Oh My GOD, what in the name of hell is going on here??
Ben Affleck is visiting refugee camps in war-torn eastern Congo, where at least 250,000 people have been displaced by recent fighting, and says more aid money is needed.
The actor has visited the Central African country four times since 2007 and also has made a documentary about its problems.
“I’m not an expert in international affairs or diplomacy, but it doesn’t take that to see the tremendous suffering here,” he told The Associated Press on Thursday in Goma, the regional capital. “It’s not something that we as human beings can, in good conscience, ignore.”
Bennie, Benzo, Bentard… Son, I used to like you. You and your heterosexual life partner Mattie made a gorgeous little movie, a shitpot of money, and all of a sudden you’re an expert on international affairs? I don’t think so.
Yes, almost the entirety of Africa is one huge stinking cesspool of corruption and failure, and we have been pouring money into it by the C-130-full since the dawn of fucking time…kindly notice it hasn’t made one eensy bit of difference. Hell, the pirates in Somalia are credited with rejuvenating that “country’s” “economy” with the ransom money they bring in. And honestly, since they’re countrymen, they have a better chance of bootstrapping that shithole than do we over-privileged whities.
So, son, why don’t you recall the fact that you have a tiny child at home, another one on the way, and remove your amateur ass from the firing line. You want to save Africa? Well, Africa has to want to save itself first.
Yeah, how come “trickle-down” economics is working in Somalia and not here?
I’m just waiting for BHO to say it again, “trickle-UP” economics. He needs a good five-across-the-eyes for that and so many other whoppers.
Joan of Argghh!
