The African Debt

Nearly every sensible person in the Western world has realised, and is realising, that in order to end the HIV/AIDS problem in Africa we must do something about the debt they are in.

Africa spends on average $15 Billion each year paying off debts, so it is no wonder they have no money to deal with other more important issues.

From the outset this sounds like an awful lot of money, but in global terms it isn't. I mean William Gates, founder of Microsoft, is worth more than that! How anyone can sit at home staring at his 'heated' driveway, installed so his children never slip on ice, whilst MILLIONS of children are dying of AIDS in Africa, is beyond me.

Anyway, of late there has been more and more talk of a wondrous event emerging. Both the United Kingdom and the US have been in talks about cancelling the African debt completely! How generous our noble leaders are. What a kind, and wonderful thing to do to our fellow man, I hear you cry.

Well, that would be a truly magnificent achievement and something for both the British and Americans to be finally proud of, after the global humiliation of the Iraq war.

Unfortunately, all is not as it seems. A few months ago I began having my suspicions.

My first question when I found out about them cancelling 100% of the African debt was....'What's in it for them?' I mean you don't just give away $15 Billion a year for nothing do you?

The straight answer is, 'No, you don't!'

Apparently late last night both Anthony Blair and George. W Bush were dining in style at No. 10 debating this very issue. Some say that the 'Bush administration', I never genuinely refer to Mr Bush himself because as everyone knows he is just a malleable figure-head to be easily manipulated by the powers that be, unlike JFK, and look what happened to him! Anyway that's for another day.

Following the meal there was a press release. Then it happened. Exactly what I was waiting for..."We will cancel the African debt 100% (wait for it...) AS LONG AS....Africa gets rid of its corruption, and becomes MORE DEMOCRATIC!

More Democratic just like Iraq needed to be, just like Iran and North Korea need to be.

What the Western powers are planning is African domination. They give with one hand and take with the other, that's how it works.

The UK/USA Union which has existed far longer than most people realise, plan on owning and Westernising Africa so that African's can become consumers just like you and I. They will end debt, that is for certain, but at what cost?
Can Africa really refuse such a generous offer? Of course not, their leaders are some of the greediest bastards in the world. Why do you think the whole Ethiopian disaster of the early 80's came about? War! They spent every penny on arms,( bought from America I might add) which resulted in famine.

Nothing in Africa has changed.

Sir Bob Geldof believes himself to be an intellectual demi-god who will 'charm' the leaders of the world into resolving their problems, and bring us all together in a United world of peace and good fortune....Fuck Off!!! I believe, Sir, that you should take your head from out of your own arse and see what is REALLY going on in Africa. Singing songs alongside the other demi-god, Bono, will do nothing but sell records, you clever little Irish folk. Why don't you try and resolve the fucking conflicts in your own country before spreading your wings to other nations?

Anyway people, as usual we all have to conform, and believe that our great leaders are doing a terrific job, I mean, despite what we all say about them, we still voted them in for another term didn't we?

Yes, Africa will soon be ours, sorry, theirs, to manipulate and develop into a mass consumerist society just like ours. I cannot wait for them all to be wearing Nike, Adidas and Rockport clothing....throw aside your spears, the savages are going to be 'Civilized'!!!!!!!
