President Obama’s Brother sells Revealing Letter Written by him
President Obama’s half-brother, Malik Abongo “Roy” Obama, has sold a handwritten letter from the president, penned 20 years ago, that reveals Obama’s reasoning for getting into politics including “to deal with some serious issues blacks face here.”
“Some colleagues of mine here have talked me into running for the Illinois State Senate (like being an MP for a province),” the future world leader wrote his kin in July 1995, before his political career began. “I have agreed, since I have an interest in politics to deal with some serious issues blacks face here,” Obama wrote.
The letter also reveals Obama’s disdain for meetings, saying, “Of course, it involves a lot of campaigning, going to meetings and so on, which I don’t find so attractive.” He adds, “Anyway, if I win it will only be a part-time post, and I will continue my work as a lawyer.”
The letter, which we hear Malik sold as a package with a copy of a manuscript of Obama’s first book, “Dreams From My Father,” with handwritten notes also gives an update on First Lady Michelle and his late mother, who died later that year.
“Michelle is fine, also busy with her work,” Obama wrote. “My mom’s health has been stabilized for now, but she is by no means cured and continues to undergo extensive treatment.” In the letter, signed “Much love, Barack,” the future president adds news that his brother’s “found a new wife,” “Man, I must say you don’t fool around!”
The letter was offered up to parties such as LA-based memorabilia dealer Moments in Time before it was bought by a collector.
Malik, who lives in Kenya, also sold two other handwritten letters from Obama for nearly $15,000 each in 2013.
Malik, who shares the same father with the president, has said they were best men at each other’s weddings. But earlier this year, he called Obama a “schemer” and said, “He’s not been an honest man . . . in who he is and what he says and how he treats people.”
The amount paid for the letter was not disclosed. The White House did not comment.
President Barrack Obama to host President Buhari at the White House
As released by the White House...
On Monday, July 20, President Obama will host Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari at the White House. The visit will underscore the United States’ longstanding friendship with Nigeria, our commitment to strengthening and expanding our partnership with Nigeria’s new government, and our support for the Nigerian people following their historic democratic elections and peaceful transfer of power.
President Obama looks forward to discussing with President Buhari our many shared priorities including U.S.-Nigeria cooperation to advance a holistic, regional approach to combating Boko Haram, as well as Nigeria’s efforts to advance important economic and political reforms that will help unlock its full potential as a regional and global leader. In addition to hosting President Buhari at the White House, the United States will welcome President Buhari’s senior advisors for consultations with U.S. counterparts and other events aimed at building on the strong U.S.-Nigeria relationship.
Femi Fani Kayode Calls Obama The Anti-Christ, Gives His Reasons
With Anti-Christ tendencies, can Barack Obama be trusted?Written by Femi Fani-Kayode
The American Presidential election will take place in a few days time
and frankly some questions still need to be answered. I wish that
Governor Mitt Romney had put one of those questions particularly to
President Barrack Hussein Obama
during their last Presidential debate, which was on foreign policy.
Permit me to put that question here and it is as follows. Why did
the President bow so low before Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah four years
ago during his first state visit to the Arab Gulf state and why did he
feel the need to almost touch his toes with his forehead when he did
so.
It is a matter of historical record that no American President in
the last 200 years has ever bowed so low before any foreign leader,
Prime Minister, Head of State, President or monarch. It appears to me to
be rather strange that Obama,
on his first trip to the Middle East as President of the most powerful
country on the planet, should literally prostrate before an Arab King
whose country has an abominable record on human rights, civil liberties,
the rights of women and religious minorities and where the system of
government is a totalitarian and absolute monarchy.
Luckily a picture
was taken of that celebrated event and that picture really does tell us
something about the American President’s mindset. Yet it does not stop
there.On that same trip four years ago, after leaving Saudi Arabia, Obama
toured the greater part of the Middle East and Egypt and in speech
after speech he apologised to the Arabs for American policy in the
Middle East over the previous 50 years.
He did this despite the fact
that in most of those countries Christians, shia Muslims and ethnic
minorities have no rights at all and even though they have been killed,
persecuted and suppressed for many decades. Again he did this even
though none of those countries were democracies and even though all of
them, except for two, have refused to acknowledge the right of the
Jewish State of Israel to even exist.
This left a bad taste in the mouth
of many at the time and the question that came to my mind was whether
the ”Hussein” was coming out of the ”Barrack Hussein Obama”
more than the ”Barrack” itself was. Yet whatever anyone may feel about
the issue of his touching his toes with his head and his bowing before
the Saudi king, as far as I am concerned, President Obama
is not what he appears to be. There is far more to him than meets the
eye. A couple more questions will suffice to illustrate this point.
Why is it that each time Barrack Obama is about to submit himself
for a Presidential election and seek a mandate from his people there is a
raging, monumental, earth-shattering and record-breaking freak of a
storm, which kills numerous people in America? It happened a few days
before his Presidential election in 2008 and it has just happened again a
few days before his Presidential election in 2012.
Again why is it that
on the first day of the convention of the opposition Republican party,
both in 2008 and again this year, yet another violent and dangerous
killer storm hit the towns in which the two conventions
were held causing them both to be partially disrupted? What is Obama’s
relationship with the elemental forces? What is his relationship with
God or some lesser deity?
What is his source of power and what is his
spiritual foundation? There is no doubt that he is a powerful orator and
that he delivers brilliant speeches that mesmerises his audience. Yet
so did Adolf Hitler and we all know what he was.
I ask these questions because President Obama has supported every
anti-Christian and anti-faith policy that the American permissive state
has thrown up and endorsed in recent years. The violation and
literal denunciation of these religious core values, in my view, betrays
the unfolding of an illicit, dark, sinister and subterranean
anti-Christ agenda, which must be rejected by all true men and women of
faith.
They must be renounced by every Christian, every Jew and every
Muslim and indeed all those that truly espouse the noble values and
virtues of any of the three Abrahamic faiths. They must be rejected by
all those that believe in the supremacy and efficacy of a monotheic God
whose core values and holistic principles and standards are worthy of
emulation and of being respected and cherished.
There are many examples of these gross violations of our core
religious values but permit me to share just four of them with you here.
Firstly, President Obama has endorsed a woman’s right to have
an abortion and he has publically denounced ”the right to life” of
unborn babies.
Secondly, he has endorsed same-sex marriages.
Thirdly, he
has consistently supported homosexuality and the rights of homosexuals
and lesbians. And fourthly, and perhaps the most disturbing of all, he
has endorsed the right of same-sex couples to adopt and raise
children. Quite apart from these four, Obama has also endorsed all
manner of social perversions and deviant behaviour in the name of
humanism, ”new age” liberalism and the permissive American state. No
true believer or person of faith can possibly accept such practices,
endorse such values and still stand right before God.
To put the icing on the cake, let me make one more point. Rev. Jene
Robinson, a vocal and practising homosexual, whose ordination as a
Bishop split the Anglican Church in America into two, was specially
selected by Obama to deliver the invocation of the name of God and
prayers at the beginning of the inaugural weekend of his inauguration
ceremony as President in 2008. What message was Obama trying to send to
America and to the world by insisting on this?
Outside of the area of social and religious values President Obama
has also failed in the area of foreign and domestic policy. A few
examples will suffice. The unprecedented number of drone attacks in
Pakistan and Afghanistan which has led to record highs in the number of
deaths of innocent Muslim civilians, women and children in both
countries. The alienation of Pakistan and Afghanistan as key allies in
the war against terror.
The destabilisation of north Africa and the
opening of the door for Islamic insurgents in the north African Arab
Sahel states and the west African sub-region. The display of weakness
and procrastination before Iran and it’s covert agenda to build a
nuclear bomb. The display of double standards in the State of Bahrain
and the over-pampering of the Arab Gulf states.
The sheer mess that
has been created in Syria and the indecision and procrastination of the
Obama administration who have abandoned the opposition forces in that
country even as thousands of innocent people are being slaughtered by
Assad’s brutal regime. The insincerity of purpose and sheer coldness
being displayed towards Israel and the indifference to her dangerous and
existential plight.
The disdain and contempt shown to all people of
faith, the evangelical movement, the Christian far-right and the vision
of the old Pilgrim Fathers that founded the great country that is known
as the United States of America.
The removal of the words “God” and “Israel” from the Democratic Party
Convention. The disastrous handling of the American economy that has
acquired a five trillion dollar deficit in the last four years. The rise
of Islamic fundamentalism in Mali and Nigeria due to a shortsighted and
reckless policy in Libya.
The taking of power by the
fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and the rise in power of Al
Shabbad in Somalia and East Africa. The inexplicable refusal to declare Boko Haram
(the Islamic terror group that is bombing and killing thousands in
northern Nigeria) as a terrorist organisation.
The gradual turning of
America into a quasi- welfarist state where ”big government” reigns and
in which the traditional engine room of growth that is known as the
American middle class is being systematically weakened and destroyed.
The desecration of the traditional family unit and good old fashioned
Christian values by the adoption of strange and liberal “new age”
practices, values and philosophies.
The inability to protect the lives
of American diplomats living abroad and the lack of firm reprisals after
the killing of the American Ambassador and other Americans by
terrorists in Libya. The massive foreign debt that America has acquired
in the last four years. The huge quantum of cash that America is now
owing China.
The fact that fuel prices have doubled in America in the
last four years. The fact that trade and aid to the African continent
has dropped to an all-time low under Obama’s government and that
historically it is only under Republican administrations that Africa is
treated with any real compassion and equity in terms of economic
policy. The fact that more money and concrete support was pumped into
Africa and African causes by President George W.
Bush than any other
President in American history and that President Obama has literally
reversed all that in the last four years. The fact that Obama’s refusal
to tap into, make use of and mine the fossil fuels, coal and massive oil and gas reserves that reside in American territory which has led to an unhealthy and expensive dependence on foreign oil and a dangerous interest in the affairs of oil-producing
nations. The fact that the American military has been subjected to
serious cutbacks and that some of those cut backs have affected
the morale of the Armed Forces. The list goes on and on.
These are just
some of Obama’s disastrous legacies and sadly the mistakes he has made
in his foreign policy in north Africa particularly impacts on us
directly in Nigeria and in west Africa. Let me give you just one example
of that.
Had it not been for the fall-out of the mess in Libya and the
brutal way in which Muammar Ghadaffi, the Libyan leader, was murdered in
cold blood one year ago, his Taureg friends and allies in north Africa
would not have been inspired and driven to take over northern Mali and
create a Taliban-style Islamic fundamentalist state there and northern
Nigeria would not have been flooded with jihadist foot-soldiers and all
manner of sophisticated arms and bombing devices for usage by Boko Haram.
With Obama all we see and hear are beautiful and inspirational
speeches, a good deal of doublespeak, a failed economic policy and a
weak, dangerous and thoroughly uninspiring foreign policy. Worst still
all we see in Obama’s African policy is unpredictability, chaos, the
appeasement of terrorists and utter confusion.
Given this I cannot come
to any other conclusion than the fact that President Barrack Hussein
Obama cannot be trusted with America or indeed the world for the next
four years. In my view he is a very mysterious, strange and complex man
and sadly he has proved to be a thoroughly disappointing President.
Consequently my prayer is that Governor Mitt Romney defeats him in the
Presidential election, which will hold in a few days time. If he does
not, I fear that the much-predicted “beginning of the end” of America as
a world economic power may have just begun. With China on the
rise, Russia waxing strong, Brazil, India and Japan flexing
their muscles and the European Union finally beginning to take shape and
find her feet, in the next twenty years the world will be a very
different place and America may no longer be “prima inter pares” (the
first amongst equals).
Only Romney can stop that downward trend. I am
aware of the fact that, given Obama’s ancestry, this may not be a
popular position to take amongst those of us that are people of colour
and that are Africans but nevertheless it is still my position. I may be
wrong but at least I have provided some food for thought.
Finally let us remember President Obama’s health policy. This can be
framed as follows- ”President Obama Vs Revelations 13:15-18”. The US
Senate has passed the Obama HealthCare’ bill into law.
The
implementation would commence on 23/03/ 2013.This bill would require all
Americans to be implanted with a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
chip in order to access medical care. The device will be implanted on
the forehead or on the arm. This is to fulfill the prophesy in the Book
of Revelation 13:15-18 concerning the MARK OF THE BEAST! Anyone that has
ears should listen.
God bless America.
