Africa: France Increased Arms Sales and Intervention

Posted by Matt in November 6th, 2006

According to a recent study, France is Africa’s leading weapons supplier. This dubious milestone and increased French military presence in Africa signals a reversal of the 1998 French strategy that led to French troop reductions and less interference in Africa.

Africa: America's Next Oil Target (1/5)
As world oil reserves decline, the US and other world powers are competing for African oil. US energy and foreign policies have now merged: they militarize choke points and oil-producing countries that can be loyal to the US. Currently [2005], 14% of US oil comes from Africa, while experts predict that America's own national oil supply will run out in eight years. Thus securing an energy supply is a top strategic priority in an oil-hungry world, which explains the sudden interest from America, Europe, China and Japan for Africa. Under the guise of the wars against 'terror' and 'poverty' the US is setting up military bases in West Africa and planning for a possible conflict with Europe and China. Year of production: 2005 *content shortened from 43 min to 38 min*

THE DICTATOR HUNTER : ex-Dictator Chad and Justice
"If you kill one person, you go to jail. If you kill 40 people, they put you in an insane asylum. But if you kill 40, 000 people, you get a comfortable exile with a bank account in another country, and that's what we want to change here," Reed Brody, Human Rights Watch He hunts dictators for a living as a lawyer for Human Rights Watch. For seven years, Brody has been chasing one former dictator in particular: Hissène Habré, the former leader of Chad, who is charged with killing thousands of his own countrymen in the 1980s.

Europe Is Being Distroyed (shocking immigration statistics)
Christians in Europe (and the rest of the world) are a minority, after the violent muslim protests all over Europe, and now Kosovo is taken from the Christian Serbs and just handed over to the albanian muslim majority... it makes one think what will become of Europe especially after talk of muslim "sharia law" being introduced and made legal in some areas...muslims population is also growing faster since some have more than one wife... Is this a lead up to the Muslim & Christian war that destroys the Vatican that Nostrodamus was warning us about? white people are less than 8% of world population and declining, we are a minority, and yet a the majority still calling us racist for trying to stop our race from being overun, every race has a homeland(asia is 99% asian, africa 99%african)...
