• They place all sorts of barriers and impediments on domestic and intra-African trade and then throw wide open the doors to FOREIGN trade.
• They persecute and imprison their local experts and then spend about $7 billion a year on FOREIGN experts.
• They denigrated their own traditional religion and adopted FOREIGN religions to kill and maim.
• They persecuted, harassed and jailed local businessmen and entrepreneurs. Then they threw the red carpet down to FOREIGN investors.
• They destroyed their production of local foodstuffs and then declared FOREIGN imported food items as “essential commodities.”
• They destroyed their banking system and then kept their wealth or loot in FOREIGN banks.
• They destroyed their health care system and when they got sick, went to FOREIGN hospitals for treatment or to die.
• They destroyed their education system and then sent their wards and children to FOREIGN schools.
• They denigrated their own indigenous ideology and then copied FOREIGN ideologies - Swiss Bank socialism and Jaguar Marxism – to impose on Africa.
