In this case, nothing I could possibly say in this thread would convince anybody. People that read stuff must take it as suggestions for further research. I did, and still do...

Btw—little known fact here in the US but well known among African leadership.

The CIA’s documents about the Lumumba assassination in the Congo in 1961 remain classified.

The Africans know who did it.

"Afghanistan: “Thanks for all the free stuff...now get lost”

Iraq: “Thanks for all the free stuff...now get lost”

Ukraine: “Need more free stuff”

Niger “Thanks for all the free stuff...now get lost”
