African Americans Who Now Betray King’s Condemnation of Wars Will One Day Lead a Nice New USA

How strange then is the fact that the African American community is, and has been, either openly or indifferently, supportive of white racist regime change imperialist bombings, invasions and bloody occupations in smaller nations of people of color. [Civil Rights Leaders, Progressives, Family, Will Again Betray Martin Luther King on His Birthday,  1/13/2015, OpEdNews] 

One reason must be that most African Americans, especially those under sixty, have never heard that Martin Luther King called them “atrocity wars and covert violence on three continents since 1945 to maintain unjust predatory investment in countries overseas,” and never heard that King had angrily castigated his government for “taking the black young men who had been crippled by our society and sending them eight thousand miles away to kill and die in extraordinarily high proportions relative to the rest of the population.”[1][2]

While their government insanely takes millions of non-white people’s lives overseas, America’s beloved Black celebrities, shirking their role model responsibly either out caution or lack of interest, have cooperated by their silence with an insidious criminal mainstream media half century total blackout of Martin Luther King’s anguished cries, “The greatest purveyor of violence in the world is my own government” and “Silence is betrayal,“ outcries that in 1967,  shook the world and made headlines in bold capital letters on every major newspaper’s front page the morning after Rev. King in anguish, held his fellow Americans, and himself, responsible for continuos horrific death and destruction in poorer countries for “refusing to give up the privileges and pleasures that come from the immense profits of overseas investments.” [2] (The imperialist mainstream media that today obsequiously hails King as a saintly patriotic American alongside of America’s first Black president, vilified King as a traitor until he was silenced one year later in a pool of blood. [3])

What else could one imagine contributing more to African American support for regime change death and destruction and Black celebrity silence, than the continual betrayal of Martin Luther King by his closest friends, leaders of the civil rights movement who have all gone on to political careers as officials within the very genocide producing government King condemned and thereby earned a bullet to his brain for having threatened the profitability of trillions of dollars invested in the conquering of Vietnam and other small nations seeking independence. [4] 

Lastly, the most important reason why so many African Americans support U.S. genocidal military action among colored peoples overseas, (even though thousands more Black GIs have been killed fighting for white supremacy overseas than African Americans in the streets of U.S. cities [5]), has to be that TV programing of deceit, indulgence, fear, simple minded fake news and false patriotism that has sold the dozens of genocidal US bombings, invasions and occupations in poorer non-white populated nations as a heroic defense of America.

It is the same reason the majority of all Americans either willingly participate, support, acquiesce or are indifferent to what criminal media calls necessary ‘wars’ to protect America. Media eventually coins each US ‘humanitarian intervention’ a ‘war,’ because the word war brings bravery, glory, and excitement to mind and sets up excuses of US killing innocents with ‘Well, war is war!’ and ‘Bad things happen in war.’ The last real war was World War Two, everything since being U.S. crimes against humanity and crimes against peace as described in the Nuremberg Principles of International Law that were used to hang Nazis.

Vietnamese cowering in a ditch in the face of American assault.

Consistent with the above history presented (and documented in End Notes), in the recent presidential election (a choice between two candidates of capitalism oriented political parties), African Americans voted overwhelming for the candidate infamous as Secretary of State for having proudly managed regime change death and destruction in nine nations of colored population. Again, what played a critical role in this past election was the CIA fed cartel of entertainment and information media corporations owned principally by investors in the Military Industrial Complex, who for decades have invested in profitable but illegal and unconstitutional use of the nation’s Armed Forces, CIA, sanctions and air frequencies that belong to the American public.

As new sources of information become available in a multipolar world in which the domination of an  imperialist U.S.A., run by capitalists who confuse and exploit the poor at home as well as abroad, is ended by the rise of a supremely confident socialist China, African Americans will figure out that those ruling white imperialist businessmen, frightened by the riots after King’s assassination, promoted  a silenced King, murdered by a conspiracy of federal and local government officials [ ], upstairs to number one American hero in order to get his image as a revolutionary off and out of the streets of African American neighborhoods.

Black GIs comprise about 20% of imperial soldiers, and due to poverty or the mental disconnect all Americans suffer from as a result of pervasive propaganda, they continue to participate in criminal wars against non-white populations. In that sense they ignore Dr King’s condemnation of America’s genocidal wars on the poor overseas.

Eventually enough African Americans will understand the racist genocidal trick white imperialist media have played on them for a half century, constantly repeating up King’s “I have a Dream” and making sure no mention is ever read or heard of their hero’s four years later nightmare sermon,  a thundering condemnation of America’s genocidal wars on the poor overseas given at New York’s Riverside Church on April 4th, 1967, Beyond Vietnam – a Time to Break Silence, followed later that month by Why I am Opposed to the War in Vietnam: “We have corrupted their women and children and killed their men – children, homeless, without clothes, running in packs on the streets like animals… children degraded by our soldiers as they beg for food, children selling their sisters to our soldiers, soliciting for their mothers. We have destroyed their land and their crops. we poison their water as we kill a million acres of their crops. as the bulldozers roar through their areas preparing to destroy the precious trees… they languish under our bombs and consider us, not their fellow Vietnamese, the real enemy. They move sadly and apathetically, primarily women and children and the aged, as we herd them off the land of their fathers into concentration camps where minimal social needs are rarely met. They know they must move on or be destroyed by our bombs…“we may have killed a million of them, mostly children.” [2]

“In the recent presidential election (a choice between two candidates of capitalism oriented political parties), African Americans voted overwhelming for the candidate infamous as Secretary of State for having proudly managed regime change death and destruction in nine nations of colored population. Again, what played a critical role in this past election was the CIA fed cartel of entertainment and information media corporations owned principally by investors in the Military Industrial Complex, who for decades have invested in profitable but illegal and unconstitutional use of the nation’s Armed Forces, CIA, sanctions and air frequencies that belong to the American public.”

As African Americans become aware of their having been taken in by white imperialist run monolithic mainstream media TV’s increasingly integrated and black programing and understand the horrors of the death and destruction America has brought to dozens of non-white populations overseas, King-betraying leaders of wars supporting a civil rights movement will lose all credibility. King’s civil rights movement friends  Andrew Young, Jessie Jackson, Julian Bond and John Lewis, (a few of whom had held the dying King in their arms), all went on to lucrative political careers serving the war establishment as the killing abroad that King gave his life to fight, went on. Traitors of King will be replaced by new civil rights leaders who respect King’s warning that “There will be no progress on issues of social injustice at home, while we go on killing the poor overseas at a cost in human and financial resources that make that progress at home impossible.”[1] The few Black leaders, that truly did follow in King’s footsteps, but were unable to overcome the overwhelming power of mesmerizing media, will be immortalized alongside of King. Louis Farakhan of the Nation of Islam, Obama’s former pastor, the fiery Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who was ridiculed for sermonizing “God damn America for her crimes against humanity!” and outspoken Cornel West, Prof. Cornel West of New York’s Union Theological Seminar and Princeton University’s Center for African American Studies who often called America’s first imperialist African American President, “a black mascot of Wall Street oligarchs and a black puppet of corporate plutocrats, heading up the American killing machine and proud of it,” and kept pointing out that Obama was put in office by arch criminals like David Rockefeller to fool the non-white world into believing America with a black president would be less imperialist and less murderous.

When the African American community, still solidly unified by its traditions of brother-sisterly nobility and relaxed enjoyment of life, has access to unburied confident anti-capitalist and pro justice and peace motivated teaching guidance of their martyred King’s last year of life, that well recognized African American congeniality can be expected to be the model for a new and happier U.S.A.

Today, we live in a world of televised upside down perception, permanently distorted like the mirrors in a fun house. We are mis— and dis—educated already as children by sources of information almost entirely owned by investors in the neocolonialist, imperialist style, illegal and genocidal use of national armed forces, secret services, organized religion and monolithic media. These ubiquitous sources of information mold our thinking for the ultra massive commercial profit of that 1/100th of one percent of Americans illicitly maintaining power over society.

A monolithic media cartel, owned by our ruling speculative investment banking industry, inculcates both unnatural desires that are pernicious and detrimental to our well being and animosities that are used to make continuous genocide acceptable and seen as needed. Criminally monopolized media make sure their captive audiences have zero interest in a million murdered Iraqi children in our Western in-human de-civilization.  The monopolized sources of entertainment and information criminally mis-inform, dis-inform and instill the fraudulent fears that have built an infantile acceptance of continual neocolonial genocide as necessary to protecting America.

The above notwithstanding, during election campaigns, what candidates promise to do can be an indication of what his or her financial and political backers are trending toward having the candidate ‘do’ if elected, kind of running by the electorate to see its effect.

During the recent election campaign Donald Trump, with wars-promoting media either ridiculing him or making a blatant over-the-top show of frightened opposition, has amazingly maintained among other things that the five trillion dollars spent on wars for regime change death and destruction in the Middle East should have been spent in the US rebuilding its infrastructure, that America should have friendship with Russia and China, that he would get along fine with Putin and Xi Jinping, that NATO is obsolete, that his fellow Republican previous US President Bush had lied in order to invade Iraq and that he was suspicious about 9/11, for it having happened on Bush’s watch, that he didn’t think Senator McCain, the previous Republican candidate for president, was a hero for being shot down while bombing Hanoi, and finally and most important, that 80% of mainstream media commentators and reporters were also liars, was carefully TV managed into obscurity. Wars-promoting media guaranteed the African American vote by casting the billionaire as a unmitigated racist.

The recent media-managed US election theatre appeared to this author a playing out in public of indecision within the rich one tenth of one percent, who rule America and most of the world, indecision over whether to switch to less profitable investing in their home base America and Europe, or to continue wildly enriching themselves, heavily investing in the much higher profit rendering low wage economies of the rest of the world, thereby accelerating forward the arrival of the time when emerging economies of 3rd World nations led by China will overtake the US and Europe in economic and political power and demand equity. The Economist Magazine —itself a megaphone for the 0.00001% lies and agenda—has nonetheless predicted in effect that the economies of majority humankind’s plundered 3rd world will come to dwarf those of the plundering 1st World.] Realizing this, leaders of 1/100th of 1% who rule America seem to have Trump demanding investment in the US instead of in the low wage 3rd World that China will soon lead.

Billionaire Republican candidate Donald Trump seems to have been designated by a forward thinking powerful mass of investors to present a demand that government force America’s wealth controlling deep-pockets to invest in a United States suffering from neglect, rather than continue to promote investing more profitably in the low wage economies of developing nations regardless of the consequences of speeding up development of future contenders for world power. [see The Chinese Century By Joseph Stiglitz, Vanity Fair, 2014]

This group of major investors must be aware that hugely populated China will inevitably replace America as the world’s most influential society and have therefore enabled Trump to come near to suggesting that it be better for the US to stop investing in profitable genocidal and illegal use of its Armed Forces, CIA, State Department, media and sanctions, for once the U.S. no longer has control of the UN and its courts and has lost the power to sanction, an plethora of lawsuits can be expected for compensation, indemnity and reparations for tens of millions of unlawful deaths, injuries, malformed births, increased incidence of disease, mega destruction of property and colossal theft of natural resources. (Of course, though Trump might seem to be reproaching ruling investors in genocide with a least some of the truth, Trump dares not awaken sympathy for the innocent millions of victims of US firepower.)

“According to conservative estimates, by 2017, China will overtake the United States as the world’s largest economy, and by 2050, its economy will be twice as large as that of the United States. Chinese influence will extend well beyond the economic sphere. The full social, cultural and political repercussions of China’s ascendancy will be felt sooner. In the coming decades, the West will be confronted with the fact that its systems, institutions and values are no longer the only ones on offer.” [When China Rules the World -The End of the Western World and the Birth of a New Global Order by Martin Jacques] [see also China Rising – Capitalist Roads Socialist Destinations by Jeff Brown]

Since the election, imperialist media has continued to denigrate, ridicule and slander as racist a president-elect, who is obviously backed by a powerful faction on Wall Street, but by the look of things, a faction not yet as powerful as the sector heavily investing in munitions and weapons of mass destruction which has totally controlled entertainment and information media corporations since the CIA’s Operation Mockingbird in the early 1950s. [7]

With the reader’s permission, some background regarding the continuing over the top media disparaging of the president-elect along with wild anti-Russian propaganda of mere insinuations not simply to make a case for war warning Hillary Clinton having been denied the presidency, but to reinstall the expectations and public acceptance of world war that had been propagated before an election campaign in which billionaire Now, nevertheless, wars justifying media are back on track, calling for military confrontation with Russia, while making sure those Trump arguments for a more peaceful foreign policy are never heard or discussed. (Remember before the election most all independent journalists were predicting a doomsday scenario of a third world war.)

Just as all the dozens of US bombings, invasions and occupations beginning with Korea having been justified with fake news coming from investors in munitions control of 98% of all the sources of information,[7] Americans are again being prepared for a probable dire necessity of war with Russia and China.  Remember that this was the case before the election when all most all independent journalist were predicting a doomsday scenario of a third world war. Then came billionaire Trump’s never heard of before call for friendship with Russia and China. Now media is back on track, calling for military confrontation with Russia, while making sure those Trump arguments for a more peaceful foreign policy are never heard or discussed. (Remember before the election most all independent journalists were predicting a doomsday scenario of a third world war.)  It remains to be seen if the faction favoring building up the homeland before the inevitable loss of economic and political hegemony to China, which former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark believes will bring about fortuitous changes in the nature of life in America, auguring the idealistic final sentence of Martin Luther Kings’ sermon, Beyond Vietnam – a Time to Break Silence, “we will be able to speed up the day, all over America and all over the world, when justice will roll down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
