this was a very interesting read. troubling as well.
Yes, it is disturbing, while being quite detailed.
The thing is, since the Iranian "Revolution", the US government has supported these "Jihadists" movements, covertly, while supplying arms to the zionist state of Israel, overtly.
It has created its own "arms race" and extended the conflict into Africa.
What we find with the earlier depositions and/or murders of Nkrumah, Ben Bella, Tom Mboya, Patrice Lumumba, Amilcar Cabral and Eduardo Mondlane, the us/CIA has funded Nationlists within these movements and conservative "Jihadists" to thwart the advance of "Communism" in Africa.
This "jockeying" continues today with a power struggle between the Chinese and the US.
If one traces carefully the steps leading to this dichotomy one finds that within the PanAfrican Nationalist movement, which was heavily influenced by Marxism, especially at the 1945 congress, there became "factionalism" between the Maoists, Leninists and Trotskyites, and Nkrumah was considered a "marxist" who was outmaneuvered by the anti-Communists within the CPP.
Part of the problem though is that he surrounded himself by people such as James and Padmore, who were at different points Communists, who later renounced their PARTY affiliation, yet retaining the ideological viewpoints of certain Communists who renounced "Stalinism".
Tioday, what we have are remnants of the Maoists (such as Mugabe's ZANU) and Trotskyites and Leninists (ANC, MPLA, SWAPO). These are the leading socialist countries in Africa.
Notice how most of the "Jihadist" influennced countries, many of which have been associated with "Pan-Arabism" are also military-stated Dictatorships, which either were at one point, or which presently are, supported by us imperilism.
In fact, many of the "Jihadists" were put into power by the CIA, or were military client states.
taliban in akghanistan....used by us to end communist rule and soviet "domination.
islamic brotherhood.....used by us in iran to suppress tudeh party and oipfg during irnian revolution.
sadaam hussein.....and iraqi ba'th party....used by us to wage war aginst iranian revolution while cusing party split from syria.
and the us support for siad barre, jaafir nimieri, idi amin, joseph mobutu are too well documented.
the us has also used minority islamic-based military rulers to suppress revolution in egypt, algeria, mali, chad, nigeria and ghana. All of which had began to emerge from colonialism as socialist states, all of which have been undermined by islamic nationalism and "pan-arabism", which is anti-Communist at its core.
Notice how dude here is more vocally anti-communist (Those "godless Communists!") than Pat Rbertson and Bill O'reilly! LOL!
Speaking of "pigs"...!
