Excerpt…

My article shows how Western prosperity is based on the destruction of Africa. The story details the U.S. imperial design for Africa, which involves fostering wars and destroying economies in order to plunder natural riches. The U.S. has created a holocaust in Africa by backing wars and imposing structural adjustment programs, which have allowed it to loot hundreds of billions of dollars from the continent.

Since the story was first published in October 2002, 1.5 million more people have died in the Congo War bringing the total up to a shocking four million since 1998. This is a war foisted on the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC - the richest country in Africa) by the U.S. through its proxies Rwanda and Uganda, who have occupied the country, stolen its abundant natural wealth, and sent it to the West. A peace agreement signed in September 2002 in which Rwanda and Uganda agreed to withdraw, is not working since Uganda has reoccupied parts of the eastern Congo and Rwanda keeps raiding the country. Recently, Rwandan troops burnt down thousands of homes in the eastern Congo. Uganda has armed two ethnic groups, the Hema and Lendu in Ituri province and encouraged them to fight resulting in 11,400 deaths so far; the two groups have laid siege to the provincial capital, Bunia, where bloody massacres continue. This shows the extent to which the U.S. will go to plunder Africa.

Where are OUR Lady's Reproductive Rights Heros? Our Human Right's Heros? Our Great Liberal Liberators seem to be MIA when it comes to Africa…WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?

I am also very proud to be a liberal. Why is that so terrible these days? The liberals were liberators -- they fought slavery, fought for women to have the right to vote, fought against Hitler, Stalin, fought to end segregation, fought to end apartheid. Liberals put an end to child labor and they gave us the five day work week! What's to be ashamed of? -- Barbara Streisand

[Jaxter]

"..stolen its abundant natural wealth, and sent it to the West."

Well, hey, it wasn't like they were using it or anything.

[TexasCajun]

Blame Whitey, as usual.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

Thanks for posting but I needed my secret decoder ring to read it.

My article shows how Western prosperity is based on the destruction of Africa. The story details the U.S. imperial design for Africa, which involves fostering wars and destroying economies in order to plunder natural riches. The U.S. has created a holocaust in Africa by backing wars and imposing structural adjustment programs, which have allowed it to loot hundreds of billions of dollars from the continent.

Typical leftist projection, blame us for what they are doing.

[dgallo51]

Hey! Aren't the LEFTIES on TEAM CLINTON'S side of the spectrum? Come on! This isn't a Right Wing Attack Machine! COVERT WAR/ RACIAL DEPOPULATION…What's your definition of a Nazi?

[dgallo51]

I suppose you expect TEAM CLINTON's supporters in the Main Stream Media to reveal this? Sometimes you have to outside the box to get the TRUTH. What is the TRUTH? Why do people fly passenger jets into occupied buildings?

[Question_Assumptions]

Where are OUR Lady's Reproductive Rights Heros? Our Human Right's Heros? Our Great Liberal Liberators seem to be MIA when it comes to Africa...WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?

Africa's problems put liberals in a bind. They can't bring themselves to condemn someone who isn't a white capitalist, even when they are murdering thousands of others.

I am also very proud to be a liberal. Why is that so terrible these days? The liberals were liberators -- they fought slavery, fought for women to have the right to vote, fought against Hitler, Stalin, fought to end segregation, fought to end apartheid. Liberals put an end to child labor and they gave us the five day work week! What's to be ashamed of? -- Barbara Streisand

Uh, liberals cheered Stalin, Mao, and even Pol Pot. Go back and read what they were saying at the time before their revisionism. Yes, liberals have done some good things with human rights, child labor, car safety, and such but their problem is that they don't know when to stop. They've overshot the mainstream and the mainstream is pushing back. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing. It also doesn't help that somewhere along the way, they became haters of everything that Western civilization has to offer, not realizing that Western civilization is the source of most of the values they supposedly hold dear.

[massgopguy]

Other than diamonds, what natural resources is Africa awash with? Hemoragic fever virus' do not count.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

Hey! Aren't the LEFTIES on TEAM CLINTON'S side of the spectrum?

Certainly. I consider the Clintons them as opposed to us.

As far as the rest of your rant I confess to not getting it. Which U.S. companies are doing all this exploiting?

[dgallo51]

Yeah! Just a bunch of Commies...we used to hold very strong feelings toward colonialism, but that was then. I'm no friend to Communism. The only think I hate more than a Commie is a NAZI. There's a news blackout here in the States. Our Commie friends elsewhere knew the truth, YET they supported Al Gore and John Kerry…what's that tell you?

[Mind-numbed Robot]

The only thing I hate more than a Commie is a NAZI.

What is the difference? You do know, I suppose, that NAZI is short for National Socialst Part. There was no difference between Stalin and Hitler. Their ambitions and methods were the same. Only their propaganda varied and not by much.

[hosepipe]

[ What's your definition of a Nazi? ]

LoL.. Well..
German Socialist Workers party.. a.k.a. NAZI...

NAZIs, Italian Facists, and Russian Socialists were ALL socialists.. as were Maoists and many others that killed over 150 million people for the greater social good(!?)..

Man, are you brain washed.. but you did plop into a website that could educate you a bit.. IF you are not a true believer.. True believers (aka.. progressives) have been bull spermed and are pregnant with twins, error and ignorance..

[Mind-numbed Robot]

Concerning your links, Amnesty International is a Communist front group. They say we are mistreating the prisoners at Gitmo. In addition, international arms dealers are a shady bunch themselves, selling to whomever will buy. They have no allegiance to anyone. Once again, I will have to admit an inability to follow your thinking. I am not sure what you are trying to convey.

[dgallo51]

I will let you work your way through the articles. If you still can't figure it out, find someone who's been home schooled to explain it to you.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

If you still can't figure it out, find someone who's been home schooled to explain it to you.

Were you home schooled?

I have no interest in working my way through that confusing mish mash you posted. I you can't present hings in an organized and understandable manner I am content to remain ignorant of you thoughts.

[dgallo51]

Well, NO SOUP FOR YOU, then. Just suppose for a moment that "Plan Columbia" was designed for purposes OTHER THAN illicit drug interdiction?

East Timor Retrospective,
"Plan Colombia"
excerpted from the book
Rogue States
The Rule of Force in World Affairs
by Noam chomsky
South End Press, 2000, paper

p80
... the "drug war" is crafted to target poor peasants abroad and poor people at home; by the use of force, not constructive measures to alleviate the problems that allegedly motivate it, at a fraction of the cost.
While Clinton's Colombia Plan was being formulated, senior administration of ficials discussed a proposal by the Office of Management and Budget to take $100 million from the $1.3 billion then planned for Colombia, to be used for treatment for US addicts. There was nearunanimous opposition, particularly from "drug czar" General Barry McCaffrey, and the proposal was dropped. In contrast, when Richard Nixon-in many respects the last liberal president-declared a drug war in 1971, two-thirds of the funding went to treatment, which reached record numbers of addicts; there was a sharp drop in drug-related arrests and the number of federal prison inmates. Since 1980, however, "the war on drugs has shifted to punishing offenders, border surveillance, and fighting production at the source countries." One consequence is an enormous increase in drug-related (often victimless) crimes and an explosion in the prison population, reaching levels far beyond that in any industrial country and possibly a world record, with no detectable effect on availability or price of drugs.

Such observations, hardly obscure, raise the question of what the drug war is all about. It is recognized widely that it fails to achieve its stated ends, and the failed methods are then pursued more vigorously, while effective ways to reach the stated goals are rejected. It is therefore only reasonable to conclude that the "drug war," cast in the harshly punitive form implemented in the past 20 years, is achieving its goals, not failing. What are these goals? A plausible answer is implicit in a comment by Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, one of the few senators to pay close attention to social statistics, as the latest phase of the "drug war" was declared. By adopting these measures, he observed, "we are choosing to have an intense crime problem concentrated among minorities." Criminologist Michael Tonry concludes that "the war's planners knew exactly what they were doing." What they were doing is, first, getting rid of the "superfluous population," the "disposable people"- "desechables," as they are called in Colombia, where they are eliminated by "social cleansing"; and second, frightening everyone else, not an unimportant task in a period when a domestic form of "structural adjustment" is being imposed, with significant costs for the majority of the population.

"While the War on Drugs only occasionally serves and more often degrades public health and safety," a well-informed and insightful review concludes, "it regularly serves the interests of private wealth: interests revealed by the pattern of winners and losers, targets and non-targets, well-funded and underfunded," in accord with "the main interests of US foreign and domestic policy generally" and the private sector that "has overriding influence on policy."

[Trimegistus]

By invoking and quoting Noam Chomsky you have officially crossed over the border into the Moonbat Reservation and we are legally empowered to make fun of you.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

Although I agree that the WoD is causing many problems, maybe more than it is solving, I don't agree with the motives assigned to it nor do I believe Chomsky's statistics.

It is evident by your posting data and opinions from Amnesty International and Nom Chomsky that you believe they are telling the truth. I don't! They are part of the attempt by the left to rewrite history to present the entire history of the US as one of greed and opportunistic genocide, corrupt the English language so that well accepted definitions of words are turned on their heads to mean the opposite, and change the form of our government and society into one more like the USSR and China.

Your time would be better served by reading more David Horowitz, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Ayn Rand, etc. You might want to tune in Rush Limbaugh, et al., also

I haven't read your link to more of Chomsky and I am now off to the bookstore to buy several books you should read, one of which is Mark Levin's Men in Black.

LOL, you can’t be serious. I think I see the root of your problem.

I will have to admit an inability to follow your thinking. I am not sure what you are trying to convey.

I am scratching my head also...the only thing I keep wondering about is all the aid we keep sending to Africa - where is it going - who is it helping? We seem to be making a welfare nation out of Africa while enriching their dictators and other potentates…………
