Politicians, Generally Dressed in Deceit, Greed and Treachery

I admit I have grown considerably since the beginning of the Hilary Clinton – Barack Obama epic struggle for the Democratic Party Nomination in 2008. Alton Maddox opened my eyes. Hence, I wasn’t surprised Obama became the choice. Now, it was at that period I begun realizing I am aware of the phrase failed states.

Why are nations with a pronounced African segment of the population considered failed nations? Why are politicians such miserable failures? The simplistic answer I am aware of has always been follow the money. Politicians are generally dressed in deception. That’s never a good thing for the underprivileged working class people. Add greed and treachery to the fabric. The politician becomes corrupt and bloodthirsty. I am not aware of any so-called anti-colonial champions exposing the contents of the instruments of independence. I’m aware Eric Williams, Kwame N’Krumah and Forbes Burnham often hinted about forces beyond their control dictating the fortunes of the nations under their watch. Tomas Sankara also alluded to that force. As did Malcolm X. Now, in this age of access to information its a tragedy millions of Africans are online simply into trending and heckling. Most Africans jump on the social networking sites interested in nothing but distractions. Rhetorical questions such as what one does for his country informed readers the enquiring mind is a parrot. Rothschild and Zionists own the money supply and control the political economy. Until the legal tender is owned by the people and state of any particular nation that nation is in reality a failed state. The Zulu nation may very be the last independent nation in Africa.
