Self-expression

Far from me is the idea of affecting the faith of others, but the duty of truth calls for all to express themselves, and in doing so, not to say empty words in order to disseminate their knowledge and beliefs but to encourage enhancement of reflection and, therefore, the awakening of consciousness.

It is always necessary to remove any ambiguity in order to have a clear and limpid view of the facts. We do not argue with someone who sees a red object and then decides this object is green; at traffic lights, this character will cause accidents due to his color blindness. You might not agree on something, but intellectual honesty is all about acknowledging the facts because they don't lie, which is why history is there to serve as a benchmark. As we say so well, "the facts are stubborn," and when we bring the facts to thought, it follows the revelation of what is true. For centuries, wonderful human beings have been engaged in the search for the truth to enlighten mankind on how to become better. Their works and writings are available to those who yearn for knowledge and the search for truth; therefore, nowadays, with all the search engines and the Internet, "ignorance is a choice."

"You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." This is how one maintains oneself in slavery, refusing to be enlightened by the truth. If you are an enemy of the truth, in other words, you love lies, and we all know who the "Father of Lies" is. Every being aspires to its essence, that is to say, light; the truth illuminates and enlightens, and that is why we love it; we are free men who have the ability to think for ourselves, hence to express ourselves with confidence and love. Self-expression is a duty of truth to oneself. A tree cannot refuse to bear fruit because some people do not like the tree. You don't really like mangoes, so should the mango tree stop producing? What about those who like mangoes?

If you refuse to speak because of the contrary opinions of others, then you refuse to propagate your truth; you live in denial of yourself. The means of expression by which a human being can hear you, are to speak, to read your thoughts is to write, and to communicate, is through feelings. This is why in developed societies, freedom of expression is essential, which has enabled great civilizations to reach their peaks.

Les Olympiques des OGM.

Image
Nous sommes arrivés au moment fatidique où l’humanité, toutes nations confondues se réunit pour célébrer les jeux olympiques de Paris 2024, dont la cérémonie d'ouverture a été fort belle et à l'image de ce qu'ils ont décidé de ce que sera notre futur monde, une société OGM (Organisme Génétiquement Modifié). L'homme moderne a décidé de manifester sa divinité par sa capacité de création du fait de son intellect supérieur aux autres espèces vivantes, n'avons nous pas été créés a son image et a sa ressemblance comme le dit les écritures?  L'être humain a donc bâti le monde dans lequel il espère s'épanouir et perpetuer son espèce. Après s'être soumis à la nature, il l'a conquise et a ensuite établi ses propres règles d'existence devenant ainsi le dieu qu'il a toujours été depuis son apparition sur terre. Nous avons donc décidé de tout modifier selon notre guise pour repondre a nos aspirations qui ne sont toujours pas en harmonie avec les lois na

Conversation with my PanAfricanist friend.

"We are living in the law of the jungle" (Bush Sr.), where the strong overpower the weak; therefore, relationships between nations are a balance of power; world powers lead, weak nations subdue. Norway discovered oil in the early 1960s; as a result, Norway is a well-developed country; Nigeria, Angola, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, etc. are still underdeveloped nations. We must say that those nations are from Africa, that's why, well, it's true! Westerners are nice to each other, and help each other, but we had two world wars when they massacred each other. Then, they made peace, and decided to establish institutions to keep that peace amongst themselves, but, not with the rest of the world, especially Africa. (Africa, a continent with enormous natural resources; everyone knows; but we poor; who cares? No one) And one day, Russia attacked Ukraine. Poutine was not happy. Oh, white people at it again, killing each other! Some black folks condemned Poutine, "how do you d

Happy BRICS Summit 2023!

We are finally there, at the BRICS Summit 2023, they are all there except Putin (Prigozhine effect or pressure on South Africa). Anyway, the summit is held and already China has taken out the wallet, what generosity! Unlike the Berlin conference in 1884, the BRICS summit is being held in Africa, in South Africa, Mandela's land, in this atmosphere of a new world order against a backdrop of war in Ukraine and "the return of Covid19". In the same vein, ECOWAS has decided to attack one of its members, another African country. (Well, black people don't like each other, that's nothing new). General DeGaulle said: "A country has no friends but interests". So what is Africa's interest with BRICS? Surely our leaders have thought about it, free wheat, getting more donations, more debt, increasing their imports and exporting their raw materials with their BRICS partners. Maybe this time they will surprise us, maybe they will say to China and Russia, we want to
