Good Afternoon ATS,
We're all familiar with the threads that cover the NWO and possible endgame or police state scenarios. We read them everyday here, with some
providing more compelling evidence than others. We've heard that evil forces are aligning in the Denver International Airport, or that powerful
families in secret societies are amassing in locations around Europe.
I will begin by saying that I am usually a skeptic on these type of issues. But something rather interesting occurred to me the other day...
Why is Africa so very much forgotten by conspiracy theorists, and everyone else for that matter?
Let's do some quick research. Okay, maybe not so quick, these links are lengthy.
en.wikipedia.org...
And also...
www.uneca.org... (This link is from 2006)
Both of those links contain a large amount of information, but I found a few tidbits that I wanted to expound on... namely natural resources,
population, and poverty.
Africa provides the following approximate percentages of the world's known deposits of the following resources.
COBALT: 90%
PLATINUM: 90%
GOLD: 50%
CHROMIUM: 98%
TANTALITE: 70%
MANGANESE: 64%
URANIUM: 33%
COLTAN (used in cellular phones): 70%
DIAMONDS: 30% of the world's reserves
Just by this small sampling of the African continents bounty, you can get an idea of the massive amount of wealth that is there. Not to mention other
commodities such as oil, wood, water, granite, coffee, etc. Africa is a cornucopia of plenty... and yet, at least 80% of the population lives under
the poverty line as dictated by the United Nations. Where is all the investment from foreign nations, other than China? Why is no one devoting
significant capital into finding, harvesting, and processing these resources?
Africa has a population of over 1 billion people. That's correct... one billion. Even considering the rampant spread of poverty, illiteracy, disease,
etc.... you would expect to find at least one major world power. And yet, even the most modern of African nations (South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia) are
considered borderline second world nations at best.
With all of these factors considered, why has the Dark Continent remained so? Why hasn't the United States, China, Russia, or the European Union made
significant inroads throughout the continent to exploit its natural resources, it's labor pool (not talking about slavery here), it's unknown
treasures?
Could the possibility be that there are some rather unsettling things happening? And by unsettling, I mean things like..
Illegal genetic testing.
Illegal splicing.
Disease testing/vectoring.
And any number of other nasty things the 'civilized' world would immediately condemn and shut down.
If I were to want a place to do 'unsavory' or illegal work, I could think of no better place than the continent that the world has forgotten. Sparse
to no satellite coverage, very low level of technology, a population that is not aware of much of the goings on of the world.
What say you all? Does anyone have any links to strange goings on in Africa, if so please post.
Thanks for reading this and sharing your thoughts.
