What's the connection?
I no longer pay close attention to the grotesque spectacle in Sorosian lands. When I want media input, I listen to radio shows from comparatively sane decades and watch the actions of NON-Sorosian leaders like Putin and Salvini.

Of course Salvini knows how to be watchable, so I maintain a clickbait filter and focus on his quieter and more serious activities. Salvini is a reliable MEASURING TOOL for the Soros Scale. When he firmly disapproves of a country or leader or activity, I can be fairly sure it's Sorosian. When he approves, I can be fairly sure the subject is low on Satan Units.

Here's an example: He had a meeting with the president and foreign minister of Ghana, boosting commercial and cultural ties between Italy and Ghana.

Ghana has been off the media radar for a while, and it's not part of Italy's former colonies in Africa. What's the connection?

Ghana's president Akufo-Addo looks like a sober and intelligent man. He's an aristocrat. Grandpa was the king of a province before independence, and Papa was a major politician and lawyer after independence. Son followed the same path, doing politics and law and climbing up the ladder, finally reaching the presidency two years ago.

DW reviewed his progress last year. He is definitely a populist in the old Okie tradition. He promised more factories, more public education, less debt, punishment for bankers, and less corruption. Free secondary education came immediately, though it's taking time for the system to ramp up. The factories are also starting, but the debt and corruption haven't moved.

Akufo-Addo's own Twitter feed looks a lot like Salvini's Twitter. He's visible all over Ghana, supporting new schools and new businesses, shaming banks and criminals.

Now we've got the connection, and now I'm going to continue watching. I'm not quite ready to mark Ghana on the non-Soros side of the map.

After more lookup: Akufo-Addo is trying to be Ghana's FDR. He's moving forward on many fronts at once, toward digital infrastructure, better training, better power grids. He set up and sent out a CCC-type youth corps.


Couple days later: Maybe this accounts for the Euro interest in Ghana.

The U.S. Geological Survey estimated that two years ago there were at least 41 billion untapped barrels of crude oil in sub-Saharan Africa alone. Exxon is focusing on western and southern Africa in its exploration work and has been amassing stakes in oil and gas prospect in Ghana, Mauritania, Namibia, and South Africa. The supermajor hopes to strike a discovery containing no less than a billion barrels of crude, also known as an elephant.

Better watch out with that last word. Sounds raaaaaaaaaaaaciss, as well as an Insult To Endangered Species.
