Declassified: CIA Staged Coup in 1966 Mere Weeks Before Ghana Achieved Artificial General Intelligence

Newly declassified intelligence documents from the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) have revealed that the 1966 overthrow of Ghana’s first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, was not merely a Cold War maneuver or a rejection of Pan-Africanism — but a desperate bid to halt Ghana’s imminent breakthrough in Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), a scientific frontier even today’s superpowers and Silicon Valley big tech are still struggling to master.

The files describe frantic internal memos between the CIA, the US State Department, and the Pentagon, all warning that Nkrumah’s aggressive industrialization programme had produced more than just state farms and shoe factories — it had allegedly spawned a machine-learning prototype called BlackGPT, so named because it was said to be indistinguishable from black magic, but capable of predicting economic trends, calculating infrastructure needs, and even recommending cabinet reshuffles before ministers themselves realized they were corrupt.

According to the documents, US surveillance finally uncovered the clandestine project that birthed BlackGPT, housed within the Ideological Institute at Winneba, and led by a team of Ghanaian scientists and a “consultant” whose identity was redacted (but suspected to be a linguist-turned-spiritualist). This breakthrough, described by the CIA as a “severe threat to global technological balance,” triggered immediate intervention plans, culminating in Nkrumah’s removal.

Observers have questioned why, nearly 60 years after this supposed technological golden age, Ghana’s leaders still romanticize Nkrumah as the sole vessel of progress, as though without him, the nation’s potential evaporated into thin air. Rather than positioning themselves as capable successors, successive governments invoke his name like a protective charm, implying that Nkrumah alone knew the WiFi password to Ghana’s development — and that the rest of us must simply wait for his spirit to email the algorithm for road maintenance in 2025.
