Ghana: President Urges UN to Consider Reparations for Slave Trade! (22.9.2023)

“Reparations must be paid for the slave trade,” Akufo-Addo said to an eruption of applause.

“No amount of money will ever make up for the horrors, but it would make the point that evil was perpetrated, that millions of productive Africans were snatched from the embrace of our continent, and put to work in the Americas and the Caribbean without compensation for their labor,” he said.

He also called for the illicit flow of funds from Africa to be returned to the continent.

While the current picture on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals “is not very bright,” Akufo-Addo expressed the hope that “it is within our capacity to turn things around.”

A good start would be to make the needed changes to the structures of the United Nations, “then we can rebuild trust and reignite global solidarity,” he said.

Russell Brand: A Short Study in the Superficiality of ‘White’ (Male) Privilege & Sexual Decadence! (21.9.2023)

Of course, his sexual behaviour is not unique to him, or even to men and women. Wealth, adulation and privilege only adds to this situation. Every so often – the hypocritical (Bourgeois) media manufacture or pursue a self-righteous drive to build revenue through intensified public interest (basic capitalist economics). A media star badly behaving is the best and most lucrative type of ‘copy’. The strong ‘witch-hunt’ element to this media attack on Russell Brand does not placate or justify Brand’s behaviour – anymore than it justifies the generally poor and deceptive behaviour of the mainstream press. Should Brand end up in prison – his social media presence will vanish. The above should act as an archive to Russell Brand’s duplicity and explain how he did attempt to appeal to the left – before firmly rejecting it for his own version of inverted thinking and anti-intellectualism.

US: Death of 53 Migrants in 2022 – 4 Charged in Texas 18-Wheeler Horror! (19.9.2023)

The tractor trailer with a fake plate was carrying 67 migrants when it was found on Monday, Francisco Garduno Yanez, head of Mexico’s National Immigration Institute, said at a press conference on Wednesday.

There was no sign of water in the refrigerated tractor-trailer and no visible working air conditioning unit, according to San Antonio Fire Chief Charles Hood. Those found alive were hot to the touch and suffering from heat stroke and exhaustion.

Temperatures in San Antonio climbed to 101 degrees Fahrenheit (38.3 degrees centigrade) on Monday, while the heat in the packed trailer was likely way higher than that, according to the U.S. National Weather Service.

Exposing the UK Fascism of ‘Thomas Joseph Hampson’ – Decoding ‘CodComedyTJ’! (28.7.2023)

If any of the above is true, this means that ‘TJ’ is simply attempting to raise more finance for his personal usage whilst effortlessly dining-out on his previous (and ‘apparent’) Neo-Nazi past! What the reader must take into consideration is that the far-right movement is riddled with self-doubt, paranoia and self-destructive tendencies. TJ, whoever this Mancunian is, is now viewed as a once famous streamer of the far-right – who might well be a ‘Fed’ – or someone working for the ‘Federal’ government!

Congo: Children Bagged-Up and Ready for Collection! (25.7.2023)

The children are ‘brainwashed’ to co-operate in their own enslaving and abuse. Many of these adult women may well have been victims of sex-trafficking themselves and are repeating the cycle of abuse they experienced as a child. If the Colonial treatment of the Congo population (by the Belgians) is studied (which involved the routine hacking-off of hands and feet) – then placing children in bags ‘unhurt’ is considered comparatively ‘harmless’ to the local Congo people – regardless of how shocking such practices may seem to the contemporary Western observer.

World Insights: Fentanyl – Solely A Homegrown US problem – So Why Blame China? (19.7.2023)

CHEAP, ABUNDANT STREET DRUGS

Fentanyl and its derivatives sufentanil, alfentanil and remifentanil are all synthetic phenypiperidine drugs, which are synthetic opioid receptor agonists.

A painkiller for countless patients, fentanyl has many side effects. The drug has gradually become a menace to social security across the United States, a society long plagued by opioid addiction and abuse.

Statistics by the Council on Foreign Relations in April indicated that opioids, primarily fentanyl, are the leading cause of U.S. overdose deaths, which have roughly quadrupled over the last ten years for which data is fully available. In 2021, the death toll surged to 80,411, more than 10 times the number of U.S. military service members killed in the post-9/11 wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

There have been three waves of opioid abuse in U.S. society, with fentanyl being the “main character” of the third wave.
