Part One: On The Road To War For years, from Mali to Afghanistan, I worked for peace and risked my life for it.

Donald Yamamoto, recently the U.S. Ambassador to Somalia who just retired this year, to TPLF official Berhane Gebre-Christos: “Abiy is not listening… Obasanjo has not been extraordinary helpful or very active, and so are there any other opportunities that you see?” Vicki Huddleston, former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for African Affairs and US Assistant […]

It Expands At The Expense Of The Native Population. The Onus Is Not On Colonial Powers To Behave Themselves, But On The Rest Of The World To Hold Them Accountable.

Saturday marked the thirtieth anniversary of the German Democratic Republic’s incorporation into the Federal Republic of Germany, with the event becoming a key landmark in ending the Cold War. The West’s triumphalist attitude in the wake of German reunification was a major mistake which the world continues to pay for today, Gregor Gysi, president of the Party of the European Left, and prominent politician from the Die Linke (‘The Left’) party in the Bundestag, has suggested. “The West could not stop winning, and assumed that everything would continue as it had before. This was a serious mistake, the consequences of which […]

New reports indicate that 2020 presidential campaign latecomer and Birthday Party (BDY) nominee Kanye West is receiving assistance from at least four individuals who have previously maintained close ties to the Republican Party and GOP politics. Vice News revealed Tuesday evening that Lane Ruhland, “an experienced GOP operative with ties to President Trump’s campaign,” was the individual seen submitting signature papers to the Wisconsin Elections Commission building in Madison, Wisconsin. While Ruhland, who entered the building after regular office hours, declined to provide comment on how many signatures she was able to receive for West’s presidential campaign, Wisconsin law requires “a […]
Kanye West was in tears. After pleading for George Soros to call him and questioning the legacy of Harriet Tubman, the musical maestro-turned-entrepreneur’s kick-off speech to his “presidential campaign” in South Carolina took a turn for the worrisome as West tackled the topic of abortion.

He said he had a vision from God to keep the child, before drawing […]

Bearing a certain resemblance to some of his SpaceX rockets, Elon Musk’s word of support for Kanye West’s presidential bid appears to have turned backward. “We may have more differences of opinion than I anticipated”, Musk said in a now-deleted post, as suggested by screenshots eagerly shared by Twitterians on Thursday. The tech entrepreneur was thus caught […]
