Clooney to enable a Sudanese Boko Haram

They are not there yet but he is working his ass off to get them there, and to see them flourish. These would be the Sudanese version of Nigeria's Boko Haram. His latest visible effort in this field comes in the form of an article he co-authored with John Prendergast and Akshaya Kumar under the title: “George Clooney on Sudan's Rape of Darfur” published in the New York Times on February 26, 2015.

Clooney and his accomplices want the world to believe that when gold was discovered in Darfur, the government of Sudan said the time had come to go rape the women there. He does not explain how this would benefit the government, but it was something like it that happened in Nigeria when oil was discovered there. At the time, predecessors of Clooney worked to create what came to be known as the Biafra condition. And given that today's Boko Haram have roots which trace back to that era, the work of today's Clooney clearly aims at duplicating that result in the Sudan.

Generally speaking, actors are like an empty vessel which the director fills with the personality that a writer has fashioned to tell the world a story – one that may be true or that may be fictional. Because of this, it is convenient to use the fame of an actor to promote a story ... however unlikely it may be. And this is how the true story of what is happening in Darfur has been supplanted by the fiction that when gold was discovered in the region, the government of Sudan decided to rape the women there.

So then, what is the true story? Well, you get a hint as to what that story may be when you read the likes of Victor Davis Hanson and Bret Stephens. These are mouthpieces who often lament the fact that nature has put oil wealth under the feet of the Arabs and the Muslims rather than the feet of the Jews and their followers. In effect, therefore, people such as these do believe that the natural resources of others must not be left to them, but must be taken away and given to someone else.

This is what tells you that when gold was discovered in Darfur – far from the government of Sudan saying let's now rape the women – it was someone else that said let's create a Biafra-like situation to rob the people of Sudan of their natural wealth and give it to someone else. The way to accomplish this would be to use an empty vessel such as George Clooney, and fill it with the fiction which they promote throughout the world. That's what they do with articles such as the one we are discussing, and with other events.

What tells you how naïve these people believe the readers are is a passage like this: “According to the International Monetary Fund, gold sales earned Sudan $1.17 billion last year. Much of that gold is coming from Darfur and other conflict zones. The government has attempted to consolidate its control over the country's gold mines in part by violent ethnic cleansing.”

What was that? The government has legitimate jurisdiction over its natural wealth, and legitimately benefits from it but initiates violent ethnic cleansing to accomplish another purpose? And what would that purpose be? To consolidate its control, you say? What the (bleep) does that mean, you brainless assholes going by the name of George Clooney ... and his associated mouthpieces?

Also, when they say “violent ethnic cleansing” does that mean raping the women? But where would the women be? Working in the mines? No, says Clooney and his associates. It is that the government of Sudan has set up model villages where it encourages Darfuris displaced by violence to go and settle. And that is where the soldiers of the Sudanese army go rape the women, they explain. They even call it: torture rape.

How interesting! Look what these people want us to believe: In order to consolidate its control over the mines it already controls and benefits from, the government of Sudan has set up model villages where it encourages people to go live. But when they do, the government sends its soldiers to go rape the women right there in the villages. But how does that consolidate the control which the government already has over the mines? No response there because no reality underlies that claim.

Instead, it is George Clooney and those behind him who rape their audiences with the aim to duplicate what was done in Nigeria, with the result that unless they are unmasked, these people will enable the rise of a Sudanese Boko Haram to do in East Africa what is being done in West Africa – creating the chaos that makes it possible for foreigners to share if not to control the natural wealth of the country.
