Mali and the War on Terror in 2013

You know that I will always have a great admiration and respect for the Motherland of Africa. TheMotherland gave my ancestors their birth plainly speaking. Therefore, it is our responsibility to learn aboutthe cultures in the four corners of the world with an open mindedness and a strong since of emotionalmaturity. Mali has been center of education with its ancient university in Timbuktu. It has been the homeof complex, stable black African Kingdoms from ancient Mali to Songhai. It has a huge role in Islamichistory and the history of spirituality in general. The Mali situation is an overt example of neo-imperialismby the West, even by France. The northern region of Mali has been exploited. A U.S. trained militaryofficer named Sanogo launched a coup in Mali. So, the Malian military tries to control the nation moreregardless of democratic processes. The northern region has a huge influx of weapons. The Frenchlaunched a military intervention since they felt that the UN didnt act fast enough in trying to get at the rootof the crisis. Even the UN resolution wanted an African force led by Africans, but the France did its ownthing. Military intervention readily cause more challenges in various nations. Today, were havethousands of Malian human beings being forced out of their homes. Hollande is not a true socialist. Withhis actions, he is true neo-imperialist. Not to mention that British RAF aircraft is backing the Frenchmilitary intervention against Islamist rebels in Mali.

The West is playing ethnic and religious groups against each other as a means to promote the war onterror among many ways. France and America are in unison on the issue of Mali. France expressedsupport for the assault on Libya, but it is striking unilaterally against so called Islamists in Mali. Mali was

once a French African colony. France was at first the most aggressive nation in calling for a NATO waragainst Libya in 2011. America gave logistical support to Libya as a means to create the war in Africa. Ifthe U.S. didn't have the refueling tanker aircraft and awesome infrastructure of U.S. Navy carrier groups,NATO's eight month assault on Libya wouldn't have taken place in the first place. France is committed toputting at least 2500 ground troops in Mali. America is supporting this action. The Tuaregs are beingscapegoated for the massive terrorism in Mali. The war in Mali comes as a fruit of the Euro-Americanaggression against Libya. The reality is that the Taureg human beings suffer extreme poverty. That is whysome Africans came into Libya as a means to gain employment. Some of the Taureg worked with Libyansecurity services. The Tuaregs went home south when Libya's government was brought down by NATOand its allies. Africom grew in influence now.

The Malian Army collapsed when many Taureg soldiers defected to the rebels. America is having a3,500-member combat brigade from Fort Riley, Kansas, arrives to hold exercises with military units from35 African countries, later this year. The France now in January of 2013 has caused mass bombings ofcities in northern Mali. This has killed and wounded hundreds of civilians. France has attacked the IvoryCoast, Syria, and Libya too in recent years. Last month, Algiers signed multi-billion-euro contracts withFrance during Hollandes state visit. Now, Algeria has thrown open its airspace to French warplanesbombing Mali. The reactionary African bourgeois leaders are not representative of real black Africanrevolutionaries at all. We are approaching the 100th year anniversary of World War I and still we haveworld imperialism. France should get out of Mali and allow the Malian human beings to handle theirproblems with real cooperation from other nations in a peaceful fashion. The traitor to his own blackpeople named Thomas Boni Yayi sent a congratulatory salute to French imperialists for sending its youngmen into Mali. It is a historical fact that many African elites are serving the interests of Europe not theinterests of African human beings in the world. Now, France says that they want to free Mali, but Mali hasa lot of natural resources. Mali has Africa's third largest gold production. Mali has uranium, diamonds,iron, bauxite, manganese, and other precious stones. What is next is Algeria. The Brookings Institutioncompany man named Bruce Riedel said that Algeria will be next to fall in August of 2011. There is therecent news story of so-called Al Qaeda linked terrorists kidnapped American hostages in Algeria. Let usnot forget that al Qaeda was created by bin Laden (who was a CIA asset for decades since the CIA aidedhim in his fighting the Soviets back in 1979). The France and the Anglo-Americans want to control moregeopolitically of African lands from Mali to Libya. These imperialists don't quit. Emira Woods is an expert

on the subject of Mali and geopolitics in Africa. She is a co-director of Foreign Policy in Focus at theInstitute for Policy Studies.

These are the French military occupiers. This is real.

Mali is being invaded by French imperialists. French troops are in Mali. Many Euro-Americans want tohave a military intervention in Western Africa and beyond. One leader admitted that, "...This is a global

threat and it will require a global response that is about years, even decades, rather than months,British Prime Minister David Cameron said over the weekend. French Defense Minister Jean-Yves LeDrian defined his aim in Mali as the total re-conquest of the country, using troops provided by theEconomic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). France, which is currently spearheading thewar in Mali, plans to expel Tuareg and Islamist fighters from Mali to pursue its agenda. France wants toexpel the Tuareg and the Islamist fighters from Mali. They want to stabilize the corrupt regime in Bamako,which is led by the military junta of Captain Amadou Sanogo. So, France wants a stooge regime in Malias a means to gain more corporate profits & a puppet regime. British Foreign Secretary William Haguewanted Somalia to be an example on how imperialists will handle Mali. Somalia is still an impoverishedcountry, because of civil war and Washington directed drone strikes. The former Pentagon

counterterrorism official Rudolph Attala said that the West wants to end the Al-Qaeda network in theIslamic Maghreb. Washington and Paris according to the Times wanted to court Algeria as a means forthem to give them help in Mali. Some want America to give military aid to France as a means to dominateMali. Now, French fighter planes and Gazelle helicopter gunships carried out a dozen operations. OnMonday about 200 French soldiers from the 21st Marine Infantry Regiment, supported by six combathelicopters and reconnaissance planes, seized the towns of Diabaly and Douentza. The infantrymen hadset out at dawn from the nearby government-controlled town of Niono, thirty miles south of Diabaly. TheHuman Rights Watch or the HRW said that they have received reports of the French back Malian securityforces committing serious crimes and ethnic killings against civilians in Niono. HRW said that the Tuaregsand Arabs are being targeted. I don't want the Tuareg to suffer this evil genocide. As for the Arabs, I don'twant them to suffer genocide, but they are not superior to my black people at all. According to US StateDepartment spokeswoman Victoria Nuland, about 100 American trainers have deployed to Niger, Nigeria,Burkina Faso, Togo, Senegal and Ghana to help prepare troops in these countries for combat in Mali.The EU appointed French Brigadier General Francoiss Lecintre is the commander of a mission to send250 military trainers to Mali in February. It will not only give 50 million euros ($66 million) of funding toEcowas forces, but has announced it will unblock 250 million in aid for Mali that was frozen after themilitary coup in March 2012. It is hypocritical for the French government to claim to be socialist, but theywant to dominate Africa. France is showing colonialism period.

More information is coming out about Mali. France recently invaded Mali with over 2,000 troops from theForeign Legion in January of 2013. France has also sent out dispatched Special Forces troops toneighboring Niger to secure uranium mines that are run by the France state owned nuclear powercompany Areva. Le Point reported that the French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian had quicklyagreed earlier this week to a major innovation or ordering the Special Forces Command to send troops toprotect the Areva uranium production sites in Imouraren and 80 kilometers away in Arlit. The magazinesaid that this is the first time ever use of French commandos to directly defend the assets of acorporation. The magazine discussed information about how the French government officials have takenthe decision after the botched attempt to rescue the French hostage named Denis Allex in Somalia. Therewas the recent bloody hostage taking incident and siege at the Armenas gas facility in Algeria where over80 human beings were killed. Those two events in addition to launching the Serval operation in Malihave significantly increased risk factors for French installations, including industry and mining in the

region, Le Pointreported. When the French commandos are sent to the uranium mines in Niger, it justthe documents the overriding economic and geo-strategic motives behind the French military interventionin Mali. These Euro imperialists use the guise of fighting against Islamist "terrorists" as an excuse tocontrol resources in their former African colonies, which are actual nations today. Official spokesmen atboth Areva and the French Defense Ministry refused to discuss the new military deployment citingsecurity concerns. Officials from Niger deny any knowledge of the dispatch of the Special Forcescommandos. Its true that the terrorist threat has increased today, but as far as I know there is no suchagreement in place at the moment, one official told Reuters. One Niger army officer told the new agencythat there were security arrangements in place that had been agreed to with France and imposed afterthe September 2010 kidnapping of 7 employees of Areva and one of its contractors in the northernNigerien town of Arlit. We also have counter-terrorism units in the Agadez region, said the officer. Fornow, I dont know of a decision by the Nigerien government to allow French Special Forces to basethemselves in the north. Niger was colonized by the France until Niger created its own independence in1960. The yellow cake from Niger's uranium ore have been used to create France's nuclear bombs andfuel for its nuclear reactors (that account for over 75 percent of the country's electricity). Niger now is avery poor nation. Tuareg militias want a more fair distribution of uranium revenues in Niger. They are aminority ethnic group in Niger. There has been radiation contamination of areas in Areva. The Frenchbacked Malian army has been accused of torturing and executing civilians like many Tuareg humanbeings. Niger has given exploration permits to Chinese and Indian firms. There are Al Qaeda relatedfactions in Mali and they came from the Soviet-Afghan war back in the 1970's. The CIA funded theseradicals from that time period to the modern era.

The Belgian MP Laurent Louis expressed public opposition to the France intervention in Mali. He gave astrong speech listing concrete reasons on why France is wrong in attempting to reconquer the nation ofMali. This is neo-colonialism and this action by Western powers is ever wrong. Laurent Louis said that theaction in Mali can cause a destabilization in the nation. He is accurate to say that it is wrong for nations toviolate the sovereignty of independent countries and to overthrow legitimate leaders under the guise ofadvancing "democracy" and fighting "terrorism." The war on terror has been expansive over the course ofyears. There have been the battles in Afghanistan and Iraq. Now, we see conflict or revolutions inTunisia, Egypt, Libya, and other places in the Middle East. He criticized Belgium for funding the Islamistrebels to overthrow Bashar Al Assad. Ironically enough, these similar cliques are being battled by theFrench. Many of the militant rebels in Syria want to impose Sharia law in Syria. Some of them reject anyprogressive or democratic reforms in the nation of Syria at all. Louis wanted Belgium to improve itseconomic conditions in a recession like world, but he rejects sending the Syrian rebels 9 million euros. Hedisagreed with Western nations taking over nations, building military bases all over the globe, and fundingextremists. For thousands of years, war has been heavily strategic. Some wars involve a faction to gainmore oil wealth, resource wealth, or various forms of other economic wealth. Big corporations heavilybenefit from wars. Even the Mali battle is being exploited by corporate interests. His speech showsexcessive profanity, which I don't agree with at all. He admitted that, "...Haven't we created September11th, after all, to justify the invasions, arbitrary arrest, torture and massacre of innocent populations?"This sounds similar to the 911 Truth Movement. Louis wants Belgium to leave the UN, NATO, and the

EU. The reason is that he feels like these organizations are not trying to orchestrate peace, but violenceand the destabilization of sovereign countries (as a means to make nations submit to financial interestsnot human interests). He tells the truth that opponents to the Mali regime are not all terrorists at all. Hewants President Hollande of France to respect the Geneva Convention as it cites the fair treatment of allprisoners of war. It is accurate to deduce the truth that the French operation against Malian fighters hasexacerbated the tensions in Mali. The French executed an unilateral decision to enter Mali. The Tuaregare known to have a long history of legitimately disagreeing with colonialism and neocolonialism. The onlysolution to this crisis in Mali is not imperialism or puppet leadership. It has to be a radical political solution.Abayomi Azikiwe is the editor of Pan-African News Wire. He wrote great information on the Malian crisis.The war in Mali has to heavily to do with the control of gold and uranium resources in Mali.

These images show the great human beings from Mali.

The Mali war is apparently related to imperialism and neocolonialism. The Tuareg human beings are

scapegoated for the actions of extremists among the West & the other extremists in the region.

Imperialism is having a stronghold in North Africa. France is leading the charge in Mali. France could

experience what America experienced in Iraq and Afghanistan. Algeria has about 50 billion dollars in

reserves in Western banks. The Libyan blowback in the Sahel is a great reason why the war in Mali

has occurred. The AQIM is very close to the LIFG or the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group. Some of

these folks were trained in Afghanistan by the ISI/CIA. The CIA and the MI6 used the LIFG as a

means to go against Col. Muammar Gaddafi. On top of it AQIM is also very close to the al-Nusra

Front in Syria, which Washington branded as a terrorist organization (but not the eternally bickering"coalition" which wants to topple Bashar al-Assad). Belmokhtar and his group of radicals are

fighting in Mali. France is harming not only the Islamists, but the weaponized Tuaregs. The Tuareg

have expressed a legitimate grievance about their plight and they are indigenous to the Mali nation.

The UN enabled smokescreen has caused the French in trying to support a corrupt regime in

Bamako. The story is much more complex. The U.S. and Algeria has sponsored terrorism in the

Sahara for a while. U.S. Special Forces have trained Malian troops in Kita back in May of 2010. The

truth is that the legitimate Tuareg rebellion has been hijacked by a few hundred Islamist extremists.

There have been atrocities done in Azawad. The Tuareg served Gaddafi's regime and they came into

Mali since Libya was conquered by the LIFG including other factions. The Tuareg suffered unjust

exploitation, repression, and marginalization. Algeria is allied with America too. Since 9/11, Algeria's

President Bouteflika has worked with the White House on cover operations. Algeria's intelligencegroup called the DRS infiltrated terrorist groups as a means to further control their nation. The first

US-Algerian false flag terrorist operation in the Sahara-Sahel was undertaken in 2003 when a

group led by an infiltrated DRS agent, Amari Saifi (aka Abderrazak Lamari and El Para), took 32

European tourists hostage in the Algerian Sahara. The Bush administration immediately branded El

Para as Osama bin Ladens man in the Sahara. Algeria wants to contain the nationalist Tuareg since

they want a hegemony of power in North Africa and not want their nation to be influenced by a

huge nationalist movement. Algeria has allowed Special Forces from America in 2011 to understand


6/13

the full strength of the Tuareg MNLA. The Tuareg people are about 2-3 million in population. Most

live in Mali, but they also live in Niger, Algeria, Burkina Faso, and Libya. The latest Tuareg rebellion

in Mali, by the Mouvement National de Libration de lAzawad (MNLA), began in January 2012. The

MNLA comprised Tuareg had returned from Libya around October 2011. Some rebels had not laid

down arms after the 2007-09 uprising. There are other rebels who had defected from the Malian

army. Their number was estimated at around 3,000. They led forces out of Azawad or northern Maliwith little resistance. The issue is that the reactionary Islamist groups like Ansar al-Din are

infiltrating the legitimate MNLA (headed by the Tuareg famous man Iyad ag Ghaly). The MNLA even

fought the Islamists in June of 2012 when these Islamist terrorists harmed areas in Timbuktu, Gao,

and Kidal. The Algerian DRS has been fabricating and orchestrating terrorism in the Sahara-Sahel for

years.

It is not a secret that America and the West are having an overt invasion of Africa. America is deployingtroops in 35 African nations. These nations include Libya, Sudan, Algeria, Niger, etc. The AssociatedPress reported on this story on Christmas Day. The mainstream media is not talking about this story at all.The real reality is that this invasion has nothing to do with Islamists since the Western intelligencecommunity aided such Islamists for decades. The West wants to cause the conquering of the resourcesthat are found in Africa. The West is having a geopolitical rivalry with China. The West has executedviolence in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, and other places in the world. Typically in the world, theestablishment wants western journalism to justify war mongering on the guise of fighting Islamicextremism, which is similar to the Cold War's fight against "godless" Communism. This is very similar forthe scramble for Africa back in the late 19th century. The U.S. African Command or Africom has built anetwork of supplicants among collaborative African regimes that want American bribes and armaments.Africom staged Operation African Endeavor. This came last year. It was about the armed forces of 34African nations taking part in this military rill, which was led by the U.S. military. U.S. officers are in everylevel of command of Africom from the general to the warrant officer. Africa has a great history of liberationlike Patrice Lumumba and Nelson Mandela. Now, we have a colonial elite in the 21st century again tryingto conquer Africa as Frantz Fanon said is like a promotion of a capitalism rampant via camouflage. Thereis the location of Eastern Congo. This area has a great deal of strategic minerals. It is ruled by the rebel

group called the M23. The M23 is influenced by Uganda and Rwanda (these nations are known allies ofAmerica). France and NATO harming Africa have been in the making for a long time. Many folkslegitimately opposed Mubarak and other dictators. Now, there is a struggle for the future of the MiddleEast and Africa. NATO has bombed places in Africa like Libya. Muammar Gaddafi ruled over Africa'slargest oil reserves. Sirte was reduced to rubble and the British SAS directed the rebel militias and thishas been exposed as a racist bloodbath. The Taureg have fled home across Algeria to Mali. The Tauregwanted a separate state since the 1960's. As the ever watchful Patrick Cockburn points out, it is this localdispute, not al-Qaeda, that the West fears most in northwest Africa in the following terms, poor thoughthe Tuareg may be, they are often living on top of great reserves of oil, gas, uranium and other valuableminerals." Cameron from the UK has ordered troops to Mali now. There is a RAF drone going in Mali.They want to fight jihadists. The Islamic terrorism line has been used an excuse for the West to try tosteal African riches. Mark Curtiss Secret Affairs: Britains Collusion with Radical Islam(SerpentsTail) or John Cooleys Unholy Wars: Afghanistan, America and International Terrorism(Pluto

Press) or The Grand Chessboardby Zbigniew Brzezinski document how much of Islamic terror hasbeen prop up by Western influence. The mujahedeen evolved into Al Qaeda. The mujahedin was acreation of the CIA, the ISI, the MI6, and other militants. Operation Cyclone caused the Soviet Union toleave Afghanistan, but the extremists still remained. Therefore, we know the truth. The truth is thatterrorism is wrong regardless of who does it.

There is still conflict in Mali. France has a known history in meddling in the actions of former French

West African colonies like in Cote dIvoire. There have been more imperialists trying to intervene in

the black African continent of Africa in countries from Libya to Mali. French colonial policy in the

21st century has grown. Paris has supported the Libyan intervention as a means to gain more

political clout in North Africa. NATO is allied with France and Italy. Even Berlusconi said that the goal

of France was to control Libyan hydrocarbons and squeeze all other competitors. Now, France

wants to advance EU politics to advance regional stabilization and development. France even in the

1960's concluded agreements with former colonies as a means to make 14 African states to stay in

the French franc zone as it was established in 1946. This resulted in the colonies' economies to be

tied to France even after joining the Eurozone later. The agreements in question gives France a right

to intervene militarily to maintain and restore internal stability and provide for security ofEuropeans living in Senegal, the Central African Republic, Chad, Cote DIvoire, Gabon and

Cameroon. That is imperialism. NATO and the EU wanted to influence Africa for a while now.

President Hollande is supposedly left wing, but he agrees with the intervention in Mali including the

reactionaries from France. Francois I came to visit Timbuktu. During the insurgency, the Tuaregs

declared the city of Timbuktu the capital of the Independent State Azawad on April 6, 2012. The

French President was celebrated by dancers when he visited Mali. Timbuktu was known by the

Tuaregs and other black Africans for centuries. It is an important trade, intellectual and spiritual

center of Muslim world. A 15th century Malian proverb proclaims: Salt comes from the

north, gold from the south, but the word of God and the treasures of wisdom are only

to be found in Timbuktu.There are a few big madrasahs and three mosques that are believedto be the oldest in West Africa. It has been known to be a fabulously rich city since the Middle Ages.

Wattle and daub houses in the heart of the city were proclaimed as world heritage guarded by

UNESCO since 1989. The city had been home to unique Middle Age manuscripts that someone

burnt during the combat actions. Of course, the French accused the Muslim fundamentalists when

the whole situation is more complex than that. Hollande denied that they wanted to have

economic exploitation of the region. France now has unemployment and other issues. We know

that France has oil and gas production contracts in Libya. Mali is rich in gold and uranium. Some

French forces according to reports are killing Tuaregs and Arabs. America supports French's

imperialism in Mali. The U.S. gave France intelligence data, air transport, and air replenishment. The

West is competing against the East for globalization. That is why the West wants to prevent further

Chinese influence in Africa economically, politically, or otherwise. The French Foreign Legion is

having a leading role in agreeing with this evil of intervention in Mali. Jean-Yves Le Drian, the French

Defense Minister, said on January 31, that France had no intention of remaining in Mali, butthere would be no pull out as yet. The building of Third Empire may happen to be a much time and

effort consuming process. Therefore, we see Europeans still wanting to intervene in African

territories not just American forces. The truth is that the only solution to the battles in Mali is a

political, peaceful solution. All Malians should come together in the realm of brotherhood and

sisterhood as a means to end that horrendous conflict.

Only a political solution can solve the complication in the nation of Mali. We dont

need another imperialist Berlin Conference from the 19th

century. We need libertyfor all of the inhabitants of the continent of Africa.

Africa at its nature is a collective society and a society filled with discipline,decency, and morality.

For decades, terrorists have been aided by the CIA, the ISI, MI5, etc. as ameans to advance certain agendas. This action continues in 2013 even.

Real History on Terrorism

The U.S. has a terror sponsor issue. The issue is not that there are real Americans here in the USA.Real human beings know real Americans day in and day out. The issue is that fake human beings areenacting pro-torture policies in the world. Human beings have the right to dissent with evil and have amoral compass as well. Criticizing a country's wrongheaded actions is as American as apple pie. Othernations have sponsored terrorism before, but the U.S. has done this before too. Even the director of theNational Security Agency under Ronald Reagan named Lt. General William Odom admitted that the U.S.has long used terrorism. He said that in 1978 to 1979, even the lawyers said that the U.S. would be inviolation when the Senate was trying to pass a law against international terrorism. Wikileaks found a

secret CIA analysis documenting how the United States has been a long exporter of terrorism. Much ofthis terrorism is directed against the Third World countries including Latin America. We know that the CIAand the FBI have done terrorism before from the murder of democratically elected leaders to the killing ofour brothers and sisters in the Black Panther Party. U.S. client states had death squads in Latin America.Global rise in state terror has been linked to the rise of U.S. foreign policy in certain areas. The 1991book, which was edited by Alexander L. George [the Graham H. Stuart Professor of Political ScienceEmeritus at Stanford University] also, argued that other Western powers sponsored terror in Third Worldcountries. It concluded that the U.S. and its allies were the main supporters of terrorism throughoutthe world. It is not a secret that U.S. created death squads in Latin America, Iraq, and Syria. Terrorism isabout the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce human beings especially for politicalpurposes without just cause. The U.S. has been supporting Al Qaeda linked terrorism in Afghanistan,Bosnia, Libya, Syria, and yes in Iran as well. The West played Sunnis and Shias against each otherdefinitely in the current events of Syria. The West funds the most radical distortion of Islam calledWahhabism, which dominates many circles of Saudi Arabia. Torture is a part of terrorism and we know

that the U.S. has done torture for decades, even before the Bush administration. I don't agree with droneattacks on civilian populations or targeted assassinations either. The CIA admitted that it hiredIranians in the 1950's to pose as Communists and stage bombings in order to go againstits democratically elected Prime Minister named Mohammed Mossadeq. MI5 agents andthe CIA were involved in the 1953 coup against Iran. Former Italian Prime Minister, an Italianjudge, and the former head of the Italian counterintelligence admitted that NATO orchestrated bombingsin Italy and other European countries during the 1950's. NATO worked with the CIA and the Pentagon asa means to blame the Communists and rally Europeans against communism. This was a critical portion ofthe Cold War. One participant in the program wanted to attack civilians, women, children, innocent


10/13

people, etc. Even former Justice Department lawyer John Yoo in 2005 suggested that America use afalse terrorist organization as a means to fight against Al-Qaeda. The U.S. government admitted thatOperation Northwoods was real. This plan as revealed from declassified documents showed that in the1960's that American Joint Chiefs of Staff signed off to blow up American airplanes and cause terrorism inAmerican soil (as a means to blame Cuba, so it can be used to justify an invasion of Cuba). This hasbeen talked about in the late Peter Jennings' ABC news report and other official documents. Evenaccording to official State Department records, Under Secretary of State Chester Bowles wrote on June3, 1961 about some in the White House wanting to cause a false flag as a means to justify an invasion ofthe Dominican Republic. It is not just the USA doing terrorism. The MI5, the MI6, Mossad, and otherinternational intelligence agencies have done terrorism in the four corners of the Earth for decades aswell.

This is the future of warfare being the drone attacks. It isnt just the drones being used from the air, butthe Pentagon & DARPAare using robots, submarine drones, etc. It is not just FOX News types

supporting imperialism against human beings in the Motherland, the Middle East, Pakistan, etc. Some inMSNBC say nothing on the evils of the Empire. I dont recall fusion centers violating privacy, the NSAwarrantless wiretapping, or NATO using terrorism against the Libyan population as examples of

liberal acts. Have you? It is not really funny, because even some so called liberals have supportedthis garbage not just the Tea Party types. It is true that the Republicans among many of its leaders &allies have shown so much bigotry and intolerance, that they must better themselves or end as a major

party. That is true. What is funny is watch these media puppets get angry when you expose the truth tothem. They become all flustered since they are brainwashed. That is not gravy or keeping it real at all.

That is keeping all the way unreal. LOL. They (or the establishment liberals and the establishmentconservatives from FOX, CNN, and even MSNBC) can be mad as they want to be, the truth will be

vibrant, tall, and actively potent like it ought to be. It is not exactly liberal, conservative, or freedomloving at all to extend the unjust, immoral Patriot Act either. Making America better is not about

worshipping America like it is God. It is about making America accountable for its actions and makingAmerica wiser as a means to improve its own conditions. That is how it is done in a real top flighttype of fashion. I will move forward, but forward in the right direction. Even we know that


11/13

that wicked system of white supremacy ought to have much more blame for the condition that we are inthan even the President Barack Obama. The President didnt invent all of these circumstances. The

enemy did among centuries. On the other hand, the President is accountable for the policies that hehas executed. See, I will go for the gusto. I dont hold back my views here. The military industrial complexis advancing the usage of drones domestically in American soil. So, this evil is very much sophisticated.

Now, we have those who want compulsory draft in the future. This is totally wild and evil period. We needpeace not Empire.

Human beings know that Afghanistan is an easy symbol of neo-colonialism in the 21st century. We havethe 2014 deadline for the end of NATO operations in Afghanistan. The current administration according toits critics wants to prepare for a continued U.S. military presence into the indefinite future. The New YorkTimes describe this American led occupation. That occupation has been as predatory, neo-colonial as theoccupation of Iraq. The Times reported that General John Allen or the top U.S. commander inAfghanistan has submitted three options to the Pentagon for the period after the supposed withdrawal of"combat troops" at the end of 2014. One is to maintain U.S. troop levels at 6,000, other calls for 10,000soldiers, and the third is based on a force of 20,000. These proposals talk about using Special Operationscommandos. These commandos would hunt down insurgents. Some U.S. forces would be used to bolsterAfghan security forces via air support, logistics, and training. These actions are justified on the phony

pretext of the "war on terror." We have over 12 years of the bloody, relentless war. Afghanistan is now abase of operations for projecting American influence and military force all over the region. The AfPak warhas witnessed the escalating of drone strikes in Pakistan. Now, some reactionaries want a conflict in Iran.We know that the West wants to have intrigue in the Central Asian republics. Americans forces havepropped up the regime of Afghan President Hamid Karzai. There is a huge force of U.S. SpecialOperations troops. These troops are known for night raids and mass killing. This is about forcing a foreignoccupation to continue. There are green on blue incidents too. This is where Afghan soldiers and policeturning their guns on foreign troopspoints to far broader anger and hostility to the continued USpresence. Allen's proposals want to have meetings this week in D.C. between Obama and Karzai. Thisdeals with the terms of the U.S. military presence after 2014. Karzai and his government are dependenton Washington. They are dependent in its economy on international aid. The West funds the Afghansecurity forces. The latest Pentagon review said that only one of Afghan's army's 23 brigades is able tofunction independently. The White House wants American troops and personnel retain immunity from

prosecution under Afghan law after 2014. The U.S. said that it doesn't want permanent military basesin Afghanistan. Yet, there are joint facilities where American personnel that will have the freedomof action to serve Pentagon's purposes as well. A puppet regime in Afghanistan is created by ourtaxpayer dollars. We witness U.S. led operations or NATO attacks in Iraq, Libya, and now Syria.Washington and London want to extend its economic and strategic dominance in the energy rich regionsof the Middle East and Central Asia. There have been local assassination units, mercenaries, spying, andother terrorizing of the populations. This modern technology is advanced, but its techniques are similar tothe 19th century European colonialism from manipulation of ethnic rivalries or agents. The West usedSunni Islamist militias as a means to overthrow the Libyan government. America is in league to despotic

regimes of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States, but it claims to represent democracy and freedom.The majority of Americans and its allies are opposed to the occupation of Afghanistan. Manyestablishment liberals were one of the greatest factions in the political sphere in protesting the Iraq Waralmost 10 years ago, but now some of them are curiously silent when President Barack Obama is in

The West arms terrorists in Syria. Al Qaeda is killing civilians in Syria too. The mainstream media lied andsaid that the West is only funding so-called moderate rebels. They claim that the moderate rebels aretilting the balance of the Syrian conflict against the Syrian government. The Washington Post talked about

the West sending new weapons to the rebels. These rebels include many factions like the Free SyrianArmy. The United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, and others are funding the rebels as well.The Washington Post refused to use the term of Al Qaeda as one of the factions in the rebel groups. Thereality is that the Al Qaeda network is huge among the so called moderate rebels. Al-Nusra is Al Qaeda inSyria. It is linked to the Western created and backed moderate opposition. Moaz al-Khatib, leader of theso-called National Coalition, demanded the US take al-Nusra in particular off their list of sanctionedterrorist organizations. In December of 2012, Reuters quoted al-Khatib as saying: The decision toconsider a party that is fighting the regime as a terrorist party needs to be reviewed. We might disagreewith some parties and their ideas and their political and ideological vision. But we affirm that all the gunsof the rebels are aimed at overthrowing the tyrannical criminal regime. Even Reuters admitted that theUSA designated Jabhat al-Nusra as a foreign terrorist organization (and said that it was trying to hijackthe revolt on behalf of al-Qaeda in Iraq). The rebels have been involved in terrorism in Syria like the killingof civilians including school children. The West funds Saudi Arabia and Qatar and the West hypocritically

accuse them of being main financiers of al-Qaeda. Since at least 2007, the West had plans to overthrowboth Syria and Iran by funding and arming al-Qaeda related groups. The National Salvation Frontcontacted with the U.S. State Department as means to try to have a coup against Syria. One of the NSFsmost influential members is the Syrian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood the decades-old politicalmovement active across the Middle East whose leaders have inspired the terrorist groups Hamas and alQaeda. Its Syrian offshoot says it has renounced armed struggle in favor of democratic reform. SeymourHersh's 2007 article entitled, "The Redirection" admitted that the Bush administration tried to undermineIran by funding Sunni extremist groups that were sympathetic to Al Qaeda. The article said that the U.S.,Saudi Arabia, and Israel worked together in 2007 as a means to try to harm the nation of Syria. When youlook at the truth, the truth is apparent and transparent. The truth is that the West, Israel, Saudi Arabia, ISI,and Qatar either helped create Al-Qaeda or aided Al-Qaeda related groups as a means for them to ruleover Middle Eastern territories. The West readily use a divide and conquer strategy where ethnicities,religions, cultures, and socioeconomic backgrounds are exploited as a means for select corporations

including groups like the IMF to have a further foothold in the capacities of various countries. Now, thewar on terror is spreading into Africa and as far as Southeast Asia. This assault on the Syrian people byterrorists is truly immoral indeed.

The real anti-war movement should continue their actions. We should oppose militarism, neo-colonialism,and all ills in society. It is not about being from the South or the North in America. I do believe in sendingtrue respect to any human being including the President of the United States of America. Yet, as a man,I will not endorse Empire, quasi-austerity, the militarization of Africa, the prison industrialcomplex, drone attacks, the War on Drugs, or laws which are against our civil liberties atall. I don't get down like that. You can be on your suit and tie stuff or not. Just make surethat you have some real soul power and your mind is on righteousness not corruption.At the end of the day, I am going to be happy living my life, having humor, and fightingfor justice as well. We have to advance equality too. We all breathe the same air, we all

care for children, and we have a sense of love for humanity irrespective of the color of ahuman beings skin. Treating your neighbor as yourself means something. We are allmortal. I will not be cold like the winter, but shining like my own light like a sunrise.

Now, we have a responsibility too. If a person just talks about the White Housesimperfections and does nothing, then that person has no reason to talk. If you want totalk and be real, you should go out and participate to help out the people. It is ourresponsibility also to do constructive action in our communities. We should all do it. Itcan be working in civil liberties groups, cultural development group, anti-poverty

programs, mentoring, teaching, handling the growth of businesses, working intechnology (beyond just Netflix) or engineering, working in construction, health, or amyriad of jobs. We can succeed if we work hard and fight against evil. There can be noeconomic progress without political organization. In other words, I can have money, butif I do not politically prioritize it, then it could be wasted. So, money is a tool. It is not Godat all and it not superior to humankind. Organic and natural foods ought to be advanced

in society not dangerous chemicals and dangerous GMOs either (which can harmhumanity, animals, and the entire ecosystem. Monsanto is tied into this evil agenda ofGMOs. These folks have been tied to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation as well. Theystore millions of seeds in the Arctic, but refuse to advance real modernization actions inthe Third World without GMOs). A human being has the right to a job and an income.Also, housing is a human right. One of goals that we should fight for is the fight ofshelter including affordable housing for every man, woman, and child on the face of theEarth, not only in the USA.

Many truth loving individuals live in the South, the Midwest, the East, the West, andthroughout the Earth. It is about whether we will have liberty and freedom or whether wewill not. That is the bottom line.
