Le School

Just finished a big research essay on Liberia and "conflict" resources. What an eye-opener and how utterly depressing. What freaked me out is that people actually believe that if we didn't have a shithole in the world to plunder our lives would be way less cushy. Stupid humans. I thought that gun runners like Victor Bout would be more responsible for the problems, but it is foreign policy thats really messing things up. Even the UN used a known arms dealer for transportation as did humanitarian aids. The whole concept of "relief aid" is crap too. It is set up to appear to help, but in reality it is still designed to keep countries dependent. Most of that aid goes into infrastructure so multinationals can access resources. And yes, a lot of the governments are corrupt, but who helped these people get into power in the 1st place. Give a person just enough money to throw the country into civil war and any "help" you give goes a long way into filling the lining of your pockets with diamonds. If I ever become a very rich man I will set up a private militia to wipe out the evil empire in Africa.
