NGOs, Politics, and More

what about soros?

As the saying goes: "Don't shoot the messenger."
http://actforamerica.wordpress.com/2011/10/16/why-u-s-military-in-uganda-soros-fingerprints-are-all-over-it/
A 2008 national oil and gas policy, proposed with aid from a Soros-funded group, was supposed to be a general road map for the handling and use of the oil. However, the policy’s recommendations have been largely ignored, with critics accusing Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni of corruption and of tightening his grip on the African country’s emerging oil sector.
Soros himself has been closely tied to oil and other interests in Uganda.
In 2008, the Soros-funded Revenue Watch Institute brought together stakeholders from Uganda and other East African countries to discuss critical governance issues, including the formation of what became Uganda’s national oil and gas policy.
Also in 2008, the Africa Institute for Energy Governance, a grantee of the Soros-funded Revenue Watch, helped established the Publish What You Pay Coalition of Uganda, or PWYP, which was purportedly launched to coordinate and streamline the efforts of the government in promoting transparency and accountability in the oil sector.
Also, a steering committee was formed for PWYP Uganda to develop an agenda for implementing the oil advocacy initiatives and a constitution to guide PWYP’s oil work.
PWYP has since 2006 hosted a number of training workshops in Uganda purportedly to promote contract transparency in Uganda’s oil sector.
PWYP is directly funded by Soros’ Open Society as well as the the Soros-funded Revenue Watch Institute. PWYP international is actually hosted by the Open Society Foundation in London.
The billionaire’s Open Society Institute, meanwhile, runs numerous offices in Uganda. It maintains a country manager in Uganda, as well as the Open Society Initiative for East Africa, which supports work in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
The Open Society Institute runs a Ugandan Youth Action Fund, which states its mission is to “identify, inspire, and support small groups of dedicated young people who can mobilize and influence large numbers of their peers to promote open society ideals.”
Soros group: Send military advisors to Uganda
In April 2010 Soros’ International Crisis Group, or ICG, released a report sent to the White House and key lawmakers advising the U.S. military run special operations in Uganda to seek Kony’s capture:
http://www.crisisgroup.org/en/regions/africa/horn-of-africa/uganda/157-lra-a-regional-strategy-beyond-killing-kony.aspx
The report states, “To the U.S. government: Deploy a team to the theatre of operations to run an intelligence platform that centralizes all operational information from the Ugandan and other armies, as well as the U.N. and civilian networks, and provides analysis to the Ugandans to better target military operations.”
Since 2008 the U.S. has been providing financial aid in the form of military equipment to Uganda and the other regional countries to fight Kony’s LRA, but Obama’s new deployment escalates the direct U.S. involvement.
Soros sits in the ICG’s executive board along with Samuel Berger, Bill Clinton’s former national security advisor; George J. Mitchell, former U.S. Senate Majority Leader who served as a Mideast envoy to both Obama and President Bush; and Javier Solana, a socialist activist who is NATO’s former secretary-general as well as the former foreign affairs minister of Spain.
Jimmy Carter’s national security advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, is the ICG’s senior advisor.
The ICG’s president emeritus is Gareth Evans, who, together with activist Ramesh Thakur, is the original founder of the Responsibility to Protect doctrine, with the duo even coining the term “responsibility to protect.”
Both Evans and Thakur serve as advisory board members of the Global Center for the Responsibility to Protect, the main group pushing the doctrine.
As WND first exposed, Soros is a primary funder and key proponent of the Global Centre for Responsibility to Protect:

Soros’ Open Society is one of only three nongovernmental funders of the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect. Government sponsors include Australia, Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands, Norway, Rwanda and the U.K.

More evidence Kony 2012 is

More evidence Kony 2012 is phony:
A Ugandan high school student made You Tube video disputing US Kony propaganda.  Check her out at www.youtube.com/user/slubogo
FYI on another news item:
Dr. James Petras, frequent contributor to indy sites such as counterpunch, was on 3/15/12 Progressive Radio News Hour (progressiveradionetwork.com, click on show name under Archives to access).  Petras reports that the lone GI gone postal on Afghan villagers story may be inaccurate.  Villagers report seeing several GIs laughing and shooting during the massacre.  The village was under watch of Special Forces who had previously confiscated weapons of male inhabitants and/or arrested them.  This would explain why men didn't defend against the GI onslaught.

As I have clearly shown White supremacy has existed in many places in the world without Zionism and it has been practiced by many Whites who have no use for, or love of, or any relationship with Jews or Judaism or Zionists. The oppression my family experienced in Jim Crow America was not orchestrated by an invisible all powerful Zionist cabal. Our oppressors were devout White Christians who represented many "mainstream" denominations. Because many if not most Jews identify themselves as White Westerners, when it suits them, it has been easy for them to jump on the White supremacist bandwagon just as Irish, Italians, Russians, etc. etc.etc. have done. If Zionism was to magically disappear tomorrow, White supremacy would still be alive and well, and it would still be killing and oppressing Black people here and elsewhere in the world. Meanwhile, the same people who used Zionism as an excuse to avoid taking the power and the reality of race and racism seriously would try to displace the blame for the ongoing situation to  other causes such as "class" or "human nature."

why are white men & women soooo jealous??!!! Well let me enlighten you...It hurts to know that you don't look like God, huh? That jealously you feel in the pit of your stomach is directly related to the strength of God and you feel it everytime you gaze upon a BLACK man or woman. Our presence is Angelic because we were created in his image. If I were you I'd be jealous too!

WHITE SUPREMACY TRUMPS ZIONISM

For at least 500 years the Western European agenda in Africa has been to exploit and to control the people and the natural resources of the entire continent. While it is true that some of the White invaders/oppressors were (and are) Jews, or Zionists, or even Israeli sympathizers,  many more have been (and are) mainstream Christian capitalists. Neither the Belgians, the Portuguese, nor the Rhodesians were noted for their love of Jews or of Zionism. All of them were White supremacists, and the colonies which they imposed on Black Africans reflected it.  Most Afrikaners were German sympathizers during WWI and Nazi sympathizers during WWII. Because of this, there was a near civil war between Afrikaners and English speaking Whites during that time. The relationship between racist Whites in Africa and Zionist Israel wasn't a love affair. It was all about two White Western minorities marooned by their own racist policies coming together and pooling their resources in order to help each other to remain in power and in control by keeping the oppression going. If the ANC wasn't completely submissive to White interests within South Africa and in the West, they would long ago have released all of the documents exposing how Israel, the United States and other freedom-loving Western governments actively supported the apartheid regime for decades. Instead, the ANC remains cuddly with Israel, preferring to spend what little remains of its moral capital, banning and silencing Black critics, and slavishly serving the West's neo liberal agenda. I'm not saying that Zionism doesn't exist or that it is a benign ideology. What I am saying is that, when one compares the two, White supremacy is the biggest killer and oppressor of Blacks in history, and,  for most of that time, it has been practiced without any aid from Zionists.

AFRICAN ILLITERACY TEST

I think that all wannabe White Western do-gooders should be required to take and to pass a basic competency test consisting of 50 to 100 questions, including multiple choice questions and at least one essay before they are allowed to speak on African issues, let alone take up any crusades in Africa.
1. Find Africa on a globe.
2. Name the capital of Africa.
3. Name two African presidents. Note: Nelson Mandela and Idi Amin don't count.
4. When was Africa decolonized? Note: this may be a trick question depending on a student's understanding of the term "colonized."
5. Name three or more raw materials which the West and the rest of the world import in bulk from Africa. Note: pick items other than diamonds, oil, or gold.
6. Name three or more indigenous African languages.
6a. Extra credit. Where are the languages spoken?
7. Describe in detail the belief systems and rituals of two or more indigenuos African religions.
8. Essay. In 300 words or less explain why you believe that your involvement in Africa is necessary and why you believe that your intervention that it will cause more good than harm.
