Erik Prince is bad news!



Blackwater founder creating force to fight piracy and terrorism in Somalia


'Prince of Mercenaries' who wreaked havoc in Iraq turns up in Somalia

Erik Prince, the American founder of the private security firm Blackwater
Worldwide, has cropped up at the centre of a controversial scheme to
establish a new mercenary force to crack down on piracy and terrorism in the
war-torn East African country of Somalia.

The project, which emerged yesterday when an intelligence report was
leaked to media in the United States, requires Mr Prince to help train a
private army of 2,000 Somali troops that will be loyal to the country's United
Nations-backed government. Several neighbouring states, including the
United Arab Emirates, will pay the bills.

Mr Prince is working in Somalia alongside Saracen International, a murky
South African firm which is run by a former officer from the Civil Co-operation
Bureau, an apartheid-era force notorious for killing opponents of the white
minority government.

News of his latest project has alarmed, though hardly surprised, critics of
Blackwater. The firm made hundreds of millions of dollars from the "war on
terror", but was severely tarnished by a string of incidents in post-invasion
Iraq, in which its employees were accused of committing dozens of unlawful
killings.

Mr Prince, a 41-year-old former US Navy Seal with links to the Bush
administration, subsequently rebranded the company "Xe Services" and sold
his stake in it. But he remains entangled in a string of lawsuits pertaining to
the alleged recklessness of the firm.

For most of the past year, he has been living in Abu Dhabi, where he has
close relations with the government and feels better positioned to dodge
lawsuits. In an interview with a men's magazine, he recently declared that
the UAE's opaque legal system will make it "harder for the jackals to get my
money".

The exact nature of his sudden presence in Somalia remains unclear. The
Associated Press said yesterday that the army Mr Prince is training will focus
on fighting pirates and Islamic rebels.

Danka7777: Thanks my brother. You are very enlightened on what is happening in Africa and soon to happen to Nigeria. Continue educating the nescients amongst us, particularly this thing with username Lacasa.


What could the AU do? Zuma at the early stage of the unrest tried to prevent any foreign intervention by brokering a deal between Gaddafi and the Rats, guess what? These forces(Globalists)literally threatened him and he back down. They are now trying to repeat the same in Syria, however Russia and China are prepared to go to world war to prevent another Libya.

I had forgotten about Zuma's last ditch efforts to avert the eventual catastrophe. War and debt has been the sport of Kings(The Holy See(Pope) and his Global Central Bankers) for several centuries.

I try to avoid direct conflicts on Nairaland, especially since I'm not on the front line of the battle and don't want to be banned again.

Thanks for the new vocabulary word, I had to look it up

nescients

Danka7777: Stop these nonsense and get out of my sight. Can't you reason to know that whoever is behind the Boko Haram bombings has an objective of pitting Christians against Muslims, and subsequent division of Nigeria. Can you think? When these people read your post, they say to themselves: THIS IS WORKING! Stop being gullible!

Too late to breathe oxygen into closed minds. The framers of the modern day crusades, and re-colonizers are well on their way in actualizing their plans for conquest.

The AU was asleep during phase one of the plan.

Cotton Comes To Harlem is one of the more famous Blaxploitation films although it never reached the cult status of Shaft or Super fly it was a big budget production. This one is definitely not the typical style though , As it has more of a Buddy cop comedy feel to it.
The story follows two detectives Gravedigger Jones and Ed "Coffin" Johnson as they stakeout a slimy Reverend who is robbing the people of Harlem through promises of a ship that will take all the folks of the ghetto back to Africa

Some outside the box research to contemplate!

Jolly ole Great Britain is in the mix.

Africa’s richest man
Cementing a fortune

The king of concrete has ambitions beyond Nigeria

Dangote, Africa’s Croesus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croesus


IN A grey building on a busy roundabout in Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital, Aliko Dangote deals in everything from cement and sugar to pasta and prayer mats. His ascent did not follow the usual path of the Nigerian mega-rich who feed at the oil trough. A decade ago he took over several failing state enterprises and made them profitable. His critics say he is too cosy with politicians, and that his dominance of certain sectors harms the economy. But his record of building factories and reducing Africa’s dependence on imports is undeniable. “I want to be the most successful businessman in the world,” he says.

At 55, he is ranked 76th on the latest Forbes list of billionaires as Africa’s richest man. He was born into a well-to-do Muslim family in the northern city of Kano. A forebear traded in kola nuts, paid for young Aliko’s business studies in Cairo, and in 1977 funded his first firm, a commodities-trading company that became a continental conglomerate.

Mr Dangote is best known today for supplying cement, which apparently boosted his fortune more than fivefold in 2011 alone. Already sub-Saharan Africa’s biggest cement producer, he plans to float 20% of his $11 billion concrete business on the London Stock Exchange next year. Several Wall Street banks—Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs—are on board. Mr Dangote is confident of meeting rigorous corporate-governance standards. If so, he may help to polish Nigeria’s international reputation, tarnished by internet scams and oil graft.

In 2011 his empire generated revenues of $2.6 billion in 14 African countries. Dangote Group accounts for around 30% of the Nigerian stock exchange and dominates the local capital market. It has debts of $565m and plans to invest $7 billion over the next four years in petrochemicals, mining and infrastructure. Mr Dangote is an avid philanthropist, financing education and health-care projects. But the sheer scale of his business interests, some say, allows him to dominate markets, choking off competition.

Backing the ruling People’s Democratic Party, he gave generously to the campaign of Olusegun Obasanjo, a former president. Mr Dangote then took part in a rapid privatisation programme, greatly increasing his wealth during Mr Obasanjo’s presidency. Today he serves on government panels, including President Goodluck Jonathan’s economic team. “If you want to do business,” he says, “you have to foster a good relationship with the government of the day. If you don’t, how do you expect the government to listen to your complaints?”

The Depression Goes Global

by Charles Goyette

Recently by Charles Goyette: Goosing the Market




While the attention of the financial world and the business press have been focused so completely on the daily developments in Europe – though there's not a game changer among them - other economic news from around the world has been largely crowded out.

The real news is that the depression is going global.

The spreading of the slowdown can be seen in the so-called BRIC nations. Surging growth from Brazil, Russia, India, and China has helped drive some of the world's economic vitality for a few years now. But the downturn is now taking hold in those countries, leaving little to resist the rip tide of depression.

Here are some economic highlights from each of the BRIC nations:

Brazil: Commodity exports are crucial to the Brazilian economy. China is the largest buyer of Brazil's exports, so a slowdown in China and lower commodity prices have affected Brazil. Growth has slowed considerably there already. 2010's 7.5% growth was sliced to only 2.7% last year. It's a trend in force: the Brazilian economy actually contracted in April. Foreign investments in Brazil appear to have reversed and become disinvestments.

Russia: Resource revenues, primarily earned from oil and natural gas exports, have helped drive growth of the economy and the middle-class in Russia. But it is a restive middle class that has taken its anti-Putin protests to the streets. As natural gas prices have taken a big hit in the last few years, and with oil down sharply since spring, Russia will run larger deficits, financed by inflation, a policy that will create more unrest. Earlier this year, the Russian central bank, which has been a net buyer of gold, surprised many with its first gold sales in five years.

India: Consumer price inflation in India is about 10%; food prices are increasing at a rate closer to 11%. Interest rates are high, the state deficit is widening, manufacturing has turned down sharply, and GDP growth is stalling. Standard & Poor's, which dropped the outlook for Indian debt from "stable" to "negative" in April, says the slowdown puts India's investment grade debt rating at risk.

China: Now the second largest economy in the world, China's demand has had a huge impact on commodity prices. Slipping commodity prices may tell more about what is going on (or not going on) in China than any official numbers, which are no more reliable than government numbers in the U.S. Besides the slowing export sector determined by conditions outside the country, China has blown up a huge real estate bubble of its own. Central economic planning, state -owned enterprises, and crony deals, all widespread in China, are no more functional there than they are anywhere else in the world.

The People's Bank of China's concern about a slowdown was seen earlier this month as it cut key interest rates for the first time in years.

It has become a cliché, but it is nevertheless true that we inhabit a global economy. We cannot escape the effects of slowing conditions elsewhere in the world. Thanks in part to emerging market demand, U.S. exports were up 17% last year, mostly in manufactured goods. As emerging markets slow, so do U.S. exports. China's slowdown threatens its ability to continue sponsoring U.S. debt. And then there is the inevitable currency warfare that ensues in a slowdown, as countries "race to the bottom" in their competitive devaluation of their own currencies, in the futile hope of generating prosperity by stimulating exports at the expense of destroying the people's purchasing power.

My local newspaper sums up the G-20 nation's talks in Mexico with a headline that reads, "G-20 talks on Europe debt spur optimism: Obama is encouraged strong action is near." It's like Groundhog Day. It's no different than the news stories about the European crisis that have run for years now. But no matter how many times the scene is repeated, the crisis of sovereign nations that spend more than they produce and cannot pay their bills is not fixed by loaning them more money.

The media focuses relentlessly on re-writing old news from Europe over and over. But despite the optimistic headlines, it is a situation that worsens as the debt deepens with each new rescue plan.

Meanwhile few notice that the tide is going out on the global economy.

Panic in the New World Order

Politics / New World Order Jun 23, 2012 - 09:07 AM

By: Gary_North

Politics

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleFor the first time in my career, I see the international establishment, sometimes called the New World Order, facing a crisis so large that its very survival is at stake. For the first time, these people are scared.

There are not many of them. In his book, Superclass, author David Rothkopf estimates that there are only about 6000 people at the top of the pyramid of world power and influence. They are mostly males, and at least a third of them have attended America's most prestigious universities. Most of the others have attended comparable universities in Europe.

The crisis in Europe is clearly beyond anything that this generation of establishment leaders has ever seen. The last time that anything like this faced the European establishment, it led to World War II.

During the entire postwar period, the United States has been the dominant force in the West. The United States government through the Marshall Plan wrote the checks to keep the European governments afloat, and it funded most of NATO, the mutual defense system that was set up to constrain the expansion of the Soviet Union.

The United States is no longer in a position to bail out anybody. It is running a massive trade deficit, and is running a massive federal deficit. Europe realizes now that, from an economic standpoint, it is on its own. If there are solutions to the European economic crisis, these solutions are going to have to be generated inside the euro-zone.

Young African leaders visit Miami

By Bea L. Hines
bea.hines@gmail.com

Our city will be honored with the presence of six young leaders from Africa through June 28. The Miami Council for International Visitors (MCIV) will serve as host to our guests, who are a part of a 60-member delegation, who are in this country as a part of the Innovation Summit and Mentoring Partnership with Young African Leaders, hosted by the State Department.

On June 13, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton welcomed the visitors to the summit, a three-week professional development program sponsored by the federal government in collaboration with implementing partner, Meridian International Center. The program is a part of the Obama Administration’s long-term program to engage Africa’s young leaders who are actively promoting positive change in their communities. The President’s Initiative, which began with the president’s Forum with Young African Leaders in 2010, has included more than 2,000 U.S. government-sponsored programs for young leaders across Sub-Saharan Africa in addition to First Lady Michelle Obama’s Young African Women Leaders Forum, held in South Africa in June of 2011.

In addition to Miami, other participants will travel to business internships in Seattle, Charlotte, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Huntsville, Denver, Chicago and Cincinnati for the mentoring partnership with other U.S. companies and non-profit organizations. Their two weeks in U.S. cities will give them a hands-on experience in the American workplace and exposure to cultural aspects of American life. Closing ceremonies will be on June 29 and 30 in Chicago.

The six who are visiting Miami are: Eileen Barbosa, economic advisor to the Prime Minister of Cape Verde; Curtiss Dakpogan, director of operations at the Port of Cotonou in Benin; Jacqueline Mkindi, executive director of the Tanzanian Horticulture Association; Saraha Rasoambolanoro, manager of a youth civic center in Madagascar; Segun Shetan, founder of Bright Youth Organization, Lagos, Nigeria; and Fistame Woldemichael, a children’s author and publisher of Habte Books in Ethiopia.

While here, Annette G. Alvarez, executive director of MCIV said, our guests "will be matched with wonderful people and organizations who have agreed to allow them to ’shadow’ them for a few days."

Some of the stops they will make include the Carrie Meek Entrepreneurial Center, Tacolcy Center, the Overtown Youth Center, Paradise Farms and the Port of Miami. The group will also visit a local church.

For more information on the Miami Council for International Visitors call 305-421-6344 or go to www.miamiciv.org .
