A more immediate result of these operations will be the increased use of military forces, weaponry, and equipment such as tanks and armored personnel carriers in civilian law enforcement, the suspension or elimination of Habeas Corpus, the elimination of jury trials, the attempted disarming of the American People, and the institution of martial law with show-trials conducted by a tribunal of judges. - William Cooper 1997 (RIP) "If it's TRUE, it cannot be a THEORY!" -- Kentroversy (02/23/07) The light is always stronger than the darkness.

Quoting: Cat Barf True! Ya know, I'm going to google and see if China is building ghost towns anywhere else. I know they are buying up expensive property in the US. They lead the way in foreign countries purchasing here. [link to online.wsj.com] "We are the music makers. And we are the dreamers of dreams." Willy Wonka |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 64048787 you can buy a meal for a few bucks, a room for the night costs $50. I think it's possible that countries may be using certain 'tactics,' like an ebola scare, to control that country. "We are the music makers. And we are the dreamers of dreams." Willy Wonka |

After seeing all the billions being poured into Africa, it makes sense that one country might want to scare the rest of the countries off from investing there. Make sense? "We are the music makers.

In this article, they think it's someone close to the president and think it's because the president is getting ready to lose some power due to a new constitution being drafted. This was a 2013 article. Apparently, Africa is still an enigma. I'll keep hunting for the video but I'm hoping someone will see this and know about it.

Chinese investment companies run by corrupt officials get big perks for overseas investments, so they build these with borrowed money they never repay, scoop up the government incentives, put the money in offshore bank, and when the time is right, either take the tax loss, sell to Chinese colonists, or live in the best places. Its a win win win situation for the officials. ************************************************************************ Corruptisima re publica plurimae leges. ~ Terence |
