FoxNews: Report Accuses Top Officials for Post-Elections Ethnic Violence in Kenya
FoxNews ^ | October 25, 2008 | Travis Kavulla

NAIROBI, Kenya — A government-sponsored commission in Kenya has accused a number of top-level officials of inciting and funding ethnic violence in the country that left thousands dead and hundreds of thousands displaced following disputed elections late last year.

The report, which was embargoed by a separate government commission, was leaked to FOXNews.com. It makes allegations against 219 persons, including many government ministers.

Their names are included in the "Schedule of Alleged Perpetrators," a 54-page appendix to the report of the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, or KNCHR, on violence related to the country’s December 2007 elections.

Most of the accused are supporters of the Orange Democratic Movement, or ODM, whose leader, Raila Odinga, nonetheless has supported the establishment of a tribunal to put on trial those politicians responsible for inciting the post-election violence. Odinga, who is not accused, belongs to the Luo tribe.

I seriously feel dirty from reading those posts.

They call for 0bama to end all wars, by threatening violence and eternal damnation if 0bama is not elected?

0bama himself said that “holding hands and singing we shall overcome won’t (cut) it” (paraphrased) when you want real change to come about. Like he and his comrade Ayers believe, revolution is the way to bring about change.

I’d like to think that blog is a joke. Provocative satire, even if not particularly well done.

It keeps me sane to keep that chance of satire at greater than zero. I don’t like thinking people can be that ignorant and delusional all at once. LOL.

You see, I can’t even tell. I’ve spent so many weeks & months reading & watching Ayers/Wright/Odinga/Pfleger/Farrakhan/BHO himself/the WU tapes and all their communist supporters & friends it all looks the same anymore.

Interesting.

[Wikipedia]: The Pan-African flag, also referred to as the UNIA flag, Afro-American flag or Black Liberation Flag, is a tri-color flag consisting of three equal horizontal bands colored red, black and green. It was originally created as the official banner of the African Race by the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA). The organization formally adopted it in article 39 of the Declaration of Rights of the Negro Peoples of the World [1] on August 13, 1920, during its month-long convention held in Madison Square Garden, New York City, United States.[2][3]

From that site:

Says a lot more about the site & poster than all the verbiage posted on it.

Colin Powell already knew and told Obama he would endorse him, but they waited until it was needed...as soon as Joe the plumber hit the scene it was done to stop momentum..it was always gonna happen...no question, just timing it for best effect.

“......But, when Raila Odinga, the man who lost the election folks think he should have won, was looked at, things in the political landscape of Kenya suddenly came into focus as Dick Morris had, apparently, been helping out here and there for awhile now. So when you see things like Orange Democratic Movement (hearkening over the the Orange Revolution in Ukraine), a ‘million person march’ ala Louis Farrakhan’s march and then other million person marches afterwards, and National Rainbow Coalition (Narc) hinting at Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition/PUSH, things did start to fall into place. Dick Morris is a past master at playing on such themes and would avail himself of any indigenous views along similar lines and help to make such things more palatable to the US political palate. Mind you these Kenyan versions have zero connection to the things they try to lead one to, but that isn’t a worry if you are pushing talking points and not substance.


...In June, Raila flew to the US, where he held talks with Senator Barack Obama, one of the candidates seeking the Democratic Party ticket to vie for the American presidency...


...Industry sources say that one of the things that helped Raila make a quick buck in the oil business was a concessionary petroleum deal he struck with the Al Bakri Group where he was not only incorporated as a silent partner in the local arm of Al Bakri International...


Abdulkader Al Bakri listed as a defendant in the First Amendment Complaint suit brought by various insurance companies against al Qaeda and associated organizations and individuals. Within that suit is mentioned documents (known as the Golden Chain document) picked up by Bosnian police on a raid on a charitable front organization for al Qaeda in Sarajevo. One of the listed documents is the “Tareekh Osama” (”Osama’s History”) in which Abdulkader al Bakri aka Abdel Qader Bakri gets a prominent listing...


So, when a man like Raila Odinga is linked with Abdulkader al Bakri, you are not making a minor connection, but one directly into al Qaeda...”

I don’t know if all the doom and gloom posts are good for conservative messageboards

We recognize it for what it is: more demoralization tactics of the left-wingers to keep us home.

May God Almighty cause their efforts to have exactly the OPPOSITE effect.

Justice requires equality and fairness and those who have the means will now be fair and will contribute to equality.

Do that mean what I think it do?

Then if it is on the tape, that would lend some credibility? of their post containing the Powell revelation.
