The only reason people in Africa are starving is because Africans do not control the vast majority of traditional prime and irrigated farmland as they once did before the White barbarian came and took control of that land for the very purpose of exporting food back to Europe and America (the prime export the US imported from Africa through their European colonial partners was the result of good African food, well raised healthy African slaves).

If Africans want to raise their standard of living they must seize the land where food is grown for export by the white controlled multinational agribusiness conglomerates and simply internalize those food stocks until everyone in Africa is guaranteed to eat well for the rest of their lives. If after that is accomplished and there’s room for exports so be it, but not until then.

As a part of land reform African nations must stop thinking in the western nationalistic format and go back to tribal thinking and simply redraw African borders to recreate tribal homelands in order to reduce tribal conflict over nationalistic power. The tribal system is not perfect however it is a great deal better than the nationalistic system and borders the put in place for the purposes of dividing and conquering tribal thinking.

There was a time when drummers could distribute a message anywhere in Africa in a day through the continent wide communications cooperation system that came out of the tribal thinking. Today with nationalistic thinking Africa is divided by conflict carefully manipulated to advance the European invader’s cause. European’s bought and sold African leaders within the Artificial Nationalistic Monetary System that every day pushes the average African outside the marketplace where they are left to starve to death.

There is a reason why tribal systems developed and tribal territories formed. It is because they work. By working I mean the instinctual hard wired goal of individual health and freedom of movement throughout the tribal territory and beyond to seek procreation are fulfilled. Nationalistic enterprises fail in this matter on all fronts. Nationalism makes malnutrition slaves of everyone allowing disease to set in and decimate populations.

Nationalism has long been a handy tool of Europeans when invading and occupying a territory for its resources and slave labor. This is because Europeans wiped out almost all of their own tribal knowledge and know-how through the tool of Christian imperialism. Tribal leaders became Christian ordained kings. Christian ordained kings built city-state’s where power became concentrated and lead poisoning drove the ruling class insane and paranoid causing the destruction of folk or peasant or tribal knowledge forcing the vast majority of the populations in Europe to rely almost completely upon psychotic ruling elite’s for guidance in their daily lives.

I know that this solution of rejecting all things colonial and global will be resisted by some corrupt African leaders but just as an example: when Mugabe attempted land reform during the first years of the newly formed government of Zimbabwe that replaced the former European regime of Rhodesia, that effort failed for the simple fact that the European and his global economy did not support it, did everything to sabotage it and most certainly did not give up any of the prime farmland in Zimbabwe in order to make it work. Instead ,corporate farming for export controlled by White corporate interests went on uninterrupted creating and entrenching resentment and the messy results of Mugabe’s present land reform program in which the slum dwellers in the cities are having their shanty shacks bulldozed forcing those slum dwellers to migrate back to rural areas in order to populate the recently seized white controlled plantations. Plantations where the Chinese are being contracted to create crop solutions which I am sure the Chinese are looking forward to taking advantage.

In other words Tony Blair and George Bush and for that matter any previous president or prime minister has never once suggested land reform for Zimbabwe or for any other nation and in fact Tony Blair and George Bush have moved aggressively in international currency markets to isolate Zimbabwe by devaluing Zimbabwe’s currency to nearly nothing.

When I hear White Liberals here in America complain about Mugabes’ latest land reform moves in Zimbabwe I have to scoff at them and ridicule them and say “what did you expect would happen?” “Did you expect the cute little Africans to just accept a limited form of political democracy with absolutely no economic democracy?” “**** off you stupid morons!” “Why are you not providing help to Zimbabwe? Economic models for land reform and the democratization of their economy?” “Why isn’t Tony Blair offering help to Zimbabwe to make sure land reform in Zimbabwe is really land reform? Instead Der Furor Blair is imposing economic isolation declaring economic warfare on the entire population of Zimbabwe?”

In Zimbabwe one tribe, the Shona, has dominated the other, the Matabele. These are the two major tribes that dominate the Zimbabwean population and politics. This within the single border nation state the British forcibly imposed has led to endless political conflict. Mugabe, who belongs to the Shona guaranteeing perpetual reelection, has finally gotten completely pissed off at the deceit of the Europeans and as much as it is very messy what Mugabe is doing, it is a lot less messy than what the European is doing globally.

If any White American and British subject or for that matter any colonial power with absolute economic control over any portion of Africa’s destiny wishes to comment or complain about what Mugabe is doing in Zimbabwe and be heard with any credibility by Africans they must first apologize to Africans at the UN just as the Germans had to apologize to the Jews. Then just as the Germans had to pay for their crimes against the Jews, they must pay reparations to Africa for everything the White barbarian robbed from Africa which includes the land they still control in Africa.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) – Venezuela has moved its central bank foreign reserves out of U.S. banks, liquidated its investments in U.S. Treasury securities and placed the funds in Europe, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Friday.

“We’ve had to move the international reserves from U.S. banks because of the threats,” from the U.S., Chavez said during televised remarks from a South American summit in Brazil.

“The reserves we had (invested) in U.S. Treasury bonds, we’ve sold them and we moved them to Europe and other countries,” he said.

Arab horsemen from distant Hejaz today galloped in triumph through the streets of Damascus. As the sun was rising over the mosques and spires, Major TE Lawrence, the young British officer whose tactical guidance has ensured the success of the Arab revolt, drove through the lines in an armoured car. One Arab rider waved his head-dress and shouted, “Damascus salutes you”.

Led by Emir Feisal, son of Sherif Hussein, now to be King of Syria, and his British friend Lawrence, who had fought the Turks all the way from Arabia, the Arabs were first into the capital.

…There is a serious danger that law and order may break down in a place packed an excitable mixture of desert and city Arabs. Notables who until the last minute worked with the Turks now proclaim their loyalty to the Allies. Already there are reports that some have been shot. General Allenby’s first task will be to install a military government to keep order and restore the city’s public services.

Conforming to arrangements agreed with Britain, the French will take control of Syria. General Allenby’s army is preparing to move east to link up with French forces whose task is now to take the port of Beirut in Lebanon.

Hmm…could history provide a clue about Islamic rage? Your war of liberation from the Turks delivers your people into European hands.

Conservative commentator William Bennett yesterday defended comments he made on his radio talk show suggesting that aborting black children would reduce crime, saying he was merely musing about a hypothetical argument and he made plain to listeners that he was not stating his own position.

Bennett, a former U.S. education secretary and national drug policy director, is under fire from Democrats, civil rights leaders, black conservatives and, as of yesterday, the White House and the Republican Party for saying Wednesday that “you could abort every black baby in this country and your crime rate would go down.”

He added immediately that such a thing would be “an impossible, ridiculous and morally reprehensible thing to do.”

Yesterday, with the storm over these comments intensifying, Bennett released a defiant statement saying critics unfairly had pulled his comment out of context: “A thought experiment about public policy, on national radio, should not have received the condemnations it has.”

Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, in a statement typical of a parade of similar comments from Democrats, denounced the remarks and called on Bennett to apologize. “Bill Bennett’s hateful, inflammatory remarks regarding African Americans are simply inexcusable,” he said. “. . . Are these the values of the Republican Party and its conservative allies?”

The White House and other Republicans made haste to say that the answer to Dean’s question is no. Asked President Bush’s reaction to Bennett’s remarks, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said, “The president believes the comments were not appropriate.”

Similarly, Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman, who has been reaching out to African Americans and other minorities, called Bennett’s comments “regrettable and inappropriate.” But Mehlman also lashed out at liberals whom he accused of engaging in racially divisive rhetoric when it suits their interests: “What’s much worse is the hypocrisy . . . from the left.”

The combative Bennett, whose syndicated radio show airs on the Salem Radio Network, offered no apologies. He explained that his comments came in response to a caller who suggested that Social Security would be in better financial shape if abortion were illegal, leaving more people to pay into the system. Bennett cautioned against making such far-reaching arguments and drove home his point by offering what he called “a noxious hypothetical analogy” to reducing crime by aborting black children.

Bennett’s statement went on to say that “the whole issue of crime and race” has been on people’s minds in light of the situation in New Orleans, and is aired frequently in academic settings. Given that, he called his comments barely noteworthy.

“Anyone paying attention to this debate should be offended by those who have selectively quoted me, distorted my meaning, and taken out of context the dialogue I engaged in this week,” his statement said.

Others disagreed. Michelle D. Bernard, senior vice president of the conservative Independent Women’s Forum, said Bennett’s remarks underscore why many African Americans distrust conservatives even if they share similar values on some social and religious issues.

“In choosing to use the hypothetical genocide of black children as a way to reduce crime . . ., Bennett shamefully traded on the pervasive stereotype that it is African Americans who are responsible for all of the crime in the United States,” she said. “People wonder why black people don’t trust . . . notions such as compassionate conservatism, and Bill Bennett just added fuel to the fire the Bush administration has worked hard to put out.”

Robert Woodson Sr., president of the National Center for Neighborhood Enterprise, said “it was stupid” for Bennett to even ruminate on such an explosive topic but defended him as a good man. “Sometimes intellectuals become detached from common sense,” he said.

First ‘impossible’, then ‘ridiculous’, and only then ‘morally reprehensible.’ Arrogant fool that he is Bennett does not get it. A ‘thought experiment’ indeed. Maybe some wishful thinking. Look at the splitting that goes on: despite it all he’s ‘a good man.’ Hypocrite Dean chimes in, the guy who said the way to deal with race is by not dealing with it at all

Media Matters article:
Addressing a caller’s suggestion that the “lost revenue from the people who have been aborted in the last 30 years” would be enough to preserve Social Security’s solvency, radio host and former Reagan administration Secretary of Education Bill Bennett dismissed such “far-reaching, extensive extrapolations” by declaring that if “you wanted to reduce crime … if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down.” Bennett conceded that aborting all African-American babies “would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do,” then added again, “but the crime rate would go down.”

Bennett’s remark was apparently inspired by the claim that legalized abortion has reduced crime rates, which was posited in the book Freakonomics (William Morrow, May 2005) by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner. But Levitt and Dubner argued that aborted fetuses would have been more likely to grow up poor and in single-parent or teenage-parent households and therefore more likely to commit crimes; they did not put forth Bennett’s race-based argument.

From the September 28 broadcast of Salem Radio Network’s Bill Bennett’s Morning in America:

CALLER: I noticed the national media, you know, they talk a lot about the loss of revenue, or the inability of the government to fund Social Security, and I was curious, and I’ve read articles in recent months here, that the abortions that have happened since Roe v. Wade, the lost revenue from the people who have been aborted in the last 30-something years, could fund Social Security as we know it today. And the media just doesn’t — never touches this at all.

BENNETT: Assuming they’re all productive citizens?

CALLER: Assuming that they are. Even if only a portion of them were, it would be an enormous amount of revenue.

BENNETT: Maybe, maybe, but we don’t know what the costs would be, too. I think as — abortion disproportionately occur among single women? No.

CALLER: I don’t know the exact statistics, but quite a bit are, yeah.

BENNETT: All right, well, I mean, I just don’t know. I would not argue for the pro-life position based on this, because you don’t know. I mean, it cuts both — you know, one of the arguments in this book Freakonomics that they make is that the declining crime rate, you know, they deal with this hypothesis, that one of the reasons crime is down is that abortion is up. Well —

CALLER: Well, I don’t think that statistic is accurate.

BENNETT: Well, I don’t think it is either, I don’t think it is either, because first of all, there is just too much that you don’t know. But I do know that it’s true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could — if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down. That would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down. So these far-out, these far-reaching, extensive extrapolations are, I think, tricky.

Lewis “Scooter” Libby has been called Dick Cheney’s Dick Cheney: a constant presence behind the scenes enforcing loyalty providing the means to meet his boss’s ends.
Mr Libby (who earned his nickname as a hyperactive infant) played a central role in compiling the White House’s allegations of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, travelling with the vice-president to the CIA’s headquarters in Langley, Virginia, several times in 2002 to chivy sceptical agency analysts.

Before Colin Powell made his fateful presentation of the WMD case to the UN in February 2003, it was Mr Libby who tried to persuade the former secretary of state to include controversial reports that Mohammed Atta, the leader of the September 11 hijackers, had met an Iraqi agent in Prague. Mr Powell rejected the claims but Mr Libby did not give up, telephoning him late into the night on the eve of the presentation, calling for the inclusion of other allegations.

Mr Libby also contacted the Pentagon before a substantial contract to repair Iraq’s oil fields was awarded to Halliburton, Mr Cheney’s old firm. And he talked to Time magazine’s Matt Cooper and the New York Times’s Judy Miller in July 2003 about the identity of a CIA undercover agent, Valerie Plame who was the wife of a prominent administration critic.

He joined the Bush administration along the same path followed by many influential officials. After taking a political science class at Yale given by Paul Wolfowitz, the current head of the World Bank, he became part of a network of neo-conservatives known as “the Vulcans”. Mr Wolfowitz later persuaded him to drop his private law practice and join the Reagan administration.

He moved from the state department to the Pentagon under the first President Bush, where a policy paper he wrote calling for the US to build up its military strength to the point where it could not be challenged, caught the eye of the then defence secretary, Mr Cheney.

A white farmer convicted of murdering a black former employee and throwing him to a pride of lions was sentenced to life imprisonment yesterday at the end of a case that hit a raw nerve across South Africa, highlighting simmering racial tensions 11 years after the end of apartheid.
Crowds of angry black people inside and outside the courtroom in the small rural town of Phalaborwa cheered when Judge George Maluleke sentenced Mark Scott-Crossley to life imprisonment. Simon Mathebula, an employee of Scott-Crossleya who was also convicted of the murder, received 15 years, with three years suspended, as the judge ruled that he was merely an accomplice.

The two men were convicted of killing Nelson Chisale in January 2004. Mr Chisale had been sacked by Scott-Crossley a month before but returned to the farm to retrieve some pots and pans. He was seized by Mathebula, who tied him to a tree and, with Scott-Crossley, beat him until he lost consciousness, the court was told.

Scott-Crossley then used his pickup truck to carry Mr Chisale several miles away to a farm where rare white lions were being bred. With the help of Mathebula and two other employees, Scott-Crossley threw Mr Chisale into an enclosure which held five lions.

All that was found of Mr Chisale were a few bones and some shredded clothes. His remains were identified by a single finger from which police could take a print. Although the autopsy stated that Mr Chisale had died from being “mauled by lions”, it was not clear whether he was dead before being thrown into the pen or not.

Large parts of the Amazon rainforest are at their driest in living memory, a direct consequence, scientists say, of the severe hurricane season off the US Gulf coast.

Rainfall has been significantly below average this year along the Rio Solimoes and the Rio Madeira, two of the major Brazilian tributaries that flow into the Amazon, causing water levels to drop to record lows. Rivers and lakes are drying up, revealing huge sandbanks and making navigation difficult for boats. Since many towns are only accessible by river, medicine, food and fuel are running out in some communities.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 – Federal auditors said on Friday that the Bush administration violated the law by buying favorable news coverage of President Bush’s education policies, by making payments to the conservative commentator Armstrong Williams and by hiring a public relations company to analyze media perceptions of the Republican Party.

In a blistering report, the investigators, from the Government Accountability Office, said the administration had disseminated “covert propaganda” in the United States, in violation of a statutory ban.

Study: Sun’s Changes to Blame for Part of Global Warming

Increased output from the Sun might be to blame for 10 to 30 percent of global warming that has been measured in the past 20 years, according to a new report.

Increased emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases still play a role, the scientists say.

But climate models of global warming should be corrected to better account for changes in solar activity, according to Nicola Scafetta and Bruce West of Duke University.
