Bombing Khartoum; CIA’s Latest Attempted Coup in Africa

Gen. Burhan is well known for sending dozens of flights of heavy Antonov cargo planes with hundreds of tons of weapons to the CIA backed TPLF attempted coup against the Ethiopia government during the "ceasefires" the CIA forced the Ethiopians to accept, during the war from 2020-2022.

As I write the Sudanese Air Force is bombing Sudan’s capital city of Khartoum, an act of desperation really, because the war launched by the CIA backed coup attempt is not going very well for the coupsters.

Reliable reports from Sudan say, over 75% of the country is under the control of “opposition” fighters of the Rapid Strike Forces (RSF) with the head of Sudans National Intelligence surrendering along with a senior general and with another senior general being captured.

The CIA’s henchman, Sudanese Supreme Commander Gen. Burhan and self styled “Sultan of Sudan” was set on dismantling/crushing his main opposition, Gen. Hemeti, head of the RSF and preventing a civilian government from taking power from him, something Gen. Hemeti supports.

Hemeti was the one who first pushed through the return to civilian rule, after the former gangster President Bashir was overthrown in a palace coup by Gen. Burhan. Burhan has since staged another coup against the civilian government, and is the absolute ruler of Sudan today.

Apparently the CIA couldn’t get Gen. Burhan to act quickly enough to wipe out the RSF and arrest Hemeti, his main rival. The RSF, true to their name, struck first last week and the Sudanese Army under Burhan has been on the back foot from the get go.

The RSF has captured a long rumored Egyptian Air Force base in south Sudan, broadcasting images of Egyptian Air Force personnel and several Egyptian Air Force fighter bombers. This base was where the Egyptian military, whose salaries are paid by $1.5 billion in US funds dispersed by the CIA, were threatening to launch an attack on Ethiopia’s Grand Renaissance Dam if Ethiopia didnt agree to give Egypt control of the Nile River’s water.

Gen. Burhan is well known for sending dozens of flights of heavy Antonov cargo planes with hundreds of tons of weapons to the CIA backed TPLF attempted coup against the Ethiopia government during the “ceasefires” the CIA forced the Ethiopians to accept, during the war from 2020-2022.

Hemeti is supported by the Eritreans, from which he returned from a visit last month and the Ethiopians, who have been threatened repeatedly by the Egyptians. Last year Hemeti visited Russia for an extended period and when he returned it turns out, thanks to a Burhan press conference, that Sudan and Russia had agreed to a Red Sea naval base for the Russian Navy.

Burhan is the one who has been pressing for normalization of relations with Israel, something not popular with the Sudanese people but very much supported by the CIA.

Now Burhan has sent “his” air force force to bomb “his” capital city, something never before done in history. Questions are being raised about who is actually piloting the planes dropping high explosives on the citizens of Khartoum, for most of the families of the Sudanese Air Force pilots live in Khartoum. Speculation is that Egyptian pilots are the only ones Burhan can rely on to carry out some pretty desperate acts, war crimes really, as his forces on the ground are being routed.

Hopefully this war, which came out of the blue and has developed rapidly will come to an end soon and the long suffering Sudanese people will be able to live in peace once again. Unfortunately, not if the CIA has its way.

They want their henchman Burhan, or no one. The US way, or let all hell break loose. Happily, it looks so far that the latest CIA coup attempt in the Horn of Africa is being defeated. We will see, what the future brings for Sudan.

One thing is for sure, Eritrea and Ethiopia are not going to sit idly by and watch the CIA destroy peace in Sudan like they tried to do in Ethiopia.

According to another view I was reading somewhere else the author claimed that neither Egypt nor Ethiopia have got the appitite or a clout that it takes to take a side in this conflict at this moment in time. Both countries are facing a much bigger challenges inside their own respective countries to venture into such sort of proxy wars somewhere else, which is also unnecessary, in my view. Sudan and Ethiopia are neighbours for ever.

A look at the various players in the fighting that has exploded in Sudan paints a much richer picture than what some call a proxy war.

In any case it is very much unfortunate that the people of the Sudan has to endure this amount of damages both in terms of human and material costs.

One of General Burhan's planes was shot down by the Ethiopian Air Force as it attempted to deliver weapons to TPLF terrorists in Tigray.

That could be true, I have no proof to conclude that. Assuming that it is true, still Ethiopia has an interest (national interest, if you like) and I don't think part of that interest is to revenge those who tried to harm it before at this moment in time. Ethiopia (like any other nation elsewhere) should craft a strategy based on its interest and prioritize them, in my little understanding.

Obasanjo was CIA stooge, Jimmy Carter’s boy – Seun Kuti

By:Sunny Green Itodo

https://dailypost.ng/2023/04/21/obasanj ... seun-kuti/



April 21, 2023

Grammy-nominated afrobeat artist, Seun Kuti has asserted that former Head of State, Olusegun Obasanjo, while serving as Nigeria’s military ruler between 1975 and 1979 was a stooge of Central Intelligence Agency, CIA, and a loyalist of then-US president, Jimmy Carter.

He stated this in a recent interview.

According to him, the invasion of his late father and afrobeat pioneer, Fela’s Kalakuta abode on the 18th of February 1977 by Nigerian soldiers was influenced by the United States.

He explained that the attack was primarily targeted at his late grandmother, Mrs. Fumilayo Ransome Kuti because of her socialist stance during the cold war.

Kuti said his grandmother was thrown out of the window during the invasion of Kalakuta by over 1000 soldiers.

He said,
I believe also like because 1977, this was in the height of the cold war. And she was Africa’s only surviving leading socialist at that time, with any kind of real political power and clout. So, I think the attack was really 30 percent on Fela and 7 percent on her because [Olusegun] Obasanjo was really a CIA stooge. He was really a Jimmy Carter’s boy.

I think that woman [Fumilayo Ransome Kuti] was really the target, because why would you otherwise throw a seventy-something-year-old woman? How could she be resisting that you need to throw a seventy-something-year-old woman out of the window, if you have not been told by some superiors that you have to do that?
Kuti added, that his grandmother never recovered from the injuries sustained from the attack.

How Truman’s America Re-Nazified Germany

By Eric Zuesse

https://theduran.com/how-trumans-americ ... d-germany/

April 21, 2023

The first (original) Nazi Party was in Germany, but the ideology, imperialistic racist fascism (the lower-case “nazism” ideology, instead of just the original, upper-case “N” Nazi Party that was an example of it) can be in any country.

German racist-fascism or Nazism was organized by Hitler as anti-Jewish, anti-communist, and for a Thousand-Year Reich in which “Aryans” or purebred descendants of Adam and Eve in Genesis 3, would have control over the entire world, and there would be no descendants from the snake (Satan) in Genesis 3, which Hitler believed Jews to be. The Slavic peoples in the Soviet Union would become enslaved to Aryans, and that land would be the main breeding-ground or “Lebensraum” to expand the numbers of Aryans so that they could achieve further conquests, and he thought that the most difficult country for Germany to defeat would be America — but, that he and his fascist allies would first need to defeat all of EurAsia. Then, he would take on America. That was his plan, ever since 1919, and as-of 1928, his Second Book, and it never changed. Conquest of all lands, and extermination of all Jews, was to produce his Thousand-Year Reich, which he thought would be “Paradise.” Nazism wasn’t only about exterminating Jews. It was also, very importantly, about conquering the Soviet Union.

America’s President Harry S. Truman came into office on 12 April 1945 fearing Stalin whom he didn’t know, resenting his immediate predecessor FDR whom he had barely even met and did not like, and thinking that the best thing for America would be if the Germans and the Russians would simply kill each other off. His chief aide, James Byrnes, and Britain’s Winston Churchill, worked on him, to get him to fear Stalin, but it was Truman’s personal hero, General Dwight Eisenhower, who sealed things that way in his mind, by telling Truman at the Potsdam Conference that if America would not defeat the Soviet Union, then the Soviet Union would defeat America; and, so, on 25 July 1945, Truman decided to start the Cold War, and he did it by telling Stalin that America would not allow the Soviet Union to have any control over its bordering nations which were being contested by the Soviets versus the Germans — in other words: that the Soviet Union must not interfere if the people in those countries might choose to ally with America against the Soviet Union, instead of with the Soviet Union against America. His attitude toward Stalin, and toward the Soviet Union, suddenly became clearly hostile on that day — exactly the opposite of what FDR’s had been. Thus, on 25 July 1945, Truman wrote from the Potsdam Conference in Berlin to his wife Bess https://archive.is/3isYd in Washington,
There are some things we can’t agree to. Russia and Poland have gobbled up a big hunk of Germany and want Britain and us to agree. I have flatly refused. We have unalterably opposed the recognition of police governments in the Germany Axis countries. I told Stalin that until we had free access to those countries and our nationals had their property rights restored, so far as we were concerned there’d never be recognition. He seems to like it when I hit him with a hammer.
That’s as-if if Stalin were to have told Truman that if the people in Mexico or in Canada were to ally with the Soviet Union against America, that would be okay. Stalin obviously could not agree to it; and this statement by Truman, that America had a right to ally with the USSR’s adjoining countries against the USSR, did inevitably start the Cold War. If it felt to Stalin like Truman had just “hit him with a hammer,” then practically anyone but the bigoted Truman would have understood why. It was mega-historic, a complete reversal of what FDR’s attitude and policies had been, but ‘historians’ continue to ignore it, even to this day, because they don’t want to acknowledge the historical fact that Truman started the Cold War, and that subsequent U.S. Presidents refused to put a stop to it, but instead continued to feed its flames.

Konrad Adenauer https://archive.is/I61oF#selection-4015.0-5140.0 was chosen by Truman to lead post-War West Germany, because Adenauer was strongly supportive of America’s conquering the Soviet Union but had no particular interest in Hitler’s aim to eliminate Jews. He was a pan-Christian rabid anti-communist who viewed atheism with deep contempt and so founded the Christian Democratic Union and Christian Social Union Party, not only against communists but against all socialists, under the view that Germany’s Social Democratic Party was too accommodationist to communists, and not sufficiently hostile toward the Soviet-controlled half of Germany, the GDR. He was the sort of person that Truman wanted to lead Western Germany.

Truman’s CIA brought into America and other anti-Soviet countries thousands of ‘former’ Nazi officials and put them to work in intelligence, weapons-design, and other anti-Soviet services. Truman’s Nuremberg Tribunals were show-trials of Hitlerites whom the Truman Government didn’t need, and whom it displayed as sacrificial wolves to execute in order to fool the world to think that America wasn’t going to simply take up where Hitler’s regime had left off in trying to conquer the entire world in a battle against ‘communism’. The idea was to play up the Nazis’ anti-Jewish obsession and play down their anti-communist obsession, so that people wouldn’t even notice that America had simply picked up Hitler’s world-conquest objective, but this time for America instead of for Germany.

On 10 January 2016, Muguel Auso headlined
Adolf Heusinger: the story of the Nazi general who ended up leading NATO
https://archive.is/61bjt and accurately described the career of one of Hitler’s leading and always loyal generals whom the Truman team not only excluded from the execution-list but actually advanced into leadership positions not only in West Germany’s military but then even to the very top of NATO as chairman of the NATO Military Committee – the highest rank in the organization’s military branch.

That article was republshed by Ronald Ángel, on 28 June 2022, as
The story of the Nazi general who ended up becoming head of NATO: World War I veteran, Nazi army chief of operations, secret CIA agent, and chairman of the NATO military committee.
https://archive.is/5CptS

On 21 March 2022, Beatriz Talegón headlined
NATO and its links with Nazism: Some of the high commands of NATO came from being high military commands of German Nazism and very close to Adolf Hitler,
https://archive.is/zTePg and it became posted by Ronald Ángel on 23 June 2022.

It summarily described 9 top Nazi generals whom the Truman regime not only let off the hook but promoted to high positions in NATO and in Germany’s post-War military: Reinhard Gehlen, Adolf Heusinger, Hans Spiedel, Johannes Steinhoff, Johann von Kielmansegg, Ernst Ferber, Karl Schnell, Franz Joseph Schulze, and Ferdinand von Senger und Etterlin.

Germany — which has 231 U.S. military bases (and you can count each one of them on that list) https://archive.ph/XN5Ux — is a vassal-nation of the U.S. empire, and therefore cannot make any decision in international relations that the U.S. Government (the empire’s headquarters) won’t allow it to make. Germany’s re-unification on 3 October 1990 turned Germany, a nation that the Soviet Union had defeated in World War Two as a consequence of Hitler’s failed Operation Barbarossa invasion of the Soviet Union, https://archive.is/KvWTu#selection-1555.55-1563.145 into becoming, yet again, nazi, but this time under America’s version of racist-fascism (nazism, the ideology), which wasn’t entirely the same as Hitler’s had been: it wasn’t, at all, obsessed against Jews. It’s obsessed, instead, only against Russians. https://archive.is/cU1oa

Post WW-II history has been systematically misrepresented as-if the aggressor were Russia. U.S.-and-‘allied’ nations pretend that America and Britain defeated Germany, but they only stole it after the Soviets had won it and won WW II. Instead of gratitude for that, Russia gets, from them, only lies against it. And, ever since 25 July 1945, when the Cold War started, the aggression between the two sides has always been by America against Russia, and it has also been aggression by America against China, and against any country that is on good terms with one or both of those. It is, in fact, the non-stop U.S. campaign to take over the entire world — control all international relations. This can end in only two ways: either by the U.S. regime’s quitting its attempt, or else by global nuclear annihilation. https://archive.is/c52Ag

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s new book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
