Not sure any of this is true...but there is something about it that makes me think that it is true.....What do you think? Was Obamas Father a Mau Mau? Happy Rain Posted on 6/2/2012 11:42:25 AM by Happy Rain Obama eating dog is nothing compared to what his father may have consumed during his Mau Mau oath ceremony. TOPICS: Miscellaneous; Your Opinion/Questions KEYWORDS: maumau; obamasr; obamasrcommunist; vanity That the father of our president was a Kenyan Communist is a well documented fact--but little is known about his initiation into this proven evil ideology. At his age Barack Obama senior had to have been introduced to the Chinese Communist (Mau Mau being an affectionate shout-out to the murderer of tens of millions Mao Zedong) version of socialist tyranny in the late 40s or early 50s. Cynically exploiting the primitive phobias and superstitions of the Kikuyu, the Kenyan Chicom Commisars of the Mau Mau made recruits do horrible, depraved and damning things during oath ceremonies so that they were convinced disobedience would result in their paying for the terrible sins they commited during the initiations. What occured during these Mau Mau oath ceremonies would make the Marquis De Sade blush--and I think these traumatic Dreams From My Father may have influenced our president in negative ways--no I dont actually think that. 1 posted on 6/2/2012 11:42:28 AM by Happy Rain [ Post Reply | Private Reply | View Replies] MAU MAU HISTORY LEGACY OF THE MAU MAU Legacy The brutality of the Mau Mau rebellions shocked Britain, who had to deal with a ‘colonial paradise’ entering a bloody period of rebellion. For the small white settler population in Kenya, the climate of fear was palpable as Kenya began a vicious path towards decolonisation. However, the real threat the Mau Mau posed was over by 1956. Key leaders had been captured, and the recruitment from villages, towns and Nairobi had been effectively crushed by a massive British security presence. The Mau Mau, with the majority of their leadership imprisoned, dead or working with the British for rewards, had internal power struggles and existed largely as very small groups of fighters deep inside the Kenyan forest. The Mau Mau never had a widespread appeal within Kenya, but they were a militant wing of the popular movement for self determination for the Kenyan people. Kenyan politics, forced underground throughout the state of Emergency, grew stronger in terms of membership and the clearly defined aim of independence. The Kenyan African National Union emerged as the strongest party, still endorsing Jomo Kenyatta as its leader but with a far wider support than it had ver had before. In 1956, the Mau Mau rebellions were effectively crushed; the British government saw fit to introduce some concessions; there was some land reform granting Kikuyu more land, and there was a relaxation of Africans growing coffee, which was an important cash crop. Steady increases in wages also saw tension alleviated, although there was no quelling the desire for independence. In response to this, the British granted greater concessions, with first elected African representatives in the Legislative Assembly in 1957. However it was not until 1960 that the British established African majority rule after the First Lancaster House Conference, where it soon became clear that independence was inevitable. Britain attempted to mediate a smooth transition to independence over the next 3 years, with a series of conferences (1960, 1962, 1963) at Lancaster House eventually leading to autonomy and the Constitution of Kenya on 12th December 1963. The atrocities committed by both sides of the conflict still resonates today and is something that both countries still wrestle with. Over 100 British settlers and over 200 security personnel were killed by the Mau Mau during the conflict, as well as a far greater number of African dead. The amount of Mau Mau dead was officially around 12,000, with 1096 hung. However, it is quite clear that this is a conservative estimate, and in reality the figure is likely to have been well over 20,000. Popular British perception of the Mau Mau rebellions focuses on the narrative of the brutal Mau Mau acts, rather than its violent suppression. Events such as the Lari massacre drove an opinion that considered the Mau Mau terrorists, who were unjustly fighting a British force which had done much to develop Kenya. More recently, historians have tried to bring focus on the controversy of the British actions, particularly around the claims of government sanctioned torture, the unfair judicial system and the huge number of suspects who were hanged. The ongoing trial concerning allegations of torture against Mau Mau suspects has done much to bring the event back into public focus; otherwise, knowledge of the conflict is limited within popular history. There is a clear case of collective forgetting, with a great deal of unease with remembering a painful separation from the ‘colonial paradise’ that Kenya had once been considered. For Kenya, remembering the conflict has been equally uneasy. With a fragmented tribal society that has erupted into violence on a number of occasions since independence and an equally unstable political leadership, the Mau Mau Rebellions are something that the national conscience still wrestles with. Some still view Mau Mau leaders as heroes of independence, particularly Dedan Kimathi. However, for others the Mau Mau represent an unacceptably militant front, who inflicted great suffering on the wider Kenyan population. Despite the majority of Mau Mau being Kikuyu, they killed their own people with a zeal should they not actively be seen to be supporting the violent cause of rebellion. The unease Kenya as a nation has felt with its Mau Mau heritage is perhaps best shown in the fact that the society remained banned until 2003. The post-colonial norm was for the Mau Mau to be passed over by the government when celebrating liberation from colonialism. It is only since 2001, when important Mau Mau sites were turned into national monuments, that there was official recognition of the Mau Mau as heroes and heroines of independence. Since 2010, ‘Kenayatta Day’, celebrated on 20th September (the date the emergency decree was signed by Baring) was renamed ‘Mashujaa Day’, and specifically celebrates ‘the Mau Mau and other Kenyans who participated in the struggle for independence.’ Post-colonial debate has frequently focused on defending or attacking the conduct of either Britain or the Mau Mau during the rebellions. However, with growing popular discourse over the conflict, and more information available it is an important time to reassess and take a more balanced view of the emergency, which recognises that both sides were guilty in a brutal period of decolonisation. Anderson comments that the Mau Mau rebellions were a conflict of ’atrocity and excess on both sides, a dirty war from which no one emerged with much pride, and certainly no glory’, a fact which is often lost in a wider narrative of Kenyan independence.
