african union

The African Union (AU), formed in 2002 from the vestiges of the Organization for African Unity (OAU), aims to protect the security of the continent, rather than the sovereignty of individual states.

For many today, the mere term mercenary evokes inevitably the image of individual “soldiers of fortune” and other “dogs of war”. But the public generally ignores a far more horrific new reality: the fast growing role of Private Military Contractors (PMC’s). With the collapse of the soviet system in 1989, a new reality appeared. If in the past, some wild-eyed killers for rent or “soldiers of fortune” sold their skills to despots and dictators threatened to be kicked out of power, reactionary company owners out for having a militia capable to break strikes often and early or murky secret service special ops gurus, today, it are the “civilized” states, in full daylight, which sign the contracts: the Pentagon, the State Department, the UN, the OSCE, the African Union and even some NGO’s and the Red Cross!

Much of the work for U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), the U.S. military’s newest geographic command, likely will be done by five teams, each deployed to and designed for a specific region of the continent. The plans for these “regional integration teams” are still being laid, but Pentagon officials want a “split-based, tailored presence” there, not a one-size-fits-all approach that might produce dividends in one region but chaos in another, according to Department of Defense documents prepared in mid-September.

 

The Environmental Conservation Organization put together an exceptional presentation on the North American Union. Point by point they show how this country is being stripped of its national sovereignty and fashioned into a model similar to the European Union. All of your family and friends needs to see this for themselves. The political think-tanks have already made it clear that the EU is the model for the rest of the world.
