“Just one more thought. When the SHTF, and Obama’s CNSF is mobilized, this is what American citizens will have to endure.”
Obamoid: Undress & knell, Cracka b*tch!
American female: Bang!
Real Americans are “at all times armed”.
At least he is honest. That eleminates him being a Democrat.
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE!!
I’d be interested in reading that story if you’ve got a link.
The whole area of Republic of Congo, and Zaire had no more than 3 radio sonde stations at airports ~ which wasn't a whole lot of coverage for what they used to call 'the lungs of the world' ~ and the rebels, or the regular army, or both had managed to attack one of those stations and EAT the attendants.
The UN guys were panicking about not being able to get anybody to work there.
That's a long time ago as far as the net's concerned, and you'll notice THAT IS ALSO BEFORE GOOGLE.COM!
I remember the story well since we debated the problem extensively on the old Doonesbury.com website ~ had 4 discussion boards, with a 5th secret board on the select few could access. We had a UN weather guy on the board too.
Good luck finding the story. Henson over at NASA was involved. He knew about it, and that's one of the reasons he dropped AFRICA from all the climatological models used by the UN. The data is garbage from there, but the attendants at the radio sonde stations, so I have heard, made a fine stew!
The world has always been a brutal place and things like this have always happened. That said, these were soldiers of their country. When the Europeans randomly drew national boundaries with no thought to local cultures they set the whole continent up for a hundred year of failure.
Thanks. I’m sure it’s out there somewhere and I might run across it.
I ... uh ... I don’t know what to say.
“I didn’t rape because I am angry, but because it gave us a lot of pleasure,” says 22-year-old Mateso (not his real name). “
This is why the word monster came into being.

90 million Americans have some hardware that says “no”.
Gun control!
As for myself? I laughed so hard that I cried.
This fellow was evidently with the national army. He wasn’t some bandit.
This isn’t a breakdown in military discipline, this is a breakdown in humanity. They should not be treated like humans. They have forfeited their humanity. Shoot them like mad dogs. Even the big make-believe liberal hero Atticus Finch in TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD understood that you can’t argue with mad dogs, you just shoot them.
make it as painful as possible
How about we stick a high caliber rifle up his butt and pull the trigger? That’d be a LOT of fun, tee-hee. That would be after we apply napalm to his favorite “weapon” and set it on fire. Then he could really lay claim to being “HOT STUFF”, mmm mmm mmm.
Africa is too large to be given blanket statements. What’s true for sub-saharan Africa is not true for Ethiopia or Berber-Arab North Africa —> they have their own problems, but different ones..
Case in point from antiquity: when the Germanics or Slavs or Balts came in contact with Roman culture (later Catholic and Orthodox-Byzantine cultures respectively), the ones who held out like the ruler of Northumberland, lost out. The new Germanics, Slavs and Balts threw out their old "culture" to a large extent such that we hardly know much of pre-Christian Slavic religion or Baltic culture for instance
The cultural power of Rome was too powerful: linguistic, religious, political, cultural, etc.
In the east you can see this in South-East Asia, specifically Indonesia-Malaysia which converted first to Hinduism, then Buddhism, then Islam by missionaries from the cultural super-power of the Indic states (mostly Dravidian)
Post the 1500s, when Europeans first came to India they were civilisationally slightly behind, but that changed by 1775 and the battle of Plassey -- Europe's industrial revolution pushed it ahead of Indias.
Civilisationally, Europe lead India and China in the 1800s, but only slightly, hence no jettison of culture.
In contrast, when Europeans came to the Americas or Australia, the primitive cultures had to decay -- and men became drunks under the pressure of being "losers in the civilisation game".
In Africa we see that in East Africa, along the coast, the people became Arab in all but ethnicity and deeper inland their culture were at the same level as aborigines (with notable exceptions of course in Ghana and possibly Great Zimbabwe) -- the Congo with its terrain did not lead to civilization and hence we had a very primitive people suddenly getting the weapons of civilisation.
The "people" of Congo can be civilized, but not the "peoples" -- meaning that as individuals, if they jettison their older culture completely, they can be civilized (their culture cannot hope to catch up with the rest of the world now, it lags too far behind), but the nations can not.
True, there needs to be a complete re-org of Africa
For instance, the Tuaregs need a separate homeland rather than being spread among nations
or in the Congo (could only find a linguistic map, but it shows that Kivu is closer to east africa than to west-southern:
Joseph Conrads “Heart of Darkness” is looking precient.
