THE COVERT CONQUEST OF AFRICA BY THE USA, FRANCE AND ISRAEL AFRICA COVERT CONQUEST OF THE USA, FRANCE AND ISRAEL THE The United States and its European and Israeli allies are cooperating to disrupt China’s newfound influence in Africa and exert economic and military control while manipulating insurgencies to fit their hidden agendas. Order from Chaos? repeat of the disorder and pandemonium generated inside Afghanistan is in the works for the continent of Africa. The United States, with the help of Britain, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, created the brutal Taliban and then eventually waged war on its Taliban allies. Similarly, across Africa, the United States and its allies are creating a new series of future enemies to fight, but after initially working with them or using them to sow the seeds of chaos in Africa. Washington has literally been helping fund insurgencies and regime- change projects in Africa. "Human rights" and "democratisation" are also being used as a smokescreen for colonialism and war. So-called human rights and humanitarian organisations are now partners in this imperialist project directed against Africa. The United States and its European and Israeli allies are cooperating to disrupt China’s newfound influence in Africa and exert economic and military control while manipulating insurgencies to fit their hidden agendas. France and Israel: Is Washington Outsourcing its Dirty Work in Africa? Africa is just one international front for an expanding system of empire. The mechanisms of a real global system of empire are at work in this regard. Washington is acting through NATO and its allies in Africa. Each one of Washington's allies and satellites has a specific role to play in this global system of empire. Tel Aviv has played a very active role on the African continent. Israel was a major supporter of South Africa under the apartheid regime. Tel Aviv also helped smuggle arms into Sudan and East Africa to Balkanise that sizeable African nation while contributing to the destabilisation of East Africa. The Israelis have been very active in Kenya and Uganda. Israel has been present wherever there were conflicts, including ones pertaining to blood diamonds. Israel is now working with Washington to establish total hegemony over the African continent. Tel Aviv is actively involved—through its business ties and intelligence operations—in securing the contacts and agreements required by Washington for the extension of its interests in Africa. One of Washington's major objectives is to disrupt the development of Chinese influence in Africa. Israel and Israeli think-tanks have also played a major role in shaping the US geo-stratagem in Africa. France, as a former colonial master and a declining power, on the other hand has traditionally been a rival and competitor of Washington on the African continent. With the rise of the influence of non-traditional powers in Africa, such as the People's Republic of China, both Washington and Paris envisaged ways of cooperating. On the broader global stage, this is also evident. Both the US and several of the major powers in the European Union consider China and other emerging global powers as a threat. They have decided to end their rivalries and work together. Thus, a consensus between Washington and the EU has unfolded, leading to some forms of political integration.
