“America uses its position as the “global police” to scour the earth for the natural resources it needs and then somehow engineers a way to enter the country and take what is needed. The entrance strategy may be through corporations and unbalanced trade “agreements” or through military power.”

Branch continues by saying that the real problem facing Ugandans in the north is not Joseph Kony but land speculators, many foreign, who operate in collaboration with the Ugandan government and military to grab the land belonging by rights to the Acholi people who had been displaced by the government into internment camps a decade ago.”
