World Imperialism

I thought what I would write about next. I feel energized now. In June 2013, I decided to write about this issue. Time is changing fast and the skeptics are back again. They deny any conspiracy and feel that everything is fine in the world. That is fantasy. We should not embrace disinformation or deception, but we should outline a fight for justice in the world though. It is a fact that dedicated human beings the world faithfully want freedom, justice, and equality for all of the inhabitants of the world. We are still in a struggle and the world imperialistic system is a real threat for all humankind. We know the value of Nature, melanin, and truth. Domination of humans by other misguided, evil humans represents a simple definition of Imperialism. It is not obsessing with old school or new school, but embracing the real school of dignity and an authentic social consciousness. Globalization and Economic exploitation are rotten fruits that derived from the root of Imperialism. It is unrestrained capitalism that is heavily allied with Imperialism. There are many legitimate criticisms about the White House that we ought to respect. Even the Obamabots are wrong to have some unyielding support for all of the policies of the Presidency. Conversely, the Tea Party crowd is wrong for sometimes showing extremist views and even some of them speaking notorious slanders against the President of the United States of America. I will not sell out to reactionaries for 40 pieces of silver. This does not mean that the White House ought to be blamed for all evils in the world. It does mean that the administration has made errors and it should be known for all of humankind. In a matter of less than 4 years, the Obama administration will be over. The major question going on now among other is how to adequately address income inequality. In the past few years, economic and racial inequality has grown. We ought to reject bourgeois identity politics and follow radical politics. Unfortunately, despite his excellent intellect, President Barack Obama has followed the path of neoliberal capitalism, military empire, and refusing to call out white supremacy explicitly. It is somber to mention

these things, but the truth must be told in season and out of season as the Creator would want us to do. So, we realize that the current administration has been selected by the powers that be. The power that be allowed for high levels of homelessness, unemployment (28 percent of African Americans and 37 percent of black children are officially poor. That number is 10 percent of whites and 13 percent of white children. As high as 13 percent of black Americans are officially unemployed), and schools being closed down for good. In our generation (especially with the advent of the Presidency of Barack Obama), the bigots and racists are taking the gloves off even more. The ignorant statements by the racist John Hubbard about African Americans and Hispanic Americas are representative of the views of white supremacy. Hubbard uses his Eurocentric version of Christianity [that was modernized by the Council of Nicea in 325 A.D. under the totalitarian Roman Emperor Constantine. Constantine was another you guessed it, another imperialist. It is that version of faux spirituality that is responsible for inspiring many sick actions of some human beings] as a means to justify his sick, inaccurate views when many Founding Fathers were rapists, slave owners, and thieves of Native American lands. The enemy has never changed their spots, but we should fight for truth with all legitimate means. Folks like John Hubbard are pieces of work. John Hubbard is a pure, unadulterated, and deceitful lying type of individual. I can use other vivid language to describe him or Hubbard, but this work is being read by children too. Not to mention that social justice and economic justice are great means where our standard of living can be rapidly improved upon. Many reactionaries have bought guns as well. That is why the White House was utilized as a means to carry over oppression with a smiling face. The reason is that another Bush like human being in office could have signaled a real revolution by the American people. Some of Obama's actions have neutralized a great deal of the anti-war movement. I also believe that the Sister named Trojan Pam made an excellent point on how the establishment put black human beings in front of some political power as a means to give white racists the excuse to falsely collectively scapegoat the black community in general (when the bigger picture is that the system of white supremacy still oppresses all of us over the course of centuries). Also, an individual is accountable for the actions he or she does, so I always believe in individual responsibility. Yet, I won't use that as an excuse to stereotype another human being that is different from me at all. I believe in equality completely. My neighbor is my neighbor. We experience worldwide imperialism. The military empire of the West is vast and extensive. There has been backlash against these evils with the Wisconsin labor rebellion. We still need environment improvement without fracking, etc. Many of the policies from the previous administration continue in our time. We now in 2013 witness efforts to cut Social Security and Medicare benefits. We see record deportations of immigrants while the reactionaries lie and say that Barack Obama wants some amnesty plan.

There are the infiltration of protest organizations by feds including the illegal monitoring of them, secret kill lists, rendition, the escalating U.S. intervention in the Motherland, saber rattling against Iran, and other evil actions. There can be no refutation of these facts. Even the most virulent Obamabot can't deny this information. A White House refusing to tackle racial inequality and then talk about no excuses to a bunch of graduates from Morehouse College (these are human beings that did the right thing education wise and these folks are not criminals) is troubling for he will not say any excuses to Jewish human beings, all women, or Hispanics in a speech to them. He will not expose world imperialism created by white

supremacy to those students in the historically black Morehouse College. When he said some stuff like Nobody cares if you suffered some discrimination," then it shows his mentality for the world to see. I think he won't tell no excuses to Wall Street oligarchs harming the environment or receiving record bailouts now. That is the Booker T. Washington in him not the Malcolm X in us. Far too often, society does not give praise and due credit to the Brothers and the Sisters making great accomplishments in their lives. These human beings should be encouraged and acknowledged irrespective of the changing tides of society. These brothers and sisters should not be chastised harshly for the immoral actions of a few. They should be respected as human beings created in the image of God. There has been no radical mention of the poor or poverty by this administration. It is rhetoric of transaction not the Audacity of Hope. The black bourgeois and others (including the real enemy as we know who the enemy is. The enemy is the system of white supremacy including its agents) refuse to heavily talk about these issues. There are no excuses for the elite to practice discrimination in our society. Still, I will not follow the path of reactionaries and blame President Barack Obama for all complications of America and the world. The truth must be placed into context. Still, the black bourgeois class is acting more like the Tea Party than a real party by their reactionary, anti-poor rhetoric at times. Ironically, they love the Democrats when both parties have had a nefarious history before. The bourgeois wants to silence especially independent black dissent against word imperialism, but we will stand strong and firm for liberty. I will never advance the dogmas of militarism, empire, and class oppression at all. We see now that racial oppression, sham electoral democracy work together in the system of mainstream capitalism and imperialism. Now, we should oppose the Trans Pacific Partnership, the evil War on Drugs, and the stop and frisk policy (that harms New Yorkers day in and day out). Now, this work is not some hating spiel. There are tons of Americans and folks from across the world (of every color and every background) that sincerely want liberty, truth, and justice to reign. They are still fighting for the same things that we are all fighting for intrepidly.

A Summary of Past Imperialist Empires Imperialism goes hand in hand in history. It is unfortunate portion of human nature. Human being dominating other human beings in brutal fashion is repugnant and morally reprehensible indeed. The Empires of old (like the Assyrians, the Greeks, the Romans, Mongols, and others) relate to imperialism. Each of them wanted more territories to rule over. They wanted their culture to have the superior recognition as a means to dominate their conquered peoples. Sometimes, they enacted policies and laws that violate social, political, and economic liberties of the people. All of these Old Empires were defeated by uprising, popular movements, internal issues, social decay, economic decay, for other various reasons. We can learn a lot from past Empires, because they give us a valuable lesson. That lesson is that human dignity and human equality merit no institution of imperialism at any circumstance. The Europeans created the most intensive and barbaric form of imperialism in human history. That cant be denied. This doesnt encompass all Europeans, but many of them. In many continents, European Empires not only stole lands. They raped human beings, used war, activated economic exploitation, created false beauty standards, and instituted a system of oppression over the oppressed. The modern system of white supremacy is always interrelated to European imperialism indeed. During the Middle Ages, imperialism grew to the next level. Imperialism spread more rapidly across the Atlantic Ocean and across multiple continents. From the 1400s to the 20th century, England, French, Spanish, German, Belgium, Portugal, the USA, Russia, and other countries expanded their Empires. Britain, France, Spain, and other nations used large imperialist Empires for centuries. Since 1756, The British Empire gained the most power in imperialism. They defeated the French in the Native Americans in the French and Indian War. The British Empire at its peak ruled over multiple continents. Britain overtly ending slavery and the slave trade in the early 1800s, but they never ended imperialism completely. The British Empire spread into South Africa as well. Shaka Zulu was one of the greatest warrior who fought like a man against the spread of imperialism. The Zulu culture is a great portion of human culture. One of the most evil events in the history of imperialism was the Berlin Conference. It lasted from 1884 to 1885. This conference regulated European colonization and trade in Africa. In that time period, Germany grew its imperial power into a higher level .The Berlin Conference was called for by Portugal and it was organized by Otto von Bismarck. He was the first Chancellor of

Germany. It is seen as the Scramble for Africa by evil imperialists. By 1895, the only independent states in Africa were Liberia, Ethiopia, the Majeerteen Sultanate, and the Sultanate of Hobyo. The Berlin Conference created arbitrary borders in Africa that did not take into consideration the diverse tribes and social structures in Africa. Fourteen countries were represented by a plethora of ambassadors when the conference opened in Berlin on November 15, 1884. The countries represented at the time included AustriaHungary, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden-Norway (unified from 1814-1905), Turkey, and the United States of America. Of these fourteen nations, France, Germany, Great Britain, and Portugal were the major players in the conference, controlling most of colonial Africa at the time. The Berlin Conference made European to go more into the interior of Africa (beyond coastal regions). By 1914, the conference divided Africa into 50 countries. You will notice that the Berlin Conference never took into consideration the voice of the black indigenous people of Africa at all. That conference never ended colonialism or imperialism in the great, vast continent of Africa. Overt imperialism and colonialism was fought against in Africa heavily during the 19th and 20th century. In fact, revolutionaries used the Berlin Conference as motivation to defeat European imperialists. That is why when our brothers and sisters had the Bandung Conference in 1955, it was a rebuttal to the evil Berlin Conference. The 1955 Bandung Conference has been defined in the following terms by the late Brother Malcolm X (during February 14, 1965) in the following terms: Along about 1955 they had the Bandung Conference in Indonesia. And at that time the Africans, the Asians, the Arabs, all of the nonwhite people got together and agreed to deemphasize their differences and emphasize what they had in common, and form a working unity. And it was the working unity -- the spirit of Bandung created a working unity that made it possible for the Asians, who were oppressed, the Africans, who were oppressed, and others who were oppressed to work together toward gaining independence for these other people. And it was the spirit of Bandung that brought into existence this working unity that made it possible for nations that didn't have a chance to become independent to come into their independence. And most of this began along in 1959 Any form of imperialism is evil whether it is done by Europe, the United States of America, Japan, or any nation of the world.

The Modern Era of Imperialism The Modern Era of imperialism continued after World War Two. It dealt with the enemy using the war on terrorism presently as an excuse to get resources, economic power, political power, and social exploitation of the inhabitants of the world. This modern form of imperialism is more slick or sophisticated, because they use euphemism like humanitarianism and liberation as a convenient way to justify war crimes against humanity. When the West utilized cluster bombs, then that is a war crime. When the West ferments unjust wars of aggression, then that is a war crime. When you have targeted assassinations against even U.S. citizens without due process, then that is definitely an illegal war crime. So, these wars by Western imperialism are indeed unjustifiable and morally reprehensible. Even eugenics movements and forced population control of the melaninated human beings of the world is continuing in this modern imperialist system. There are many examples of this from the one child policy in China to examples of forced sterilizations against humans worldwide. This is a new era indeed. Now, we have even fake progressives trying to justify the NATO war crimes in Libya. Today, Libya is a puppet with factions warring for political power and resources. Never forget that NATO bombed civilian locations like colleges and urban communities. NATO funded terrorists and these al-Qaeda affiliated terrorists lynched, murdered, and raped black Libyans. When you have real terrorists killing brothers and sisters, then they are my enemy and imperialism is my enemy as well. Even now, Africom is conducting military operations in neo-imperialist actions in Congo, Uganda, and other African nations. AFRICANS HAVE RIGHT TO OWN AFRICAN LANDS COMPLETELY. War mongering is real. Bill Clinton wants President Barack Obama to be more aggressive in the Syrian civil war since Bill Clinton is the DLC war monger extraordinaire. Now, America is funding Syrian rebels, because they accuse Assad of using chemical weapons against opposition forces. There is a picture of Bill Clinton talking with his fellow war monger John McCain. The pressure from neo conservatives and neoliberals has caused the White House to fund the rebels with military equipment. Bill Clinton issued tough words to the President as if he was the President when Bubba is not the President. Clinton said that if Obama doesn't ahead and drop bombs on Syria like Hillary advanced war crimes against the people of Libya, then he would come to regret it. It takes a special person like William, who passed evil laws that harmed the poor and human beings of color, to lecture the current President Barack Obama. So, Bill uses left

wing cover as a means to advance war mongering. The Syrian people have held a referendum and even an election will not satisfy the Clintons and the Obama administration until Syria is fully destabilized (and made a colony of Western neo-imperialism). The Syrian government has been voted in by popular opinion, which is the democracy that the Western elites don't like. The elite could care less about rights in Syria, because Clinton did a number on Haiti. Haiti has experienced UN rape, exploitation, colonialism, and even other forms of harm by Western imperialism even now. Bill Clinton pretends that Afghanistan and Yugoslavia was all about a humanitarian intervention. The truth is real. The truth is that Clinton allowed NATO to create a 78 day campaign of bombing civilian infrastructure in Serbian lands. Kosovo is a notorious for having drug dealers there. NATO just murdered about 50,000 in Libya and they want to have more death as a means to advance "democracy."

William Jefferson Clinton presided over the sanctions in Iraq during the 1990's that murdered thousands of innocent Iraqi men, women, and children. Madeline Albright said that death of men, women, and children via the oppressive sanctions was worth it, which is evil to say the least. This imperialism has been mapped out for years. Wesley Clark years ago said that the U.S. government had plans to invade Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Somalia, and Sudan. The Syrian peace talks have been harmed. The reason is that the U.S. backed rebels are boycotting the negotiations. This can ruin hope for real peace inside of the nation of Syria. The rebels (who are funded by the United States, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Israel) refuse to have talks since they have nothing to gain. The Syrian army has experienced victories. The West wants Syria to have regime change without real peace talks to end the civil war there. If the rebels win, Islamic extremists and theocrats will rule Syria possibly. In the meantime, many undemocratic trade agreements that benefit multinational corporations including financial institutions are coming about. There is the TPP or the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The TPP according to its critics will expand corporate lawsuits against nations for lost profits. Radical free trade has ruined national economies and industrialization for a long time. The dollar is dropping and deregulation is continuing. The neoliberal program of the World Bank and the IMF is still functioning and it is a threat among all humankind.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry once called recently for the immediate air strikes on Syria. The Joints Chiefs of Staff rejected that ludicrous rush to war. This comes in the recent words from President Barack Obama saying that Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad had used chemical weapons. After Kerry called for Syrian airfields to be attacked, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey threw a series of brushback pitches at Kerry, demanding to know just exactly what the post-strike plan would be and pointing out that the State Department didnt fully grasp the complexity of such an operation, reports YNet News. The report said that Kerry was probably ignorant of the fact that Syria has a sophisticated air defense system that would have to be neutralized (that will cause a loss of life) before any air strikes could be conducted. Kerry was told by Dempsey that the U.S. Air Force could not simply drop a few bombs on Syria without first carrying out some 700 sorties to disable the countrys integrated air defense and that without any kind of exit strategy; the Pentagon will not back the plan. John Kerry is wrong on this account, because a harsh rush to war will cause a catastrophic result in the Middle East. It may even cause WWIII. There is need for us to be not sending military U.S. forces in Syria. This conflict is a civil war and now the West has handled over heavy weaponry to Al-Qaeda terrorists. These terrorists have vowed to attack the U.S. and Israel once they are finished with Assad. John Kerry's actions contradict his controversial antiVietnam war activism during the early 1970's. We know that the rebels have used chemical weapons against the Syrian people before. As recent as May of 2013, the United Nations independent commission of inquiry on Syria reported, strong, concrete suspicions that the USbacked rebels had deployed sarin gas. This was use on the part of the opposition, the rebels, not by the government authorities, said commission member Carla Del Ponte. A recent Pew poll said that shows that 70% of Americans oppose arming the Syrian rebels, a figure which marks the highest level of opposition since the conflict began two years ago. Other polls outline the information that the vast majority of human beings in other NATO countries like the UK and France oppose arming the rebels. The rebels have repeatedly been caught carrying out atrocities or the most recent of which involved the slaughter of a 14 year old boy for insulting Islam. The

reality is that the agenda of Empire is filled with lies and deception. We know the lies. The U.S. lied about the WMD threat in Iraq. They distort information about WMDs in Syria. The FBI has been caught in concocting or funding many home grown terror plots. The NSA and other intelligence agencies worldwide have been caught spying on human beings without due process. Just because the world is changing and it is getting more complex in the world socially and technologically, doesn't mean we sacrifice national and international civil liberties. Threats of international capital dominating the world has been apparent from jump street. In our generation, the imperialists use the cover of humanitarianism as a justification to advance militarism. The Syrian administration has majority support including by Sunni Muslims. War has always been bloody and readily utilizes false pretexts as a means to execute it. Therefore, a peaceful end to the Syrian civil War is in order via discussions and diplomacy without war mongering actions. The G8 summit is an important event. The 39th summit of the G8 gathered together US President Barack Obama, Russian President Vladimir Putin, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, French President Francois Hollande, Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, European Union President Herman van Rompuy and EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso. Cameron and Obama wanted to put pressure on Putin to fund the rebels in Syria (which has oil supplies and pipelines in the region). Putin has refused to so, because he realizes that the West wants some puppet regime in Syria in replacing Assad. Prior to the summit, Cameron met with Putin at Number 10 Downing Street, where the Russian premier denounced the US decision to arm the Syrian opposition. Western imperialism is wrong from Iraq to Syria. Now, we have a job to advance direct action and other forms of activism to allow our voices to be heard. We can join real, independent organizations that desire the truth including justice. We can help in our local communities and fight for righteousness as well. If we want justice, then we must make demands and do our part as well.

President Barack Obama came to make a historic speech recently in Berlin. He was the first American President to speak from the eastern side of the Brandenburg Gate. It was once Stalinist controlled East Berlin. The President wanted to make a reference to the open societies that respect the sanctity of the individual over oppressive political systems. He tried his best to defend the exposed surveillance network. This massive and illegal program dwarfs the evil spying apparatus of the old Stasi secret police. He declared that the National Security Agency or the NSA programs (that seize the phone records of all Americans and tap into electronic communications of people all over the world) are bound by the rule of law. He claims that this program doesn't target the communications of ordinary persons. LOL. Folks can believe that if they want to. The truth is that illegal spying by the FBI and NSA has occurred for decades. Obama tried to invoke peace and tolerance, but when you aid Islamist militias in Syria, then that seems to make that point moot. These rebels are highly intolerant and want to murder secularism in Syria as a means to institute some authoritarian, theocratic state in Syria (which violates human liberties ironically enough). Justice is not about a drone assassination program. It is about defeat of white supremacy once and for all point blank period. German Chancellor Merkel sat next to President Barack Obama. She is heading up the mass unemployment causing

and poverty causing austerity agenda. This agenda is harming Greece and other European nations. The President said that widening inequality is an insult and he understands the pain of the youth, who are unemployed. Ironically, we see war, bank bailouts, social cuts, and attacks on democratic rights all over the world not just inside of the States. Some of the reactionary policies from the Bush administration exist in the Obama administration. This is different from the hope and change words. The speech that President Barack Obama gave in Berlin was in front of 4,000 human beings. There was a virtual lockdown of much of Berlin. Five years ago, Obama spoke to about 200,000 human beings, most of whom were young. The Tiergarten area was the location of the speech. Many Europeans want to have reassurance that the President is for them (since they are sensitive about the NSA controversy). Yet, the threat of imperialism is among us. We must continue to fight for the poor and workers irrespective of who is in the White House. The ruling class will not give up militarism. It is hard for America to give up all of its nuclear weapons when it has hundreds of bases globally in a large number of countries worldwide. There are also anti-ballistic missiles sent by the West to Eastern European countries, which angers Russia. In essence America wants dominance in Asia, Europe, Africa, and throughout the Earth. The Russia/China hegemony wants power too. The negotiations for nuclear reduction will be extremely hard to say the least. Obama talked about reducing nuclear weapons in negotiations with other nations like Russia, but that will be difficult. Class is a big factor in global politics. It is not just class though, regardless of what socialists say. The issues of race, gender, and other backgrounds are related to politics as well and they ought to be discussed. We have to study history and politics as a means to get a tolerable framework on how to go forward in life.

Oni a dara o
It is not a secret that the elites are scrambling for the getting of more resources in the Motherland of Africa now. The U.S. military and other Western entities want more control over the infrastructure of the African continent. U.S. Africa Command is trying to deal with the Gulf of Guinea. Apologists for African Command for Africom claim that they are bringing stability to the Gulf of Guinea. Other places where Africom have dealt with have never decreased coups, insurgencies, and volatility in certain regions of Africa. The war on terror has massively expanded in Africa since 2001 including since we live in the Obama years. When you look at the historical record, U.S. so-called stability operations in Africa have caused negative fruits. These fruits included allies being prone to cause abuses, terrorism growing, failed states, and unsettling of the future. That is why Libya is having blowback from Western funding of the terrorists who overthrew the leader Muammar Qaddafi. In Mali, there is a U.S./France alliance in trying to deal with Mali. The U.S. military has expanded air operations in Africa, engaging in spy missions for the French military, and other once undisclosed sites in Africa. In 2000, a report prepared under the auspices of the U.S. Army War Colleges Strategic Studies Institute examined the African security environment. The report did not recognize strong terrorist organizations in sub-Saharan Africa. Since 9/11, the Pentagon claimed that terrorists can come into African nation after the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan. The truth is grayer. Even Somali militants including the most extreme Islamists there have not engaged in much terrorism outside of Somalia. The U.S. has dispatched personnel to Africa as in the Combined Joint Task Force Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA) in 2002. The next year, CJTF-HOA took up residence at Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti, where it resides to this day on the only officially avowed U.S. base in Africa. As CJTF-HOA was starting up, the State Department launched a multi-million dollar counterterrorism program called the Pan-Sahel Initiative. This was done as a means to bolster the militaries of Mali, Niger, Chad, and Mauritania. Back in 2004, the Special Forces training teams were sent to Mali as part of the effort. The program in 2005 expanded to include Nigeria, Senegal, Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia (it was renamed the Trans-Saharan Counterterrorism Partnership). These groups have allied with the U.S. Africa Command. The West claims to fight militants, but they are funding such militants in Libya and other places in the world. Today, the West is using drone strikes in Somalia, etc. There have been U.S. commando raids in Africa and an attempt to kill Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) leader Joseph Kony (in Central African Republic, South Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo). From 2010-2012, AFRICOM itself burned through $836 million as it expanded its reach across the region, primarily via programs to mentor, advise, and tutor African militaries. The Pentagon has spent millions of dollars as a means to fund pro-Western African nations and to hunt for Kony. Africom is based all over Africa from Kampala, Uganda to Nzara, South Sudan. The situation is some areas of Africa have been blowback. The U.S. funds controversial characters and later these entities are causing terror in Africa. The U.S. claims to overtly want stability, but they really want control over the natural resources in the Motherland (as a means to have economic profit, genetic exploitation, and political power). So, the enemy has never changed its spots. It only changed its strategies.

This is a complex situation. Mugabe is not perfect, but even Wikileaks documented information about how American and British interests want to control commercial interests in Zimbabwe. Some have accused Tsvangirai of collaborating with Western imperialism. There are still many sanctions against Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe does not host to AFRICOM (or the imperialist military unit of the West inside of Africa). There needs to be independent leadership in Zimbabwe outside of neoliberal activists and the old guard. In other words, I feel that Mugabe or Tsvangirai should not be the future leaders of Zimbabwe, but a new, independent leader that doesn't bow before Western neoliberal interests. Each sentence that I have written I stand by. Zimbabwe has a well known history in the Motherland of Africa. The Motherland or Mama Africa is very beautiful like always.. Even US Ambassador to Zimbabwe Mr. David Bruce Wharton admitted that the sanctions have harmed the Zimbabwe economy to a certain extent. The West has a known history of economically exploiting Africa especially since the days of the Maafa. I will not agree with many policies of the West at all. Many in West love imperialism corporate exploitation, drone strikes in multiple nations, and other evils. Some Westerners (among every color & background) have a superiority complex and view trade as a bargaining chip to have unconditional justification to execute imperialism the world over. There is nothing wrong with fair trade, but not unfair trade. AFRICOM has been a militarized, neo-imperialist operation in Africa for many years. Scholars have documented this reality. Legitimate criticisms have come against ARFICOM indeed. So, to assume that those Western corporate interests are some great Saviors is fantasy. They exist to make profit and to have control. Just because companies want to dominate, doesn't give governments the right to execute unjust wars, to execute bad trade policies, or to try to have neo imperialism in Africa at all or any area of the world. Even NAFTA harmed Mexico and America. I did not know America was God. Sorry, America is not God. Just because white supremacy exists, doesn't mean that DeBeers and other entities have the right to rape African resources, to harm workers' rights, and to go out and claim they are the superior saviors of the world. Also, I realize the history of sanctions in the world. My fundamental point is that independent leadership should exist in Zimbabwe other than Mugabe and the neoliberal activist Tsvangirai. Nothing more or nothing less. It is not a secret that the MDC-1 Party is stooge for neoliberal policies (as documented by Thom Hartmann and others). A 2010 leaked cable, published by WikiLeaks[iv], revealed that Tsvangirai collaborated with President Obama and the US establishment against the interests of Zimbabwe and the people. The document[v] showed that he [Tsvangirai] had had been privately urging Washington to maintain sanctions against Harare, while taking the opposite position in public. Earlier this month, the Zimbabwe Herald reported that: "...MDC-T has reportedly invited three Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) agents to attend its policy conference set for [Friday May 17, 2013] as part of last ditch efforts to formulate an appealing election manifestothe Herald is reliably informed that the three CIA agents were also behind MDC-Ts security policy document titled Policy Discussion Papers Security Sector Cluster..." Many areas like Singapore, Finland, etc. have universal health care and universal education while we don't in the USA. Real first world status is about those things not neo-feudalism or an economic system that enslaved my ancestors at all (which resulted in the growth of economic inequality in the world). Also, we have lax health care and other lax infrastructure, but some of us want to lecture other nations on development processes. America needs investments in infrastructure indeed. Even the President is right on that point. Not even Botswana has a totally free market system. It has investments along with oversight in its functions. I respect

Botswanas growth and that is a very great development indeed. Many Western puppets in Africa have existed for a long time, so this concern by numerous Africans is not made out of historical inaccuracy or ignorance at all. African people have a great deal of intellectual potency to evaluate history and the dynamics of political affairs for years and centuries. So, I stick my fundamental position that independent leadership should arise in Zimbabwe other than Mugabe and that slick politician Tsvangirai. I choose African self-determination over imperialism every day of the week. The mainstream media regularly agrees with this current militarism from the Iraq War and other recent conflicts. The mainstream media (including certain television shows) is owned by huge multinational corporations and they commonly degrade the black human image all of the time. The Western imperialists claim to want peace. This is a total lie. How can they advance peace when they have used a multiplicity of acts of violence against men, women, and children? The United States has been involved in some of the harshest piece of violence in recent years. When you go into a struggle and you exhausted all options available in peaceful means, then human beings have the God given right to use self-defense if necessary in that struggle. Peace will only come when the systems of imperialism and white supremacy are obliterated from the face of the Earth. In that sense, all humans can live in a better future. We are fighting against imperialism. Also, NSA spying has been highly immoral for long decades, even before the Bush Jr. years. Folks globally have been through a lot of hell and human beings have the real justification to advance liberation. Economic imperialism and cultural colonialism still persist in our generation. The handwriting is on the wall. That is why many Brothers and Sisters are waking up. As the years go by, I do feel a better spiritual discernment about what is happening to world. A lot of human beings have inspired me in my endeavors and I have learned great wisdom from the elders including the youth who are genuinely dedicated to human liberation. We should continue to fight and be active locally as well.

A Summary of the Benghazi Bombing The bombing of the consulate in Benghazi, Libya is one of the most important foreign policy stories of our time. Now, we know a lot about the incident. We know that there were dozens of CIA assets and agents in the compound of Benghazi the night that terrorists staged the attacks. The attacks has been exploited by the elite as a means for the West to justify sending U.S. troops and drones in all of Africa (in support of an agenda that has been set out by 45 major international corporations just a few months before). The federal government has filed the first charges in the Benghazi attack. There was a sealed complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Washington. It was sent against an unspecified number of individuals in the September 2012 attacked that murdered Ambassador Chris Stevens and 3 other Americans. One official charged included Ahmed Abu Khattala or the lead of a Libyan militia. We know that the CIA used a consulate as an operational base without sufficient security. This and other intelligence failures have been documented by the ex-CIA analyst Melvin A. Goodman. The consulate used diplomatic cover for an intelligence operation that was known to Libyan militia groups. The CIA security team in Benghazi was slow to respond. There was a breakdown in coordination in the intelligence community. Even the CIA had to admit that the CIA was smuggling weapons

from Libyan weapons depots to the Syrian rebels during the 2012 attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi. According to a report by CNN, an unnamed source has leaked that the alleged coverup of the circumstances around the attack is to hide the reality of the smuggling, which occurred before the escalation of the Syrian civil war. This shows that the CIA has been arming the Syrian rebels since at least September 2012. The agents were running the operation out of the Benghazi annex, which has been reported as a secret safe house of the CIA in the city, not far from the embassy. Many in the alternative media have talked about this situation for months. There have been reports of CIA intimidation on employees and foreign ground assets. CNNs source claims that this is a trend of intimidation that the agency is carrying out. In an exclusive communications in the CNN report, one insider writes, You dont jeopardize yourself; you jeopardize your family as well. Another says, You have no idea the amount of pressure being brought to bear on anyone with knowledge of this operation. Some believe that there is a cover up of the role of the CIA in handling the events before, during, and after the Benghazi attacks. Christopher Stevens before he died sent a diplomatic cable from Libya in July of 2011 saying that Islamic extremism is growing in Libya (and the spotting of the Al Qaeda flag over buildings outside of the city of Benghazi). The intelligence community funded the Al-Qaeda like terrorists for decades. The intelligence services of Washington and London supplied weapons and aid to the terrorists for over 30 years. Many of these terrorists fought with the West in Afghanistan against the Soviets in the 1980's and in Kosovo in the 1990's. The bombing represents the fruit of a reckless foreign policy that spans decades filled with CIA funded terrorists (and some of these terrorists unfortunately murdered innocent Americans in 2012). The then Clinton State Department was all over the war on terror and they supported the destabilization of Libya as a means to justify the establishment of a puppet regime. Libya was named by General Wesley Clark in the plan overthrow 7 countries in 5 years plan. The State Department was warned of a lack of security at the compound and they failed to inform their personnel in the country of that warning: "...According to senior diplomatic sources, the US State Department had credible information 48 hours before mobs charged the consulate in Benghazi, and the embassy in Cairo, that American missions may be targeted, but no warnings were given for diplomats to go on high alert and lockdown, under which movement is severely restricted. (Independent). Christopher Stevens was sent back to Benghazi in the middle of ongoing violence, just hours before the attack (in spite of the warnings of inadequate security and other violent attacks in the area). I do not agree with Susan Rice on foreign policy matters, but she was made a scapegoat once for this entire incident. The reality is that Susan Rice had no role in forming talking points on Benghazi. It is the reality that the system of white supremacy via the CIA and the State Department made huge errors in this affair with Susan Rice having nothing to do with it at all. Khatallah is linked to the Islamist group Ansar al-Shariah, one of the militias that has served as the de facto military within many parts of the country since the overthrow of Libyan dictator Moamar Ghadaffi. Also, the West is complicit in using policies that are extrajudicial and violate international laws.

Our Modern Political Realities *There is another issue to discuss. It is about some who claim to be independent folks and want economic freedom, but are really reactionaries at heart. We have economic troubles and some folks want to even ally with unsavory characters as a means to try to look against the status quo when they are not. Now, the reality is that we live in a multicultural society. The enemy knows this completely. Many of these reactionaries hide their true colors in many social situations. Some of the reactionaries show information those appeals to many African Americans and the young. The reason is that they use anti-government rhetoric that has appeal from across backgrounds. They are talking about the corruption found in the Federal Reserve, which I disagree with. They are accurate on that point. Some of them talk about the corruption in the police, which is accurate. They view the government as out of control, which is right on many issues. Some of them outline many truths like how record bailouts to big banks are harming America. Some of them talk about 9/11 and globalization. Yet, there is a catch with them. The catch is that many of them are anarcho-capitalists, libertarians, and reactionaries that hate altruism and expressed hatred of immigrants via xenophobia. They use being against illegal immigration as a cover to advance the most gross, stereotypical, and bigoted lies against immigrants. They want to use ICE to smash immigrant communities. Not to mention that the imperialists stole the land from the indigenous people including from Mexican Native American people centuries ago. NAFTA gave free reign to corporations to rape and pillage the land including to economically exploit the people. Millions of Mexican farmers were ruined by NAFTA. It shows that free trade without much checks and balances is harming the world. Even Alex Jones, the famous reactionary, refuses to end immigrant detention prisons. One of their heroes named Ron Paul refuse to give back money he received from racist white supremacists. With Alex Jones, he uses race mongering and some racial antagonism in dealing with the George Zimmerman trial (and Jones tries to defend white supremacist slave traders like George Washington). Alex Jones is an expert at exposing corporatism, but refusing to replace the system with a system where working people including the people to own it not just the rich. Jones hates a social democracy. The reality is that this is a struggle for liberty and the evils of capitalism have a great deal to do with our oppression, even beyond the evil acts of the Federal Reserve or the big banks. One thing that these faux patriots will not do is to expose the system of white supremacy. That system uses its power as a means to harm peoples of color including the rest of humanity in the world. It is as simple as that. It is a wicked, cartel-capitalist system that runs most schools, courts, banks, food, water, transportation, jobs, jails, housing, etc. in Western society. If we want change, then we have end that wicked system. Also, these faux independents want to destroy the social safety net. I have no issue with ending the police state in America, but I have a serious issue with destroying Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, lunch programs, food stamps, and other means of survival for fellow human beings. That is genocide and it has been the agenda of the elite for decades. So, we know the truth. The truth is that all humans should have equality. All humans should have affordable, quality health care. All humans should have the opportunity to receive a great education. All human beings are created equal regardless of their background. This country has to live up to its original creed. We have the right to fight for justice and liberty.

A Side Note The recent Supreme Court made the wrong decision about the Voting Rights Act. It seems that some in the Supreme Court want to eliminate Section 4 and they hate Section 5 as well. Now, in a 5-4 split decision, the Supreme Court eliminate a key provision of the Voting Rights Act. Chief Justice John Roberts announced the opinion. It eliminated Section 4. That provision said that parts of America must have changes to their voting laws cleared by the federal government or in federal court, because of the legacy of discrimination in the South. The decision didn't rule that preclearance was unconstitutional. They did rule that the particular formula used in the Voting Rights Act is or the feds can't monitor voting rights laws in a certain way was illegal. Justice Roberts was a major person in the Reagan administration that drafted memos for the top Justice Department officials (that argued for a weaker version of the law). Robert, Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas, and Alito believed that things have changed in the South since the Voting Rights Act was signed in 1965. The reality is that voter suppression efforts continue to persist even in the 21st century. Justice Antonin Scalia made the racist argument that black people are seeking racial entitlement by requesting that their voting rights ought to be protected in his own words: "...had the effect of requiring racially motivated gerrymandering, amounting to the perpetuation of a racial entitlement on the part of Black legislators and constituents benefiting from the districting. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg issued the dissent and noted, "The sad irony of todays decision lies in its utter failure to grasp why the VRA has proven effective. She also wrote, The Court appears to believe that the VRAs success in eliminating the specific devices extant in 1965 means that preclearance is no longer needed... In the Courts view, the very success of 5 of the Voting Rights Act demands its dormancy. Ginsburg is right on this point, because there is always a possibility of massive voting discrimination and the VRA is a key way to prevent it. So, preclearance is not stuck down per se, but a procedure is. It was a disgraceful opinion by some in the Supreme Court. The reality is that voter suppression efforts have not ceased in America (not only in the South, but elsewhere too. During the 2012 election, human beings had to wait hours to vote and early voting was cut back in some areas) and Section 4 is a key portion of the Voting Rights Act. The case is called Shelby County v. Holder. This attack on democratic rights by the ruling class is transparently clear. Congress has continually voted to extend the Voting Rights Act as recently as 2006. Decades ago, hundreds of thousands of African Americans including others in the South fought against Jim Crow segregation via marches, sit-ins, and protests. They faced terrorists groups like the Ku Klux Klan. They or civil rights activists faced bombings, lynchings, and beatings. Some died, so we can enjoy some rights today. Now, our rights are being threatened all of the time. Once, 15 states fall under the preclearance requirement of the Voting Rights Act. That is why human beings in North Carolina are protesting against voting suppression efforts among other issues now in 2013. Many of them (especially young human beings have been arrested for speaking truth to power. These are part of the Moral Monday movement). The reactionaries in North Carolina (where taxes are raised on the poor & middle class including the cuts to Medicaid) are livid on how human beings of numerous backgrounds are fighting for liberty and for the common good. There are those have been arrested for peacefully addressing their legitimate grievances. Ironically, Justice Clarence Thomas voted in opposition to one section of the Voting

Rights Act and he was born from a poor African American family from Georgia. Thomas and Scalia are notorious reactionaries. The only good news is that this decision can mobilize more human beings to fight for voting rights (while using this wrong decision as a motivation to keep going). A legitimate check in making sure that voting rights is fair has been eliminated. It is a shame. Voting Rights is a fundamental human right and not a select privilege to be granted under huge, unwarranted obstacles. So, it is the Old South vs. the New South. In the end, the New South will prevail with equality and justice. By Timothy

CIVIL LIBERTIES, PEACE, AND JUSTICE ARE CONCEPTS THAT ARE SUPERIOR TO IMPERIALISM. ALWAYS SPEAK YOUR MIND AND ALWAYS BE WHO YOU ARE HONESTLY. EVEN IN THE LAND OF SO CALLED MILK AND HONEY, WE STILL SHOULD CONTINUE TO CHECK EVIL. THE TRUTH CAN GO

THROUGH THE FIRE, RAIN, STORM, AND SLEET. THAT IS WHY THE TRUTH IS ETERNAL, INTERNAL, AND UNIVERSAL. You cannot put personal economic development over the liberation of the people. Collective freedom is superior to selfish individualism. There is no such thing as success outside of the total liberation of the people.
