"It is no exaggeration to suggest that African children whose lives have been destroyed by a vaccine—given for a disease that isn't a concern to them—were used as lab rats by the Gates Foundation, PATH, UNICEF, and WHO. Their existence proves the vaccine is extremely dangerous. Nonetheless, it was hailed as a success. ~ Gaia Health Summary

In December 2012, vaccine tragedy hit the small village of Gouro, Chad, Africa, situated on the edge of the Sahara Desert. Five hundred children were locked into their school, threatened that if they did not agree to being force-vaccinated with a meningitis A vaccine, they would receive no further education. These children were vaccinated without their parents' knowledge. This vaccine was an unlicensed product still going through the third phase of testing.
Within hours, one hundred six children began to suffer from headaches, vomiting, severe uncontrollable convulsions and paralysis. The children's wait for a doctor began. They had to wait one full week for a doctor to arrive while the team of vaccinators just carried on vaccinating others from the village. More children became sick.
When the doctor finally came, he could do nothing for the children. The team of vaccinators, upon seeing what had happened, fled the village in fear.
Fifty children were finally transferred to a hospital in Faya and later taken by plane to two hospitals in N'Djamena, the capital city of Chad. After being shuttled around like cattle, these sick, weak children were dumped back in their village without a diagnosis and each family was given an unconfirmed sum of £1000 by the government. No forms were signed and no documentation was seen. They were informed that their children had not suffered a vaccine injury. However, if this were true, why would their government award each family £1000 in what has been described as hush money?
Interestingly, during the time the children spent in the hospital, two more children joined them from another village...
Since this time, Vactruth has been passed a series of secret documents, which fill in some missing gaps in this story and expose just how corrupt the organizations behind this tragedy really are.
The Exclusive, Heartbreaking Details
On January 14, 2013, arrangements were made for seven female patients between the ages of 8-18 to be evacuated from the Hospital of Mother and Child (HME) and the General Hospital of National Referrals (HGRN) in N'Djamena and transferred by air to a clinic in Tunisia. This was scheduled to take place between January 16 and 22.
The documents in our possession state that the Chadian government arranged for the patients to be accompanied by Dr. Joseph Mad-Toingue, Chief Service of Infectious Diseases of the National General Referral Hospital; Dr. Moumar Mbaileyo, anesthesiologist employee of the National General Referral Hospital; and Mr. Dihoulne Kakiang, state-certified nurse, employee of the National General Referral Hospital.
On January 29, 2013, a letter passed between The Chief Service of Infectious Diseases of HGRN-N'Djaména and Mr. Director General of the National General Referral Hospital, stating:
"Mr. Director General,
Herewith I have the honor of putting into your hands the report of the mission completed in Tunisia between 15 and 22 of January 2013 regarding the medical evacuation of 7 patients.
The Chief of Service."
Vactruth now has this report.
A Parent's Worst Nightmare
The report states that seven female patients between the ages of 8 and 18 had suffered adverse reactions after receiving the meningitis A vaccination during a national campaign, which took place on December 11, 2012, for the prevention of this illness. These patients had originally been taken to the Regional Hospital of Faya, before being transferred on December 26, 2012, to the Hospital of Mother and Child (HME) and the General Hospital of National Referrals (HGRN) in N'Djamena.
Arrangements were later made for a medical evacuation to transfer these patients to Tunisia for further tests and treatment.
According to the report, the departure took place in N'Djamena on January 15, 2013, at 10:50 pm after a long wait at the Hassan airport in N'Djamena because of the late arrival of the plane.
The journey took place on board a Tunisian plane chartered by the International Medical Society (SMEDI). The party consisted of seven patients, three members of the medical team and seven parents (two men and five women) who accompanied the sick children.
Interestingly, the document states that the party did not fly alone. The government report states that twenty other passengers traveling to Tunisia for the same reason (medical evacuation) also joined the party. Sadly, there were no further details on these patients in the report.
Were these patients also vaccine-damaged by the meningitis A vaccination, and where did these twenty other sick patients come from?
Just before the plane took off, an 18 year-old patient had what the report describes as a 'shaking episode,' and was given a 10 mg vial of diazepam before boarding the plane. Other than this incident, the flight went well.
The Specialists Say "Case Closed"
The group arrived in Tunisia on January 16, 2013, and was received by SMEDI agents who took care of the police formalities (entry visa) before dividing the group into three parties. The patients were transported by ambulance to the clinic, the medical staff was taken to a hotel, and the patients' parents were taken to a center.
On the afternoon of January 16, the three medical staff were introduced to SMEDI's Director General, M. Ghazi Mejbri, to get acquainted. This was followed by a work session with the medical coordinator, Dr. Folla Amara. In the course of this meeting, the condition of the patients was discussed and plans were arranged for their care.
The patients were taken to the neurological department of SMEDI's La Sourka clinic. The clinic had received the children's medical records in advance and was reported to have conducted their own clinical and biological tests on the patients before meeting with the medical team that had accompanied them.
On January 17, a meeting took place with Professor Rachid Namai ("chef de clinique"), Dr. Kefi and Dr. Mabet. It was concluded that the children's 'shaking attacks' or convulsions were of no consequence. On the paraclinical level, the report stated that the serum tests of five patients did not reveal any anomalies, nor did the EEGs of six patients.
The EEG of the seventh patient showed minor anomalies in the immediate post-critical phase, but was reported to have stabilized. An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) was to take place on all seven patients. After the meeting, the team visited the patients who were all reported to be well, except for one child who had developed tonsillitis and had to receive appropriate treatment.
On January 19, a second meeting took place at the La Soukra Clinic during which they examined the patients' medical records that gave the results of all the medical tests that had taken place. Among the biological perturbations there was reported to be one case of persistent thrombopenia (a lower than normal number of blood cell fragments called platelets), two cases of of elevated immunoglobulines E (Ig E) and five cases of gram negative bacteria directly upon examination—culturing has not been contributory.
The report stated that, generally speaking, the patients showed a raised tendency for hypoalbuminemia (swelling), hypo creatininemia (renal dysfunction), and hyper glucorrhagia (no definition found).
The MRI results showed no anomalies, and the HIV and hepatitis serologies were negative. The medical team found the children's health to be satisfactory. The report states that the children had no infectious cause for their illness and the hypothesis of an immuno-allergic reaction was deemed to be more probable.
At this point, it was decided to close the investigation due to the advice from specialists and followed up with epidemiological and pharmacodynamical studies.
No Reason For Concern?
On January 21, the mission members visited the clinic at La Soukra for a last time. They found all patients waiting for their stay to end. The report states that a short meeting took place with the chief of service who promised to give his medical report shortly. The mission ended with a visit to the Dr. Naoui Mohamed Néjib's laboratory where the biological tests of all the patients had been performed.
The mission members left Tunisia on January 22, 2013, around 2:00 pm and arrived in N'Djaména at 4:00 pm.
They concluded that the medical evacuation to Tunisia had given them the opportunity to investigate more thoroughly seven patients who had developed post-vaccination reactions during the national vaccination campaign against meningitis.
It was stated that, generally speaking, the clinical state of the patients did not give any reasons for concern and that the paraclinical balance of the majority did not show major perturbations.
The mission was deemed a success.
The report was signed by Dr. Joseph Mad-Toïngé in N'Djaména on January 28, 2013.
Determined Parents Won't Give Up
The parents tell a very, very different story. According to parents and relatives, these children were locked into their school, threatened with no education and forcibly vaccinated without their parents' knowledge.
They state that the children are still desperately ill and that they have no way of getting any medical care. After the mission, they were left in Faya and had to make their own way back to the village.
The children are still suffering severe convulsions. One relative told me:
"The children drop suddenly to the ground and shake violently before going paralyzed. We do not know what is wrong and we want answers. No one will help us. Our children were well and fit, we have never had meningitis in our area, so why did they vaccinate our children with this vaccination?
Our children have since become aggressive in their behavior and have a rash all over their bodies. They are having terrible frightening convulsions. Why won't anyone help us?"
I have been informed that the parents have formed an activist group to put out their plea to the world.
Unanswered Questions
The parents ask:
Were the vaccines used on our children out-of-date?
Had some of the batches used been spoiled in the heat?
Did the vaccinators vaccinate our children inadvertently with an unsafe product?
Was the maximum duration of four days without refrigeration respected and adhered to?
Were the vaccinators adequately trained?
They state:
All this disturbs us and makes us fear the worst effects for the future. We do not know what is going on behind the scenes and what the Minister of Health, the organizations involved with the tragedy (Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, PATH WHO, MVP and UNICEF) are saying or are going to do. As parents, our priority is to get back the health our children. We feel that it is very sad that [our] entire city is paralyzed and is suffering from epilepsy. We were hoping that our government would make a stand and save our children but it has so far failed to do so. Therefore we call assistance for everyone in the world to intervene.
Our needs as listed below:
A health specialist, an organization or an individual to assist the sick children, who are innocent victims and help them to get their health back.
Human rights organization or an individual lawyer who could help the parents' association with legal issues and get justice for the children against the Chad government, WHO, MVP, PATH, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Indian company Serum Institute of India Ltd.
Parents need independent and freelance journalists to help them to get media coverage and tell the world what has happened to the children of Gouro, Chad.
Conclusion
The parents' requests are simple and the same as any other parent left in this impossible situation. They feel deserted and betrayed by the Chadian government, who have left their children to die, while at the same time announcing the vaccination program to be a success. All the parents are very angry and are pleading with the world to help. They state they need lawyers, doctors, medication and above all, support.
This whole debacle has been a coverup from the very beginning. One of the children's relatives has told me that there has never been a case of meningitis in this part of Africa. So, why vaccinate children needlessly for a disease that does not exist in this area? Worse still, according to my source, this particular part of Chad is not even on the meningitis belt, and yet this vaccine was given to these children. He could be right, as according to a map attributed to the Gates Foundation, it is not.
The abnormal tests demonstrate that the vaccines caused these problems (especially the abnormal immunoglobin levels). Had the doctors done more specific tests proving vaccine damage (especially anti-myelin antibodies), they would have found abnormal levels, which indicate vaccine injury. Did they avoid doing these tests on purpose?
It seems very likely that these children, who are now sick and vulnerable, were used as lab rats and have since been left to die by some of the biggest organizations known to mankind. Five months have passed and a lot of covering up the truth has gone on and still, the world waits for answers. The children of Gouro and their parents want the following organizations – PATH, WHO, UNICEF, and the Gates Foundation — to make a public apology and to own up to what has happened. They want and need accountability.
This is a violation of the Nuremberg code and these government "officials" are guilty of crimes against humanity.

"It is only when we make an unbiased journey into his works that we would appreciate the height the power of his pen has placed Africa in the literary world. Only then would we realize that that son of Ogidi, had and will continue to have a towering figure that needs no prize in the name of any Nobel to maintain"
by Vincent Alicho
The controversies that trailed Prof. Achebe’s last book—There Was a Country: A Personal History Of Biafra—came from different perspectives. While some people saw the book as one that came to shed more light on the events of the Nigerian/Biafran war, others saw it as a book that should not have been published in the first place.
The proponents of the second group came up with so many reasons—from the book being an attack on some personalities and a particular ethnic group, to Achebe being anti-Nigeria, one whose book, they claim, fanned the embers of disunity. But one of the reasons given by this group that caught my attention was the one that said that Achebe was bitter with a particular ethnic group because he failed to win the Nobel Prize in Literature which a kinsman of this ethnic group won in 1986.
Even now that he has died, some articles have been written on this issue of Nobel Prize; while some are regretting that Achebe did not win the prize, others are pointing out from their personal views what Achebe should have written or should not have written in order to win the prize. Some are even praying and hoping that he wins the prize posthumously. At the end of the day, one almost gets the impression that Achebe set out to win the Nobel Prize in Literature but failed.
Alfred Bernhard Nobel rightly said his prize in literature should be given to an author from any country who has produced in the field of literature the most outstanding work in ideal direction. But we must not also forget that there are some controversial angles to this said prize: there is the controversy over what should be the correct interpretation of the phrase ideal direction as used by Nobel himself; there are also alleged political interests regarding the nomination and selection of those to receive the prize.
The point remains that the Swedish Academy is continuously criticized over the award; while some people in their criticisms maintain that there are many well-known writers who have not even been nominated let alone awarded the prize, others maintain that some recipients of the award did not deserve it. When all these are considered, one continues to wonder why Achebe’s destiny in the world of literature should be tied to a prize given in the name of Alfred Nobel. Those who still think that the personality of Achebe got diminished for not winning a Nobel Prize have totally refused to acknowledge the task Achebe set out to accomplish for Africa.
On page 34 of There Was A Country, Achebe wrote: "I have written elsewhere of how I fared when I entered a short story competition in the Department of English, and how my teacher, who supervised this competition, announced the result, which was that nobody who entered the competition was good enough. I was more or less singled out as someone with some promise, but the story I submitted lacked 'form'. Understandably, I wanted to find out more about what the professor meant by form. It seemed to me that here was some secret competence that I needed to be taught. But when I then applied some pressure on this professor to explain to me what form was, it was clear that she was not prepared—that she could not explain it to me. And it dawned on me that despite her excellent mind and background, she was not capable of teaching across cultures, from her English culture to mine." That was it. It was all about THE QUEST FOR FORM.
As far as the English professor was concerned, whatever 'form' Achebe’s story lacked was meant to be form from the white man’s worldview. Achebe and his fellow students’ short stories were 'formless' to her because maybe the students failed to shape or structure their stories from the white man’s perspective. Remember that at that time, nearly all the literature books made available to the young African students bore names of foreign authors—from Shakespeare to Charles Dickens, etc.
It seems those were the authors whose books had the much needed form. But that was when Achebe got challenged—to move on and tell his own story, the African story, whether it lacked form or not. He never knew how that audacious step he took would change the scenario of the literary world. Yes, he captured the “form” that was embedded in African literature in his first and most famous novel—Things Fall Apart. This is a book that championed the knocking into oblivion [of] foreign literature in Africa, all the 'form' they possessed notwithstanding.
I would subtly disagree with those who have posited that the wide spread and acceptance of Things Fall Apart, especially in foreign climes, was as a result of the tragic end of Okonkwo. These people believe that Okonkwo took the option of suicide when it dawned on him that he had gone against the wishes of the white man. They argue that by taking his own life under such a situation, Okonkwo oiled the ego of the white man who nobody could ‘challenge’ and go unpunished.
These people therefore conclude that such a book has advanced the personality of the white man who, on recognizing that, has in turn championed its (the book’s) spread since such a move could mean the spread of their own superiority over Africans. But then, in Things Fall Apart, was that really the case? Did Okonkwo take his own life because he was afraid of anyone? Between the African and his white visitor, who really went against the wishes of the other?
What Achebe succeeded in achieving in Things Fall Apart was that he situated the African in his own culture with all his dignity intact. This was a culture that, to a very high extent, was well organized: everyone laboured towards upholding the norms and values of the society; the titled men were the custodians of the community; the Egwugwu masquerade cult settled difficult disputes; the new yam festivals, marriage rites and other ceremonies were well celebrated; titles were given to those who merited them; members of each age grade carried out some specific responsibilities on behalf of the whole community; the values and norms of the society were inculcated into the younger generations through proverbs, folktales, folksongs, etc.; wars were never fought without the community first sending emissaries for a peaceful negotiation, etc.
Things Fall Apart captured an organized African society. Okonkwo was only annoyed with visitors who arrogantly failed to recognize the way of life of their hosts. He eloquently put this message across to them through his death. By taking his own life, Okonkwo told and continues to tell those who would care to listen that he abhors a situation whereby a people are refused to be listened to especially when the message they want to pass across has much to do with their life; that he abhors a situation whereby the way of life of a people is roundly condemned; that he abhors a situation whereby some people are looked down upon as if they were nonentities.
Yes, Okonkwo was totally annoyed with a man who had no respect for his fellow man in his own compound. His death, therefore, could not be said to be as a result of the recognition of any white supremacy or superiority but rather as a result of what he saw as an injustice meted out to his people.
Things Fall Apart has received much recognition and acceptance because different peoples of the world have also passed through some period of injustice, suppression, oppression and condemnation just like the people of Umuofia. These are people who understand more what Okonkwo fought against that led to his frustration and death. Achebe corroborated this line of thought in his last book. After he released Things Fall Apart, he took some time to wonder whether the book would make any meaning or have any relevance to other peoples of the world.
He did not wait for long before he received some reactions from a whole class of college girls in South Korea who wrote to him expressing their different opinions about the book. What did he learn from that? He learnt that ‘they had a history that was similar to the story of Things Fall Apart—the history of colonization…their colonizer was Japan. So these people across the waters were able to relate to the story of dispossession in Africa. People from different parts of the world can respond to the same story if it says something to them about their own history and their own experience’ (There Was a Country, 39).
As I read, Things Fall Apart has been translated into more than 50 languages and has sold more than 10,000,000 copies. With the way people are identifying with it by relating their cultural, political, religious and even economic situations to it, it would continue to be translated into more languages and some million more copies sold. There is no fear about that; the signs are everywhere.
In his article, The Man Behind The Writer, in which he eulogized Prof. Achebe, Emmanuel Dongala, a Congolese writer, called up a story narrated by our lovely Wole Soyinka at the venue of Achebe’s 70th birthday. Soyinka narrated that after he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1986, an admirer came up to him and congratulated him with effusion, telling him how much he loves what he writes. “And what have you read by me?” asked Soyinka. “Things Fall Apart” replied the admirer. Imagine! That is how Achebe has succeeded in turning African literature into world literature. And yet some people maintain that such a man must receive a prize in the name of Nobel before we recognize his worth in the literary world.
Instead of seeing Achebe from the perspective of a writer who did not win a prize from Sweden, Africa should rather see in him a man whose pen brought to limelight a people whose world was hitherto obscured by the stories told about it by others. Africa should see in Achebe a man who has made the rest of the world begin to see themselves in the stories told by Africans. We should see in Achebe a man who has made non-Africans not only to begin to appreciate the rich meanings embedded in African folktales, folksongs and proverbs but to also apply them in their expressions.
Achebe and Nelson Mandela
An example of this is found in a part of the tribute to the late Prof. from Brown University, USA, where the Prof. taught his last class. This part read: ‘At a time like this we could draw many words of wisdom and comfort from the deep wells of various African cultures and traditions to honor him. The most fitting is the simple and elegant phrase, “A great tree has fallen.”’ This elegant phrase is among the numerous ones found in the works of Achebe. Yes, instead of an unnecessary reference to Nobel Prize, we should all look at the literary icon through the eyes of the great African, Nelson Mandela, who saw Achebe as the writer "in whose company the prison walls fell down".
Perhaps an aspect of Achebe that no one can wish away, no matter how hard one tries, is what Amanze Obi captured in his article Achebe and Emergency Pontifices (The Sun, April 11,2013). In the words of Amanze, "beyond literature, Achebe was a man of conviction. He mastered his environment clearly and breathed at it from the vantage position of one who knows. He did not engage in self-censorship. He broke loose from all structures, holding truth as an article of trade". Surely, Achebe held truth as an article of trade. His conviction in what he believed in graced all his works.
It has become obvious that where he mostly remained vehement in presenting issues that have continued to rattle many a people is in his last book, There Was A Country, his parting gift to Africans and to humanity. It is only when we discard our sentimental garments and put on the cloak of reason that we would appreciate what that Man of Letters presented in that book. It is only when we make an unbiased journey into his works that we would appreciate the height the power of his pen has placed Africa in the literary world. Only then would we realize that that son of Ogidi had and will continue to have a towering figure that needs no prize in the name of any Nobel to maintain.

Looking back... at things said in the light of today (part 4)
I really need to know what would drive anyone to blow themselves up. It is such a persuasion; deep. Can one honestly call that state of mind stable? Yet, people who do are such everyday people, the type you would readily share a drink with while discussing local politics; ordinary people. Is it really just faith and belief? It’s something so forlorn; it’s either abject or melancholic. It cannot be rational, normal or considerate. It is definitely suicidal and that cannot be good by whatever the parameters; intellect, religion, capability or doctrine.
For me, my life is not mine to take or give but even if we assumed for a sec that it was, why would I want to blow myself up? And as if that just won’t do, I go and blow up a couple of more innocent lives along with myself. Nobody, but nobody does that in a stable frame of mind. These are really crazy times and it is a very deadly world that we dwell in, incredibly unsafe. I feel like I am being hunted, hunted by government, big business and that dark crew of pirates called politicians. Reason is far-fetched and one’s peace of mind ever elusive.
Democracy today is but an illusion, construed as one may please in definition of its morality. Those that author its language understand the value of elasticity to the society from which they are drawn; make nothing definitive that it may be construed as we wish. But I digress; the question was why would anyone want to blow themselves up?
It would seem a cocktail of reasons blend to convince such an attitude. It is not only religious persuasions that trigger this urge but also a sense of betrayal felt and the frustrating state of want in which a majority of people affected by it, subsist; a frustrating sense of want induced by rogue politicians and the alchemy of hereditary power. They see the double-speak and know it offers them no hope or restitution. They see wastrels, born into privilege, dissipating the resources that should have brought them succor and relief with a decadent obscenity.
They know their lives are pledged to a slow death by those who revel in the resources of their well-being as they watch their children dying for the want or lack of a dime. They understand the truth and worth of a life made less than human by the extraordinary greed of their tormentors called leaders. They accept the affliction that is their natural state of mind from birth to the grave and welcome the mentality that frightens their captors to no end.
There is no sense of destiny for them as they find themselves marooned on that far-flung Island of disillusion, despair and desperation. It is this state of mind, enlivened by the pantomime of religiosity and paradise promised, that infect their complete being to bring about the ‘joyful’ relief of extinction. There is simply nothing worth living for but a terminal destiny that strikes back at their perceived oppressors, quite literally, with their very last breaths; an anticipation that is everything to die for.
It is a state of mind, here today, which endangers all of humanity. A sizzling of deep rage that is the pressure cooker for hate-inspired violence and crimes; murders, arson and indiscriminate killings. An embryo which will hatch to bring forth the bloodiest and most creative of terrors. These conditions are, in all truth, reinvigorated by Western foreign policies that protect and offer sustenance to rogue regimes and monarchical autocracies that they may flourish and debase the dignity of man. It is the suicide bomber and not George Walker Bush that is the greatest phenomenon of our age. He is also the historical yardstick for how cheap life got in the 21st century.
But what can be said or done about people not afflicted by this malaise who queue in line to extinguish themselves? The tragic events that occurred in the U.K only recently bear testimony to the insanity of our world today; children, lovely children blowing themselves up in subways and buses, kids born into privilege, freedom and opportunity wasting an exquisite life. A life others dream about, a life spoon-fed from a golden platter. One that is full of music, flowers and the chatter of birds. A life adorned with blueberries and nectar. I am simply terrorized by the question; why?
One kid was even said to have converted to Islam just a few months ago, yet, quite willingly he sought to lay his life waste according to the dogma of his new conviction. Children, all such lovely children, excited to death by the unraveling of their spiritual boredom and the elusive teachings of that which is incomprehensible. Children that knew no better, led astray by the illusions of self-worth invoked by dubious incantations that decay the goodness of their spirituality; children, devoured by predators of conscience and reason, driven to forfeit the divine gift of existence that is life itself. A gift which even the wretched of the earth cherish and adulate in their prayers and in the hope that they may endure to see another dawn and the rising sun that ushers a new day.
Those kids were as normal as the next. Heck! They could have been GW’s kids. What made them snap? That’s the question. Our kids are freaking out the entire place, from various perspectives, and nobody is noticing. We have raised good kids but through this goodness they have come upon a conflicting essence that challenges the very core of their conscience and upbringing. They know their governments lie and they can see the double-speak as others do. They see the double standards at home and at school and understand the life they are asked to lead is a fraud that their peers do not adhere or subscribe to and now they have risen up in rebellion against it, as only the child would know how. Something has gone terribly wrong for the child to want to cry more than the bereaved and we do not see their rage because we are so busy being grown-ups.
But mine is simply a cry of anguish that the killings and deaths may stop for our world to heal itself, that we may once again cherish life and celebrate it. For the child to grow in the hope that our youths become good and great leaders tomorrow and I, grow old and die in peace. That humanity stay its course and our earth rotate its orbit. We are nothing but transient and our universal responsibility is to leave our world a better place than we found it, for all our children's sakes and those yet unborn.
It should not matter that you are the Pope or Ayatollah, President or King, General or Warlord, saint or sinner, if you live, you must let live. You should do to others as you expect it to be done to you. If you must send others to fight and die for your cause then be man enough to lead the charge or forever keep your peace. You do not kill people to save them from themselves, you do not take away their lands and make their cities desolate and expect they will find the joy of living. You cannot take away another’s freedom and justify it by that which you say threatens them, nothing threatens my existence more than that which steals or annuls my freedom by whatever excuse or pretext.
Our world is in a terribly bad spin and it is the deaths which make life so cheap. It is the grief and the pain, the heartaches, the desperation and helplessness. It is one’s true love, senselessly wasted, that brings about the rush for blood and the crazed urgency to die. And I ask, what manner of lunacy is there that make parents stand over their kids, with a broad grin, and watch as they autograph weapons of mass destruction soon to be deployed in the extermination of another’s true joy?
We have all gone mad in our basic essence; we rejoice in the book of damnation and recite the creed of destruction. The joys of living; good neighborliness, reward for labor done, good health, relief, love for one another and some peace of mind have become measures of weakness that mock the industrious and pious. Our civilization has become no less spectacular than Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylon, scripted in the imbecility of Nero’s Rome. Terrorism may be a social malaise but what it depicts is complete failure; of family, society and our global state.

"It isn’t matter of debate, on any level, that historically, Africa has been the most tormented and tortured of the planet’s continents and regions. Ravaged by centuries of colonialism and its bastard child, the Transatlantic Slave Trade, imperialism, civil wars instigated by foreign intelligence agencies, the plundering of natural resources and faux “humanitarian” interventions en masse, it seems that Africa just cannot find the salaam it undeniably and screamingly deserves."

It isn’t matter of debate, on any level, that historically, Africa has been the most tormented and tortured of the planet’s continents and regions. Ravaged by centuries of colonialism and its bastard child, the Transatlantic Slave Trade, imperialism, civil wars instigated by foreign intelligence agencies, the plundering of natural resources and faux “humanitarian” interventions en masse, it seems that Africa just cannot find the salaam it undeniably and screamingly deserves.
Much has been written about Africa’s plight being a product of Western aggression and Western racism but this is only a partial truth, as is so often the case when a discussion of world events and world history is initiated in the modern era of media domination, manipulation and disinformation. There are hidden hands behind every bit of genocide and suffering in Africa, past and present alike.
In the groundbreaking works The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews: Volume One, The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews: Volume Two - How Jews Gained Control of the Black American Economy and Jews Selling Blacks: Slave Sale Advertising by American Jews, the Historical Research Department of the Nation of Islam, based 100% on Jewish (oftentimes rabbinical) and philo-Semitic sources, unequivocally demonstrates that the torturous, inhuman and genocidal Transatlantic Slave Trade was an endeavor dominated by Jews, going back to the very beginnings of it in Brazil and Surinam.
Despite a systematic smear campaign still going on to this day, the Jewish-Zionist Power Configuration has failed miserably in refuting the scholarly volumes because of the meticulous sourcing. What makes this revelation all the more intriguing, as well as disturbing, is that this hegemony wasn’t only material and physical, with Jews operating as both slave owners and slave traders; it was also ideological, with Jews passing down their dehumanizing religious beliefs to their Anglo partners in human misery.
In the Jewish religion, as ordained by the Babylonian Talmud, Blacks are eternally cursed through the channel known as “The Curse of Ham.” Though the curse originated in Chapter 9 of Genesis in the Bible, no racial identity was applied to Ham, son of the prophet Noah, and there was certainly no anti-Black prejudice.
The racist origins of The Curse of Ham originated within the ‘wise’ rabbinic pages of the Talmud, which damned Blacks to an infinite existence of enslavement. Stated the rabbis, “Ham is told by his outraged father that, because you have abused me in the darkness of night, your children shall be born black and ugly; because you have twisted your head to cause me embarrassment, they shall have kinky hair and red eyes; because your lips jested at my expense theirs shall swell; and because you neglected my nakedness, they shall go naked.” Moses Maimonides, Judaism’s most celebrated rabbinic ‘sage,’ has written that Blacks are “irrational animals” who are “below mankind but above monkeys.”
Maimonides’ views are central to the overall Jewish view of Black people, as his name among Jews is an infallible and holy one. Talmudic rabbis have deepened The Curse of Ham over time, attributing bestiality as a regular engagement among Blacks, concocting depraved sexual fantasies of Ham fornicating with dogs and ravens and thus, having his skin damned with even more blackness for his perversion.
Sick would be an understatement; demented wouldn’t even begin the description. And when the usurping Zionist regime’s policies towards Ethiopian Jews are examined in depth, and they are nothing short of emphatically deplorable, as well as Jewish discrimination against Blacks in the United States due to the disproportionate Jewish accumulation of wealth, it is as clear as the sky is dark when the sun falls that these hideous Talmudic beliefs are very much intact today, in the main blocs of Jewish life.
The Rothschild Family
The Rothschild family, the infamous and monstrously powerful Jewish dynasty of bankers, socialites and philanthropists who are rightly considered to be the godfathers of the criminal Zionist entity, are also linked to profiting from the Transatlantic Slave Trade. The Rothschild family was also fervently Talmudist, a tradition dating back to the family’s grandsire, Mayer Amschel himself, who was described by one S.J. Cohen in an unofficial, albeit accurate, admiring and authoritative biography of the Jewish financier entitled, “The Exemplary Life of The Immortal Banker Mr. Mayer Amschel Rothschild,” as a “zealous believer in the Talmud and chose it alone as the guiding principle of all his actions.”
Therefore, it shouldn’t be one bit astonishing that the Rothschild family would take part in such a cruel, murderous practice as slavery, as their Jewish beliefs dictated to them that it was perfectly okay to do so; their halfwit, nonsensical apologies notwithstanding. The Rothschild dynasty’s beliefs are also intrinsic to the spread of British and French colonialism throughout the African continent.
As the courageous polemical poet and hero Ezra Pound once said, “Until you know who has lent what to whom, you know nothing whatever of politics, you know nothing whatever of history, you know nothing of international wrangles.” The British and French governments would not have carried out and could not have carried out their blood-soaked colonial adventures in Africa without an elephantine amount of money, which they indeed did receive from their central banks in London and Paris respectively, as is properly acknowledged by history.
What isn’t discussed or dare it even be said, what is ignored for fear of what lies beneath the surface, is that the these central banks, according to a cornucopia of Jewish sources, were under Rothschild dominion, with James Mayer in Paris and Nathan Mayer, described frequently in his time as “King of the Jews,” in London.
Millionaires of Jewish extraction were very much the power of France’s financial scene and all of them were surrogates of the House of Rothschild. Jews of socialist, imperialist and republican political backgrounds all worked for the same cause: the furtherance of Rothschild power. As for Britain, the vast majority of the imperial power’s financial transactions were handled by the Rothschild dynasty.
To be clear, the House of Rothschild did not have a mere lackadaisical connection to colonial imperialism, as if they were a fantastical caricature of financial greed, sitting in the lap of luxury while their “money worked for them.” These were Jewish fanatics who sincerely believed in subjugating the planet according to their tribal holy books, plundering the wealth of the goyim as they were meant to do as “God’s chosen people,” as confirmed so hatefully and vividly by this Babylonian Talmud excerpt, BT Baba Bathra 54b, “Property of gentiles is like the desert; whoever among the Jews gets there first, owns it.”
Mayer Amshel Rothschild
The Rothschilds were the active disseminators of colonialism and imperialism and there is no clearer evidence of this than Cecil Rhodes, perhaps the most famous advocate of British world domination and considered to be a pioneer of the British colonial enterprise. This assessment however is quite deceptive as since the early 1880s, Cecil Rhodes was nothing but a proxy for the Rothschild family, who had a “substantial financial hold” over him. Rhodes, who with Rothschild capital established supremacy over the African diamond trade, reported directly to Nathan Mayer himself.
It was the Rothschild front man Cecil Rhodes who, in accordance with the hegemonic plans of his Talmudist masters, established the genocidal colony of Rhodesia, just north of South Africa, setting off a century of tumultuous conflict and unnecessary bloodshed.
Rhodesia would go from colony of the Rothschild Empire, to the sadistic apartheid regime of Ian Smith from 1965-1980, to the nation known today as Zimbabwe, and it is here, where the introduction will end and the study shall begin. The Jewish exploitation of Africa has not ended; it has simply changed faces from the Talmudic financial expansionism of the House of Rothschild to the Zionism of the usurping Jewish entity in Palestine.
Feigenbaum and Silberhaft
On March 1st, 2012, a curious article appeared in the Jewish Telegraph Agency (JTA), the self-described “Global News Service of the Jewish People,” entitled, “In face of desperate African poverty, Ruth Feigenbaum provides a beacon of hope.” Feigenbaum, according to the JTA, became involved in human rights activities in Zimbabwe after her gardener (read: servant) was diagnosed with HIV and subsequently passed away three days later. The entire ordeal “deeply upset” Feigenbaum. Described as a “major player” in Zimbabwe, Feigenbaum used her “international Jewish connections” to build up charities inside Bulawayo, Zimbabwe’s second largest city.
One such group that assisted her was the World Jewish Relief of London, an organization with a heavy hand in Africa and funded by a who’s who of Zionist consulting firms and Jewish fashion magnates including, but by no means limited to, Marks and Spencer, PO Ltd and Paula Ohrenstein Ltd, Lucy Wernick and Associates, Barry Finer, Majesta Ltd and the Jacobson Group.
Some of the World Jewish Relief of London’s notable partners are B’nai B’rith, the institution of exclusively Jewish Freemasonry that the Zionist spy nest known as the Anti-Defamation League is intrinsically attached to, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, a group originally founded as a distribution channel for funds used in the Jewish-Zionist plot to steal Palestine, Lyceum Shaalavim, an Orthodox Jewish school that specializes in Talmudist teachings and the Jewish Forum of Ukraine, a group tied to Zionist fundraising groups throughout the Eastern European nation.
Apart from the alarming connections of the World Jewish Relief of London to the international Zionist criminal network and the racist core of Orthodox Jewry, the real reason why Feigenbaum is bouncing around Zimbabwe is revealed by her words, and it isn’t “humanitarianism.” Feigenbaum, referring to Zimbabwean children that she works with, said, “They have learned something about Jews and Judaism from me.” Assuredly, what these precious, innocent and unsuspecting children “learned” wasn’t the Curse of Ham or the teachings of Maimonides.
Furthermore, Feigenbaum was assisted in her efforts by a South African rabbi named Moshe Silberhaft, who provided her with books for the children that she works with and who a library in her community would be named after. The JTA report noted that, “In her work with local Zimbabweans, Feigenbaum has introduced some Jewish teachings. During the library dedication, she had tears in her eyes watching the orphans sing songs in the two main indigenous Zimbabwean languages, Shona and Ndebele, as well as in English and Hebrew.” Feigenbaum also made mention that, “They greet me on every visit with a ‘shalom’ and thank me by saying ‘todah rabah.’ At Pesach time, with the matzah sent to us by Rabbi Moshe, I arrange a third seder so they can learn a little about our customs.”
What was conspicuously absent from the JTA report, information that confirms who Feigenbaum really is and what her truly sinister intentions are is that she is a member of the African Jewish Congress, a Zionist Lobby group which helps African Jews “retain their links with World Jewry” and which maintains organizational goals of “fighting anti-Semitism” and promoting the interests of the usurping Zionist entity.
The African Jewish Congress is an affiliate of the South African Jewish Board of Deputies and the World Jewish Congress, one of the most powerful Jewish-Zionist groups on the planet. The executive director of the African Jewish Congress is none other than Rabbi Moshe Silberhaft, Feigenbaum’s partner in Zimbabwe, who was rabbinically ordained in occupied al-Quds and is a citizen of the criminal Zionist entity. To repeat, Feigenbaum is no “humanitarian,” no “human rights activist”; she is a cultural Zionist imposing cultural Zionism (also known as Jewish cultural imperialism) on a native population.
Fela Anikulapo Kuti
The legendary Nigerian revolutionary and musical renegade Fela Kuti famously declared that European cultural imperialism was the biggest enemy of the African and was the thing most vital for him to fight against. In this spirit, an addendum should be added that Jewish cultural imperialism (Cultural Zionism) is an enemy just as deadly to the African if not more so due to Jewish religious teachings and Zionist occupation policy (which is rooted in Judaic “wisdom”) both being inherently anti-Black.
Cultural Zionism will install in its African victims a brutal cognitive dissonance in which they vehemently despise racism but also love Zionists, despite their abyssal and ancient supremacist beliefs, specifically in regards to the African, who, in their Judaic worldview, is eternally damned to slavery and “blackness” because of the Curse of Ham.
Cultural Zionism was created and developed by Jewish supremacist and educated Talmudist Ahad Ha’am (real name: Asher Zvi Hirsch Ginsberg), who viewed the criminal Zionist project as a means of founding a “spiritual center for World Jewry,” the indigenous Palestinian people be damned. What Africans need to know is that at the very heart of Cultural Zionism is the destruction of everything that is not Jewish for the furtherance of Jewish interests, as evidenced by the “Greater Israel” doctrine.
Ruth Feigenbaum’s advances in Zimbabwe are merely the beginning of something far more sinister, far more dangerous, like the early Jewish-Zionist settlers in Palestine before her, advancing Jewish cultural imperialism slowly and cunningly.
An integral part of Cultural Zionism is spying and reconnaissance, understanding the indigenous culture before encroaching upon it and destroying it, and fifth columnists for the usurping Zionist entity is exactly what Feigenbaum, Silberhaft and the African Jewish Congress are. It is not coincidental that their activities have heightened at a time not too long after the Zimbabwean government of President Robert Mugabe stood defiantly against international Zionism and its proxies in Washington D.C. and London by vowing to provide the Islamic Republic of Iran with uranium for its peaceful program, despite crippling economic aggression.
Indeed, Zimbabwean Foreign Minister Simbarashe Mumbengegwi pointedly declared, “Restrictions against the two countries {Zimbabwe and Iran} are not accidental. Western states follow the approach of sanction towards countries which do not yield to their domination and act against their interest.”
The cruel sanctions against the Islamic Revolution are well-known. The Western economic war against Mugabe’s Zimbabwe however is a hidden truth, the root cause of the hardships currently being struggled against by the Zimbabwean people and one that was also deliberately absent from the JTA report on Fiegenbaum and her Zionist “activism.”
Robert Mugabe
From the moment of Zimbabwean independence from the Rothschild Empire, Mugabe, himself imprisoned by the apartheid regime for a decade (1964-1974), initiated a program of land reform aimed at redistributing the land confiscated by the Rhodesian settlers back to their rightful owners: native Zimbabweans. The British government, an agent for Rothschild interests, entered into an agreement with Mugabe that it would take care of the Rhodesian settlers. Typically, it reneged, in a deliberate attempt to break the back of the Zimbabwean government and send the country into chaos.
Mugabe, who built excellent programs of national health care and education, resulting in a literacy rate of 95% among indigenous Zimbabweans, the highest in Africa, as compared to an abysmal 39% during the apartheid years, resisted in the name of his people. And as a result of his sincere resistance to the Western plot, the American and British governments, as well as the IMF, an institution dominated by Zionist Jewry, imposed devastating sanctions on his country. The sanctions have prevented the Mugabe government from importing raw materials, laying the agricultural and industrial sectors of Zimbabwe to waste.
Because of Mugabe’s historical principled stance on Palestine, and his courageous efforts to stop Jewish monopolization of Zimbabwe’s clothing and textile sectors, the usurping “Israeli” regime has joined in the economic aggression against the southern African nation of Resistance. The Zionist regime’s Industry, Trade and Labor Ministry, along with the Kimberley Process, an “Israeli”-run forum that fronts as a “human rights” group interested in stopping the flow of blood diamonds onto global markets, and Human Rights Watch, the notorious NGO funded by billionaire Zionist mega criminal George Soros to the tune of $100 million, teamed up to punish Zimbabwe for alleged (read: non-existent) human rights abuses and corruption.
The utter egregiousness aside, what makes the matter so pathetically farcical and so laughably hypocritical, is that the largest exporter of diamonds in the world is “Israel,” and every diamond it produces is a blood diamond due to the fact that it stands accused of war crimes, crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing, genocide, apartheid and extrajudicial executions inside and outside of its (ever-expanding) territory.
The Zionist entity uses the money it procures from its blood diamonds to fund the criminal 64-year occupation of Palestine. And, in a stunning twist of fateful irony, just recently, an “Israeli” pilot named Shmuel Kainan Klein was caught by Zimbabwean immigration officials in an attempt to smuggle diamonds to Tel Aviv.
The Zionist assault on the Zimbabwean people isn’t a new phenomenon either. While Mugabe was fighting the Rhodesian apartheid regime of Ian Smith, “Israel” was advising it, assisting it and arming it, with its patented “Uzi” machine guns and refurbished US helicopters.
With reports abound in the Zionist media about Mugabe’s failing health, all of which, for the record, are false and likely planted by enemy intelligence agencies, the African Jewish Congress’ Ruth Feigenbaum still operating and his nation’s relationship with the Islamic Republic of Iran gaining more ground with each passing day, it is certain that for the foreseeable future, Zimbabweans will not know peace, as they haven’t since the first day the Rothschild stooge Cecil Rhodes illegally stepped foot on their land.
On March 5th, 2012, the worldwide web was set ablaze by a glossy, emotional and deceptive video called “Kony2012” about a Central African rebel group known as the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and its leader Joseph Kony. Produced by a group called Invisible Children, the Kony2012 campaign attracted celebrities from across the (Jewish-run) Hollywood spectrum and garnered major attention from the Zionist media. If these weren’t suspect enough, the red flags were solidified upon examining the campaign poster, which featured Joseph Kony alongside Osama Bin Laden and National Socialist Germany’s Adolf Hitler.
Slamming a leader as “Hitler,” his country as “Germany” and his people as “Nazis” is a common, tiresome, ad hominem and reprehensibly slanderous attack that the Jewish Power Matrix has utilized incessantly since the horrific fall of National Socialism at the hands of the genocidal Allied Axis during WW2, most specifically against the German people themselves, Palestinians and Iraqis. And Osama Bin Laden of course, has been the boogeyman used by international Zionism to justify its ongoing Orwellian “war on terror.”
The matter was quite reminiscent of the “Save Darfur” farce, a campaign that began as an exclusive project of the American Jewish community, with hardline Zionist groups like the American Jewish World Service and Jewish Community Relations Council leading the way in the propagandistic assault on the government of Sudan. More than half of the $100 million raised ended up in “Israeli” banks to fund illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.
Kony
Kony2012 is no less fraudulent as Joseph Kony is wrongfully depicted as this supremely influential warlord who has built up a massive, murderous army through the widespread physical, psychological and sexual abuse of child soldiers. Nowhere in the video does it mention that Kony’s LRA was originally comprised of the Acholi people, an ethnic group repressed and enslaved by the Rothschild-financed British colonialists.
Nor does it mention that the LRA was formed to combat discrimination and resist the military dictatorship of Yoweri Museveni, who receives $45 million yearly from the US government to assist the fight against Al-Shabab, the Islamic Resistance of occupied Somalia. Conveniently, it also doesn’t mention that the LRA hasn’t been active in Uganda or anywhere else in Central Africa since 2006 and Kony himself has been AWOL for some time. The video is a con, pure and simple, and a dangerous one at that, as it attempts to create a pretext (capturing Kony) to justify American military aggression against Uganda and deepen the already-troublesome presence of AFRICOM on the continent.
Despite all of the hype however, Kony2012 is now in shambles. Jason Russell, co-founder of Invisible Children and the driving force behind the viral video, has brought disgrace to the initiative after melting down in public by swearing and screaming to himself, behaving lasciviously and pounding the sidewalk with both hands, all while being in the nude. Moreover, Invisible Children has been caught spying for the brutal Museveni regime and backing US-intelligence-led Ugandan military operations that left scores of innocent men, women and children dead.
In the most devastating blow, and what is now absolute corroboration of previous analytical deductions that pegged Invisible Children as an organ of the arrogant powers, it has been revealed that the NGO is being funded and supported through the Northern Uganda Transition Initiative of USAID, the State Department apparatus so often associated with CIA-type operations and spying, as evidenced most recently by its activities of infiltration in educational institutions across Lebanon.
Donald Steinberg
And it is here where the Zionist ball of yarn seriously and uncontrollably unravels. The Deputy Administrator of USAID is Donald Steinberg, a lifetime diplomat who has served in multiple high-level positions in the US government including, most notably, Director for African Affairs at the National Security Council (1994-95) and senior advisor to President Clinton on all African issues, as well as Principal Deputy Director of Policy Planning for the US State Department (2001-2003), where he intimately assisted Secretary of State Colin Powell with the reconstruction of occupied Afghanistan.
Steinberg is also a devoted Zionist who has played a key role in maintaining the status quos of the criminal occupations of Palestine and Kashmir through the Zionist-dominated “peace process” and its ugly sister, “conflict resolution.”
Steinberg is hated across the African continent for his role in the Rwandan Genocide, in which he advised the Jewish-run, philo-Semitic, war criminal Clinton administration to ignore the terrible bloodshed that would unfold. Steinberg now serves as Deputy President of the International Crisis Group, a mightily influential Zionist think tank founded by neoconservative hawk Morton Abramowitz and the aforementioned George Soros.
Despite his “humanitarian credentials,” it is clear from his positions and associates that Steinberg is a top rank agent of the Cultural Zionism project in Africa. And as a commander of the powerful USAID, there is no doubt that Steinberg ensures a policy that grants loans only to those groups who are willing to pursue the Zionist agenda.
Ugandan dictator Yoweri Museveni is also deeply involved with the usurping Zionist regime, hence why he receives tens of millions in aid from the Zionist-occupied United States government, which never compromises “Israeli” interests when in comes to setting up client regimes. He made his first visit to Jewish-occupied Palestine in 2003 when he met with the genocidal mass murderer Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (real name: Ariel Scheinermann) and psychotic hardliner Foreign Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (real name: Benjamin Mileikowsky) for the purpose of securing arms.
His most recent visit, in November 2011, with Netanyahu and massacrer of Qana Shimon Peres (real name: Szymon Perski), was in regards to more arms and amplification of economic aid. The meeting was organized by Rafi Eitan, the infamous former Palmach commander and Mossad operations director, who is now setting up business operations in Uganda (undoubtedly for further “Israeli” penetration) with the help of Museveni.
It must be stated that it is quite possible, nay, quite highly probable that Yoweri Museveni wouldn’t be in power today if wasn’t for the Zionist entity due to the usurping regime’s intimate involvement in the downfall of former Ugandan leader, the misunderstood and demonized Idi Amin, who reigned from 1971-1979.
Idi Amin Dada
During the opening months of his presidency, Amin had close ties with the Jewish supremacist entity, forging economic and military alliances with it. “Israeli” military advisors set up training camps for the Ugandan air force and infantry and there were routine meetings between Zionist occupation and Ugandan officials. The Zionist entity sold Amin jets, tanks and guns of all kinds, while its companies became involved in building Uganda’s infrastructure, including houses and roads. In exchange, Amin agreed to assist Zionist efforts to fragment Sudan.
“Israel” however, despite the vast involvement it already had in Uganda, was not living up to the agreements it had made with Amin and he began to look elsewhere in the region for assistance. His breakthrough came with none other than Muammar al-Qadhdhafi, the fallen Libyan leader who had been a thorn in the side of international Zionism from the very beginning of his reign. Qadhdhafi “berated” Amin for collaborating with Zionism and told him that the assistance was his as long as he promised to end his ties with the occupier of Palestine.
Amin agreed and within two weeks, he had already taken measures to remove all Zionist Jews from Uganda and began issuing calls at the UN for “Israel” to be removed as a member and for “Israelis” to be expelled from Palestine back to Britain which he (rightly) viewed as responsible for helping birth the criminal Jewish “state.” He also began actively aiding the Palestinian Resistance. Right on queue, like clockwork, the Zionist media began depicting Amin as an “anti-Semite” and “brutal dictator” who ran a “terror regime” that “murdered hundreds of thousands of Ugandans belonging to tribes that opposed” it.
It was the “Entebbe Crisis,” which lasted from June 27th, 1976 to July 4th, 1976, that ultimately led to the disintegration of Idi Amin’s regime, tarnishing his image internationally and weakening him internally. Out of the ashes of what the Zionists would call “Operation Entebbe,” President of Tanzania Julius Nyerere would take action against Idi Amin at a time when he viewed the Ugandan leader and his army as weak.
Nyerere would send 40,000 troops into the Ugandan capital of Kampala in April 1979, the culmination of three years of conflict, where the Tanzanian forces would emerge victorious and drive Amin into exile. What isn’t known about these two events, other than that they are indeed connected, is that the Zionist entity fomented and manipulated both of them.
The Entebbe Crisis began when the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) allegedly hijacked a plane in Athens and subsequently flew the plane into Entebbe; 98 persons, most of them “Israeli” Jews, were held hostage. The operation was reported worldwide as an act of terrorism, with Idi Amin being a “state sponsor of terror.” This narrative, like every other narrative of the Jewish-Zionist media, is a lie.
In truth, the hijacking was a false flag attack staged by the “Israeli” internal security service, Shin Bet (or Shabak), who had infiltrated the PFLP and planted “all sorts of wild elements” within the organization’s mix. The intention of the operation, other than to undermine Idi Amin, was to weaken the PLO in the eyes of France and the United States. The crisis came to a close when elite “Israeli” occupation commandos raided Entebbe Airport, bringing the Zionist false flag theater to its closing act and rescuing the hostages. “Israeli” Prime Minister Netanyahu’s brother, Yonatan, died during the raid.
Tanzania, led by Julius Nyerere from 1961 until his retirement in 1985, was an “Israeli” client state from the moment of its independence in 1964, establishing uninterrupted security, diplomatic and economic ties. Most recently, the Zionist entity has taken a substantial portion of control of Tanzania’s vast mining operations, with the Engelinvest mega corporation of “Israeli” money man Jacob Engel taking hold of three mines, and securing dominion over Tanzanian gold, copper, nickel and other metals.
Nyerere himself was not only an ally of the Jewish occupation regime but a devoted supporter of the Zionist cause, once ridiculously and insultingly declaring that war criminal Golda Meir (real name: Golda Mabovich) was the “mother of Africa.” Nyerere personally (and nonsensically, for that matter) believed that any enemy of the Jews (“Israel”) was an enemy of the Blacks (Africa). The relations between Tanzania and “Israel” were of a special kind and there is no doubt that this was due to the ideological veneration of Nyerere, which was highly peculiar for a Third World leader of his stature.
Amin’s heroic intransigence made his removal a prime Zionist objective in Africa, and with these revelations regarding the bond between Tanzania and Zionism now in context, there can be [no] doubt there was an “Israeli” hand in Nyerere’s crippling of Amin and his government. The Ugandan people, now being ruled by the pro-“Israel” dictator Museveni, can only wonder “what if...” in regards to what has transpired since that fateful 1976 summer in Entebbe; “what if...” Amin emerged triumphant over “Israel.”
Conclusion: Welcome To Africa, Where Zionist Tentacles Extend Throughout The Continent
On November 23rd 2010, an important story reported in the Hebrew press of the Zionist entity, then picked up by the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Press TV, revealed a rather bothersome development. A retired “Israeli” colonel by the name of Avi Sivan had died in a helicopter crash near Yaounde, the capital of the Central African nation of Cameroon. Sivan was responsible for training the Cameroonian presidential guard and was also the head of the Jewish supremacist entity’s military delegation to Cameroon.
The question was, “if the Zionist entity’s tentacles in Africa had penetrated a nation as geo-politically obscure as Cameroon, where else was it reaching?” To be blunt, the answer is, “everywhere.” On the books, the usurping Jewish regime has intelligence contacts in Eritrea, Kenya, Malawi, Zaire, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Egypt and Morocco.
Off the books, the list is even more extensive and thus, a brief but precise overview is necessary. Firstly, it must be understood that even America’s policies towards Africa, in fact, its entire geopolitical network of stratagems for the continent, are shaped by the Zionist regime itself and its plethora of think tanks. Secondly, the pestilential plan of senior “Israeli” foreign policy advisor Oded Yinon, “A Strategy For Israel In The 1980s,” a plot discussed on numerous occasions here at Mask of Zion, which features the fragmentation and dissolution of Sudan and Libya as prominent points, has been exported by the Zionist regime across the African continent.
“Yinon Africa” is being assisted by the Ugandan dictatorship of Museveni, the corrupt regime in Kenya and the longtime marionette of Zionism, Ethiopia. The objectives of “Yinon Africa” are to balkanize the continent on three lines: ethno-linguistics, skin color and religion. Additionally, the concept of a US Military Central Command in Africa (AFRICOM), was designed and promoted by the Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies (IASPS), the same Zionist think tank that produced the infamous “Clean Break” papers.
The malevolent apartheid regime of South Africa is perhaps where the Jewish supremacist entity’s ties were the strongest. In South Africa, Jews benefited and thrived under the racist regime’s protection, maintaining and strengthening their ties with the Zionist entity. The Board of Deputies of South African Jewry, a major Zionist Lobby front on the African continent, declared “neutrality” in regards to apartheid so Jewish interests weren’t compromised. The “Israeli” security establishment saw the relationship with South Africa so vital in fact that, it actually believed the ties saved the Jewish “state” from extinction.
The Zionist entity didn’t just provide a plethora of arms to the apartheid regime, it “created the South African arms industry.” Zionist occupation officers also assisted Pretoria with its operations (read: atrocities) in Angola and, from the illegal Jews-only colony of Kibbutz Beit Alfa, “Israel” developed a profitable industry selling anti-riot vehicles to the apartheid regime. Most astoundingly, Zionism provided South Africa with nuclear technology and expertise, helping it build its own miniature nuclear arsenal. Needless to say, every drop of South African blood spilled by the apartheid regime, especially in its last days, is on the hands of “Israel.”
Speaking of Angola, where the Zionist entity was active with South African forces, it should be mentioned that Angolan warlord Jonas Savimbi, the seemingly eternal darling puppet of America’s Jewish Lobby, the neoconservative establishment and “Israel,” was assassinated by Zionist special forces when he no longer served a purpose [See ‘Dogs Of War’ Ban Will Rob British Army Of Vital Front line Soldiers by Fred Bridgland and Michael Evans, The Times (UK).]
Nowhere has the usurping and criminal Zionist entity been more successful in executing destruction than Sudan, a prime target of the Yinon Plan in its past and current incarnations. Oil-rich Sudan has been cracked in half, its unity split and destroyed. The Zionist dragon’s military-intelligence apparatuses designed this balkanization, instigated it, funded the players and from Uganda to Ethiopia, it still maintains agents and assets to uphold the new fragmented Sudanese status quo. “Israel” has already entered the new, fabricated nation-state of ‘South Sudan.’
The deceptive and dangerous IsraAID, backed by Zionist Lobby organizations like the American Jewish Committee and United Jewish Appeal, is on the ground. The newly-created Zionist puppet state has opened its doors to “Israeli” companies to do business in the fields of agriculture, infrastructure, security and medicine, business worth hundreds of millions of dollars. South Sudan views this gesture as gratitude for the Zionist dragon’s committed military and intelligence support to its ‘rebellion.’ And now, to make the relationship between South Sudan and Zionism globally legitimate, full diplomatic relations have been established between the two entities so Tel Aviv can officially take control of South Sudan’s oil-rich economy.
“Israel” has been exceedingly active in Ethiopia for decades upon decades but 1990 is where relations hit new peaks. The Zionist regime fueled the Ethiopian Civil War as a testing ground for what it could do with its real enemies, Iraq, Syria and Iran. “Israel” supplied the regime of war criminal and collaborator Mengistu Haile Mariam with cluster bombs, several hundred IOF military trainers to guide the Ethiopian Army, 150,000 bolt-action rifles and an unknown number of its patented “Uzi” machine gun.
The assistance has continued under the rule of Ethiopian Prime Minister and horrific human rights abuser Meles Zenawi Asres, in power since the fall of Mariam, with the most recent development being the purchase of murderous drones from the “Israeli” firm, Bluebird.
Kenya has been dear to the heart of the Jewish “state” since its assistance to Mossad and Aman during Operation Entebbe. In late November, the Kenyan regime signed a security pact that would have “Israeli” security consultants sent to the East African nation to govern its assault against the Islamic Resistance of occupied Somalia, Al-Shabab.
The Somali Resistance assailed the Kenyan regime for the traitorous move, slamming the deal as an attack on Islam. The Zionist entity has provided Kenya with weapons in the past and this pact will significantly expand the existent ties, which is promising for “Israeli” arms firms; as usual, the innocent civilians already being butchered in the Zionist proxy war are of no concern to the Jewish “state”, considering that the civilians are of African origin and therefore “cursed” in Zionist eyes.
The “Israel”/Kenya dirty deal is already “bearing fruit,” as Kenya has allowed the usurping Jewish entity to house 5 drones in a Kenyan military base on the border with Somalia in exchange for a stash of heavy weaponry and 13 “Israeli” military advisors making their home in Kenya. The Zionist drones have illegally taken to the skies in Somalia and launched hellish missile attacks, with the latest one murdering at least 17 innocents and wounding more than 60 others.
A 53-year old IAF engineer named Hanoch Miller, who founded a defense firm called Radom Aviation which has worked with “Israeli” Aerospace Industries, has been caught attempting to smuggle weapons to the pathetic puppet regime in Somalia, which is fully complicit in the crimes against the Somali people carried out by the US-backed UN-AU occupation.
Though Miller appears to be acting independently, this is highly suspect due to his elite status in the IAF and the fact that the Zionist entity wants to establish relations with the regime. Only because of the steadfast Resistance of Al-Shabab has Somalia not been colonized, but it is indeed in the sights of the Merhav Group of “Israel,” a powerful Mossad-run consortium headed by elite Mossad agent Yosef A. Maiman that has already taken over the energy interests of occupied Afghanistan.
Muammar Gaddafi
Libyan leader Muammar al-Qadhdhafi, a revolutionary and four-decade resistor of Zionism and Western domination loved dearly by his people, is dead. In an operation led by NATO and its rebels, Qadhdhafi was sodomized and tortured before he was murdered. The invasion, which took place on the Jewish revenge holiday of Purim, like Iraq before it, was designed by the Foreign Policy Initiative (FPI), the renamed Jewish-Zionist “Cabal” once known as the Project for a New American Century, and the despicable lies of “human rights violations” and “impending genocide” used by the Zionist media to sell the invasion to the world were generated by UN Watch, a Zionist affiliate of AIPAC’s foreign policy wing, the American Jewish Committee, and headed by “Israeli” citizen Hillel Neuer.
Qadhdhafi was planning to introduce a gold dinar into the African economy for oil trade, a move that would have devastated Jewish-Zionist financial domination of the continent. The NATO rebels are not only willing to recognize the usurping Zionist regime, they are prepared to let it establish a base in eastern Cyrenaica on a 30-year lease. Qadhdhafi is spinning in his grave.
Another African revolutionary life that “Israel” ended was that of Mehdi Ben Barka, routinely described as the “Moroccan Che Guevara” and, “the Frantz Fanon of Morocco.” The Zionist entity’s Mossad kidnaped the great revolutionary theoretician and murdered him in cold blood.
"The CIA, the MOSSAD, the big mining companies, the offshore accounts and weapons deals—all hidden by the Western media. The holocaust in Central Africa has claimed some six to ten million people in Congo since 1996, with 1500 people dying daily.
But while the Africans are the victims of perpetual Holocaust, the persecutors hide behind history, complaining that they are the persecuted, or pretending they are the saviors. Who is responsible?"

Maurice Tempelsman is one of the top funders of the Democratic Party who has funded Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Templesman was the unofficial ambassador to the Congo (Zaire) for years, but a new Israeli-American tycoon has replaced him. In the world of bling bling and bling bang, some things change, some stay the same.

For Israeli-American Dan Gertler, business in blood drenched Congo is not merely business, it is a quest for the Holy Grail. Young Dan Gertler goes nowhere—does nothing—without the spiritual guidance of Brooklyn-born Rabbi Chaim Yaakov Leibovitch, a personal friend of Condoleeza Rice. Gertler and Leibovitch are two of the principals behind a diamond mining company, Emaxon Finance Corporation, involved in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Gertler and gang won the majority rights to the diamonds from the state mining company, Société Minière de Bakwange, MIBA, found near the government-controlled town of Mbuji-Mayi, the rough diamond capital of the world.

Emaxon Finance Corp. has apparently out-maneuvered diamond competitors, especially the big rivals Energem and De Beers. Energem is one of the many shady mining companies connected to Anthony Teixeira, a Portuguese born businessman now residing in South Africa whose daughter married Congolese warlord Jean-Pierre Bemba. The warlord’s deadly battle in Congo in March 2007 was a bid between rival agents—Jean-Pierre Bemba and Joseph Kabila—to be the black gatekeeper for the mining cartels run by dynastic families like Templesman, Oppenheimer, Mendell, Forrest, Blattner, Hertzov, Gertler and Steinmetz, and for companies like NIKANOR, whose stock prices rose early in July 2006 in expectation of a July 30th “win” for Joseph Kabila. Africa Confidential called President Kabila’s 2003 visit to the Bush White House a “coup” for the Israeli diamond magnates Dan Gertler and Beny Steinmetz.
Canadian-based Energem, formerly DiamondWorks, is owned by British mercenary Tony Buckingham and its director/shareholders include Mario and Tony Teixeira, J.P. Morgan, and Gertler’s partner Israeli-American Beny Steinmetz (50%). Through subsidiary Branch Energy, the Energem-DiamondWorks gang has perpetuated war in 11 African countries. In December 2007, Energem re-launched itself on the London Stock Market with the newly laundered image of a renewable energy company.
Regarding diamonds, Energem said only it “had decided to give up exploration rights in the Central African Republic.” The Energem spokesman explained that Tony Teixeira “had a clean bill of health” etc., etc. Of course, Energem “quit” the C.A.R. because Jean-Pierre Bemba marched his troops into C.A.R., where they raped and pillaged widely.
Energem is still operating in Congo, but Dan Gertler is the new, unofficial ambassador to the Congo for the George W. Bush gang. Gertler and partners like Beny and Danny Steinmetz, Nir Livnat, Chaim Leibovitz and Yaakov Neeman run a hornet’s nest of companies involved in African hotspots, including: Dan Gertler International (DGI), Steinmetz Global Resources, International Diamond Industries, NIKANOR and Global Enterprises Corporate.
Inset; Dan Gertler
“Dan Gertler is ‘the new kid on the block,’” writes Yossi Melman in Israel’s Haaretz news. “Bold, sophisticated, brutal, he is an adventurer with a short fuse.” Haaratz confirmed that Dan Gertler owns a complex network of interconnected companies, often registered in offshore tax havens and involved in India, Russia, Belgium and the United States, and that Dan Gertler is looking to God for guidance.
THOU SHALT NOT STEAL
“In the diamond industry,” Melman wrote, “Gertler is considered something of an odd bird. He maintains few ties with the other merchants and is not very sociable… Alongside his business affairs, most of his energy is channeled into matters of faith. He is a donor to religious institutions and from time to time makes a pilgrimage to the rabbi he most admires, Rabbi David Abuhatzeira, from Nahariya, in order to consult with him and receive his blessing. Gertler is surrounded mostly by religious people and laces his speech liberally with praise to God.”
In 2003, Condoleeza Rice, then Assistant to President Bush for National Security Affairs, introduced Dan Gertler and Chaim Leibovitch to U.S. official Jendayi Frazer, a Harvard Kennedy School affiliate and former National Security Council agent focused on Africa. On December 6, 2006, Frazer, then Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, was one of seven special Bush delegates sent to the inauguration of Congo’s newly installed President Joseph Kabila in Kinshasa.
In search of a meal and a place to lay their heads
When Dan Gertler and Chaim Leibovitch and their friends visit the luxury Gertler villa in Lumumbashi, the capital of Katanga, Congo’s large southern province, their kosher meals arrive by private plane from Kinshasa. The special executive jet that flies their kosher meals a few hundred miles over the roadless Congo costs some $US 23,000 per trip.
The average income for Congolese citizens each year—if they survive it—is about $95. Shootings at mining facilities and diamond mines are common, land is stolen from Congolese people, strikes are crushed by security forces that companies are partnered with, and black overseers of state terror routinely arrest and torture any vocal opposition—and sometimes disappear them—in support of white bosses. The Société Minière de Bakwange—MIBA— and the diamond fields of Mbuji-Mayi in Congo have a long history of bloodshed backed by Western powers, including Israel, from the beginning. Amnesty International points out that not a single state agent has ever been prosecuted for the extrajudicial executions of suspected “illegal” miners in Mbuji-Mayi.
On the march to nowhere
After a century of exploitation and slavery, we find MIBA consistently withholding payment of salaries to starving Congolese laborers and middle managers for months at a time. April and May 2007 saw strikes and protests leading to the Kabila government’s arbitrary arrest, detention and torture of trade union organizers like Leon Ngoy Bululu; police have also shot protestors. So-called ‘illegal’ diamond workers—disenfranchised local Congolese people forced into “criminal” activities to survive—were summarily executed on MIBA concessions in Mbuji-Mayi. MIBA security guards have also been sniping unemployed diamond miners.
Meanwhile, Dan Gertler’s kosher meals depart Kinshasa, the capital of the big Congo, through the arrangements of Rabbi Chlomo Bentolila, high priest of the Chabad of Central Africa. Rabbi Chlomo Bentolila has been a Kinshasa Rabbi since 1991, and he was a spiritual force who survived the terrorism of the old dinosaur, Mobutu Sese Seko, the way most elites did: by working with him. Rabbi Bentolila is a member of the Chabad Lubavitch Global Emissary Network, headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, and his wife Miriam is the sister of Rabbi Mena’hem Hadad, a high priest in Brussels.
“Kosher does not mean that a Rabbi blesses the food,” Rabbi Betolila corrected me, “but rather that the food was supervised by a Rabbinical Thora [sic] authority who sees that the ingredients were in accordance with the laws of Kashrut expressed in the Bible (Leviticus and Deuteronomy).”
Dan Gertler often flies people into Congo, on his private jet, for sacred Jewish rituals. For the Bar Mitsvah of Rabbi Chlomo Bentolila’s son Binyamin Avrahim in June 2005, guests included eminent Rabbis, Hassidic singer Yoni Shlomo and special orchestra Yossef Brami, all arriving in “special flights” from Israel, New York and Brussels. The reception was held at the luxurious and exclusive Memling Hotel. Joseph Kabila sent a sizeable delegation but did not attend: his closest advisers provided a blessing on his behalf.
The Gertler, Steinmetz and Templesman interests are advanced in part through the support of the Committee of the Jewish Community of Kinshasa—le Comité de la Communauté Israélite—that is tightly coordinated with the power structure in Kinshasa to exert influence and assure control of Israeli-Belgian-Anglo-American interests over the geopolitical arena.
From June 26-30, 2007, the Communaute Israelite de Kinshasa received a visit from the Israeli Ambassador Yaakov Revah, director of the Africa Department of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Revah also flew to Lumumbashi for meetings with Dan Gertler and his agents, including Moishe (Moses) Katumbi, the Governor of Katanga, and they most likely enjoyed a lovely, $23,000 kosher meal sent from the Chabad in Kinshasa. The Communaute Israelite de Kinshasa maintains very intimate political relations with President Joseph Kabila’s PPRD party, the People’s Party for Reconstruction and Democracy. On March 1, 2006, in a formal ceremony, the President of the Communaute Israelite de Kinshasa, Ashlan Piha, was awarded the Congo’s Medal of Civil Merit.
THOU SHALT NOT COVET
Before his assassination on January 16, 2001, Laurent Desire Kabila—the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)—made a deal with the Gertler gang that would play out in favor of the current President Joseph Kabila and, it seems, be a central factor in relation to both Congo’s ongoing war and the bloody warlord’s battle in Kinshasa in March 2007.
Back in 2000, former Congolese president Laurent Kabila offered a monopoly on Congolese diamonds, and 88% of the proceeds, to Gertler’s International Diamond Industries (IDI) in exchange for Israeli military assistance to his new government. Top Congolese military officials apparently flew to Israel in 2000 to negotiate the deal. Gertler pledged military assistance to President Laurent Kabila through top Israeli officials.
The original Gertler-Kabila deal fell through after Laurent Kabila was assassinated for not cooperating with the Great White Fathers of industry (January 2001), but Gertler and Leibovitch and their disciples formed another company, Dan Gertler International, and advanced their Congo plan. By 2002, Gertler’s company was the leading exporter of Congolese gems, controlling a diamond mining franchise worth about $US 1 billion annually.
In 2003, the mighty Congolese diamond parastatal Societe Miniere De Bakwanga (MIBA)—which has been forever controlled by the Great White Fathers in Belgium, Israel and America—signed an exclusive contract with Gertler’s startup company, Emaxon Finance International. The deal involved Israeli’s Foreign Defense Assistance and Defense Export Organization (SIBAT) and high-level Israeli defense and intelligence officials. Gertler and his buddies reportedly bribed Congolese officials and Angolan generals who, on and off, have commanded Angolan Army troops protecting Kinshasa, Congo’s capital.
Congolese mercenary for corporate hire
Security for mining operations in Congo is provided by exclusive security companies like Overseas Security Services (OSS) one of the many DRC interests of Belgian billionaire tycoon Philippe de Moerloose. A member of the Kinshasa elite, de Moerloose supplies jets and other presidential toys to DRC President Kabila. In 2006, President Joseph Kabila’s campaign helicopter was at the centre of a legal battle involving Philippe de Moerloose. De Moerloose’s companies operated in Mobutu’s Zaire from at least 1991, backing state terrorism and Western corporate plunder that was rendered invisible by the Western media. De Moerloose is also an adviser to European Union (EU) Commissioner—and diamantaire—Louis Michel.
Dan Gertler and Philippe de Moerloose were, reportedly, the only two white men who attended the wedding of Joseph Kabila and the two clearly share interests in “security” provided by OSS at MIBA and elsewhere in Congo. The April 2003 secret agreement signed between the Gertler/Steinmetz company Emaxon Finance and the Kabila government involved MIBA and two de Moerloose companies, OSS-Congo and Demimpex, and other firms.
Overseas Security Services (OSS) operations are apparently grounded in the experience of top expatriate security operatives formerly involved with the biggest security firm in Mobutu’s Zaire. According to OSS public relations materials, “these persons have a not unimportant experience in the safety of this country.” Providing mine security, body-guard and protection services, OSS operates in Burundi, Ivory Coast, Rwanda, Dubai, South Africa, Republic of Congo (Brazzavile) and Belgium, placing them in cahoots with all sides warring and plundering eastern Congo today.
Emaxon Finance International is a real gem, one of these octopuses of mining tangled up with interlocking companies and subsidiaries based in specious geographical offshore “tax havens” that work to shield from prosecution people who are responsible for money laundering, weapons and drugs operations, assassinations and other terrorism.
NIKANOR is registered as an Isle of Man (UK) company, an offshore tax haven that helps to conceal criminal activities and maximize profits. NIKANOR directors include Dan Kurtzer, former U.S. ambassador to Israel (2001-2005) and Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Intelligence and Research under Madeleine Albright. NIKANOR partners include Mende and Moshe Gertner [sic], Israeli property tycoons with vast holdings in London who control 22 percent of NIKANOR. Another partner is Israeli-born Nir Livnat, managing director of Johannesburg-based Ascot Diamonds, a member of the Steinmetz Group of Diamond Companies, and a principal involved in numerous U.S.-based businesses from Miami to New York.
