Radio talk show host Dr. Laurie Roth is one of the few people who have talked directly to WorldNetDaily senior reporter Jerome Corsi since his misadventures in Kenya.
Still shaken by being held against his wishes at gunpoint, Corsi picked up the telephone when his friend Laurie called last night.
“Laurie, it was very horrifying and scary, that’s what he told me,” Roth told Canada Free Press (CFP) this afternoon. “I need a day to recover and get some rest. Tomorrow we will talk on air.”
“Imagine an American reporter being held by the officials of a foreign country brandishing automatic weapons. My friend Jerry said he was lied to and forbidden from having the press conference to divulge the information he sussed out about the links that tie Senator Barack Obama and controversial Kenya Prime Minister Raila Odinga together,” said Roth.
Someone in a position of power did not want the links made public.
“The American people have a right to know about the links between Obama and Odinga and those links will be revealed on my special radio show tomorrow night,” Roth promises.
Listeners can tune in to The Roth Show, though USA Radio Network, starting 7:30 p.m., Pacific Time, tomorrow (Thursday) night.
It is not surprising that the enterprising WND reporter shares a friendship with the plucky Roth, who has publicly told Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to “Kiss my grits”.
Nicknamed the `Annie Oakley of the Airwaves’, this human dynamo in high heels draws conservative listeners over the airwaves across dozens of stations in the U.S.
Kenyan immigration officials and soldiers armed with automatic weapons delivered Corsi like so much bad baggage to his departure flight from Nairobi for London.
“Don’t ever come back. See you in hell”, Corsi reported an unidentified official told him as the author of the No. 1 best-selling book The Obama Nation was dropped unceremoniously off at the airport.
“Corsi documented the ordeal and dispatched a report to WND from his telephone later in the brief period between the time authorities returned his belongings in preparation for his departure when the British airways jet took off. (
WorldNetDaily.com, Oct 8, 2008). “We were detained and lied to all day,” Corsi wrote. “The immigration officer at the hotel 15 minutes before the press conference this morning said we only needed to come to the immigration headquarters downtown for a few minutes and that we would be back to the hotel for the press conference with only a few minutes delay.”
That was not to be the case.
Instead came an international incident with Kenya officials still not providing any answers.
Roth, who was struck by a deer while riding her motorcycle on August 25, 2005 and given 5 to 10 minutes to live by first responders attending the accident scene, remained in a coma for weeks.
Months of rehabilitation followed her coma.
Because of the severe muscle and nerve damage in her mouth, she even had to learn to talk again. Friends held little hope for her unflagging dream to return to her radio show as soon as possible.
But within a year she was back on air again, as ornery as ever.
Like many Americans, Roth is outraged that gun-toting soldiers and government officials in Kenya could hold Jerome Corsi against his will.
You can hear the story that Kenya tried to suppress by tuning in to USA Radio Network’s The Roth Show tomorrow night.
