In 1993, this photo of Belgian soldiers holding a Somali boy over an open fire shocked the world.
The soldiers were in Mogadishu as part of the UN-authorized Operation Restore Hope, supposedly there to protect Somalis and deliver humanitarian assistance.
The photograph became evidence in a military prosecution.
And what happened next was even more shocking.
In June 1997, a Belgian military court acquitted the two soldiers, Claude Baert and Kurt Coelus, of assault, battery and threats.
Their defence?
They claimed it was merely a “game.”
The court accepted that there was insufficient evidence that the boy had suffered bodily harm or that his life had been threatened.
The prosecution appealed.
In December 1997, the acquittal was confirmed.
Imagine being the Somali child in that photograph.
Imagine watching the men who held you over a fire walk free because a court decided there was insufficient proof that you had been harmed.
This is part of the history that disappears when Western military interventions in Africa are remembered only through the language of “peacekeeping” and “humanitarianism.”
Max Blumenthal: "Israeli intelligence hacked into the phones of young girls in Gaza to determine when their fathers would come home. Then they would order an airstrike on their homes and listen to the girls burn alive."
If this doesn't make you sick, nothing will. They turned murder into entertainment.
This is what a demonic society produces.
🧵 Ya ha empezado la guerra en Etiopía. Va a ser extremadamente complejo seguirla porque estamos hablando de +7 actores en acción y varios frentes simultáneos.
Hago este hilo donde iré colgando novedades:
Al-Qassam Brigades released a video of one of its fighters, 16-year-old Suhaib Lobbad (October 25, 2008 – September 7, 2025) targeting Israeli tanks
According to Gaza sources, after the Israeli army killed his father, mother, siblings, and his siblings children, he went to the nearest Al-Qassam combat position and insisted on joining them
Where were Pakistan, Turkey, and the United Nations when Saudi Arabia destroyed Sanaa International Airport and burned civilian aircraft with civilians on board? Where were you?
“The Reason we have a Thousand Military bases is not for military power, they're lily pads for Smuggling. That's how CIA smuggles GOLD, GUNS, DRUGS, CASH & SMALL CHILDREN for the Elites in the United States. War is a profit Center.”
—Former CIA officer Robert David Steele (2017)
This is Bernard Kerik, the NYC Police Commissioner during 9/11.
He travelled to Israel two weeks prior to the events.
He received a $250,000 unconditional loan from Israeli billionaire Eitan Wertheimer and was paid $236,000 for two years rent from October 2001 by none other than Steve Witkoff, both of which he failed to declare.
Wertheimer was on the Board of Governors for the "Jewish Agency", an organisation which surfaced in FBI files as the employer of Paul Kurzberg.
Kurzberg was one of the "Dancing Israelis" arrested for celebrating with fellow Israeli employees of "Urban Moving Systems", a likely Mossad front.
After being jailed on corruption charges, Kerik was pardoned by President Trump.
What are the chances?
Some of you don't know what it was like to be an adult in 2001 knowing that this was an op, seeing even your friends and family think that you're becoming paranoid and watching anyone with real knowledge who spoke up being ridiculed, pilloried, fired, and driven to suicide.
RIP to the 2,976 people that lost their lives on 9/11
And RIP to the 3.7 million people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine,Syria, Yemen, and Pakistan who paid the ultimate price for a crime they did not commit
Osama bin Laden denied involvement in 9/11 and said that jewish organizations, American jews, and U.S. intelligence did 9/11. He claimed the American system was “run by jews”.
