Raila Odinga

Raila Odinga is the current Prime Minister of Kenya, and has been a Member of Parliament in that nation since 1992. He is also a first cousin of Barack Obama, whose late Muslim father was Odinga’s maternal uncle. Today Odinga heads the same Luo tribe to which the elder Obama belonged.
In 1982 Odinga collaborated in a failed coup attempt against Kenyan President Daniel Arap Moi, an act for which he was subsequently detained without trial for six years. Odinga was released in February 1988 but was rearrested seven months later for his involvement with the Kenya Revolutionary Movement (KRM), an underground organization calling for multi-party democracy in Kenya, which was then a one-party state. He was released in June 1989, was re-incarcerated the following month, and finally was released again on June 21, 1991. Four months thereafter he fled to Norway.

In 1992 Odinga returned to Kenya and was elected to his parliamentary post. He served as Minister of Energy from 2001 to 2002, and as Minister of Roads, Public Works and Housing from 2003 to 2005.
In 2007 Odinga, with the political aim of establishing Islamic Law (Sharia) throughout Kenya (where the current population is majority-Christian), challenged incumbent Mwai Kibaki for the office of President. The December 27 election was fraught with irregularities on both sides, and the Kenyan election commission declared Kibaki the winner by a margin of some 230,000 votes.

Odinga protested the results, alleging fraud by the election commission. Two months of violent tribal riots ensued across the country, resulting in the deaths of more than 1,500 people, the displacement of another 600,000, and the destruction of some 800 Christian churches nationwide.

In February 2008, former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan brokered a deal between Odinga and Kibaki; the pair signed a power-sharing agreement calling for the creation of the post of Prime Minister, into which Odinga was sworn on April 17, 2008.

During a New Hampshire campaign stop in the spring of 2008, Barack Obama interrupted his schedule to speak by phone with Odinga. “He has called me to talk about the destabilizing constitutional crisis in this country,” Odinga explained. Obama’s spokesman Robert Gibbs confirmed that this conversation did indeed take place. WorldNet Daily (WND) journalist Jerome Corsi, author of the book The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality, subsequently reported that Obama "was in contact with Odinga almost daily from the New Hampshire primary, by cell phone, calling Kenya."[1]
In October 2008, Corsi traveled to Kenya to learn more about the links between Obama and Odinga. Corsi found: (a) that the pair had been in direct contact on a regular basis since Obama’s 2006 visit to Kenya, where he publicly supported Odinga's candidacy for the presidential election which was to be held the following year; (b) that Obama, knowing Odinga was running on a pro-Sharia platform, had advised the latter on campaign strategy; and (c) that Obama had helped Odinga raise money in theUnited States for his (Odinga's) presidential campaign in 2007.
After having gathered this information, Corsi announced that he would soon hold a news conference to “expose details of deep secret ties between U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and a section of Kenya government leaders, their connection to certain sectoral groups in Kenya, and [the] subsequent plot to be executed in Kenya should Senator Obama win the American presidency.”

Robert Malley

A Harvard-trained lawyer and Rhodes Scholar, Robert Malley is the Middle East and North Africa Program Director for theInternational Crisis Group (ICG), which receives funding from the Open Society Institute (whose founder, Obama supporter George Soros, serves on the ICG Board and Executive Committee).
Prior to joining ICG, Malley served as President Bill Clinton’s Special Assistant for Arab-Israeli Affairs (1998-2001); National Security Advisor Sandy Berger’s Executive Assistant (1996-1998); and the National Security Council’s Director for Democracy, Human Rights, and Humanitarian Affairs (1994-1996).
Malley’s father, Simon Malley, was a key figure in the Egyptian Communist Party. Rabidly anti-Israel, Simon Malley was a confidante of the late PLO leader Yasser Arafat; an inveterate critic of “Western imperialism”; a supporter of various leftist revolutionary “liberation movements,” particularly the Palestinian cause; a beneficiary of Soviet funding; and a supporter of the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

In a July 2001 op-ed, Robert Malley alleged that Israeli -- not Palestinian -- inflexibility had caused the previous year's Camp David peace talks (brokered by Bill Clinton) to fail. This was one of several controversial articles Malley has written -- some he co-wrote with Hussein Agha, a former adviser to Arafat -- blaming Israel and exonerating Arafat for that failure.
Malley’s identification of Israel as the cause of the Camp David failure has been widely embraced by Palestinian and Arab activists around the world, by Holocaust deniers like Norman Finkelstein, and by anti-Israel publications such as Counterpunch.According to American Thinker news editor Ed Lasky, Malley “was also believed to be the chief source for an article [dated July 26, 2001] by Deborah Sontag that whitewashed Arafat’s role in the collapse of the peace process, an article that has been widely criticized as riddled with errors and bias.”
In 2007 Malley became a foreign policy advisor to presidential candidate Barack Obama. In 2008, however, the Obama campaign severed its ties with Malley after the latter told the Times of London that he [Malley] had been in regular contact with Hamas as part of his work for ICG.

Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour
Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour is a Muslim lawyer and a black nationalist who made news in 2008 when it was revealed that he had been a patron of Barack Obama and had recommended the latter for admission to Harvard Law School in 1988.
Before becoming a Muslim, al-Mansour in the 1960s was named Don Warden. He was deeply involved in San Francisco Bay Area racial politics as founder of a group called the African American Association. A close personal adviser to Huey Newton andBobby Seale, al-Mansour helped the pair establish the Black Panther Party but later broke with them when they entered coalitions with white radical groups.

In the mid-1970s al-Mansour met Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Tatal, who today is best known for having offered a $10 million donation toward 9/11 relief efforts in 2001 -- an offer that was rejected by New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani when the prince suggested that the terrorist attacks were an indication that America "should re-examine its policies in the Middle East and adopt a more balanced stand toward the Palestinian cause." Al-Mansour's relationship with the prince eventually led to al-Mansour's hiring as attorney to King Saud. He has since been an adviser to Saudi billionaires who fund the spread of Wahhabi extremism in America.

(Alwaleed bin Tatal)
Al-Mansour is an outspoken hater of the United States, Israel, and white people generally. In recent years he has accused theU.S. of plotting a "genocide" designed "to remove 15 million black people, considered disposable, of no relevance, value or benefit to the American society." He has told fellow blacks that "whatever you do to [white people], they deserve it, God wants you to do it and that's when you cut out the nose, cut out the ears, take flesh out of their body, don't worry because God wants you to do it."

(Al-Mansour)

Obama, Oprah, and the Guru: Malignant NarcissismBy Robert Bowie Johnson, Jr.
Grandiosity, more than anything else, is what characterizes Obama'scharacter and campaign. Grandiosity is also, more than anything else,what characterizes narcissism, and Obama's narcissism has becomeobvious to many.

Tony Blankley refers to Obama's posturing as the "height of hubris."Jeffrey Kuhner writes that Obama "is a self-absorbed narcissist whoportrays himself as a political messiah -- the anointed one." DavidLimbaugh writes of the "unspeakably presumptuous extravaganzas asthose [that] feted Mr. Obama at Berlin and Invesco Field."
In reference to Obama's narcissism, Charles Krauthammer asks, "[H]asthere ever been a presidential nominee with a wider gap between his estimation of himself and the sum total of his lifetime achievements?"
Sam Vaknin, Ph.D., author of Malignant Self Love: Narcissism Revisited, writes that "Barack Obama appears to be a narcissist," and offers a detailed explanation. Obama's entire campaign is nothing more than a demand to be recognized as superior without commensurate accomplishments. For individual instances of the undistinguished senator's grandiosity, please see Barack Obama Audacity Watch.
Two other very reliable witnesses to Obama's narcissism are Oprah Winfrey and her guru, Eckhart Tolle, both themselves pathological narcissists. Delusions of grandeur interpersonally connect Obama,Oprah, and her guru. All three believe they can, even that that they must, change the world for the better, and that means garnering for themselves more and more adulation, what the psychologists call"narcissistic supply."The public record shows this: First, within the minds of Barack and Michelle Obama resides the grandiose, even megalomaniacal notion that they have the power to make the world as-it-is into the world-as-it-should be.
Second, the Obamas look to talk-show host, Oprah Winfrey,as their "global role model" to effect this change. Third, as theObamas' model for change, Oprah relentlessly promotes the grandioseNew Age religion of her guru, Eckhart Tolle.A closer look at these three narcissists and their widely-ignoredinterconnections is in order
The Malignant Narcissism of Oprah's Guru

Oprah's guru Eckhart Tolle is a troubled and troubling individual. He claims to have experienced "a reincarnation as a spiritual teacher" through a self-admitted psychotic episode. He is a case study in the development of the mental illness of malignant narcissism. Like theoriginal Narcissus, Tolle is obsessed with the two-dimensional reflection of himself.
In his The Power of Now, Tolle writes about what he learns from viewing his own image in a mirror: "If you accept the image, no matter what it is, if you become friendly toward it, it cannot not become friendly toward you. This is how you change the world."Here, in a nutshell, Tolle expresses the fundamental delusion and extreme grandiosity of his own malignant narcissism.
Tolle actually believes that he has become the greatest living spiritual teacher by overcoming "egoic delusion." But a mirror image is not true, but backwards. Tolle is not the greatest spiritual teacher in the world as he imagines, but one of the least competent. Such an enormous gap between presumption and reality is characteristic of malignant narcissism.
After Tolle made friends with his backwards image, his New Age doctrine began to jell, and as we might expect, it stands in stark contrast to the Judeo-Christian tradition. The God of the Old Testament is a mere projection of the human mind. Jesus is not the Sonof God, but rather a "rare" human being. "The unconscious majority of the population" must "awaken" (to Tolle's teaching and greatness) and either "evolve or die." The Scriptures are only valid when interpreted by Tolle himself. That belief of his approaches the very ultimate in grandiose imaginings.
Beyond his backwards reflected image, Oprah's guru relies on somethingeven more disturbing to change the world. It is a spirit or a forceTolle calls the "Source" which he claims resides within himself and Oprah, and within all those others who have learned through histeachings to "dissolve" their egos.
That "Source" has told Tolle that the word of the God of the Bible is not reliable, that there is no death, and that he and Oprah both are as God, able to say of themselves "I Am That I Am." These things that the "Source" has told Oprah and Tolle are the exact same things the serpent told Eve in theancient garden (Genesis 3:1-4, New International Version)."I Am that I Am" is the Self-authenticating affirmation from God to Moses out of the burning bush (Exodus 3:13-15). In Hebrew, this is YHVH, or Yahweh, the sacred name of God that is "to be remembered throughout all generations" (Exodus 3:15). Tolle's appropriation ofthis Name to himself is the very ultimate in grandiose imaginings.
Oprah's Malignant Narcissism

Oprah welcomes Tolle's preposterous claims with uncritical gleebecause they justify the adoration of her own backwards and exalted mirror image on her altar of self-worship.
That Oprah is self-obsessed should be obvious. Her image has appeared on every cover of her monthly magazine since it was founded eight years ago. She prays to herself, asking how she can be used "to serve the greater calling that is my life?" She gives thanks for "the life that I have created now."Her giving is always a public production, ultimately about herself and the "good" she is doing.
Even when she says she doesn't want to makeit about her, it's about her. Like her guru, Oprah mocks the Judeo-Christian tradition, insisting that "God is a feeling experience, not a believing experience. If God for you is still about a belief, then it's not truly God."Spirituality to Oprah is not God-centered, but self-centered. She says that spirituality "is about paying attention to your life -- always asking, in every moment, ‘What can I learn from this?'"
Oprah is as delusional as her guru, believing that by spreading Tolle's doctrine and creating a global "new kind of tribe" which looks to her and her guru as saviors, she is "putting [her] ego in check." In reality, Oprah is doing nothing more than promoting a how-to book for latent narcissists.
In March of this year, Oprah intensified her efforts to make the worldas it is the world as it should be by kicking off her ten-week global Internet online class touting Tolle's book, A New Earth, and its importance in raising everyone's "awareness." The interactive Web cast reached 500,000 people in more than 139 countries. Since that time,according to Oprah's Web site, millions more have downloaded Oprah's and Tolle's teachings, helping "human beings, all over the world,bring about a shift in consciousness."
Barack Obama's Malignant Narcissism

On May 20, two months after Oprah's global Internet kickoff, Time magazine published Michelle Obama's tribute to Oprah as part of its100 most influential people of 2008. It read in part: "Oprah is a wonderful friend and an incredible force. Her friendship and support have meant so much to Barack and me . . .
Using her platform to serveas a global role model, she challenges us [Barack and me] to make the world as it is the world as it should be. And she is always the firstto show us how it can be done." What else could Michelle be referring to here but Oprah's most focused project, her global Internet campaign promoting the anti-Christian teachings of her pathologically narcissistic guru?
Three months later, in August, the overlooked imperious theme ofMichelle Obama's convention speech looped right back to her Oprah tribute. That theme, entwined with much family fluff, was "the world as it should be."
Mrs. Obama used that phrase four times, emphasizing that she and Barack are "committed" to "building the world as it should be." Michelle Obama's own carefully considered words, written in Time magazine, tell us that she and her husband imagine that they are going to effect this change by using Oprah Winfrey as their guide,inspiration, and "global role model."When Barack speaks of himself as "a fellow citizen of the world," ishe visualizing world peace becoming a reality through Oprah'sexpanding tribe? Don't doubt it. Michelle introduced Oprah in Iowa prior to Oprah's introducing Obama, gushing that the talk-show queen"touches the souls of so many of us" and "empowers us all." Michelle's"us" included Barack. In his Berlin speech, pretentiously entitled, "A World that Stands as One," the Oprah-empowered Barack said that the"walls between races and tribes; natives and immigrants; Christian and Muslim and Jew cannot stand. These now are the walls we must teardown."
That is exactly what Oprah is all about: promoting the lunacy that Tolle's teaching transcends and unites all religions. Once the Christians, Muslims, and Jews join Oprah's tribe and accept Oprah'sguru as their chief prophet, then Presto: world peace! Like Oprah and her guru, Barack Obama also mocks the Judeo-Christian tradition, claiming to be a "committed Christian" all the while welcoming Oprah's global anti-Christian crusade as a model to follow.(For more on Obama's fake Christianity, see "Obama's Faith, Family andVariable Values Tour" by Jan LaRue").
Let's review the connection between the narcissists: Barack Obamalooks to Oprah Winfrey as his "global role model" for change. To effect this worldwide change, Oprah, in turn, relies on the"infallible" teachings of her guru, Eckhart Tolle.
Tolle, in turn,looks in the mirror and makes friends with the backwards image ofhimself, thus enabling him, and others who see themselves in the samebackwards way (Obama and Oprah), to "change the world."
All three mock the Judeo-Christian tradition. All three are determined to remake the world "as it should be." This is downright insanity, a malignantly narcissistic folie à trois. Counting Michelle Obama, it is a folie à quatre.
Best-selling author Dr. M. Scott Peck referred to malignantnarcissists in his book title as The People of the Lie. Lying is what makes Tolle's, Oprah's, and Obama's narcissism malignant, or evil. True and false, right and wrong, do not have the same meaning tomalignant narcissists as they do to sane people.
What is true and right to the narcissist is whatever brings adoration and respect to his or her backwards, glorious, and depthless image. What is false andwrong is whatever harms that image.Narcissus was an actor, as are all who succumb to his malady of self-obsession. Obama, Oprah, and even Tolle, are now star players on the world stage. The more grandiose the narcissist's image, the bigger thelies required to protect it. Oprah, her guru, and Obama all tell the same huge, egregiously reprehensible lie in different words.
In a Christian nation, they cannot allow themselves to be seen as anti-Christian. That is why Oprah's website introduces her guru's virulently anti-Christian doctrine by asserting that it "is not for or against any religion." Not against Christianity? If the Scripturesappeared in front of Oprah and Tolle on baked clay tablets, they'd be taking sledgehammers to them. Obama would join right in. Referring to himself as a "committed Christian" is essentially the same huge lie Oprah and Tolle tell.It is significant that Obama, Oprah, and Tolle all mock the Judeo-Christian tradition, because that tradition carries with it a standard of truth and conduct.
According to the Ten Commandments, for example,idol worship and lying are wrong. Tolle, Oprah, and Obama, violate those commandments by worshiping their own images and lying to protectthe imagined integrity of those images.
Malignant narcissists cannot tolerate a spiritual or religious system of absolute standards. All morality must be self-referential. Thus, it wasn't the truth that led Oprah to endorse Obama but rather what she called "my own truth." Eckhart Tolle is Oprah's guru only because his mentally deranged worldview validates Oprah's "own truth."In their efforts to remake our planet, Obama, Oprah, and Tolle are not looking toward a world that glorifies God or Christ. They look to bepart of the reign of a different savior.
According to Oprah, not only does Obama always tell the truth, he also knows how "to be the truth,"a straight forward messianic reference. Obama's, Oprah's, and Tolle's "world as it should be" will be one that glorifies the two-dimensional, backwards, grandiose, greedy idol-images of themselves.
Within that morally upside-down world, the walls protecting ourrepublican government and our Judeo-Christian values will crumble --just as Obama said in Berlin that they must -- and our people will besacrificed to the false god of malignant narcissism.
