For those new to my work and what I'm all about, I'm a Canadian who looks outward. There is no such thing as "Western" civilization. As I wrote in my book, "The West will begin to understand Africa when it realizes it's not talking to a child--it's talking to its mother."

Just a reminder: these photos federal agents are taking are part of a growing surveillance state w no oversight. Agents use facial recognition, phone tracking, license plate readers, fused government databases built by contractors like Palantir. What was tested on immigrants is expanding to citizens

Since the BBC is pushing the angle that Iranian protesters are significantly monarchist (questionable), it's worth reading again how Reza Pahlavi, son of the late Shah, is no friend of democracy.

Is Reza Pahlavi Iran’s Key to Democracy?
Reza Pahlavi's supporters push for Iran to shift from a theocracy to a monarchy, likening it to Spain's transition under Juan Carlos.

Big Media lies & claims Amhara are Ethiopia's historical villains. So I wrote a novel that makes them into heroes.
The West paints migrants as criminals. So I wrote a story that makes a refugee a freedom fighter.
Here is the story behind SABESHYA. 👇

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?
