In the Western world, the prevalence of the dollar as a universal standard of value supplanted the gold standard. Because when gold becomes the standard, the countries that have it become the possessors of the wealth. But they tricked the world, and they took the currency and made it their wealth.
And so, they took the wealth—now paper dollars—and bought the gold from those countries with paper. They took the gold, and they own it now. All the gold is in Fort Knox and some other places, and they gave people currency.
Then, after they gave them the currency, they depreciated the currency through wars and told them, now you can borrow more currency at 20% interest. They now own the land.
These are the devils and tricksters, continuing to make developing countries markets for consumption.
The likes of British Petroleum are why the oil pipes of Nigeria are passing through villages where poverty is worst. Nigeria has to import back its own fuel as a processed product at a price three to four times higher than when it is sent out of the country.
So, tell me, Nigeria, after 60 years of mining oil, why, up to date, you don’t have the processing and refinery to purify your oil and sell petrol to the world? The reply was: No, those mines don’t belong to us; the government signed a document with the British government, and it’s in the constitution.
It's the law that Britain will mine this place for the next 99 years. Most don’t know how long the lease is. So, you have the same law that you vote leaders into, and then they get into this law. The Western world always makes sure the person going on to that chair understands the law that protects us.
In 1974, Nigeria was the third-largest oil-producing nation in the world. Today, Nigeria does not own its own oil reserves, which are still the third-largest in the world, but British Petroleum, Shell, and Exxon own all of the rights to oil in Nigeria. They take the oil out of it, and after that, they sell it back to the Nigerian government.
Who did that? The IMF and the World Bank. These are the culprits we are dealing with.
Evidently, the bank system is directly responsible for the inflation crisis by creating money out of thin air and constantly using the fractional reserve banking system. The government can never repay its debt, and the system will inevitably collapse.
The same people who have the audacity to tell us that we are poor countries are taking trillions out of Africa every year. And what is Africa doing? Like an obedient, programmed black men, we just give in. And then one might say, Why is it that African leaders haven’t done anything about this deplorable situation?
Well, let me tell you, my brother and sister have tried. Documented to this day, there have been 22 coups where leaders were assassinated. The first seven, when they decided they were pulling out of the CFA and that they’re going to print their own money, were assassinated.
Every time an African leader tried to do what’s best for their country, they were assassinated. The majority of them were aided by France, who felt that when there was a natural disaster in one country, they wanted to create a coup. So, while the country is thrown into a civil war, they are siphoning the natural resources.
Zaire (now DRC), under the dictatorship of Mobutu Sese Seko, gave up control over their economy to the IMF. This was not a conspiracy; it was just an unknown thing, meaning the government of Zaire had to place IMF officials in its government, in the Treasury, in control of the economy. And then the Western overloads would shape the economy, usually to do two things in the African tropics.
First, they would focus on extractive industries. So, like, “Let’s get this stuff out of the ground as fast as possible without any benefits accruing to the local population." In fact, they would often ruin the environment around them and, you know, make their lives miserable.
And second, they would focus on agricultural resources. So, they would like to force them to do this monocrop, kind of like industrial-scale agriculture, usually of things they couldn’t eat, that they would export to the Western world for their consumption. Rubber, palm oil, coffee, tea, etc.
So, they would like to engineer African society to do this and to be more dependent. This is an export-led model; they want the exports to be cheap. That means they need the currency to be weak, and so they devalue the currency again and again.
They basically want to shrink the economy. They don’t want the government to be providing any subsidies to its people, like healthcare, education, etc.; no, no, no, that is only for rich countries! The dictator takes his cut, of course, but beyond that, there is nothing for the people left over.
Nothing remains for the African people, whose land is being exploited for Western consumption. Basically, they deny our people healthcare, education, basic human rights, and a decent quality of life to satisfy their own neocolonial interests.
