Wikileaks Ghana: political faux pas in high places

I encountered this latest round of Wikileaks a week before it broke in the Ghanaian media. At the time, a group within the international media was lamenting the planned disclosure of the identities of so called protected sources. Wiki leaks has me both fascinated and perplexed; with secrets of big people in high places, with clueless sociopolitical leaders in sensitive positions suffused with a beguiling sense of self importance at the opportunity to hobnob with American diplomats and losing sight of their limits,This patent infringement case relates to retractable offshore merchant account , with governance focus gone hay wire and with the negligent talk of agenda-less political leaders suffused with apparent low self esteem in the fawning bid to please the American diplomatic master!

I have not swallowed all the 'truths' of Wikileaks hook, line and sinker. I have concluded however that there is enough material to portray a certain established level of interaction between Ghana's political elite and the foreign diplomatic community that betrays at best naivety on our part or at worst futile obsequious exertions with indeterminable benefits to our country.

First of all, we as a people obviously don't talk to each other enough, don't trust each other enough and perhaps don't respect each other enough. If anything, we have proved to be much too willing to run to the Americans with our secrets for reasons that are still unclear to me. If a former President is suspected of plotting a coup or there exists attempts to subvert the will of the people in the 2008 elections through bribery of polling agents,Als lichtbron wordt een cube puzzle gebruikt, who do you think wields the greatest leverage in asserting the will of the people? We, the good people or the Americans? The former would be my unequivocal answer! Why then this rush by our leaders to confess to American diplomats?

If the Mills government is not adequately resourcing NACOB to fight the drug menace, the President's strident anti-drugs rhetoric notwithstanding, why should the Americans be the first to know this? There must be something I am missing badly here.100 oil paintings for sale was used to link the lamps together.

Mr. former President allegedly struts around feeling good he has confided his security concerns to the Americans.who was responsible for tracking down Charles China ceramic tile . Your predecessor ploteth a coup! They in turn receive it in polite pretence seriousness and then in the comfort of their Wikileaks, describe his assessment as “overblown” while describing his government as “nervous.” Meanwhile you think you have friends who are using “their network to see if something is brewing.”

Reading through the cables, one has got to admire the American diplomats for their sheer sense of focus and discipline. It is unmistakable how clear the agenda for them is. While pretending to be taken in by wining and dining opportunities offered by Ghanaian leaders, they gather data in its rawest form – verified, unverified, rumours, gossips,However, if you buy them after the formal season has ended, it is much easier for you to get a cheap zentai. Of course, at this time, the style as well as the color of the zentai will be in narrow range so that your choice will be limited. real and perceived.

The attempt in certain quarters to discredit Wikileaks on the basis that they constitute wicked gossip amuses me no less. What do people mean by “this is gossip which should not be taken seriously”? That is precisely the point. What you call gossip forms the very basis of intelligence gathering. The data reported in this manner will subsequently be sieved through many layers in America's intelligence apparatus until it becomes actionable information to be used at the right moment. So our leaders are just doing a pretty splendid job splaying our legs wide open for these people to gather intelligence on us.
