WND is publishing for the first time the prepared opening statement by Jerome Corsi for the scheduled Oct. 7 press conference in Nairobi that was shut down when he was detained by Kenyan military and immigration authorities.
As Corsi developed the text the previous day, he shared it with key government officials and accepted suggestions for changes.
The only governmental factions Corsi was unable to interview in Kenya were Prime Minister Raila Odinga and Orange Democratic Movement party members still remaining loyal to him.
Corsi said the office of Kenyan President Kibaki and Vice President Kolonzo were fully informed of his intention to hold the press conference at the Grand Regency Hotel, and neither expressed any objections.

For the past week, I have been in Nairobi, Kenya, investigating the ties between Sen. Barack Obama and Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga, as first presented in my New York Times No. 1 best-selling book, "The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality."
Chapter 4 of my book was devoted to Kenya.
As a result of the investigative journalism I have done in Kenya this past week, I can now verify the following:
Senator Barack Obama and Prime Minister Raila Odinga have been in direct contact since Senator Obama's visit to Kenya in 2006.
Senator Obama has advised Raila Odinga on campaign strategy and helped Raila Odinga raise money in the United States for Raila Odinga's presidential campaign in Kenya.
The memorandum of understanding Raila Odinga, representing the Orange Democratic Movement, or ODM, and Sheikh Abdullahi Abdi, the chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum, or NAMLEF, signed on Aug. 27, 2007, is now verified as a genuine document in the original long form Abdi produced for Kenyan television.
An eight-page document drafted for Raila Odinga as an executive summary of his campaign strategy, entitled "Positioning and Marketing of the Orange Democratic Movement and the People's President – Hon. Raila A. Odinga," that was allegedly prepared by the party's core strategy team has also been verified as a valid document.
Odinga's 2007 presidential campaign strategy called for exploiting anti-Kikuyu sentiments, claiming victory and charging voter fraud even if the campaign knew the election had been legitimately lost and being willing to fan the flames of ethnic tribal tensions and use violence as a last resort by calling for mass action which led to the destruction of properties, injuries, loss of life and the displacement of over 500,000 Kenyans. This was to create a situation forcing the Electoral Commission of Kenya to declare Odinga the winner or having him declare himself, by force, "The People's President" at a rally in Uhuru Park.
Even though Odinga has not fulfilled his promises to the Muslims who voted for him, he continues to cause concern among Kenyan Christians, because he has not declared his position on Shariah law and the Kadhi's Court in Kenya.
Sen. Obama remained in active phone contact with Odinga, through the New Hampshire Democratic Party primary in January, continuing to support Odinga, turning a blind eye to the memorandum of understanding signed with Muslims and the post-election violence instigated as part of the ODM campaign strategy. Until the U.S. presidential election in November, I will be substantiating these charges on WorldNetDaily, where I am a senior staff investigative reporter.
I also plan to be actively on radio and television in the United States to explain the results of my research in Kenya and the articles I plan to write on WorldNetDaily.

pabianice
That was some funny sh!t!!!
Someone please help me out. I understand that Obama has helped a Muslim group, and this should cause political damage to him. But what are the legal ramifications of a US Senator providing support to a foreign candidate? What laws did he break?
LOL .. good one ... thought it was a real link,.
Well, he did it on a Senate “Fact finding mission” so at the very least its an ethics violation. Not that the senate is gonna take that up. Its run by Dims too.
Rumor is that Corsi has emails from NObama’s campaign indicating that Odinga should incite violence if he were to lose.
Still looks like no story without documentation to prove his point....
That will be interesting if true. The media here will ignore it though.
From the telecast (Webinar?) he made a couple days ago, I heard that before he lost his blackberry he was able txt messaging to the Chief Editor at WDN and he was lucky enough to have CNN pick it up about the arrest. While Corsi and the other guy were interrogated, there was a TV on the wall in the room flashing from CNN news his arrest.Probably saved his life???
WOW, it sounds like a James Bond movie!!!
Logan Act and more???
I dont think it matters. What matters is that, even if he were born inside the US, it looks like he was adopted by the Indonesian, Soetello, which would make him an Indonesian citizen.
This story took so long to break, that I’m even doubting it’s credibility. There is no reason Corsi couldn’t have come out by now. He is losing credibility quick. I dont think he really has anything.
Yes...and it sounds vaguely like the API/michele obama story.
They’re waiting and waiting and waiting....on something.....
Right off the top of my head, I can’t say name that law and also since I have been up all night. But no, elected officials are not allowed to go abroad and campaign

It is the Campaign stratgey document that Corsi just confirmed that Obama helped to build with Odinga.
Logan Act might apply. Also the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
