Looting Africa

Er,

Quote:After the wind of democratic change swept through Guinea, however and after the US justice department decided to mount an investigation into circumstances in which the glittering prize at Simandou changed hands that deal was appearing to look distinctly less attractive.


Quote:Unknown to either Steinmetz or Cilins, the FBI launched an investigation in January into whether payments allegedly made on behalf of Beny Steinmetz Group Resources, the Guernsey-registered mining arm of the tycoon's business empire that acquired the rights, were in breach of the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

Quote:After Cilins was remanded in custody, Mythili Raman, the US acting assistant attorney general, said: "The justice department is committed to rooting out foreign bribery, and we will not tolerate criminal attempts to thwart our efforts."

I repeat again: Er.

Does the US have the legal right to interfere in the affairs of a foreign sovereign nations and foreign nationals, even if corruption may be involved? Or have they passed an act (the foreign corrupt practises act) that allows them to do what they damn well please anywhere in the world, irrespective of international law and sovereignty.

Yep, that seems to be the case to me.

Might it be that Soros wants the action and the huge profits involved?

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
