It begs the question: “When did we get off that plantation, that Military-Financial-Education-Retail Complex?
Ahh, the reality of Capitalism, and then, checked-out consumers and just brain dead movie goers (something about sold out venues for the dirty Oppenheimer and the Nazi Barbie?)
Black Agenda Report: Siddarth Kara does a remarkable job of documenting those conditions suffered by the people at the bottom of a capitalist food chain. He’s not the first to do it, of course. Global WItness, local Congolese NGOs, and Africa Watch have all documented these conditions, not only in the artisanal mining sector, but also in the industrial mining sector. You have almost equally horrific conditions in the industrial mining sector.
Time and time again, these people on that continent are not dirty UkroNazis, all those lilly white ones who left the “country” with billions, and just living off the dole in EuroZombieLandia and U-Inbred-Kingdom.

Again, just shuffling through the real news aggregator, International 360, and you get real stories about African HEROES.
You won’t hear toughies like George “I Want To Kill Wagner” Clooney talking about these heroes:
Josina Machel says the continent’s people don’t need to take up arms to get rid of neocolonialism, but rather must unite
Josina Ziyaya Machel, the daughter of the first president of independent Mozambique, Samora Moises Machel, is part of the delegation from her country in St. Petersburg for the Russia-Africa Summit. She spoke to RT about the need for Africa’s youth to carry on her late father’s legacy of fighting for the continent’s liberation.
In response to a question about why foreign military forces are stationed in independent African states, claiming to be fighting terrorism, Machel stated that it is a modern form of colonialism.
“It’s the lithium; it’s the oil; it’s the gas,” she said, adding that colonists are on the continent to continue grabbing the continent’s resources. (source)
You won’t see Kamala “I Married a Jewish Millionaire” Harris talking about this hero:
The continent must be more introspective to agree on how to move forward, says the daughter of anti-apartheid activists Oliver and Adelaide Tambo
The African continent must realize that what happens within it is more important than what happens outside of it, South African diplomat Nomatemba Tambo told RT in an exclusive interview.
Speaking with RT’s Moussa Ibrahim ahead of the upcoming Russia-Africa Summit in St. Petersburg, Tambo – who is the daughter of renowned anti-apartheid activists Oliver and Adelaide Tambo – insisted that while it’s good for the African continent to cooperate with other countries, it is also necessary to recognize that each African state has its own unique challenges and realities.
“We need to be more introspective,” Tambo said. “It’s wonderful to have relationships with other countries, but we need to say ‘African solutions for African problems’, not ‘Western solutions for African problems’.” (source)
None of the other dirty three dozen in the Israel First battalion of Nuland-Kagan-Blinken-Garland-Yellen-Biden shit hole will talk about this hero:
Africa must come together as a continent and stop relying on foreign countries for its development, insists writer Madaraka Nyerere – the son of independent Tanzania’s first president, Julius Nyerere.
Speaking to RT ahead of the Russia-Africa summit in St. Petersburg, Nyerere said he believed it was unfortunate that some African countries were “distracted by the supposed assistance” that was meant to come from other nations, as well as the IMF and World Bank.
“I have the opinion that if a country has a leading position economically, it will rarely give up that position willingly,” Nyerere said, adding that it is “unrealistic” to expect others to voluntarily yield their hold on the global economy.
The only “realistic” way for the African continent to develop, according to Nyerere, is for it to unite and use its resources for the benefit of the African people, without becoming an agent for foreign powers that only wish to exploit the continent for its resources. (source)
You will not hear a peep from a Mauling Maddow of Vapid Vanderbilt Anderson about these real heroes, including:
Amilcar Cabral remains an immortal embodiment of “revolutionary democracy”.
“We must practice revolutionary democracy in every aspect of Party life … hide nothing from the masses … tell no lies … claim no easy victories.”
The path to liberation for African countries after the attainment of independence has become a remote possibility; a universal dream dreadfully fizzling out, and often patched up weakly by a vacuous rhetoric of popular African nationalism. It is not a far-fetched assertion—rather, it is the concrete material reality—to say that in Africa we do not have post-colonial nation states but neo-colonial ones.
This is the sobering reality: In most instances, African political parties, whether ruling or opposition, have incredibly failed the masses and are relentlessly plunging their countries and the continent at large into the dark, horrendous abyss of perennial poverty and regression.
What is disconcerting to note about African countries in the contemporary context of globalized capitalism and its hegemonic dominance is that there is scant regard among the political, economic, and religious elites about the welfare of the immense majority of poor Africans. (source)

So Russia is hosting African leaders, and China is developing mutual relationships in Africa, but the USA is a terrorist, full of terrorist financial, military, economic, media, education, propaganda CAMPS.
China, man, learn about CHINA, please.
This Wednesday, July 19th at 7pm, Li Kangzheng delivered a presentation on China’s untold history which is guaranteed to blow your mind and expand your understanding on the dynamics of our past and present world. I asked Li to make a short description of his lecture which follows: “This coming lecture will explore the British Empire’s scheme to tax every Chinese import and export for a century and the Chinese “precursor to the League of Nations”. We will also deal with the topic of Hong Kong in revolt featuring a true student massacre which accompanied an incredibly self-destructive educational revolution… but not the ones you think.” This is part 1 of 2 Support the RTF in the following ways: 1) Make a donation to the Rising Tide Foundation
You have the absolute dead from the neck up worker drones in DC, in the administration, and their fools in congress and the senate, and the DoD, all fucking maniacs.
I just heard from a cousin visiting me and my wife. She was in Costa Rica, and her one sentence take on Nicaragua was from some tour guide. And, alas, that is just it — “Doesn’t Nicaragua have those two leaders, that husband and wife president and vice president, kooky leaders?”
It would take, well, hours and hours, to explain what propaganda is, even from the lips of a Nicaraguan in Costa Rica making bank by puffing up tourists. Here, I told her about this one I attended the exact day before:
Nicaragua Webinar of July 23, “Why Is Nicaragua Important in Today’s World?” As you’ll recall, the invited speakers for this event were Agustin (Gus) Guerrero, Arturo Nacher, Camila Escalante, Erika Takeo, Danny O’Brien, Larry Fisk, Mairead Skehan Gillis, and Susan Lagos.
All the speakers were members of delegations visiting Nicaragua for the 44th anniversary of the Revolution. They offered firsthand observations of:
~ The July 19 festivities
~ Tours of hospitals & clinics
~ Visits to renewable energy & agroecology projects
~ Interchanges with Afro-descendant and indigenous communities
~ Meetings with government officials
~ Meetings with labor unions
Here is the link to the full webinar recording: Simple, boring, real, informative, and clarifying. Check out Camila Escalante, Kawsachun News!
Again, just stuck in our bubble after bubble, reading and listening to the Mainstream and Sort of Left Stream News, and everything in between, well well, up is DOWN, and war is PEACE, and the world goes better with Coke and Phillip Morris.
But again, the USA world is set to flame up, but not until we ponder the bullshit UFO stories, and a not-whistlerblower saying UFOs have been captured for years and years, and, the fires, man, the fires. “The dangers of wildfires in Greece are far from over and could disrupt travel for a while to come.
More than 20,000 people, many of them tourists, have been evacuated from Rhodes alone, and the U.S. Embassy & Consulate in Greece and Greek authorities warn the risk of wildfire remains “very high” for the rest of the country.
“We are going through perhaps the toughest days of the summer with the temperatures showing a further increase,” Hellenic Fire Service Fire Col. Ioannis Artopios said in a statement Tuesday. “We all remain in a state of high alert.”
Hopeful travelers may be considering adding travel insurance to upcoming trips to the islands, but it may be too late.”
Fuck, we are doomed: Here are the 5 most memorable moments from Congress’ UFO hearing: Former military officials made a series of mystifying claims about unidentified aerial phenomena, under oath, during Wednesday’s congressional hearing.
Asked by Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., to substantiate the crashed UAPs claim, the former intelligence official said he could not divulge specific details, once again claiming the information was too sensitive to share with the public.
He did, however, describe the nature of what he saw: “I have to be very careful here … [but] what I personally witnessed, myself and my wife, was very disturbing.”
A Pentagon spokesperson told NBC News that Grusch’s claims are false.
