Imperialism 2.0: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix [Caitlin Johnstone]

Image
DECEMBER 13, 2020 AUTHOR: CAITLIN JOHNSTONE The new imperialism doesn’t look like old-school ground invasions, it looks like multi-front cold wars, economic warfare, blockades and starvation sanctions, drone strikes, arming proxy militias, CIA-backed coups, sprawling tech surveillance networks, mass psyops of unprecedented sophistication and narrative management systems to facilitate them. Peace activists need to be looking in this direction, especially as the US gets a new Secretary of State who  advocates this exact approach  to imperialism. Imperialism 2.0 is designed to operate so invisibly we don’t even notice it’s happening. No mass troop deployments, no flag-draped bodies flying home in planes, and (they hope) no potent antiwar movement in response to it. In the new imperialism there are still troops deployed all over the world, but they’re there with the “permission” of the puppet regimes they installed and they exist primarily to protect the infrastructure of the invi...

African Identity and Culture: Who We Are [ Dr Mathole Motshekga]

Image
Great nations, past and present rooted their nationhood in their heritage whether real or imagined. The heritage of a people is their roots. A nation is like a tree. It cannot grow and sustain itself without roots. That’s why primal or ancient African communities venerated trees such as the Baobab, sycamore or fig tree. They also claimed that they evolved from the trunk of the tree or the lotus flower. The Baobab tree for instance was known as the Tree of the Great Aunt (a reference to the moon (maia or the planet Venus (Nehanda or Masase) as the universal mother of all humanity.  Both the moon and the Venus are emanations of the Sun (Ra). The Sun was therefore regarded as the King (Faro) or God of light.  The Sun (Ra) was regarded as the physical manifestation as the God of light. The spiritual aspects of human beings were regarded as rays of the spiritual Sun (Kara) known as God. The primal African culture was therefore called the regal culture and their belief s...

The De-Colonisation of The African is Long Overdue [Joshua Maponga]

Image
ZIM  (Zimbabgwe Indigenous Movement) Part 4 We are the solution!  Season for change. “The hands of Esau but the voice is of Jacob” Afrikans have  to reclaim their lost identity and stop feeling like Afrikans but speaking like Europeans. The reality is “we have been captured totally captured, our stomachs and minds are full of colonial substances and viruses . The struggle we Face now is to  try and  solve Afrikan problems with European solutions. (Breast feeding with a plastic straw) Oh that my Afrikan countries can think like Afrikans (usage of mental faculties) feel like Afrikans (hearts/passion be for Afrikan products and lifestyle) and act (hands/action be) like Afrikans do it for Afrika. The trap is that our economy and academia has become a colonial regime with black snobs now protecting a white legacy trying to access “Esau’s estate with Jacob’s schemes” ( a schizophrenic bipolar governance/political/economic/cultural disorder. Afrika is a lan...

Obama passed laws to target to anti-imperialist anti-government media and information

Image
Four years ago, Obama passed a law giving the government a loophole to directly target anti-imperialist media within the U.S. through an agency called the Global Engagement Center. Biden will exploit this loophole to the fullest extent. WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Rob Portman (R-OH) and Chris Murphy (D-CT) today announced that their Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act – legislation designed to help American allies counter foreign government propaganda from Russia, China, and other nations – has passed the Senate as part of the FY 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Conference Report. The bipartisan bill, which was introduced by Senators Portman and Murphy in March, will improve the ability of the United States to counter foreign propaganda and disinformation by establishing an interagency center housed at the State Department to coordinate and synchronize counter-propaganda efforts throughout the U.S. government. To support these efforts, the bill a...

A German Muslim scholar when he was asked about TERRORISM and Islam. He said. "Who started the first world war? Not Muslims!! Who started the second world war? Not Muslims!! Who killed 6 million Jews in the Holocaust ? Not Muslims. Who killed about 20 millions of Aboriginal people in Australia ? Not Muslims!! Who dropped the nuclear bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Not Muslims!! Who killed more than 100 millions of Red Aboriginal people in North America?  Not Muslims!! Who killed more than 50 million of  south American Aboriginal people? Not Muslims!!

Report: Video shows Australian SAS soldier shooting and killing unarmed man at close range in Afghanistan

Image
Shocking video shows Australian SAS soldier shooting and killing unarmed man at close range in Afghanistan Reuters has already reported how Australia's SAS murdered at least 39 innocent civilians in Afghanistan. These senseless soldiers are the product of a national war cultism that has been cultivated and  promoted by the worst of the worst politicians, such as the likes of  ex prime ministers John Howard and Julia Gillard with backing of  the Murdoch media empire. These are war crimes and should be prosecuted!  Video shows Australian SAS soldier shooting and killing unarmed man at close range in Afghanistan So you would think the Australian government is prosecuting the culprits for war crimes, but no, they are prosecuting the brave whistle-blower, Major David McBride @MurdochCadell.  No top brass held to account. No ministers answerable. See Twitter subthreads:  ➡️https://t.co/Kt1ADqJaeJ ➡️https://t.co/dOx5FlNRkd ⤵️https://t.co/pgvgYB1gBM Ima...
