    They can also take that access away. That's what.


    If say Iran is blocked from using SWIFT, since it's HQ and most of it's servers are in the hands of western nations, than literally any other system will be better be default for Iran and countries like China who have no problem with trading with Iran. lol

    And it is as if you could not figure this out on your own.

    It's hard to know details about whether or not the US is currently attempting to colonise an African nation, but you made a thread on it anyway?

    The question you asked is a little vague. The US has had a de facto-colonizer presence in Africa for a long time. Here's an example.

    http://libyasos.blogspot.com.es/2012/03/intervention-and-exploitation-us-and-uk.html
    (excerpts)
    ---------------------------
    Concessions on oil extraction is granted to two US oil companies. More companies would follow later.
    ---------------------------
    1961:
    September - With the opening of a 167 km long pipe line, oil exportations start from Libya. US oil companies begin to reap huge profits, as do corrupt Libyan officials. Oil goes on to make a few in Libya very rich, but most of the populus do not benefit and remain poverty stricken. [1] [17]
    Libya increases its share of oil profits from 50% to 70%.

    ---------------------------

    https://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Global_Secrets_Lies/Qaddafi_NWO.html
    (excerpt)
    --------------------------
    From 1911 to 1932, the country underwent a harrowing and unsuccessful war of national liberation against its Italian colonizers in which over a million Libyans lost their lives. After World War Il, the country was held "in trusteeship" by massive US and British military presence. Wheehus Air Base, near the ancient capital of Tripoli, became one of the largest US military installations in the world.
    --------------------------

    Your question seems to assume that the US hasn't already colonized parts of Africa. Now Africa is rebelling; we'll have to wait and see what happens. They seem to be in Libya now because of the oil there and it's doubtful that the Libyan people we be able to retake control of their oil.

    Already colonized parts of Africa, or has had a de facto-colonizer presence in Africa?

    It's not done openly any more like the British used to do. Now they install puppet governments so that the country has the appearance of independence. It's hard to tell which countries have puppet governments. If a country has a puppet government that lets foreign companies steal its resources, it's a colonized country with the appearance of independence.
    If the people manage to organize a revolution, the media present the conflict as Moslem extremists or communists trying to overthrow a democratic government.

    Here in Spain where I live there are a lot of Africans. They talk about France, England and the US stealing Africa's resources. That's what happens in colonialism. I don't know all the details.


    Here's some stuff.

    https://thirdworldtraveler.com/Blum/Zaire_KH.html
    (excerpt)
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Why ... did the United States intervene at all?
    The day after the first American shipment of military aid, Washington expressed concern about the possible "loss" to American mining interests in Zaire. However, there was not necessarily a logical connection between a Lunda capture of Shaba province, or even toppling Mobutu, and a threat to foreign investment and loans, and the Carter administration offered no elaboration of its statement. No matter who controlled the mines, they would be looking to sell the copper, the cobalt, and the other minerals. In 1960, the secession movement of these same Lunda forces in then-called Katanga province had been supported by both Washington and Belgium ... And in neighboring Angola, ... when the "Marxist" MPLA took over control of oil-rich Cabinda province, it cooperated fully in business-as-usual with Gulf Oil Company. The Zaire government, on the other hand, in 1974, took over most small businesses and plantations without compensating the owners, and divided the spoils among political leaders loyal to Mobutu, which went well beyond anything the MPLA did.

    Africa and U.S. Imperialism: Post-Colonial Crises and the Imperatives of the African Revolution

    https://www.globalresearch.ca/afric...imperatives-of-the-african-revolution/5335641
    (excerpt)
    -------------------------------------------------------
    For over three decades Congo remained within the orbit of imperialism serving as a vast reservoir for exploitation of its natural resources by the multi-national mining firms and international finance capital. Under Mobutu it also served as a rear base for the imperialists in their efforts to stifle and defeat the genuine liberation movements fighting for the total liberation of Southern Africa which was not realized until 1994 with the coming to power of the African National Congress in South Africa under Nelson Mandela.

    Today, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) remains a bastion of Western intrigue and exploitation. Whole sections of the large country are still not under the control of the central government in Kinshasa.

    Since 1996, it has been estimated that as many as six million people have been killed in the DRC through civil wars that are largely the result of imperialist intervention. This pattern of mass killings has its origins in Belgian colonialism where under King Leopold II, anywhere between 8-10 million were slaughtered between 1876 and 1908.
    -------------------------------------------------------


    Check through this list. There's probably more.

    I talked to a Nigerian who said the Shell oil company was getting free oil in his country the way I described in post #306.

    Where is your detailed examination and scientific analysis? Yet again you just dump a video up and offer nothing!

    Straight out of the gate.... designed to make them money! What exactly do the comments of youtubers contribute? I don't think there exists a worse example of ignorance than the comments found on most conspiracy videos.

    Why will it? Which "bits" does it make clear?

    It will make things clear ONLY to a curious and open mind. Americans have been conditioned over generations to have the opposite of a curious and open mind. We have been conditioned to have closed minds and to ask no questions of authority.
