The Daily Sheeple

January 5th, 2015

This week the U.S. government and it’s pet mainstream media are telling us that two men are being charged in the U.S. with planning a violent overthrow of the Gambian government.

“The United States strongly condemns such conspiracies,” Attorney General Eric Holder declared in a statement. Yeah. That’s right. The government would never attempt a violent coup to overthrow another nation’s government.

A cursory search of articles on this unfolding situation just keep regurgitating the same standard facts, one after another — with a few bits that seem rather important noticeably absent.

Here’s more-or-less what’s being widely reported in the mainstream media (Reuters via The Daily Mail):

Cherno Njie, 57, and Papa Faal, 46, a former U.S. Army sergeant, will appear in federal courts in Baltimore and Minneapolis on Monday, the department said. The two men have been charged with conspiring to carry out the violent overthrow of a foreign government, it added.

Down in the details, we find things like:

About 10 to 12 people were in Gambia to try to overthrow the government “with the expectation that others in the country would join and assist them,” the department said.

The criminal complaint said that Faal, who had not lived in Gambia for 23 years, was approached by other conspirators in August. He agreed to join because of alleged vote-rigging in Gambia and concerns about the Gambian people’s welfare, the complaint said.

Most of the 10 to 12 people who entered the country to overthrow Jammeh came from the United Kingdom.

Njie bankrolled the coup bid and each of the men taking part was given $4,000 to pay expenses in Gambia. The conspirators rarely met in person and stayed in touch by phone and email, the complaint said.

Faal and two other men in the United States each bought eight M4 and AKM rifles, and about 30 weapons were shipped to Gambia. The group was also supplied with body armor, night vision goggles and other equipment.

Faal arrived in Gambia in early December after flying to Senegal, which surrounds Gambia on three sides, according to the complaint, which was filed in U.S. District Court in Minnesota.

The coup plotters allegedly planned to ambush Jammeh during his travels around the country during Christmas and the New Year. They decided to attack the presidential palace instead when they found he was going to leave the country on Dec. 26.

Lots of little things that haven’t really been mentioned by the mainstream press include items like the fact that Cherno Njie is the former head of the state of Texas’ tax-credit division.

Papa Faal was not only a former Army soldier but a member of the U.S. Air Force for seven years before that with two Master’s degrees who is pro-AFRICOM and pro-neocolonialism.

But even that’s not nearly as interesting as the largely unreported fact that Faal literally wrote a book on the 1981 Gambian coup d’état — the plot of which sounds exactly like the plot the FBI supposedly uncovered here and is now trying Njie and Faal for presently.

Here’s the description of Faal’s 2013 non-fiction book, A Week Of Hell: How Rebels Shattered the Innocence and Peace of a Nation – One Family’s Story of Survival, off Amazon:

While the Gambian president Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara was out of the country on vacation, a band of twelve renegades and civilians slipped into the tiny country of the Gambia in West Africa. The gang of rebels took over the government and held the president’s wife and children, brother, government ministers, foreign diplomats, and expatriates hostage while releasing the country’s most dangerous prisoners to inflict a frenzy of carnage and chaos. After a week of hell for the Gambian residents, the Senegalese military crushed the uprising under its great strength, freeing the hostages and sending rebel leaders on the run in the wake of its victory.

Hm. How has this amazingly ironic tidbit slipped the mainstream media’s attention?

Let me get this straight:

1981 Gambian coup plot in Faal’s book: a dozen people went to Gambia and attempted to overthrow the Gambian president while he was on vacation.

Faal’s current coup plan recently thwarted by the FBI: a dozen people went to Gambia and planned to overthrow the Gambian president while he was on vacation.

Am I missing something here?

Check out Faal’s Amazon author bio:

Papa Faal is from the Gambia, West Africa. He served in the United States military for ten years, spending seven years of his service in the United States Air Force with the 459th ARW, and three years in the United States Army with the 201st Brigade Support Battalion. He culminated his military service with a tour in Afghanistan. Papa Faal currently works as an information technology consultant. He is also an adjunct instructor with ITT Technical Institute and Brown College. Papa Faal holds a master’s degree in business administration and a master’s degree in technology management. He is currently pursuing a doctorate degree in business administration and information systems management at Walden University.

Are we really supposed to believe a former Air Force and Army soldier of a decade with two Master’s degrees who teaches at two colleges and who is working on his PhD is also so blatantly stupid, he would literally write and publish a book on a crime he was about to copycat the following year on the world stage???

The guy literally wrote the book!

The book, by the way, is supposedly a factual eyewitness account of what what former president Jawara’s family went through in 1981 and is in direct opposition to the story told by Kukoe Samba Sanyang, the ringleader behind the 1981 coup who recently came out of hiding after three decades claiming he is a Pan-Africanist and freedom fighter, according to Senegambian News.

You’d think the simpering media, members of which have admitted they only report on what they’re allowed to report on, would at least try to excuse this wh
