Hot Question of the Day #13
Given the atrocities that they have committed against the rest of humanity in the last five hundred years or so, by what right do Europeans invest themselves with the authority to lecture us about the sanctity of life?
Let us examine one instance:
Gérard Soete: I cut Lumumba into 34 pieces.”
“I cut up and dissolved Lumumba’s body in acid. In the middle of the African night, we started by getting drunk to have courage. We got rid of the bodies. The hardest part was cutting them into pieces with a chainsaw before pouring acid into them. There was almost nothing left, only a few teeth. And the smell! I washed three times and always felt like a barbarian dirty.”
Belgian Gérard Soete, 15 May 2002, forty years after the disappearance of Patrice Lumumba.
“Every time I heard the crack of a whip, my blood runs cold.
I remember on the slave ship how they brutalized our souls
Today, they say that we are free, only to be trapped in poverty.” - Bob Marley
