Clearly, Jewish topnotch leadership infiltrated all systems via political and economical alliance whilst keeping their main goal in mind; securing their people from any external torture even if in "tooth and claw". Or if it means doing so to others as the Mideast Wars continually attests.
Through all this powerful groups, they also control as much of mainstream international media as much as corporate businesses and the entertainment industry. They have more than achieved the stated goals.
If Christianity played any role, then, that role is the continual use of Bible to support the Pauline mythical interpretation that the supposed messiah was not political failure for Jews but spiritual victory for humanity, first for the Jews and others called Gentiles.
Though typical Jews hardly identify themselves with the mythological interpretation, it bamboozles others for them. As Christian groups as citizens of other nations, seeing Israel as their proto-spiritual home where their Lord deity was born and walked, keep lobbying their national leaders on behalf of the Israelites as far as world politics is on the table.
In the end, you dare not touch let alone torture a Jew or Israel as nation on this planet. You openly point out their wrongs, you are tagged Anti-Semites. With and through their formidable groups, they have made their lives matter. What of the Black as a people and continent?
Black Africans Do you know of any formidable Black organizations steering continental and international political decisions to the benefit of Africans or the Blacks in specifically in this world? Religion is also political. Do you know of any religion that lobbies for Blacks interests specifically in world politics as they do for others?
No group of people had been tortured psychologically, politically, economically wherever they are as Blacks. Africans suffered slavery in the worst and longest form ever. It continues to-date. Yet no group of people had equally shown through their collective attitudes that they had learnt no lesson on the planet so far.
So that via our actions and inactions as George Santayana observed we keep repeating all that that exacerbates our sufferings. And to paraphrase Norman Cousins, Africa is trapped in suffering and suffering in Africa.
So that recounting the words of Albert Einstein, there are two groups of people in this world. There are those to whom everything happening is a miracle and others to whom not everything happening is a miracle.
In this respect, the moral evils of oppression and suppression of Africa are probably spiritual in origin to the Blacks. And psychologically and attitudinally, they are waiting for their miracle of liberation through their actions and inactions.
Conclusion At least given our huge natural and human resources, a formidable working unification could easily herald Black unity across the globe. Unity is defined by aspirations, realistic beliefs, and not mere occupation of the same land.
Our Africa Union in its current existence mirrors nations occupying the same landmass than defined by realistic aspirations and beliefs to make the lives of their people and Blacks in general better to matter on the planet.
It is as if the African topnotch leadership are still clueless to how to achieve the political and economical unification of the continent even though Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and co foreordained the blueprint. Of course, the unification faces real underground formidable divisive incisive opposition from the other groups afraid of Africa unity.
You should not be surprised that the mentioned powerful organizations on the planet are playing key roles. This is where we need the Africa masses to wake up psychologically and rally behind their leadership.
The worst is that our collective attitude as Blacks shows that we even believe our challenge is more of spiritual than political and economical oppression. Accordingly, as others switched to engage reality, we have come to seize upon their mythology as our only and only hope and the panacea to everything.
The problem of a "race", tribe or nation is not soluble in any mythology no matter the source thereof. Africa should be serious for once in her existence as person and continent.
Yes, Black lives matter. But more importantly Blacks should make it matter just as others had done. It requires switching to reality, pragmatic leadership with visionary outlook not this leave or give it to god mentality.
Should Africa exist just to be resisting oppressor's rule? When would our lives matter if all we could do is resist. It is not enough to be resisting the oppressor's rule, if you can, become the oppressor. When we become the oppressors, we shall also assume the respected phrase for it, Donor partners.
