WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

[Here is a report from our AfricanCrisis correspondent in Kenya. It amazes me that the USA, the great “exporter” of “democracy” has such a shocking record when it comes to supporting “democracy” in countries. It turned a blind eye to Robert Mugabe’s pre-2000 election cheating. Now it comes out and states that he cheats. But in Kenya, it turns a blind eye. True, a Marxist won – but hey – isn’t that was “democracy” is supposedly all about? Let people win elections in a free and fair competition? But then again, the USA is not always a good example of that either! Jan]
Jan,
This CNN report says 1,000 have died from the violence. The CNN report also mentions how Kenya is co-operating with the USA on the war on terror: http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/africa/01/0…br>
Other uncomfirmed estimates put the latest deaths at 4,000 or higher. The opposition leader, Raila Odinga, was shown on an independent TV news channel touring the Nairobi City Mortuary a few days ago. Many dead bodies were shown stacked up, and it was clear that the mortuary was full.
I am afraid I cannot get photos for you because the conflict areas have a heavy security presence, and people who try to venture into those areas are being beaten by the police.
The President of Ghana, John Kuffuor, came here a few days ago to mediate the crisis as the AU Chairman. He suggested that allegations of electoral irregularities be investigated, but he was rebuffed by President Kibaki. Kuffuor left Kenya today (Thursday) in frustation, at the lack of co-operation he was getting from the Kenyan government.
4 out of the 20 members of the Electoral Commission held a press conference saying that the election was rigged. The Chairman of the Electoral Commission of Kenya, Mr. Samuel Kivuitu, recently said that he did not know who actually won the Presidential election, despite the fact that it was him who announced Kibaki the winner. The Law Society of Kenya has said that the President is in office illegally.
Kenyan government officials were terrified of Raila Odinga becoming President, because he had promised to investigate cases of corruption in the country. The August 31, 2007, edition of the Guardian had a story of the extent of high-level corruption in the country. The former President, Daniel Arap Moi, was revealed to have stashed 1 billion pounds ($2 billion) in Britain and other foreign countries. Here is the Guardian story: http://www.guardian.co.uk/kenya/story/0,,2159…
Moi agreed to support Kibaki’s re-election efforts on the promise that Kibaki would allow Moi to keep the loot he stole from the Kenyan people, and would not be investigated. Senior officials in Kibaki’s government have already stolen a lot of money from the government, and were as fearful of Odinga coming to power as Moi was. Odinga may have a Marxist background, but he is considered to be a patriot who is looking out for the good of the country.
The US government is fully aware that the election was massively rigged. But instead of demanding new elections under close international supervision, US government officials are proposing a coalition government. America’s hypocrisy has been exposed to the world. When Mugabe rigged the 2002 elections in Zimbabwe, the US declared that it would not recognize the result. When a Pro-Russian candidate won the rigged 2004 election in Ukraine, the US was outspoken in rejecting the result. The US supported the so-called Orange Revolution, that forced a repeat in the polls, and brought the pro-American Viktor Yushchenko to power.
But in Kenya, the US is insisting that the victim who had the election stolen from him (Raila Odinga), be forced into a coaltion government, to work as a minister under the government of the man who stole the election from him.
The US Assistant Secretary for African Affairs, Jendayi Frazer, is in Kenya to help prop up the corrupt Kibaki government, under the guise of mediation. Ms. Frazer and the US Ambassador, Michael Ranneberger, have disgraced the American people by supporting a rigged election. Why did the US government reject rigged elections in Zimbabwe and Ukraine, but not Kenya? The head of the EU team of election observers, Alexander Graf Lambsdorff, has condemned the massive electoral fraud.
The US government could end the crisis in Kenya very quickly by demanding new elections, under close international supervision. But America prefers to prop up a corrupt government, because it does everything it is told by America to do, including violating the rights of Kenyan citizens who happen to be Muslims, in the name of fighting terrorism.
