Obama, the African Colonial

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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?
- 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?
- 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.

In April of 1927 Davis began his journalism career as an editor and columnist with the Chicago Evening Bulletin. He married Thelma Boyd in Atlanta on July 12, 1931, and moved back to Chicago in 1934.
In 1945, Frank Marshall Davis taught one of the first jazz history courses in the United States at the Abraham Lincoln School in Chicago. He married Chicago socialite Helen Canfield on May 11, 1946 before moving to Hawaii.
The Abraham Lincoln School for Social Sciences was a Chicago institution of the 1930s and 1940s, run by the Communist Party USA, located at 180 West Washington Street.

Bernard Weissbourd, SB’41, JD’48, a researcher, attorney, and developer, died November 2, in Evanston, IL. He was 78. Weissbourd studied chemistry as an undergraduate, then interrupted his law training at Chicago to enlist in the Army during World War II. He was soon recruited for the Manhattan Project, inventing equipment to detect elements. He then returned to the Law School; after ten years in a Chicago law practice, Weissbourd was asked to take over a development company for which he had served as counsel. Under his leadership, Metropolitan Structures became the nation’s largest commercial real-estate firm. He is survived by his wife, Bernice Targ Weissbourd, X’45; a daughter, Ruth Weissbourd Grant, AB’71, AM’75, PhD’84; two sons, including Robert M. Weissbourd, JD’79; and 11 grandchildren.

Black Panther Convicted of Trying to Kill 6 Officers Released From PrisonNov. 26, 2014
HARLEM A Black Panther who spent the last 30 years behind bars for his role in the deadly Brinks armored car robbery and for trying to kill six police officers during a Queens shootout was welcomed out of prison by family and friends at the National Black Theater Tuesday evening.
Sekou Odinga, 70, also known as Nathaniel Burns, a leading member of the Black Panther Party and the Black Liberation Army during the late 1960s, was paroled Tuesday from Clinton Correctional Facility, a maximum security prison in upstate New York.
Police arrested Odinga for attempted murder in 1981 after a shootout in Queens with six officers, which investigators believe was related to the robbery of the armored Brinks car. The Oct. 20, 1981 heist at the Nanuet Mall left two police officers and a security guard dead.
Odinga was carrying a license plate that had been linked to the Brinks robbery and police officers found a bullet from the gun of one of the officers killed that day, according to media reports at the time.
Odinga was also accused of springing fellow BLA member Assata Shakur, who was convicted of killing a New Jersey state trooper, from a New Jersey prison. He was convicted of both crimes in 1984.
For friends who think of Odinga as a freedom fighter, Tuesday was a moment of celebration.
Its an emotional day for us, said Yaseem Sutton, 64, a Black Panther who frequently visited Odinga in prison. I think you can compare it to Nelson Mandela being released. But for law enforcement officials, Odingas release was a bitter pill to swallow.
Society says he has paid his dues, but this reminds me of letting al-Qaida members out of jail and they immediately join ISIS, said Kenneth Maxwell, former FBI case agent on the Brinks robbery case.
Nathaniel Burns was a Black Panther, and also the late brother-in-law of Bernardine Dohrn was named W. Haywood Burns, a lawyer that defended the Black Panthers, coincidence?

It has also been established that Mama Sarah Obama is not the biological mother of Zeituni as has been perceived previously, but was just a foster mother. She could have been born by one of dozens of wives of the late Hussein Onyango Obama, who is on record of having married 13 wives with the Habiba Akmu the mother of Barrack Hussein Obama Snr being the first. But he had divorced most of them.

As believers we have the assurance that Auntie Zeituni found peace and ultimate healing in the arms of her God. The late Zeituni, also known as Polly Mboya, was blessed with four children in her marriage to my cousin Ebel Mboya Okoko who is still alive not dead as has been reported!

...given the gravity of the facts and documents in support of the fact that Obama, Jr. is not US Constitutionally qualified to hold neither the Office of the United States Senator from Illinois nor the Office of the President of the United States as it is clear that he relinquished his US Citizenship, if any, by becoming a citizen of Indonesia and traveling on an Indonesian Passport from age 6-age 18, and after the age of 18.

Back in March 2008, the State Department launched an investigation of improper computer access to the passport records of Barack Hussein Obama, and days later those of Hillary Clinton and John McCain.
The investigation centered on one employee: a contract worker for a company that was headed by John O. Brennan, a key Obama campaign adviser who later became assistant to the president and deputy national security adviser for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism.
Then, a month later, the key witness in this case was murdered. Leiutenant (sic) Quarles Harris, Jr., 24, was shot in the head in his car, in front of his church.
(His given name was Leiutenant, he wasnt a Lt. of any organization.)
During the 2008 presidential election,
ran a number of stories at my website, AtlasShrugs.com, on the breach of Obamas passport. Fast-forward to four years later, and there is no new information.
Why is this murder4 case not being pursued? Who at the State Department is covering up Obamas passport breach? Mr. Lt. Harris told federal investigators before he was murdered that he received passport information from a co-conspirator who works for the U.S. Department of State.
What became of the co-conspirator? Why wasnt he/she brought to trial?

Clearly, there was something to hide (or destroy) within Barrys passport files.

Had there been any follow-up action, it would have become clear that Stanley Ann Dunham wasn't the mother of zero, she didn't set foot in Hawaii until 1963, when she had a Social Security name change to Ann Dunham Obama and showed up with a toddler. She didn't race to Hawaii after each of her children's birth - Stanley Ann Dunham only had one child, a daughter born in Indonesia...

Her passport records were scrubbed because the child known as Barack Hussein Obama was not on her passport.

Her passport records were scrubbed because the child known as Barack Hussein Obama was not on her passport.”
The passport application that —is—available shows “Barack Hussein Obama (Soebarkah)” in the “Add name (Remove name) of child” field, then the entire thing is lined out.
This was for a renewal of a passport that was —still good— it was issued in 1965 & good till 1970.
This shows that in 1968 the renewal was for the reason that she was adding “BHO” and removing “Soebarkah”, then for some reason, lined the whole thing out.
Was it because she couldn’t —legally— prove the kid was hers, because no Certificate of Birth to US Citizen Abroad could be found?
She was too young to convey citizenship.
The app is dated Aug 1968 (form issued Jul 1964).
Reason for her indefinite stay abroad was “married to an Indonesian citizen”.
Did she get an Indonesia passport for 0, due to her marriage to Lolo, and 0 used that to travel?
That would’ve worked when she was married to Lolo, but what about —before— then?
Was 0 really adopted by Lolo —in Indonesia— —before— Lolo married SADO?
And had an Indonesia passport all along?
See 3rd & 4th pages in scrollable documents here:
http://www.obamaconspiracy.org/2010/07/strunk-foia-results-for-obamas-mother/
If 0 —wasn’t— on her passport- at a time when minor children travelled on adults passports- the question then is, on whose passport —did— he travel ? Indonesia?
He would’ve been 7 years old; children that young didn’t travel by themselves; they had to be escorted/sit with the stewardess and be met at the airport by someone.
So who met him & brought him?
Even if he may have had an Indonesia passport.

In what way could Stanley Ann Dunham’s passport verify zero’s maternity?
Perhaps her passport application records might have shown WHEN she first took a child OUT of the United States, NOT when she brought a child INTO the country?
She did have someone named Barack Hussein Obama Soebarkah REMOVED from her passport. Her initial passport may have named him Soebarkah BEFORE she took him to Indonesia.
IF she did. There’s no verification on anything that they actually travelled together. On his arrival in Hawaii in 1969/1970 he apparently arrived on his own, unidentified, and was held in charge of the immigration authorities.
