🇧🇫 Burkina Faso: Captain Ibrahim Traoré in a new speech criticizes the misuse of religion.

He urges the youth to not just wait for divine intervention but to use their intelligence but to also work hard for themselves, their families, and their communities.

He emphasizes that being useless to your community makes you an enemy of God.

When Arthur Fraser first exposed the Phala Phala criminality, the so-called journalists from the propagandist media houses tried to discredit him in defence of Ramaphosa.

To this day, the media has not interrogated the criminality Ramaphosa is accused of. Their focus has been primarily on those who stole the illicit funds.

Nonsense24 has a series called “Unmasking Mashatile”, which is a smear campaign against him despite no existence of allegations of criminality on his part. Ramaphosa remains untouched.

The electoral system is a room the system wants you to stay in.

Not because voting is useless. In specific circumstances, at specific moments, electoral politics produces real and meaningful outcomes for real people's lives.

But because as a primary strategy, as the main arena where political energy gets spent, it has a specific and devastating property:

It resets every two to four years.

Every cycle, the energy, the money, the organizing capacity, the public attention gets funneled into a binary choice between two candidates who were filtered before you ever saw them through a process controlled by institutions that have a structural interest in ensuring neither choice threatens the fundamental architecture.

And then it resets.

And the next cycle begins.

And the energy that built up, that might have gone into durable institutions, durable networks, durable local power, that energy was spent.

And it was spent on a choice between two options neither of which represented what the people who worked hardest for them actually needed.

The system wants your political energy in the electoral room.

The question is what you're building in all the other rooms while the election is happening.

The UN General Assembly will vote on Friday on an African initiative (draft resolution) to replace the 16th-century Mercator map projection with the geographically accurate Equal Earth map, following an African Union resolution addressing historical size distortions that shrink Africa.

Car dealer calls ICE on workers after they finish the job—so he won't have to pay them.

Then block their cars so they can't leave.

"He just told me he called ICE because he didn't want to pay us," man says.

"We worked 11 hours and then just when we were done they started with their nonsense."

"He literally told us he doesn't want to pay us."

Incident occurred at the G Motors used-car lot in Tomball, Texas.

The Theatre of Absolution: Wouter Basson, Institutional Capture and the Unfinished Business of South Africa's Transition

[Phumzile Van Damme @zilevandamme]

Another of Project Coast’s crimes, and its mastermind, Wouter Basson. There are so many.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Project Coast used recreational drugs in efforts to fracture families, deepen social decay, chemically pacify rising political rebellion and destabilise communities by flooding Black and Coloured townships with drugs.

It manufactured methaqualone, the active ingredient in Mandrax, in enormous quantities. There was testimony that Basson offered 100 000 Mandrax tablets to a clandestine SANDF operative to sell for R10 a tablet.

There was also testimony from people involved in the drug trade and criminal syndicates that Basson supplied them with drugs to sell for profit.

Nowhere are the consequences more evident than on the Cape Flats, where the state-backed supply chain permanently altered the landscape by helping establish powerful, militarised gang networks that to this day cannot be quashed and continue to terrorise communities.

Forget apartheid? Nidakwe i-mampoer.

History is society’s anchoring point for what needs repair. 30 years is a very short time in history. Apartheid’s victims still live. Its perpetrators still live. Its teachings are now being told to audiences in glittering theatres, gaining new supporters and adherents.

Wouter Basson ought to have been prosecuted when the Constitutional Court found that the lower courts had erred in quashing six of the charges against him and reinstated them, although the people who witnessed these crimes are now in their sunset years or deceased.

The idea that his hands are clean because he was “acquitted”? No.

He was given a free pass by a gun-shy NPA that had botched the initial prosecution.

And so here we are. Here we are today: a depraved apartheid-era monster thrown in our faces.

Let me stop writing here before ngithuke abantu. We go through a lot audacity and entitlement all the time. Amen, hallelujah. UThixo abe nathi.

@nxt888 The West runs on this hypocrisy engine ... moral and popular legitimacy through sophisticated lying.

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

American values, genuinely held, would produce a foreign policy that looks like this:

When a country holds a free election, you recognize the result.

When a country wants to nationalize its own resources, you negotiate.

When a country chooses a political system you disagree with, you compete with it through example.

When a country is suffering, you offer aid without conditions designed to restructure their economy in your favor.

This is not a radical program.

It is the application of the values America claims, self-determination, rule of law, democratic legitimacy, human dignity, to people who are not American citizens.

The fact that this reads as idealistic, even naive, tells you everything about how completely exceptionalism has replaced values in actual practice.

The values were never the policy.

They were the justification for the policy.

There is a difference.

And the people on the receiving end of the policy have always known it.

The identical posts of the heads of State of EU shows one very important thing: there is no more neither democracy nor sovereignty in the West. Zero. The West is ruled by invisible power behind the scene. Directly, brutally, now openly. Was that always the case or something new?

[RootStriker @MuhammedYM5]

@AGDugin Architecture determines outcomes.
The puppet show of public politics was always just that. The merchant class seizing power from the centre and installing money as god. The historical process is over.
