In 1987, The King of Afrobeat, Fela Kuti, was invited to Burkina Faso by Marxist revolutionary and fellow Pan Africanist Thomas Sankara, a longtime fan of Fela’s music and a jazz musician himself.

French economist Thomas Piketty to Zack Polanski,

"This neoliberal turn of the 80s has not been a huge success for the middle class and for average living standards"

"The big promise that was made in the 80s by Reagan and Thatcher was, look, we are going to kill off progressive taxation, maybe inequality will rise, but the size of the pie is going to grow so fast like you've never seen."

"Average wages, average income are going to grow like you've never seen. And so everybody will be happy."

"30 years later, 40 years later. When I look at Brexit or when I look at the Trumpist United States, I don't see, very happy people."

"And I think partly because of the failure of this promise and this is why right wing parties in these two countries, the Republican in the US and the Conservative and now Reform Party in Britain, have turned anti migrant toward identity politics because they have not delivered on the economic front and on living standards"

One of the largest U.S. studies ever conducted on the MMR vaccine and autism has just been published, analyzing more than 2.5 million children.

Once again researchers found no association between receiving the first MMR vaccine before age 2 and childhood autism.

Kenyatta National Hospital cut down trees with active bird nests over the weekend. Some died and more were injured. KNH then issued a public statement claiming they are "working with authorities" on the welfare of the injured birds which is a lie.

No authority responded. The birds were rescued and are being cared for by a wildlife rescuer, at their own expense, while KNH takes credit in a press statement for work they did not do. They have not contributed at all to the welfare of the birds and this speaks to a deeper problem.

They did it on a weekend when NEMA and KFS offices are closed, when there is no one to inspect, no one to stop the chainsaws, and no one to hold anyone accountable.

Weekend tree cutting has become a familiar tactic in Kenya precisely because enforcement disappears on Saturdays and Sundays.

Did KNH have a valid permit to cut these trees? If so, who issued it, NEMA or KFS, and did they inspect the trees beforehand?

Nesting activity is visible. Active nests are not hard to spot. If a permit was issued despite that, someone signed off on this knowing birds were there.

If a permit did exist, NEMA and KFS owe the public an explanation for how it was approved without any environmental or ecological check on active nesting sites.

KNH does not get to issue a statement claiming welfare action it did not take, while a private individual absorbs the actual cost and labour of caring for the birds their tree felling harmed.

Did KNH hold a valid tree cutting permit and if so they should make it public.
Which agency issued it, and on what basis?

Will KNH now cover the costs of caring for the birds their actions harmed?

Another very unfortunate case of another young man called Eric Otieno who died from beatings and injuries in Muthaiga police station. A reminder that extra judicial killings are still happening in Kenya under Ruto's regime!!
Bad governance no knows no tribe or political affiliation.

We want to know what happened to the late Eric in Muthaiga police station!!

I always call-out idiots on both sides of the political divide and I'm measured in my condemnation of both. In addressing the political elites from Mt. Kenya, I address them taking cognizance of their education and general outlook. After all, i met many in University of Nairobi as a student and a teacher. I always take judicial notice of their political awareness and education. The rare moments i address Hon Sudi and his ilk, i address him as I address the herdersmen who look after my camel in Bangal...slowly, carefully, a calibrated mix of multiple languages here and there, few sign language, draw images on the sand, show photos from phone while gesturing and nodding...hopping and praying the message will not be lost in translation. It isn't easy but we have a cardinal duty to breakdown difficult ideas and simplify it for the less fortunate members of our community who were born before President Mwai Kibaki introduced free compulsory primary education. Both Hon Sudi and My herdersmen in Bangal are smart, good and decent men. Unfortunately, both just didn't have relatives to take them to primary school. It will cruel on our part to treat my herdsmen and Hon. Sudi as children of a lesser god. I for one refuse to do so!

[The Hormuz Report @HormuzReport]

BREAKING: A source close to Iranian officials says Tehran has documented a pattern of oil market manipulation tied to Axios reports and Trump administration insiders, including evidence of a $9 billion insider trading operation linked to Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff.

Some of the documented timeline from the $9 billion insider profit:

Between April and May 2026, a series of suspiciously timed trades in oil futures markets preceded major Iran war announcements—each tied to reporting by Axios.

On March 23, approximately $500–580 million in shorts were placed 15 minutes before Trump announced he was postponing strikes on Iran. Oil dropped.

On April 7, roughly $950–960 million in shorts were placed hours before Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran. Oil fell around 15 percent.

On April 17, around $760 million in shorts were placed 20 minutes before Iran's foreign minister announced the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Oil dropped.

On April 21, approximately $430 million in shorts were placed 15 minutes before Trump extended the ceasefire. Oil dropped again.

On May 6, nearly $920 million to $1.7 billion in crude oil shorts were placed approximately 70 minutes before an Axios scoop claimed the U.S. and Iran were near a "14-point agreement." Oil dropped 12 percent. Traders made an estimated $125 million. Iran called the report "the Americans' wish list."

Previously, a senior Iranian official told investigative outlet Drop Site News that Tehran privately warned JD Vance during Switzerland talks that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were "abusing" negotiations—"more interested in exploiting insider knowledge to profit in financial markets than reaching a deal."
