In the crowded ranks of vacuous European apparatchiks serving to uphold the non-electable status quo ante, @SecGenNATO stands tall as an example of a scarecrow dressed up in an expensive, yet infinitely boring suit. His head so devoid of thought, birds avoid nesting in it.

Walter Rodney, the author of the must-read book “How Europe Underdeveloped Africa”, was assassinated in 1980, at the age of 38 for his authorship in exposing the predatory corporatocracy model of Western development.
His account completely upends the mental model we have been sold, which places countries with the least resources and countries with the least morals at the top of the world economic food chain under the guise of a nonexistent mental superiority.
Rodney highlights the "scissors" effect of colonial trade, where the price of African raw materials was kept low while the price of European manufactured goods rose.
• Example (Groundnuts): He notes that in the 1930s, a farmer in French West Africa had to produce three times more groundnuts to buy the same amount of imported cloth as he did fifteen years earlier.
• The Logic: This ensured that African labor remained cheap while European industrial profits soared, creating a cycle of permanent debt and poverty.
And this intentional suppression and undervaluation African labour and resources was done through many inhumane practices detailed in yet another must read book “Confession of an economic hitman”.
The African enablers of these models are still here today. They encourage the neocolonialist to pillage Africa by enacting the agenda of the west but with a Black skin. And these subservient African leaders are often eloquent but utterly nonsensical, and they are almost all leaders of western approved “democracies” that have overstayed their maximum terms.
Peace to Walter Rodney, may his words carry us through the new African liberation.

As far as I can tell, the "special relationship" between the US and UK boils down to the UK being willing to do genocide and war crimes alongside the US, no questions asked. It is a pact among brutes, for naked imperialist violence, and it should be destroyed forever.

🇮🇷 A supermarket in Iran has posted a handwritten sign on its door:
"No worries, if you need something, take it. After the war, bring the money."
The people of Iran are under bombardment, under sanctions, under economic collapse, and they are feeding each other.

The weaponization of our attention economy by the Pentagon.

Massive bombshell! Abby Martin reveals the Pentagon has a Hollywood office that literally dictates and oversees the scripts of movies, TV shows, and documentaries. If you want military figures on screen, the US military gets full editorial control. Pure propaganda!
