You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. In this case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future. It took the madmen of yesterday for us to be able to act with extreme clarity today. I want to be one of those madmen. We must dare to invent the future. Thomas Sankara, 1985
Thomas Sankara
Thomas Sankara was born on this day in 1949. He was the leader of Burkina Faso (formerly known as Upper Volta) from 1983 to 1987.
He is, without question, one of the inspirations of my life – he understood what it means to be a human being.
In the most difficult of circumstances, and taking huge personal risk, he and his government undertook major initiatives to fight corruption and improve education, agriculture, and the status of women.
His revolutionary program provoked strong opposition from traditional leaders, western imperialists (i.e. the British and the French) and the country’s numerically small but powerful middle class.
The video below is a speech he gave to the Organisation of African Unity on the 28th July 1987. While the speech highlights his humour, his charisma and his courage, the content undoubtedly contributed to his assassination three months later.
I urge you to watch the entire speech. It is as relevant today as it was 21 years ago, and, sadly, somewhat prophetic.

I watched the video yesterday however was reticent to post a reply as I don’t want to be seen as something I’m not – ie an attention seeker. I am, however, a committed Truthseeker and Truthteller – my family would say I am an obsessive Truthseeker. I can’t and wouldn’t want to argue with that label!!
As there haven’t been any reponses to this post I’d just like to say that Thomas Sankara could be talking about the UK today, here, now……
History is littered with the same agenda carried out by different ‘fronts’ but in reality, the same ‘people’ are controlling everything from behind the scenes using the ‘money’ system and the natural resources of the world to impoverish us and enrich themselves.
We know them by their fruit.
The only solution I can offer is to keep passing on such videos – thank you Mike as I may not have ever seen this one – and keep broaching the subject with everyone we can of our disappearing freedoms and money which is what people are most concerned about.
Updating an old quote from Mayer Amschel Rothschild who said “give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes its laws” I would say:
“Give me control of the planet, its money and its governments and I care not who makes the laws as they are all created by our despotic brotherhood anyway”.
“And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free”.
“Jesus said: I am the way, the TRUTH and the life. Nobody comes to the Father but through me”.
“May God bless us every one” – Tiny Tim!
I AM in the same situation as you. I wont go on, but I understand where you are coming from. I am a truthseeker, and I dont beleieve what the media puts-out. so here you have a friend. sorry about the lack of proper pronunciation, but it is friday have had a long day at work and am tired. god bless you!
A few people are suddenly realising the strength of this guy. I love him.

MALCOLM X on ZIONIST LOGIC / Taken from The Egyptian Gazette — Sept. 17, 1964

The Zionist armies that now occupy Palestine claim their ancient Jewish prophets predicted that in the “last days of this world” their own God would raise them up a “messiah” who would lead them to their promised land, and they would set up their own “divine” government in this newly-gained land, this “divine” government would enable them to “rule all other nations with a rod of iron.”
If the Israeli Zionists believe their present occupation of Arab Palestine is the fulfillment of predictions made by their Jewish prophets, then they also religiously believe that Israel must fulfill its “divine” mission to rule all other nations with a rod of irons, which only means a different form of iron-like rule, more firmly entrenched even, than that of the former European Colonial Powers.
These Israeli Zionists religiously believe their Jewish God has chosen them to replace the outdated European colonialism with a new form of colonialism, so well disguised that it will enable them to deceive the African masses into submitting willingly to their “divine” authority and guidance, without the African masses being aware that they are still colonized.

This snippet might prove interesting for those of us who are further down the rabbit hole. I can’t prove any of this but I know that Obama is a fake and that he is backed by the same ‘people’ as all the other “politicians” in the States, especially Soros and Zbignew Brezinski (spell??):

Information can be found in and from Mainstream Media:
Malcolm X also known as El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz.
Malcolm X was born in Obama, no he was born in Omaha, Omaha not Obama.
Malcolm X was known for (from mainstream media):
“He moved to New York City in 1943. After some time in Harlem, he became involved in drug dealing, gambling, racketeering, robbery, and steering
prostitutes.”
Malcolm X was surrounded by Prostitues by the time he was 17-18 years old.
“During this time, his friends and acquaintances called him “Detroit Red”.”
This RED HAIR Reference is the RED Sheild of the Rothschild dating much further back to Babylonia Red Hairs.
Arrested in 1946 at age 20 years old in Boston.
“On February 27, Little began serving his sentence at the Massachusetts State Prison in Charlestown. While in prison, Little earned the nickname of
“Satan” because of his hostility toward religion.”
“For me, my ‘X’ replaced the white slavemaster name of ‘Little’ which some blue-eyed devil named Little had imposed upon my paternal forebears”
By late 1953, he established Boston’s Temple Number Eleven (11).
9/11 ,11:11, etc
They call the Temple as in Knights Temples.
Malcolm X was a leading recruited memebr of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Muslim Brotherhood is Alber Pike’s 3 war plan to Militarize Islam.
The Muslim Brotherhood originally stems from the Red Cross.
The Red Cross Order are the Rosicrucian Order.
This is an offshoot from the Rothschild / Illuminati, Kabbalah Red Hair Edomites.

Truth is indeed stranger than fiction….Albert Pike laid out the ongoing agenda in his ‘Three World Wars’:
snip
“The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the Illuminati to overthrow the power of the Czars in Russia and of making that country a fortress of atheistic Communism. The divergences caused by the “agentur” (agents) of the Illuminati between the British and Germanic Empires will be used to foment this war. At the end of the war, Communism will be built and used in order to destroy the other governments and in order to weaken the religions.” 2
Students of history will recognize that the political alliances of England on one side and Germany on the other, forged between 1871 and 1898 by Otto von Bismarck, co-conspirator of Albert Pike, were instrumental in bringing about the First World War.
“The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and that the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine. During the Second World War, International Communism must become strong enough in order to balance Christendom, which would be then restrained and held in check until the time when we would need it for the final social cataclysm.” 3
After this Second World War, Communism was made strong enough to begin taking over weaker governments. In 1945, at the Potsdam Conference between Truman, Churchill, and Stalin, a large portion of Europe was simply handed over to Russia, and on the other side of the world, the aftermath of the war with Japan helped to sweep the tide of Communism into China.
(Readers who argue that the terms Nazism and Zionism were not known in 1871 should remember that the Illuminati invented both these movements. In addition, Communism as an ideology, and as a coined phrase, originates in France during the Revolution. In 1785, Restif coined the phrase four years before revolution broke out. Restif and Babeuf, in turn, were influenced by Rousseau – as was the most famous conspirator of them all, Adam Weishaupt.)
“The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the “agentur” of the “Illuminati” between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World.
The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…
We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil.
Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.” 4

I hope to meet many of you in Stoke on 24th Jan, meanwhile, may God bless and keep us all – 2009 is going to be one hell of a ride and we need to keep The Faith now more than ever.
That guy Albert Pike’s sure got some influence on modern events.
Took the keys off the tips of my finger, especially with the atheists now or about to start their huge ad campaign on U.K. buses with their new ad (cant remember the exact wording) There’s probably no God so don’t worry and start enjoying life
WONDERFUL
Related flashback:
An interesting LaRouche address on the occasion of his attempting to have removed the statue of Pike in Washington, 1992:
“Recently, there was a letter and an accompanying document attacking
me issued by the Supreme Commander of the Southern Jurisdiction
of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, one C. Fred Kleinknecht.
The issue which the document addresses explicitly, is my proposal
to remove from its position on U.S. government property in Washington,
D.C., the ugly statue of a traitor, a war criminal, a racist,
and a satanic degenerate, General Albert Pike, who was one of
the leading predecessors of Mr. Kleinknecht as Sovereign Supreme
Commander of the Southern Jurisdiction of the Scottish Rite
of Freemasonry.
Moreover, Mr. Pike–General Pike, as he is sometimes called–is
the author of a book called {Morals and Dogma,} which is considered
by many members of the Scottish Rite in the United States a
virtual bible, or at least the anti-bible, of that section of
Freemasonry; and that book, {Morals and Dogma,} is a book consistent
with the satanic religious beliefs explicitly adopted and advocated
by General Pike. General Pike, of course, was the founder of
the Ku Klux Klan; that is not disputable on the basis of the
evidence in hand, though Mr. Kleinknecht proposes to dispute
it.”

On the subject of Sankara, I notice that some make much of his allegedly ‘communist’ leanings. I’m pleased to note that the speech posted here gives no ammunition whatsoever to those types. It is merely highly uplifting and tragically prophetic in equal measure.
PALESTINE MUST BE FREED. AND, I have a deep feeling this new abomination by and through the “elites” of the EUROPEAN UNION, and their blood lust cultist leaders of IS RA HELL, as well as the criminally insane poly-addicted drug addicts with sexual deviancy that has created a very sick collection of minds that are supposedly “leading” (USA), that the day is here, after all, Dr. Vandana Shiva has been fighting this since 1982:

THE FIRST TIME I HEARD OF BARACK
During the period of roughly February 1992 to mid 1994, I was making frequent trips to Moscow, Russia, in the process of starting a software development joint-venture company with some people from the Russian scientific community. One of the men in charge on the Russian side was named V. M.; he had a wife named T.M.
V. was a level-headed scientist while his wife was rather deeply committed to the losing Communist cause – a cause she obviously was not abandoning.
One evening, during a trip early in 1992, the American half of our venture were invited to V. & T.’s Moscow flat as we were about to return to the States. The party went well and we had the normal dinner discussions.
As the evening wore on, T. developed a decidedly rough anti-American edge – one her husband tried to quietly rein in.
The bottom line of the tirade she started against the United States went something like this:
“You Americans always like to think that you have the perfect government and your people are always so perfect. Well then, why haven’t you had a woman president by now? You had a chance to vote for a woman vice-president and you didn’t do it.”
The general response went something along the lines that you don’t vote for someone just because of their sex. Besides, you don’t vote for vice-president, but the president and vice-president as a ticket.
“Well, I think you are going to be surprised when you get a black president very soon.”
The consensus we expressed was that we didn’t think there was anything innately barring that. The right person at the right time and sure, America would try to vote for the right person, be he or she black or not.
“What if I told you that you will have a black president very soon and he will be a Communist?”
The out-of-the-blue remark was met by our stares. She continued, “Well, you will; and he will be a Communist.”
It was then that the husband unsuccessfully tried to change the subject; but she was on a roll and would have nothing of it. One of us asked, “It sounds like you know something we don’t know.”
“Yes, it is true. This is not some idle talk. He is already born and he is educated and being groomed to be president right now. You will be impressed to know that he has gone to the best schools of Presidents. He is what you call “Ivy League”. You don’t believe me, but he is real and I even know his name. His name is Barack. His mother is white and American and his father is black from Africa. That’s right, a chocolate baby! And he’s going to be your President.”
She became more and more smug as she presented her stream of detailed knowledge and predictions so matter-of-factly – as though all were foregone conclusions. “It’s all been thought out. His father is not an American black so he won’t have that social slave stigma. He is intelligent and he is half white and has been raised from the cradle to be an atheist and a Communist. He’s gone to the finest schools. He is being guided every step of the way and he will be irresistible to America.”
We sat there not knowing what to say. She was obviously very happy that the Communists were doing this and that it would somehow be a thumbing of their collective noses at America: they would give us a black president and he’d be a Communist to boot. She made it quite obvious that she thought that this was going to breathe new life into world Communism. From this and other conversations with her, she always asserted that Communism was far from dead.
She was full of little details about him that she was eager to relate. I thought that maybe she was trying to show off that this truly was a real person and not just hot air.
She rattled off a complete litany. He was from Hawaii. He went to school in California. He lived in Chicago. He was soon to be elected to the legislature. “Have no doubt: he is one of us, a Soviet.”
At one point, she related some sort of San Francisco connection, but I didn’t understand what the point was and don’t recall much about that. I was just left with the notion that she considered the city to be some sort of a center for their activity here.
Since I had dabbled in languages, I knew a smattering of Arabic. I made a comment: “If I remember correctly, ‘Barack’ comes from the Arabic word for ‘Blessing.’ That seems to be an odd name for an American.” She replied quickly, “Yes. It is ‘African’”, she insisted, “and he will be a blessing for world Communism. We will regain our strength and become the number one power in the world.”
She continued with something to the effect that America was at the same time the great hope and the great obstacle for Communism. America would have to be converted to Communism and Barack was going to pave the way.
So, what does this conversation from 1992 prove?
Well, it’s definitely anecdotal. It doesn’t prove that Obama has had Soviet Communist training nor that he was groomed to be the first black American president, but it does show one thing that I think is very important. It shows that Soviet Russian Communists knew of Barack from a very early date. It also shows that they truly believed among themselves that he was raised and groomed Communist to pave the way for their future. This report on Barack came personally to me from one of them long before America knew he existed.
Although I had never before heard of him, at the time of this conversation Obama was 30+ years old and was obviously tested enough that he was their anticipated rising star.

PRINCE WILLIAM GIVES FAMILIAR SATANIC SIGNAL
http://www.savethemales.ca/141002.html
“Svali” is the pseudonym of the woman, age 45, who was a mind “programmer” for the cult until 1996. She was the sixth head trainer in the San Diego branch and had 30 trainers reporting to her. She has risked her life to warn humanity of the Illuminati’s covert power and agenda.
She describes a sadistic Satanic cult led by the richest and most powerful people in the world. It is largely homosexual and pedophile, practises animal sacrifice and ritual murder. It works “hand in glove” with the CIA and Freemasonry. It is Aryan supremacist (German is spoken at the top) but welcomes Jewish apostates. It controls the world traffic in drugs, guns, pornography and prostitution. It may be the hand behind political assassination, and “terrorism,” including Sept. 11, the Maryland sniper and the Bali bomb blast.
It has infiltrated government on a local, state and national level; education and financial institutions; religion and the media. Based in Europe, it plans a “world order” that will make its earlier attempts, Nazism and Communism, look like picnics. One other detail: these people are not happy.
Well he is from the Royal Bloodlines.
His mother is more Royal than Charles.
Her ancestry dates back to Charles I.
It is happening; and it is shocking to read. We must stand steadfast in the knowledge that the masses as they like to call us are becoming more aware of their atrocities day by day.
