President Obama’s visit to the United Kingdom was nothing more than a trolling exercise, straight out of the Saul Alinsky playbook.

The tactics went like this:

The Provocation

Barack Obama came to Britain and, in the guise of lofty, statesman-like disinterested amity made a statement so outrageously provocative that he might just as well have said: “My historians tell me the reason you guys lost the War of Independence is because your penises were incredibly small.”

No really – his presumption in telling us which way to vote in the European Union debate was that arrogant and rude. The only people in Britain who welcomed Obama’s intervention were the ones already on board with the European Union project. For anyone else, it was a calculated insult from a meddling hypocrite interloper.

The Inevitable Reaction

That’s why, naturally enough, those on the opposing side of the argument – the ones advocating exit from the European Union – responded in kind. If Obama was going to behave like a bumptious prick, well, he deserved to be treated like a bumptious prick.

Hence the perfectly proportionate response by Boris Johnson (Mayor of London; leading light of the Brexit faction) making gentle reference to the President’s Kenyan, anti-British heritage, to Obama’s pointed return of the Winston Churchill bust, and to the meddling, anti-democratic, and thoroughly un-American nature of his suggestion that Britain should remain shackled to the kind of socialist superstate that no American would personally tolerate.

The Manufacture of the Outrage

If you understand how the modern left – especially its Praetorian Guard, the Social Justice Warriors (SJW) – operates, what you’ll realise is this: that the sole tactical purpose of the President’s visit was to generate a kind of “beneficial crisis” which could then be exploited for political ends.

No one could have known beforehand what this beneficial crisis would look like. Essentially it had to be manufactured out of whatever material, however flimsy, that events managed to throw up.

What the SJW hive mind eventually decided on was this: Boris Johnson is a racist.

Probably the finest example of this humbug was to be found not in the Guardian but in the Spectator in this spluttering exercise in over-the-top sanctimoniousness by Nick Cohen.

Here’s a taste:

I’m not someone who throws accusations of racism around – it’s too serious a charge to devalue. But, come now, the fantasy that Obama is the heir of the Mau-Maus with no right to govern is a racist lie that appeals to deep, dark traditions in the US. From slavery, through the Civil War, the backlash against Reconstruction, and Jim Crow, the argument has been the same: blacks have no right to vote, and black politicians have no right to rule.

Yep, that’s it, Nick. Let me translate for you: “Anyone who wants to leave the European Union is the kind of racist bastard who, like Boris Johnson, wants to bring back slavery and hang all black people.”

The Hive Swarms

Vox Day describes this in more detail in his excellent book Social Justice Warriors Always Lie. It’s an essential part of the strategy of the modern left, as laid out decades ago by Saul Alinsky in his Rules for Radicals. Essentially you seek to destroy your most dangerous opponents by isolating them and swarming on them like an angry hive.

Pretty much everyone on the left joins in to condemn Johnson’s outrageous outrageousness. So does everyone else on the Remain campaign. So, amazingly, does one of Winston Churchill’s grandsons – the Conservative MP Nicholas Soames.

The purpose is to leave the victim isolated and confused. And ideally to extract from him some kind of humiliating apology (which of course will not be accepted).

Truth is the First Casualty

Which, in this case, is the fact that Boris Johnson was entirely correct in what he said about Obama and the Churchill bust; that his point was well made; that the scumbags trying to make political capital out of this manufactured scandal are more slippery than a bag of eels in KY jelly and lower than bubonic vermin.

Obama Announces US Taxpayers Will Be Sending $1 BILLION to Kenya

And the Kenyan crowds went wild for Obama’s wealth redistribution of hard-earned American dollars! Yeah!! America is flat ass broke and Obama is giving the Kenyans $1 billion dollars – who does he think he is? Dr. Evil? He’s over there schmoozing with his Islamic relatives, promising them everything we have. He’s soooo concerned about their economy and their young people… what about ours? I consider this Daily Mail piece to be absolute propaganda for Obama. It drips it. Marxism doesn’t lift people out of poverty. It entrenches poverty and want. Look at what has happened here in the States. He’s right about one thing… Africa is one of the fastest growing regions in the world – for terrorism and the Caliphate. Yeah, I can just see Islamists putting down their machetes, so they can go into business for themselves. What Marxist tripe.

From the Daily Mail:

President Barack Obama said his mission to encourage growth in Africa is a personal one while speaking at a business summit in Kenya designed to help supercharge the region’s economy.

Obama, whose father was Kenyan and has dozens of relatives in the country, hailed a ‘continent on the move’ which is lifting its citizens ‘out of poverty’ in a speech Saturday at a business event.

The President is trying to encourage investors to support African nations like Kenya, and has brought a contingent of more than 200 U.S. investors with him, whom he hopes will make commitments to the region.

His address to the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, follows a family reunion last night where he met dozens of his relatives in an upscale city hotel.

He told his audience: ‘This is personal for me. There’s a reason why my name is Barack Hussein Obama. My father came from these parts.’

Talking up the region’s expanding economy, he said: ‘Africa is one of the fastest-growing regions of the world. People are being lifted out of poverty… What happens in Africa is going to affect the world.’

He later expanded on his ideas, saying new business in Africa can offer hope to young people in the continent, parts of which continue to be ravaged by war, famine and extremism.

He said: ‘Entrepreneurship offers a positive alternative to the ideologies of violence and division that can all too often fill the void when young people don’t see a future for themselves.’

Obama also spoke of his optimism for the country last night, posting a tweet from his personal account.

It said: ‘Proud to be the first American President to visit Kenya. Happy to see family, and to talk with young Kenyans about the future.’

Kenyans themselves have responded to the president with an enthusiasm which at least equals his.

Banners and billboards sporting the President’s face sprung up around Nairobi ahead of the visit, while thousands of eager fans waved American flags and painted their faces while getting as close as they could to the Presidential motorcade amid intense security.

In Kogelo, the hometown and place of burial of Barack Obama Snr, Obama has two schools named in his honor, dedicated when he was still an Illinois senator.

Kogelo locals named the Senator Obama Kogelo Primary School and Senator Obama Kogelo Secondary School in his honor when he visited in 2006.

Since then the enthusiasm for the President, whom locals consider their native son, has surged, with many children being named for him.

Obama also used his appearance at the business summit to announce more than $1billion in new commitments from the U.S. government, as well as American banks, foundations and philanthropists.

Half of the money will go to support women and young people, who Obama says face bigger obstacles when trying to start businesses.

‘If half of your team is not playing, you’ve got a problem,’ Obama said, referring to women excluded from the formal economy.

Obama hosted the inaugural entrepreneurship summit at the White House in 2010. This year’s conference is the first to be held in sub-Saharan Africa.

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, who co-hosted the summit, said that he hoped Obama’s visit would help change his nation’s image, which has been tainted by security issues – most notably a 2013 terrorist attack by Al-Shabaab militants on an upscale mall in Nairobi.

Kenyatta said: ‘Africa is the world’s newest and most promising frontier of limitless opportunity. Gone are the days when the only lens to view our continent was one of despair and indignity.’

While in Nairobi, Obama toured an innovation fair highlighting the work of vendors working with his Power Africa initiative, which aims to double sub-Saharan access to electricity.

The President also visited a memorial at the site of the 1998 bombing of the city’s U.S. embassy, which killed more than 200 people.

And please spare me the awful joke that Obama was honoring the twelve Americans killed in the Nairobi Embassy Bombing. He might have been honoring his fellow Kenyans, although I suspect it was just another political photo-op for the panderer-in-chief. Here’s an idea, since Obama loves Kenya so much and they love him back, why doesn’t he move there and run for office? I know America would breathe a collective sigh of relief. In reality, he’s much more likely to get a spanking new office at the UN though. Better to oversee worldwide destruction and chaos. By the way, as he’s pandering to women there, he knows that is ridiculous. Women in Islam are considered less than men, which he never even mentions.
