I am commenting on this situation that the american and european media are deliberatly ignoring and not speaking on. These Somalis are NOT pirates. What has been reported rather quietly is the fact that European nations are, and have been for some time now, dumping their TOXIC WASTE off the coast of Somalia and causing great distress to the Somalis. This TOXIC WASTE includes everything from MERCURY to RADIOACTIVE material. This WASTE is killing their FISH/SEA LIFE industry, POISONING their waters even to the point of not being able to swim in it, destroying the industries that depend on clean seas: salt industry, tourism, fishing, etc etc, not to mention THE HEALTH REPERCUSSION BEING CAUSED BY THESE TOXINS.
The REAL TRUTH is now cast in a NEW AND BETTER LIGHT...as these so called "PIRATES" are the equivalent of ENVIRONMENTALIST trying to stop this ILLEGAL activity by the Europeans and americans. Sadly but expectedly the media from Europe and America are MUTE on this matter. I am now all for the so called "PIRATES" taking over even bombing these ships to smithereenes to get this dumping to stop. America has been dumping its garbage in countries like Kenya, Ghanna and even South Africa for YEARS!!!! becasue it does not want to have to deal with its own GARBAGE. The French are conducting radioactive bombing tests in the South Pacific and have been the cause of rampant leukemia, cancer and deformities amongst the people of the South Pacific where prior to these atomic tests there was NO SUCH DISEASES. A gentleman by the name of Gabriel Tetiarah has been teh representative of a coalition of nation Islands in Polynesia. The people of the Samoa, Fiji, and various other Pacific island nations have been meeting witht the UN for years now trying to get the French to stop this POISONIG of their water and land and bringing attention to the massive amount of cancers, leukemia, birth defects and other anomolies that are caused from all of the radiation....
