OBAMA'S KENYAN PAL TARGET OF TELL-ALL BOOK
World Net Daily ^ | 22 February 2012 | (Uncredited)

Posted on 02/22/2012 8:43:43 PM PST by Fractal Trader

Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga – who Barack Obama helped place in office in a power-sharing agreement to stop deadly rioting by Odinga’s followers – is now the target of a devastating book by a former top adviser that threatens his prospect for re-election.

Miguna Miguna has handed over to WND senior staff reporter Jerome R. Corsi an 800-page manuscript of the book, which was scheduled to be published in Kenya this year.

Miguna, however, was informed by his publisher that publication in Kenya had to be delayed until 2013, after the presidential and parliamentary elections at the end of the year.

The delay appears to be politically motivated government censorship, said Corsi, who was deported by the Kenyan government in 2008 during an investigative reporting trip.

“Odinga knows his chances of being elected president are dramatically reduced if Miguna’s book is published before this year’s presidential election in Kenya,” Corsi said. “Miguna presents a convincing portrait of Odinga as a ‘political conman’ whose term as prime minister has been riddled by family favoritism, massive corruption, sexual abuses, and public policy incompetence.”

Miguna told Corsi that the book’s publication “will completely change Odinga’s political fortunes and ultimately, the political panorama in Kenya.”

Satin Doll stated that 0bama sent Odinga a million dollars and you asked for a link.

FWIW 66 million Kenyan Shillings = $709,677 dollars.

In a Aug, 27, 2007, agreement with Sheik Abdullahi Abdi, the chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum, Odinga promised that within six months of becoming president, he would “rewrite the Constitution of Kenya to recognize Shariah as the only true law sanctioned by the Holy Quran for Muslim declared religions.”

This is what I was looking for a link to a source for...

In January, 2007, the woman who had aided Stanley Ann Dunham Obama and her newborn son to leave Nairobi, Kenya, on a BOAC flight to Vancouver, B.C., Canada, was in a U.S.State Department station wagon on a road just outside of Nairobi, when it was stopped and she and her middle-aged daughter were forced out of the vehicle and shot to death by the side of the road in front of both women’s husbands.

Really? you wrote, "Got a link to a source for that?"

FWIW 66 million Kenyan Shillings = $709,677 dollars.

Actually, back then it was about $950,000.

Obviously not, since I was pinged to this thread. So what's your excuse?

Mr. Odinga and Mr. Obama’s father were both from the Luo community, the second-largest tribe in Kenya, but their ties run much deeper. Mr. Odinga told a stunned BBC Radio interviewer the reason why he and Mr. Obama were staying in near daily telephone contact was because they were cousins. In a Jan. 8, 2008, interview, Mr. Odinga said Mr. Obama had called him twice the day before while campaigning in the New Hampshire primary before adding, “Barack Obama’s father is my maternal uncle.”

I did a search on January 2007 nariobi shot, etc. and came up with two Missionaries that were killed during a car hijack. The one gal, “Mama” Lois Anderson had been in Kenya for years (she was 70+ when she was killed).

However, she was in Uganda in 1959-1962 as per the article I found. So probably outside the timeframe of when BO might have been there. Did not find anything about her assisting in the airplane ride, etc.:

********************************

« Everybody loved them — Lois particularly because she had such an outgoing personality, overflowing with joy, » said the Rev. Donald Dawson, director of both the New Wilmington conference and the World Mission Initiative at the Pittsburgh seminary.

They are a storied missionary family. Mr. Anderson was born in Egypt to missionary parents. He and his four siblings all became missionaries and many of their children and grandchildren have done likewise, Mr. Dawson added....

They were in Southern Sudan from 1952 to 1959, when foreign missionaries were expelled. They worked in Uganda from 1959 to 1962 and Kenya from 1962 to 1973. Then, in what they called « a miracle, » a new government of Sudan allowed them to return.

You’re welcome. I wouldn’t put it past Obama to call in a favor, and wouldn’t put it past Odinga to go as far as killing someone (instead of shredding papers, etc.).

However, without further evidence, it sounds like the two missionary women fit the description of the killing to a “T” (their husbands watched, the killers were later found and shot by the police, etc.) - but perhaps just conjecture beyond that without any other hard evidence.

It really is amazing though that the Obama and Odinga connection only got play here on FR. And even then IIRC those threads were treated with a bit of skeptism. It is amazing how far the media is in the tank for Obama.

Another reason why resorting to getting rid of witnesses is a weak theory. Nobody in the press is going to report about them anyway.

One thing that rarely gets mentioned is that 0bama broke Federal law when he campaigned for Odinga while he was a sitting U.S. Senator. I don’t know if it was a felony but no one in Congress ever called him on it.
