Anti-Obama Writer Detained in Kenya

Jerome Corsi, who wrote an anti-Obama book called The Obama Nation, was in Kenya investigating Obama’s connections to Kenya. He was to hold a press conference in which he was going to discuss what he had found.

There was a little surprise waiting for Corsi as he made his way to the press conference, though. It was the Kenya’s immigration department. They swooped in an arrested him before he could make public his findings.

Corsi had promised a news conference today that would “expose details of deep secret ties between U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and a section of Kenya government leaders, their connection to certain sectoral groups in Kenya and subsequent plot to be executed in Kenya should Senator Obama win the American presidency.”

Somebody didn’t want this information out there. Here is some of what Corsi was going to reveal:

Corsi was set to show Obama and Odinga have been in direct contact since the senator’s visit to Kenya in 2006. He was to claim Obama advised Odinga on campaign strategy and helped him raise money in the U.S. for the Kenya presidential campaign.

Obama was raising money in the United States and sending it to the campaign of a foreign election. But what about that campaign strategy that Obama helped Odinga with?

Corsi was to report Odinga’s 2007 presidential campaign strategy called for exploiting anti-Kikuyu tribal sentiments, claiming victory and charging voter fraud even if the campaign knew the election had been legitimately lost. Odinga, Corsi said, also was willing to fan the flames of ethnic tribal tensions

Ethnic tribal tensions? Could this be equivalent to the class warfare that the Democrats love to use in America as a campaign strategy? But the kicker to me is that Odinga was prepared to claim voter fraud occurred even if he knew that the charges were unfounded and untrue. That is straight out of the Democrat playbook, and foreshadows what can be expected from Obama in the extremely unlikely event that he loses the election.

So somebody wanted Corsi silenced, was it Odinga or was it the Obama campaign that made the call to collect on a debt for the campaign money that was funneled into Kenya? In order to answer that question we must once again look to Barack Obama’s past.

Barack Obama has already admitted that he is in favor of silencing the people who do not agree with him and I am not only talking about his approval of re-instituting the fairness doctrine to shut down conservative radio and blogs. That would have to wait until he was president, he is already in the game of harassing and threatening those who oppose him with the “truth squads” that he sent out in Missouri to intimidate people who run commercials that are critical of him. He is also pressuring television stations not to run ads critical of him by the NRA. Is it really too much of a stretch to think that Obama had a hand in this?

But Obama’s defiance of the freedom of the press and of free speech, isn’t where his disdain for the constitution ends. As director of the Joyce Foundation he worked hard to undermine an individual’s right to keep and bear arms using the court system, and will continue to do so once he assumes the presidency with his judicial nominees. Regardless of what he now says.

And of course no discussion of Obama’s past can be finished without talking about his association with William Ayers. Obama’s campaign likes to say that Obama was only eight when Ayers committed his terrorist attacks on the Pentagon, but Obama’sassociation with Ayers is much more recent than that. As director and co-founder with William Ayer of The Chicago Annenberg Challenge he helped fund William Ayers and his radical teachings in Chicago.

Which then leads us to Reverend Jeremiah Wright and his radical, race baiting, hate mongering, anti-American sermons that Barack Obama attended for twenty years. And brought his children to.

Obama’s past is filled with associations to people unfriendly with America and with ideas that are contrary to the constitution and the rights of speech, press, and the right to bear arms. So again I ask, is it so hard to believe that Obama had a hand in this writers detainment in Kenya?

All of these associations and beliefs are just too conveniently coincidental for me to believe. Barack Obama has a pattern here, it is a pattern that we are supposed to ignore. If you dare to ask about Obama’s past you are accused of either engaging in the politics of personal destruction, or of personal attacks, or of being a racist. Or all of the above. We are supposed to believe that Barack Obama’s past is not relevant to the campaign, but who a person is today derives from who he was and what happened to him in the past. Barack Obama’s past is just too damn shady and I can not ignore it.

Obama’s past does matter today, especially when the associations that he claims were long ago were allot more recent than Obama cares to admit.

But why was Corsi coincidentally detained just as he was headed to his press conference? Was it just another coincidence? Or was there more? What was Corsi going to reveal?

Just one more question, could it have been a birth certificate?
