\"345441\"<\/a>Tara Wambugu is an ardent Obama supporter who recently wrote, at her blog, an article titled\u00a0How to: Getting a birth certificate in\u00a0Kenya<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>,\u00a0about misspellings and typos being very common on birth certificates in Kenya. \u00a0She said something to the effect that one must rigorously and exhaustively check Kenyan birth certificates for errors and that Kenyans are genetically predisposed to misspelling names and other words.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

In my own words, I gathered that perhaps a touch of racism was coming through in the writings of Tara Wambugu (she’s a white American woman). \u00a0After all, it happens sometimes to Americans and Brits who travel, or live, abroad.<\/span><\/p>\n

At first they see these new cultures and societies as interesting and fun but they often begin to dislike the different way of life and invariably find themselves making it there personal objective to change and save the ‘savages’ from their ‘backwards’ culture and lifestyles.<\/span><\/p>\n

I read some of Tara Patenaude’s other writings and it seems that she may be the epitome of these culture-haters who wish to bring change to what they believe to be barbarians and savages who populate sub saharan Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tara also wrote about the subject of having to pay bribes for Kenyan birth certificates and that this is common practice is Kenya. \u00a0She even made remarks to the effect that she was exceedingly astonished and thoroughly amazed that she didn’t have to pay a bribe for her little half American half Kenyan offspring.<\/span><\/p>\n

We cited her article in two recent reports here at WOBIK.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tara Wambugu filed two complaints with our web host for copyright infringement.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first blog report has now been, voluntarily, taken down. \u00a0I don’t believe that it was necessary to take down the said report, but I did so. \u00a0 I then sat down and began writing a new report and published it the following day. \u00a0Strangely, I found that I was now sort of in a way, delighted, that I’d taken down the first report because the second version of the report turned out to be very impressive and included additional research findings and a great deal more of context as to why Tara’s writings, few as they were, had been cited.<\/span><\/p>\n

In any event, I published the new report…and then received another take down notice form our web host. \u00a0Again, it appears, I was falsely accused, by Tara Wambugu, of copyright infringement.<\/span><\/p>\n

I quoted Tara on five occasions and average length of each quotation was a sentence or less. \u00a0As if it’s not already inherently obvious, I did so for research purposes (Was Obama Born in Kenya?), publication of research findings and news reporting. \u00a0Clearly the sort of stuff that falls under Fair use:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Fair<\/a><\/p>\n

I checked into Tara’s background and, judging by Tara Patenaude’s extensive educational background, its evident that she too also fully understands that anything of hers which was cited here at the WOBIK blog was covered under\u00a0Fair use<\/strong>\u00a0and that she has egregiously\u00a0misrepresented her claim regarding the infringing material.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve also read some disappointing accounts, which I wont cite here for fear of copyright infringement, about her and some of those who are close to Tara who have been in trouble with certain authorities in the past for\u00a0misrepresented copyright infringement for financial gain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tara Jean Patenaude, born September 7th 1976 is the daughter of\u00a0Edward\u00a0Patenaude Sr and her mother is\u00a0Sandra Strohman.<\/span><\/p>\n

As you may have noticed her mother and father have different last names. \u00a0 They are divorced and her father’s new wife is a person named Anne.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tara’s grandfather was a man named\u00a0Henry M. “Mike” Patenaude and he died on May 8th 2001 and his bones are located at the Tewksbury Cemetery.<\/span><\/p>\n

The name of Tara’s grandmother is\u00a0S. Regina (Sullivan) Patenaude.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the year 2008 Tara Patenaude\u00a0got engaged with a Kenyan man named Jesse Wambugu. \u00a0They married in 2010 and now she is known as Tara Wambugu. \u00a0They live<\/span><\/strong> in Kenya. She says that police in Kenya often allow her to break laws there because she now has a Kikuyu surname. \u00a0 I’d like to cite and link the source for that allegation (it is true, she wrote about it) but I fear that doing so may invite a take down notice for alleged copyright infringement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Someone might want to consider reporting Tara Wambugu to the US Embassy in Kenya for criminal law violations.<\/span><\/p>\n
