  We hope the IMF will provide the Ghanaian public with the profiles (age, qualifications and experience) of each member of their team to Ghana next month. I bet the team will not be different, in terms of qualifications and experience, from the team on the Ghanaian side who will be discussing with them. So why can't the Ghanaians fix their economy? What new perspectives are the IMF bringing to the economy that have eluded the Ghanaians? Or is it lack of confidence in ourselves?

  AFRICAN LEADERS DO NOT TAKE ACTIONS THAT ARE IN THE INTEREST OF THEIR COUNTRIES BUT NOT IN THE INTERESTS OF WORLD POWERS BECAUSE OF FEAR OF BEING TOPPLED BY SOME OF THESE POWERS. WE ALL REMEMBER HOW AFRICAN LEADER, KWAME NKRUMAH WAS REMOVED FROM POWER BY THE WEST BECAUSE HE WAS NOT ACTING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DICTATES OF THE WEST.
  
  THE WEST WILL DENY GHANA ALL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE/PLEDGES EVEN THOUGH GHANA'S HOME-GROWN RECOVERY POLICIES ARE SOUND BECAUSE THOSE POLICIES ARE NOT DICTATED TO THEM BY THEIR INSTITUTION, CALLED IMF.

  Ghanaians should stay right besides the radio and TVs to listen to news to monitor the announcement of the arrival of IMF team in the country to discuss bailout proceedures.Ghanaians can do themselves a very favor by going out to the street to demonstrate against IMF bailout.Ghanaians should also ask IMF to demand accountability of the money NDC has borrow and show it stewardship.We all know NDC has not accomplish a single project and has wasted $25 billion in less than 6 years.Sick people are being treated in uncompleted buildings solarium as if those sick tax payers are salted splat(koobi).School kids attended classes in dilapidated stuctures and has to sit on pack of blocks as chairs and tables to study and president Mahama$25 billion debts and borrowing continues await them to be paid and have no comfort at their buttock.Ghanaians should not let stupidity dictated to them that IMF bailout will turn things around and is a hoax but rather hardships with mercy.

  Corporate Vultures Descend on Ghana
  
  Fear is the key. To get African leaders to do America's bidding the State Department's Dirty Tricks organisations, namely the NSA and CIA go ruthlessly to work. In most countries the USA already has infrastructure and networks in place that can be used if necessary to subvert and and stir up trouble for host countries. These are mostly innocent looking NGOs, think tanks whose budgets can be traced directly or indirectly back to the USA . Academic, Health and even some religious organisations have been infiltrated by these foreign intelligence organisations. Furthermore many of our influential media personalities,heads of professional bodies, journalist, corporate heads ,heads of important academic institutions,student leaders are sometimes recruited and paid by these sinister foreign organisations.Political opposition leaders can come in useful and are often encouraged and funded by foreign intelligence organisations to stir up trouble. The identity of the foreign organisation controlling local organisations in the host country is often concealed from the indigenous people. All of these institutions are targeted and used by foreign intelligence organisations with access to generous budgets. THE USA MAY HAVE BEEN ANGERED BY THE TENDENCY OF THE CURRENT MAHAMA ADMINISTRATION TO CONTINUE TO TRADE AND DO BUSINESS WITH COUNTRIES LIKE CHINA NATURALLY AT THE EXPENSE OF A COUNTRY LIKE THE USA. THE TRUTH IS THAT COUNTRIES LIKE CHINA CONTINUE TO PRODUCE WHAT AFRICAN COUNTRIES AND OTHERS WANT.IN RETURN GHANA SUPPLIES THINGS CHINA NEEDS SUCH AS RAW MATERIALS. IN CONTRAST THE USA DOES NOT PRODUCE MUCH THAT A COUNTRY LIKE GHANA NEEDS OR WANTS. AMERICA THEREFORE SIMPLY RESORTS TO THREATS, COERCION MANIPULATION, FEAR AND ATTEMPTS TO BRING COUNTRIES UNDER ITS INFLUENCE BY OFFERING "LOANS" "DEVELOPMENT" AID INVARIABLY WITH STRINGS ATTACHED. THIS IS CALLED CARROT AND STICK POLITICS. BASICALLY IT ENTAILS ORCHESTRATING POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC EVENTS USING THE VARIOUS TOOLS DESCRIBED ABOVE TO FRIGHTEN A GOVERNMENT INTO SUBMISSION THEN AT THE SAME TIME OFFER "HELP" USUALLY IN THE FORM OF "LOANS" AND "BAIL OUTS" WITH THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS STRINGS ATTACHED. A VERY IMPORTANT FACTOR WHICH HAS ENDERED THE CHINESE TO MANY DEVELOPING COUNTRIES IN AFRICA, ASIA AND ELSEWHERE IS THEIR EXCELLENT HABIT OF HELPING HOST NATIONS TO BUILD UP THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE SUCH AS ROADS ETC. DECADES AND DECADES OF CONTACT WITH WESTERN POWERS INCLUDING THE USA HAS NOT YIELDED SIMILAR RESULTS. IN SHORT WHILE OUR AMERICAN FRIENDS MAY SAY AND DO WHATEVER THEY LIKE THE TRUTH REMAINS THAT WESTERN COUNTRIES HAVE NOT BEEN OF AS MUCH USE TO AFRICA OR GHANA AS CHINA HAS BEEN. That is not to say that the Chinese are perfect economic partners as anyone who has been following current affairs in Ghana will readily acknowledge but in comparison to our American friends the Chinese without a doubt look like saints. In an attempt to regain "lost ground" the State department in Washington is doing everything it can to lean heavily on African governments and where necessary even forcibly remove them (for example Muammar Gaddafi of Libya, who had massive trade with China).
  
  FELLOW GHANAIANS JUDGE FOR YOURSELVES WHETHER ANY GOOD WILL COME OUT OF THIS SO-CALLED IMF LOAN. ALREADY I SEE CORPORATE AMERICAN VULTURES CIRCLING OVERHEAD AS GHANA IS BEING SLICED, DICED AND DISMEMBERED. EXPECT A FEEDING FRENZY AS THESE CORPORATE AND MULTINATIONAL PREDATORS DESCEND ON US. TO GIVE A CIVILISED APPEARANCE TO ALL OF THIS AFRICAN LEADERS HAD A "SUMMIT" WITH OBAMA IN WASHINGTON RECENTLY. RIFE CORRUPTION IN ANY GOVERNMENT ALWAYS RENDERS THAT GOVERNMENT VULNERABLE TO SINISTER AND DETRIMENTAL MANIPULATION BY POWERFUL MALEVOLENT FOREIGN INTERESTS. PRAY. GHANAIANS PRAY AS NEVER BEFORE. PRAY THAT GHANA WILL BE ABLE TO ENDURE OR CAST OFF THE HEAVY YOKES ABOUT TO BE PLACED ON OUR NECKS. INFORMATION REVEALED HERE IS ALL PUBLICLY AVAILABLE AND SURPRISE SURPRISE FROM THE U.S.A. NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH (NBTT)CAN DELIVER US. ONLY THE GOOD LORD CAN RESCUE US OUT OF THE HANDS OF THE WICKED.
