Gee, I forgot about Africa. It's so hard to keep up with all the shenanigans our Empire is up to. Which countries they're bullying. :rolleyes:

Seriously...I have a feeling this thing in Africa is going to move pretty quickly in the next few years because Washington is just going to feel like they can just go in there and plow everyone over on their way to the oil.

U.S. Militarizing Africa (Again) By Daniel Volman and Beth Tuckey, Foreign Policy in Focus. Posted March 2, 2008.


The Pentagon's new AFRICOM is all about securing oil resources, countering terrorism, and rolling back Chinese influence.

In February 2007, President Bush announced that the United States would create a new military command for Africa, to be known as the Africa Command or AFRICOM, to protect U.S. national security interests on the African continent. Previously, control over U.S. military operations in Africa was divided between three different commands: European Command, which oversaw North Africa and most of sub-Saharan Africa; Central Command, which had responsibility for Egypt and the Horn of Africa; and Pacific Command, which administered the Indian Ocean and Madagascar.

..Real Reasons for AFRICOM

Professional military officers have made it clear that the new Africa Command has three main purposes. First and foremost, the new command's main mission is to protect American access to Africa's oil and other resources, preferably by enhancing the ability of African allies to guard these resources themselves on behalf of the United States. But, to prepare for the day that Washington decides to try to use American troops in a desperate bid to keep them flowing, the United States is also acquiring access to local African military bases and dramatically expanding its naval presence off Africa's coastline, especially in the oil-rich Gulf of Guinea region. Imports from Africa are expected to reach 25% by 2015, making Africa one of the largest future suppliers of U.S. oil -- larger even than the Persian Gulf.

The new command will also expand and intensify counter-terrorism operations in Africa and will make the continent a central battlefield in the Global War on Terror. Through AFRICOM, the Pentagon will intensify and extend U.S. counter-terrorism operations in Africa as well as its involvement in counter-insurgency warfare and other internal security operations in African countries. American troops are already engaged in combat operations in Somalia -- where air and naval strikes aimed at alleged al-Qaeda members instead killed dozens of Somali civilians in January and June 2007 -- and U.S. troops were engaged in combat-support operations in Mali in September 2007.

Finally, the new command is designed to counter China's efforts to increase its influence and its access to African oil and other raw materials. The creation of AFRICOM is one element of a broad effort to develop a "grand strategy" on the part of the United States to compete with, and eventually restrain China's activities. It is also intended to demonstrate to Beijing that Washington will match China's actions, thus serving as a warning to Chinese leaders that they should restrain themselves or face possible consequences to their relationship with America as well as to their interests in Africa...

This film exposes the globalist agenda of the NWO/CFR, and includes proof of who killed Kennedy, and predicts that the takeover and conquest of Africa is next on the Trilatteralist agenda. It also gives the truth & lies about 9/11. If you haven't seen this, you really should, the author is now in Venesuela because the government wants him dead.
