Hey everyone, I only just came across this on my feed and I thought it needed some more attention. There are companies ransacking our oceans and getting away with it cause the fine hey get is less than the profit they make. This neo-colonial and ecological ransacking behaviour is disgusting and needs to be stopped please if you can send an email to the eu commissioner for fisheries. Hopefully this will help make a change in the right direction. Here is a link to make sending the email easy and quick:

Appomattox Courthouse National Historical Park, Virginia, 2017.

9 April is the anniversary of the end of hostilities in the so-called Civil War.

Used as a visitor center, this structure is a reconstruction of the courthouse which stood when the traitor and terrorist Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Grant bringing the war of Southern Aggression to an end. The surrender papers were actually negotiated and signed in the McLean House a hundred or so meters distant.

In retrospect, it is unfortunate that the Southern traitors were not treated far more harshly. The South was allowed to revert to a state of feudalism, one not much different from the slavery prior to 1860 for many of those formerly enslaved. Most of those who had been rich soon retrieved their fortunes and continued as landlords to tenant farmers who were little better off, economically or socially, than slaves had been. At a minimum Lee should have been imprisoned and executed for his acts of treason, and the Southern plutocracy should have been stripped of their wealth which, in turn, should have been given as reparation to the formerly enslaved. One could imagine a far different country evolving, one based on a redistribution of wealth from those who had profited from slavery as partial repayment to those who had suffered from it.

Before 2 months i was in BBC Africa Google hang out interview, its was About African Youth Bloggers and the interviewer ask me malicious question : why you think the Western power is behind the overthrown or killed the African liberation leaders ??? me: All these Pan Africanism leaders were overthrown or killed because they did not fit the ‘’planned regime’’ strategy like whats happening to President Nkrumah who was democratically elected in Ghana The imperialist countries including CIA in America and Patrice Lumumba was legitimately elected First Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Belgium and the American government were involved in his assassination and overthrow of his government Evidence that he was burnt alive has emerged and last year a still embarrassed Belgian government appointed a Commission to investigate the circumstances of Lumumba death and Thomas Sankara & Amilcar cabral who were assassinated by foreign powers cause They were not trusted to look after neo-colonial economic interests at the expense of African economic interests..

I support the Yemeni peoples and the Houthi people there in their resistance against the Yankee-British-Saudi war of aggression that is currently taking place. The neo-colonialists are terrified that their gulf monarchies are being surrounded in the Gulf area and that the water channel in the Persian Gulf is basically now under the strategic control of Iran and allies. As Leila Khaled said at the ‪#‎mxfilmfest‬ the priority in the Muslim world is to unite to defeat the neo-colonial death squads, which operate in Yemen and are backed by Saudi and other Gulf monarchies and also by the Pakistani ISI. Victory to the anti-imperialist resistance in Yemen, total defeat to the neo-colonial death squad project and total defeat to the British-Yankee-Saudi war of aggression on Yemen.This war of aggression is a desperate move by the enemy as they see their hegemonic position under direct threat in the region.

Nothing at all can be understood today about any African problem unless one starts from the realization that the one and only force which is destabilizing Africa is the impoverished African peoples rejection of the inhuman dictatorial regimes to which they are subordinated This rejection cannot be either neutralized or diffused and the The Western countries are obviously seeking to destabilize Africa their policy is naturally one of consolidation and defence of the neo-colonial status quo As in all Third World countries this policy aims to keep the people in a constantly worsening state of destitution and oppression by means of dictatorial puppet regimes The subversive actions directed by certain imperialist countries against some African progressive regimes or even occasionally regimes merely putting up a show of anti-imperialism are only tactical operations which fit into this broader overall strategy Indeed those regimes which have caved in under harassment and accepted the role of serving imperialist interests unconditionally are increasingly allowed by their appreciative masters to retain the use of a more or less radical rhetoric And African revolutionary struggling against contemporary neo­-colonialism must be fully aware of the immense potential and decisive role of popular struggles

Zimbabwe is once again an eye opener to all Africans who value their national sovereignty and control of their country’s mineral wealth and other Africa national resources for their people The sustained attack on Zimbabwe is an economic war by imperialist Western countries on Africa These countries have a long history of “planned regime ’’ If this fails, then they resort to “regime change” To Britain and America and all their satellites ‘’democracy’’ and ‘’legitimacy’’ is when their imperialist interests prevail over those of the African people President Nkrumah was democratically elected in Ghana The imperialist countries including CIA in America overthrew his government and Patrice Lumumba was legitimately elected First Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Belgium and the American government were involved in his assassination and overthrow of his government Evidence that he was burnt alive has emerged and last year a still embarrassed Belgian government appointed a Commission to investigate the circumstances of Lumumba death and Murtala Mohammed of Nigeria and Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso were assassinated by foreign powers and Milton Obote in Uganda was overthrown by Britain under Heath’s government and in his stead Idi Amini was installed He murdered thousands of Ugandans All these African leaders were overthrown or killed because they did not fit the ‘’planned regime’’ strategy They were not trusted to look after neo-colonial economic interests at the expense of African economic interests and in This century western imperialist leaders have come up with the ‘’regime change’’ strategy The excuse is that some African leaders had stayed too long in power Well in Britain Prime Minister Robert Walpole ruled for 21 years, Daniel Arap Mooi ruled Kenya for 24 years and Hastings Banda ruled Malawi for 33 years Mobuto Sese Seseko ruled DRC for 32 years, Gnassingbe Eyadema of Togo was President for 38 years,Omar Bongo Ondima of Gabon ruled for 42 years, Hosni Mubarak ruled Egypt for 30 years , al bashir ruled sudan for 24 The Western imperialist leaders never pointed fingers at these leaders because they toed the line of the Western masters They served imperialist interests more than those of their own countries In fact Mobuto of DRC and Hosni Mubarak were very close allies of the USA None of these leaders were ever asked to give in to Democracy until in the case of Congo the Congolese people drove Mobuto out of power The people of Egypt did the same to Mubarak It is insult to intelligent Africans who recall that these imperialist countries that practised slavery, colonialism and racism and perpetrated atrocities against other humans killing them and taking their lands and riches by terrorist militarialism are today posing as ‘’teachers’’ of ‘’democracy’’ ‘’legitimacy’’ ‘’good governance’’ and ‘’rule of law’’ while their hands are dripping with the blood of millions of Africans from whom they stole not only their countries but their men and women as slaves to build their own imperialist economies that are still under developing Africa to this day This makes it clear that if an African leader is not favoured by western powers he is a wrong leader for democracy If he or she wins elections they are illegitimate If indeed the leaders of western countries are people of high morals and almost infallible and now Africa is being attacked because it is tired of flag independence It wants to control its own riches They have been looted by imperialists for far too long and Africans must defend Africa cannot have her riches looted by imperialists through puppet leaders forever Former slave traders in humans and colonial thieves of other people’s countries have no credentials to qualify as champions of democracy and legitimacy in Africa

It was awful, was it not, that the rich should have this effect on the poor, making them always want to apologize for their poverty, and at all times to sacrifice future necessities just so that they could make a brief show of the wealth they could never hope to have.
