Genetically Modified Ketchup: Heinz Ketchup just got the “Contains Bioengineered Food Ingredients” label.

Your family’s trusted BBQ and burger staple is now officially Frankenstein food.

That’s mostly GMO high fructose corn syrup (92%+ of U.S. corn is bioengineered) + sugars from bioengineered sugarcane and sugar beets that spike blood sugar, fuel inflammation, and mess with hormones & gut health.

Plus a non-disclosed secret proprietary blend of 'natural flavors' that is kept from public knowledge.

You thought you were just squeezing tomatoes… but you’re feeding your kids ultra-processed junk while the brand keeps the same nostalgic red bottle.

Ditch it. Make your own in 5 minutes.

Quick Homemade Ketchup (no HFCS, no GMOs):
• 1 small jar (6 oz) tomato paste
• ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
• 2–3 Tbsp maple syrup or honey (to taste)
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ¼ tsp mustard powder
• Pinch black pepper + optional cayenne

Mix until smooth. Stores in fridge for weeks and tastes way better.

Throw out the Heinz. Make homemade instead.

Taking a healthy fish and drowning it in deep-frying seed oils is a nutritional tragedy.

Fish is prized because it contains high-quality protein and Omega-3 fatty acids,

Omega-3 fatty acids are:

• EPA: Eicosapentaenoic Acid

• DPA: Docosapentaenoic Acid

• DHA: Docosahexaenoic Acid

They support the brain, heart, and blood vessels, and help regulate inflammation.

While growing up, we were told that Luos were brainy, with healthy eyes, because they ate fish from Lake Victoria. This is because of Omega-3 in fresh fish.

So, what happens when the fish is submerged in a pot of hot industrial seed oil?

The fish absorbs the seed oil, which is full of Omega 6 (Linoleic Acid and Gamma-Linoleic Acid).

The higher the temperature and the longer the frying process, the more the nutritional advantage begins to diminish.

The rancid, heat-unstable Omega-6 displaces Omega-3 leaving the fish empty.

The result is a fish that has lost part of what made it special in the first place.

That is why grilled fish, smoked fish, boiled fish, sun-dried fish, or fish cooked gently in a stew often preserve more of its natural nutritional value than deep-fried fish.

Babies, children and teenagers require plenty of Omega-3 from fish and fish broths.

Today, many people consume seed oils through chips, snacks, fast foods, biscuits, pastries, fried foods, and restaurant meals, and are therefore deficient in Omega-3

Food is not just about taste.

It is about what remains after digestion.

A fish that swims in seed oil is no longer the same fish that came out of the lake.

Protect the nutrients by cooking wisely and correctly.

On Hypertension,

Maybe the problem isn’t salt. Maybe it’s what your body is missing.

Everyone keeps shouting, “Reduce your salt!”
But new research just turned that advice on its head.

Yes, sodium can raise blood pressure.
But guess what lowers it even more powerfully?

Potassium.

Here’s what the study found:

— Doubling sodium increased BP by just 2 to 4 mmHg in men

— But doubling potassium lowered BP by 7 to 10 mmHg

— Even with high sodium, potassium still dropped BP by 5 to 7 mmHg

Potassium reversed the damage even in a salty environment.

So while you’re busy skipping salt, your body is screaming for potassium:
— To relax blood vessels
— To support your kidneys
— To regulate your heart
— To help insulin work better
— To pull sodium where it belongs, out

Less than 2% of adults are getting enough potassium.
And it shows in the stroke wards, dialysis clinics, and hypertension charts.

Here’s where to get it:
— Ugu
— Zobo
— Avocados
— Beans
— Garden eggs
— Coconut water (fresh, not bottled)
— Unripe plantain
— Bitterleaf
— Okra

Eat those like your blood pressure depends on it, because it does.

You don’t have a salt problem.
You have a mineral imbalance problem.

Don’t forget to reach out for a well-structured meal plan. Share and tag your friends.

FIFA rejected a jersey recognizing may be the greatest ever win for human liberation. It’s part of a long history of punishing Haiti for its important contribution to advancing equality.

International football federation FIFA recently decided that Haiti’s jersey for the World Cup violated its rules prohibiting political imagery. Named after the elite soldiers of the Haitian Revolution, the Grenadiers’ jersey featured a small image based on the Battle of Vertières, which was the culmination of a 13-year struggle for independence.

The 1791-1804 Haitian Revolution delivered a major blow to slavery, white supremacy and European colonial rule. “Arguably”, notes Peter Hallward, “there is no single event in the whole of modern history whose implications were more threatening to the dominant global order of things.”

Before the 1791 slave revolt the French colony of Saint Domingue was home to 450,000 people in bondage. At its peak in the 1750s the ‘Pearl of the Antilles’ provided as much as 50 per cent  of France’s GNP.

The African masses put a stop to that with a merciless struggle that overcame the most barbaric slave plantation system. The revolt rippled through the region and compelled the post-French Revolution government in Paris to abolish slavery in its Caribbean colonies.

Between 1791 and 1804 ‘Haitians’ would defeat tens of thousands of French, British and Spanish troops (‘Canada’ backed the British and Washington backed France financially), leading to the world’s first and only successful large-scale slave revolution. The first nation of free people in the Americas, Haiti established a slave-free state 27 years before human bondage was abolished in today’s Canada and 58 years before the USA’s emancipation proclamation (it wasn’t until after this proclamation ending slavery that the US recognized Haiti’s independence.)

The Haitian Revolution’s geopolitical effects were immense. It stimulated the Louisiana Purchase and London’s 1807 Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade. The revolutionary state also provided important support to South American independence movements.

After winning their liberation from slavery and colonial rule in a war that killed half the population, Haitians were forced to pay their former slave masters an astronomical sum for their freedom. In a remarkable act of imperial humiliation, two decades after independence Haiti began paying France a huge indemnity for lost property, which was the now free Haitians. Under threat of invasion and the restoration of slavery, Francophile Haitian president Jean-Pierre Boyer agreed to pay French slaveholders 150 million francs. It took Haiti 122 years to pay the ransom.

In the lead-up to the 200-year anniversary of the Battle of Vertière and country’s independence, the Haitian government instigated a commission to estimate the cost of the ransom, which they put conservatively at $21 billion. The Jean-Bertrand Aristide government called for its restitution and instigated legal proceedings to force Paris to pay. The demand was part of why France (along with Canada and the US) helped overthrow Aristide in 2004 and the coup government dropped the issue.

A country born in the only ever successful large scale slave revolt should be allowed to mark a struggle that greatly advanced human equality on its football jersey. FIFA demanding the Grenadiers expunge its commemoration of the Battle of Vertières is odious.

Let’s hope the Haitian team responds with a successful tournament.

Empires in decline tend to drop the mask, not because they become more honest, but because maintaining the mask requires resources, coordination, and a functional ruling class capable of sustained strategic thought.

Late-stage empires get cruder.

Not more evil. Cruder.

Less able to sustain the complexity of the justificatory architecture.

Less able to recruit the talented people needed to build and maintain it.

Less able to coordinate the allies needed to give it international legitimacy.

Trump is not the cause of that crudeness.

He is its symptom and its accelerant.

The empire was already losing the capacity to sustain the mask when he arrived.

He simply has no interest in trying.

What you are watching is not a uniquely dangerous man seizing control of a healthy institution.

You are watching a hollowed institution find the leader it deserved.

The man and the moment are perfectly matched.

That is what makes it, in the most grim possible sense, historically coherent.

HOW THE WEST PUNISHED ZIMBABWE FOR TAKING BACK STOLEN LAND

In an explosive interview, former pastor and Pan-Africanist Joshua Maponga broke down how the West economically strangled Zimbabwe after the nation reclaimed its stolen indigenous lands.

Zimbabwe’s independence was shaped by the 1979 Lancaster House Agreement, under which Britain was expected to fund the redistribution of land from white settlers to the country’s indigenous Black population.

But the former coloniser reneged on this promise in the 1990s, forcing President Robert Mugabe’s government to take the repossession of white-owned farms into the hands of the state and return land to Zimbabwe’s indigenous Black population.

As noted by the interviewer, Sovereign Media's Ahmed Kaballo, Western-dominated economic institutions sanctioned Zimbabwe “to the hilt,” with Maponga adding that investment in Zimbabwe “remains the big red flag.”

Maponga also confronted the deep-seated colonial trope used to justify the theft of African resources.

“The propaganda says, when a Black man takes the land away, he does not know how to use it,” he said.

Highlighting how Western media systematically attributes agricultural success exclusively to white ownership, Maponga added:

“The only time the land is useful, it is when it’s in the hands of the white people.”

And as Zimbabwe continues to be punished for daring to defy Western hegemony and reclaim its sovereignty, Maponga called for the dismantling of the myth that Africans are incapable of managing their own wealth.

Yo I’m so glad I asked that Maurice Bishop question.💆🏾‍♀️ People often think Caribbean tourism is just about leisure, but entire neoliberal development models were imposed on small island nations to accommodate it. A 1979 State Dept memo worried that Grenada’s revolution would “scare off tourists.”

Bishop, meanwhile advanced an alternative vision of tourism rooted in sovereignty, where Caribbean nations control and benefit from their own natural assets rather than serving as playgrounds for foreign capital. Yet Bishop is rarely cited as a theorist in critical tourism studies.

That’s 1 issue Gabriel Rockhill raises: revolutionary leaders from the South are often treated as political actors to be studied (if that), but almost never as theorists to be read/engaged. The academy readily imports theory from the metropole while ignoring intellectual production emerging from anti-imperialist struggle.

New video explaining how capitalism is maintained through imperialism and the theft of resources from third world countries.

This is why the U.S. is always at war and has over 800 military bases worldwide to ensure corporations can keep extracting resources from these countries.

US-Funded "Lobito Corridor" Is A Tool To Cheaply Extract Africa’s Resources – David Hundeyin

On June 3, 2026, The Spearhead premiered its debut documentary, ‘What Happened On October 29?’, at the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, a documentary which challenges the Western narrative about the violent, anti-government protests that rocked Tanzania in October 2025, offering an African-centered perspective on these “protests”, and exposing the nefarious, external forces behind them. This East African premiere came 8 days after the documentary’s West African premiere, which was held in Accra, Ghana.

In this excerpt from a panel discussion held immediately after the Dar es Salaam screening, Nigerian investigative journalist and founder of The Spearhead, @DavidHundeyin, sheds light on the infamous, US-funded “Lobito Corridor” railway project, how this project exists only to perpetuate the West’s plundering of Africa, and how the continent’s more equitable partnerships with China threaten the very premise of this project.

A primary reason for the US Revolution was that colonists wanted to steal land in the West but were banned by the Crown (imagine making the British Empire look tempered).

It wasn't just some rosy fight for civil liberties. Fundamentally, the US is a settler-colony like Israel.

Fasting For 16 Hours A Day Triggers Cellular Autophagy—The Body's Process of Eating Its Own Dead Cells.

In 2016, a Japanese cell biologist won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for discovering the mechanism of autophagy.

He proved that when the human body goes without food for 16 to 18 hours, it runs out of easy energy. To survive, it begins hunting for fuel inside the body. It targets damaged cells, misfolded proteins, and senescent "zombie" cells that cause aging and inflammation.

It literally eats the disease to keep you alive.

The pharmaceutical industry cannot patent fasting. They cannot sell you a pill that replicates autophagy. So they tell you to eat six small meals a day to "keep your metabolism up."

Eating constantly keeps your body in storage mode. Fasting puts your body in repair mode.

When Europeans steal a country they name themselves after it.

Israelis claim to be "Semites" despite being European

Colonists claim they're "Americans" while reducing real Americans to "Indians"

Boers claim they're "Afrikaners"

Identity theft is a huge part of colonialism.
