THE BOOK THAT TERRIFIED THE UNITED STATES

Kwame Nkrumah died on this day in 1972. He passed away from prostate cancer while living in exile in Guinea, after being overthrown in a 1966 military coup.

Ghana’s first president had become a major threat to Western interests. Declassified documents show the CIA had foreknowledge of the coup and was supportive of efforts to remove him. For many pan-Africanists, this confirmed what they long argued: Nkrumah’s removal was not simply about internal opposition, but about dismantling a project of genuine African sovereignty that clashed with US strategic interests.

The catalyst was Nkrumah's 1965 book, 'Neo-Colonialism: The Last Stage of Imperialism'—a masterwork that systematically exposed how multinational corporations, financial institutions, and foreign aid programmes kept formerly colonised nations economically dependent even after formal independence. According to a memo from Robert W. Komer, special assistant for National Security Affairs, to President Lyndon B. Johnson, "Nkrumah was doing more to undermine our interests than any other black African," while the new military regime that replaced him was "almost pathetically pro-Western".

As Pan-African author and professor Milton Allimadi discusses in a video analysis, this book terrified Washington because it laid bare what Nkrumah called the "extended tentacles of the Wall Street octopus"—the consortium of mining companies, banks, intelligence agencies, and foreign aid bodies that ensured African "independence" remained a fiction. The CIA's overthrow preparations intensified immediately after the book's publication.

Today, Nkrumah's legacy finds new expression in the Alliance of Sahel States (AES)—the confederation of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger that is once again striking fear into imperialist hearts. The AES has expelled French troops, abandoned the colonial CFA franc, nationalised mining resources, and declared that any attack on one member is an attack on all.

As Nkrumah once warned: "The strength of the imperialist lies in disunity". The AES represents the opposite, and the empire is taking notice.

23 years ago today, American peace activist Rachel Corrie was killed in Rafah, Gaza while trying to stop the demolition of Palestinian homes. She was brutally run over by an Israeli militarized bulldozer. She was 23.

“I wonder if any of the children here have ever existed without the tank-shells and the demolition.” Rachel Corrie said.

Today, much of the city she died to defend has been reduced to rubble.

RIP Rachel, may your memory inspire each of us to nurture the courage to stand in defense of others.

GRAPHIC: CBP officers shoot another person in Minneapolis at point-blank range. Footage obtained exclusively by BT shows federal officers on Nicollet Ave. on top of a man on the ground, before one CBP officer pulls his gun and repeatedly fires. Witnesses say that after the shooting CBP then walked down the block filming bystanders. Nothing else is known at this point about what preceded this, the identity of the man shot, or his current condition. FBI agents and an ambulance are at the scene.

THE U.S. IS NOT IN NIGERIA TO PROTECT BLACK CHRISTIANS .IT IS HERE FOR STRATEGIC DOMINATION.
By Chief Malcolm EmokiniovonOmirhobo .

Let us stop deceiving ourselves.
The United States of America is not interested in the lives of Black Christians in Northern Nigeria. If it were, it would have pressured the Nigerian government to identify, arrest, and prosecute the sponsors, enablers, and financiers of terrorism, not merely drop bombs and walk away.

The real interest of the U.S. is geostrategic control.
Nigeria is being positioned as a military launchpad for Western-backed regime-change operations against Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger—countries rich in gold, uranium, and other strategic minerals now slipping out of Western control.
This has nothing to do with Christianity.

This has nothing to do with humanitarian concern.

This has everything to do with resources, power, and influence.

History is repeating itself.
Africa is once again being dragged into proxy wars that serve foreign interests, while Africans pay the price in blood, instability, and long-term subjugation.

It is tragic and dangerous that President Tinubu, for personal and political gain, is aligning Nigeria with this agenda and aiding the re-colonisation of Africa through military and economic coercion.
When the dust settles, the U.S. will leave just as it left Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya and Nigeria will be left to deal with the blowback: deeper insecurity, ethnic tension, religious polarisation, and a weakened sovereignty.

Nigeria does not need foreign bombs.
Nigeria needs justice, accountability, and the political will to confront terrorism at its roots.

Africa must wake up.
Nigeria must refuse to be used .

🚨🇺🇸🇨🇴 Gustavo Petro Colombian President, to President Trump:

"Come to Colombia, Mr. Trump, I invite you, so you can participate in the destruction of the nine drug labs we destroy daily to prevent cocaine from reaching the US.

Without missiles, I have destroyed 18,400 drug labs during my administration. Come with me, and I'll show you how they're destroyed—one lab every 40 minutes. But don't threaten our sovereignty, because you'll awaken the Jaguar.

Attacking our sovereignty is declaring war. Don't damage two centuries of diplomatic relations. You've already slandered me; don't continue down that path.

If any country has helped stop thousands of tons of cocaine from reaching Americans, it's Colombia,"

"I SUPPORTED ISRAEL FOR 20 YEARS... I GOT IT WRONG."

UK MP Mark Pritchard just did what few in power dare to: He stood up in Parliament and broke the silence.

He condemned Israel's crimes in Gaza and the West Bank. He called on the UK to stop following the U.S. blindly.

And he reminded the world:

"The life of a Palestinian child is as precious as the life of a Jewish child."

This is what moral courage looks like. Now ask yourself - where do you stand?

It is so blatant now.

Yet they still don’t get it.

That even their own racism was created for them by the wealthy to keep them poor.

Will they ever get it?
