FULL CIRCLE

       84 years ago today, Americans picked up the morning newspaper and saw this story in the headlines:

     For those who graduated from public schools and universities: the significance of that event was the start of World War 2. Like our Pentagon today, the Polish military was totally unprepared, though they knew that war was likely. They had beaten the Russians in war about 20 years earlier, believed they were invincible; resting on their laurels it never occurred to them to upgrade or that other countries might have studied their plans and worked out counter-strategies. The Polish people likewise were over-confident and warnings that they were falling well behind Germany fell on deaf ears. The war lasted about a month, and Poland ended up annexed to the Third Reich.

    The United States entered the war in 1941, though it was Soviet troops who liberated Poland. There are only a few Americans left who remember the Second World War. It was actually my grandparents' generation who participated in it, and the great-grandparents' of a lot of my younger associates.  Poland was badly handled by the Nazi occupiers; their ultimate plan was Ethnic Cleansing of the Polish people and resettlement of Germans in the area with high-tech 'wonder cities' and farms. 

    In the eight and a half decades since, where are we today? When the war ended, Allied powers formed the United Nations and vowed "Never Again!" So far, we haven't had a Third World War, but the main fear of mid-Century thinkers was the possibility that the kinds of ideologies which brought about the War and the Holocaust could resurface as memories of the historical events passed. We are now nearly a quarter of the way into the 21st Century, and a cursory examination of conditions in the contemporary United States ought to give us pause.

    We've documented here many times that the death-rates among children and young adults is skyrocketing, along with infertility rates and infant mortality. Among those of us in middle-age groups, the same problems are present: and all of these can be traced directly to narcotics and unsafe additives in foods, water, and medicines---many of which are banned in other countries. We don't call this genocide, we call it 'population control' and even good business practices. On top of this, we are taught that Abortion and Euthanasia of the unwanted and unfit are fundamental human rights. 

     In our schools and workplaces, ideology is promoted above merit or intelligence. Roaming gangs of American youth smash store-windows, beat up undesirables, tear down monuments and destroy churches and other symbols of our culture. Cancel Culture---the polite, politically-correct term for censorship and intimidation is actively encouraged. One's social media profile can be used to deny employment or admission to schools. Blacklisting, shadowbanning, and deplatforming are carried out with impunity against political dissidents. 

     Our police and legal system have become more politicized and militarized since the end of the last century. Today, there's not even the pretense of justice. Judges are selected for their ideology and not their legal knowledge. We've reached the point today where political candidates are being put on trial via legal witch-hunts; elections and laws are challenged and decided by political Courts. The Law of Rules has replaced the Rule of Law; and politically-charged trials often result in disproportionate sentences, while those charged with crimes deemed Politically Correct are waved off, or end with light sentences. 

     Our foreign policy isn't called 'Irredentism' any longer; it's termed exporting democracy and regime change. 'National Security' is synonymous with US Corporate hegemony to the degree that it is no longer even hidden as to its motives. The 20th Century ended with hegemonic wars and has evolved into Corporate-backed proxy-wars and 'color revolutions' to achieve the same purpose. It's no secret that our so-called 'Allies' and 'partners' are little more than stage-prop governments held up by American bayonets and the threat of economic destitution. 

      At the top of this chain, we have a self-appointed 'Elite' of woke Corporate Oligarchs; the top 10%: in other words, a Master Race who believes itself ordained to initiate a New Order based on their domination of Technology. They control our Government through lobbying, Regulatory Capture, and effective domination of Media and Academia. 

    The fears of our forefathers, in other words, have come true. We are the new Axis. 

   

ANOTHER DEEP STATE DOMINO FALLS IN AFRICA

       While news in the Western Hemisphere continues to be depressing, the news from the Dark Continent of Africa keeps getting better. After a pro-Democracy coup in Niger and the accession of Egypt and Ethiopia to the BRICS Alliance, another military intervention occurred in the oil-rich republic of Gabon. There was jubilation in the city streets as the Gabonese commanders announced that the ruling elite which had ruled the nation since 1957 on behalf of Western interests had been deposed. 

    The news must have come as another shock to the Great Reset fanatics after three other OPEC nations joined the BRICS, and Gabon became the seventh African country since 2021 to eject its puppet-government and reject Western Cultural Imperialism. The provisional government has already demanded that all foreign troops (mostly from France) leave the country, and banned French President Macron as an undesirable alien. 

   Foreign NGOs are likely the next to be ejected. The Gates Foundation, in conjunction with Big Pharma, has been using Gabon (among other African nations) as testing-grounds for various experimental vaccines. The former Gabonese Government was highly aggressive in promoting the dangerous and untested COVID vaxxes. Beyond this, these NGOs have also imposed feminism, legal abortion, and homo 'equality' on the country. This, too, may soon becoming to an end.

   Despite its extensive mineral wealth, two-thirds of Gabon's citizens earn less than $10 per day; half of that number live at bare levels of sustenance and nearly a tenth of the populace don't even have that. About one-sixth of the country is illiterate; and infant mortality rates are high. Such are the blessings of American Exceptionalism; witness the high poverty rate, declining literacy rates, and high infant mortality and infertility rates that Corporate rule has brought to our own country.

   Sadly, unlike our African brothers, the American people seem to have lost the will to resist a long time ago. Drugs, the degrading and dispiriting educational and employment atmosphere, a stupefying media culture: all of these have taken its toll rendering our men effete, coarse, and degenerate. Africans are seeing that their own future will end like our present if they continue on their current trajectory. 

   Will the rest of the African Continent follow suit? A few regimes are doubling-down; but the general trend seems inevitable. The inability of Western hegemons to exert either their military or economic wills have exposed their inherent weakness and emboldened those determined to fight for their liberties. The Great Reset crowd underestimated radically the human will for freedom and dignity. While their hold on the English-speaking world is firm, their visions of global conquest are slipping daily.

    

   

THE SMART CITY ON THE HORIZON

     Here in the Land of the Ameroboob, it shouldn't be any secret that our major cities are in advanced stages of decline, and a few on the verge of collapse. In spite of the rampant crime, the fleeing businesses, the failing schools, the homeless encampments taking over whole neighborhoods, most Americans remain in blissful ignorance that anything is out of the ordinary. The economic overlords who are actually running the United States, however, are not ignorant of the fact. In fact, they're mostly responsible for it. 

   For the last three years at least, we've documented here that the Oligarchs driving the Great Reset have followed a deliberate and intentional policy to let the old cities collapse so they can "build back better" with Smart Cities which they firmly control. The response to such stories was predictable.

From the Left:

 And from the Right:

                    

     And so, this last week when Americans were focused on consigning their offspring to another nine months of public school horrors and the opening of the NFL Season, it's not surprising that few noticed (or cared to notice) a story about the first proposed American Smart City outside the vastated city of San Francisco. 

    "A group of venture capitalists, tech investors and other Silicon Valley elites led by a Goldman Sachs banker plans to build a futuristic megacity in rural Solano County, California, the New York Times reported on Friday. The paper named some of the individuals behind a massive land buy for the project...The buys span 50,000 acres and are worth a total of $800 million, NYT revealed. The eventual goal, according to a survey sent to Solano County residents last week and seen by the San Francisco Standard, was to establish a development with tens of thousands of new homes, a large solar energy farm, orchards with over a million new trees, and over 10,000 acres of new parks and open space.” They forgot to add, of course, contact tracing, ubiquitous public surveillance, and other forms of control. 

   It's hardly a coincidence that Solano County would be the first locality chosen; it is close to San Francisco and Oakland---both cities on the verge of open collapse. The plans have been underway for a long time; as early as 2021, the Tech Lords were working on a proposal for a hostile takeover in Northern Nevada. The people behind the Solano County project include:

  Jan Sramek, an executive with Goldman-Sachs (WEF Top 100 Strategic Partner);

  Reid Hoffman, (WEF member), founder of LinkedIn;

 Marc Andreessen, a 'venture capitalist' who's funnelled billions into mostly media enterprises;

 Michael Moritz (WEF Agenda Contributor) another 'venture capitalist;'

 Laurene Powell Jobs, widow of Steve Jobs of Apple (WEF Partner) head of NGO the Emerson Collective;

 Patrick Collison, Tech Lord, executive of Sequoia Capital (WEF Top 100 Strategic Partner);

 John Collison, brother of the above;

 Nat Friedman, board member of biotech NGO, the Arc Institute and transhumanist/AI research institute, Midjourney.

    Just go on believing, though, that we'll vote our way out of this; that it can't happen here; and that these moneyed Oligarchs don't really mean what they say about the Great Reset. There have been major land purchases by these same kinds of people, such as the Gates Foundation's purchase of 25,000 acres near Phoenix for a proposed 'smart city' last year, with other Oligarchs putting together similar plans. They're already moving on to Phase II while most Americans seem intent upon simply phasing out. 

   

    

WHERE DO CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVES ACTUALLY STAND?

       A few months ago, we posed a question to Christian Conservatives which got no answers other than from one who agreed with the point we were making. The article then concerned the policy of some State Governors---most notably Texas Governor Greg Abbott---of loading legal immigrants onto chartered buses, deporting them hundreds or thousands of miles with no provisions, and then dumping them with no notice onto other cities' streets. It seems too that these cities are being chosen specifically for the problems that a sudden influx of refugees would cause; for example New York---which has a shortage of available shelter-space; or Martha's Vineyard, which is a small town of about 15,000 people. 

    The case we cited then was about immigrants being dumped in Philadelphia. With no provisions and no notice for the City to prepare, dozens of people who spoke little to no English were left in the November Winter weather in a high-crime area at 6 AM---three hours before government offices typically even open--- two days before Thanksgiving. Since then, Abbott has managed to exceed even this brutality by dumping hundreds in the sub-freezing snow of Denver; and even on Kamala Harris' front lawn on Christmas. Earlier this month, a toddler died of unknown causes on a bus en route to Chicago. 

    However, Abbott's managed to crown all of his crimes by busing people to Los Angeles. He's up to ten busloads now, but the last two deserve especial mention. The ninth shipment of human cargo was timed to arrive as the well-publicized hurricane struck the city with high winds, flooding, and heavy rains. As the City--- which like New York has a severe housing shortage---began to clean up, a tenth bus arrived with 39 refugees, 21 of whom were children. 

   Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said: “It is evil to endanger the lives of vulnerable migrants by sending a bus with families and toddlers on board to a city that at the time was under an unprecedented tropical storm warning, As I stood with state and local leaders warning Angelenos to stay safe and brace themselves for the worst of the coming storm, the Governor of Texas sent families and toddlers straight for us on a path through extreme weather conditions. If anybody understands the danger of hurricanes and thunderstorms, it’s the Governor of Texas – who has to deal with this threat on an annual basis. This is a despicable act beyond politics."

    So, I think that it's not out of place to ask again: would any Conservative who prates ad nauseum about Christian values care to defend Abbott's treatment of these migrants (most of whom BTW came from predominately Christian nations themselves) on anything like Christian grounds? 

     From a political standpoint, if what Abbott is doing was being done in any other country than the exceptional United States, it would be called what it actually is: Ethnic Cleansing. Abbott's bosses in the Bush Machine exempted US officials (for obvious reasons) from being indicted for crimes like that internationally, though they freely employ it against other world leaders on the flimsiest of pretexts. However, this doesn't preclude Congress from convening a Tribunal; and here we have a far more egregious abuse of power and blatant disregard for human rights than the ridiculous 'Jan 6th Insurrection' farce. 

    The leadership of the Republican Party needs to deal with this. They either need to come up with a moral justification for it, or bring Abbott and his cohorts before a Senate Tribunal on charges of Crimes Against Humanity. They can't have it both ways. It's likely that they'll do nothing, though, as their disregard for human life seems to extend to even so-called 'Moderates.' 

   Of course, I think that we all realize by now that the Republican Party is simply Controlled Opposition---which is probably the reason why the Democrats likewise have taken no action to stop these deportations and likely won't. They cynically understand that the more that so-called 'Conservatives' behave like Nazi barbarians, the better the Left looks to its constituents. Immigrants are much like the native-born in this respect: both groups are simply considered expendable pawns by the so-called 'Elite'; useful tools to be pitted against one another for purposes of political theater. 

   

UMM...OK LET'S TALK ABOUT THE TRUMP DRAMA

      At the close of the last article, the long-awaited Courtroom Drama of the Century was beginning to unfold in the Prozac Nation as the President-in-Exile appeared in Atlanta to submit to the Humiliation Ritual obligatorily imposed upon American citizens who fall into the clutches of our so-called 'Justice System.' I knew that the Whacko Left Wing and the Media were salivating like jackals over the release of the mugshot. So I thought I'd try an experiment. With all of the news-feeds and videos I get, I wondered how long I could go without seeing it?

     I actually made it five hours, though it has to be admitted that time included about a two-hour nap. Then on Friday Morning, this story came out:

     "TRUMP MUGSHOT TURNED INTO MERCH: Shortly after the Fulton County’s Sheriff’s Office released the mugshot on Thursday, marking the first time such a picture has been taken of a former or sitting US president, Donald Trump Jr. posted a message on X (formerly Twitter) announcing new t-shirts, mugs, and posters featuring the former US president’s mugshot along with bold red and white text reading ‘Free Trump’.  A t-shirt costs $29.99, a mug is being sold for $15.99, and a mugshot poster is priced at $19.99...Meanwhile, many Trump supporters on Etsy and other online marketplaces have also jumped on the bandwagon and started selling all kinds of merchandise featuring the mugshot – even thongs."

    Yep---that's American all over! Never mind that political opposition is being jailed in the United States---the big question is: how do we make a quick buck off it? Oh, and thongs too: we can't leave the national obsession with sex out of the equation. Get in on the ground floor quick, everybody! Let's make a new strain of legal pot with the picture on the package too. Maybe Bud Light can make a comeback with the pic on a beer can. 

    I'm surprised that Getty hasn't already grabbed the image and started charging royalty fees. 

   After the ordeal, Trump incredibly said: “I think the people of our country don’t get enough credit for how smart they are. And I’m not sure I would have said this 10 years ago. But they get it.” 

   I know: I had to go back and read that one too. It's true though, he really said it. I realize that the stress of the political persecution Trump's been under is taking a toll; and also that politicians have to say things pandering to the crowd to get elected once in awhile: I can live with that. But seriously: Trump would be in the White House now instead of the Atlanta Jail if he didn't live in a nation of Mental Midgets and Moral Pygmies. Granted, there's a large segment of our population who consider character traits like venality, mendacity, treachery, and cunning as being smart; but I don't think that's what the President-in-Exile meant. 

  If anyone wants to gauge the intellectual capacity of most Americans; just look at the leaders they elect, the pundits they listen to, the entertainment media they patronize, or the fact that they believe that Artificial Intelligence is a necessity for daily life. We're talking about a population where most people are stupid enough to believe that there are more than two genders; that masks that can't stop dust-particles are capable of stopping viruses; that hot Summers are caused by lawn mowers; and that corporate crooks who made billions off fleecing and exploiting people are 'woke' social philanthropists who deeply care about the future of humanity.

  We don't even need anecdotal evidence to prove this: studies have shown that many---if not most Americans---can't find their own State on a map; don't know how food is produced, and can't read material as complicated as a restaurant menu or a bus schedule. 

    It's not only in the intellectual sphere where Americans lack intelligence; we probably lead every other nation on the Earth in terms of moral stupidity. 

Recently, there was a good article by Bill Donahue of The Catholic League, titled Incivility is the New Normal. Foreign readers who want a good synopsis of what daily life in an average American city is like can get an accurate depiction of it there. If anything, Donahue understates the situation. 

   "The word has spread fast—we can do pretty much what we want and the penalties for infringing on the rights of others are minimal. We have created a culture of incivility, indeed lawlessness. It is not so much narcissism that we are breeding as it is selfishness. When self-absorption  is celebrated, appeals to the common good fall on deaf ears," he writes. This is the unspoken reason behind why spectacles like the Trump Indictment happen. Trump ran an Administration actually committed to draining the Swamp and holding the corrupt accountable. That's not going to go over well in a culture where many benefit from the Swamp and are personally corrupt. 

   Trump, it appears, misses this point; and actually Donahue too drew the wrong conclusion from it, saying: "The ruling class, as I point out in my book, War on Virtue: How the Ruling Class is Killing the American Dream, no longer believes in holding people accountable for their behavior, and they certainly don’t believe in promoting virtue."

  The reason that the Ruling Class behaves like this is because they are a reflection of what they represent. That is the Third Rail Topic of most sociopolitical dialogue today. Our Constitutional System isn't failing: it's working perfectly. Most commentators simply have it backward: it's the American people who are failing the System: not the other way around. The people running the System today are there because they are the most cunning and ruthless members of a degraded society with no Moral Code to guide it and where human beings are expendable means to ends. 

   The Trump Drama should be a wake-up call to Americans; sadly, though, it likely won't be. Expect more of this in the future as our lack of national character keep us circling the drain in a whirlpool of selfishness and reprisals. 

BRICS SUMMIT A RESOUNDING SUCCESS

     The 15th Annual BRICS Summit, held in Johannesburg, South Africa, was to everyone outside the Western Corporate Media's sphere of influence a major success. Some have even called it a turning-point against the Neoliberal hegemony which has dictated global affairs since the 21st Century began. The major shift was the inclusion of six more member states: four of which are OPEC Nations (Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Iran, and Egypt). This move likely will spell the downfall of the so-called 'Petrodollar' and greatly shift the locus of world petroleum power to Russia. In fact, Russia announced that the small, oil-rich state of Abkhazia may soon hold a plebiscite to join its expanding Federation. Just as a reminder, only a few years ago, the US was on a path towards energy independence; but Orange Man Bad and now we'll be forced to depend upon the tender mercies of the woke Energy Cartels as they transition (us peons, not themselves) toward 'Green Energy.' 

   The other new members were Argentina and Ethiopia, both heavily endorsed by China. The two nations are already part of China's New Silk Road project, a trade system which Xi Jinping describes as based upon "win-win cooperation." It's actually a sophisticated barter system where China trades its sophisticated technology and infrastructure development to poorer nations in exchange for resources---especially agricultural---which China needs. Argentina and Ethiopia are major beef producers and the Chinese completed a new railway transport system from Ethiopia to a state-of-the-art port which they also constructed in neighboring Djibouti. Again, just as a friendly reminder, only a few years ago, China was opening up to create an American agricultural boom; but again Orange Man Bad and the Scamdemic LARP, so now we're paying hyperinflated prices while Big Ag scoops up distressed farmland at bargain prices and lectures the rest of us on eating more synthetic foods. Oh well, at least marijuana's back to being the leading American cash-crop again. Just today, the Junta even showed its support for Big Ag by refusing to prosecute any more environmental pollution caused by Corporate farms. (We're certain though that USDA regulations will be strictly enforced upon small farmers, however.) 

    

     During the Summit, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi proudly announced that his nation had become the 4th world power to execute a successful mission to the Moon. The US, of course, has been falling rapidly behind Russia, China, and India on space exploration and technology. This was another issue which the Trump administration tried to address, including expanding educational opportunities within our highly scientifically-deficient public schools. Today, only billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are allowed the luxury of space exploration. In fact, the Junta today brought suit in federal court against Musk's SpaceX company for its lack of workplace diversity. 

    Many pundits believed that this year's Summit would seek to establish a new currency in alternative to the US Dollar, though that doesn't seem to be on the table. The most important thing that came from BRICS is more a determined policy to bypass the Dollar by accepting trade payments in the national currencies of the various members---which has the double-effect of bypassing the Dollar while strengthening the economic sovereignty of BRICS trading partners. At the end of WW2, the Allied Powers agreed to tie their currencies to the fixed rate of the US Dollar---which then was backed by gold. In the 1970s, the US unilaterally terminated this agreement, abandoning the Gold Standard, and opening the door for High Finance to engage in monetary speculation, which in subsequent decades has led to a global system of Dollar Hegemony. We've seen this used extensively by the US Deep State in imposing economic sanctions against nations which insist upon maintaining their sovereignty. 

    Breaking this economic stranglehold has been one of the main goals of the BRICS countries and the nearly three dozen nations petitioning to join. Exasperated by American/NWO economic and military bullying and cultural imperialism; the BRICS offers an opportunity for nations to escape the dubious blessings of 'American Exceptionalism.' The Chinese already operate several independent banks extending credit to developing nations as an alternative to the WEF/NWO-controlled IMF or World Bank. 

      "The changes that have taken place in BRICS economies over the past decade have done much to transform the shape of the global economy. However, the new wave of protectionism and the subsequent impact of unilateral measures that are incompatible with WTO rules undermine global economic growth and development," said South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. 

      “Some country, obsessed with maintaining its hegemony, has gone out of its way to cripple the emerging and developing countries. The Cold War mentality is still haunting our world, and the geopolitical situation is getting tense. Development should not be a privilege reserved for a few but a right for all countries. I am glad to see the growing enthusiasm of developing countries about participating in BRICS cooperation. And quite a number of them have applied to join … we need to accelerate the Brics expansion process to bring more countries into the Brics family," said Chinese President Xi Jinping.

    “We are against any hegemony, the notion of exceptionalism promoted by some nations, and the policy of neocolonialism derived from that claim. We believe in the formation of a multipolar world order, truly just and based on international law,” stated Russian President Vladimir Putin. 

    Can anybody argue with their goals? I live in the US and even I want to be free of the US Deep State and the rotten society that upholds it. These nations are moving forward on a path expanding their sovereignty and prosperity. What headlines are driving the US Corporate Media today? Well, we learned that officials apparently ignored the Maui Wildfire until it devastated the whole island and now greedy developers are swooping in to buy the prime real estate. We learned that our already testosterone-deprived generation of young men are increasingly sterilizing themselves. We learned that the Oligarchs in Davos seriously are floating the idea of ending electoral democracy (not that it's actually existed in the Anglosphere for a long time, but that's beside the point). And ooo! ooo! When are the Trump mugshots coming out? We can't wait!

    The BRICS Summit has given us a glimpse of the future contrasted with the decadent shadows of what was within many of our lifetimes the Civilization which the world aspired to emulate. If the Western world doesn't pull its collective heads out of its lethargic and self-righteous stupor soon, "Go East, Young Man," will be the slogan of the future. 

AFRICAN EXAMPLES SHAME ARROGANT AMERICAN ELITES

      After a week of watching an entire major island burn to the ground and flooding in Los Angeles, we here in the Prozac Nation are busily gathering legal pot and fattening junk foods for the next major national drama. Not though that this drama would be about demanding infrastructure upgrades that prevent things like fire and flood. No, instead we're gearing up for the formal prosecution of the President-in-Exile (because here in free America we don't engage in political witch-hunts). The last time an official this highly placed was criminally charged was in 1803, when Vice-President Aaron Burr was charged with treason. Of course, Burr did do things like plot with wealthy business interests to steal the Louisiana Purchase from the US Government and set himself up as king of the new territory---as well as killing Alexander Hamilton under the pretext of a duel. Today, Burr's actions would be considered good business practice while protesting an obviously stolen election amounts to treasonable activity. 

    Instead today let's talk about good men doing good things---this month Africa has been a hotbed of resistance to the Great Reset thugs and the movement is spreading across the continent. This weekend we'll probably see some major news with the BRICS Conference scheduled to get underway in Johannesburg. We'll have more to say about that in upcoming posts. 

   In West Africa, the impoverished but mineral-rich Saharan nation of Niger is rebuilding its new government despite threats from the Beltway and economic sanctions designed to starve the populace into submission. It's reliably estimated that around 85% of Nigeriens support the change in leadership. The Beltway sent longtime Deep-State provocateur Victoria Nuland to the capital of Niamey, but she was snubbed by high-ranking officials and sent packing. Late last week, the Pentagon quietly began withdrawing occupation forces from Niger. While this is certainly a positive development, it does speak volumes about the Warlords' confidence in our brave xhes in uniform that they fear a conflict with the Nigerien military. 

   Instead, the Oligarchy has been threatening proxy action led by the Gates Foundation-owned country of Nigeria, which has laid down deadlines---all of which have been ignored. Given that the Organization of African States is balking at a military intervention---and several of their own members standing in solidarity with Niger---the unspoken concern seems to be that ordering military action might well result in their militaries coming for them instead. 

    Meanwhile, in East Africa, Uganda---which has been a target of the Oligarchy's rage for years because of its resistance to implementing homo 'equality' laws as well as largely going against the Official Narrative during the Scamdemic---took the decisive step of ejecting the last foreign NGO from the country. That nest of vipers, hypocritically called the UN Human Rights Office, pulled out on August 4th. The UNHRO is currently headed by a rather colorless career EU/UN bureaucrat but is heavily infiltrated with members of the dangerous Moonie Cult and US Deep State spooks. 

    Exasperated by these continual acts of defiance, the World Bank resorted to the filthy---but unfortunately common---tactic of economic sanctions to force Uganda into compliance. The World Bank is headed by Indian-American Ajay Banga, a former functionary in the Obama Administration, member of the WEF's International Business Council, and former executive with WEF Top 100 Strategic Partners, Mastercard and Dow Chemical. 

   Uganda, however, is standing firm. The last near-decade of Western Neoliberal Imperialist pressure has shown that Africa can stand on it's own two feet, according to Ugandan President Yoweri Musaveni. "Our country will develop with or without loans," Musaveni said. “They really underestimate all Africans. We do not need pressure from anybody to know how to solve problems in our society. They are our problems.”

   Ugandan Emissary to the upcoming BRICS Conference Paul Amoru stated in an interview that "a multipolar world structure gives African countries the freedom to relate and to build new partnerships as they pleased." In a pointed snub to the would-be architects of the New World Order, Amoru added: "Ultimately, no one can stop the formation of a new multipolar world, he noted, so other nations must realign their expectations and accept it."

   Our political landscape would certainly be a lot more interesting (not to mention worthy of participating in) if we actually had leaders like Niger and Uganda have produced. If the American people actually had any sense of shame left, it would be a national disgrace to realize that we've actually fallen behind Africa as a world beacon of Liberty, sound government, and a commitment to upholding Human Rights. No doubt as the BRICS Conference progresses, the distinction will become ever more apparent. Sadly, though, the Ameroboob is likely to learn nothing and continue to sink further into Bulimia, addiction, and apathy.
