@USTradeRep Why's it an issue that Nigeria chooses to focus on supporting local manufactures of the above listed rather than export them from the U.S? Would the U.S import what it can manufacture?

Jeffrey Sachs: MI6, DGSE, and CIA Can’t Stop Pan-Africanism This Time - That Era Is Over!

According to American economist and author Jeffrey Sachs, the first wave of Pan-Africanism which birthed African independence and liberation movements in the 2nd half of the 20th century, was stopped from outside through the combined efforts of the US, British and French intelligence services working together to ass*ssinate African leaders and disrupt the process of independent African state formation.

This interruption, Sachs says, is no longer sustainable because these intelligence agencies no longer have the power and the narrative upper hand, and Africa increasingly now has the ability to defend itself. Sachs advises Africa to focus on building out a continent-wide legal and infrastructural framework to boost cooperation and trade in such a manner that would create an economic miracle similar to that of China.

Turned out God had a beef with my father because he wouldn't let his people go, and my blood had to be spilt as collateral damage.

The year is 300 bc, I had just reincarnated into an Egyptian family as the first born son of the Pharaoh.
Being grateful for the creator to be conscious again, I dreamt of a good life. I wanted to travel around the world, to take every moment in, make the most of the gift I had

[Abiodun @bin_gbada]

Wait, he’s openly admitting he flouted a court order, then he’s practically saying a judge told him it doesn’t matter if his agency is wrong or right in a case as long as it’s on her table, they’ll get favorable ruling because he gave her preferential treatment?

Like a sitting judge said her own case supersedes court order? Ha!

White solidarity does not even have to make perfect historical or ethnic sense. The people involved do not have to be closely related or even share a contemporary ethnic identity. Time and again, influential white power structures have shown a willingness to close ranks when they perceive a challenge from Black people.

They may have their own longstanding blood feuds, rivalries, and even wars among themselves, but history also shows that those divisions can quickly become secondary when broader racial, political, or strategic interests are perceived to be at stake.

In such moments, they often unite not only to fuck you but also to ensure that white people within your own society retain a structural advantage over you. That is a recurring political pattern, whether you acknowledge or not.

It is frustrating when you have to explain this to some Africans who insist that Black people have no reason to cultivate solidarity and that we have nothing in common, even while those hostile to us often flatten our differences and treat us as a single group.

If others are willing to generalize us collectively, there is at least a practical argument for collective awareness, mutual support, and cooperation, even without denying our internal diversity.

Every single part of your daily peace is governed by politics. If you're holding onto a cracked screen because phones now cost millions or you can't buy shawarma without doing mathematics, you are feeling the real-world weight of state failure.

Everything is politics.

Capitalism is a death cult

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

The human species has essentially been transformed into a giant profit-generating machine for corporations.

Under capitalism, humanity exists to serve the interests of the corporation. We are all livestock; beasts of burden used to carry margin expansion forward from quarterly statement to quarterly statement. Enjoyment of life has no value other than the extent to which it can be used to increase the net worth of the shareholders.

That’s why everyone’s so unhappy. We’re not living with purpose. We’re not working together to build a better world and a better future, we’re just pulling levers to turn gears to make the arrow line go up on the graph in the conference room. It’s a hollow, pointless way for people to live.

It makes our whole culture vapid and soulless.

Music is made to be as profitable as possible, which means giving it the broadest possible appeal using formulaic song structure calculated to cause a chemical response in the largest number of human brains.

Movies are designed to draw the largest possible box office revenue at the lowest possible risk to studios and investors, often by just rehashing a movie that’s already proven successful in the past or by slapping together a story about an IP with pre-existing mass appeal.

Food is made to be fast and addictive rather than nourishing.

Healthy human connection has been commodified as social media intertwines with friendships and dating apps insert themselves into the development of romantic relationships.

Human sexuality is being warped and twisted as internet porn normalizes violence and degradation for the maximum number of clicks.

Attention and engagement have been monetized, creating an information ecosystem dominated by conflict and gossip designed to appeal to our baser instincts.

Advertisement is injected into every possible corner of our waking sensory experience, with any available space where the eye might rest or the ear might listen being flooded with psychological manipulation compelling us to consume. They’ll start running commercials in our dreams the instant they have the technology to do so.

You spend eight hours at the office working to generate corporate profits, then you come home and consume products to profit other corporations. You need your beer and snacks to unwind, your streaming services and social media to distract your mind from the stress of it all, your online clothing purchase to try to feel good about yourself, and your prescription drugs to get to sleep at night. People live their entire lives like this.

And that’s those of us who are lucky enough to be living in the global north. In the global south you get wage slavery and exploitation with far more toil, far less relaxation time, and no cheap products made by impoverished workers on other continents with which to comfort yourself.

All of humanity has been roped into this mess. And for what? To make the numbers in some bank accounts increase. To get some green arrows pointing upward on the stock exchange. To enable a few billionaires to buy islands and elections.

All while destroying the biosphere we all depend on for survival.

This, we are told, is the best possible system we could possibly be living under.

I personally do not believe this is true. I personally believe we can have better. Those who benefit from this current arrangement are going to assure us it’s impossible and do everything they can to stop us from changing it, but we do have the means to reclaim the wealth, dignity and happiness that they have stolen from us.

They built this whole machine on our backs. All we need to do is stand up.
