In a jaw-dropping move straight out of a leftist revenge fantasy, a Brussels court just ordered 93-year-old Étienne Davignon — a former European bigwig and junior Belgian diplomat back in 1960 — to stand trial for “war crimes” tied to the 1961 execution of Congo’s fiery Marxist prime minister, Patrice Lumumba.
The charges? Unlawful detention, transferring Lumumba to his doom in breakaway Katanga (where he was shot, chopped up, and dissolved in acid), and denying him a fair trial. No direct murder rap — just “indirect” involvement. The guy was basically a 27-year-old intern shuffling papers!
But here’s the real bombshell the mainstream media will scream about: The United States of America — under President Dwight D. Eisenhower himself — gave the explicit order to take Lumumba out!
Declassified docs and eyewitness testimony from NSC meetings confirm it: In August 1960, Ike straight-up said “Lumumba must be eliminated.” CIA Director Allen Dulles got the memo, wired station chief Larry Devlin that “the removal of Lumumba is an urgent priority,” and the agency even cooked up poisoned toothpaste to do the job (yes, really — Sidney Gottlieb’s poison plot).
Lumumba, a Castro fanboy and Soviet darling who wanted to turn Congo into Africa’s Cuba, was arming up with Russian planes and trucks. Washington saw a communist domino about to fall in the heart of Africa — and acted.
Belgians and CIA-backed Mobutu handled the dirty work on the ground, but the kill order came from the top in Washington. Eisenhower’s “green light” set the whole chain in motion.
Now, 65 years later, woke European courts are putting a frail nonagenarian on trial for “participation” in events the U.S. government deliberately triggered to stop a Soviet takeover. An American victory that the globalists have never come to terms with. Even 65 years later, America must be symbolically “defeated”!
This isn’t justice — it’s a show trial to punish anyone who stood against communism during the Cold War.
Lumumba’s elimination probably saved millions from a Soviet satellite state armed to the teeth. But today’s globalist elites would rather prosecute grandpas than admit the West won that round for a reason.
What do you think, America? Should we apologize for stopping an African Cuba… or celebrate the men who kept the Reds out?
Share if you’re sick of historical revisionism!
