Ivory Coast: Freemasons Key to Imperialist Control

January 6, 2011

The "International Community" has imposed sanctions on the lawfully elected President of Ivory Coast, Laurent Gbagbo. This article shows that despite pretensions to "human rights, " Freemasonry is a key element in Western imperialism, and the New World Order.

Virtuallyall the African leaders ranged against Laurent Gbagbo and supporting theelite cadre of French business and political leaders are Freemasonsaffiliated to the same lodges as the elite French business andpolitical group. It is impossible to understand how Françafriqueworks without reference to the Masons.

FrenchMasons represent the elite of French business and politics, Most ofthem were educated together at the same two elite schools and mostpursue a career in the French government or French business. Theseschools are École Nationale d'Administration, the ÉcolePolytechnique and École Polytechnique.

Freemasonlodges maintain a formidable, covert influence within the Frenchjudicial and police structures. All three Freemason lodges in Francewere caught influence peddling and false invoicing on statecontracts. Freemasons in the judiciary hamper any investigations andmuzzle the press.

Asin France, Freemasonry is ubiquitous at the very top in many Africanstates. For eg. Denis Sassou Nguesso, the Congolese president, isGrand Master of the Grand Lodge of Congo - Brazzaville linked tothe National Grand Lodge of France; President Mamadou Tanja of Niger;Chad's Idriss Deby and François Bozizé of the Central AfricanRepublic are among at least twelve African presidents linked to theMasons. In November 2009 Ali Bongo, the new Gabonese President was ordained as the grand master of the Grand Lodge of Gabon (GLB) andthe Grand Equatorial Rite, the two predominant Freemason orders inGabon.[ii]

TheMasons have always provided the leaders and the staff of Frenchcolonialism. François Xavier-Verschave described the secret controlsystem of its leaders as "the secret criminality in the upperechelons of French politics and economy, where a kind of undergroundRepublic is hidden from view."

Bytradition in France, foreign affairs are the French president'sprivate domain. The foreign affairs minister only applies hispolicies. France is the only Western country where foreign policy isnot a debating topic in the national legislative bodies. Thesovereignty of the French people does not count for anything even ifit has elected the president directly. The Parliament has no checkingpowers and is quietly relegated to domestic matters.

Thewar of the French against the Ivory Coast was a war by Jacques Chiracagainst the Ivory Coast. It was his fit of pique which ordered theFrench 'peacekeepers' to attack and destroy the Ivory Coast airforce. It was his order to send over a hundred tanks to surround theHotel d'Ivoire and President Gbagbo's house. It was his decisionto allow his soldiers to open fire on a crowd of singing youths,totally unarmed and non-threatening, seeking only to stop the Frenchfrom making a coup or killing President Gbagbo.

Frenchagents have had no compunctions about ousting African Presidents ordefending others against coups. Their role in attempting to overthrowGbagbo is well documented. A recording of several meetings was copiedfrom a French laptop which was captured which shows, inter alia, howthe French behaved.

TheFrench method of making a coup was well-documented in an intelligencereport on a meeting in Burkina Faso. The parallels with Madagascarare clear. They decided to promote a coup in Abidjan on 22-33 March2006.

AlassaneOuttara [now backed by the West to replace Gbagbo] opened the meeting and introduced Pouchet. He spoke and saidthat he had come directly from Chirac with the message that "ADO(Ouattara) your son and brother will be President of the Republic ofCôte d`Ivoire before the elections of 2005." Chirac has promised"There will be no disarmament in Côte d`Ivoire without ouragreement. It is necessary that the agreements of ACCRA III are votedon before they can insist on disarmament.

All France and JACQUESCHIRAC support ADO to lead him to taking power in five months; i.e.in March. We have recruited mercenaries who are currently in trainingin Mali and in Burkina Faso. In March we will lead ADO to power withthe assistance of the mercenaries who are in training with Burkinabéofficers and Malians. Our objective it is to put ADO in power". "Ishall come again in December, with President Compaore, and willintroduce you to the mercenaries. Ouattara will return in March totake power."

Thenext speaker was Blaise Compaore, the President of Burkina Faso, whothanked Pouchet and Chirac. He criticized the Ivory Coast governmentfor ignoring the rights of Ouattara and said "It is my name whichspoiled in this business. In Burkina my officers are doing remarkablework with the mercenaries to make them ready. I support you. We aremoving to put things in place from there for you. Do not be afraid;we will win the battle in a little time. In five months all will beready".

Therewere several attempts at making a coup against Gbagbo over the nextfive years. Most were anticipated and prevented. Others died for lackof interest. In almost all these cases the active participants wereenvoys from France, combined with elements of the French (UN)peacekeepers and local African Presidents linked by their Masonicties to the French business and political elites... The implementingparties and logistic suppliers were French agents working in the manFrench multinationals in Abidjan.

This is normal French neo-colonial behavior. It has always been done in the name of France but withoutany democratic debate. It advances French business interests andrewards the Presidency. This impasse in the Ivory Coast is justanother French plot by the same people and using the samecollaborators. However, this time the French have managed to hook inthe 'international community' to support them.

Insummary, the colonial pact maintained the French control over theeconomies of the African states; it took possession of their foreigncurrency reserves; it controlled the strategic raw materials of thecountry; it stationed troops in the country with the right of freepassage; it demanded that all military equipment be acquired fromFrance; it took over the training of the police and army; it requiredthat French businesses be allowed to maintain monopoly enterprises inkey areas (water, electricity, ports, transport, energy, etc.). France not only set limits on the imports of a range of items fromoutside the franc zone but also set minimum quantities of importsfrom France. These treaties are still in force and operational.

Itis probably very little surprise to other Africans that the attemptsby Gbagbo to break free of these chains irritated the French. TheAfrican Presidents were kept in power by French armies. The economieswere kept under the control of French businesses licensed to havemonopolies. Other nations were kept out. The African presidents, inexchange, gave 85% of their national wealth to the French Treasury tohold for them and paid a regular ransom to French politicians forkeeping them in office.

Whatis the mystery to many on the African continent (if not among thelotus-eaters of the West) is why the United Nations and theinternational community would take sides with the Godfathers ofFrance instead of the victims in Africa.

This French political andMasonic system is certainly not the future for Africa and sendingtroops to kill innocent Africans in support of such brazen and deadlycorruption is not everyone's idea of a democratic process.
