People keep telling me that Africa can't develop because of foreign meddling.  The West interferes, they say. The colonizers won't let us rise. Let me tell you about Vietnam. The United States bombed Vietnam for nearly a decade.  They dropped 7.5 million tons of bombs, which is more than three times what was dropped during all of World War II. Entire provinces were flattened.  They sprayed millions of gallons of Agent Orange that poisoned the land and the people for generations.  After the war, America broke its promise to provide reconstruction aid and pressured international institutions to deny Vietnam any loans or assistance. The country was left isolated, embargoed, and devastated. In 1986, Vietnam was on the brink of collapse.  Inflation had hit 700 percent and farmers were starving. If any nation had the right to blame foreign powers for its misery and give up, it was Vietnam. Instead, they changed their policies. They launched reforms called Doi Moi that legalized private enterprise, welcomed foreign investment, gave farmers land rights, and opened up to global trade.  Within a decade, the economy was growing at 7 percent per year and poverty was cut in half.  Today, Vietnam's GDP per capita has grown from under $100 in 1990 to over $4,000. Poverty dropped from 60 percent to under 5 percent. Major companies are now moving their factories from China to Vietnam. This is a country that was literally bombed flat by a superpower, poisoned, and abandoned.  And they still found a way to prosper because they were willing to change their economic system. So when I hear Africans say we can't develop because of meddling, I want to ask: what meddling post-colonialism compares to what Vietnam went through? We weren't bombed like that. We weren't poisoned like that. We weren't embargoed like that.  What we have for the most part are governments that refuse to create the conditions for entrepreneurs to thrive, and leaders who benefit from keeping us poor and dependent. Foreign meddling is real, and it happens to every poor country on earth.  It's not unique to Africa. It's what the powerful do to the weak, and every major power plays that game.  The only escape is to become prosperous enough that you can stand on your own feet, and that requires economic freedom. Wake up Africa!

Absolute bombshell. Prominent journalist Yasmin Khan exposes how an unelected Zionist fundraiser with zero government background has completely infiltrated US Senator John Fetterman's office. This unofficial handler secretly orchestrates sensitive foreign meetings.
