IMPERIALISM
DO THEY KNOW ITS COLONIALISM AT ALL?
THIS IS THE WORST SONG EVER MADE. “And the Christmas bells that ring there [in Africa] are the clanging chimes of doom / Well, tonight thank God it’s them instead of you.” <— an actual lyric from this garbage song. REALITY CHECK: it was not GOD who magically bestowed wealth upon white people and imposed starvation & poverty on Africa — it was European colonizers who did that actually, and not by the grace of god, but by the lash of the whip. This song, produced as a charity project supposedly to raise money for starving Africans in Ethiopia, perfectly embodies everything that is wrong with the idea of white people giving “charity” to Africans. Africa is the RICHEST continent on the planet earth. But who benefits from all the diamonds, gold, coltan, bauxite, and other minerals of Africa? Not Africans; moreso people who look like the ones in this video. Africa doesn’t need charity, they need their resources back! Reparations are due. If Africa had control of their resources, EUROPE would be the one begging for charity! Think about that. “Africans are not poor, they are being looted!” - Chairman Omali Yeshitela http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHIHdJ5h_d8&feature=related
CHAIRMAN OMALI BREAKS DOWN BOURGEOIS FEMINISM
http://uhurunews.com/content/spear/spear_archives/2003-05/spear-2003-05.pdf
The white women’s and homosexual movements have become virtual scabs on the Black Revolution, offering themselves up for part of the booty of parasitic capitalism, demanding and receiving favors and privileges as their price for class peace under capitalism. Not only are these movements incapable of raising up and supporting the Black Liberation Movement which is the quintessence of the class struggle within the U.S., they are also absolutely incapable of raising the question of women’s oppression within the context of class, the only way such oppression will ever be overcome.
The black petty bourgeois neocolonialist puppets and the women’s and homosexual movements are conscious opportunist movements which offer up the battered carcass of the collective black working class to the altar of capitalism as offerings of class peace for the privileges of themselves as anti-proletariat social forces. They all attempt to mute and obscure class struggle and call on the people to join with the Democratic party to achieve their aims.
ON THE LGBQT QUESTION
I’m completely opposed to oppression based on sexual orientation and against all forms of oppression for that matter. Here’s the thing though… The mainstream media want us to believe that the most pressing issues in the world today are gay marriage, abortion and marijuana legalization…but the rest of the planet is not talking about that shit! They are struggling to liberate themselves from a whole social-economic system (led by the US empire) that thrives off sucking their blood and stealing their resources for our benefit. That is the primary thing around which all other problems revolve! Imperialism is the #1 enemy to all humanity, including white people and including LGBQT people! So any struggle for “equality” for the LGBQT community or any other sectors of white people within the context of imperialism is merely an attempt to REFORM imperialism, to FIX imperialism, to hoist a rainbow flag right up there next to the red, white and blue. Fuck that! Imperialism must go! must die! must be brought down!
The repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell” was supposed to be a cause for celebration too.. wtf? How about DON’T KILL IRAQIS. I’m supposed to celebrate because now more doors are open for different groups to actively participate in the IMPERIALIST oppression of the vast majority of the planet?? What about the the real “99 percent” of the planet - Africans, Mexicans, Indigenous peoples, Arabs, and other colonized peoples? What about 50 percent of humanity who live off less than 2 US dollars per day, who face daily terror and violence and threat of outright extermination?? That’s what this struggle’s about! Let’s take care of imperialism! Let’s push this monster into its grave! Let’s get organized under the leadership of the colonized in the struggle to smash imperialism to smithereens and to usher in a new world free from ANY FORMS of oppression and exploitation!

RIP WARDA - THE ROSE OF ALGERIA
The daughter of a Lebanese mother and an Algerian father, Warda grew up in Paris’s Quartier Latin where her father owned Le TAM TAM, a nightclub specializing in Arabic music. From childhood Warda sang at the club, as a result of which, at the age of 14, she was invited to sing on a local radio programme for Arabic children. In 1956 the whole family was deported from France because of the fathers support of the Algerian Liberation Movement. They settled in Beirut, where Warda soon found work singing at Tanyos, a famous local nightspot. She changed her name to Warda Al Jazaira, to avoid confusion with another singer named Warda Flouki, and was discovered singing at Tanyos by composer/arranger Mohamed Abdel Wahab, who took control of her career. In 1959 she moved to Cairo at the invitation of the famous composer Riad Al Soumbati, who went on to write many successful songs for her. Three years later she was invited by Egypt’s President Nasser to sing on “Al Watan Al Akbar”, a song especially composed for the whole Arab world, performed by the most famous Arabic singers of the time. By now Warda was a star throughout North Africa and the Middle East. She appeared in the musical film Almaz Wau Al Hamoly and then in 1963 moved to newly independent Algeria where she married a high ranking army officer and retired from music to become a housewife. She came out of retirement in 1972 to accept an invitation from the president of Algeria to sing at the country’s celebration 10th anniversary of independence. She decided to resume her career in music, in spite of her husbands strong opposition, (she later divorced him). Returning to Egypt, she worked with many famous composers including Baligh Hamdy, who she later married and her old “musical godfather” Mohamed Abdel Wahab. She became even more successful than before. Recording numerous hit songs, performing to Arab audiences throughout the world and appearing in a number of highly successful films, In 1997 the Hemisphere label released Warda, a compilation of her most recent hits. Offering the non-Arab world a rare chance to experience her warm passionate voice.

EUROZONE AND PARASITISM
The growing economic crisis in Greece especially as it relates to the deepening crisis of the Eurozone as a whole, must be understood in the context of the crisis of parasitic capitalist world economy that requires for its survival the bloodsucking extraction of resources from the colonized and oppressed nations of Africa, Latin America, and Asia, as well as the oppressed African and Indigenous communities within the US/europe.
Whites in Europe including the white workers have been fed off the superprofits extracted from the colonized for centuries but those benefits are now running dry. The colonized are waging serious struggles for national liberation around the globe that are increasingly threatening the ability of the European imperialist governments to control and exploit the oppressed nations’ labor and resources. Understood in this context, the crisis of the Eurozone is a positive development in the history of humanity.
White workers and whites in general will be fucked if we cast our fate with a a parasitic system that’s on its way into its tomb. The only sustainable future for us, for everyone, will be paved through the struggle for African Liberation and liberation for all oppressed and colonized peoples.
