Some facts on the Congo Free State under a Evil king
Belgium
was created in the 1830s under Britain's flawed undemocratic constitution of the
time,
It needed palaces to placate 2-faced monarchs to not interfere politically,
The
dynasty uses cash and some influence to allow it to do what it likes as of influence
in Belgium, to mount it's own greedy, get rich scheme,
It starts the African
land grab, & overtime conquers Congo,
It claims its attacking rampant
depopulating East-Congo's Arab slavery,
But it was really just part of a plan
to annex land,
As there were requests for territory around the world, by this
terrible king,
The 1st base on the Congo cataracts of 1879-81,
Near
the French's 1880, Brazzaville,
A friendlier colony,
The white hatted &
suited explorers,
And African slave porters of here forces, in 100s,
Then
row, & climb, past Earth's strongest waterfall,
17000cubic metres a second,
louder than them shouting, 60metres high Buyoma,
Which falls like a collapsing
hole, with forest aside, and extends with other falls too,
Extending for 100
km, of 7 major things,
Slave porter's machetes cut through mangroves, half
deep in water,
With scary animals a threat like lions, & crocodiles,
As
they can really not, know what is beyond, I mean maybe a wide river,
They reach
through into many tribal capitals, of the many 10s of tribes in this region,
Of
many resources,
Past jungles, & dirt & leaf covered edges of villages,
of straw huts,
The forces then use guns & deals to ally local tribes,
And attack ones who refuse to ally,
And for ones who just accept, they
must start giving & trading resources,
And in most cases an increasing
amount of tribute conscription,
And then local forces used to oppress others,
And ones from Belgium to get them to greedily produce for them,
Musket
battles slaughter many tribes, of their battalions,
They ally cannibal's skull
pavement bases members, who are eating kills,
There were many invasions
& 10s of wars,
& revolts against brutal European rulers taking over
regions,
Or against pliant local rulers doing their evil bidding,
Or using
prior war ways,
A major victory was when it crushes the East Arab capital,
1893's,
Walled Kasongo of 50000 people,
Who were rice eating, with petals
falling around orchards,
And was selling slaves E to Tanzania,
They beat
the E's area Batetelas, in 1897-9, where it burns dancers, & such,
The
Kuba chiefdom lays leapordskins before dignitaries, passing hut villages, elephants,
The elephants with bird on them eating,
& making them claim like they
do for many animals, even if annoying some,
It resembles the fictional Barbar
the elephant's talking animal giraffes,
Rainforest palace kingdom,
Who
built palaces, fire engines, & British style buildings in the jungles,
Of
course there were some similarities like this,
But really turns into British
or Belgian systems were never this extreme,
Or maybe the great coolest ivory
white stone town, bird on white windowsill,
Of some towns,
As
yellow, with black spots all over, cheetahs in the garden,
That are thin with
lean muscles all over, on skinny bodies,
That are very fast,
With also leapords,
in their gold and black,
Growling angrily when cornered, but getting speared,
But
able to kill people, and lots of deer,
And lions, quite tame, for a while,
that would have been a very rare occurrence,
Also growling, in their yellowish
gold ways,
And with their yellow hair on their main,
Growling just like
those other species, in terrifying yells, and yelps,
And cries, of the loud
growl, that scare anybody nearby, able to let off the terrifying cry,
In their
cat-like way terrifying,
And after eating left over remains of people from
wars,
They may have been in scenes like this by such buildings & ways,
Jungley
Katanga too, down in the South East of Congo,
Earlier saw the Basanga tribe
revolt destroyed the 10000 people Bounkeya,
Copper trading town, which was
Katanga's lead area, for a while,
They sent trade to Angola, and Zanzibar along
routes before,
Before the Belgians were in control, but not that many years
before,
The Basangans were the centre of the copper production,
And were
angry at African oppression,
But more at European terrifyingness,
Also
there was a North East tribe, which had leapordskin robes,
It had for instance
tribal wars over insulting leader's dogs, which saw terrible crises,
It despises
'little, crop haired barbarians', Arabs/Whites,
Whose battles capture it's
vassals, & vanquish it,
Misty hot upper Congo's silent jungle clearings,
See some in boats whether colonials or not seeing jungles on the other
side of the river,
Of each side,
Narrowing in some points,
The trees
half deep in the water,
With monkeys on one side, chimps on the other,
Making
their shrieks for territory & such,
The tribe believe in gods of clear
water,
Also in the North, I some times use N for north, S for South W for
west and E for east, in the articles in this Lonympics history network, I wish
I had not know, but I corrected most of those entries on these, articles, for
that,
There are Light-dark skinned Monbuttu, overlording,
They sell/eat
enemy corpses' fat, in some areas of the North East,
Luxuriant landscape's,
jungles, darker-skinned's tribes,
Have populations in straw hut & roof
villages where Women wear loin cloth or nothing,
And men's bark cloth girdles,
around the waist & body,
There are many potters,
North Neighbours darker,
Girdle-like
skins, are worn, & long shields,
There is rampant polygamy, in the
conical huts,
Which sit in jungle clearings & trade knifes,
&
axes such for neighbouring tribes goods, sometimes fighting small wars,
Minstrel's
'monotonous' mandolin-like guitars,
Are played for getting resources by
some, & entertainment, & such,
The East's volcano's, include a bubbling
lava lake, in the crater,
With in the North East, a mountain range of snowy
mountains, beyond the jungles,
Which border Uganda,
And were mentioned by
Greek geographers, in the 150s, as mountains of the Moon,
While Egypt had traded
with Nubia, down to Pygmies,
Included in the mountains, are pineapple head
style plants,
Surrounding clearing of yellow grass,
And some ranges of
dense mosses covering trees, and roots, they cover all the trees,
Of dense
roots, so it looks like another world, or something,
And some palm tree,
looking, Hollywood looking plants, in the cloud forest,
With long trees, of
green, dark, bushes,
And high up some Alpine meadows, of long bushy green grass,
With
rocky Everest style rocks, up at the top, overlooking long lines of clouds, and
snow,
On the black rocks, nearby, and dark blue sky,
And in some areas
of clearings there are rectangle style huts,
Which have smoke rising through
roofs from cooking, of straw roofs, & such,
I have already mentioned villages
on sides,
Of the muddy Congo river which are of conical clay, & straw
roofs,
Which have some tribes in them,
And some look out onto plains of
bushes that rise like low fountains,
But most keep away from the thickest
jungles of elephants & chimps, etc.,
That I have already mentioned with
their watery greens, & beauty,
Not the dark muddy greens of the conical
hut area,
Colonials use servants of locals who are black,
Use machetes
to cut through a couple of metres high mangroves, & such,
Like that, wearing
boots that are waterproof, even rubber soon,
And traipse allying to others
aswell, mapping out with compasses where they are,
Settlers, & their
troops & mercenaries
And colonial business leaders made tribes collect
wild rubber, & other products,
But normally & in most places exclusively
that,
When they took over the areas,
Who cut hands off killed 'beasts' as
many called the locals, slackers,
To show superiors, mass slavery enforcement,
With many chained up to do building real digging, & climbing,
As
their was a hierarchical structures up & down linking these groups,
Of
wanting more money & sending reports of how they had got it,
They see some
Belgian elite aristos & new rich do disgusting things,
Like some behead
villages for sweeping yards ineffectively,
And there are huge mansions near
areas of jungles,
In many cases the local dynasties also colluded with this
brutal system of rule,
And forced their citizens to do these things, by
the old royal systems, of threat,
& forcing people to obey, or die,
As
if they were going to be executed,
And if the kings refused, they used brutal
tactics that they were told off,
& were replaced by more pliant leaders,
Who
could do the same to their people,
After mass exhaustion, & used as brutal
tactics, & used ways to make them obey,
If they were not getting enough,
from them, just get more,
& see the population die off, as of this exhaustion,
Undoubtedly
brutal measures could be brought in by the leaders, from Europe,
In some jungles
some tribes are believed to have believed in an unusual monster,
It turns out
too be a rhino, not a dinosaur as some were wishing, there,
Which rushed about
the forests,
As some people look at the photos and say that is the monster,
A
creature some say had not been in their areas for a while,
While others say
it is a elephant,
So maybe it is not a surviving dinosaur, or the largest of
the long knecked dinosaurs,
But all big animals, not seen by some for a while,
But
then again Native Communities seem to have thorough knowledge of local wildlife,
And
could barge down people, called the angry one, & aggressive one,
Also there
was very rampant sleeping sickness, killing 100s of thousands,
Spread by the
exhaustions of work & such, & disruption of the way they worked,
It
made the monarchy very rich, pleasing their adoring fans,
The women kidnapped
at times so villages of men would work,
Chained up by white or other tribe's
black gun holding guards,
Standing over them or keeping them somewhere,
With
populations worked sick to death,
And men tied to branches & whipped
for not working hard enough,
By unhappy looking forces of black troops stood
over by white Belgian elites,
In the quest of making money,
And rapid depopulations,
The
sleeping sickness, was then spread into Chad,
Where there are plains of orange
& brown like oil paintings, of flatness,
And Sudan, then later Uganda,
You
could blame the Belgian invasion for that spreading too,
And people had
boiling stuff poured over them,
Aswell as whipping bloodily entire millions
of forest villagers,
Publicly to make them do these, burning whipping &
tying people up,
Men, women & children's hands were chopped off,
In
one case a slave woman, was forced to carry the hands of punished people,
Many
people who were mutilated, lived, but not long in such a terrible society,
But
many of the cut hands were from people killed to prove the dead were dead,
In
some examples slave woman with less hands put in the bags than expected,
Were
beaten,
Somebody recognised their sisters hands in a example,
Where the
ways were, there, sadly,
A army of European heads, & 19000 troops, many
of which were African mercenaries,
But never them getting any great strength,
doing this enacting,
The hostage women made to work as slaves,
And once
700 seen chained together,
Shipped in an open longboat rower down to somewhere,
for this,
Sometimes troops mutinies,
& killed the evil bullying snobby
leaders, but not enough times,
As the Belgian monarchy could use its power
to buy more mercenaries,
Or gun them down,
From a whole continent that
was easy to get a hold of,
When you hold through hierarchies,
Of white
mansions, local leaders, & European troops & technology,
And happy
to be there mercenaries, & ones afraid, the whip hand over these people,
The
troops asked to feed themselves by slavery, but get paid,
& told what
happened to them if they revolt,
And see what happens, & may even get
deals, to make them work harder for more cash,
Some mutineers just emigrated,
But
as you could expect, many were as they were seeked out be willing links in the
chain,
But we all know whose evilness was responsible for this,
And the
leaders of the battalions were always Europeans,
Or people who met the great
Satan,
An example again was this,
People were hoeing the fields, &
heard a band of men were coming,
They made the chief summon everyone,
And
then made the women search the fields, for food,
Then the men were made to
march too, somewhere,
And many killed for not marching fast enough,
Someone
said they would as easily behead a chicken as us people,
With the goods made
shipped up to the European continent,
Up the river, & past posts,
And
entering Belgium's ports,
There was a huge 20/30million down to 8million
population fall,
So probably 10/22 million deaths, from 1879-1918,
As
before or normally there could have been increases in population,
I would guess
17.2million,
And what about all the Arabs they killed, that would minus
any refugees from here stats,
Or just as importantly refugees to here from
wars,
& natural increases in population of normality,
And the fact
it would be impossible to flee from this round huge land,
Without catching
diseases & dying in this empire,
Especially as the land was surrounded
by wars,
Who would have had people fleeing to here,
And most were unable
to flee as hostages, & as of getting real sickness, illness terrible sickness,
And transport was normally impenetrable,
Even for the coolies, who would
not have seemed a threat to tribes they passed,
And would not have had ties
holding them back, or ancient enemies,
Well there is no good evidence of
mass refugees,
And not enough anywhere else to dishearten,
My massive
statistic against the evil of this land,
Well over 92% before the key 1908
date,
And most of the fall after then, maybe all as of the disruption,
And
such & still rampant diseases caused by the policies brought in here,
So
that is a very good estimate,
So about 8.6million in each C, & actually
19thC worse,
40-65% of those upto 1918, in 1875-99,
Plus also 1000 foreigners,
including Europeans, & West-Africans, & Chinese coolies,
Some of whom
were sighted very far E, in W-Tanzania, escaping from the evil empire,
A mission
town, fell from a high in early colonisation, of Catholics from 40000-1000,
As
it was purely about making money for a fiefdom of the super rich guys,
The
GDP sank,
So firms, No restrictions, & no real style tax, is a catastrophe,
Kingly
rule was so bad,
Europe's capitals criticise Earth's worst state,
All
this was unknown & any criticisms of the depravity going on,
Unbelieved
till Morel 1900s, calculated company's ridiculous profits,
Only sustainable
by slavery,
He saw that investment for the massive profits for royalty,
&
some other later backers were massive,
And that the only investment seemed
to be guns & ammo sent from Belgium,
Condemning the idea that this was
what the Belgian leadership to be,
He sent out 3600 letters, & 15000 newsletters
condemning the regime, & books,
Getting stories, into his own as a employee
shipping lines, & offices, and Britain,
And formed a newspaper,
He got
some info from some secretive people inside Congo,
Who got past censored post
offices, inside the land, by coming back on ships,
Getting some missionaries,
info,
But not many as they had been crushed in the 1890s, for minor criticisms
of the regime,
And feared being evicted so did not give much about here, really,
As
a campaign went massive with more media,
& socialists & libs, &
some Tories, world-wide,
Campaign launched,
Which included the Irish
Nationalist Casement helping this English fellow to campaign,
It got in the
media with Christians, & socialists campaigning massively against it,
Similarly
in the land to the West, of far less people,
A less devastating but still
terrible story,
Brazza beat French Congo bosses' tour avoiding oppressive sights,
Saw accidentally still chained slaves,
Which was a bit like the discovery
here,
The French had been pushed by the Belgian wine & dining,
'Are
we rich not the best',
'Oh all lefty policies are dreadful types of people',
'You really must meet my dictator friend from Hungary he is a wonderful fellow,
Its' dreadful what the utopian liberals say about him',
'Oh look at
those moth eaten people what a terrible people',
'Hhmm what tasty human pie,
is it not wonderful to have servants & staff, style people,
Of oppression
there,
Into creating a similar colony, which saw maybe a million die of uopped
exploitation long term on conservative estimates, and Germany's Cameroon Kaiser
led lands too which saw possibly a million possible less die in upped exploitation
too, both saw the evil Belgian king as a major shareholder,
So in 1908,
Belgium annexes the Congo Free State,
And begins less oppressive, but still
unfair slightly French ways replacing the old plunder,
This land was a country
117 times Djibouti's size,
Now the Belgian state,
Which was owed debts
to the company paid huge cash to the evil enactors of this plot,
Who sadly
were not punished but feted by the evil rich servant owning elite,
And the
disgusting humans who support that sort royalty,
And the hero Morel in future
joined the Liberals, then the Labour P,
In Britain which was growing,
And
was elected a conscience making MP, but Casement had a worse future,
Being
jailed, & treated like a scoundrel by horrible elites, for nat ways in Ireland,
The
new regime ups mines,
And replaces plantation/unprofitable mid-rainforest/swamp
whip slave mansions,
So forced labour reduces rapidly, & the population
stablises,
But it remains a poverty land,
With little done to help locals,
& allot of unjustness still going on, even some suppressing of revolts,
It
is seen that within a few decades the empire, was being glamorised in Belgium,
And
even museums, in Congo were filled with pro-Satanist royal colonisers propaganda,
So
some were taught to believe here they brought civilisation,
When they brought
the worst era this area could possibly imagine,
With history books in 1950s
Belgium calling critics of the regime,
Which took the lands in the 19thC,
Jealous,
with the leaders undemonised, & claims that it was a humanitarian effort,
How
horrific,
Despite it in the plunder era buying slaves for military service,
on masse,
To help enact terrible plunder on other slaves,
Even in the 1980s
Belgian socialists who mentioned these atrocities,
Were condemned by royalist
imbeciles, all people who support the Belgian Royals today, should have some guilt,
but of course royalists are psychopaths who never ever feel genuine horror for
their undemocratic beliefs sins,
And also some evil museums, still support
the horrific acts in the Congo,
But not in areas decolonised,
With
information astonishingly still covered up in the 2000s,
And all to support
the image of evil royalism,
With it only being remembered around Europe, &
all Africa, in the 1990s,
With new books, when the evil Belgian monarchists
remembered it as a great,
In the 2000s, it began to be known as the worst
genocide, in Africa's colonial history,
As history books, in the 1930s-80s
of the world barely mentioned it,
Even though people then thought it would
be,
But there was a semblance of knowledge across the world it had been bad,
And
that Belgium had had the worst, but only among the minority of people who studied
it,
And even among them there were rightist royalists racists,
Who did
not think about the horror,
And were more interested in other things, which
killed far less,
And forgot about this, as much as the whole world, & Belgium
had till the 2000s,
Along with the Indian & Chinese famines, of the late
19th Century,
As of evil, & other things,
Some in the Congo free
state in the late 19th Centuiry betting they could kill someone from a distance,
Also winning gambling on it for cash,
With natives hit through the head
in these horrors,
And many African women used as concubines, so hell on Earth,
But
it was still remembered & a shocking indictment of colonialism,
By the
heroes of the left, & the great heroes, defeated that, and still remember
it today,
It can also be remembered that in Britain's invasion of Uganda
a bit later, many died, of diseases which partially were spread by activities
going on in Congo, like sleeping sickness was a disease being upped in veracity
by actions in Congo, and it spread to Uganda,
