Congo's Future Is Slavery

Here is something to think about on "Independence Day":

RT Documentary travels to the vast, near-landlocked Democratic Republic of Congo, prized for its mineral resources, but plagued by centuries of colonial rule, dictatorship, civil wars and lawlessness, and meets people trying to make a living in one of the most desperate places on Earth.

The documentary crew’s key to understanding the country, seven times the size of Germany, was Bernard Kalume Buleri, born in 1960, the same year DRC was granted its independence from Belgium. Buleri served as an interpreter, guide, and finally the hero and symbol of the country, having been a direct participant in some of its bloodiest chapters.

“I can't say that the Congolese, we are in control of our destiny. No, because the ones who benefit from our minerals are not the local population, but Western countries are the ones who are taking everything. They make themselves rich, while we are getting poorer and poorer,” says Buleri.

The country of almost 80 million is one of the world’s largest exporters of diamonds, coltan – essential for electronics – and has massive deposits of copper, tin and cobalt.

“I'm afraid even for my children. Because they will continue in this system to be slaves forever. We'll never be powerful enough to challenge the Western countries. So, the future will be the future of slaves,” Buleri continues.

Those of us who enjoy the tech-enabled high life in the West need to keep two benefactors in mind:

• Nikola Tesla, who invented our world; and
• People of the Congo.

None of them received more than a pittance of the wealth they created.

The REAL Hunger Games

Countries like Yemen, Chad and South Sudan have been devastated by famine and starvation in recent years, with millions of people suffering despite a global surplus of food. But the problem is not a lack of resources - they are starving due to the effects of unending Western imperialism.

Transgenderism - Connecting The Dots

Here's a question for all of you who are blinded by science - is there a connection between these two stories?

(1) https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3934423/gender-unknown-baby-registered/

and

(2) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/07/02/fish-becoming-transgender-contraceptive-pill-chemicals-flushed/

I think there is, and one has to ask why the "climate change" Chicken Little types are not triggering over this disaster, too.

Stephen Hawking Vs. Donald Trump

Professor Stephen Hawking says President Trump will destroy the earth:

https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/3935615/stephen-hawking-fears-trump-could-push-earth-over-the-brink-and-start-chain-reaction-which-wipes-out-humanity/

I think Hawking knows as much about climate science as Trump does about theoretical physics - next to nothing.

The same applies to Leonardo DiCaprio, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg, all of whom have been successful in their primary careers, but who are dilettantes when it comes to science.

I'll be frank - I have no workable solution to any of our problems. But neither do any of these guys. We're not going to escape to Mars, and we'll starve to death long before sulfuric acid rains from our skies.

Britney Spears In Jerusalem

I'm embarrassed for the Israelis:

Britney Spears’ arrival in Israel has caused quite the commotion. It’s the pop star’s first visit to the country and a tour of the holy sites in Jerusalem on Sunday was described by Israeli news outlets as a veritable mob scene.

While Spears’ security detail was substantial, the Western Wall is mainly accessible by foot. This presented a challenge for the “Make Me ...” singer and her team as they made their way through mobs of fans, press, and onlookers.

One of the last times there was so much commotion over a visitor to Jerusalem is described here:

On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.

John 12:12-18 KJV

Of course, Britney's arrival is more accurately described here:

And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

Exodus 32:1-4 KJV

I have some advice for the Israelis - you claim to be G-d's chosen; please start acting like it. Stop worshiping the golden calf from Satan's kingdom in America.

Medieval Times In The Middle East

Here is an interesting essay by George Friedman and Kamran Bokhari:

http://www.mauldineconomics.com/this-week-in-geopolitics/medieval-times-in-the-modern-middle-east#

Is this claim believable?

"Arab nation-states are now failing in the Middle East, and though their failure is primarily due to their governments’ inability to create viable political economies ..."

Note well the authors fail to connect Israel to this failure and inability. The fate of the Arabs would make a LOT more sense if they did.

War Vs. Politics

War is the continuation of politics by other means ...

Carl von Clausewitz

Politics is the continuation of war by other means ...

Michel Foucault

And round and round we go.
