"Can Africa keep its economic winning streak alive?" by Paul Wiseman | Associated Press August 06, 2014
WASHINGTON — They export BMWs and bird seed and plenty in between. Their middle class is growing fast enough to draw the likes of Marriott and Walmart. China, Europe, Japan, and the United States are vying to build roads and power plants there.
Must be where the AmeriKan middle class has gone.
No longer are the nations of sub-Saharan Africa, long a symbol of war, famine, and corruption, an economic basket case. Six of the world’s fastest-growing economies are there. Higher oil prices, richer consumers, and sounder governments have raised so much interest in Africa’s promise it’s being showcased this week at the first US-Africa Leaders Summit.
The question is: Can all this endure? Africa has stood on the verge of prosperity before, only to see its opportunities fizzle. Yet never has it stood to benefit as it does now.
‘‘Africa presents enormous opportunities,’’ said Paul Sullivan, at Acrow Bridge of Parsippany, N.J., which has put up hundreds of prefabricated steel bridges in Africa.
Not that I want Africans to be living in sub-standard conditions, but why are our roads falling apart?
As African leaders gather to mark a decade of economic gains, they appear intent on sustaining the growth and ensuring the benefits are spread broadly and not siphoned away by corrupt officials and foreign companies.
Then why is there so much destitute poverty then? The elite 1% effect again?
In the decades after many of the countries regained independence in the 1960s, their natural resources — Nigerian oil, Liberian diamonds, Congolese copper and cobalt — failed to support durable growth. They sometimes proved to be a curse: Proceeds would vanish into Swiss bank accounts of corrupt leaders and give armed factions something to fight over.

It's thick, but well worth it!
Analysts note the current resurgence is built on foundations sturdier than commodity prices. Many nations have become more democratic, making it easier for entrepreneurs to do business, and have boosted investment in education and infrastructure. A decade of solid growth has created a middle class with more spending power — 350 million strong in 2010 by the African Development Bank’s count, up from 220 million in 2000.
Armed conflicts are down, despite headlines about terrorist groups Boko Haram in Nigeria and Al Shabab in Somalia.
EXCUSE ME?
The improved environment has benefited even countries without bounteous natural resources. In resource-poor Rwanda, for example, economic growth rose from an average 1.7 percent from 1990 to 2000 to 7.7 percent the next decade.

The consultancy Ernst & Young ranks Africa as the world’s second-most-attractive market, after North America. Foreign investment in sub-Saharan Africa catapulted from $33.5 billion in 2000 to $246.4 billion in 2012, according to United Nations numbers the Brookings Institution analyzed.
No nation has been more aggressive in Africa than China. Its direct investment in sub-Saharan Africa jumped from virtually nothing in 2002 to $18.2 billion in 2012. China is hungry for oil, coal and other resources.
As opposed too AmeriKa, which is all about altrui$m and letting people choose their own course and sell to who they want. Right?
Africans tend to favor China in part because it’s less likely than Western nations to demand economic and political reforms.
You mean China respects them and actually practices what the U.S preaches?
On Tuesday, the Obama administration announced $14 billion in commitments from US businesses to invest in Africa — money for construction, clean energy, banking, information technology, and other uses.
I was told the commitments were $33 billion. WTF?

"Obama announces $33B in commitments for Africa" Associated Press August 06, 2014
WASHINGTON — Seeking to strengthen America’s financial foothold in Africa, President Obama announced $33 billion in commitments Tuesday aimed at shifting US ties with Africa beyond humanitarian aid and toward more equal economic partnerships.
They propaganda pre$$ can't even count the dollars correctly?
The bulk of the commitments came from private-sector companies, including Coca-Cola and General Electric, underscoring Africa’s growing appeal to businesses. The continent is home to six of the world’s fastest-growing economies and a rapidly expanding middle class.
Yet Obama noted that US trade with the entire African continent is about the same as its trade ties with Brazil and that just about 1 percent of US exports go to sub-Saharan Africa. ‘‘We’ve got to do better, much better,’’ he said. ‘‘I want Africans buying more American products and I want Americans buying more African products.’’

"Second American aid worker with Ebola arrives in US" by Kate Brumback | Associated Press August 06, 2014
ATLANTA — An American aid worker infected with Ebola arrived Tuesday in Atlanta, becoming the second patient being given an experimental treatment that has never before been tested on humans.
Nancy Writebol, 59, traveled from Monrovia, Liberia, to Emory University Hospital, just downhill from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She arrived two days after Kent Brantly, a doctor with whom she had worked in Liberia and who also contracted Ebola, showed up for treatment.
The differences were stark in how they went from the ambulance to Emory, which has a highly specialized isolation unit. While Brantly, 33, was able to walk with assistance into the hospital, Writebol — covered from head to toe in a protective suit — was wheeled in on a stretcher.
Still, the 59-year-old Writebol was described as weak but showing signs of improvement.
‘‘A week ago we were thinking about making funeral arrangements for Nancy,’’ her husband, David, said in a statement read by the president of SIM USA, the aid group with which she was working in Liberia. ‘‘Now we have a real reason to be hopeful.’’
Brantly and Writebol were both infected despite taking precautions as they treated Ebola patients in West Africa, where the virus has been spreading faster than governments can contain it, killing nearly 900 people so far.
Their treatment, called ZMapp, was developed with US military funding by a San Diego company, using antibodies harvested from lab animals that had been injected with parts of the Ebola virus. Tobacco plants in Kentucky are being used to make the treatment.
How interesting that days ago I saw the news about tobacco, and why is my ma$$ media paper always late with news?
Btw, the military connection raises one hell of a suspicious stink.
It’s impossible to know whether the drug saved these workers, CDC Director Tom Frieden emphasized. ‘‘Every medicine has risks and benefits,’’ he said to reporters at a health symposium in Kentucky. ‘‘Until we do a study, we don’t know if it helps, if it hurts, or if it doesn’t make any difference.’’
If the treatment works, it could create pressure to speed through testing and production to help contain the disease in Africa.
There is no vaccine or specific treatment for Ebola, but several are under development, including ZMapp, made by Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc. It works by boosting the immune system’s efforts to fight the virus. The US Defense Threat Reduction Agency announced last month that it is providing more funding to speed the drug’s development.
Brantly and Writebol had been working at a missionary clinic outside Liberia’s capital.
I hate to say it, but considering the source and vehicle of media missionary is looking more and more like non-official cover for spies.

"Cambridge firm’s Ebola drug carries hope, risk" by Tracy Jan and Felice J. Freyer | Globe Staff August 06, 2014
A Cambridge-based biotech company that has developed an experimental treatment for the Ebola virus is urging federal officials to consider allowing the unproven medication to be used on patients who have been infected in Africa’s deadly outbreak and brought to the United States for treatment.
Sarepta Therapeutics says it has enough doses of its injectible drug — AVI-7537 — to treat about two dozen patients within a week and could ramp up a supply for another 100 patients within a few months.
Such a move would be highly risky, but in the case of such a dangerous disease, the risks could be worth it in the eyes of some patients and their doctors....

"The Ebola Virus Pandemic: “A Weapon of Mass Destruction”?
by Joachim Hagopian
Global Research, August 06, 2014
This year’s first outbreak of the hemorrhagic fever virus Ebola started in February in the West African nation of Guinea.
It then began spreading to Liberia and, for the first time, to Sierra
Leone and now Nigeria. With the possible spread to England in attempts
to trace 30,000 people who might have been exposed, and now an American
death in Nigeria and two more Americans afflicted with it here in the
US, Ebola has rapidly grown into what could become a global epidemic
with a potential capacity to wipe out millions.
According to recent statistics from the World Health Organization (WHO) released just last week, at least 672 people
have died out of a total of 1,201 cases so far this year in West
Africa. However, seven days later the number of fatalities has jumped to 887, a spike of over 200 deaths in just the last few days.
Because the incubation period may last ten days while the
infected victim may not even be aware of any illness, the virus is
highly contagious. Then what begins like typical flu symptoms of fever,
later vomiting as the virus spreads rapidly inside the body causing
people to succumb often within days of its onset. Victims literally die
from internal bleeding that in the final stages can flow out of every
orifice. It has the trappings of a ghastly zombie science fiction
nightmare come true.
There is no standard treatment (other than isolating the infected
and quarantining those at risk). Nor is there yet an official vaccine,
although Reuters
just announced that as early as next month the US government will
commence testing an experimental Ebola vaccine on humans after positive
results were found on primates. It has been reported that the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) infectious disease unit and the US Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) will be running vaccine trials “as quickly as
possible.”
The Department of Defense and Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
classify the Ebola virus as a biowarfare agent. Reports of up to 90% of
humans infected die within a very short time. Therefore, it is a very
real, extremely potent potential weapon of mass destruction.
Every single day Ebola keeps cropping up in different places, eight
cases spreading into Africa’s most populated nation Nigeria, several
more now have surfaced beyond the African continent with suspected new
cases in Hong Kong and Saudi Arabia. At least six others
fresh off flights from West Africa are currently being quietly tested
at locations here in the US in New York, Philadelphia and Ohio. With all
the latest news of the spreading outbreak understandably giving rise to
public fear and panic that it is just a plane ride away now, millions
if not billions on this planet are pondering whether the African
pandemic might be rapidly turning into a global epidemic spreading to
every corner of the earth. Of course to reduce these concerns, the World
Health Organization (WHO) and US government are busily downplaying the
risks to citizens here in North America.
Is it coincidence that the first two Americans suffering from the
deadly disease are now inside the US border? Is it coincidence that the
most deadly outbreak of the disease in history has admittedly now killed
nearly 900
West Africans already this year? Over 200 more than just a few days
ago? Is it coincidence that President Obama has just signed an executive
order to have the power to begin rounding up American citizens with
respiratory diseases against their will? Is it coincidence that FEMA
roundups are about to begin in Los Angeles, deceiving homeless people
with the carrot stick of a meal to corral them into those FEMA
concentration camps and Halliburton refurbished, soon to no longer be
empty prisons we’ve been hearing about?
Throughout this last century the US government and military have a notorious track record for delving into the darkest, most sinister realms
in its pathological, “cutting edge” pursuit of amassing the most
powerful destructive forces on earth… from torturous mind control
methods to unlawful, deceptive drug experimentation on unsuspecting
soldiers acting as involuntary guinea pigs, to manipulating extreme
weather events used as offensive weapons to create killer storms and
droughts, to the use of potently lethal electromagnetic radio waves to
alter and disturb the human mind and behavior that conceivably can even
cause heart attacks.
For many decades the US military has been systematically carrying out
numerous highly secretive black ops programs, from raining poisonous
metals down on unsuspecting Americans as sprayed chemtrails to using
poor inner city mostly African Americans in St Louis as guinea pigs
directly firing radioactive volleys from urban rooftops just to see how
humans react to high doses of radiation. Also throughout the 1950’s into
the early 1960’s there was extensive atomic bomb testing in the
Nevada-Utah desert sites as well as experimental weapons testing still
being detonated to this day in the South Pacific, all done knowing that
downwind are unsuspecting, unprotected human victims. For four decades
right up until 1972, 400 poor black sharecroppers in Tuskegee, Alabama
were purposely infected syphilis just to study the effects. As if that
was not enough, US government scientists infected Guatemalans in the
1940’s also with syphilis just to experiment with penicillin. This
ultra-covert, highly unethical and illegal, malevolent practice of
customarily misusing science, often at top universities with unlimited
taxpayer funding to harness brilliant yet twisted scientific minds to
unleash Nazi Dr. Mengele-type nightmarish experimentation on innocent
human populations is nothing new. For obvious reasons it has largely
been kept secret and hidden from public view and awareness. But enough
concrete evidence has been uncovered over the years to show how
willingly diabolical the US military consistently is toward harming even
its own citizens.
Less hidden but far more devastating evil acts have been perpetrated
by American armed forces on civilians throughout the world. Senselessly
destroying Hiroshima and Nagasaki as densely populated Japanese cities
became the first intended targets and human guinea pigs of the atomic
bomb. And President Truman ordered it even knowing Japan had all but
surrendered already. But even prior to the Enola Gay dropping the atomic
bomb, the US has used chemical warfare killing people all over the
globe with Monsanto made napalm bombs that in one single attack wiped
out 100,000 Japanese citizens. Hundreds of thousands of Southeastern
Asians were napalmed to death during the Vietnam War. White phosphorus
has been used to melt human flesh in Iraq and Israel has used it against
Palestinians. Millions and millions of innocent humans have been
murdered as a result of these most heinous international crimes against
humanity decade after decade after decade with complete impunity at the
hands of both the US and Israeli military.
So developing biological weapons from collecting monstrously lethal
specimens of the Ebola virus should come as no surprise. Or when
considering this already long and extensive US military history,
repeatedly guilty of human slaughter on such mammoth, unprecedented
scale, it should not be so shocking to realize the military purpose of
Ebola as yet another highly destructive weapon in its vast lethal
arsenal could be potentially used to eliminate an enormous segment of
this planet’s readily expendable current human population.
This year’s first outbreak of the hemorrhagic fever virus Ebola started in February in the West African nation of Guinea.
It then began spreading to Liberia and, for the first time, to Sierra
Leone and now Nigeria. With the possible spread to England in attempts
to trace 30,000 people who might have been exposed, and now an American
death in Nigeria and two more Americans afflicted with it here in the
US, Ebola has rapidly grown into what could become a global epidemic
with a potential capacity to wipe out millions. According to recent
statistics from the World Health Organization (WHO) released just last
week, at least 672 people
have died out of a total of 1,201 cases so far this year in West
Africa. However, seven days later the number of fatalities has jumped to 887, a spike of over 200 deaths in just the last few days.
Because the incubation period may last ten days while the infected
victim may not even be aware of any illness, the virus is highly
contagious. Then what begins like typical flu symptoms of fever, later
vomiting as the virus spreads rapidly inside the body causing people to
succumb often within days of its onset. Victims literally die from
internal bleeding that in the final stages can flow out of every
orifice. It has the trappings of a ghastly zombie science fiction
nightmare come true.
In 1976 the Ebola outbreak first surfaced in Zaire
(now the Republic of the Congo) and then concurrently in Sudan though
with different strains, killing 280 people out of 318 diagnosed in Zaire
(88% mortality rate) and 151 out of 284 in Sudan (at a killing rate of
53%). During the nearly four decades since those first outbreaks, little
has been learned of the disease. The origin of the virus is believed to
come from infected animals such as rats, monkeys and bats, all edible
meat that are a main staple and part of many Africans’ diet. The so
called bush meat can be a viral carrier. So humans remain at risk from
animal to human transmission and of course now from human to human
transmission, most often from exchange of bodily fluids.
There is no standard treatment (other than isolating the infected and
quarantining those at risk). Nor is there yet an official vaccine,
although Reuters
just announced that as early as next month the US government will
commence testing an experimental Ebola vaccine on humans after positive
results were found on primates. It has been reported that the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) infectious disease unit and the US Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) will be running vaccine trials “as quickly as
possible.”
This contagious, incurable, highly fatal disease along with the
typical bleeding from the eyes has people around the world reacting in
horror especially with this largest outbreak to date. Both the CDC and
WHO have emphasized that there is no reason for panic as far more people
die from the common flu every year than the less than 2000 people
killed by Ebola since its African emergence nearly four decades ago. The total numbers
show two out of three humans who have been diagnosed with the Ebola
virus, die from it with 1,717 deaths recorded out of a total 2,586 cases
thus far. In stark contrast, 500,000 people die annually from influenza
and a total of nineteen million are believed to have succumbed from the
flu.
That said, it is important to disseminate accurate information of what we have come to learn about Ebola. According to the Public Health Agency of Canada:
“ INFECTIOUS DOSE: 1 – 10 aerosolized organisms are sufficient to cause infection in humans.”
Canadian researchers
separating pigs from monkeys by wired pens found that infected pigs
transmitted the virus by air to the monkeys. Also the viral organism can
survive outside the host for several days at normal room temperature,
evidence that the virus can stay alive on door knobs and household
surfaces and be contagious for a considerable length of time.
The increased near nonstop mainstream reporting about Ebola in recent
weeks is undoubtedly in part government propaganda designed to frighten
people as well as perhaps take some of the heat off its number one
genocidal ally Israel. The security state typically exaggerates or
fabricates crises after crises in order strengthen its control through
fear tactics over the general population. It only solidifies the
absolute authority and power of the police state. Add the media
propensity to over sensationalize as a tool of state sponsored
propaganda and sufficient excuse emerges to activate security forces to
quell ensuing panic and disorder. That said, local citizens in all
nations do need to stay informed of any real global danger if in fact an
Ebola pandemic does break out in a neighborhood near you, whether by
accident or by sinister government design.
Right in stride with the Ebola hype comes the signing of Obama’s latest executive order. “Revised List of Quarantinable Communicable Diseases” allows for the “apprehension,
detention, or conditional release of individuals to prevent the
introduction, transmission, or spread of suspected communicable
diseases,” added to George Bush’s 2003 Executive Order 13295.
This means that anyone with respiratory problems that might include
bronchitis, COPD or pneumonia can potentially be rounded up at any time.
This disinformation of protecting people under benign pretense is the
deceptive bait by which the totalitarian police state closes in on its
stranglehold of the American populace. Every week the government is
ratcheting up conditions ripe for the next manufactured crisis on
domestic soil that will ultimately pave the way for martial law and the
FEMA roundups of American citizens. With these latest developments, we
are one step closer.
Under CDC authority not just people with respiratory problems can be
apprehended and detained against their will under the protocol of being
quarantined. CDC asserts that any healthy American can be detained as
well based on mere suspicion that he or she might have come into contact
with an infected person. This loosening of the criteria for detaining
individuals opens the floodgate for Big Brother to round up virtually
anyone.
In other recent related news, along with people with respiratory
problems, there is a current plan in place to soon be rounding up the homeless in Los Angeles
and locking them up in FEMA concentration camps with implanted RFID
chips. They will be baited with a promised meal. That famous poem by
Martin Niemöller comes to mind about the passivity and denial of so many
German citizens in response to the series of Nazi prewar mass roundups –
“when they came for the homeless, I did not speak out because I was not
homeless.” The Orwellian nightmare is officially underway.
Over the weekend Dr. Kent Brantly,
the American doctor who contracted Ebola while treating patients in
West Africa, arrived in Atlanta and under police escort was rushed off
to the home of the CDC Emory University Hospital. Today another American
medical worker Nancy Writebol came in on a separate flight and was
wheeled into Emory Hospital. Their arrival marks the first Ebola cases
on US soil. Both were given an experimental drug in Liberia that
apparently is improving their condition. Last Thursday before given the
drug the doctor stated he felt he was dying but had already gained
enough strength to walk into the hospital in Atlanta on his own. The new drug
is called ZMapp and was developed by the San Diego biotech firm Mapp
Biopharmaceutical Inc. after showing promising signs treating monkeys
infected with Ebola.
No doubt the US government is highly invested in Ebola for both
potential Big Pharma profits developing a vaccine as well as for a
potential “final solution” as a convenient biowarfare global
population-killer. Speaking of profits, Tekmira Pharmaceuticals,
a company working on an anti-Ebola drug, just received a $1.5 million
cash advance from another killer corporation Monsanto. In the past
Tekmira was also awarded $140 million contract from the Department of
Defense (formerly known more appropriately as the Department of War). In
2010 the CDC
actually did acquire a patent on the strain that erupted in Uganda in
2007 that killed 39 out of 116 infected patients. The CDC patent owning
that particular strain of Ebola from Uganda known as “EboBun” has the
patent number CA2741523A1 and can be viewed here.
By filing for a patent on a product, in this case a highly lethal
infectious disease, the US government is acquiring a governmentally
enforced monopoly to exclusively profit from the “invention.” In the
summary section of the EboBun patent, it stipulates that the US
government in its patent ownership has complete legal control and
ownership over all other strains of Ebola virus that share 70%
and higher similarity. Thus, this deadly West African strain of Ebola
will soon become the US government’s latest prize possession in
biowarfare.
In bringing the two Ebola infected Americans back from West Africa to
the CDC, in addition to optimizing their survival chance, the other all
too obvious explanation is to harvest their Ebola cells for extraction
that will then be used to patent the most deadly strain ever known to man. Infectious disease specialist Dr. Bob Arnot
who worked on the ground in Africa with patients infected with Ebola
virus recently went on television maintaining that “there is no medical
reason to bring them here.” To make an exclusive claim of ownership of
such a highly infectious disease stolen from the afflicted seems in and
of itself invasively and exploitatively sinister. Of course it raises
such red flag warnings and suspicion of how the virus might actually be
used or more apt misused. Typically the government is quick to explore
its military application as potentially the most powerful deadly
biological weapon in the entire world.
Sierra Leone recently kicked
out all US Ebola researchers from Tulane University and the US Army
Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), a known
center for biowar research headquartered at Fort Detrick, Maryland. Just
prior to that event two weeks ago after three nurses died from the
viral hemorrhagic fever, Sierra Leone nurses
working in heavily infested Kenema district actually went on strike
accusing the government’s Ministry of Health and Sanitation of
mishandling the pandemic that is rapidly spreading. They complained that
the medical workers caring for the ill are not properly protected and
are suspicious that the American biowarfare team may be responsible for
the recent surge in deaths. The Sierra Leone government then ordered the
US bioweapons lab at Kenema to be moved due to the mounting anger of
the local population blaming the Americans for infecting their citizens
through their Ebola testing. Posted on the health ministry’s Facebook page
is the conclusion that the diagnostic kits the US researchers have been
using are fake and producing false results. It legitimately asks, “Have
Tulane researchers done something to endanger public health?”
Meanwhile, more people are becoming infected and dying there in that
Sierra Leone district hospital than any other place on the planet.
Compounding the mystery, US mainstream media reported that the Sierra Leone leading doctor died from Ebola but the Minister of Health denied that claim.
WHO is believed to be taking advantage of the crisis in medical
services with pressure to deploy UN security forces in order to launch a
massive vaccination (and possible infection) and quarantine campaign.
In response, 700 soldiers
from the Sierra Leone army have been deployed setting up roadblocks to
help quarantine citizens, permitting only health personnel into the
hardest hit areas. Troops in Liberia have also been sent to help contain
the outbreak there.
The Minister also stated that all new confirmed cases will be
admitted and treated at Kailahun Hospital, not trusting what has been
occurring with the presence of the US biowarfare researchers at Kenema
where rates of confirmed diagnosis have soared recently. Finally the
Sierra Leone government is also demanding that the CDC send the biowar
lab results to the African government for analysis, implicating that the
US research group may be under investigation.
A doctor employed by the French charity organization Doctors Without
Borders even stated that the locals’ perception that they will be killed
in the Kenema hospital where the Americans have been conducting their
research is “understandable,” given that the hospital has become the
pandemic’s epicenter. Both the WHO and CDC documents
admit that historically most of the Ebola victims have died at the
Kenema hospital because of the questionable activities of medical staff.
That sounds like an admission of guilt that the military biowarfare
team instead of accurately diagnosing patients may have in fact
contaminated them with the Ebola virus, possibly using the local Sierra
Leone population as mere guinea pigs for their experimentation.
Back in 2009 Tulane University
Ebola researchers received more than a $7 million dollar grant from NIH
to fund the detection kits allegedly used in Sierra Leone. A 2007
Tulane University release entitled “New Test Moves Forward to Detect Bioterrorism Threats”
boasts of an earlier $3.8 million NIH grant that led to early test
trial success of “diagnostic test kits that will aid in bioterrorism
defense against a deadly viral disease.” This document indicates that
the Ebola biowarfare research team has been experimenting with its kits
on Sierra Leone’s people for at least seven years before they were
ultimately banished recently.
In another astonishing development, a rogue doctor with extensive
experience treating Ebola victims, anonymously released what he calls a simple treatment for Ebola
– massive amounts of Vitamin C. Similar but far more extreme than
scurvy, the Ebola virus essentially drains the body of all Vitamin C,
thus depriving oxygenated blood that bursts capillaries and triggers
internal hemorrhaging that in effect causes victims to bleed to death.
This Ebola specialist maintains that there is no need for a vaccine and
warns against them, adding his opinion that the Ebola outbreak in Sierra
Leone was actually caused by that biowarfare research team. The doctor
recommends a high dosage treatment of 500,000 mg of Vitamin C per day,
emphasizing that it is not a cure but will boost the immune system
giving it the strength to kill off the Ebola virus in the body.
What is most certain in all these developing stories is the rapid
unfolding of global destabilizing events and developments, bogus
accusations and boldface lies streaming forth everyday from the
propaganda mills of mainstream media and the US government. But a closer
examination of what is far more probable the actual truth indicates
that so many of these simultaneous incidents are intimately related, and
a mere connecting of dots spells an evil agenda promoting tighter
control by a desperate security state that is now declaring war on all
people who seek and speak the truth.

NEXT DAY UPDATES:
"Obama praises US-Africa ties in summit; 50 heads of state met in three-day D.C. gathering" by Julie Pace and Darlene Superville | Associated Press August 07, 2014
WASHINGTON — The United States can play a key role in empowering an Africa that is increasingly prosperous despite the continent’s deep and persistent challenges, President Obama said Wednesday as an unprecedented summit aimed in part at fostering Obama’s own African legacy came to an end.
Hailing the three-day conference in Washington as a major success, Obama touted the roughly $37 billion in investments that were spurred by the summit. He said the United States and African nations would work to make the gathering of leaders a recurring event....
Investments are up to $37 billion now and it's about his African legacy (he waits until 3/4 of his presidency before turning to his legacy in Africa? It's going to be the destruction of Libya, dude, over lies).
The president defended US engagement with countries that have problematic records on human rights and corruption, arguing that America’s involvement can help spur those nations to do better. He said universal rights, good governance, and the strengthening of civil societies were high priorities for the United States as it seeks to partner with Africa in the 21st century.
This stuff is disgusting from a still-torturing (I don't care what the propaganda press says), drone missile dropping, covert war-making, total surveillance sphincter.
‘‘We find that in some cases, engaging a country that generally is a good partner but is not performing optimally when it comes to all the various categories of human rights, that we can be effective in working with them on certain areas and criticizing them and trying to elicit improvements in other areas,’’ Obama said.
It's called hypocrisy, and it tells you the U.S. government is concerned about one thing: resources.
Among the leaders treated to an elaborate reception the night before at the White House were figures such as Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, who has pleaded innocent regarding his alleged role in organizing violence that left more than 1,000 people dead.
And it just so happens Kenya has been getting real chummy with China.
Obama has also spoken out repeatedly against recent laws passed in some African countries targeting lesbians and gays.
Why do those countries remain anonymous?
Those concerns took a lower profile during the three days of meetings and festivities in Washington, where Obama sought to cast a spotlight on how the United States is shifting its support for Africa away from humanitarian aid and toward equal economic partnerships. Already, US programs are working to bring electricity to 60 million African homes and businesses, lift 50 million people from poverty, and double the number of children infected with HIV who are taking antiretroviral drugs, Obama said.
While I'm happy for the Africans, the opposite is happening here at home for Americans.
WTF, Obama?
While the world is witnessing the emergence of a new, more prosperous Africa, expanded security cooperation is needed to address threats from terrorism and human trafficking that transcend the African continent, Obama said, alluding to US concerns that extremism in north Africa and the Sahel could destabilize the already volatile region....
China is building things and staying out of Africa's internal affairs and Obummer is talking "security cooperation" needed because of covert US intelligence groups and assets carrying out attacks.
The summit also marked a rare return to Washington for former President George W. Bush, who launched a $15 billion HIV/AIDS initiative while in office and has made public health issues in Africa a priority since leaving the White House.
Just for the record, glad he's gone.
So when does he see the inside of a jail cell?
While Obama has continued Bush’s signature AIDS program, he also has been seeking his own legacy-building Africa initiatives. This week’s summit was seen as a cornerstone of that effort.
He already has it. What is he going to get done in two years that he didn't in six?
