Soros's Role in Kenya Chaos
GlennBeck.com ^ | November 11, 2010 | Richard Poe

Posted on 11/11/2010 3:54:20 PM PST by Alexander Nevsky

In a series of investigative reports this week, Glenn Beck has been analyzing the five-point strategy by which George Soros and his Open Society Institute have destabilized and overturned governments in several countries, including Yugoslovia in 2000, Georgia in 2003 and Ukraine, in the so-called “Orange Revolution” of 2004. Compelling evidence indicates that Soros may have employed a similar strategy in Kenya, but with far more gruesome results.

Following Kenya’s disputed elections of December 2007, activists funded by Soros’ Open Society Institute demanded that the election be overturned. The country erupted into violence, leaving more than 1,100 people dead and some 350,000 homeless. Thousands were injured, tortured, mutilated and raped.

In his five-point regime-change strategy, Soros, 1) infiltrates countries with his operatives, under the cover of humanitarian aid; 2) takes control of the air waves by creating “independent media” under his own control; 3) destabilizes the targeted country with financial manipulations and political agitation, 4) waits for an election, then disrupts it with charges of voter fraud, then; 5) takes the streets with armies of activist youth whom Soros has recruited, trained and funded, all demanding that the incumbent step down. The formula often works. In theory, it is supposed to produce a “bloodless” coup, in which few people are killed or harmed. Things went tragically wrong in Kenya, however.

Soros began operations in Kenya in 2004. On June 1, 2005, he officially launched the Open Society Initiative for East Africa (OSIEA), with headquarters in Nairobi, and a budget of $1.1 million. An overriding goal of the new East African initiative was “to promote public participation in democratic governance” and to “promote conditions for a free, fair, and nonviolent general election in Kenya in 2007,” according to official announcements.

If indeed Soros wished to ensure a “free, fair and nonviolent” election for Kenya in 2007, he chose a curious way of going about it. His Kenyan activists followed the familiar five steps. As in previous operations, Soros began by mobilizing youth groups for political action and established what he called “independent media.”

His Youth Wake Up! campaign lured thousands of young people to all-day music events, which doubled as recruiting venues. Through the Youth Wake Up! program, Kenyan youth were instructed in “nonviolent political activism.” At the same time, Soros funded a youth radio station called Koch FM in Korogocho, “one of Nairobi’s largest and most violent slums,” as it was described in OSI’s 2005 annual report. Koch FM intermingled music broadcasts with coaching on techniques of “political participation.” The station’s signal was expected to reach over a million Nairobi slumdwellers. As it happened, Nairobi slums, including Korogocho, became epicenters of post-election violence in December 2007, as protesters battled riot police in the streets.

The election of December 27, 2007 pitted challenger Raila Odinga against sitting president Mwai Kibaki. Odinga led the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), which was reportedly named after Victor Yushchenko’s “Orange Revolution” in the Ukraine. The name is significant, since Yushchenko seized power through mass street demonstrations, after alleging voter fraud. Was Odinga planning a similar move?

In the December 2007 election, voting irregularities were reported on both sides. Kibaki claimed a narrow victory in a questionable vote count, and Odinga contested the results. Also contesting Kibaki’s victory was a coalition of Kenyan activist groups which would soon become known as Kenyans for Peace, Truth and Justice (KPTJ). KPTJ activist Shailja Patel later wrote, “Behind the scenes of KPTJ was civil society powerhouse, the Soros-funded Open Society Institute for East Africa.” Patel writes:

“Within hours, they [KPTJ] had released a statement which denounced the credibility of the electoral process… and appealed to the international community not to recognize Kibaki as president. … The [KPTJ] direct action team would meet daily, defying the government ban on public assembly, providing a public forum for Kenyans across all sectors and ethnicities to channel their outrage into activism.”
Unfortunately, many Kenyans chose to “channel their outrage” into horrific acts of violence. Documents filed by the International Criminal Court (ICC) note that, “the attacks against the civilian population in Kenya were both widespread and systematic,” and were allegedly conducted “by members of organised groups associated with the main political parties” including Kibaki’s PNU party and Odinga’s ODM party. ICC documents state that, “Political leaders … allegedly recruited gangs of youths and transported them to strategic points to unleash terror, killing and destroying property belonging to [ethnic] communities aligned to the rival party.” In a two-month period, an estimated 1,133 people were killed, and 3,561 injured. Hundreds of women were raped, and hundreds of people tortured. About 350,000 were driven from their homes.

The Soros-funded KPTJ denies any responsibility for the violence. Still, the violence helped their cause. The election was overturned. International arbitrators negotiated a peace deal, in which Odinga now shares power with Kibaki. Once more, a team of Soros-funded activists managed to stop an election in its tracks. Once more, Soros altered a country’s destiny. But this time, the price was high. Whether intentionally or not, Soros’ Kenya operation cost many lives.

Last month, Soros donated $1 million to a leftwing activist group called Media Matters for America. The money is to be used to muzzle Fox News, and, in particular, to silence talk show host Glenn Beck. Soros says that he donated the money because “the incendiary rhetoric of Fox News may incite violence.” Given what happened in Kenya, it is difficult to take Soros’ moralizing at face value.

“The HDP won’t tell us who made the decision to delete that line or why, but yeah, he’s the guy who signed the thing that way. He was just elected to be the lieutenant governor under Neil Abercrombie. Schatz was the Hawaii campaign manager for Obama and attended Punahou as well.”

Talk about conflict of interest and a “firewall” against discovery of the 1961 vital records!

This screams desperation. Hopefully, that desperation is justified and the firewall will be breached by a GOP House committee investigation.

It appears that Obama will not be much use to the Globalists going forward. If they have decided to get rid of Obama because he is collapsing US defenses in Asia and the economy that sustains that defense, perhaps they are spreading enough money around the Kenyan elite to get them to “authorize” a Kenyan BC. Under FRE, only Kenyan authorities can do that.

Then they could muscle Obama into a resignation without having to reveal the Kenyan BC.

I believe that both Obama’s new Chief of staff and the National Security Adviser, Donilon, have close ties to Biden so the groundwork is already laid for Biden to step in.

See:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_E._Donilon

"He is married to Cathy Russell, who has been named Chief of Staff to Jill Biden, and he is the brother of Mike Donilon, a lawyer and political consultant who has been chosen to serve as Counselor to Vice-President Joe Biden."

I'd like to see someone dig in, investigate and prove that he and probably the Arabs were behind the incredibly timed downturn in our economy, the one that happened with too perfect timing allowing Obama to float into office on it's coattails. If not for that perfectly timed economic crisis Obama would have lost.

Lugar is in Kenya supposedly investigating security of potential bio-weapons labs.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2624651/posts

Lugar is “close” to Obama dating back to their non-proliferation trip to Russia when Obama was a newbie Senator to help bolster Obama’s national security credentials.

What if the Senators came to a belated awareness that Obama may have lied to them about his birth location?

Might they appoint a senior Senator held in esteem by both parties, such as Lugar, to go to Kenya to investigate and perhaps obtain authentication of a document by Kenyan authorities...maybe the CPGH BC image...authentication up to the the level needed to be entered as evidence in US courts?

Obama part of group locked up at Russian airport // U.S. delegation stripped of passports as guards demand to inspect plane
Chicago Sun-Times (IL) - Monday, August 29, 2005
Author: Lynn Sweet, Sun-Times Washington Bureau chi

WASHINGTON — Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) were not allowed to leave a Russian airport Sunday and were locked in a room briefly.

The incident prevented their departure for about three hours, but Obama told the Sun-Times “it ended up not being a very big deal.”

The senators had their passports seized by local officials at an airport in Perm. Obama said the officials demanded, unsuccessfully, to inspect the DC-9 military aircraft being used by the congressional delegation for the trip.

(snip)

Although he was on a first-time diplomatic mission, Obama has traveled extensively, spending part of his youth in Indonesia and visiting Kenya, where his father was born. He noted that as a back- packing college student he had “a lot less leverage than this time.”

Obama , a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, and Lugar, its chairman, left Wednesday for a trip to inspect sites where nuclear and biological weapons are slated to be destroyed in Russia, Ukraine and Azerbaijan. On Sunday, the U.S. group was scheduled to fly from Perm to Kiev, Ukraine. But border guards wanted proof that the group’s aircraft — which Obama said looked like a “mini-Air Force One” — was really an official U.S. government plane, which would be exempt from an inspection.

Robert Gibbs, Obama ‘s spokesman traveling with him, said in an e-mail that “the border guards took our passports and demanded to inspect our aircraft, which we refused. We were moved to a room to wait.”

“At one point they were demanding to inspect virtually everything, including the gifts their representatives at the missile facility had given us.” The border guard said “they were acting on the authority of the FSB,” the Russian intelligence agency.

“On Sudan, Kerry said he was asked to deliver a delicate White House message because of his role because Congress is the body that can remove sanctions from Sudan, and also because of his relationship with key players there.”

Sure...Kerry is is buddy-buddy with the Islamists in Sudan?

Sudan's oil has mostly been bought up by the Chinese and have no incentive to deal with Kerry and Obama. The Chinese have been protecting Sudan at the UN as well.

Sudan is contiguous to Kenya...so a covert side trip to Kenya would have been possible.

” Also, Obama was said to have provided Odinga will a million dollars from his campaign funds, which was enough to help pay for the thugs who went around burning down churches and chopping women and children with machetes. I wonder if it wasn’t Soros who gave him that money? “

Very likely.

Unfortunately Glenn Book kind of "white washed" Soros being only 14 years of age (PC?), when selling off/out his fellow Jewish citizens to the Germans!

Total BS, I was the same age during WWII living five yrs under Nazi occupation!!

There is NO way that would be an excuse for your actions. Your would make a 200% effort to protect your fellow Jewish citizens, which we did. Only a debased person @ 14 yrs old would do such an act. Soros is nothing but the Devil himself (Lucifer) from he was born and still is. Period!!!

Good point. Compare and contrast the acts of Soros as a 14-year-old during The Holocaust with the words of 13-year old Anne Frank:

"Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and goodness. People are just people, and all people have faults and shortcomings, but all of us are born with a basic goodness." — Anne Frank

I'm not as familiar with the CIA possible connection with Obama. Could his lack of background information be a possible result of that?

There he was, as a State Senator, in a muslim country, trying to promote a man who promised to ensure Sharia law if elected.

I went through the entire grueling 9-month CIA recruitment process including security clearance but was not accepted at the last minute before heading to "The Farm" (probably timed out for age (35) and bumped for a younger candidate). I would have been in Plame's class.

I can guarantee you that Obama was never with the CIA. They were “death” on drug use history and past radical associates and relatives. They made it clear that you would absolutely be subjected to initial lie detector testing followed by random subsequent testing.

Ayers and Dorhn, his Columbia buddies, were KGB connected with Dorhn getting training from the KGB-run Cubans. They launched Obama in their home!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernardine_Dohrn

“Dohrn traveled to Cuba via Mexico City on July 4,1969, with a delegation from the SDS and later arrived in Canada on a Cuban Vessel on August 16,1969.”
