History
In 1996, three men with a capacity for vision joined forces to fill a particular set of needs faced by enterprising firms and emerging markets in Africa and the Caribbean. Businesses and governments recognized the untapped opportunities before them. But they lacked expert advisory services necessary for accelerating successful relationships and initiatives. Andrew Young, Carl Masters and Hamilton Jordan formed GoodWorks International, LLC to fill this void. The three are well equipped for the task. Their combined experience in international business, finance and politics--as well as strong contacts and relationships in the US, Africa and the Caribbean-have helped to turn theoretical possibilities into promising commercial ventures.

Hivi, was it important for the president to go to the US to attend a fund raising dinner? Who is paying the expenses?

Ambassador Andrew Young serves as member of the Board of Directors of numerous businesses and organizations, including Archer Daniels Midland, Atlanta Market Center, Cox Communications, Delta Airlines, Film Fabricators, and Thomas Nelson Publishing. He serves on the Advisory Board of Argus Newspapers, Barrick Gold, The Martin Luther King Center for Nonviolent Social Change and The United Nations Foundation.

Barrick Gold is one of the client companies of Andrew Young’s Goodworks International lobbying firm. Andrew Young is the former Mayor of Atlanta, and a key organizer of the U.S.-Uganda Friendship Council. Young was chosen by President Clinton to chair the Southern Africa Enterprise Development Fund in October 1994. Goodworks’ clients—or business partners in some cases—include Coke, Chevron-Texaco, Monsanto, and the governments of Angola and Nigeria (note weapons transfers from Nigeria cited below). Young is a director of Cox Communications and Archers Daniels Midland—the “supermarket to the world” and National Public Radio sponsor whose directors include Brian Mulroney (Barrick) and G. Allen Andreas, a member of the European Advisory Board of The Carlyle Group.

Barrick Gold’s mining partners have included Adastra Mining—formerly named America Mineral Fields (AMFI, AMX, other names), formerly based in Hope, Arkansas, Bill Clinton’s hometown. Adastra had close ties with Lazare Kaplan International Inc., the largest diamond brokerage firm in the U.S., whose president, Maurice Tempelsman, has been an advisor on African Affairs to the U.S. Government and has been the U.S. Honorary Consul General of the Congo since 1977 (8).

One Atlanta native who has been paying close attention to Young is Cynthia McKinney, the former congresswoman from Georgia. "This is not the first time that Andy Young has associated with people of dubious repute," McKinney told the Black Agenda Report. "During the time when I came under severe attack for my September 11 comments, I was investigating allegations that Barrick Gold and its mining operations in Africa had buried 60 African petty gold miners. I had been given a photograph, and I had eyewitness testimony that this had taken place. Unfortunately, Barrick Gold had some of the most notorious people associated with it, and Andy Young was part that cabal. So, the financial arrangement that one enters into ... one has to be careful where you get your paycheck from. And certainly, if you're going to sit on the boards of companies like that, you ought to serve as a conscience, not just as an employee receiving a paycheck."

The Honorable Andrew Young is Chairman of the Leon H. Sullivan Foundation, a non-profit organization established in 2002 to preserve and extend the legacy of Reverend Leon H.

2000 to 2001: President of the National Council of Churches, USA
1997 to present: Chairman and Co-Founding Partner of GoodWorks International
1996: Co-Chair of the Atlanta Committee for the Centennial Olympic Games
1995: Chairman, Southern African Enterprise Development Fund (SAEDF) by appointment from President William Clinton
1982 to 1990: Mayor of the City of Atlanta
1977 to 1979: United States Ambassador to the United Nations
1973 to 1977: Member House of Representatives of the U. S. Congress

In the final days of the first Bush regime, the Interior Department adopted policies that enriched Barrick -- and cost U.S. taxpayers -- "a cool billion or so," according to Palast. In 1995, Barrick hired Bush I as "honorary senior adviser" -- but of course claimed there had been no deal. (When Bush the Younger became president in 2001, one of his first deeds was to dump rules on gold mining waste disposal -- which is likely to cause irreparable environmental harm. One of the biggest beneficiaries is, of course, Barrick.)

Barrick in 1999 acquired another Canadian mining company, Sutton Resources, which was seeking to grab land in Tanzania from small-time prospectors. In his book, Palast reports: "In August 1996, Sutton's bulldozers, backed by military police firing weapons, rolled across the goldfield, smashing down worker housing, crushing their mining equipment. ... About 50 miners were still in their mine shafts, buried alive."

Not good public relations.

Bush left Barrick in 1999 -- it was probably a risky affiliation as his son's campaign ramped up. Replacing Bush was Atlanta's own Andrew Young, who joined another of the city's favorite sons, Vernon Jordan. In an interview, Palast was brutal. "Andy Young is pocketing blood money from African gold." (Young did not return a detailed message asking about his relationship with Barrick.)

McKinney, meanwhile, chaired congressional hearings that had launched a probe of Barrick's activities in the Congo, where the firm was accused of, as Palast says, "stoking the civil war." McKinney was also fighting to protect the life of a whistleblower in the Tanzania episode.
