À une certaine époque, tous les pays de la CEDEAO, de l'UA, de l'UE, de l'ONU auraient crié à la montée inquiétante de la xénophobie du régime ivoirien.
Ils auraient rappelé pourquoi il est important que la Côte d’Ivoire préserve sa tradition de pays de l'hospitalité.
Certains auraient expliqué que n'eût été les braves et courageux travailleurs venus de la CEDEAO ce pays n'aurait pas été ce qu'il est.
Une partie des ivoiriens serait même allé expliquer au reste du monde que les personnes ainsi traitées "d'étrangers" ne seraient en réalité que des ivoiriens que l'on ostraciserait pour mieux les exclure des bénéfices du travail qu'ils font pour gagner honnêtement leurs pains.
Des résolutions des Nations unies auraient disposé que des lois sur le foncier et l'orpaillage devraient être adoptées dans les meilleurs délais pour reconnaître ces activités jugées illégales et garantir à toutes les personnes concernées les bénéfices de leurs labeurs.
Mais ça c'était à une autre époque.
This system frequently investigates and sentences high-profile personalities engaged in corrupt and criminal activities without discrimination.
But I'm supposed to believe that democracy, which only jails petty criminals but never the heavyweights, is better? 🤡
They are discussing using nuclear weapons on Iran in strategy meetings.
Yes you read that correctly. It’s real. I’m not speculating, I know.
And it’s pure evil.
The last time a nuclear weapon was used was August 6th and 9th of 1945 on two cities in Japan, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, immediately killing 110,000 people, vaporizing people at ground zero, and total deaths reached 214,000 by the end of the year from severe burns and trauma.
But the extreme suffering continued for the Japanese people from radiation sickness, skyrocketing cancer rates, and generational birth defects.
Not to mention wiping out all means of their economy.
And the suffering was so great that all of humanity vowed, “never again.”
Trump and his admin were told by our own intelligence that Iran was no where near creating a nuclear weapon, then Israel said the same line it’s repeated for decades, “Iran is only weeks away.”
So we bombed anyways, killed their leaders and innocent little children in a school, and Iran has controlled the Strait of Hormuz ever since and punished the region for their part in it.
And now our government is the one actually discussing lowering the nuclear threshold in order to use nuclear weapons against Iran even though Trump claims he’s won the war like 40 times and says the U.S. controls the SoH.
Trump promised no more foreign wars, but may actually be the one who delivers a nuclear holocaust that would likely drag the entire world into major conflict, economic depression, and mass human suffering we’ve never seen in our lifetimes and maybe throughout history.
People need to speak out and boldly stop this insanity.
America is not untouchable.
If and when that happens, everyone, and I do mean everyone, will hold ALL of those in leadership right now fully responsible for the rest of human history.
Do not use nuclear weapons and stop this war NOW.
You can buy Elon Musk and X, you can buy Facebook and Instagram, you can buy TikTok and Google, you can buy the media, you can buy politicians and celebrities, but you can't buy the people.
You tried to erase Palestine, but the world has become Palestine.
Thank you Netherlands.
Between 80% and 90% of the victims of ISIS and other terrorist groups operating in the name of Islam are Muslims.
Additionally, the captured ISIS Libya commander, Abu Hafs, was later revealed to be Benjamin Efraim, an Israeli national working within one of Mossad's special units
Son cortège n'est pas exagéré, la dernière fois j'ai vu celui du président du Gabon venu pour l'indépendance franchement j'ai pas compris le pourquoi !
🇷🇺 WATCH: Russian citizens saw police cars and knew Putin's motorcade was coming.
What they didn't realize is that he would stop and get out right in front of them.
He greeted them and spoke with them, even appeared to take a few pictures.
One person even grabbed him by the arm! I wouldn't recommend doing that again... 😂😂

U.S. forces fired ~50 Patriot interceptors in a single day during last month’s Iranian attacks on bases in Jordan — roughly $200M in one day at ~$4M per interceptor.
Iran used course-changing missiles to force heavy expenditure and deplete scarce Patriot stocks.

Plato was right about democracy
And the West doesn't want to learn the lesson
In The Republic, Plato laid out his political theory. He argued that the best form of government wasn't democracy at all... it was aristocracy
Not aristocracy in the sense of inherited titles and lazy nobles living off their ancestors
But rule by the most capable. The philosopher-kings. People who actually knew what they were doing and cared about the outcome
Plato saw democracy as inherently unstable. It eventually devolves into demagoguery, then tyranny. The masses vote for whoever promises them the most, not whoever is best equipped to lead
Sounds familiar? That's exactly what we're seeing right now
Now look at El Salvador 🇸🇻
Bukele took over a country that was literally the murder capital of the world. Gang violence everywhere. People couldn't walk down the street without fear
Democratic institutions had failed for decades. Corruption, incompetence, the same political families rotating power... basically what Plato predicted
What did Bukele do?
He ignored the "proper channels" and got shit done
- Arrested gang members en masse
- Built the largest prison in the Americas
- Didn't ask permission from international bodies or worry about what the UN thought
And the results speak for themselves
El Salvador went from one of the most dangerous countries on Earth to safer than most US cities. Tourism is booming. Investment is flowing in. People can actually live their lives
The population loves him. His approval ratings are through the roof
That's what happens when you have competent leadership that prioritizes results over process
Meanwhile in the West...
We get career politicians who've never built anything in their lives, making decisions based on focus groups and donor interests
Nothing gets done. Infrastructure crumbles. Crime rises. But hey, at least we followed the proper democratic procedures
Plato called this exact outcome 2,400 years ago
I'm not saying democracy has no value. But maybe the obsession with it as the only legitimate form of government makes zero sense
Sometimes you need a leader who can actually execute. Who puts the population's wellbeing above political theater
The West could learn something from El Salvador
But they won't. Because admitting that would mean questioning our entire narrative
Laura is rage-baiting because the war that she and her benefactors advocated for is going terribly.
One of the fundamental reasons the war in Iran is failing is a lack of basic understanding of both the country we started a war with and of the Middle East as a whole.
Loomer displays this lack of understanding/inability to assess the threat environment, and the sad irony here is that because our leaders have listened to rhetoric like hers we’ve now successfully radicalized the Iranians—so not only are we taking our eye off the very legitimate threats still posed by ISIS and Al-Qaeda, we will almost certainly face blowback terrorism as a result of the Iran war here on U.S. soil.
My late wife was killed by an ISIS suicide bomber. At the time of her death, the Iranian-backed Shia militias & the Assad regime were also actively fighting against ISIS. That is a fact.
Iranians have targeted Americans, but only when we intervened in their region. That is not sympathizing with the enemy—that is also, simply, a fact.
In Trump’s first administration, he exercised restraint—conducting a measured and effective retaliatory response via targeted strikes (Solmani), while having the discipline to not take the bait of a full-blown war with Iran, precisely because we knew it would result in the same disastrous outcome we’re dealing with today.
Unfortunately, this time around POTUS opted to listen to the likes of Laura and the Israeli lobby instead of those who actually understand the region & the threat—and now that we are in this mess and public support has cratered, Loomer & her ilk are blindly screaming “Islam!” as a distraction. It’s the same tired Bush-era “with us or with the terrorists” binary that got us twenty years of failure.
The American people deserve better.
🚨 NOW: El Salvadorans are boasting that President Nayib Bukele has turned his once-violent country into the OPPOSITE of EUROPE — instead of rampant gangs and no go zones, the people are safe and THRIVING
-98% in homicides
Incredible what ruling with an iron fist over crime can do! 🇺🇸🇸🇻
Bravo, @NayibBukele! A model for Latin America. EUROPE should take notes!
Every continent before civilization, before every race even met each other, collectively took away women's rights. Chose their arranged marriages for them, restricted their sexuality to virginity until marriage.
There were no Zoom calls. No internet. How did 6 different races on 6 different continents all come to the SAME conclusion about women?
White, Black, Asian, Latino, Indian, Arab - ALL practiced the same thing and you are fucking telling me there isn't a solid reason behind it?
Since women were allowed to choose their own partners, look at the rate of single motherhood? From 5% to 40%+ in one generation.
Since women were allowed to not be virgins, look at the rate of prostitution, OnlyFans, abortion? Millions of abortions a year.
The best generation of kids, the best schools, the safest streets, the strongest society and civilization was when your rights were restricted.
You think your great-great-grandfather was dumb? The man who built a house with no tools, fought lions, survived wars - you think HE was dumb and you are smart because you have TikTok?
They restricted you because they LEARNED. Every man learned that if you give a woman unlimited sexual freedom, society collapses. Family collapses. Kids suffer.
You call it oppression. They called it order. And their order worked for 5000 years.
Your freedom hasn't worked for 50.
