AFRICOM

AFRICOM is American military shorthand for the United States Africa Command. You might wonder what it does, why it was created, who it is supposed to benefit. These questions certainly occurred to plenty of blacks in Africa which is why AFRICOM is based in Stuttgart, the one in Germany, not Africa. Africans like it that way. So do Americans. Stuttgart is pretty civilized. The skiing is accessible in winter. There are no nasty diseases or blacks for that matter. So what is it all about? It could just be a power play, empire building, a take over of everything worth having in Africa. Now light has been cast by African Crisis at Secret US Military Documents Reveal 46 American Military Bases Across Africa! - My Analysis. Who would have thought it?

The White House has said:

[AFRICOM] will strengthen our security cooperation with Africa and create new opportunities to bolster the capabilities of our partners in Africa. Africa Command will enhance our efforts to bring peace and security to the people of Africa and promote our common goals of development, health, education, democracy, and economic growth in Africa.

With the president of America doing your marketing for you the rest is easy. Budget constraints are not an issue. Promotions galore. Empire building is the name of the game for the career minded officers in the Army. No doubt the Navy and Air Force can see room for them too. Let's not forget the US Marine Corps, a fine band of men. So we can see why the American military is on message.

But what about those African doubters? What's in it for them, apart from high tech air strikes, local wars, looting et cetera? One clue comes from the current [ August 2011 ] war on Libya. AFRICOM does not get a mention any more than the fact that Obama, our wonderful black president used a Forged Birth Certificate because he was born in Kenya. So girls and boys of AFRICOM are still in Stuttgart, for public consumption of course. What is Libya about? The main explanations are Oil,  high level lunacy among the rulers of the West and Jews manipulating our rulers.

So the short answer is that America is empire building in Africa as well. The Chinese are doing it because they want access to Oil, copper, tungsten, you name it. China has lots of American dollars, i.e. billions if not trillions. China has no silly hang ups about bribing people who matter. China is going to win this one.

Why be in Brazzaville when you can be in England, Germany or even Florida? I would not with that kind of choice.

There is a war going on there. Something must be done. Invade and steal the Oil? Sounds like politics as normal to me. That is what Iraq is about. It would be MUCH cheaper to buy it honestly but we are talking politics here.
