The right time is always #now

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

The most insidious form of mind control is when people manage to colonise the very meaning of words. Words are what humans use to describe and interpret reality, so whoever controls the use of words controls how humans perceive reality.

So you hear "Democracy" and ypu instantly think "USA", or you hear "Dictatorship" and you instantly think "China". Meanwhile what is the dictionary definition of the word "democracy"? Government of the people, for the people, by the people.

Is the US government a government "of" the people? No, it's actually a government of a small group of rich white men who control absolutely everything from abortion law to music record labels. They fund and control a political doupoly where nothing changes as power passes back and forth between both parties, except some peripheral culture war bullshit. The will of "the people" is not meaningfully represented and they have no actual say in how they are governed because the extent of their involvement in the system is to vote for either the blue or the red branch of the same system owned by Peter ThielMuskWinklevossGatesEllisonEpsteinvonWhiteManberg.

Is it a government "for" the people? Fuck no, even Americans will tell you that. The purpose of the US government is to help rich white people become richer at the expense of everybody else including poor white people. There is literally a court decision (Citizens United) which gives unrestricted power to US corporations over US electoral compaigns. Meanwhile, the US has the world's largest population of imprisoned people (most of whom are used as slave labour because prisons naturally, are part of their economic system), as well as a shocking prevalence of homelessness for a supposedly wealthy country.

Is it a government "by" the people? Not even close. Americans know as little about their government and the things it does as people who have never been there. No American ever voted for their government to fund terrorists in your country halfway around the world, or create and arm drug cartels in your country that can't locate on a map, or fund colour revolutions and regime change operations in your country on the other side of the planet whose name they can't pronounce. Yet their government does all these things and more, because they have no real involvement in or visibility over how it works.

But that is a "Democracy". And not just any democracy - THE "democracy".

Yet China, where citizens understand exactly how their government operates; where the process of entering government is entirely transparent, accessible and obvious to everyone with no hidden infrastructure or secret societies controlling anything behind the scenes; where the state exists entirely to serve the Chinese people and make their lives better instead of getting embroiled in multiple foreign wars and genocidal adventurism; where 96% of Chinese households own their own home; where the state has been able to build the world's only national bullet train network - that is the nation that is apparently "not democratic."

Using the dictionary definition of "Democracy", China is in fact a "Democracy" and the US runs a feudalist system of governance.

But when you colonise the dictionary and dominate what people take into their brains everyday for several decades, this entirely factual tweet becomes "controversial".

That is literally mind control.

Be boring. Don't chase trends. Don't follow opinions. Do your own thing. Things that feels right in your heart. Wake up early. Go for walks without music. Read books that takes weeks to finish. Watch old films nobody talks about. Music that's rare. Build a private, unimpressive life that makes you deeply happy. A slow life that feels like your own. That's all that matters.

do you understand what just happened to your computer..

Google Chrome secretly downloaded a 4GB AI model onto your device. Without asking.. Without telling you..

It's called weights.bin. It lives deep in your system folders. It powers Gemini Nano - Google's on-device AI.

And if you delete it? Chrome re-downloads it automatically. Like nothing happened.

Just Google deciding your hard drive is their storage unit.

At 1 billion Chrome users - that's 4 BILLION gigabytes of data pushed silently across the internet.

The carbon footprint alone equals tens of thousands of cars running for a year.

@nnamdiobiii This is impressive! Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Great job!
Consider adding: military junta and coup d’état

Every time the West calls an African country "unstable" they mean the resources stopped flowing.

I made a glossary of 100 diplomatic words they use and what they actually mean.

@Microinteracti1 @TC596 Way with words...

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

By the way, if you're African and you're new to geopolitical awareness, you can use this picture as a guide to know who is on your side and who is your enemy in this world.

Notice how China and Russia voted?

Then notice how your oyibo faves voted (or abstained, which is also a type of vote)?

Shebi "not everything is about race"? You see how white people ALWAYS instinctively bunch together, from Andorra to Norway, whenever it's time to do some racist shit?

That's called Pan-Europeanism.

The antidote is Pan-Africanism.

[Rachel Mireille @RachelMireilleN]

@sir_guevara1 We never learn. Why are we (africans in general) so welcoming?

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

For the record, with the sole exception of Orthodox/Coptic Christianity in Ethiopia, Eritrea and Egypt, pretty much ALL the religion practised in Africa today is a foreign sponsored psy-op.

It is not by accident that all these Evangelical Christian cults, Charismatic movements, prosperity gospel churches and Wahhabi/Salafi Islamic movements that did not exist in 1960 suddenly burst into prominence a decade later and took over the entire continent.

The Christian and New-Age ones were funded and aided by the US State Department, and the Sunni Muslim ones were funded by the Saudis and later the Qataris under the direction of the same US State Department. All of your Jehovah's Witnesses, Church of Latter Day Saints (Mormons), Rosicrucians, Grail Movement, Cherubim & Seraphim Church, Redeemed Christian Church of God, Mountain of Fire, Winners Chapel International, Christ Embassy, Izala Movement, abbl - they are all ultimately working for the same people, whether you like to hear it or not.

Those "Islamic extremists" that you hate? Both their religious leaders and yours are owned by the same people. Those "Christian infidels" that you look down on? Both your imam and their prosperity preacher clown work for the same people. You are all just a bunch of black Africans whom someone in DC decided to thoroughly and fundamentally mess with on every psychological and spiritual level, for the sole purpose of winning the Cold War. Your religion was never yours - it was just a calculation in somebody's war game.

That's why your Jehovah Witness 'governing body' tells you not to vote, join your military, or involve yourself in politics because war is Satanic and "you are no part of the world," yet the same Jehovah Witness corporate organisation invests and holds shares in weapons manufacturers and defense contractors like Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Northrop Grumman. They tell you not to involve yourself in professional sports or entertainment, and they kick you out for having sex outside marriage, but they hold shares and invest in Walt Disney and TimeWarner, which is a big player in the porn industry. All of this is publicly viewable information from their IRS Form 990:

"Your religion/church/movement" that originates in the USA or Saudi Arabia, which somehow migrated into Africa in the 1970s and exploded into mainstream popularity overnight was never "yours", and you know very little about it.

You are just a pawn in someone else's game.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

Oyibo is fundamentally a liar. That is the most important thing to understand about how the world works.

He professes "freedom of speech" but stridently criticise his precious Israel and see what happens to you.

He professes "freedom of movement" but he places a 6-week visa application process with a 75% denial rate between you and him.

He professes "electoral democracy" but he has electoral colleges, constitutional monarchies and unelected upper houses of parliament with hereditary seats.

He professes "free market capitalism" but he imposes tariffs on you, subsidises everything under the sun in his local economy, and when you win anyway, he calls it "overcapacity" and tries to end the game and go home with the ball.

He professes "individual liberty" for gays and transsexuals, but calls your ancestral polygyny "barbaric".

He talks about "nuclear non-proliferation" but he remains the only entity to have ever actually used a nuclear weapon before.

He funds the UN, the ICC, the ICJ etc. but the minute they issue arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu, he sanctions the ICC Chief Prosecutor and passes the 'Hague Invasion Act' to shield his soldiers from prosecution for war crimes.

He bitches nonstop about "illegal immigrants" and "white replacement" but no other population on the planet in the entire known history of humankind has ever left its home continent enmasse and violently seized 3 other continents, genociding the natives and outbreeding them at an industrial pace.

I could go on for days. Point is, your enhanced understanding of how the world works and your proper place in it as an African begins the day you learn to completely disregard ANYTHING you have heard from any kind of oyibo authority figure or institution.

Everything you have heard from him is a lie.

@CalilaneKalil @AfricaFirsts Excuse you? 🙄

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

When it eventually dawns on you people just how much oyibo hates you, and the amount of hard work he has put into sculpting a false reality for you so that you will waste your life and that of your children on a never-ending series of intellectual and emotional cul-de-sacs, you will carry his political system, his economic theories, his religion, his political puppets, his civil society grant recipients, his marionette media and journalism, his fuck ass Hegelian Dialectic that has turned you into binary-minded morons, and ultimately even his language, and you will put literal and metaphorical petrol-laden tires around the necks of all these people and things.

Then you will light this entire era of Nigerian history on fire and toss it into the trash where it belongs.

But until then, you will like Multiparty Electoral Democracy™️, neoliberal capitalism and CIA-flavoured Christianity/Islam very well.

Whenever you wake up is when your day finally breaks.

I'm not religious by any means but if I were God, it would be evident that based on the geographical arrangement of the world, I have my favourites.

Africa is that favourite. There is literally no material or human resource under the sun that cannot be found here in absurd quantities. We have EVERYTHING that humanity has ever fought wars over, in such quantities that I can understand why Leopold described Africa as a 'geological scandal.'

We are so absurdly stacked that even despite having the largest empire in history standing on our necks and extra ting ruthlessly for 500 years, we have still managed to be the world's 2nd most populous continent and by far the world's fastest growing population. No matter how breathlessly they extract, there are so many resources that 1.5 billion people still manage to exist without really doing so on purpose or having a plan for the future.

We are still the sovereign owners of this land, but at the rate we are fucking around, not for much longer. Nature has a habit of taking away gifts that are not utilised. If despite having all that we have, plus cheap instant communication and Ethiopian Airlines that reliably puts 90% of us within 6 hours of each other, we STILL manage to come out of the 21st century losing, then we will have fully earned the loss of our homeland and our disappearance from the earth, the same way the Mayans and Aztecs disappeared.

When Ibrahim Traoré says "Homeland or Death," it's not a patriotic slogan.

It's a statement of ugly fact.

Cameroon may be where the answers to Africa’s liberation come from. I saw a list of all the key people in the country, and they were all very older men. How can such older people hold an entire populace comprising brilliant young people hostage? The answer is divide and rule.

I have worked in many African countries, but two places where I saw overt prejudice were Kenya and Cameroon. Nigerians may hate each other, but they hide it until they can do each other in.

In Kenya, the Luo and Kikuyu guys in the same office in 1999 weren't talking to each other and were sending emails back and forth with me in the middle. They would talk to me separately but not to each other. They kept every interaction formal. I found it odd until I understood from the conversation that they hated each other. Even Nigerians pretend before they stab you in the back.

Cameroon was special. They treated us very well and like royalty. The food was phenomenal, and the Mekwe was for the gods, as we were told “allegedly.” The people were brilliant and fast learners. We thought it was a great place to get people skilled up and leave them in charge, but that was a bad mistake. The Cameroonian guys we left behind to continue work were the guys the people we were working for hated. We didn't understand the local divisions and didn't see it coming.

The driver who was taking non-Cameroonians to and from work refused to take his fellow Cameroonians to the office; it was that bad. The whole thing degenerated rapidly, and we were out of there and have never been back to work there. Kenya wasn't even that bad, as they still worked together.

These divisions are music to the ears of old politicians. One old politician may do you harm, and instead of taking it out on him and his accomplices, you hate the larger group that they belong to based on stereotypes that become validated when they hate you in return. The craziest part of Cameroon’s division is that it is largely based on adopted colonial languages.

I have met Cameroonians, and I know for a fact that many are exceptionally brilliant. I believe they can come together and find a solution that the rest of Africa can learn from. I don't think the old men dying off will be the simple solution, as other almost old men are ready to take their place.

The solution lies in what the youth do to end the divisions and have one voice. This is the same problem that plagues most of Africa. Family members quarrel but remain family members. African citizens quarrel, and the next thing you see is weapons.

Rwanda’s solution was a strong leader. Cameroon’s solution may be something different and more durable. We are watching and praying that they figure this out. It is easier for it to happen in a smaller country than Inna bigger one. Cameroon may give Nigeria and others the template to remove the oppressors.
