@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale There's more. Let's explore the history of "The Establishment" relationship with PA movements & thus reveal the Pan-European nature of US/Western Imperialism.
1. The US Government collaborated with the Belgian, French & British Governments to Assassinate Patrice Lumumba in 1961.

@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale 2. The USA Governent were the principal backers of the brutal Mobutu regime In Congo. When PA forces (e.g. The Rebellion lead by Piere Mulule) rose up, the US sent troops to crush the Rebellion; as well suppress PA orgs in the USA who declared solidarity with the ppl of Congo.
@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale 3. The CIA expended considerable resources spying on & trying to undo the work of Omowale Malcolm X while he was travelling through Afrika. They even attempted to posion him in Egypt. Numerous articles by now known FBI journalists plastered the media opposing his actions.
@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale 4. Omowale Malcolm X condemned the American Government for its acts in the Congo & was in the process of establishing the Organisation of Afro-American Unity expressly to forge a Pan-Afrikan Powerbase. This work was the reason the US government orchestrated his Assassination.
@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale 5. The US Governent used the United Fruit Company (UFC) essentially as its cometcial/political arm in the Caribbean. It was used to disrupt the activities of Marcus Mosiah Garvey & the UNIA as well as every labour movement of an anti colonial nature.
@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale 6. The US government conspired to arrest, jail & deport The Most Hon. Marcus Mosiah Garvey on trumped up charges & then moved against the organisation, confiscating many of its properties, its documents & harassing its membership domestically & internationally.
@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale 7. In the words of one Garveyite of the time "you couldn't say the words 'Marcus Garvey'." She went to describe how members of the movement began to hide their affiliation in the USA for fear of losing their jobs and others reprisals.
@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale 8. The #NAACP & other assimilationist & even socialist leaders lobbied the US Government to arrest & deport Marcus Garvey in the 1920s. They launched the "GARVEY MUST GO" Campaign in which they charged him with bring "Anti-Anerican", backing US Gov action against Garvey Movement.
@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale 9. When Baba Kwame Ture married Mama Miriam Makeba in USA, her music was removed from stores across USA & her concerts were cancelled. In part due to the harassment faced in USA they moved to Guinea & became Pan-Afrikan Ambassadors - trailed by the CIA at every turn.
@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale 10. 1980 US military began drills prepping to invade Grenada in light of the Grenada Revolution 1979. Not only were they fearful of the impact the Grenada revolution could have in the Caribbean, but the CIA had another concern. Maurice Bishop speaks👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿

@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale 11. Though it is known the CIA was in Grenada, its hand in the Assassination of Maurice Bishop is yet to come fully to light. What is certain however is that the US military invaded Grenada within days & installed a Neo Colonial puppet government.
@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale 12. In 2000, after years of delays, the Zimbabwe government finally succumbed to the demands of the War veterans and seized land from white colonisers in Zimbabwe. The US government responded by imposing economic sanctions on Zimbabwe which are still in place today.
@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale 13. The UK government did its part by forming the Westminster Foundation to fund the forming of the MDC in Zimbabwe. The strategy was to effect regime change and attack PA efforts geared towards addressing the land question through out Southern Afrika.
@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale 14. In the 1920s, when the UNIA-ACL was actively establishing its HQ in Liberia, the USA Government sent agents & corporations to strong arm the Liberian Government. Land that the Garvey Movement purchased was sold to the Fire stone Rubber Company & goods were confiscated.
@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale 15. The US, French & UK Governments collobarated across colonies & shipping companies to ensure Marcus Garvey was denied entry into Afrika in general and even some Caribbean Countries. They enacted economic warfare in various different nation to rob UNIA-ACL land & properties.
@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale 16. The CIA is known to have funded forces in Angola who were hostile to the MPLA - the most popular Pan-Afrikan anti colonial force in Angola in the independence era. The funding cane in Arms, money & military
@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale 17. In Chad during the 1980, the CIA facilitated a war that was designed to unseat then president Oueddei & install Hissene Habre. The US backed Habre went on to become a convicted War criminal. Although the US sponsored him, they were never held responsible for complicity.
@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale 18. In 1964, the US state dept proposed the use of “psychological warfare and other means to diminish support for Nkrumah within Ghana and nurture the conviction among the Ghanaian people that their country’s welfare and independence necessitate his removal.”
@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale 19. The reason why these “covert and unattributable attacks on Nkrumah" were necassary is because of Nrumahs Pan Afrikan activity e.g. Ghana Guinea Mali Union, sponsoring of other revolutionary leaders, support Afrikan Grassroots movements in US, UK etc...
@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale 20. 1915-1934 the US military occupied the Island of Haiti. The killed of govvernment official and ppl resistance, stole $13mil in Gold, destroyed agriculture, rewrote the constitution in order to allow whites to own land & industry & installed a puppet government.
@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale 21. The rewriting of the constitution was designed to nulify a law that said no whites could own land in Haiti. This law was established after the revolution in order to make Haiti sanctuary for free Afrikan from anywhere, while guarding against white imperialist power.
@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale 22. France/USA operate as a part of a Pan-european axis. When Haiti President Aristide began to demand reparations from France, the US Government invaded the Island & overthrew Aristide. Poverty in Haiti & migration from Haiti to US is predicated on the above context.
@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale 23. In the 1960s, the CIA created an organisation called the American Society of African Culture. Its purpose was capitalise on the increased Afrika interst among Afrikans in America & the independence era, in opposition to the work of Omowale Malcolm X of other Pan-Afrikanists.
@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale 24. Omowale Malcolm X spoke to this dynamic of the US Government send Afrikans from America to Afrika to represent the interests of the US government over the interest of Afrikan/Black ppl in his 1965 speech Prospect for Freedom.
