Notes
((Part 2 -- part 1 was about Iran)
HCR writes that "on July 26, when soldiers took charge in Niger, a country central to the fight against Islamic terrorists and the security of democracy on the African continent, the U.S. had no ambassador there."
HCR clearly implies that this is a bad thing, and her reference to "democracy" can be seen as "ugly American" imperialist hypocrisy, reminiscent of big-hearted Jefferson Davis, who famously said that slavery is good for Black people. The benevolent Davis put his money where his mouth was, organizing his hundreds and hundreds of slaves into self-governing villages. What a great guy, giving "democracy" to his slaves.
HCR never mentions that Niger is the crown jewel of the crumbling French neo-colonial empire in Africa, managed by the International Monetary Fund, which has usually been directed by a Frenchman (or woman).
Niger is the source of the cheap uranium that France exploits to fuel its famous collection of nuclear power plants, generating a lot of cheap electricity. Meanwhile Niger continues to live in undeveloped poverty, because for decades it has lived with the IMF boot on its neck, strangling under the weight of unpayable debt in what is commonly known as DEBT SLAVERY.
