The guy who delightedly claimed to bring down Jason Arday, Nathan Cofnas, had his own work demolished as “unintelligible, wrong-headed …nonsensical” by nine more senior academics two years before Cambridge appointed him. He has argued that universities like Cambridge would have virtually zero Black professors if appointed solely on merit (which, funnily enough, is more or less what the supposedly ‘woke” Cambridge in fact has). He argues that Black people can only excel in sport and entertainment. A strangely under-covered aspect of this sad story https://t.co/rZ40w2dzvO
Nathan Cofnas who "broke" the story about Jason Arday.
He says Arday gave him the chance for a story to retaliate for being fired & start a "revolution" against Black people in academia.
"After the revolution, I'll be the head of the dept of eugenics & race science at Harvard'.
The fact that a man who proudly states that white people and Jews are superior races is at the heart of this modern day lynching of a black man says everything about how and why this story went the way it did.
This is who all you journalists and academics killed Jason for.
There is a photo of Prince Andrew, brother of the UK's current head of state, fondling a clearly unconscious female child's breasts on Epstein Island. This photo is in the public domain. I'm sure you can find it here on Twitter. The entire British press has basically nothing to say about it. It's not important. But some black guy of Ghanaian descent who became a professor at Cambridge may or may not have told some porkies in his dissertation - now that for some reason is actual national news, complete with wall-to-wall TV and radio coverage!
The old white men who literally rule that miserable, godforsaken umbrella island are known to be part of a transnational group of child rapists who regularly eat and fuck babies on Little St James Island, but never mind Jeffrey Epstein - this black guy's dissertation is the real important British national story! And now that he's dead, there will be a spring in all their steps tomorrow as they go out to their jobs that they hate, and gossip breathlessly about with their coworkers whom they hate, about how the death of someone who never did any harm to them has somehow improved their living condition.
You have never seen a creature as abjectly miserable, wretched and beyond all help as the pink, slightly overweight post-imperial Briton who derives their entire self-esteem from reminiscing about a lost past when Brittania ruled the waves and black people knew their place.
🇳🇬This is Nigeria in a nutshell.
All 3 news stories are frivolous, but just peep the #1. 🤦🏿♂️
Also, I have to add the algorithm of this platform and many others like it are designed to amplify such conversations for developing nations.
First, they designed monetization to encourage engagement farming. Next, amplify low quality conversations, so that if you want to follow the money, you have to follow the conversations that matter to the owners of the platform.
The platforms themselves are an extension of the imperial empires.
"We dislike Goodluck Jonathan (and we're too lazy, dishonest, and full of ourselves to examine whether that position is valid), so let's hand over this $560bn economy to the semi-literate old fogey who literally didn't complete secondary school. ANYTHING is better than Jonathan."
"Buhari hates this region and he wants to strangulate us, so let's protest by shutting down its economy every Monday, terrorising business people and schoolchildren, driving investment away, and ultimately strangulating ourselves."
"We dislike Tinubu (but most of us are far too cowardly to actually do anything about it), so let's cheer on the internet for resource-hunting country killers to come in and destroy Nigeria entirely, which might *maybe* remove Tinubu. It will probably end up replacing him with something even worse and we might all perish along with our families in the process, but ANYTHING is better than..."
A country full of destructive cowards whose thought process is like that of a teenager on their first period.
To understand the use of starvation as a weapon in #Gaza, it’s important to know about #Biafra.
Biafra existed as a country from 1967-1970 after declaring independence from #Nigeria.
Nigeria used famine as a weapon, with results that shocked the world.
A thread. 🧵
Do you know over 300,000 farmers died by suicide in India in the 2000s?
They were promised GMO seeds would end their poverty. But the seeds came with a trap. You had to keep buying them every year, along with fertiliser and pesticides. When the crops failed and debt piled up, many drank the same chemicals they were told would save their farms.
Now they are pushing the same seeds that most of Europe refuses to grow, and they are pushing them in Africa. Our leaders will sign the deals. But it’s the farmers who’ll carry the coffin. If countries like France and Germany rejected it, why is it being dumped in Africa?
Think.
Bill Gates is often accused of staging regulatory/state capture around the world for the benefit of his business interests, but how exactly does he do it?
An example from Nigeria this past week provides answers.
