MANDELA CALLS OUT THE US!

10 years ago, on the 5th of December, Nelson Mandela, “Madiba,” passed away. He is remembered as a man who helped to lead South Africa out of the crimes and excesses of apartheid. The western mainstream media try whitewash him as just a fluffy old man that liked to dance and forgive his oppressors but we remember him as an anti-imperialist until the end.

In this video Mandela calls out America as warmongers—a country that supports carnage—a country that consistently breaks the rules and is more than willing to go to any lengths, even at the expense of basic human rights, to push its own hegemonic agenda. He calls out the US on their invasion of Iraq and the war it initiated 20 years ago, a totally unnecessary military campaign resulting in the deaths of anywhere between one and two million men, women, and children. And, as former US secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, made clear when asked were US sanctions that claimed the lives of up to 500,000 Iraqi children justified, she responded, “we think the price is worth it."

Mandela was instrumental in tearing down South Africa’s oppressive apartheid regime, as well as speaking up for other oppressed African states. May he continue to rest in peace and power!
