"An estimated 90,000 Kenyans were slaughtered in the Kikuyu uprising while just over a thousand were hanged on a portable gibbet. Some 160,000 were detained in internment camps where torture was routine.

"One of Britain’s victims was US President Barack Obama’s paternal grandfather, Hussein Onyango Obama, who was arrested in 1949, and tortured by having pins inserted under his fingernails."

Kitson brought to Belfast his experiences in Kenya, fighting the Kikuyu Land and Freedom Army (exotically dubbed the “Mau Mau” by the British) in the early 1950s where he honed a practice of using “turned” or “converted” rebels into “counter-gangs”.

"The battle of the Bogside was an important catalyst for change, triggering a determined British government intervention that ended the unionist monopoly on power. But it also marked the beginning of 30 years of violent conflict that would claim the lives of more than 3,600 people and bring untold suffering."

"In 1981 's post office issued a stamp showing the flags of India & occupied flying side by side above the phrase “Solidarity with the people.” That now seems like ancient history. Today Hindu are flying the flags of India & Israel side by side as a demonstration of their support for that country’s catastrophic war on ... because the 2 nations have similar “problems” they’re trying to “solve"."

The era of the world is over🙏🏽. While straggling ultra still berate anyone for failing to have a PhD in Middle-Eastern Studies to have the right to express views on Israel’s behaviour against civilians, Israel is badly losing broad public opinion. Just TODAY, singers and Easkey Britton used their platform to express solidarity with & . Never have I witnessed such widespread popular support

In Suits Are Now In Positions of Power

"I believe that the Bible makes it very clear that God is the one who puts people in power. He raised you all up, and I believe that God planned and allowed each of us to be here at this very moment in time. This is what I think."

This was the most important part of Rep. Mike Johnson’s acceptance speech last week after being chosen Speaker of the House.

"Mike Johnson is Dangerous!"

White Nationalists Are Big Fans of Elon’s “White Genocide” Tweets

Elon Musk made his most brazen overture to white nationalists yet on Monday, tweeting about the “white genocide” conspiracy theory in South Africa.

“In 2016 South African white genocide was a fringe issue—now, the richest man in the world, who also owns Twitter, is drawing attention to it. Things are moving in the right direction!”

    I don't see the invasion threat as either vague or far-distant.

    My mental model/scenario is chiefly based on these six points:

    1. Xi's profile

    2. Chinese history and current tendencies

    3. India

    4. Arms deals

    5. Europe

    6. Cyberwarfare

    7. will never back down from the "" policy, though it is no "reunification," as their false narrative goes. It is supposed to be his legacy.
