—Ralph Waldo Emerson
The CIA has reportedly carried out multiple assassinations in Africa, and this reality has left many African nations baffled. Historically, Africa has served as a battleground for Western powers, particularly during the colonial era, and the continent is now a key location of geopolitical conflict between major world powers. The report reveals that the CIA, along with other western intelligence agencies, has assassinated six African leaders, including Patrice Lumumba of Congo, between 1961 and 1973. The other assassinated leaders include Ruben Um Nyobe, Mehdi Ben Barka, Pierre Mulele, and Eduardo Mondlane. Muammar Gaddafi, the former leader of Libya, was also assassinated in 2011.
There are essentially only two drugs that Western civilization tolerates: Caffeine from Monday to Friday to energize you enough to make you a productive member of society, and alcohol from Friday to Monday to keep you too stupid to figure out the prison that you are living in.
