Western Neo-Colonial Goals In Mail

“And it is with such a fear of U.S. containment in mind that Beijing has come to interpret France’s intervention into Mali as a gateway for further Western interventions. As He Wenping of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences warns, “French forces’ involvement in Mali will provide the case for legalization of a new interventionism in Africa.” And indeed it will, just as the West’s Libyan romp, costing China $20 billion in investments, helped set the stage for the current intervention into Mali. For in order for the U.S. to harness Asia’s (read China’s) growth and dynamism — and thus cement America’s Pacific Century — the U.S. must come to also harness the growth and dynamism of Africa.” Hidden Agenda behind America’s War on Africa: Containing China by “Fighting Al-Qaeda”Ben Schreiner http://www.globalresearch.ca/hidden-agenda-behind-americas-war-on-africa-containing-china-by-fighting-al-qaeda/5320939

The US and its NATO ally thugs and murderers have set their sites on Africa big time. Why? The real reasons for their incursion into Mali aside from their love of war and killing is to reestablish Western (white) hegemony throughout the continent, to gain access and control of the vast resources and riches under the ground there and to stymie increasing Chinese investment and partnership on the continent. The West’s latest foray into Africa will replicate the disasters initiated by blood thirsty psychopaths we witnessed in Libya and outside of Africa in places like Afghanistan and Iraq. Each was launched under the guise of a righteous war for freedom, justice and democracy. But keep in mind the whites doing this are the descendants of the barbarians who raped, ravaged and plundered the world in the name of their Pope, their god and “civilization”. Instead of a missionary fervor this latest form of white pillage will be done in the name of “anti-terrorism” and “free markets”.
The masses will be duped and deceived into going along with this new form of long term imperialism and tricked into paying for it with their lives and treasury because the corporate media will wave the “al Qeada” (wink wink, nudge nudge) bogeyman at us to cement the need for endless war into the psyches of the people. Since 9-11 the people have been brainwashed and conditioned to salivate and go brain dead like Pavlovian dogs every time the words “al Qaeda” are mentioned. It works well because there are never any questions asked how rag tag third world Muslims (the “bad guys” are always Islamic jihadists never Christians or Zionists) pose such a global threat?
In reality the only way is if the “jihadists” are secretly backed by the resources and arms of major powers like the UK, US, France, Israel and the Saudis, similar to the Iran Contra scandal during the 1980’s. “The Iran-contra affair was the product of two separate initiatives during the administration of President Ronald Reagan. The first was a commitment to aid the contras who were conducting a guerrilla war against the Sandinista government of Nicaragua. The second was to placate ‘moderates’ within the Iranian government in order to secure the release of American hostages held by pro-Iranian groups in Lebanon and to influence Iranian foreign policy in a pro-Western direction.

Despite the strong opposition of the Reagan administration, the Democratic-controlled Congress enacted legislation, known as the Boland amendments, that prohibited the Defense Dept., the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), or any other government agency from providing military aid to the contras from Dec., 1983, to Sept., 1985. The Reagan administration circumvented these limitations by using the National Security Council (NSC), which was not explicitly covered by the law, to supervise covert military aid to the contras. Under Robert McFarlane (1983–85) and John Poindexter (1985–86) the NSC raised private and foreign funds for the contras. This operation was directed by NSC staffer Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North. McFarlane and North were also the central figures in the plan to secretly ship arms to Iran despite a U.S. trade and arms embargo.” Iran-contra affair — Infoplease.com http://www.infoplease.com/encyclopedia/history/iran-contra-affair.html#ixzz2JNhCKPag
Iran-Contra was hush hush but we have to ask ourselves if the US and its henchmen supplied arms to the Contras in the 1980’s, and arms to Mujahidin “rebels” in Afghanistan in the 1980’s, Libyan “rebels” in 2010, Syrian “rebels” now, why wouldn’t they give arms to Mali “rebels” if it would further their nefarious aims of empire? It’s the corporate media’s job to make sure we don’t connect the dots to see through their latest charade. It’s getting so ridiculous the French president actually said with a straight face the “terrorists” in Mali pose a direct threat to France and Europe and the corporate sycophants repeated it around the world without question! Of course no mention was made in the controlled media about the gold and other minerals the West covets or the fact that 31% of Mali exports go to China (see the CIA World Fact Book).
The Mali invasion is a joint Western (white) operation, the old European colonial mentality is at work for all to see if we only open our eyes, “France can firmly count on the support of European imperialism. The European Union (EU) appointed French Brigadier General Francois Lecointre as commander of a mission to send 250 military trainers to Mali in February. It will not only give 50 million euros ($66 million) of funding to Ecowas forces, but has announced it will unblock € 250 million in aid for Mali that was frozen after the military coup in March 2012. It also offered to host a ministerial meeting of the international support and follow-up group on the situation in Mali on February 5. Following Canada, Great Britain, Germany, Belgium and Denmark, Italy has now also offered logistical support.
According to US State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland, about 100 American trainers have deployed to Niger, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Togo, Senegal and Ghana to help prepare troops in these countries for combat in Mali.” Imperialist Powers Escalate War in Mali Ernst Wolff http://www.globalresearch.ca/imperialist-powers-escalate-war-in-mali/5320004
“Africa’s rich in oil, gas, gold, silver, diamonds, uranium, iron, copper, tin, lead, nickel, coal, cobalt, bauxite, wood, coltan, manganese, chromium, vanadium-bearing titanium, and much more. Continental agricultural lands are valued. So is offshore fishing. Congo, Southern Sudan’s Darfur region, Gulf of Guinea, Libya, Nigeria, and Niger, among other areas, hold special interest. So does Mali. Last October, Reuters headlined “Mali war plan to be ready within weeks: AU,” saying:Military intervention is planned to reclaim territory seized by “Islamist militants.” On March 22, an army coup toppled President Amadou Toumani Toure. At the time, France signaled readiness to intervene. Malian junior officers revolted. They control northern areas. Obama officials call Mali a ‘powder keg.’ Conditions threaten regional destabilization, they say. Reasons are invented to intervene. Obama wants congressional funding. He prioritizes wars. He’s eager to begin term two with new ones. Permanent ones define his agenda.” Scrambling for Africa’s Resources by Stephen Lendman http://www.globalresearch.ca/scrambling-for-africas-resources/5316877
Don’t go for the mind control apparatus’ okey-doke, there is more to the Mali invasion than meets the eye or what we are being told by the corporate media. Don’t fall for the propaganda about “anti-terrorism” this is pure hypocrisy from world class terrorists and killers, just follow the money, resource and geo-strategic trails it all becomes quite clear.
