I just wish blacks loved themselves like they love others. Obama are you your brothers keeper?

Obama has played his cards on Cote d'Voire and Zimbabwe and of late Libya. Why not African countries using the resources beneath their soil to create a continent wide currency based on these resources. Why not implement oil for gold? Shouldn't the African Development bank exist to provide service than following the dictates of the IMF and the World Bank?

I wonder if we are being fair to Presidnt Obama.Many African Americans here in the U.S. are looking for him to solve all their problems and it seems people of color across the world are looking for the same thing. Can any man live up to that?

Personally and I know I speak for others we are not looking for President Obama to solve our problems. We are looking for him not to be the problem. Bombing Libya, Ivory Coast and extending the sanctions on Zimbabwe to include the sale of the recently found diamonds is Obama being the problem. His policies toward Africa show a self hate that needs to be overcome. It would definitely be a plus if he worked with the African Union to solve the problems that the continent and we face as a people. But because of his policies toward Africa the AU is threatening to remove itself as being a member of the United Nations. To prompt this kind of action from African governments would be one hell of a legacy for the first black president of America to leave. Obama has lost his way. Now he is trying to use his famly to act like he is alright. We won't be fooled. Michelle, Shasha & Malia must have an A-Ha moment and speak out against his policies. I see Mandela has requested a meeting with them. I am sure they have gotten an ear full. Stay tuned to guage Michelle's reaction. It is our time. Up you mighty race. Accomplish what you will!! YOU READY??

A Call to the Anti-War movement and all who are still human
Posted: 2011/06/20
From: Source

There is a famous quotation worth calling to mind...

Lisa Karpova
Pravda.Ru

First They Came .... poem by Martin Niemöller, prominent German anti-Nazi theologian and Lutheran pastor:

"In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up."

The bombardments of Libya get bloodier and bloodier, more and more ferocious, more and more desperate. Let those with eyes open them and see, NATO is totally unmasked for exactly what they are.

NATO is a terrorist organization, the armed enforcer of the west and specifically the United States, the equivalent of the mob enforcer, except the mob enforcer probably possesses more humanity.

Behind NATO is the United Nations, established after the war to hopefully prevent a repeat of that sort of conflict ever again. Instead, we see it sanctioning and validating the most inhuman, savage, beastly behavior by NATO, pounding the living daylights out of a country that doesn't have the means to fight back. And its leader, Ban Ki-Moon, looking on stupidly and approvingly, most certainly being well compensated for his cooperation.

What Libya has at its disposal basically is the morality and character of its people, who have been willing to withstand, to endure, to continue despite the fact that this terrorist organization is trying its best to make the lives of everyone in Libya unbearable so that they will no longer support their leader and their government.

NATO does not care how many civilians they kill, in fact, the more, the merrier. Suffer and die until they get what they want...a change in government to get rid of a leader who will not bend his knee.

The dogs of war, the purveyors of state terrorism grossly over estimated themselves and underestimated the Libyan people. They underestimated the love and support that their leader, Muamar Ghaddafi, has from his people and their character, which includes the willingness for total self sacrifice.

Day after day, these people come out on the street to demonstrate their determination. They stand boldly and proudly in the embattled capital despite the very real possibility that the next bomb might be falling right in the middle of them.

THAT is COURAGE. The Libyan people should have the total support and admiration of everyone in the world. In fact, they should make us all feel ashamed.

So yesterday, they came for the Serbs. But no one spoke up, because they were not a Serb. Then they came of the Iraqis, but nobody spoke up because they were not an Iraqi. Today they come for the Libyans, but no one speaks up because they are not Libyan.

Tomorrow, they come for...?

I believe there are still people with some character who love peace, without distinction of creed, ethnicity, nationality or political affiliation who might have the courage to stand up to these psychotic, sadistic monsters that are NATO. How insolent NATO is, believing they can get away with anything.

Are we going to let them? Are we going to stand up before they come for us? There are strong and right thinking blocks who in truth constitute the majority, I repeat the majority of mankind.

SCO, BRIC, ALBA, UNASUR, the Rio Group, the African Union, China, India and Russia, the left progressives of the world...this is the majority, the last stand, the last chance, the last salvation of all of us before there is no one left for NATO to pursue in their evil gluttony for resources.

The mask is off...NATO must die or we will all die. The capitalist system is in its last death rattles and in its condition, it is more dangerous than ever. The devil has great wrath because he knows that his time is short. NATO cannot and will not succeed.

NATO is a horror on this planet. What makes them doubly horrendous is their pretensions to providing a "humanitarian" service. Their pretentions to acting for freedom and democracy are laughable. But their lies and media manipulation are deadly serious.

"War is Peace, Ignorance is Strength, Freedom is Slavery," was meant as a horrifying futuristic picture by George Orwell, not as a blueprint on how to succeed in plunder and conquest. Humanitarian bombing, collateral damage, part and parcel of the Orwellian nightmare.

NATO western corporate media would be the pride and joy of Adolph Hitler and Joseph Goebbels.

One of the things that has impressed me throughout the years of fighting their evil is their ability to continually repeat their lies, having been caught lying time after time, still with the ridiculous expectation of being believed the next time the lies are repeated.

Unfortunately, many have been so dumbed down, so turned into unthinking zombies that they do believe these lies and repeat them themselves. Witness the stupid U.S. servicemen who went to Iraq to "get even for 9-11" when Iraq didn't have a damn thing to do with 9-11. Better the morons to look at their own pool of buddies.

The fight against terror? No it's a fight FOR terror, to create more and more of it so that the destablization prepares the ground for more opportunities to grab resources. Colonialist, imperialist piracy, in full view of the entire globe on an insane rampage.

Just check out the daily count of missions...it demonstrates total evil, demonic insanity. Even the mind of Adolph Hitler could not come up with such evil.

Please, leaders of the world, realize that this is exactly what they are preparing for YOU and your country before you go along with them again! Did someone mention a missile "defense shield"?

NATO and Al Qaeda, strange bedfellows? Heck no, they have been in bed together since the first war against Afghanistan when the CIA founded, funded, supplied, trained and paid Islamic terrorists to try to take down the only decent, progressive government Afghanistan ever had.

Then these very same Al Qaeda operatives funded by CIA moved into the Balkans and the Caucasus and created destabilization in those areas.

No one within NATO has the human quality of being humble to realize that they are going to exhaust themselves and run out of their means to destroy. They cannot go on forever like this.

They must be deprived of all sustenance that the nations provide them. Cut off their funds, cut off their supply of meat puppets that they are sending into war.

Everyone of conscience is obligated to contact their government authorities at the very least to express their disapproval. Then the next step is to come together with others of the same mind, and together we can STOP NATO before NATO destroys all life on this planet.

Lastly and most importantly, take legal action or support those leaders who do. Well, actually what I would like to see is a world revolution. Let the people rise and let the hangings begin of war criminals, take their ability to control and to make war away from them forever, set the planet free of fascism which is corporatism at its worst and capitalist exploitation!

Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household. Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me" --Jesus Christ, Matthew 10:34

An embedded reporter snaps war footage. The U.S. military-industrial complex and media work together to propagate the agenda of government.
NATO's decision to intervene in Libya on humanitarian grounds has become an alarming and revealing assessment of America's understanding of war. The way the established media portrayed the Libyan conflict, and its subsequent reception, illustrates our society's failure to recognize how the power dynamics of plutocratic governance shape our realities. There is significant historical evidence that during times of war propaganda is used to justify military action for special interests. If we are to believe the theme of change will define our generation, we must pierce through both the media and the government's rationalization of war.
I have found the established media's reporting on Libya to be lacking in depth and consideration of an alternative to military intervention. This is not unusual. History repeatedly shows that during times of war, the established media have a tendency to mislead, deceive, and (in some instances) fabricate to serve the interests of the rich and powerful. This is shown through the writings of Carl Bernstein, the Nayirah testimony, the treatment of former U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, and the beginning of the Iraq and Afghan wars. Essentially, the media has been used to facilitate consent, not dissent.
Given the assumption that we learn from history, our passive acceptance of such reporting is surprising. In 1758, author Samuel Johnson wrote, "Among the calamities of war may be justly numbered the diminution of the love of truth, by the falsehoods which interest dictates and credulity encourages." Later, President Dwight Eisenhower warned us of the emerging military-industrial complex, which we learned has a tradition of lying in addition to tremendous governmental influence. If the military has to go to such lengths for approval, it is clearly not what we naturally desire. Thus, why has there not been more widespread skepticism and objection with regard to Libya?
Led by the U.S., NATO used reports of imminent danger to civilians as justification for humanitarian intervention. Yet, history shows that there is a good reason to approach this explanation with skepticism. In fact, it was recently reported that President Barack Obama exaggerated the humanitarian threat. Once we consider issues such as who the Libyan rebels are and what role oil, banking, previous planning, and geopolitics play in the situation, it seems that history is repeating itself.
The question for our generation becomes: At what point do we categorically reject war and its mechanisms from the beginning rather than in retrospect? We can do this by repudiating all war. We must reject the seemingly righteous theory of humanitarian intervention because it is divorced from how social conflicts actually arise and are resolved. The idea that bombing an indiscriminate killing method the U.S. has become notoriously inaccurate at can improve a situation is untenable. The most recent example is Kosovo; it was the nonviolent movement that ultimately resolved the conflict. Moreover, what right does any country have to determine the affairs of another country? This is the same expression of moral superiority used to justify imperialism.
If we want to live in a world of peace, we must learn from our history and see that war is an unnatural phenomenon; we need to reject it on a philosophical and spiritual level. Removing war from our conscience creates space for dialogue and diplomacy, and brings us closer to a shared utopia.

I am not sure where Obama is with Africa. It appears he has chosen to prioritize the gay issue over Black issues. He has appointed some individuals that are Black to be judges but I have not seen anything done across the board like he has done for gays. He has refused to attend the World Conference on Racism twice. He has authorized the bombing of Libya and went along with the bombing of Ivory Coast. He has allowed sanctions against Zimbabwe to stay in place and even extended the sanctions so we can't buy or sell the diamonds recently found there. The record indicates Obama may be sufferring from some self hate that is deterimental to people of African descent's existence. We are not necessarily looking for him to solve our problems but we sure don't like him being the problem. Although I am supportive of him, I truly have some serious, I mean serious problems with his policies toward Africa and Africans.

Hey Ajabu--
I wonder have you taken a walk down the Monon Trail lately?? Tell your little thug-wussies to come out and play...I've been taking some trips down it lately and I'm gonna be on it Monday morning...;)

Jayson

This is a message to all wide awake persons of African descent,"The thing to do is to get organized; keep separated and you will be exploited, you will be robbed, you will be killed. Get organized and you will compel the world to respect you." Marcus Garvey

Jason:

In light of Devon Moore being a victim of bullying I would ask Prosecutor Curry to reconsider charging Devon as an adult. My attached statement goes into greater depth concerning my request.

Rev. Mmoja Ajabu’s Statement Concerning the Devon Moore Arrest
According to the Probable Cause Affidavit distributed by the Marion County Prosecutor’s office on June 16, 2011 Devon Moore was arrested for the shooting of Gary Bavard on the Monon Trail. On Tuesday June 21, 2011 “The Marion County Prosecutor’s Office announced that it has charged Devon Moore, the individual involved in the Monon Trail shooting incident on June 16, with attempt murder, attempt robbery and carrying a handgun without a license. After review of the circumstances of this matter and in light of the serious nature of the alleged crime, Prosecutor Curry has elected to charge Mr. Moore as an adult rather than as a juvenile.” It is unfortunate that this youth’s life is tainted for life at the expense of Gary Bavard. However, I submit that if the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department had did its job then neither Mr. Bavard would have been shot, nor would Devon be in jail for shooting Mr. Bavard. Let me explain.

Also in the Probable Cause Affidavit it states “prior to this incident (the shooting on the Monon) on 06/06/2011 Devon Moore made a police report regarding a threatening phone call. Devon Moore reported a former classmate ___________ called his cell phone stating “Are you going to pay me, because if not we are going to fight, and we are going to have a shoot-out.” On 5/14/2011 Devon Moore along with his mother Crystal Morris made a police report of a threat to life. In the report Crystal Morris reports that ¬¬¬¬¬¬___________ came to her residence looking for her son, Devon Moore. Crystal Morris stated in the report __________ look very extremely angry and intimidating towards her when she told him he was not home. The police report she confronted her son about ________ being at the residence, Devon Moore explained to his mother _________ that he owes __________ money. He told his mother that ___________ had threatened to assault him. Devon Moore explained to the reporting officer that he owed __________ $80. Devon Moore says he has no idea why _________ believes he owes him money. When Crystal Burris was speaking to her son in presence of Officer Cauley, Crystal Moore asked Devon Moore “Why did you do this?” Devon Moore replied because of __________.”

Clearly from the above statement delineated in the Probable Cause Affidavit we can see that Devon was being bullied. On two different occasions the IMPD were made aware of this bullying situation. The report given on May 5, 2011 even states Devon was in fear of his life. For me this raises all kinds of questions. Did police officers question the person that called Devon’s cell phone and came to Ms. Morris’ home displaying extreme anger and using intimidating words? In the Affidavit it gives no indication that IMPD followed up on the reports from Devon and his mother. If there was no follow up then IMPD is complicit in Devon’s behavior that caused Mr. Bavard to be shot. If these facts are true it makes the point I made in response to Attorney General Joe Hogsett’s desire to have a comprehensive strategy to address gov violent crime in Indianapolis.

I am calling on Prosecutor Curry to investigate whether IMPD did its job. If IMPD did not relieve the pressure that Devon Moore was receiving from the unnamed bully then Devon should not be charged as an adult. Yes, he should be held accountable for his actions, and also should IMPD. Fairness and justice must exist across the board. IMPD should not be allowed to be unaccountable just because they are police. Their possible unaccountability is causing the streets of Indianapolis to be more dangerous, not safer. IMPD’s possible irresponsibility n Devon’s case and its irresponsibility in Terrell Jackson of the Pop It Off Boyz case is not making Indianapolis’ streets any safer. Terrell and an associate were shot several times before the news conference held by the Prosecutor Curry, Public Safety Director Straub sensationalizing the so-called major gang arrest of the Pop It Off Boyz. Like it appears the unnamed person that was bullying Devon was not arrested, I am not aware of an arrest of the people that shot Terrell. And I know for a fact that Terrell pick out his shooters in a photo array. Why won’t the police do their job? If IMPD does its job then crime can be stopped before it happens. It appears that IMPD can work against youth that happen to be black but not for them. This selective law enforcement implicates IMPD as a partner in the crimes being committed on the streets. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Mr. Bavard was needlessly shot. IMPD must be held accountable. If fairness and justice is exercised across the board then I am willing to team with the Attorney General, IMPD and the city to help make Indianapolis a safer place to live. I have written Attorney General Joseph Hogsett. I am awaiting his reply. As a team with integrity Indianapolis can become more of a world class city and a safer place to live.

Ajabu-...
So your answer is more lame excuses for criminal trash...LOL!

Like he should get some slack because "It's not his fault".

That's exactly what's wrong with "your community"...you never want to take responsibility for your actions, and always have an excuse for your "bad behavior"that blames someone else instead of accepting responsibility for your community's violent behavior.

Law abiding citizens are sick, and tired of your garbage stinking up our community. My guess is we will be seeing some of your little thug-boyz getting snuffed out the next time they decide to rob, steal, assault citizens in our town.

We are TIRED of your LAME excuses, and phony "It's ain't my mo' fo' fault, ahh din't do nuttin ta nooboddy" bullshit cowardly wussy-ness when it comes to explaining away criminal behavior from criminal trash.

I only wish Mr. Brevard was armed so he could have
"taken out the trash", and protected himself from this idiot thug-wanna be. Devin Moore will soon be enjoying the tasty food at Pendleton...he's lucky not to have gotten a head tap, soon he will be getting an ass-tap. .....and where is this boys Daddy????

Michelle Obama got snubbed by President Zuma of South Africa. Why would Barack send her to Africa to support his policies that are causing Africans to be bombed to death in Libya and Ivory Coast. His extending the sanctions against Zimbabwe is causing the actual starvation of his people. What kind of man would send his wife and children into a situation like this? Who is in control of Obama? The African Union has threatened to pull out of the United Nations due to American policy under United Nations auspices. Listen to the program. Your life will not be the same.

Your comments are sought and welcome.

Brilliant to protest but African leadership should garner support and courage to say no to Western powers who are now operating in Africa with impunity. This must stop and now.

Alex you are exactly right. And really the African leaders have said no to Western powers. Unfortunately the African leaders are not strong enough to make their no mean no!! That is why it is imperative for us to push Africa's leaders to morph the African Union into the United Stlates of Africa and to centralize all countries militaries. Then Africa will have the strength to make their no mean now. Wouldn't you agree?

i think d best thing for Africa is to pull out entirely from d ICC. Let's form our own African Criminal Court on human rights abuse.

Not only pull out of ICC, but pull out of the UN until we can have 2 African nations on its permanent security council, where all the countries cause the greatest insecurity to the world. Lets get our own African body and lock out the world until they are ready to deal with us fairly!

I think that the African countries that are signatories to the Hague should delist themselves or unsign such agreement. It is not fair and targets only weak leaders or those seen by the white supremacist as noncoperating allies or enemies. The fact that everyone who stepped his or her feet in that court never make it out is also a case for concern. It shows that the case is not based on justice or evidence but pre-arranged gimmicks.

NATO bombing a country in Africa is a declaration of war on d African continent. This would be d first time NATO wil targeting Africa, if it is allowed to continue without been checked, i think d nxt time it will b anoda African country to b targeted. NATO was actually formed to engage d Warsaw Pact of the former Eastern Block. Why Africa now?

African countries should pull out of UN and withdraw recognition from ICC,- until they agrees to reserve a seat for Africa in UN Security Council. That was what China did till they offer her a seat on the Security Council.
I want to suggest on this forum that we write a collective letter to the South African government stating our proposition and concern for the down -in -the dumps future being mapped by the greedy imperialist leaders for African continent. I am proposing South Africa because it seems only the SA government; among African countries has at least a little beat of respect from these arrogant imperialist leaders....

But at the moment when they speak they are not speaking with one voice because some of them are western proteges put in place to protect western interests. If all African leaders could come out and make a strong statement or boycot UN Gener...al Assembly until their demands are met. That would send a strong message to the rest of the world. Africans leaders did it during South African apartheid era and that got some needed results. Perhaps they should do that again this time.

THEY CAN'T STOP THIS, AFRICA IS THE FUTURE, IF NOT GADDAFI, IT WILL BE AFRICA'S NEW WORLD BLACK LEADERSHIP, AFRICA WILL BE FREE OF WESTERN RULE, THE NEW WORLD ORDER WILL FAIL, IT'S OUR TIME TO TAKE AFRICA BACK!!!

More speculation has been raised on the reasons for NATO's intervention in Libya. As RT's Laura Emme

Alex again your words are right on point. Check this though. If we form our own united African nations as the United States of Africa thn the continent wide organization would be strong enough to ignore the present western controlled U.N. To unify around the present U.N. is good, but to unify around are own selves is in my humble opinion better. What say you??
