The Bush administration in its quest to bogard world oil has cast its eyes on the motherland. Unsatisfied to wage war just in the so called "Middle East" over what many refer to as "black gold," (remember in g-o-d: gold, oil, and drugs -- they trust),  Bush and Co. have put Africa and South America in their cross hairs. Africa is the second largest continent on the planet and one of the richest if not the absolute richest in holistic terms.

It holds about 10% of the world's oil reserves.  In addition to minerals such as gold, uranium, platinum, copper, manganese, cobalt, bauxite, iron, tin, gypsum and gem diamonds the West uses to power their hi tech culture and lifestyle, the West especially AmeriKKKa covets the oil reserves within the vast continent.

Bush and Co. are greedily ogling Africa, particularly the Western  and Southern regions. AmeriKKKa's lust for crude and their fear that global demand will eclipse supply within the next few decades fuels the Bush foreign and energy policies. Most folks know about North African oil, specifically  Libya, Algeria, Egypt with their total proven reserves of 41.6 billion barrels and some are familiar with Nigeria, in West Africa, with its proven reserves of 22 billion barrels. But few have paid attention to countries like Cote d'Ivoire with proven reserves of 100 million barrels, Congo-Brazzaville with 1.5 billion or Angola with proven reserves of 5.4 billion barrels. You'd be surprised at the amount of oil in Africa.  African Oil

George W. Bush fancies himself emperor of an increasingly belligerent AmeriKKKan empire. If his lies don't prove to be his undoing, Bush will continue his Cabal's grab for the world's resources under the guise of fighting terrorism, bringing "stability" and "humanitarian aid" to his victims and targets. This is nothing new, this is how European imperialists operate. As Dr. Wilson said, "truth must be taken for the lie; the lie for truth." 

Bush is in Africa setting up a beachhead for imperialist forces to control sub-Saharan oil and to scope out their other natural resources. Bush, Cheney, et al have put Africa in their cross hairs. They covet the oil and natural resources on the continent. West Africa will play a major role in their goal to control the world's oil supply; countries like Nigeria, Congo-Brazzaville, Cameroon, Cote d'Ivore, Guinea, the Democartic Republic of Congo, Angola in the South and Somalia and Sudan in the East have proven reserves of crude oil in the millions and billions of barrels range. Africa in Cross Hairs

No one in their right mind believes Bush when he says the issue with Iraq is their threat of Weapons of Mass Destruction. If that were the case why aren't they moving on North Korea, India, Pakistan or Israel?  Bush said nothing about India or Pakistan who were on the brink of war two years ago and who both have nuclear weapons?! What about Israel and their nuclear capabilities especially in light of their aggression in the West Bank?  My question is why is Bush using diplomatic channels in North Korea but ready to invade Iraq which has been subjected to ongoing devastating, bombing and strafing raids as well as crippling economic sanctions for twelve years? 

Is it because like most bullies the Bush cabal isn't about to pick a fight it isn't absolutely sure it can easily win, so it's easier to pick on the weak, the infirm and the beatable like Iraq and Afghanistan?  The AmeriKKKan public has been under a relentless psychological campaign ever since 9-11 to convince the masses AmeriKKKa is under attack from a rag muffin billionaire living in a cave (while suffering from kidney failure) in Afghanistan and a madman in Baghdad who were propped up by the CIA  in the first place. Notice Bush said nothing about Osama bin Laden in his speech?  Whatever happened to the boogey-man terrorist with the huge bounty on his head?

Has AmeriKKKa gone insane? Are we going to allow madmen on both sides of the aisle (Biden and Lieberman are just as fascist as Bush) to push humanity into the abyss of  global conflict? The European cultural matrix/paradigm of intrigue, war, disease, looting, pillage and plunder continues, only this time brazenly for all the world to see. Making Imperialism Sound Like Righteousness

Poor whites and indentured servants who were one step away from serfdom themselves, were pressed into service and compelled to support the police state as it waged war against the Indians and brutally suppressed the Africans. To better glean the scope of ruthlessness and the thoroughness of the police state, read A. Leon Higginbotham Jr.'s In The Matter of Color and Kenneth M. Stampp's The Peculiar Institution. Many of us are familiar with the legalized racial caste in AmeriKKKa, what we may not be familiar with is the rise of corporate fascism and how it plays itself out now.

AmeriKKKan fascism is not new. Many upper class AmeriKKKans embraced fascism in the 1930's. Rich Gibson in an essay entitled "What Is Fascism?" stated, "Fascism and capitalism are inseparable. There has never been a form of capital that was not built on a fascist base--from early British action against the Chartists to today's varieties of imperialism. All major capitalist nations have fascist ties. Hence, while fascism may not be the dominant form of capitalist government, elements of fascist ideology (biological determinism, rabid nationalism, etc.) and fascist organizations (sectors of the police, KKK, skinheads, etc.) are always present. What is Fascism
