Corsi detention orchestrated by Obama's political friend
WND | 12/19/08 | Staff

Posted on 12/19/2008 10:44:50 PM PST by pissant

The Kenyan official who reportedly orchestrated the detention of WND senior staff reporter Jerome R. Corsi when he visited Kenya to investigate President-elect Barack Obama's close ties to the nation's prime minister, Raila Odinga, was Odinga himself, according to WND sources inside Kenya.

Corsi, whose recent book, "The Obama Nation," raised questions about the Democrat when he was a candidate for president, had scheduled a news conference in Nairobi to discuss his discoveries during his visit this fall.

However, he was detained by immigration officials and held without food for much of a day until he was escorted onto his already-booked flight leaving Kenya with the sendoff, "See you in hell."

Now sources inside Kenya have reported to WND that his detention was orchestrated by Odinga, not President Mwai Kibaki or Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka. Corsi, in fact, had discussed with governmental officials for the president and vice-president his findings, and they provided no objection to his scheduled press conference.

Corsi needs to come out and tell more of what he found in his fact finding trip to Kenya and to London.

Given how the focus has been on his detention and not on his results, I’m going to go out on a limb and say he hasn’t found much.

Odinga lost the last election and set his muslim thugs to rioting and murder. The elected government agreed to invent the position of prime minister and award it to him if he would call off the dogs. obama went on the election circuit with him prior to the election, a US senator campaining for a radical muslim candidate in a foregin country. No one, not John McCain, no one from the media brought this up during the election.

Findings from the trip to London. Perhaps I just expected more.

Yes, the fifth column enemedia has done their service for the little marxist squirrel. And you can bet the rhetoric will heat up from the scum media if the eligibility question grows legs without the mainstream media obama sycophants controlling it. I would say there will begin soon articles written raising the issue of riots should Obama be found ineligible because he's not a natural born citizen.

I will predict that within the next three to ten days Chris Matthews will ridicule the Berg suit and the whole issue of the ineligibility, while sending out the first hint of riots if the chosen affirmative action bastard is not allowed to have the job. Perhaps Paul 'forehead' Begala will echo the sentiment, to herd the sheeple into the proper frame of mind.

David Axelrod has been stealthily directing Matthews and others throughout the last two years. Mara Liasson (FOX, Special Report) is another following Axelrod leadership, as she accidentally revealed when right before the election she floated the absurd Axelrod lie that Obama and Ayers probably met sometime because their children attend the same schools ... and Brit Hume and the useless 'Beltway Boys' sat their smiling without even a peep!

The democrat party is a criminal enterprise. Chicago politics are more criminal than even most other democrap strongholds like in PA. They will use any thuggery to accomplish their goals, as their empowering themselves via the blood of fifty million innocent alive unborn slaughtered in their leftist rites attests.

The Constitution is merely an outdated nuisance to the democrats. Their voters are too socialist now to care a whit about the Constitutional contract by which the Republic exists. And Barry has already shown canceling Constitutional things like rights is fine so long as it protects the murderous rites of abortion empowerment for democrat politicians.

And that empowerment is based upon women who desire that power to abort because of an unplanned pregnancy. It is a strong and selfish motivation to vote Democrat every election.

Because they were sure Odinga's tactics would be employed in the U.S. and nothing could be done to stop it.

Obama and Odinga at a Kenyan rally

It's no surprise that Odinga detained Corsi.

Let them riot. But let justice be done to Obama first. Then, if they riot, justice will be done to them.


I posted this tonight on another forum, and I might as well post it here, too, for the venting benefit I get.

Sometimes I think the Internet is exacerbating the already considerable difficulties in political communication in this country. Conservatives read conservative sites, and liberals read liberal sites. True, some venture to the other camp’s sites, but by and large, when they do, if they comment they are mocking and rude.

Before the Internet, we had maybe two local newspapers, and we had national magazines. That situation exposed each political camp to the thought of the other camp. And that was a time when journalists actually reported news objectively, or at least far more objectively than they do today.

And today there is no sober hearing-out of the other’s point of view. The preacher is always talking to his own choir. We are stuck. I know there are terrific benefits of the Internet, but in the area of political discourse, I think its record is abysmal.

The forums that allow comments on articles are frequently inhabited by near-illiterates who apparently have little knowledge of how government works and think nothing of displaying their ignorance by their inane pontifications and conjectures. I’m getting close to the point of abandoning the Internet as a source of political news altogether. I am very discouraged.

What has led me to this point has been the absence of any serious discussion of an issue that has been relegated to the “fringe,” though it is a reasonable issue to raise. “What issue might that be?” you ask. “I hope you don’t mean that silly “natural born citizen” issue. Please grow up.”

Yes, that’s it. And that’s the response, even from some otherwise sober conservatives, that leads me to think the Internet is killing rational discourse.

You stated this sentiment so much more eloquently than I; it was the sentiment I was seeking to express: "Let them riot. But let justice be done to Obama first. Then, if they riot, justice will be done to them."

The nation is infected with an ACORN blight. Drastic measures are now the only way such a blight will be repelled.

When the Chestnut trees developed a blight, those that could be located were cut down and turned into furniture, but the chestnut as a might American tree was no more. Pine beetles are ravaging the pines across the South. Cutting down infested ones and burning the underbrush is the only way to halt the pernicious assault, if it can indeed be halted.

I believe that photo was said to have been taken at a clinic, where Barack and Michelle were seeking to encourage Kenyan’s to be tested for AIDs. I found it interesting that Raila gets into so many of the pictures, with Barack taking a position ‘backing up Raila’.

I see the same thing. That’s one reason why I enjoy logging in over at Intrade’s forum. People over there don’t have to pretend they’re conservative. I find it refreshing. Also, if I really know what’s what, I can make money off those ignorant liberals. A double win.

What we need is a highly moderated debate.com forum. Check out the rules on the religion boards here on FR, there are caucus threads, ecumenical threads, open threads, etc. So the level of moderation is appropriate to the discussion.

If there is not an opportunity to develop such a system for general use here at FR, it represents an opportunity to open a discussion board where that kind of thing really does take place. Let me know if you’re interested. By your login name, it sounds like you & I are in similar lines of work and we could make this thing fly. My preference is to have it fly right here on FR. JimRob gets first right of refusal, so to speak.

My best guess is either he or his agent decided that stuff was hot enough that people would pay $29.95 to read about it, rather than Corsi spilling the beans for free on Hannity & Colmes.

Being a capitalist, I can see the wisdom of this.

Forgot to give you the link to the Intrade thread. It’s by far the largest thread on their forum.

Thanks, Kevmo. I’ll check it out. I might be interested in doing something, if it’s needed. Right now I’m grappling with the mystery of why no serious legal scholars are dealing with this issue of constitutional qualification. Some say they are afraid of being labeled racists, and some say that after Congress counts the electoral votes the Supreme Court will do something. Some even say there’s a secret plan being executed as we speak. If we are in a civil war now, we need an alternate, secure method of communication.

***Scary stuff. We FReepers would obviously be among the first to be rounded up for reeducation and concentration camps.
