Starnet and LIBERIA
Don`t get burned again, SELL!
JU-JU IN THE JUNGLE
Guns, terror, murder, money laundering and diamond smuggling!
In many West African countries, local people have great faith in "ju-ju magic" of the kind associated with witchdoctors. They believe in evil spirits, taboos, fetishes, animal spirits, and other highly dubious charms such as chimpanzee teeth, the entrails of monkeys, the garish feathers of tropical birds. Once it was possible to spook West Africans with the mention of the word "ju-ju" -- a convenient ruse to exploit any kind of mystery to people, and so confuse them.
There is now another great mystery. Why is Starnet getting into bed with a new partner in crime, namely the government of Liberia? A press release from Starnet has just announced the compelling news that it has been "selected by the Procurement Negotiation Committee of the Gaming Board of the Republic of Liberia as the Apparent Successful Vendor to provide ... a customized, complete Internet gaming system … to include an Internet casino, Sportsbook and other games of chance for real money wagers."
Starnet claims to be "excited about having a government as a licensee" and in turn the Liberian government "plans to allocate a large percentage of the revenues generated from the site to international and domestic charities."
Just a minute. Before they start talking about handing over large sums of money to charities, what about the players, some of whom have been waiting 12 months for payment of their winnings from Starnet! If people think they`ll ever get paid by the government of Liberia, they`d better think again!
It`s time for Gambling Magazine to introduce some clarity and perspective. The idea of Starnet announcing "The World`s First Government Run Internet Casino" should make investors (and players) go catatonic with disbelief. Would you want the government of Liberia as your business partner?
The President is a Cannibal!
President Charles Ghankay Taylor of Liberia has filed a libel case in London against the London Times over allegations that he personally was a flesh eater and organized ritual human sacrifices in his own house!
Warlord Charles Taylor came to power at the end of a bloody civil war in 1997 which claimed the lives of 250,000 people and resulted in the destruction of this West African country, about the size of Tennessee. The country has just 2.6 million inhabitants. Unfortunately many of its citizens have no arms or legs as they were amputated by soldiers acting for the government, when they tried to vote in democratic elections.
Oxford scholar Stephen Ellis accused Taylor in his book "The Mask of Anarchy" of "indulging in human sacrifice and the ritualistic consumption of human body parts." The Times article appeared on November 2, 1999, just a few months ago. The article talked of reports that the president also enjoyed drinking the blood of his murdered rivals, who were specially selected before being killed. Cannibalism was a prevalent practice in Liberia. When the civil war came, young fighters high on drugs and alcohol went on the rampage looking for people to cut up into pieces. They`d often kill each other over fights about who`d get the best body parts to eat! The book has been praised elsewhere for its balanced reporting.
The Country is Bankrupt!
Liberia is not a rich country. Arable land makes up less than 1% of the land, which has a total area of about 112,000 sq. kilometers. Dust-laden Harmattan winds blow across it from the Sahara. The infant mortality rate is over 100 deaths per 1000 live births. Ethnic groups include the Kpelle, Bassa, Gio, Kru, Mano, Gola, Loma, Kissi, Vai and Bella tribes. Americo-Liberians, descendants of immigrants from the U.S. who had been slaves, comprise about 2.5% of the population.
Industries are mainly rubber processing, palm oil processing, and diamond mining. Main agricultural products are rice, coffee, cocoa, palm oil, sugercane, bananas, sheep, goats, timber. There are fewer than 25,000 telephones in the country and about 56,000 TV sets. The unemployment rate is 70% and a startling 80% of the country live below the poverty line.
About 500 public school teachers have just arrived in the capital Monrovia demanding payment of their salaries. They haven`t been paid for 11 months. A spokesman demanded that the Finance Ministry settle the payment of their salary arrears. The Finance Ministry then reported that money for the payment of teachers` salaries had been stolen, so that was why they couldn`t be paid!
A local radio station, Star Radio, has had its short wave broadcasting licence withdrawn by Taylor`s government, which has been seen as a plot to monopolize information to rural Liberia via the president`s own private short-wave radio station. A human rights lawyer fears that "when we reach a point where an individual has to decide what the people hear, then it`s rotten and it smells dictatorship."
The Internet in Liberia doesn`t work!
Gambling Magazine has found this note posted on an Internet site:
Subject: Liberia link turned off.
"PAS has cut service to Liberia.net after not receiving payment for many months now. So there is currently no public Internet access in Liberia."
In actual fact it is an auspicious time for the Internet in Africa. Although most people struggle to access a telephone line, let alone a computer, the market is expanding rapidly. Africa Online is the continent`s most broadly based Internet service provider.
Right now some personnel from the Liberia Telecommunications Corporation (LTC) are under investigation (these are personnel from the Technical and Security Departments) in connection with a fire that broke out at LTC, disrupting all digital and international lines. The whole country is in a state bordering on anarchy, and corruption is rife.
Diamonds, Smuggling and Dictators
It`s clear that Starnet must be getting really desperate for licensees if it has to sign up the government of Liberia! In recent years, countless Africans have been killed and maimed by weapons purchased with diamond revenues, or by armed thugs trying to clear the land and control the mines. You can buy an AK47 there for only $10.
About $10 billion earned in trading diamonds from Liberia, the Congo and Sierra Leone has been poured into various African wars. Antwerp`s Diamond High Council has reported that over the past five years its traders have imported 30 million carats of diamonds from Liberia, a country that is said to be incapable of producing even 2% of that amount.
A new report on the diamond trade also urges Belgium to stop its complicity in fueling Africa`s wars and take steps "to end its attraction for organized crime syndicates." It says that "by accepting Liberian exports of diamonds as legitimate, the international diamond industry actively colludes in crimes committed or permitted by the Liberian government."
The report calls on diamond merchants to close the trading offices in Liberia (and Ivory Coast) that encourage smuggling and make their capitals a magnet for guns, terror, money laundering and diamond smuggling.
Drugs
Liberia is now increasingly recognized as a transshipment point for Southeast and Southwest Asian heroin and South American cocaine for the European and U.S. markets. Now it looks as if the drugs trail is to stretch all the way from Vancouver to a seedy government office in downtown Monrovia, the capital of Liberia.
Starnet has had no end of problems attracting good directors, staff, licensees, partners, so now they are heading for the African bush to set up with a bunch of corrupt, drug dealing, diamond smuggling, bankrupt partners with a liking for human flesh. The Starnet directors should watch out. They might end up in the cooking pot! If they intend closing a deal in one of the local restaurants, do they know that dinner there can cost an arm and a leg?
Investors should beware of this latest Starnet ruse to attract attention by signing a deal with a bunch of hopeless cannibals. The only charity the Liberians look like donating funds to are themselves. West Africans are fond of palm wine. It`s said to be so strong that it makes your eyes weak and your head fuzzy for days. Maybe the Liberians should give some to the Starnet directors. They won`t know whether they`re in Vancouver, Antigua, or Liberia and the palm wine might add some flavor to the bones in the cannibals` cooking pots. This gives new meaning to the term "Head Hunting."
Seriously, whoever cooked up this latest idea needs treatment from a medical doctor. The witchdoctors must be laughing their heads off.
Cannibal Jokes
Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other, "Does this taste funny to you?"
That reminds me of the cannibal that passed his friend in the woods.
And from David & Virginia`s collection:
When do cannibals leave the table?
When everyone`s eaten.
What is a cannibal`s favorite type of TV show?
A celebrity roast.
Where do cannibals shop for fine furniture?
Eatin` Allen`s.
What did the cannibal give his wife for Valentine`s Day?
A box of farmer`s fannies.
What do cannibals eat for dessert?
Chocolate covered aunts.
What do cannibals make out of politicians?
Bologna sandwiches.
What did the cannibal get when he was late for dinner?
The cold shoulder.
What is a cannibal`s favorite game?
Swallow the leader.
Have you heard about the cannibal restaurant?
Dinner costs an arm and a leg.
Did you hear about the cannibal who loved fast food?
He ordered a pizza with everybody on it.
Did you hear about the cannibal who was expelled from school for buttering up his teacher?
Cannibal: One who loves his fellow man with gravy.
Cannibal`s recipe book: How to Serve Your Fellow Man.
One cannibal to another: I never met a man I didn`t like.
Two cannibals were sitting by a fire. The first says, "Gee, I hate my mother-in-law."
The 2nd replies, "So, try the potatoes.
The first cannibal asked the 2nd cannibal, "Aren`t you done eating yet?"
The 2nd cannibal replied, "I`m on my last leg now."
One day a cannibal visited the neighboring island of cannibals. There, people cost $2 but politicians cost $25. The visiting cannibal asked, "How come politicians cost so much?" The chief answered, "Do you know how hard it is to clean one of those?"
A man gets captured by cannibals and every day they poke him with spears and use his blood to wash down their food. Finally the guy calls the chief over and says, "You can kill me or you can eat me, but I`m tired of getting stuck for drinks."
Don`t miss the next update in a few hours!
Dies ist natürlich völlig ernst gemeint;-)

Rich wenn du diesen rasistische Minst von Levy postest, dann beziehe dich bitte auf das "Gamblingmagazin", das eine Lachnummer ist. Mittlerweile sollte jeder kapiert haben, daß Levy eine LAchnummer ist, den keiner mehr ernst nimmt außer ein paar "Nihctswissende". Aber rich dich zähle ich eigentlich nicht dazu. Haßt du das Lager gewechselt?

Wo ist dein Humor? Ich kanns ja verstehen das man auf solche Juxbeiträge bei sinkenden Kursen allergisch reagiert,aber bei steigenden Kursen?
Jetzt mal ehrlich, wer beim Durchlesen dieses Artikels nicht nach einigen Zeilen schon merkt das es Spaß ist und in ernst nimmt, der kann entweder kein Englisch oder er ist wirklich dämlich!
"Guns, terror, murder, money laundering and diamond smuggling!
The President is a Cannibal!
President Charles Ghankay Taylor of Liberia was a flesh eater and organized ritual human sacrifices in his own house!usw.usw."
Ich halte eigentlich die Leute hier für intelligent genug solche Artikel nicht für voll zu nehmen.
Noch dazu habe ich den Artikel mit einem Smiley versehen.
Immer locker bleiben, wir sehen ja bald die 5000$;-)
