Sarah Anyango has confirmed that Hussein Anyango Obama was an informant for the brutal Mau-Mau rebels who massacred thousands of Africans, and that President Obama whitewashed his grandfather’s terrorist activities.
Hussein Onyango Obama, Mr Obama’s paternal grandfather, became involved in the Kenyan independence movement while working as a cook for a British army officer after the war. He was arrested in 1949 and jailed for two years in a high-security prison. … Although a member of the Luo tribe from western Kenya, he sympathised with the Kikuyu Central Association, the organisation leading an independence movement that would evolve into the bloody uprising known as the Mau Mau rebellion. … In his book, Mr [President] Obama implies that his grandfather was not directly involved in the anti-colonial agitation, but his grandmother said that her husband had supplied information to the insurgents. “His job as cook to a British army officer made him a useful informer for the secret oathing movement which would later form the Mau Mau rebellion,” she said.
From Wikipedia:
Mau Mau militants were guilty of human rights violations, and many of the murders of which they were guilty were brutal in the extreme. More than 1,800 Kenyan civilians are known to have been murdered by Mau Mau, and hundreds more disappeared, their bodies never found. Victims were often hacked to death with machetes. At Lari, on the night of March 25-26 1953, Mau Mau forces herded 120 Kikuyu into huts and set fire to them.
Remarkably few British civilians were killed by Mau Mau militants: just 32. Perhaps the most famous Mau Mau victim was Michael Ruck, aged just six, who was killed along with his parents. Michael was found hacked to death in his bedroom, and “newspapers in Kenya and abroad published graphic murder details and postmortem photos, including images of young Michael with bloodied teddy bears and trains strewn on his bedroom floor.”
Yay! Another “First” for the United States of America!

I had read at Sweetness and Light that Obama’s grandpappy was a witchdoctor- which means he probably sold diced albinos.
