OBLONG MEDIA GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE is where independent minds meet to dissect politics, society, power, and global affairs without fear or filters. This is not mainstream media.

Zionism is a complex political, religious, and cultural movement that emerged in the late 19th century, advocating for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. While its roots are grounded in centuries of Jewish connection to the land of Israel, modern Zionism developed in response to a unique set of historical, political, and social circumstances. As Zionism gained momentum, it became a powerful force not only in Jewish history but also in the broader political landscape of the Middle East. The establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 and the tensions that arose from it have had far-reaching…

Islamic fundamentalism in the Middle East is a multifaceted phenomenon that has evolved over time, shaped by a complex web of historical, political, and socio-economic factors. While the movement’s ideological foundations can be traced back centuries, its modern resurgence, particularly in the 20th century, was driven by reactions to Western imperialism, regional political failures, and the emergence of the state of Israel. Understanding these influences helps explain the deep-seated grievances and motivations behind the rise of political Islam in the region. One of the earliest contributing factors to the rise of Islamic fundamentalism was the reaction to European colonialism. Beginning…

Imo State, with its deep cultural heritage, agricultural abundance, and hard-working citizens, holds untapped potential that, if properly harnessed, could transform it into a hub of economic growth and innovation. Since its creation in 1976, the state has seen progress, but many core challenges persist. My vision, if entrusted with the responsibility of governor, is to unlock that potential, drive holistic development, and foster a state where opportunities abound and the quality of life improves for every Imo citizen. This is a commitment to progress, not mere rhetoric. Imo’s infrastructure has long been a bottleneck to economic advancement. Roads across…

The belief that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands and the assault on Palestinian civilians are divinely ordained is rooted in a powerful narrative of religious and historical indoctrination. This narrative, propagated over centuries, has deeply shaped the worldview of many people, including those who are otherwise educated and rational. At its core, the idea that the land of Israel is divinely promised to the Jewish people is grounded in religious texts, particularly the Bible, which has been interpreted to justify modern political actions. The indoctrination around this belief system is complex. For many Christians and Jews, the story of…

Religious indoctrination has a profound and destructive impact on how even well-educated individuals perceive complex geopolitical issues, particularly in the case of the brutal assault on Palestinians following the October 7 attacks. This indoctrination often clouds rational judgment and common sense reasoning, replacing critical thought with entrenched dogma that leads to the justification of violence, even when it crosses the line into what could be described as genocidal actions. The situation is further complicated by rumors that the attacks themselves may have been a false flag operation designed to distract from political turmoil and keep leaders like Netanyahu in power.…

Fellow Nigerians, Today marks 64 years since we gained independence from colonial rule, but the sad truth is that we remain trapped in a cycle of oppression, only now it is at the hands of our own leaders. What exactly do we celebrate when we reflect on our situation today? Our independence seems hollow, with the very fabric of our nation unraveled by corruption, nepotism, electoral fraud, and incompetence. The last presidential election was a mockery of democracy, riddled with fraud, voter suppression, and manipulation. Nigerians voted with hope, but were left disillusioned. The dream of free and fair elections…

The Israeli-led war in the Middle East continues to spread like a self-feeding fire. The air and ground bombardment of the Gaza Strip continues, which has made this territory uninhabitable and has resulted in more than 50,000 deaths, including about 20,000 children, and more than 100,000 wounded, most of whom will die as a result of Israel’s destruction of hospitals. The number of deaths caused by Israel’s deprivation of the Palestinian population of food, drinking water and medical supplies is incalculable. At the same time, Israel is “redrawing” the West Bank, demolishing entire neighbourhoods with bulldozers, killing and terrorizing the population with…

“If you believe that the Jewish state has a right to exist, then you must allow Israel to transfer the Palestinians and the Israeli-Arabs from Judea, Samaria, Gaza and Israel proper. It’s an ugly solution, but it is the only solution. And it is far less ugly than the prospect of bloody conflict ad infinitum….. It’s time to stop being squeamish. Jews are not Nazis. Transfer is not genocide. And anything else isn’t a solution.”— Ben Shapiro, Transfer is not a Dirty Word, Orlando Sentinel “Israel is expediting its action now to complete its original purpose of the ethnic purging of Gaza, which…

In recent days the chances of a direct war between Russia and NATO/USA have increased like never before since the Cuban missile crisis of 1962. This has happened due to a series of red lines being crossed culminating with increased possibility of long range weapons supplied by the USA and close allies to Ukraine being used to strike targets in mainland Russia, and Russia declaring this to be the weapon supplying countries like the USA and the UK in particular engaging in warfare against Russia. While at the time of writing it is still possible that better sense may prevail…

The potential decision to site an IDP camp for northern refugees in Nsu, Ehime Mbano, Imo State, raises numerous concerns beyond the immediate socio-cultural and security risks. A critical dimension to this issue is the possibility that some politicians driving this move may be influenced by financial and political inducements. Over the years, Nigerian politics has been plagued by instances of leaders making decisions that serve personal or group interests rather than the well-being of their constituents. There is a widespread belief, especially in southern Nigeria, that some political leaders have sold out their communities in exchange for political advancement…

In public, the West pretends not to care about Moscow’s rules of engagement, but the reality is very different This week’s proposed update of Russia’s nuclear doctrine was signaled well in advance. According to President Vladimir Putin, it was under preparation for at least several months, and probably longer. The catalyst was, of course, Ukraine’s expansion of both the list of Western weapons it uses and the geography of its military operations against Russia. Obviously, based on these experiences, the country’s leadership decided to refine its doctrinal documents and ensure they reflect all the threats that were previously considered insignificant,…
-
The decision was long overdue and is a response to reckless agression from Washington Updating Russia’s nuclear doctrine is certainly not a spontaneous step. It is long overdue and is linked to the fact that the current level of atomic deterrence has proven inadequate. Especially given that it failed to prevent the West from waging a hybrid war against our country. Until recently, the desire to inflict a strategic defeat on us was considered insane and impossible, given that Russia is a nuclear superpower. But it turns out that it is taken seriously in some minds in the West. That…

This year’s election will be America’s last, if Donald Trump loses, Elon Musk has claimed The Democratic Party could turn the United States into a de facto one-party state if they succeed in boosting their electorate in swing states by increasingly providing citizenship to illegal immigrants, tech mogul Elon Musk has argued. This statement comes as the US election is just over a month away, with rhetoric on both sides becoming more heated. Democratic nominee and incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris has repeatedly called her Republican rival, former President Donald Trump, a threat to democracy. Musk, who endorsed Trump in…

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin reportedly “lost it” in a phone call with his Israeli counterpart US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was “furious” with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant when he learned at the last moment that Israel was about to assassinate Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, the Jerusalem Post has reported. Nasrallah was killed in a massive Israeli airstrike on his underground compound in Beirut on Friday. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claimed that 20 senior Hezbollah officers were killed alongside Nasrallah, while the number of civilian casualties remains unclear. The US immediately denied any role in the strike. President Joe Biden…

Ryan Routh urged someone else to “finish the job” in a letter revealed by prosecutors The man who planned to kill US presidential candidate Donald Trump left a letter urging someone else to carry out the assassination in case he failed, federal prosecutors have revealed. Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was arrested on September 15 after being spotted near a Trump-owned golf course in Florida. Police found a Soviet-made rifle, a GoPro camera and a backpack with armor plates in his makeshift hideout. “This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you. I tried my best and gave…

Foreign backers financed only 27% of Kiev’s state budget in the first half of 2024, according to Vedomosti The flow of Western funds into Ukraine’s state budget has almost halved compared to last year, the Russian newspaper Vedomosti has calculated after reviewing data from Kiev’s Finance Ministry. Between January and June this year, the US and its allies, who have been backing Kiev throughout its conflict with Moscow, financed only 27% of the country’s budget expenditure, compared to 50% in the first half of 2023, the paper said in an article on Monday. In monetary terms, Western financial aid to…

Rocket fire has intensified since the Beirut airstrike that killed the group’s senior commander Dozens of Hezbollah missiles have struck northern Israel, in what the Shia group said was retaliation for Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon that has killed over 250 people. Months-long exchanges between Israel and Hezbollah escalated last week, when thousands of pagers and other communications devices used by Hezbollah simultaneously exploded, killing at least 37 people and injuring an estimated 3,000, including children. Israeli jets then bombed Beirut and killed Ibrahim Aqil, a senior Hezbollah commander. “We admit that we are pained. We are humans. But as we are…

As the world stands on the brink of catastrophe, it’s becoming clear that World War III is already upon us. Yet, while the conflict rages across multiple fronts, from Ukraine to the Middle East,one thing is certain: the empire that has long dominated global affairs, the Anglo-American-Zionist Empire, has already lost. This empire, driven by globalist ambitions of economic control, population manipulation, and military intervention, is imploding. What comes next could be even more dangerous unless humanity chooses a different path: one of spiritual transformation. The Crumbling Empire For over a century, the Anglo-American-Zionist Empire has sought to maintain global…

Over the years, Israel has been strategically used by the U.S. to destabilize the Middle East, serving American interests at great risk to its own existence. Israel’s confrontations with regional actors like Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iran have often been driven by U.S. objectives, with Israel acting as the front-line enforcer in these proxy conflicts. In exchange, Israel has relied on American military and intelligence support to maintain its edge. However, Israel may now have bitten off more than it can chew. The growing complexity of the Middle Eastern landscape, coupled with the shifting dynamics of global power, suggests that Israel…

Heavily armed Israeli soldiers have barged into the pan-Arab TV channel’s studio in the West Bank on Sunday Israeli soldiers in full combat gear entered Al Jazeera’s office in Ramallah in the West Bank in the early hours of Sunday. They ordered for the studio to be closed for 45 days, the channel said. The clip posted by the Qatari-owned channel shows armed IDF troops walking down the hallways and entering offices while being filmed by Al Jazeera’s camera crew. “There is a court ruling for closing down Al Jazeera for 45 days,” a soldier told al-Omari, according to Al Jazeera, …

Despite the high hopes that came with the much-anticipated Dangote Refinery, Nigerians are still paying exorbitant prices for petrol. What should have been a moment of relief has instead turned into frustration, as the reality on the ground shows no meaningful change. The ongoing blame game between the Dangote Refinery and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) only deepens the confusion, making it clear that we are not dealing with mere governance failures—this is outright exploitation. We are in the midst of a crisis, and rather than seeing the promised relief, Nigerians are being burdened with ever-increasing petrol prices.…

From my perspective, the ongoing war in Ukraine is exposing a deeper, more insidious reality about the relationship between the United States and Europe, a relationship that resembles colonialism more than any genuine alliance. The latest signals from NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, who essentially handed over decisions on Ukraine’s long-range missiles to European allies, are part of a broader strategy by Washington to shift the burden of its geopolitical games onto Europe. The United States, under the guise of NATO and transatlantic unity, has long exercised a kind of veiled control over Europe. For me, the explosion of the…

The recent terror attack on Lebanon, in which mobile devices rigged with explosives were detonated across the country, raises significant questions about the methods and motives behind such violent actions. As a contrarian, I am compelled to look beyond the surface and challenge the dominant narrative that frames this attack as merely an isolated incident of Israel defending itself against Hezbollah. What we are witnessing is not just an isolated act of aggression but a deliberate and calculated extension of the US-Israeli war in the Middle East. This isn’t just a response to Hezbollah’s presence in Lebanon; it is part…
-
As a contrarian, my perspective is rooted in questioning the popular narratives that most people accept without hesitation. In Nigeria, we are often swept along by the tide of mainstream thought, whether it’s in politics, economics, or social issues. But I believe there’s immense value in swimming against that current, not just for the sake of being different, but because the truth often lies beneath the surface, obscured by the noise of consensus. Take the issue of fuel subsidies, for example. When the government removed them, many Nigerians accepted the justification that it was necessary for economic reform. But from…

In times of dramatic and rapid change in AI, drones, robots and cyberattacks, the only certainty is uncertainty. The attacks on pagers and walkie talkies (and possibly even solar panels) in Lebanon is one of those events that many have speculated was on the horizon: the weaponisation of everyday objects in 21st-century conflicts. But there were probably those who thought this “weaponisation of everything”– as security analyst Mark Galeotti puts it – was the stuff of Hollywood movies or cyberpunk crime thrillers. Transforming pagers or phones into explosive devices, in their view, was probably not possible both in technological or logistical terms. It was…

Washington’s recent sanctions against Russian media have exposed the true nature of the current U.S. administration, which claims to uphold freedom of speech but is quick to silence outlets that do not conform to its narrative. The sanctions are an attempt to stifle the influence of Russian media, which has successfully presented information from an alternative perspective, significantly influencing global public opinion—a development that appears to alarm the U.S. government. On September 13, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken accused RT of engaging in “covert influence” and “weaponization of disinformation,” allegedly aimed at interfering in other nations’ affairs and aiding…

If we are to survive we need to put an end to the US forever wars. Defensive wars have reasons but the US wars of aggression benefit business, the US military and its contractors, think tanks, even universities. US wars involve the federal government and other governmental institutions in nurturing wars within a war economy that enriches death merchants and costs destruction and millions of lives all over the world. A dominant US war economy limits possibilities for any economy of peace, and brings decadence and impoverishment to US citizens while favoring societal decay. Worse, the US forever wars are…

On February 1, 2007, Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski, former National Security Adviser, delivered testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, chaired by Senator Joe Biden. His testimony warned about potential U.S. military ambitions concerning Iran and outlined how the Bush administration could fabricate a pretext for war. Brzezinski described a possible scenario where the U.S. would accuse Iran of destabilizing Iraq, leading to a provocation that could justify a so-called “defensive” war. He argued that such a conflict would plunge the U.S. into a deeper quagmire across the Middle East, affecting Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Brzezinski opened by criticizing the…

Nothing can happen without an independent Palestinian state, Prince Mohammed bin Salman has said. There can be no normalization of relations between Riyadh and West Jerusalem without the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman has announced. The prince has previously said that US-backed talks between Saudi Arabia and Israel were close to a solution, before the Gaza conflict broke out last October. “The kingdom will not stop its tireless work towards the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, and we affirm that the kingdom will not establish diplomatic…

In this interview, Antoine SOMDAH, former ambassador of Burkina Faso to the Russian Federation, an expert in international law and nuclear law, and a member of the United Nations Security Council (2008 and 2009), critically assesses the importance of the newly created Alliance of Sahel States (AES), its implications, the challenges and future prospects in West Africa. This marked a major geopolitical turning point in the Sahel region for the three Republics of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger. It also signified the final withdrawal from the regional economic organization ECOWAS. Here are the interview excerpts. Kester Kenn Klomegah (KKK): How would you assess the…

On 6 September 2024, Russia Today (RT) published a report on how the US was sanctioning Chinese banks for receiving Yuan payments from Russia. The editor of this RT article, apparently an expert in matters of finance, must have missed something, or slipped into a western propaganda trap. The article intimidated already in its title that the US “Finally succeeded in choking off Russia’s biggest trade lifeline”, meaning China. See this for full RT article. Screenshot from RT Those who know some basics about Russia – China relations, understand US sanctions are not doing anything to Russia anymore – as Russia is fully…

Saudi Arabia’s industry and mineral resources minister said his country will “try new things”—including using the yuan in crude oil deals—as Riyadh seeks to incorporate Chinese products such as electric vehicles, the C919 passenger jet, and renewable energy infrastructure. This marks a major shift, considering Saudi Arabia’s close ties with the United States gave rise to the petrodollar. “The petroyuan is not substantial to [the ministry], we believe Saudi Arabia will do what’s in its best interest … but I think Saudi Arabia will always try new things, and is open to new ideas, and we try not to mix…

53 states on the continent were represented at the FOCAC gathering in Beijing This year’s Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) Summit was held in Beijing where decisions were made to strengthen already existing ties into a strategic partnership between the two geopolitical entities. The People’s Republic of China has maintained close relations with African states since the 1950s as the struggle for national independence rose to world prominence. FOCAC was convened under the theme of “Joining Hands to Advance Modernization and Build a High-Level China-Africa Community with a Shared Future.” Holding the Summit under this theme distinguishes FOCAC from other…

Russia today is taking another pivotal moment in its history, (with a series of many landmark issues) under its presidency of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), referred to as informal association, consistently forging collaborative relations with developing countries. With geopolitical situation heightening, spotifying challenges predominately remain on the association’s track. But the evolving developments are positive and promising, particularly increasing number of countries expressing the desire to join BRICS. It shows an interesting and indelible sign which reflects the necessity for the world’s re-configuration. This factor indicates the urgent yawning action for a multifaceted change, a new…

Speakers from around the world praise the film, saying it’s about time the world gets to see the expansionist agenda of the Israeli state in the occupied West Bank. Istanbul’s iconic Atlas Cinema was packed on Saturday afternoon for the launch of TRT World’s investigative documentary “Holy Redemption”, which exposes how illegal Jewish settlers are systematically driving out Palestinians from their homes in the occupied West Bank. A panel of experts discussed various aspects of the Palestinian struggle ahead of the premiere of the investigation carried out by TRT World journalists at great risk in December last year. “The Holy Redemption documentary not…

While the news of President Bola Tinubu ordering the resignation of Central Bank Governor Olayemi Cardoso may come as a surprise to some, for those who have watched the unfolding drama, this was a long time coming. Cardoso’s downfall is not just about his inability to stabilize the economy or revive the Naira—it’s a culmination of unfulfilled promises, rampant self-interest, and a stark disconnect from the plight of the average Nigerian. From the moment Cardoso was appointed, there were high hopes. He had promised to rein in the freefall of the Naira and return it to a more stable rate…

The title “Owelle” is a highly revered one in Onitsha and other parts of the Eastern region of Nigeria. However, many are unaware of the true meaning and origin of the term. To understand the history of “Owelle,” we must explore both its origins and how it became established. After the death of Obi Origbo (also known as Oligbo) in 1583 AD, he left behind three sons: Oko (his heir), Owelle, Prince Epum, and Prince Abutu. His heir, Prince Owelle, ascended the throne in 1583 and ruled until 1632 AD. This story is connected to earlier events following the death…

It’s baffling. Nigeria, Africa’s largest oil producer, with the newly functional Dangote Refinery—the largest in the continent—still imports Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) to meet its domestic demand. Why are we importing what we can produce locally? This paradox points to something far more insidious than logistical or market factors. It raises the uncomfortable specter of corruption, deeply embedded in the very structure of our oil industry, particularly within the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL). Over the years, NNPCL has been at the center of numerous corruption scandals, from allegations of mismanagement to inflated fuel contracts and shady subsidy schemes.…

US military interventions are not just wars on people — they’re also wars on the climate. This week marks 23 years since George W. Bush declared a U.S.-led “war on terror” and the people of Afghanistan and Iraq are still suffering its consequences. After the U.S. invaded Iraq, an estimated half a million Iraqis were killed and at least 9.2 million were displaced. From 2003-2011, more than 4.7 million Iraqis suffered from moderate to severe food insecurity. Over 243,000 people have been killed in the Afghanistan/Pakistan war zone since 2001, more than 70,000 of them civilians. Between 4.5 and 4.6 million people have died in the…

On September 18th, the UN General Assembly will debate and vote on a pivotal resolution calling for Israel to end its “unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory” within six months. Unlike the exclusive 15-member UN Security Council, where veto power plays a critical role, the General Assembly allows all members to vote without the risk of a veto. This is a rare opportunity for the global community to take a united stance against Israel’s occupation of Palestine. If Israel ignores the resolution, as many expect, and the United States blocks any Security Council enforcement, the General Assembly could take…

This analysis provides a clearer understanding of the complex relationship between the NNPC, Dangote Refinery, and other industry players. The NNPC’s inefficiencies and the government’s attempts to maintain control over the fuel market, even at the expense of consumer interests, reflect deeper systemic issues within Nigeria’s oil sector. The ongoing power struggle between the Nigerian Federal Government (FG), the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), and Dangote Refinery can be summarized in several key points: 1. NNPC’s Refining Incompetence The NNPC has long struggled with refining crude oil domestically. Despite Nigeria being a leading crude oil producer, the country lacks the…

Although I am a Biafran, let me tell you why I don’t want a war with Nigeria. It’s simple. I’ve taken a deep look at myself, and I know I’m better than the average Nigerian. In fact, I’m better than every one of my oppressors. My condition is better than even those who are well represented in the Nigerian government. I am more educated than the average Nigerian. The late Professor Shotimehin once said that the Yoruba’s claim to be the most educated ethnic group in Nigeria is only true in their newspapers. In 1967, my father’s garment factory in…

The BRICS countries, where almost half of the world’s population lives, are emerging as the main driving force of the world economy. This was said by Russian Ambassador to China Igor Morgulov during a panel discussion on BRICS prospects at the Global Peace Forum at Tsinghua University. He noted that the rates of economic growth in the BRICS countries continue to significantly exceed the world average. The total area of the countries of the association occupies more than a third of the Earth’s territory and almost half of the planet’s population lives in them. “The total GDP of the group…

Introduction What is the 21st century meaning of “diabolical”? The repeal of real democracy, wherein prime ministers and presidents are appointed by the ”Deep State”. In January 2024, Keir Starmer, leader of Britain’s remodelled Labour Party was invited to Davos by the World Economic Forum. Ironically, Starmer started his election campaign in the Swiss Alps, in conformity with Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset. Was he elected or was he selected? It’s what you might call a “Democratic Regime Change” decided in Davos. He won the general election on July 4, and was confirmed as Britain’s Prime Minister on July 5. And “Just four days later, at the…

A CASE FOR RESTORATIVE JUSTICE FOR UNSUCCSESSFUL ASPIRANTS! Politics is a roguish business although it should be for service delivery. Politicians are inherently selfish and self-centred when in search of or in possession of power. Power politics is a brutal business- no paddy for jungle! Forget sugar coating, there is deficit of morality in power politics in Naija. No politician who is favoured by power play matrix or calculus cares about the next person or feeling of others. In that euphoria, the popular sayings you will hear are that “power is taken, power is not given”; “you use power to…

“Through the release of atomic energy, our generation has brought into the world the most revolutionary force since prehistoric man’s discovery of fire. This basic power of the universe cannot be fitted into the outmoded concept of narrow nationalisms.” Statement by the Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists, presided by Albert Einstein, January 22, 1947. “I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” Albert Einstein (1879-1955), German-born theoretical physicist, (in an interview in ‘Liberal Judaism’, April-May, 1949) “While defending our own vital interests, nuclear powers must avert those confrontations, which bring an adversary…

When the special military operation (SMO) was launched to end the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict, Russian President Vladimir Putin was very clear about the direct involvement of any third parties. This has prevented the political West from taking direct action in support of the Kiev regime, but it still didn’t prevent it from doing everything else in its power to avert the complete defeat of the puppets in Kiev. In fact, they even sent former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson to sabotage the already signed peace deal that would’ve ended the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict a couple of weeks after the SMO started. Several high-ranking Western…

Secret Gathering Sponsored by Bill Gates, 2009 Meeting of “The Good Club” Is Worldwide Depopulation Part of the Billionaire’s “Great Reset” First posted on September 29, 2021 For more than ten years, meetings have been held by billionaires described as philanthropists to Reduce the Size of the World’s Population culminating with the 2020-2023 Covid crisis. Recent developments suggest that “Depopulation” is an integral part of the so-called Covid mandates including the lockdown policies and the mRNA “vaccine”. Flash back to 2009. According to the Wall Street Journal: “Billionaires Try to Shrink World’s Population”. In May 2009, the Billionaire philanthropists met behind closed doors at the home of the president…

Revealed by Government Reports and Pfizer Documents First published on October 5, 2023 If an experimental vaccine were to damage the heart and immune system in a significant number of individuals who received it, it is possible that it could lead to a decline in the overall population size. This could occur for several reasons. If such a vaccine were to be developed and distributed, it could potentially lead to depopulation due to increased mortality and decreased fertility. Unfortunately, the world has found itself in a situation where powerful institutions and Governments have coerced millions of people into getting an…

Has President Putin’s Patience Reached Its Limits? All Red Lines Crossed – Multiple Times A NATO invasion of nuclear Russia is currently underway, and the world is unaware that it is in World War III, as reported by Megatron (14 August 2024). The Kursk region of Russia is currently full of NATO weapons, troops, logistics, and more, many of them destroyed. See map, below. Video footage comes out of dozens of NATO vehicles, air defense systems, tanks and more; even if destroyed and captured by Russian forces in the Kursk Region. The Kiev forces of about 11,600 under guidance of NATO troops have…

As the world moves toward greater interconnectedness and multilateral cooperation, the United States finds itself at a crossroads. The global balance of power is shifting, with emerging economies like those in BRICS developing new financial systems and partnerships that challenge America’s long-standing dominance. Yet, rather than adapting to these changes, the current Democratic administration, led by Joe Biden and its candidate in the upcoming election, remains tied to outdated policies of unilateralism and military interventions. These are policies deeply rooted in the neoconservative ideology of the deep state, which aims to preserve American hegemony at all costs, even if it…

Following up on the video and claims about the Igbo people and the larger African historical narrative, let’s delve deeper into these elements based on available research and documented history. The notion that Igbos have left an imprint in places as distant as Japan is fascinating, though not widely recognized in mainstream historical texts. Anecdotal claims suggest certain naming conventions or cultural echoes, but these lack substantial academic documentation for now. However, it’s worth acknowledging that much of Africa’s global diasporic history remains underexplored, and many stories are deliberately hidden or suppressed. Further research in anthropology and linguistics could potentially…

Is Dangote Colluding with Marketers to Keep PMS at N765 and upwards? As of Sunday, September 15, 2024, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) will begin lifting Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from the Dangote Refinery, selling it to oil marketers at a steep price of N765 per liter. While the refinery is expected to supply 25 million liters daily, NNPCL will continue importing 15 million liters to meet demand. By the end of October, Dangote’s supply is projected to rise to 35 million liters, while NNPCL reduces importation to 5 million liters before eventually phasing out imports entirely. However,…

American immigration policy has long been a subject of intense political debate, and Donald Trump’s approach to the issue has brought key tensions to the forefront. Trump’s stance on immigration differs notably from that of the establishment, particularly in its rejection of political correctness, which he views as an impediment to national security and economic stability. His rhetoric and policies, such as the building of a border wall, the travel ban on certain countries, and tightening immigration regulations, reflect his belief that uncontrolled immigration presents a threat to the American economy, national identity, and safety. The political establishment, including both…

In 2024, while the world was distracted by headlines and global spectacles, the most perilous threats to humanity advanced unnoticed. The U.S.-NATO provoked Ukraine war escalated into a proxy conflict with Russia, a confrontation orchestrated by American neocons, simmering since the Soviet Union’s collapse in 1991. This war gained momentum in 2014 with the U.S.-backed overthrow of Ukraine’s elected pro-Russian government, setting the stage for today’s devastation. Now, the mission is clear: weaken Russia at any cost, no matter the consequences for global security. Simultaneously, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict erupted once more.

The Owerri Central Market project, which has sparked significant controversy, involves the ongoing demolition of properties leading to protests from local landowners, including investors from the diaspora. These property owners have legally acquired their lands with Certificates of Occupancy (C of Os) and have invested substantial sums to develop them. However, the Imo State Government, under Governor Hope Uzodimma, is pushing forward with the construction of the Owerri Central Market Complex, citing foreign investment as a key driver of the project. The demolitions have caused outrage among the affected landowners, many of whom feel betrayed by the government. They argue…

In the late 1940s, rumors circulated about a mysterious “hermit,” disenchanted and disillusioned with the world, living in a cave under one of the “L’s” of the iconic Hollywood sign in California. This reclusive figure, said to be “out of sync” with society, was largely ignored until one fateful night in 1947 when he appeared at the Lincoln Theater in Los Angeles. Nat King Cole, one of the era’s biggest stars, was performing that night, and the man attempted to gain backstage access. Claiming to have something for Cole, the eccentric figure was turned away by the staff but left…

It is undeniable that Donald Trump has become one of the most polarizing figures in modern history, and in many respects, he has been unfairly vilified on an unprecedented scale. From the moment he announced his candidacy, throughout his presidency, and even after leaving office, Trump has been the subject of relentless media attacks, personal insults, and political hostility that no other modern political figure seems to have faced. One could argue that the level of scrutiny and condemnation aimed at Trump far exceeds what should be expected, even in a fiercely competitive political environment. While it’s fair to criticize…

Before I get badgered by those unwilling to read or lacking in the discipline to digest concepts, let me announce upfront that no insults are intended by either the title, or the message below. But I have seen enough of the rush to abuse, by those who miss the meaning of concepts different from their everyday usage, that I suspect an upfront caveat may slow down the rush to conclusion by those who give meaning to the real insult; which is that the best way to hide something from most of us is to write it down in a book.…

The recent arrest of Comrade Joe Ajaero, President of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), on allegations of terrorism has raised serious concerns about the misuse of security agencies to intimidate civil society leaders. While the charges against Ajaero have yet to be substantiated, the circumstances surrounding his arrest reflect a disturbing pattern in Nigeria where dissenting voices, particularly those advocating for workers’ rights, are often met with state repression. At the heart of this issue is the presumption of innocence, a fundamental pillar of justice. Joe Ajaero, like every Nigerian citizen, is entitled to due process. The allegations of terrorism…

Without a doubt, Chief Dr. Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Iwuanyanwu was a model and premier Igbo-Nigerian leader, patriot, and Igboist. Being an Igboist and a Nigerian defender at the same time is an extremely difficult combination to maintain. He had affection for both of them, but Ndigbo was his priority for obvious reasons. It is more than thirty years since I first met Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu. The two-party system for Nigeria was being experimented with by General IB Babangida who established the National Republican Convention (NRC) and Social Democratic Party (SDP). Chief Iwuanyanwu was a presidential aspirant under the banner of the…

The Israel-Palestine conflict remains one of the most protracted and complex geopolitical struggles in modern history, fueled by deep-rooted historical, religious, and territorial disputes. A particularly contentious issue is the expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, which many, including renowned Israeli journalist Gideon Levy, argue is less about peace and more about solidifying occupation. Israeli settlements are civilian communities built on land that Israel captured during the 1967 Six-Day War, which includes the West Bank and East Jerusalem. These areas are predominantly inhabited by Palestinians, and under international law, the settlements are considered illegal. Despite this, Israel…

When two brothers are fighting and hurting each other very badly just to advance the ambitions of a third party, what is the best possible advice for them? Clearly it is to stop fighting immediately and to start making amends for the harm that has been already caused to both of them, to heal the wounds of both of them. This is exactly what Russia and Ukraine should do today, stop fighting immediately and start their long walk together on the path of peace, healing and rehabilitation. But, to go back to the example of two brothers fighting each other,…

Amid the Democratic National Convention (DNC), Kamala Harris has pledged to “stand strong with Ukraine and our NATO allies.” With the upcoming US presidential elections, all eyes are on the Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and on the Republican one Donald Trump. If one is to believe the (overwhelmingly pro-Ukrainian) Western press, the Republic candidate will just “abandon” Ukraine altogether thus ensuring its defeat, while the Democrats in turn will do everything they can to “save” the Eastern European country. Things are quite more complex than that, of course. Firstly, and it is always important to highlight that, the US-led West bears, at the very least, a…

At this critical moment in American history, and in world history, a moment at which the Fukuyama fuzzy fantasy of an end of history and of a magic kingdom on Earth animated by endless growth and consumption has come crashing down after hitting a stone wall of economic disparity, ethical chaos, and social contradictions. More and more Americans must face the ghoulish trinity of accumulated capital, manufactured ideology, and brutal class warfare—it no longer matters how kind or how ethnically diverse the face of that new economic system make up of investment banks and corporate media may be. The efforts…

It must be stated at the outset that regardless of anything else, if one of the great powers follows world dominance as a central precept of its policy then it is only a matter of time before this would bring the world very close to World War 3 or nuclear war or a war involving other weapons of mass destruction. It does not matter if such a ruinous policy is adopted by the USA or China or Russia or any other emerging great power, the result will be the same. In recent years the most obstinate and non-rational pursuit of…

Proxy War in Reverse—Client and Proxy States Can Also Try to Use Big Powers to Serve Their Interests
Big powers have often tried to use smaller countries to fight their wars against other countries, particularly against other big powers. The widespread prevalence of such proxy wars is well-recognized. The USA has been involved in several proxy wars. The Ukraine war has been widely discussed as a proxy war of the USA which uses Ukraine to harm Russia as much as possible. Such wars are increasingly preferred by a great power like the USA as any loss of its own soldiers is avoided and so the chances of the public opinion at home turning against the war are significantly…

Commemorating 9/11 This article was first published on March 31, 2017. An earlier version was published in 2015. Next week, we will be commemorating the 23 anniversary of the 9/11. There are many contradictions which have been casually ignored, one of which is relationship between the Bush and Bin Laden families. Lest we forget, one day before the 9/11 attacks, as well as on the morning of 9/11, the dad of the sitting President of the United States of America, George Herbert Walker Bush was meeting none other than Shafiq bin Laden, the brother of the alleged terror mastermind Osama bin Laden. It was…

Republicans called Obama a communist, when all his worst actions as president were continuations and expansions of Bush’s policies. Democrats called Trump a Nazi when his worst acts were continuations and expansions of Obama’s policies. Now we’re back to calling Harris a communist, while she supports a genocide that Republicans also support. Calling Kamala Harris a communist isn’t wrong because it degrades Harris, it’s wrong because it degrades communism. The Biden-Harris administration is knowingly helping the Israeli government wage a campaign of extermination in Gaza that has shocked and horrified the entire world. Does anyone actually believe Harris would win if she…

The atrocities unfolding in Gaza as part of Israel’s October 2023 military operations have a deep, complex history. What is now being referred to as a genocide—an unrelenting campaign of mass violence and destruction—was not an impromptu decision, but part of a broader strategic doctrine that has been in play for over two decades. The Israeli government has invoked its doctrine of “Justified Vengeance,” first formulated in 2001, to frame its actions as defensive, claiming that despite Palestine’s limited military capability, it is the aggressor and that Israel has the right to “defend itself.” This justification has been the foundation…

As the world grapples with the aftermath of the October 7, 2023, attacks and Israel’s brutal military response, many are left questioning the true origins and intent behind these escalating conflicts. This isn’t the first time war has been framed in a way to suit political motives, and false flag operations—historically used to manipulate public opinion—continue to play a central role in modern warfare. James Morcan aptly notes that to prepare a populace for war, leaders often cultivate an atmosphere of fear, hatred, or mistrust. Whether the target is another nation, religion, or group, the goal is the same: to…

Tinubu’s presidency is truly surpassing all expectations. I say this not to glorify him but to caution the Nigerian people. He is transforming into a dreaded figure and preying on the country’s wealth. We are watching history evolve right before our eyes. As Alhaji Sule Lamido puts it, Tinubu is an emperor and will be difficult to dislodge in 2027. This is why I link his era to that of Mobutu. Generations have changed since Mobutu Sese Seko was ousted in Zaire, the former name of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Mobutu ruled from 1965 to 1997. His…

As we all now, Telegram’s founder, Pavel Durov was arrested in Paris-Le Bourget Airport in France based on specific allegations that his platform is being used for “drug trafficking and the distribution of child sexual abuse images.” I must say, how convenient to accuse Durov of these charges as censorship on a global scale is out of control. Mainly the US, UK, the European Union, and Israel’s political establishment has been at the forefront with Big Tech companies such as YouTube, Vimeo, META (formally Facebook), X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, Google are all on a war path against free speech advocates who are considered a threat to the establishment. There are even…

The ongoing war in Ukraine has deeply divided international opinion, and the heavy involvement of European nations under the NATO umbrella has sparked significant debate. It is becoming increasingly clear that Europe’s decision to align itself with the United States’ approach to the conflict is not just questionable but borders on irrationality. This blind adherence to U.S. policy through NATO involvement presents numerous economic, political, and strategic risks for European countries, risks that could outweigh any potential benefits in the long run. The Economic Impact on Europe From an economic standpoint, the consequences of Europe’s participation in the war have…

Israel is Seeking to Destroy Pavel Durov in France as If He is a Proxy for Hamas. Part I The French government’s arrest on 25 Aug. of Telegram’s founder, builder and operating manager, Pavel Durov, is a telling sign of these tumultuous times. It is alleged that France’s problematic President, Emmanuel Macron, lured Durov to Paris with a mafia-style dinner invitation. Durov became a citizen of France six years ago after Macron tried unsuccessfully to woo Telegram and its founder to set up business in France. Durov is native of Russia, the world’s largest country in which the criminalized Big Tech martyr…

The Associated Press reports that many of the recruits drafted under Ukraine’s new conscription law lack the motivation and military indoctrination required to actually aim their weapons and fire at Russian soldiers. “Some people don’t want to shoot. They see the enemy in the firing position in trenches but don’t open fire. … That is why our men are dying,” said a frustrated battalion commander in Ukraine’s 47th Brigade. “When they don’t use the weapon, they are ineffective.” This is familiar territory to anyone who has studied the work of U.S. Brigadier General Samuel “Slam” Marshall, a First World War veteran and the chief…

Putin prefers dealing with the “devils that he knows” than risking a repeat of Trump’s unpredictability. Putin confirmed on Thursday during the Eastern Economic Forum’s plenary session that his previously stated support for Biden now extends to Kamala, yet friends like the famous dissident Kim Dotcom and foes like the BBC’s Russia Editor Steve Rosenberg don’t believe him. The first tweeted that it’s a “Grandmaster Chess” move on the Russian leader’s part while the second speculated that this is being done to discredit the Democrats. The reality though is that Putin is being sincere. It was explained earlier this year that “It’s Reasonable For Putin To…

The single case of polio in Gaza triggered a global outcry and an appeal by the UN, which obtained the agreement of the United States and Israel to send 1.2 million doses of vaccine (at our expense, of course). But who are we kidding? Why vaccinate children at all costs whose main risk is to be victims of the ongoing war? Why vaccinate children against a disease that can be completely eradicated by drinking water? Clean Water Is Enough to Eradicate Polio The polio virus is transmitted only by the fecal-oral route. The virus excreted in the stools of a patient…

The first thing which was denied to Palestinians was water and food. It was the onslaught of the genocide against the People of Palestine. Netanyahu ordered a complete blockade of the Gaza Strip starting on October 9, 2023, preventing and obstructing the importation of clean water, food, fuel, and essential commodities to 2.2 Million Palestinians. Dr. Gerard Delepine’s in an article entitled “clean water is enough to Eradicate Polio”. The single case of polio in Gaza triggered a global outcry and an appeal by the UN, which obtained the agreement of the United States and Israel to send 1.2 million doses of vaccine. But…

In recent years, we’ve seen a powerful movement of women empowering women, a force that has driven significant strides toward gender equality and economic independence for many women worldwide. This movement has been transformative, creating networks of support, mentorship, and opportunities that have changed countless lives. However, it’s crucial to recognize that empowerment is not a zero-sum game. Just as women have mobilized to lift each other up, it is time for us men to take a page from this playbook and develop structured initiatives to empower our fellow men, particularly those struggling in rural areas. In many rural communities,…

The escalating level of insecurity in the nation is forcing many citizens to wonder if the government can still save Nigeria. The minister of state for defence just ordered the service chiefs to relocate to the North West after militants seized two Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) armoured vehicles from Nigerian forces and set them on fire. The adage “security is everybody’s business” has its roots in reality. First and foremost, the most fundamental human right is everyone’s unalienable right to live. This assumes that everyone has the right to protect their life by any means necessary and that people generally…

The question of why Nigerians should pay as much as 1,400 naira per liter for petrol in a country rich in crude oil and boasting a significant refining capacity is a complex issue that requires a deep understanding of both global and local economic dynamics. It also demands a frank discussion about the challenges we face and the possible paths forward. As citizens, we must seek clarity and accountability from those responsible for setting these prices and managing our national resources. Let us first consider the nature of the costs involved in producing and distributing petrol within Nigeria. Although we…

In Imo State, the evolution of local governance has been a microcosm of Nigeria’s broader political landscape, marked by significant shifts in the role and effectiveness of Local Government Chairmen over the decades. During the 1980s and the early 1990s, Local Government Chairmen in Imo State were key figures in grassroots governance. These leaders were typically individuals with strong community ties and a genuine commitment to local development. Despite limited financial resources, they successfully spearheaded developmental projects such as building primary healthcare centers, schools, and rural roads. The caliber of these leaders was high; they were known for their sense…

If you think cashing a $1.5 billion cheque for doing absolutely nothing sounds like a fantasy, you haven’t been introduced to Nigeria’s Port Harcourt refinery. This facility has become a notorious symbol of waste, where significant resources are funneled into “maintenance” projects that seem only to enrich its managers while the refinery itself falls further into disrepair. Originally slated for completion in 2019, the refurbishment and upgrade of the Port Harcourt Refinery, located in Nigeria’s oil-rich Niger Delta, have been delayed repeatedly, with each administration since 1999 making promises that have yet to be fulfilled. Despite a $1.5 billion contract…

Male spousal abuse in Nigeria is a deeply misunderstood and underreported issue that affects many men across the country. Traditionally, the conversation around domestic violence has focused primarily on women as victims, often neglecting the experiences of men who suffer abuse in their homes. However, male spousal abuse is a significant issue that remains shrouded in stigma and silence, perpetuated by cultural norms, gender expectations, and a lack of institutional support. The horrors of this form of abuse are no less severe than those experienced by women, involving physical violence, emotional manipulation, economic control, and social isolation. The prevalence of…

Paternity fraud, where a woman misleads or deceives a man into believing he is the biological father of her child, is a sensitive issue in Nigeria. It has significant emotional, social, legal, and financial consequences for everyone involved. While concrete data on the prevalence of paternity fraud in Nigeria is limited, anecdotal evidence from private DNA testing centers suggests that the issue is more common than is widely recognized. In some cases, the rate of paternity discrepancies discovered through DNA tests can be as high as 40%. This indicates a need for greater public awareness and stronger legal frameworks to…

There was no one in Western Nigeria who did not know S. T. Oredein. If there was such a person, he must have just arrived from Planet Jupiter. Chief Samuel Taiwo Oredein was not just a politician. He was politics personified. He was a kingmaker. He was a godfather. In fact, he was the Big Boss. Oredein belonged to the exclusive club of the seven people who partnered with Chief Obafemi Awolowo to establish the Action Group which became the party that produced the first premier of the region. You don’t know the other founders? I will tell you. They…

In today’s media landscape, a significant portion of Americans have become victims of what many describe as media-induced confusion and mind control. The mainstream media, often accused of promoting biased narratives, has been a critical tool in shaping public opinion, fostering blind partisanship, and sustaining a climate of misinformation. This trend is particularly noticeable among American Democrats, who, critics argue, are voting without fully understanding or critically analyzing the policies and candidates they support. The consequences are profound, affecting not only electoral outcomes but also public perception of global and domestic affairs. The Role of Mainstream Media in Shaping Public…

Report on new book says that in it the Republican candidate warns the Meta CEO against interfering in the upcoming election Former US President Donald Trump has accused Mark Zuckerberg of plotting against him during the 2020 election and has warned the Meta CEO against doing it again in the vote this November, according to an excerpt from his soon-to-be released book seen by Politico. In his new book, titled ‘Save America’ and set to be published next week, Trump includes an undated photograph of himself meeting with Zuckerberg in the White House when he was president. Under the photo…

We are expected to believe that a bunch of rogue Ukrainians blew up Nord Stream without any state support – do they also have a bridge to sell us? On September 26, 2022, infrastructure vital for both Germany and the EU as a whole was attacked as never before in post-World War II, peacetime (at least formally) history. In the vicinity of the island of Bornholm, at the midpoint between the Polish and Swedish coasts, four explosions sabotaged the massive Nord Stream I and II gas pipelines, which run along the bottom of the Baltic Sea. The immediate consequences were enormous.…

Moscow has rapidly made new gains in Donbass, while Kiev continued its effort to push deeper into Russia’s Kursk Region The past week in the Russia-Ukraine conflict has seen intensive combat along the front line, with the most active hostility continuing in the border areas of Russia’s Kursk Region, as well as in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), where Moscow troops liberated multiple locations. The Russian forces have also managed to make new gains in the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR). The country’s Defense Ministry announced on Wednesday the liberation of Stelmakhovka, a large village located shortly to the east from…

Most of the ‘fourth estate’ is no longer able or willing to hold politicians accountable, and act instead like another branch of power When some combination of Western and Ukrainian terrorists with obvious state support – we still don’t know who and how precisely – destroyed the Nord Stream I and II Baltic Sea pipelines in September 2022, they caused an ecological catastrophe by releasing an unprecedented amount of the climate killer gas methane into our atmosphere. In other words, they made a hell of a stink. But that immediate impact pales in comparison with the rotten stench generated by the…

By Black Alliance for Peace Since Niger and Mali exposed that Ukraine, a nation heavily reliant on the United States for military and economic support, is supporting terrorism in the Sahel, this has starkly exposed the contradictions inherent in AFRICOM’s mission on the African continent. AFRICOM was established under the premise of combating terrorism and ensuring stability in Africa. However, if a U.S.-backed government is actively aiding terrorist groups in the Sahel, it suggests that AFRICOM’s role may not be as straightforward as it claims. Instead, it could be seen as part of a broader strategy that perpetuates instability and…

Two weeks ago, I was prompted to write “Censorship on Steroids: Truthteller Alert,” in response to unprecedented internet censorship, co-timed with increasing persecution of highly visible truthtellers. Nearly a decade ago, I wrote a Global Research article entitled “A History of America’s War on Whistleblowers and Journalists Since 9/11.” The list of dead American whistleblowers and journalists is long – Shireen Abu Akleh in 2022, Michael Collins Piper in 2015, Serena Shim in 2014, Mike Ruppert in 2014, Michael Hastings in 2013, Jack Wheeler in 2010, Roland Carnaby in 2008, Gary Webb in 2004, John O’Neill on 9/11, Danny Casolaro in 1991, all likely targeted extrajudicial political assassinations. These bold truthtellers paid the ultimate heaviest price telling the truth, determined to expose the egregious crimes committed by…

Geopolitics is an approach to politics that stresses the features imposed on foreign policy by geographical location, environment, and natural resources. Geopolitics as a discipline contributes to the emphasis on continuity in contemporary political realism. The focal idea of geopolitics is that those who control the Eurasian landmass (Heartland) dominate global politics. Regarding this idea, Ukraine has always been a significant part of Heartland. Therefore, many great powers have been fighting to impose their control over the territory of contemporary Ukraine (or part of it) from the Middle Ages up to today (for instance, Poland, Lithuania, Russia, Sweden, Vikings, Ottoman Empire). Nevertheless,…

On August 15, 2024, the United Nations reported that over 40,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed by Israel since the start of the October 7, 2023, war. The United Nations further reported that Israel is violating a multitude of international laws. Nevertheless, as reported by CBS News the same month, the Biden Administration has just sent another $20 billion in military aid to this criminal government. The USA is the world’s only remaining superpower and doesn’t seem to care what the rest of the world thinks. But the rest of the world does care. As reported by CBS News, over 140…

According to The New York Times, Washington and London collaborated with the Ukrainians in the invasion of Kursk, allowing for better execution of border operations, while American officials have expressed their skepticism that Ukraine will be able to hold onto the territory it captured from Russia. Yet, despite this incredulity, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claims that Russia has not been deterred from expanding its military operations in Ukraine into Sumy Oblast. The US and the UK have provided Ukraine with satellite images and other information about the Kursk region following the invasion by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the US newspaper reported. “Within days of…
