Jerome Corsi was in Kenya recently on a fact finding mission. He was
detained by the Kenyan Government and allegedly deported. Sean Hannity
spoke to Mr. Corsi today after Corsi arrived in England. Here are some comments I received on this blog today:
“I just heard that Corsi was on Hannity’s radio program already and said he has a “bombshell” to drop about Obama!!! Did anyone else hear this?”
“BREAKING NEWS!
educatedwhitewoman informs us of PROOF Corsi brought back from Kenya – implicating Obama with Odinga and his masacre! Hannity had Corsi on the phone from London this past hour.”
“Please Inform Mr. Berg that Corsi has secured documentation and Email evidence that connects Obama with Odinga and it shows direct connections and involvement in the Kenyan elections…….
This is a violation of the Logan Act.”
“FYI, Jerome Corse was on the phone today from England on The Sean Hannity Radio Show.
Corse will present paper evidence that Obama communicated via e-mail from his Washington office with a member of the Kenyan Government; instructing that Kenyan official how to deal with an election if you loose. EG, Claim voter fraud, riots and the like.”
Approximately two months ago, this blog and the Petition to Impeach, expel
Senator Obama site received a document and story regarding Obama’s visit
to Kenya in 2006 as well as a document leaked from the ODM party of
Raila Odinga. From the comments above, it appears that Jerome Corsi may
have the same document that was revealed on this blog almost two months
ago.
Here is the Citizen Wells article with a copy of the ODM game plan:

Is this the document that Jerome Corsi has?
I have referred to this document several times in articles that compare
the strategy of the Obama camp to that of Raila Odinga and the ODM party.
The full document can be viewed at the above link. Here is some of the
text of the ODM Game plan:

2. Preamble
2.0
The just conclude ODM Presidential nominations have ended the speculation and
competition within the ODM ranks with Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga (hereinafter
referred to as the Candidateî) emerging as the Partyís presidential torch bearer. The
enthusiasm and overacting support extended towards the Candidate have debunked
the myth that
a
As a member of the Luo community Hon Raila Odinga is not electable to thepresidency in Kenya
This document is intended to provide the conceptual guidelines and roadmap for
the periods leading up to the presidential elections set for December 2007. This
document notes the challenges and obstacles likely to confront the Candidate.

resources country-wide political network, experience and strong following
in the Rift Valley.
.
Kibakis incumbency and track record
.
The financial muscle of the Mt Kenya elite and their potential to play
rough and dirty.
The following pages outline a strategy for overcoming the odds and delivering the presidency
to Hon Raila Odinga and ODM in the December elections.
Strengths
•
Hon Raila is charismatic and ambitious
•
Kenyans appreciate him as a fearless crusader for truth, justice and democracy
•
Has no publicly debated allegations of corruption
•
Great crowd puller/mobiliser/entertainer
•
Descends from a legendary family
•
100% devoted following of the Luo community
•
Recognized as the individual best credited with the incumbent election to
President in 2002
•
Won the 2005 Constitution Referendum

nomadism
•
•
Association with Communism
•
Potential for linkage to the underdevelopment in Nyanza
•
•
The 1982 coup
•
Acrimonious parting of ways with Wamalwa Kijana (Luhya Western) Moi
(Kalenjin, Rift Valley) Kibaki (Gema, Mt Kenya region) and Kalonzo
(Kamba , Eastern)
•

Kisumu and implications of corruption as alleged by the Ndungu Report
Opportunities

•
Capitalize on matters related to the dishonoured MoU of 2002
•
Take advantage of Mwai Kibakisí Laziness and laidback attitude

Exploit anti-Kikuyu sentiments
•
Leverage the vulnerability of the Kibaki administration responses to corruption
matters as the Anglo-leasing and Goldenberg scandal. Seize this
opportunity to confront him with a powerful anti-corruption campaign message
•
Ditto the £130b stashed away by Kanu leaders
•
Artur brothers and their raid to the Standard Group
Threats
•
The Candidates religion and perceived state of religiosity
•
The publicís perception of the candidateís Communism
•
Kibera in his Langata constituency is the least developed and most volatile area of
Nairobi

DEDUCTION
Based on the above SWOT
a the Candidateís Strengths and Opportunities significantly outweigh hisweaknesses.
b The Candidates/Party popularity is imminent should we recreate andmaintain the euphoria achieved during the 2005 Constitutional Referendum
and in the last General Election.
RECOMMENDED ACTION PLAN
The Grand Entrance
As earlier agreed in order that our candidate campaigns commence with impact, it is necessary
that he exit Kenya to lay foundation for a grand home coming similar to Matibasin 1992 and Kibakis in 2002. Whereas the party has identified areas such as Nigeria and
Middle East as regions of interest, it is recommended that the Candidate focus on Europeand the United States where Diaspora is active) for this purpose. A lengthy absence will
starve the country of Hon Raila and stimulate an outpouring of adoration that will take usto victory.
Kikuyu Alienation
Owing to this strategyís success during the 2005 referendum, it is the partyís position itshould be utilized once more for the General Election. There is overwhelming feeling
among the non-Gema communities that the Kikuyu are selfish bigots dedicated to a tribalhegemony who will never share the spoils of government with other communities. Underpinning
this strategy is the blessing that ODM campaign has able pointmen in Mudavadi,
Ruto, Balala and Ntimama who can efficiently galvanize their respective communities
around the anti-kikuyu initiative. Concurrently, every effort must be made to undermine
Kalonzo in order to prevent him from emerging as an alternative avenue for antikikuyu
sentiment. In this regard, particular caution should be placed on regions such asRVP where Kalonzo has the potential of attracting some of our votes. Anti-Kikuyuism
must be reinforced with promises of jobs and economic gains to key players from everycommunity supporting this initiative.
The Class Issue
It is possible to trigger a class war by painting the Kibaki Government as an insensitive,
uncaring group of Muthaiga Golf clubbers. Available research also suggests that this
strategy could also resonate with poor kikuyu youth who feel economically marginalized
by their own government. As part of this strategy the party should seek to elevate the
emotions within all youth constituents who may it successful, be willing to vote for us inthe protest. Visible signs of class disparity will provide important fodder for this theme.
Pro-West
It is absolutely essential that through out this campaign, Raila remain aligned to theWestern Countries (such as the United States) in order to take advantage of the deteriorating
relationship between them and Kibaki. ODM can expect both financial and politicalsupport particularly from the United States.
Pull All Plugs
This being the contest of a lifetime, the party should employ all available means to ensurea victory. Subterranean campaigns will therefore form a critical component of our activi
ties. Corruption in the Kibaki Government, the mess of Kibakis domestic situation and
the soap opera of the Artur brothers provide ready material for this war.
The Media
Since 2005, the Orange team has maintained intimate contacts across all media. Even
though a number of senior media managers are active in our campaigns, we should establish
strongest Media Centre possible, manned by local and international experts. Indeed,
we must approach this issue with the understanding that victory in the media war could
very well mean victory at the polls.
Identify the Fixers.
There is no doubt that the key regional point men are invaluable to this campaign as
without them the whole thing could tumble. In order\ to insulate the candidate from attacks
on his person, not all advertising and campaign efforts should be focused on him.
At the same time, all possible efforts should be used to retain discipline among the party
leadership, including reminding them of their vulnerability.
Funding
Tap into pledged funding from external donors including Federal Republic of Nigeria,
Germany, the United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Libya, The Democratic Republic of
Congo as well as individual /institutional caucuses such as GTZ network, Cyril Ramaphosa,
the Deya Ministries and US Republicans among others.
