US Recipe For Nigerian Oil: Abduct 300 Nigerian Girls, Release Terrorist Video, Deploy Troops, Enjoy Black Gold Bonanza

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

A mass abduction of nearly 300 Nigerian schoolgirls on April 14 turned even more outrageous Tuesday when eight more girls were kidnapped, according to UNICEF as, #BringBackOurGirls took Twitter by a storm and President Barack Obama’s military “aid” offer to the oil-cursed nation was accepted – to locate and rescue the girls, of course.

 

It took two weeks for the story of nearly 300 kidnapped schoolgirls to go viral on Twitter, attention that oil-thirsty Obama, the US State Department and the Pentagon have long awaited. The U.S. is a major consumer of Nigerian oil. It’s been watching closely and lusting after more of that black gold for years.

 

The #BringBackOurGirls campaign got a big boost when a video was released by Wall Street – the WSJDigitalNetwork, that is. The video (below) purports to show Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau, threatening to sell the girls on the black market for sex, supposedly due to their western education being sinful. The video is ideal for ratcheting more Islamophobia among Americans and support the Pentagon’s aim to invade and control Nigeria Who wouldn’t support that, now that school girls are being held as hostages there?

 

International call for help

 

“The rest of the world’s media was slow to catch up,” Time reports. “Now that Boko Haram has taken responsibility for abducting the girls from their school with plans to sell them, the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls is spreading like wildfire and the Nigerian government is finally asking for international help to find them.” Time presents a map with geotagged Tweets about the #Bringbackourgirls campaign, well worth viewing here to see how the plea for help has taken the world by a storm, adding fuel to the fire against Muslims. 

 

The militant Islamist group Boko Haram claimed responsibility for the kidnappings is what headlines are stating around the globe. The leader of Boko Haram, meaning ”Western Education is a Sin,” threatens in the video message to sell the schoolgirls and force them to marry.

 

“That the girls are alleged to have been abducted to prevent them from attending school is especially abhorrent,” UNICEF said in a written statement. “UNICEF calls on the abductors to immediately return these girls unharmed to their communities, and we implore all those with influence on the perpetrators to do everything they can to secure the safe return of the girls — and to bring their abductors to justice.

 

“Our hearts go out to the families of these girls.  UNICEF continues to monitor the situation and expresses its solidarity with the people of Nigeria.”

 

Gunmen stormed boarding school dorms at the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Nigeria, kidnapped 273 girls, and drove them into a nearby forest. Approximately 40 of the girls managed to escape (by jumping from the trucks driving them). About 238 are still missing.

 

There are reports that the girls will be forced to marry their captors before being trafficked across countries and terrifyingly vanishing without a trace.

 

According to Time, Boko Haram has been attacking schools, universities and other targets over the past several years, reportedly as “part of an ongoing rebellion against Nigeria’s government and Western influence.”

 

Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for attacks that have killed thousands since 2009, reports AFP. The police and military came down hard on the group in 2009, arresting its original leader Mohammed Yusuf, later killed supposedly during an escape attempt, but it re-formed and emerged more powerful and deadly than ever.

 

Nigerian officials blamed Boko Haram for a bombing that killed 75 people in Nigeria’s capital of Abuja hours before the mass abduction. The governor has offered 50 million naira, (approximately $300,000) to anyone who provides information leading to the rescue of the remaining hostages.

 

Boko Haram’s home base is in the country’s northeast. There, 70 percent of people live on less than a dollar and illiteracy, malnutrition, and infrastructure problems are far worse than in the north. 

 

Over 90 percent of Nigeria’s budget is from oil and gas. Until recently, it was Africa’s leading exporter of oil. Nigeria only refines, however, less than one-fifth of its own output—so little,  it has to reimport its own oil, refined elsewhere, at a higher cost. This is a situation some Nigerian exploit. “In their eyes, not only are they stealing oil as a tax on the companies that pollute their communities, but they are also providing a much-needed and more affordable source of domestic fuel,” Businessweek explains. “And even though politicians floated the idea of building refineries in the delta, it hasn’t happened, and there are few jobs. A 2011 report by the Foundation for Partnership Initiatives in the Niger Delta finds the youth unemployment rate in the region is 40 percent.”

 

To steal the oil, men hack at a pipeline and siphon the oil through holes they cut. Often they weld their own spigots to the pipe so the oil flows directly to their barrels. In the process, there are explosions, more drama. And meanwhile, the highly coveted black poison is causing more cancer, birth defects, miscarriages and other health-related pain and suffering.

 

The State reports, “The widespread perception of political corruption and the justifiable sense that the north isn’t benefiting from the more than $80 billion the country brings in annually through oil exports—the oil is produced in the southeast—have helped groups like Boko Haram draw in new members.”

 

The region has been in an official state of emergency since May 2013 due to growing instability and humanitarian crisis. On top of it all, farmers have missed crop cycles due to the unrest, worsening conditions in the area. Over 10,000 Nigerian refugees have taken asylum in neighboring Cameroon and Niger, making this kidnapping part of a broader problem in the region, according to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.

 

Such a chaotic politico-socio-economic field is ripe for US infiltration, support and use of extremists for an eventual invasion and occupation of the U.S. Generally speaking, where there’s oil, there are American troops. Just look at Yemen, Afghanistan, Iraq…  The CIA deposed Iran’s elected leader and supported the regime change to an oil puppet. The US has tried to do the same in Venezuela. Lest we forget Libya, Hillary Clinton’s claim to fame. 

 

Now? Nigeria’s turn. 

 

Obama says the Nigerian government agreed to help from “U.S. military and law enforcement officials experienced in these types of situations.” He says he can only imagine what the girls’ parents are going through.

 

Obama claims the immediate priority is finding the girls and that the international community will then have to manage the threat posed by groups like Boko Haram.  Meanwhile, with US boots on the ground in Nigeria, it also could help out with the oil crisis there, no doubt. It isn’t only schoolgirls being stolen. Oil theft and sabotage have caused historic disasters that in turn, have undermined prices. The US has urged the Nigerian government to take measures to curb large-scale crude oil theft in the Niger Delta. Now, the US has even more reason to be in a hurry for a heavier presence there there. 

 

“Time is of the essence,” said White House spokesman Jay Carney.

 

Even if the US did not engineer the thefts of oil and girls, it excels in using humanitarian disasters to send in its troops. Secretary of State John Kerry and the Senate fully supporting an intervention and troop invasion. Kerry has called on the Nigerian president to step up the search efforts. Tuesday, the U.S. Senate just unanimously passed a bipartisan resolution condemning the kidnapping of Nigerian school girls in what is beginning to look like a geopolitical campaign against the oil-cursed nation, Nigeria. 

 

But wait. There’s more. Let’s not exclude Hillary Clinton. Clinton’s worked her way into center stage of the #BringBackOurGirls Twitter campaign. She was glorified to the hilt for it in an article Tuesday about her compassion toward the Nigerian moms. Those moms and every other bleeding heart need to ask Libyan moms about how they feel about Hillary after her work there, not just the Benghazi scandal, that has set the right to go wild.  

 

Hillary’s real pièce de résistance was supporting the illegal invasion of Libya in the first place, and then, the illegal bombing of it and ultimately, the illegal brutal assassination of Muammar al-Gaddafi so that Libyans will never have the standard of living he’d provided to them. (Remember Hillary’s witch-like cackle when describing the barbaric murder of Muammar al-Gaddafi?)

 

Sunday, Clinton tweeted, “Access to education is a basic right & an unconscionable reason to target innocent girls. We must stand up to terrorism. #BringBackOurGirls.”

 

“When Hillary Clinton finally tweeted back #BringBackOurGirls, I jumped up and I cheered,” said Los Angeles resident Ramaa Mosley, the LA. Times reports in one of its Hillary moments.

 

Nigerians have it bad now. With US-style humanitarian “aid,” however, it’s in for worse., at the expense of 300 schoolgirls and their frantic, grieving parents, collateral damage.

 

Protests campaigning for increased rescue efforts of the girls can be followed at the #bringbackourgirls hashtag on Twitter.  In the name of common decency and human rights, however, instead of being duped by another PSYOP for oil, it would behoove all Nigerians to participate there on this Twitter campaign wisely.

      If the US does as well at rescuing these hostages as it did the 239 MH370 missing persons…. naw – it won’t. In fact, this will help distract from its obvious failure and possible complicity in the MH370 hijack crime. A new mass missing persons crisis centered in Nigeria is definitely good timing and geography for TBTB.

      supposedly due to their western education being sinful.

      He reads of his transcript, in English… :roll:

        Haha it made me laugh watching this guy read the script and keep looking to people off scene. It’s propaganda at its finest. How can anyone be scared of this person lol. I’ll take 4 of my combat buddies and take out his so called squad in no time. I can’t believe people are still falling for stuff like this without knowing the real reason behind it “resources”

      I get suspicious whenever CNN suddenly expresses interest in some tragedy in the third world. They ignore the enviro devastation in Nigeria caused by US based oil companies, they ignore the west’s leading banks enabling the looting of the oil profits from Nigeria to offshore banks.

      See info from Swiss bank whister-blower, Rudolph Elmer –
      http://www.rudolfelmer.com/2014/01/27/show-trial-of-swiss-whistleblower-elmer-now-in-9th-year/

      Lots of more info on the stolen money trail on his blog – http://www.rudolfelmer.com/

      He explains how banks and multinationals put a clown in charge of a country they want to loot, how they lavish the clown with personal wealth and funnel the money from that county’s treasury to their banks in the Cayman Is. and other places.

      It looks like the media is trying to build support from the public for US military to go to Nigeria. … home of huge oil reserves is just a coincidence. And US intel role in creating “terror” groups is also a coincidence. And US intel role in targeting women over and over is just a coincidence.

      Typical story of how the US destabilizes an oil producing country is with Iran –
