“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.
“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 and use violence as a last resort by calling for mass action that led to the destruction of properties, injuries, loss of life and the displacement of over 500,000 Kenyans. The purpose was to compel the Electoral Commission of Kenya to declare him the winner or enable him to declare himself the winner by force.”
Mogadishu, definitely.
Given the recent arrest of the guy who owned Fingerhut and Sun Country and the recent bankruptcy of the latter, I wonder how many corporations will elect to remain in the People’s Republic of Minnesota now that it’s become clear that it is open season on anyone with assets worth seizing. My question is this: if it is against the law to run a Ponzi scheme, then why aren’t President Bush and Ben Bernanke being arrested?
