Susan Rice, scourge of Africa, may become Secretary of State

Susan Rice, scourge of Africa, may become Secretary of State

Nov 14, 2020

By Ann Garrison

https://mronline.org/2020/11/14/susan-r ... -of-state/

Rice has been intimately involved in covering up the deaths of more than six million Congolese, and has cultivated close relations with every U.S.-backed tyrant on the continent.

At this point it seems six of one, half-a-dozen of the other as to who’ll be president come 2021. The election hasn’t been certified yet. Trump has sued to keep Pennsylvania from certifying their results, and there will be recounts in Georgia and probably at least one other state. If Biden drops below the 270 electors required to win, or this isn’t settled by December 8, the decision goes to the House where each state delegation gets one vote and Trump wins because there are more red states than blue states, just barely. With Mitch McConnell and Republicans standing behind Trump’s legal right to challenge results, this seems far from over, and the scenario Greg Palast laid out in
How Trump Stole the 2020 Election
https://www.gregpalast.com/hts2020-free-e-book/ seems less and less farfetched.

But let’s stop fidgeting over election news long enough to imagine Joe Biden in the Oval Office. If he gets there, it’s quite likely that one of the worst people on the planet—Susan Rice—will become his Secretary of State. In 2011, as Obama’s National Security Advisor, Rice traveled to Libya to congratulate U.S. proxies on the total destruction of the Libyan state, the most prosperous in Africa because it was sovereign over its own vast reserves of light sweet crude, oil that needs only the most minimal refining. After Gaddafi was gruesomely executed and Hillary Clinton cackled,
We came, we saw, he died,
the Waha Group (Marathon, ConocoPhillips and Amerada Hess) said that they were encouraged by an apparent
sea change in the NOC’s attitude https://www.counterpunch.org/2016/06/23 ... e-got-oil/ toward its U.S. partners.
China had a lot of construction contracts in Libya too, and much of what it had constructed was blown to smithereens.

So Susan Rice had a lot to celebrate when she arrived on the ground in Libya. But instead she bragged that the U.S. had stopped genocide. That’s the kind of ruthless, bloodthirsty, lying, hypocrite she is.

Then she flew on to Rwanda to meet with President Paul Kagame and crow that the U.S.
got it right this time.
By that she meant that the Clinton Administration, in which she served first on the National Security Council and then as Under Secretary of State for African Affairs, had failed to intervene to stop genocide in Rwanda, but that it had learned its lesson and stopped it in Libya.

But in fact President Bill Clinton didn’t stand by during the 1994 Rwandan Genocide. Through his UN Ambassador Madeleine Albright, he made sure that UN troops were withdrawn from Rwanda till the bloodbath was over and Paul Kagame, one of the USA’s yes men in Africa, seized power.

Allan Stam, University of Virginia Professor of Public Policy and Politics, https://batten.virginia.edu/people/allan-stam spent ten years researching the Rwandan Genocide with University of Michigan Political Science Professor Christian Davenport. https://lsa.umich.edu/polisci/people/fa ... venpt.html In Stam’s presentation “Understanding the Rwandan Genocide,”



he said that the Pentagon had imagined that the cost of installing Kagame might be 250,000 Rwandan lives, but instead it cost something closer to a million. Susan Rice is infamous for saying at the time,
If we use the word ‘genocide’ and are seen as doing nothing, what will be the effect on the November (congressional) election?
https://www.baltimoresun.com/featured/s ... story.html

President Obama considered making Susan Rice his Secretary of State after his reelection in 2012, when she stepped down as his UN Ambassador, but at that time both Rice and the U.S. relationship with Rwanda were under fire in the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on the conflict in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Kagame’s M23 militia was then ravaging the eastern DRC’s resource-rich Kivu Provinces, which Kagame and his U.S. backers have been determined to annex to Rwanda for decades. A courageous group of investigators in that year’s UN Group of Experts on the Democratic Republic of Congo https://reliefweb.int/report/democratic ... go-s201442 had reported that M23 was under the direct command of Rwandan Defense Minister James Kabarebe and thus the president himself.

Two days after the hearing, Rice withdrew her name from consideration to become Secretary of State and President John Kerry, a billionaire scion of empire, got the job. She instead stepped into the arguably more powerful position of National Security Adviser.

The U.S. and its allies fears a strong, unified Congo

Susan Rice, along with John Prendergast and Samantha Power, applauded the January 2009 peace agreement that “integrated” the National Congress for the Defence of the People https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_ ... the_People (CNDP) into the Congolese army in the Kivu Provinces that Kagame has so long wanted to claim with U.S. support. The CNDP was a previous incarnation of M23, a Rwandan militia whose goal is to loot resources and drive Congolese people into refugee and IDP camps, making way for Rwandans. Ultimately, these Rwandans might be expected to leave Congo and become part of Rwanda, or at the least, to become some sort of “free trade zone” that would make it easier to get Congolese resources out through Rwanda and Uganda.

DRC has the resources, including its Atlantic port on the mouth of the Congo River, to become a global powerhouse–much as a unified Sudan might have become with its vast resources including its port on the Gulf of Aden. If Congolese people controlled and fairly distributed the country’s natural wealth, they would have one of the highest living standards in the world, and they would, like Libya under Gaddafi, be in a position to help the rest of Africa. As Friends of the Congo’s Kambale Musavuli once said to me,
If Congo stands up, so does Africa.
It’s obviously not in the geostrategic interest of U.S. power elites to see any African nation emerge as a global powerhouse. Especially one where so much of the mineral wealth essential to weapons and renewable energy manufacture is so densely concentrated, as it is in DRC. It’s not in the interest of what is commonly called “the U.S.,” but it could be in a U.S. committed to national sovereignty, the first principle of international law as defined in the UN Charter. That is not the U.S. we live in or the one that Susan Rice would wish on the world, despite all her perverse campaigning for
humanitarian interventions
and
stopping genocide.

The Game Over was not only to you agame, but to your masters as well, which is why they're condemning your Weyane's terrorist attacks against Eritrea. At least your masters have come to their senses, but the same can't be said about you evil Weyane being devoured alive by Ethiopian lions.

If the senate remains Republican Which is 99% probability, she has no chance. It’d be an embarrassment for Biden to even consider her, if you remember back in the Obama days, she was bypassed for sos role because she was a controversial nominee that won’t get confirmed.
I see more an advisor or ambassador role for her in the incoming Socialist left nuts administration
But if she was to have a role that can impact Eritrea, she’ll need Eritrea’s help to succeed than Eritrea will need her... the reality on the ground has changed so much since she was in power... the risk is will she have a hateful heart and try to buy or convince Abiy to adapt her failed regime change Policy of yesterday... the probability is low but never say never, look at the government’s of German and the Netherlands still for regime change policy... the policy that hurt the Eritrean people the most not the intended goal of the policy

It doesn't really matter whether it's Susan Rice or Susan Pasta who becomes secretary of state. The US foreign policy is not dictated by a secretary of state but the same "invisible hand" that has always been controlling the US foreign policy.

Ok, we got that!

We know "the massa" is in the big house, but what are we to do with the overseer with a whip lashing our backs? Just ignore him/her?

Besides, people pontificate about the "blackness" of ppl like her & Obama & we happen to be africans (black) & they abuse us with impunity. I know "the massa" is comfortable somewhere enjoying his life, but it's the "uncle Tom" that's making our lives a living hell.

I hate racist white souls, with black faces.

You got good point and that behind the screen foreign policy driver “invisible hand” for our region is the Israeli lobby and convincing this group Eritrea is a friendly state can have great dividends. You have seen this hidden hand exposed in the open during Trump presidency...Sudan is a good example, Sudan got removed from states of sponsoring terror in return to recognize Israel, UAE & Bahrain another example...

What’s good for Israel is good for America

Eritrea is a better alternative state To work with for this powerful group, and that has been the case but TPLF worked day and night to tarnish Eritrea image in the last 20 yrs and a lot of work plus time required to rejuvenate the tarnished image....

In the back of my head, I suspect there’s a huge oil & natural gas in the horn Africa on top of the location that attracts super power that the locals don’t know but the powerful countries known🤔

Although I agree with everything that you've said, I believe, we Africans are making our lives a living hell more than anyone else is. If our heads of state and heads of government had honesty, competence, commitment, and patriotism, neither uncle Tom nor the US or China would have used Africa as their chess board.

We've to accept the plain fact that we Africans are responsible for misgoverning our countries and stop keep blaming others for the results of our own faults.

It's well known that a number of people of non-white background at certain positions of power play "more Catholic than the pope" to assimilate to the white people. Just an example, whether it's in the US or Europe, a black police officer or one working at an office is X times more likely than a white one to give you a headache!

It's all about scrambling for Africa, to profit from its wealth of natural resources. Until 1990s, Africa was largely regarded as quite marginal to American interests. But since late 2001, Africa has become a central theme in the American foreign-policy, as failed and failing states have emerged, causing shifts in geopolitics, which in turn has been influencing the manœuvre of the "invisible hand". Although the interests of the "invisible hand" remain unchanged, its manœuvre has been changing with shifting geopolitics.

I agree that there're millions of uncle Tom's in Africa too, even to the level of highest leadership positions. Left alone though, I think we can handle them (remove them or execute them). The problem arises when they get support from the likes of her, like the weyane regime and Paul Kagame etc got supported. It makes it then, exceedingly difficult to remove/dislodge them. It takes a lot of blood & huge sacrifices. RIP: Amircal Cabral, Patrice Lumumba, Thomas Sankara, Steve Biko....etc

And again, still, what irks me the most is the worship these arsholes get just for being brown. Their skin color shouldn't be a passport for massmurder & genocide of poor Africans, & I stand by that.

I know you don't like them either, but just saying!
