EGYPT BEING BROKEN UP; SYRIA EXPLAINED

Cairo, October 2011.

On 10 October 2011, we learn that at least 24 people have been killed in Cairo.

At least three of the dead are said to be soldiers.

Christians, protesting about an attack on a church in Aswan in Upper Egypt, have clashed with military police.

Army vehicles have been set alight.

Agent provocateurs may be at work.

Reportedly, the CIA and its friends want the Christians in Egypt, 10% of the population, to form a separate state in Upper Egypt, a state that would help control the Nile.

Cairo, October 2011

"This is a dark day in the military's history. This is betrayal, a conspiracy, murder," Magdy el-Serafy wrote on Twitter. (Egypt cabinet to meet over violence that kills 24‎)

"What happened in front of the state TV building is exactly what happened on Jan. 25," wrote Muslim activist Asmaa Mahfouz.

"What happened today is unprecedented in Egypt. 17 corpses crushed by military tanks," Hossam Bahgat, human rights activist tweeted from hospital. "I saw bodies missing hands and legs, heads twisted away or plastered to the ground."

Protesters also took to the streets in Alexandria.

MAATHAI VERSUS THE IMF AND WORLD BANK


Professor Wangari Maathai (Nobel laureate and environment‎alist) was born in the central highlands of Kenya in 1940.

Back in the 1940s, her small village had clean water, rich soils, rich forests and plenty of food.

"It was heaven. We wanted for nothing," she said.

"Now the forests have come down, the land has been turned to commercial farming, the tea plantations keep everyone poor, and the economic system does not allow people to appreciate the beauty of where they live."


Maathai was educated by Catholic nuns. (environment‎)

Maathai said: "After my education by the nuns, I emerged as a person who believed that society is inherently good and that people generally act for the best."

Maathai won a scholarship to study in the US, as part of the 'Kennedy airlift' in which 300 Kenyans - including Barack Obama’s father - were chosen to study at American universities in 1960.

After further study in Germany, she returned to a newly independent Kenya in 1966.

Her early work as a vet took her to some of Kenya's poorest areas.

She saw first-hand the damage that was being done to the environment.

In 1977, she set up the Green Belt movement.

She became critical of politicians in Kenya, the World Bank, the IMF, Britain and other former colonial powers.

What began as a few women planting trees became a network of 600 community groups.

They looked after 6,000 tree nurseries, which were often supervised by disabled and mentally ill people in the villages.

By 2004, more than 30 million trees had been planted, and the movement had branches in 30 countries.

In Kenya, the Green Belt movement has become an agricultural advice service, a community regeneration project and a job-creation plan.

In the early 1990s, Maathai set up Mazingira, the Kenyan Green Party.

Maathai became a junior environment minister between January 2003 and November 2005.

She died in September 2011. (Nobel laureate and environment‎alist)

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.

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.

OBAMA ON LIBYA

Here is the speech we have written for President Obama when he explains why troops have to go into Libya:



My fellow Americans, Libya is in chaos and there are clear indications that the 'rebels' are not in a position to restore order.



We must copy the Italians.



In October 1911, our Italian allies brought order to Libya.



In just one incident, the Al-Shutt massacre, our Italian friends, with great efficiency, wiped out over a thousand troublesome women and children. (Tripoli Post)



We may need to build concentration camps in Libya.



I will remind you that in 1930, the Italians had to move the population of Gebel, 100,000 people, to concentration camps.



Let us be in no doubt that the Libyans are troublesome people.



Italy had to kill 12,000 Libyans every year in order to keep order.



I will remind you that back in 1885, it was decided, at a conference in Berlin, that Belgian troops were to be sent into the Congo. (massacres in Africa)



Although, sadly, half the population of the Congo died as a result of this intervention, there was a huge advantage for Belgium.



I will be honest. We need to do to Libya what the Belgians did to the Congo.





When it comes to looking after our interests we should not be squeamish.



I will remind you that on 2 September 1889, our British friends killed 11,000 Sudanese in one day - all in a good cause. (massacres in Africa)



In 1904, our German allies brought peace to Namibia by killing 80% 0f the population.



In 1920 and 1921, the British brought order to Iraq by killing 10,000 Iraqis.



Let us not forget our allies in France.



In 1945, French troops had to kill 50,000 Algerians in order to keep order.

INVESTMENT IN AFRICA

"For the past few years big names including Jamie Dimon, chief executive of JPMorgan Chase of the US, have been popping up in places such as newly oil-rich Ghana.

"In London, Helios Investment Partners, an investment firm founded by young Nigerians, is poised to close subscriptions to a $900m fund, so far the largest private equity fundraising exercise to target Africa.

"This comes as the much bigger Carlyle Group of the US is backing the continent for the first time, setting up in South Africa and Nigeria – the two biggest economies south of the Sahara."

Ripe for reappraisal - Financial Times

"Growth has been spurred by market liberalisation and improved public management of finances as well as a boom in the commodities that Africa has in abundance.

"Perhaps the biggest factor has been the engagement of emerging powers including India and Brazil but led by China."
