I’ve also posted this blog entry on my blog: http://www.theparadigmshiftshere.com
I'm sure you're all familiar with the sensational 'war' declared by the wealthy and the mighty on the pirates (mostly) from 'Somalia'...if you're not, view THIS article for the big 'spin' served to you courtesy of massive sponsorship by some very wealthy 'special-interest' groups...
Now for 'a' truth about the matter...
In mid-November 2008, Somali pirates seized a Saudi oil tanker carrying 2 million barrels of crude oil and demanded a $25 million ransom for its release.
There was an outrage - the international press and leadership united in a predictably hysterical and racist response, with outraged cries at the 'lawless Somali coast' besieged by 'pirates' and their 'growing audacity'...
In any case, the EU got all their greatest minds together and conceived 'Operation Atlanta' - which basically now has six warships and three maritime reconnaissance aircraft patrolling those 'dangerous' waters...(the waters are dangerous indeed as I will explain in this rant - but dangerous for a whole different set of reasons than those spun for your consumption)...of course the great US of A, India, Malaysia, and Russia happily supported this initiative by generously maintaining presence in the area with a solid 10 warships just waiting to nuke those rogues out of existence.
Here's what your local news channel's sponsors will never allow them to tell you...
Normal, simple, (otherwise) peaceful Somali fishermen began arming themselves in late 2005, and have since taken to acts of piracy...
WHAT???
WHY???
...remember that 2005 tsunami?...after the tsunami was done with its destruction and damage, tons of radioactive waste and toxic chemicals from the sea bed off Somalia were dislodged by monster waves onto Somali beaches and areas occupied by human beings...
...tens of thousands immediately fell ill, while at least 300 deaths directly linked to this have been officially recorded...
...a subsequent UN investigation into the matter revealed that European companies had been dumping a lethal cocktail of uranium, heavy metals, industrial, chemical and even hospital waste by the shipload since the early 1990s. They noted "reports from villagers of a wide range of medical problems such as mouth bleeds, abdominal hemorrhages, unusual skin disorders and breathing difficulties".
...these companies took advantage of the Somali civil war in 1991-1992 and the following UN and US occupations of the mid-1990s to use the Somali waters as dumping grounds for their toxic waste - after all there was no stability in that country and no-one was really out there protecting the interests of innocent Somalis - everyone was busy fighting (or escaping from) a war...
"...Somebody is dumping nuclear material here. There is also lead, and heavy metals such as cadmium and mercury – you name it...there has been no clean-up, no compensation, and no prevention..." - Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah, the UN envoy to Somalia
Oh Yes!...absolutely NOTHING is being done about it - despite the evidence uncovered - in fact the UN investigation was mysteriously dropped without ANY explanation; and, of course, there has been no compensation and no clean up. Worse still, the dumping of toxic waste continues...
...after all, most of our international community of 'leaders' comprises scared goats, idiots, and corrupt selfish puppets - and as long as their seafood doesn't ship from Somalia, they don't care...
...according to some reports (and I've been unable to verify their authenticity, so I'll leave it on as digestible with a 'pinch of salt'), the 'contract' for taking care of Europe's toxic waste is with the outfit run by the 'Camorra' of Napoli - the Italian mafiosi who have recently been in the limelight courtesy of Robert Saviano's expose 'Gomorra' - who ironically manage most of Europe's waste disposal...enough said...
...I know I had mentioned turning a new 'empathetic' leaf in my last post - and I am struggling to stay that way - for this rant though, that is out the door - I can't express myself any other way - sorry to disappoint...well, not really sorry for refusing to sugar coat how I feel...
...I digress...
...enter some really brave (some might call them stupid - I call them gutsy) ticked off Somali fisherman who have had ENOUGH of unknown mighty powers screwing them for years without anyone helping or protecting them or anyone even concerned about their children and families developing horrendous ailments and diseases courtesy of all the toxic stuff in their system...
...so these poor souls, out of the desperate need to protect themselves and their families, began arming themselves and started patrolling their waters as unofficial 'coast guards' - in the best way that they knew how, they started tackling the polluters and those foreigners who took advantage of un-policed waters to 'steal' shiploads of seafood from them - they seized cargo vessels, luxury cruise liners, tuna fishing boats - and demanded ransom for their return - probably thinking that their actions would not only keep unwanted elements out of their water out of fear, but also that the 'ransom' they collected was 'compensation' for the continued abuse they endured at the hands of the wealthy nations out there...
Januna Ali Jama, a pirate leader, justified the ransom demand of £5.4 million for a Ukrainian ship as follows: "...The Somali coastline has been destroyed. We believe this money is nothing compared to the devastation that we have seen on the seas..."
Another pirate leader, Sugule Ali said in a phone interview: "...We don't consider ourselves sea bandits. We consider sea bandits [to be] those who illegally fish and dump in our seas..."
Today, our fearless, mighty, and wealthy 'warriors', engaged in the 'war against piracy', are indiscriminately sinking ANY Somali fishing boat that floats anywhere near a cargo vessel or trawler - their objective is to protect the polluters and plunderers of this planet from attack by those seeking to protect their families from destruction...
I will note again, that a small number of rogue elements have taken to the sea to 'terrorize' for profit and out of greed - so not all pirates are really out there to defend themselves from the toxic waste off-loaders - but, if there was no dumping of waste and plundering of resources, then there would be no need for common, ordinary citizens to take on the responsibility of policing their waters - and if those 'legitimate' defenders are no longer in the mix, these rogues would be pretty easy to identify and catch...
...it's common sense as far as I am concerned...
...sadly though, we choose instead to nuke the innocent for the protection of the rogues dumping toxic waste into African waters and robbing them of an existence...
...forget the 'god-forsaken-toxic-waste-DNA-carrying-Somali' for a moment...we have no time to think about how we're going to protect those 3000 children that die every single day courtesy of a very curable disease called malaria (CLICK HERE) - and we have no desire to send our brave and fearless warriors on the 'war against slavery' where 27 million people are estimated to be enslaved and are traded in slave markets like common inanimate goods just about everywhere on this planet in this day and age (CLICK HERE)...
...I chuckle when I read, time and again, in the puppet mainstream media about the growing 'audacity' of the 'pirates' - if these corrupt slaves of sponsorship dollars only took a moment to reflect on the 'audacity' of their own 'hypocrisy'- just one brief moment - you and I would be living in a much better world...
