But time don't go back, it goes forward
Can't run from the pain, go towards it
Some things can't be explained, what caused it?
Such a beautiful soul, so pure, shit
Gonna see you again, I'm sure of it
'Til that time, little man, I'm nauseous 💔💔💔
Patrice Motsepe’s leadership of CAF is under growing pressure, with officials from across Africa warning they have lost trust in the president and rivals including Samuel Eto’o positioning themselves potentially to replace him. Story with @Romain_Molina https://t.co/hsEXb3pw8l
Sylvester Stallone says he will only return for Creed IV if a secret mystery person is permanently blacklisted and banned from the franchise
Host: "Do you feel like... I can never watch Creed III kind of thing?"
Sly: "Never. No"
"Michael B. Jordan's a nice guy, the studio's wonderful, but it's been such a real rough emotional ride, that's all"
"If Michael B. Jordan, we come up with a story, I'll do Creed IV with him as long as the other fellow is not involved"
This is not Cape Town in South Africa, Dubai in UAE, or New York in USA .
This is Eko Atlantic in Lagos, Nigeria 🇳🇬, the don of modern cities in Africa.
imagine being so universally reviled that you have to manipulate textbooks, churn out Hollywood productions to brainwash the masses, buy up the airwaves and social media platforms, and alter algorithms to limit the proliferation of the truth and put up smoke screens where you can't stop information.
Then, you weaponize antisemitism to silence decent people, you push to pass laws that punish criticism of you, and you install AI audio surveillance in the tent classrooms of children whose lives you've destroyed in order to prevent your victims from speaking ill of you.
You can have more money than God, space lasers and nukes, booby trapped pagers, and endless blackmail material on leaders, but you can't buy humanity. You can't make the world love you, or even tolerate you. You can't make people unsee or unknow. You can't make demons likable.
The world sees you at last, understands how wicked you've always been, and hates you immeasurably. That isn't going away, and you will feel the sting of that hatred more and more.
I hope it hurts.
Napoleon's invasion of Russia seems like ancient history to most people. 1812. Over 200 years ago. Who cares?
The Rothschilds care. Their family was there. Financing multiple sides. Building the fortune that still exists today.
The Russo-Japanese war? 1904. Also feels distant. Regular people barely remember it happened.
Jacob Schiff remembers. Or rather, his descendants do. He financed Japan's war against Russia. His family still operates in the same banking circles he built.
Here's what regular people don't understand: these families have portraits lining their halls going back centuries. They walk past their ancestors every day. They know exactly what those ancestors did. Which wars they funded. Which governments they influenced. What deals were struck in 1815, 1905, 1945.
You and I don't know what our great-great-grandfather did for a living. Maybe he fought in a war. Maybe he farmed. Records are lost. Names forgotten after a few generations.
These families could tell you what their ancestor ate for lunch in 1823 if they wanted to look it up. Because that record exists. In their archives. In their libraries. In their family histories passed down through generations.
Why does this matter?
Because when you're making decisions today based on investments your family made 150 years ago, history isn't ancient. It's active. It's current. It's still paying dividends.
Those walls weren't built with honest labor. They were built with war profits. Lending to both sides. Financing revolutions. Backing the winner before the battle even started.
Regular people think in terms of their own lifetime. Maybe their parents' lifetime if they're lucky.
These families think in centuries. Plan in generations. Operate on timelines that outlast governments.
That's not conspiracy. That's just how dynastic wealth works. And why thinking 200 years is "too long ago to matter" is exactly what they want you to believe.
Thanks for reading until the end. Share if you liked it.
