Obama, the African Colonial

American Thinker ^ | June 25, 2009 | L.E. Ikenga

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.

Like many educated intellectuals in postcolonial Africa, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was enraged at the transformation of his native land by its colonial conqueror. But instead of embracing the traditional values of his own tribal cultural past, he embraced an imported Western ideology, Marxism. I call such frustrated and angry modern Africans who embrace various foreign "isms", instead of looking homeward for repair of societies that are broken, African Colonials. They are Africans who serve foreign ideas.

The tropes of America's racial history as a way of understanding all things black are useless in understanding the man who got his dreams from his father, a Kenyan exemplar of the African Colonial.

Before I continue, I need to say this: I am a first generation born West African-American woman whose parents emigrated to the U.S. in the 1970's from the country now called Nigeria. I travel to Nigeria frequently. I see myself as both a proud American and as a proud Igbo (the tribe that we come from -- also sometimes spelled Ibo). Politically, I have always been conservative (though it took this past election for me to commit to this once and for all!); my conservative values come from my Igbo heritage and my place of birth. Of course, none of this qualifies me to say what I am about to -- but at the same time it does.

My friends, despite what CNN and the rest are telling you, Barack Obama is nothing more than an old school African Colonial who is on his way to turning this country into one of the developing nations that you learn about on the National Geographic Channel. Many conservative (East, West, South, North) African-Americans like myself -- those of us who know our history -- have seen this movie before. Here are two main reasons why many Americans allowed Obama to slip through the cracks despite all of his glaring inconsistencies:

First, Obama has been living on American soil for most of his adult life. Therefore, he has been able to masquerade as one who understands and believes in American democratic ideals. But he does not. Barack Obama is intrinsically undemocratic and as his presidency plays out, this will become more obvious. Second, and most importantly, too many Americans know very little about Africa. The one-size-fits-all understanding that many Americans (both black and white) continue to have of Africa might end up bringing dire consequences for this country.

Contrary to the way it continues to be portrayed in mainstream Western culture, Africa is not a continent that can be solely defined by AIDS, ethnic rivalries, poverty and safaris. Africa, like any other continent, has an immense history defined by much diversity and complexity. Africa's long-standing relationship with Europe speaks especially to some of these complexities -- particularly the relationship that has existed between the two continents over the past two centuries. Europe's complete colonization of Africa during the nineteenth century, also known as the Scramble for Africa, produced many unfortunate consequences, the African colonial being one of them.

The African colonial (AC) is a person who by means of their birth or lineage has a direct connection with Africa. However, unlike Africans like me, their worldviews have been largely shaped not by the indigenous beliefs of a specific African tribe but by the ideals of the European imperialism that overwhelmed and dominated Africa during the colonial period. AC's have no real regard for their specific African traditions or histories.  AC's use aspects of their African culture as one would use pieces of costume jewelry: things of little or no value that can be thoughtlessly discarded when they become a negative distraction, or used on a whim to decorate oneself in order to seem exotic. (Hint: Obama's Muslim heritage).

On the other hand, AC's strive to be the best at the culture that they inherited from Europe. Throughout the West, they are tops in their professions as lawyers, doctors, engineers, Ivy League professors and business moguls; this is all well and good. It's when they decide to engage us as politicians that things become messy and convoluted.

The African colonial politician (ACP) feigns repulsion towards the hegemonic paradigms of Western civilization. But at the same time, he is completely enamored of the trappings of its aristocracy or elite culture. The ACP blames and caricatures whitey to no end for all that has gone wrong in the world. He convinces the masses that various forms of African socialism are the best way for redressing the problems that European colonialism motivated in Africa. However, as opposed to really being a hard-core African Leftist who actually believes in something, the ACP uses socialist themes as a way to disguise his true ambitions: a complete power grab whereby the "will of the people" becomes completely irrelevant.

Barack Obama is all of the above. The only difference is that he is here playing (colonial) African politics as usual.  

In his 1995 memoir, Dreams From My Father -- an eloquent piece of political propaganda -- Obama styles himself as a misunderstood intellectual who is deeply affected by the sufferings of black people, especially in America and Africa. In the book, Obama clearly sees himself as an African, not as a black American. And to prove this, he goes on a quest to understand his Kenyan roots. He is extremely thoughtful of his deceased father's legacy; this provides the main clue for understanding Barack Obama.

Barack Obama Sr. was an African colonial to the core; in his case, the apple did not fall far from the tree. All of the telltale signs of Obama's African colonialist attitudes are on full display in the book -- from his feigned antipathy towards Europeans to his view of African tribal associations as distracting elements that get in the way of "progress".  (On p. 308 of Dreams From My Father, Obama says that African tribes should be viewed as an "ancient loyalties".)

Like imperialists of Old World Europe, the ACP sees their constituents not as free thinking individuals who best know how to go about achieving and creating their own means for success. Instead, the ACP sees his constituents as a flock of ignorant sheep that need to be led -- oftentimes to their own slaughter.

Like the European imperialist who spawned him, the ACP is a destroyer of all forms of democracy.

Here are a few examples of what the British did in order to create (in 1914) what is now called Nigeria and what Obama is doing to you: 

1. Convince the people that "clinging" to any aspect of their cultural (tribal) identity or history is bad and regresses the process of "unity". British Imperialists deeply feared people who were loyal to anything other than the state. "Tribalism" made the imperialists have to work harder to get people to just fall in line. Imperialists pitted tribes against each other in order to create chaos that they then blamed on ethnic rivalry. Today many "educated" Nigerians, having believed that their traditions were irrelevant, remain completely ignorant of their ancestry and the history of their own tribes.
2. Confiscate the wealth and resources of the area that you govern by any means necessary in order to redistribute wealth. The British used this tactic to present themselves as empathetic and benevolent leaders who wanted everyone to have a "fair shake". Imperialists are not interested in equality for all. They are interested in controlling all.  
3. Convince the masses that your upper-crust university education naturally puts you on an intellectual plane from which to understand everything even when you understand nothing. Imperialists were able to convince the people that their elite university educations allowed them to understand what Africa needed. Many of today's Nigerians-having followed that lead-hold all sorts of degrees and certificates-but what good are they if you can't find a job?   
4. Lie to the people and tell them that progress is being made even though things are clearly becoming worse.  One thing that the British forgot to mention to their Nigerian constituents was that one day, the resources that were being used to engineer "progress" (which the British had confiscated from the Africans to begin with!) would eventually run out. After WWII, Western Europe could no longer afford to hold on to their African colonies. So all of the counterfeit countries that the Europeans created were then left high-and-dry to fend for themselves. This was the main reason behind the African independence movements of the1950 and 60's. What will a post-Obama America look like?
5. Use every available media outlet to perpetuate the belief that you and your followers are the enlightened ones-and that those who refuse to support you are just barbaric, uncivilized, ignorant curmudgeons.  This speaks for itself.

America, don't be fooled. The Igbos were once made up of a confederacy of clans that ascribed to various forms of democratic government. They took their eyes off the ball and before they knew it, the British were upon them. Also, understand this: the African colonial who is given too much political power can only become one thing: a despot.

[Fred Nerks]

The postcards, which were written in 1957, 1958 and 1964, offer a fascinating glimpse into the mind of the former controversial figure in the Nation of Islam.

I think that "they" needed a birth record in the US when Zippo decided or was chosen to run for POTUS and the dead babies BC fit the modus operandi so I wouldn't put too much into the Aug 4 day but the year thing, '61, has been a problem for me all along.

[Brown Deer]

There was also that one date of Jan 1959 that we once saw.

I just noticed something peculiar on the marriage cert - why did Lolo sign twice? once after Stanley Ann.

[GregNH]

why did Lolo sign twice?

Almost like the signatures were not made at the same time so he had to sign again in her presence?

[Fred Nerks]

It's more likely that the certificate he had been running with all his life belonged to the son of the Kenyan and Anna Obama, the child born in January 1961, the child Abercrombie remembers. That's the boy Mary babysat when, in her own words, her daughter who was born in July 1959, was eighteen months of age. Little zero was the illegitimate son of a relative of the babysitter, whose family through marriage, were connected to the highest echelons of Lebanese society. Father was a married African-American with children, who made numerous trips to the middle east and Africa...from 1959 onwards. There came a time when the certificate used for the boy's ID became a problem. The father's name would have been BHO, the Kenyan student, but the mother was a fellow foreign student, whose parents objected to her relationship with the Kenyan. Her family were diplomats from Equatorial Guinea. She's the girl you see with the Kenyan in the 'on the dock' photo, no one has EVER identified the young woman, nor placed it into context.

Indications are that she rented a room at the 5 bedroom two bathroom home we know as the birth announcement address, which was the rented residence of both the Dunham and Pratt families in 1961. She's the girl Ayres tells you in 'Dreams' held hands with the Kenyan when he came to dinner...and she was listed in the Polk as 'Ann S Obama, std' which accounts for that address being shown in the birth announcement...which lodgment date coincides with the date the Sunahara death announcement appeared in the Honolulu press on August 8, 1961. Looks like the man who stated he hated every drop of white blood that was in him, had a son with a Caucasian woman. Not exactly a resume enhancer, considering his ambitions.

And the Kenyan, who boasted to his associates at Harvard he visiting his son several times, after being not so politely tipped out of Harvard in 1964, took his little boy home with him.

Now, you might be able to factor in, why Stanley Ann Dunham told Susan Botkin/Blake she was going to BOSTON that very same day she came on her visit...

It all only works if there were two little boys, one about six or seven months older than the other.

[Fred Nerks]

Wild guess. Marriage by proxy?

[GregNH]

Certainly unusual and usually when you sign next to another signature on the same line it is because you needed to verify it.

[Fred Nerks]

Married, by whatever means, March 15, 1965, or March 5, 1964.

Soetoro INS File Challenges Obama Narrative

Soetoro was expected to return to Indonesia in 1964, both to comply with American immigration law and to honor his contract with the Indonesian government. He did not want to go. So he got married. On her 1981 passport application, Ann claims March 5, 1964, as her marriage date. Scott confirms this date in her book, “A Singular Woman”: “[Soetoro] and Ann had married on March 5, 1964, shortly after she divorced Obama.” Very shortly indeed! If Scott were paying attention to dates, she would have noticed that Ann formally divorced Obama on that very same day, March, 5, 1964. According to Soetoro’s INS file, he and Ann would not marry officially until March 15, 1965. The INS also noted that the couple provided “evidence of the legal termination of his spouse’s prior marriage,” as required. These divorce records, however, do not prove Ann’s marriage to Obama.

IMHO the skullduggery starts from the moment Stanley Ann Dunham presented Susan Blake with the fake story she was married to a Kenyan native and it just gets worse, as lies tend to do, as time progresses.

You could do your grey matter serious injury if you read Snopes; those guttersnipes don't exist to provide any enlightenment, they are there to confuse and irritate.

I have no idea who the people are, but the cat can be believed, it's a real cat.

who got the cat?

The Snopes co-founder has since settled down and married a [NSFW] part time porn actress, Snopes.com administrator (spicy!), and sex worker. As in, she has a website devoted to being a whore.

When Mary Toutonghi, who claims she babysat 0bama when he was 7 months old in Seattle, was interviewed in the summer of 2009, she said it was when her daughter was 18 months old and that her daughter had her 50th birthday “this year”. Her daughter, Gabrielle was born on July 6, 1959.

So according to her story, she was babysitting more than a year before the fake BC.

[Fred Nerks]

...she said it was when her daughter was 18 months old and that her daughter had her 50th birthday “this year”. Her daughter, Gabrielle was born on July 6, 1959.

And if you add 18 months to July 1959, you get January 1961. (Which just happens to be the birthdate of the man from Equatorial Guinea, interviewed in 1992 as a 31 year old law student from Equatorial Guinea.)

When pressed by Corsi on the discrepancy, she tried to correct herself and say that the child was seven months old. Corsi stated, (from memory) that brought the date back to January. I can't find that article, and all the early WND articles on the subject now come with a security warning that freezes my computer screen.

If you saved a link, maybe you can access what he wrote?

[Brown Deer]

I could probably think hard about it, and figure out her exact words. ;-)

QUOTING CHARLETTE LE FEVRE, WHO FOUND THE LISTING FOR ANNA OBAMA IN THE SEATTLE DIRECTORY:

Mary Toutonghi who now lives in Soldatna Alaska, (2) recalls Barack as ³a really alert baby, very happy and a good size². She does not remember him ever crying (although she adds she is sure he likely did but does not remember any undue fussing). She recalls as best she can the dates she baby sat Barack as her daughter was 18 months old and was born in July of 1959 and that would have placed the months of baby sitting Barack in January and February of 1962. [Note: 9/3/09: I believe Mary’s daughter was older than what she remembered which would account for the age discrepency].

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2306351/posts?page=11875#11875

there is no age discrepancy. If you add 18 months to the age of her daughter, you get January 1961. Mary didn’t name the mother as Stanley Ann Dunham, neither did she name the child. Mary simply referred to the woman as Anna, just as was listed in the Seattle directories. Charlette Le Fevre named the woman and the child for the article.

[Fred Nerks]

The only age ‘discrepancy’ there is, is the birth dates of the child Mary baby-sat for Anna Obama, and the birthdate claimed by the fake birth records for zero. That’s where Mary gets herself tangled up. She has to try and fit both into the one story.

Wish I could dig up that Corse article. It was a real revelation, pity it’s not accessible.
