Kenyanpoet - A Kenyan Artistic Space: DARKEST EUROPE & AFRICA’S NIGHTMARE

I've read the book - full of the best out of academia. And for the shallow "complainers", Princess Akinyi not only criticises the looting West, and Asia, she is also screaming at all Africans to drop their "collective psychic damage", stop self-hating themselves, get on with affirmative action and "use their brains and hands" to better their lot instead of sitting around waiting for other people's mercy. The Princess is - excuse the pun - calling a spade a spade!

CNN Doing What It's Good At

The MAIN MAN had a whopping quarter of a million audience riveted by him yesterday at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate – a politically sacred place in the city. And somebody is mad. Very many somebodies actually are stark staring bonkers. Let’s take CNN (unfortunately I don’t have the means to watch Fox in Germany). CNN’s “by-line” was: Obama wins the hearts, but not the minds, of Germans. See it? Or did CNN mean that Germans are chronic dimwits anyway? Afroancestrals are always the Heart People and not the Mind People - most Euroancestrals would have the world believe. Now, when all humankind could be that, be Heart People, I couldn’t think of a better world. Minds are autocratic and should be left well alone to think their thoughts, only checked in their stride when the thoughts are tantamount to destroying nature, humanity very much included. But hearts have that natural (read Godly, for it’s not for nothing that the Christian Faith teaches us that God “made us in His image”) soft spot where they finely pick between good and bad – no grey zones in the human heart, unless warped by our own malfunctioning environment. So Barack Obama won Biiiig in Berlin and (pink) conservative America have their knickers in a gorgeous twist about it. The righteous first shall be the first, says my bible – and don’t you forget that Christianity is Afro-Orient. Euroancestrals have never in history come up with a world religion. Open your eyes people. I said it yesterday – pink people know how to steal a good thing and make it theirs. Otherwise Odin, Thor or Wotan would have been theirs to spread around as gods – whether as Celts, Visigoths or Germanics. So why didn’t they? Because somebody else in Africa and the Orient had a more powerful spirituality with an extremely volatile conviction to toss to the world. Pinkie grabbed it and made it theirs. Like the American continent. Or Australia. Or the technology that sprouted from the Islamic world and was mainly stolen and kept secret by the Vatican. Keep track - that's how it's done.Stay glued, I’ll be back - because we have an exciting week here in Europe. That 50% Luo genius who spoke for over an hour without any written speech to look at, is meeting Sarkozy in Paris next – Sakorzy a lover of a nude-skin kind of woman. Not our Michelle at all. But then, Barack Obama remains the sole spectator of a clad-skin Michelle. A true Luo honourable! Sorry – short by/of about that 5% German and 37% English (what's the opposite of prudery?)!

Barack Obama is German

Sit tight, this is a knock-offer! Pink people never see a good thing and keep their hands off it. Or, in this regard, off him. The Democrat Presidential Candidate Barack Obama is 4.6875% German, the German renowned weekly, Die Zeit, claims in their today’s 24th July 2008) issue. A poll has found out that 72% of Germans wish him to be the next President of the USA. In the capital city of Berlin, Barack Obama had a reception today that tops the one once given to John F Kennedy in the same city. In cafés, bars and pubs the Big Question is: Why don’t we have one such as him? reports Die Zeit.

They’ve dug up his entire Germanness from one Christian Gutknecht, born in 1722 in the town of Bischweiler. At the age of 24 he married one Maria Magdalena Gruenholtz and three years later they migrated to the USA, arriving on 13th September 1749. Christian anglicised his name first to Goodknight – the German word Knecht actually means manservant, farm hand or slave. But the good manservant Christian wanted a nobler surname. He soon took out the “k” altogether and became Goodnight. Maria Magdalena and Christian had a son, Samuel Goodnight (born around 1760 in Pennsylvania). Samuel married Magdalena Berkheimer (born 1764), and they had a daughter Catherine Goodnight born in 1794 in Pennsylvania. Catherine married Jacob Dunham, born in 1795 in Virginia. Their son Jacob Mackey Dunham (*1824, Virginia) married Louise Eliza Stroup (*1837, Ohio). Louise and Jacob Mackey had a son, Jacob William Dunham (1863 in Indiana), who married Mary Ann Kearney (*1869 in Indiana). Jacob William and Mary Ann begat Ralph Waldo Emerson Dunham in Kansas in 1894. Ralph Waldo entered holy matrimony with Ruth Lucille Armour (*1900 in Illinois) and the marriage produced another son in 1918 in Kansas named Stanley Armour Dunham. Stanley married Madelyn Lee Payne who was born in Kansas in 1922. Which led to the birth of Stanley Ann Dunham (*1942 in Kansas) who married Barack Hussein Obama (*1936 in Kenya). This last couple are the parents of Barack Hussein Obama Jr, born in 1961 in Hawaii.

According to the weekly, another German lineage was traced by the genealogist Williams Addams Reitwiesner – http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/ - to the German city of Heilbronn in 1616. The genealogist came up with the maths:

Luo 50.0%
English 37.3%
German 4.6875%

Another researcher claims that Obama’s success lies in his embracing German values which he absorbed further in his state of Illinois, an enclave of descendants of German migrants. These “Protestant German values” are: impartiality, environmental consciousness (I’m a Luo and you should have heard me laughing!), transparency, innovation, education and peaceful solution of conflicts.

Wait a minute, who started (and lost) the two Great Wars?

A couple of months ago when H R Clinton was still getting a good run for her money, this same weekly, Die Zeit had another glaring front page headlines with head photos of Obama and Clinton, asking the readership who the next US president would be: FRAU ODER SCHWARZ? At the time Obama was nothing but a pigmentation possibly from Pluto. At least Clinton had a gender. And now, with 72% for Barack Obama? He’s their main man!!

Can you taste the hypocrisy?
Tuesday, July 15, 2008Recently at the G8 summit in Japan several things were discussed, but very high on the list was global warming and the food shortage. This story was followed shortly by the menu that these leaders enjoyed. (read below).
Am I the only one who sees the hypocrisy here? Why is it that for the elite, the rules never seem to apply? Gordon Brown tells Britain not to waste food because of the worldwide food shortage, he then commences to stuff his face with an 18 course banquet.
People are starving the world over and they're dining on the best cuisine their citizen's money can buy.
I suppose George Orwelle was right when he wrote, that all are equal, but some are more equal than others.
I for one am sick to death of the hypocrisy of world leaders...



Just two days ago, Gordon Brown was urging us all to stop wasting food and combat rising prices and a global shortage of provisions.

But yesterday the Prime Minister and other world leaders sat down to an 18-course gastronomic extravaganza at a G8 summit in Japan, which is focusing on the food crisis.

The dinner, and a six-course lunch, at the summit of leading industrialised nations on the island of Hokkaido, included delicacies such as caviar, milkfed lamb, sea urchin and tuna, with champagne and wines flown in from Europe and the U.S.

But the extravagance of the menus drew disapproval from critics who thought it hypocritical to produce such a lavish meal when world food supplies are under threat.

On Sunday, Mr Brown called for prudence and thrift in our kitchens, after a Government report concluded that 4.1million tonnes of food was being wasted by householders.

He suggested we could save up to £8 a week by making our shopping go further. It was vital to reduce 'unnecessary demand' for food, he said.

Last night's dinner menu was created by Katsuhiro Nakamura, the first Japanese chef to win a Michelin star. It was themed: Hokkaido, blessings of the earth and the sea.

But Dominic Nutt, of the charity Save the Children, did not approve.

'It is deeply hypocritical that they should be lavishing course after course on world leaders when there is a food crisis and millions cannot afford a decent meal,' he said.

'If the G8 wants to betray the hopes of a generation of children, it is going the right way about it. The food crisis is an emergency and the G8 must treat it as that.'

In 2005, at the G8 summit in Gleneagles, Scotland, world leaders promised to increase global aid by £25billion a year by 2010 and raise aid to Africa, the world's poorest continent, by £12.5billion. But the bloc of rich nations is only 14 per cent of the way towards hitting its target.

Britain is meeting its commitments in full, but other countries are understood to be dragging their feet - and there are fears the figures on global aid could be watered down.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Italian leader Silvio Berlusconi, who face pressure to cut spending at home, are understood to be leading the charge to weaken the Gleneagles proposal.

Tory international development spokesman Andrew Mitchell said: 'The G8 have made a bad start to their summit, with excessive cost and lavish consumption.

'Surely it is not unreasonable for each leader to give a guarantee that they will stand by their solemn pledges of three years ago at Gleneagles to help the world's poor.

'All of us are watching, waiting and listening.'

A World Bank study released last week estimated that up to 105million more people, including 30million in Africa, could drop below the poverty line because of rising food prices.

Yesterday the European Union agreed to channel £800million in unused European farm subsidies to African farmers, as part of its response to the global food crisis.

'The EU really can give a boost to agriculture in developing countries,' Jose Manuel Barroso, president of the European Commission, told the meeting.

The money will be used to buy seed and fertiliser and fund agriculture projects in Africa.

The meal was served at the Windsor Hotel, on the shores of Lake Toya, where the presidential suite costs £7,000 a night.

Japan has spent a record sum of money and deployed about 20,000 police to seal off the remote lakeside town of Toyako for the three-day talks.
