Rush Limbaugh celebrated thanksgiving by saying “a bunch of Native Americans scammed us, when selling us Manhattan.” Elsewhere the Sexual Deviant, dreamt of ‘groping‘ Obama’s daughters ‘TSA’ style

According to The Smithsonian & Georgetta Stonefish Ryan of Delaware:

The “sale” of Manhattan was a misunderstanding. In 1626 the director of the Dutch settlement, Peter Minuit, “purchased” Manhattan for sixty guilders worth of trade goods. At that time Indians did everything by trade, and they did not believe that land could be privately owned, any more than could water, air, or sunlight. But they did believe in giving gifts for favors done. The Lenni Lenape–one of the tribes that lived on the island now known as Manhattan–interpreted the trade goods as gifts given in appreciation for the right to share the land. We don’t know exactly what the goods were or exactly how much a guilder was worth at that time. It has been commonly thought that sixty guilders equaled about twenty-four dollars. But the buying power of twenty-four dollars in 1626 is not known for sure.

To Europeans, ownership of land was synonymous with wealth, power, and prestige. To purchase land meant that the purchaser had the exclusive right to own and use it. The Lenni Lenape did not realize that the Dutch meant to hold the land for their exclusive use. In 1653, Dutch colonists put up a wall across lower Manhattan to protect the north side of their settlement from attacks by Indian tribes and the British. By 1700 the British had taken over the Dutch colony, torn down the barrier, and built in its place a paved lane called Wall Street.

At the time the Lenni Lenape (which translates as “the people“) occupied lands now known as the states of Delaware, New Jersey, lower New York State, lower Connecticut, and the western tip of Long Island. Not long before the supposed sale of Manhattan, a man named Captain Samuel Argall found a large bay on the Atlantic Coast north of the Chesapeake Bay. He named it in honor of Sir Thomas West, the third Lord de la Warre, who was the governor of the Virginia colony. The bay, the river, the governed territory, and the local Indians all became known by the name Delaware.

So the King of Conservative Neo-Know-Nothings, Rush Limbaugh, saying that Indians scammed whites is totally false — but probably will be digested whole by his racist, imbecilic audience of Indian Holocaust Deniers. The theft of Manhattan is just but a small part of the huge land grab that was to follow. White settlers drove the Indians from their midst, stole their land(s) and, murdered them. To them, Indians were inferior and had to be exterminated.

Napolitano: Obama “wants to subjugate us … to get us to conform to his will”

Mama Sarah Obama has started her journey to the US to witness the swearing-in of her grandson Barack Obama as the 44th American President.

And she is not travelling empty-handed. As a grandmother, she is carrying special gifts for her grandson — a Luo traditional three-legged stool, a flywhisk and a shield, which are symbols of leadership. “I wanted to give him a spear too, but I have been told that due to security reasons, I will not be allowed to board a plane with it,” Mama Sarah told The Standard.

Mama Sarah was in a jubilant mood as she left Nyang’oma Kogelo village for Nairobi. There was a battery of foreign and local journalists to record the moment.

“The day I was waiting for has finally come… I cannot hide my joy,” she said, adding: “I am going to be Kenya’s ambassador during the occasion and I will live to the expectations.”

Mama Sarah will put up with relatives in Nairobi before departing to the US on Friday from the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, only a day before the US President-elect kicks of his inaugural celebrations by taking the day-long journey to Washington DC.

Obama and his family will start their daylong journey with an event in Philadelphia before boarding the train and picking up Vice-President-elect Joe Biden and his family in Wilmington, Delaware. The group will then make a stop in Baltimore before making their way to Washington DC.

Mama Sarah Obama, the grandmother to US President-elect Barack Obama, arrives at Kisumu Airport on Sunday. She was to fly to Nairobi and then Washington DC to witness Obama’s inauguration on January 20. Mama Sarah Obama has started her journey to the US to witness the swearing-in of her grandson Barack Obama as the 44th American President.

Obama’s train trip evokes memories of US’s 16th President Abraham Lincoln who travelled the same route by train to get to Washington DC for his inauguration in 1861.

Lincoln left his home in Springfield for a 12-day journey to Washington DC and made 101 speeches during stopovers.

Among the relatives accompanying Mama Sarah are her son Said Obama and his wife Beatrice; Kogelo community spokesman Nicholas Rajula and his wife Nelly; Senator Obama Kogelo Secondary School BOG chairman Charles Ochome and the Principal Eunita Obiero, as well as Lynn Yaya, a sister to Prime minister Raila Odinga’s wife Ida.

Mama Sarah said she was delighted as the big day (inauguration) nears and her going to America to attend the occasion means a lot to Kenya.

“We are going to install him so that he can serve the world,” she said in Dholuo. “When he sees me he will be very happy because he will have seen his blood,” she said amid prolonged laughter.

“I know Barack will be very happy to see me. My presence will mean a lot to him,” she added.

She added she would have wished to carry a spear to give Obama but was told that it will not be allowed through the airport.

“Rajula tried to carry a spear to give Barack when he won the Senate seat but he was blocked at the airport,” she recalled.

After the inauguration, Mama Sarah said it would now be upon Obama to work hard and ensure he helped those suffering across the world.

In Kogelo, among those who bid her farewell included senior official of Maendeleo Ya Wanawake Organization in Siaya district, Mrs Patricia Apoli, and members of the Kogelo cultural committee who were putting final touches to a cultural festival that is set to start on January 16 at Kogelo Primary School to celebrate the installation of Obama as President of the United States.

The Mayor of Washington Mr Adrian Fenty estimates that up to five million people will attend the inauguration as it is the first time ever the US has an African-American president.

All hotels in Washington DC and surrounding suburbs were booked months ago, and tourists now have to make do with alternative accommodation with families willing to sub-let their houses.
