@Smilesz2 @kwesiprattjr But you realize how naive you are sounding yet robing that naivety in dazzling English... It intimidates no one young man. Simple English spoken in truth always hit harder... Do you or do you not know of the agenda to host a US base in Ghana? If no we can educate you. For Free!

Dear friends, those of you who are asking for the link to the signature campaign against the US military base in Ghana, here is the QR Code.

Very Best Wishes.✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

Silicon Valley is Planning another set of measures of control for the next two or more Centuries and Africa still waits on its hind legs like a humble dog waiting to be thrown the bone of control.

I repeat: West-driven Tech is an agenda for control.

[Palantir @PalantirTech]

Because we get asked a lot.

The Technological Republic, in brief.

1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation.

2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible.

3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public.

4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.

5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed.

6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost.

7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way.

8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive.

9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret.

10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed.

11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice.

12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin.

13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet.

14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war.

15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia.

16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn.

17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives.

18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within.

19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all.

20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim.

21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful.

22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

#MILITARY BASES
Countries in Africa, Latin America and Asia met at the Tricontinental Conference in Havana, Cuba in 1966 and passed the following resolutions on foreign military bases;

• “Taking notice: That the presence of troops in several countries of the three continents is another of the three elements of domination at the service of the colonialists and neocolonialists, and that it also represents a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the states, a means of exerting pressure against the nations and a hindrance to their emancipation and development, and a permanent threat to international peace;

Condemns: The existence of military bases and the presence of troops in foreign countries;

Demands: The immediate withdrawal of all troops, the dismantling of the military bases and the restitution of the territories encroached;

Recognizes: The right of the peoples and governments to refuse to accept the maintenance in their territories of such means of pressure, which attempt against their sovereignty and supports the struggle for their definitive liquidation;

Calls: On all the peoples to fight with decision against the establishment of any kind of foreign military installations and the quartering of foreign troops in other countries;

Denounces: With the greatest energy the schemes of the imperialist powers, that have forcibly imposed upon the recently emancipated countries such treaties that legalize the maintenance of bases and the presence of troops for the purpose of perpetuating their domination and of threatening the security of other peoples;”.

So why are we still allowing the establishment of foreign military bases on our soil?

[Sam Okudzeto Ablakwa @S_OkudzetoAblak]

The Government of Ghana has formally lodged a protest with UN Secretary-General, António Guterres following the condemnable attack on Ghanaian peacekeeping soldiers in Lebanon.

We are demanding full, immediate, impartial and transparent investigations into the attack which violates international law and amounts to war crime.

We shall firmly pursue justice and enhanced protection for our gallant soldiers.

The injured soldiers can count on the nation’s love, prayers and unflinching support.

[Dr. Sabreena Ghaffar-Siddiqui @sabreenaGS]

Literally no Muslim in the world is shocked. Lol.
This is not news.

Edward Snowden leaked 10 years ago that MI6, CIA and Mossad worked together to create and train ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram and every local off-shoot terrorist group.

And just last year, US congressman Scott Perry whistle blew that the US has been funding all these groups through USAID.

But guess what the biggest tell has always been?

The people these “Muslim terror groups” love to kill the most are Muslims! And only carried out their first controlled attack on Israel in 2017 when rumour mills started to reveal the Mossad connection. (Spoiler alert: it was a false flag).

So, despite years of you telling us that “Muslim radical Islamist terrorists” are the greatest threat to western civilization and they especially “hate Jews” they mainly target their own people and not their “greatest enemy”?
Lol.

Here’s something else you might mot know, and it’ll help explain the below - Iran has been fighting to try and eliminate these groups for decades!

“Al Qaeda urges Muslims to back Israel over Iran”. Yeah, no shit, Sherlock, because they are Israel and Israel is them.

Nothing but the truth...

Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, no strength known but the strength of love: So mightily spread abroad your Spirit, that all peoples may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of Peace, as children of one God; to whom be dominion and glory, now and for ever. Amen.

[Brian Berletic @BrianJBerletic]

Why isn't China intervening to stop the US war of aggression against Iran?

Somehow this is still a question people are asking, so I will explain.

1. China's military is built to defend China within and along its borders against a massive and growing US military build-up all along its peripheries ongoing for decades.

Its forces are organized around hardware designed specifically for this purpose - not to project military power around the globe like the US does - and the US has these capabilities because it is an aggressor - not for national defense.

China literally has no ability to project the military power required to confront and successfully stop a full-scale US war of aggression on the other side of the planet with the capabilities it has for national defense;

2. In order to launch this war on Iran - the US spent decades building up a network of global and regional bases, logistical networks, ammunition depots, fuel dumps, regional integrated air defense capabilities etc. to first encircle Iran - then attack it.

China would be required to create an equal or greater network throughout the region to stop this- and this simply isn't possible;

3. The US built its network up through both politically capturing nations in the region (Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain, UAE, Kuwait) and invading/occupying them (Iraq & Syria).

China simply doesn't conduct its foreign policy this way - because if it did - it would be just as bad as the US itself;

4. If you think China could simply project military power over the horizon - this is even more difficult and unrealistic. This requires huge amounts of long-range aircraft, immense aerial refueling capabilities, and long-range munitions as well as forward bases at least near the region to do so.

Sending naval vessels would simply place them at the mercy of a better prepared and more extensive military positions the US has established over decades as explained above;

5. What China has likely done is all that it could do - provide economic support against illegal US sanctions, provide technical/material support for Iran's military industrial production, provide military support through the transfer of weapons and equipment.

All of these have their limits especially in terms of the transfer of military equipment to Iran - which takes YEARS to train Iranian personnel on EFFECTIVELY, as well as to integrate it through training in modern combined arms operations.

This last point regarding the amount of time it takes to effectively integrate new military hardware into a military is exactly why Ukraine has failed to absorb and fully utilize floods of Western weapons and equipment in the US proxy war on Russia being waged there.

CONCLUSION

There are real-world limitations on what nations like Russia and China can do against US wars of aggression elsewhere especially considering the fact the US is waging proxy war on both Russia and China at the same time it wages direct war on Iran.

Russia and China are doing what is realistic and within their capabilities - and are constantly expanding their own capabilities in order to do more when possible.

Do not confuse real limitations with a lack of concern or will - and realize blaming Russia or China for a US WAR OF AGGRESSION simply serves Washington's agenda - not Iran's or any of its allies.

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

Everyone criticizing Iran for striking the Gulf and Cyprus

What do you expect when you kill their leader, bomb the hell out of them and explicitly say you want to topple the regime?

They are fighting for survival. They have nothing to lose

Thats why this war is a terrible idea

[Osagyefo Oliver Barker-Vormawor @barkervogues]

1. Capitalism has done something very clever to warfare for America. It has removed the American human and by extension the European human’s proximity to death.

2. War used to mean your sons drafted, your cities rationed, your factories converted, your streets filled with absence. It demanded a shared national discomfort. You felt it in your body, in your home, in your daily choices.

3. Now it is a quick decision between Marco, Bibi and the Donald. It’s all a video game. It is a drone operated from a chair thousands of miles away.

4. For Americans, war now arrives as footage. A night-vision clip. No amputees at the bus stop. The violence isnt because it’s virtual. The distance turns a great deal of human suffering into iranian dancing on the street videos.

5. This distance produces a particular kind of moral insulation. War is watched more than it is lived. It is narrated through the language of precision, deterrence and stability, and visually through grainy aerial clips and digital maps. The operator sits in a climate controlled room, the voter drives home from work, the markets close for the day.

6. Nothing in the physical environment suggests that a society is in the middle of organised killing. The experience resembles a video game and this makes the violence is fictional, remote and consequence free for those authorising it.

7. But the human cost has not disappeared. It has moved, with remarkable consistency, to the Global South. There, war is not a broadcast.

8. People die in thousands over night. Innocent people. But people, babies and young girls don’t die as humans. They die as statistics or as technical langauge. Eg. collateral damage, civilian casualties etc.

9. The task of war for the American is to first takeway their humanity. No information that creates sympathy. Rather feel good messaging. We liberated Iran, we liberated Iraq; we liberated Libya and Afghanistan.

10. We do it because we as Americans are inherently good. We do it for humanity.

1. War is a video game for the West. A holocaust for the global poor. But who counts black and brown deaths?

End the killings!

Shalom.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump wanted regime change. His own CIA told him killing Khamenei might make things worse. He did it anyway.

The assessment was produced two weeks ago. If Khamenei dies, hardline IRGC commanders likely take over, men whose entire identity is military, not theological.

Men with no interest in diplomacy, no clerical legitimacy to protect, and no political pressure valve.

Khamenei is 85. He's a cleric. He operates through religious authority, political maneuvering, and calculated restraint. The IRGC operates through guns.

This is the Iraq lesson America never learned. Kill Saddam, get ISIS. Destabilize the top... and unleash something worse from below.

The CIA didn't say don't do it. They said: don't assume killing the leader ends the regime. Iran is a system, not held together by one man.

The Supreme Leader is the face of it. The IRGC is the skeleton.

Trump told the Iranian people tonight to seize the moment and rise up.

But if Khamenei is dead and the IRGC takes control, the people rising up won't be facing an aging ayatollah.

They could be facing soldiers with nothing left to lose.

[Osagyefo Oliver Barker-Vormawor @barkervogues]

Very soon the West will start showing us images of people claimed to be Iranians dancing in the street.

When they do; Remember that they did same with IRAQ and Libya.
