The Hoover History Lab held a new book talk with Stuart A. Reid: The Lumumba Plot: the Secret History of the CIA and a Cold War Assassination (Knopf, 2023) on October 17, 2023 from 12:00pm - 2:00pm.

United States-African relations have multiple dimensions, and quite a bit of history. One aspect involves coups. Almost immediately after Congo became independent from Belgium in 1960, the CIA station in Leopoldville, the capital, received an order from Washington that Congo’s new leader, Patrice Lumumba, should be removed. Congolese rebels, backed by the CIA, assassinated him. Joseph Mobutu, originally a Lumumba loyalist, eventually seized power, also with U.S. backing. Mobutu’s misrule lasted decades, and wreaked devastation. Stuart Reid has uncovered new documents and new aspects to this episode, which formed part of a larger story of the U.S. in the Cold War in what was then called the Third World.

The bold behavior and actions of African/Black traitors in service of White Hegemony. Some African will do anything for money and acceptance from Euroasians including using an African child as cannon fodder.

There are moments in history when a people decide they have had enough. Moments when silence becomes betrayal, and fear gives way to fire.

Chief Tola Adeniyi, former Editor-in-chief of the Tribune takes us back to one of those moments, the dark, combustible days of 1965 in Nigeria’s Western Region. A time when politics lost its soul, elections were twisted, and the will of the people was trampled under the weight of power. The result was chaos. Streets burned. Trust collapsed. A nation trembled.

It was called “Operation Wetie”—a phrase that is a warning bell across generations.

With the burden of memory, Adeniyi draws a chilling line between that past and the present. He reflects on the patterns of power, the dangers of electoral manipulation, and the fragile line between order and anarchy. In his view, history is watching for an opportunity to repeat itself.

As Nigeria moves under the leadership of Bola Tinubu, he raises a question that refuses to go away: are we learning from history, or are we rehearsing it?

Just arrived back in the United Snakes from Ghana, and it’s not the same. there's an old place like Africa for Black = Afrikan. Afrikan is now and forever home for me

America wanted to use spain to kill women and children in Iran they were told to use their own land to do it.

Great playing, track and arrangement from JJ Johnson. You tend to forget he is on trombone when listening as his tone and delivery is so smooth like Trumpet. Milt Jackson and Ray Brown are also present.
