Operation Re-Colonize Africa:
That’s the right context for making out what was behind the state coup that took place in Mali in March 2012, a few days before the presidential election President Amadou Toumani Toure was toppled. There seemed to be no logic in staging the coup (they toppled the president who was not a candidate for the next term), but it can be easily explained by the fact that the President and the most probable winners were all opponents of the Western military intervention.
“The military operation in Mali launched on January 11 is another vivid example of special activities aimed at recolonization of the African continent. It’s an orderly and consistent capture of new African territories by Western powers. They have got hold of Sudan by dismembering it (taking away the oil deposits from the major part of the country), the Nigerian oilfields have been captured in accordance with the International Court of Justice rulings, Libya has been captured as a result of direct military intervention, Cote D’Ivoire has been conquered thanks to a small-scale military action conducted under the aegis of the United Nations. The way to do the things differ, but the result is the same.” ~~Military Intervention in Mali: Special Operation to Recolonize Africa, Alexander Mezyaev @ Oriental Review
Before his death Martin Luther King Jr. planned to meet with Malcolm X (edit: again). What do you suppose the powers that be thought about that?
bootyregrit answered your question:
I think they thought that they better kill themselves a couple of negroes, quick like a bunny.
coochieclaws answered: Wait, so did he plan to meet him or meet him, cause ^there’s a photo of them shaking hands,.. I’m confused!
AuntieImp: There was a meeting (see the edit)… and there was also an American Playhouse tele-drama about an imaginary meeting and dialog from the same time period (1964/1965) the FBI was listening in on. The play called “The Meeting” is quite good.
Also see this interview with Coretta Scott King where she quite clearly indicates there seemed to be more common ground than differences between her husband and Malcolm X. It SOUNDS a lot like another meeting WAS destined at some point:
JACKIE SHEARER: OK, Mrs. King can you tell me again about February ‘65 when you met Malcolm X in Selma.
CORETTA SCOTT KING: Yes, I was in Selma to visit my husband who was in jail in connection with the, ah, voting rights campaign in Selma. Because he had been in jail for a day or so and, ah, because the campaign had been in progress, I was little bit weary because naturally I was so involved in it, ah, even though I was not there all the time. So when I walked into the church where the mass meetings were held at noon time. Andy Young said to me, ah, “Coretta you’re going to have to speak today because Malcolm X is here. He’s just spoken and he has aroused the people and you need to speak because you need to, ah, you know, to set a nonviolent tone.” And I said to Andy, “Well, I really don’t feel like speaking. I’m not in the mood to speak today.” He said, “Oh, but you’ve got to speak. You need to. You’ll be able to do it. You’ll feel like it. And you’re going to have to speak.” And finally of course I gave in and I did speak. Ah, so I walked out on the platform, or the, and sat down next to him in the pulpit, I guess it was. Ah, well you know I, I felt a little nervous because I hadn’t met him before and I really didn’t know what he was going to be like. But, ah, you know, after I had spoken. He leaned over and said to me, ah, “Mrs. King, I want you to tell your husband that I had planned to visit him in jail here in Selma but I won’t be able to do it now. I have to go back to New York, ah, because I, I have to attend a conference in Europe, an African student conference and I want you to say to him that I didn’t come to Selma to make his job more difficult but I thought that if the White people understood what the alternative was that they would be more inclined to listen to your husband. And so that’s why I came.” And of course I thanked him. And I was naturally, ah, somewhat surprised because I didn’t expect him to say that. I don’t know what I expected. But he had such a gentle manner and he seemed very sincere and I kept thinking, ah, you know I kept thinking about what he had said and the way he had said it. And of course within about a couple weeks or more he was assassinated and it affected me very deeply because I had met him now and I felt that it was such a tragic loss because he had come around to understand better, I think, non-violence and, and my husband’s position and would have been a, I think a force for reconciliation and healing because there was a great need I think between Blacks and Blacks, ah, for that kind of thing. And I felt also that if he had lived, ah, particularly in the latter part of the ’60s that he probably could have been a tremendous, ah, bridge, you know, in bringing Black Muslims and, and, other Black people, ah, in the Civil Rights Movement together. Ah, and, for days I had this pain almost like, this feeling in my chest, a feeling of depression, and, ah, just feeling as if, ah, I had lost someone very dear to me, and I, you know, I couldn’t quite understand but then I began to realize, ah, I guess what an impact he had made on me in that very short period of time in knowing him.
