Amin the "ape," people-eating blacks: Richard Nixon's Africa
FPF: IF THERE IS ANYBODY OUTSIDE OF THE US WHO THINKS THAT THE
PEOPLE MANAGING THE POWER RIGHT NOW VIA THE US THINK OTHERWISE
ABOUT YOU: FORGET IT! - YOU ARE EITHER PROFITABLE, OR DON'T
EXIST.*
Especially - and I have worked enough years in Africa to know it
- since Idi Amin was a CIA-product which became - like bin Laden
as usual - a 'blowback'. - [

The TV-film of the 'Western' white and short trousered
'businessmen' in the 'Business Club' in Uganda's capital
Kampala, is never shown again, since the people - owning the
media where it could be shown - were all involved. It was a
disgrace for humanity to see all those greedy trade slaves
drunkenly carrying 'Amin the Cannibal' around in a chair.
And they were all there: US, UK, Israeli, German, French, Dutch,
Asian and all other crooks: the top fifty on the list of
profiteers. All Africa 'old hands' know it, and most editors
too. They all know that now Uganda is stillin the firm hands of
the US companies thanks to Ugandan president Musaveni's
collaboration. All mainstream media shut up about it, and are
logically guilty by association. Like anybody else right now:
all the cowards which shut up about Iraq and the legallity of
it.
The US/UN invasion of Sudan's oil fields - with media fakes and
the cover up by the UN so called 'peace troops' - got under way,
when the man who wanted indepence and a fair share for the
people in Sudan where the oil was, political leader John Garang,
suddenly fell out of the sky. Garang and his close collaborators
thought they were flying home above the thousand lakes and
lushly green hilltops, after saying farewell to Musaveni and his
'spooks' in Kampala. [

- Garang, as ordered, never made it home; he did not fit the
neocon picture.
I remember Musaveni telling me in Stockholm, Sweden, when I
interviewed him there 20 years ago, that he wanted 'the Swedish
model', meaning some form of democratic statehood. Not the
'Swedish Model', with two neocon families - Wallenberg and
Bonnier - running the image/matrix of the country. The same
media system by the way as we are subjected to in most of our
'western' countries. Who for instance knows what the US and
allies did in Rwanda? And what for? - Url.:

THE NAKED APES
Have a look how we, as Desmond Morris called us correctly ''the
naked apes'' [

are doing, and never forget: we in the so called 'developed
countries' blame the people we have have maltreated for
centuries for not being able to do what we have denied them to
learn.
World news Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, at the globally
broadcasted White House press conference about Libby, a court
case that actually is about the genocidal behavior of the US
neocons - without understanding what impact this has in so
called Third World coutries, the victims of the IMF, World Bank
etc. Fitzgerald said : "The guy who shined my shoes today told
me...
It's no wonder that hardly anyone among African-Americans in a
recently published poll trusts the US government with Bush and
his advisers: too many of them have to shine shoes to stay
alive. Guess how many are trying to survive on less than ONE
dollar a day? Only TWO percent said they approved of Bush
performance as president, the lowest level ever recorded in that
category, NBC television reported. [

Amin the "ape," people-eating blacks: Richard Nixon's Africa
Agence France Presse - Oct 27th - 2005 - Former president
Richard Nixon considered Ugandan dictator Idi Amin an "ape" and
mistrusted his own State Department as "always on the side of
the blacks," according to documents made public this week.
The once-classified documents show Nixon and his national
security adviser Henry Kissinger in raw form in dealing with
African crises in 1972, including Uganda's mass expulsion of
Asians and genocide in Burundi.
But for all of the rough language, the transcripts of phone
conversations and other texts highlight the US reluctance to
take a stand on atrocities committed by Amin's regime until US
citizens were threatened.
And Kissinger made clear Washington's refusal to respond to the
plight of tens of thousands of Asians expelled by Amin until
after the November 7, 1972 US election that gave Nixon a second
term.
In private, both Nixon and Kissinger showed unvarnished contempt
for many of the players in Africa, from Amin to US State
Department diplomats.
"Isn't it awful though... that this goddamn guy at the head of
Uganda, Henry, is an ape," Nixon told Kissinger by telephone
from his retreat at Camp David on September 24, 1972.
"He's an ape without education," Kissinger replied.
"He's a prehistoric monster," Nixon later chimed in.
Nixon thought little more of Kwame Nkrumah, the late father of
Ghanaian independence and champion of the pan-African movement
whom he dismissed as "that asshole."
The Republican leader went apoplectic when he learned his State
Department was balking at providing assistance for thousands of
Britons stranded and fearing massacre in Uganda.
"Screw State!" Nixon bellowed. "State's always on the side of
the blacks. The hell with them!"
But 10 days earlier, in a meeting at the White House, Kissinger
had little to say to a senior British delegation looking for
help to resettle some of the Indians and Pakistanis brutally
chased out of Amin's country.
"I believe we are looking to see if we can take any (action) but
I am confident that we cannot take enough to help your problem,"
he said. "We are eager to avoid this issue before November 7."
A November 1, 1972 memorandum from Kissinger to Nixon stated
bluntly that US interests in Uganda were limited to protecting
American citizens and barring the Russians from having a free
hand.
The pair were also left fulminating and frustrated by the 1972
slaughter of an estimated 150,000-200,000 Hutus in an outbreak
of tribal violence in Burundi.
"I'm getting tired of this business of letting these Africans
eat a hundred thousand people and do nothing about it," Nixon
fumed in the September 24 phone call.
Kissinger, who was to win a Nobel Peace Prize [Yes, but - FPF-
Url.:
http://tinyurl.com/cyvfm] the next year for negotiating a
ceasefire in the Vietnam War, endorsed the show of compassion
that confounded "these bleeding hearts in this country who like
to say we kill yellow people."
In the end, the United States did not do much more in Burundi
than try to whip up international pressure to stop the killing,
recall the US ambassador for consultations and provide 150,000
dollars in relief aid.
Nixon resigned the presidency in 1974 amid the Watergate scandal
and died in 1994.
