Today’s mainstream media platforms present themselves as independent voices of reason and democracy. However, it is plain to see that they operate within a paid framework that wilfully marginalises radical discourse ....

“The first remarkable thing about Betway is how it relies on SA for fully half of its global revenue…The second is the extent to which the company’s immense gambling revenue from SA ends up in the hands of a tiny clique of SA expats.”

The US-brokered "peace deal" between the DRC and Rwanda is actually wild.

The US is getting access to $2 trillion worth of DRC minerals in exchange for forcing the withdrawal of Rwandan-backed M23 militias. That's one-tenth of the DRC's total mineral wealth, more than any single foreign country claims.

This is strange, because analysts of the region have long argued that the US has effectively enabled Rwandan support for the M23 in order to destabilize the DRC, prevent a functional state from arising and achieving sovereignty over its mineral wealth, and thus ensure minerals stay cheaply available for US firms.

If this analysis is correct, then the US has just acquired $2 trillion in mineral rights in exchange for stopping a conflict that it has effectively supported.

Consider also how the media discourse is playing out. Remember that in 2008 Chinese firms signed a deal with the DRC to obtain $9 billion in minerals in exchange for infrastructure development. Western media went wild with narratives of "Chinese colonization". Now the US has secured a minerals deal 200x larger and the media narrative is all about how the US brings "peace".
