There was a CIA sponsored coup d'etat in Ghana that put the National Liberation Council government in power, they made sure resources in the country could be extracted by private entities at the lowest possible cost.

US foreign policy is based on exploiting resources around the world for private profit at the expense of the local population, hence the fascist coups they've implemented particularly in South America the last half century to ensure these sort of resources aren't nationalized or kept out of the hands of private corporations.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
