@MrsErikaKirk Erika Kirk “looking journalists in the eye” at the WHCD

[Jeff Pearce @jeffpropulsion]

Again, why is this story only available to the BBC Amharic audience? Why isn't it on the main page of Africa news on the @BBCWorld website?

Why can't the rest of the world know what the dictator is doing and how he's slaughtering Amhara?

[Jeff Pearce @jeffpropulsion]

I strongly recommend this exhibition. It is moving. It is insightful and uncompromising. It is photojournalism that reaches the height of art.

And most importantly it is a crucial record of #AmharaGenocide. If you're in Baltimore, GO SEE IT. Hear the witnesses, learn the truth.

The Most Decorated Empty Room in the Horn of Africa
A guided tour of Ethiopian statecraft, for those who enjoy their tragedy well-lit

What happens in these rooms technically qualifies as diplomacy, in the same way that a birthday cake made of styrofoam technically qualifies as dessert. The table is full. The agenda exists. Photographs will be taken. Somewhere, a press release is already written. The performance is immaculate. The governance is another matter entirely.

Look at the room. Go ahead, take your time. Beside the prime minister sits the familiar constellation: the communications director, ready to reframe whatever just happened. The scheduler, whose greatest strategic achievement today will be protecting the 3 o'clock slot. The loyalist, nodding at precisely the right moments with the practiced conviction of a man whose entire career depends on the quality of his nods. The personal aide, present because proximity is its own currency when nothing else is being traded. Together, they form what serious governments might call a support staff and what this government has decided to call a foreign policy team.

In other capitals, a bilateral meeting with a head of state draws a different crowd. Foreign policy architects. Economic negotiators. Security analysts who have actually read a classified brief in the last calendar year. Regional specialists with opinions inconvenient enough to be worth hearing. People, in short, who were selected because they understand the country on the other side of the table. Here, the selection criteria is simpler, more elegant, more efficient: Can you be trusted to reflect the right image back? If yes, welcome to Ethiopian diplomacy. There is a seat for you. There is always a seat.

The pattern, at this point, has stopped being subtle enough to overlook. Burundi. Liberia. South Sudan. Mozambique. The agenda changes. The visiting leader changes. The continent's many urgent crises rotate through the schedule. The inner circle does not move. They are present for Burundi as they were present for Mozambique, for the same reason furniture is present in both rooms: because someone decided they belong there, and no one with enough standing has thought to ask why. Their expertise is not the point. Their competence is not the point. Their access is the point. Loyalty secured a seat at a table where the actual work of statecraft is, at best, decorative.

And the setting! One must genuinely admire the setting. Haile Selassie's palace, pressed into service as borrowed credibility. Grand halls designed for an era of different ambitions, now providing the architectural dignity that the meetings themselves cannot generate independently. The chandeliers are doing extraordinary work. The marble is pulling significant weight. The curated lighting has been asked to compensate for a great deal. Somewhere in the palace's original blueprints, no one anticipated that polished floors and floral arrangements would one day be expected to substitute for strategic depth, and yet here we are, watching real estate do the work that governance will not.

The visiting leaders are genuinely not the story. They are, in the most precise diplomatic sense, guests, and guests at a performance have limited influence over its quality. The host is the story. A government tells you everything about itself through the people it trusts with power in its most visible moments. These photographs are, in this sense, more honest than any official communiqué. They show a political operation organized faithfully around one man's comfort, one man's image, and one man's evident preference for rooms full of people who will not say anything inconvenient. The circle is tight. The circle is familiar. The circle is, by any serious measure, dramatically underqualified for the room it keeps appearing in.

What you are actually looking at, beneath the flowers and the protocol and the palace cast list, is a government that has confused access with capability, and made the confusion load-bearing. The spokesperson is there to echo. The scheduler is there to protect movement. The loyalist is there to maintain the mood. The media operator is there to ensure the photograph looks correct. The people missing, the independent thinker, the genuine negotiator, the strategist with enough job security to say Prime Minister, this is a mistake, are missing not by accident, but by design. Their absence is the design.

A country of more than 130 million people. Represented in these rooms by a ruler and his attendants. Echo chambers in suits. Errand runners with titles. Political decorators seated at tables where policy once took shape. What a predicament of this time.

Your Move!

Teddy Afro’s new album has crossed 105.1 million views on YouTube in ten days, and when streams on Spotify and Apple Music are added, the total likely reaches 145 million, pointing to roughly 29 million direct listeners and as many as 50 million people reached once shared listening is counted, numbers that place Teddy Afro within the range of global mass attention, and yet the scale alone does not capture what is unfolding, because this album resists the normal pattern where even major releases fade after a few days, this one renews itself with each listen, the melodies hold, the structure stays intact, the lyrics deepen, each track reveals more on repeat, carefully composed, deliberate in tone, and built to endure, this is work designed to grow and remain, and this is unfolding while the state under Abiy Ahmed has moved against his circle, with reports of arrests of his manager and assistant manager, a raid on his studio, and the seizure of equipment and unreleased material, which turns this moment into a global test of visibility and consequence, because an artist commanding tens of millions cannot be contained within borders, the audience is already distributed, the signal is already visible, and any escalation will be observed and amplified across multiple layers, from global music institutions such as The Recording Academy and International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, to cultural and artistic networks tied to Hollywood, to major international press ecosystems including The New York Times, BBC, and Reuters, alongside rights and advocacy institutions such as Amnesty International, PEN International, and global policy actors like the United Nations, each with the capacity to convert a domestic action into an international case record in real time, this is how exposure consolidates, through scale, repetition, and sustained attention, the numbers have already set the stage, the audience is already in place, the work itself continues to expand its reach, your move.

Ethiopia: music by superstar artist Tewodros Kassahun surpassed 100 million YouTube views within days, reflecting the country’s situation and shaking the regime. People were reportedly banned from listening to the music, dozens of listeners, along with the artist’s deputy manager, were detained and his studio was also reportedly raided, with equipment looted by government forces.

[Tibor Nagy @TiborPNagyJr]

Musicians are often more effective at telling truth to power than journalists or experts. Like him or hate him, Teddy Afro deserves credit for his willingness and courage in saying through song what he sees as failures in Ethiopian politics. Listen!

🚨 UNEARTHED VIDEO: Buried 2025 Clip Where Erika Kirk Accidentally Confessed The Infiltration Of TPUSA —3 Massive BOMBSHELLS Revealed😱

A buried clip from the 2025 Woman's Bloom conference in Orange County has just surfaced, and it is an absolute BOMBSHELL.

Erika Kirk was on stage, clearly feeling comfortable, and decided to give the audience a longer, "intimate" version of how she and Charlie met. She thought she was telling a rom-com fairy tale. In reality, her mask slipped, and she accidentally handed us the exact receipts we’ve been searching for to prove her infiltration of TPUSA.

She dropped three massive slip-ups in this one clip. Let’s look at the evidence she just provided against herself.

💣 Bombshell #1: The Israel "Mission"
Erika flat-out admits that she took a trip to Israel in May with one specific goal: "My whole intention of that trip was to find my future husband." She admits to seeing Charlie at the airport ticket line there. Fast forward to August, and she’s standing in his office. This wasn't an organic meeting; it was a targeted operation. She had a mission, and she executed it.

💣 Bombshell #2: The Tyler Bowyer Timeline Lie
In this unearthed clip, Erika states twice that she was invited to the Turning Point USA office opening by a "mutual family friend" who worked for Charlie.

We all know who that "family friend" is: Tyler Bowyer. But here is the problem—Erika has previously claimed on the record that she met Tyler at a 2015 Trump rally. So which is it? Did you meet him at a rally, or was he a long-time "family friend" who brokered your entry into TPUSA headquarters? You just caught yourself in a massive lie. The timeline is fractured. The players knew each other long before they claim they did.

💣 Bombshell #3: The Hamptons "Uncle" and The Mob Ties
This is the darkest part of the clip. Erika casually mentions that when Charlie DM’d her to meet up in NYC, she was staying in the Hamptons with "one of my uncles."

My question is: What Uncle would that be, Erika? Uncle Allen Rothstein?

Let’s connect the dots. Allen Rothstein is the father of Nicole Rothstein—Erika’s claimed cousin and former NYC roommate during her brief stint in real estate. Allen is a key figure linked to Windhaven Real Estate and faces a mountain of allegations regarding fraud schemes, questionable securities, casino-related dealings, and a lavish lifestyle with highly suspicious income sources.

And the Rothstein name isn't just a coincidence. It is historically tied to the organized crime networks of the "Jewish Mafia" (tracing back to figures like Prohibition-era kingpin Arnold Rothstein). Candace Owens has been warning us for months about this family’s ongoing shady ties to real estate fraud and mob-like networks.

🧩 The Grift Unveiled
Look at the picture this unearthed video paints: A woman goes to Israel hunting for a powerful husband. She uses a "family friend" (Tyler Bowyer) to infiltrate TPUSA. Then, while lounging at the Hamptons estate of an "uncle" tied to massive fraud and organized crime, she sets the hook on Charlie Kirk.

She thought she was sharing a sweet story. She actually just confessed to the setup.

Watch the clip before they try to scrub it from the internet. The truth is unraveling. 👇
