When Mandela was freed in 1994, did anything change for the impoverished, segregated Africans? NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!
THIS TIME, with the election of Obama, GLOBAL things MUST change that counter the corporate global agenda. When people get uppity: I mean disenfranchised people creating waves and then their candidate is actually elected, it does not guarantee that things will change, it only guarantees that your candidate is in office. You are then temporarily relieved. Your sigh of thanks leaves an opening for your opposition to act behind the scenes.
WHO OWNS THE GLOBAL MEDIA??????
WHO owns the gold in Africa? It is not the people. They are thankful for the vote, YES, but what has really changed? DO THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH AFRICA OWN THE NATURAL RESOURCES OF THEIR COUNTRY? Do the Iraqis own the natural resources of their country? Do the Palestinians have water rights?
After all the tears dropped and smiles flashed, will we see the change we need as humanity? I hope so but be vigilant. The color of South African leadership changed, but the status quo remained...the imperialists still owned the gold that is dug up by the African people to whom it belonged as their sovereign nation spoils. They never saw a penny of it after Mandela came to power. They never got their running water, roads etc... The world was pacified at the point where Mandela came in. No further questions. We stand in danger of being pacified by the election of Barack Obama, let us foment RESULTS this time people. I want him to be the fabulous leader that you want too, but there is a shadow element to everything...as bright as Obama shines, look for the darkness and light a candle to expel it. VIGILANCE.

News of freedom
Reaches the Valley of a thousand hills
In South Africa,
The power changed from white to black
But the disenfranchised
Still didn’t get that much back.
Yes, they got to vote again in the land of their birth
And this false sense of freedom
Is going on all over the earth,
For huge conglomerates everywhere,
Are ripping out the people’s resources
Disguised as altruism and care,
Scooping up the lion’s share.
