We all saw an awful display of hypocrisy and lying when US President Barack Obama visited Africa this week, giving lip-service to African “freedom” with US-backed military and demonstrators about to overthrow democracy in Egypt, US-backed French forces occupying Mali, US Alliance forces occupying Somalia (2 million refugees and 2.2 million dead from violence or war-imposed deprivation since 1992) and Libya devastated by the US Alliance (0.1 million killed, 1 million refugees ). However, the greatest dishonesty and hypocrisy was exhibited by pro-Apartheid Israel Obama on his visit to South Africa that emerged from rule by the US- , UK- , and Apartheid Israel-backed, White supremacist, anti-African, anti-Asian, racist Apartheid regime only 20 years ago.
As an African-American college student Barack Obama was opposed to Apartheid in South Africa – but that was well before he became a plaything of the Neocon Americans and Zionist Imperialists who run America . Thus US writer Margot Mifflin writing in the New Yorker (2012) recalled Obama's support for divestment as a means oif fighting Apartheid: “On February 18, 1981, a student at Occidental College, Barack Obama, delivered his first public speech. As the opening speaker at a rally protesting Occidental's investments in companies that were doing business in apartheid South Africa, he stood with one hand in his pocket, spoke in declarative spurts, and showed no sign of being the orator who would become President nearly twenty-eight years later. Before he could say much, he was carried off by two students pretending to be oppressive Afrikaners… In retrospect, one clear narrative emerges: The rally was not, as advertised, entirely about apartheid. It was about the racial issues smoldering on our own privileged, largely white campus, a subject some of the speakers passionately addressed. Students of color felt marginalized, and the faculty was not diverse. “We call this rally today to bring attention to Occidental's investment in South Africa and Occidental's lack of investment in multicultural education,” Obama said, before he was carried off. Though the rally had no effect on the former (the college didn't divest), Occidental's minority population, which is now over forty per cent, has since quadrupled.” Full story...
