Standing Rock: Profusion, Collusion & Big Money Profits [Part 3]
"The spread of activist fervor is being harvested as a potential source new "consumer-activsim." The consumer-activism is guided by best selling playbooks for nonviolent revolution and a global network of trainers with a common "indigenous led" pedagogy."
Canada in the Congo
"Widespread ignorance of Canada’s chequered UN history in Africa reflects a political culture that gives politicians immense latitude to pursue self-serving policies, present them as altruistic and face few questions. Unless progressives upend this culture the loud expressions of Canadian benevolence are unlikely to align with reality."
Unworthy Victims: Houthis in Yemen and Hutus in Burundi
"Last week the ?U.S.? helped its ??Saudi? pals bomb another hospital and school in? Yemen?, killing 25, including at least 10 children. Don't imagine that its intentions are any more humanitarian in?

EMPIRE TARGETS BURUNDI: “Humanitarian” NGOs Escalate Momentum in Beating the Drums of War
"As Empire targets Burundi, force multipliers at the helm of the non-profit industrial complex such as Avaaz, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch beat the drums of war. NGOs, perhaps now the most instrumental tools in the West's war chest, are financed by (and in many cases created by) the world's most powerful oligarchs and institutions."
