Guess the govt. cracked down.
Where's Tarzan when you need him?
We should all be celebrating diversity instead of being so judgemental.
I suspect that the real reason this article fills so many of us with revulsion is simple racism.
Through sixty-six and seven they fought the Congo war With their fingers on their triggers, knee-deep in gore For days and nights they battled the Bantu to their knees They killed to earn their living and to help out the Congolese
Roland the Thompson gunner...
His comrades fought beside him - Van Owen and the rest But of all the Thompson gunners, Roland was the best So the CIA decided they wanted Roland dead That son-of-a-bitch Van Owen blew off Roland's head
Roland the headless Thompson gunner Norway's bravest son Time, time, time For another peaceful war But time stands still for Roland 'Til he evens up the score They can still see his headless body stalking through the night In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun
Roland searched the continent for the man who'd done him in He found him in Mombassa in a barroom drinking gin Roland aimed his Thompson gun - he didn't say a word But he blew Van Owen's body from there to Johannesburg
Roland the headless Thompson gunner... The eternal Thompson gunner still wandering through the night Now it's ten years later but he still keeps up the fight In Ireland, in Lebanon, in Palestine and Berkeley Patty Hearst heard the burst of Roland's Thompson gun and bought it
You know the saying that in every joke there is a half of truth.
In 1994, US-supplied surface to air missile downed Rwandan jet and killed Rwandan and Burundi presidents on board. As a result, Hutus of Rwanda started genocide of Tutsis. Prior to downing of the jet, CIA analysis estimated possible risk and placed death toll estimate to "anywhere between 500 and 500,000". It was 800,000. After Tutsi regime was established after the genocide, it facilitated use of Rwanda as a staging ground for attack on Congo. In Eastern Congo, rich in COLTAN, anywhere between 200,000 and 2,000,000 million were killed and Coltan is free for grabs
Kaboom....SISSSSSS . Indeed.
