Let's be precise about what propaganda can and cannot do.
Propaganda can shape the information environment. It can make certain questions unsayable and certain assumptions invisible. It can manufacture genuine belief in false things.
It can make violence look like protection and extraction look like generosity.
It can do all of this and do it effectively across generations.
What propaganda cannot do is remove the capacity for doubt.
Every society under heavy propaganda produces dissidents.
People who noticed the gap between the official story and what they could see with their own eyes.
Who asked the question that wasn't supposed to be asked.
Who followed the evidence past the point where comfort stopped.
These people existed in Nazi Germany.
They existed in apartheid South Africa.
They existed in the antebellum American South.
They exist in every heavily propagandized society in history.
They were a minority.
But they existed.
Which means the propaganda did not make critical thought impossible.
It made it costly.
There is a difference between impossible and costly.
The difference is called courage.
And a framework that erases that difference, that says "propagandized population, therefore no accountability, therefore no courage required," is a framework that has decided in advance that courage will not be asked of anyone.
That is a very gentle framework.
It is also a framework in which nothing ever changes.
Pero esto que es?!?!?!?!?
HASTA LOS NIÑOS AL REDEDOR DEL MUNDO SE EMPIEZAN A BURLAR DE ARGENTINA, MESSI Y FIFA.
Bravo 👏🏼 @FIFAcom@FIFAWorldCup habéis logrado convertir una competición en una burla, un meme.
A Argentina y Messi ya ni te digo..
At Sam Mbakwe airport Owerri, a billboard has been put up for our star boy, Egejurum Onyedikachi, to celebrate him as he arrived in Owerri today.
He is 11 years old and the world’s best in the Primary category for Mathematics.
He is so good that he finished the exam and fell asleep.
What a star!
Meet Dale Partridge: The New Christian Face of U.S. Imperialism Advocating European Recolonisation of Africa
Whenever the clear and indisputable historical nexus connecting r*cism, col*nialism and Christianity is pointed out, two of the most popular retorts trotted out in response are that a) The historical events in question happened too long ago to matter to modern day African people and b) Christianity in Africa predates the European presence in Africa anyway.
These 2 chestnut arguments do not account for the reality that modern theological reality is very much a direct product of its historical influences, and the type of Christian theology present across most of Africa is European col*nial theology, not the Coptic or Orthodox theology that is indigenous to parts of Eritrea, Ethiopia and Egypt. This theology is still heavily influenced by, or even subject to the r*cist, extractive agendas of European theologians today - many of whom retain the violently imperial, parochial ideas of their forebears.
Meet Dale Partridge, lead teaching pastor at King's Way Reformed Church in Prescott, Arizona. A millennial born in 1985, Partridge's message is that Africans - or "Hamites" as he calls us - are subject to a divine curse that makes us unable to maintain our societies without European col*nialism.
Partridge is far from a lone outlier in this Christian theological school of thought. His theological mentor and leader of the so-called 'reformed Christian movement" is none other than Doug Wilson, who happens to be the personal pastor of US Secretary of War and avowed white supremacists Pete Hegseth.
The Spearhead commends Partridge for the unusual and refreshing honesty and lack of doublespeak in openly owning his abominable ideology which animates US Christian nationalism. The onus is on Africans to decide whether to validate the ideologies of violent anti-black r*cists with their religious loyalty or to try something new.
@firstladyship Nigeria media and journalists need to do more.
Graceland International School port harcourt recorded 4 gold, 7 silver and 7 bronze medals.
URGENT CALL FOR HELP!!!!!
This is a young medical doctor called Dr Innocent. He’s working as a house officer at the Nigerian Navy Reference Hospital in Calabar, Cross River State.
Dr Innocent and his other doctor colleagues who are also house officers have NOT been paid for 290 days.
Yes you read that right.
A whole 290 days of working as a medical doctor with ZERO pay. That’s about 10 months work with NO pay.
According to Dr Innocent,
The Ministry of Defence has refused to pay their salaries for no reason. This young medical doctors are being worked like slaves while receiving ZERO pay.
They have nobody to speak for them.
They have nobody to fight for them.
They are suffering and dying in silence.
Please if you see this tweet,
Kindly retweet, share and tag General Christopher Musa the Minister of Defence, and also please tag the Ministry of Defence,
I don’t know these doctors personally,
But we can’t watch evil and say nothing.
Please don’t let this young doctors suffer in vain, they have families who depend on them for support and survival,
It will only take you 2seconds,
Kindly retweet this post. This is the little we can do to help these doctors from the evil injustice done to them by the Ministry of Defence.
Pls share and retweet. Thank you.
They tried their best to utterly SCRUB this video from the internet!
Some of us kept copies!
THIS is the infamous video where Bill Gates ADMITS to depopulating the world with VACCINES!
WATCH IT
SAVE IT
SHARE IT!
@masuzafi Look at what their policy in Sudan in regards to their UAE’s alliance mission of genocide of Sudanese natives especially in Darfur, Nuba mountains and Blue Nile state and central Sudan!!! They erased our entire historical heritage in the oldest civilizations museum in Khartoum !
BREAKING: Is Pastor Adeboye aware that his friend Trump, who is currently busy dropping bombs in Iran, has been found guilty of se-xual as-sult, and has been ordered to pay $5 million for defaming the same woman he se-xually a-saulted?
Netanyahu said that an Iranian nuclear strike on Israel would be like “10,000 tons of TNT falling on a country the size of New Jersey (22,610 km2).”
Israel has dropped 223,000+ tonnes of explosives on Gaza (365 km2) - the equivalent of 22 nukes on 1.6% the size of New Jersey.
“They (FG) won't come directly, but you will see their hand in virtually everything. They are frustrating me”
Of course, he's right. That's exactly what the government of Nigeria is doing to him. But I don't know if he and those he's talking to actually understand that what he just described here is exactly how neocolonialism works.
And I ask again, how come people understand this easily, but when you tell them that foreign governments do the same thing, and that these foreign actors are the source of whatever heavy-handedness they complain about their local leader, suddenly it becomes hard for them to understand?
I just cannot reconcile this type of cognitive dissonance.
The U.S. is starving and killing babies in Cuba, and the media is staying silent about it.
The U.S. is starving Cuba like Israel is starving Gaza.
This's a criminal act of collective punishment. This’s a crime against humanity. And no one is talking about it.
Listen. If you wanted to know what was happening in France, you'd read French news? Probably? Right?
Well, if you want to know what's happening in China you MUST read Chinese news.
The Economist, WSJ, NYT, FA, Bloomberg, the BBC, CNN, and FOX write article after article about China, which are laughable garbage. I live in China and its distressing how plain-wrong they are on just about EVERYTHING they publish.
Instead of informing, they are misinforming. We shouldn't leave understanding the most important rising power in the world to people who only have half a clue.
Therefore, if you want to understand China, you need to read CHINESE news. It's not that hard to understand.
Here are some sites you should check in on to see what's true, and what's not:

Women adopt masculine titles BECAUSE the masculine is a superior state, and they subconsciously affirm that superiority by adopting male honorifics.
You do not see men doing the equivalent unless that man is gay and thus, spiritually feminine.
That (subconcious) recognition of their inferiority is also why they mock men with 'princess'
So they adopt masculine titles as an attempt at self-elevation. And assign feminine titles to men as an attempt at derogation
And in doing so, inadvertently affirm that they are inferior to men.
Who's the 'misogynist' now?
As a herbalist who has survived snakebites three consecutive times in the bush, I will share with you how I treat myself each time I get bitten.
It is important to always have this natural anti-snake-venom remedy available at home or with you when visiting snake-prone areas.
This preparation denatures the venom of all West African snakes and the venom of the Brazilian rattlesnake, which has no known antidote. It also cures tetanus.
Grind the root of the 'male' pawpaw and garlic together. Add alcohol to the paste, then sieve it to obtain an alcohol extract.
Give the victim just one (1) tablespoon to drink. The person will be okay. If the victim was bitten by a green mamba, give two tablespoons. Nature heals.
En 1441 un error cartográfico dejó una aldea italiana fuera del mapa de dos Estados.
Sus habitantes vivieron 385 años sin gobierno, sin impuestos y sin ejército.
Pero nadie había planificado esto.
Cuando el Papa Eugenio IV decidió venderle la ciudad de Sansepolcro a la República de Florencia, las dos partes acordaron usar un arroyo llamado Rio como frontera.
Pero había dos arroyos con ese nombre, separados por unos 500 metros.
Florencia trazó la frontera en el arroyo del norte.
Los que representaban al Papa la trazaron en el del sur.
En el medio quedó una tierra de 330 hectáreas con una aldea de 350 personas que se llamaba Cospaia.
Cuando los de Cospaia se dieron cuenta de que ninguno de los dos Estados los reclamaba, hicieron algo que cualquier persona racional haría.
Ellos se declararon independientes.
Ni Florencia ni el Papado quisieron reabrir las negociaciones por un pedazo de tierra que consideraban que era insignificante.
En 1448 ambos reconocieron formalmente a la pequeña república.
Cospaia funcionó sin gobierno centralizado, sin legislatura, sin jueces, sin cárceles, sin policía y sin ejército durante casi cuatro siglos.
Los asuntos comunes se resolvían en asambleas informales de jefes de familia y algunos ancianos.
Las disputas se manejaban por consenso, por reputación, por presión social.
Su única ley quedó grabada en la entrada de la iglesia de la Annunziata y decía Perpetua et firma libertas.
Libertad perpetua y firme, eso era todo.
Mientras tanto, la economía funcionaba sin impuestos, sin aranceles, sin monopolios estatales.
Los comerciantes de ambos lados de la frontera iban a Cospaia a comprar sal y otros bienes sin pagar derechos aduaneros.
La población creció de 350 a unas casi 800 personas.
Gente que se mudaba ahí sabiendo exactamente lo que iba a encontrar, sin impuestos, sin servicio militar obligatorio, sin inquisidores.
En 1574 llegó el tabaco.
El obispo de Sansepolcro recibió semillas desde Francia y las plantó en su jardín.
De ahí a Cospaia hay cuatro kilómetros.
En pocos años la pequeña república se convirtió en uno de los primeros centros de cultivo de tabaco en toda Italia.
Cuando el Papa Urbano VIII excomulgó a los fumadores en 1642 y prohibió el tabaco en los Estados Pontificios, Cospaia quedó como el único lugar en la península donde se podía producir y vender libremente.
El negocio claramentre explotó.
Cospaia prosperó vendiendo tabaco de alta calidad a una fracción del precio del producto oficial de los Estados vecinos.
Todo esto sin un solo burócrata, sin un solo regulador, sin una sola agencia estatal supervisando la producción.
Duró 385 años.
Más tiempo del que Europa lleva sabiendo que América existe.
Cospaia cayó en 1826 cuando el Papa León XII y el Gran Duque de Toscana decidieron que la anomalía ya no era tolerable.
Después de las guerras napoleónicas y el Congreso de Viena, el nuevo orden europeo no tenía paciencia para enclaves que complicaban el control territorial y fiscal.
El Papa bloqueó los suministros.
Los catorce jefes de familia que quedaban firmaron un acta de sumisión el 26 de junio de 1826.
Como compensación, cada habitante recibió una moneda de plata papal y el permiso de seguir cultivando tabaco.
Una moneda de plata por 385 años de libertad.
Muchos señalaron que si Cospaia hubiera resistido 35 años más, hasta la unificación italiana de 1861, probablemente seguiría existiendo hoy como San Marino.
Lo que Cospaia demuestra es algo que la teoría del Estado necesita explicar y nunca puede.
El orden social surgió espontáneamente de la comunidad, sin necesidad de coacción institucionalizada.
La prosperidad llegó precisamente porque nadie confiscaba los recursos de los productores.
La convivencia se sostuvo por mecanismos voluntarios, reputación y consenso, durante casi cuatro siglos.
Y terminó solamente cuando dos Estados decidieron aplastarla desde afuera.
The West’s Continued Exploitation Of Africans Plain To See At 2026 FIFA World Cup
As the world continues to follow the US-hosted 2026 FIFA World Cup, and contend with the glaring contradiction of this global event being hosted by a nation presently funding a g*nocide, we at The Spearhead could not help but notice another glaring truth about this event:
Africans playing against each other, on different Western teams.
This truth speaks to a third, more chilling truth: European colonialism is not some abstract footnote of history, but a vivid, ever-present reality which continues to hinder Africa’s progress to this day.
