Very true. I am a huge Gold Rush: Alaska (TV show) fan, and they tried a spin off called Jungle Gold, where 2 Americans went to Africa to try and mine gold. Surprisingly, heavily armed Chinese companies are basically stealing gold in Africa. The show only lasted 2 seasons because these guys were going to get killed if they kept trying to mine.

FBIanon said WWIII would be "fought over the African plains." Was that a reference to gold?

Great question and I wondered the same thing myself....gold or oil would be my guess. Oil more likely IMO because of the pipeline stuff George Webb is talking about (need to watch his Youtube if you aren't already). Plus gold seems to usually be more prominent in rivers and streams in proximity to mountains, however; there were some impressive gold finds in the Western US plains back in the day.
