In the world of script writing and media production generally there is a literary crisis in the making regarding UK Black women and the UK needs your help. Black women are being seriously and subtly deformed in the public image. Lets start with proximate causes. In the Uk there has been a lost generation. They do not generally have any historical memory of the previous generations that struggled for them. Most of them look on the ‘Black Radicals’ as…
Wale Edun is in part a mere parrot for the World Bank and does not even understand what he is parroting. But worse yet, he is an agent for a national financial oligarchy that wants Nigeria to be destroyed because they will profit from its destruction. HE MUST GO! Wale Edun is quoted as saying: ‘Emphasis on Service Sector In addition, Edun said the government is laying emphasis on the service sector to provide employment opportunities for young…
There is no way to say this politely but that is what Wale Edun is doing – driving Nigeria to destruction. There are three root causes to Nigeria’s destruction. There is of course one instance of the Roman Emperorship being bought outright by a bidder, Didius Julianus, whose lack of appropriate skill and shows of cowardice led to his being assassinated a few months later. (Leigh-Howarth 2022) Great leaders previously could eschew wealth given they had great power. Now…
President Xi announced the greatest earthquake for the 21st Century so far. It is possible to misunderstand it which is why I will explain it further. All recent great economic transformations have been based on market access. First was Japan’s access to the US market. During the 1980’s, when talk was of Japan becoming No.1, the US extended market access to ASEAN countries as a way to cut off Japan at the knees. Many of these Asian tigers had…
There is a fundamental misunderstanding of the Ukraine war among Western commentators because there is failure to understand ‘endless war’. Over and over again, I hear dissident observers all over Europe explaining how absurd and irrational European policy is. From senior to junior commentators, this is repeated ad nauseam. They do not stop to consider that this is absurd. A policy that is sustained cannot be ‘irrational’. It merely means that the true policy itself is misunderstood. Even the…
Many people in England have a self image in respect of their behaviour that does not meet with reality because they never get a reflection back. For most of them, they can define their relationship with ‘others’ in society. ‘Living on the Hill’ is a series aimed at putting up a mirror of sorts. Did I say unbiased mirror? No! Hopefully, it will be full of my own quirks and the devil’s humour. But a mirror nonetheless. In this…
Philosophy There is a unique role that the word ‘rationality’ plays in Western culture. According to the standard trope rationality is a mystical quality. It has the following virtues; Ancient Greek philosophy, it is claimed, was the birth of the first attempt to understand the world using rationality. One author writes: “Ancient Greek philosophy brought Logos to fore and defined it as the crucial problem and the postulate of the human. We translate the Greek term Logos in English…
Enough is enough. However much one might admire some of the outspoken views of Douglas Macgregor his outspoken racism must be called out. Macgregor’s interview All the problems of the US are caused by the massive influx of non-Europeans into the US. It is these people who assist in totally rigging elections in large cities for the Democratic Party. In large cities , according to Macgregor, all the voting is fraudulent. Even the Tech entrepreneurs who came to the…
‘‘The world diplomatic front is a screen on which appears the apparent struggle between the Free World and the Communist camp….Behind it the real struggle goes on …’ Henry Kissinger (1955)1 This conflict in Ukraine has exposed the underlying features, previously hidden, of the contemporary world. Europe’s condition as a vassal state was expertly hidden but is now thoroughly revealed. This generates a question: what was the Cold War truly about? What were the US ambitions in Europe? To…
At a fundamental level, the Nigerian political problem is straightforward but possibly insoluble. In the 1960’s and 1970’s the politicians showed such graft that the population revolted. The concept of governance was conceived as relatively straightforward. There was an existing economic and foreign policy consensus. This allowed the military to intervene. When the military played along with the consensus they had consent. When they went away from the consensus and ceased to build a consensus they began to rely…
