October 10-11, 2011 -- A little gold for all the gold

As with so many international constructs that started out with good intentions, the Norwegian Nobel Committee, like the International Olympic Committee, have become contrivances for global corporations. It is now clear that the decision by the Nobel committee to award the Nobel Peace Prize to two Liberian women, along with a female Yemeni human rights campaigner, was to engage in a bit of influence-peddling in mineral resource-rich West Africa while also attempting to recognize the "Arab Spring" democracy movement.

While the awarding of the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize to Yemeni human rights activist    seems appropriate, considering the work she has done to oust Yemen's brutal dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh from power, the awarding of the Peace Prize gold medals to Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Liberian human rights activist Leymah Gbowe, just before the Liberian presidential election, appears to be a blatant act of trying to influence the outcome of the election and rewarding Sirleaf for her support for the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM). In addition to being Africa's first elected female head of state, Sirleaf also has the distinction of being the only African head of state to offer AFRICOM a base of operations and headquarters in Africa - Liberia.

Sirleaf's invitation to AFRICOM was unsettling to many Liberians who are cognizant of Liberia's past as a colony founded by freed slaves from the United States and run for decades by a series of American-Liberian dictators who acted as virtual proxies for Washington and the Firestone Rubber Corporation.

Sirleaf was implicated in supporting Liberia's brutal dictator, Charles Taylor, in a report issued in 2009 by the Liberian Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Sirleaf rejected the report and she also reneged on her promise to serve only one term as president. Winston Tubman, the nephew of Liberia's long-serving president William Tubman and who is running against Sirleaf, has questioned the timing of the Nobel Committee's awarding of the peace prize to his opponent, only a few days before the October 11 election. It is also noteworthy that after the announcement of this year's Nobel awards, Gbowe, the other Liberian peace prize awardee, endorsed Sirleaf's re-election.

Sirleaf, a Harvard graduate, has long been a darling of George Soros's "human rights" and "civil society" contrivances, including the Open Society Institute and Foundation. On September 9, 2008, WMR reported: "Soros is a close friend of Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, a former Vice President of Equator Bank in Washington, DC. Equator was later bought by HSBC, which, not surprisingly is a financial partner of Soros."

Soros has much more of an interest in Liberia and surrounding countries -- including Ivory Coast, which saw French troops fight troops loyal to ousted president Laurent Gbagbo to install a Rothschild/Soros-run World Bank veteran, Alassane Ouattara and his French Zionist wife, into power -- than promoting "civil society." Liberia is a nexus for gold mining and Soros's senior partner, Nathaniel Rothschild, is, according to WMR's sources, buying up all the world's gold mines in anticipation of the collapse of several world currencies, including the euro and the dollar.

Rothschild and Soros, through Rothschild-controlled Newmont Mining Corporation, along with other Rothschild-controlled companies like Vallar and Glencore, are currently moving in to buy up gold mining companies and mining operations in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea,the United States, Peru, Ghana, Guinea, Canada, Namibia, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Ivory Coast, Mexico, Sierra Leone, and Liberia.

Sirleaf's interest in hosting an AFRICOM base in Liberia appears to have had more to do with protecting the Soros and Rothschild mining operations in West Africa than in championing stability and human rights. For that, Sirleaf and her friend Gbowe received two Nobel gold medals to help the Rothschild/Soros team control all the gold metal.
