I think the target of this article must be Justice Musa Fadala 😄😄

I have fought the neocons and warmongers in Washington for more than 25 years. Throughout, they have tried to silence, discredit, slander, and cancel me. Only recently, however, have they tried to deport me.

At least, that appears to have been the aim of a hit piece in Bari Weiss’s The Free Press, which claimed that Marco Rubio’s State Department was “investigating” me for allegedly seeking to “undermine the U.S.”—presumably because of my opposition to war with Iran.

Yet just hours later, the State Department issued a statement to reporters clarifying that “the State Department has no plans to revoke the green card of Mr. Parsi at this time.” Nor did it provide any confirmation for the central premise of the Free Press story—that an investigation of me existed in the first place.

So here’s what I think happened.

Why did private firms, not state-owned enterprises (SOEs), come to dominate China’s EV sector?

My new @ChinaJournal article (co-authored with Xiao Ma @maxiaoalex) challenge the "top-down industrial policy" narrative.

The real engine? Strategic alliances between local governments and private capital. 🧵

Based on 3+ years of fieldwork, 60+ interviews (with officials, entrepreneurs, and engineers), and rich first-hand accounts, we show how strict central regulations inadvertently drove local states to bet big on private EV players.

Here is the story: (1/15)

@sejudav In some ways I don't know how this is resolved. A section of the Afrikaner community have simply refused to integrate fully, Musk seems to be quietly stoking the differences and without access to the pillars of the economy, Ramaphosa and the ANC can't do much

@shaaka777 @TheMutaD You actually find the pager reference humorous!

Reminder that FIFA president Gianni Infantino was investigated for multiple ethics violations within months of taking office in 2016. The charges went away when he, in effect, closed down the unit investigating him. 1/3

@MusaFadala @AndrewAsiimwe1 Focus on the 400,000 NEW BOOK TITLES they published in 2021.

Reflect on it, think it through, and meditate on it.

@TimKalyegira @AndrewAsiimwe1 I do hold them in high esteem, I am only worried that some inside the German elite seem set on war with Russia, here is a link to the discussion https://t.co/K4lqDas7mg

@IsaacSsemakadde Please consider holding one of your spaces on lawyers and the economy. A good legal brain must have already deduced that neoliberalism is a nonstarter.

[Yaba @MusaFadala]

@TimKalyegira @AndrewAsiimwe1 Thank you for asking, I actually have an outline of a biography I am working and also hoping to fundraise so a sports journalist here can write about Ugandan football in the 1970s.

[Yaba @MusaFadala]

@TimKalyegira @AndrewAsiimwe1 I hope they write more on defense and foreign policy because for all their brilliance, they have been losing every war since 1914.

How incompetent must you be that in the very first sentence, you get the Minister's name wrong. Yes, it is Kakurugu not Kakurgu!

[Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development @Mglsd_UG]

A warm welcome to the new Ministerial Leadership Team as they officially assume office and take up the responsibility of steering the Ministry’s agenda.

I can see the Anti-Amin propaganda machine is still in overdrive, I am hoping the Ugandan Chef was paid for his services.

Cooking for Idi Amin and the World's Most Feared Dictators: The Men Who Fed the Tyrants
“A man of great appetites”: what’s it like to be a dictator’s personal chef? Uganda’s Idi Amin reportedly had the capacity for an entire roasted goat, says new film “How to Feed a Dictator”.
North Korea’s Kim Jong-il loved pepperoni pizza. Iraq’s Saddam Hussein couldn't resist a fish barbecue.
Yet no chef is as tormented by their service as Ugandan Charles Otonde Odera. He describes his early days working for the Ugandan despot Idi Amin as life-changing – a poor villager scraping by one day, and the next driving a Mercedes, supporting eight wives, and living in extraordinary comfort whilst Amin terrorised and brutalised the local masses.
For all the chefs, comfort was the trade-off. By most measures, theirs was a great gig – logic that can excuse almost anything. "Saddam's chef got a car every year".
It wasn't until Amin's second wife, Kay, was found dead in the boot of a car, amid rumours he had her killed for taking a lover, that Odera began to reconsider the bargain. "I missed my low wages from before," he says in the doc. "At least my heart was at peace."

Chandi Jamwa was on the cusp of doing that with NSSF, we sent him to jail for it.

@SokoAnalyst It is the role of world-class talent to study, identify, and find solutions to Third World obstacles. Talent that can't do that is not truly world-class.

@ekwaroobuku What is the Ugandan policy on Emergency Medical Services? Who is charged with maintaining this system? Is it the @PoliceUg, @UgandaRedCross or @MinofHealthUG?

Fascinating history, I am not sure though contemporary Poles are made of the same mettle.

Reprezentacja Haiti na oficjalnych koszulkach w których zagra na Mistrzostwach Świata umieściła POLSKĄ FLAGĘ!

To nie błąd projektanta ani przypadek – to wyjątkowy gest pełen szacunku, który porusza serce każdego Polaka. W 1802 roku Napoleon wysłał kilka tysięcy żołnierzy z Polskich Legionów na San Domingo (obecne Haiti), żeby zdławić tamtejsze powstanie niewolników. Polacy jednak wybrali inną drogę. Zamiast walczyć przeciwko walczącym o wolność, wielu z nich przeszło na stronę powstańców i stanęło do walki ramię w ramię z Haitańczykami przeciwko wojskom francuskim. Po zwycięstwie rewolucji i ogłoszeniu niepodległości w 1804 roku, pierwszy przywódca Haiti – Jean-Jacques Dessalines – oddał Polakom wielki hołd. Przyznał im pełne obywatelstwo, a w konstytucji nazwał ich „Białymi Murzynami Europy”. Były to słowa najwyższego uznania i braterstwa w tamtych czasach. Część polskich żołnierzy (ok. 400–500) została na wyspie na stałe, głównie w regionie Cazale, gdzie ich potomkowie mieszkają do dzisiaj. Dziś, ponad dwieście lat później, pamięć o polskiej odwadze i solidarności wciąż żyje na Haiti. Kiedy ich piłkarze wychodzą na murawę, niosą na piersi symbol naszej wspólnej historii – historii walki o wolność, która nie zna granic ani koloru skóry.
