API’s Michelle Obama tape scam comes to an end
The API Michelle Obama “tape” saga ends in the way we all knew it would…..no tape will be released. Sammy tries to chalk the non-release up to some kind of moral high ground he is taking but it really boils down to the fact he never had a tape. I called it months ago….he couldn’t release what he didn’t have and I knew he would find a way to try and wiggle out of it.
So, it comes to an end and Sammy can return to the obscurity he previously enjoyed – until his next scheme. He admitted previously to posting stories that were complete fabrications in order to gain hits to his blog and I doubt seriously this Michelle Obama tape claim and the Iman doc claim will be the last. I have every idea he is sitting back congratulating himself for scamming Americans for 3 months and wondering what he can pull next. You can call it reaping what you sow or karma, but it boils down to the same thing – Sammy will eventually cross a line he can’t find his way back over and the chickens will come home to roost.
API has had a story – a Michelle Obama tape that was to be aired by Fox News Network. Time has come to move on and all good hearted people should join hands and give full support to the couple and allow them to have their time at the top without unnecessary revelations that only serve to distract and derail concentration of the mind that is required in the job at the White House.
This is why API will now drop the release of the Michelle Obama tape and the Imam’s document on Obama and join all peace loving people in cheering and supporting the new president. People are allowed to change their mind and give support to leaders who really seem to take leadership seriously like Obama.
[snip]
API has decided to drop the prestige behind the desire to release the tape and the document. API understands that so many people who have been waiting and pushing for the release of the aforesaid will most probably turn their anger against API, but we tell them, that politics is always a dirty game and knowledge has it that political rivals in most cases end up joining hands to work together for the benefit of those who look up to them.

Just in case he scrubs it:

Korir enemy Dabgladet gets in a final hit saying:
And when even plumber Joe failed in the last act, it helped very little that the notorious American-kenyanske charlatan Sammy Korir ran with free scandal poetry about Obama family on his blog. SOURCE
And yes, Sammy still has a few sad hangers on but most of the Internet world now knows that he is a con man and yes, indeed, a charlatan.
Once again, thank you to Grace and other Mountain Sage blog readers who did research and shared information.

Oh no! More work for you.
I am moving one day earlier due to weather. Friday seems to be warmer, and Hubby decided that’s the way to go! After the news, I was going in circle for an hour and got nothing done, LOL! Going to brew some coffee. Body needs some caffein boost!
Sage Reply:

Yes, more work for me. Poor me.
It sounds like a good idea to move when it’s warmer. Coffee is not only a caffeine burst it’s one of life’s finest little pleasures.

Nice wrap-up, Sage. What else can you say about a con man, other than he’s a con. Congrats to you and Grace for doing the majority of the work on this.
My only question is what Dabgladet means by American-kenyanske. Are they inferring that Sammy is, in any way, American?

Thanks Bantry!
It’s a google translation error. It sometimes translates the original word “norsk-kenyanske” to American Kenyan instead of Norwegian-Kenyan.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:00 pm
Sage/ Grace why does dagbladet say he is American- Kenyanese?
Do they think he is an expert on Americans? Or maybe it’s from his American identities?
Sage Reply:

I don’t know.

Grace- Is your husband feeling better?
Grace Reply:

Yes, he is feeling a lot better today. I am pumping him with airbourne and also lots of fluid.
Thank you for asking.
January 21st, 2009 at 7:07 pm
Google translation mistakenly translated Norwegian to American sometimes. I found that happening quite often when I was doing research in the past.

No surprise, since it was his only “out.”
However, there is no way he wrote that post by himself.

He had this “out” planned at the beginning of the scam, which I directly accused him of when I was “Vlad08″. Of course, I was immediately banned which confirmed my accusation, but the scenario I painted did not go unnoticed by some of the other chatters. Youse guys (Chicago Mob Talk) kept the pressure on and made him cry out as a self proclaimed victim many times, which is a testament to your effectiveness. He will re-emerge in the future… maybe scalping tickets to the next Obama inauguration?

i checked in on this blog during the whole scam job and remember when sammy’s alter egos would be nasty on this site and the api site.
sammy korir, go away.

Sage actually did most of the work. She was like the central station that received all email exchanges, put articles together, posted them up. After that she had to combat Sammy’s followers coming over here to attack us all.

Soooooooo, now that he’s finally said he is backing Obama and wants to work towards the future *couBULLSHITghs* I think we too need to look to the future.
Let’s have a lottery. What will Scammy’s next scam be? The one who comes closest will win a brand new 2009 Kenyan automobile and a goat…(Oh wait! All the goats were slain for the inaugural festivities).

Think this will get sammy a visa? The lion API posted a link on chat to a new article that is still talking about compiling all the api saga stuff and peaces and love towards the new president. Don’t think he realizes there is no more room in the pressroom at the whitehouse. Here’s his letter/email to the white house.
(Psst, Sammy/ Jimmy, They do big time background checks and google whoever you want to send, plus their associations)

Subject: Congratulations on taking over the US presidency
President Barack Obama
The White House
The United States of America
Dear Mr President,
It is now time to congratulate you Mr President, and to wish you well in your new role as the leader of the only powerful nation in the world – The USA.
You campaigned, you were criticised from all corners by some. You campaigned and you were supported from all corners by many.
African Press International – API was among your critics during the campaign. Coming from Kenya originally, I personally feared that if you win, you may impose a leader on the Kenyan people. This is something I have to get over and move on. I have also realised that those who were competing with you, your heart is big enough to accommodate them in your administration. This is one major thing people in politics should exercise – being politically mature as you have shown by being inclusive, appointing your opponents into your administration.
After listening to your inauguration address, I sensed that you are the man this world now needs and that gives me and others great hope that you will do your best to bring peace to the world so that our children may live in peaceful environments.
Being one of the people’s representative who is experienced, having climbed the ladder from being a State Senator and now at the top in your political career, I believe that you understand that politics is a dirty game and a game that people play tactically and with many different approaches.
While on this, I would like to congratulate you for having won many hearts and now me joining the list at long last.
Having heard how you plan to move forward in your plans to govern America and how you intend to extend your political guidance to the larger world, API has now decided to follow your policies closely, and what best way for us to do so than get API branch office in Washington and seek to be allowed to have API represented in the White House Press Briefing Room alongside other journalists.
We look forward to be able to see new faces of journalists in the briefing room, API’s representative included, because there is a huge interest from all corners of the world to follow what your administration will do for the American people and the world at large.
Once more, API takes this opportunity to congratulate you and your wife, and hope your two beautiful daughters get peace in Washington and be allowed by the media to continue being the children they are, to live peacefully, play peacefully and enjoy making new friends in the new environment.
With regards,
Yours sincerely
Sammy Korir

Now that’s just what I needed to read after a long day of moving. I needed a good laugh, too. Who knows, maybe he’ll set up branch offices all over the US and give us all a chance to get a crack at him.
We’re almost finished moving. Just a couple of small trailer loads packed in the garage. Thursday I’ve got a couple who are going to clean the old house. I’ve still got to get stuff put away here and pull out stuff that’s going to storage, but there is a light at the end of this long, long, long tunnel.

He was, he told Moses he met Denzel Washington at the inauguration and had his picture taken with him.
But then…was that the real Moses? Or someone else leading the believers into the desert?

Will be gone saturday for an out of town funeral. It is going to be subzero and you know those old ones are going to want to go to the cemetery. Then the church buffet and the tour of where everyone used to live. Twill’ be a long one.
This was the last of the generation before me that farmed the family farm. 150 yrs in the same family and it was lost in a divorce settlement. They were a tight bunch. The remaining cousins to the deceased are all in their upper 80’s and early 90’s. There will be some good stories I am sure.

Korir always finds a way to bring more koolaide to the party-his trips to nowhere and no pictures(Kodak moments) to show of himself ever anywhere.Except for his head shot-lol-who knows where that’s been.
