African Ping Pong: US Plays both Sides in Uganda. The Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) is a US-backed Guerilla Force

Joseph Kony, leader of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA)

This is the New Scramble for Africa.

After Libya, horror stories are again the order of the day.

The Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) rampaging around Uganda is nothing more than a US and Mossad-backed guerilla force.

Its task is to destabilize wide areas of Africa rich in minerals like Uganda, ex-French and Belgian Congo, and Sudan.

Joseph Kony, the self-appointed leader of the LRA, ex-choir boy, brilliantly flexible break dancer, the new US terrorist poster boy, has been on the CIA’s books for years.

The LRA’s mass abductions, industrial scale rape and pillage, and kidnapping of children who are turned into monster killers, bear every sign of a CIA MK-Ultra derived programmer to create robotic “no questions asked” terrorists.

Hundreds if not thousands of these ghastly indoctrinated children, trained to kill and maim without pity, have been sent north to stiffen anti-government guerilla forces in Sudan and Somalia.

Kony’s crazy claims that he wants Uganda ruled according to the Ten Commandments is simply pure theater.

He provides the perfect excuse to invade Uganda on the pretext of inciting another humanitarian mission.

Yoweri Museveni, the de facto dictator of Uganda, knows every move in the game. After all, he has been supping at the CIA trough for years.

What is going on in Central Africa is a fine old game of ping pong, the new scramble for Africa, in which western intelligence (American CIA, British MI6, Belgian intelligence, Israeli Mossad) are playing both sides of the table.

The aim is to destabilize the entire region so effectively that most of it can be effectively controlled under the disguise of the usual humanitarian mission. The vast mineral reserves (copper, diamonds, gold, uranium, and oil, for starters) can then he handed on a plate to western exploiters.

This is a direct continuation of the CIA/MI6/Belgian/Mossad promotion of the Katanga breakaway state back in the 1960′s. The western powers encouraged their local stooge Moise Tschombe to pull out of the freshly independent ex-Belgian Congo.

The prime minister of the Congolese Republic, Patrice Lumumba, was murdered in 1961 with the complicity of US and Belgian Special Forces.

Dag Hammarskjöld, iconic second secretary of the UN, died when his plane came down in the Rhodesian veldt on the 18th of September 1961, a couple of days after Lumumba was assassinated. He was on his way to negotiate a truce with the Katangese rebels.

Hammarskjöld was committed to official UN policy (opposed behind the scenes by the US, the UK and Belgium) to re-integrate the Congo.

His UN jet was seen by witnesses to have been shot down by another plane circling close by. British and Rhodesian intelligence made sure the subsequent inquiry scrubbed out any compromising evidence.

The famous Entebbe Raid of 1976, ostensibly to rescue passengers on board a hi-jacked Israeli air liner diverted to Uganda, was a cover story for Mossad to punish its former lackey, dictator Idi Amin. Israel had been his main financial backer until he became too greedy.

He turned to Islam and the Entebbe incident followed not long afterwards. Amin fled the country in 1979.

A hundred US trainers heading for Uganda may not sound like much but remember that was how the Vietnam imbroglio kicked off.

The colonial rape of Africa is a version of the Strategy of Tension devised by western intelligence and NATO back in the 1970′s and 80′s, in order to cow western electorates into supporting strong anti-communist right wing governments.

NATO’s Gladio secret armies terrorized innocent civilians with bombs and bullets, synthetic violence attributed to urban Marxist-orientated guerillas like the Red Brigades in Italy and Germany’s legendary Baader-Meinhof gang.

In fact these organizations were largely manipulated from within by western intelligence.

So now you get the Joseph Kony picture.

It’s the same old story.
