The global mafia’s NGO-backed industrial imperialism

by Paul Cudenec

Rockefeller Foundation trustee Ndidi Okonkwo Nwuneli is president/CEO of the ONE Campaign. [182]

This organisation promotes development and “economic opportunities” in Africa and the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

It was co-founded in 2004 by Irish pop star Bono, American politician Bobby Shriver and influencer Jamie Drummond – a long-term promoter of the UNSDGs – with the backing of a coalition of NGOs. [183][184]

ONE’s principal funding comes from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, but other donors include Bloomberg LP, Bloomberg Philanthropies, Cargill, Ford Foundation, Open Society Foundations, Coca-Cola and, of course, The Rockefeller Foundation. [185]

During the Covid years, it was involved, alongside UNICEF, the WHO and TikTok, in “helping combat the spread of misinformation about CoVID-19 vaccines – using the #MythOrVax hashtag and fun filter”. [186]

ONE has also been heavily involved in pushing for the use of US taxpayers’ money to “electrify Africa”, declaring: “Helping sub-Saharan Africa increase modern electricity access will save lives, boost education, alleviate extreme poverty and accelerate growth”. [187]

“Save lives”. Sounds familiar!

In 2013, US president Barack Obama announced the “Power Africa” plan – a new $7 billion commitment to the energy sector in Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria, and Tanzania, with a further $9 billion in commitments from the private sector, including General Electric, Heirs Holdings, Symbion Power, Aldwych International, Harith General Partners, and Husk Power Systems. [188]

So, in short, Nwuneli’s ONE is a propaganda and lobbying device for the global mafia’s industrial-imperialist agenda.

It is hardly a surprise to note that she is a product of the Harvard Business School and began her career at McKinsey & Company’s Chicago office.

Nor indeed that she is on the board of the Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Forum. [189]

Nwuneli returned to her native Africa in 2000 to work as the pioneer executive director of the FATE Foundation, “Nigeria’s foremost business incubator and accelerator program” which aims “to harness the high potential entrepreneurship culture of Nigerians to spur job creation, economic development and social impact”. [190]

It was created in March 2000 by Fola Adeola, a founder of GTBank, which is now Guaranty Trust Holding Company Plc. [191]

It may be just a coincidence that the Rothschilds had an entity called Morgan Guaranty Trust of New York which was involved in their WW1 profiteering and in funding the Bolsheviks in Russia. [192][193]

The founder is African and the faces of the organisation’s directors are all black, after all, so it would seem ridiculous to many people to suggest they could be part of that empire.

But when you take a look at the past and present partners and donors of the FATE Foundation, a number of telling names crop up – JPMorganChase Foundation, Citi Foundation, Deloitte, KPMG, The Coca Cola Foundation, Cherie Blair Foundation for Women, Google, The World Bank… [194]

Another listed partner, less well known, is Stanbic IBTC, which is “a member of Standard Bank who operates in more than 20 countries in Africa and abroad. Its worldwide presence consists of an integrated suite of end-to-end wealth management services and banking solutions”. [195]

A book on the history of Standard Bank reveals that it was originally registered as the “Standard Bank of British South Africa, Limited” as part of the rush to exploit diamond fields. [196]

One of the prominent men working for it was “Sir” Lewis Michell, a former minister of Cape Colony, who was “a Director of the British South Africa Company, and one of the Rhodes Trustees”. [197]

Elsewhere we read: “In 1889, Cecil Rhodes chartered the British South Africa Company in London to seize control of what is now Zimbabwe and Zambia; he renamed the colonised land Rhodesia”. [198]

Carroll Quigley explains that Rhodes “feverishly exploited the diamond and goldfields of South Africa” and rose to be prime minister of Cape Colony. [199]

One journalist described him as “the first of the new dynasty of money-kings which has been evolved in these later days as the real rulers of the modern world”. [200]

Write authors Gerry Docherty and Jim Macgregor: “Backed by Rothschild funding, Cecil Rhodes bought out many small mining concerns, rapidly gained monopoly control and became intrinsically linked to the powerful House of Rothschild.

“Although Rhodes was credited with transforming the De Beers Consolidated Mines into the world’s biggest diamond supplier, his success was largely due to the financial backing of Lord Natty Rothschild, who held more shares in the company than Rhodes himself.

“Rothschild backed Rhodes not only in his mining ventures but on the issues of British race supremacy and expansion of the Empire.

“Neither had any qualms about the use of force against African tribes in their relentless drive to increase British dominance in Africa”. [201]

The fact that the Rockefeller Foundation’s Nwuneli is today on the board of Stanbic IBTC Group only confirms that she serves as a conveniently African face for the same old ruthless imperial invaders. [202]

Now, of course, the exploitation takes a different form. Nwuneli is also on the board of the Bridgespan Group, which declares: “We help impact investors generate positive, measurable social and environmental impact alongside a financial return. We help philanthropists unlock significantly more capital for high-impact social change centered in equity”. [203]

For those who are not aware, “impact” investment, to be built on the “electrification of Africa” and the imperial infrastructure of the UNSDGS, is, as explained in a special section of the Winter Oak site, a new form of digital slavery. [204]

One thought on “The global mafia’s NGO-backed industrial imperialism

  1. Graeber and Forstater and many others can date the practice of dictating what shall be money back to Roman times or before.

    Here is the history: https://modernmoneynetwork.org/sites/default/files/biblio/RiPE%20Forstater.pdf

    The world wide export of imperial colonial control over what shall be money and then demanding that taxes be paid in that money is the present operating system of the non-working class and is one of the critical means by which sovereignty and liberty are destroyed, along with community cooperation, and labor stolen.

    From the abstract:

    “In the European colonies, land expropriation and forced labor were used, but another important means of forcing indigenous populations to work as wage-laborers or produce cash crops was taxation and the requirement that taxes be paid in colonial currency. This paper provides an overview of this method, and documents its historical importance, concentrating on Africa. Taxation also played an important role in the monetization and commoditization of African economies, and in the rise of a peripheral capitalism. As the paper demonstrates, Marx was not unaware of money taxes functioning in this manner, and the phenomenon was in no way limited to Africa.” – Matthew Forstater

    From the above paper by Forstater: “…. The problem was that if the subsistence base was capable of supporting the population entirely, colonial subjects would not be compelled to offer their labor-power for sale. Colonial governments thus required alternative means for compelling the population to work for wages. The historical record is clear that one very important method for accomplishing this was to impose a tax and require that the tax obligation be settled in colonial currency.

    This method had the benefit of not only forcing people to work for wages, but also of creating a value for the colonial currency and monetizing the colony. In addition, this method could be used to force the population to produce cash crops for sale. What the population had to do to obtain the currency was entirely at the discretion of the colonial government, since it was the sole source of the colonial currency. This method was widespread and important enough to be called “a secret of colonial capitalist primitive accumulation” (since it was not the only method, it must be called “a” secret). This practice is extremely well documented, yet it has hardly ever been mentioned as an important method of primitive accumulation.”

    “……Several points concerning the role of direct taxation in colonial capitalist primitive accumulation need to be made. First, direct taxation means that the tax cannot be, e.g. an income tax. An income tax cannot assure that a population that possesses the means of production to produce their own subsistence will enter wage labor or grow cash crops. If they simply continue to engage in subsistence production, they can avoid the cash economy and thus escape the income tax and any need for colonial currency. The tax must therefore be a direct tax, such as the poll tax, hut tax, head tax, wife tax, and land tax. Second, although taxation was often imposed in the name of securing revenue for the colonial coffers, and the tax was justified in the name of Africans bearing some of the financial burden of running the colonial state, in fact the colonial government did not need the colonial currency held by Africans.”

    “….The requirement that taxes be paid in colonial currency rather than in-kind was essential to producing the desired outcome,….”

    But here we are today listening to colonized “experts” trying to tell us that the systems of colonial capture and control can somehow be turned into systems of liberation. They cannot.
