The Big Nausea: Waking Up With an Obama-Ache

Wed, 04/17/2013 - 14:03 — Glen Ford

by BAR executive editor Glen Ford

Who will defend the indefensible Obama? Answer: There will be fewer and fewer Obamapologists, as each day passes. “For the monumentally dysfunctional Black Misleadership Class, the winding down of the Age of Obama is cause for frantic repositioning, and for the revising of their own histories.”

Capital: The Only Winner in Kenya’s 2013 Elections

Mon, 04/08/2013 - 17:52 — Wangui Kimari

by Wangui Kimari

Multinational capital and its superpower enforcer, the United States, treated the recent Kenyan election like their own property. As it turns out, “Our new president is the biggest land owner in Kenya and our almost president has the support of American imperialism.”

Mali, France and the War on Terror in Africa

Tue, 02/26/2013 - 17:50 — Horace Campbell

by Horace G. Campbell

“The current insecurity in Mali is a direct result of the US military presence...and why Africans must be more forthright in opposing the expansion of the US Africa Command.” France plays a special role in this escalation, as she maneuvers to hold on to her African holdings. The U.S. and France trained and financed the same jihadists they are now fighting.

There is No Effective Constituency for Africa in the United States

Tue, 02/19/2013 - 23:16 — Glen Ford

A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford

The next chief of AFRICOM wants a 15-fold expansion in drones and other intelligence-gathering. The full-court press against the continent has begun, with the U.S. “building the capability to militarily control all of Africa, in conjunction with its European allies and its African proxies.” But the Black American Misleadership Class couldn’t care less.

The Real Invasion of Africa is Not News and a License to Lie is Hollywood's Gift

Tue, 02/05/2013 - 14:09 — John Pilger

 

by John Pilger

The cold truth is: the U.S. and its allies’ armed “interventions” seek the “implantation of the West's business plan for Africa, together with the rape of multi-ethnic Syria and the conquest of independent Iran.” The corporate media fiction is: good guys versus terror.

Mali Invasion Shows That “Adieu” Does Not Always Mean

Tue, 01/22/2013 - 15:54 — Mark P. Fancher

 

by Mark P. Fancher

Whether rightists or “socialists,” all French governments believe in their inalienable right to dominate Africa. French troops are on the move in Mali and the Central African Republic, and not long ago overthrew the regime in Ivory Coast. If the colonial era has passed, somebody ought to tell Paris – and French-speaking Africans – the news.

Freedom Rider: Obama Moves on Iran

Wed, 01/16/2013 - 15:22 — Margaret Kimberley

 

by BAR editor and senior columnist Margaret Kimberley

No allegation against Iran is too wild for the U.S. corporate media megaphone. The fact that Iran’s modest arms industry makes a small proportion of the bullets floating around Africa is made to seem the equivalent of a mushroom cloud. “While the U.S. spins its AFRICOM web and plans to send troops to 35 different countries, Iran alone is accused of bringing violence to the continent.”

American Militarism Threatening To Set Off World War III

Wed, 12/12/2012 - 02:15 — Francis A. Boyle

 

by Professor Francis A. Boyle

Massive lawlessness by the U.S. government, at home and abroad, requires a response of civil resistance. “Today’s civil resisters are acting for the express purpose of upholding the rule of law, the U.S. Constitution, human rights, and international law.” The resistance is lawful. “The U.S. government officials are the outlaws!”

Arab/Black Conflict: A Colonial Gift to Africa That Keeps on Giving

Tue, 11/20/2012 - 13:46 — Mark P. Fancher

 

by Mark P. Fancher

The U.S. and European media frame “racial” conflicts among the peoples of Africa as endemic to the continent, rather than a legacy and tool of colonial rule. However, “the crisis in Mali is not a simple conflict between two racial groups that can’t get along, even if race is somewhere in the mix.”

Betraying Our Legacy: Barack Obama-Bathing his Hands in the Blood of Innocents

Tue, 10/23/2012 - 21:17 — Harold Green

 

by Harold Green

African Americans have lost a great deal in the last four years: more Black household wealth has vanished than at any time in history, for example. Even more disastrously, Black America may have lost its moral and political moorings. “With Barack Obama at the helm, we seem not to be concerned about continuing our legacy of resistance and fighting for justice.” We risk becoming complicit in the most heinous crimes against humanity.

Bad News for Africa: 3,000 More U.S. Soldiers are on the Way

Tue, 10/23/2012 - 20:34 — Mark P. Fancher

 

by Mark P. Fancher

The United States plans to permanently station a U.S. Army brigade on African soil, beginning next year. Is this the start of something big – and ominous – or “only a benign creeping U.S. military presence in Africa?”

Who Will Get “Whacked” Next in Africa?

Tue, 10/16/2012 - 20:50 — Patrick Bond

 

by Patrick Bond

The Obama administration’s Africa policy “has become a rotten fusion of the worst instincts within neoliberalism and neoconservatism.” Its common denominators are “petro-military complex profits, an ever-expanding ‘War on Terror’ and an anti-Chinese political block.”

Black is Back, With a Conference in Washington, Nov 3

Tue, 10/09/2012 - 20:00 — Glen Ford

 

A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford

The Black Is Back Coalition was born in October, 2009, when Black activists came together “to make some noise and formulate some plans – rather than passively accept the corporate policies of the icon in the White House.” The Coalition has been hard at work on worldwide Black liberation ever since, and will “Break the Silence” once again, with a rally and conference in the nation’s capital.

Break the Silence of War and Oppression: Black Is Back Coalition to Rally and March in DC in November

Tue, 09/11/2012 - 23:12 — Omali Yeshitela

 

from the Black is Back Coalition

On the heels of its national conference last month in Newark, New Jersey, the Black Is Back Back Coalition will rally under the theme “Breaking the Silence,” in Washington, DC, on November 3 and 4. “Our people are enduring oppressive conditions that can only be likened to a state of warfare in every community where we are located within the U.S…. We will disavow the charlatans, poseurs and sycophants who have been chosen by our oppressors as our leaders. “
