⭕ 🇳🇦 Namibia’s first President Sam Nujoma dies at 95

A hero of independence and the founding father of the country, he passed away on Saturday after spending three weeks in hospital. He was battling an illness from which he could not recover, President Nangolo Mbumba said in a statement.

Some highlights of his life:

• Born on May 12, 1929, into a farming family, Sam Nujoma was the eldest of ten children;
• Having become a railway sweeper near the capital Windhoek, he attended evening classes, where he met independence activists;
• He was the head of SWAPO, a liberation movement that he co-founded in 1960; he launched an armed struggle in 1966;
• Nujoma achieved Namibia’s independence from South Africa in 1990, which had taken over control of the territory from Germany following the First World War; he governed the country until the end of his third term in 2005;
• Nujoma called Germany’s 2021 offer of compensation of more than €1 billion for the massacre of tens of thousands of indigenous Herero and Nama people, considered the first genocide of the 20th century, insufficient.

“In Russia, Sam Nujoma will be remembered as a consistent supporter of the development of friendly relations between our countries, who did much to strengthen mutually beneficial bilateral cooperation,” the telegram published on the Kremlin website says.

Putin also notes that Nujoma’s name “is inextricably linked with the most important events in the modern history of Namibia: he led the struggle for the independence of your country and made a huge personal contribution to the construction of the institutions of Namibian statehood.”

RE: DOGE finding waste and fraud? Don’t miss the forest for the trees:

Any money system that does not fix a unit of currency to a unit of energy is functionally fraudulent, bc if currency is not tied to energy, then creating fiat currency functionally means creating energy by govt fiat, which is a violation of physics, which is fraud.

Once you are in a system that pretends it can create energy by printing currency, it is just a question of “how much fraud occurs until the system collapses?”

You will know the end of that system is near when debt gets high, rates rise, & yet the price of energy-linked neutral assets like gold & BTC rise with rates (instead of falling), as free markets scramble out of printed currency & debt into actual energy linked assets, which is happening – rates up, & yet see gold and BTC.)

⭕ 🇷🇺 Russia outlines the conditions for concluding a peace treaty with Ukraine

For Russia, it is important that any potential peace agreements with Kiev are signed by the legitimate leaders of Ukraine, Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN Vasily Nebenzya told Sputnik.

He recalled that Volodymyr Zelensky’s presidential term had ended, noting that no elections have been held since then.

Furthermore, there is still the issue of the decree banning negotiations with Moscow, which was signed by Zelensky in October 2022. This could “complicate the negotiation process and the recording of its results,” the diplomat noted.

Russia has always stressed its readiness to engage in dialogue “with all those interested in finding a long-term sustainable peace on mutually acceptable terms,” ​​Nebenzia stressed.

However, he also pointed out that the question of who will sign potential peace agreements and how they will be legally formalized still needs to be resolved.
⭕ 🇸🇴🇵🇸 Somalia will not participate in US “displacement policies” against Palestinians, the country’s foreign ministry states

⭕🔻 Maria Dubovikova: The Hidden Poetry in a Russian “Hello”: The Story Behind Здравствуйте

When you greet someone in English with a simple “hello,” you’re merely saying hi. But when Russians say “здравствуйте” (zdravstvuyte), they’re participating in an ancient tradition that carries centuries of cultural wisdom and goodwill.

This seemingly complex word, which often trips up language learners with its consonant-heavy pronunciation, is actually a beautiful testament to how language can preserve cultural values across generations. At its heart, здравствуйте isn’t just a greeting – it’s a wish for good health and prosperity.

The word’s journey through time begins in the mists of Proto-Slavic history, emerging from “*sъdorvъ” and evolving through Old Church Slavonic “съдравъ” (sŭdravŭ). Its modern form developed from the verb “здравствовать” (zdravstvovat’), meaning “to be well” or “to prosper.” The root “здрав” (zdrav) connects directly to the Russian word for health – “здоровье” (zdorovye).

What makes this greeting particularly fascinating is its dual nature. While serving as a formal “hello,” it simultaneously functions as a subtle blessing. Every time Russians use this greeting, whether they’re conscious of it or not, they’re essentially saying, “May you be healthy” or “May you prosper.”

The formality embedded in the “-те” ending adds another layer of cultural significance. This suffix transforms the greeting into a mark of respect, used when addressing elders, strangers, or multiple people. It’s a linguistic gesture that instantly establishes social boundaries and mutual respect.

In today’s fast-paced world, while many Russian speakers might not actively consider the deep meaning behind this ancient greeting, здравствуйте continues to carry its weight in gold as a testament to Russian cultural values. It reminds us that sometimes, the most common words we use can harbor the deepest expressions of human kindness and social harmony.

Next time you hear this melodious Russian greeting, remember: you’re not just hearing a “hello” – you’re witnessing a small piece of living history, carrying forward an age-old tradition of wishing wellness to fellow human beings.
🔻 WS: As always, Maria, a very interesting essay.

I would note that English has a similar, although increasingly less-used term (in its historical and etymological context):

salutations, from the Latin salutare: healthy, wholesome, good will to you

AfCRA will specialize in the African market and take into account the characteristics of different regions of the continent, including their socio-economic indicators.

[this is not hyperbole. The criminals established this wasteland called Netzarem to bifurcate Gaza into a northern and southern part, and had pushed most south of it, and forbidden the civilians to return. It was supposed to facilitate the Exodus process. Now, they’re forced to eat crow and watch all the tremendous efforts of 1.5 years go up in smoke, and at great cost of manpower and machine. There are similar episodes in the Qur’an of such humiliation of crazed jews of former eras, who thought they were there to stay, forced to dismantle their homes and forts by their own hands! So in light of all this history, and current aspiration, today is a bleak day for the nazis]
⭕ Donald Trump will fail in his wishful thinking for Gaza, just as Benjamin Netanyahu and his immoral and unethical army have failed in 15 months of devastating war.

💠@Hamas/Tsahal:
⭕ Israeli Channel 12 broadcast a video showing an Israeli army officer ordering his soldiers to withdraw from the Netzarim corridor:

“We are preparing for the final exit from Netzarim.

We will come back here, don’t worry. Hamas is preparing, but so are we. We will come back and we will get all the hostages back. God willing, Trump’s plan will come into effect and we will come back and settle here and build all the settlements.”
⭕ According to a report, the Israeli prime minister approved sending a delegation to Qatar to discuss the details of the ceasefire and the hostage deal.

Netanyahu is expected to hold a meeting with the security cabinet upon his return to Israel today.

Senior Israeli officials said it was only a “symbolic trip” and that no real progress was expected in negotiations on the second phase of the deal.

The delegation’s main goal would be to show “goodwill” toward the Trump administration.
[the ceasefire should hold. To go back in to the hellscape of Gaza would witness the open disintegration of the cancerous entity. They’ll spin it somehow. But they’re done]
⭕ Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei met with Hamas interim leader Khalil al-Hayya and two other leaders in Tehran.

“You defeated the Zionist regime, which was actually a defeat for the United States,” Khamenei said. “You did not allow them to achieve any of their goals.”

LOL. The Anglophile media is salty. They call the Palestinians “Prisoners” and the zionazis “Hostages.” It is the diametric opposite to the truth. Help the sinking spin it every which way. Those who count know

why would they be in shock? Were more delivered since 18 Nov?? When/where did they overfly? Presstitutes appear outta stories and make things up…

💠@Yemen | Bab-el-Mandeb:
⭕ 🚨🇾🇪 Sana’a issues a warning message to the Saudi-led coalition.

Hussein al-Azi, the former deputy foreign minister in Sana’a’s government, has sent a new warning message to the Saudi-Emirati coalition.

Al-Azi stated that “Yemen is a land, a people, a capital, and a history, not just a wing in a hotel or a rented room in a club.” He advised the aggressor countries to seriously engage in arrangements for departure and to avoid continuing to “sleep in the mouth of the volcano.”

This comes amid American efforts to push the Saudi-Emirati coalition to escalate actions in Yemen once again.
⭕ The U.S. Navy – the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman and the guided missile destroyer USS Jason Dunham have arrived in Greece for maintenance operations after departing the Red Sea, following two months of combat operations in the region.

💠@Middle East Spectator:
⭕ 🇮🇷/🇺🇸 Iran’s Parliament Speaker, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, says Khamenei’s statement on negotiations with US is final:

‘Yesterday, the Supreme Leader made a clear and explicit statement dismissing negotiations, which defines the consensus.

My expectation and demand are that the President [Pezeshkian] and his government colleagues align their actions with these directives and move forward accordingly.’

💠@Middle East Spectator:
⭕ —❗️🇮🇷/🇺🇸 Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei:

‘Negotiations with the United States are useless, and will not benefit the country in any way’

In his speech today, the Supreme Leader once again emphasized that negotiating with the U.S. is not of any benefit to the Iranian nation:

‘For some time now, you have been hearing, in newspapers, in cyberspace, and in the words of various people, that there is discussion about negotiations with America.

They mention the word ‘negotiation’, saying, ‘Sir, negotiation is a good thing,’ as if someone is opposed to the goodness of negotiation. Today, the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is one of the busiest foreign ministries globally. That is its job, after all. It negotiates with countries around the world — Eastern, Western, all kinds — it travels back and forth, speaks, and signs agreements.

The exception that exists is America. Of course, I do not mention the Zionist regime because it is not a real country. The Zionist regime is a gang of criminals who came and occupied a land and are committing crimes. That is not a subject of discussion. The exception is America. Why is it an exception? What is the reason?

Negotiating with America has no effect on solving the country’s problems. We must understand this. They should not make it seem as if sitting at the table with that government will solve this or that problem. No, not at all.

No problem is solved through negotiations with America. The reason? Experience. In the 2010’s, we sat down and negotiated with America for about two years. A treaty was formed with them (JCPOA).

Our government sat down and negotiated. They went, came, sat, stood, negotiated, talked, laughed, shook hands, became friends — they did everything. A treaty was formed. In this treaty, the Iranian side was very generous. It gave many concessions to the other side. But the Americans did not implement the treaty.

The very person who is now in office [Trump] tore up this treaty. He said, ‘I will tear it up,’ and he did. Even before he came, those with whom this treaty was signed did not implement it. The treaty was meant to lift U.S. sanctions. The U.S. sanctions were not lifted at all.

We should learn from this experience. We gave concessions, we negotiated, we compromised, but we did not achieve any result. That is what happened. Even this treaty, with all the concessions we gave, was still undermined, violated, and torn apart by the other side.

Negotiating with such a government should not be done. Negotiation with them is neither wise, nor intelligent, nor honorable. We must solve our problems internally, not relying on outside factors.

As for the Americans, they comment on us, they talk, they express their opinions, they issue threats. If they threaten us, we will threaten them. If they carry out their threat, we will carry out our threat as well. If they violate the security of our nation, we will undoubtedly violate their security as well. This is our duty.’
⭕ NOTE: The Supreme Leader’s comments today are quite unequivocal, and honestly unprecedented. In Iran, Khamenei’s word is final.

Negotiations with the U.S. are now truly off the table, unless President Pezeshkian and his administration openly challenge the words of the Supreme Leader.
[as with Russia in 404 and East Europe, they can afford to wait out the dying Empire. To the bitter end. And shall live to look back on the last degenerate satanic empire, the feet and toes of mixed iron and clay in the dream icon]

⭕ After the crystal clear statements by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei today against negotiations with the United States, and following the frustrated reactions from Pezeshkian-aligned media, Iranian newspaper ‘Vatan Emrooz’ published a fitting headline: ‘Did you get the message now?’
⭕ The Russian Ministry of Defense has officially announced the capture of the city of Toretsk (Dzerzhynsk)

This was the last Ukrainian stronghold on the pre-2022 frontline.
[There is an eponymous Russian city, with a famous son in the past: Felix Dzerzhinsky, the Bolshevik who was the first head of the Soviet Cheka]
⭕ [Today, Saturday 8 Feb:] The three Israeli prisoners Eli Sharabi, Or Levy, and Ohad Ben Ami have been handed over to the Red Cross. |media|

[exchange of POWs/hostages as agreed in phase 1 of the Gaza ceasefire continue without hitch..]

💠@DDGeopolitics:
⭕ 🇮🇷 “Negotiating with the U.S. is futile”

On February 7, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei met with Air Force and Air Defense commanders in Qazvin, stating clearly about negotiations with the U.S.:

“We negotiated with the U.S. for two years, made many concessions, but they broke the agreement. It’s unreasonable, unwise, and dishonorable to negotiate with such a state.”

💠@Sputnik Africa:
⭕ 🇷🇼🇺🇸 “They are financing chaos”: The United States has strategic interests in supporting Rwanda, a pan-Africanist says

Washington “has been feeding the Rwandan army since 1994 so that it can serve its interests of destabilization and plundering of Congolese minerals,” Fortifi Lushima, National coordinator of the Pan-Africanist Emergencies movement in the DRC, told Sputnik Africa.

He noted that coltan and cobalt are the main minerals coveted by the US.

The United States “is actively involved in what is happening in Kivu”, he added. For him, this is a strategy of a thief who steals your goods and then offers you some relief.

Lushima said that he is happy that the US president can reduce the aid, because for Africans, this aid is like chains that the West uses to “better dominate Africa.”
⭕ 🇺🇸 USAID: a “ball of worms”?

What was the American humanitarian aid agency that Elon Musk announced the closure of really involved in?

The USAID trail can be found in several color revolutions, the Ukrainian conflict, various terrorist operations in Africa and the violence in eastern DRC, experts explained to Sputnik Africa.

⭕ 🇺🇸🇿🇦 Trump issues an executive order to cut US financial aid to South Africa, citing the nation’s land policy and its genocide case against Israel at the ICJ

The US criticized South Africa’s ICJ case, where it accuses Israel of genocide regarding its actions in Gaza, which Israel defends as self-defense following the October 7th Hamas attack. The White House presented this case as evidence of South Africa’s opposition to the US.

Trump also alleged, without providing evidence, that South Africa is confiscating land and mistreating “certain classes of people,” echoing Elon Musk’s claims of “racist ownership laws” against white South Africans. However, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa defended his government’s land policy as a means to address racial disparities, denying any land confiscations, and stating South Africa “will not be bullied.”

In 2023, South Africa received almost $440 million in US aid. In conjunction with the aid cut, the White House announced plans to prioritize white South African farmers and their families for resettlement as refugees through the US Refugee Admissions Program.

Earlier, in response to potential US sanctions and funding cuts, South Africa’s Mineral Resources Minister Gwede Mantashe declared the nation could suspend raw material exports to the United States.
[what a diseased empire. It appears to have been funding much of its vassals, even those in fabulously wealthy countries such as S.A.]

💠@Dmitry Medvedev:
⭕ “At the Edge of the Abyss” is a powerful documentary, honest and profoundly sad. It is powerful because it is authentic, free of censorship, sugar-coating or touch-ups. It is honest because the film is just war footage, without feigned emotions and corny clichés. But it is also sad, because many of the people it shows were killed in action. One moment he is alive—a man smiling at the camera. And the next moment he is dead. And all of that is a chronicle of war. A recording of life and death.

Nothing grandiose about this war, nothing dramatic or over-the-top.

This is a brand new type of war documentary. They simply couldn’t do it like this before—it wasn’t technologically possible. And it was a different value system. But now they’ve done it. And what we have as a result is a chronicle of true heroism.

A chronicle of brave men fighting for every inch of our land, saving innocent civilians, and sacrificing their lives.

A chronicle of our future Victory…

💠@Hamas/Tsahal:
⭕ A golden pager given to Trump by Netanyahu.
⭕ The United States has completed a $7.4 billion arms sale to Israel, including thousands of bombs, missiles and precision guidance kits.

The deal includes GBU-39/B, MK 82 bombs and Hellfire missiles.

This was during the period Britannia was openly melding with USA (Rhodes) and preparing to obliterate Germania back into squabbling little kingdoms (WW1). Several historians proved the plans for the annihilation of Germany were advanced at least a quarter century before 1914, being deemed intolerable to maintenance of Empire, both in trade and on the high seas (navy).

The naive insecure and over-his-head little Kaiser, who fawned over his Anglo-Saxon cousins, must have provided a ready ear to whispering royal Iagos, delighted to advance implosion through misrule by sidelining the Iron Chancellor. And Germany never again since 1890 became a viable threat to the Anglo-Saxons, sinking into deeper and deeper levels of remote subjugation and depravity

Who does intrigue better than any, in alliance with principalities and the international jew!

well said. One cannot outwit a Palestinian stalwart, nor Yemeni. They can be killed, but they’re not senseless desert bedouins. And they tend to outlast their enemies and be the last standing, just like the other stout fella, the Russkie of the Steppe

“A new generation of men will take your place..”
Orange mElon et al are lovingly sharpening the nEw GuiLLotines. Not quite the change of elites VVP desired, but Al Waleed can vouch for the Beasts that were birthed and slouched into Bethlehem

It wont be just Sarmat and Poseidon and Bulava delivering payloads. Even Dr. Strangelove saw these back in the day. As Auslander once said, “waste not, want not.”

Things are really moving. Orange is boiling the ground underneath the compradores, from Morocco to KSA. He’s in quite a haste, as he should be, with accelerating Collapse. But some surprising resistance – the Saudis! Will Egypt commit suicide and take the Offer? They’ve been bought by Anglo-Zionists since 1973… but there remains the little detail of convincing the Palestinians to walk, and staying the guns of the Yemenis, Hezbollah, Iraq, and likely portions of Egypt and Jordan which would have to enter the fray. It’s all belly up for the Losers
