vice-president Jd vancewhich previously distributed conspiracy theories on the The lives of blacks count Movement, said on Saturday that his leaders and supporters should celebrate President Donald Trump because he “had done more to save dark lives than any leader in our country”.
Trump described Matter’s dark life “Haine symbol“And called his supporters”thug. “In 2020, Trump deployed the National Guard On the people of Washington, Protestant DC against the police murder of George Floyd. He allegedly said demonstrators“Can’t you just shoot them?”
The idea of Vance appeared in the context of the peace agreement between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, which was negotiated by the United States and Qatar on Friday. “The peace treaty which reported yesterday between the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Rwanda was really historic”, it Written on Blueskywhere he is the most blocked account. “This war has killed more than any other since the Second World War, almost all black.” (He seems to think of the number of deaths of the Second Congo War, which ended in 2003.)
He continued: “I am sure that the leaders and supporters of the Black Lives Matter movement will join me to celebrate President Trump today, who did more to save black lives than any chief of our country.”
He then tagged New York Times The opinion columnist Jamale Bouie. Bouie has become a target From Trump and Vance when he wrote on the “blood and soil nationalism” of Vance, a Nazi slogan.
The Trump administration has helped to facilitate the peace agreement in order to access minerals in the region. It is estimated that the Congo has minerals of a value of up to 24 dollars.
“They went there for many years, and with machetes – it is one of the worst, one of the worst wars that whoever has ever seen. And I just had someone who was able to settle it, ” Trump said Friday.
“We obtain, for the United States, a lot of mineral rights from the Congo in this. They are very honored to be here. They never thought they would come.”
Congo is a source of key minerals, including cobalt, copper and coltan, as well as diamonds and gold. Last year, Congo criminal complaints filed In France and Belgium, accusing Apple subsidiaries of using “blood minerals” in its products.
“These activities have fueled a cycle of violence and conflict by funding militias and terrorist groups and contributed to forced children’s work and environmental devastation,” said lawyers in the Congo in a statement.
The Trump administration has harmed Africa a lot by closing the American agency for international development and by reducing more than 90% of its foreign aid contracts.
In response to the USAID reductions to efforts in Congo, the anti-pauvet organization Oxfam said in a statement“The health of up to 1 million people could be threatened due to the impact of this decision on the work of humanitarian agencies in the DRC. We will be forced to reduce the vital water and sanitation services, increasing the risk of spreading cholera, measles and mpox. ”
Trump’s foreign help cuts have harsh The president’s emergency plan for the relief of AIDS (PEPFAR), which saved tens of millions of lives. According to a recent study,, The millions should die Following these cuts in countries supported by the Pepfar, which include Congo.
Vance previously tied up the conspiracy theory according to which the insurance companies and the founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, supported Black Lives Matter because it enriched their companies. In a room in 2021 in the American spirit called “Fighting Woke Capital”, he explained that “waking capital is when companies and businesses are more invested in a movement like BLM than in traditional American principles, and they are.”
He said that the insurance companies had funded the Black Lives Matter movement, the theory being that Black Lives Matter damaged businesses and goods, then insurance companies would refuse to cover these complaints. (We don’t know why it would be lucrative, if it was true at all.)
“Now, who benefits the most when the small businesses on rue Main are destroyed?” He asked. “Who wants to see their competitors incapable of providing goods and services to people so that they have it delivered to the Amazon box? Jeff Bezos. There is a direct link between the awakened capital and the looting that occurs in our company today. The people who are invested in the destruction of America via our business class are also rich. It is an important element of the puzzle to understand.”
In 2020, Amazon gave $ 10 million to social justice organizations, including Black Lives Matter. But the supposed reason of Vance for these gifts and its representation of manifestations as a campaign to destroy goods have no basis in reality.
