Necklacing is the practice of summary execution and torture carried out by forcing a rubber tire, filled with petrol, around a victim&#39;s chest and arms, and setting it on fire. The victim may take up to 20 minutes to die, suffering severe burns in the process. (Wikipedia).

His struggle against the scourge of apartheid \u2013 government sanctified racism \u2013 was fashioned into a human rights struggle by the establishment and its propaganda media. The distorted image of Saint Mandela has been dutifully scrubbed of its dark side. There is no room for truth or historical fact as the tribute to Saint Mandela unfolds and will continue to do so well into next week and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Here\u2019s what you won\u2019t hear.

He was also behind a terrorist car bombing in Washington, D.C., that killed Chile\u2019s ambassador and American citizen Ronni Moffitt. Suharto, a brutal dictator who was installed by the CIA, massacred countless thousands of his fellow Indonesians and arrested and tortured more than 750,000 others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Other notable examples include Pol Pot in Cambodia. His genocidal Khmer Rogue was favored by the ruling elite as a counter force to Vietnam after it fell to communists outside the bankster sphere of influence. It would take the country a couple decades to transform itself into a globalist slave labor gulag.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">It probably will not be mentioned today or in the coming week that in the not too distant past the government Obama now represents (or reads a teleprompter for) supported racists in South Africa and Rhodesia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Reagan, who liked to fashion himself a libertarian (or his speechwriters did, anyway), supported P.W. Botha\u2019s South African government and its \u201ctotal war\u201d on a black majority. Nixon did likewise when Ian Smith\u2019s Rhodesian government engaged in starving to death citizens who wanted to throw out the white minority government ruling with an iron fist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The list of favored thugs and mass murderers is long and sordid. It includes tenacious bankster support for Adolf Hitler and the Nazis (supporters included members of the Bush crime family).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Finally, while Obama and the establishment lionize Mandela and couple him to the struggle for human rights in Africa, the Pentagon continues its move into the continent under the rubric of AFRICOM, the U.S. military command for Africa. In order to put this into perspective, consider the invasion of Libya that killed more than 30,000 of the north African nation\u2019s citizens and installed al-Qaeda and the crazed jihadists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">AFRICOM is designed to pacify the region ahead of normal bankster operations conducted by the World Bank and the IMF.
