Obama, the African Colonial

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

[neverdem]

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.

...I’ve spoken to Klocek many times about the events of September 15, 2004 and I’m firmly convinced that DePaul trashed his academic career to placate a noisy group of students who view themselves, wrongly, as a protected class...

There's not the slightest doubt in my mind this is a true statement. Thanks for the update, I often wondered about the outcome.

Imam Warith Deen Mohammed (see Post #421 for obit)

The third son of Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad died Monday Sept 9, 2008 after heart surgery at the University of Illinois Hospital in Chicago He was 79 and a near lifelong resident of Chicago's South Side near Barack Hussein Obama Jr. in Hyde Park.

The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) joins all Muslim Americans in condoling the demise of Imam Warith Deen Mohammed today. Warith's father, Hon. Elijah Muhammad, was the leader of the Nation of Islam from 1934 to 1975, an organization that preaches a form of Black nationalism. Elijah Muhammad died on February 26, 1975.

After his father's death in 1975, Warith Deen Mohammed was accepted by followers of the Nation of Islam as their leader. With his new understanding, based on his lifelong study of the Qur’an and the life of Prophet Muhammad, he brought about many reforms, which brought the followers of the Nation of Islam closer to mainstream Islam and away from Black nationalism.

During this journey, he renamed his organization a number of times; and finally The Mosque Cares.

Muhammad had a successful business career in areas including real estate, food service and Chicago park concessions. For many years, his close associate [and business partner] was Tony Rezko, the politically connected fixer and early political patron of Barack Obama who was convicted in June of mail and wire fraud, aiding and abetting bribery, and money laundering.

Zaid Shakir

Born in Berkeley, California to a family descended from African, Irish and Native American roots, Imam Shakir spent his formative years in housing projects. These early experiences instilled in him a compassionate and realistic work ethic, as well as an unshakeable desire for social change and economic justice. And, as an American who came of age during the civil rights movement, he brings both sensitivity about African-American and poverty issues and scholarly discipline to his faith-based work.

It was while serving in the Air Force that he accepted Islam in 1977. He remained in the military for four years and received an accommodation medal for his dedicated service. His purposeful goal to work for the common good of all, led him to earn a BA in International Relations from the American University in Washington, DC in 1983. A summa cum laude graduate, Imam Shakir went on to receive his Masters in Political Science from Rutgers University where he was also a student leader.

After a sabbatical year in Cairo, Egypt where he studied the Arabic language, Imam Shakir accepted the position of Professor of Political Science and Middle East Studies at Southern Connecticut State University. In Connecticut, he also served as interfaith council Chaplain at Yale University and developed the Chaplaincy Sensitivity Training for physicians at Yale New Haven Hospital. Additionally, Imam Shakir continued his work as a spiritual and community leader.

For seven years in Syria and briefly in Morocco, the Imam immersed himself in the intense study of Arabic, Islamic law, Quranic studies, and spirituality with some of the top traditional Islamic scholarsof our age. He graduated from Syria’s prestigious Abu Noor University and returned to Connecticut in 2001. Since 2003 Imam Shakir has served as resident scholar and lecturer at the Zaytuna Institute, in Hayward, California.

He has continued his spiritual, academic and community work, speaking and writing extensively on religion, socio-political and race issues. Imam Shakir has been invited to lecture at several prominent universities including Stanford, UCLA, Berkeley, Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Rutgers, and Temple University. He is the author of the groundbreaking books "Heirs of the Prophets" and "Scattered Pictures", and has written for several notable publications including The New Haven Register and the Washington Post.

Zaid Shakir (born Ricky D. Mitchell, 1956) is a prominent American Islamic Scholar and Writer who moved with his family in 2003 to serve as a Professor and Lecturer at Zaytuna Institute in California, United States, where he now teaches regular courses on Arabic, Law, History, and Islamic Spirituality. He is one of the signatories of A Common Word Between Us and You[1], an open letter by Islamic Scholars to Christian Leaders, calling for peace and understanding.

Just another very dangerous african-american convert to islam, bowing to the cult that sold his ancestors into slavery, a useful tool for the arabs.

from your previous comment:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2278969/posts?page=434#434

Shakir is known for having expressed his desire to see the United States eventually become — “not by violent means, but by persuasion” — a Muslim country ruled by Islamic law. “Every Muslim who is honest would say, I would like to see America become a Muslim country,” he said.

In Shakir’s view, Muslims cannot accept the legitimacy of the existing American order, because it “is against the orders and ordainments of Allah.” “[T]he orientation of the Quran,” he explains, “pushes us in the exact opposite direction.”

Shakir also appears to embrace 9/11 conspiracy theories. In October 2007 he described the September 11th attacks as having “occurred under dubious circumstances that have yet to be thoroughly examined.”

According to Shakir, American foreign policy has been hijacked by the military-industrial complex. In May 2009 he admonished the U.S. for its “pattern of demonization, destabilization, and the invasion of hapless Third World nations,” saying that such aggression is always carried out under the guise of national interests. Among those he listed as victims of American “demonization” were Hugo Chavez, Manuel Noriega, Muammar Qadhafi, Saddam Hussein, and Osama bin Laden and the Taliban.

THE TOGETHERNESS OF IMAN SIRAJ WAHHAJ AND IMAN BADAWI

Miss Martyr Camp at the Y By: Joe Kaufman
FrontPageMagazine.com | Friday, August 18, 2006

YMCA stands for Young Men’s Christian Association. That being the case, why would the athletic group allow an anti-Christian young Muslim girl’s organization to use their facilities for a jihad camp?

On the heels of their counterpart Young Muslims brotherhood’s secret camp, the Young Muslims Sisters (YMS) will be holding their own camp, today, August 18th through the 20th, at the most unlikely of places – Port Murray, New Jersey’s YMCA Camp Bernie. While the destination may be different, and the attire might have changed, the speakers at the event will be just as radical.

YMS is a subsidiary of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), a Muslim Brotherhood front that has, in the past, been investigated for possible ties to Al-Qaeda. Young Muslims, for many years, has held children’s camps through ICNA. Prior to the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the events were referred to as “Jihad Camps.”

One of the “Jihad Camps” took place only two weeks before 9/11. Three of the advertised invited speakers for the YMS happen to have been three of the featured speakers at the 9/11 camp. They are:

* Imam Siraj Wahhaj, the Imam of the Masjid At-Taqwa mosque in Brooklyn and a listed potential co-conspirator to the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. About the stoning of women accused of adultery, he stated, “If Allah says stone them to death, through the Prophet Muhammad, then you stone them to death, because it's the obedience of Allah and his messenger -- nothing personal.”

* Sheikh Ibrahim Negm, the Director of ICNA’s Islamic Learning Foundation. In his speech, entitled ‘The Passion of the Youth,’ which is found on the Young Muslims website, he indoctrinated his audience with an ultimatum, by repeating the bigoted statement, “With Islam youth are going to be something, but without Islam they are going to be nothing.”

* Dr. Obeydullah Choudry, the former President of the Muslim Students Association (MSA) at Rutgers University and one of the founders of Young Muslims. He tried to put a good face on the term “jihad” (holy war), when in his review of the book ‘Jihad in Islam,’ he stated, “The disbelievers were fought by the Muslims not for their disbelief but because they showed belligerence or hostility to the Islamic state,” and jihad “may be offensive, with Muslims taking the lead in averting the enemy's conspiracies and impending plots.”

Some of the other YMS invited speakers have expertise in teaching the concept of death to easily influenced young minds. One of them, Br. Nouman Ali Khan, a former MSA representative, gave a February 2005 speech sponsored by the MSA of Hofstra, entitled ‘Preparation for Death.’

Another, Sr. Iman Badawi gave a speech at a June 2003 camp sponsored by the Muslim American Society (MAS) of Minnesota, entitled ‘The Life in the Grave.’ One of her former campers had this to say about her, “…Iman Badawi and her wonderful style of talking about our deen [religion] always made our camps something else.

Sitting outside in the night while listening to one of her talks on death is something to remember…” Badawi, like Ali Khan, is also a former MSA representative. In March of 1997, she was one of two coordinators for the MSA East Zone Conference featuring Ali Al-Tamimi, an individual who received a life sentence for urging his followers, after 9/11, to join the Taliban and attack American troops.

Also, both Imam Siraj Wahhaj and Iman Badawi appeared together at the July ICNA 2008 Conference.

Obama’s Terrorism Against Jews: He Uses His Website to Incite Violence Against the Jews

More filth over at mybarackobama’s website. No matter how many times I expose it, they keep it up, providing a forum for and the cultural acceptance of this incitement to Jewish genocide. Such vile hate would never have been allowed in polite and decent society 15 years ago. We are no longer decent? Hope and change folks, hope and change.

Do you think calls for end of Islam would stand? Racism against blacks? Would that stand?

During the 2008 presidential election, Barack Obama’s website, Organizing for America, hosted a series of vile anti-American, Jew-hating posts and pieces. The onslaught was overwhelming, and it included numerous, heinous calls for Jewish genocide and incitement to hatred. And it is happening again, right now, on the official website of the man who supposedly is the leader of the free world, and who has editorial control over the website.

More on Iman Siraj Wahhaj

CAIR and Wahhaj
October 20, 2009 by Bo Perrin

CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) has claimed to be a moderate Islamic group which had intimate ties with various Congresspeople as well as the FBI. Nevertheless, the Muslim Mafi, released this week, provides irrefutable evidence that CAIR is a terrorist front for the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt. Even if this book had not provided irrefutable evidence the people whom CAIR keeps company is a good indication that they are anything but moderate.

CAIR’s 15th Annual Banquet was October 16th, 2009 and the two key-note speakers were Jesse Jackson and Iman Siraj Wahhaj. Jesse Jackson is simply a fool but Wahhaj is a different story.

Iman Wahhaj was a unindicted person who may be alleged as co-conspirators in the 1993 World Trade bombing and who has intimate ties with the Blind Sheik who was indicted and convicted for the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. In addition, Iman Wahhaj calls for Muslims to rise up and create the Islamic Nation of North America by 2050. Finally, he also prostetizes youngs blacks in prison with firey speechs about fundamental Islam to convert more angry young people to his cause.

CAIR is not moderate and needs to be outlawed as a terrorist front.

“A radical New York imam who was once investigated as a possible co-conspirator in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center will share the stage Saturday night as a featured guest and speaker when the Council on American-Islamic Relations celebrates its 15th anniversary in Washington.

Siraj Wahhaj, imam of the Masjid Al-Taqwa mosque in Brooklyn, N.Y., became the first Muslim to lead the opening prayer in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1991. Four years later, he was a character witness for Omar Abdel-Rahman, the so-called “blind sheik” convicted of conspiring to bomb the World Trade Center in 1993. Although Wahhaj was never charged, then-U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White identified him in 1995 in a list of “unindicted persons who may be alleged as co-conspirators.”

Stephen Schwartz, executive director of the Center for Islamic Pluralism, a Washington-based think tank, calls Wahhaj one of the most prominent and strident African-American Islamic preachers in America.

“He’s a hatemonger, there’s no question about it,” Schwartz said. “He’s the No. 1 advocate of radical Islamic ideology among African-Americans. His stuff is very appealing to young Muslims who are on a radical path.” Schwartz identified Wahhaj — born in New York as Jeffrey Kearse — as a “leading radical Islamist” in “Black America, Prisons and Radical Islam,” a 2008 report by his organization. According to the report, which cited Federal Bureau of Prisons figures, some 175 titles of Wahhaj’s literature were found in prison libraries that year. Schwartz said Wahhaj’s writings seek to radicalize Muslims behind bars, particularly African-Americans. Saturday’s speech, he said, will likely appeal to Muslims who feel they’ve been targeted recently by conservatives.

“He’ll get up and say American Muslims are under attack, that their civil rights are being denied,” Schwartz said. “He’ll say that anybody who questions the community of these Muslim groups, that they’re agents of the Zionists. He’ll say that the criticism of CAIR, and of him, is all racism, the evil work of the Zionists and the media, and he’ll say that American should get out of Afghanistan and any involvement in the Muslim world.”

CAIR’s banquet, “Leading the Change: 15 Years of Service,” will be held Saturday night at the Marriott Crystal Gateway in Arlington, Va., just across the Potomac River from the Pentagon, where 125 people died during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization, said foreign affairs and “lessons learned” from the civil rights movement are potential issues to be covered at the event, which will be closed to the press — although members of the press are welcome to buy a $65 ticket and attend as guests.

“You can buy a ticket,” Hooper said. “Fox is free to come and harass us if you want.”

Asked what Wahhaj and Jackson plan to say in their speeches, Ibraham characterized the inquiries as attempts to make “an ordinary dinner” a reason “to tarnish us or harass us.”

“At some point,” Hooper said, “it becomes a level of harassment when we’re trying to exercise our civil rights as Americans.”

Multiple calls seeking comment from Jackson and Wahhaj, who was said to be traveling this week in advance of the banquet, were not returned.

Wahhaj, a former member of the Nation of Islam who reportedly once called the FBI and CIA the “real terrorists,” denied any involvement in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

“Law enforcement has never come to me and asked me any questions about any of these allegations,” Wahhaj told Foxnews.com last year. “I have never participated in any planning against this nation.”

Steven Emerson, executive director of The Investigative Project on Terrorism, said Wahhaj told a group of Muslims in New Jersey in 1992 that they could take over the country and institute a caliphate if they united.

“Brothers and sisters, if we unite, nobody can stop us,” Wahhaj said, according to material provided by Emerson. “You wouldn’t have to vote for Bush or Clinton … If we were united and strong, we’d elect our own emir and give allegiance to him. …

“Take my word, [if] 6 to 8 million Muslims unite in America, the country will come to us. Strong Muslims, strong and free, firm believers in Allah, I’m telling you, the rest of the world will come to the Muslims.”

Emerson said Wahhaj, whom he described as a “full-fledged” radical, will tone down his rhetoric on such a stage.

“He’ll obviously be careful,” Emerson said. “They know he’s being watched. He’ll talk about how CAIR is under attack, Muslims are under attack, his typical spiel.”

Louay Safi, director of communications and leadership development at the Islamic Society of North America, defended Wahhaj, a former member of the group’s board of directors, as a “sought-after speaker” among Muslim circles.

“He’s a very popular motivational speaker,” Safi told Foxnews.com. “The sad thing is that the public is only allowed to see him through the veil of an unindicted co-conspirator. He has been charged in the press.”

Safi urged Wahhaj’s critics to consider context while reviewing his controversial statements in the past.

“Remember, he is a motivational speaker,” he continued. “If you take statements by anyone, from the president to congressmen to anyone else, you can take one sentence out of context.”

Safi also credited Wahhaj’s work in revitalizing the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, where in 2003, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz declared Aug. 15 “Imam Siraj Wahhaj Day” in honor of a lifetime of “outstanding and meaningful” achievement.

“He’s done a lot of good work in his community, clearing the area of drug addicts and trying to foster a great sense of community,” Safi said. “He’s done a lot of good work in the New York area.”"

Hear recent WPIX Interview with Iman Siraj Wahhaj

[little jeremiah]

Bookmark, I really should read this whole thing.

[OafOfOffice]

There was someone who said they found Stanley Ann's port of entry after having Obama. I can't remember what happened with that.

But one of the most interesting is Maya Angelou.

And Oprah calls "Maya like a mother to her." Oprah has undying support for Obama. I also have made the connection while reading a couple of older books. The same names pop up with Obama over and over.

Bill Clinton gave Maya a position within the holocaust museum. As she was a staunch supporter of Farakhan who denies the holocaust. I mention this because Obama is anti Israel and the million man march Obama and all his radical pals have attended. Vernon Jordan,Valerie Jarretts Uncle also pops up as a possible holocaust museum board member.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A6001-2001Feb28?language=printer

Blemishes on the Holocaust Museum

appointment of Maya Angelou to the board of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. In 1995 Angelou spoke for Louis Farrakhan. Six years later, she's on the board of a museum dedicated to an event Farrakhan ain't so sure ever happened.

When asked to appear at Farrakhan's Million Man March, Maya did not say no, as some principled African Americans did, nor did she offer any sort of rebuke.

Now think about this. The FALN terrorists Bill Clinton pardoned. Holder was involved.Susan Rosenberg member of weather underground. Weather underground was part of a interlocking directorate that included May 19th Communist organization(May 19th being the birthday of Ho Chi Minh and Malcolm X)..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_19th_Communist_Organization

Black liberation army, The red guerilla risistance,known as "THE FAMILY." One of their objectives was to establish the "Republic of New Afrika" in the American south.

Rosenberg worked in a drug rehab counseling program run by the BLACK PANTHERS and the Young Lords. Hillary worked in some similar programs with black panthers.

Hillary served on the Board of Editors of the Yale Review of Law and Social Action, a “progressive” alternative to the school’s traditional review, and that its fall 1970 issue was devoted to the trial and glorifying the Panthers.

And worked for Robert Treuhaft, a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) and Harvard-trained lawyer for the party.

The links are amazing.Holder and Clinton pardon terrorists 130 bombings, murdering six people and wounding numerous others. What is scary is Obama is linked with them all. All of these people are behind Obama and part of his history. None of this is coincidence.

[Fred Nerks]

What is scary is Obama is linked with them all. All of these people are behind Obama and part of his history. None of this is coincidence.

That is why I decided it might be of interest to go back in time, and try to find what they all had in common.Obama's involvement in the crisis in Kenya led to much of the research I posted on this thread.

I asked myself two questions:

Where was Stanley Ann Dunham between the summer of 1960 when she supposedly graduated until she she showed up with a two or three year old in Hawaii?

And - is it possible that Obama Senior knew Malcolm X before Obama Senior arrived in Hawaii in 1959?

All that you read in #97 is a summary of what was going on at the time. I simply followed the clues to where they led me.

For example, Oginga Odinga, the father of Raila Odinga, who sent one son to be educated in a communist school in East Germany, and the other to the Lumumba University in Moscow, went to the same school as Obama Senior in Kenya.

This same Oginga Odinga visited Malcolm X in the US in 1960.

The entire story is too vast for me to tell...but when Anita Dunn referred to Mao as her favourite philosopher, one recalls WEB Du Bois and Shirley Graham Du Bois meeting Malcolm X in Ghana in 1959 and the Du Bois numerous trips to visit Mao in China.

WEB Du Bois, one of the heroes/saints depicted at Trinity 'church' - the same who wrote glowingly of Stalin:

Leading to Henry Gates:

Henry Louis Gates, Jr. - History of American CivilizationHenry Louis Gates, Jr., is the Alphonse Fletcher University Professor and the Director of the W. E. B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American ...

Gates...An 'associate' of Maya Angelou and consequently pictured with Oprah...somewhere way back on the thread...and on and on it goes.

It creates a possibility of Obama being Malcolm X son. The story Stanley Ann was merely chosen to raise Obama. Or that she met Malcolm X.

You do excellent work. It is so entangled with what we see today it takes awhile to comprehend.

Has anyone found anything on Malcolm X secret son?

Have you seen the right side craial scarthat Obama has, indicating a rather massive sugical intervention?

Maybe he was growing a second head and they had to amputate.

Reminds me of some of the characters in MIB II.

Head injury, but when and what circumstances. (simply too large to suggest the installation of a signal-receiving device...LOL!)
