Secret societies: Africa’s way forward
Powerful secret societies in the West and elsewhere rule their countries and the world behind the scenes. They meet annually or thereabouts in secret locations. They discuss and take decisions on major policies affecting their countries and the world. Their memberships cut across politics, business, media, military, diplomacy, academia, etc. And they get things done as planned. Being part of the same world, doesn’t Africa also need its own secret societies (multiples of them, minus their sinister side) to defend its interests globally and speed up its development? In this wide-ranging piece, our editor, Baffour Ankomah, argues that it is about time Africa joined in the fest.
Princess Diana’s famous butler, Paul Burrell, the “hub” around which her post-divorce life revolved, who worked for the British Royal Household for 21 long years, is the man who revealed in 2002 that the Queen called him one day after Diana’s death and told him: “Be careful, Paul; nobody has ever been as close to a member of my family as you were to Diana. There are powers at work in this country about which we have no knowledge.”
That was heavy stuff. If the Queen has no knowledge of “the powers” at work in a country of which she is head of state, imagine the effort these “powers” [read secret societies or puppet masters] have made to hide their existence and (sometimes dangerous) activities from public view.
The Queen’s warning was the closest yet that any such Establishment figure had come to admitting that life was not just as we see it. That Western countries and others elsewhere are run by unseen powers (or in British parlance “unseen governments”) who pull the strings from behind the scenes. If anybody had talked about such “powers at work” in the terms used by the Queen, they would have said it was a “conspiracy theory” or he/she was a “conspiracy theorist”. (For writing this piece, I will be accused of being one). It is the classic way of dismissing such startling revelations and diverting attention away from the “conspiracy facts” that have ruled our world since Europe became the centre of the world.
