King Leopold Il of Belgium, who reigned for 44 years, killed over 10 million Africans in Congo. Just imagine what has been happening over the last 500 years. Merciless cruelty and genocide on a global scale. Whatever happened to the Incas, the Aborigines of Australia, the Red Indians? More than 300 million Africans were taken as slaves to America. Some critics have described slavery as the main reason for Africa remaining poorer while the colonisers enriched themselves. What is rarely discussed is the calamity that fell on the colonised.
Another example is the French colonial empire, which robbed the Africans of their wealth in a very unique way. Firstly, the French decided to confiscate (steal) all the gold reserves from their colonies when giving them independence. If one can call that independence. For decades, 14 African countries (French Colonies) had a common currency that fell under the so-called ‘Franc Zone’ [1], which was divided into two entities, WAEMU and CEMAC:
- West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU)
- This included Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal, and Togo. Their central bank was the BCEAO.
- Economic and Monetary Community of Central African States (CEMAC)
- This included Cameroon, Central Africa, Congo, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and Chad. Their central bank was the Bank of Central African States (BEAC).
France retained control over all foreign exchange reserves of these above-mentioned countries. These countries were required to have 85% of their foreign exchange reserves at the Banque De France in Paris. The “franc of the French Colonies of Africa” benefitted the French immensely at the expense of its colonies [2]. Even now, these former French colonies are forced to pay an annual colonial tax to the sum of 440 billion euros. The tax is collected based on the idea that they owe France for the benefits of having colonial rule.
Just imagine if 440 billion euros were spent on education, healthcare, and welfare programs in those 14 African countries. But what is even more astonishing is that France has the first say on any new natural resource found in those 14 countries.
What happened to Europe post-1492 was that it lost its conscience. It all started with Christopher Columbus, Queen Isabella of Castile, and King Ferdinand II of Aragon; what would they have to say if they visited today’s America? America that no longer has a conscience and is always at the forefront in the promotion of:
- Debtism
- Usury-based Banking System
- Gambling
- Hedonism and Consumerism
- Alcohol and Drug Addiction
- Destroying Traditional Family Systems
- Gender confusion
- Vulgarity
- GM Foods
- Wars for natural resources
Since World War Two, America has experienced its golden age, just as Western Europe had its 500-year-long golden age. One may argue that when Andalucía’s golden age under the Muslims ended, a new European golden age started. But, there is a huge difference between the two. The first was a two-eyed golden age and the second a one-eyed golden age.
As a hegemon, America’s primary focus has been to ensure that vassal states follow the American agenda by taking on more debts and subsequently handing over their natural resources to Western Corporations when unable to repay debt. The second part of the foreign policy has been to promote Western brands and products in all vassal states. Brands cannot succeed without cultural changes and media promoting consumerism and hedonism.
The minions of the Antichrist in institutes such as the IMF and the World Bank push countries to change their cultures and adopt more Western values. For example, in Pakistan, the IMF staff encouraged women’s clothing should show more of their body parts. Pakistan used to be a conservative country, but now it has significantly changed since the IMF started to intervene in cultural matters. The American brands from the Americanisation of Pakistan.
