The TRUTH behind the Somali pirate situation-2/2

[VerseInfinitum]

Foreign countries dumping toxic, industrial and even nuclear waste off the east African shores, while the same foreign nations that's not a part of the African continent are extracting all the fish and other seafood that would belong to Kenya, Somalia and other African nations? This is unacceptable! What's even worse is that mainstream media in many non-African nations never mentioned these incidents to their general public. This video woke me up to what's really going on in Africa!

American ships are fiercely hounded by anti-pollution laws. This guy who defends the fishers-turned-pirates debate either is a pirate sponsor or has a pirate's gun to his head. The pirates attacked a US flag ship and they lost. If Somolians wants a better country then they must have RULE OF LAW before they can have law enforcement on the high seas.

Violence and chaos in Somalia and in its waters isn't America's or merchant shippers' fault. That was there long before the USA was around.

what do you see that is lazy. this is htere home wht the hell are we doing over there in there waters and their land with our military that shit is crazy. we are in their land. calling them names and arresting and killing them.

if we dont like them stay home are go somewhere else it si simple

[Soloman1001]

All bullshit.

[swoop1111]

i just don't understand one thing - why the ransom why not use the captive audience to tell the world about these injustices - people in u.s. are out protesting issues in tibet and darfur. i'm sure there would be many a sympathetic ear if they had not asked for ransom and explained these issues. holding people bringing food aid to people in need for ransom doesn't earn anyone sympathy and doesn't make sense.

[frnkrizo]

Don't be fooled this is not a political purpose because of dumping or territory. These people are lazy criminals that are spinning the issue to look noble.  Crime and reward.

[Soloman1001]

I agree.

[evolvingwisdom]

you people are somethng else how can this country always go and commit its criminal activities and criminalize the people where they commit their atrocities. everywhere they go. everywhere.

[moebigsley1976]

My question is this, why are these ships in Somalian waters?

Wouldn't it be easier to hug the coast of Arabia?

There would be less confrontation.

How come people love pirates on T.V. and movies(Pirates of the Caribbean), and of the past, but despise these ones?

Who are basically saying, "STAY OUT OF OUR WATERS"

[NewJeru973]

Because these pirates are black.

our indignant natures leave us in eternal warfare ...

[fufalovemoney]

the somali people are tired of these people dumping toxic waste in there country, that is a fact

[CynNichol]

This is wrong information. The Somali/Kenya coast has for centuries been a center of criminal activity... slave trading, piracy, etc. The current pirate activity is paying for the pan-African global jihad, just like drug trafficking, etc. The only Americans dumb enough to fall for this propaganda are people who voted for Obama.

[Staubdumm]

Well, the pirates are obviously not motivated by religious fundamentalists as you say ("global jihad"), since the southern islamic front in somalia nearly wiped out piracy until they got pushed back the the US-backed ethopian troops which invaded the country.

So you are talking clearly BS.

[Azzaiel]

i'm gonna agree with this, in fact i called it yesterday. they said i was BSing and a troll.

next day? on the news

[CynNichol]

Staubdumm, you're wrong. Odinga now leads the pan-African jihad, & would be tied to the pirates/leaders. Perhaps the pirates are Kenyan, we don't know yet... the North Eastern Province of Kenya is primarily inhabited by Somalis; Kenya handled the 'talks'; & Kenya may try the pirate. My take? This is a set up by Obama/Odinga... a distraction for amnesty/guns (like AIG was for stimulus/youth corps), or a way for Obama to move our military & US taxpayer $s to Kenya as predicted before the election.

[wisemansden]

Larry Summers and his kind need to be dumped, of the coast of Somalia although they are more toxic than nuclear waste, albeit the Somali's will find a good cause for their hide. This is why the rest of the world is getting sick and tired of these hypocritical and flat out racist western regimes. Clean environment for the west & the rest of the colored world is a dumping ground . I am just sick and tired of this bigotry which is displayed every day by the so called, "civilized nations".

[CynNichol]

wisemansden, before you go off on your anti-white ranting, why don't you get the facts about the arrangements the Kenyan & Somali leaders are making with nations worldwide?

[wisemansden]

CynNichol, I am mentioning, about the elites who run this world and they come in all colors, creed and races albeit the majority are white and it is a fact. Stop feeling guilty if you are not one of them. As for this stupid brainwashed nonsense about PAN-African Global jihad, This is nothing but a fairy tale story only bought by the same people who fell for this kind of nonsense about Iraq and Afghanistan. Western countries are the biggest drug pushers in the world. Stop blaming the small guy.

[CynNichol]

wisemansden, I guess you haven't noticed the Asianization of the money markets (like in Arab petro $s, & Chinese)...

Maybe you have slept through the Islamic movement in Africa as well.

I didn't say anything about drugs in Western countries.

And I didn't blame anyone but the Somali pirates & their leaders (including Odinga/Obama/radical Muslim pals) who are indeed to blame.

p.s. your anti-white anti-America mentality is showing; but don't you feel guilty, Obama has it too.

[wisemansden]

I have been awake all along and can clearly see where you are coming from through your comments.Please don't be so paranoid, America at least in our lifetimes and even our children, will still be the most Powerful nation in the world. Just because some one has an opinion from out side the box, it does not make them into Anti anything, rather it helps to see things from a vantage point from where you can make truthful and just decisions for the good of all humanity and their nations equally.

[CynNichol]

wisemansden, throughout history people have sat by in denial thinking it won't happen to them & their kids. Your comment is awash in the multiculturalism & tolerance preaching that is the cornerstone of Islamic propaganda in this country. Outside the box? Your view is that people who think outside your box are paranoid. Your "decisions for the good of humanity" & "nations equally" nonsense is poison & needs to go. All nations & cultures are not equal; & the US is worth preserving.
