Now that the French are in Kenya for the Africa Forward summit ,you will see a whole lot of 'colonisation 2.0' ,sijui selling the country and all that Pan African noise, largely driven what they see in West Africa ,where failed states abound, farmers are just massacred in the streets and their people risk their lives to cross the Sahara on foot, drown in the Mediterranean just to flee the 'revolutions'. These revolutionary leaders will tell you that all their problems are caused by France ,France shares some responsibility but in reality these countries are very much to blame for their failure (often caused by revolutionary leaders who come in through coups).

Take Mali for example, Mali has had 4 Northern rebellions, led by the Touaregs who are an Arab - Berber tribe living in vast swathes of the Sahara in Niger, Mali, Algeria and Libya. They are muslim but not exactly fundamentalists or anything. As you go farther South you start seeing Fulani peoples before you get to the Niger River bend and after that you start seeing the more Bambara folk i.e the folks we commonly think of when we think of Malians. The Malian state has for decades just straight up abandoned the Touaregs ,continuing a French colonial policy and so the Touaregs rebel ,a war breaks out and a peace deal is signed but the Malians don't hold up their end, no roads ,no schools, no water, no healthcare facilities, nothing, nothing except Malian soldiers deployed in scattered garrisons in the north to show the presence of the Malian state. To a Touareg there, the only time they interact with anything Malian is when they see a Malian soldier, who is often poorly paid, equipped and sometimes not even fed since someone at the defense ministry stole their provisions and sold/gave them away to Al Qaeda.

Speaking of Al Qaeda, remember that Touaregs are muslim but not fundamentalists, now as you get closer to the Niger River bend there are Fulani peoples, who are also muslim but they are a bit more religious ,so someone in the 80s and 90s in Mali figured out that they would bring in radical Al Qaeda Imams from the Maghreb to this region and use Al Qaeda to control the Touaregs and thus Mali invited Al Qaeda into it's lands. When Gadaffi was overthrown, most Touaregs returned to Mali and found that nothing had changed since they left in the 90s, they were armed, very broke and to make matters worse a devastating drought had swept the region. Had Mali sent even a single well digger? Food aid? No ,but Al Qaeda ,for some reason had relief food to provide to people. Anyway the Touaregs rebelled and this time the Malian state was unable to contain the rebellion since the Touaregs allied with Al Qaeda and swept the entire North. Hungry Malian soldiers sold their guns for food and just ran home.

So ,of course ,the soldiers did a coup because that always works, but it didn't and in fact things were getting worse as the Touaregs declared a newly independent state in Mali (Azawad). Mali could negotiate with secular Touareg rebels but Al Qaeda influence was growing and they could not negotiate with these ones. The new military junta in Mali was running out of options ,by July 2012 Al Qaeda had pushed the Touaregs out and were basically running the North. The Malian junta was running around West Africa begging for anyone to help ,Nigeria, Chad, Senegal offered token help but it wasn't enough so they asked France for help. The help arrived and within a very short time they had pushed Al Qaeda out.

The French then began running into a problem which is the same problem the Russiabs are running into now. They face a Malian govt that is unwilling to create a Malian state, France, Russia can beat the rebels militarily but they can't build roads, employ teachers, build hospitals...that is not their job. Occassionally they do set up clinics ,but these are small programmes and won't do much. France used to send advisors to the Malian govt but these advisors are often just ignored, Russia does the same too but they too are ignored and won't press their case lest they be chased out and called a coloniser.

Another military coup will come, the Russians will be chased out too ,and whichever foreign country that agrees will be brought in, and the pattern will repeat itself. Meanwhile, they will turn their citizens into hordes of poor, starving refugees, bleed their country dry of the best and brightest.

Kenyans, We shouldn't get into a boat with these people ,just because we share the same skin color doesn't mean we should jump in a sinking ship.

Are you going to be attending?

The world is about to enter into a major recession or at the very least a major inflationary period and quite frankly we deserve it. We have spent the last two and a half years ignoring the crimes of that state which cannot be named in this sub , even smiling with them as if they were not committing the most heinous crimes imaginable. We even started saying the UN is useless, international law is dead and so on which further emboldened them and they proceeded to commit the most blatant act of aggression ever committed since probably the second World War.

The thing is, the UN and international law would be useless if we did not build the global economy around the principles of the UN and on the basis of international law. This enabled for true global tr*de to occur, Oil, fertilizer, wheat, Aluminium e.t.c are all tr*ded in global markets hence one disruption has a cascading effect on the world economy.

Think about this when you pay 250 for a litre of diesel, low quality diesel actually. You are paying that because a genocidal apartheid colonial state wants to continue it's genocidal, apartheid and colonial policies without consequences and another idiot wanted to post FAFO memes on social media.

Those Kenyans who were always on about how they help us in times of need, which is often during terror attacks which if you unwind the thread will always lead back to their need to continue their genocidal apartheid colonial policies, can you tell us how many shekkels in fuel subsidy have they given us.

Every few weeks we are hit with a headline figure of company X is laying Y amount of workers due to AI ,and the number is usually in the tens of thousands.

In the same vein we see headlines of how AI companies are bleeding money and constantly have to go to investors to raise extra funds and whatnot. Now this doesn't make sense, because if the AI is so good as to replace tens of thousands of workers ,AI companies should be at least turning a gross profit.

That is until you read the fine print and grasp how corporate America works, you see the American stock market loves layoffs ,like alot and it has fallen in love with all things AI ( Although signs from yesterday are showing the beginnings of this relationship cracking). So when Oracle, whose stock has been dropping announces it will lay off 30,000 workers and focus on AI ,the stock climbs. But here is the thing ,if you read the fine print it is not that Oracle has found an AI to replace 30,000 people ,its that Oracle is firing 30,000 people to free up cashflow to pour into AI spending.

These tech giants are no longer in the AI race because they expect a profit or anything of the sort, they probably realised a long time ago that AI is still a long way from profitability and the possibility of AGI is even more remote but they simply cannot afford to stay out of the AI race because even with the remotest chance that they are wrong ,their competitors will crush them ,no one wants to be like Yahoo. So they will keep on spending and spending on AI until the AI bubble bursts i.e they exhaust investor cash and that way they can all quietly retreat because they know that their competitors have also done the same. It is an insane trap to be in for real ...but most see they have no option.

The thing is, there is probably some small tech company out there we have never heard of that has no money to spend on AI but will probably stumble on the next big thing and we won't even see it coming.

Why is it that we tend to glorify so called 'African foods' but anecdotal evidence suggests otherwise, I'm saying this because one of the best indicators of a healthy population is the ability to reproduce and grow itself, something which pre-colonial Africa really lagged behind in , if you think about it ...Kenya had a population of like 3 mn in 1900 , Similarly sized France had 30 mn, Spain 18 mn.

Take rice for instance, I see people like Amerix demonise it despite consistent evidence that in regions of the world where rice is a staple ,the populations tend to be large from China, India to Nigeria and the US. If the food is so unhealthy , why is it that a place like Vietnam, despite being ravaged by the tropical diseases that ravage places like Kenya have a very high population.

Anyway I'm no nutritionist so these are just random thoughts.
