Barack Obama – The Unauthorized Biography of a Marxist – Part 3 – The Hawaii Years, Barack Obama Sr
In 1935 just before Hitler took power in Germany and just before World War II would begin in Europe, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was born into the Lou Tribe, on the banks of Lake Victoria, Nyang-oma Kogelo in Kenya, East Africa. As a young man Obama was raised as a Muslim, however, as he developed a Marxist philosophy he renounced Islam for Athiesm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama,_Sr.
In the early 1950’s the Mau-Mau rebellion began in Kenya. The Rebellion started within the Kikikuyu Tribe. The Mau – Mau’s wanted independance from Britian and a Kenya that was free of Whites. The first recorded meetings of the rebellions leaders are now reported as having taken place in August 1951. The Rellions goal; end British Rule in Kenya and drive out or kill all white settlers in Kenya. http://africanhistory.about.com/od/kenya/a/MauMauTimeline.htm The Mau-Mau imposed an “oath” on black Kenyans, those who refused to take the oath were slaughtered. Intitiation into the Mau-Mau could include the murder of Whites settlers.
A Brief History Of The Mau-Mau Rebellion & Time Line Of Obama Sr’s Life
24th August 1952 – The Kenyan government imposes a curfew in three districts on the outskirts of Nairobi where gangs of arsonists, believed to be members of the Mau Mau, have been setting fire to homes of Africans who refuse to take the Mau Mau oath. (These sites also provide a broader historical review of the Mau-Mau Rebellion) http://africanhistory.about.com/od/kenya/a/MauMauTimeline.htm http://www.jmss.org/2006/2006spring/articles/MauMau.pdf http://www.history.com/encyclopedia.do?articleId=216045 http://www.wikinfo.org/index.php/Mau_Mau http://www.virginia.edu/politics/grad_program/print/Jonathan.Forney.Valuing.Violence.in.Africa.pdf
7th October 1952 – Senior Chief Waruhui is assassinated in Kenya — he is speared to death in broad daylight on a main road on the outskirts of Nairobi.

1950’s BBC Newsreel on Mau-Mau
19th October 1952 – The British government announces that it will send troops to Kenya to help the fight against the Mau Mau. http://africanhistory.about.com/od/kenya/a/MauMauTimeline.htm
21st October 1952 – With the imminent arrival of British troops, the Kenyan government declares a state of emergency following a month of increasing hostility. Over 40 people have been murdered in Nairobi in the last four weeks and the Mau Mau, officially declared terrorists, have acquired firearms to use along with the more traditional pangas or machettes. As part of the overall clamp down Jomo Kenyatta, president of the Kenya African Union, is arrested for alleged Mau Mau involvement. Kenyatta would later visit the Soviet Union and seek support for his Marxist endeavors. While there can be no doubt that Kenyatta and the Mau-Mau’s were influenced by Soviet Marxism, the support the Mau-Mau’s received from the Soviets was largely verbal. Very little in the way of armaments or money were forth coming from Moscow. http://www.jmss.org/2006/2006spring/articles/MauMau.pdf Moscow was busy consolidating its possessions behind the Iron Curtain. The Communists, however, have a different view of this history. http://amadlandawonye.wikispaces.com/1989,+Furedi,+Mau+Mau,+Consolidation+of+Reaction

25th – 27th May – 1958 – Tom Mboya, General Secretary of the Kenyan Federation of Labor organized a non-violent boycott of Nairobi’s buses, cigarettes and beer. Mboya, like Obama, was a member of the Luo Tribe. http://www.jmss.org/2006/2006spring/articles/MauMau.pdf – page 9. Unlike Obama, Mboya was not a Pro-Soviet Marxist. Mboya was raised in Catholic Schools in Kenya and later attended Oxford University. Mboya’s Socialist leanings were in line with those of the British Labour Party not the Soviet Communist Party. http://africanhistory.about.com/od/countrieseast/p/bio_mboya.htm
Early 1959 – Tom Mboya traveled to the United States to persuade Americans to contribute to a scholarship fund and he was remarkably succesful in his efforts. Kenya, he said, needed Kenyans to be trained in America, so that when independence came they would be capable of replacing the British bureaucrats and administrators who ran the country. In the late 1950s, there were no universities in Kenya. Eight thousand Americans contributed to the fund, among them leaders of the black community including Sidney Poitier, Harry Belafonte, and Jackie Robinson – the famous baseball player. According to the “Tom Mboya Archives” at Stanford University, Elizabeth Mooney Kirk, a literacy advocate, provided most of the financial support for Obama Sr.’s early years in the United States. http://www.christianfaithandreason.com/obama3.html , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Hussein_Obama,_Sr. http://africanhistory.about.com/od/countrieseast/p/bio_mboya.htm http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/03/29/AR2008032902031.html?nav=hcmodule Mboya’s affinity for American and British educational systems offended both the Soviets and the Pro-Soviet forces within Kenya.
July 1959 – 11 Mau Mau activists held at Hola Camp in Kenya are killed. British opposition political parties cite the deaths in their attacks on the UK government along with Britian’s continuing role in Africa in upcoming British elections. http://africanhistory.about.com/od/kenya/a/MauMauTimeline_2.htm
August 1959 – Kezia, now three months pregnant with the Obama’s second child, a daughter, Auma, says her farewell as Barack Obama, Sr. leaves to study at the University of Hawaii. Barack Obama Senior was one of eighty one Tom Mboya scholars that year, along with his friend Phil Obeigwe. The two would meet for a send off party in Mboya’s Nairobi offices before flying off to America together. http://www.christianfaithandreason.com/obama4.html
September 1959 – Barack Obama Senior begins studies at the University of Hawaii. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/03/29/AR2008032902031.html?nav=hcmodule , http://www.christianfaithandreason.com/obama3.html

18th January 1960 – The Kenyan Constitutional Conference being held in London is boycotted by African nationalist leaders.
In “Dreams”, Barack Obama Jr. claims that, “The Kennedy’s (President John F Kennedy) decided: ‘We’re going to do an airlift. We’re going to go to Africa and start bringing young Africans over to this country and give them scholarships to study so they can learn what a wonderful country America is. This young man named Barack Obama [Sr.] got one of those tickets and came over to this country.” This account of Obama Sr’s arrival in the US is entirely fiction. The Kennedy family involvement with the airlift did not begin until 1960, one year after Obama, Sr. had arrived and started studies at the University of Hawaii. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Hussein_Obama,_Sr. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/03/29/AR2008032902031.html?nav=hcmodule Obama repeated this falsehood in a 2007 civil rights speech in Selma, Alabama. These facts can be confirmed by documents in the Kennedy Library. http://www.jfklink.com/speeches/jfk/misc60/jfk010860_africangrant.html During the Selma speech Obama went on to falsely embellish when he said, “There was something stirring across the country [then] because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Junior was born. So don’t tell me I don’t have a claim on Selma, Alabama.” Bloggers have pointed out that the Selma bridge protest did not occurr until four years after Obama’s birth. The Washington Post went on to confirm the falsehood. Barrack, if you have a claim on a connection to Selma, it isn’t this one. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/03/29/AR2008032902031_2.html?nav=hcmodule
BBC Newsreel – Tom Mboya Funeral
June 1960 – Barack Obama, Sr. finishes his first year of study at the University of Hawaii.
June 1960 – Stanley Ann Dunham arrives in Hawaii with her family.
September 1960 – Barack Obama, Sr and Stanley Ann Dunham meet in a Russian Language class at the University of Hawaii.
November 1960 – Stanley Ann Dunham turns 18 and conceives Barrack Obama, Jr.
February 21 1961 – It is claimed that Barack Hussien Obama, Sr. married Stanley Ann Dunham in Maui, Hawaii. There were no parents, friends or witnesses present. Writers have suggested that since no documentary evidence of a marriage has ever been produced, the failure to produce such evidence strongly suggests that Stanley Ann Dunham and Barack Obama Senior were never legally married. http://www.christianfaithandreason.com/obama5.html
The State of Hawaii maintains all marriage records in its Department of Vital Records, a part of the Department of Health. Its website states that any family member can request copies of valid marriage certificates by simply paying a small fee. Documentary evidence for marriages that took place in Hawaii in 1961 is readily available for any any inquiring family member. http://www.christianfaithandreason.com/obama5.html
18th April 1961 – In return for the release of Jomo Kenyatta, African nationalist leaders agree to take a role in Kenya’s government. http://africanhistory.about.com/od/kenya/a/MauMauTimeline_2.htm

August 4, 1961 – Barack Hussein Obama, Jr is born. It is reported that Stanley Ann Dunham drops out of school to take care of the child. This is incorrect. It has been reported that Barack Hussein Obama, Sr was not present at the birth. Stanley Ann’s high school classmate Susan Blake had the impression that he was not there, and may not even have been on the island of Hawaii at the time, but no other contemporary has any recollections on this issue one way or the other. http://www.christianfaithandreason.com/obama6.html
August 1961 – Obama biographer David Mendell reports that Barack Obama Senior rented a small one floor house near the campus of the University of Hawaii around this time, ostensibly as a home for his young wife and their new son. http://www.christianfaithandreason.com/obama6.html Other reports suggest this is incorrect.
Late August 1961 – Stanley Ann (Dunham) Obama returns to Mercer Island, Washington and enrolls in classes at the University of Washington. http://www.christianfaithandreason.com/obama6.html
The Obama Family Myth – as desribed in “Dreams” is that Barack Obama Sr. abandoned his wife and young child to study at Harvard. That Obama Sr. had a choice between Harvard and the New School, that he choose Harvard over the New School where scholarship money would have helped support the family. Again, this is myth. Ann Obama left Barack Obama Sr, in August 1961, weeks after Barack Jr’s birth. Ann found funding for her own studies at the University of Washigton while Barack Sr completed his studies at the University of Hawaii. Ann did not attend Obama’s graduation ceremonies and did not return to Hawaii until Obama had moved on to Harvard University.
21st August 1961 – All restrictions on Jomo Kenyatta’s movements are lifted following his release from prison the previous month.

May 1962 – According to the Tom Mboya archives at Stanford University, Elizabeth Mooney Kirk wrote to the Mboya Scholarship Fund asking it to fund Obama Senior’s graduate studies at Harvard. No mention was made in the request of the need to fund the living expenses of a wife and son. http://www.christianfaithandreason.com/obama8.html
June 1962 – Barack Hussein Obama, Sr graduates with honors (Phi Betta Kappa) after only 3 years of study at the University of Hawaii. Neither Ann Obama nor Barack Jr. attend the graduation. http://www.christianfaithandreason.com/obama9.html
June 22, 1962 – The Honolulu Star-Bulletin noted Obama’s departure from Hawaii for Harvard. http://www.christianfaithandreason.com/obama9.html
June/September 1962 – Ann Obama moves back to Hawaii with Barack, Jr. She would resume her attendance at the University of Hawaii on an irregular part time basis. http://www.christianfaithandreason.com/obama9.html
September 1962 – Barack Sr. begins studies at Harvard University. Obama would meet an American-born teacher named Ruth Nidesand who would return to Kenya with Obama after his graduation from Harvard. Obama and Nidestand would eventually marry, she would become his third wife. The couple would have two children before they divorced. http://www.christianfaithandreason.com/obama9.html

12 December 1964 – Kenya is declared a republic. Jomo Kenyatta the first President. http://africanhistory.about.com/od/kenya/a/MauMauTimeline_2.htm
BBC Newsreel – Kenya a Republic – President Kenyatta / Vice President Odinga
July 1965 – Barack Obama, Sr. publishes an article titled “Problems Facing Our Socialism” in the East Africa Journal. The article was highly critical of the blueprint for national planning titled “African Socialism and Its Applicability to Planning in Kenya”. The blueprint had been prepared by Tom Mboya’s Ministry of Economic Planning and Development. http://www.politico.com/static/PPM41_eastafrica.html Mboya a fellow member of the Luo Tribe had been Obama’s mentor and protector. It had been Mboya, not the “Kennedy Family”, who had provided Obama with his opportunity for education in the US. Myboya’s publication, also called “Sessional Paper 10 on Harambee and the Principles of African Socialism” (adopted by Parliament in 1964) provided a model of government based on “African values” rather than Pro-Soviet Marxism. Mboya’s paper was considered the equivalent of Kenya’s “Economic Constitution” – Obama’s criticism of Mboya and his the support for the Pro-Soviet Marxists in the KPU (Kenyan Peoples Union), was a career killer. http://amadlandawonye.wikispaces.com/1989,+Furedi,+Mau+Mau,+Consolidation+of+Reaction (The above post by Communist University online).
Early 1967 – Support for the KPU had significantly diminished – KPU support was limited to a “handful of Luos”. http://amadlandawonye.wikispaces.com/1989,+Furedi,+Mau+Mau,+Consolidation+of+Reaction
5th July 1969 – Tom Mboya was assassinated by Nahashon Isaac Njenga Njorogein in Nairobi. After mboya’s death, Obama could not find another sponsor to help further his career. Obama’s career in Government stagnated. Whether President Jomo Kenyatta was involved in the killing of Mboya or not has always been highly disputed. http://encyclopedia.stateuniversity.com/pages/22354/Tom-Mboya.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Mboya
Some have suggested Mboya was killed because of alleged ties with the American CIA. http://www.afroarticles.com/article-dashboard/Article/Kenya—Tom-Mboya-s-fatal-links-with-CIA/111469
These allegations have been presented in works friendly to Marxist/Leninist ideology as a justification for Mboya’s assassination. There is no credible evidence of a CIA tie with Mboya, however, pro Soviet Marxists strongly opposed Mboya’s educational programs for young Kenyan’s (Marxists or not). Moscow wanted to educate the young Kenyan’s. http://kumekucha.blogspot.com/2007/08/tom-mboyas-son-breaks-silence-39-time.html http://amadlandawonye.wikispaces.com/1989,+Furedi,+Mau+Mau,+Consolidation+of+Reaction Questions remain as to whether Mboya may have been killed by the last remenants of the Pro-Soviet Marxist KPU.
Kenyan journalist Philip Ochieng, who traveled with Obama to America as a fellow student remained Obama’s friend for life. Ochieng, who referred to himself as Obama’s, “old drinking buddy”, recalled that Obama antagonized other officials with his “boasting,” was “excessively fond of Scotch” and ended up in poverty “without a job.” He got into frequent car accidents, one of which led to the amputation of both his legs. He was killed in another car accident, in 1982, at the age of 46.” http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/03/29/AR2008032902031_2.html?nav=hcmodule
In ‘Dreams” Obama states that Obama Sr’s career “was destroyed by a conflict with President Kenyatta”, that assertion is not supported by the facts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama,_Sr.
While it is probabe that President Kenyatta distrusted Obama Sr. on the basis of their different tribal affliations (the animosity between the Kikuyu and Luo tribes continues to this day) it is much more probable that Obama’s betrayal of Tom Mboya and his radical Pro-Soviet Marxism made him an outcast in both the mainstream Luo Tribal Political System and in the greater Pan-African political movement fostered by Mboya and Kenyatta. Acknowledging this would be politically inconvenient for Candidate Obama.

Mcauleysworld's Weblog 
As someone born in Ecuador with friends and relatives in Latin America, I’m terrified watching how people in the United States are being manipulated just like people in Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia and Ecuador to put a Marxist in power.
The similarities between Rafael Correa’s campaign for president of Ecuador and that of Obama for U.S. president are amazing. Correa had no experience but was young, charismatic and had good speaking skills. Correa’s slogans were the same as Obama’s: CHANGE, YES WE CAN, etc.
Informed Ecuadorians were not able to convince their clueless compatriots that Correa was a fake and not the young and wonderful savior the media was portraying. They could not compete in ads with the millions Correa had (mostly from unknown sources).
Once he took over, Correa dissolved Congress and took control of the legislative and judicial powers. In other words, he became a dictator. Ecuadorians are poorer than ever. The CHANGE has been toward Marxism and greater poverty for all.
It’s now obvious that Correa works with Chávez and terrorists AGAINST Ecuadorians and the United States.
Most informed Ecuadorians, when they realized the similarities between Correa and Obama, felt confident that Americans could not be fooled as Ecuadorians had. However, it seems many Americans are as clueless as the poorest and most ignorant people in Ecuador or Bolivia.
I hope it’s not too late and Americans realize that Obama is a Marxists with ties to Islamic terrorists, just like Castro, Chávez, Morales, Correa and Odinga (Obama’s Marxist Kenyan relative).
The Luos were engineers of Mau Mau, although it is being spun differently by Obama and the Luos.
Some notes on Luo involvement in the Mau Mau (and a couple of misc.):
“The origins of the movement are clouded.” “In all likelihood, Mau Mau was formed from a coming together of several Kikuyu political forces, including the KCA and other banned organizations.”
“The linkage between KCA, KAU and Mau Mau lies in the triple membership of the youth in all three.”
“Nairobi was an outcast city in those days.” “The oathing and arming went on… and linkages were forged as young men carried arms, as taxicab drivers shuttled the leadership of KAU and the trade unions, and Mau Mau ‘justice’ installed itself in the town.” “In Nairobi, the urban sub-elite leadership of the KAU lost control of the militants in 1951, and for two years the Mau Mau had a field day.”
“The Mau Mau raiders of Athi River Prison in 1953, included a contingent of Luo combatants (Kabiro 1953) , and the intelligence reports from Kampala and North Mara cited a movement of Luo Mau Mau guerrillas, known as Onegos, who sought to link the Mau Mau war and the agitation of the Baganda.” It was the Onegos who threatened to sabotage the ceremonial royal opening of the Owen Falls Dam at Jinja in 1954.”
“With a core membership drawn from KAU, the KANU was formed by Tom Mboya and Oginga Odinga in the name of Kenyatta.” [ties the Luos to KAU mentioned above]
“In 1959, Luo leaders Tom Mboya and Oginga Odinga formed a Luo-Kikuyu coalition to undo the decolonization that had been laid out.”
“In Kenya, Luo ethnicity has probably significantly deepened since independence, partly in defensive reaction to some government policies. This became especially true in the period between xxxx and 1969 during the tumultuous lifespan of the KPU, a self-styled socialist party lead by Oginga Odinga that drew most of its support from Nyuanza Province among the Luo.”
The Arab Luos were slave traders, and the British abolished slavery and initiated the lengthy process to end the trade. Land was also taken for development, and to try to force the radical Muslim Luos out, perhaps back to their homeland in Sudan. The Luos fought back and then some [repeatedly forming, morphing radical violent groups.] Successfully. Unfortunately they are radical Muslims with their sights on making Africa an Islam Nation and on obtaining the U.S. Presidency. Raila Odinga and Obama are in place to achieve these goals.
TO CYNichol:
Thank you for the post – pleasse feel free to read Part 4 of my post – If you have the chance pleaase cite your sources – I appreciate your quotation marks, but the sources would be valuable – I recognize several of sources from the quotes you used – Tom Mboya had his split with Odinga on the issues of the role of violence and the role of the British in post Colonial Kenya – Odinga, a Soviet-Marxist – believed in violence – not just belived in it – thought of it as a necessity – Did his son, the current Kenyan PM inherit these beliefs – the curent PM was educated in East Germany in the 60’s. Mboya also desired a role for the British and the West in Kenya – The Mau-Mau did not.
Obama Sr was an Odinga desciple – not a Mboya follower. Obama Sr opposed everything the Kennedy Administration stood in Africa and detested the Mboya-Kennedy connection. Note that Odinga was suspected of involvement in the Mboya killing. Note the civil warn that erupted after the 2007 Kenyan elections – are the roots of that violence rooted in the Mau-Mau and 1950’s Marxism in Africa?
