Caroline Kennedy

Caroline Bouvier Kennedy[2][3] (born November 27, 1957)[4] is an American author and attorney. She is a member of the influential Kennedy family and the only living child of U.S. President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy.
At the time of her father's presidency, she was a young child; after his assassination in 1963, her family settled in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, where she attended school. Kennedy graduated from Radcliffe College and worked at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art, where she met her future husband, exhibit designer Edwin Schlossberg. She went on to receive a J.D. degree from Columbia Law School. Kennedy's professional life has spanned law and politics as well as education and charitable work. She has also acted as a spokesperson for her family's legacy and co-authored two books on civil liberties with Ellen Alderman.
In the 2008 presidential election, Kennedy endorsed Democratic candidate Barack Obama for President early in the primary race; she later stumped for him in Orlando, Indiana, and Ohio, served as co-chair of his Vice Presidential Search Committee, and addressed the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver.[5] After Obama's selection of then-Senator Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, Kennedy expressed interest in being appointed to Clinton's vacant Senate seat from New York, but she later withdrew from consideration, citing "personal reasons".

Early life and childhood
A year after her parents had a stillborn daughter named Arabella, Caroline Kennedy was born at Cornell Medical Center in New York City. She was named after her maternal aunt, Caroline Lee Bouvier Radziwill, and her maternal great-grandmother, Caroline Ewing Bouvier. Her younger brother, John, Jr., was born three years later. A second brother, Patrick, died of a lung ailment two days after his premature birth in 1963. Caroline and John, Jr. lived with their parents in the Washington, D.C. neighborhood of Georgetown. In 1961, when Caroline was only three years old, her father was sworn in as President of the United States and the family moved into the White House. Caroline attended kindergarten in classes organized by her mother, Jackie and was often photographed riding her pony Macaroni around the White House grounds. A photo of a young Caroline with Macaroni in a news article inspired singer-songwriter Neil Diamond to write his hit song "Sweet Caroline," a fact he revealed only when performing it for her 50th birthday in November 2007.[6] As a small child in the White House, she was the recipient of numerous gifts from dignitaries including a puppy from Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev and a Yucatán pony from Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson.[7] Historians described Caroline's personality as a child as "a trifle remote and a bit shy at times" yet "remarkably unspoiled."[8] "She's too young to realize all these luxuries", Rose Kennedy said of her granddaughter. "She probably thinks it's natural for children to go off in their own airplanes. But she is with her cousins, and some of them dance and swim better than she. They do not allow her to take special precedence. Little children accept things."[9]

 
On the day of their father's assassination on November 22, 1963, nanny Maud Shaw took Caroline and John, Jr., away from the White House to the home of their maternal grandmother, Janet Auchincloss, who insisted that Shaw be the one to tell Caroline about her father's assassination. That evening, Caroline and John, Jr., were brought back to the White House, and with Caroline in bed, Shaw broke the news to her. However, the new president, Lyndon B. Johnson, had already written letters to Caroline and John, Jr., telling them about the assassination and that they could "always be proud" of their father.[10] Shaw subsequently found out that their mother had wanted to be the one to tell the children, which caused a rift between the nanny and Mrs. Kennedy.[11] In December 1963, Jackie, Caroline, and John, Jr. moved from the White House back to Georgetown. Their home soon became a popular tourist attraction in Washington and they moved to a penthouse apartment on Fifth Avenue on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in mid-1964. In May 1967, Kennedy christened the United States Navy aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy in a widely publicized ceremony in Newport News, Virginia.[12]

In 1975, Kennedy was visiting London to complete a nine-month art course at the Sotheby's auction house. On October 23, a car bomb placed by the IRA under the car of her host, Conservative MP Hugh Fraser, exploded shortly before Kennedy and Fraser were due to leave for their daily drive to Sotheby's. Caroline was running late and had not yet left the house, but a passerby, oncologist Gordon Hamilton-Fairley, was killed.[13]

Education and personal life
Kennedy attended The Brearley School and Convent of the Sacred Heart in New York City and, in 1975, graduated from Concord Academy in Massachusetts.[14] In 1980, she received her Bachelor of Arts from Radcliffe College at Harvard University.[15] In 1988, she received a Juris Doctor from Columbia Law School, graduating in the top ten percent of her class.[16] During college, Kennedy "considered becoming a photojournalist, but soon realized she could never make her living observing other people because they were too busy watching her."[17] At the 1976 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria, she was a Photographer's Assistant.[17] In 1977, she became a summer intern at the New York Daily News, earning $156 a week, "fetching coffee for harried editors and reporters, changing typewriter ribbons and delivering messages."[18] Kennedy reportedly "sat on a bench alone for two hours the first day before other employees even said hello to her"; and, according to Richard Licata, a former News reporter, "Everyone was too scared."[17]
In addition, Kennedy wrote for Rolling Stone about visiting Graceland shortly after the death of Elvis Presley.[17] After graduating from college in 1980, Kennedy was hired as a Research Assistant in the Film and Television Department of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. She later became a "liaison officer between the museum staff and outside producers and directors shooting footage at the museum", helping coordinate the Sesame Street special Don't Eat the Pictures.[19] While at her museum job, Kennedy met her future husband and exhibit designer, Edwin Schlossberg.[20] Kennedy and Schlossberg were married on July 19, 1986,[4] at Our Lady of Victory Church in Centerville, Massachusetts. Kennedy's matron of honor was her cousin, Maria Shriver; while her paternal uncle, Edward M. "Ted" Kennedy, walked her down the aisle. Although Kennedy is often incorrectly referred to as "Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg", she did not change her name when she married.[2][3] Kennedy and Schlossberg have three children: Rose, Tatiana, and John.[21] Kennedy owns her mother's 375-acre (1.52 km2) estate known as Red Gate Farm in Aquinnah (formerly Gay Head) on the island of Martha's Vineyard. The New York Daily News estimated Kennedy's net worth in 2008 at over $100 million.[22]
Living in New York City and somewhat apart from their Hyannisport cousins,[23] Caroline and John, Jr. were very close, especially after their mother's death on May 19, 1994.[24] John, Jr. later died in a plane crash on July 16, 1999, leaving Caroline the sole survivor of the former President's immediate family.

ジョン・F・ケネディ

ジョン・フィッツジェラルド(“ジャック”)・ケネディ英語: John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy, 1917年5月29日 - 1963年11月22日)は、第35代アメリカ合衆国大統領
第二次世界大戦では南太平洋魚雷艇を指揮し、困難な状況下で部下をまとめ生還させたことで新聞に取り上げられ英雄となった。戦後に父のジョセフ・P・ケネディ・シニアの支援により政界入りした。マサチューセッツ州選出下院議員選挙に民主党から立候補し当選し、1947年から1953年まで下院議員をつとめた。1953年から1960年までは同州選出の上院議員を務めた。1960年アメリカ合衆国大統領選挙に民主党指名候補として出馬したケネディは、共和党リチャード・ニクソンを僅差で破り大統領に当選した。
大統領就任時に43歳であったケネディは合衆国の歴史上、選挙で選ばれた大統領としては最も若い大統領であった。副大統領からの昇格を含めればセオドア・ルーズベルトに次いで二番目となる。ケネディは20世紀生まれの最初の大統領であり、カトリック教徒として初の(現在までで唯一の)大統領であり、アイルランド系アメリカ人としても最初の大統領である。ピューリツァー賞を受賞した唯一の大統領でもある。ケネディは大統領在任中にピッグス湾事件キューバ危機ベルリンの壁の建設、米ソの宇宙開発競争など多くの歴史的事件に取り組んだ。
ケネディは1963年11月22日にテキサス州ダラスで遊説中に暗殺された。犯人として逮捕されたリー・ハーヴェイ・オズワルドは、二日後にジャック・ルビーによって射殺された。FBIウォーレン委員会下院暗殺特別委員会のいずれもオズワルドによる単独犯行であるという結論を出している一方で、多くの陰謀論も唱えられている。

生い立ち
ジョン・F・ケネディは1917年5月29日にマサチューセッツ州ブルックラインで、アイルランド系移民で実業家のジョセフ・P・ケネディ・シニアローズ・フィッツジェラルド・ケネディ夫妻の次男として生まれた。名前は母方の祖父でアイルランド系アメリカ人の有力者であり、ボストン市長と下院議員を務めたジョン・F・フィッツジェラルドにちなんでいる。
ケネディは10歳までブルックラインで暮らしたが、体が弱い子だった。生まれつき背骨に障害があり、怪我をしやすく、しばしば激しい苦痛に襲われた[3]。三歳の時に猩紅熱にかかった際には、母ローズが教会に通ってその回復を祈るほどであった[4]。ケネディはエドワード・デボーション・スクール (Edward Devotion School) の幼稚舎から小学校へあがり、デクスター・スクール (Dexter School) へ転校し、父の引越しに伴ってニューヨークのリバーデール・カントリー・スクール (Riverdale Country School) に転校した。1930年、13歳のケネディはカトリックの寄宿学校であるカンタベリー・スクールCanterbury Schoolコネティカット州ニューミルフォード)に入学したが体調不良になり、一年後に家に送り返された。父はケネディを兄ジョセフ・P・ケネディ・ジュニアの在籍していたチョート校(現在のチョート・ローズマリー・ホール)に転校させた。兄に対して激しいコンプレックスを持っていたケネディにとってチョート校での日々も鬱屈したものになり、学校では「モッカー」(校則違反者)というあだ名をつけられた。また、当時のアイルランド系が主に就いていた廃品回収業の蔑称「マッカーズ」を名乗り、相当な悪戯好きでもあった。卒業の前年には再び体調を崩し、消化器の障害と判断され、ステロイドの投与を受けた。第二次世界大戦後には副腎機能不全(アジソン病)で苦しむが、常に日焼けしたような皮膚の色であったのはその症状の一つであり、このときの大量のステロイド投与が原因であるとの説もある[5]。ケネディは生涯、背骨の痛みに悩まされた。ケネディ家では「大学時代のフットボール中の怪我が原因」とされていたが、実際のケネディはとてもフットボールなどできる健康状態ではなく、ケネディの生来の腰痛を隠すためともいわれている[6]
1935年にチョート校を卒業したケネディは兄と同じようにロンドン・スクール・オブ・エコノミクスハロルド・ラスキ教授のもとで学んだが、すぐに体調を崩して「黄疸」の診断を受けて帰国した[7]。兄のいたハーバード大学を避けてプリンストン大学に入学したが、ここでも体調不良で白血病の診断を受け通学できなくなり入院している。翌年改めてハーバード大学に入学した。ケネディの成績ではハーバード大学入学は不可能だったが、父の尽力で入学できた。在学中の成績は落第ぎりぎりであった[8]
ハーバード在学中に父が在イギリスアメリカ合衆国大使に任命されたこともあり、ケネディは二度ヨーロッパを旅行して見聞を広めた。1939年にベルリンを訪れた際には、駐ベルリン米大使のアレックス・カークから「開戦近し」のメッセージをロンドンの父に届けている。卒業論文はミュンヘン会談を扱った『ミュンヘンの宥和』 (Appeasement at Munich) であった。ケネディがこの論文を父に送ると、父は自らのスピーチライターであるハービー・クレマーに推敲させ、さらに自らの御用記者としていた『ニューヨーク・タイムズ』のコラムニスト、アーサー・クロックに送った。クロックはさらに原稿を手直しし、チャーチルの著書『英国が眠っている間に』(While England Slept) を踏まえて『英国は何故眠ったか』(Why England Slept) というタイトルをつけた。父は『タイム』を創刊した保守派ジャーナリストのヘンリー・ルースに序言を書いてもらい1940年に出版した。ケネディは優等の成績で1940年6月にハーバードを卒業した[9]。『英国は何故眠ったか』はイギリスとアメリカで8万部が売れた。ケネディはイギリスの分の利益をドイツ空軍により爆撃され被害を受けたばかりだったプリマス市に寄付した。

就任式
1961年1月20日に第35代大統領に宣誓就任した。就任演説において、アメリカ人がみな「アクティブ・シチズン」である必要を語った。「祖国があなたに何をしてくれるかを尋ねてはなりません、あなたが祖国のために何をできるか考えて欲しい」と演説し、さらに「人類の共通の敵」である暴政・貧困・疾病および戦争と戦うために共に参加してくれるよう世界の国家に依頼した[30]。この就任演説における「アクティブ・シチズン」の部分はその後高い評価を受け、現在に至るまで様々な形で引用されている。また「祖国があなたに何をしてくれるかを―」のくだりは、「世界の皆さん、アメリカがあなたに何をしてくれるかではなく、人類のために共に何が出来るか考えて欲しい。我々があなたに求めているのと同じ高いレベルの強さと犠牲を我々にも要求してください」と続き、国家の側の責任についても明言している。

「平和部隊」
ケネディが最初に行ったことのうちの1つは「平和部隊」を作ることだった。志願した人々によって実行されるこのプログラムは、下記のような批判を受けながら今日まで存続している。「教育、農業、ヘルスケアおよび建設の部門で友好国の支援にあたる」とされるこのプログラムは、その実績が出る前から「世界の至る所での多くの人々の尊敬を勝ち取った」とケネディによって自画自賛された。
しかし実際はこの「平和部隊」は、「アメリカによる過剰な他国への介入の象徴」として世界各国から拒否、批判される事が多く、実際にアメリカ企業の進出の地盤固めとして機能しているという指摘も多い。

人種差別問題
ケネディは大統領権限でできることとして、アフリカ系アメリカ人を積極的に連邦政府の幹部に任命した。その結果司法省では黒人の連邦検事は10人から70人に増え、また連邦判事もゼロから5人に増えた。また、企業や労働組合に対しても黒人を積極的に雇うよう働きかけた。連邦政府の補助金を受けている病院や図書館での差別は大統領府令によって禁止し、連邦雇用局に対しては白人だけを雇う企業の求人を拒否するよう命じた。さらに、ケネディは黒人の選挙権に対する2つの南部の悪習を撤廃させるよう努力した[40]
連邦最高裁は、1954年に、公立学校の中での人種の分別を違憲とする判決を下した(ブラウン判決)。しかしながら、特に南部の州には、この決定に従わなかった多くの学校があった。1962年、ジェームズ・メレディスという黒人学生がミシシッピ州立大学に入学しようとして拒否される事件が起き、ケネディは軍隊を動員して人種差別主義者の暴動を鎮圧した(メレディス事件)[41]。この事件後、黒人学生を認めなかったほかの南部諸州も黒人学生の受け入れをはじめたが、アラバマ州知事のジョージ・ウォレスだけは違った[42]。カッツェンバックが大統領布告を読み上げ、州兵の司令官が連邦政府の任務遂行を妨害するなら逮捕すると宣告し、ウォレスはようやく引き下がった。これにより全米50州の中で黒人学生を締め出す州はなくなった。
ケネディは、アラバマ州立大学に2人の黒人学生が入学した1963年6月11日夕方、公民権運動を助けるためにより強い処置を講ずる時期が来たと決断し、議会へ新しい公民権法案を提案、テレビで大統領執務室から直接国民に訴えかけた。「エイブラハム・リンカーン(第16代大統領)が奴隷を解放して以来100年間の猶予が過ぎた、彼らの相続人、彼らの孫は完全に自由ではない」と言った[43]。この公民権法はケネディ政権下では成立しなかったが、人種差別廃絶に対し積極的な姿勢を持っていたジョンソン政権下で議会を通過し、1964年公民権法として成立することとなった。1963年8月28日にキング牧師がワシントン大行進I Have a Dreamの演説を行った後、ケネディはキングをホワイトハウスに招待し、「私も夢見ている」と語った。

ジョセフ・P・ケネディ

以下抜粋:

ジョセフ・パトリック・“ジョー”・ケネディ・シニア(Joseph Patrick "Joe" Kennedy, Sr.、1888年9月6日 - 1969年11月18日)はアメリカ合衆国政治家実業家、第35代大統領ジョン・F・ケネディの父として知られる。「ジョー」は「ジョセフ」の短縮形
巨大な資産をバックグランドにした民主党の大物政治家であり、アメリカのカトリック教徒および、アイルランド系アメリカ人の実力者でもあった。フランクリン・ルーズベルトの大統領選出時(1932年)に財政支援を行った功によって、初代証券取引委員会委員長(1934年)、連邦海事委員会委員長(1936年)、在イギリスアメリカ合衆国大使(1938年~1940年)の任命を受けた。
1888年、ボストンにアイルランド系政治家の子として生まれたジョセフ・P・ケネディ・シニアは、ボストン・ラテン・スクールからハーバード大学に進み、金融業につくと株式市場を利用して莫大な財産を築いた。この財産を元手にさまざまな資産を運用するようになった。第一次世界大戦中、ケネディはベスレヘム・スチール社の造船部門の支配人補佐となり、海軍次官補だったフランクリン・ルーズベルトと知り合った。その後、映画産業に食指を動かし、いくつかの映画会社を統合してRKOを設立する過程で一財産築いた。さらに1933年に禁酒法が廃止されると、ルーズベルト大統領の長男と組んでサマセット社という会社を設立、ジンとスコッチの輸入を一手にとりまとめさらなる富を生み出した。1945年には建設当時世界最大のビルだったシカゴマーチャンダイズ・マートビルを買い取ったことでも有名になった。
しかし外交官および政治家としての活躍は唐突に終わる。1940年11月、バトル・オブ・ブリテンのさなかに行われたボストン・グローブ紙のインタビューで「英国で民主主義は終わった。米国にはまだあるかもしれない」と発言したことが大問題となったためだった。以後ケネディは表舞台には出ず、豊富な資産を運用して息子たちの政界進出を強力にバックアップした。しかし豪腕で知られたケネディも、1961年に73歳で脳梗塞の発作を起こし、言語と身体が不自由になると第一線を退き、1969年11月18日に家族にみとられながら世を去った。
子供たちには、大統領になった次男「ジャック」(ジョン・F・ケネディ)だけでなく、政界入りさせようとしていたが海軍での軍務中に不慮の死を遂げた長男「ジョー・ジュニア」(ジョセフ・P・ケネディ・ジュニア)、兄ジャックの下で司法長官をつとめた後に上院議員となり大統領選の予備選最中に暗殺された三男「ボビー」(ロバート・F・ケネディ)、末弟でありながら30歳の若さで上院議員となった四男「テッド」(エドワード・M・ケネディ)、スペシャルオリンピックスの創設者の一人である三女ユーニス・ケネディ、駐アイルランド米国大使を務めた五女ジーン・ケネディがおり、孫には下院議員ジョセフ・パトリック・ケネディ2世(ボビーの子)、パトリック・ジョセフ・ケネディ2世(テッドの子)など多くの政治家を輩出し、その国民的人気によって一族は「ケネディ王朝」と称された。

一族の出自と生い立ち
ジョー(ジョセフ・P・ケネディ・シニア)は父パトリック・J・ケネディ、母メアリー・オーガスタ・ヒッキーの長男としてマサチューセッツ州ボストンに生まれた。父は実業家であり、アイルランド系アメリカ人コミュニティーの指導者として知られていた。ジョーの祖父パトリック・ケネディ1849年にアイルランドからアメリカ合衆国に移住してきたため、ジョーはアメリカ移住後の三代目であった。移住後、一族はアメリカ社会でのステータスを少しずつあげていったが、依然としてボストンではアイルランド系は上流階級を形成するイギリス系プロテスタント市民(「ボストン・ブラーミン」と呼ばれた)からはよそ者扱いであった。パトリック・J・ケネディは民主党員として1885年にマサチューセッツ州選出下院議員に当選した。
ジョーが生まれたとき、すでにケネディ家は裕福であり、ボストンのみならず東海岸において影響のある一族であった。父パトリックは長男ジョーに期待をかけ、一流校であるボストン・ラテン・スクールに進ませた。同校がボストンのプロテスタント系エスタブリッシュメントの牙城ともいうべき学校であったことから、両親がジョーに対してカトリックの枠にとどまらずに、さらなる社会的飛躍を遂げることを望んでいたことがうかがえる。ジョーの成績は決してよくなかったが、クラスメートから人気があったらしく、級長に選ばれたという記録が残っている。ジョーはハーバード大学に進学した時、ヘイスティ・プディング・クラブデルタ・ウプシロン・クラブには加入できたが、ポースリアン・クラブのような一流クラブからは入会を拒絶された。[1]
ジョーはハーバード時代、野球部で活躍したとよく喧伝したが、実際には1年次以降チームに入れず、4年の最終試合の9回にファーストとして出場したのみであった(最終試合に出場した選手にはハーバード野球チームの紋章がもらえることになっていたため、ジョーは卒業後の進路の話をちらつかせてキャプテンを説得し、なんとか出場させてもらえたというのが真相であった)。このとき、ファーストで最後のアウトをとったジョーがウィニングボールを勝利投手に渡さずに、ポケットに入れて帰ったことが、その人となりを表すものとして語り草になった。[2]

Meet Malik! Obama’s Oldest Brother – Updated

Posted on by | 35 Comments


© Miri WTPOTUS September 19, 2011

A recent story at World Net Daily documented some shady business concerning the eldest brother of President Barack Hussein Obama II. Malik Obama’s charity foundation, which he named after their father, received an unexplained retroactive reprieve by the IRS, no doubt courtesy of his declared half-brother Barack. But before we get into that story, let’s examine some of what we here at WTPOTUS have learned over the years about Abon’go Malik Obama (aka Roy Obama, aka Abdul Malik Hussein Obama, aka Al-Malik Hussein Obama).

O Brother, who art thou?

Malik was born March 15, 1958, to Barack Hussein Obama (BHO Sr., aka Barry Wuod Akumu Nyanjoga Obama) and his first wife Kezia (or Keziah) Aoko “Grace” Nyandega.
Not long afterward, his father departed for the United States, to study at the University of Hawaii Manoa, where he allegedly met and married Stanley Ann Dunham, the purported mother of the current president of the United States. The family told reporters in 2004 that BHO Sr. left for the US in 1959, where he worked for an oil company, studied at the U of Hawaii, and met and married a white woman named Anna Toot.
Malik and his mother, it’s said, remained behind in Kenya. At the time of BHO Sr.’s departure, Kezia was pregnant with their daughter, Auma Marie “Rita” Obama (aka Dr. Rita Obama, aka Auma Saidi), who was born in January 1960. See our O Timeline for details and links to sources. In 1962, on immigration paperwork, BHO Sr. stated that he had only one child, Roy (Malik).


Kezia

Malik attended elementary school in Alego Kogelo, at what is now the Senator Barack Obama Primary School, renamed in 2006. About 1967, Malik and his sister Auma moved into the large Woodley Estates home, in Nairobi, where BHO Sr. lived with his second American wife, Ruth Beatrice Baker Obama Ndesandjo. Malik and Auma attended private schools. Malik’s mother Kezia worked as a waitress and lived elsewhere, Alego or perhaps Shauri Moyo in Nairobi. Various other members of the extended Obama family came and went at the relatively posh home–certainly posh compared to conditions in the Obama ancestral village.

Ruth Beatrice Baker

According to the Sally Jacobs biography of Barack Sr. (p. 232), in 1973 Malik was attending the prestigious Lenana high school, a boarding school in Nairobi(formerly known as the Duke of York school). Malik is not listed by Wikipedia as being among Lenana’s distinguished alumnae. Jacobs reports that BHO Sr.’s wife Ruth (who reportedly came from a prominent New England family) paid Malik’s tuition. Jacobs also averred that Ruth was the only real “mummy” that Malik and Auma ever knew.

Malik remained in Kenya at least until 1977, where he was spotted visiting his father at his apartment, after BHO Sr.’s separation from Ruth.


Auma Obama


Sometime before his death, allegedly in 1984, David Opiyo Obama Ndesandjo, second son of Ruth and BHO Sr., ran away from home. It was on the streets that Malik is said to have found David and took him under his wing, becoming his refuge and mentor in the ways of pan-Africanism and possibly Islam. Before Malik moved to the US, he studied at a “madrasah in Nairobi.” In his admittedly semi-fictional memoir, Dreams from My Father (p. 265), Barack stated that Malik got a degree in accounting from the University of Nairobi.
It’s said that David Opiyo died in a motorcycle accident, but the year changes, depending upon the source. To date we’ve seen no independent confirmation of this event–no news story, no photo of his grave. Why was he not buried next to his father and grandfather, especially because he embraced his African roots? In some versions of the story, Ruth’s family blamed Malik for David’s death, because Malik and David had been out on the town together that fateful evening. Malik was drinking and carousing, and ended up being arrested. David borrowed his motorbike to get home, according to Barack’s book. Not long afterward, Malik left Kenya for the USA.
Coming to America
By 1985, Malik was in the USA, because Barack, who at the time worked in Chicago as a community organizer, traveled to Washington, DC, to visit him. Malik admitted meeting Barack in the USA, ”for the first time” in 1985. WND tells us that
A private investigative report … shows that Roy Obama has been identified since 1988 with 22 different rental addresses in the Washington, D.C., area, including addresses in Prince Georges County and Montgomery County, Md.
Malik’s mother, Kezia, says she first met Barack in Kenya, when he visited in 1985. But an African news article stated that Barack first went to Kenya in 1983, “to mourn his late father,” who died the year before.
 
Did Malik return to the USA with Barack in 1983? Or did they travel together to Kenya to meet the family in 1985?
 
 
Aunt Zeituni
 
Why did Malik come to the USA? What drew him? Was it the presence of his long “lost” illegal alien Uncle Omar?

But Malik lived in Maryland, while Omar lived in Massachusetts from the time he arrived around 1963. Omar (aka Obama Onyango) was in Cambridge in 1971; he was still there in 1987, according to an IRS lien against him for non-payment of taxes. Aunt Zeituni Onyango came and went, too, but she also lived in Massachusetts.

What exactly did Malik do for a living in Washington, DC, from 1985 until he returned to Kenya? Did he work as an accountant, as one story implied? Where did he work?

Was Malik sponsored by his brother Barack who, despite official accounts, may have met Malik and the rest of the Kenyan family in Kenya, after the death of their father? Or was Malik here illegally, too, like Uncle Omar and Aunt Zeituni?



How old does he look there? 22? Certainly a very young man. This in-depth story seems to indicate that Barack did go to Kenya shortly after his father’s death:

Jane Obonyo, Keziah’s sister, was the woman who telephoned the future US president to inform him about his father’s death. … It was Keziah Obama’s daughter, Auma Obama, who picked him up from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. She took him to Jane’s residence in Kariokor flats where Keziah Obama also lived. … During this visit the future president also lived with Auma (Keziah’s daughter) at her residence in the plush suburb of Kileleshwa in Nairobi. … Keziah had started living in the Kariokor flats with her sister Jane shortly after the burial of Dr. Obama in 1982. Her biological son, Abongo Obama travelled to the US. … Abo and Ben Obama, the younger sons of Keziah were teens at the time and … Auma Obama was studying at a German university where she later earned a doctoral degree.
Another story from an African journal flat out states that Barack was in Kenya in 1982 for the funeral. So it seems that Barack visited Kenya before Malik moved to the USA. Some speculate that there was a dual purpose to this trip, which hints at the reason for the obfuscation: In order to keep his Kenyan citizenship, Barack would have had to travel to Kenya to swear an oath of allegiance upon reaching the age of majority. Only then could he keep his Kenyan passport (if he had one, that is). Nobody knows (who’s telling) what nation’s passport Barack used on his many overseas trips to Pakistan, Indonesia, Kenya, and Japan, among other destinations.
Public records shed more light on Malik’s life here in America. A private investigator learned that Malik has a Social Security number and that it was issued between 1985 and 1987. But then, again, so did Aunt Zeituni and Uncle Omar–both illegally in the United States.
In March of 1988, Montgomery General Hospital filed a complaint in the District Court of Montgomery County, Maryland, against defendant Roy A. Obama of 8623 Flower Ave, Takoma Park, MD.
An American Wife?
In July of 1990, Roy Abon Go Obama of 7244 Landover Road #C, Landover, MD 20785, filed for divorce in the Circuit Court for Prince George’s County, MD. The respondent/defendant was Mary K. Cole of 5200 Silver Hill Road, Forestville, MD 20747. The case number was CAD90-16597, Obama vs Cole. The divorce was uncontested and granted by Judge Ernest Loveless on October 10, 1990. Records do not show the date of marriage.
Was Mary K. Cole a U.S. citizen? It seems likely, given her surname. Did they have children? Not mentioned in the court records that are available online. This story says that when Barack met Malik, he was married to an “American Peace Corps worker.” Mary was likely that particular wife, unless Malik was married to more than one American woman at the same time.
Which begs these questions: Did Malik meet Mary through her work for the Peace Corps? Did their marriage give him a ticket to the promised land of America? Did their marriage allow him to become a citizen of the USA, if he is a citizen?

A Name Change
In November of 1991, Malik filed in Prince George’s County, Maryland, to officially change his name from Roy Abon Go Obama (aka Abon Go Malik Obama) to Abon’go Malik Obama. Malik still lived at 7244 Landover Rd, #C, in Landover, MD. On March 7, 1992, Judge Ahalt granted his request. The case number was CAE91-22380.

The next year, Malik served as best man at his half-brother Barack’s wedding, in Chicago, to Michelle Robinson.

 

They married October 3, 1992, at Trinity United Church of Christ, the congregation of Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Malik wore traditional African clothing. Which of his wives attended, if any, is unknown.

Another American Wife?
In March of 1996, Sheree A[leta] Obama (dob 6/2/59) of 7978 Lakecrest Drive, Greenbelt, MD 20770, filed for divorce in the Circuit Court for Prince George’s County, MD. The respondent/defendant was Abongo M Obama of Nyangema [Nyang'oma] Kogelo Primary School, Ngiya Slaya [Siaya, Nyanza] Kenya. The case number was CAD96-04351, Obama vs Obama. The divorce was uncontested and granted by Judge Martin on July 11, 1997.
Sheree is also listed on public records as Sheree Wood Obama. Exactly when they married and whether they had any children is not mentioned in the available court records. It seems likely that Sheree was also a U.S. citizen, going by her name. Malik stated that Barack was best man at one of his marriages. Which marriage and where the wedding took place is unknown at this time–Malik has had many wives on more than one continent. Although unemployed, Sheree appears to have generously donated $500 and then later another $250 to her former half-brother-in-law’s election campaign in 2008.

In 2003, Malik married a young woman who, when they first met in 2000, was still in Muslim secondary school in Kisumu. Her name is Hafsa Abwanda; she is now about 33 years old.



On video, Hafsa tells how she didn’t like her role as a “co-wife”, how Malik had more wives than the four Islam allows, and how she “escaped” the marriage after five years because Malik beat Hafsa (and his other wives). Hafsa shows a photo of Malik with several women and children, and she names the wives. Malik denied to the TV reporter that he had more than the allowed number of wives, but the caption beneath the video says,
NTV has reliably learnt the teenager could be the twelfth woman to live with Malik as husband and wife.
Malik has joked that he won’t discuss how many wives he has. Malik and Hafsa had a son before she fled the marriage. Below is the photo of Malik, some of his wives, and some of his children, as identified by Hafsa on the video.

 

In August of 2004, Malik was in Kenya, living with an African wife named Fauziah Anyango. Malik remained a “frequent visitor to the USA,” but the report does not explain how his frequent trips were financed. In October of 2004, he ran an electronics shop and occasionally worked as a “consultant” in Washington DC.

A video on You Tube that was posted during the campaign of 2008 features Malik. He talks about his worry that too many people in Kenya are cashing in on Barack’s new-found fame. Malik wanted to “pursue it,” leaving the impression that Malik was worried about the commercialization of his brother’s name only because whatever these Kenyan entrepreneurs made was cash not flowing into Malik’s pockets. Or, to be charitable, into his charity’s pockets. Several reporters appeared to agree:
But the foundation seems to be capitalizing on the Obama name. A California-based company is selling T-shirts with the president’s image and the phrase “Yes We Cannabis.” It promises half of the proceeds will go to the Barack H. Obama Foundation.
 
What a wonderful example to set for the youth of the world!
On the video, Malik stressed that he wanted to set the record straight: He’s Barack’s brother, not his uncle, an error that he said was too frequently made in media reports. Malik had an interesting take on Barack’s election, stating,
My brother rules now.
Which foundation were they talking about? That would be Malik’s charitable foundation.


Alton Baysden
 
In 2008, the Barack H. Obama Foundation, a supposed tax-exempt charity, was founded in the home of Alton Raymond Baysden, who formerly worked for the US State Department and later for the UN in Haiti.
Last May, Baysden admitted to reporters that they had not registered as a charity before soliciting for and collecting donations, which for ordinary people would constitute fraud. Ordinary people being anyone not related to Barack Obama. As with other instances of questionable issues involving members of the extended Obama family, the White House had no comment. More about Baysden here.
Investor’s Business Daily carried an editorial in January of 2008 that expressed some concern over Malik’s influence on soon-to-be President Barack Obama:
The candidate [Barack Obama] already has heeded his church’s “nonnegotiable commitment to Africa,” spending an inordinate amount of his campaign time on the Kenyan crisis, for one. Obama has close family ties to Kenya, and even founded a school in his ancestral village — the Senator Obama School.
In the bloody conflict there, which already has claimed some 700 lives, Obama appears to have sided with opposition leader Raila Odinga, head of the same Luo tribe to which Obama’s late Muslim father belonged. [Raila claims to be Barack's cousin.]
Obama’s older brother still lives there. Abongo “Roy” Obama is a Luo activist and a militant Muslim who argues that the black man must “liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture.” He urges his younger brother to embrace his African heritage.
Beyond family politics, these ties have potential foreign policy, even national security, implications.
Odinga is a Marxist who reportedly has made a pact with a hard-line Islamic group in Kenya to establish Shariah courts throughout the country. He has also vowed to ban booze and pork and impose Muslim dress codes on women — moves favored by Obama’s brother.
In 2009, visitors arrived in Kogelo:
A group of Missouri State college students who visited the Obama family village … and who met the president’s half-brother [Malik], felt something was amiss. They sensed he was an “operator” and decided to give their donation of 400 pounds of medical supplies directly to a local clinic.
“We didn’t know what he was going to do with them,” said Ken Rutherford, a former Missouri State professor who led the trip and who shared in the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize for his work to ban landmines.
Rutherford said the Obamas’ relatives are the only Muslims in a village of 4,000 Christians and that Malik has a private mosque on his property.
In January of 2009, Malik was spotted aboard a plane departing from DC, headed for Doha, Qatar.

 

At that time, Malik said he owned a company called RockStone of Afrika Siaya Electricals. A search on that name turned up a rather unimpressive blog. Malik took a pilgrimage to Mecca around the same time, and started a family feud with step-grandmother Sarah Ogwel Onyango:
Malik Obama the President Obama’s step brother allegedly tried to assault Mama Sarah Obama and other family members forcing … police intervention … after … brief fist skirmishes.
The discontent in the Obama family came to the surface recently emerging from a long standing dispute between Mama Sara Obama and her step grand son Malik Obama aged 50 who recently returned from a pilgrimage in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
Malik who is a step grand son according to Sara put his own homestead on mama Sara Obama’s parcel of land. He left the homestead secretly in the absence of Mama Sara who had traveled to Karachuonyo to see other members of the family. It is mama Sara who had the land title deed registered in her own name and … tradition … and virtue required Malik to [seek] her permission first before constructing any structures.
But Mama Sara says Malik … who is the first child of the late Barrack Obama Snr and his first wife Kezia… forcefully constructed his own home,and fenced it off and is alleged and rumoured to have sought for cash donations from some Arab Moslem countries to enable him construct a Mosque on the same land without Sarah Obama’s permission.
Upon his return Malik is said to have … started the foundation of the proposed mosque without Mama Sara’s permission. But she … was only prevailed upon not to take legal action against Malik by the immediate members of the family during BARRACK Obama Jnr Presidential campaign in the US since the publicity could have impacted to it negatively. But she said plans are underway of evicting Malik out of the land in the near future.
 
Malik and others of the extended Obama family were invited to the White House for the Inauguration.

 
 
Malik on the far left. On the far right, Joseph Ndesandjo, son of Ruth Obama Ndesandjo and her second husband. Second from right, Mark Ndesandjo, half-brother of Barack on their father’s side and half-brother of Joseph Ndesandjo on their mother’s side.
In February, 2010, Al-Riyadh reported that “Al-Malik Hussein Obama, the brother of U.S. President Barack Obama, participated in a Khartoum conference of the trustees of the Organization of Islamic Da’wa.”
The following June, a rift developed between factions of the Obama family in Alego Kogelo, centered around the construction of the Obama cultural center. Allegations were that Sarah Obama was fostering questionable ties with Libya and “Islamic Arabian states” and that Dr. Rita Auma Obama’s “real brother” Malik Obama had “established many Arabian contacts in his dealings and investments.” The situation threatened to embarrass the Obama administration, causing then US Ambassador to Kenya, Michael E. Ranneberger, to intervene. It seemed to boil down to a power struggle between Sarah Obama and Malik Abongo Obama over who was the true spokesperson and decision-maker for the Obama family. Hard to say who won that battle.
The following October, Malik made news again, when it was reported that he had married for the “third time.” This time the bride was a 19-year-old named Sheila Anyango, 30 years younger than he. Sheila’s mother, Mary Aoko Ouma, was not amused that Sheila had dropped out of school to marry Malik. Mary wished never again to see her daughter, because she married against her wishes, without her permission, and also set a bad example for her siblings. Malik denied that he did not have Mary’s permission.
In December 2010, Malik was featured in the Saudi Gazette:
Speaking to Okaz/Saudi Gazette, Abdul Malik Obama said the family is a perfect example of this mindset [of tolerance] because the US president has embraced Christianity while the rest of the family are Muslims and are leading Da’wa work, the religious call, in Africa.
Abdul Malik Hussein Obama is spending most of his time in serving about 10 million Kenyan Muslims, who represent 35 percent of the country’s population, through Islamic centers and charitable societies he supervises.
He is also working as the executive secretary of the Islamic Da’wa Organization in Kenya.
Despite the circumstances of his work, he has been in contact with his brother, President Obama, and maintains a private office in the USA, where he manages his private business, along with three offices in Kenya.
Dr. Ali Al-Malki, adviser, religious caller and member of the Reconciliation Committee, said he met Abdul Malik Obama earlier this year in Sana’a, Yemen, during the deliberations of a forum to help orphans.
Al-Malki said he has coordinated with Abdul Malik Obama to visit Kenya and learn about the work of the charitable and Islamic societies there and the cooperation among them.
Dr. Ali Al-Malki (or Maliki) is a member of something called the “Reconciliation Committee”, which appears to be a Saudi NGO (Islamic/Shariah law) that helps resolve religious disputes and criminal cases.

These days, Malik lives in Kenya next to step-grandmother Sarah, serving as the self-appointed “president” of the village of Nyangoma-Kogelo, helping to keep reporters away from Sarah, who appears to be almost under house arrest because nobody can visit her without permission from the “district commissioner”, who won’t give permission on orders, it appears, from the Kenyan government.
Which brings us back to the WND story about the special treatment Malik’s foundation received from our federal government:
This week, the IRS confirmed to WND that the Barack H. Obama Foundation received a determination letter in June, awarding the group tax-exempt 501(c)3 status, retroactively to 2008. …
The concern of the National Legal and Policy Center was that the foundation may have violated federal and/or state postal and tax laws by soliciting via the Internet and U.S. mail tax-deductible contributions without having made required filings and without having received necessary IRS tax-exempt determinations.
The Form 990 listed Samuel Andika Obiero of Arlington, Va., and Andrew Mboya of Hackensack, N.J., as directors, in addition to Abongo Malik Obama.
The Form 990 … did not list Baysden as a director.
We have not yet tracked down the identities of the other two directors of Malik’s Foundation: Andrew Mboya and Samuel Andika Obiero. But we’ve learned through experience not to believe in coincidences when analyzing the Obama family connections. BHO Sr. was a friend of Tom Mboya. Was, in fact, a witness to his assassination in Kenya. BHO Sr. was also a friend of a postal worker by the name of Adede Abiero (a variant of the Luo name Obiero). Abiero was killed when BHO Sr., driving drunk, crashed his Fiat into another car. Abiero was in the passenger seat.
It should come as no surprise to anyone that Sally Jacobs reports in her book (p. 6) that Malik intends to write the “definitive biography of his father.” No surprise at all! There’s hardly an Obama or an Obama relative who hasn’t written a book or, as is the preferred method, a semi-factual “memoir” with composite characters and fictitious timelines. Likely most of them have ghostwriters. Barack Obama, Mark Ndesandjo, Auma Obama, George Obama, Michelle Obama, Maya Soetoro-Ng. Now Malik.

From the “you can’t make this up category”, a June 2011 video, from a gathering in Washington DC, features a speech by Malik Obama about “character education.” Malik’s speech was long, slow, full of platitudes, and lacking much of substance. Although he’s a devout Muslim, Malik said he finds the goals of The Peaceful Solution Character Education Program to be in line with his own beliefs. Certainly Malik has one thing in common with the founder of that organization, Yisrayl Hawkins: Many wives.

Yisrayl is alleged to have 30, so Malik has some catching up to do.
In his speech, Malik stressed what he considers to be major problems facing today’s world: lack of self-control, selfishness, self-centeredness, fear, and poor leadership.

Dare we hope that Malik has changed?

Updated 9/23/11: A book by David Mendell, Obama: From Promise to Power, clearly states on page 355 that Barack Obama first went to Kenya to meet his relatives in their home village in 1983, “just after college,” so after graduating from Columbia University. Mr. Mendell traveled with Obama in 2006 to Kenya, where he met and interviewed members of the family, as well as speaking with Obama about his life history. Mendell also wrote about the unusual security surrounding the Obama clan and the high level of concern Barack’s campaign staff had with regard to WHAT exactly the family said to reporters.

It’s worth noting that in the summer of 1983, Obama would have turned 22. A pertinent section of the Kenyan Citizenship Act reads as follows:
Minors who are Kenyan nationals “by descent” (i.e. born abroad of Kenyan parents), become nationals “by registration” upon reaching the age of majority (21) and not “by naturalization”. They are required to renounce the nationality of their country of birth between their 21st and 23rd birthdays, and take the oath of allegiance. Any such persons who fail to do so on or before their 23rd birthday, automatically cease to be a citizen of Kenya on that day.
The law does not provide for dual citizenship for adults (those over 21 years of age), but allows minors (those under 21 years of age) to retain the citizenship which they may have acquired by birth, descent or registration, as the case may be. Any minor who acquires Kenyan citizenship is granted a period of two (2) years from their 21st birthday to decide on which nationality to retain. However, failure to renounce the other nationality on or before the 23rd birthday results in loss of Kenyan citizenship.
It appears that Barack and Malik met before Barack visited Malik in Washington DC in 1985. They likely first met in Kenya after their father’s death. It follows, then, that both of them appear to lie about when and where they first met. Their assertions are adamant and seem coordinated. What’s their motive to lie?

Other members of the family, the very ones who worried Gibbs and Axelrod so, weren’t as careful with their timeline. The African media also reported what appears to be true–Barack Obama was in Kenya years before he claims and certainly before 1985. Why lie?
It’s plausible that Barack traveled to Kenya to take steps to prevent himself from losing his Kenyan citizenship. If so, he swore allegiance to Kenya; and he’d have a Kenyan passport upon which to travel. Worse, he would have also renounced his US citizenship. Did he? Is that a motive to lie?
Likely, when he visited Pakistan in 1981, he used an Indonesian passport, because he was listed by his stepfather on school records in Indonesia as an Indonesian citizen.

Some have reported that until he became a senator, Barack Obama didn’t have a US passport. And yet, he traveled internationally and extensively before that time. What passport did he use when he went to Kenya to research his book in 1991? What passport did he use when he visited Kezia in Bracknell? Why might it be important for him to retain Kenyan citizenship? This was around the same time that he embraced his Kenyan name–Barack H. Obama II, rejecting Barry Soetoro. Did foreign citizenship help him to get into Harvard Law, after having been a mediocre student at Columbia? Why won’t he release his college records? Why was his passport file at the Dept. of State “cauterized” of “embarrassing information?”

Kisumu

Kisumu is a port city in western Kenya at 1,131 m (3,711 ft), with a population of 394,684 (2009 census). It is the third largest city in Kenya, the principal city of western Kenya, the immediate former capital of Nyanza Province and the headquarters of Kisumu County. It has a municipal charter but no city charter. It is the largest city in Nyanza region and second most important city after Kampala in the greater Lake Victoria basin.
The port was founded in 1901 as the main inland terminal of the Uganda Railway and named Port Florence. Although trade stagnated in the 1980s and 1990s, it is again growing around oil exports.
Kisumu literally means a place of barter trade "sumo". The city has "Friendship" status with Cheltenham, UK and "sister city" status with Roanoke, Virginia and Boulder, Colorado, USA.

Trivia
U.S. President Barack Obama's father is from the village of Nyang'oma Kogelo, 37 miles or 60 km from Kisumu.[9]

Kenya's Vision 2030 with DG Mugo Kibati



アップロード日: 2010/07/09
