After you watch my video please watch the documentary entitled A Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat. It’s on Amazon Prime , Apple TV, Google Play and can be rented on YouTube.
It’s about how President Eisenhower and the CIA used Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Nina Simone and others as U.S. intelligence operatives used to undermine Patrice Lumumba, the democratically elected prime minister of the Democratic Republic of the Kongo who was ultimately assassinated.
As Africans enjoyed watching these great American artists perform, their CIA-affiliated handlers were gathering intelligence to overthrow Lumumba. Apparently, Armstrong didn’t know that he was being used, but some of the artists may have.
Also note that Lumumba stated that he was not a Marxist, but an Africanist. He and Kwame Nkrumah supported a United States of Africa. Africanisn was a threat to the United States and Europe.
The subversive scheme that lead to Lumumba’s death worked to perfection, so why would the United States remove that play from its geopolitical playbook in 2025? They would not, and they have not.
