Anti-Obama Author Jerome Corsi Detained in Kenya

The Associated Press reports today that Jerome Corsi, the author of the The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality, is being held in immigration headquarters in Kenya, Africa, while his immigration status is checked.

Reuters reporting on the scene said that Corsi arrived at a Nairobi hotel to promote the launch of his book but was whisked away by authorities.

Corsi’s publicist told Reuters that "his passport was fine, his visa was fine." He reportedly broke no immigration rules in the country where Reuters reports that a recent survey showed that 89 percent of Kenyans support Obama, versus just three percent for Republican rival McCain.

Corsi, 62, is an Ohio native. His New York Times bestselling book, The Obama Nation, was published in 2008 and attacks the Democratic presidential candidates with what critics have called fallacious information and unproven rumors.

But with Obama, pre-existing doesn’t matter, everyone will be covered. And I hope it is true. LOL - my problem is no one’s promises really come true.

I just read this at mediamatters: On the October 9 edition of KSFO’s The Lee Rodgers Show, Rodgers interviewed author Jerome Corsi, following Corsi’s detention and eventual departure from Kenya, where he had reportedly been attempting to promote his book, The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality . During the interview, Corsi said of his detention: “I think the story here is really the suppression of the press. … I hate to think of what the First Amendment is going to mean. If you write a negative book or criticize [Sen. Barack] Obama, I think you’re now going to have to risk being thrown in jail or killed.” Rodgers replied: “Yeah, well, that’s the mentality of these people.” Earlier in the interview, Rodgers said to Corsi: “Kenya used to be a nice country, but I’ll tell you — I’ll tell you what’s scary about this, to make the connection here. These are friends of Barack Obama in Kenya, who are trying to intimidate a journalist. … I’m telling you, this is scary. I have heard from Obama supporters telling me: one way or another, boy, when we’re in office, we’re going to shut you down.”

Thank you, My Alias, for helping people see the real Obama. Women in particular need to know what Sharia (Islamic law) means. Obama’s relative Odinga, personally supported by Obama, signed an MOU (an agreement) with the Muslims to establish Sharia in Kenya, although only 10% or Kenyans are Muslim. Under Sharia, women have about the same rights as animals and are forced to obey men and cover their bodies and faces or face punishment or even death. There is PROOF that Obama used his elected office—and taxpayers’ dollars—to support Kenya’s Raila Odinga, self touted as “Your Agent for Change,” a violent anti-American thug who made a pact with the Muslims to institute sharia (Islamic law). Odinga’s followers killed 750 people and burned a Christian church with 50 people, many of them children, inside.

My family and friends are terrified watching how our country is about to be delivered to a Marxist with Islamic connections with the complicity of the media. Those in the media who have had the courage to report the truth, to whom we are most grateful, are very few. Please do NOT become an accomplice of the enemies of the United States and the Free World. Report the facts about Obama’s connections, such as his connections with his Marxist relative Odinga. Here’s basic information: Video: Corsi, Odinga, Obama…Why Corsi was deported? http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c30_1223478281 Video of Obama and Odinga campaiging together in Kenya. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6eVVVKFHu0 Odinga’s pact with the Muslims to institute sharia https://secure.wikileaks.org/leak/MOU_between_Ralia_Odinga_and_Muslims.p… The Obama-Odinga connection. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=77508 The true story (from a Canadian’s perspective): http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/4353 Obama’s half truths http://greybeard.igogg.com/archives/628 Are Americans already brainwashed? http://www.dailymotion.com/video/k6KUDv1wzraWhwlBt1 Please don’t be an accomplice of the enemies of the United States and the Free World!
