Félix Houphouët-Boigny: The Man Who Betrayed Africa
On March 6, 1957, Ghana’s first President and Pan-Africanist icon, Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah, stood at the helm of a newly-independent Ghana, and shared his vision of a truly sovereign, truly united and truly powerful Africa.
That vision was cut short on February 24, 1966, when Nkrumah was overthrown in a CIA-backed coup.
9 years before this coup, and a month after his nation’s independence, Nkrumah went to Abidjan, the capital of Côte d’Ivoire, for a high-level meeting with the country’s first President and full-throated stooge of the West, Félix Houphouët-Boigny.
Africa would perhaps look very different today, if Nkrumah had really understood the intentions of the person he was meeting.
This is the story of how one man betrayed an entire continent.
Former CIA officer John Kiriakou dropped the scariest sleeper agent story you’ll ever hear.
The Russians (and others) take kids basically from birth, rip them from their families, and raise them in fake American towns deep in Russia. American food, American TV, perfect American accent — the whole thing.
Then they steal the identity of a dead American baby, get them a legit passport and Social Security number, and drop them into the U.S.
They live normal lives for decades — travel agent, dad, neighbor, until one day they get “activated.”A coded radio message. Or a stranger whispering in their ear on the subway:
“Report back… or I have to kill you.”
One guy turned himself in to the FBI the second his daughter was born. He couldn’t do it anymore.
This stuff is happening. How many “Americans” around you right now are actually waiting for that call?
