Hi Gustave, I enjoy your theories on Africa, and without having read them in-depth, they do appear to be quite plausible. It would only make perfect sense that the world powers would be engaged in a "Kriegspiel" with regard to the huge oil and other mineral reserves which are apparently located in central Africa.

Hi Gustave, you shouldn't be surprised on my appreciation if you had read my previous posts. I did not want to say that there is NO creativity on your side, but LESS than I had expected. After all in the documents presented it was expressed at several places that there IS a collision of interests French/American in African politics, and that the situation is adressed by French politicians. So this motive for one was not made up by you, which increases your scenario's value. Now for some light-weight joking, I should present news I had from yesterday's kulturzeit journal on 3Sat (you might know it). In a short note it was said: 'US ambassador to Germany poses threat to Holocaust memorial in Berlin. The ambassador, Jeff Kornblum, claimed that Berlin's Baerstrasse is to be moved into the site reserved for the central Berlin Holocaust Memorial voiding the decade-long planning process. He said that according to security prescriptions for US embassies renewed in response to the African embassy bombings, the minimum distance between the embassy and the lively road has to be increased.' (citation just by my memory). If this scheme is followed it is likely that no Memorial site in central Berlin can be found. Anyway the process that has finally led to a definite decision only two weeks ago was so sensitive that it is not to be believed that a new decision could be found within, say, five years. Now tell me, is it the Mossad all over again? Or is it a US backlash against Germany? Or against Israel? For the Chinese connection, the bombing of the Belgrade embassy might serve as a hint, don't you think so? CIA Picked One NATO Target, Led To Embassy Hit By Tabassum Zakaria Jul 23 12:05am ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The only target the CIA picked for NATO's 11-week bombing campaign on Yugoslavia was the one that led to the U.S. attack on the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, CIA Director George Tenet said Thursday. is from go2net.com Regards, MNI.
