Yeah....We'll celebrate veterans day, but you celebrate your vets and we'll celebrate ours. There are many I could choose. The courageous women and men of the Black Panther Party, Convention People's Party, Congolese National Movement, Democratic Party of Guinea, African Party for the Independence of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde, Pan-Africanist Congress of Azania, South Africa, Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, Universal Negro Improvement Association, American Indian Movement, etc......Their all worthy and they are to be honored, but for this post we'll select the Land and Freedom Movement, or what is properly called the "Mau Mau" movement. Founded around 1953 in Kenya by Fred Butau, Dedon Kimatchi, and others, these brave African women and men organized a guerilla movement to run the British out of control in Kenya. Their example served to light the fire under the African independence movement which in turn greatly influenced the U.S., European, and Caribbean civil rights and Black Power movements. Veteran's Day and the U.S. military? Naw.....I spend my time trying to talk young men and women out of signing up for that gang. I have talked dozens of African and Latino young men and women into going to college instead of falling into the military trap. You aren't fighting for anyone over here by going to Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, or anywhere else they send you. You will be fighting for big business interests. It was the C.I.A. (criminals in action) , that created Al Queada in Afghanistan in the 70s when they armed and trained them to fight the Soviets, hoping to create a Vietnam type war that would destroy the USSR (they were successful), but when that war was over they had these mujahedeen (bin Laden included) who never made it a secret how much they hated the U.S. We're not saying Al Queada carried out 9/11, because I highly doubt that, but anyone who is wanting employment and a way into college (because your options are limited out here) so you look at the military, be aware that the lie that you are protecting people over here is so weak it can't stand up to anyone with half a brain. Everyone they tell you they are against they are in bed with...Iran? Give me a break. The U.S. is the reason there is an anti-U.S. regime in Iran today. Study the history of the Shah of Iran and the Islamic revolutionary movement there......It's closely tied to what I previously described about Afghanistan........So celebrate Veteran's day on Monday. Celebrate those who have struck a blow for justice in this world., but don't be confused about who those people really are. American capitalism will have you celebrating the true pirates and demonizing the true heroes. Viva the Mau Mau. Also, notice that the klansmen who regularly post comments to my posts never once refute what I write. All they can do is make ridiculous personal charges like I'm not using my real name. That's of course because they are simply paid to write stupid comments, but I truly enjoy their stupidity. They are getting so desperate that their racism is starting to come out (they can't hide it). Hilarious! Maybe they will post the time and place of their next klan rally
