</p>
<p>Secret recordings. Once classified films.
Hidden documents. From inside the archives of
the US government comes a story of racism and
manipulation that reveals how the actions of a
nation ultimately brought about the collapse of
a continent: Africa. <br>
</p>
<p>Over the course of just the last 50 years,
approximately 20 million Africans have lost
their lives in numerous civil wars. Multi-Emmy
award-winning filmmaker Del Walters shows how
those wars are directly linked to corruption
that reaches the highest levels of American
politics. The US is the leading arms supplier
for wars in Africa.<br>

Fast. Heaven help you when the US decides to
'help' you.</i>" <br>

<p>"<i>If Africa were a continent of white people,
would 15,000,000 be dead now? No</i> ... <i>I
call it assisted genocide or assisted suicide;
we're doing this to vast countries and
continents today.</i>"<br>

color="#666666"><font color="#555555">In
December of 1974, major U.S. government
agencies involved in foreign affairs
submitted a detailed report on population
control in developing countries.
Contributions came from the Central
Intelligence Agency, The Departments of
States, Defense, and Agriculture, and the
Agency for International Development. Their
contributions were combined into one major
report with the title, <b>"Implications of
Worldwide Population Growth for U.S.
Security and Overseas Interests.</b>" The
final study -- more than 200 pages --
covered many topics from the viewpoint of
each of the participating agencies.<br>
<br>
"<b>NSSM</b>" stands for "National Security
Study Memorandum," and the number 200
identifies the order in which it was
produced. The original request for a review
of overseas population policies was written
April 27, 1974 by Henry Kissinger. The
actual study became the official guide to
foreign policy November 26, 1975, when a
National Security Decision Memorandum (NSDM
314) was signed that endorsed the findings
of the study.<br>
<br>
NSSM 200 was compiled by the National
Security Council, which is the highest level
of command in the U.S. government. The NSC
is headed by the President of the United
States and his designated Security Advisor,
and its purpose is to coordinate the
overseas operations of all executive
branches the U.S. government. <a
