Great Zimbabwe was built between the 11th and 15th centuries. Massive stone enclosures. Walls 11 meters high. 250 meters in circumference. Built without mortar, with such precision that the walls have stood for centuries. A thriving city that at its height housed 18,000 people. A trading hub connected to Swahili Coast networks that moved gold, ivory, and goods as far as China. When European explorers encountered it in the 19th century, they did not ask: who built this? They asked: who built this that wasn’t African? The theories came quickly. Phoenicians. Arabs. A lost white civilization. King Solomon. The Queen of Sheba. Literally anyone except the people who had been living in and around it for centuries and whose oral histories described exactly who built it and when and why. It took until the 20th century, and a British archaeologist named David Randall-MacIver working against enormous institutional resistance, to formally establish what the people who lived there had never forgotten: Africans built it. Africans built it. The refusal to accept that was not ignorance. It was integral to the colonial narrative that justified ruling and dispossessing Africans while declaring them incapable of the very achievements their ancestors had left standing in stone. The ruins were African. The myth that denied their origins was colonial.

The crime scene in the Congo. The crime scene in the Niger Delta. The crime scene in the Sahel. The crime scene in Sudan. They are not separate crimes. They are the same crime in different phases. The phase where the extraction was called colonialism. The phase where the extraction was called "development." The phase where the extraction is called "investment." The phase where the extraction is called the "green transition." The product changes. The phone. The car. The battery. The solar panel. The child in the mine does not change. The armed group protecting the access route does not change. The government that will be destabilized if it demands a fair price does not change. The international institution that will cut off funding if the terms are renegotiated does not change. The academic who measures the output of the system and attributes it to the biology of the people inside it does not change.

There is a tidy version of John Healey. St Peter's School, York. Christ's College, Cambridge. Twenty nine years in Parliament. Now the Chancellor, signing the cheques, setting the budget, deciding what you are allowed to keep. There is another version. It is not tidy. In 1997 he took a Rotherham seat. For the sixteen years that followed, in the streets he represented and the schools he walked past, fourteen hundred girls were being passed around by men the state had quietly decided not to notice. Some of them twelve. One was doused in petrol and told to burn if she talked. He was their MP. He had a seat, a voice, a vote, and the standing to make a noise. He made none. In 2012 the Times finally broke it and demanded an inquiry. His own website still carries the verdict. He had an open mind. He was "not convinced this would help the abused girls." Not convinced. Fourteen hundred of them. One of the few men in the country who could have forced the truth out, and he wanted more time. Then he sued the woman who said so. A UKIP MEP, Jane Collins, accused him and two colleagues of knowing and doing nothing. They took her to court and won. Fifty four thousand pounds each. Healey pocketed his. He did not give it to the girls. He kept it. He had been called out for inaction and he turned it into income. The pattern held. Forty thousand pounds from two donors whose addresses the register lists only as "private," while he lectured Farage on secret money. His own council tax, on his own second home, unpaid, an administrative error, and he meant to claim the fifteen hundred back from you while his party took the winter fuel payment from millions of pensioners. Then, in June, he resigned as Defence Secretary with a letter that buried Keir Starmer. Six weeks later Starmer was gone. Burnham moved in. And Burnham made Healey Chancellor. The knife went in. The chair was warm. The reward was the Treasury. Now he wants to tax the banks, because a war abroad has emptied the purse and the IMF has told him to cut spending instead. He has run out of other people's money and he is going through the City's sofa cushions. Meanwhile the legacy gathers dust. The Child Trust Fund, his idea, one point six billion pounds of children's own money left to rot in forgotten accounts while the City takes a hundred million a year in fees. Housing, where he decided families renting rather than owning was "a good thing." A children's charity he vouched for, whose founder was later convicted of child sexual abuse. In Rotherham. Of course. The girl who was twelve is thirty seven now. She lives with it every day. He was not convinced her rape was worth an inquiry. And now he decides how much of your money you keep. That is the Chancellor.

The idiot’s guide to states – and their ‘rights’: 1. States exist. Some 200 of them. 2. States are the political arrangement in which a people express their self-determination. That arrangement can and does change. 3. States enjoy rights, but only against each other. They have the right, for example, not to face unprovoked aggression from another state. 4. No state has some enduring, abstract “right” to exist. Otherwise bad ones like apartheid South Africa would be unreformable. 5. Peoples, by contrast, do have a right to exist. That’s why states that commit apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide are so gravely violating international law. Because they are violating a people’s right to exist. 6. When people argue Israel has a “right” to exist, they are trying to dupe you into believing international law is fine with apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide. It isn’t. For obvious reasons, international law prefers the rights of peoples over those of states. Otherwise, no state could ever be illegitimate. Its rights would trump those of the people it rules over. 7. When someone refuses to agree that Israel has a “right” to exist, they are not being antisemitic, whatever the media keeps telling you. They are upholding international law: the precedence of peoples’ rights over those of states. 8. The claim that Israel has a “right” to exist is not what it seems. It’s really the claim that the current reality of extreme inequality between Israelis and Palestinians be set in stone. It’s the diabolical claim that Israel has a right to commit apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide against the Palestinian people.

News flash: Elon Musk's entire bloodline reads like a Satanic fever dream. His grandfather? Arrested in Canada in 1940 as a leader of Technocracy Incorporated, a movement pushing for a society run by engineers and data instead of people. Literally the system his grandson is building in front of your eyes. His father? Had two kids with his own stepdaughter, a girl he'd helped raise since she was four. His mother? A demonic vessel of a woman who looks like she bathes in adrenochrome and whispers incantations over synthetic embryos. And Elon? At least fourteen kids with four women, all but one confirmed through IVF and surrogacy. Even his reproduction is manufactured. Bloodlines and breeding programs, alive and well. Now look at what he's building. Tesla: the robotaxis, the humanoid robots, the chips. 
SpaceX: the rockets, the satellites, and since February, xAI and its data centers.
xAI: Grok, the white-collar bots that take your job, the platform you talk on, and X Money to pay you after they do.
Neuralink: the chip in your skull. Your car, your work, your money, your speech, your brain. One man. One stack. And you never question it, because every few years there's a Mars mission, a flying Roadster, or some other bs to sell it as progress. This year he became the first trillionaire on Earth. In 2022 he walked a red carpet in a suit of armor called "Devil's Champion," with a Baphomet on his chest and an inverted cross between its horns. He brought his mom. Then he made it his profile picture. Rosemary's Baby meets the Hollywood Casting Couch. And half the world still thinks Captain Brain-Chip is here to save them.

The children of immigrants are not failing to integrate into French society. They are integrating perfectly. They see, with absolute clarity, how France actually works. They see the résumé studies showing identical qualifications getting different callbacks based on the name at the top. They see the stop and search rates. They see which neighborhoods receive which services. They see what their parents sacrificed and what it produced. They see the gap between "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" on the buildings and the lived arithmetic of their daily lives. They are not confused about France. They understand it precisely. When the response to that understanding is rage and refusal, the French establishment calls it a "failure to integrate." What it actually is, is the logical response of people who have integrated completely and don’t like what they found. That’s not an integration problem. That’s an honesty problem.

It's been twelve years since the beautiful and courageous journalist, Serena Shim, was killed in Turkey. That day, a bright light went out in the world. I would love to hear her voice reporting on all that is happening now. Image: english.alarabiya.net/media/…

After WWII, the CIA put Ukrainian Nazi collaborators on its payroll to fight the Soviet Union. And when their armed underground was crushed, the CIA didn't abandon them. It simply shifted the operation from guns to propaganda - and kept funding it for decades. One of the CIA’s key Ukrainian contacts was Mykola Lebed. Poland had sentenced him to death for his role in the 1934 assassination of its interior minister. The Nazis helped him escape and the CIA later brought him to America and handed him a budget of $1,700,000 a year. As the armed resistance faded, the CIA shifted its focus to promoting Ukrainian nationalism and anti-Soviet ideas through books, newspapers, and radio broadcasts. The CIA-funded publishing operation was called Prolog. And looking at what happened after the Soviet Union collapsed, they couldn’t have picked a more fitting name. Turns out it really was just the prologue.

@WestMidSafari Why must someone experience an access problem before you’ll answer questions about your Nimbus policy? The Equality Act 2010 places anticipatory duties on service providers. You’re expected to address barriers BEFORE disabled people encounter them. Response pls

Fox News and some Zionist sites are accusing me of having played a part in last Saturday's Global Palestine Alliance London rally. Yes, I did. Proudly. A tiny part. I wish I had played a larger one. But I was in Athens and could only send this video - whose text I past below in the interests of full disclosure. Read/watch and judge: Greetings from Athens to the UK Alliance for Palestine. Kudos to all of you for continuing to mobilise against our generation’s greatest crime, our generation’s genocide in Gaza and the systematic state-backed ethnic cleansing and ruthless land seizures in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. As I have said before, if this were the 1930s, we would have only one moral duty: to defend Jewish people from the Nazis. Today, we again have only one moral duty: to defend Palestinian people from Israel. Friends, I am not going to finish this message of solidarity by caressing your ears. I am going to do the opposite. At the risk of upsetting you, I am going to suggest that we stop congratulating ourselves. So far, we have failed. The genocide, the ethnic cleansing, the white-washing of this century’s greatest crime is continuing despite our efforts. Our governments remain utterly complicit. Even when they do some windowdressing, like Andy Burnham sanctioning exports from the Occupied Territories (as if Israel will brand them as such!), they only do it to ENSURE that there is no trade and arms embargo against Israel to force Israel to cease and desist from its genocidal practices. What PM Burnham has done was to take the wind out of our sails by lulling the majority into thinking that there has been a change when there hasn’t been. Look at the way the media are still at it. Copying the playbook that demonised and vilified Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour Party, for ‘insufficient support of Israel’s genocide’, they are applying the same playbook today against Zack Polanski and the Green Party. Wherever we look – if we are honest – we see the evidence of our movement’s failure to dent Israel’s determination to complete its genocide and of our political and economic system’s to lend the Apartheid state a hand. I know: Many of you are tired, after years of campaigning often at high personal cost. But now is not the time to feel the fatigue. Now is the time to do more. To do better. To end genocide, ethnic cleansing and land seizures across Palestine. To make it possible to imagine – not just as a slogan – a Palestine free of Apartheid.

Captain Ibrahim Traoré is the interim president and military leader of Burkina Faso, having seized power during a coup d'état on September 30, 2022... Captain Ibrahim Traoré stood before his people and broke a silence that has lasted for over a thousand years. He spoke about the Arab slave trade. Not in whispers. Not in academic papers. But out loud, in a televised address, to a nation that is overwhelmingly Muslim. "The people came, first the Arab-Muslim conquests. That is over a thousand years of slavery in Africa." He did not stop there. He spoke of men castrated so they could not father children. He said the last slave market did not close until 1962, in Medina. This is not an attack on Islam. Traoré is a Muslim himself. This is an attack on a historical crime that has been buried while the transatlantic slave trade is discussed everywhere. He is saying what the entire continent has been afraid to say: that Africa was enslaved by two systems, and only one of them is allowed to be remembered. The reaction was immediate. Gulf states were furious. Some Muslim clerics called it Islamophobic. But Traoré was not finished. He also announced that Burkina Faso would recall hundreds of students studying Sharia law in Arab countries, warning that some return with teachings incompatible with national cohesion. He said the state is secular, and no religious law—including Islamic law—will govern it. Why does this matter? Because the Sahel is burning. Jihadist groups are killing civilians, and the ideology they use to recruit is a distorted version of the same faith that Traoré himself practices. He is not blaming Islam. He is blaming a radicalism that was imported, funded, and spread from outside Africa. By naming the Arab slave trade, he is severing the spiritual authority that foreign clerics have held over African Muslims for centuries. He asked one question repeatedly during that speech, a question that should be printed on every African schoolbook: "Are we cursed?" His answer is no. Africa is not cursed. Africa was conquered, colonized, and enslaved by two different systems. One from the West, one from the East. And the only way to break the curse is to name it, teach it, and refuse to let it be silenced any longer. #archaeohistories

In 1979, the Carter administration began funding and arming Afghan mujahideen fighters to destabilize a Soviet-aligned government, before the Soviet intervention, not in response to it. Zbigniew Brzezinski, Carter’s national security advisor, later confirmed this explicitly and described it as a deliberate strategy to bait the Soviets into their own Vietnam. The operation expanded massively under Reagan. Billions of dollars. Stinger missiles. Saudi co-financing. Pakistani intelligence as the delivery mechanism. One of the organizations that emerged from this infrastructure was al-Qaeda. When September 11th happened, the official American narrative described it as an attack on freedom by forces of pure evil who hated Western civilization for its values. This narrative did not include the chapter where Washington built the network. Did not include the chapter where the weapons were American. Did not include the chapter where Brzezinski, asked about the long-term consequences of his strategy, said the collapse of the Soviet empire was worth "stirring up some Muslims." The bill came due on September 11th, 2001. It was paid by people in office buildings who had never heard of Brzezinski or his strategy. That is what it means to manufacture terror and send the bill to the survivors.

Britain likes to tell the story of the day it abolished slavery. Here is the part that gets left out: on the day the law took effect, almost nobody was actually freed. They were reclassified as "apprentices" and made to keep working for their former owners, unpaid, for another six years. The Slavery Abolition Act took effect on 1 August 1834. Children under six were freed. Everyone else over six became an apprentice bound to the same estate. Field workers owed forty-five hours a week, unpaid, for six years. Domestic workers owed four years. They could be flogged for refusing. Special magistrates were appointed to hear complaints and were frequently the planters' friends. Women could be punished on the treadmill. Meanwhile the owners received twenty million pounds in compensation — a sum so large that Britain borrowed it, and did not finish repaying the loan until 2015. So the arithmetic of British abolition, honestly stated: the enslavers were paid, and the enslaved were required to work another four to six years for nothing. Freedom was not given in 1834. It was scheduled, and then the people it was owed to forced it forward. savvypurchase.samcart.com/pr…

Anyone idiot enough to vote for the Tories after 14 years of utter shithousery should remember a lot of today's issues roll back to this woman. 86% of those in receipt of universal credit are IN WORK. All the Tories care about is the rich and lining their own pockets.
