Commemorating More Than 18 Years of Terrorism in Central Africa - by Keith Harmon Snow
http://www.consciousbeingalliance.com/2012/04/pentagon-reveals-satelitte...
"Eighteen years after the historic '100 days of genocide' in Rwanda, the US Government has produced never-before-seen-images to support the genocide extradition trial of a former Rwandan now US citizen in New Hampshire (USA). The existence of satellite imagery from 1994 would enable the 'international community' to further explore heretofore hidden facts about the double presidential assassinations of April 6, or massacres committed before, during and after 1994.
As the world commemorates the official Rwanda genocide story on the 18th anniversary of the Rwanda genocide, the people of Central Africa continue to suffer the brutal terrorism of the Kagame military regime [that Canada helped install!].
Instead of celebrating, we should be asking: who are the real victims, who are the real crimnals, and what really happened in Rwanda."

"For nine years, Luis Moreno Ocampo has dedicated the resources of the ICC to the exclusive task of prosecuting Africans. In the process, he has actively fomented imperial war on the continent and encouraged the breakdown of fundamental principles of international law. He ends his term in office as he began it, as a lawyer for neocolonialism.."

Thnx NDPP, 
Kenya has discovered more oil reserves And so Gladio-style terror is spreading.
George Saitoti was the Kenyan security minister dealing with attacks in Kenya blamed on the 'CIA-linked' Shabab terrorists.Kenya's troops have been fighting Shabaab in neighbouring Somalia since October 1011.
Saitori was also involved in the CIA's rendition programme.
Nigeria has oil. And so Gladio-style terror is spreading...

Canada Could Be Drawn into Mali Civil War
http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Canada+could+drawn+into+Mali+civil/6928...
"Canada faces the possibility of being dragged into a new war against Islamic extremists - in the West African nation of Mali, where al-Qaida insurgents have taken over the north of the country and declared independence. The Conservative government says Canada is ready to provide support as calls for military intervention grew Thursday over fears the takeover gives the jihadists a base of operations, plus airports and military equipment from which they can launch attacks across the region and against Western targets.."
what they don't say is that the Tuareg people's largely successfull independence battle to eject the Malian occupation and take back traditional territories is being used to advance the imperial drive into north Africa secured by the NATO regime change operation in Libya.

Mali, Al Qaeda and the US Neo-Colonial Agenda - by Eric Draitser
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=31918
"...Recent developments in Mali illustrate both the way in which the US and its Western allies directly project military and political power, as well as the role of terrorism as a necessary pretext for imperialist, neo-colonial domination.l It has become clear that the US has now managed to successfully destabilize West Africa and achieve many of its long-term strategic objectives in the region.."

Thanks NDPP. From Draitser's American-Qa'eda-o-rama in the Maghreb:
US Objectives
The US imperialist ruling class has a multitude of reasons for their desire to destabilize the Sahel and Africa more broadly. First and foremost is the desire to block the continued Chinese economic penetration of the continent. It is no secret that China has become, by far, the most significant investor in Africa. With the mutually beneficial arrangements wherein China engages in large-scale economic development while receiving, in return, access to raw materials, the Chinese have entrenched themselves in many African nations. Because of this, the United States must find ways to slow down or stop altogether these relations by any means necessary.
1. Prevent Chinese investment in Africa
2. Keep them down and out, divided and poverty-stricken.
3. Murder all hope for a better life for Africans in general.
That's imperialism.
ETA: Africa's leaders held the Summit of African nations in Beijing for the first time a few years ago and vowed never again to meet in a western country to discuss trade and investment. I believe the Washington consensus is falling apart. A new world order really is in the making apparently.

"As Western oil companies loot some $140 Billion a year of Nigeria's black gold two thirds of the country's 100 million people live on less than $2 a day..."
Add to that the destruction of the Niger delta and the expulsion and murder of the Ogoni people who are indigenous to the region. All applauded by Western Oil and their political buddies in the West. Security firms hired by these oil companies happily kidnap, disappear and murder activists at the behest of both their employers and the Nigerian government. Anyone who speaks out against this grotesque injustice runs the risk of being charged with some trumped up charge and executed.
Dutch Shell Oil has, historically, been the worst of the bunch and set the precedent for environmental destruction and human rights abuses when they first began exploration and extraction, but many more Western oil companies have jumped on board the gravy train.

Canadian mining companies are once again at the epicenter of conflict in a foreign land.
The French military intervention on Friday, a dramatic shift from earlier plans for an African-led force, was a sign of the world’s growing fear that the Islamist rebels could topple Mali’s weakened government and turn the country into a haven for terrorists.
In a sign of the desperate mood, Mali President Dioncounda Traore declared a national emergency on Friday and called on Canadian mining companies and other miners to contribute their trucks to the fight against the rebels.
Canadian companies are among the biggest investors in Mali. One of the largest mining companies in the country, Toronto-based Iamgold Corp., said it has not formally received a request for its vehicles so far. The company said it has temporarily closed its office in Mali and moved out some of its non-essential staff.

"...Plans for these interventions were well advanced before the first bombs were dropped on Tripoli. [RCAF Lt General Charles 'the Butcher' Bouchard presiding, with the unanimous consent of ALL Canadian MPs]
The region has been a focus of US strategic calculations for the past decade, beginning with Washington's Pan Sahel initiative in 2003, followed by its Trans-Saharan Counter-Terrorism Partnership in 2005.
In this context, the role played by a whole layer of pseudo-lefts internationally in justifying and promoting the war against Libya, touting it as a humanitarian intervention, a crusade for democracy and even a 'revolution' also becomes clearer than ever."

[url=http://owni.eu/2011/04/12/abuse-of-the-transfer-price-a-scandal-in-zambi... of the transfer price: A scandal in Zambia[/size][/url]
Is it possible that mere accountants have become the most successful money launderers in the business world, far ahead of other traffickers? In an analysis of the audit reports concerning Zambian mines in Mopani, several financial methods used by the shareholders raises questions about the quality of international regulations.
In summary, Glencore International AG and First Quantum Minerals Ltd have been accused of using the following accounting strategies to conceal their true records:
- Overstating their operational costs: In 2007 alone, auditors estimated the cost at $381 millions (Out of $804 million).
- Understating the amount of copper production: The revenue data from the Mopani mines states that it’s producing at half the rate in comparison to other mines in the area.
- Manipulating the transfer price: Between 2003 and 2008 auditors estimated $700 million were lost, which is suspicious when compared with traditional accounting practices.
Those three maneuvers have a common objective: pay the least amount of taxes as possible by leveraging the differences in international tax rules. Yet it has been 15 years since the OECD blew the whistle that these large companies are manipulating the transfer price. The rule is simple: if these exchanges are in line with the market price, they are legal – if they are over or under the international market price, then they are illegal. The OECD refers to this as the arm’s length principle.
"At arm's length" is code for let's cheat and rob and thieve like nobody's watching.

How are they accomplished, if not with the support of the 'good Canadian'. who allows genocide to unfold on a global scale merely because they are not paying attention, or they do not know what to do to address the problem, or because they prefer to buy their dimand and love it too, or perhaps it is because they cannot manage their personal affairs at home, overflowing as they are, with junk commodities, never mind the affairs of some black savages in central Africa.

Kenyan Bloodbath: State-Sponsored Sophistication and Motivation - by Tony Cartalucci
http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2013/09/24/325759/kenya-bloodbath-stateback...
"...That Kenya's new president was elected in what could be easily interpreted as a major slight against the already teetering legitimacy of the ICC and the corporate-financier interests that contrived and currently perpetuate the institution, appears to be the most compelling motive behind the recent attack in Nairobi.
If nations are allowed to openly defy and erode the West's status as self-proclaimed international arbiter, the very large house of geopolitical, socioeconomic cards built upon this shaky table will fall with it.
Indeed, just as the West used listed terror organizations, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) in Libya, and now the al-Nusra Front in Syria, to target and overthrow governments of their disliking, al Shabab, who maintains direct ties to both of these terror organizations appears to have been turned loose on Kenya.
The attack in Nairobi represents a scale and level of sophistication that requires state-sponsorship and intelligence on a par with at least that inside Kenya in order to target and murder the president's family members.
That state sponsorship most certainly is not somewhere in Kenya's northern neighbor of Somalia, but more likely in Washington, London, Paris, Tel Aviv, Doha and/or Riyadh.
As the facts continue to emerge, and with Western leaders calling the world to once again quickly and collectively react based on emotions of rage, hatred and fear, the basic questions of 'qui bono?' and who actually possessed the operational capacity to carry out or at least steer such an attack, must be asked and answered..."
