The corporate media has overwhelmingly praised Barack Obama’s speech in Johannesburg on Tuesday at an event commemorating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Nelson Mandela, calling it an “impassioned” defense of democracy, tolerance, equality and the liberal capitalist world order established after World War II.
The reports have singled out Obama’s muted and indirect criticisms of Donald Trump’s “strongman politics” and the “utter loss of shame among political leaders” who are “caught in a lie and just double down and lie some more.”

17 Jul: Youtube: Dr. Mumbi Show: Prayers Answered! OBAMA VISIT UPDATE!
THANK YOU !!! to all of who stood with us in prayer against the globalist, demonic agenda that Obama had planned for Kenya. We are happy to report that our prayers were answered and his event in Kenya was very watered down.
