But whatever. I did, however, come across a book on the rape of the Congo called King Leopold's Ghost. It's about King Leopold II of Belgium, and how he made like he was such a nice guy, helping all those poor Africans. He had all sorts of charitable organizations that conned the world into allowing him to operate in the Congo.
Turns out he was draining the country dry.
Since the time of the British Empire and the manifesto of Cecil Rhodes, the pursuit of treasures on the hopeless continent has demonstrated the expendability of human life. Despite decades of apathy among the primary resource consumers, the increasing reach of social media propaganda has ignited public interest in Africa’s long overlooked social issues. In the wake of celebrity endorsed pro-intervention publicity stunts, public opinion in the United States is now being mobilized in favor of a greater military presence on the African continent. Following the deployment of one hundred US military personnel to Uganda in 2011, a new bill has been introduced to the Congress calling for the further expansion of regional military forces in pursuit of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), an ailing rebel group allegedly responsible for recruiting child soldiers and conducting crimes against humanity.

On the economic front, China has been excluded from the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA), a trade agreement intended to administer US-designed international trading regulations throughout Asia, to the benefit of American corporations. As further fundamental policy divisions emerge subsequent to China and Russia’s UNSC veto mandating intervention in Syria, the Obama administration has begun utilizing alternative measures to exert new economic pressure towards Beijing. The United States, along with the EU and Japan have called on the World Trade Organization to block Chinese-funded mining projects in the US, in addition to a freeze on World Bank financing for China’s extensive mining projects.

The concept of US intervention into the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan, Central African Republic and Uganda under the pretext of disarming the Lord’s Resistance Army is an ultimately fraudulent purpose. The LRA has been in operation for over two decades, and presently remains at an extremely weakened state, with approximately 400 soldiers. According the LRA Crisis Tracker, a digital crisis mapping software launched by the Invisible Children group, not a single case of LRA activity has been reported in Uganda since 2006. The vast majority of reported attacks are presently taking place in the northeastern Bangadi region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, located on the foot of a tri-border expanse between the Central African Republic and South Sudan.

The bankers who run this world couldn't care less about the welfare of Africans. Never have, never will. That a slickly produced piece called "Kony 2012" immediately became a cause celebre in the whore media tells me that the film had received the imprimatur of bankers, a veritable seal of inauthenticity. The litmus test these days is this: "What are the hookers on TV talking up? Well, then I know that that thing is a con."
I grow weary of watching the United States military lick the shoes of their banker masters. if it isn't opium they're making the world safe for, it's tantalum --all undertaken under the embarrassingly transparent pretext of helping the unfortunates of the world.
War is a racket, as Smedley Butler said. The United States military is a scam operation. That is why I burned all my medals, and all my citations, and why I disavow any connection whatsoever with the United States military.
When asked in polite company if I had ever served, I just look at my shoes and answer a quiet no.
