A Rant is as Good as a Holiday
This is an exceptionally good rant from Shahid Bolsen of Middle Nation. We get phrases such as Europe, specifically France slowly being worked out of Africa as a neo-colonial power, will be so broke that they’ll sell the Sistine Chapel on EBay. Lovely!
It starts with physical cleanliness and the comparison with whitewshing. I never knew there was so much to say. Nobody is spared. The theme continues. He talks about radical resource nationalism, i.e., the colonized have the ‘audacity’ to think that their own country’s national resources actually belongs to themselves and not to the colonizers.
A feast. Whitewashing does not actually make one clean.

i guess i am alone, but i am skeptical of his entire schtick. However, it is important to be skeptical of all internet pundits. I would say the more one agrees with a person wholeheartedly, the more skeptical one should be.

No doubts, Bolsen can have a very precise view of history regarding the western powers and its imperialist activities in Southwest Asia. Additionally, his views offer a good glimpse of the thoughts circulating in the Saudi Arabia and other Sunni-majority players in the region.
Absolutely fascinating – thank you, Amarynth. Surely one could argue that this guy Bolsen is doing a bang-up job of “whitewashing” too – IOW, propaganda facilitated by bare-faced omission. Notice that he mentioned pretty much every key plundering U$ imperial/exceptionalist in recent history – very nicely done on that score!… Read more »
This is not the only commentary that he has done Col. He is a social commentator fighting hard against hypocritical western views and he talks from a Muslim point of view. Today’s rant is as a result of the efforts by the African countries to get rid of France as… Read more »
Point taken, Amarynth – I agree with more than 90% of his comments, and so perhaps I was too harsh. My curiosity remains though, as long as he continues to give the Orange Wrecking Ball a free pass as we move into the most deadly and precarious phase of a… Read more »
