Kemi Badenoch has entered the political thread at an international level with her comments about Nigeria. But there is more to this than Nigeria. First, she is quoted as saying: ‘“I saw what socialism is for millions. It’s poverty and broken dreams. I came to Britain to make my way in a country where hard work and honest endeavour can take you anywhere.” This statement which she has repeated many times is quite shocking. She is accurately describing the…

Ambassador Freeman  in an interview   noted that throughout the West Asia secular regimes are falling to religious extremists, whether Arab or Jewish.  What is being misunderstood is the role of secular motivation. American foreign policy has been driven by money and violence. Its underlying dogma is that everyone is motivated by money and fear of death such that if the US has the greatest wealth and largest armed forces it can therefore rule the world. Opponents of US…

It is extremely urgent to publish certain matters, which means overriding some taboos. Academia ingrains particular rules, such as not making statements without evidence. Even purely philosophical statements have sources for the ideas to create context. Without sources, ideas can be ungrounded, and the expression of ideas inadvertently conflicts with facts as a matter of inadvertence rather than genuine misunderstanding. I have to override these concerns. I have been researching these matters, and it may be a few years…

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…
