[2011 Aug] Burying the Darfur Genocide Myth by Thomas
C. Mountain Genocide has and is being committed by the Ethiopian
regime of Meles Zenawi against the Somali people of the Ogaden, but there has
been no genocide in Darfur.....The Darfur genocide myth has for years been a
very useful smokescreen in helping to hide the most terrible crime in the world
today, the Ogaden Genocide.....Sudan is estimated to have suffered some two
million deaths during its decades-long civil war between the north and the
south. While peace has been slowing taking hold in Darfur, in the
Ogaden peace is a long lost memory. War, famine, and disease are spreading
across the Ogaden, and it is becoming a situation that is increasingly the norm
in growing areas of Ethiopia. While the western hucksters raked in beau coup
millions of dollars while peddling their “save Darfur” bunkum, Sudanese have
seen real peace on the ground take place in Darfur.
In contrast, Ethiopians, suffering under a regime that is the
largest recipient of western aid in Africa, only see a future of growing ethnic
and religious conflict, and worse, active programs of genocide. The problems
developing in Ethiopia can invariably be traced back to the west, mainly the
USA. The west, in particular the USA, is hell bent on keeping Africa in a state
of crisis, the better to exploit. And the “save Darfur” lobby is all for
bringing more violence to Africa under the guise of “humanitarian intervention”,
while little of the over $100 million they collected ever reached the Darfur
people it was intended for.
[2011 July] World Food Program in Somalia: Angel of Mercy or Angel of Death? by Thomas C. Mountain Back in 2006, just as Somali farmers brought their grain harvest to market, the WFP began the distribution of its entire year’s grain aid for Somalia. With thousands of tons of free grain available, Somali farmers found it almost impossible to sell their harvest and faced disaster......Then in 2007, just as the Somali grain harvest began to arrive in local markets, the WFP once again distributed its entire year’s grain aid, only this time with the Ethiopian army there to protect it. With a four-year-long on-and-off-again drought since afflicting most of Somalia, you could say the WFP helped put the nail in the coffin of Somali agriculture......It was only a couple of months ago that the WFP had cut the minimum survival food rations for the one million or more Somali refugees it had been feeding by 70% due to a “funding shortfall,” yet today they would have us believe that they are desperately concerned for the survival of the Somali people suffering from the drought?.....While some 10 million Somalis living in the Ogaden in Ethiopia are the victims of a drought and food aid blockade, the WFP remains silent, complicit in genocide.
[2011 May] Caught Red Handed; British Assassins in the Horn of Africa by Thomas C. Mountain All of those arrested have since been confirmed as employees of a British “security” firm akin to the notorious US company Blackwater/Xe. At least two of the four are former British Special Forces. As in the case of Raymond Davis, the CIA killer caught in the act in Pakistan, the British Foreign Office has been claiming Geneva Convention protections for these gun thugs all but confirming their being on an official mission for the British Government.

[2000] US Behind Invasion of Eritrea
by Thomas C. Mountain What the media
almost never mentions is that the invasion of Eritrea by Ethiopia is funded by
the USA and armed and advised by Russia. Preliminary research shows that in the
last 18 months the American government has provided Ethiopia with at least $460
million in aid in the form of hard, convertible cash. The Economist reports that
the UK based International Institute for Strategic Studies claims that Ethiopia
has spent over $460 million on arms in the last year alone, almost all of it
from Russia and former Soviet block countries. Could these figures be
coincidental?......To this day Eritrea is the only
country in Africa that owes nothing to the World Bank or the IMF.
This independence, backed up by a thriving
economy, is a powerful role model for not only Africa, but for the rest of the
world. If tiny, natural resource poor Eritrea can not only go it alone, but do
better than all the rest of the IMF/World Bank controlled countries, what is to
stop everyone else from following suit? This is
the reason behind the US support for the Ethiopian invasion. The US elite want
Eritrea brought back under their dominance, or at the very least, so devastated
that they are no longer a role model for the rest of the world.
..... Under the supervision of Russian Generals and
provided with US and Israeli satellite intelligence, the Ethiopia army was able
to pinpoint an Eritrean weak point and breakthrough into western Eritrea, the
bread basket of Eritrea. There they proceeded to carry out a "scorched earth"
campaign until driven out by Eritrean counter attacks.
....Already, their US paymasters are growing concerned
by their failure to crush Eritrea and have already begun to cover their tracks
leading to the support they have provided to Ethiopia. It is the responsibility
of us in the west to expose the criminal nature of the US support for this
holocaust. The bottom line is without US $'s the TPLF regime could not have
attempted this invasion in the first place. For the US to say they didn't know
their aid money was being spent on arms is like the Mafia don saying he didn't
know his capos were committing all their crimes.
.....The question is "are there enough of us in the
west who care enough to expose this crime? Or don't a million African refugees
and another 100,000 dead Africans matter?"
