It simply frustrates me how many Ugandans simply fail to realize the danger
of Norbert Mao, the man is a simple sell out.

Govt denies Khama-CIA link

The government has responded angrily to allegations that linked President
Ian Khama to Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of United States of America
(USA).
Description: https://www.mmegi.bw/2013/August/Tuesday27/php40E.tmp.jpg
Botswana government has reacted angrily to a report linking President Ian
Khama to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The 'Ground Coverage Report'
has caused consternation in Botswana as it states that through International
Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA) in Botswana, 85 Rwandans have already
undergone intelligence training and get posted back in Rwanda. ILEA has
offices in Otse and its website redirects to the US Embassy to Botswana
portal.
ILEA Director, Kelebemang Motlhanka admitted that Botswana trains Rwandans
at their base but denies any ties with the CIA and former Rwandan General
Faustin Kayumba."We do train Rwandans and the number is absolutely less than
80. We train with 34 other countries as well. It's not our business to know
who recruits them afterwards but I can say I am not well aware of any
General Nyamwasa. We have no relationship with the CIA but we are being
funded by the US government and our own government," Motlhanka said.There
are allegations that Nyamwasa is based in South Africa and is recruiting the
Rwandans trained in Botswana to set up a military team. Nyamwasa's profile
reveals that he was Head of Intelligence in Rwanda throughout the RPA
struggle. At the time of his demise, Kayumba was Rwanda's High Commissioner
to India.
Rwandan media have reported that during his tenure as head of intelligence,
Deputy Commander of Gendarme, Army Chief of Staff, SG NSS and Rwanda's High
Commissioner to India, colleagues remember him as a man of intrigue and
patronage. He used his position to fabricate accusations against anyone he
saw as a potential contender to a position that gave him closer proximity to
RPA leadership. Such fabricated accusations usually led to imprisonment,
demotion or demobilisation for the victims. To date, there is in Rwanda and
elsewhere, former RPA fighters who given a chance would want to settle
scores with Nyamwasa, most especially now that he does not control any
instruments of power, Rwandan media has reported.
Motlhanka denied any alleged ILEA's affiliation with the NED, which is
supposedly a multi-billion-dollar private, non-government, non-profit
foundation that receives a yearly appropriation from the US government.
Botswana has trained Rwandans under the ILEA, which is a cooperative effort
between Botswana, the USA and 34 other countries, Motlhanka said. The first
ILEA was established in Budapest, Hungary, under the leadership of the US
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 1995. A second ILEA, under the
leadership of the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), was opened in
Bangkok. ILEA Gaborone is the third ILEA opened outside the US. It was set
up under the leadership of the US Federal Law Enforcement Training Center
(FLETC), whose parent organisation is now the U.S. Department of Home Land
Security.
Government spokesperson, Dr Jeff Ramsay has moved to dismiss the allegations
carried by the report. He said the report has been alleged to be a political
dirty campaign designed to discredit individuals in South Africa and
elsewhere in the region.This controversial report has accused Botswana of
being a central operation base for the United States of America (USA) plot
to train militants and incite rebellion in African countries, which is why
US will never stage a coup in Botswana.The viral 'Ground Coverage Report'
which received mixed reactions about its legitimacy in South Africa with
suspended secretary general of Confederation of South African Trade Unions
(COSATU) Zwelinzima Vavi requesting the South African Minister of Defence to
investigate its validity.Of the many allegations raised, the report has
claimed that Khama was trained by the CIA and labelled Botswana as America's
close ally while at the same time disclosing internal communication between
intelligence agents and their attempt to recruit Vavi.
Allegations that the CIA funded National Endowment for Democracy (NED),
orchestrated Khama's rise to Presidency, with Ministers such as Kitso
Mokaila, Tshekedi Khama and Ramadeluka Seretse having been trained by the
NED on governance are raised by the report. The NED is said to target all
liberation movements in Africa and remove them so that they can set up new
constitutions and presidential terms that are aligned with the US.The source
in the report, noted that although Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) is a
'liberation movement' it would not be overthrown by the US. "Botswana's
opposition parties and unions are not strong enough...in the eyes of many
African states...its economy is equivalent to a municipality. BDP won't be
touched mainly because of Ian Khama," the report stated.
An exposition by Philip Agee titled: News You Wont Find On CNN-How US
Infiltrates 'Civil Society' To Overthrow Governments, Agee mentions that
money to NED is channelled through four "core foundations". These are the
National Democratic Institute for International Affairs, (linked to the
Democratic Party); the International Republican Institute (Republican
Party); the American Center for International Labor Solidarity; and the
Center for International Private Enterprise (US Chamber of Commerce).
"The NED has been labelled the CIA Trojan Horse: How many Americans could
identify the National Endowment for Democracy? An organisation, which often
does exactly the opposite of what its name implies. The NED was set up in
the early 1980s under President Ronald Reagan in the wake of all the
negative revelations about the CIA in the second half of the 1970s. The
Agency was getting an exceedingly bad name, and it was causing the
powers-that-be much embarrassment."Something had to be done. What was done
was not to stop doing these awful things.What was done was to shift many of
these awful things to a new organisation, with a nice sounding name, The
National Endowment for Democracy. The idea was that the NED would do
somewhat overtly what the CIA had been doing covertly for decades, and thus,
hopefully, eliminate the stigma associated with CIA covert activities," it
read.
Government spokesperson, Ramsay has said the report has been cooked up to
cause a rift in politics within the region. "Further to the above we note
that the said same report with its truly bizarre claims that the 'National
Endowment of Democracy,' a US based NGO in cahoots with the World Movement
for Democracy is somehow micro-managing this region's politics has been
treated with derision by mainstream media within South Africa, as well as
commentators from across the political spectrum," Ramsay said.Ramsay
countered the report's allegation that Khama came from training 15 years ago
and became president. He said that Khama studied at the Royal Military
Academy at Sandhurst during the early 1970s, and only became President in
2008. "One wonders why anyone would dignify a so-called intelligence report
that in its crude ignorance claims that 10 to 15 years after said training
he became President?Given the simple fact that individuals such as Tshekedi
Khama and Mokgweetsi Masisi were never employed in the military or security
establishments of this or any other country, one wonders why anyone would
wish to escalate bizarre and slanderous claims to the contrary, wondered
Ramsay. Ramsay also wondered why the report claimed the Thebephatswa
Military Base to be a US base when it has been accessible even to
journalists."Perhaps more to the point we would ask why anyone would wish to
take such an obvious example of disinformation seriously. As the Government
of Botswana we too will look forward with interest to the outcome of such an
inquiry, should it take place."
The following is a publicly available list of some of the various NGOs that
are either known or are broadly accepted as CIA front operations. These
organisations funnel money directly from their budget into various unknown
and foundations, humanitarian groups, and private companies to further CIA
priorities:
*National Democratic Institute for International Affairs,
*National Endowment for Democracy ,
*Freedom House,
*Millennium Challenge Corporation,
*International Center for Journalists and;
*Center for International Private
