Yesterday (Wednesday 30 June 2010), The Sierre Leone War Crimes court issued a summons for super model Naomi Campbell.
Apparently she had accepted a large "Blood Diamond" from Liberian 'Lord-of-War' Charles Taylor at Nelson Mandelas house in 1997.
If this is the case, Naomi has let a lot of people down, who have, (despite the evidence), bent over backwards to defend her.
One now has to imagine what she knows that this world court has asked her to give evidence. In fact, if we look at her past behaviour, especially, when her luggage was lost on a BA flight. One has to ask, why did she go so ballistic on the plane, that the police were forced to remove her from the plane and put her in the cells.
Did she wear a cap with Nelson Mandela's prison number on the front, as a 'defence' mechanism', and to compare herself to Mr Mandela, and others who have unjustifiably been detained by a racist state?
If this is the case, this woman, is one of the most despicable human beings on the planet.
She is already a self-confessed cocaine and drug-head, but even her consumption of drugs would be no defense to this behaviour.
Now we have to ask the question, Was Naomi Campbell a "Blood Diamond" mule for Liberian tyrant, Charles Taylor? Was she "carrying" when she lost the plot on the plane? Indeed, if she was a Blood Diamond mule, who is the 'fence' and what was her 'reward' for her duties?
This case is definitely of interest to the public, because, the Sierre Leone-Liberian conflicts have both ruined and cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of people; created two or three non-functioning despotic African states; contributed to the creation of a whole slew of child soldiers; and most appallingly, created generation upon generation of contemporary slaves, in the form of "Blood diamond Slaves".
The proliferation of an entire war machine, and arms dealing empire, that has spawned many "Lord-of-War", is also a dignificant element of this case. The proliferation of arms, an the advancement of war in already vulnerable states, would then force us to direct questions to the British government.
What was their involvement in the Sierre Leone and Liberian 'wars'? Did they support Ms Campbell in here 'endeavours', or did they turn the other way, knowing that she was a risk to Britain's national security, and reputation?
The mind boggles on this one. One might even have to ask, why Ms Campbell's love life was so colourful? Does she have a natural penchant for white "European men" with their 'connections', or was she just happy to see them?
Did she suddenly make a shift to "Africans" or "Blacks" in some kind of sexual war-game, unknown to the public? Was she a tool used as a conduit by these white guys, to penetrate the African continent?
Does Naomi have a secret stash of "Blood diamonds" held in a bank vault, or even under her mattress? This is truely a fascinating case study.
Ms Campbell claims that she does not know her father. I can tell you that this is not true. I have seen her father, (who is a darker version of her), and he did not have the best reputation in the world. The same for the mother, she could be described as a 'soft' version of lady of the night.
But that's then, and now is now.
If Naomi did involve herself with Charles Taylor, were there others?
I think its time that Naomi told us all what she has done and what her involvement in "Blood diamonds" is. If she does not, she will find that the public will not tolerate it any longer, and she will be sent to Coventry(Sorry Coventry!) forever.
We no longer want to hear Ms Campbell's sad 'disinfected' life confessions on Oprah Winfrey. We want the truth. The world now wants this loose cannon to get real, get off her high horse, stop behaving like a 'Diva' and tell the World truthfully what you have done! If not, 'Naomi' will find, that one way or another, she will definitely be held to account.
In the meantime, we can only wish the Sierre Leone World Court good luck, and warn them to buckle up and brace themselves for this 'wild' trip.
