At 27:00 there's a stoned 'beautician' with a bad set of hair extensions demanding a 'jobs program', she looks and sounds just like an Obama voter.  

WOW.


and we think America is in trouble.

I bet there are areas of Detroit or East St. Louis you could film a similar type of documentary.

 

I'm only about 12 minutes into the video but I wanted to post really quick.  I can tell the director has never been to Africa.  They are being overly paranoid about nothing and I'm guessing told Bin Laden told them to leave his compound, not because they were being watched by strangers, but rather it was probably nap time or something and he wanted to end the interview and enjoy his newly found freedom.







 

Yeah, the part where he admits to forgetting insect repellant tipped that off.

I cant sell that pistol now, it's used.
 

At 30:05 mark the lady in the hat could pass for one of our Members of the House of Representatives.

The fact that he became a Pentecostal preacher after being a drug-crazed cannibal rapist warlord is like something from a movie.  If you made it up, people would accuse you of perpetuating stereotypes.

I said the same thing the last time this video was posted. Shane Smith is just some journalist from Canada who travels to fucked up places. How is he still alive?

Don't forget blaming the guns. They'll have no peace until they get rid of all the guns, he said. Gotta shift blame. Gotta simplify the cause and the solutions because humans have a hard time dealing with the complexity of social and economic problems.

He's a journalist.  His job is to make it sound like he's really in a fucked position.  Have you watched what the journalist have been wearing in Israel the last few days?  They are already wearing their battle rattle (Helmets, BA, etc.).  Do they really need too?  I doubt it.

I don't ever want to set foot on a beach again.

A good friend of mine was just over there.  He met and interviewed butt naked.  He went out to his compound where he rehabs his old child soldiers.  Pretty crazy story.  Butt naked had a come to Jesus moment and is for no kidding reformed of his ways.  

If there is interest I bet I could get him to join here and answer all kids of questions.  

Yeah, I am not too sure that having a former warlord as a member here is a great idea.

 

This

I once had a boss who ran for president of Liberia.  I think that he came in close to last ....  An odd country by our standards.

Not the warlord....my friend who has met him.

I'd enjoy it.  It isn't like inviting the guy to dinner.

That is one messed up country. In watching the video, I see the same entitlement attitude prevalent here in the US. It is sad that a country was made to repatriate former slaves and it turned south so fast. The narrator mentions that the former slaves started a slave business and society of their own. That is irony there.From the looks of the place, it has good soil and rainfall enough to move the population beyond less than subsistence. The sub-third world open sewers simply mirror the people.

I don't care if "Butt Naked" did convert. His crimes warrant punishment. It appears he has a small army laying in wait for the UN to leave. He labels it a "mission".

What did we (the US) get right with the founding and building of this country? Such failures as Liberia demonstrate how special this country is.

Me too.  Invite the warlord.  Wouldn't you want to pick his brain?  

Can someone clarify?

Is it General Buck Naked or Butt Naked?



I always thought it was Buck Naked?

... off the wall.

buckmeister

Hell, I'd be tempted to buy him a membership if I got to select his sigline and avatar.  

If there is room in heaven for a dude that used to sacrifice and drink the blood of children, got his child soldiers hopped up on heroin and cocaine so they wouldn't be scared in battle, and eating his enemy's hearts, then that sure as hell is one place I don't want to go.



 

If he's truly repentant, then there absolutely is. If you don't believe in forgiveness, though, maybe Christian heaven isn't for you.

We want the warlord.

Well,

The streets are guarded by United States Marines

It's gotta be one BAD neighborhood

Just sayin'

It's like some of the dumb dicks here in America that escaped their shit hole country because of the socialist or communist rule and then advocate for it here.

You just can't fix stupid crazy.

ah come on what could go wrong



 

Dangerous Places.  Fun reading.

I grew up in Monrovia from the time I was 10 until I was 15. Here are some random memories -

- The early ‘60's were considered the golden age for Liberia. Pres. Tubman had a firm hand and had pretty much ended inter-tribal warfare. The diamond mines, and iron ore mines were bringing in money for the govt., and by extension for the Americo-Liberians.

- There was only enough electricity for 6/7 ths of the city at a time, so the city was divided into 7 sectors and each was assigned a day without power. Our day was Friday.

- US gov. and DOD (us) had to order a months worth of food at a time, and then wait a month for it to arrive by ship. DOD employees were given an allowance, but USAID and DOS people had to pay for it themselves.

-No TV, one local AM radio station.

- Don’t drink the water. All of our drinking water was boiled for a half hour then filtered in large clay cisterns/filters. So many US employees got sick from showering in the local water USAID put up a water tower in the compound and a well. Still could not drink it though.

- The largest group of US non govt employees worked for Mobil Oil. They ran a small refinery, and contracted to run the city electrical system. Mobil Oil employees lived in better housing, and every time a Mobil tanker came in the got re-supplied.

- USAID ran a police academy about 20 miles outside of the city. Of the 20 US instructors, 18 were retired Detroit police officers. HaHa.

- My Dad was a USMC Captain assigned to the Military Attache office. The office actually covered 5 or so West African countries so there was a lot of travel. Sometimes my Dad would take me along. I once got to ride in a DC-3 owned by Firestone.

- When you’re 12 years old, talking to a 19 or 20 year old Marine guard is awesome.

- We were playing dodgeball in the parking lot of the embassy when a Marine guard came out and told us that Pres. Kennedy had been killed. We were told to go home and tell our Dads to report the main embassy office bldg.

- The US embassy in Monrovia is on the highest point in the city, with its back to the ocean, about 50 feet above the water. Perfect for USMC ship born units to practice helo evac. Never needed while we were there, but it was years later. Yes, we practiced getting into the helos.

- My Dad bought me a used Honda 90 moped because so many of the US kids had them. His rule was that I could ride it only on dirt roads, never on a paved road. We’ll one day a bunch of my friends decided to ride “downtown” such as it is and I went along, knowing I was in violation of the paved road rule, and that if caught I would feel the full weight of the UCMJ as administered by my Dad. I though I got away with it, until my Dad got home.
Here is what he said to me “I am disappointed in you for breaking my rule, but I am more disappointed to learn that you are so stupid as to think that a white kid with blonde hair riding a motorbike in a black city would not be noticed. “

I lost the use of the bike for a couple of months

- School was the Calvert school out of Baltimore. Lessons and books came once a month.

To this day my sister and I are grateful that we got the chance to live in pre-war Liberia.

At the time though we were not too happy that my Dad’s boss, a USN Captain (O-6) “asked” my Dad to sign up for a second tour.

After Liberia my Dad was assigned to a USMC training unit in Thailand. We he came home from his first day at work the first thing he said was “There is hope here.”

Pretty much sums up Liberia.

I'm confused. Is that Liberia or Atlanta?

And no one has ever hurt anyone because of alcohol consumption........right?

Cannibalism and infant rape go just a bit farther than simple harm, don't you think?  

Did you watch the video?  

The shit they describe is beyond ordinary crime - it's horror movie stuff.

In for General Butt Naked dinner thread!

That was a great video.
Thanks OP.

Did it taste a little like really lean pork?

It tasted like a charred hockey puck.  The beer was surprisingly good though.

Of all the African countries on the outs, I think Liberia has the most potential... that is if they can keep the crazies from outside, well, outside. It says something when you're one of 2 countries that survived the Colonization of Africa unscathed.

Gives new meaning to the term " you learn something new everyday " .

All I think about is Rhodesia, as hard as it to believe now, it was the 10th largest economy in the world.   Which was not bad for a small African country. Now Zimbabwe is an impoverished shit hole with no currency of its own, after their government destroyed it.  




 

Cause no one ever gets murdered in africa with machetes





 

My thanks too.  I checked out some of the other videos he's done and they are interesting as well.  The Mormon -vs- Mexican Drug Cartel was good.



 

Just as much as people have been hurt because of water consumption.



People are hurt because of other peoples actions.  Being on something does not absolve them of responsibility for those actions.  The person is to blame not the substance.



 

Where do you think "white meat" and "dark meat" come from??? OKOK bad joke, wow sad country. knew it was bad, but hell..

He could run for President here and get at least 20% of the votes.  Guaranteed.

Great post, thanks for sharing. Now, change your screen name. It's creeping me out.

Hell on earth.

My life doesn't seem so bad anymore.
