ParticipantHi, emersonreturn, a few days ago you had a comment about the inventor in Zimbabwe who was producing self-powered cars, and Mr P had responded with what I thought was an outstanding master-class on thermodynamics.
When I came back to look for it, to make some notes, that comment seems to have disappeared. Any idea if I am looking at the wrong thread?

I agree with Grieved, Tesla’s principles are scary and truly revolutionary, and dangerous in wrong hands or use. In the End, much of the ancient technologies the ancients used in the Beginning of History will return.. 5G for example and other wireless tech he tapped into, appear one… that aether ain’t empty, and unusual means of communication and transportation exist. Tesla was an anointed occultist who openly said he communicated with “aliens.” He lived and died most of his life in USA in hotels, dying on the 33rd floor of the New Yorker Hotel. [01] [02] Brother Casey spent much time connecting to Trump Tower – one or both had the shape of the modern symbol for the wifi symbol/5G – the sine qua non modality of mind control of the Last Satanic Empire, potentiated by vaxxes and other toxins, and mind modulators. So you could say Tesla was a high priest to the NWO, bringing back their olden days.. Curiously upon his death, his work and papers were received by Trump’s uncle, John G. Trump, an MIT physicist.. it’s a deep rabbit hole, and a Big Club. So many paths in the last century lead to the Last American Prez, currently floundering as our universal marmalade moron

ParticipantPresident Traoré is doing excellent work in developing Burkina Faso into a sovereign, wealthy and strong nation. Witness the gigantic absence of any good news coming out of Burkina Faso.
Instead we’re treated with the standard ‘activists forcibly disappeared’, ‘jihadi insurgency’, ‘savior or dictator’ blurbs, as well as the novel ‘gun-wearing sparks concern’.
Such coping. Soon we’ll see ‘Burkina Faso growing at breakneck speed, but at what cost?’ headlines.
Edit:
On closer inspection, I cannot find any footage of these new hospitals. There is mention of mobile military hospitals elsewhere. Oh, YouTube.
Nevertheless, I did find footage of gold bars being produced by the Burkinabé themselves $$$.

KeymasterExcellent points. In addition to coping, it is PsyWar, to work to reduce both the awareness (and resultant admiration and thus emulation) by the global majority, especially within Africa.
The same stale narrative and media ops as levied against Russia (“they’re losing, losing, losing!”) or China (“their economy is cratering, cratering, cratering!”).
iow, the work to level and keep others down, in order to easier control and impart a false image of advancement solely within the Garden, continues unabated — so that the one-eyed hunchback may forever continue to lead the starving blind. What pitiful criminals.
All they have left is lies, optics, narrative, distraction, slander, and more lying effluvia. Absolute unprincipled lying dementia. An Empire of Lies and Illusions.
But the joke’s on them now. Too many are aware of their permanently warped terminal toxicity — and drift away to save their own sanity and avoidance of false negativity and doom & gloom. Only the captive hostages within the Golden Billion remain rapt, for the most, for now… and Depressions have arrived which shall remove the lying gloss & glitter even for the hostages

ParticipantHT, i posted an incredible video on a new state of the art hospital that was nearing completion in burkina faso…it seems months ago, regrettably in days where minutes are decades i don’t remember. simply that i was so taken with it i shared it with several doctors i know just to brighten their day (given the state of medicine in canada it’s hard not to be discouraged) as well as a young med student in LA deciding where/what she wants to practice.
& now i cannot find it!! it really was indelible…not quite as state of art & mind blowing as some we see from china, but very close. so close, watching it i felt like china may’ve played some part, & it’s possible delegations from burkina faso have travelled to china as they have to russia, it doesn’t seem improbable.
overall, the videos on so many sites are suspiciously prolific & slick, they don’t feel grass roots—yet the change sweeping the continent is real. glorious! miraculous! & the desire to share some of its news is like nothing i’ve felt in my 80yrs. if it is fraudulent—the wizards are playing with the power of dreams, of prophesy, of all that is heavenly & beyond anything they can imagine let alone control—it has taken hold! their play manifests, it breathes & lives. perhaps the sheer number is evidence, like shells left in its wake.

That inspiring video was probably removed. God forbid people may feel uplifted and joyful about good news coming from outside the ‘garden’. Let alone from Africa.
Having said that, the little genuine news (before it’s censored) that comes from Burkina Faso and its neighbors is very inspiring and invigorating. I appreciate that you and others on this site continue to share it.

KeymasterI don’t want to knock the enthusiasm. But, it is better to be realistic. Some of these channels are simply there for clicks and will tell anything to get those clicks. There is no footage, because it is just starting. The video itself uses stock photography and most of the people don’t even look like local people.
The 55 ‘ultra modern hospitals’ are actually something in the 30s. They are not hospitals but more rural type health clinics. To make up the number, there are a few specialist clinics and a number of mobile rural clinics on wheels.
Whatsover, this is a wonderful initiative. There is one very big hospital which is a teaching hospital, and that was built and is still being developed built with Chinese investment, and Chinese teaching.
So this is somewhat like the free energy vehicles out of Zimbabwe, which is just not accurate (refer Mr.P).

KeymasterThis is good news:
The president of Burkina Faso, Ibrahim Traore – who is a Muslim – has reportedly declined an offer from Saudi Arabia to build 200 mosques in his country, according to African Hub.
Instead, Traore suggested that Saudi Arabia invest in schools, hospitals, or businesses that would create jobs for the Burkinabe people.
Saudi funded mosques are usually associated with the Wahhabi strand of Islam, the ideology of many extremist and Takfiri groups that have been used to destabilize countries.
In 2009, then Secretary of State Hilary Clinton testified before a Congressional subcommittee on how the US brought militants from Saudi Arabia, “importing their Wahhabi brand of Islam,” to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan.
President Trump accused the Obama Administration of being the “founders” of ISIS. In a 2014 lecture to Harvard students on foreign policy, VP Joe Biden explained how US allies – including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey – used terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda to overthrow the Assad government in Syria.

HT
ParticipantYes, I saw this item come by too.
President Traore is no fool and understood that this offer was an ideological Trojan horse, so to speak.
Instead, he wisely and politely suggested the Saudis help in a different way that would benefit his people more.
~
On a different note, it is remarkable how President Traore at his relative young age has deeply understood the workings of the so-called Western powers and their comprador
alliesservants. He’s definitely very intelligent. And brave. He loves his people and country. Therefore, his actions are noble and wise.I wonder too, where he picked up on all the tricks the Western elite execute to keep African states under their thumb. Was it mere observation plus using his own brain? Did he glean from Sankara and others? Perhaps, reading the Global South website every day? Probably a bit of everything, now that I’m writing this.
Either way, he embodies the return of the good king. Like Solomon or Cyrus, and many others from our collective human history. Perhaps, he really is the reincarnation of someone like Sankara, coming back with a vengeance. A leader like that only comes by once a century for a nation, maybe even less often. We treasure him.

Keymasterthe bravery of Traore is commendable (and he will likely be viciously denied any further investments by the entire cabal of GCC) but most noteworthy is the open aggression by offering essentially 200 madrassas! Any salafi “mosque” functions as a satanic indoctrination camp to mindwash new generations, to serve as recruitment centers for Empire.
Nothing new under the sun. Decades ago in western civ history courses I was taught the moto of the western Pirates was “Guns, Gold, and God”. In that order, so as to invade, plunder, then pacify for unending rent extraction. This is the Way of the Pirate in a nutshell
All they’ve done since WW1 is outsource the “Islamic” part to the rabid mindless salafis. This is most useful as the wealthiest lands with most resources under their soil are in the some 50+ Islamic lands.
What this shocking offer to Traore indicates is the salafis cannot change. Like the Anglo-Zionists, they are scorpions too, who even crossing rivers on the backs of frogs, cannot help themselves. One track minds. Today they are perched literally moments from annihilation by Persia and Yemen, about to lose all the oil source of their wealth, and be asset-stripped in the West to complete the demolition, yet they continue the Drang against their “brethren” in other muslim lands, like a cancerous tumor fighting to extend itself even as it dies to lack of nutrient and overgrowth.
But there are alotta good prophesies of the End Times and the end of Salafism and all extremism. Their fate mirrors that of their spiritual brethren the Anglos, and the Zionazis. A preview was served by the Red Army in Berlin of 1945. Those who live by the Sword….
~~~
if interested, here are the corresponding “western madrassas“, set up through Alice Bailey, the UN’s Lucis Trust and Common Core. It is a Big Club…
Alice Bailey: when you are changing a nation, don’t bother with the old people, they are too stuck in the old traditions, they will not change, but GO FOR THE CHILDREN.
She said ‘go for the children especially 10 years and below’, since 1945 i.e. any person below 60 years can be a victim of the ideas and the deceptions of this prophetess of the New Age. She came out with a 10 POINT CHARTER that is placed in the House of Lords – House of Commons in the U.K.

Sudan threatens to hit Chad’s airports in retaliation for attacks from its soil, army commander says:
-
March 24, 2025 at 13:58 #54490
AHH
KeymasterI saw that earlier. It is getting hard to keep up. wars keep spreading. We’re gonna have to write off Sudan for now. Whilst the West and salafis are still around, they’re putty in their hands – like babes being toyed with in the cradle. But after Armageddon, their men will be among the heroes that rush to the Holy Land to help conclude matters.
Chad played a solid role protecting the western Sahelian Juntas and evicting Frenchie. But it took the thirty silver pieces from the Emirates too – hard for a dirt poor nation itself embroiled in wars for decades to say no to moneybags. Chad became a crucial logistical route for arms and mercenaries and whatnot fueling the Sudanese civil war.
Sudan DOES have a right to defend itself. It has actually lost more fighters than Hamas and Hezbollah combined in the brutal last year, and millions of internally and regionally displaced in the biggest disaster and genocide, including the Gaza.
Sudan will continue to be massacred because:
- they are part of the Arab league, in an era ALL amaleks are slated for total extermination
- a people who love the Palestinian cause and despise imperialism and slavery, having humbled the British Empire at its peak,
- quite martial AND numerous like Yemenis,
- and too close to the Holy Land for zionazi comfort (a direct land route, with only the intervening Egypt)
Their annihilation, like all USUK wars of the last century in the middle east, were to safeguard Zion come what may, and help birth the Moshiach.
And the Junta that leads them lacks all wisdom. Their sea of mistakes is mind-boggling, perhaps matched only by UkroNazis. They’ve been affiliated with Muslim Brotherhood, and even normalized with Netanyahoo! Their Junta general met with Zelensky to ingratiate himself with Empire, as late as Oct 2023 (photo). They repeatedly broke promises to Russians and delayed receiving their help until AFTER they lost the capital and much of the country. They’re now regaining it at a stupendous price that will take decades of recovery, if ever. Much of their country is Gaza’ed. Salafis and the Generals in their fractured Labyrinths – the plague of the global south. Unbelievable. The Sudanese elites of all persuasions committed seppuku to match that of western elites.

ParticipantThis is an unfortunate development, and is bound to come up again and again. There is no way I can see how to solve this, unless the two governments get together and come up with a mutually acceptable solution.
Apart from salary inequities, which will always be there, there is also competence inequalities, which I am familiar with. A few years back, a friend of mine of Kashmiri ancestry, who was an officer in the army in an East African country, was visiting me here in Canada. He told me the Chinese were training local African men to drive the trains that China had donated. The men at the time could barely drive cars, and it was impossible to train them to drive the trains. So they decided to train women instead. Never heard back from him, so hope it turned out okay.

KeymasterYes, in addition to cultural mismatch and missteps, it is likely unfortunate geopolitics.
China entered Africa long after the West, and when the latter had established many lamentable patterns. So some Chinese likely assumed to continue the predatory “western template” was acceptable, as this is what locals expected. Also how much of the Chinese trendsetters were private interests versus state companies?
Young Richard may not understand this history, and nuances, and is overly emotional, lol
The Africans aren’t all innocent either. Niger, among wealthiest on earth in terms of minerals and subsoil resources, can afford to play hardball. Mali recently pulled off a similar stunt against Canada’s Barrick Gold and another Aussie gold corporation, including holding their CEO hostage (!) Niger is neighbor of Mali and in the new Sahelian union (AES), and may be emulating a new “muscular approach.” This appears part of the renegotiation dance. China, and all other heavy weights, will come back. There are no alternatives in many areas….
And we do not know all the details. What if the entire is a shell game cooked up between China and Niger to deflect the inevitable sabotage between China and Africans, by the usual suspects??
One efficient way to get ALL foreigners to pay a fair living wage and price for resources without much fuss is the ongoing humiliation ritual of the biggest foreign investor of all! So it recalibrates onto new templates for all players.
And none can afford to abandon west-central Africa which already has among the world’s greatest economic growth, and is projected to continue on this track for the foreseeable decades, whilst having the youngest populations on earth with tremendous undeveloped natural resources.
Both Russia and China keep saying Africa is the future, and these are telling words. Not least because the former developed world in pique decided to commit sepukku rather than lose its position on top of the food chain. FDI needs to flow somewhere…. and none provide higher opportunities and returns. Africans can afford to pet rough
So whatever truly underlies this brouhaha, it shall pass like the tempest in the teapot. Both sides are part of the global south. They need each other. They will reequilibrate to a new modus vivendi…

⭕ From Colonial Legacy to National Identity: Why Hausa Could Be Niger’s Best Choice for National Language, Political Analyst Explains“It is better to promote a national language spoken by the majority of Nigeriens than to continue to talk about sovereignty by promoting a colonial language,” Nigerien socio-economic and political analyst Issoufou Boubacar Kado Magagi told Sputnik Africa.
At a time when French has become a mere working language, Hausa can offer serious advantages as a national language, he said, commenting on Niger’s Refoundation Charter, published this week, which designates Hausa as an official language.
“The choice of Hausa as a national language was not due to subjectivity, but due to the influence and spread of the language around the world,” the expert explained.
The analyst emphasized that Hausa:
- boasts 80% native speakers among Nigeriens;
- ranks as Africa’s third most spoken language, with about 100 million speakers;
- serves as a vital commercial language in all countries bordering Niger;
- is promoted by UNESCO through the development of a dictionary;
- is widely used in academic institutions in Nigeria, Europe, the United States, Sudan, and Egypt.
⭕️ Sudan Accuses UAE of Complicity in Genocide at UN’s Top Court, Urges Action to End Atrocities
“The genocide against the Masalit [ethnic group] is being carried out by the RSF, believed to be Arab from [West] Darfur [state], with the support and complicity of the UAE,” Justice Minister Muawia Osman told the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
According to the minister, some 10,000-15,000 Masalit were killed by the RSF and allied groups in West Darfur last year. A similar potential catastrophe could happen in the North Darfur state if its capital El Fasher falls to the rebels, Osman emphasized.
The UAE’s logistical and other support to the RSF rebels is fueling the ongoing genocide marked by killings, rapes, displacement, and destruction of property, the Sudanese official noted.
Meanwhile, the UAE rejected Sudan’s accusations. “It is a cynical and baseless PR stunt,” a top official at the UAE Ministry, Reem Ketait, told reporters ahead of the hearing at the ICJ.
Sudan filed a case at the ICJ in early March, accusing the UAE of breaching its obligations under the 1948 UN Genocide Convention. |media|

⭕ 🇺🇸🇲🇦🇩🇿 US leaves Algeria without SaharaUS Secretary of State Marco Rubio, meeting with his Moroccan counterpart Nasser Bourita, expressed support for Morocco’s plan to grant Western Sahara autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty. According to Rubio, this is the “only serious basis” for resolving the decades-old conflict.
The US position does not suit Algeria, which advocates for the right of the Sahrawi people to self-determination and supports the authorities of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR).
Marco Rubio’s words provoked a response from Algeria. In a statement, the country’s Foreign Ministry expressed regret over such a position of a permanent member of the UN Security Council, “which must be committed to respecting international law in general and Security Council resolutions in particular.”
“Any neutrality in this context does not serve the cause of resolving the conflict and does not in any way change the facts that have been recognized and established by the UN through all its official bodies, including the General Assembly, the Security Council and the International Court of Justice,” the Algerian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
According to analysts, the US position will have little impact on the political and military situation in the region, leaving the conflict open.
The Moroccan proposal, presented to the UN in 2007, would grant the Saharawi people broad autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty. Under the plan, local affairs would be decided by elected bodies, and Morocco would manage foreign, defense and security policy.

⭕ 🇸🇩Sudan: A Nation in Crisis as Civil War Enters Third YearThe Sudanese civil war continues to devastate the country, with millions displaced, famine conditions worsening, and atrocities mounting. Nearly 15 million people have been uprooted, and over 30 million require humanitarian aid. The conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has led to widespread destruction, particularly in Darfur and Khartoum State, with reports of ethnic cleansing, gender-based violence, and attacks on critical infrastructure.
Despite the SAF’s recapture of Khartoum in March 2025, the RSF has intensified its campaign in northern Sudan, targeting key sites like the Merowe Dam. International aid efforts are severely underfunded, with only 12% of the $4.1 billion appeal secured. Neighboring countries, such as Chad, struggle to host refugees, while cross-border raids and arms trafficking raise fears of regional destabilization.

Make up all the stories you want about ancient seas, after the fact, but how’s that biological origin of oil model working for all you others, actually? Maybe might want to consider the abiotic model?
Anyway, Burkina Faso will have to be very strong now, sitting on that wealth, not only to safeguard it from the predators – a massive challenge – but also to get it to the people, equally massive.

KeymasterI’ve just posted this on the Dailies but that will go away, so, here is a copy for the thread:
The Alliance of Sahel States is the confederation formed between Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso. This is the most optimistic initiative in Africa, and under the initiative of emersonreturn, there is a fine thread in the Hearty Salon keeping us up to date with the significant progress of Ibrahim Traoré, the primary mover and shaker of Burkina Faso. Hospitals, the Development Bank, the localized gold industry, and working with Russia on security, and grassroots development are beautiful to see. https://sovereignista.com/globalsouthforum/topic/africa-iv/
But now, they are facing their first major threat from the usual:
At a recent U.S. Senate hearing, Marine Corps General Michael Langley, Commander of U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), accused Captain Ibrahim Traoré of using Burkina Faso’s gold reserves for personal protection rather than for the benefit of the people. The hearing was led by none other than Senator Roger Wicker—proudly sporting a Ukrainian flag pin—who raised several questions about China and Russia’s growing influence on the continent. Once again, Washington reveals its neo-colonial ambitions in Africa, targeting independent leaders who refuse to fall in line.
They have just gotten rid of Fleabag France as their neo-colonial master by decisively kicking them out, and the next colonial robber baron stands in line with this crock of smelly stuff. What business is it of AFRICOM what Burkina Faso does with its gold that now stands ready to be used for development?

KeymasterHahaha! There WAS a Modi who showed up in Moskau for the Victory Day.. the same Modi who after a bloodless and pleasant coup in the hot summer of 2023 hosted the sweating Frau Nuland in Africa over tea and cookies and then sent her on her way without an audience with his boss, General Abdourahamane Tchiani.
💠 @Sputnik Africa:
⭕ Russian Defense Minister Holds Talks With His Nigerien CounterpartKey statements made by Andrey Belousov during the bilateral meeting:

- Russia is committed to expanding military ties and supports the AES’ effort to build a new regional security architecture and independent foreign policy;
- Cooperation with African partners is a long-term strategic priority, personally overseen by the Russian president;
Key statements made by Corps General Salifou Modi:
- Modi thanked Belousov for the invitation to the Victory Day anniversary;
- The Nigerien minister expressed gratitude for Russia’s attention and support for Niger and the Sahel Confederation.

Keymasterthe cruel colonialists left most of their neocolonies willfully disarmed, dependent on them for basic security.
For example, before the coup, I recall neighboring Niger was permitted only a total army of 10,000 – in a nation of 25,000,000. That’s about 0.04% of the population. Not enough to safeguard even the capital!
For reference, Russia has about 1.4% of her population under arms (and during full existential totalen war, even if not fully mobilized). USA, the hyper-aggressor of our world, has some 0.5% of her population, not counting national guards, coast guard, millions of mercs, etc etc..
And Niger is 21st largest country on earth by area! 1,300,000 km². For reference, this is bigger than France, UK, and Germany COMBINED. Permitted to have a land army of about 10,000…….
The criminal intent is writ large.
So we understand why Palestinians will starve and be annihilated en masse rather than be disarmed as the crazies demand of Hamas. The same for Iran and her ballistic missiles. To voluntarily disarm is to descend into the Heart of Darkness as most of Africa has been kept by force.
This is how most of Africa has no electricity, paved roads, running water, modern cities, or basic services. The Gatling and the high leather boot transmogrified into the most invisible bestial control system in human history – an Empire of the very Mind. Run by Uncle Tom compradores and an army of suited Economic Hitmen who vacuum extracted all worthwhile, including the braindrain and young excess labor
There is fortunately a furious arming and recruitment process underway in all the Sahelian Juntas, as their armies expand to the needed size to secure their vast lands. The three combined AES confederation of Mali, Niger and Burkina have an area of 2,800,000 km² – which make them the 8th largest territory worldwide, just after India at 3,160,000 km². They would cover almost 1/3 of the continental USA..
So these Korean (and Russian) heroes are stop gap measures sent in heartfelt goodwill until they train and get up-armed sufficiently to take over. And they’re getting there – why we do not hear as much about terrorist successes lately – veterans and fresh boots are returning all the time to deal with them, in addition to streams of Russians replacing Wagner. All the Sahelians have been gaining tremendous experience in the SMO, and against the same foe they face back at home.. Time, numbers, correlation of forces and Nemesis are on their side.
Traoré’s top talking point in his meeting with Putin today was the import of Russian STEM education and the knowledgebase so as to help develop and institutionalize the permanent wherewithal to defend themselves.
The whirlwind the demons have sown has arrived. On every quadrant on earth they can expect to be served their own medicine, and without reservation
