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.

Making Sense of Homo Naledi – Emails & Notes! (22.8.2023)

For some reason, the US freelance team dealing with this find are deliberately providing disinformation when rhetorically describing their finds (in an apparent attempt to boost financial gain through the encouragement of sentimentality). The mainstream academics featured in the above video – are correct in their criticism and approach. The ‘No Hypothesis’ must predominate if reliable ‘objective’ science is to be established, maintained and developed. The opposite is the ‘Yes Hypothesis’ found in religion and dogmatic philosophy and ideology. Merely believing that something ‘exists’ (or ‘operates’) in the physical world does not make it so. Simply ‘desiring’ or ‘wanting’ something to be a certain way in the interior of the mind – does NOT make it so in the (outer) material world (developed through cause and effect) in any way!

China: Ministry of State Security Reveals US Infiltration of Huawei Dates Back to 2009! (21.9.2023)

Recently, China’s National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center reported that during the handling of a cyberattack case on NPU, they successfully extracted a spyware sample called Second Date, which is a network spy weapon developed by the NSA and operates covertly in thousands of network devices spread across multiple countries worldwide.

The MSS stressed that cyberspace is increasingly becoming a new battlefield for safeguarding national security. Without cybersecurity, there is no national security, and no stable operation of the economy and society, while the interests of the general public are also difficult to guarantee. The MSS called for solidarity to strengthen security awareness, and to enhance security capabilities, so as to jointly safeguard cybersecurity.

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.

Are Russell Brand & Neil Oliver the Same Person? (20.9.2023)

A creepy coincidence – and probably a marker of an insufficiently ‘disguised’ script – is the fact that both ‘individuals’ like to sit in-front of film cameras and make angst ridden diatribes – imagining that although the room they are sat in is completely ’empty’ – somewhere out there are millions of adoring fans just hanging on every word! A particularly ‘cruel’ jibe aimed at Oliver by some anonymous YouTubers is that he appears to be suffering from the early signs of cerebral palsy – as he continuously ‘leans’ to his right when on camera. Others suggest the malady is ‘Dystonia’ – and he is between injections!

Xinhua Headlines: Unscrupulous Cyber Spying Sheds Light on US Hegemonic Paranoia! (20.9.2023)

According to Campbell, in 1994, the NSA shared relevant information with an American competitor of the European consortium Airbus, helping it secure a 6-billion-U.S.-dollar contract with Saudi Arabia instead of Airbus.

Another case raised by Campbell suggests that U.S. company Raytheon used NSA intelligence to win a 1.4-billion-dollar contract for radar systems supply to Brazil, defeating France’s Thomson-CSF.

Meanwhile, the United States has been working to militarize cyberspace, develop offensive cyber capabilities, and create systematic cyberattack platforms.

In 2017, cyberspace was officially listed alongside the sea, land, air, and space as the “fifth domain” of the U.S. military.

Militarization of the kind will exacerbate the risk of direct military conflict and can lead to unpredictable consequences, Andrey Krutskikh, former director of the Department of International Information Security at the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has noted.
