TWAT OF THE WEEK: I KNEW IT…BONO IS A CUNT!!!
Once again I’m displeased with the state of the world, and this time my anger is channeled at U2 frontman and the man who would save humanity (or so he would have us believe), heres a fine example why you shoudn’t trust a word this smug twat says… Bono isn’t Jesus‘ second in command, he works for The Man. …Peep this article by Linda Herrick, for the New Zealand Herald.….dude’s always been suspect for me even if he isn’t directly involved…
Billions of dollars raised for African famine relief by celebrities Bono and Bob Geldof have instead funded civil war across the continent, says terrorism expert Dr Loretta Napoleoni.
London-based Napoleoni, in Auckland to appear at the Writers & Readers Festival, has written two books, Terror Inc: Tracing the Money Behind Global Terrorism and Insurgent Iraq: Al-Zarqawi and the New Generation, on the economics of terrorism.Her latest book, Rogue Economics, studies the destabilising effect of economic globalisation, focusing in part on why more than half a trillion dollars worth of aid sent to Africa since the 1960s failed to reach the intended destination - developing the nations’ economies.That huge amount of aid, which includes money from the United Nations and donations generated by Live Aid for Ethiopia, organised by Geldof, and the Live 8 concert in 2005, organised by Bono, has instead “served as a rogue force, notably as an important form of terrorist financing” in countries such as Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Kenya. Ethiopia, for example, received $1.8 billion in foreign aid between 1982-85, including a large contribution from Live Aid; $1.6 billion of that, she points out, was spent on buying military equipment.
“The money has ended up making Africa poorer and more violent because the money has been diverted towards warlords, weapons and armed invasions,” she says. “The problem of Africa is corruption.”
P.S - The Edge seems like an alright dude.
