Individualism is the poison introduced to the black race.
Standalone is never a calibration for vastness.
You need a team .
That's why we're @ d rock bottom in the world of things that matter.

بيقتل القتيل وبيمشي بجنازته

An Arabic saying. The literal translation is: he kills the victim, then takes part in his funeral. You get the gist of it.

Never thought I'd see a physical manifestation of this proverb but there it is.

The most important thing is the simplest thing and the hardest thing:

Let people make their own decisions about their own resources.

Without coup.
Without sanction.
Without "structural adjustment" as the price of emergency credit.

Just this:

This is your country.
These are your resources.
These are your people.

Govern yourselves.

The West doesn't have to do anything generous.

It just has to stop doing what it's currently doing.

That's the proposal.

Stop.

Niger Sets Strict Conditions For Reopening Border With Benin

Following his June 2, 2026, visit to Niger, Benin’s new President, Romuald Wadagni, has moved to mend his country’s strained relations with the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) member. On June 21, 2026, a joint committee formed by both countries concluded talks on reopening the Niger-Benin land border, which was closed by Niger in 2023 over security concerns.

The Nigerien delegation’s terms for this reopening were simple:

Benin must now choose between its continued subservience to France, and its relationship with the AES.

President Wadagni took office on May 24, 2026, taking over from former Benin President and full-throated ally of France, Patrice Talon. What this Wadagni’s recent moves mean for the status quo maintained by his predecessor remains to be seen. For now, Benin remains friendly with France.

The "international community" condemned this.

The "international community" is concerned.

The "international community" demands accountability.

Which countries constitute the international community?

In practice: the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia.

Sometimes Japan. Sometimes South Korea.

Seven billion people in China, India, Russia, the Arab world, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa are not the "international community."

They are the subject of the international community's concern.

They are the recipients of the international community's demands.

They are the locations where the international community deploys its accountability mechanisms.

This linguistic sleight of hand, converting a specific group of powerful Western states into "the international community" as if by consensus of the entire planet, is so normalized that serious journalists use it without irony in serious publications every day.

And the Indian reader, the Nigerian reader, the Vietnamese reader encounters this phrase and has two choices:

Accept the framing, in which case they have accepted their own exclusion from the category of "international."

Or reject it, in which case they are being unreasonable, parochial, nationalist, resistant to universal norms.

The language is a trap.

And it was built so carefully that most people walk into it before they notice it's there.

As Julian Assange turns 55 today, a reminder of what he exposed about the NATO war on Libya,

France's🇫🇷 Sarkozy pushed for bombing Libya🇱🇾 in 2011:

-to “gain a greater share in Libyan oil production”. Sarkozy was negotiating to reserve as much as 35% of Libya’s oil industry

-to stop Muammar Gaddafi’s ‘gold Dinar plan’, an indigenous gold-backed African currency to replace the French CFA Franc

-to improve his political position domestically

-to stop the decline of French influence in Africa

-to reassert the French military in the world

France’s govt run nuclear power program was started by a Communist.

USSR loved nuclear power. China builds nuclear power like crazy & leads the world in Fusion energy research.

“Liberating Asia” by raping and massacring Asian people ?

Nature also works through the fact that lions are not writing the rules of the Savannah, imposing debt on the gazelle, blockading gazelle access to water, installing preferred gazelles as client rulers, and then writing academic papers about why gazelle culture explains gazelle poverty.

The lion just eats.

It doesn't need an ideology to justify the eating.

That's actually the difference between a lion and an empire.

In the US the idea of sending Baron Trump to Iran is a meme, but in China Mao’s son literally died fighting in the Korean War.

That kind of sacrifice from a leader & willingness to be with the people is literally unimaginable to us in Western capitalist society.

Calling Modi and Takaichi “siblings” after Modi called Israel the fatherland and India the motherland makes the whole family tree look mentally exhausted.

The Indo-Pacific is not a strategy anymore.
It is a colonial arranged marriage, a stepfamily therapy session, and Washington’s custody battle over Asia.

El mundo anglosajón y el mundo japonés son versiones bastardas del mundo mediterráneo y el mundo chino, respectivamente.

Fueron superiores en la violencia organizada y su único mérito ha sido mercantilizar aspectos culturales de civilizaciones de las que hurtaron su ser.
