Had Americans been able to stop obsessing over the color of Barack Obama's skin and instead paid more attention to his cultural identity, maybe he would not be in the White House today. The key to understanding him lies with his identification with his father, and his adoption of a cultural and political mindset rooted in postcolonial Africa.
Thanks Lucy...What struck me was the possibility that SADO was in hiding at one point....(Possibly a riff with her parents)
You’re right, LucyT...it should be in The Library of Congress.
Fred Nerks, I’d also like to preorder a copy of the book that you should be writing!
THANKS!
Discuss amongst ourselves, needs more research. Any questions?
Still reading...will keep a list and let you know. I swear, you know know about the USA than most Americans!
Do either of you remember where I can find the morfing picture of Malcom X and Obama?
I have company here and would like to show them.
you have mail
Thanks for the update, LucyT
Also, many thanks for the excellent research, Fred Nerks.
Ping.

Amazing.
During a telephone interview, one of Stanley Ann Dunham’s classmates from Mercer Island let something slip:
Stanley Ann Dunham had sent her a post-card from a ship. In February. 1961. Imagine that.

Finally found the time to re-read and digest this post.
Do you have any idea how long it would’ve taken by ship?
And to think Wright’s church has pictures of Du Bois, Malcolm X and Garvey....wonder if the press ever asked BO about that? (Sadly, I know the answer.)
BO’s been surrounded by commie pinkos either directly or indirectly his whole life.
depends..on when she boarded and where she got off...thanks for the comment. Another installment coming soon.
whoops!
I meant to write; depends on WHERE she boarded...
Believe it or not that’s how I read it!
Actually, I was kind of thinking along the lines of boarding in, well let’s just hypothetically say, Kenya?
And hypothetically, of course, arriving in, well let’s say, Seattle?
"...In July 1960 some 280 African students awarded scholarships in the United States stood poised for an extraordinary opportunity. Four years of college would vault them into the educated elites of their countries and provide crucial intellectual infrastructure as their nations moved toward independence. The students had scholarships; their communities had raised money for expenses. Just one obstacle remained: passage to America. And as the start of the school year neared, their journey seemed in jeopardy. An organization dedicated to helping these students, the African-American Students Foundation (aasf), did not have the funds to bring them to the United States. Wealthier foundations said their money was committed elsewhere. When the aasf appealed to the U.S. State Department for help, officials consistently rejected their pleas."
Senator John F. Kennedy and the Kenyan nationalist leader Tom Mboya speak to reporters after their meeting on July 26, 1960, in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. Mboya had asked Kennedy to intercede with the State Department for funds to transport African students to the United States. Instead, Kennedy secured funds from a charity his family controlled.

JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY - AIRLIFT
In Nairobi Mboya and Kiano joined forces with a third Kenyan, Kariuki Njiiri, to identify Kenyan students who would form the nucleus of the first African Airlift. They awarded scholarships to 39 students who, along with an almost equal number of candidates who had made private arrangements, filled the 81 seats available on the charter plane. Through a fund-raising effort headed by Belafonte, Poitier, and baseball legend Jackie Robinson, aasf raised $35,000 from eight thousand contributors for the transatlantic transportation. How important was the fund raising? The charter aircraft alone cost approximately $330 per person in a nation where Africans earned a per capita income of $84 a year. More than five thousand exuberant Kenyans gathered at the airport to send off the students.[25]
On both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, black leaders recognized the need for aid to African education. With the encouragement of American civil rights leaders such as A. Philip Randolph, the Kenyan Tom Mboya organized the African-American Students Foundation (aasf), which awarded Kenyan students scholarships for study in the United States. This photograph shows the Kenyan students arriving at Idlewild Airport in New York in September 1959 as participants in the first African Airlift.

The baseball legend Jackie Robinson, who backed efforts to bring African students to the United States, greets the first African Airlift arrivals in New York in September 1959.
Barack Obama wrote that his father had been selected by Kenyan leaders and American sponsors to attend a university in the United States, but a list of the students who landed in New York on September 9, 1959, does not contain the name of the elder Obama. Tom Shachtman, working in the African-American Students Foundation (aasf) papers for a book on the airlifts, has found that the elder Obama came in 1959 with support from the aasf but appears to have been routed a different way as he made his way to the University of Hawaii.

"...the other major meaning of this Obama moment for the world and America is that America offers decades old opportunities for which you may never predict its fullness, ultimate value or time of fruition. Recall that when this country offered his father Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. (1936&endash;1982) the opportunities for higher education including attending Harvard as an economist, the seeds for the younger Obama's giving back to America was sown. It was a support which also had major support by individuals such as Harry Belafonte, Sidney Poitier, Jackie Robinson, and Elizabeth Mooney Kirk according to the Kenyan Tom Mboya's archives at Stanford University, California.

Khalid Al-Mansour IS BLACK PANTHER DON WARDEN:
"Founded in October of 1966 in Oakland, California by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale, the Black Panther Party for Self Defense (BPP) became the most famous black power organization of the late 1960s. Newton and Seale met in 1965 at Merritt College where they were exposed to a burgeoning wave of Black Nationalism, inspired in part by the Afro-American Association, established by Don Warden at the University of California, Berkeley in 1962. Within this group and on their own, they read and discussed an eclectic group of authors including Frantz Fanon, Che Guevara, Mao Zedong, E. Franklin Frazier, and James Baldwin...

Obama and his Kenya Escapade, A Violation of his Senate Oath and Likely Criminal Reader comment on item: Confirmed: Barack Obama Practiced Islam

Having been in Kenya, I can say that the country has benefited, because of it's stability, by a large influx of "European Capital." , in banking, agriculture and the tourist industry. This has been a carrot on the stick for Kenya's government to maintain stability, and to that end it has evolved a decent army, which has prevented the infiltration of communist style liberals, who want "power to the people" which in africa, means poverty and violent inter-tribal struggle and the emergence of tribal war lords.
Most of the original Euro capital in Kenya was British but later diversified to South Africans, Rhodesians, Germans, Dutch, Scandanavian, Israeli and British commonwealth investment.
As the Arab nations accumulated vast amounts of capital, they eyed Kenya's Israeli investers who had invested billions of dollars in resorts which are situated on the Inidian Ocean coast between Mombassa and Lamu on the Somalian border. The Jewish presence ticked the Arabs wholesale. Islamofascists went in and attempted to RPG an Isreali airliner a few years ago, killing some Kenyan staff simultaneously in a resort in the Kikambala area.
The ex pat investors circled the wagons to keep the Islamofascists out of Kenya, as they attempted incursions into the Mombassa area. This was successful with the help of Kenya's army. The Muslim council of Kenya and Somalia then decided to support takeover from within Kenya, by financing Odinga, and helping his campaign with infusions of mega bucks. Enter our relative, Obama, to assist.
The idea is to bring in sharia law for the whole of Kenya in order to shut down the Israeli resorts and to nationalize capital assets owned by foreigners, selling them to wealthy Arabs. The resorts now owned by the Israelis will become Arab pleasure palaces ( with the usual array of Muslim slave women from Indonesia, Russia, Palestine etc.), and those Kenyans now working there will become Muslims and enter into the traditional master/slave relationship that has always existed between Arabs and Africans, with some prominant Kenyans as the slave drivers, like Odinga.
Sharia law prevents alcohol, bikinis, and beach bongos. No more tourism. The Israelis will have to sell out to wealthy Arabs, and also risk being bombed and shot otherwise. Kenya will then enter the black hole other African nations have, and lapse into a religious oligarchy and become like Somalia.
The expat investment community in Kenya is in distress. They are on the verge of hiring large groups of mercenaries to defend their property and supplement the Kenyan Army. The Arabs are prepared to fund the Luo and supply then with weaponry so they can usurp power through guerilla warfare, with help from the Sudan and Somalia.Al Qaeda will likely get in on the act.
Obama knows all this, and he chose the side of economic and social devolution. Thats why Obama is not fit to be president of the United States. His close ties with his family and many visits, have made it highly unlikely that he was "unaware " of the dynamic. He is just too intelligent, and too black nationalist to have been duped by Odinga.
So the plan is to bring Kenya into an axis with adjacent Somalia and Sudan, and then Egypt will fall to Islamofascism. Eventually the Arab oil supply nations will be encircled. Thats the plan. Unseat the House of Saud, and recapture Mecca and the Oil Fields for the World Caliphate.
Odinga needs to be brought to justice. He and his Islamofascists need to be tried, and executed according to Kenyan Law for the genocide they have committed. Obama is an International criminal for aiding and abetting this Islamofascist movement, and the Kenyan government should issue a warrant for his arrest. Burning a church full of women and children is simply the beginning you see, for guerilla warfare by the Luo is the next step in the usual Islamofascist evolution.The Luo are a distinct tribal minority, and seek to impose their will on a majority who want nothing to do with their scheme.
Unless Odinga and his henchmen are captured, tried and punished, this will go on for decades, and ruin a perfectly good country. Obama needs to be brought to a very short leash, and should resign his candidacy and his Senate Seat. Then he should be deported to Kenya to allow the Kenyan authorities to deal with him. I am sure he would be an excellent source of information to them.
These truths will never likely be addressed by the US MSM. Obama is their media darling, and thats part of the Obama plan. He can snub his nose at justice, because he is so popular. And if he plays his cards into the presidency, or a vice presidential office, he can help Odinga negotiate and consolidate his power in Kenya.Obama will do the same for other little jumped up African tyrants through supplying " Hope and Change" aid to such idiots, and to Islamofascist organizations, without traducing current law on funding terrorist groups. Soon the US government will be funding terrorist groups. For this reason Obama needs to be stopped now.He is a stone cold Islamofascist.

Tuesday, December 05, 2006 MOHAMED ABDI(WALI)..AN ASPIRING MANDERA EAST MP Ex-Marine Mohamed Abdi (left) with US Senator Barrack Obama is slated to kick-off his bid to become a member of Kenyan parliament
Ex-Marine Mohamed Abdi (left) focused on Congressman-elect(Minnesota, USA) Keith Ellisons campaign for the past several months, all the while making important national and international connections for his own bid to the Kenyan parliament.
Ellison is paying back the favor.
He was a keynote speaker at a fundraising event on Saturday, where dozens of Abdis friends in the Marines and others from around the world pledged to support him financially and morally.
In the words of one attendee, it was a mini United Nations gathering in Minneapolis for the sake of a man who vies to represent Mandera East, a small town in the porous border between Somalia and Kenya, in the elite-dominated Kenyan parliament.
Abdi, who moved to the U.S in 1995, resembles the United Nations in many ways.
He grew up in the Somali-inhabited Northeastern region (NFD) in Kenya.Hes fluently multilingual in English, Swahili and Somali. Hes a dual U.S and Kenyan citizen, who can probably easily obtain a Somali citizenship...
He was also indoctrinated to be a Traveler, Marxist/Communist.
Quite obviously those pulling his strings have studied Nazi tactics and are applying them to the Citizens of the USA.
So no matter how you cut the cloth, there is no straight line because his handlers are using 'pinking shears'.
At the very start of the campaign, I found the Odinga connection the most troubling. I really thought that would come out and he would be a joke end up back being a community organizer for life.
However, the MSM hid it, didn’t want to discuss it. I always felt without a doubt it was a violation of the Logan Act. His campaign went in full damage control mode and the media dropped it. Had they hammered this, he would not be in there today.
That is the reason a the President needs to be natural born. He needs to have no divided loyalties and all one has to do it read Odumass’s own books to see where his loyalties really lie. He doesn’t love this country, in fact he despises it. His only goal is to take it down and remold it, steal it’s natural resources and remain boy king forever.
