As I Predicted - the USA Now `Owns’ Ukraine
Dr Vernon Coleman
For years I have repeatedly predicted that the USA and Ukraine would do a deal – and that the deal would effectively mean that the USA takes control of Ukraine’s natural resources.
And yesterday, as predicted, the US Treasury Department announced a minerals deal with Ukraine. (Oil and gas which were excluded when Zelensky had his uncomfortable, televised interview in the White House are now also included the deal.)
There was talk of an `economic partnership’ that was described as `In recognition of the significant financial and material support that the people of the United States have provided to the defense of Ukraine…’
In other words, this is payback time.
The US provided Ukraine billions of dollars’ worth of bombs and bullets.
And now the two countries have signed what is called a `Reconstruction Investment Fund’. Iraq, you will remember, had a `Reform, Recovery and Reconstruction Fund’.
The deal for Ukraine’s natural resources is being sold to the people of Ukraine as a partnership. But it’s a partnership in the way that a joint venture between King Kong and Biffo the Bear would be a partnership.
The UK, which has spent far more than it could possibly afford on defending Ukraine has come away with a huge financial commitment but zilch worth having in return. (The UK does get to be a preferred partner on renewable energy projects. This presumably means we get a share of some windmills. And we get long-term socio cultural ties. Goody.)
America gets the banana split, the two huge scoops of ice cream and the sprinkles. The UK gets a huge overdraft, no minerals, no gas and no oil. We don’t even get to lick the spoon.
How did I know things would work out this way?
Simple.
America was always going to end up `owning’ Ukraine.
It’s how things work.
Here’s what I wrote in my book `Their Terrifying Plan’: `Since the end of World War II, America has created seemingly endless wars artificially based on race, ethnicity, gender, religion or a drive for ‘democracy’, but really about acquiring money, power and control of resources.’
And now read the paragraphs below which are taken from my book `Their Terrifying Plan and which detail what happened to Somalia.
`What was not widely reported was that Somalia’s problems began in the 1980s. Up until that time, Somalia had been pretty much self-sufficient in food. Then the IMF and the World Bank decided that Somalia needed help. And, as Ronald Reagan once said, the most dangerous and frightening words in the world are: ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’
The banks decided that Somalian agriculture needed reform and decided to help.
Before anyone knew what was happening, Somalia had huge, unpayable debts to Washington based financial institutions – particularly the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Somalia had been helped into destruction.
Here’s what really happened.
First, Somalia was told that it needed a ‘structural adjustment programme’.
Within a short time, Somalia became dependent upon imported grain and in order to pay the bills for the imported grain the country had to borrow money.
The cheap imports with which Somalia was supplied by the kindly bankers meant that local farmers couldn’t make any money. Farming communities became impoverished.
At the same time the best agricultural land was appropriated by people with links to the Government. This land was used for producing fruits, oil seeds and cotton which America wanted.
The Somalian currency then collapsed and the price of imported materials rose.
The World Bank decided that it could ‘help’ by insisting that farm animals should be vaccinated.
Naturally, the vaccines and the vets cost a good deal of money. The World Bank said that ‘veterinarian services are essential for livestock development’. The Somalians had managed quite well without vaccines for a very long time. (The vaccine ploy has been used widely for many years and is now universal in the US, the EU, the UK and elsewhere. Farmers who do not have their animals vaccinated are not allowed to sell them. Even pet owners are forced to have their animals regularly vaccinated and micro-chipped.)
Water supplies were then taken over and privatised.
The local farmers, nomadic herdsmen couldn’t cope and were decimated. The World Bank thought this was a good thing because nomadic farmers in sub-Saharan Africa were viewed as a cause of environmental degradation.
The Somalians could then not afford the vets or the vaccines and the result was that Somalian cattle exports plummeted. Their beef was not vaccinated and therefore not acceptable. Instead of buying Somalian beef, their customers bought from suppliers in Australian and the European Community.
The Somalian Government was put under strict controls by the IMF, and tight budget targets were set by IMF ‘experts’.
The banks then provided aid.
Unfortunately, the help wasn’t provided as money or equipment but as food. The Government couldn’t give the food to the people but had to sell the food in order to raise money to pay the foreign banks.
The outside banks then took control of the country.
The economic changes meant that health and education programmes collapsed. School enrolment collapsed, school buildings deteriorated, school materials could not be bought and then schools simply closed. And thanks to the intervention from the banks, wages collapsed by about 90%. The World Bank then took over the civil service. Public expenditure was tightened.
By 1989, Somalia had to find 194.6% of its export earnings to cover its debts. The country was effectively owned by the US controlled banks.
And when the people of Somalia started to starve to death because they weren’t growing any food and couldn’t afford to import any food, the US controlled IMF and World Bank very kindly stepped in with more aid and more loans and more debt.
Actually, of course, the money for those loans comes from Wall Street Banks. And it is the banks which hold the debts.
Within less than a decade and a half the US controlled banks had effectively taken ownership of Somalia and all its resources.
Exactly the same thing has happened all over the world.’
Much the same scenario will now be played out in Ukraine.
Entirely as I have been predicting for years.
It’s how the world is now managed.
