[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] Anyway. For sane folks that like the truth. Here is more of it. Now here are WHITE folks speaking the truth: [QUOTE] To add fuel to this fire, the BBC recently aired a documentary on Glasenberg, Glencore and the tax quandary Ruschlikon is dealing with. The film opens with a black screen on which the question is written: "How much profit is fair?" This is followed with footage of the idyllic village with its pristine streets, houses and waterways. "Ruschlikon, a tiny village on the outskirts of Zurich and one of the richest communities in Switzerland." [b]"Real estate prices are booming, unemployment is virtually non-existent, and social problems are few and rare," the voice continues. The documentary tells the story of how one of Ruschlikon’s five thousand or so inhabitants gave it a massive tax windfall. "However, Glencore's copper mines in Zambia don't generate similar tax windfalls for Zambians," the makers of the film state. "The country has the third largest copper reserves in the world, but 60% of the population live on less than $1 a day and 80% are unemployed."[/b] Filmmaker Christoffer Guldbrandsen investigates what is described as "the dark heart of the tax system employed by multi-nationals" and asks very uncomfortable questions about contemporary poverty, those who get extraordinarily rich and those who remain desperately poor. He contrasts the wealthy municipality of Ruschlikon with Zambia, where – as noted – nearly two-thirds of the population lives on less than a dollar a day. Guldbrandsen shows how Glencore, which controls over half of the world’s copper production, mines copper in Zambia, pays minimal wages in a country where unemployment is rife and then asks why Zambia gets such minor benefit while Glencore, Glasenberg and Rüschlikon grow richer every day. The fact that Glencore taxes have made Rüschlikon so rich becomes darkly ironic when it is learned that the multinational was accused of evading taxes in Zambia. The charities received a leaked report which alleges Glencore increased costs in a mining operation in the copper-rich country between 2006 and 2008, as a means of tax avoidance. Glasenberg's company denied the charges, but this didn't stop the European Investment Bank freezing loans to the company because it had "serious concerns" about Glencore's corporate governance. Back in Zambia, this case, which involved Glencore's Mopani copper mines in that country, has become a rallying point for activists who believe the billions should be going to Zambian development. In April last year, the BBC's Panorama reported that Glencor stood accused of "paying the associates of paramilitary killers in Colombia" and "profiting from child labour in a mine in the Congo". Glasenberg denied the allegations.[/QUOTE] http://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2013-02-06-ivan-glasenberg-obscure-billionaire-no-more http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=WNYemuiAOfU But to hear some clowns tell it, Africans are just doing great and the white folks are poor and starving. And the vast parks and reserves full of beautiful nature and wildlife in Africa with NO AFRICANS is cool and awesome and great. And the FUNNIEST PART in all of this is that the black South Africans allow themselves to be called racists by these clowns who have spent the last 500 years creating RACIAL APARTHEID and EUGENICS based societies all over the planet for their own profit and have NOT ONCE been punished. They shouldn't even have the courage to say such things, because not only is it offensive but it is so blatantly DUMB as to not even begin to make any sense. It is like calling a Jewish person a Nazi. Now nobody in their right mind would do such a thing because they FEAR what would happen to them, but shoot they aren't worried about the black folks doing anything and they say these things ALL DAY. http://www.citypress.co.za/columnists/city-press-debate-are-we-strangers-in-a-strange-land-kay-sexwale/ Oh and back to the point on Zambia. WHO is exploiting the minerals? The WHITE folks. And listen to this black clown in the video say "we don't have time to stop (investors from stealing from Africans)". Doesn't that sound stupid? A black clown behind politician who says it is this NOT HIS JOB. So WHOSE JOB IS IT? Are you SERIOUSLY thinking that white folks who have spent the last 500 years getting rich stealing from black folks to feel bad and suddenly stop? And this is precisely the same DUMB AZZ attitude of ALL black politicians in ALL of Africa. Just wait for the white folks to turn around and stop stealing from you and give you some of your money back. And as we all see, it isn't happening. And the black Africans don't even have electricity because there is no national grid. And what is a prime component of electrical wiring networks? You got it. COPPER. [QUOTE] Despite competition from other materials, copper remains the preferred electrical conductor in nearly all categories of electrical wiring with the major exception being overhead electric power transmission where aluminium is often preferred.[67][68] Copper wire is used in power generation, power transmission, power distribution, telecommunications, electronics circuitry, and countless types of electrical equipment.[69] Electrical wiring is the most important market for the copper industry.[70] This includes building wire, communications cable, power distribution cable, appliance wire, automotive wire and cable, and magnet wire. Roughly half of all copper mined is used to manufacture electrical wire and cable conductors.[71] Many electrical devices rely on copper wiring because of its multitude of inherent beneficial properties, such as its high electrical conductivity, tensile strength, ductility, creep (deformation) resistance, corrosion resistance, low thermal expansion, high thermal conductivity, solderability, and ease of installation.
