Kamala Harris Privilege

frontporchphilosopher's avatarThe Front Porch Philosopher

There are many things to know about Kamala Harris. Americans will take a closer look at the former presidential contender tonight, as she debates Vice President Mike Pence. But in this post, I’d like to start with her unique background. Most Americans will be surprised to find Kamala Harris among the most elite-pedigreed candidates to run for high national office. She is truly the 1% of the 1%.


Per Kamala’s father, she is descended from a notorious slave owner in Jamaica. Donald Harris, a former economics professor at Stanford, wrote: “My roots go back, within my lifetime, to my paternal grandmother Miss Chrishy (née Christiana Brown), descendant of Hamilton Brown, who is on record as plantation and slave owner and founder of Brown’s Town.” Hamilton owned over 1,100 slaves over the years, including some as young as one month old.


Per Kamala’s mother, she is a member of…

The Pandemic & Oil

Dispatches From The Edge

Conn Hallinan

Sept. 6, 2020

During the reign of the Emperor Justinian I (527-565 AD), a mysterious plague spread out of the Nile Valley to Constantinople and finished off the Roman Empire. Appearing first in China and North India, the “Black Death” (Yersinia pestis) radiated throughout the Mediterranean and into Northern Europe. It may well have killed close to half the world’s population, some 50 million people.

Covid-19 is not the Black Death, but its impact may be civilizational, weakening the mighty, raising up the modest, and rearranging axes of power across the globe.

The Middle East is a case in point. Since the end of World War II, the wealth of the Persian Gulf monarchies—Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait and Qatar—has overturned the traditional centers of power that dominated the region for millennia: Turkey, Egypt and Persia. While…

MADAGASCAR. Remède malgache : marche arrière de l’OMS, victoire du président Andry RAJOELINA

#Madagascar. Remède malgache : marche arrière de l’OMS, victoire du président Andry Rajoelina.

-> #Africa – #BigPharma : 1 – 0… ✊🏆👏

Innocent M’badouma's avatarChina Africa Media

C’est une pirouette de l’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé certainement pour la reconnaissance du Covid-Organics, remède à la fois préventif et curatif.

En effet, Andry RAJOELINA, le président Malgache et le directeur général de l’OMS se sont entretenus le 20 mai 2020. Comme on peut l’imaginer, les conversations ont porté, entre autres, sur le Covid-Organics. “L’OMS signera une clause de confidentialité sur la formulation du CovidOrganicset appuiera le processus d’observations cliniques qui s’étendra sur tout le continent africain”, a indiqué le président malgache.

Cette entente est une avancée significative. On se souvient qu’à travers une déclaration de la directrice Afrique, l’OMS avait quasiment refoulé le covid-organics et tous les remèdes issus de la pharmacopée africaine. Sur ce, l’OMS s’était attirée les foudres de la communauté africaine. Et,des nombreux chefs d’État africains se sont approvisionnés auprès de Madagascar.

Nombreux sont ceux qui demandaient à l’OMS de plutôt faire…

India as a Tool to Contain China — Geopolitics Explained

World Affairs - Non-Partisan and Objective's avatarWorld Affairs

Four years ago, I wrote an article explaining how there were ulterior motives behind the US allowing Indians to become CEO’s of big American corporations. Now, India has gone further down that path and has almost definitely sealed its fate as a satellite of the US. The consequence will be that India will be stuck in the middle-income trap forever and won’t have much sovereignty in the spheres of economics or foreign policy.

Geopolitics 101

Let me explain the basics of geopolitics. A superpower like the US maintains its status by keeping all the potential rivals weak. Here’s a chart of how the US would like the world to look like:

When one of the rivals gets a bit too strong, it will be attacked mercilessly. For example, by 2012, Russia’s GDP had grown 1000% in a decade. Immediately, the US created problems in Ukraine, brought down the price…

Pompeo pushing for war in Iraq

Ahmed A S's avatarQutnyti

Introduction:

While the President of the United States and the majority of the White House remains occupied with the coronavirus crisis. The death of General Soleimani, consequent ‘pull-out’ from Afghanistan and the USA’s gradual decline as the global policeman have had the hawks and the neocons in Washington distraught. While the US empire starts to decline, the US General White in his letter suggested the US to fully ‘pull-out’ from the country. This exemplifies that the Pentagon and the US military body is reluctant to go into further conflict in the Middle East region, as often pushed by the Warhawks and neocons such as Mike Pompeo (Secretary of State), John Bolton (former National Security Advisor) and Gina Haspel (CIA Director).

Background:

Since the illegal toppling of Saddam Hussein, Iraq has fallen under the influence of Iran. The Shia-Sunni cold war has been waging ever since. Prior to the fall of…
