Profile of the Michigan Child Killer (Babysitter)

The Babysitter Serial Killer Profile: Sunday, June 29, 2008

This profile is "retrospective" and is compiled as the predator would have been in 1976 & 77.

Highly Organized Predator: This type of person fits well into society. He is often gregarious and out-going and often gets his way with people because of his manipulative manner. He is a pathological liar and has a chameleon personality. This predator selects his victims from an area which he is perfectly familiar with. He is highly intuitive and very observant.

He selects victims he can control and dominate, he also selects the site of the attack, stalks the victim and researches his craft. The crime scene will reflect controlled rage in the form of ropes, chains, gags or handcuffs present or on the victim. There is often evidence of torture, rape and aggressive act prior to death. This predator doesn't collect trophies in the form of jewelry or other personal items of the deceased. In this case, his trophy is the last breath or a lock of hair probably from the back of his victims heads. This serial killer/predator I believe may inhale the last breath of his child victims. He covets and collects their souls or "life essence".

This organized offender follows the news media and won't communicate with the police through letters or phone calls, not taunting the police and pointing out his superiority. He feels his superiority as self evident. This predator doesn't have the need to communicate in this way however, he derives his "pleasure" from being a mystery and his knowing that the police are, in his estimation, ineffective so this provides joy or an ego boost for himself therefor, there is no reason for him to taunt police as he also views such an act as a laps in security and unnecessary. He desires to be "invisible and legendary", this gives him the illusion of being like a phantom and in his mind, a superhuman creature that invades the nightmares of the public. He enjoys the fear of others and truly believes he is superior yet misunderstood. He longs for greatness and glory but not in a way in which most would as he has already obtained it by his actions. He enjoys his anonymity like wearing a magic cloak of invisibility. This predator seems to know or understand the intimate details of the investigation.

Age: 25-37
Sex: M
Race: Caucasian
Marital Status/ Adjustment: Married/Divorced

Intelligence:
Above average bordering on highly intelligent. This individual has a mind for details with an exacting memory. He is able to use his intelligence to obtain the things he needs or to manipulate people in such a way that they are unaware. He is very insightful and knows how to second guess people. He is often times impatient with those who he deems less intelligent.


Scholastic Achievement/ Adjustment:
This individual feels that "schools" are too slow or lacking for his participation. High School diploma at the most or some Community College/Tech School. This individual is a very capable mathematician.


Life Style:
Married but estranged while residing with his wife or divorced. He would be controlling and distant to his spouse. He is mascarading as a heterosexual. This individual will travel 50 miles or more to find "gay or homosexual" venues to act out his sexuality.

Rearing Environment:
This individual seems to have come from a broken home and is more than likely an only child. This child also suffered sexual abuse from a relative or close family friend from the age of 9 to 15 with an exceptional amount of frequency between the ages of 10 and 12. It is believed that his mother was responsible for the development of his "cleaning fetish" which is visible as an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It would also seem plausible that his mother reinforced the concept that "children are dirty creatures" and therefor she bathed or cleaned him herself well into puberty focusing on his genitals and rectum. His mother knew of his sexual experiences and interjected her religious ideologies into a "ritual" of cleansing her son. It would also seem plausible that his mothers sexual frustrations were acted out on her son. She felt since her son was more desirable to the males in her household she must act upon this in the manner in which she did. The result of the abuse, sexual and ritualistic, has caused this predator to envy so called "normal" families. His mother probably used "sodomy by object" as a form of punishment. This predator is Catholic and more than likely attends services regularly as this will put him in contact with more children. She felt this was an acceptable method of "punishment".

The predators father would have been uneducated or worked as a laborer. He would have been emotionally distant and abusive. The father would have more than likely abused alcohol and display an explosive temper. He would have exercised total control of the household and his focus of attack would have been more than often, his son (predator). His father would also utilize confinement and restraint as forms of punishment which is later acted out in his forced "captivity" of his victims.


Social Adjustment:
He has learned at a young age how to keep secrets and to "act" as if normal. He can interact quite well with others around him in social situations but tends to politely avoid group events or social invitations that interfere with his "personal time". This predator can maintain his "lone state" in a room full of crowded people. He has little patience or time for normal social interactions. He will use social occasions in order to target victims. I am quite certain that he has spoken often to his victims parents.

Personality Style / Characteristics:
This type of person fits well into society as a fixture or piece of furniture would in a room. He is often gregarious and out-going and often gets his way with people because of his manipulative manner. He is a pathological liar and has a chameleon personality. This individual is likable and helpful. His personality would be disarming and he can gain the trust of others quite easily. He is a good listener and often times provides sound advice to those around him. He is quite good a problem solving but not for himself.

Demeanor: Outgoing but often times withdrawn or paranoid. When withdrawn he will pretend to have a mild illness such as a migraine or a light touch of the flu. He will interact with neighbors who have children but no more than to gain access. He is the sort of neighbor who will wave at his other neighbors and offer a smile as he leaves for work or returns.


Appearance/ Grooming:
This predator enjoys his OCD and projects this "cleansing" to his victims not only to remove evidence but to recapture his essence from his victims. This predator is vain but also has a great deal of self hatred or self loathing. His clothes would always been neat and clean and the use of gloves often would also fit his personality profile. He will frequently bathe or shower and this is where he will practice self sexual stimulation and gratification. He also develops his fantasies while bathing or showering. This mans manner of dress will be immaculate and he will select clothing color based on their relationship to "power, authority and trust." A clean cut snappy dresser.


Emotional Adjustment:
This individual has blunted emotions. He also has trouble sleeping and struggles with racing thoughts. He gets his "emotional cues" from those around him and is unable to feel compassion or remorse. He is angry that he has to live his life in the closet and his victims represent "innocence" and he feels he has a right to make them suffer for his own projected pain. It angers him that his target child doesn't suffer the same as he has and further feels he must correct this. His rage is controlled and channeled into his abilities and techniques. He derives pleasure from the hunt, the capture, the transporting, securing, manipulating, and forcing his victim to plead.

This predator will more than likely force his victims to beg him for sex with promises of release if they comply. He enjoys this until the victim realizes that a release is not forthcoming, the victim then becomes vocal and rebellious, which he will in response begin the process of death. He chooses suffocation/asphyxiation as it silences the voice and he can control the duration of their suffering and end their life slowly while he savours the moment. This man has a God complex. He too is invisible and forces a form of worship and obedience from his victims. He enjoys having the power over life and death. He is a master manipulator. He will fluctuate from being emotionally immature to mature. He will often times when alone pretend to be a child again and verbalize his internal thoughts during this time. He also is fascinated by the media coverage and overall community fear and monitors this during and after each kidnapping. The reasons for his selection of victims would be that they are representative of children from his past who did not have to suffer as he did. His world was created by adults who abused him and therefor he feels as part of his revenge he is therefor entitled to create a "world" for his victims to suffer in. This predator has contemplated or attempted suicide in his past and more than likely did so with a firearm. The predator although had ideas of suicide did not follow through with it prior to the attacks.


Residence In Relation To Crime Scene(s):
This individuals ego allows him to live in close proximity to his victims. He knows the county quite well and more than likely branches out from the center being his place of residence in all directions like an omnipotent being who feels the universe centers around him. He feels he is superior in intelligence and therefor does not fear being caught and is operating near his safe zone. He believes he is in control of his geographical location and has constantly studied it over the years. This (knowledge) would also play a role in the type of employment he would seek and obtain. He enjoys his "power" and "invisibility" as he takes his victims and deposits them close to himself and close to their homes. He will live in a home where he can have a basement or "dungeon". If in town, the house will have privacy fencing or if in a rural setting will have a gated driveway. The home he chooses may be out of character for the neighborhood in which he lives. It would be well kept and "pretentious". This predator carefully calculates time, distance, and the potential of discovery when he selects a victim. He knows their home address, the number of people living in the home and their habits. He feels quite at ease in taking his victims in broad daylight which indicates he has mastered the skill of stalking and plan execution. He also knows that when he deposits a body that all law enforcement will focus on that area therefor he will take his next victim in sequence and away from the deposit area. His movements which include abduction and deposit are similar to chess moves.


Socioeconomic Status:
As a child this predator came from a lower scale economic family which would have had parents who abused alcohol and or drugs.
He is currently lower middle class (working class) always attempting to clime the financial and social ladder in order to prove he is viable, validated and superior to his humble upbringing. This predator is either in a law enforcement job (sheriffs deputy, i.e.) or trucking/delivery. He has a job which allows him to be either authoritative or non-threatening. He is in fact approachable.

Type of Sexual Perversion or Disturbance:
Child rapist, bully, S&M/Bondage practitioner. This individual sees himself as an Alpha wolf, one who dominates and controls and is in no way submissive or passive. He enjoys children because they are easily controlled and represent everything he is not. He chooses children who are alone. He prefers boys but will take a girl simply for the "kill fix". I'm quite certain that he used the girls he took to perform menial chores around the house such as cleaning and preparing him food. He would also punish these female children for the perceived "sins" of his mother. He picks boys who appear to be timid or weak, and all the victims could have been related if we compare their physical features.

The predator may share similar physical characteristics (dating back to his childhood) with the children he took. This man is an emotional and psychological chameleon and once his methods are widely known he may change his method of killing or to "change up" in order to keep his invisibility secure. He will continue to control, torture, rape and kill, but will change his method of disposing of the bodies. Those he really enjoyed, he will bury in the ground or deposit in a body of water, thus giving them "invisibility" as he feels he has, others he will dispose of in a far less decent manner. He has our attention and obtained it in 1976 & 77 and he knows he's kept it since those years. This closeted homosexual pedophile is by now out of the closet as a homosexual but could not be during those years. Being in the closet adds to his frustration and he feels the world is infringing on his sexual rights, this enraged him as much as his perceived "sexual curse".

Anal penetration of his victims is aggressive or violent/forceful. This is to exact the most pain and response from his victims. He enjoys the screaming and pleading. He enjoys having no mercy and the physical resistance to his actions. The movement or resistance thrills him. It reminds him he is controlling a human life by shear force of his power and will. He will utilize a mechanism of suffocation which is familiar to him as he learned this as a child. Possibly a pillow as it is certain that he has hidden is own face in a pillow while being sodomized as a child and wishing he were dead. If he uses a plastic bag it is so he can still view the face which reveals a persons humanity.

Facial expressions and movement of his victims also thrill this predator. He "dehumanizes" his victims during his overall process. He feels he has a right to do these things and they have it coming. He will continue until he is stopped by outside forces or people. He will "migrate" to other hunting grounds and more than likely seek employment that will afford him this freedom. I would recommend that law enforcement overcome "linkage blindness" and seek out similar victims in other jurisdictions. Don't look for identical methods of death or disposal techniques but be more concerned with the physical appearance of the child and age. This predator is a "chameleon" and will change in many ways as he becomes more creative, skilled and self-empowered.

Motive: Thrill killing/God Complex/Egocentric Boosting, Narcissistic & To Inflict Pain On "Normal" Families which he did not have. Sadist. He is enraged by children having happy normal lives, which he did not have. He feels entitled to do the things he does.

Indicators: This individual took the children on either Wednesday or Sunday. These are considered "church days" in the effected community. Only one victim received a "shot gun blast" to the face. This was the only child who was "defiant". She (the victim indicates this type personality due to the fact that she was the runaway.) She was obviously not as obedient and submissive as he desired. He made certain she saw it coming. He wanted her to suffer for defying him but most of all he wanted her to fear him.

Michigan Child Murders 1976 & 77

There were four children murdered in Michigan in 1976 & 77 that have yet been unsolved. Here is information about the kids and I will include a psychological profile of the killer in a secondary post. If anyone has information regarding these murders please contact the Michigan State Police.

Timothy King

What was the Oakland County Child Killer's-Family secret???
The Oakland County Child Killer was a serial killer responsible for the murders of four or more children in Oakland County, Michigan , United States in 1976 and 1977. The killer was also nicknamed The Babysitter, as all four victims had been recently bathed. During a 13-month period, four children were abducted and murdered with their bodies left in various locations within the county. The children were each held from four to 19 days before being killed. Their deaths triggered a murder investigation which at the time was the largest in U.S. history. The murders are still unsolved.
Fear and near-mass hysteria swept southeastern Michigan, as young people were inundated with information on "stranger danger", and parents clogged streets around schools dropping off and picking up their children. The few who did walk ,walked in groups and under the watchful eyes of parents in "safe houses", where children could go if they felt uncomfortable. Children even avoided using a playground directly behind the Birmingham police station. One incident in Livonia involved a tow-truck driver who assaulted a man he had seen asking two boys on the street for directions. He turned out to be an Ohio tire salesman who had gotten lost with no knowledge of the slayings. The Detroit News offered a $100,000 reward for the killer's apprehension.

Mark Stebbins , 12, of Ferndale , was last seen leaving an American Legion Hall on Sunday afternoon, February 15, 1976. He had told his mother he was going home to watch a movie on television. He never got there. His body was found just before noon on February 19, neatly laid out in a snowbank in the parking lot of an office building at Ten Mile Road and Greenfield in Southfield (some reports claim Oak Park ; Greenfield is the boundary between the two cities). He had been strangled and sexually assaulted with an object. Rope marks were seen on his wrists. He was fully clothed in the outfit he was wearing when last seen alive. Taken from Ferndale and deposited at the Oakland & Southfield boarder known as Addison Heights. Ten Mile Road and Greenfield in Southfield (some reports claim Oak Park ; Greenfield is the boundary between the two cities). American Legion Hall 1741 Livernois St., Ferndale, MI. This child was taken from the parking lot of 1741 Livernois St. Ferndale, and his body was deposited 5.52 miles away or a 13 minute drive time resting at the intersection of Ten Mile Road and Greenfield. The route indicates a left hand turn out of the parking lot traveling on W 9 Mile Rd crossing Rosewood St. then Coolidge Hwy. then turning right onto Greenfield to the intersection of 10 Mile Road. Taken from South of US 696 and deposited North of US 696.

Jill Robinson , 12, of Royal Oak , packed a backpack and ran away from her home on Wednesday, December 22, 1976 following an argument with her mother over dinner preparations. The day after her disappearance, her bicycle was found behind a hobby store on Main Street in that city. Her body was found on the morning of December 26, along the side of Interstate 75 near Big Beaver Road in Troy . She was killed by a single shotgun blast to the face. She was fully clothed and still wearing her backpack. The body was placed within sight of the Troy police station, once again, laid out neatly in the snow. Taken from Royal Oak and deposited in Troy. Interstate 75 near Big Beaver Road in Troy . Her bicycle was found behind a hobby store on Main Street in Royal Oak. The distance between abduction site and deposit site is 10.66 miles or a 20 minute drive time. Go North on Main St. to Mile Rd. turn left to Woodward Ave. then right and again north on Woodward Ave. to N. Adams Rd. north to Quarton Rd. then right to Big Beaver Rd.

Kristine Mihelich , 10, was last seen Sunday, January 2, 1977 at 3 p.m. at a 7-Eleven store on Twelve Mile Road at Oakshire in Berkley , purchasing a magazine. A mail carrier spotted her fully clothed body 19 days later on the side of a rural road in Franklin Village . She had been smothered. The body was laid within view of nearby homes, eyes closed and arms folded across the chest, once again in the snow. Taken from Berkley and deposited in Franklin Village. Taken from a 7-Eleven store on Twelve Mile Road at Oakshire in Berkley. Trip distance: 144.30 miles Time: 2 hrs 24 mins. Following Interstate & State Hwy. Routes.

Timothy King, 11 , borrowed 30 cents from his older sister and left his home in Birmingham , skateboard in hand, to buy candy at a drugstore on nearby Maple Road (Mills Pharmacy 1740 W Maple Rd, Birmingham, MI. established 1946) on Wednesday, March 16, 1977, at about 8:30 p.m. He left the store by the rear entrance, which opened to a parking lot shared with a supermarket, and vanished. An intensive search was executed that covered the entire metropolitan Detroit area, and there was widespread media coverage, already heavy with coverage of the previous three slayings. In an emotional television appeal, Timothy's father, Barry, begged the abductor to release his son unharmed. In a letter printed in the Detroit News , Miriam King wrote that she hoped Timothy could come home soon so she could serve him his favorite meal, Kentucky Fried Chicken s In the late evening hours of March 22, 1977, two teenagers in a car spotted his body in a shallow ditch alongside Gill Road, about 300 feet south of Eight Mile Road in Livonia , just across the county line in Wayne County .

His prized skateboard was placed next to his body. His clothing had been neatly pressed and washed. He had been suffocated and sexually assaulted with an object. The post-mortem showed that Timothy had eaten fried chicken before he was slain. Taken from Birmingham and deposited Eight Mile Road just across the county line in Wayne County. Gill Road, about 300 feet south of Eight Mile Road in Livonia. Trip distance: 22.38 miles Time: 33 mins. Birmingham - KFC - Kentucky Fried Chicken - 33900 Woodward Ave, Birmingham, MI, 48009. 2.5 to 3 miles from the boy's home.Note: Suffocation is normally a mechanism of death employed by females or "care givers."

Investigation:

After the discovery of Kristine Mihelich's body, authorities quickly realized they were dealing with three cases and evidence that were closely similar. Reports were released publicly of the possibility a serial killer was operating in the Oakland County area. The Michigan State Police led a group of law-enforcement officials from 13 communities in the formation of a task force , devoted solely to the investigation.

Soon after Timothy King was abducted, a composite drawing of the suspected kidnapper and his vehicle was released. A woman claimed she had seen a boy with a skateboard talking to a man in a parking lot of the drugstore that Timothy had told his parents he was going to ride his skateboard to. The vehicle was reportedly a blue AMC Gremlin with a white side stripe. Authorities would eventually question every Gremlin owner in Oakland County.

Investigators put together a profile of the killer based on witnesses' descriptions of the man seen talking to Timothy King the night he disappeared - a white male with a dark complexion, 25 to 35 years old with shaggy hair and sideburns. Authorities believed that the killer had a job that gave him freedom of movement and may have appeared to be someone that a child might trust, such as a police officer, clergyman or a doctor. He was also believed to be familiar with the area and had the ability to keep children for long periods of time without rousing neighbors' suspicions.

Psychiatrist Dr. Bruce Danto who worked with the task force received a letter several weeks after Timothy King's body was found from a man named "Allen", who claimed that he was the killer's roommate and even helped look after the victims. "Allen" said his roommate had been traumatized by killing children in Vietnam and was taking revenge out on more affluent citizens. Soon after, the psychiatrist got a phone call from "Allen", who offered to provide photographic evidence in exchange for immunity from prosecution. Under police surveillance, the psychiatrist arranged to meet "Allen" at a gay bar near Detroit's exclusive Palmer Woods neighborhood. "Allen" did not show, and was never heard from again. The task force checked out over 18,000 tips, but was unable to make much headway in the investigation. The task force disbanded in December 1978. The killer never struck again.

Suspects
Theodore Lamborgine

Police in Parma Heights, Ohio arrested Ted Lamborgine , a retired auto worker believed to have been involved in a child porn ring in the 1970s.
Lamborgine may also be a "person of interest" in the unsolved abduction/murder of 10-year-old Amy Mihaljevic , in Bay Village, Ohio , in 1989.Like the children from Oakland County, Amy was abducted in a business district, and seemed to go willingly with her kidnapper. Also like the children from Oakland County, Amy's body was discovered in a field just a few feet from a country road, as if it had been put there to be easily found.

On March 27, 2007, investigators told television station WXYZ that Lamborgine was considered the top suspect in this case. Lamborgine pleaded guilty to 15 sex-related counts involving young boys rather than accept a plea bargain that would have required him to take a polygraph test on the Oakland County child killings. Lamborgine also rejected an offer of a reduced sentence in exchange for a polygraph on the case.

In October 2007, the family of Mark Stebbins filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Lamborgine seeking $25,000. The lawsuit alleges Lamborgine, who lived in Metro Detroit in the late 1970s, abducted Stebbins and held him captive in a Royal Oak house for four days in February 1976 before smothering him to death during a sex assault.
Lamborgine has never been formally linked, let alone charged in the death of Stebbins, the first of four children who were abducted and slain between February 1976 and March 1977. Attorney David A. Binkley seeks compensation, including funeral costs, for Stebbins' brother, Michael, but stressed money is secondary.

Mark StebbinsFerndale, MI 12-years-oldHeld captive 4 daysTwelve-year-old Mark Stebbins was last seen at the Ferndale American Legion Hall just after noon on Sunday, February 15, 1976. He was homeward bound to watch a movie on television. The 4’8, 100 pound boy had reddish-blonde hair, blue eyes, and was wearing a blue hooded parka, blue jeans, red sweatshirt, and black rubber boots. His mother reported him missing when he hadn’t come home by 11 p.m. Four days later, on February 19, Mark’s lifeless body was found in Southfield, MI , by a businessman who was walking through the parking lot of a local shopping mall. One witness reported that when he walked his dog in the same area at 9:30 a.m., Mark’s body was not present at the location.

Cause of death was rule to be asphyxia due to smothering. Mark had sustained two lacerations on the back left side of his scalp, had discoloration on his wrists and ankles indicating he had been bound with rope (or similar type material), and had been sexually assaulted. Jill RobinsonRoyal Oak, MI 12-years-oldHeld captive 4 daysAfter having an argument with her mother, 12-year-old Jill Robinson of Royal Oak packed her denim backpack with some clothes and a blue and green plaid blanket and left home on her bicycle the evening of Wednesday, December 22, 1976. She was last seen wearing blue jeans, a shirt, a bright orange winter jacket, snow boots, and a blue knit cap with a yellow design on its border. Jill’s body was found the day after Christmas placed along a snowy shoulder of Interstate 75 just north of 16 Mile Road, near Big Beaver, in Troy, MI.

She had been placed on her back in plain sight of any possible passersby. Blood spatter evidence indicated that Jill had received a blast to the head from a 12-gauge shotgun as her body lay in the snow. She had not been sexually molested. Her bicycle was found the next day (December 27) by a neighborhood boy behind a Royal Oak business. It is uncertain if it was left there by Jill on the 22nd, or placed there by her killer sometime later. Kristine MihelichBerkley, MI 10-years-oldHeld captive 19 daysKristine Mihelich left home Sunday, January 02, 1977, at approximately 3 p.m. headed to the 7-11 Store on 12 Mile Road in Berkley. When the 10-year-old wasn’t home by 6 p.m. her mother reported her missing. The clerk at the store remembered a girl matching Kristine’s description buying a teen movie magazine. Though Detroit area television and radio stations broadcast details of Kristine’s disappearance, and while investigators chased many tips from the public for two weeks, it appeared as though Kristine had vanished into thin air. However, on January 21, 1977, at approximately 11:45 a.m., a mail carrier found Kristine’s discarded body near 13 Mile Road. It had been placed in plain sight in a snow-filled ditch alongside a dead-end road in Franklin Village, MI . Upon examination, it was determined that Kristine’s body had been at the site less than 24 hours. Just like Mark Stebbins, Kristine had been smothered. Authorities believe Kristine had been redressed by her killer, as her blouse had been tied in the front, and not in the back the way she normally did it. Likewise, her pants were tucked into her boots, which was also something that was out of character for Kristine.The autopsy physician did not find evidence of sexual molestation.

Timothy KingBirmingham, MI. 11-years-oldHeld captive 6 daysEleven-year-old Timothy King was last seen by his older sister the evening of Wednesday, March 16, 1977, as he left his Birmingham home. The sister was on her way out with friends, but gave Tim some money to spend on candy at a nearby store on Maple Road. When he left, he asked her to leave the door ajar so he could get back into the house. At approximately 9:00 his parents returned home, to find the door still ajar and the house empty. A saleswoman at the store he was headed towards reported seeing a boy matching his description the night Timothy disappeared.

Another witness reportedly saw Tim at approximately 8:30 p.m. that same night while she was loading groceries into her car. She described a small boy talking to a man standing by a car a few parking spots away. The boy was wearing a red jacket with emblems on it - which seemed to resemble Tim’s Birmingham Hockey Association jacket. The witness provided enough information to create a composite sketch of the man, and describe the car -- a dark blue Gremlin with a white "hockey stick" stripe on the side.Timothy’s body was discovered, fully dressed, six days after his disappearance on March 22, 1977, in a Livonia ditch off of Gill Road. He had been smothered to death 6 to 8 hours before his body was found; and had been placed in the ditch approximately 3 hours before discovery. He had been sexually assaulted and smothered. Autopsy results indicated that he had eaten a meal that included ‘fowl’ about an hour before he died. When found, Timothy’s body was very clean, including his fingernails and toenails (which were usually dirty), and his wrists had marks as though he had been bound for a period of time. The boy was fed his favorite meal, Kentucky Fried Chicken. The killer watched the newscast of his mother pleading for his safe return where she stated what his favorite meal was.

Of The Daily Oakland Press
He never found the killer, never solved the mystery surrounding the monster who silently, one by one, stole children off the streets.
Now, his son will try. Nearly 30 years after Robert Robertson led the original Oakland County Child Killer Task Force, his son, Detective Sgt. David Robertson, is joining the investigation into the unsolved 1976-77 slayings.

Michigan State Police announced Friday that they are renewing their efforts to solve the case, buoyed recently by new tips. They declined comment on those tips. "Good luck. He just said, 'Good luck,' " said Robertson, 46, of Westland, of his father's reaction that a second generation would be tackling the Child Killer murders. "He just wants somebody to solve it. He doesn't care who."

Four children were killed over 13 months in 1976-77, disappearing from streets that were supposed to be safe. As their families waited and hoped, the killer, dubbed "the Baby-sitter," toyed with them for days, keeping them alive, feeding them, bathing them, before he killed them, leaving their small bodies in the snow along roads and parking lots.
The slayings terrorized Oakland County. Streets were quiet as children were kept inside or escorted to schools. School counselors advised kids on staying safe. Warnings appeared on everything from T-shirts to restaurant place mats.

The victims were:
Mark Stebbins, 12, who was abducted while walking near his Ferndale home on Feb. 15, 1976. His body was found four days later - 29 years ago Friday - in the parking lot of a strip mall in Oak Park. The seventh-grader, smothered, had been sexually abused and rope marks were found on his ankles and wrists.

Jill Robinson, 12, who left her Royal Oak home Dec. 22, 1976, in a huff after an argument with her mother. Jill didn't want to bake biscuits for dinner. Her body was found the day after Christmas along Interstate 75 near Big Beaver Road in Troy. She was shot in the head at close range.
Kristine Mihelich, 10, was abducted near her Berkley home on Jan. 2, 1977, after buying a magazine at a nearby store. Nineteen days later, her body was found by a mail carrier who spotted her small hand sticking up through the snow on Bruce Lane, near 13 Mile and Telegraph roads in the village of Franklin. Like Stebbins, she was suffocated.
n Timothy King, 11, was kidnapped from a grocery store parking lot near his home in Birmingham on March 16, 1977. He was found March 22, just south of the Oakland County line in Livonia. He had been suffocated and, like Stebbins, abused.

Timothy King, 11 , borrowed 30 cents from his older sister and left his home in Birmingham , skateboard in hand, to buy candy at a drugstore on nearby Maple Road on Wednesday, March 16, 1977, at about 8:30 p.m. He left the store by the rear entrance, which opened to a parking lot shared with a supermarket, and vanished.

An intensive search was executed that covered the entire metropolitan Detroit area, and there was widespread media coverage, already heavy with coverage of the previous three slayings. In an emotional television appeal, Timothy's father, Barry, begged the abductor to release his son unharmed. In a letter printed in the Detroit News , Miriam King wrote that she hoped Timothy could come home soon so she could serve him his favorite meal, Kentucky Fried Chicken s In the late evening hours of March 22, 1977, two teenagers in a car spotted his body in a shallow ditch alongside Gill Road, about 300 feet south of Eight Mile Road in Livonia , just across the county line in Wayne County . His prized skateboard was placed next to his body. His clothing had been neatly pressed and washed. He had been suffocated and sexually assaulted with an object. The post-mortem showed that Timothy had eaten fried chicken before he was slain.

David Robertson's partner, Detective Sgt. Garry Gray, officially assigned the Michigan State Police investigation, says he happened to read an e-mail from a victim's father. It strengthened his resolve.
"(It said) 'I can't go on any longer, it's just too painful. The police have given up,' " Gray said.

"We haven't given up. We have not given up." Barry King, father of Timmy King, was at a police news conference Friday. He declined comment, but was not the author of the e-mail, Gray said.

The original Oakland County Child Killer Task Force at one point included more than 300 law enforcement personnel from dozens of agencies, with headquarters in a vacant Beverly Hills elementary school.
The task force was disbanded a few years later, but police departments continued to receive reports and tips, even decades after the slayings.
Last week, all of the yellowing files and nearly 100,000 tips collected were moved to the state police's Metro North post in Oak Park. Photos of an old blue Gremlin, once believed to be the killer's car, and old composite photos of suspects, hang on the walls there now.

Theories abound - on the Internet a man named "John" is identified as the killer. Others suggest it was a priest or a man posing as a police officer. Another points at a Troy engineering student.
In 1999, the body of autoworker David Norberg was exhumed from a Wyoming grave so his DNA could be compared with that of a hair found on one of the children's bodies. It wasn't a match.

Gray is hoping all of the old files can be collected in a centralized computer database similar to those used by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the FBI, ensuring the search for the killer continues.
In the last three decades, life has moved on for everyone involved. Detectives have retired. Robert Robertson, 71, a great-grandfather, is a snowbird now who spends his winters in Florida and summers in Greenville, Mich.

Life didn't stop for the victim's families, either. Some of them, like Ruth Stebbins - Mark Stebbins' mother - have died, never seeing justice done.
Some detectives have never given up, like Berkley police Detective Sgt. Ray Anger. At 64, he could have retired 10 years ago. One of the reasons he stays is the Oakland County Child Killer case.

He took the original missing child report from the Mihelich family.
He knew the Stebbins' family, too. On the day before she died, Anger made Ruth Stebbins a promise: "I can't promise you I'll ever solve it, but I'll never stop trying."

There are others - Ferndale Detective George Hartley, Oakland County Sheriff's Deputies Jim Ahern and Clay Jansen, a patrol officer when the children were killed, plus officers from Birmingham and Franklin. Joining their ranks now will be David Robertson. Like his father before him, he'll be searching for answers.

Robertson's dad, who retired in 1984 and served as an undersheriff in western Michigan, could not be interviewed. But he believed the killer was either dead or institutionalized, and was quoted at one time, saying, "I'm convinced he is not among us today."

His son said his father was not haunted by the case or the fact the killer was never caught. Instead, his dad finds comfort that the deluge of tips over the years helped solve dozens of other unrelated cases, Robertson said. The task force served as a model for other efforts, including the Atlanta Child Killer Task Force in the early 1980s.

His father, who received a commendation for his work with the Oakland County Child Killer Task Force, was also instrumental in the creation of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
He sees his father's work in old files, paperwork filled with familiar handwriting.

"RHR, that's how he signed everything," said Robertson, one of three brothers who work in law enforcement, including his twin brother, John, an Oakland County Sheriff's detective in Oxford.
Robertson says his dad, adamant about separating home and work life, never talked much about the case. But there were days he was gone by dawn, and home too late. His son hopes the answer will be found.
"To say we can't solve it? We can't do that," Robertson said.
"Somebody out there knows," said Anger. "Somebody out there knows."

Obama Denies It All

Brief Summary at first glimpse:

Born 4Th day of the month of August, 1961 :He is rather set in his ideas and tends to impose them on others, seeing himself as the final arbiter of good and correct ethics. His belief in discipline makes it hard for him to express his feelings, and as a result he suffers a great deal emotionally. When it comes to work, he drives himself tirelessly -- and, unfortunately,everyone else, too. He has a decided tendency to overwork and if need be he will schedule time for recreation which he uses to think about his next dynamic move.

There's an unmistakably regal arrogance to Barak Obama. Obama has a reputation for being conceited, but think again, it's narcissism that Obama displays. The Obama's love to feel important, but this generally takes the form of wanting to change the world in some way? To make the world a different but not a better place. Obama wants to create a world in his own image. They want to leave their mark and that mark is the downfall of the United States. What greater place in history could anyone hold but by being the one who brought down the most powerful nation on earth from within. If you think this is far fetched simply look at the people he associates himself with. Terrorist, hatemongers, and radical religious leaders who spew forth hatred towards others based on skin color and religious identity. When pressed about his associations Obama simply ignores, disavows, then separates himself for political purposes and moves on as if any accusation against him is meaningless. Example: If Joe Blow attends NAMBLA meetings for 20 years, then one can accurately determine Joe is a pedophile or he wouldn't be attending the meetings. Obama sat in a church which preaches bigotry, hatred and plays the blame game against "whitey" for 20 years. He uses these people and their psycho-social dynamics to obtain elected office all the while smiling and agreeing with them. Then when the obvious is pointed out to him, he will then "disavow" himself from them in public but not in private.

Obama's core base are extreme left wing socialist who for cultural reasons cannot or refuse to chase the so called "American dream". Those who do chase the American Dream are the enemy because they choose to follow this dream without the permission and consent of those who oppose it. Like jealous and ill mannered children the left wing has all the answers. They alone have the answer for the environment, how to raise children, they define education as to whatever their left wing doctrine espouses. Only they have the answers. College kids and I mean "kids" as they are clueless, immature and arrogant. They have all the answers. How do they have all the answers you ask? They have science or quasi-science, technology, ideology, dogma, and philosophy. Combine all this together and it's an actual religion. They sadly dismiss experience, morals, societal rules, customs, (unless it's an exotic, or selfish one), and they mistake deviousness for intelligence. Wisdom is a myth among these types as they have no understanding of it or it's value. They join in, blaming the victims and champion the cause of any oppressor who tickles their ears or presents a way of thinking that frees them to be selfish and superior to those whom they hate.

The history of the socialist is long and bloody. More blood has been shed by "socialist" than from any other movement known to human kind. Socialist are not in fact living up to the purest definition of the word. A socialist is to me, by their own actions, a massive group of sociopaths who hold a disdain for society and feel they alone have the answers. On college campuses they "preach" cultural diversity while cursing the traditional culture of those who are different from themselves such as "white Anglo Saxons" aka : "Whitey". Always, it depends on the culture you have as to whether or not these "enlightened" ones will accept you. You must do as they demand and live as they instruct or you are the enemy of the great social cause for which they see themselves as "champions".

"Uncle Joe Stalin" murdered more than 10,000,000 human beings himself. Lennon killed his millions, Pol Pot, Hitler, and the list goes on and on. They snuff out human life as if it has no meaning all in the name of socialism's Utopia. This mindset and these types of people are still with us today. The President of Iran is an example. He wants to wipe the earth clean of Jews and destroy the state of Israel. As I have said before, "ignorance can be cured but stupid is terminal." If you observe wars, such as the one currently in Iraq, you'll notice that the left is screaming, "end the war, bring home the troops, Bush lied." What you fail to see is that Saddam Hussein ruled over a "socialist" government as its dictator. He, at a whim could kill without opposition. This is very much a wonderful thing to socialist because they see Hussein as a leader who is protecting the masses from those who would bring down socialism and end the manufactured Utopia he created. "We are fighting for oil" The reality is it was necessary to overthrow this man who was attacking Kuwait, Israel and was bent on disrupting the worlds oil supply. Like it or not, there is a global oil based economy. If the global infrastructure fails without a ready replacement, the devastation would be unimaginable. Anarchy and war on a scale which mankind has never experienced.

Russia suffered for decades under this "Utopia" and millions were murdered for having what Obama calls the "audacity of hope" that he now espouses in his book. Yes, and the moderates and conservatives here in the United States have now awakened to the realization that socialism is coming to our shores with a vengeance. The result will be a civil war where socialist will lose greatly. At present their is a "social war" being waged via the media, college campuses, public schools, churches, mosques and in the political arena. If these battle fields fail to suffice those engaged in this epic struggle then it will end up being fought out violently in the streets from house to house. People who have freedom are not willing to give it up for some socialist dictatorship where they will be enslaved by the government and pressed into service like drones.
They (the Obama's) are generally motivated by affection given by their people, and often have big dreams and plans to that involve masses of people obeying them and following their lead. They enjoy this more than breathing. All socialist dictators do. Name one that didn't.Generally, the Obama's are results driven. After all, they are attracted to the good things in life, and they know they have to hustle to get them. It is sometimes difficult to imagine Obama's as go-getter's in the material sense of the word but if you happen to catch them in one of their languid moods you'll see them draped in the trappings of materialism. These people can't sleep in, laze around, and luxuriate for long periods of time. The reason being is a lack of trust of the public. They feel they must constantly be in the limelight with all eyes on them. They want to read the crowds and maintain their cult like power over their followers. However, when they do go to work, they do it with intensity and determination. In this way, they are not unlike their heroes Marx, Lennon, Hitler, and numerous other Islamic warlords. The worst thing you can do to Obama is accuse him of bad intentions. Displaying behavior that makes him think you don't appreciate him runs all over him and will result in feeling his "wrath". The arrogance of Obama when his wife is criticized takes us back to a time when no one spoke against the King or the Dictator.

These seemingly happy, jovial people become enraged when others don't see them for their noble intentions which are actually a feeding frenzy for their own egos. It was however quite fine to attack Hillary Clinton when she was first lady and even their daughter.Loyal to himself and his ideologies, and mostly pathological in his lying, Obama is, after all, a man on a mission. He holds on to situations and people for a very long time before he gives up or is finished using them. There is an unmistakable idealism to Obama's view of the world and the people in it. Often, the Obama's have a very powerful inner code that they answer to. Although on the surface, the Obama's appear rather humble, they can actually be some of the most vicious and evil souls around. They are the first to blame others when something goes wrong and take credit when someone else's work goes right.

Once again, it's the Obama's self-importance at work, and this characteristic works in unexpected ways. Instead of being the humble and compassionate people of the Dem's fantasy reputation, they are usually very self-aware, self-conscious, conceited, self-absorbed show-offs and, yes, even narrow minded.Short description:He is masterful, likes authority, aspires towards his ideals and is power hungry. He likes to give orders that he refers to as advice. He is dishonest, frank, rude, narcissistic and insincere. He affiliates himself with those who want power and they give it to him. See Farrakhan, Wright, and others.Weaknesses: pride, vanity, arrogance, presumption and disdain of others.He has a desire to be something special or to experience something more than the ordinary. He is a day-dreamer and idealist longing for greatness which came from loss and separation issues caused by his father leaving him. This has haunted Obama his entire life. It is not easy for him to trust others, even (and perhaps especially) people who might seem from the outside looking in and will always gravitate towards unsavory types because they possess a power to detach themselves from humanity or the need for "connection by commitment".

He is looking to identify with something beyond what is normally expected of people. He had a childhood that didn't help him direct or define his life so he followed the path of power and glory. Perhaps the early family life was lacking in supervision or clearly defined rules. His father figure was absent and the second one was distant and ineffective. He used to imagine a glorified image of his father as a child and by result has created himself in that image.

Whether the images were very positive or very negative (as it swings between these extremes), the images are not very clear or rational. Whatever the case may be, he struggles with defining who he is. He will gravitate towards the "wrong people", or get in with the "wrong crowd" in an attempt to define who he is and what power he can get from them to help create this world that he dreams of being King and dictator of.
He is not susceptible to being taken advantage of by others, especially by men or authority figures. On the contrary, he is a master manipulator. He is not easily led astray by peculiar desires or self-destructive habits as he feels the most important creature in the universe is in fact himself. There is nothing this man won't do to protect himself and his vision. In order to add a greater-than-ordinary dimension of experience to his life that helps him to feel special and important, He will be attracted to people with power fueled behaviors, such as secret affairs, dictators, warlords, powerful religious leaders or other escapist behaviors. Anyone who commands and controls lures Barak Obama. He is drawn to this control due to the pathology of his childhood where he had no control over others or even himself. He has craved that power all his life and is now in easy reach of it and it does not matter the cost to his family or anyone around him. He doesn't care about the "peasants" other than using them as cheerleaders and getting their votes. He gets involved in social issues to create a mass of people by being popular in their causes and is then able to point the peasant in his track record on defending them. He has in fact not been a defender but a controller. His "civil rights" legal work was simply to learn the ropes and manipulate the constitution and the law of the land.

To punish "whitey" and gain popularity among urban blacks such as the ones following Farrakhan and Wright was his inner goal.
In many ways, he feels a strong urge to glamorize his role in the world. There can be some confusion about the past (such as remembering childhood experiences in ways that are far removed from reality), and a tendency to daydream about being someone more "important" than he feels he is. He may struggle with early conditioning that made him feel tossed aside or neglected in some way, and certainly not directed or supported. He is very sensitive, especially with regards to any real or imagined blows to his ego. Still, he is likely to recognize at some point in his life that he does have a tendency to engage in escapist and destructive fantasies or associations. It is useful to for him to be able to connect these behaviors with their probable source, which is likely to be a weakly-defined ego and identity in childhood. Familiarity is important to Obama. His people are mostly uneducated or easily deceived and strong-willed. Among those who fit this bill are those of college age and people who live in the inner city, all of whom are also of the escapist and power hungry. They want to change the world to the way their ego demands it to be. They feel with their senses and they are pretty much rooted in their ways. They revel in material comforts--in fact, building a solid and comfortable "crib" or home and material foundation helps to keep them feeling safe and content and in control.

Power is what they crave because during their developmental stages they were often times denied power or "say" in their homes. These people were self willed, spoiled, and very arrogant children who learned the subtleties of manipulation at an early age. They feel they are the "most educated" and best suited to command others to march humbly into the world they create and control.It isn't wise to try to push the Obama's and their followers into doing anything, but once they have made a commitment, they're persevering out of a sense of arrogance and not purpose. There's a steadiness to their position or ideas that is comforting to those enjoy "following". The dictatorial streak in these psychotic individuals can be maddening to more open minded and progressive personalities. They tend to go out of their way to avoid "messy" or unpredictable situations, crises, and emotional displays. Instead, they focus on creating a reliable and secure life around themselves but will organize like a single cell organism to get what they want. In relationships, the Obama type communist will not recognize their victims need for change, growth, or emotional relief.Short description: Convinced of his ideas and strong-willed. He is foresighted and willful. He knows how to manipulate. He appreciates all the good things in life. He appreciates and protects himself above all else.Weaknesses: excesses in pleasure, materialism, power, sensuality, and thoughtlessness.Obama can be quite expressive and animated in his speech.

He has an outstanding memory and tends to pick up a lot of information from his environment. He loves to chat and to exchange his ideas for yours. For the most part, He is focused on day-to-day activities in his communications rather than on ideas of others. He is naturally curious about how he can best win you over and very disinterested in your facts and how they effect him and his vision but will with his dogma and ideologies overwhelm your facts with his vision. Others find him very easy to talk to because he will let you yammer on until you have fully expressed your ideas and leave you feeling as if he actually cares. He doesn't, he is merely thinking of ways around your ideas and how he can prove you wrong with his.

Then he will seem accommodating and curious, but people are not as well equipped to handle an individual such as Obama. He thrives on change and variety. You see, no one helped him when his life was changed and a variety of men came to his house, so his deep seated anger is reflected in his desire to disrupt the lives of those who he feels are of the ilk that caused his childhood trauma. Obama's lack of power in his childhood created a deep frustration. He was moved from country to country and state to state without being consulted. His birth father left him and caused psychological trauma as he has tried to deal with the "whys" of it all. His stepfather was in total control and Obama resented this. He learned how to manipulate and control during his youth. He observed those with power included politicians, lawyers, clergy, warlords and militants. He is a passionate person, who feeling in control of the lives of others thrives on this type of power he was once denied. Although his emotions are powerful and immediate, his passion is generally controlled and directed towards those people or causes that enable him to exact his revenge. He gravitates towards Islamic terror groups who in fact support him because they are vengeful and let no one stop or dissuade them. He is a driven person who nevertheless doesn't get too carried away or controlled by his opposition.

He has visited the Palestinian occupied territories but didn't bother stopping in to visit with the "Zionist Jews." Hamas supports him, Fatah and Hezbollah also, but he claims he has no part in them, but has gone and visited with them. He has been an affiliate and friend of the Nation of Islam for years, yet denies it.

Because his emotions are strong and he knows how to channel them into constructive channels, he doesn't easily understand such things as "crimes of passion", impulsive behaviors, or emotional excitability in his thoughts. He appears generally open, accepting, and natural in his philosophical expressions but that couldn't be farther from the truth. He needs an emotional connection in order to feel complete on a physical level and his wife and biggest cheerleader fills the bill. He may have an affection and talent for sports, as do most emotionally arrested adolescents in adult bodies, but other factors such as the "rush of power" are necessary to provide the motivation and commitment. Short description: He is blunt, dishonest, full of vigor and ambition. He is strong-willed and powerful at work, in the home and in the community. He is a very hard on himself when he fails, but, above all, he is even harder on others whose capacity for action is not as great as his.He easily controls his feelings, as I have observed blunted emotions in him. He has a sense of duty, of self-esteem and is prudent when it comes to decisions that effect him. He can concentrate on a long-term task, manual or intellectual. He perseveres and is serious in everything he does.He has a feverish, non-constructive restlessness. He is sometimes too susceptible to his own passions. His life is full of change and he plays chess mentally against himself. He is irritable and stubborn at times due to an inner restlessness that is hard to satisfy. He has difficulty focusing on the true feelings of others. Nervous strain is easily hidden by him. His friendships are like his professional and love life - sometimes unstable but nonetheless chosen by him for their usefulness.

There is a strong need for closeness, but when people get too close, he gets cagey, as he values personal freedom just as much, but not so for others. He will make decisions for them.He wants to know the bottom line, and is good at scoping out a situation and finding answers to problems that face him and not others. In fact, he is a problem-flipper, this means he will create problems for the opposition instead of dealing with or solving his own, and will spend a lot of time directing others to solve his problems if need be. Very friendly and seemingly positive, he can be charming in a warm way. Enthusiastic speaker, speaks with authority and false sincerity. Great sense of organization. Obama likes to take risks in jest and for amusement and the adrenolin rush He may sometimes come across too strongly or offend sensitive folk with a somewhat authoritative tone but he actually doesn't care for as they say, "from the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. "Hold on a second sweety." the reporter was beneath him so he treated her like dismissing a child. How dare she have the audacity of hope to speak to him while he was focused and busy?

How this will play out in foreign policy:
He is and will be frivolous and imprudent. He lacks judgement, and is full of self-importance. He has difficulty in realizing his plans, because he lacks clarity and rates his qualities higher than they are. He is poised to pounce on Israel and other US allies while opening the door for Islamitist or Islamonazi's. Obama must have revenge for his life and he must have it now. He must have the power he believes he was destined to have.
He is reserved, conservative in dress and personal finances, he is liberal in spending the money of others, ambitious and stubborn. He has a slow mind when stressed and has problems expressing himself so he fills speaches with tired and often repeated sentences at each local. He is "scripted" but must have the final say in what goes into the script. It must make hims sound important and knowledgable. Social success is slow and laborious, but he does not give up easily and is patient and will climb any social ladder to get what he needs regardless of the "color" of that ladder.

(Barack Hussein Obama II ) is the junior United States Senator from Illinois. He is now the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party in the 2008 presidential election. He is the first African American to be a major party's presumptive nominee for President of the United States.
A graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School Obama worked as a community organizer and practiced as a civil rights attorney before serving in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004. From 1992 to 2004, he also taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School . Following an unsuccessful bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2000, he announced his campaign for the U.S. Senate in January 2003. After winning a landslide primary victory in March 2004, Obama delivered the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July 2004. He was elected to the Senate in November 2004 with 70% of the vote.

As a member of the Democratic minority in the 109th Congress he cosponsored legislation to control conventional weapons and to promote greater public accountability in the use of federal funds. He also made official trips to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. In the current 110th Congress , he has sponsored legislation regarding lobbying and electoral fraud , climate change , nuclear terrorism , and care for returned U.S. military personnel. Since announcing his presidential campaign in February 2007, Obama has emphasized ending the war in Iraq , increasing energy independence , decreasing the influence of lobbyists , and promoting universal health care as top national priorities.

Obama was born on August 4 , 1961 , at the Kapiolani Medical Center in Honolulu , Hawaii , to Barack Obama, Sr. , of Nyangoma-Kogelo Siaya District , Kenya and Ann Dunham , of Wichita , Kansas . His parents met while both were attending the University of Hawaii at Manoa , where his father was enrolled as a foreign student. They separated when he was two years old and later divorced.

After her divorce, Dunham married Lolo Soetoro , and the family moved to Soetoro's home country of Indonesia in 1967, where Obama attended local schools in Jakarta until he was ten years old. He then returned to Honolulu to live with his maternal grandparents while attending Punahou School from the fifth grade in 1971 until his graduation from high school in 1979. Following high school, Obama moved to Los Angeles , where he studied at Occidental College for two years.

He then transferred to Columbia University in New York City , where he majored in political science with a specialization in international relations Obama graduated with a B.A. from Columbia in 1983, then worked at Business International Corporation and New York Public Interest Research Group .After four years in New York City, Obama moved to Chicago to work as a community organizer for three years from June 1985 to May 1988 as director of the Developing Communities Project (DCP), a church-based community organization originally comprising eight Catholic parishes in Greater Roseland (Roseland West Pullman ,and Riverdale on Chicago's far South Side During his three years as the DCP's director, its staff grew from 1 to 13 and its annual budget grew from $70,000 to $400,000, with accomplishments including helping set up a job training program, a college preparatory tutoring program, and a tenants' rights organization in Altgeld Gardens . Obama also worked as a consultant and instructor for the Gamaliel Foundation, a community organizing institute.

In mid-1988, he traveled for the first time to Europe for three weeks then Kenya for five weeks where he met many of his Kenyan relatives for the first time.Obama entered Harvard Law School in late 1988 and at the end of his first year was selected as an editor of the law review based on his grades and a writing competition. In his second year he was elected president of the law review, a full-time volunteer position functioning as editor-in-chief and supervising the law review's staff of 80 editors. Obama's election in February 1990 as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review was widely reported and followed by several long, detailed profiles. He graduated with a J.D. from Harvard in 1991 and returned to Chicago where he had worked as a summer associate at the law firms of Sidley & Austin in 1989 and Hopkins & Sutter in 1990.

The publicity from his election as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review led to a contract and advance to write a book about race relations. In an effort to recruit him to their faculty, the University of Chicago Law School provided Obama with a fellowship and an office to work on his book. He originally planned to finish the book in one year, but it took much longer as the book evolved into a personal memoir, at one point Obama retreated to Bali for several months with his wife, Michelle, to work on it without interruptions, before it was finally published as Dreams from My Father in mid-1995. (The father who left him?) This points to a dreamscape where his father is a hero and not a deadbeat who abandoned him.

Obama directed Illinois Project Vote! from April to October 1992, a voter registration drive with a staff of 10 and 700 volunteers that achieved its goal of registering 150,000 of 400,000 unregistered African Americans in the state, leading Crain's Chicago Business to name Obama to its 1993 list of "40 under Forty" powers to be.Obama taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School for twelve years, as a Lecturer for four years (1992-1996), and as a Senior Lecturer for eight years (1996-2004).

In 1993 Obama joined Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland, a 12-attorney law firm specializing in civil rights litigation and neighborhood economic development, where he was an associate for three years from 1993 to 1996, then of counsel from 1996 to 2004, with his law license becoming inactive in 2002.

Obama was a founding member of the board of directors of Public Allies in 1992, resigning before his wife, Michelle, became the founding executive director of Public Allies Chicago in early 1993. He served on the board of directors of the Woods Fund of Chicago, which in 1985 had been the first foundation to fund Obama's DCP, from 1993-2002, and served on the board of directors of The Joyce Foundation from 1994-2002. Obama served on the board of directors of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge from 1995-2002, as founding president and chairman of the board of directors from 1995-1999. He also served on the board of directors of the Chicago Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, the Center for Neighborhood Technology, and the Lugenia Burns Hope Center.

Mr.Raila Odinga an African warlord, communist, and presumptive cousin of Obama's, in effect offered to Islamize Kenya in return for Muslim votes, despite the fact that Muslims make up only 10% of the population, compared to the 80% who are Christian. Mr. Odinga himself is nominally an Anglican, yet he signed a document that refers to Islam throughout as "the one true religion" and denigrates Christians as "worshippers of the cross." This is one of many political techniques Obama has learned over the years.Odinga was involved in particular, the burning of a church with up to 50 men, women, and children inside, while machete-armed mobs slaughter up to 600 more people, have evoked memories of the Rwandan genocide of 1994. But I'm sure cousin Raila did it for the good of the workers.Who is behind these massacres? The communist rebel leader, Raila Odinga.Mr. Odinga's father, Oginga Odinga, led the Communist opposition during the Cold War and Raila Odinga was educated in Communist East Germany. His eldest son is named after Fidel Castro. Even more sinister has been Mr. Odinga's electoral pact with the National Muslim Leaders' Forum - a hardline Islamist organization that represents Kenya's Muslim minorityWhat, you will be asking by now, what does any of this have to do with Barack Obama? Mr. Odinga even claims that Mr. Obama is his cousin. Whether or not this true, the two men are friends and political allies. In August 2006, Mr. Obama visited Kenya and spoke in support of Mr. Odinga's candidacy. Obama's grandfather was a communist who supported the brutal Maumau uprising in Kenya when many white settlers were murdered. His father was sent out of the country.

Let's call this: The Dreams of My Grandfathers. Look up the MauMau Uprising with your search engine. Get the truth and then make an informed decision.Globalists have endorsed Obama. The globalist agenda includes communism as a world government. Look at Cuba and imagine the entire USA and World as depressing as that pitiful island. This has to be stopped.

Here's how the story ends:"Even more serious are the doubts raised by Mr. Obama's attitude toward Islam, which has so far received much less scrutiny than might be expected in a post-September 11 presidential election. If Mr. Obama did not know about Mr. Odinga's electoral deal with the Kenyan Islamists when he offered his support, then he should have known. If he did know, then he is guilty of lending the prestige of his office to America's enemies in the global war on terror. We need to know exactly what Mr. Obama knew about Mr. Odinga, and precisely when he knew it." But again, this is silly, he will just lie his way out with some lame off the cuff explanation and his followers will bow down and sing. What the hell is the Democratic Party doing by supporting such a candidate as Obama? Birds of a feather. Simply put.

It shows Sheikh Mahmed Hassan dressing Obama as a Somali elder during Obama's visit to Wajir, a rural area in northeastern Kenya near the borders with Somalia and Ethopia.

The Obama campaign then disavowed the National Examiner's sensationalism, arguing that Obama was dressed in traditional tribal garb, not "Muslim attire," much as President Bush or other U.S. leaders take on local clothing or traditional native costumes when meeting in foreign countries.

Somalia is almost entirely Sunni Muslim, so in that sense the Somali elder garb is also Islamic, but Obama has long denied being a Muslim, asserting that he is Christian, with membership in a Chicago church that focuses on its blackness and support for Africa.

In recent years, a number of Islamic attacks on Christian churches have been reported in Kenya, where the population of some 30 million is about 85 percent Christian and only about 15 percent Muslim.
The board of a nonprofit organization on which Sen. Barack Obama served as a paid director alongside a confessed domestic terrorist granted funding to a controversial Arab group that mourns the establishment of Israel as a "catastrophe" and supports intense immigration reform, including providing drivers licenses and education to illegal aliens. This of course is the socialsist way of life.The co-founder of the Arab group in question, Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi, also has held a fundraiser for Obama. Khalidi is a jew hater and critic of Israel, has made statements supportive of Palestinian terror and reportedly has worked on behalf of the Palestine Liberation Organization while it was involved in anti-Western terrorism and was labeled by the State Department as a terror group. Khalidi thinks Israeli's should stand still, unarmed and die without putting up a fight. How dare the Jews have the "audacity of hope?"In 2001, the Woods Fund, a Chicago-based nonprofit that describes itself as a group helping the disadvantaged, provided a $40,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network, or AAAN, for which Khalidi's wife, Mona, serves as president. The Fund provided a second grant to the AAAN for $35,000 in 2002.

Obama was a director of the Woods Fund board from 1999 to Dec. 11, 2002, according to the Fund's website. According to tax filings, Obama received compensation of $6,000 per year for his service in 1999 and 2000. Obama served on the Wood's Fund board alongside William C. Ayers, a member of the Weathermen terrorist group which sought to overthrow of the U.S. government and took responsibility for bombing the U.S. Capitol in 1971.Ayers, who still serves on the Woods Fund board, contributed $200 to Obama's senatorial campaign fund and has served on panels with Obama at numerous public speaking engagements. Ayers admitted to involvement in the bombings of U.S. governmental buildings in the 1970s. He is a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago.The $40,000 grant from Obama's Woods Fund to the AAAN constituted about a fifth of the Arab group's reported grants for 2001, according to tax filings obtained by WND. The $35,000 Woods Fund grant in 2002 also constituted about one-fifth of AAAN's reported grants for that year.The AAAN, headquartered in the heart of Chicago's Palestinian immigrant community, describes itself as working to "empower Chicago-area Arab immigrants and Arab Americans through the combined strategies of community organizing, advocacy, education and social services, leadership development, and forging productive relationships with other communities."It reportedly has worked on projects with the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, which supports open boarders and education for illegal aliens.

The AAAN in 2005 sent a letter to New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson in which it called a billboard opposing a North Carolina-New Mexico joint initiative to deny driver's licenses to illegal aliens a "bigoted attack on Arabs and Muslims." Speakers at AAAN dinners and events routinely have taken an anti-Israel line.The group co-sponsored a Palestinian art exhibit, titled, "The Subject of Palestine," that featured works related to what some Palestinians call the "Nakba" or "catastrophe" of Israel's founding in 1948.According to the widely discredited Nakba narrative, Jews in 1948 forcibly expelled hundreds of thousands - some Palestinians claim over one million - Arabs from their homes and then took over the territory.

Historically, about 600,000 Arabs fled Israel after surrounding Arab countries warned they would destroy the Jewish state in 1948. Some Arabs also were driven out by Jewish forces while they were trying to push back invading Arab armies. At the same time, over 800,000 Jews were expelled or left Arab countries under threat after Israel was founded.The theme of AAAN's Nakba art exhibit, held at DePaul University in 2005, was "the compelling and continuing tragedy of Palestinian life ... under [Israeli] occupation ... home demolition ... statelessness ... bereavement ... martyrdom, and ... the heroic struggle for life, for safety, and for freedom." Did you know that their is NO palestinian language, history, culture or people? Did you know that "Palestine" was the name given to Israel (Judea) by a roman ruler in order to wipe the name of Israel of the map? Did you know that this mythical "palestine" used to be in Egypt? Then it was in Jordan and then Lebanon and finally Israel. Another AAAN initiative, titled, "Al Nakba 1948 as experienced by Chicago Palestinians," seeks documents related to the "catastrophe" of Israel's founding. A post on the AAAN site asked users: "Do you have photos, letters or other memories you could share about Al-Nakba-1948?" That posting was recently removed.

The AAAN website currently states the entire site is under construction. I have watched first hand as Israel has suffered under the constant yet futile attacks from Islamic nazis and communist. I have watched as ISM (International Solidarity Movement) members (communist) harass Israeli soldiers and citizens while helping terror groups in their mission to kill Jews/Israelis. I also saw the aftermath of one Rachel Corries battle with a bulldozer. This person was not a sweet and angelic defender of the oppressed she was a rabid Jew hating creature who screamed obsenities and wishes of death to Jews. Pro-PLO advocate held Obama fundraiser, describes Obama as 'sympathetic'AAAN co-founder Rashid Khalidi was reportedly a director of the official PLO press agency WAFA in Beirut from 1976 to 1982, while the PLO committed scores of anti-Western attacks and was labeled by the U.S. as a terror group.

Khalidi's wife, AAAN President Mona Khalidi, was reportedly WAFA's English translator during that period.Rashid Khalidi at times has denied working directly for the PLO but Palestinian diplomatic sources in Ramallah told WND he indeed worked on behalf of WAFA. Khalidi also advised the Palestinian delegation to the Madrid Conference in 1991.During documented speeches and public events, Khalidi has called Israel an "apartheid system in creation" and a destructive "racist" state. He has multiple times expressed support for Palestinian terror, calling suicide bombings response to "Israeli aggression." He dedicated his 1986 book, "Under Siege," to "those who gave their lives ... in defense of the cause of Palestine and independence of Lebanon." Critics assailed the book as excusing Palestinian terrorism. Think about Israeli aggression as they PLO tries to "push the Jews into the sea." Now, who would be the aggressors here? If you follow the thinking of the PLO and their lies that the land belongs to them that they won it in war, then Israel won it back. It was Israel long before Rome pronounced it "Palestina".

If those rules are out the door, then I claim Mecca as mine and they can all leave. While the Woods Fund's contribution to Khalidi's AAAN might be perceived as a one-time run in with Obama, the presidential hopeful and Khalidi evidence a deeper relationship.According to a professor at the University of Chicago who said he has known Obama for 12 years, the Democratic presidential hopeful first befriended Khalidi when the two worked together at the university. The professor spoke on condition of anonymity. Khalidi lectured at the University of Chicago until 2003 while Obama taught law there from 1993 until his election to the Senate in 2004. Khalidi in 2000 held what was described as a successful fundraiser for Obama's failed bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, a fact not denied by Khalidi.

Speaking in a joint interview with WND and the John Batchelor Show of New York's WABC Radio and Los Angeles' KFI Radio, Khalidi was asked about his 2000 fundraiser for Obama."I was just doing my duties as a Chicago resident to help my local politician," Khalidi stated.Khalidi said he supports Obama for president "because he is the only candidate who has expressed sympathy for the Palestinian cause." Khalidi also lauded Obama for "saying he supports talks with Iran. If the U.S. can talk with the Soviet Union during the Cold War, there is no reason it can't talk with the Iranians." Asked about Obama's role funding the AAAN, Khalidi claimed he had "never heard of the Woods Fund until it popped up on a bunch of blogs a few months ago." He terminated the call when petitioned further about his links with Obama.

Contacted by phone, Mona Khalidi refused to answer WND's questions about the AAAN's involvement with Obama. Obama's campaign headquarters did not reply to a list of WND questions sent by e-mail to the senator's press office.Obama, American terrorist in same circles: Birds of a feather.....Obama served on the board with Ayers, who was a Weathermen leader and has written about his involvement with the group's bombings of the New York City Police headquarters in 1970, the Capitol in 1971 and the Pentagon in 1972."I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough," Ayers told the New York Times in an interview released on Sept. 11, 2001."Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon," Ayers wrote in his memoirs, titled "Fugitive Days." He continued with a disclaimer that he didn't personally set the bombs, but his group set the explosives and planned the attack.A $200 campaign contribution is listed on April 2, 2001 by the "Friends of Barack Obama" campaign fund. The two taught appeared speaking together at several public events, including a 1997 University of Chicago panel entitled, "Should a child ever be called a 'super predator?'" and another panel for the University of Illinois in April 2002, entitled, "Intellectuals: Who Needs Them?"

The charges against Ayers were dropped in 1974 because of prosecutorial misconduct, including illegal surveillance.Ayers is married to another notorious Weathermen terrorist, Bernadine Dohrn, who has also served on panels with Obama. Dohrn was once on the FBI's Top 10 Most Wanted List and was described by J. Edgar Hoover as the "most dangerous woman in America." Ayers and Dohrn raised the son of Weathermen terrorist Kathy Boudin, who was serving a sentence for participating in a 1981 murder and robbery that left 4 people dead.Obama advisor wants talks with terroristsThe revelations about Obama's relationship with Khalidi follows a recent WND article quoting Israeli security officials who expressed "concern" about Robert Malley, an adviser to Obama who has advocated negotiations with Hamas and providing international assistance to the terrorist group. Malley, a principal Obama foreign policy adviser, has penned numerous opinion articles, many of them co-written with a former adviser to the late Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat, petitioning for dialogue with Hamas and blasting Israel for numerous policies he says harm the Palestinian cause. Malley also previously penned a well-circulated New York Review of Books piece largely blaming Israel for the collapse of the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations at Camp David in 2000 when Arafat turned down a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza and eastern sections of Jerusalem and instead returned to the Middle East to launch an intifada, or terrorist campaign, against the Jewish state. Malley's contentions have been strongly refuted by key participants at Camp David, including President Bill Clinton, then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and primary U.S. envoy to the Middle East Dennis Ross, all of whom squarely blamed Arafat's refusal to make peace for the talks' failure.

The former insider also identified former Obama worker Shakir Muhammad as a Nation of Islam activist. Muhammad was paid by Obama's office as a photographer in the late 1990s.
According to a black supremacist source tied to Farrakhan, Muhammad previously worked as a bodyguard for the Nation of Islam chief.
The Anti-Defamation League identifies the Nation of Islam, the oldest black nationalist organization, as consistently racist and anti-Semitic.
The Nation of Islam operates "under the guise of instilling African-Americans with a sense of empowerment since its founding in the 1930s," reads an ADL description. Mason did not return a WND request for comment at Obama's Chicago office. Miller did not reply to phone messages left on her cell phone. Michael Ortiz, Obama's deputy press secretary, did not return a WND request for comment about Illinois senator's alleged ties to Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam.WND verified the former insider speaking about Obama's Nation of Islam workers held a key position with the presidential candidate.

The former insider said he quit, in part, because of Obama's ties to the Nation of Islam and the senator's positions on Israel. He previously also talked with columnist Debbie Schlussel, who first wrote about the Nation of Islam employees on Obama's staff. "How many Nation of Islam members will work in an Obama White House?" Schlussel asked on her blog. The exact nature of Obama's ties to Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam are not unclear but are guarded.

Trumpet magazines cover showed Barack Obama and his former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. The presidential candidate repeatedly has denounced Farrakhan's views and would not accept the Nation of Islam leader's high profile endorsement.

"You know, I have been very clear in my denunciation of minister Farrakhan's anti-Semitic comments. I think they are unacceptable and reprehensible. I did not solicit this support," Obama said on NBC in February.

"We're not doing anything, I assure you, formally or informally with minister Farrakhan," Obama said. But Obama's former church of 20 years - Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago - and his former spiritual adviser, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., have a different view of Farrakhan.

Wright, who accompanied Farrakhan to Libya in 1984, has been involved in Farrakhan initiatives and labeled him "one of the most important voices in the 20th and 21st century" during a national address to the media in April at which Nation of Islam officials were invited guests.
Obama has appeared at least three times on the cover of Trumpet magazine, founded by Wright, which in 2007 gave Farrakhan its Empowerment Award.

The magazine, to which Obama last year granted a lengthy, exclusive interview, regularly hails Farrakhan. Obama's face was featured on the cover of a 2006 issue of Trumpet alongside Farrakhan's image.
Wright and Obama reportedly attended the Million Man March on Washington, which was led by Farrakhan and other prominent black leaders such as Al Sharpton.

Another Obama connection to supporters of Farrakhan comes from Obama's chief political strategist, David Axelrod.

Axelrod sits on the finance committee of St. Sabina, the Chicago Catholic parish that was led by controversial pastor Michael Pfleger, an outspoken Farrakhan supporter who hosted the Nation of Islam chief at his parish several times.

The Archdiocese of Chicago yesterday removed Pfleger from his duties at St. Sabina for an unspecified time following a well-publicized sermon at Trinity church two weeks ago in which Pfleger claimed Sen. Hillary Clinton cried in public because she thought being white entitled her to the Democratic presidential nomination.

Pfleger told the Chicago Sun-Times he felt free to speak about Clinton because he believed his sermon was not being recorded. He said he thought the live Internet link that normally broadcasts Trinity sermons was not running.

"They told me it was down," Pfleger said. "Their live streaming had been down all day, and they didn't know whether it was back up. … I regret the dramatization that I was naive enough to believe was just going to be kept among that church."

Pfleger hosted Farrakhan at his church as late as last May, Farrakhan's first public appearance since he announced in 2006 he had been suffering from prostate cancer and was seriously ill.
According to reports, Pfleger spent hours with the Nation of Islam chief during his illness. Pfleger previously enlisted Farrakhan's support for several of his initiatives, including an anti-gun protest last year. Do they actually think that this "global jihad" that is in the works will spare them? Are they as stupid as they act?

Rev. Willie Barrow, a member of the Obama campaign's official Faith Outreach Team, and a pledged Obama superdelegate, is a close friend of Farrakhan's and a staunch Nation of Islam supporter. Farrakhan stated in a 2002 interview he met with Barrow to devise his Nation of Islam platforms.
In 2006, Barrow condemned four Jewish members of the Illinois state Hate Crimes Commission, after Blagojevich refused to remove from the commission Sister Claudette Muhammad, Farrakhan's minister of protocol.
"Not only should [Muhammad] continue to serve on the commission, but, I think those that resigned because they disagree, what have they done to bring about an agreement?" Barrow told the CBS affiliate in Chicago, WBBM.
