Again, an excellent post, many thanks.

He died in 2017 under suspicious circumstances. Guess what happened to him. In fact, he even alludes to it at the end of the interview.

I just heard from another subscriber that this guy was a bit of a white supremacist, so he's not completely kosher (or should we say Halal?). Anyway, maybe he deprogrammed from his imperialist indoctrination, who knows.

Perhaps it is true, but then again, few people, if any, are perfect. And his discourse in this interview fits perfectly with what we are seeing today. Mehdi Hassan is a good example of what Udo talks about.

Oh indeed, what he says here is spot on. That is why I uploaded it.

But I have zero, absolutely zero tolerance for racism. Even if someone's great on all other points. Too many on the anti-imperialist side say great things and suddenly that little nasty racism comes popping up. I will never be able to look past that.

I have not googled the guy on purpose so that I can leave the video on my page.

I agree, racism should never be tolerated. Does that mean we should ignore true statements?
