A deep dive into the "Economic Hitman" theory regarding the Ebola outbreak in Africa. The hosts suggest the virus is being used as a tool for regime change and to secure massive liquefied natural gas and oil interests in countries like Nigeria, Mozambique, and Tanzania, noting the suspicious timing of US and EU "resilience" funding.
East Africa Oil Exploration, Anadarko Petroleum
The discovery of massive natural gas reservoirs off the coast of Mozambique and Somalia is identified as the true driver of U.S. interest in East Africa. Anadarko Petroleum Corporation is highlighted as a key player, with former military commander Kevin Chilton on its board. The hosts link the presence of a drone base in Djibouti to the protection and exploration of these hydrocarbon assets.
Anadarko Board of Directors, Corporate Influence
The hosts examine the board of directors of Anadarko Petroleum, noting connections to the Federal Reserve, the Trilateral Commission, and the Business Roundtable. They argue that these elite corporate interests dictate foreign policy to ensure access to energy resources. The segment emphasizes how earnings conference calls can reveal the true priorities of these global organizations.
An analyst's question during an Anadarko earnings call reveals the industry's struggle with "sub-$3" natural gas prices. The hosts explain that because gas is currently too cheap to be profitable for many fracking operations, companies are shifting focus to "liquids-rich" opportunities. They suggest that geopolitical instability is often used to "jack up" energy prices to benefit these corporations.
