THE USA IN GHANA AND NIGERIA

Ghana - by Wieland Koerbel

"The US Africa Command is now at war on the continent of Africa.

"And not surprising, the war is about oil." (AFRICOM Goes To War In Africa -m)

Ghana made its first big oil find off the coast in 2007, and turned on the taps in 2011.

Reportedly, Mossad and the CIA are very active in oil-rich Ghana and Nigeria.


There is a fear that Ghana could become a failed state, just like Nigeria.

Politicians in both Nigeria and Ghana have their armed militias.

The CIA used militias to get control of the oil in Libya.

On 28 January 2012, at modernghana.com, Lord Aikins Adusei has written:

"Azorka Boys and Bamba Boys: the coming Boko Haram in Ghana?"

According to Adusei:

1. Nigeria's former head of state General Olusegun Obasanjo predicted that Nigeria would be counted among the 'ten leading nations in the world by the end of the (20th) century.'

But, Nigeria has become a failed state.

2. Professor Wole Soyinka, in a BBC interview, described the Boko Haram terrorist group as people from the Islamic madrassas, armed and employed by the elite in the north.

Ghana by Eli Shany אלי שני

In November 2011 some top people, including Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume, were arrested after it was discovered that they had met and supported Boko Haram.

In January 2012 President Goodluck Jonathan announced that members of his own government were supporters and sympathisers of the Boko Haram terror group.

3. In the south of Nigeria, politicians also have their armed militias.

These militias steal ballot boxes and carry out assassinations.

The Area Boys attack their political opponents, rob oil tankers, and kidnap oil workers for ransom.

Ghana by Eli Shany אלי שני

4. In Ghana, the ruling NDC have their Azorka Boys.

The opposition NPP have their Bamba Boys.

The Azorka Boys and Bamba Boys are 'violent and lawless thugs' working for certain politicians.

During elections they are supplied with weapons.

Brig. Gen. Robert Ferrell, U.S. Africa Command C4 director; Maj. Gen. David R. Hogg, U.S. Army Africa Commander; and Brig. Gen. Joseph Searyoh, director general of Defense Information Communication Systems, Ghana Armed Forces

5. Ghana's problems include:

Corrupt politicians, civil servants, judges and police.

Extreme poverty and inequality in the northern part of Ghana.

Politics based on tribe and religion.

A failing educational system.

Massive unemployment.

ISRAEL - GOOD AND BAD NEWS

Arab citizens of Israel are growing fast in number.

On 21 January 2012, The Economist reports that the promised land needs people:

After the Soviet Union collapsed, one million Russian Jews emigrated to Israel, bringing their money with them.

In 2020, there were only 17,000 emigrants to Israel.


Ultra Orthodox by ybiberman

Today, the fastest-growing population groups in Israel are:

A. The Arabs

B. The ultra-orthodox Jews. (Haredi) a

66% of working-age ultra-orthodox men don't work.


The ultra-orthodox oppose Zionism

"The vast majority of ultra-Orthodox men in Israel do not work or serve in the army, choosing instead a pious and largely impoverished life of studying religious texts...

"With birthrates three times the national average, Israel’s ultra-Orthodox communities are mushrooming...

"Ultra-Orthodox Jews, known as haredim, now number about 700,000, or about 10% of Israel’s population..." (Men at work? t)


Ultra Orthodox by ybiberman. The ultra-othodox are growing fast in numbers.

In 1960, 15% of Israeli schoolkids attended Arab or ultra-orthodox schools.

Now it's about 50%.

By 2040, it will be 78%, according to the Taub Centre, an Israeli think-tank.

Azerbaijan

The Economist also reports on Israel and Azerbaijan: Odd but useful allies

Azerbaijan is a Moslem country.

Israel gets about 33% of its oil from Azerbaijan.

This comes via a pipeline through Moslem Turkey.


Azeri girl by LovelyDaisy2011

An Azeri company is being allowed to drill for oil in Israeli waters.

Azeri-Israeli trade has grown fast.

One of Azerbaijan's biggest mobile-phone providers is a joint venture with an Israeli company.

In 2011, Israelis and Azeris, in a joint venture, began to produce drones.

25% of the population of Iran are Azeris.

There are reports that Israel is helping train Azerbaijan's forces.

WHAT IF ENGLAND DID GO IT ALONE?

What if England did go it alone? MI6 Online

Leading friend of the London establishment Andrew Woberts says England is begging to keep Scotland as part of the UK.

A bankrupt economy, no more North Sea oil revenues...

By Andrew Woberts

If Scotland becomes independent:

1. The first problem the Prime Minister of England would face could be a weakening of the English economy.

2. The Scottish currency, like the currencies of Switzerland and Norway, would be strong.

The last set of figures from the statisticians show that for 2008-9, Scotland provided more in revenue to the London government than was spent in Scotland.

3. Scotland would keep out of NATO and its wars.

4. Scotland would be non-nuclear country, just like Switzerland.

5. Scotland's tourist industry would be boosted.

The two main political parties in Scotland are Labour and the Scottish National Party. fronta.cz/propaganda/fasisticka-italie propaganda-plakaty-letaky-druha-svetova-valka

There are 90 million people of Scottish origin in this world.

Scots are much sought after as managers in large international companies worldwide.

There are some Scots who are not wise leaders and they tend to end up associated with the Labour Party, which for many years ran Scotland on behalf of their London masters.

Norway's sovereign wealth fund is Europe's biggest equity investor.

Norway has saved $430 billion for the future.

Norway has invested heavily in infrastructure.

Finland is even richer than Norway and it does not have oil.

Finland produces mega-liners and modern technology.

Both Norway and Finland are small independent countries.

The Labour Party is the party of the rich oligarchs. Image from: 2012 Olympic Games +++Updated+++

Scotland should be as rich as Norway and Finland, but it is not.

Scotland still has vast oil wealth; Scotland has about 25% of Europe's renewable energy resources; Scotland has a history of producing great inventions.

Scotland is 'poor', because many of its people vote for the Labour party, the party of war and poverty.

Labour failed to control the corrupt bankers.

Labour wasted billions on wars.

Labour wants to waste £100 billion on a replacement for Trident.

Labour took Scotland's wealth and spent it in the South East of England on motorways, railways, the underground, airports and other projects.


In January 2010, a report by the UK government's National Equality Panel pointed out that the gulf between rich and poor in the UK grew wider under the Labour Party than at any time since the Second World War.

The report says that inequality in Britain is among the worst in the developed world, with the highest rate of poverty in western Europe.

On average, children born in the poorest areas will die 13 years before those in the richest.

The richest 10 per cent of families have assets worth an average £853,000 - almost 100 times the £8,800 average wealth of the poorest 10 per cent. (Gulf between rich and poor grown under Labour and now widest since WWII - Daily Mail )



Margaret Thatcher was kept afloat by Scotland's oil.

James Callaghan was saved by Scotland's oil.

Tony Blair and Gordon Brown have survived thanks to Scotland's oil.

Who benefits from Scotland's oil?

Not the people of the Calton area of Glasgow where the average life expectancy of a male is just 53.9 years.

This is lower than in most Third World countries. (In Iraq, life expectancy is 67. Minutes from Glasgow city centre ...)

It's Scotland's oil. And more than half the oil is still to come.

The Scottish media, controlled one suspects by the London spooks, have produced a deluge of dishonest stories attacking the Scottish National Party.

Scotland gets less public spending per head than London and many other regions of England.

Tax revenues from Scotland more or less match the country's public spending, if all North Sea oil and gas revenues are taken into account. (Research, published by the Glasgow Herald, based on Treasury figures in Whitehall, an analysis by consultants Oxford Economics and the newspaper's own calculations.)

Something called the GERS report "demonstrates that Scotland recorded a current budget surplus over the three years to 2007/08 of £2.3 billion, while the UK ran up a deficit of £24 billion over the same period." (Falklands could benefit from own oil)

UK civil servants calculated that North Sea oil could boost incomes in an independent Scotland by up to 30%.

This is according to government records made public, 0n 28 September 2009, at the National Archives of Scotland in Edinburgh.

Oil ownership would boost income by 30% / Documents reveal that oil could mean an independent Scotland

The Scottish National Party's Brian Adam commented: "Scotland’s oil industry has a bright future with an estimated 30 billion barrels of oil still to be extracted, new technology developing and a central role in the global oil industry.

"There is as much oil left in the North Sea as has been taken out of it – and much more than half of the revenues.

"Scotland’s oil industry has a positive future.

"With the UK making £250 billion of revenue from North Sea oil over the last 30 years in real terms, it is now time to ensure that future revenues are invested properly for Scotland’s future."

OIL OWNERSHIP WOULD BOOST INCOME BY 30%

Labour has ensured that Scotland is 'poor'.

Ramsay MacDonald (1866 – 1937) was the typical Scottish Labour politician.

Macdonald married Margaret Gladstone, a lady of wealth.

With Ramsay MacDonald's first government there was little in the way of 'change'.

The government supported bosses against their workers.

One of the government's first acts was to use of troops against an engine drivers' strike.

TURKEY, FASCISM, OIL AND GAS OFF CYPRUS

Turkey

Dilsat Aktas is a young lady who climbed onto an armoured police-carrier in Ankara, in Turkey.

She was protesting against the death of an activist.

The police broke Dilsat's hip.

Turkey and human rights: bad

It is claimed that over 500 students are now in prison for demonstrating against Recep Erdogan's ruling Justice and Development (AK) party.

Around 76 journalists are now in jail.

Around 47 lawyers have just been arrested.

The CIA wants Libya, Egypt and Tunisia to copy Turkey.

Turkey and human rights: bad

Why is The Economist telling us this?

Have they turned against Erdogan?


In 1974, the CIA arranged for Turkey to take over Northern Cyprus.

The sea between Cyprus and Israel-Palestine-Egypt is reported to have vast reserves of natural gas.

Oil and gas for Cyprus and Israel: Where there's gas, will there be a pipeline?

There is talk of co-operation between (Greek) Cyprus and Israel to construct a pipeline to transport gas to mainland Europe.

This would compete with pipelines from Russia and central Asia.

Turkey says that (Greek) Cyprus has no authority to search for oil and gas while Cyprus is divided.

Turkey is doing its own exploration off the coast of (Turkish) Cyprus.

The Turkish military is guarding the exploration.

Reportedly, Turkey and Israel are not the best of friends.

MOSSAD AND THE CIA IN NIGERIA

Goodluck Jonathan shakes hands with Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi in Nigeria, 8 January 2010.

Both China and the USA-NATO take an interest in Nigeria's oil wealth.

On 5 September 2011, we read about Mossad and the CIA in Nigeria.

More Bombs have been going off in cities in Nigeria.

(AQIM Link To Suicide Bombing Of UN Building In Nigeria‎ /Bombs detonated in strife-torn city)

Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan may now have agreed to Mossad and the CIA carrying out a probe Nigeria's spooks. (MOSSAD and CIA to probe Nigerian security agencies)

Reportedly the Mossad-CIA probe will be led by Moshe Ram, the Israeli Ambassador to Nigeria.

Bomb attacks in Nigeria are usually blamed on the 'Islamist' group called Boko Haram, which is believed to have links to al Qaeda, which is believed to be run by the CIA and its friends.

NORWAY, RUSSIA, OIL AND GAS

Dub alerts us to:

21 July 2011 - "A treaty between Russia and Norway paves the way toward bilateral energy work on the arctic continental shelf...

"Oslo and Moscow enacted a treaty July 7 regarding cooperation in the Barents Sea and Arctic Ocean...

"The July 7 treaty allows both sides to explore for oil and gas on the arctic continental shelf...

"Arctic resources could contain as much as 13 percent of the world's unexplored oil reserves and 30 percent of unexplored natural gas."

Oslo, Moscow review arctic oil and gas

"Norway officially expanded its territory in the Barents Sea this week, when its newly agreed offshore border with Russia took effect just over a year after a breakthrough in lengthy negotiations with the Russians was announced.

"Now a Russian researcher thinks Norway can tap into more oil and gas resources than it’s enjoyed in the entire North Sea."

Norway now bigger in the Barents

Image from: Why the West Can’t Resist This Norway Massacre Psy-Op

Richard Cottrell is a TV journalist and former UK Conservative Member of the European Parliament.

On 25 July 2011, Richard Cottrell, in his blog, suggests that Oslo is Down to the New World Order

Richard Cottrell suggests that the Norway Attacks are designed to force Norway to change its policies.

The attacks are designed to force Norway to follow the policies of the US-Israel-NATO alliance.

It's all about regime change.

According to Cottrell:

1. The Norwegians are out of line across a whole range of US/NATO policies, including the Palestinian recognition issue and Libya.

Norway has stayed out of the European Union.

Norway has socialist protectionist methods of running its economy.

Norway's economy is successful and beyond the control of Wall Street.

Norway refuses to open its protected oil, gas and fishing grounds.

Israeli companies and interests are not welcome and, just before the bombings, two Israeli firms were thrown out of the country.

2. Other European countries also have doubts about the US-Israel-NATO policies.

As poll after poll demonstrates, the Spanish would vote solidly to march out of the alliance tomorrow afternoon.

3. Norway is more than a nuisance.

So the result is the Norway Attacks.


Image from SS&SS

4. Starting about eighteen months ago, the US and NATO began planting agents in the Norwegian police, security agencies and the military.

Similar tactics have been traced to Denmark, Sweden, Poland and Portugal.

5. The Norway Attacks are straight out of the Operation Gladio manual of false flag terror.

It is the Strategy of Tension.

All the telltale indicators are present.

A. The usual confused patsy.

B. Witnesses insist they saw other shooters in action.

C. The police were messing about with real bombs and explosives in downtown Oslo just 48 hours or so earlier.

Gladio units were fully behind that.

6. Israeli intelligence is certainly in the frame but so is the New World Order.

Aside from the US and NATO, there's the IMF and the World Bank, and the corrupted international bankocracy.

NATO is the global military arm of the US and various western interests.

7. The object is to cannibalize Norway (exactly like Libya).

8. As Michael Ledeen is supposed to have once said, to ‘take a small country and slap it against the wall, just to show we mean business.’


Richard Cottrell's new book is Gladio: NATO’s Dagger at the Heart of Europe will be published by Progressive Press this autumn.

LIBYAN ATROCITIES

Belgian UN troops admit to roasting a Somali boy

The CIA's coup in Libya is all about stealing oil.

And helping the arms trade and Wall Street.

And removing Chinese influence.

And giving the USA control of North Africa.

On 9 March 2011,at Global Research, Professor Michel Chossudovsky has an article entitled "Operation Libya" and the Battle for Oil: Redrawing the Map of Africa

Among the points made:

1. Libya has the largest oil reserves in Africa.

The idea behind the US-NATO coup is to control that oil.

And take over Libya's National Oil Corporation.

2. And help the weapons producers.

3. And remove Chinese influence.

China plays a central role in the Libyan oil industry.

The UK's Clegg and Cameron seem to support the CIA coups.

4. And help Wall Street.

Billions of dollars of Libyan financial assets, deposited in Western banks, are to be conficated.

5. And give the USA control of North Africa.

This means weakening French links to Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria; and other parts of Africa such as Niger and Chad.

And weakening Italian links to Libya.

Victims of the Belgians

How do Europeans behave in Africa?

A Belgian officer described a raid to punish a Congolese village that had protested against Belgian actions.

The white officer in command: "ordered us to cut off the heads of the men and hang them on the village palisades, also their sexual members, and to hang the women and the children on the palisade in the form of a cross." (Mass crimes against humanity in the Congo Free State)

It's not Libya that has murdered up to two million Iraqis.

Gaddafi wants an international fact-finding team to visit Libya to investigate alleged atrocities committed during the present troubles. (Tripoli calls for atrocities inquiry)

~~~~~

Baghdad is victorious!

Why were the USA and UK in Iraq?

China has been granted a license to develop Iraq’s largest known oilfield.

"The three largest Chinese oil companies are already gearing up to bid for 11 other oil and gas field contracts in Iraq that will be auctioned off later this year."

http://www.forbes.com/2009/07/07/china-iraq-oil-markets-equity-cnpc.html

American forces have now departed from all Iraqi cities.

As the Americans left there were chants of "Out, America, Out!" and "America has left! Baghdad is victorious!"

Lion's Den: Good-bye, finally, to Iraq's cities

Was the UK in Iraq simply to kill Iraqis?

The UK defence secretary has agreed to a new investigation into the deaths of 20 Iraqis in Basra in 2004.

UK concedes new Basra death probe

The UK government had told a court that the dead were killed on the battlefield.

But it admits that it has failed to provide enough evidence of this to the court.

"(The government is proposing) an investigation of the murder of Iraqi detainees... and specific allegations by five Iraq nationals of ill-treatment."

It has been alleged that Iraqi civilians were detained following "the battle of Danny Boy" - a clash between British soldiers and Iraqis near the town of Al Majar-al-Kabir, in Maysan Province, on 14 May 2004.

Lawyers for five Iraqis have produced evidence supporting allegations the captives were taken to British base Camp Abu Naji, where they were tortured, murdered, and their bodies mutilated.

USA seeks to control Honduras?

Honduras by ZackClark

The USA is keen to control Honduras?

The USA helped topple President Zelaya?

Honduras may have lots of oil.

"Norway's Petroleum Geo-Services plans to explore for oil off the Caribbean coast of Honduras, according to an agreement signed in Tegucigalpa." (Norway Company Explores for Oil in Honduras.)

Zelaya upset certain oil companies. (Honduras temporarily grabbed Exxon, Chevron terminals.)

What has been happening since Honduras's President Zelaya was toppled in June 2009?

The US State Department has not recalled its ambassador from Honduras.

The USA has not cut off aid to the new regime in Honduras.

According to a BBC report, "Washington is not keen to use its clout to help Mr Zelaya return to power."

General Romeo Vasquez, who led the Honduras coup, was trained in the USA.

US treads careful path on Honduras

America's CNN has had an interview which attempts to blacken Zelaya's name.

"Every night, three or four Venezuelan-registered planes land without the permission of appropriate authorities and bring thousands of pounds ... and packages of money that are the fruit of drug trafficking," Honduran foreign minister, Enrique Ortez, told CNN.

"We have proof of all of this. Neighboring governments have it. The DEA has it," he said.

Deposed Honduran prez accused of drug ties



Zelaya

Ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya is soon to be in Washington.

Will Obama or Clinton make the effort to meet with him?

No.

Have Obama and Clinton blocked aid to the bad guys in Honduras?

No.

(Zelaya faces arrest in Honduras as protests rise)

State Department spokesman Ian Kelly has said that Zelaya is due in Washington to attend an emergency meeting of Organization of American States (OAS) foreign ministers.

Kelly said Clinton was not scheduled to meet Zelaya, either at the OAS meeting or privately.

A State Department official said Zelaya was expected to meet Thomas Shannon, the outgoing assistant secretary of state for Western Hemisphere Affairs.

This meeting would not take place at the State Department, an official stated.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs confirmed that Zelaya would not meet Obama.

Kelly added that the US government is currently reviewing US economic aid to Honduras, but has not yet taken a decision.

Zelaya faces arrest in Honduras as protests rise

Honduras

In 2008, Manuel Zelaya, the president of Honduras, openly called for the legalization of drugs as a way to tackle drug-trafficking violence.

(President of Honduras Calls for Drug Legalization Cato @ Liberty)

Reportedly, the CIA and elements of the CIA-backed military in Honduras have been involved in the drugs trade.

On 29 June 2009, the CIA reportedly used the Honduran military to oust Manuel Zelaya, the democratically elected president of Honduras.

Venezuela's President Chavez said troops in Honduras temporarily detained the Venezuelan and Cuban ambassadors and beat them.

Hugo Chavez has accused the CIA of playing a role in the coup in Honduras. (Chavez: CIA Behind Coup in Honduras)

Officials from the U.S. Embassy in Honduras met with congressional representatives and right-wing military top brass shortly before the military coup was carried out.

The Honduran military has long had links to the CIA, dating back to the Contras, the fascist criminals who were backed by the CIA.

Reportedly, during the Reagan years, the CIA was involved in cocaine trafficking in Central America as part of the Contra war in Nicaragua.



Honduras by ZackClark

John Negroponte was US ambassador in Honduras from 1981 to 1985.

There he reportedly worked closely with Honduran army to impose a fascist police state based on torture and murder.

A Honduran army death squad, Battalion 3-16, trained by the CIA, kidnapped, tortured and killed hundreds of people, including US missionaries.

When a wave of torture and murder staggered a small U.S. ally. (Baltimore Sun)

Reportedly Negroponte knew about these human rights violations and yet continued to collaborate with the Honduran military while lying to Congress.

Hondurans by ZackClark

The CIA trained Battalion 316 in the United States.

Gen. Gustavo Alvarez Martinez, who directed Battalion 316, received strong U.S. support - even after he told a U.S. ambassador that he intended to use the Argentine method of eliminating subversives.

By 1983, when Alvarez's oppressive methods were well known to the U.S. Embassy, the Reagan administration awarded him the Legion of Merit for "encouraging the success of democratic processes in Honduras."

A CIA officer went frequently to a secret jail known as INDUMIL, where torture was conducted.
