Al Sharpton: Pirates Are Actually 'Voluntary Coast Guard' (audio)
radioequalizer ^ | April 13, 2009

Posted on 04/14/2009 7:42:29 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

Apparently finding reasons to be sympathetic toward Somali pirates, the Reverend Al Sharpton in all seriousness appears to believe they should actually be called Somalia's "voluntary Coast Guard".

He might not care for America’s voluntary militia when it forms.

Obama’s “voluntary service corps” will have the same proclivity to stealing what isn’t theirs. Birds of a feather...

Al, why don’t you go live there? You obviously love your Somali brothers so much. Stop mooching off the U.S.

No, it makes perfect sense.

This is a man who basically runs a vast series of racialized protection rackets and somehow considers them a service to the “community.”

Through that f-ed up lens, pirates are the Coast Guard.

Here is waht the lunatic Sharpton is talking about:

In 1991, the government of Somalia [...] collapsed. Its 9 million people have been teetering on starvation ever since - and many of the ugliest forces in the Western world have seen this as a great opportunity to steal the country’s food supply and dump our nuclear waste in their seas. As soon as the government was gone, mysterious European ships started appearing off the coast of Somalia, dumping vast barrels into the ocean. The coastal population began to sicken. At first they suffered strange rashes, nausea and malformed babies. Then, after the 2005 tsunami, hundreds of the dumped and leaking barrels washed up on shore. People began to suffer from radiation sickness, and more than 300 died. Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah, the U.N. envoy to Somalia, tells me: “Somebody is dumping nuclear material here. There is also lead and heavy metals such as cadmium and mercury - you name it.” Much of it can be traced back to European hospitals and factories, who seem to be passing it on to the Italian mafia to “dispose” of cheaply. When I asked Ould-Abdallah what European governments were doing about it, he said with a sigh: “Nothing. There has been no cleanup, no compensation and no prevention.”

Rush should hire the Reverend Al as a gag writer. “Voluntary Coast Guard” is funnier than “pirate community organizers” or however he was referring to them. I think Al has a natural ear for comedy . . . he just doesn’t mean to.

I never did read what became of the pirate corpses; if we didn’t feed them to the fish, perhaps we could wrap them in Mo’ flags and deliver them to fat Al so he could see that they were disposed of in whatever way is politically correct in the eyes of scummy race pimps like him.

You’re right. He has to be insane. Clinically insane if he believes that, and stupidly insane if he thinks anyone else is going to believe it.

I don’t believe these ‘western nations were dumping waste’ stories. Why not illegally dump waste in the wide open ocean? What would compell them to do this in Somali waters? And I don’t believe that these ‘fishermen’ have no other way to make money - I have a feeling that food has a high value in Somalia. None of these excuses ring true...and even if they were, they don’t excuse piracy/terrorism/kidnapping/murder.

Actually Al may have got it right in his own inimitable fashion.

From where the Maersk Alabama incident occurred, it was probably down to the Kismayu group

Four main pirate groups have been identified as operating along the Somali coastline. The National Volunteer Coast Guard (NVCG) has been said to specialize in intercepting small boats and fishing vessels around Kismayu on the southern coast. It is commanded by Garaad Mohamed, who was formerly part of the warlord faction but who is believed to have recently defected to the Islamists (Somaliland Times, December 22, 2005).

It's a shame the War on Terror has been called on account of darkness. These dudes are "low-hanging fruit."
