Nelson Mandela Statue: Is it now time to remove it? - British National Party
Warming up for his fall anti-Trump world tour, Obama gives a speech in S.A., the "Nelson Mandela lecture." As to be expected, the mainstream press goes to work overtime promoting it.
But who was cult figure and icon Nelson Mandela -- really? As per usual, reality turns out to be vastly different from PR illusion. Pays to review the real facts as partial counteraction to the brainwashing one gets on a daily basis.

My Great-Grandfather, the Nigerian Slave-Trader | The New Yorker
My Great-Grandfather, the Nigerian Slave-Trader | The New Yorker
African intellectuals tend to blame the West for the slave trade, but I knew that white traders couldn’t have loaded their ships without help from Africans like my great-grandfather.

July 4 Is Matrix Reinforcement Day - PaulCraigRoberts.org
Matrix Reinforcement Day - PaulCraigRoberts.org
Major Gen. Smedley Butler concluded it was all a scam:
“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period . . . I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902–1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”
