The most important assassination of the 20th century - Patrice Lumumba

[Hawaiian Punch]

Going back on topic here, I said this before that the 60s were some of the worst times in American History. The one thing not being mentioned with him being killed is the natural resources of Congo. Keep in mind that the Congo is where Uranium was mined for the first nuclear weapons. Hiroshima and Nagasaki come back to this place .

Lumumba wanting to change policies may not have been the issue, but siding with Russia is. If Russians get those uranium mines it's a devastating to the US, so Lumumba has to die. Crazy thing is his death in January of '61 probably set in motion Bay of Pigs in April of that year. How close the world came to ending during this time...

Just going a bit more in my last post the US and Belgians had an agreement since world war 2 to purchase uranium from the Congo. That agreement expired in 1960, the same time Lumumba came into office. It's crazy how this moment and his death does shape the world.

It is already known that uranium from Congo, which was under Belgium`s colonial rule, was used in the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs, but it is the first time that details of the secret agreement between Belgium and the United States have emerged.

During World War II, the United States purchased about 30,000 tons of uranium ore that had been mined in Congo from Belgium for close to 100 million dollars. It continued to purchase uranium under this agreement after World War II during the Cold War.

The United States also engaged in consultations with England to stabilize its supply of uranium, and in August 1944, it entered into a secret agreement with the Belgian government in exile in London for the right to buy the uranium. At the time Belgium was occupied by Nazi Germany.

The agreement documents stated the reason for supplying the uranium as the protection of civilization. They said that the United States and England had the exclusive right to purchase uranium for military use, and that both countries would fund the extraction of the uranium.

In addition, the documents stated that the countries would supply Belgium with technology for the peaceful use of uranium in the future.

The documents gave code names to the radioactive substances. Uranium oxide was "Q-11," and radium was "K-65." It was decided that these terms would be used in import and export documents.

Between 1945 and 1960, when the agreement was deemed to expire, uranium imports totaled about 15,000 tons.

russia has nukes. and many other countries do too. i don't see why that's really a problem. if they wanted uranium they could just buy it.
Lumumba came to the United States for help and that's when they could've struck the deal. the racist administration instead didn't want to meet with him and that's when he went to the russians for help.
russians were helping with their situation. the Congo ppl don't give a shyt were the help came from. help is help at the time to get devils out of their country...

I've never heard that evil communist country russia using nukes or weapons of mass destruction on other countries..

so just ASSUME he was gonna end up a dictator and consider his assassination not important...

yeah because the article is written in some messiah type stuff to build the argument that this was the most important assassination of the 20th century, so we have to explore the question of how much potential he had of being a messiah for africa

Let's be clear here man, Russia may have never used nukes but the Cold War was about the fear of that. Yes many countries have nukes, but not every has Uranium. As far as buying uranium, really breh?. It's not about buying the resource, it's about controlling distribution. See oil and the Middle East.

Let me add this as well

In 1960, he became Congo’s first democratically elected Prime Minister. However, his government soon became embroiled in the Cold-War rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union. Many believethat Washington, fearing that Lumumba would attach uranium-rich Congo to the Soviet sphere of influence, tasked the Central Intelligence Agency with organize a coup d’état against him.

It's like y'all don't get it man . When Lumumba went to the UN for help, Moise Tshombe seceded the Katanga province and declared it an idepdendent state. Why is this important? Because that is the most mineral rich region in the Congo and the rebellion was backed by Belgian forces. The US would not get involved because of the previous agreement the US and Belgium had to mine uranium from the Congo. The US didn't care about lumumba at this point because they would still have access to the resources in Katanga. Once lumumba went to Russia for help this set off red flags, because the US knew Russia would be strong enough to stop the rebellions and have control over those uranium resources. Hence lumumba had to die.

just got done watching this. cacs are something else I tell ya.
everything lumumba did the devils were going and saying he writing his death sentence.
it's crazy how these cacs played the homie is how they play everyone else. they have a world media campaign against them to brainwash ppl then go in on them and have their own ppl kill them.

are any of you guilty of the brainwash?

@theworldismine13

Prime Minister Lumumba first turned to the United States for help getting the country on her feet after independence but President Eisenhower turned him down.

so in other words why pay for uranium when you can just take it...

Isn't that what Iraq was about? Or are you still hoping we find weapons of mass destruction?

Dude those fear tactics don't work for me. I'm just outlining what led to the assassination, nothing more. Believe me breh I see the forest for the trees.

to non-africans and negropeans who support american imperialism it might appear to be "some messiah type stuff"....
