Somali
ex-pirates seek employment: MOGADISHU: Mohamed Abdi Hassan, one of Somalia’s most
notorious pirate chiefs, appears far more businessman than sea bandit, as he
explains why he now wants to end the murderous hijacking of
ships.
“We are convincing the youths to give up piracy... I have influence, and have been mobilising the community... “I’m not saying I was not involved, for I was the one who initiated the fight,” he said, claiming he took up piracy after his fishing company was ruined by foreign fleets off Somalia after the country spiraled into civil war in 1991.
It was not foreign fleets it was us! Anyway I
am not going to talk about the amount of piracy but the reason our pirates "yes
we killed their livelihood necessitating Piracy. I published this story in April
2009. Please read the story at the link. It is scary what we did and you have to
wonder where else we have done stuff like this.
I knew the fishing industry died however I did not know we killed it by dumping nuclear and other industrial waste there. Brother pointed out that Somali war lords were bought off to dump hazardous waste in their waters. A Swiss firm called Achair Partners, and an Italian waste company called Progresso, made a deal with Ali Mahdi, that they could dump containers of waste material in Somali waters. These European companies were said to be paying Warlords about $3 a ton, where as to properly dispose of waste in Europe costs about $1000 a ton. Why we don't condemn our Somali pirates
I heard the fish were dead there and the fishermen took to pirating but it figures someone has been dumping nuclear and other toxic waste there. I do not blame them for pirating but stealing stuff is one thing. Ransoming for millions and disrupting the world is another but we disrupted them. They are supporting whole villages. I don't know what the answer is. They even take ships that are feeding their people. What do you do avoid the area and let them starve? I don't know!
It really bothers me that it seems whenever I delve into something it is always capitalism behind the problem. We keep hearing the virtues of Capitalism but our own problems and I am seeing around the world are caused by Capitalism run Amok. The great system of Capitalism is destroying our world. We have got to rein it in and control it. I was concerned with Bush's warmongering and the world marshaling forces to take him on. I was concerned about Israel instigating war too thinking they were the world’s primary problem. I thought they were controlling the US and we were going to end up destroying the world at their bid.
* We are so brainwashed, we never hear or see the truth. I noticed behind every frigging conflict including Gaza and Georgia and Afghanistan was oil and other energy sources so I just took the normal course of blaming all our problems on oil and other energy sources as the world postured to move into the future. Stupid me! In regard to our problems here I keep saying we see the enemy and he is us but son of a gun it is! We are the problem of the entire world. Capitalism! It is out of control and will destroy the world unless we rein it in. What say you!

Sadly Jim ... "what" capitalism has been twisted into today, is probably our "worst" enemy (just my opinion Jim, and I myself am a capitalist at that!) we just got some corrupting factor's that all people of the globe need to clean up, from this manipulative 1%, or so called "elite" who are about as elite (IMO) by definition as I'm a bloody Martian with a greencard! (elite at playing Polo or eating feces ... oh, forgive me, they call it "caviar") You probably also know where I stand on some of this stuff Jim, and unfortuantely I WOULD NOT give a loaf of bread to those who strike in any way against us ... yep ... starve ... I dont really give a shit. At the same time, I dont have much sympathy for those (US citizen's) who go into these region's from our side trying to get folk's resource's, cheap labour, trying to convert them, or trying to get them to embrace our culture, I would never even be in these area's, nor care to embrace their culture or be enlightened by these inbred ingrate raghead's either, just my opinion Jim.
I was just reviewing some news how we are NOW spending million's more on bloody high $$ bomb's for Israel, 100's of million's at that!! ... at a time remind you, that we are even closing school's in our own country, and talkiing about cutting benefit's to both our retiree's on SS as well as even our vet's that are disabled ... collectively Washington is not worth a damn, period!
Enough from me though ... BTW ... great photo of you and your son's on your profile page too! Later Guy ....
