Murderously crazy:
Western powers, including America, have become murderous and crazy in recent times. Among them are the big western conglomerates who have been put in their place by Captain Ibrahim Traoré of Burkina Faso.
Why do we say murderously crazy? Imagine this. In less than 30 months, repeat 30 months; the western powers and European and American power houses have organised numerous assassination attempts and overthrow plots against Captain Ibrahim Traoré.
Can you guess how many times they have tried to kill him? The figures put out by African media outlets is 30 times. Which is even higher than my own figures of 22 times. This is absolutely crazy. Imagine how outrageous and sick this western outlook and policy is. No other Foreign President or Prime Minister has been subjected to such vile and evil treatment by so-called democratic and law-abiding Nations and Leaders.
The only one who came nearest to this level of hate and fear, for his independent policies, was the Cuban President, Castro. Whom the Americans tried to kill and assassinate in over 20 failed attempts, which was over a 40 year period. In comparison, over 22 failed attempts, perhaps as high as 30 attempts, have already been launched against him within these 30 months of his rule.
The latest was on April 16, 2025. Which like the others was foiled, due to the loyalty, discipline and courage of Burkina Faso's troops and the support and love of its people for their President. Another plot to kill him and overthrow his government was discovered. This was set to take place sometime in June of this year.
Why is the West so afraid of this young man of 37 years? He is just a leader trying his best to uplift his people and bring prosperity and hope for his country and people. That is his rightful duty, as the head of his country.
Even President Trump of America has gone on a mad rampage. He has aggressively denounced Captain Ibrahim Traoré and even called for his overthrow or his assassination. He has revealed the American intention to create havoc and instability in Burkina Faso. For which a massive disinformation campaign has been launched and put into action.
Captain Ibrahim Traoré is now portrayed as a destabilising force, ineffective in combating the insurgents. Keep in mind the numerous insurgent forces were created, financed, trained, armed and even guided by the French themselves. Now America has joined forces with the French and other European countries and business tycoons to attack Burkina Faso.
A most disgusting media disinformation has also started. They now claim Captain Ibrahim Traoré is using the gold reserves of his country for his own protection and in building his image, supposedly at the expense of his people.
The truth be told, Captain Ibrahim Traoré has safeguarded the foreign reserves of his country by taking control of two gold mines; freezing the imports of foreign goods to promote the country's own industries; stopping the export of local food stuff to enable Native industries to bloom and grow; building over 50,000 houses to be given to the people free of charge; building hospitals, medical clinics, providing mobile health care for the rural areas; a futuristic township with the most modern facilities; roads, electricity generation station and solar powered energy, water supply, irrigation; a dam; better seed and fertiliser help for farmers; bought thousands of modern machinery, improved the international airport; hotels; created a massive logistic centre and much, much more. While living a simple life on a Captain's salary instead of the huge President's salary that was his due.
While also paying off the National debt of 4.75 billion and increasing the Nation's GDP from 18.8 billion in 2022 to 22.3 billion in 2024. About a 17% increase in just 2 years. Imagine that! It is estimated that by end of 2026, Burkina Faso's GDP would increase to around 28-29 Billion and its gold reserves to several hundreds of tonnes worth.
Yet the Americans are now painting him as a scheming dishonest person, who is benefitting and enriching himself like other corrupt leaders of Africa. Which is an absolute lie and a most damning insult to an honest, caring leader and his people. One his very own people have denounced vigorously as a blatant falsehood.
Yet the truth be damned. The Americans were determined to create mischief and set in motion various schemes to discredit him and stir up troubles for Burkina Faso. Firstly they created an organisation for "Information Reinvention." Which simply meant "disinformation." Through which they proceeded to create a negative impression about Burkina Faso.
Firstly a very crafted Senatorial hearing was organised. Where very loaded questions were asked of an African American General. This "Jim Crow" sold out his African heritage and played along very carefully into the prepared script. The answers were spot on: very biased, dishonest and misrepresenting of the truth on the ground.
This was used to push the agenda to the next level. Suddenly news media in the west; in African Countries with corrupt leaders allied to the west; and even some Burkina Faso reporters started a smear campaign against Captain Ibrahim Traoré and his Government. It was so well coordinated and similar in its story outlines, which would have been impossible if written by honest reporters from diverse locations, sentiments and even language differences.
Then the western intelligence organised protests in various European Capitals, like Paris and Rome. These protesters were supposedly Burkina Faso citizens, the supposedly Burkinabe diaspora, calling out their government for corruption and inability to protect the people. The West media played up these so-called protests.
African and a few western reporters soon blew up these protests as being staged. Not only staged but the protesters were in fact paid to participate in these protests. For one, several protesters were photographed and seen being paid money by whites sitting in black cars after the protests. Furthermore, many of the protesters who claimed to be Burkinabe people were found to be imposters, as they could not speak either of the two main dialects of Burkina Faso. Most were foreigners posing as Burkinabe citizens for money.
The Americans with French support took this campaign to the next level. Their paid proxies; the very insurgents responsible for all the destruction and safety issues were let loose. A huge force of over 400 terrorists launched a deep attack into Burkina Faso, targeting several towns and villages quite near to the Capital. The defence forces were taken by surprise and suffered some losses and had to withdraw.
However they quickly recovered and launched a powerful operation which defeated the insurgents; left many of them dead and they were forced to withdraw. This victory for the government side was achieved with the help of the people, who took up arms, even old depleted weapons to defend their homeland. They also guided the government forces through outback tracts and trails, allowing the government forces to outsmart and encircle the insurgents.
Sadly many civilians and government soldiers lost their lives. Yet it showed how dearly they loved their President, and how far they were prepared to go to safeguard him. Would they have made such sacrifices to protect a corrupt, disruptive President, as the Americans portrayed Captain Ibrahim Traore to be? Their respect and love for him was so high. He was their Hero; their Legend and Saviour. Who has not only given them hope, their dignity, their pride and a future; that was so unimaginable just three years ago.
The foreigners took things even further to stir up trouble within Burkina Faso. Their paid provocateurs went out in the streets of Burkina Faso calling on Captain Ibrahim Traoré to freeze the attacks against the insurgents. Claiming that he should instead negotiate with them and treat them with respect in the spirit of Islamic brotherhood. This at a time when they were causing so much trouble, destruction and disrupting the lives and livelihood of over 2 million Burkinabe citizens. This was how mad and crazy the situation was.
These were just a portion of the troubles the Americans started creating in the country and elsewhere. Besides these the Americans even issued a stage 4 travel advisory notice. That is they were advising their citizens, and indirectly others, to be cautious when travelling or planning to travel to Burkina Faso. Together with this, certain sanctions were imposed on Burkina Faso.
Why? The reasons are multifaceted. Firstly, Captain Ibrahim Traoré did not attend the inauguration ceremony for President Trump, as he had pressing previously arranged appointments. This was a big blow for Trump, who believed everyone would bow at his feet. Especially a "nobody" like Captain Ibrahim Traoré, whom he saw as a mere insignificant ant.
Secondly, when America offered to send second-hand clothing to Burkina Faso; Captain Ibrahim Traoré rejected this soggy gift outright. Instead he swore to clothe his own people, which he is doing so now in stages.
Thirdly, when Captain Ibrahim Traoré took control of two gold mines; one was American controlled, America suffered huge losses. The thievery of Burkina Faso's resources was blocked. America lost access to huge amounts of gold. This infuriated America greatly. Likewise the ban on imports of cotton, corn, wheat, millet, etc hit the American agriculture sector badly. Profits in the Millions of Dollars were lost. Again angering America.
Fourthly, when Burkina Faso kicked out the French, it had a rippling and devastating effect throughout Africa and elsewhere. Many other African Nations followed suit, including Ghana which hosted American troops. The loss of revenue and prestige was unbearable. America, like the French etc, saw Captain Ibrahim Traoré as a stumbling block in their grand plans to keep Africa in poverty and in permitting them to exploit and "rob" these Nations of their natural resources. They hated him because he could not be corrupted. Nor could they assassinate or kill him (22-30 attempts already) because of his peoples' love and loyalty for him.
On top of which he was bringing development, prosperity, health care, education and much more to Burkina Faso at such a fast unbelievable pace that it shocked everyone, even seasoned professionals and senior advisors to the governments. This was bad for the West, as their influence was being undermined. Not by power or might, but by achievements and results that benefitted the people, leading to citizens of other African Nations to demand the same resolute actions from their leaders.
Fifthly, on several occasions French diplomats and top ranking intelligence personnel have visited Captain Ibrahim Traoré in the Presidential House. They literally threatened him with death, giving examples of leaders like Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso; Mohamed Gaddafi of Libya; etc who tried to go their separate paths. They asked him in a veiled threat, "where are they now? All dead." The implication was very clear: either you bow your knees to us and follow our set goals or you too will be assassinated. Captain Ibrahim Traoré refused to be intimidated. His response was, "we do not bow to bullies. Our destiny is ours to chart." The population roared its approval and stood by him.
Now America is quite openly threatening to kill this visionary leader, even giving hints of invading the country under the pretext of stabilising the country from its insurgent problems and replacing the regime with a democratically elected one. America may not invade, but the hint of a possible invasion was meant to stir up fears and apprehension of such a possibility. Therewith, to promote disunity and encourage the military to overthrow the Captain. This sly and devious plot failed miserably, as the people chose to stand by their Captain.
Keep in mind that when Captain Ibrahim Traoré wanted to give up his position as an interim President, the people poured out into the streets in large numbers to call for and demand that he continue as the President of Burkina Faso. Democracy was an exploitative and useless system for them, one that has only exploited and enslaved them. Whereas with the ascending of Captain Ibrahim Traoré to the Presidency; they have witnessed, seen and now had real hope to see a revived Burkina Faso, which will be able to provide and care for them and their descendants to come.
As for the insurgent threats, they now knew who the real scoundrels were; who were financing and arming the insurgents and causing such mayhem within their country. They dismiss this disinformation as baseless and rather support the government and its dynamic leadership.
Sixthly, Trump was greatly pissed off as Captain Ibrahim Traoré kept refusing to take his calls. This was a great blow to an inflated mega egomaniac like Trump, who believed himself to be the next American Hero, like the fictitious cartoon character Captain America. Thus he expected everyone, especially the African leaders to grovel and pay homage to his "great" self. To his surprise, Captain Ibrahim Traoré had no time for this nonsense, nor for the bully tactics of this silly American leader. He ignored Trump's calls.
Trump went into a rage and ordered the CIA; the other intelligence agencies; the military; the foreign affairs department; the trade regulators, the media, etc to prepare a coordinated attack to kill or overthrow Captain Ibrahim Traoré.
How sad that a very capable young leader is targeted for assassination just for doing what is right and honourable. The world must wake up to this. Let's join hands with leaders like Captain Ibrahim Traoré and work for the better of humanity. Cause believe me; what happens in Burkina Faso will have an impact on us. Positive effect from Captain Ibrahim Traoré's examples and leadership and negative ones from European/American controlled leadership.
Choose the one who brings happiness, prosperity, safety, growth, dignity and hope. Over one whose hands are already covered in the blood of assassinated leaders and civilians.
