The Heart of Evil

If anyone has watched Lord of War with Nicholas Cage and seen the African Warlord depicted in the movie, you have seen a cinematic representation of former President of Liberia, Charles Taylor.

If girls are made of sugar and spice and all things nice and most boys of frogs tails then Charles Taylor is made of monsters breathe and Scorpions tails. The man is the very picture of evil. A warmonger disguising himself as a peacemaker, he backed rebels during the civil war who wove terror and fear through the hearts of Sierra Leone’s people. He smuggled arms, traded in blood diamonds, traded in humans, traded in death, raised child soldiers and a former aide said he even saw the man eat a human liver.

Charles Taylor was educated in America, after returning to Liberia and being dismissed from his government job for embezzlement, he went to Libya where he was trained in Guerilla warfare. Taylor returned to Liberia where he overthrew the government in the late1980’s, starting Liberia’s first civil war. After peace deals were signed, Taylor won ‘democratic’ elections in 1997. During his Presidency, Taylor backed the rebel Revolutionary United Front during the neighboring Sierra Leone war. He traded arms for diamonds and diamonds for arms, assisted rebels in murdering tens of thousands of people and displacing some two million people during the eleven year civil war.

Taylor has been on trial at the Special Court for Sierra Leone in the Hague, Netherlands since 2007.

Enter Naomi Campbell. Naomi Campbell is a witness against Taylor and is testifying about his gift of blood diamonds to her at a function in South Africa in 1997. Naomi Campbell (possessing the intelligence that only super models can) stated that the trial was a serious inconvenience for her and that she would only state that she received some ‘dirty stones’ from men she did not know. She also claimed that she did not know who Charles Taylor was.

Some people do deserve a RFS (Running F Slap) and Naomi Campbell is one of them. Never mind, looks like her testimony is being blown out the water by Mia Farrow and her ex- agent. Of course the retard knew who Charles Taylor was and what those dirty little stones were. Thing is, people like her are blinded by shiny objects and can’t be blamed for missing the monster behind the light.
