Dawn Breaks Over Marblehead

Before you all get fuming mad at what you think is my opinion, you might want to check out the bottom of this post for a few other opinions I've included...

One thing I seem to have to learn over and over again is that politics in the USA is NEVER about what it appears to be. That in all the decades that I have been alive, NOTHING is ever done politically unless there is an economic value to those individuals that want to rule the world economically for their own benefit. Those people make a call and a country is taken over, someone gets assassinated, a new government is put in place, a war is started, funding is either provided or pulled back, alliances are made or broken, etc. Those financial interests will use the USA and it's government to accomplish their goals and it has been going on for a lot of years no matter what party is seemingly in charge. Politics in this country are just an illusion, a mask for what is really going on. It, like the TV and news is just an entertainment ploy handed to us to keep us distracted and manipulated. They know that a divided nation is a controllable nation so we are being constantly and deliberately fed divisive issues. Harsh statement?

This last Thursday I heard something on the news that literally made me so angry I was at the boiling point and I can count the times when I was that angry on the fingers of my right hand. It was an announcement by the government of the USA that they were removing funding from Uganda, "supposedly" without affecting the health and welfare of the people of Uganda. (which is not true at all because I have read reports of massive funding being cut even before this for humanitarian purposes). Prior cuts in funding have not brought the desired results of obedience and submission. It was supposedly because of the "anti-gay law" but that is only a convenience because there is a ready and willing public that will embrace that reasoning. Something that has been carefully crafted by the govt and the news agencies with exaggerations and outright lies that almost shock the senses of anyone who wants to know the truth and actually looks into the facts. Like "Obama Care" has anybody actually read that law?

Here's a hint. The American government does not make foreign policy based on "human rights"... EVER (Unless it is being used as an excuse)... Let me prove it to you. Let's take Saudi Arabia for instance. An ally in the "war against terror" which has funded the bank accounts of munitions manufacturers for over 10 years now. The penalty on the books for gay sex in Saudi Arabia (notorious for other massive and brutal rights abuses) is DEATH. Billions in logistics funding from the USA. They are the mortal enemy of "gay rights." If I was to suggest cutting off funds and denying visas to any of their government officials as punishment for their brutal treatment of "gays" and a whole host of others, the government of the USA would be on my doorstep in an hour or less. "Come with us." That is not an exception by any means as far as trade and military alliances with other countries who are rife with rights abuses go.

So considering all this and the severity of this attempt to dominate Uganda into submission on this issue is rather perplexing. The powers to be aren't even remotely interested in "human rights." If you don't believe me take a good look at some of their factories in other countries. Somebody wants something there (aside from control) and they are willing to bend the government and the population of the USA to get it. What is it? The up until now budding tourism with it's incredible lakes and wildlife preserves? It's incredibly friendly population? It's coffee crop? Maybe there is an untapped incredibly lucrative market for malaria carrying mosquitoes? (Hmm mosquito warfare?)...

How about dominating a country and population to the point of desperation that they would be willing to sell their rights to their largely untapped oil reserves and mineral deposits? Those deposits properly handled could pull Uganda from poverty to a robust economy. Robust economies are not conducive to major profit for the corporate powers to be. A desperate government willing to sell oil and mineral rights for next to nothing and a population willing to work for pennies on the dollar? Now that is worth something big time to them and there is no human cost too great to accomplish those ends. To the people who really control this country collateral damage is a forgone conclusion, maybe even a desirable one.

The AFA (anti-gay law) in Uganda is a convenient if not manipulated excuse for a much more aggressive economic agenda. The people in charge at the top of the world economic system and the USA know exactly how the government and people of Uganda would react. It is a predictable outcome engineered for a hidden purpose. I'm pretty sure the campaign contributions in the next election are going to be rolling in.

Here's my proposal in a fair and balanced approach. Immediately suspend all aid to all countries that have anti-gay laws. Cancel visas from those countries. Immediately suspend all federal aid to the states that have "anti-gay marriage laws." Put anyone in government or civil life that is responsible for upholding marriage as between a man and a woman on a no-fly list and forbid access to federal facilities and funds.

Who is this pullback of funding hurting in Uganda? I can well imagine and have seen graphic and painful evidence of that. But I will leave you with not my opinion but the opinion of others on the ground there in Uganda. Opinions not filtered by the Masters Deception in the USA.

“I’m not an advocate for aid cuts. Neither am I an advocate for bullying (political),” Julian Pepe Onziema, Programme Director of Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG), a gay rights organization, told IRIN. “There are so many horrible laws in this country, but to single out, to radically react to the AHA is not only patronizing but also further enhances LGBTI persons’ vulnerability to both non-state and state-sanctioned homophobia.”*

“This aid in particular is meant to serve vulnerable persons needing treatment and relief,” said Dora Musinguze, executive director of the Uganda Network on Law, Ethics and HIV/AIDS (UGANET). “I would firmly advocate for finding other formula of getting government attention,” she told IRIN. *

“As a human rights activist, I would not want the donors to cut aid to Uganda because they will deprive all Ugandans services that they need, most especially those living with HIV/AIDS,” Dennis Odwe, executive director of the Action Group for Health, Human Rights and HIV/AIDS (AGHA) Uganda, told IRIN.*

Way to go President O. Glad you did your research so well. Why don't you pick on someone your own size?....
