Hidden From The Western World The Ugly Face Of Sin
By Al Cronkrite The Covenant News ~ September 26, 2007
English filmmaker Michael Caton-Jones has made a movie about a real-life incident during the 1994 genocide in Rwanda entitled “Beyond The Gates”. It stars John Hurt as a Catholic priest who lived in Africa for thirty years and was the director of a Catholic school and Hugh Dancy, the idealistic son of a well to do British family, as a young teacher at the school.
Caught in their compound by the vicious crescendo of violence that overtook this tiny nation and surrounded by Hutu killers, the priest and the teacher along with a couple of dozen other white refugees and over 2 thousand Tutsis were kept safe by United Nations troops until the troops were ordered out. The young teacher joined the evacuation which was confined to white Europeans but the priest stayed with his parishioners. All who stayed joined the 800 thousand to one million whose dead bodies littered the terrain of this Maryland sized nation; most were gleefully hacked to death with machetes.
It would be hard to imagine a more graphic display of the rampant evil that often consumes those who live outside of God’s legal system; the French Revolution with its Guillotine blades slicing through hundreds of thousands of human necks might have come close but even then the bodies did not litter and rot in the roadways.
Estimates are that over 800 thousand Rwandans were slaughtered in about three months. Although the government was controlled by Hutus, it was couched as an interracial conflict between the minority (15%) more wealthy ruling class Tutsis and the majority poor and less powerful Hutus. As the mass killings were in progress the United States and the United Nations failed to label the carnage “genocide” and did not intervene to stop it.
Africa, like the Middle East, has been vigorously exploited for a couple of centurie by powerful Westerners who covet its valuable resources. Their goal is their own enrichment and their means are callous, amoral, and conniving. Germans ruled Rwanda from 1890 till the end of WWI, they were replaced by Belgians, both favored the Tutsis, and neither had a high regard for human life or suffering.
It all began following the downing of Hutu president Juvenal Habyarimana‘s Falcon Executive jet at Kigali airport on April 6th, 1994. Tutsis were blamed for the assassination, the presidential guard deployed throughout the country setting up roadblocks and used the media to urge the killing of the hated Tutsis.
It was French influence that required all Rwandans to carry ethnic identification cards and these cards made Tutsis easy targets at the roadblocks.
When the massacre was over, a U. S. backed rebel force called the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) took over the government and installed Paul Kagame, a Tutsi, as head of the new government.
A sizeable body of opinion holds Kagame responsible for the downing of Juvenal Habyarimana‘s airplane at Kigali airport.
In 1996, 120 thousand people were being held for criminal responsibility in the genocide. Trying that many criminals would take a lifetime and many of the guilty were released.
The United Nations, manipulated into allowing the genocide, now convenes the court trying those who have not been released. Read about it here.
As with the majority of news coverage in United States, the entire story was never properly investigated allowing the official version to stand unchallenged. Canadian Frenchman Robin Philpot lived for a time in Africa and has expended considerable effort in ferreting out the truth. As might be expected it is quite different than the generally accepted version. Read Philpot’s extensive research here.
Former UN Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali wrote: “The U.S. effort to prevent the effective deployment of a UN force for Rwanda succeeded, with the strong support of Britain.” Robin Philpot writes, “For the British-American tandem, strategic imperial interests prevailed over human life, and especially when those human lives were African”. He goes on to conclude, “Here is where the second crime committed in Rwanda lies. It is the cover-up and the protection of those responsible for the tragedy. The means deployed have been impressive. These include an International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the massive dissemination of a “right and proper tale” that together created a group of good Rwandans and another group of horrible Rwandans, who are worse than the worst in modern history, the Nazis”.
I am a big fan of Peter Jackson’s movie about J. R. R. Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” not because it is a specifically Christian movie, it is not, but because it delineates decisively between good and evil. Michael Caton-Jones’s “Beyond the Gates” is equally as successful at depicting evil - unfortunately, good has not yet risen.
Justice is the path to peace; evil always produces chaos and disagreement. The current Rwandan government which is feted in the United States is hated by those who understand it. Canadian general and former UN peacekeeper in Rwanda, Romeo Dallaire, has authored a book entitled “Shake Hands with the Devil, The failure of Humanity in Rwanda“. He and Rwandan president Kagame have made the rounds of talk shows, college lectures, and social events in the United States and Canada.
There is evidence that during the genocide United Nations personnel in Rwanda were on the United States payroll and received their orders from clandestine U. S. operatives. Dallaire worked for the UN and may have been paid by the US. Read about it here.
Christians in the United States are not privy to the ugliness of the wars they support. They are not forced to look at the mangled corpses, see dogs tear at the flesh of the newly killed, or breathe the suffocating odor of decaying human tissue. They have never witnessed blood-ugly gangs frenzied with the excitement of hacking their fellows to death. The programs supported in our more sophisticated societies are just as deadly but easier to sustain since those with the power to sustain them do not have to witness the results.
Women who abort their babies and citizens who support their rights are not forced to look on the torn and burned torsos of the tiny God-imaged creations whose lives they have ended. Stalin and Mao did not walk among the remains of the millions of human beings they were responsible for killing. President George W. Bush has never seen military combat, he has not seen women and children murdered because a terrorist might be in their midst or a fellow soldier whose legs have been blown off by a roadside bomb. He has never lived among children who are starving to death, smelled their stench, or know the terrors his soldiers and his bombs create.
Except for the direct participation of United States troops, what happened in Rwanda in 1994 is eerily similar to what is being attempted in Iraq today. Though so far unsuccessful, the United States has attempted to set up a puppet Iraqi government similar to that of the RFP and Kagame in Rwanda. In both cases indigenous antagonistic factions are at each other’s throats creating chaos and mayhem with large scale civilian casualties. Time will tell how the aftermath of Iraq works out but there is no doubt about the US intent.
When God’s Laws are torn from the Christian religion and it is taught as a pietistic, ritualistic, exonerating faith, the behavior of those involved is not dependable. Christians made up about 70 percent of the Rwandan population in the early 1990s; about the same percentage as in the United States. However, under the fragile Christian exterior lurked a resentful spirit and tribal characteristics that needed only fanning to produce murderous violence.
In the United States a similar thing has occurred but since the results are not visible here, few understand its significance. American Christians are largely responsible for the genocide in Iraq, Israel, and soon Iran. Muslims have been demonized and characterized as vicious enemies and like the blacks in Africa their lives no longer have value. Bloodthirsty US Christians cheer as Israel kills or evicts the inhabitants and steals Arab land. They applaud the bombing and shelling of innocent civilians in Iraq and are eager to do the same in Iran. All president Bush needed to do was fan the resentful belligerence to produce murderous intent.
When God’s Laws are not taught and installed in the social order they are regularly violated by those who have not learned to love and respect them.
The United States invasion in the Middle East is a little like the advent of abortion. Both are deadly to God’s created beings and the results of both are hidden from the American people.
United States is being used as an instrument to bring about Satanic world government. Christians who accede to the designs of Satan hoping for the return of the Savior are sorely mislead and have become willing soldiers in the Devil’s army.
United States wars are all about world domination. There may be other temporal objectives but hegemony is at the base of it all.
