IN DEFENSE OF OSAGYEFO KWAME NKRUMAH This is a response to the anti-Nkrumah propaganda in a so-called Kwame Nkrumah ‘biography’ by “Africa Books Limited” - which is located on the “Kwame Nkrumah infobank” of the “Kwame Nkrumah Centenary Committee,” which was set up by the National Democratic Congress government It is without any factual basis to allege, [Nkrumah] probably contributed to the worsening situation through weaknesses — such as suspicion, and being easily impressed and flattered without any evidence or reliable source information. It is responsible to be suspicious when there are documented assassination attempt on the Head of State and attempts to illegally and violently overthrow the government by unconstitutional means, by the organized opposition which was being sponsored by the CIA of the United States. The evidence in the case against Obetsebi Lamptey in the following judgment is a reasonable basis for Kwame Nkrumah’s suspicion: This is taken from an article titled – The In-depth Story of a Character Groomed by a Terrorist, by Ghana Palaver. “A source book of the Constitutional Law of Ghana, Volume II (part 1): The Cases: 1872 through 1970”, authored by S.O Gyandoh, Jnr and J. Griffiths and cited as 2 G and G. at page 209. The Judgement of the High Court, Special Criminal Division consisting of Arku Korsah CJ. Van Lare and Sarkodee-Addo JJ.S.C, was delivered by Arku Korsah CJ and is reported at page 209 of the book. The following is an extract from the judgement. “The evidence before us is to the effect that a “plot” was hatched at Lome, who called themselves a “Committee of Ghanaian Refugees”. The third accused Joseph Adotei Addo was in Lome when several meetings were held by the said committee. When eventually the third accused decided to return to Accra, Emmanuel Obetsebi-Lamptey, a prominent member of the committee, asked Addo to secure a room or rooms in Accra, to be used by certain unspecified persons, who were to come to Accra for purposes known to Obetsebi Lamptey and others, which turned out to be “The Bomb Outrages” in the country including the attempt to assassinate the President of the Republic of Ghana, at Kulungugu in the Upper Region of Ghana. Addo returned to Accra on 27 January 1962. Later, at the request of Emmanuel Obetsebi Lamptey, Malam Mama Tula the fourth accused proceeded to Lome, where after a meeting of the committee had been held, Obetsebi Lamptey requested the fourth accused to return to Accra and organize the Gas in Accra. When the fourth accused replied he could not organize the Gas, because he is an Hausa man, one Amandi, a Member of the said committee, and an ex-Member of Parliament, promised to recruit “Northern Territories boys” to come to Accra for the purpose they had in view. Sometime later, Emmanuel Obetsebi Lamptey, came to Accra, and in May 1962 Addo, the third accused, was taken to see Obetsebi Lamptey where he was apparently hiding in a small swish two-room structure which the fifth accused had for the use of his labourers on his poultry farm. It was in this place near Bawaleshie not far from Accra that the conspiracy in Ghana is said to have taken place. At this meeting Obetsebi Lamptey informed Addo that he (Obetsebi Lamptey) had returned to Ghana for certain operations, and asked Addo to tell United Party (UP) members that something would happen in Accra and if it did, they should all co-operate. After this, certain persons referred to in the proceedings as “N.T. boys”, and believed to be the “bomb throwers”, namely, Jacob, Abawku, Ibrahim, Samora, Akudugu and Mama, were found in an accommodation by Addo, the third accused, at Odorkor, a suburb of Accra. A few days later, Addo, the third accused, Malam Mama Tula, the fourth accused, together with the six N.T. boys attended a meeting at Obetsebi Lamptey’s hideout, at which according to the third accused, Adamafio, Ako Adjei, Cofie Crabbe, Lamptey alias Odartey, the two other persons were present, whereas according to the fourth accused, Adamafio, Ako Adjei, Cofie Crabbe, Kweku Boateng, Krobo Adusei and Ofori Atta were present. It is needless to say that in these proceedings we cannot, and indeed we do not, make any findings in respect of these six persons, and others, whose names have also been mentioned, but who are also not charged before this court. At the said meeting, eight hand grenades were produced and together with the sum of 200 Great Britain pounds were handed over to Obetsebi Lamptey to be used in furtherance of the conspiracy. The evidence of overt acts in furtherance of the common purpose to overthrow the government by unlawful means may be summarized as follows: 1. Procuring and producing hand grenades and pistols for the purpose of being used in the intended overthrow of the government. 2. Preparations to assassinate the President, a) at Tema, b) in the precincts of parliament house in Accra, and c) at Kumasi in the month of July 1962. 3. The attempts to assassinate the president at Kulungugu on 1 August 1962 where a hand grenade was thrown at him, resulting in the death of some people and serious injuries to many others. 4. The throwing of a hand grenade on 9 September 1962, into a crowd assembled at Dodowa villas, near flagstaff house, the residence of the president, killing and injuring many people. 5. On 6 September 1962, a hand grenade was thrown at the residence of Mr Abavana, a cabinet Minister. 6. Hand grenade thrown on 20 September 1962, near Lucas house, Accra, into a procession of members of the Convention People’s Party, the government party in connection with the celebration of “the President’s birth Day”, known as “Founder’s Day”, killing and injuring many people. 7. Hand grenade thrown at Chorkor in Accra, on 6 November 1962, at a rally of the Convention people’s Party where some people were injured. 8. Hand grenade thrown into a crowd of merry makers, after the close of general get-together of the Convention People’s Party members, at the stadium in commemoration of the positive action day that is 8 January 1963. 9. On 22 January 1963, when Teiko Tagoe, the first accused was arrested, he was armed with a hand grenade at Bukom square in Accra, at a rally held by the Convention People’s Party. In addition to this the Exemptions Commission headed by Justice Fred Kwesi Apaloo, in which testimonies and evidence was provided of importing bombs into the country, murder of school children, and other atrocities were presented to the commission in order for those secretly and covertly involved in acts of treason and sabotage against the Ghanaian Republic to be exempted from NLCD 332 Elections and Public Offices Disqualification Decree. Evidence of the CIA role in sponsoring the illegal overthrow of Kwame Nkrumah and the CPP elected and constitutional government of Ghana can be found in the article, “Documents Expose U.S. Role in Nkrumah Overthrow, by Paul Lee, among other sources of evidence, like US government documents, exposing CIA involvement, even the CIA selecting the leader for the military dictatorship, Ankrah, as far back as 1962, long before the actual setting up of the NLC. With this evidence, how could the author of this so-called biography call suspicion a “weakness” on the part of Kwame Nkrumah? This is clearly part of the CIA/NLC smear campaign which attempts to blame Kwame Nkrumah and the CPP government for its own illegal overthrow by the CIA sponsored National Liberation Council. It is also false propaganda that, For a few months Dr Nkrumah broadcast to Ghanaians calling on them to overthrow the NLC. There was no immediate response In Kwame Nkrumahs book, Dark Days in Ghana, he documents from pg. 117-125 police “situation reports” as evidence of the Ghanaian masses resistance to the CIA sponsored NLC neo-colonial military dictatorship. This resistance ranged from massive strikes, demonstrations, sabotage, open defiance, and certainly the counter-coup on 17 April 1967 by Lieutenant Samuel Arthur, leading some 120 men of the Recce Squadron, which temporarily captured the radio station, Flagstaff House and the Christianborg Castle, and killing the leader of the 24th February counter-revolutionary rebellion, E.K. Kotoka, would qualify as a response to calls of resistance by Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah. On the 29th of May 1967, two more civilians and an army officer were sentenced to death by the NLC for allegedly conspiring to commit subversion. They were Samson Baffour Awuah, John Osei Poku, and Lieutenant Augusuts Owusa Gyumah, and a schoolboy Kofi Owusa was sentenced to 25 years for not reporting the plot. The NLC imprisoned over 200 soldiers and five senior officers after the 17th April action. The NLC held a press conference on 22nd February 1967, and stated “the public is called upon to be vigilant and to look out for the remaining terrorists who are still at large. A bomb is not selective. It is as much for you as for me.” Nkrumah cited an admission of widespread opposition, which appeared in the Ghanaian Times in an editorial titled, “This Minority is Dangerous,” which expresses the serious view of this “minority” taken by the “N.L.C.” It states, “That small minority is the most influential, the most silent but, paradoxically, the most articulate, the most resourceful and the most strategically placed group in the community...it has devilish machinery of mass propaganda and mass persuasion. It is small but it is strong…one thing we must never forget is that the banned C.P.P. had the most efficient organization this country has ever known. They had the most fanatical functionaries and activists it had been our misfortune to harbor in the political system of our nation…SMALL MINORITY indeed! We venture to say that small minority is dangerous.” (see Dark Days in Ghana, Chapter 7, The Awakening) If there was no response why did the NLC impose decrees such as State Security Decree NLCD 119, which states, no person in Ghana shall communicate with Kwame Nkrumah... and that any person who receives communication from Kwame Nkrumah must report to the nearest police station or the commanding officer in charge of the nearest establishment of the Ghana Armed Forces What about the Armed Forces Act Amendment Decree NLCD 178 which makes the organization of a general strike a capital offense with a minimum sentence of 25 years hard labor and a maximum sentence of death, along with the criminalizing acts of subversion to mean anything directed against the NLC and neo-colonialism. What about the Prohibition of Rumours Decree NLCD 92, which made it a crime to communicate in any way which may, cause disaffection against the National Liberation Council. It is clear that the masses of Ghanaians were responding to Kwame Nkrumahs calls for resistance from the Voice of the Revolution to oppose the national crime committed against Ghana by the CIA sponsored NLC. It must be also mentioned that Ghana had the highest standard of living in Africa under Kwame Nkrumah and the CPP government, and the charge of economic mismanagement is the Big Lie of the CIA sponsored NLC which Kwame Nkrumah contributes a whole chapter to in his book Dark Days in Ghana; Chapter 5, The Big Lie. Ghana had the highest literacy rate in Africa, with free education and free health care for all the citizens. This lie orchestrated by the criminal and murderous NLC with their NLCD 154 Kwame Nkrumah Properties Decree is imposed onto the 1992 constitution as part of the laws of Ghana by the P/NDC. Today is the day Kwame Nkrumah passed on to the ancestors, and we must scrutinize information about him very carefully, without allowing the enemies of Africa space to undermine his ideology, Nkrumahism, nor his vision for a Unified Socialist Africa. It was the success of Kwame Nkrumah and the CPP against US led neo-colonialism and the indigenous bourgeoisie that caused the CIA sponsored NLC to act, not any faults on the part of Kwame Nkrumah and the CPP. Ghana was to develop nuclear energy by 1966 through the Ghana Nuclear Reactor Project (GNRP) and the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC), but the idiots of the NLC gave the nuclear reactor to the CIA and today we are faced with major energy shortages and power outages ie. “light off”. Ghana was training freedom fighters to liberate the whole of Africa and to wipe out settler colonialism with the Bureau of African Affairs and African Affairs Centre [eg. Rhodesia, South Africa, Namibia, Congo], but the idiots of the NLC arrested the freedom fighters, abused them, and paraded them before the imperialist media. Kwame Nkrumah wrote 15 books with a philosophy, Philosophical Consciencism, ideology, Nkrumahism, (outlined in his book Consciencism: Philosophy and Ideology for Decolonization) and plans for the African revolution, such as his book, Handbook of Revolutionary Warfare, but the idiots of the NLC destroyed his manuscripts, gave them to the CIA, arrested anyone caught in possession of Kwame Nkrumah’s books, and organized public book burnings of Kwame Nkrumahs books before the imperialist media. Keep in mind that the members of the NLC combined did not have a University degree; even a Senior High School Certificate. What happened in Ghana is similar in nature to the events in Guinea in 1984, and in Libya in 2011, they were an application of the machinations of neo-colonialism, to thwart the African revolution, through the alliance between US/EU neo-colonialism in league with the officers faction of the indigenous bourgeoisie in the cases of Ghana (Chairman J.A. Ankrah Lt. General, army, Vice Chairman J.W.K. Harlley Commissioner of Police) and Guinea (Lasona Conte, Captain, army, and member of National Assembly), and in Libya in alliance with CIA trained Al Qaeda terrorist (Abdul Hakim Belhadj, terrorist, Al Qaeda and Libyan Islamic Fighting Group) along with officers and civil servants (Abdel Fattah Younes, Major General and Minister of Interior) and (Musa Kusa, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Head of Intelligence) . We must analyze these developments properly so as to defeat these forces of neo-colonialism today. They continuously attempt to blame Kwame Nkrumah for the CIA sponsored counter-revolutionary rebellion of the NLC, by claiming that Nkrumah wasnt realistic, Nkrumah was authoritarian, Nkrumah didnt do this or that. What about the role of the ENEMY??? Who was the enemy, and who is the enemy, and what was Kwame Nkrumah doing against their interest. We are clear that the enemy is imperialism, and its current form is neo-colonialism, which is an alliance between the US/EU capitalist class and the indigenous African bourgeoisie. That bourgeoisie was being strangled by the 1960 socialist constitution of the Republic of Ghana and the socialist policies of the Convention Peoples Party. The 7 Year Development Plan of the CPP had the purpose of developing Ghana into a Socialist Society. The private sector was the smallest in the CPP economy under Kwame Nkrumah and the public and co-operative sectors were dominant over the economy. The Ghanaian masses controlled over 65% of the national wealth and this was to increase as the plan progressed. The result was going to be a dramatic decrease in control on the part of the foreign capitalist private sector over the resources and economy of Ghana. After the counter revolutionary rebellion, up to today, the neo-colonialist have controlled Ghanas economy and resources. That is what the whole illegal overthrow was and is about; the purpose for it. By incorrectly blaming Kwame Nkrumah and the CPP for the illegal overthrow, dismissing, dissolving, banning, capture and murder of themselves, we are deceptively taking the eyes of the people away from their real class enemy, the indigenous bourgeoisie, which is currently in the political form of the National Democratic Congress and the New Patriotic Party. Both of these parties agree with the CIA sponsored NLC illegal overthrow of Kwame Nkrumah and the CPP and have indemnified it constitutionally. The evidence is the PNDC Indemnification Clause in the 1992 constitution which was decreed by PNDCL 282, Promulgation Decree, written by a Consultative Assembly appointed by the PNDC by PNDCL 253 Consultative Assembly Decree, in which a Committee of Experts was appointed by the PNDC to propose the constitution to the Assembly to be presented to the PNDC, and with the Chairman of the PNDC signing the 1992 constitution as Chairman of the PNDC. This Indemnity makes is illegal for any court in Ghana to entertain any case against anyone responsible for the illegal overthrow and treason against Kwame Nkrumah, the CPP as the elected government of Ghana, and the Ghanaian state. The suspension and abrogation of the 1960 Constitution by NLC Proclamation and NLCD 380. The establishment of the NLC as the “assumed” government of Ghana by their “Proclamation for the Constitution of a National Liberation Council for the Administration of Ghana and for Other Matters Connected Therewith”, which is a document of treason. They converted the NLC decrees onto the Laws of Ghana in the constitution, particularly decrees which attack the personality of Kwame Nkrumah and vilify him and the CPP such as NLCD 119, State Security Decree, NLCD 154, Kwame Nkrumah Properties Decree, NLCD 332, Elections and Public Offices Disqualification Decree, NLCD 23 Forfeiture of Assets Decree, and NLCD 339, Kotoka Trust Decree. All this is clear evidence that the P/NDC supports the NLC and Kotoka againt the CPP and Kwame Nkrumah. This is further illustrated by the vilification of Kwame Nkrumah in Junior High School Social Studies and Senior High School Government text book and on national Basic Education Certificate Examination for JHS and West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination for SHS. In these text books under the Ghana Ministry of Education they attempt to justify Kwame Nkrumah and the CPP overthrow with false and unsubstantiated allegations of “dictatorship,” “economic mismanagement,” “one-party state,” and “Preventative Detention Act.” The P/NDC does this because their founder, Flt. Lt. Jerry John Rawlings, is the nephew of J.W.K. Harlley of the NLC and his Hero is E.K. Kotoka of the NLC, and he joined the NLC in 1967 after leaving school with an Ordinary Level Certificate. The Indemnity Clause in the 1992 Constitution and the NLC decrees which the 1992 Constitution imposes as part of the Laws of Ghana are the legal basis for the vilification of Kwame Nkrumah and the CPP in national text books and examinations. They serve to legally justify the printing, publishing, and setting up of such material for the masses of Ghanaian students. These books never reveal their sources of information when vilifying Kwame Nkrumah and the CPP, but they are always present, and never removed from the official and formal education process in Ghana. They clearly originate from the CIA sponsored NLC, which Nkrumah properly named the “National Liars Council”, and are justified by the Indemnity Clause and NLC decrees against Kwame Nkrumah and the Convention People’s Party. Today it is mainly the force of the P/NDC which maintains these lies, vilification, and slander against our nations Founder, Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah, while at the same time praising criminal colonial Governors like Gordon Guggesburg and Alan Burns and praising the criminal system of colonialism (benefits and positive effects of colonialism), in our national education system. These facts ad the psychological disorder of adherence to white supremacy with an inferiority complex, as part of the characteristics of the P/NDC and NPP. The NPP was denied national political leadership in Ghana by the voting population from 1951-1966. In 1951, the CPP won 34 out of 38 seats in the Legislative Assembly elections but the United Gold Coast Convention [NPP] only won 2 seats. In 1954 the CPP won 71 out of 104 seats in the Legislative Assembly elections but the Ghana Congress Party [NPP] only won 1 seat. In 1956 the CPP won 71 out of 104 seats in the Legislative Assembly elections but the National Liberation Movement only won 12 seats. In 1960 the CPP defeated the United Party [NPP] in an election for a Constituent Assembly to draft the 1960 Constitution and also in the National Plebiscite to enact and make it operational with a yes vote of 88.47% for the CPP and a no vote of 11.53% for the UP [NPP]. In the same 1960 election Kwame Nkrumah defeated the UP [NPP] candidate Joseph Boakye Danquah with 89.07% of the votes for Kwame Nkrumah and 10.93% of the votes for Danquah. In 1964 the CPP defeated the UP [NPP] opposition in a national referendum with 99.91% yes for a one-party state with the CPP as the National Party of Ghana, with the UP [NPP] only obtaining .09% of the votes against a one-party state. The UP leader, JB Danquah, opposed independence from British imperialism and his organization was always elitist and pro-capitalism and pro-white supremacy. The Ghanaian masses never accepted their reactionary ideas. Because of their rejection by the electorate, they resorted to terrorism and collaboration with the CIA, who shared their opposition to Kwame Nkrumah and the CPP Pan-Africanist and Socialist policies. They aligned with the NLC and Edward Akuffo Addo and Kofi Abrefa Busia joined the Political Committee of the NLC through NLCD 59 Political Committee Appointment Decree. What they were denied by the Ghanaian voters was given to them by the CIA and the NLC; national political authority. The NLC installed them onto the positions of President and Prime Minister under a Presidential Commission Chaired by A.A. Afrifa, the Chair of the NLC in 1969, who “decided the functions of the President” under the 1969 constitution. The PP [NPP] leadership ignored the fact that the NLC appointed the Constituent Assembly with NLCD 380 Constituent Assembly Amendment Decree, rather than to have the Constituent Assembly elected, as was their recommendation from the Constitutional Commission, Chaired by Akuffo Addo, which called for the election of a constituent assembly, to be the “people’s representative body in a truly democratic sense.” This didn’t happen and the Constituent Assembly was appointed by the NLC. The PP agreed to this and Busia was appointed to the NLC Constituent Assembly to infuse the PP [NPP] interest into a constitution dominated by the officer’s factions of the indigenous bourgeoisie with an overriding military dictatorship. This is true, especially with the precedent of indemnifying illegal military assumption of political power. The PP national assembly enacted Act 380 which made it illegal to possess a photo, book, or anything related to Kwame Nkrumah and the CPP. They undermined Pan-Africanism with the Aliens Compliance Act, and followed to IMF to freeze workers salaries, while devaluating the national currency, the Ghana Cedi. The NPP erected a statue of Obetsebi Lamptey, the terrorist who was convicted in a competent court of law, and also a statue of J.B. Danquah who was arrested for treason and named by the son of the former US Ambassador as being on the payroll of the CIA in his book “JFK Ordeal in Africa” by Richard Mahoney. The NPP submits to the officer’s faction (military and police officers) of the indigenous bourgeoisie because of their adherence to neo-colonialism, the constitutional and legal upper hand of the officers faction from the time of 24th February, the threat of force of the officers faction, and the opportunity to attain political authority, wealth and privilege with the officers faction being dominant over them. They are traditionally from the professional, intellectual, and top bureaucratic factions of the indigenous bourgeoisie [lawyers, judges, top civil servants, professionals, royals, and intellectuals]. The P/NDC and NPP both have made a pronounced role of the private sector a directive principle of state constitutionally. They both have imposed the previously mentioned NLC decrees against Kwame Nkrumah and the CPP onto the 1992 constitution, having the force of law. They are reactionaries and counter-revolutionaries, who pretend to admire Kwame Nkrumah, while at the same time constitutionally, legally, and academically [in national text books and examinations], vilifying Kwame Nkrumah, with their main line of propaganda being that Nkrumah and the CPP is responsible for their own overthrow with either tyranny or being unrealistic. This is nothing but the CIA propaganda of the NLC being expressed today. Kwame Nkrumahs CPP government was the most democratic in the history of Ghana but the NDC and NPP rule is based on CIA sponsored military dictatorship; the evidence is the basis for their constitutions being military decrees, the bodies who drafted them being appointed by military dictatorships, and their constitutions being signed by military dictators with no mandate, always promoting the interest of the US/EU capitalist private sector as dominant over the Ghanaian national interest economically. This is in contrast to the constitution during the time of Kwame Nkrumah and the CPP government being drafted by an elected Constituent Assembly and voted into power by a national plebiscite making socialism dominant over the economy and resources to make the Ghanaian national interest dominant and opposed to neo-colonialism. Today the foreign capitalist class takes over 90% of Ghanas gold, diamonds, oil, and other national resources, under the political control of the dominant officers faction of the indigenous bourgeoisie; this class has constitutional impunity with every illegal overthrow of an elected government by this class being constitutionally indemnified [National Liberation Council, Supreme Military Council, National Redemption Council, Armed Forces Revolutionary Council, Provisional National Defense Council]. This is a threat, based on constitutional precedent, to any government which would try to oppose neo-colonialism against the interest of this reactionary and counter-revolutionary class. We can smell the NLC propaganda from kilometers away, and some of it is infused into this so-called biography. In closing we must point out that this ‘biography’ is posted on the “Kwame Nkrumah infobank” website with its copyright under the Kwame Nkrumah Centenary Planning Committee (KNCPC). When searching for the so-called “Publisher” of the biography, “Africa Books Limited” there is no information forthcoming. I may possibly be a fictitious entity to avoid taking claim to the false negative information against the Great Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah. The KNCPC was set up by the Government of Ghana, under the P/NDC ruling Party and it was launched by the Vice-President, Mr. John Mahama, on 2nd June 2009, during the Presidency of John Evans Atta Mills. The Chairman of this Committee was Professor Akilagpa Sawyerr, a former Vice Chancellor of the University of Ghana, who had just been appointed on the Council of State two months before the launching of the Committee, on 10 March 2009, by then President Mills. According to the Daily Guide newspaper, Chairman Sawyer hinted around 19 May, 2010, that the Committee would receive 4 million Ghana Cedis from the P/NDC government. On 19 February 2013, the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation reported that the Kwame Nkrumah Centenary Planning Committee met with President John Dramani Mahama at the Flagstaff House and “announced that the Committee is working on a fully integrated website which will serve as an information bank and archive on anything Nkrumah.” The report continued that, “President Mahama thanked the Committee for the diligent work done and commended them for organising the celebration below budget. He also praised them for presenting a well prepared and audited account for every cent spent on the celebration. President Mahama welcomed the idea of an information bank, informing the Committee that he has a full collection of Dr. Nkrumahs works.” This infobank even has the audacity to publish the discredited article of Dr. Raymond Osei, titled “Revisiting Nkrumah’s Political Agenda” in which he falsely claims that “Kwame Nkrumah’s Programme was Unsuccessful” and his preposterous allegation that “Nkrumah’s socialist experiment in Ghana failed.” We can see the NLC disguised as honoring Kwame Nkrumah while murdering his legacy in the same way E.K. Kotoka murdered Major General Barwah, Army Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Defense Staff, in front of his wife and children along with 7 security officers stationed at his house, then later the same Kotaka and the NLC gave General Barwah and the security officers a military burial a few days later. This is the Kweku Ananse hypocrisy of the NLC and their successors. We see the link between the NLC, the NLC “Proclamation”, the NLC decrees, the 1969 constitution indemnity clause, the NPP, the P/NDC, the 1992 constitution indemnity clause, the Centenary Committee, the Infobank, the Africa Books Limited ‘biography,’ and the Kwame Nkrumah Centenary Planning Committee. The synthesis is to pretend to honor Kwame Nkrumah while at the same time maintaining the counter-revolutionary construct designed by the CIA and NLC constitutionally and legally against Kwame Nkrumah and the Convention People’s Party in order to maintain the officers faction of the indigenous bourgeoisie in power under the US/EU capitalist class through neo-colonialism and at the same time to repress Nkrumahism ideologically along with socialism, while preventing the CPP from developing along Nkrumahist lines as a real threat to the NDC and NPP political dominance over the Ghanaian state. Nkrumahist must fight to “TAKE NKRUMAH BACK” from the modern day NLC, which is the P/NDC and the NPP. This can be done by smashing the Indemnity Clause in the 1992 Constitution and Legalizing Kwame Nkrumah Constitutionally and the CPP as the legally elected Constitutional President and government of Ghana from 1960 up to its illegal overthrow by the high treason of the National Liberation Council. Is the Kwame Nkrumah Centenary Committee a front for the NDC to suppress Nkrumahism, Pan-Africanism, Socialism, and the Convention People’s Party? Akili M. Secka Organizer for the Pan African Improvement Organization Quotation from the ‘Biography’ of Kwame Nkrumah by Africa Books Limited - which is located on the Kwame Nkrumah infobank of the Kwame Nkrumah Centenary Committee, which was set up by the National Democratic Congress government “The anti-CPP opposition remained, though it was wholly undergrounded after the creation of a one party state in 1964. In 1961 there were bomb outrages and in 1962 there was an attempt on Dr Nkrumah’s life; another attempt followed early in 1964. The CPP itself did not generally follow Nkrumah’s ideals, many of its leaders being out to enrich themselves despite the action Nkrumah took in 191—with a Dawn Broadcast and some sacking — against such activity. The CPP’s rule became authoritarian and corrupt in a way which was certainly beyond in way which was certainly beyond its leader’s control, though he probably contributed to the worsening situation through weaknesses — such as suspicion, and being easily impressed and flattered — which were exploited by unscrupulous colleagues and supporters. In February 1966, soon after inaugurating the Volta Dam, Kwame Nkrumah left on a peace mission to end the Vietnam War, accompanied by senior members of his Government. On 24 February 1966, in his absence, he was overthrown by a military coup. A junta of army and police officers, the National Liberation Council (NLC), took over power and the CPP, cut off by now from the ordinary people who suffered from an increasingly bad economic situation, collapsed utterly. Kwame Nkrumah went to Guinea, he was welcomed and, for a time, entitled co-president to Sekou Toure (q.v.). For a few months Dr N krumah broadcast to Ghanaians calling on them to overthrow the NLC. There was no immediate response, but after a few years Ghanaians began to think better of the founder-President whose fall they had initially celebrated.”
