About 50 parishioners were locked into the Assemblies of God church before it was set ablaze. They were mostly women and children. Those who tried to flee were hacked to death by machete-wielding members of a mob numbering 2,000.
The 2008 New Year Day atrocity in the Kenyan village Eldoret, about 185 miles northwest of Nairobi, had all the markings of the Rwanda genocide of a decade earlier.
By mid-February 2008, more than 1,500 Kenyans were killed. Many were slain by machete-armed attackers. More than 500,000 were displaced by the religious strife. Villages lay in ruin. Many of the atrocities were perpetrated by Muslims against Christians.
The violence was led by supporters of Raila Odinga, the opposition leader who lost the Dec. 27, 2007, presidential election by more than 230,000 votes. Odinga supporters began the genocide hours after the final election results were announced Dec. 30. Mr. Odinga was a member of Parliament representing an area in western Kenya, heavily populated by the Luo tribe, and the birthplace of Barack Obama's father.
Mr. Odinga had the backing of Kenya's Muslim community heading into the election. For months he denied any ties to Muslim leaders, but fell silent when Sheik Abdullahi Abdi, chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum, appeared on Kenya television displaying a memorandum of understanding signed on Aug. 29, 2007, by Mr. Odinga and the Muslim leader. Mr. Odinga then denied his denials.

Both history in Kenya and Jerome R Corsi, PhD. have documented events going back to the 1950's involving Obama's father and Odinga Odinga, father of Raila Odinga, in a, at times, bloody battle between capitalism and socialism. Recent history, as recent as the Kenya election December 27, 2007 involve an attempt to gain power in Kenya by Raila Odinga along with an indication to institute Islamic Shariah law on a largely Christian Kenyan populace, with Barack Obama asserting political influence in support of Raila Odinga.
“Raila Odinga’s politics, like the politics of his father, Odinga Odinga, are on the far left. Raila Odinga was educated at the Technical University in Magdeburg in east Germany, where he graduated in 1970 with a degree in mechanical engineering. There he heard Fidel Castro lecture and he named his first born son Fidel. On July 31, 1982, junior military men of the Luo tribe in the Kenyan Air Force led a coup against President Daniel arap Moi, but it failed. For his suspected involvement in the coup, Raila Odinga was arrested, charged with treason, and incarcerated without trial for nine years. He was released in February 1988 and then rearrested in September 1988, this time for involvement with the clandestine Kenya Revolutionary Movement and for facilitating travel to Libya for Kenyans seeking to get military training under Colonel Muammar Qaddafi.”
** Our note ** Remember Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan’s trip to Libya.
“We have to ask whether Obama, by supporting Odinga openly in Kenya, lent his name also to endorse Odinga’s leftist politics and Odinga’s alliance with radical Muslims pushing Islam in Kenya.”
“Obama visited Kenya while President Kibaki was locked in a presidential election contest with Raila Odinga. During his visit, the Kibaki administration objected that Odinga was using Obama’s visit to win votes. Obama’s repeated public appearances with Odinga and his almost daily criticism of the Kibaki government added to the Kibaki administration’s dismay at how the U.S. Senator conducted himself in their country.”
“The Channel 2 news team also interviewed on camera Kenyan government spokesman Alfred Mutua, who accused Obama of meddling inappropriately in Kenyan presidential politics. Mutua said politely but pointedly that “I think Obama has to look critically where he is receiving his advice from. Just because somebody somewhere wants to run for president, and he is using Senator Obama as his stooge, as his puppet, to be able to get where he wants to get.”"
“By supporting Odinga, Senator Obama is also seen in Kenya as siding with the extreme left wing of Kenyan politics, going back to the overt communism of Odinga Odinga. Odinga’s current party, the Orange Democratic Movement, or ODM, is a leftist-socialist political party that stops short of being openly communist.”
“After the December 27, 2007, presidential vote, Raila Odinga charged he had been denied the presidency by voter fraud…..Odinga’s claim led to widespread fighting that killed more than a thousand people in the weeks after the election and left more than 350,000 Kenyans displaced.”
"In a horrifying incident following the election, at least fifty people, including women and children, were killed when an angry mob focied Kikuyu Christians into an Assemblies of God Pentecostal church and set fire to it, hacking with machetes any of the Christians who tried to escape the flames. The violence occurred in the village of Eldoret, about 185 miles northwest of Nairobi. The massagre in the church was part of youth gangs violence aimed at harassing the Kikuyu Chrisitan minority, which before the election numbered around 20 percent of the Eldoret's five hundred thousand people. After the church burning, the vast majority of Eldoret's Kikuyu Chrisitan minority fled the city, in fear of their lives."
“Christian missionaries reported that more than three hundred Christian churches were severely damaged or destroyed in the wave of violence that swept the country, but mosques were left undisturbed.”
“Another horrific report came from the Telegraph in London. Members of President Kibaki’s Kikuyu tribe were attacked in Nairobi slums by ethnic groups, including Luo youth and men who engaged in gang rapes of women and gang sodomy of boys as young as five years old.”
“Although Odinga professes to be an Anglican Christian, concerns even today continue to circulate, especially among Kenya’s Christian leaders, that Odinga intends to pursue an undeclared radical Islamic political agenda.”

**Added** Of note, Despite claims of being Christian, Raila Odinga, like his father before him, Odinga Odinga, allegedly use these names to assert a distance between themselves and christianity.
Facing such a heated election here in the United States, we have to ask ourselves if Barack Obama, following so closely in his father's footsteps in Kenya, would himself declare election fraud leading to racial rioting.
Not surprisingly there are those who seek to impeach Senator Barack Obama, with his involvments in Kenya listed among the charges:
� Whereas as a US Senator, Barack Obama violated the stated intention of his 2006 Official Government Visa to Africa by publicly propagandizing for his cousin, Railla Odinga against the US democratic ally of Kenya.
�Whereas the stated mission of Senator Obama's Official Visa, according to the Kenya Office of Public Communications, was to nurture relations between the Continent and the United States he, instead, made public protest before Kenya citizens to rally against their leadership, invoking a need for Change! and accusing this US allied nation of corruption. In Official Protest of Mr. Obama's passport abuse and misconduct, Kenya's government cited his extremely disturbing statements on issues which it is clear, he was very poorly informed, and on which he chose to lecture the Government and the people of Kenya on how to manage our country.
� Whereas, furthermore, there is no public record of any sanctions or reprimand by the US Congress of Senator Obama's passport violation or campaigning on foreign soil against a US ally, history has since recorded the broadspread destruction of Kenya's economy and large scale loss of life as a result of the violence instigated by Odinga's ODM campaign there.

This may be a preview of what Obama’s minions will do if he loses the election.
Many of the atrocities were perpetrated by Muslims against Christians.
The violence was led by supporters of Raila Odinga, the opposition leader who lost the Dec. 27, 2007, presidential election by more than 230,000 votes. Odinga supporters began the genocide hours after the final election results were announced Dec. 30.

Sorry everyone who started to get the word out on Obama’s part in this genocide. I hope the word gets out. It’s NOT TO LATE! Not if we spread the word like wild fire.
If you know ANYONE.. anyone at all. Can call any radio stations with this, do it!
Anyone can google this and see pictures of it too.
Oh, and this was the trip when he and Michelle showed how it wasn’t SCARY to take the AIDS/HIV test. LOL
Then all those people were hacked to death, little kids.
Someone should have given THEM the option. An AIDS/HIV test or a machete, you chose!
Being raped or sodomized at age 5...
Sorry.. no choice there! They were Christians! Couldn’t have that, now could we!
Please keep bumping this. This was “GOVERNING” Obama style!
Thanks for the bump again. Night...
This is the worst of the worst for this nation if he is elected. We’ve known it but can’t understand how people are so blindsighted...
Perhaps this explains it;
According to The Book of Revelations:
The Anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will
deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE
Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him
and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power,
he will destroy everything.
Yep, that’s them! It bears repeating (since he is always commenting in a joking way that he ISN’T the messiah!)

Clearly, Obama campaigned for someone who is corrupt, ruthless and has financial ties to terrorists. More importantly, Obama campaigned for a candidate who had the stated objective of dismantling US & Kenyan government efforts to root out Al Queda and other terrorist organizations. Organizations that had already caused the deaths of hundreds of Americans and Africans in embassy bombings. Senator Obama’s actions—intentional or not—were in direct conflict with the efforts and interests of US national security. I think this raises serious questions about the judgment, maturity and readiness of Senator Obama.
makes me ill. horrifying how many humans are nothing more than following fools.
The link Jim posted is somewhat similar to mine, but is better. It contains additional info and more shocking footage. ie, those are machetes those guys are using to whack their victims with, not sticks.
violence coming to United States neighborhood compliments of OBAMA.
Anyone monitoring “Breaking News” tonight? You da boss but Weather reports, Vanity, and 2 articles from Sundays paper listed as Breaking???
I think and I pray that the Catholic Church knows the evil that Obama and his ilk are planning for Chirstians in Africa. I think they do and this is why the bishops have told Catholics in many states especially NM and PA that Obama is totally unacceptable.
I am not an active Catholic but I think they know what Obama has been involved in and how dangerous and evil he is.

HE/OBAMA KNOWS ODINGA HAS TERRORIST LEANINGS. JUST AS REV. WRIGHT TRAVELED WITH AND HONORS LOUIS FARAHKAN! HE’S NOT “THAT” NAIVE, AND I’M THINKING WE’VE ALL BEEN EXTREMELY DUPED!
READ THE FOLLOWING FROM THE ARTICLE YOU LINKED ME TO;
Odinga’s supporters went on a rampage—burning Kikuyu homes and businesses, (“Ethnic Cleansing in Luoland” The Economist 2/7/2008) raping Kikuyu women, and murdering everyone in their path—including at least 50 Christian Kikuyu woman & children who had sought refuge in a church. They burned them alive. (“Mob Burns Kenyans Seeking Refuge In Church” CNN 1/10/2008)
“We have evidence that ODM [Odinga’s party] politicians and local leaders actively fomented some post-election violence,” Georgette Gagnon, acting Africa director for the New York based Human Rights Watch (HRW), said on Thursday.” (Violence We Fled was Planned, Say Kenyan Refugees” Ibid)
So: who is Raila Odinga that Senator Obama would expend his political capital and risk the goodwill of half the population of Kenya?
Their relationship is unclear. The BBC initially reported that Obama and Odinga were first cousins.(“Odinga Says Obama is His Cousin” 1/8/2008) The Obama campaign has since denied a familial relationship. Raila Odinga’s father Oginga Odinga was leader of the “Kenya People’s Union” and perceived as a “committed socialist” (“Oginga Odinga: Kenya’s Most Persecuted Politician” Kenya: Key Issues 8/21.2002). Odinga Sr. was also the political ally of fellow Luo; Barack Obama Sr.(The Risks of Knowledge (Ohio University Press, 2004) p. 182)
What we do know about Odinga is not good. A former Minister of Energy, Odinga is reported to have been set up in the oil business by the al Bakri Group and Muammar Quaddafi (“How Rich is Raila-The ODM Kenya Presidential Aspirant?” African Press 4/26/2007) Abdel Qader Bakri (or- Abdulkader al Bakri) was listed on the infamous “Golden Chain”–an internal Al-Queda list of wealthy Saudi financial sponsors seized by Bosnian police in a Islamic “charity” raid in 2001. (“Terrorist Financing Staff Monograph 9/11 Commission and “The Golden Chain”) According to his website, Odinga was educated in Communist East Germany, (Herder Institute, Leipzig & Otto von Guericke Tech. Institute, Magdeburg) (http://www.raila07.com) Odinga’s eldest son is named “Fidel” (http://www.raila07.com)
Perhaps most troubling is Odinga’s links to Islamic extremists in Kenya. According to Voice of America and the Evangelical Alliance of Kenya, on 8/29/07, Odinga signed a secret agreement (exposed 11/27) with Sheikh Abdullah Abdi of the National Muslim
Leaders Forum (NAMLEF) in which he agreed to institute Islamic law in exchange for Abdi’s support (eakenya.org)–thereby potentially disenfranchising and curtailing the liberties of millions of Christian Kenyan women. Further, he promised that Muslims suspected of terrorism would be safe from extradition—thereby establishing a ‘safe haven’ for terrorists in Kenya.
After the public outcry, Odinga denied signing a secret agreement. Angry at Odinga’s apparent repudiation, a member of NAMLEF subsequently released the agreement to the press. Odinga then claimed the document was a forgery, but acknowledged a secret agreement had been signed in exchange for Muslim support. Finally, under constant pressure, Odinga released what he claimed was the actual document (“Real” MOU) a considerably watered down version of the original; but still anathema to many Christian groups. “In response to the revelations, The Evangelical Alliance of Kenya released a statement in which church leaders said Raila, in both MOUs, ‘comes across as a presumptive Muslim president bent on forcing Islamic law, religion and culture down the throats of the Kenyan people in total disregard of the Constitutionally guaranteed rights of freedom of worship and equal protection of the law’” (“Concerns Raised Over Alleged Vow To Enforce Islamic Law in Kenya” Christian Post 12/18/2007) To many westerners, the idea of imposing Sharia in a predominantly Christian country may have seemed fanciful. However, Kenya has had Sharia courts for family law (not criminal law)—called Khadi courts—since 1963.
For the US and “the war on terror”—the most worrisome section—contained in both agreements– concerns extradition (or renditions) of suspected terrorists to the US and
elsewhere. The Kibaki government had been a leading supporter of the US’s efforts to dismantle Al-Queda cells in Kenya (National Commission of Terrorist Attacks on the United States- 9/11 Report) and elsewhere. Raila Odinga made opposition to the government’s crackdown of suspected Al Queda supporters a cornerstone of his campaign “In Kimanthi’s view, ‘only some of the leaders’…were Al Queda sympathizers. The renditions- along with frequent police sweeps on the Swahili coast-had become an emotional issue in the presidential race. Islamic outrage had placed the incumbent, Kibaki, on the defensive and provided Raila Odinga with a tool to rally the support of Kenya’s Muslims.” (“The African Front” New York Times Magazine 12/23/2007) And, “Our government will not be held at ransom to extradite Muslims to foreign lands”, Odinga told supporters in the coastal city of Mombassa. ‘This government is behaving as if it is still a colony.’” (“Outcome of Kenyan Election Could Impact Anti-Terror Cooperation” CNSNews.com 10/17/2007)
So, how much of a national security concern is this? Well, actually: huge “…proximity to the volatile states…including Somalia and Sudan have made Kenya especially vulnerable, in the views of counterterrorism experts, to the call for jihad. Since the early 1990s, the mosques of Mombasa and other towns have resonated with militant Islamic rhetoric. Radical imams have preached violence against Westerners, attacked the Kenyan government as the lackey of the United States and Israel and called for the implementation of Shariah. Members of the Qaeda cells that blew up the U.S. embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania…were recruited in mosques near the Indian Ocean beaches [in Kenya]“ (“The African Front” , ibid)
At no point has Senator Obama tried to distance himself from Odinga. Odinga visited Obama on a fundraising tour of the US in 2007 and it is believed that political strategist Dick Morris assisted in Odinga’s presidential campaign- gratis- at Obama’s request (Morris only acknowledged the suggestion came through “mutual friends”). (“Bridges Burned in US, Political Kingmaker Hits Africa” ABC News 11/20/2007) Odinga has claimed that he and Obama speak regularly and whether this is true or not– the similarities between their campaigns are startling. (“Kenya Tests New Style of Politicking” The Washington Post, 12/22/2007)
In fairness to Senator Obama, after Kenya erupted into violence ( and at the request of Condoleezza Rice), Obama did record a message “. …calling for calm…” and had “..near daily conversations with the US Ambassador…and Raila Odinga” (“The Demons That Still Haunt Africa” TIME magazine 1/10/2008). Perhaps not surprisingly, President Kibaki apparently declined to take his call. Kibaki’s not the only one no longer filled with enthusiasm for Senator Obama’s brand of diplomacy. As Nicholas Kristof reported (with some surprise) in February: “You might think that all Kenyans would be vigorously supporting Mr. Obama. But Kenya has been fractured along ethnic lines in the last two months, so now Mr. Obama draws frenzied support from the Luos ethnic group of his ancestors, while many members of the rival Kikuyu group fervently support Hillary Rodham Clinton. (“Obama’s Kenya Roots” New York Times 2/24/2008)
Curiously, it has been the Kenyan press (almost alone) who have realized the potential implications: “… this is what may be the most memorable effect of the ODM’s [Odinga’s party] post-election campaign for State House. The longer their protests last, and the less disciplined they are - or the more atrocities like Eldoret [church massacre] are conducted in the party’s name- the more likely Kenya is to be stuck on the front pages of the world’s media and the more embarrassment it will bring to the Senator.” (“The Kiss of Death, How Kenya Could Spoil It For Obama” KenyaImagine 1/13/2008)
Clearly, Obama campaigned for someone who is corrupt, ruthless and has financial ties to terrorists. More importantly, Obama campaigned for a candidate who had the stated objective of dismantling US & Kenyan government efforts to root out Al Queda and other terrorist organizations. Organizations that had already caused the deaths of hundreds of Americans and Africans in embassy bombings. Senator Obama’s actions—intentional or not—were in direct conflict with the efforts and interests of US national security. I think this raises serious questions about the judgment, maturity and readiness of Senator Obama.
