From cobalt miners in Africa to black Americans in the “clean energy” industry, the exploitation of black communities and their people remains an integral part of the “green” agenda, especially when you think about it in the context of Harris-Biden Directives and policies on electric vehicles at one point. [emphasis, links added]
Here's a report from Minnesota Public Radio's (MPR) Marketplace reporters Amy Scott and Sean McHenry detailing the current situation:
Black workers are paying the price for cobalt mining
Whether you have a mobile phone or an electric car, the battery inside it is likely to contain cobalt from the Democratic Republic of Congo. In fact, it is estimated that more than 70% of the world's cobalt comes from Congolese mines, but the industry's growth comes at a human cost.
Capital B reporter Adam Mahoney said, “In many ways, the working conditions in these mines are unregulated.” Mahoney said that in order to compete with China's electric vehicle production, the United States has begun to rely on “artisanal” cobalt mines, which are often unregulated. Regulated.
“It's driving hundreds of thousands of Congolese people into these very dangerous tunnels, and thousands of people die every year from tunnel collapse.”
“To compete with China's electric vehicle production…”, The West must rely on what amounts to slave labor.
This could be another very legitimate application of President Trump’s “massacre” electric car soundtrack — as a reminder He's not suggesting political violence, he's suggesting economic collapse When he first commented – as humans, Negroes, of which there were many only childrenis dying Thousands Every year in the mines, forced to work until deathall to enable progressive white Westerners to project false virtues and a false sense of superiority.
Also, have you seen the scenery after the cobalt mine is completed?
Not only are white progressives enslaving and killing black children, men, and women in pursuit of their political goals, but they are also destroying these black communities:
There are 40,000 children working as slaves in a cobalt mine in Congo. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is considered the richest country in the world in terms of natural resource wealth.
Most of the original deposits remain untapped and are worth an estimated $24 trillion. These… pic.twitter.com/cgU9qvQjIR

But of course, the media won't touch that.
To make matters worse, slave labor has come to dominate the global “green” industry. I've written before about the need to use slave labor for solar panels because slavery is China's way of bringing “affordable” products to market. Products purchased by Western progressive countries pursuing the 2030 Agenda and other globalist plans for “net zero” or “clean energy” upheavals.
(The solar panel industry now finds itself among the “top five” industries in developing countries that exploit slave labor.)
MPR's Scott and McHenry also pointed this out:
Black unions and activist groups in the United States have tried to draw attention to the crisis and build solidarity with miners. Mahoney wrote about the effort.
But surprisingly, this means nothing to those in power. The Harris-Biden regime and the entire political ruling class are still moving full steam ahead with their “green” plans.
