TAKING WHAT RIGHTFULLY IS YOURS...

No one knows for certain, what the approximate population in Africa is, in a continent where quite frankly life is considered cheaper than a materialistic icon the such of any German saloon car for instance.

But one thing I can assure you as an African. The tide is slowly turning.

Today Africa can boast of large, ever growing, educated, vibrant, passionate, proud, and talented younger generations, who have learned by virtue of war, famine, poverty, and early death, not to fall for the same sorry ass excuses their parents fell for in the sixties, seventies, and eighties, in order to justify their lazy, cowardly lack of approach at fighting for what was and is duly theirs, as they passively watched foreigners install puppets in order for these same foreigners to reap what they never sowed, and never will!

Obviously it is common knowledge, that these foreigners simply did not breeze into our vastly wealthy continent with little or if at all, any cash, in order to decades, centuries later, reap billions, trillions, quadrillions, from a continent they labelled as "The dark continent " as if off away on a walk, from their middle classed, suburban houses on a sunny, pleasant afternoon in their own respective countries. The complicity was clearly spear headed by their gruesome, capitalistic barbaric master plan, which included assassinating great African patriots, in the fifties, sixties, seventies, and eighties, thus installing rusty puppets of no human or essential value, so that their master plan of raping Africa dry, could be executed, as it has been, and will continue for some time to come.

But we need to truly and objectively look at " the dark continent" as intelligent, non greedy, cultured, and visionary people this globe over, have been doing for decades; that you can never oppress a people, today estimated at a little bit over 300 million with the numbers impressively rising, for evermore.  No matter how many sold out puppets you keep installing in the "the dark continent". The light has finally fallen upon Africa, no thanks to the greedy bastards, and pathetic fools who enslaved Africa in benefit of their own private, and personal gains, but fundamentally due to the endless resilience of Africans, and Africa alone!

I am pleased as a middle aged African, to see the generations following mine, understand, that they simply must take their destiny into their own hands, and must not wait around for hand outs that they know only too well, they will never see. The greedy global bastards that roam this vast planet, like blood thirsty vampires, with their bitten, and smitten installed puppets, who are only too happy to drink down African economies, with the aid of  a vile French drink commonly known as champagne, most definitely have their satanic days numbered to end.

Yes, it won't take too much longer now, as we Africans have awaited for our liberation from the satanic foes for centuries, and we know now, as all indicators point out, economic, spiritual, and every other wise, that now it's just a question of years. The younger African generations of today  are now thankfully connected to the same technology the greedy bastards use in their luxurious offices world over. This essentially only goes to reinforce the message behind the feeble, that the mad professor who conceived the monster,  ultimately gets eaten by his own conception. Believe  you me, it is very very encouraging to the African generations marching on behind, that look forward to being them doing all the eating with all their heart and mind, as opposed to being left the only other inevitable option of being eaten. My advise quite frankly on this issue is "get as hungry as you possibly can young Africans, as hungry as you possibly can".

BROTHER WHERE ARE WE BOUND (SUPERTRAMP SONG)

In the photograph our future...

I we could all have the slightest of dignity, to be truthful to ourselves, then in the minimum we must simply admit that it's a very ugly world we live in. When even at a time of global financial crisis, the wealthy keep amassing hundreds of billions of dollars world over, and the poor who were already poor, struggling for a meal a day, now may have to content with half a meal a day, if that isn't simply ugly dirty or deplorable, someone please tell me what it is?

Capitalism, has clearly become an exclusive legacy, only for those who can access money; be it by inheritance, having access to money legally or illegally, today it does not matter, or by simply being an overzealous greedy moron, etc, etc, etc. The bottom line is that money, purely and simply is what it is money. Those minorities who are favored to get clean money by using up personal contacts, having a special relationship with their bank managers, etc, etc, etc can at least if only for a few years sleep really well through the peaceful night. Those that don't, just simply have to slave their lives away, just to keep up with the bills which keep increasing annually. And then you get the other faction of sapiens, who simply will take the money by any means necessary, including governments of nations who have trillion of dollars in cash flow anyway, using legal or illegal forms of transactions, it simply, no longer, matters to them anyway. The Animal must survive in the jungle. Survival of the fittest, being the first concrete rule of jungle law.

It is a shame, that some top banks all over the world, collect annual returns of billions of dollars from
illicit sources, terrorists, drug barons, heads of states in developing countries, and the list of characters is too long to mention, using the same banks, who with massive turn over, can afford to  lend legitimately to "supposedly"non corrupt, civilized countries.

And as quadrillions of dollars circulate around our world every year, the majority of the global population  still struggle to get just one decent meal a day.

Surely their must be a solution, or we are simply are all, bloody stupid, as the british love to say. And whilst the supposed financial "Einstein's" in this our planet, try to get  their brains to function, many times over a bottle of expensive  french cognac, thousands of souls perish every day, failing to secure a little slice of bread to eat.

 Now you assholes "politicians" go home to your comfortable, lavish homes, with your fridge, packed with food, drinks, and wines, and try to figure this one out!

FIFTY YEARS OF SUPPOSED AFRICAN UNITY....

As celebrations are under way to commemorate fifty years of The Organization For African Unity, OAU, now known as AU, African Unity, many questions still abound.

Fact! 60 per cent of untouched arable land in the world remains in Africa. Fact! Africa is the zone that offers the largest investment returns in the world! Fact! Consumer expenditure is projected to grow in Africa from 600 billion US Dollars in 2010, to 1 Trillion US Dollars in 2020. Fact! 40% of Africa's current population is under 35, yet steady employment stands at only about 30% over all. Although the potential opportunities are far greater than any other continent, as natural wealth is found in most of the 53 African countries, foreign investment has increased 90% since the 70's, and so has infrastructure, although this is yet to trickle down to the man and the woman in the streets.

The OAU, although it's founding members intended to be a pan -africanist organization, defending the principle that what is good for one nation will be good to its neighbor and so on; is still plagued with strong nationalist sentiments, many leaders, still preferring to adhere directly more to their people and culture, than to one generally accepted modi operandi. Easy nationalism wins internal elections.


It has taken 50 years to overcome quite a few problems, even though many still persist, the occasional armed conflict, famine, out of control corruption, tribalism, to mention just a few still ponder the magical land.

Surely to embrace one Africa, with one common goal, a clear common path, to undergo common sense objectives, such as triplicating trade within ourselves by facilitating the crossing of goods, and people within our borders, so our economies can become far more dynamic and unified,  constructing an african inter state highway or african inter state rail road line,  can only be seen as the obvious, and beneficial to africans and beyond , and one does not have to have a university degree to see this.
It is a dire shame many of our leaders or so called leaders are yet to see the light. But it is absolutely imperative for our survival, not only for Africa's survival, but beyond; that those given the opportunity to change the course of Africa  begin to see the larger picture as a hole, side line their personal selfish interests, and see down the line, that they simply are obligated and not by choice, to leave a positive legacy, if only for their immediate generations to come. let the next fifty years establish Africa as powerful, respectful, continent, where most of it's people are at least minimally taken care of, where the private sector has boomed tenfold thus creating millions of much needed jobs,  and I look forward to the day my children can take the train from Tunisia all the way down to South Africa, or drive down the highway safely, without having to board an aircraft.Then Africa will no longer be whispered as africa but roar as it should AFRIKA!!!

THIS PHOTO SUMMARIZES THE NEW RICH AFRICA.....

A brand new porsche driving down, a dusty, narrow little African road. This image, helps to capture the new wave of "New Rich Africans", multiplying in number annually, as if  almost an out of control plague. You buy a 100,000 dollar sports car and drive it on a road filled with pot holes, just to say "I can buy one". You buy a twenty million dollar private jet, and land it in some hopelessly ill maintained runway, praying you will land safely, and live another day.
You build a seven room mansion, without any running water, embarrassing your guests when they need to use the guest toilet. And so the new rich, show up, delivering what I summarize the half deliverables, in the ever quest to prove "I can buy, I can have." maybe to their immediate neighbors living in hellish slums. Long gone are the days, that a sincere display of sheer common sense, and intelligence, was enough to do the trick! As the song goes.... " O Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz, all my friends drive Porsches and I must make mends".....

TRUTH RETURNS TO AMERICAN FILMS!

Big thumb up for ARGO the film, it shows, that not only inter governmental co-operation can save lives, but that the iranian people just didn't get up one morning, and started hating americans. The american government, prior to the revolution, had installed a puppet, blood thirsty, money spending, playboy, Shah, whose secret police killed thousands of people, in order for him to remain in power. The truth is always sweeter when both sides of the story, are revealed!

AFRICA TODAY

What goes round comes round. An interesting westernized point of view. Source: Yahoo news.
Half a century ago, Africa echoed with the sound of anti-colonial liberation. Today, 10 years of dramatic and sustained economic growth and a growing political maturity coinciding with the economic meltdown in the West and political dysfunction in Washington and Europe, has granted Africa’s leaders the authority and means to once again challenge Western intervention on the continent, whether it comes in the form of foreign diplomatic pressure, foreign aid, foreign rights monitors or even foreign correspondents

WHAT'S THE CATCH THIS TIME!!!

Terrorists are destructive people mostly with out any fundamental political agenda? True. Terrorists pray on weak, impoverished, hungry people to be able to harness and recruit new members for their endless crusade of destruction? True! Mali became a new breeding ground for these faceless, mosquito type of beings, to perpetuate more recruitment, through more destruction? True.

Is any European or well positioned western power,  going to spend millions of Euros at a time when Europe is facing, a serious financial melt down, without having some form of tangible, physical interest in a small dried up territory that does not produce nothing in quantity but dust? No.

Stabilizing Mali, for the French government, means stabilizing Mali's immediate neighboring borders, which include Senegal, and France's Africa's golden apple Ivory Coast, just to mention a few, that possess more tangible, physical interests, than a dried up desert, where predominantly flies, dust, and poverty are more representative, than ivory, precious stones, cocoa, potential oil reserves, and the list goes on, and on...
