I don't like the US government, whether Democrats or Republicans, they are all a bunch of unfaithful, deceitful hardened criminals, who have made Americans unsafe because of their criminal activities.

I work eight hours a day, thus; forty hours per week. During my leisure hours, I will not exhaust my precious time to generate conflicts between NDC and NPP in Ghana.

Instead, I will use my time wisely to expose the US government because many Africans at home have no idea about this evil government hiding under the canopy of Democracy.

On 31 December 2015, on the order of a court, 3,000 emails were published based on the personal correspondence of Hillary Clinton, which passed through her private mail when she was Secretary of State. This blunder later undermined her race to the White House.

Some of her emails clearly, delineate the geopolitical and economic framework that led France and the United Kingdom to the decision to overthrow a stable and one of the best governments in Africa under Muammar Gaddafi of Libya. Libya is one of the world’s richest countries and the largest African producer of oil and gas.

Hillary’s email, an UNCLASSIFIED US Department of State Case No- F-2014-20439 Doc No- C05785522, sent on April 2, 2011, by the official Sidney Blumenthal, a former close associate of Bill Clinton before Hillary, was titled “ France's client & Qaddafi's gold. ”

The summarized contents of the mail are:
France has clear economic interests at stake in the attack on Libya.

The French government has organized the anti-Gaddafi factions by initially feeding the coup leaders with weapons, money, militia trainers (even suspected of links with Al-Qaeda), intelligence and special forces on the ground.

The reasons for Sarkozy's action are above all economic and geopolitical, which the US official summarizes in 5 points:

As intelligent Ghanaian leaders, I thought they should have known what the US government stands for. American governments don’t help any African country to grow. They overthrow Kwame Nkrumah because he was too clever and had good plans for the entire African continent.

The US government collaborated with the Belgian government to kill Patrice Lumumba because Congo had independence from Belgium. Thus, it still baffles me whenever I read about a deal between Ghana and the United States to deepen economic cooperation for the mutual benefit of the two countries. Mutual what?

How can Ghana enter into economic cooperation with a country which doesn’t want to see progress in any African country? I am expecting intelligent Ghanaian leaders to analyze the historical past events of Africa, to acknowledge the destruction and carnage the US government has caused on the continent.

Can the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, tell Ghanaians, the economic achievements in Ghana, since that agreement was signed at the Jubilee House, in Accra, last year? Again, as the Minister of Finance, how many financial institutions have collapsed under your administration?

Based on what I have read about the US government’s involvement in destroying Africa's economy to retard its growth, for example, look at the way they have killed Congolese with Ebola, just because of a precious mineral called Cobalt. Now Venezuela's economy is in complete ruins, while the US government wants everyone to know that president Nicolas Maduro is the evil one.

How could any intelligent African leader trust a government like America to sign an agreement?

I strongly believe that the US government has actually made things extremely difficult for Nana Akufo Addo. Ghana's economy would have been better under Akufo Addo without signing any economic benefits between the two countries.
