Africa is Bigger in Reality!

UN: Sane Countries “Vote” To Make Accurate World Maps! (5.9.2026)

I am not convinced “a wrong-sized Africa” was a deliberate racist endeavour. I mean, why bother doing something this petty or ridiculous? Explorers literally used a quill and drew what they saw whilst leaning over the side of a ship (we collectively owe these people so much – with the caveat that the East possessed its map-makers as well). Old maps of the UK look “like the UK” – although the shape is highly distorted whilst remaining mostly correct (the general idea can be worked with). Remember, there was no viewing from high above, except for the odd hill. Let accuracy reign. As regards the UN – it vary rarely condemns the US or Israel for the crimes those regimes routinely commit (the UN has ruled that Israel is committing “Genocide” in Gaza – but only after South Africa initiated legal action against Tel Aviv) – and when both these countries illegally attacked Iran – the UN criticised Iran for daring to “defend itself”. When the US bombed a school and murdered 168 school-girls (more than the number of countries that voted for the map-change) – the UN said “nothing”. When the US bombed a wedding in Iran – the UN said “nothing”. It would seem that the “moral compass” of the UN needs fixing.

Cuba: An International School for Health & Hope! (3.9.2026)

At the end of this academic year, Cuban universities delivered 30,185 new professionals to the country and the world. Engineers, architects, pedagogues, scientists, nurses, technologists… Young people who have sweated in the classrooms, who have studied with just the right resources, who have overcome fatigue and adversity to become what this country needs to move forward.

Among those 30,185 there are 735 young people from 62 countries. Students who came from all continents – Africa, Latin America, Asia, Europe – who shared desks with Cubans, who learned our language, our medicine, our solidarity, our way of understanding life as service. Who return to their lands with a degree and, also, with a way of seeing the world that is not taught in any manual.

And among them, two figures should make the blindest pause: 23 new Palestinian doctors.

Young people who will return to their land – a land that burns under bombs and rubble – not with weapons in their hands, but with stethoscopes around their necks. With the knowledge to save lives in the place in the world where it is most needed. With the ethics that Cuban medicine instills: first the human being, then everything else.

Tribal Circumcision Costs Lives!

South Africa: Annual [Traditional] Tribal Circumcision Kills 48 Boys! (31.8.2026)

Within Judaism, Males are circumcised by Rabbis just after birth – with the Rabbi often filmed “sucking” the cut penis to stem the flow of blood. Christians reject this (racist) practice – but Islam continues it for boys. Midwives in the UK report FGM as it is illegal and requires specialist medical treatment. The women are granted various types of corrective surgery on the NHS. As for men subjected to genital mutilation – NOTHING happens – as the practice is protected under laws used to prevent anti-Semitism and Islamo-phobia. Even a Rabbi sucking a baby’s circumcised penis is considered “exempt” from sexual abuse laws (videos of this practice can be found on YouTube). In Africa, certain tribes allow their boys to reach 12-years old and then a Medicine Man (Shaman) uses a rusty razor-blade to cut=off the fore-skin. I can find articles for nearly every year going back ten-years that highlight dozens of boys dying from shock, infection, and side-effects of this operation inflicted without pain-killer, cleanliness, or follow-up medical care. When South Africa hosted the 2010 FIFA World Cup – often young oxen were taken into football stadiums and then kicked and stamped to death by young tribal men. When complaints were made about this barbarous ritual – the South African government retorted with the counter allegation of “racism”. And here we are

Mozambique: Socialist Chinese Doctors Perform Free Cleft Surgeries for Children! (8.7.2026)

Zheng Qian, a professor at the West China Hospital of Stomatology, said the Chinese team arrived in Maputo on June 27 and had completed all 21 operations by July 6. Some of the children underwent second-stage corrective surgery that noticeably improved the shape of their lips and noses. 

The head of the dental department at Maputo Central Hospital praised the Chinese doctors’ professionalism and their close cooperation with local staff, adding that the program also gave Mozambican surgeons a chance to learn advanced techniques. The mother of one young patient said the operation would improve her daughter’s speech and breathing and help restore her confidence.

Jazz Fusion in the Confederacy

CSA: Jazz – An Interesting Assessment of “Black Freedom” in the Post-Confederate Period! (4.6.2026)

He had come from the British colony of the West Indies – and was surprised to observe how cognitively undeveloped the slave population was in America. In the West Indies the British had established “Re-Education Camps” which all former-slaves had to be held within. They were daily taught how to read and write, how to count, and how to civilly interact with one another (and other people). They were taught cleanliness and hygiene, etc. This included medical understanding and religious practice (Protestant Christianity). When each individual successfully passed all the sets tests and examinations – they were declared a “Free Citizen” and released into general society. Another way of gaining this status was to join the British Army and serve in Africa for the UK government. Men who survived 20-years gained British Citizenship and the right to settle in England as an Englishman – a great honour. Jefferson Davis wanted a phased reduction and abolition of slavery once the sovereign status of each State had been decided. He certainly had no intention of extending or preserving the institution – but you can see from the above quote that the North preserved slavery well into the 20th century – but gave it a thin-veneer of a faux “freedom”. Just as Davis promised the Native Americans their own country – he promised all Black men who supported the Confederacy “Freedom” and “Citizenship”. Because the North did not bother to transition the former slave populations – America is today riddled with all kinds of sociological ills. As matters stand, a “forced” assimilation does not seem to be working.
