[Peace-discuss] Belgium Member of Parliament exposes lies of intervention in Mali

[David Johnson]

I would  have volunteered to fight fascism in the Canadian army BEFORE Pearl Harbor !

You can't seem to understand or accept the fact, that the wealthy elites who control OUR government, are the greatest purveyors of violence in the world today.
Not to defend the American people, but to invade, plunder, and control certain countries natural resources to benefit NOT the American people, but to further enrich and enpower the 1 %.

  Guess he is as misguided as you are and just as cognizant of the facts... wonder what you would have been like if you were around during WW-II!

    Belgian member of parliament Laurent Louis against the military intervention in Mali

    A controversial speech by Laurent Louis from January 17th. The politician here takes position against Belgiums participation in the Mali War. For his statements, skip to Minute 2:42.

    Quotes:

    “As you can see, for months, our country is only participating to put in place, Islamic regimes in North Africa and the Middle East. So, when they come and pretend to go to war in order to fight against terrorism in Mali, well… I feel like to laugh. It’s false! Under the appearance of good actions, we only intervene to defend financial interests in a complete neo-colonist mindset.”

    “It’s a real nonsense to go to help France in Mali in the name of the fight against terrorism when at the same time, we support in Syria the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad by Islamist rebels who want to impose Sharia Law, as was done in Tunisia and in Libya.”

    “The western countries are taking the oppurtunity to place military bases in the newly conquered countries while favoring domestic companies.”

    “To go to war, to free people from an outside aggressor, is noble. But to go to war to defend the interests of the USA, to go to war to defend the interests of big companies such as AREVA, go to war to put our hands on gold mines, has nothing noble at all and it reveals our countries to be attackers and thugs!”
