Episode 79 Hour of Decision: Colonialism and UN Treachery in the Congo

Lew returns to the topic of colonialism and the lies told about it. He then discusses the shameful UN intervention to destroy the new nation of Katanga in Southern Africa, in 1961.


The UN propped up a Marxist regime and teamed up with the Congo central government to slaughter whites and blacks alike to prevent an anti-communist, pro-West nation from emerging. While the USSR smuggled armaments to the Marxist Congo government, the U.S. was the principal financer of the UN action.


G. Edward Griffin recounts the entire Katanga tragedy in his great book on the UN, The Fearful Master

 

Speaker 0: FDR, his socialist new deal, his plotting for war, his plans for a new order fueled by alien ideas and aided by communists, and the rotten origins of today's Democrat party. Lou Moore tells the story in five episodes on his show Hour of Decision. Click on the show logo on Liberty News Radio's website. It's on the front page at libertynewsradio.com. Speaker 1: This is Lou Moore. Join me each week on Hour of Decision where we discuss history, like FDR's history. We also talk politics and tactics for committed patriots. Speaker 0: Join Lou Moore for Hour of Decision, Saturday or Sunday, on Liberty News Radio at 2PM eastern. Our civilization is on the line, and this is the Hour of Decision. Speaker 1: Welcome to the seventy ninth episode of Hour of Decision. My name is Lou Moore. This afternoon, we're gonna talk about something that was inspired, in my mind, by president Trump's little home movie hour that he had in the Oval Office a few days ago with the president of South Africa, who was coming to the White House to suck up to president Trump, to receive economic aid and mainly just a continuation of trade relations without the tariff issue, even though that he's also been sucking up big time to the communist bloc, to China and Russia, and is, involved with this BRICS effort to actually destroy our dollar. And, of course, this is the problem with South Africa. We've had nothing but communists running it ever since white rule was ended many years ago back in the nineties. But this put a few things on my mind. This Trump's effort to make sure the president of South Africa was educated about something he damn well knows about, which is the persecution of white people in his country and specifically of the Boers, the Dutch descendants, who are the majority of white people in South Africa, not a majority of the people there, obviously. But so it put a few topics on my mind watching this play out, Like the worldwide war on white people, as an example. Like the corporate communist plot that took South Africa away from the ruling Boers, the Dutch Reform people, and put it into the hands, essentially, sorry about this folks, of the savages, but we're talking about savage communists as much as we are about savage native Africans. Like the lies of too many, conservatives believe about events like those that occurred in the recent history of South Africa. Oh, Nelson Mandela. Boy, he's just the greatest guy in the world. Folks, he was not the greatest guy in the world. He was a communist stooge. Like the rest of the so called leaders that have been put in power essentially by the West, with sometimes the machinations of the Russians and the Chinese in all of these countries in Africa. So today, I want to discuss Southern Africa a little bit, and we might as it was Memorial Day last year, if I remember correctly, it was Memorial Day last year, if I remember correctly, Memorial Day period, I did a entire episode on Vietnam, on the origins of the Vietnam conflict, excuse me, and about some of the aspects of that conflict, which included colonialism. Vietnam was a colony, part of a colony called French Indochina, who was controlled by France, prior to several events that occurred that are covered in that episode, like a big war in Vietnam. So today, I don't want to talk about Vietnam per se, but about South Africa, but in the lens of a little bit longer conversation about colonialism, which folks you may or may not be in the loop on this, depends on if you've been on a university campus as a student in the last few years, but colonialism, ladies and gentlemen, is the most evil thing in the world, along with all the other things that white people have done in history that they call attention to. As the Jewish alleged scholar Susan Sontag assured us many years ago, the white race is the cancer of history. Now, I don't actually believe that and I hope to God you don't, but there is a whole lot of people that do believe it and are inculcating our youth with that idea. And a whole lot of our youth and people that are not our youth, people that actually unfortunately start in the baby boomer level of age, which includes my own age group, but a lot of these people believe that. They believe that because every evil thing that seems to happen seems to be caused by white people. And so colonialism is definitely put in that category because it was white people that administered colonies, the colonial system, as it was known, up until, really, up until the end of World War Two. And many colonies lasted longer than that, but the system was breaking down by that time. So, as part of the Marxist Plague that's in our midst, both the Fabian Socialist, the gradualist suit and tie Marxist variety and the Bolshevik iteration of that disease, the disease of Marxism. But as part of both wings of the plague, there is a war on white people, on their nations, carried on by, among other things, radical and nearly unlimited immigration that has occurred against nearly every white nation. There's a war on the heritage of these peoples, their culture, their Christian faith, on their heroes, on their very persons, in too many cases and in too many places. Just one example, the rape epidemic in Britain that feckless and traitorous, mainly white, governmental officials don't seem to want to acknowledge or do a damn thing about, in the case of Britain. I mean, just look at the core of any big city in the Western world, in your country, in America, in Britain, in Paris, France, in Marseille. There's a war on white people. And in this process, there's been a war on colonialism. So, you know, what is colonialism? I think we we all have a vague idea or maybe a really good idea about it, but colonialism, in effect, was a situation where people from Europe and people from America, if you're going to add The Philippines and Puerto Rico to the list of colonies, Hawaii, although Hawaii is now a state, but it was totally, it was a colony when it was first habitated by white people, became a colony, where people settle, people want to be free, where there's a lot of vacant land. Every circumstance is different, but those are all circumstances where buccaneer types got concessions from their governments to go colonize these places strictly to take their resources and get cheap labor to take their resources. Not a good situation in that case. And there's just every other mix of it. You know, in the case of Vietnam, the French were invited in by monarchs and, of course, the Vietnamese culture, the Cambodian culture, the Laotian culture, which makes up what was French Indochina, that colony, a little bit more advanced than what you find in Africa. But they were actually invited in, but I'm sure a lot of the people didn't want them to come in as colonists, but a lot did, and it's complicated. The circumstances are different in almost every case, and the result for native peoples is different in almost every individual case, because a lot of native peoples got a whole lot out of colonialism. Some got filthy rich from it. Many, most, almost all, benefited greatly from Western medicine, from Western infrastructure, from Western agriculture, not starving to death every other year, being brought into the modern world, being brought into the white people's world, let's be blunt about it, because of the infrastructure that was laid down in these colonial pursuits in every case, regardless of the other circumstances of the case. So, you know, I'm not making any kind of argument, oh, colonialism was the greatest thing in the world, but I'm also not going to sit there and listen to this crap about how it was the worst thing in the world because it just wasn't, folks, for the peoples who were in that system. Varying Circumstances. There was a commercial variant of it, a settler variant. And, of course, now the left on the campuses, they've made the word settler trait of the white peoples of the world to go and conquer the unknown and settle there and turn it into civilization. And civilization, I mean, we can talk about the Chinese and whatnot, but basically the European people's world coming to your neighborhood, and, of course, some people didn't like it. Like I said, it varied in every case. Sometimes it was migration to essentially empty lands. Take Kenya, for example, in Africa, where the Masai tribe basically wiped out another tribe that had a huge expanse of land that they generally dwelt in. They were wiped out. That left the land a lot of vacant land in Kenya. And a a number of white settlers came in, particularly in the highlands of Kenya, to colonize that area and to bring civilization to Kenyans, to bring electricity, to bring modern medicine, to bring locomotives, organizations in terms of shipping, in terms of bringing retail goods to the public, in terms of processing raw materials to create wealth. So sometimes they were invited in, the colonists, the western colonists, the white colonists. Sometimes they were not invited in, and there were different reactions at different times on the parts of these people. Everything was not always great in these colonies. There were people exploited. There's no doubt about that. And there were people who were were able to advance greatly in their own personal lives and and as part of a society because they were in a colonial society, in a third world country, in an African country. In the in this situation that I'm focusing on now. So nearly the entire third world was colonized by the time of the outbreak of one of the biggest tragedies ever, also known as the First World War. And I don't want to digress too much about the First World War, but our president is talking about memorials and all this, and and that's fine. I have no problem with that. I have no problem about having a reverence for our soldiers of the past and of the present. But I got a whole big problem celebrating World War one. Yes. Technically, we won. And, of course, The United States, in some ways, was benefited by that victory other than by the tremendous loss of life even on a part of our troops that were only in the war for about a year. But it was an absolute catastrophe for Western civilization, an absolute catastrophe, and I'm going to talk more about it because there are things some things that need to be said that have been said before. You know, Pat Buchanan wrote a tremendous book a tremendous book about the origins of World War one and then of course, World War two because, you know, they're linked at the hip, World War one and World War two. No way would the second conflagration, the fifty five million persons dead conflagration, would not have occurred if it wasn't for the earlier one where only about twenty million people died. So those things are linked. I want to talk more about them. We won't get into it now, but how it's related to our story now is, you know, really the writing was on the wall after the First World War as the Marxists gained more and more power within Britain and within France and within The United States that the colonial system was going to come to an end. I mean, when the people running it are of that mind, you know, it's not going to last too much longer. So nearly the entire third world was colonized by the time of the outbreak of the first World War. And, the premier colonizers, without any doubt, leaving everyone else to a degree in the shade, was the were the Brits. You know, the sun never set on the British Empire because, the sun was up somewhere over some colony of Britain by that time, by the time of the First World War, by the time of 1914. And, I mean, it was incredible. It was incredible that, you know, they had Hong Kong in concessions in China, Australia and New Zealand, and of course they became independent nations, but they were colonies, just like America was a colony till we broke away. Australia and New Zealand, India, Pakistan, huge countries. Tremendous wealth. Belize and British Guyana and Jamaica and islands in the Caribbean in the Western Hemisphere. And I'll get to Africa in a minute, where they were the dominant player there. The French had French Indochina. The French, also a dominant player, secondary, but definitely dominated a huge percentage of the landmass in Africa. The Dutch had the Dutch East Indies. You probably heard of the Dutch East Indies at some point. That's Indonesia, folks. Oil rich, tremendously rich in oil and very populist. I mean, there's, what, 150,000,000 people there now? It's a huge country. Indonesia, that was a Dutch colony and a few others as well, and these are outside of Africa now. But the area I want to focus on today is the African continent, and with just a couple of exceptions, they were colonized. Africa was colonized completely by the time of World War one, and now for our viewing audience, if I can pull this off, I am going to show you a globe that my mother was given in 1941, and she gave that to me in the early nineteen sixties. And there is Africa and all the green, Algeria, Ivory Coast, Chad, all these countries in West Africa, French colonies, every one of them. And then the red, the red colonies, for those who can see, that's Britain's colonies, starting with The Sudan, going down into Kenya. And you know, they actually got a couple of three colonies out of World War I, Tanganyika, which is, let me point it out, is in the whoops, in the this area, Tanganyika, Kenya. And then you come down to Northern Rhodesia and to what is now Zimbabwe to Rhodesia, right here, which is now Zimbabwe, Southwest Africa, that was German, the British got it, and then of course South Africa. Those were all British colonies. In Madagascar, that huge island off the East shore there, also French, it's in green. And then there was a kind of gray colored colonies down there. You have Angola, huge. And right across from Angola, Mozambique. Those are Portuguese colonies. They had another one up here. Portugal also had one in West Africa. So, you know, you see Liberia there in yellow in West Africa. You see Egypt and you see Ethiopia. Those are the only areas that are not colonies of a European power in at the time of this is the time just before World War two. This is 1941. So the entire, continent, was colonized. And, so definitely a stage from which we can evaluate and take a look at colonialism. And in the heart, I didn't mention this. I may be shit because I'm gonna be talking a lot about it in the next half of the show right there. The Belgian Congo. Huge. Huge. In the heart of Africa as they always said. You know, you can you know, Tarzan, I think he was always in The Congo. He was in the heart of Africa, with the native folks there. That was owned by Belgium. That was a Belgian colony. So the Communists, from the time they acquired any level of power, trained their eyes on the Third World and on the colonies of the world, if you will, as did the Fabian socialists in Britain and all their brothers and sisters in gradualist suit and tie Marxism in France and in Germany and in all these other places over the years. But initially, the British Fabians saw the Empire as a big advantage for them because they saw it as a as a transmission belt for Marxism to be spread all over the world as they gained more and more power in Britain through first the Labour Party and then to a degree through all the parties, through the London School of Economics and through all their Marxist professors, there at the Fabian Society in Britain. So, you know, they were totally against colonialism, but not really initially. And, you know, John Ruskin, way back in the late eighteen hundreds, kind of a precursor of the Fabians, a Marxist, a buddy of Karl Marx, who was in Britain at this time, by the way, he lectured on the importance of the British Empire not to extract goods and make people like the Rothschilds extremely rich, which the colonies did in South Africa. Cecil Rhodes, an agent of the Rothschilds, there in Southern Africa. But as, as this, the ability to have beachheads all over the world just through where the Brits were flying their flag. And now you can see, you know, I'm looking at the map up here a little further. I mean, Iraq at this time, British. You know, part of Saudi Arabia, British. The I mean, the Brits were everywhere. Look at India and then Pakistan, Australia, half of, New Guinea, and the the yellow there is the Dutch East Indies. But, you know, and they had some control there in Malaysia and in Singapore. Also, the Brits. I didn't mention that a minute ago. But anyway, sun never set on the British Empire, a tremendous situation for them. And we're gonna talk more about colonialism and about specifically the Belgian Congo right after the news. You're listening to Hour of Decision on Liberty News Radio. Against tyranny and corruption for Christ in constitution, the second half of Hour of Decision with Lou Moore starts now. Welcome back to Hour of Decision. My name is Lou Moore. We've been talking about colonialism, folks. Been talking, about, the pattern of colonialism, the phenomena a bit. And, you know, one of the things that is happening by the beginning of the twentieth century, as I said, most of the third world, not all of it, but most of the third world and almost all of Africa is now under the sway of colonialism, which means they're under the sway of the Western powers. And one result of this is the third world population is exploding. It's exploding. It's much larger than it was years earlier before modern medicine in a systemic systematic way, was introduced into these areas before a phalanx of Christian missionaries poured across these various areas in Asia, and now we're talking about Africa. And so, you know, this is what prompts the book by a author of Stoddard that was writ written at the turn of the century, turn of the twentieth century, the rising tide of color. You've heard me mention this book, two or three times on hour of decision, and this is a new phenomena in the world. And so then by by the end of World War one, you know, the western powers have destroyed each other, essentially, with the exception of The United States, which ends up on top of the heap in terms of the world and in terms, certainly of western of the western powers of the white nations in the world. And so, you have this huge rise of population, of healthy populations in places where they now receive regular health care, where they are receiving some form of education, where they're getting more nutritious food, where all these things are in a system, in a colonial system, and it works better in some areas than others, and it's more humane in some areas than others. Every case is different, but that's the general trend of it. And so their populations are exploding. I mentioned I talked about the fact that the baby in socialist in Britain, and this all this goes for The United States, this also goes for the leftists, the suit and tie leftists in France, and in the twenties in Weimar, Germany, and in some of these other countries. They're, you know, they are now pivoting away, completely away from any support of the colonial system. Before, a lot of the lefty Brits were supporting colonialism because they saw it as a way to more quickly spread their gospel and to take even more power unto themselves in the beginning of a world government arguably was just having control of the British Empire. I mean, pretty good argument could be made that way as many countries as were impacted and were flying the Union Jack, as colonies during this time. But by the end of World War one, there was all this talk of self determination, all this, idealistic drivel from, Woodrow Wilson, that that nobody bought into. Everybody still want to carve up the world and have their share. But nonetheless, these ideas now, the globalists are starting to promote this idea that these colonies are bad, bad, bad, bad, and we have to, end the colonial system. So that doesn't happen overnight, and there's a lot of resistance to it. Even Winston Churchill was very resistant to it. But if you listen to my World War two episodes, you know that Franklin Delano Roosevelt pretty much laid down the law to Churchill when he agreed to, you know, eventually come into the war on British side on on the British side against the National Socialist Germans. And, you know, our condition really was getting rid of the empire. Wilson, Roosevelt was all about getting rid of the French empire, the British empire, the Portuguese empire, the Dutch empire, the Belgian empire, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. And now all these countries are weakened and are much weaker at the end of World War two. There is The United States, and, you know, we got into that Spanish American war, a provocation of the the exploding of the, USS Maine, which was probably a rigged deal, and we ended up going to war against Spain. And we pretty much just took over their colonies, The Philippines. We gave Cuba their, quote, unquote, independence, although Marxists will point out impolitely, the control of our corporations over Cuba to a great degree. We also got, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico in the Caribbean. But, so we actually were late, but we actually joined the colonial thing. And, you know, we kept The Philippines until after World War two when, the Japanese had attacked The Philippines in World War two. They were attacking American soil, American colony. And, so we were involved to some degree. But, anyway, so there's already a shifting of the sands as far as colonialism and a weakening, excuse me, of the colonial powers, and there is the rise of world communism. There's the rise of Fabian socialism or gradual, Marxism in all of the western democracies, principally in Britain and in The United States, but there is also the rise of The USSR and of the Comintern, the world body that began to meet in Russia with, the open intent of conquering every one of these areas, or what will become newly freed nations, and make it all part of their version of the one world government. And so you now have communist intriguers, you have communist agents all over the globe. You've got guys like Ho Chi Minh, who ended up to become the communist dictator of Vietnam, who had been arrested over 200 times all over the world, all over the French world because he was a French subject as being part of the French colony of French Indochina, before it became Vietnam, before they were able to break away. And, and so you have characters like this all over the place, and they're going to school in, Moscow, as Ho Chi Minh did, as Mao Zedong did, as others did. And then they're fanning out across the globe, in a lot of cases, into these third world colonial nations. So this becomes a new dynamic after World one World War one, between World War one and World War two. And then World War two, as I said, Roosevelt is openly talking about breaking up all empires. Now not the communist empire that that, that had already been created by the, union of all those socialist republics that weren't Russia, you know, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan and, you know, the Ukraine, and all of these areas around Russia that were essentially being run-in many ways as colonies by the mother Russia, which was under the complete thrall of, communism as the seat of world communism. But, anyway, Roosevelt was not talking about that, and, of course, he was single handedly, the most responsible of anyone on the planet, for what he set up to allow the Russians to end up getting all of Eastern Europe and China, Korea, Mongolia, Manchuria, and parts of Southeast Asia in French Indochina. And so that's a little different kind of colonialism, but that doesn't count folks. Just ask just ask your neighborhood, friendly neighborhood Marxist professor, and they will tell you this does not count as colonialism. This is totally different. But, anyway, I digress and digress on digressions. But, so, anyway, the system is weakening. And then after World War two, there's the formation of the United Nations, and we're gonna talk more about them in just a moment in South, Africa, the Southern Africa. And, there's this push now to give all these people their independence. And this there's the big question. Are they ready? Are they ready for independence? And all these leaders begin emerging. A lot of them in the British colonies coming right out of the, you know, the London School of Economics, out of Oxford, you know, right out of the classrooms of Fabian socialist professors. They hate the West. They love Marxism. They're very, copacetic, sympathetic with all of the third world revolutions or the, wars for national liberation, which is all the conflicts that the Russians are provoking and stoking around the globe around these various former colonial peoples. So these nations now are beginning either to fight for their, quote, unquote, independence, like Algeria, John F Kennedy's favorite third world, Marxist, revolutionaries, Ben Bella in Algeria, a former French colony at the north part of Northwest Africa. You know, there's what's, situation in Vietnam. But in every case, these guys are fighting. They said, we're not communist. Oh, no. No. That's the same thing Castro said. Oh, we are not communist. Let me tell you. We're just freedom fighters. We're kind of like George Washington was, fighting the colonists, colonists, you know, being opposed by the revolutionaries, you know, trying to equate our revolution in some way, completely different in every regard with now the emergence of these third world, leaders and the emergence of third world nations. So in Africa, in particular, folks, as these nations begin to become independent, it is an unmitigated disaster. You know, Ghana was one of the first countries in West Africa, a British colony kind of surrounded by French colonies there in West Africa. And then they had a guy named Kwame Nkrumah there, and he was supposed to be the greatest guy in the world. I think he went to Harvard and, yeah, for, you know, perfect, you know, grades and education and all this. And, you know, he gets to this country and he just starts looting it mercilessly. And this is the thing with a lot of these emerging African leaders is the communist found that they didn't have to train them in Marxist economics or even in the tactics and the thinking of the communist manifesto. They just needed to hand them a bunch of luxury goods and some women, and they were off to the races. And a place where this was so true, because I'm not gonna pivot to an example of, you know, we're talking about colonialism kind of vaguely and in general. I wanna talk now about the Belgian colony of The Congo, which was in the middle of all this ferment of we need to be independent and all this. And the, brain dead leadership in Belgium said, oh, yes. These people, I think they're ready for independence. And, of course, they hand the government over to a guy named Patrice Lamumba, a former petty thief, a a thoroughgoing Marxist, although people said he was really just more of a partier, liked a lot of women, and really liked all the largesse he was getting from the communist world. But he took over, the central government, what became the central government in The Congo, and the Belgians leave. They leave him in charge, but there's only one thing, folks. All these countries in Africa, Ezra and Asia to a degree, but much less so. In Africa, all the infrastructure is run by white people. All the railways, the utilities, the the the food, supply chain, the supply chain of other goods, All of these things, and then the big industries that, provided revenue, for these areas and these newly minted nations, like Ghana, like Nigeria, like The Congo, you know, this is all white people, folks. And, but, the revolutionary ferment that, is being whipped up in a lot of these places, like The Congo, you know, The first thing they wanted to do there is massacre all the whites as soon as Lumumba got in power, and they started slaughtering the whites. So the Belgians come back. They have to come back to protect all these Belgian people. Most of them, a huge percentage of these people now were born in The Congo. That's the thing. This is generational. I mean, in South Africa, the Boers, they go back three hundred years, folks, that there are Boers that have been in South Africa a hell of a lot longer than any of your ancestors have been in America. White people. And so, you know, this is a further complexity to this whole issue, particularly when we talk about Africa. But, so there were people in The Congo, former Belgian colony, now independent, and this is in 1960, in 1961, that, that, you you know, these people are being slaughtered, so the Belgians have to come back in to maintain order. There are marches in the streets in, like Leopoldville. They don't call it that now. They used to call it Leopoldville the capital of the Congo, demanding they come back in because a lot of the African people didn't like all this disorder either, and there's already, starvation breaking out. The food food supply, chains are being disrupted. The place is going to hell in a handbasket at a rapid rate. But Lumumba is, not an idiot, and he understands that his best route now is to appeal to the world, to our state department, to John f Kennedy, and to the Russians, and to the United Nations. So he talks the United Nations into coming into The Congo, guns blazing. And then they send in Irish troops, Swedish troops, and also African troops, and I don't remember from where now. There are also African troops and Indian, as in India. Indian troops come in. They're not nice. They push the Belgians back out. But meanwhile, in the southern part of The Congo, there is a province called Katanga. And I talked about Katanga when I talked about John f Kennedy because, ladies and gentlemen, every patriot in The United States when John f Kennedy was president knew damn well what was happening in Contega. It was on the news every day, the John Birch Society, the Young Americans for Freedom, Williamette Buckley, everybody back in the day was talking about Katanga because Katanga was run by an elected Christian Methodist African man named Moise Shambhay. There were a lot of white people there because there was a lot of mining industry and all this infrastructure I was telling you about. They had universities there, but it was an extremely well run place. No violence. No racial violence. The the universities were filled with African students, with white professors, and the place was just operating on another level and and moving up in the world. And while the Congo, the rest of it was going to hell in a hand basket under the leadership of Marxists, who were getting arms, surreptitiously from Czechoslovakia, which is really from Russia. And anyway, and then they called the UN in, and Kennedy financed this UN operation where they slaughtered thousands of people trying to get Katanga back into the Congo because, the the you know, Katanga was not playing the new world order game. They were not playing the communist game. Shambhay was a militant he was a Christian, a militant anti communist. He had a lot of whites right in the government. He was not shy about that, not afraid of it. The white people loved him down there. His own people loved him. I there I mean, there's footage, rallies, thousands of people. I mean, they are on fire for this guy. He's very charismatic. And so he leads a succession movement, to get them away from the chaos going on in the rest of the Congo. The problem is that's not in the new world order plan. The UN is backing The US, the Russians, the Brits, the Belgians, not so much the Belgians, but, all the large nations, the major nations of the United Nations were backing Lumumba, and then, he dies mysteriously. Now they're saying today they're saying that Shambe's people killed him, but I don't believe that. And that's not what was reported at the time. But, they send the UN troops in, and there were three major attacks on Katanga by UN forces where they slaughtered thousands of white people. They slaughtered people in Red Cross ambulances. They leveled hospitals. They killed many thousand native people there trying to force Katanga back into this Marxist state, that, and Marxist disaster that was the Congo. And, you know, Herbert Hoover spoke out against this. William f Buckley spoke out against of course, the Birch Society was on fire against this thing because they were saying this showed the real nature of the United Nations. United Nations says we're just there for peace and peacekeeping, and we don't wanna interfere with the local people. It couldn't have been farther from the truth, folks, what happened in there. It was just the opposite. And so here you have a a case study of, you know, is a country ready to be independent? Well, in this case, you had black people working with white people. You had universities, full, k through 12 education. You had, you know, every supply chain working great. Every health indicator, great. Crime, low. Elections and, you know, all these countries are so corrupt. I mean, I didn't get into that. I mean, the corruption level the corruption level in the entire third world is off the charts compared to what we're used to. I mean, let me just be blunt. And everybody that's ever done business in any third world country, knows that. And corruption is getting worse in this country, getting worse in Europe, but corruption is endemic and just part of the culture. In Mexico, it's just, the bite. You always gotta pay the bite to do anything. And, you know, in Africa, off the charts. Off the charts. But, it was reasonably better in Katanga than anywhere else in Africa, and they're independent now. They're actually an they're operating as an independent country. So anyhow, the UN wasn't having it. And finally, after the third major attack where they have they have brought in a ton of armament, and then the Russians brought in a ton of armament surreptitiously through Czechoslovakia, to the central government. So the central government, with the UN, went in and just slaughtered a ton of people in Katanga, and there is all kinds of witnesses of it. New York Times reporters, at that time, they weren't all completely bought off. Anyway, the best book on this, folks, without any doubt, if you're interested in that, and I have it here, it's by g Edward Griffin. Remember that name? The guy that wrote The Creature from Jekyll Island. This is a book he wrote several years earlier about the UN, about the evil of the UN, and he knew that this case study of Katanga was the best example of how evil the UN can be, could be, and can be today. And that's why the first six chapters of this book is about Katanga, and I highly recommend it. It's called The Fearful Master, a second look at the United Nations by G. Edward Griffin, for those of you who are not observing me showing it on the screen. A great book. Another book, I'm just gonna get into that real quick because we're running out of time. This guy, he's apologizing constantly and everything, but he's a big shot, ethicist in Britain named Nigel Biggar, who has really, upset the apple cart because he has told the truth to a degree about what really happened in the British Empire. And it's not pro empire by any means, but it is the most honest treatment and a detailed treatment, that is in, you know, in current it's current. This book's like a year old. So that's another one you might look at if you're inner more interested in this topic. But, folks, you know, Africa is a unmitigated disaster. We haven't talked even talking about South Africa. I think I'm gonna have another episode on Rhodesia and South Africa. Two of the, British and former, in case of South Africa, former British colonies, and talk about, you know, what happened there. I mean, Rhodesia had one of the another example, it was run by whites, but, blacks were fully integrated in the economy. It was a thriving place, and then the Marxist came in, took over, and it became Zimbabwe the worst country on Earth. Hell on Earth. In Zimbabwe, which used to be a perfectly charming country of Rhodesia with racial cooperation. But let's just be honest about it, folks. These countries without white people, they don't make it. They don't survive, and that's just it. Anyway, my name is Lou Moore, and you're listening to the Hour of Decision on Liberty News Radio.
