Horror of Kenya's 'witch' burnings (Obama's real homeland)

Villagers, many straight from their farms, and armed with machetes, sticks and axes, are shouting and crowding round in a big group in Kenya's fertile Kisii district.
I can't see clearly what is going on, but heavy smoke is rising from the ground and a horrible stench fills the air.
More people are streaming up the hill, some of them with firewood and maize stalks.
Suddenly an old woman breaks from the crowd, screaming for mercy. Three or four people go after her, beat her and drag her back, pushing her onto - what I can now see - is a raging fire.
Burned alive I was witnessing a horrific practice which appears to be on the increase in Kenya - the lynching of people accused of being witches. I personally saw the burning alive of five elderly men and women in Itii village.
I had been visiting relatives in a nearby town, when I heard what was happening. I dashed to the scene, accompanied by a village elder.
He reacted as if what we were watching was quite normal, which was shocking for me.
As a stranger I felt I had no choice but to stand by and watch. My fear was that if I showed any sign of disapproval, or made any false move, the angry mob could turn on me.
Not one person was protesting or trying to stop the killing.
Hours later, the police came and removed the charred bodies.

Sarah Obama has had many, highly public accusations of being a witch, believe it or not. Google it if you don't.
I'd imagine she'd never be relegated to some crude version of Kenyan Obamacare. Some are more equal than others, you see.
To: Mikey_1962
""Even me I'm now approaching 50 years old - I'm afraid that they'll come for me also." It's obvious that Obama learned the technique of medical care for the aged (or lack thereof) from his homeland: The best way of reducing government health care cost is to deny it to the elderly.

Do the Kenyan police ever throw the members of these lynch mobs in jail for life for murder or accessory to murder? That would bring this idiotic practice to an end.

Superstitious mambo jumbo.
You obviously can get certain people worked up enough to believe anything.
Just look at the Democrats and the way they believe every lie told to them by the leaders of their party and the way they can be whipped up enough to vote for people and legislation that will harm them and their families.
Certain people's elevators do not reach their top floor.

There’s a video of this event that is all over the internet. It’s disturbing and one of those things you can’t erase.

I found it.
President Barack Hussein Obama Kenya Birth Certificate by Seller colmado_naranja Here's the Item Description:
This is auction is for a certified copy of President Barack Obama's Kenyan Birth Certificate.
President Barack Hussein Obama II was born in The Coast Provincial General Hospital at Mombasa in
Kenya at 7:24 PM on August 4th 1961.
I've traveled throughout the Caribbean (including Cuba), Ibero America (i.e.,Latin America), and Africa. I have a Bachelors in Sociology, a Bachelors in Social Sciences as well as a Bachelors in Afro-Caribbean Studies. I'm a collector of old Dominican and Cuban money.
I've worked in the Democratic Republic of the Congo as an advisor in the government's Hydrology & Rain Water Management Administration.
This spring I traveled through Kenya and it's capital Nairobi. I was overwhelmed by the "iconicized" face of US President Barack Obama that displays itself throughout the country. I had lunch at a small eatery and noticed that the Club Sandwich with fried Plantains was now known as "Obama's Plate of the Day."
As an American I was bombarded with questions in english (english is the official language of Kenya) on my feelings and opinions of a Kenyan governing the United States of America. The first several times I responded in saying that not enough time had elapsed since Barack Obama's appointment as President of the USA, and that I'd have to hold my official opinion until at least January 2010, a year in office might be sufficient for me to judge his ability to govern the USA.
Natuarally I thought that by "Kenyan" they were referring to Barack Obama's blood, being that his father Barack Obama Sr was a native of Kenya. After a day and a half of my being in Nairobi I learned that they were literally referring to President Barack Obama Jr as being born in Kenya, a native of Kenya. Now I started asking questions, did his father's Kenyan blood somehow entitle Barack Jr to the equivalent of a native Kenyan? No, not all, I was to find out. They were referring to Barack Obama Jr's physical birth on Kenyan soil.
Kenyans were amused at how gullible Americans could be when it came to obvious things like the fact that Kenyans overtly admit to Barack Jr's Kenyan birth, yet the Americans continue to believe that they know better.
I delved further and found that a birth certificate was on file at The Coast Provincial General Hospital at Mombasa.
I know several American expats that reside in Kenya. I asked the three that I could reach if they were aware of President Barack Obama's Kenyan birth. All three said that they were most obviously aware of his Kenyan birth. I was shocked. They went to further say that they weren't much concerned with it, after all they'd left the US to start a new life abroad and didn't have much interest in what was taking place in the States. Besides, they said, who would believe them anyway?
Along with my Congolese brother Andylenny (brother in heart, not blood) and a 1993 BMW with only one working door I was off to Mombasa to get myself a copy (certified I hoped) of Barack Jr's birth certificate.
AND THAT BIRTH CERTIFICATE IS WHAT YOU ARE BIDDING ON HERE IN THIS EBAY AUCTION, CERTIFIED BIRTH CERTIFICATE.
I am not posting any photos of the birth certificate here on Ebay. I have not seen this birth certificate anywhere on the internet, to post it here on Ebay would lead to a flood of facsimiles on the internet. This would inadvertently decrease the value of the certificate as well.
In further support of I offer the facts below:
A. Barack Obama (or anyone) has never released a copy of his "Hawaiian" birth certificate. No one has ever seen it. Only a copy of his Hawaiian "Registry of Birth" or Registration of Birth" has been released to the public. Hey, I have a registry of birth as well (along with my birth certificate). It's funny how a registry of birth is not valid as a form of identification. It can't be used to verify age or identity. Just try to use yours (yes, you have a registry of birth as well) at the DOT or DMV or even at the Social Security Administration if you ever lose your SS card and need a replacement. NO ONE WILL ACCEPT A REGISTRY OF BIRTH. Yet the President uses his to verify to all of America that he was born in the United States? And hey, you might say, "What's the deal you conspiracy freak! You're just looking for any reason discredit Barack Obama." Well then, if it's not a big deal at all, then why can't anyone produce Barack's birth certificate?
B. The Barack Obama Administration, in an attempt to put the birth certificate issue to a rest, has presented the American public with a FAKE, FORGED, FRAUDULENT Hawaiian Birth Certificate in response to a growing number of the American public that have been demanding proof that Barack was born in the US. Hey, what? You say you don't believe me? Just google it! Jay McKinnon, a Department of Homeland Security-trained document specialist, has implicated himself in the production of fake Barack Obama Hawaiian birth certificate. JUST GOOGLE IT!
Message me with any questions that you might have regarding this auction for President Barack Hussein Obama Jr's Kenyan Birth Certificate (certified Birth Certificate). I reserve the right to not answer specific questions who's answers would no doubt be wallpapered across the internet by breakfast time. I will however reply to all questions. My replies may contain specific answers, and they may not. This will be at my discretion.
If the need arises I may be contacted via telephone. Contact me via Ebay message if you believe that your question or questions merit a phone call.
International bidders are welcome.
Domestic shipping is free, international will be a flat fee of $75.00. All shipping will be insured, and overnight via USPS, UPS, or FEDEX. You pick.
HAPPY BIDDING !!!
It's a real listing on e-Bay.

They should be executed. A poor country like Kenya certainly can’t afford to be wasting money imprisoning vicious murderers.
To: Drew68
I have seen this video, too. One guy tries to climb out of the fire, and a another guy calmly talks to him urging not to fight what is happening to him, just accept it and get back in the fire. Its not in English, but you know what they are saying.
Coming soon to a neighborhood near you. Get to Walmart today and buy some ammo, if you can find any.

It was disturbing how little they resisted. And the fire wasn't raging, it was only smoldering. The "witches" just calmly sat in it and slowly burned until they fell over.
