US Trained Mali Rebels Who Overthrew Government
General Carter Ham, the AFRICOM commander for the Pentagon, admitted last week that the US had helped trained the Mali rebels, including Captain Amadou Sanogo, who led the military coup which overthrew Mali’s constitutionally-elected government.
In describing the statement Ham made at the Ralph Bunche center, Veterans Today editor Gordon Duff is highly critical of Ham’s support for widening US military involvement in the region, including the recent establishment of drone bases in Niger.
Duff is extremely concerned that the US lacks the intelligence resources in Africa to prevent the horrendous “collateral damage” nightmares drones have caused in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen.
He goes on to describe Mali as a “domino” in a misguided and poorly thought out destabilization effort aimed at creating a generation of warfare.

So, all those crazy stories about the new world order, AFRICOM and killing off 90% of the world population are true, ‘conspiracy theory’ cried the bankers and their paid for political agents ! Now I have to believe the FBI Etc. run all terrorist op’s
Chris, I still advise discretion on which conspiracy theories you choose to believe. The problem is that the ruling elite is neither unified or consistent. In my experience, they tend to be a little whackier than the rest of us.
The basic problem, in my view, is there is no effective check on their nefarious schemes. I think there are a few far out whack jobs who fund both sides of a conflict because they want to reduce global population. I think more do it because there are immense profits to be made – both from the sale of arms and military equipment and opening up African resources (oil, minerals, gold, diamonds – and now agricultural land) to greedy western corporations.
