We in Danger, Girl...

 Okay, hear me out, this is going to be a long post with a lot of threads to connect. The world is ending and we're all just sitting on our hands. Here we go.

Let's start at the beginning and that's the Cold War where Russia essentially 'threw in the towel' right? Capitalism won...allegedly. So fast forward to 2020. Trump is the president of the United States. He's shown signs of being very pro-Russia and his fans of course are following behind like sheep.

Because it didn't matter that he was bending over for their supposed worst enemy. Just as long as he continued to discriminate against the coloreds. Then Byline Times today, posted this video:


Please watch to the end. It actually brings together a lot of the threads I was going to have to connect for you. Trump wins in 2016, right? Soon after or before this, Boris Johnson becomes PM of England and midwifes Brexit into existence. What is the result of these two things?
1. The rise of right-wing ideologies worldwide leading to social schisms that will be hard to heal. From that Marie le Pen chick in France to the Italians to the Germans - we saw the return of actual Nazis, increased hostility to colored folk, all of that. What did that lead to?
Well, look at England now. It's practically a failed state. America is a third-world country. France is on fire. They're killing homeless and sick people in CANADA. The first world is a mess. 
But that wasn't the only consequence.
2. Attack on truth. Thanks to Trump and Cambridge Analytica nem, what is the truth became subjective. It would have been one thing if this was confined to one country but thanks to Twitter, it's easy for ideas to spread and many people (who should have known better) were subscribing to the notion that COVID isn't real and the vaccine is a trick. Now I could totally understand why black Americans would be wary. After all, the American medical field has used them time and again as guinea pigs. There was that time they injected black soldiers with syphilis to see how it progressed untreated. Then black women have been sterilized without their knowledge in many instances. But you, my African brother (and it was mostly men) what is your reason for believing that a vaccine is some sort of 5G, the gov'mint is watching you nonsense? There is no excuse for you. 
Why are men so gullible?
I digress.
Speaking of Africa, let's take a look at what neocolonialism is doing. While the US and the UK, France as well, are doing their best to maintain their footprint, the colonized are fighting back. Unfortunately, this isn't all self-motivated. There are puppets, with strings, calling the shots. Just look at what's happening in Niger this week. They've thrown the French out but they're busy raising Russian flags. The French are fighting back of course, joined by none other than the US. When you hear Nigeria is cutting off power to Niger, who is pulling those strings? Americans? I doubt it's the UK. My point is, change is happening right before our very eyes.
Russia, China, the Middle East (not Israel) are out here getting hands on African real estate. Did you see the CNN documentary which showed how much Russia has taken ownership of the Democratic Republic of Congo, possibly the most mineral-rich country in the world? UAE just offered to buy the port of Kenya for six billion dollars. You know that greedy man is going to take that deal. He knows nothing but avarice.
China has been giving loans to African governments for a few years now and what's the collateral? Land. 
Incidentally, just by the way, Africa seems to be the only continent not overtly affected by climate change. Yes, we have famine that is very manmade, but we're not experiencing extreme weather events like everyone else is. I'm even afraid to say so lest I jinx it.
Which brings us neatly to BRICS. This coalition of nations is trying to phase out the dollar as the world currency and replace it with gold. It is made up of Russia, China and the three biggest economies of South America, Asia, and Africa. 
Y'all seeing this?
I am not necessarily opposed to the removal of the dollar as the world currency. I simply fear the consequences. The devil you know etc. 
So we have the same players coming up over and over again, shaping world views, controlling world politics, and doing it in a very quiet, underhanded way. 
Where does it end?
It seems as if these people are trying to end geopolitical borders and have just blocks of places ruled by a particular supervillain named Putin, whatever the Chinese fellow is called, or Middle Eastern royal families.
I keep telling my son that we're already living in a dystopian future, we just haven't realized it yet. He tells me I'm a tin hat. But just look around you. Climate change is here. It's not pending anymore. Saudi Arabia is building 'The Line' a futuristic city straight out of Ready Player One, Elon Musk is trying to make Twitter a hub for misinformation (and who are his backers? A bunch of Saudis, Russians, and Chinese), see this article which connects the dots more beautifully than I ever could.
What's the endgame?
I think the endgame is what the endgame has always been with supervillains - to rule the world. Now the thing is, if they wanted to destroy themselves, that would be one thing. But I fear that just as what happened in the movie 2012; the 'survivors' will end up here, in Africa, pushing us aside and claiming that they bought the land from us so now it's theirs. They'll use words like conservancy to justify it, if downright theft does not suffice.
And then we'll end up living in the sewers with the rats which will grow fat from all the dead bodies they're gonna eat.
Yes! It's gruesome. Deal with it.
My son and I were actually talking about this and we brainstormed an entire video game based on this premise. Now all we need to do is create it. We're going to call it The Rat King.
I'd like to end on a positive, uplifting note but I see nothing but doom and gloom. So all I can do is wait to tell you...
I told you so.


Postscript: Just as a by the way, there's this tabloid journalist named Dan Wooton whose name I would never have known if he wasn't such a big Harry and Meghan hater. Anyway, last week a byline article came out chronicling his years of blackmail and extortion towards fellow journalists and other big-name individuals. This man was so protected that not one British newspaper printed the allegations. Isn't that interesting?
Kompromat.
