When Europeans first encountered Great Zimbabwe in the 1870s, they refused to believe it was built by indigenous Africans and attributed it to Phoenicians, Arabs, or even the biblical Queen of Sheba. The colonial government of Rhodesia actively suppressed archaeological evidence that contradicted this, and archaeologists who concluded that Africans built it faced professional consequences.
The dry-stone construction without mortar is also confirmed, over 900 years old still standing, built entirely from locally quarried granite shaped and stacked without binding material.

For the first time in memory, a US president visits China and it is clear that China is the greater power in that relationship; the bigger military power, the bigger economic, scientific and industrial power, and the better liked country globally. A huge shift happened, but we are not yet fully aware that it did happen because it didn't involve great violence.

But China is not a rising power: it is the big power, just without the self-aggrandizing and narcissism, the glut, and the drama

[New Direction AFRICA @Its_ereko]

Look at how the BBC frames it. "If the people want me to have a third term, I will accept." Like it's a humble offer. Like the people are begging him.

But here is what the headline leaves out.

Tshisekedi is already serving his second term. The DRC constitution limits the president to two terms. What he is suggesting is an illegal power grab dressed up as democracy.

And why does the BBC soften this? Because Tshisekedi is their man. He plays nice with Western mining companies. He keeps cobalt flowing to your electric cars. He does not expel your diplomats.

When a leader in Mali or Burkina Faso talks about extending terms, the BBC calls it a coup or a regression. When a Western-backed leader does it, the headline is gentle. "He may consider."

Same continent. Same violation of term limits. Different framing.

That is not journalism. That is propaganda with a British accent.

They call it “corruption” in third world countries

They call it "lobbying" in the west

I promise you it’s the EXACT same thing

Excavation Report
Earth
5436 Post-Conquest

"In the American layer — recovered, notably, beneath the Greenlandic stratum — our team catalogued over 800 million red textile fragments, each inscribed: Make America Great Again.
The word 'Again' presupposes a prior era of greatness for which no evidence has been located in any excavated layer.
Scholars continue to debate whether the phrase was an aspiration, a command, or a prayer. The dominant view holds it was all three, which explains why none of them worked.
No civilization in the excavated record has produced more headwear per capita and less lasting achievement per century.
The correlation is being studied."

His Holiness Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex), I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.

Do Christian Zionists understand that Israel is ethnically cleansing the world's oldest Christian communities, descended from the first disciples of Christ? That the Maronite Christians of Lebanon still pray and sing in the language that Jesus spoke?

🚨🇫🇷🇮🇷 IRAN'S PLAYING DIVIDE-AND-CONQUER WITH HORMUZ AND IT'S WORKING

Iran's got a system: block U.S. ships, let European ones through... but only if those countries stand up to Trump.

France crossed today no problem, Spain blocked airspace recently and got rewarded.

It's brilliant... and infuriating. They're splitting NATO by making it profitable to oppose Washington.

Every European ship that gets through proves you don't need America to keep trade flowing, you just need to not be America.

Trump's entire pitch was "they need us for security." Iran just showed Europe they need Trump less than Trump needs them.

He's gonna lose his mind and escalate hard, which is exactly what makes this strategy work. The madder he gets, the more Europe distances itself, the less likely he is to end this with a win.

Brilliant. And infuriating.

🚨 ABC News confirms: Iran used advanced passive infrared detection to shoot down the American F-15.

Passive infrared detection does not emit radar signals.

It cannot be detected or jammed by American electronic warfare systems.

It is invisible to the technology America has spent trillions building its air superiority around.

[Sara N @SaraNajmaii]

Iran has accomplished something more important than a military victory on the ground, as it has dragged the reputation of the United States of America and Israel through the mud—and more crucially, it has emboldened countries around the world to muster the courage to say "no" to the most arrogant American president with his delusions of grandeur, rejecting his requests outright. It has even turned him, the United States of America, and Israel into the laughingstock of laughingstocks, even among the closest allies and partners of the United States. This, in and of itself, is a historic achievement.

[The Aramaic Wire ܣܘܪܝܐ @AramaicWire]

Evangelicals are partly to blame for the collapse of Middle Eastern Christianity.

They are the biggest supporter of wars which destroy Christians.

But it goes way deeper than that.

They view Christians like Assyrians in Iraq as a pawn to expand their footprint as "authentic" Christians.

They can be so brazen that they even set up local organizations & try to convert *Apostolic Christians* to *their* brand of American Christianity.

Imagine destroying an Apostolic, Aramaic speaking Christian community which is 2000 years old.

Then setting up an NGO to convert them to Megachurch Protestantism through bribery & handouts.

Isn't that insane?
