Mandela, Apartheid, The CIA and Israel


While the corporate media focuses on trivial matters like selfies, handshakes and fake sign language interpreters, Democracy Now is one of the few media outlets providing crucial information regarding the legacy of Nelson Mandela.

When you get a free moment, I recommend that you watch these important videos. In addition to discussing the life of Nelson Mandela, Democracy Now exposes how the C.I.A. helped the South African government capture Nelson Mandela.  Democracy Now also explains how the U.S. supported the Apartheid regime and how Israel provided military aid to racist South Africa. 

As we continue to mourn the passing of our dear brother Nelson Mandela, we must reflect on the past and continue to struggle for a better future.

"Give Peace A Chance"

When humanity has the necessary vision and determination, we can transform the impossible into a tangible reality. Africans were enslaved in America and considered chattel property. After slavery, African Americans were subjected to the brutal oppression of the Jim Crow era. Today, the most powerful man of earth is an African American named President Barack Obama. In the 1990s, Apartheid ended and political prisoner Nelson Mandela became President of South Africa. For the most part, the conflict in Ireland has ended and peace reigns. The Berlin Wall came tumbling down. The Soviet Union collapsed and the Cold War has ended. Recently, combat troops left Iraq. Similarly, there can and must be peace in Palestine and Israel. In the words of John Lennon, we must "give peace a chance". Failure cannot be an option.
