US-China Proxy War For Global Mineral Wealth Leaves Thousands Dead

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

In what Russian Military Analysts are reporting is but a “foretaste to
come” of the much larger battles to be fought over our World’s last few
remaining natural resources, the United States and China have engaged in
“open warfare” for the first time leaving an estimated 3,000 innocents
dead in the West African Nation of Guinea which has the World's largest
bauxite reserves and is the biggest exporter of bauxite ore.

Note: Bauxite is the ore from which aluminum is produced. It is refined
to produce alumina, which is further processed to make aluminum which is
a remarkable metal highly prized for its ability to resist corrosion due
to the phenomenon of passivation and which without no industrial Nation
can economically survive the 21st Century.

According to these reports, the United States had secured a “secret”
agreements with Guinean President Lansana Conté and Guinea’s President
of the National Assembly Aboubacar Somparé this past November (2008) for
the ‘sole and exclusive’ rights to that Nations vast bauxite mineral
wealth for Western mining giant Rio Tinto Group, the fourth-largest
publicly listed mining company in the World.

China, however, upon their learning of this “agreement in principal”
between the US and Guinea for this vital mineral, these reports
continue, financed and launched what is now known as the “Christmas
Coup” which resulted in the assassination of President Conté and the
takeover of Guinea by a military junta headed by Captain Moussa Dadis
Camara, and who upon taking power announced to his Nation, “the
government and the institutions of the Republic have been dissolved”.

China further launched a series of attacks against the Rio Tinto Group
arresting some of their top executives for “corruption and espionage” in
July.

Russian GRU resources operating within Guinea report that upon the
takeover of the government by Captain Camara, the American CIA began
“organizing” opposition forces which led to a series of massive protests
that culminated this past September when over 50,000 protesters gathered
at their Nations largest soccer stadium (built by China) and were
promptly fired upon by military forces loyal to the junta and resulted
in over 3,000 deaths. (Note: Official Guinea reports put the death toll
at 57 while a Guinean rights group puts the toll at 157.)

The West’s fury over this massacre led Karel De Gucht, the European
Union's aid chief, to say that Captain Camara should stand trial for a
“crime against humanity” and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to
call the killings ‘criminality of the greatest degree”.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) based in the Netherlands also
announced it has opened an investigation into this massacre with the
office of Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the ICC prosecutor, saying in a statement:
“A preliminary examination of the situation has been immediately
initiated in order to determine whether crimes falling under the Court's
jurisdiction have been perpetrated.”

More ominously for Captain Camara and his junta are Russian Military
reports stating that French, British and American warships are presently
“in route” towards West African with France issuing today an “immediate
order” for all of its citizens to leave Guinea as threats of conflict
and violence appear to be reaching a climax.

China though, these reports continue, appears to have usurped the West
by this mornings announcement that they, not the Americans or its
European allies, now control Guinea’s vast mineral wealth, and as we can
read:

“The Guinean government has signed a $7 billion deal with a Chinese
company to create a mining joint venture in the world's largest bauxite
supplier.

This deal puts China in direct competition with international mine’s Rio
Tinto, American-owned Guinea Bauxite Company CBG, and the Russia’s
RUSAL.

Guinean Mines Minister Mahmoud Thiam did not name the company involved
but said the Chinese firm "will be a strategic partner in all mining
projects" in the West African country.”

Being lost upon the American people as the battle for our World’s
mineral wealth starts to go “hot” is the fact that as the US Dollar
continues its plunge into the “abyss of history”, the “true wealth” of
any Nation seeking to survive this Century lies in commodities, not soon
to be worthless paper currency. And, perhaps, best articulated by the
Asia Times News Service in their report titled When money is worthless,
and which, in part, says:

“The Financial Times on October 6 noted a disturbing new trend - hedge
fund and other investors are increasingly seeking to invest in physical
commodities themselves, rather than in futures. Given the excess of
global liquidity, this is not entirely surprising. It does, however,
raise an ominous possibility of a supply shortage in one or more
commodities, caused by investor demand that exceeds available mine
output and inventory. That could potentially produce a collapse in
economic activity similar to that from the 1837-41 and 1929-33 liquidity
busts, but with the opposite cause.

We have never experienced a global hyperinflation, in which money is
unable to purchase goods, so it becomes worthless. In particular
countries, wars have produced this effect, notably in the revolutionary
wars in both the United States and France, when the "continentals" and
"assignats" became of no value. Similar effects have been produced by
excess money printing in Latin America; in hyperinflationary periods
citizens of Argentina have starved, even though the country is one of
the world's greatest food producers.”

Worse still for the Americans and Europeans in their quest for our
Planets mineral wealth is that aside from “losing” Africa due to the
“massive invasion” of workers, money and military support from China and
its Asian neighbors into the Continent, they are also about to lose
South America, particularly Bolivia which holds the “key to survival”
for every 21st Century technology driven Nation due to their vast
untapped reserves of lithium and uranium, and which nuclear armed
Brazil has vowed to protect “at all costs” from the West.

Note: Bolivia holds over half of the World’s lithium reserves which is
the vital metal needed for the production of batteries used in electric
vehicles and desperately needed by Western Nations seeking to reduce
their dependence on fossil fuels and eliminate greenhouse gasses they
say has led to Global Warming.

So determined is Brazil to defend South America from the Americans and
Europeans (who have exploited this Continent for centuries for the
enrichment of their own pockets while leaving in their wake too much
poverty and too many military dictatorships to count) that upon
Brazilian President Lula da Silva’s warm greeting of Iranian President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at the UN this past month, inviting him to Brazil,
and defending Iran’s right to nuclear power, Western diplomats were left
in “shock” as they watched their once great power over Latin America,
and perhaps their own futures, fade into history.

But to the worst outcome of all of these events, and the more horrific
ones still to come, are the American people (who by all appearances have
descended from rationality into outright insanity) were celebrating this
week their Dow Jones stock market hitting 10,000 points, the US taxpayer
bailed out banking giant JPMorgan reporting $3.5 Billion in profits, and
the criminal enterprise known as Goldman Sachs reporting that they are
now so flush with US taxpayer money and profits from mafia style
interest rates and banking fees they are ready to pay out to their
bankers over $16.7 Billion in bonuses.

All occurring at the exact same time that the US is reporting record
numbers of its citizens are declaring bankruptcy, home foreclosures just
experienced their “worst three months of all time”, their Federal
Reserve is reporting that their “real” unemployment rate is over 16%,
and newly released reports by the US Government itself warn that (in
their words, not ours) that America is facing a “Fiscal Doomsday”.

And in the most outrageous affront to the economically shaken American
people are newly released US government reports showing that their US
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has spent more time talking to
bankers than US Congress leaders, while at the same time his aides,
employees of the American taxpayers mind you, have been racking in
millions of dollars in bonuses from Wall Street.

With all of these events now accelerating to what can only be its brutal
and bloody conclusion, one can only wonder if the words of the great
American and French Revolutionary writer Thomas Paine are going to be
heard once again in America by its citizens suffering under the cruel
tyranny of their despotic leaders and banksters…

“Everything that is right or reasonable pleads for separation. The blood
of the slain, the weeping voice of nature cries, 'tis time to part.”
