An explosive Obama-Kenya connection?

The author of a best-selling book on Barack Obama says he didn't know what was going to happen to him during a frightening 13-hour detention in Kenya. As it turns out, the story has a connection to the Democratic presidential candidate.

Dr. Jerome Corsi's latest book is The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality -- which at one point occupied the top spot of the New York Times best-seller list.

The author says he traveled to Kenya to investigate Senator Obama's relationship with radical Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga. Corsi says just before he was ready to conduct a news conference to reveal his findings, he was detained by Kenyan immigration and military officials and was held for several hours.

"For those 13 hours I had no idea what was going to happen -- a very, very frightening experience," Corsi shares. "[But] it was clear...through the course of the day that Odinga did not want the information [I was prepared to share] released in Kenya. And so I'm sure the Obama-Odinga camp considered what I came up with in Kenya too explosive to allow the press conference to happen."

The information he wanted to present in Kenya, says Corsi, had to do with an agreement Odinga signed with a radical Muslim leader in exchange for Islamic votes in the 2006 election for president.

"And Odinga agreed to sign this memorandum of understanding to expand Sharia law, or Islamic law, to get Muslims to vote for him," he explains. "And Obama started campaigning for Odinga, [and] raised a million dollars...in the United States for Odinga's presidential campaign in Kenya."

According to Corsi, the only other major contributor to Odinga was Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.

Is this getting any MSM traction? (Rhetorical question?)

Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga has said he is a cousin of US presidential hopeful Barack Obama.

Mr Odinga told the BBC's The World Today that Senator Obama's father was his maternal uncle.

Obama’s partisan support for Odinga was considered so transparent, that the Kenyan Government spokesman, Alfred Matua, complained of political posturing to aid Odinga’s election chances: “It is very clear that the senator has been used as a puppet to perpetuate opposition politics,”(“Walking The World Stage” Newsweek 9/11/06) And, “…we earlier thought he was mature in his assessment of Kenyan and African politics,” Mutua told AFP.”We forgive him because it is his first time in the Senate and he is yet to mature into understanding issues of foreign policy,” he said.”(“Obama’s Kenya Honeymoon Ends Abruptly After Graft Rebuke” 8/29/06) Subsequently, Ambassador Ogingo Ogego made a public complaint to the US.(“Kenyan Envoy Kicks Off Diplomatic Row” My Africa 9/27/2006)

Raila Odinga subsequently lost the controversial (probably rigged) presidential election. In what appeared to many—including Human Rights Watch– as a coordinated strategy from the top, (“Violence We Fled was Planned, Say Kenyan Refugees” Reuters 1/26/2008 and “Kenya: Violence Planned Before Poll, Says Report” The Nation 3/18/2008) his Luo supporters (a core of whom call themselves The Taliban”(“Ethnic Gangs Rile Kenyan Slums” Newsweek 1/10/08)) engaged in what US Envoy Jendayi Frazer called “clear ethnic cleansing” (“US Envoy Calls Violence in Kenya ‘Ethnic Cleansing’” USA Today 1/30/2008) of the Kikuyu opposition.

why is the MSM not picking up on this? I mean how ignorant can they be?

[Savage Beast]

How many "investigators" did the "Protectors of the Public Interest" (the so-called "journalists" of the MSM) send to Alaska--"to find out what the public needs to know" about a Vice Presidential candidate???

How many did they send to Kenya to find out about a Presidential candidate???

[sarasota]

They’re not ignorant. They are in bed with Obama and want him to win at all cost to America. We must not let this happen.

[Savage Beast]

It’s not a matter of ignorance. The Democrat operatives in the MSM do not want any information unfavorable to Obama to reach the public. It’s a news blackout.

[USMC 4-ever]

Its so frustrating! I’m trying to get the truth out to as many people as i can doing my part. :)

[River_Wrangler]

Go to the African press International and read more of their articles. Very interesting reading.

[USMC 4-ever]

I have! Very interesting reading indeed. I have been anonymously leaving articles like these in the break room at the salon i work at :)

[Savage Beast]

Me too.

So many people have their fingers in their ears and their eyes closed.

The news blackout is scary.

What I fear most is voter fraud and news blackouts. It it were not for these, Obama's defeat at the polls would be a foregone conclusion.

We must keep fighting. I think the vast majority of Americans will reject the Democrats at the last minute, in the voting booth. Many who are undecided will come to their senses. I see many pro-Obama signs, but most cars and homes have no signs; I think these are probably people who will vote against the Democrats.

I have no yard signs or bumper stickers because, frankly, my wife is afraid to put them up. Many people probably share this fear.

But for a man like Obama to have gotten this far is terrifying.

[USMC 4-ever]

I completely agree. I don’t know if it is just me, but i dont think i have seen nearly as many yard signs in this election as I have in previous elections. I also have not put any yard signs out or put any bumper stickers on my car for the same reason.

“According to Corsi, the only other major contributor to Odinga was Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.”

That’s special.

[Osage Orange]

I mean how ignorant can they be?

Sorry....but actually the question is...how can you / we be this ignorant?

The MSM / DBM is the most DANGEROUS entity in this country...and at least half the Sheeple have no clue.

[USMC 4-ever]

Its true. I used to just trust the media and what they reported, but the more I actually thought about what they were reporting I realized that I was just following blind and not ferreting out the truth and thinking for myself.

Thank God I realized that!!

[Osage Orange]

Amen!!

[Savage Beast]

I may be disappointed, but I think there are many—probably millions—of people like you and me, who have remained silent but who will vote against Obama and for Sanity on election day.
