Observations

Troy Davis executed. America is to acquire a military base in Ethiopia. Now, we feel safe and secure--this is the America we knew for decades.Old South racism and executions of blacks. America vetoing Palestinians is not also knew. It is History. All this makes Obama's America a myth, a mirage, a page saver, not the real thing. America has joined China,Iran, North Korea and Yemen as the country that executes the most people. Troy Davis's case has many uncleared and unproven aspects. The young man jailed at 22 passed at least twenty years in prison/Death Row/ and this should have been enough punishment. But this was a black man accused of killing a white policeman in Georgia. Unpardonable crime. How long has Mumia Abu Jamal stayed in prison? What does the still open Guantanamo tell us? The central Iraqi prison and the torture? Obviously, America is comfortable with its old and imperialist face and the whole Obama charade of a new deal is just a mask. Talking of China being the top official executioner I recently saw a film on the land grab inside China itself. The eviction of Chinese farmers from their lands, their being beaten by party thugs armed with iron batons.No compensation too. If the Chinese can be this cruel to their people no wonder they are merciless in their land grab in Ethiopia and other African countries. The Chinese have been given permission by the Meles regime to beat up Ethiopian workers when they feel like it. The Chinese are also racist to boot. Ethiopian land has been grabbed by them and by Indians, Arabs and others too.Ethiopia is being ruled by traitors and insatiably corrupt scums.The only solution is a revolution, a removal of the anti people regime. The question of " Is China Imperialist?" is posed. My third point why is that Ethiopian political commentators have started to refer to Meles as Zenawi (his father's name) which is not his name in Ethiopia? In Ethiopia our name is not our father''s name but what the foreigners call our first name/prenom..
