Elsewhere, other citizens, mainly the youth, danced their way into 2012 at night clubs and discotheques.
The two groups had one thing in common – peace and prosperity for themselves, their country and mankind – but chose different routes to express them, a tour of Accra by Ghana News Agency on December 31st night to the dawn of January 1st, 2012 revealed.
In Accra, a lot of worshipers thronged churches clogged in white apparels. Most churches witnessed large number of congregants some of whom were unable to find seats.
Those unable to find seat were equally happy to be within church premises to welcome the New Year.
As the minutes ticked by into the New Year, there were shouts of praises and prayers that could be heard from distances signifying the dawn of year 2012.
On the streets of the capital, revellers sang in groups from place to place while some youth went from house-to-house singing carols to solicit funds. Just before midnight, pastors invited their congregations to say prayers for the New Year, especially as Ghana enters another election year..... | ____________________________________________ - Documentary about 2008 election premiered - Nduom Asked To “Formally” Leave CPP - Ghana enters New Year with prayers and revelry - CPP Official Statement On Dr. Nduom's Resignation From The Party - Death threats on Bawku Police Commander - 31st December 1981 Revolution - Purity builds a nation, not gold or oil - Otabil - Veep justifies hike in petroleum products - Investors Have Free Hand To Do Business - Prez .

COCOA FARMERS in the Jomoro District of the Western Region have vented their spleen on some cocoa purchasing clerks for allegedly exploiting them in the area through the manipulation of their weighing scales.
According to the cocoa farmers, since most of them weighed their cocoa beans in their homes before sending the commodity to the various sheds, they were able to detect the disparities on respective scales, which was to their disadvantage.
“It is only proper to give back to us, the cocoa farmers, our fair share of the proceeds from our toil and labour,” they noted, adding that farming used to be a lucrative venture for people living in rural areas but the trend had changed.
They have therefore called on the Ghana Cocoa Board to intervene and ensure there is a standard scale for weighing their cocoa beans, otherwise they would smuggle the commodity to neighbouring Ivory Coast to sell.
These came to light last week during a public forum organized by the Jomoro District Cocoa Farmers’ Association at Elubo. The forum was sponsored by the Business Sector Advocacy Challenge (BUSAC) fund in the Jomoro District.
Nana Osei Tutu, Vice Chairman of the Association, remarked that it had been the practice of some of the clerks in the area to manipulate their weighing scales to cheat cocoa farmers.
He indicated that even though his outfit had made several complaints to the authorities concerned about alleged misdeeds being perpetrated by some of the purchasing clerks, nothing had been done to salvage the situation.
Cadmond Dadzie, a service provider at BUSAC, indicated that it was a criminal offence to tamper with weighing scales with the intention to cheat farmers.
He appealed to the officials of the Ghana Standards Board to make some unannounced checks of the weighing scales used by the purchasing clerks, as they did to the operators of the various petrol filling stations, to help curb the unwholesome practice. | - Ghanaians React To Fuel Price Increases With Mixed Feelings - Halt The Fuel Price Increases - AFAG - Two dead, many injured in separate accidents in Accra and Kumasi - Mallam Threatens To Kill 8 MPs - Jail Bell?

| | Friday, 23.12.2011 / 23th December | Ashaiman Thieves Busted
TWO SUSPECTED burglars have been arrested and brutalised by some aggrieved youth of Ashaiman New-Tulaku for allegedly breaking into the room of Musah Ibrahim, a resident.
The suspected thieves allegedly stole items worth thousands of Ghana cedis from Ibrahim’s room.
The suspects gave their names as Richard Awuah, a 19-year-old cattle herdsman and Eric Yeboah, 18-year-old unemployed, both residents of Ashaiman. They were said to have stolen laptops, a cell phone, video deck, television set and an unspecified amount of money.
Narrating the incident which led to their arrest to DAILY GUIDE, Ibrahim noted that on that fateful day, December 13, 2011, he travelled to see his family. The next day, he returned to his room only to detect that some of his property were missing.
According to him, he picked up information from some residents who claimed to have spotted the suspects stealing but they couldn’t arrest them.
Yeboah was identified as one of the suspect by some of the resident when he resurfaced in the area a week after the act and he was apprehended.
According to Ibrahim, Yeboah, in his confession, alleged that after taking the items, he and his accomplice gave them to a certain Beloo, who is currently on the run.
Yeboah was said to have led the youth to Awuah’s hideout at Kasoa in the Central Region where he was also apprehended and taken back to Ashaiman.
Some of the irate youth were heard calling for the burning of the suspects, with others suggesting they should be sent to the nearest police station but DAILY GUIDE’s checks at Ashaiman Main Police Station and Community 22 Police Station, the nearest stations they could have been sent to, revealed that no such case was recorded.
The suspects sustained injuries on their face, forehead, legs and other parts of their body.
Yeboah claimed to have sold the only phone among the alleged stolen items for an amount of GH¢3.00.
Most of the residents could not hide their joy at the development as, according to them, thieves had being terrorizing them.
They added that the suspects deserved the instant justice as it would put fear in others who might want to come to their area to steal. |

USA and Netherland "scientists" at the Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam have created NEW Bird Flu Virus - H5N1 bird flu - that spreads as easily as winter flu !!!!!!!!!!!!! Claiming, that the flu virus was only created to be used to create a vaccine "AGAINST" bird flu!!! This new virus is able to cross the barrier of human defence!!! A super-strain of bird flu that could infect and wipe out millions has been developed in a laboratory. Dutch scientists who created the ‘Armageddon virus’ say it is ‘probably one of the most dangerous viruses you can make’.
This underlines Muamma Al Gaddafi`s statement in 2009 at the Unided Nations!!!
Read the speech of Muammar Al Gaddafi:
...In the name of the African Union, I would like to greet the members of the General Assembly of the United Nations, and I hope that this meeting will be among the most historic in the history of the world.
In the name of the General Assembly at its sixty-fourth session, presided over by Libya, of the African Union, of one thousand traditional African kingdoms and in my own name, I would like to take this opportunity, as President of the African Union, to congratulate our son Obama because he is attending the General Assembly, and we welcome him as his country is hosting this meeting.
This session is taking place in the midst of so many challenges facing us, and the whole world should come together and unite its efforts to defeat the challenges that are our principal common enemy — those of climate change and international crises such as the capitalist economic decline, the food and water crises, desertification, terrorism, immigration, piracy, man-made and natural epidemics and nuclear proliferation.

Such challenges also include hypocrisy, poverty, fear, materialism and immorality.

GHANA HAS been ranked among the most unsanitary countries in the world due to stinking filth in the capital, Accra and other parts of the country, according to information provided by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Asokwa, Maxwell Kofi Jumah.
Having a little rest at the beach! AKWAABA! As you may see, there are even pigs on Accras beautyfull beaches!
Contributing to the debate on President Atta Mills’ 2012 budget statement and economic policy, the Asokwa MP quoted what he indicated were rankings by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), pointing out the two international bodies recently ranked Ghana the fourth most unsanitary country in Africa, out of 52 nations judged, and second dirtiest out of 15 West African countries.
Mr. Jumah, a former Chief Executive of Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA), said the country had been ranked so because the Mills administration had failed to fulfill its campaign promise to rid Accra and other the cities of filth.
The former KMA boss, who is also the Deputy Ranking Member for the Select Committee on Local Government and Rural Development, stated that three years after the Mills administration promised to get rid of filth in Accra, there was still stinking garbage all over the place.
According to him, the sanitation situation was so appalling that the Supreme Court had to order Accra Metropolitan Assembly to put up more public toilets.
Mr. Kofi Jumah entreated President Mills to declare a state of emergency on sanitation rather than chasing phantom enemies with vile threats. “Instead of declaring red alerts to ghost enemies and instead of daring political opponents, His Excellency Prof. Mills, should declare a national emergency on sanitation in Ghana,” he challenged president Mills.
Touching on other issues in the 2012 budget, which he described as ‘Dayie budget’ (Rest In Peace Budget), Mr. Kofi Jumah slammed President Mills for failing to honour promises he made two years ago, to support MPs to effectively perform their parliamentary duties.
“I believe my colleague MPs are still waiting for the implementation of the MPs Development Fund and the constituency offices promised us two years ago. Just like other promises, these announcements excited all of us only to disappear in thin air,” the Asokwa MP said.

Over 4. 58 million barrels of crude oil produced from the Jubilee fields are unaccounted for as Kwabena Duffuor, the Finance Minister under the ruling NDC and Tullow Oil have, on separate occasions, stated different production figures for the same period under review.
Using the average crude oil price over the material period of January-September 2011, the missing barrels add up to $493. 5 million or $458 million, going by the lower hedging price that the government bet its crude oil sales on.
Paragraph 58 of the 2012 budget presented by Dr. Duffuor on the 16th of November 2011 states: “Actual production from January to September 2011 is 17. 42 million barrels. It is expected that 2011 will close with an annual oil production of 24. 78 million barrels. ”
However, just a week earlier, on 9th November 2011, a press statement by Tullow Oil, the largest partner in the Jubilee Field project, stated that during the same period under review, “over 22 million barrels of oil have been produced and 21 oil cargoes have been safely exported. ”
The disparity in these production figures put out by the NDC government and by Tullow Oil has raised further doubts over the transparency ..... .. Read More .. | ------------------ |

| | Tuesday, 22.11.2011 / 22th November | | | Monday, 21.11.2011 / 21th November | Oil companies pose no danger to our intelligence – Military The presence of oil companies in the restricted Ghana Air Force enclave in Takoradi has no security implications whatsoever, Director of Public Affairs for the Ghana Armed Forces, Colonel Mbawine Atintande has said.
The air force, according to Col. Atintande, has adequate measures in place to ensure its intelligence information is properly secure.
He was responding to concerns that the country’s intelligence could be jeopardised with the current arrangement where the oil companies, largely foreign multinationals, are operating from the air force base in Takoradi.
Some civil society organisations and politicians have raised concerns about the situation, fearing the companies could be using their proximity to the military installation to undertake covert operation and do intelligence gathering for their home countries.
An official at the Energy Ministry is quoted by the Daily Graphic as saying that “…any sensitive information exchanged by the national security could be monitored or intercepted by anybody standing by the building, a situation which is not the best.”
But Col. Atintande told Joy FM’s Super Morning Show, the fears are unjustified.
In any case if any person or group of persons desire to intercept intelligence communication of the air force, he insisted, they do not need to be close to the air force base to do so.
“The companies themselves would not have necessarily just walked into the premises and taken the space. These have been given out by the armed forces for a particular purpose and I don’t think that there is any problem with that....

Accra, Oct. 4, GNA - Mr Chris Santoro, Consular Officer at the United States Embassy in Accra, has cautioned applicants of the 2013 Diversity Visa Lottery programme to avoid using fraudulent documents.
He said the Embassy had a way of detecting fraudulent documents and when detected the applicant would be disqualified and not offered the visa.
"We utilise special technology and other means to identify those who commit fraud for illegal immigration or those who submit multiple entries. " Addressing a press conference on Monday to officially announce the beginning of registration for the 2013 Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery in Accra , Mr Santoro emphasized that the Embassy did not endorse the use of Visa services where people put up tents and cages to charge people, who want to apply for the programme, stressing the US Diversity Visa is free. He therefore advised potential applicants to seek information from their website.
www.dvlottery.state.gov.
Mr Santoro explained that for married couple each of them could apply separately to increase their chances of winning.
The 2013 DV Lottery begins at noon on Tuesday October 4, and ends on Saturday, November 5, this year.
Mr Santoro said applicants might access the electronic DV Entry form at their website during the registration period and noted that paper entries would not be accepted.
He said successful applicants for the DV-2013 would have to check the website beginning May 1, 2012 to check their application status using their unique confirmation number provided during their registration. Mr Santoro in addition, warned applicants not to pay monies to anybody who presented him or herself as a visa contractor.
The US DV lottery programme makes available up to 55,000 diversity visas annually to applicants all over the world.

International Organization for Migration to assist government airlift stranded Ghanaians from Libya.
The Government says it is seeking assistance from the International Organisation for Migration to airlift Ghanaian nationals currently stranded in Libya.
About eighteen of them made a passionate appeal to government to come for them.
Citizens from Sub-Saharan African countries are fleeing the troubled North African country after rebels accused them of being mercenaries engaged by remnant forces of fugitive leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi.
Deputy Information Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa told Joy News the porous security situation does not make it safe to directly airlift the stranded Ghanaian citizens.
He said the situation should serve as a lesson to Ghanaians everywhere that if there is a situation and the government offers a lifeline they should take advantage of it.

TRADERS AT the Takoradi Market Circle ran helter-skelter amid shouts of “sika duro! sakawa!” when a long yellowish brown snake slithered out of a taxi parked near the Market Circle at about 4:30 pm on Wednesday, September 28, 2011.
A lot of people who confirmed the story to Daily Guide at the scene said they saw the snake moving from beneath the front seat of a taxi just after the driver had alighted from it.
The shouts of “sika duro! sakawa!!” drew the attention of the taxi driver who tried to catch the snake with his hand, but it climbed into the boot of a nearby taxi, so the unidentified taxi driver quickly jumped into his cab and drove off.
City guards, young men and some drivers around searched the boot, engine and underneath the taxi but could not find it.
The curious crowd rushed to the scene and people immediately offered Raid insecticide to spray all sides of the taxi, but the “mysterious” snake could not be traced.
The car then moved to Kokompe, a suburb of Takoradi where a special pesticide was sprayed into the car and the snake reared its head after some Moslem incantations and prayer by a Mallam who declined to mention his name.
He held the neck of the snake and some taxi drivers tooted their horns and drove to the scene where the incident initially occurred.
There were other shouts and booing when ... .. Read More .... .. updating in progress ..

But the blood of my ancestors, the blood of my father, my children and my grandchildren, the blood of all the Libyan men and women and children and the blood of all who are martyred by the bombing during this aggression, pushed us to the path of defiance and rejection of colonialism.

The demonstrators, protesting against the US-led NATO aggression in Libya, started their peaceful march toward the United States embassy in the capital Accra on Saturday, but police confronted them with a prohibition order, blocking the continuation of the demonstrations, the independent website globalresearch.ca, reported.
The protesters, chanting “US, NATO hands off Libya! Hands off Africa,” continued the rally and police arrested 24 people that were later released.
The peaceful march came in defiance of a court order demanding postponement of the demonstration until September 28.
Protest leaders say the action of police shows the extent of US influence over the government in Ghana.
Since March, the United States and NATO have unleashed a punishing United Nations-mandated offensive against the fugitive Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi in an alleged attempt to pressure him into giving up power.
Thousands of airstrikes by the alliance have killed many Libyan civilians and revolutionary fighters, who are fighting the government troops.
The development comes as the National Transitional Council (NTC) in Libya has been given a UN seat.
The African Union also recognized the NTC as the legitimate government of the North African nation last week.
The Libyan revolution began on February 17 and on August 22 Tripoli fell and Gaddafi fled from the capital. The revolutionaries are currently making efforts to capture and secure the last Gaddafi bastions in the country.
MSH/MGH/MB | | - News of Saturday, 24.09.2011 / 24th September | Libyan Information Bureau Saturday, 24.09.2011 - 16:44 Yesterday we were in the wilderness with a team of Tuaregs. And for security purposes we had no phones and no cameras. The Tuareg elders have given us a statement in which they state that they will not accept colonial crusaders in their lands. In the south of Libya, the situation is not the same as described in the media. The rebels, along with Western reporters, rode through some of the villages. The villagers waved rat flags, but this was a purposeful deception. The villagers were involved in a mission that was designed to help cut off the supply lines of the rebels, and they waved the rebel flag to draw attention away from their underground, anti-NATO and anti-rebel activity. NATO might decide to bomb, but there is now a problem for NATO: It can no longer distinguish between who is a rebel and who is Jamahiriya fighter. This is because Jamahiriya fighters are using guerrilla tactics in order to mix with the rebels. We have visited and talked to many people. And they have told us that the NATO bombing has given them the inspiration to fight hard against NATO genocidal aggression. One tactic that the villagers use is to let the rebels come through, and then the kill them from behind. We went behind the so-called enemy lines, and we assure you that there was no one to stop us. (For security reasons we will not mention the areas that we and the noble Tuareg tribesmen visited). We recognize that the media and the rebels are misleading the people of the world, and that they are doing this in attempt to break our morale. But our morale is strong. ...

Update on the war against Libya and Africa - September 23rd By Dennis South Libya: Benghazi green banner raised Friday, 23.09.2011
MSNBC TV received confirmed reports that the green flag of the Libyan Jamahiriya was raised over parts of Benghazi. The green flag was also raised again in many parts of Cyrenaica. There are continuing reports of clashes in Tripoli. This means that the resistance to the aggression of NATO has entered a new phase. NATO mercenary commanders are claiming that all of the rats who attempted to storm Sirte and Bani Walid were killed. There are no NATO-rebel "rats" on the ground attacking Bani-Walid. The campaign against Bani Walid is now a NATO air campaign. But NATO might be considering the the introduction of mercenary troops that will try to take Bani-Walid. The same is true for Sirte and Sabha, which are of great strategic importance. The fact that the green flag was raised over parts of Benghazi and throughout Cyrenaica emphasizes Gaddafi's recent statements reminding the world that the Libyan people, not NATO and not the rebels, are the rulers of Libya. And the Libyan people will never agree to being slaves....

Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah on Sept. 21, 2011, Osagyefo’s 102nd birthday! (Out of power with main support of CIA) The U.S.-NATO Hands Off Libya! Hands Off Africa! Coalition consists of revolutionary and progressive African organizations in Ghana who oppose the U.S.-NATO illegal invasion of Libya/Africa and support Muammar Qaddafi and the Libyan Jamahiriya to win the war against U.S.-NATO imperialist military forces and NTC/Al Qaeda reactionaries. The coalition is organizing a march from Kwame Nkrumah Circle to the U.S. Embassy to demonstrate against the illegal U.S.-NATO invasion and for victory to Qaddafi and the Libyan Jamahiriya on Sept. 21, 2011. We are calling on all Africans in Africa and the Diaspora to demonstrate at U.S. embassies on the same day. | 24 arrested for embarking on illegal demonstration / Sekou Mwanza Nkrumah, Leader of the demonstrators, also arrested | Accra, Sept. 21, GNA – Twenty-four out of about 100 people participating in a demonstration organised by the Coalition on US/NATO Hands-Off Libya, in Accra on Wednesday have been arrested and detained in Police custody.
The demonstration began at about 1050 hours from Obra Spot at Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra towards the United States of America Embassy at Cantonments, to register their displeasure at the bombing of Libya by Western allied forces.
However, when the demonstrators reached a junction near Ghana Broadcasting Corporation at Kanda, a team of Police personnel from the Greater Accra Regional Police Command met them and showed a Prohibition Order from an Accra Circuit Court prohibiting the demonstration and asked them to stop.
The demonstrators refused to acknowledge and obey the court’s order and started heckling the Police, while some of them continued demonstrating, a situation which made the police to call for reinforcement leading to the arrest of the 24.
Those arrested were immediately brought to the Greater Accra Regional Police Headquarters to a meeting with the Greater Accra Regional Police Commander, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP), Rose Bio Atinga, who instructed that the demonstrators should be processed for court on Thursday, September 22.
DCOP Bio Atinga told Ghana News Agency that those arrested would be charged with “unlawful assembly”, and “acts that tend to disrupt the peace of the nation”.
She said the Greater Accra Regional Police Command met leaders of the Coalition and explained to them that there were many activities in Accra on Thursday, September 21 including the Milo Marathon and asked them to reschedule the demonstration but they refused.
DCOP Bio Atinga said in view of their refusal, the Police went to court to secure an injunction to prohibit the demonstration, a copy of which was made available to the GNA.
The order, dated September 16, was secured from the Circuit Court of Justice, Accra signed by Mrs Patience Mills Tetteh, Circuit Judge, and it read: “The organisation calling itself US/NATO Hands Off Libya and Hands Off Africa Coalition are hereby prohibited from demonstrating on September 21.”
“It is further ordered that the intended demonstration could come on at a later date when police have been notified.”
DCOP Bio Atinga said based upon the order, she instructed personnel at the Cantonments Police Station to be on alert and watch-over the American Embassy to arrest any demonstrator who would be picketing around.
Mr Sekou Mwanza Nkrumah, Leader of the demonstrators, who was also arrested told GNA shortly before he was detained that the action of the Police showed how much influence the United States of America had over the Government in Ghana.
He expressed shock at the arrest questioning whether individual Ghanaians did not have rights and liberties to express their views anymore. | Prior to the demonstration the A-APRP and the Hands Off Libya coalition have stated: The Libyan masses own and control their resources! Ninety percent of all oil revenues in Libya are used to meet the needs of the masses. Every month $500 dollars of the nation’s revenues go directly into every Libyans bank account. When marrying, Libyan couples receive 60,000 dinars (about $50,000 US dollars) to begin their married life and start their family. Libyans have free education, free health care, free electricity, free water, and every citizen receives a free house. Tens of thousands of Ghanaians and Africans have gone to Libya for work and have sent remittances to their families to raise their living conditions. Libya contributed $300 million to buy a satellite for Africa improve its telecommunications system and was preparing to contribute $32 billion to establish an African Monetary Fund, to replace the dictatorial US and EU controlled International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank (WB). This $32 billion will be under the control of the African Union, which will end European imperialist economic control over African governments, to create political space for Africa to Unify under a continental government. Libya has demonstrated a commitment to African Unity.

The newest form of colonialism under the title "the protection of the civilian population" ARE THOSE WHO WANT TO EXPORTING DEMOCRACY EVEN DEMOCRATS? How many people know in these self-proclaimed democracies that; - The Libyan government is [was] based on a system of allied tribes, summarized by definition, people in small units. The democratic spirit lives much more in a trunk, in a village, as in a great country, just simply because people know each other and share a common rhythm of life that brings a kind of self-regulation or even self-censorship so far with it, as the reactions and counter reactions of group members affect the entire group. - How many people know, that Rwanda the only country in the world is, where women represent 56% of MPs? - How many people know, that the "CIA World Index 2007", names four of the best-governed countrie... in Africa? - How many people know, that the peak price goes to Equatorial Guinea, whose national debt make up only 1.14 percent of gross domestic product? - How many people know, that the people of Benghazi have a long held vendetta against Qaddafi. This is not a secret! In fact, they don’t take him that much to heart. They hate him! Mind you, Muammar al-Qaddafi was the one who ousted king Idris in a bloodless coup in 1969. The ousted king and the people of Benghazi are from the same tribe. - How many people know, that in Libya, was a circulation of wealth. Those in need of employment had employment. Those in need of education had access to free education. There was a welfare system set up for the temporary unemployed. As a result, the crime rate in Libya was close to zero. - How many people know, that In Sept 23, 2009, Muammar al-Qaddafi came to New York to address the United Nations. The speech was memorable!Muammar al-Qaddafi was of view that Africa was being discriminated against. He wasn't alone in this conviction! In that regard, Robert Mugabe went before him. He too called for Africa's inclusion in the Security Council in his 2008 speech to the UN. The American sociologist C. Wright Mills wrote in 1956 that American democracy was a "dictatorship of the elite." According to Mills, the United States of America are not a democracy, because it is money that speaks during the elections, and not the people. The claim that there is an advantage for the Libyans, if they being killed, beats everything... After 500 years, of a clearly a thoroughly unequal relationship with the West - we do not have the same criteria, of what is good and what is bad... Capital of the African Monetary Fund (AMF):

Together, 62 percent to $ 42 billion (the capital of the African Monetary Fund (AMF).
The largest and most populous country in sub-Saharan Africa, Nigeria, followed by South Africa are each with - only U.S. $ 3 billion - far behind. Today's events remind you of what happened to China in the past. Today the UN recognize the rebel government in Libya, as they made it to the end of the Second World War with China. The so-called international community to Taiwan certainas sole representative of the Chinese people instead of Mao Zedong's China. It took 26 years to the 25 October 1971, the UN adopted Resolution 2758, which should be read all the Africans, in order to put an end this folly. After the Ghanaian governement recognized the rebels, just to please our former masters, how can we expect, to be respected? Africa's strength and true freedom will only develop if it is well thought out actions and the consequences in mind. Dignity and respect, come with a price tag. Are we willing to pay the price?

| Economic motive Kwame Nkrumah stated, “Military strategy presupposes political aims; all military problems are political and all political problems are economic.” The basis and motive for the U.S.-NATO invasion of Libya is economic. European and American capitalism has decayed into crisis and the NATO countries have a massive and uncontrollable foreign debt of more than $49 trillion, according to the World Bank. America owes $14.6 trillion, the European Union owes $13.7 trillion, Britain owes $9 trillion, Germany owes $4.7 trillion, France owes $4.7 trillion and The Netherlands owes $3.7 trillion. And with their spending addiction, they all can never pay back their debts. This is the reason why they are invading Libya with international state terrorism using the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, a terrorist organization, to rob Africa – a military strategy to solve an economic problem. History of robbing Africa These NATO countries have enriched themselves in the past by organizing an armed robbery for human beings – a slave raid – with cannons, guns and chains, using local agents to capture and steal millions of Africans from their families, tribes, nations and continent. They enriched themselves further by organizing a Berlin Conference in Germany, 1884, to invade Africa with violent armed colonization, robbing Africa for gold, diamonds and other valuable resources through the forced exploitation of African labor. With organization, Africans have defeated the slave raid and colonialism. Africa will defeat neo-colonialism, which Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah correctly called, “The last stage of imperialism” in the title to his famous book, “Neo-Colonialism the Last Stage of Imperialism.” Today, the front line is in Libya – the key country leading Africa to continental government and economic independence as a liberated zone. Libya as an example The Libyan masses own and control their resources! Ninety percent of all oil revenues in Libya are used to meet the needs of the masses. Every month, $500 of the nation’s revenues go directly into every Libyan’s bank account. When marrying, Libyan couples receive 60,000 dinars – about $50,000 – to begin their married life and start their family. Libyans have free education, free health care, free electricity, free water and every citizen receives a free house. Tens of thousands of Ghanaians and other Africans have gone to Libya for work and have sent remittances to their families to raise their living conditions. Libya contributed $300 million to buy a satellite for Africa to improve its telecommunications system and was preparing to contribute $30 billion to establish an African Monetary Fund to replace the dictatorial U.S. and E.U. controlled International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank (WB). This $30 billion will be under the control of the African Union, which will end European imperialist economic control over African governments, to create political space for Africa to unify under a continental government. Libya has demonstrated a commitment to African unity, and Ghanaians and all Africans must stand with Libya in the spirit of Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah on Sept. 21, 2011, Osagyefo’s 102nd birthday, and MARCH ON THE U.S. EMBASSY. Qaddafi: A great African leader and revolutionary Muammar Qaddafi led the Libyan masses to forcibly remove the puppet of imperialism, King Idris, from power and eliminated the U.S., British and Italian military bases from Libyan/African soil. He led the masses to take control of Libya’s rich oil resources, which were being robbed by U.S., U.K. and Italian companies, like Occidental, Mobile, British Petroleum and ENI. Qaddafi wrote “The Green Book” and the “Third Universal Theory” to develop an ideology which guides the Libyan people and serves as an example for Africans and people of the world to create a just and righteous society, based on right principles and independent thinking from their culture and history. This is similar to Nkrumah writing his book, “Consciencism: philosophy and ideology for decolonization,” in which Nkrumah stated, “Practice without thought is blind; thought without practice is empty.” Read More Here: U.S. – NATO ROBBING AFRICA AT GUNPOINT | | - News of Monday, 19.09.2011 / 19th September | | | - News of Sunday, 18.09.2011 / 18th September | | | - News of Saturday, 17.09.2011 / 17th September | | | - News of Friday, 16.09.2011 / 16th September | | NDC Losing Volta Region *Source: Today Research conducted by the Today’s newspaper news team indicate that thousands of residents in what is known as the National Democratic Congress’

Several people who sustained severe injuries in the tragic incident were rushed to the Mamprobi Polyclinic, New Generation Clinic at South Odorkor Estates and Cocoa Clinic at Kaneshie on the night of 24 July 2011. A former Black Star player, Baffuor Gyan, the owner of the Infiniti Night Club, is now being pressed by the affected patrons to cough a whopping GH¢1,500 for each of the victims with serious injuries and GH¢1,000 for those with minor injuries, for his alleged negligence which led to the abrupt end of an exciting programme and injuries caused them.
The spokesperson for the victims, Theophilus Amuah, who happens to be the adopted father of the groom, explained to Myjoyonline.com that the amount is to compensate the victims for the damages they suffered, and to also enable those who are still undergoing treatment to foot their bills.
But Baffuor Gyan, he said, has refused to pay the adequate compensation to the victims on the grounds that he paid the hospital bills of some of the victims.

The suspects are currently being held in detention in the Libyan capital, Tripoli.
They are among a group of West and North Africans being picked up on the orders of the rebel-led National Transitional Council.
The NTC have taken charge of a significant part of the country following the disappearance of former dictator, Muammar Gaddafi.
The rebels have been rounding up persons it accuses of being mercenaries, working for the fugitive leader.
One of the detained Ghanaians, Hassan Abdallah who spoke to Joy FM through a smuggled mobile phone, said that presently no charges have been brought against them, since last week Monday when they were detained.
“They have collected our passports, our luggage, everything, they have not told us anything. There are even people here from the Ghanaian embassy but they refuse to let them enter. The condition we live in is very bad, the whole day we are giving just water and a little bread for food”.
The Foreign Affairs Minister, Alhaji Mohammed Mumuni has corroborated the information but however clarified that the Ghanaians were being held in detention because of immigration irregularities and offences and not as mercenaries. He assured that Ghana’s missions were working tirelessly to have the prisoners released.
“When we first heard the information we spoke to our Chargee D’affaire, Emmanuel Anoff in Libya, who confirmed to us that their preliminary investigations had shown that Ghanaians were among some groups of persons who had been detained because of some immigration violations.
“As at now, we are uncertain about the exact number of Ghanaian citizens who have held up but we are working towards having them released. ” | NPP women angry over textile seizures Source: citifmonline The women’s wing of the New Patriotic Party has taken a swipe at the government for the recent seizures of textiles on the market.
According to them, Government is only using the Chinese as an excuse to persecute hardworking Ghanaian women.
Addressing a Press conference on Wednesday September 13, the NPP women’s wing alleged that the victims of the seizure are being targeted because they refuse to pay some monies to officials who are engaged in seizure.
In an interview with Citi News, the Parliamentary candidate for Ablekuma South, Ursula Owusu admonished the government not to politicize the issue but rather tackle the issue from the top and not to deny the women engaged in the textile business their means of livelihood.
“I think this is a hydra headed issue and it needs the government to take a comprehensive look at it. We want our local textile industry to survive and we want those who trade in textiles to be able to go about their business in a legal manner without harassment from any of the security agencies.
“This is not an NPP, CPP or NDC thing, the women who trade in textiles are just people who just want to make a living regardless of their political background and if the conditions are good for them they would be able to support their families.
“If there is any issue which needs to be addressed I think the Ministry of Trade and Industry, the revenue agencies and the standards board ought to sit down and devise strategies and policies which would ensure that our local industries would survive and those who import the goods from China are able to go about business safely without any harassment”.

If democracy is the keyword used to justify the destruction of human lives and property, then God help us all! Yes, the NATO-aided NTC rebels have apparently managed to do away with Muammar Gaddafi, and Ghana, among other African countries has, after a littlehesitation, decided to do obeisance to the western powers by recognizing these anti-Gaddafi miscreants.
The question now remains: does a post-Gaddafi Libya hope to become
a land of milk and honey? Believe me, that would be a very tall order because actually, whether you like Gaddafi or not, Libya, by all appreciable standards, had the highest standard of living in Africa, under Gaddafi. If western-style democracy was a yardstick for determining developmental success, Ghana, Nigeria and other countries in Africa would not be in their present predicaments. Let's take a look at some of the comforts and benefits.Libyans enjoyed under Gaddafi and draw our own conclusions. When Gaddafi took over, Libyans had an average annual income of about $60.
His government brought Libya from poverty and debt to prosperity and
debt-free status....

It is a bribe and probably 10x its value has been added to the cost of the project. The contactor should also be disqualified from all contract awards in the country.
