Siad Barre PRAYED to the LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST FOR ARMS TO FIGHT SNM & USC!

[Gilgamesh]

Apparently this happened at the height of the fight with the liberation groups, he begged the Evangelical Republicans in congress for support willing to go KUFR!

AMY GOODMAN: And Siad Barre of Somalia?

JEFF SHARLET: Yeah, dictator of Somalia. It’s, to me, one of the scariest stories that I found in their archives. I was able to recreate this, because they dumped 600 boxes of papers in the Billy Graham archives. Siad Barre was a —- not a likely candidate for Christian right recruitment, called himself a Koranic Marxist. But in the early ’80s, the Soviets had abandoned him. There had been a power shift between Somalia and Ethiopia. He was in the market for a new patron. And working through Senator Chuck Grassley, Republican of Iowa, of course still in office -—

AMY GOODMAN: Talk more about Chuck Grassley, who certainly is in the news now, who, together with Max Baucus, heads the Senate Finance Committee.

JEFF SHARLET: Yeah.

AMY GOODMAN: Baucus, Democrat; Grassley, Republican. Very powerful figure, especially around healthcare right now.

JEFF SHARLET: Indeed. And Grassley has been involved with the organization for quite some time, since the ’80s, when he traveled to Somalia to join Barre, Siad Barre, in prayer to Jesus. And he brought with him a defense contractor named Bill Brehm.

And Barre was a kind of a cynical character, as you might expect for a dictator. He was very clear. He says, “I’m willing to pray to Jesus, and here’s what I want in return.” He says, “I want my defense budget doubled.” He says, “I want meetings for my officials with the Reagan White House. And I want a sort of a hands-off policy while I crack down on some rebels.” Doug Coe, the leader of the group, wrote back, in essence, “Done, done and done.”

And when we look at history, so it was. And Barre used those weapons, supplied to him in part by the US, to wage a war of almost biblical proportion on his own people, from which Somalia has not recovered to this day. The Family doesn’t consider that a failure; they consider that God’s will for Somalia.

Where can we get access to the archive?

 

[$$$$]

The Children of the SNM opened a church recently for ictiraaf, and the sons of the USC beg for food aid from the merciful and gracious white gaal, and beg the gaala madow for protection from their own kinsmen. Barre has set a disgusting precedent.

Not sure, I think it might be a family owned thing where this Journalist got exclusive access.

[XamarCade]

This really proves how sick Siad barre was, he was a hard headed power hungry dictator. But the difference is can you criticize that Egal Jew wanna bastard just as much as I criticize Siad Barre? :siilaanyolaugh:

Jeff Sharlett was narrating an encounter not quoting Barre. He is obviously exaggerating the story.

but let's just give them the benefit of doubt and see if they're gonna condemn Egal just as much as I condemn barre, I don't want them to deflect the question that's why I condemn this "alleged " he say she say account concerning barre

 

[Netero]

Lol, is this deflecting from the Israeli letter

It's a great deflector because shirk is 10000x worse (especially as the representative for Somalia) than being a slave to Jews. I really hope that this is fake.

 

[dhegdheer]

Oh he's just being liberal

 

[TekNiKo]

Fake news, Siad Barre was a tremendous Muslim, great guy that Siad Barre, just great genes.

 

[waraabe]

He also begged the Israelis

He was a very desperate man

 

[Gilgamesh]

Very disgraceful if I say so myself. He wasn't really a believer in communism/socialism but he took it up as state ideology because he got shiny tanks now after the war he prayed to Jesus for more shiny tanks. Zero principles like some prostitute desperate for money.
