Trick Or Treat? - Alleged African Press/Fox News Deal: Sean Hannity And Greta Van Susteren To Air The Michelle Obama Tape In Less Than 24 Hrs? - Update
*** Update:
Are we about to finally hear this damn thing? Has it been some bullshit fake/lie to deflect conservative blog attention in a wild goose chase direction?
Granted, I see those of you that say it would be too little too late just days out from the election. However, as that old saying goes … Good things come in small packages …
And so, we wait and see. As I post this update it’s well after midnight here. I will try tomorrow to contact a human being at Fox tomorrow and see if I so much as get an “ho-hum”, laughed at in my face, or a “well, we really can’t say …”

Many have been wondering about what will happen to the Michelle Obama tape, now that API has received death threats for planning to have the tape aired. Death threats mounted after API refused an offer of 3 million US dollars by Senator Obama’s Campaign manager.
There has been speculations that Fox News may deny that there is an agreement already reached that gives the them permission to air the tape. The public who are aware of the existence of a tape should be aware that some elements in our society would not like the message in the tape to come out.
The agreement stipulates that any information on the day and hour the tape will be aired will only be announce 15 minutes to the airing time. This was agreed upon to avoid any pressure being directed to Fox News Network by individuals who would want to get the details about the tape in question.
The airing of the tape can take place any time from this day and due to its sensitivity, people who will inquire from Fox News and API for details will either get a no comment answer or that there is no agreement on the table.
We are aware of the fact that some people made inquiries today by emailing or telephoning Fox News and may have been disappointed with the answers they got. API is not here to mislead anyone and takes the responsibility to inform its loyal readers that the tape will be aired unless pressure wins over any of the parties involved, of which case that will amount to a breach of contract. Such a thing is unacceptable because API is committed to let the American people get the information in the tape and judge for themselves what value it may have in their political lives.
Although the parties had agreed that the particular shows going to air the tapes should not be made public before 15 minutes to airing of the tapes, public pressure has forced us to make this revelation earlier than we should. Both parties, API and Fox are in agreement that no further details will be released on the subject.
While we struggle to have the Michelle Obama tape, the McCain camp is struggling to have another tape that has information relevant to the campaign. The taped conversation has Mr obama when he was dining with friends considered radicals and supporters of terrorism.
——————————————————————————————-
What do we make of this?
Well, we hold a healthy margin of skepticism … with a dash of hope the damn thing is real and ‘damning’ …
So, why is this ‘prospect’ so possibly important?
Well, it is clear to see within our own country Obama has not only divided his own party by what he and his MSM minions did to Hillary Clinton during the democrat primaries, and is now dividing the country with his ‘hypnotic’ socialist views … but apparently caused division within Africa with his helping Raila Odinga win the election for president in Kenya.
And IF the content of what is allegedly said on this alleged tape is true, Obama’s wife took the campaign’s race baiting, race card playing skills all the way across the Atlantic via a telephone call to play it with this African news organization.
Lots of things have happened in and around my life over the years around Halloween and All Saints Day.
There were several years there where I ALWAYS broke a toe around Halloween … but I have in recent years learned to wear something on my feet during the day.
My Grandmother died a day before Halloween, and was buried on All Saints Day.
My region of the country is notorious for what we call the November Witch(es) … sudden and nasty, sometimes deadly, winter-like storms that come down out of Canada across the Great Lakes, picking up the moisture and dumping it as a winter mess on us. (See: Edmund Fitzgerald … and The Perfect Storm).
Could this be a November Witch … or a “Trick or Treat”?
As with all news providers we want to be responsible, especially in this current climate of irresponsible news reporting, or non-reporting … but this keeps coming across my computer desk over the last week or so as ‘developing’ … and if not true, we would be kicking our own asses for NOT having covered it, at least with that “healthy margin of skepticism”.
To be fair, my attempts to contact someone actually breathing at Fox News have only gotten me a run-around recordings on voice mails.
Stand by ….
Michelle Obama tapes to be aired any day/time from now: API and Fox News Network (USA) in a final agreement on the airing days/time
by Chief Editor Korir/ African Press International - API
on October 29, 2008
A final agreement has been reached between African Press International (API) and Fox News Network (USA) on the dates to air the Michelle Obama tape arising from a discussion Mrs Obama had with the API two weeks ago. The show will take place any day/time from now, with a 15 minutes alert on when it is to take place. Other programmes will be interrupted. This is a precaution taken to avoid interference from any quarter.
In the agreement, Fox News Network will broadcast 39 minutes of the 54 minutes long tape. The whole tape cannot be aired unedited due to security reasons and especially due to the explosive political temperature in the country because of the Presidential elections that is just around the corner, November 4th.
The tape will be aired in two portions by two separate units in the Network. API’s representative will appear live in one of the shows.
The parties have agreed that the information to be released to the public on the agreement will not include the naming of the units at Fox News Network that will air the tapes in order to avoid outside pressure and influence of any kind before the show has taken place. Nondisclosure of the name of the shows that will air the tapes has become necessary due to pressure from groups interested to block the release of the contents to the public.
Due to a huge interest in the tapes shown by some private individuals, groups belonging to some political camp(s) and persons connected to a section of an intelligence network, it has been decided that the 54 minutes long unedited tape is to be kept outside the United States in safe custody of one of API’s Lawyers based in Ontario, Canada.
The day and time schedules of the broadcast will only be announced 15 minutes before the Show begins in order to avoid attempts to block the Show from airing the tapes.
Any pressure from any outside forces that may want to know the exact day and time schedule of the Show before-hand or any other details in the agreement will get no answers to their requests either from API or Fox News Network.
The decision to have the above information public was a difficult one due to the sensitivity of the case and huge interest against, and for, the release of the contents of the tape for public consumption.
