In 1960, newly independent African leaders had a choice: capitalism or socialism.

Almost all of them picked socialism.

A Ghanaian economist named George Ayittey spent forty years documenting what happened next.

His findings are in print, and almost nobody outside Africa wants to hear them. 🧵

@MagneBjella Problemet er at mens vi bruker ressursene våre på å redusere CO2 utslipp fortsetter resten av verden å øke sine. Så da kan vi velge om vi vil bruke ressursene våre på å fortsette å redusere eller å bruke dem på å forberede oss på et varmere klima som uansett kommer

@OleAsbjoernNess Takk, jeg har savnet at noen poster dette bildet av 1 time med mye vind og sol i Tyskland og prisen der er lavere enn i Norge.

@LukeGromen @Brad_Setser @shehzadhqazi The 1760 silver analog doesn't bode well does it, as Britain and Europe was not so keen on seeing all their silver going to China. Arguing that China imports gold and therefore everything is fine doesn't really work.

Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.

Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse.

It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.

@Edge_z @EuroDale Ja brukte ordet skyld pga plassmangel, årsakssammenheng er et mye bedre ord, helt enig

I verified this and it’s true

“Germany can no longer raise an army, simply because of how many Muslims are now German citizens”

“Now, allegedly, and I will say allegedly here, Germany's Chancellor Friedrich Merz has privately admitted that he's worried about the country's ability to raise an army, simply because Germany doesn't want to put weapons in the hands of hundreds of thousands of Muslim Germans.

And he'd be right in worrying, because a recent study of young Muslim Germans showed that nearly half expressed latent Islamist attitudes, which are, you know, the kind of attitudes that turn Muslims into terrorists, and more than half said that their religious commandments were more important to them than even German democracy.

And if you ask me, these don't sound like the attitudes of Germans. These sound like the attitudes of Germany's enemies”

Let’s get into the facts

A 2025–2026 German government-backed study by MOTRA, Radicalization Monitoring System, involving the Federal Criminal Police Office, found that 45.1% of Muslims under 40 in Germany hold either “manifest” (11.5%) or “latent” (33.6%) Islamist attitudes.

This includes preferences for Sharia over the constitution, antisemitic views, and Islamist leanings

Tucker Carlson also reported on this

When you have a significant population of Muslims who hold a pro-Sharia Law mindset, you can’t trust them in your military

@Edge_z @EuroDale Er logikken:Høyre advarer mot innvandring pga faren for etnisk vold, venstresiden vil fortsatt ha innvandring og må ta ansvar for den etniske volden = Venstre advarer mot politivold mot minoriteter mens Høyre støtter politivold mot minoriteter og må ta ansvar for BLM volden?

Here’s how Polish fans celebrate their club’s victory.

Before leaving the square, they cleaned up after themselves. No one was beaten up or raped.

@sjakhaaheim Vi kan alltids legge større begrensninger på disponering av vannet, men det kommer til å koste i form av høyere priser og mindre inntekter, og er risiko for krig i Norge stor nå? Fyllingsgraden er ikke så lav nå, men kombinert med snø er vi i nærheten av tidligere lave nivåer.

@mpenergi Du kritiserte nettopp Statkraft for å investere i mer effekt, og nå kritiserer du dem for å svekke effektbalansen. Hva mener du egentlig Statkraft bør gjøre?

[anders bråten @ABrten]

@mpenergi Å ha mer installert effekt fra vannkraften må vel alt annet likt gi mer stabile priser? De vil kunne produsere mer på de høye prisene og mindre på de lavere prisene.

On This Day — May 18, 2014

A Palestinian professor, Dr. Mohammed Dajani, was forced to resign after weeks of vicious threats, smears, and campus incitement — all because he led 27 Palestinian students to visit Auschwitz-Birkenau, guided by Jewish Holocaust survivors.

They studied the systematic murder of six million Jews. In return, his own university caved: faculty called him a traitor and “normalizer,” students protested with signs branding him a collaborator, the staff union expelled him, and the administration quietly accepted his resignation rather than defend academic freedom.

Just months later, in January 2015, Dajani’s car was torched in a sophisticated arson attack outside his home. Perpetrators had pre-placed chemicals in the engine days earlier specifically to make it explode while driving — an attempt so dangerous it nearly killed him on the road from the airport.

The message was crystal clear: there is no place in Palestinian society for acknowledging Jewish suffering, learning real history, or building any bridge of understanding.

Dajani had co-written a 2011 New York Times op-ed arguing that teaching Palestinians about the Holocaust would make peace more attainable — by rejecting false equivalences with the “Nakba” and fostering basic human empathy. He believed knowledge could humanize the other side.

Palestinian society answered with pure fury. An article about the trip was pulled after online outrage. Dajani, a former Fatah fighter, was branded a traitor for doing the unthinkable: exposing young Palestinians to the truth.

This is the core problem with Palestinian society: genuine efforts at reconciliation, Holocaust education, or simple historical honesty are treated as betrayal and treason.

Bridges are not wanted. Dialogue is not wanted. Learning the “Other’s” pain is not wanted.

They want Israel destroyed — period. That’s why every serious peace offer has been rejected, why “normalization” is a dirty word punishable by social death (or worse), and why even a respected university professor trying to tell the truth had to flee his own community.

When your culture punishes the moderates who seek knowledge and coexistence while rewarding the rejectionists and jihadists, the results are predictable: endless conflict, generations raised on hate, and no path forward except through Israeli strength.

Dajani tried. Palestinian society made sure it would never happen again.
