Glad to see you addressing this subject, Amarynth. 

If I may be a little long winded, I would like to look at it from a different perspective, that may help us understand the issues. When different cultures collide, the “better” culture may not survive. In my own study of the Toltec civilization, they had a far superior culture to the barbarians that came from the west, but as fate would have it, they had a weapon using gunpowder, which was actually an invention the Europeans stole from China. And now just a few hours north of where I am, you can see Indigenous folk walking around drunk, or lying in the ditch, stoned.

We are now in a time where “Western” civilization dominates, but the concepts that are taken for granted in the West are now quite frankly foreign to many parts of the world. Such as fair play, basic courtesies, care for the handicapped, and so on. These concepts were there, but got trampled by corruption and greed with the introduction of the current dominant culture.

That clip by Rob Hersov was well presented. As he said, corruption creates poverty. And I may add, creativity destroys poverty. If allowed to blossom.

I was actually told by a minister in Tanzania, when visiting many years ago, just after they got independence, that he wished he could bring the English back to run the government, and the Indians to run the businesses!

Online Interview Etiquette
Just a personal opinion, for what it’s worth.
Don’t smoke cigarettes, cigars, whatever.
Don’t snack.
But okay to take an occasional sip of water.
When interviewing someone, not interested at all in your personal opinions, expressed in a long winded way.
Don’t show off your muscaluture, or your tattoos. There are other venues for that.
Don’t bring your animals online (dogs, cats). There are also other venues for that.
Go with the flow of the conversation, instead of always looking down on your list. Don’t interrupt your guest when, for instance, he is recalling a fascinating episode from his past about how the CIA were training the Taliban. If you must, try to do it with courtesy, such as – “excuse me for interrupting, Alastair” or “we will get back to that in a moment, Pepe” or words to that effect.

“destruction” is what they do, increasing aesthetic and physical entropy.

Well said, Mr. P! Gaza is next, if they have their way.

Thanks for the updates on West Africa, emersonreturn.
So refreshing to see the good news coming from this part of Africa, compared to the depressing news from South Africa.
I had to look at the map, to see the signicance of the port investment in Ghana – they now have a direct link to the ocean.
And thanks to Russian muscle, he will avoid the fate of Lumumba, Sankara and Gaddafi.

Just had time to watch about a quarter of the interview with Ernst, will catch up later. It’s been quite distressing to listen to this. I have also watched the clips you posted earlier, Amarynth, where a whole stadium full of people are exhorted to exterminate the “whites”.
Having seen so-called whites kill whites by the tens of millions, including about 27 million Russians in WW2, a few million Jews, and Ukrainians are now being openly encouraged to kill Russians, and you can’t even tell them apart, I hesitate to ascribe this to some sort of black genetic defect.
Emigration seems the only immediate solution, to places such as Russia or Canada, where their farming skills would be appreciated.

imagine we all think this, AFTER 1 – 1,500,000 UkroNazis were murdered at Russian hands, on behalf of the former Shining City on the Hill. This is the same as threatening Gaza with hell. What days
“murdered” seems a little harsh.
murder: the unlawful killing of another human without justification or valid excuse.

Well said, AHH! I must admit, talking about intricate details of  nutrition, in a world where Palestinian children are literally starving to death in Gaza, does not look good.
With even the mainstream media now reporting this, I am afraid, in the logic of karma, the whole world is now in debt.
