Wayne Madsen Report: Obama helps cousin in Kenya with campaign cash and pressure on opponent

African intelligence sources have reported to WMR that President Barack Obama has personally intervened in the Kenyan presidential election to ensure a victory for trailing candidate of the George Soros-backed Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), Raila Odinga, against his International Criminal Court (ICC)-indicted opponent, Uhuru Kenyatta. Odinga is the son of Obama's father's friend and fellow Luo tribesman Oginga Odinga, a bitter political rival of Uhuru's father, Kenya's founding president, Jomo Kenyatta...

Herein lies a major problem for Obama. If it can be proven that the President of the United States ordered campaign cash sent from the United States to the campaign of a relative, albeit a distant cousin, the president may be in violation of several U.S. laws, including the Foreign Corrrupt Practices Act and laws against international money laundering.

CBSDrone warfare - Jere Van Dyk describes what it is like to find yourself underneath a UAV

Day after day after day when that drone is over head, you don't know from one second to the next if it's going to come down and blow you away and blow everyone around you away, and there is nothing you can do about it. It eats away at you. I still think about it. It tears something inside your soul, that you are totally helpless, that a man or a woman looking at a screen far away like God looking down upon you, and there is nothing you can do...

American JudasSynopsizing Sibel Edmonds - The Evolution of Operation Gladio Part OnePart Two

With the contents of the above series in mind, consider the case of Anwar Al Awlaki...

GuardianThe NYT and Obama officials collaborate to prosecute Awlaki after he's executed

Glenn Greenwald's piece is something of a "limited hang-out" since, while noting that White House sources seek to justify Awlaki's death penalty by way of his unproven association with the "underwear bomber" Abdulmutallab, he fails to mention the very questionable circumstances surrounding that case (i.e. the official who insured that Abdulmutallab boarded the flight) and that of Awlaki himself (in spite of his connections to several of the 9/11 hijackers, he in 2002 had been allowed entry into the U.S. after being briefly detained by the FBI for an arrest warrant, and he enjoyed the privilege of having dinner at the Pentagon as a "moderate muslim"). All of these circumstances would put Awlaki into the orbit of what Edmonds charts out as Gladio Plan B, and would suggest the true motive for his assassination as based on the necessity of eliminating a witness who might have potentially demolished the entire house of cards in the 9/11 cover-up, were he to get his due process.
