For those of you who get international news, you will have realized just how far reaching America’s tentacles are, but you may fail to realize her sense of presence in these sovereign countries. America’s presence in Ghana is dated by events prior to slavery, but we will start with slavery, after which she maintained a foothold, mining gold, bauxite, diamonds, magnesium, etc., etc. When one of Africa’s sons, Kwame Nkrumah, stood up to the challenge of leading blessed Ghana to her independence, America, through the C.I.A., of course, undermined his rule and Africa’s progress and orchestrated his deposal. In 2006, do we think it likely America would abandon so many years of interest. Under our red, gold and green flag, with the black star in the center, flies the flag of the leading government’s party: red, white and blue, with an elephant symbol. Sound familiar? When you go to the deepest village, with no light and a river for water source, there they are, the Peace Corp. Open the news paper and U.S.AID is passing a huge placard check to some poor institution. Turn on the radio, IMF as approved yet another loan. Turn on the television, our President is sitting comfy at the oval office. Right now they have two enormous Embassies (every one else, including England, have one), where they take a non-refundable fee of $100 from about one hundred applicants, daily, and issue less than 5% of the visas requested. They have taken over the Dubious center and much of that entire area, where they are relocating their Embassy. Of course they don’t feel secure unless they cordon off complete neighborhoods, so this new building is in the centre of a little matrix in Cantoments, Accra. Ghana Airways was promptly managed into oblivion (coup-de-company) and closed, only for an American consortium to fly open Ghana International Airways. Very soon they will open a McDonalds that sells banku (local dish). It used to be that America’s favorite little colony in West Africa was Liberia. But they ran that place in the ground, with the assistance of the patsy politricians they reared. Another experiment of divide and conquer. After having shitted all over Liberia, they got out of there. Of course Michelin is still in, and the rest of the pilots (modern day pirates), snatching up gold, diamond and timber, but American diplomats had to abandon a city that no longer had a sewage system in place. So devastating was the effects of the war they fostered, that they simply left the carnage. This meant the loss of a military base that boasted the largest in West Africa, their power seat, their push buttons. Well that problem’s solved, their moving it to Ghana! Correct, America's newest West African military base is in Ghana.
