This will be a multi-part CART Analysis and will include African American leaders who have betrayed the interests of their own in exchange for the benefits of Wall Street.  This part of the CART Analysis is from:

This CART analysis is about what the U.S. military is doing in Djibouti and by extension, the rest of the Horn of Africa.  There is no doubt that some good things have come out of the relationship that the American military has been building in Djibouti.  We must look at this objectively but not without knowing and understanding the history and nature of those who establishes the policies of the American military.  These policy makers are not within the military but are on corporate boards and big stakeholders in stocks and bonds with those corporations.  All of them have a stake in Wall Street on which African slaves were once the main commodity being bought and sold.  Today, it is the precious resources of the African people, the precious metals, diamonds, oil & gas, medicinal products and more.

 

America has failed to secure control of the oilfields in Iraq and other areas in the Gulf region.  The 1975 plan had, as its contingency, the establishment of military bases on the continent of Africa for the purpose of assuring a cheap supply of oil.  Virtually every week you hear about oil workers being taken as hostages in the oil rich Delta region of Nigeria.  This is the result of Black betrayal of large segments of the Nigerian people while fraternizing with the corporate elite of America and Britain.  This will be analyzed more in Part 2.

 

Rear Admiral Timothy Moon is deputy commander of the current U.S. task force in Djibouti. He said, "A lot of things we've done can be viewed as a test bed for processes and concepts that they could put into action over the entire continent."

African people and especially leaders must learn that virtually any moves made by the American military on the continent of Africa is in the interest of American oil and mineral corporations.  This brings benefits to smaller American and European corporations.  Therefore, what Djibouti’s leaders have done by way of prostituting themselves and the future of other African nations, to some extent, was not and is not wise.  Like the transitional government of President Abdullahi Yusuf in Somalia, leaders in Djibouti have been more concerned with receiving bags of money in exchange for American forces and policies that will surely kill millions in Africa, if we do not bring strong opposition to it.  That is the end game. 

 

Admiral Moon’s comments reveals that Djibouti is being used by military intelligence to learn and refine the method America’s Investor Class plans to subjugate African nations.

 

What Do American Military Task Force Do?

The task force focuses heavily on humanitarian work, such as building or upgrading medical clinics and schools in Djibouti as well as other countries in the region.

 

We cannot dismiss good works when they are done on behalf of the people.  However, we can question the motives and always have contingency plans in place, should those motives be a method of economic subjugation of the African people.  This often happens through the use of African leaders who are willing to compromise moral principles and duty first to their own people.  This is betrayal of trust.  We must be willing to lay down our own life to protect the integrity of Africa.  Not only is this true of African leaders but also of African Americans who are increasingly being used by the Investor Class corporate entities to bring a softer and more physically appealing face to the conquering game of humanitarianism.  It is natural for most Africans to see White and then think, it can’t be right.  That is, if they have a knowledge of history and current situations.  As a result, America has put a Black face on its African policy.  This would be no different than Israel using a member of Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jews), who has grown up and been trained in Israel, in a similar manner in Ethiopia.  It is no different than America taking the “Lost Boys of Sudan” into its embrace in America with plans of reasserting them as rebels and proxy leaders into Sudan.

 

In the 1860s, the Ethiopian Emperor, Tewodros II stated that the Europeans first send the missionaries, then the consular diplomats, and finally the military.  This is exactly what we have seen happening in Djibouti and throughout Africa.  This tactic was deployed by the Spanish when they conquered and slaughtered 90% of the native Mexican population.

 

I want the following fact to be clearly understood:  African Americans could turn the economic situation around in most of Africa through first building understanding, knowledge and trust, and then provide the capital investment.  That investment will result in finished goods being produced in Africa and sold by African Americans in America and around the world.

 

Addressing Poverty

Unlike in Iraq or Afghanistan, this nation-building in Djibouti does not follow war. In fact, it is designed to prevent conflict, in large part by addressing widespread poverty.

In a country where most of the land is harsh desert, with few natural resources, the average annual income is about $1,000.

 

The Motive

The best and most effective way to address poverty is through education and business, not aid.  I am sure some of this is being done.

 

It still comes back to motive.  If the motive is to win the hearts and minds of the people instead of actually fighting poverty, the question is why the task to win?  What is it that I have that you want?  Yes, most of the oil that comes to the Western world must sail through the coastal areas of the Horn of Africa.  That would be one reason to “pacify”, as if Africans are infants.

 

With regards to natural resources, the Horn of Africa, including the tiny once French Djibouti, has oil & gas.  Oil & gas is the most craved natural resource of America, Western Europe and industrialized Asia.  The key point to the African people is that you have more than you are led to believe you have.  Otherwise, American leaders would not being caressing you in between the sheets.  It’s like the song of Billy Preston, “Nothing from nothing leaves nothing, you gotta have something, if you want to be with me”.

 

Getting Religious Leaders on Your Side

So, U.S. troops have turned into aid workers. Even military chaplains are involved, by reaching out to local religious leaders.

Chaplain Robert O'Dell said, "We don't focus on the fact that you're Muslim, or Christian, or Catholic, or another faith group, but rather how we can work together to partner, to have a common goal -- and that is to take care of the communities in which they serve."

 

America is simply practicing a rule from the European play book from long ago.  That rule, when applied to Abyssinia (Ethiopia) was that it could never be conquered through military might but it would be bought.  Bought how?  The answer is through aid, the throwing around of money, building a well, building a school, providing clean water, providing medical care, etc.  Unfortunately, through this medical care in the form of free massive scale vaccinations, the biological warfare weapon, HIV/AIDS was also introduced throughout Africa, intentionally giving Blacks a death sentence.  This will be discussed in detail at a later date.

 

As Chaplain O’Dell said, the American military is not focusing on whether the Africans are Muslim, Christian, Catholic or whatever – they are simply looking for a common goal.  This is a very high ideal but it still comes back to the motives of those under whom military Chaplain O’Dell has been given his orders.  The military does not establish the policy but carry out the established policies.  It is the Investor Class of Wall Street that establishes policy by its financial power over politicians.  There are various think tanks such as the Heritage Foundation, the Brookings Institute and others that conjure up and write these policies to perpetually increase the profits of these economic predators.

 

To drive home my point with regards to “pacifying” Black people, you see the true nature of America’s military relationship in Djibouti with the statement, “…..that is to take care of the communities in which they serve”.  This was the statement of Chaplain O’Dell.  The goal should be for the African communities to take care of themselves, as they have done for thousands of years prior to the arrival of Europeans.

 

The Final Assessment

Rear Admiral Timothy Moon says this is the biggest lesson the U.S. military has learned on the Horn of Africa. "The United States really has to have an interagency effort, really bring all the elements of national power to bear. And this is everything: diplomacy, military, economic. And until we do that, we're going to be hard pressed to achieve the objectives over here."

 

The words of Admiral Moon do not bring much reassurance that the pacifying is working.  Why would it not be working? 

  1. Perhaps America is too financially weak to actually spend enough to buy the hearts and minds of the African people in the Horn of Africa.  This leaves a military solution, that of war and proxy wars.
  2. Perhaps diplomacy is not working too well because the African people hear American leaders say one thing and do totally the opposite.  Look at Somalia and the innocent America killed with the AC-130 aircraft in the Kismayu area.  Look at Sudan where the rebels in Southern Sudan has signed a peace agreement with the Sudanese government but America is now going to provide $30 million in military equipment and support.  Look at Zimbabwe where America insists that the opposition party be respected but is actively paying the opposition party to destabilize the Zimbabwe government.

 

Admiral Moon and the military personnel struggle to carryout a mission that is flawed at its very core because it is motivated by American corporate greed instead of a genuine desire that Africans progress.  This is not a problem with the American military but a problem with the corporate barons on Wall Street.
