Hello everyone,

I tried to get this video about the Rwanda Congo conflict out some weeks ago and it has had almost no traction on any of my social media platforms.

These nations are in conflict again but why? 📱 Your smartphone. Your laptop. Your electric car. They all run on war, theft, and deception. 🇨🇩

In this conversation, The Merc discusses the themes of segregation versus integration, particularly in the context of African and African American experiences. The discussion highlights historical examples, such as Tulsa, to illustrate the complexities of segregation and the ownership it allowed. The Merc also critiques the concept of integration, questioning what it truly means and whether it benefits marginalized communities.

The conversation transitions to current global politics, focusing on Zelensky's relationship with the West and the implications for Africa. The Merc delves into the complexities of modern political behavior, particularly in relation to Ukraine's aspirations for NATO integration and the historical context of colonialism's impact on African nations. The discussion highlights the role of social media in raising political awareness among Black communities globally, the theatrical nature of political events like Zelensky's visit to the White House, and the implications of foreign aid as a form of bribery.

The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding historical context in current affairs and the need for community empowerment to shape future narratives.

Hello everyone,

I will be going LIVE Friday 31st Jan at 19:00 EST on Substack and my other social platforms following the release of this address on my social platforms.

You are receiving this slightly early.

If you can make it to this live discussion, we will be talking about plans for the year ahead as well as the initiatives I spoke about in the address.

Set your calendar notifications.

This address for the year ahead was Inspired by the Alliance Of Sahel States and the efforts of Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso to unite Africa.

I have new ideas for the future.

Watch or listen and respond with your thoughts.

It is time for us to take our destiny into our own hands and maximise the opportunity we now have to change the course of a continent that has for too long been controlled and manipulated by others.

It starts with knowing our true history, continues with understading the context it gives to current affairs and ends with defining a tomorrow that we control.

🔥👉🏾 THE THREE HUNDRED

I have amazing projects planned and a new concept for how to fund the work I do. It is called The Three Hundred and I explain it in the address.

This is not for everyone but a select few of my audience. Providing freely available content is important and that is my goal. To create a system where free content that uplifts and educates us can be made with a financial funding model that is self sustaining and untethered from the establishment.

This will eventually replace my Patreon membership when it is stabilised.
