For those new to my work and what I'm all about, I'm a Canadian who looks outward. There is no such thing as "Western" civilization. As I wrote in my book, "The West will begin to understand Africa when it realizes it's not talking to a child--it's talking to its mother."

Big Media lies & claims Amhara are Ethiopia's historical villains. So I wrote a novel that makes them into heroes.
The West paints migrants as criminals. So I wrote a story that makes a refugee a freedom fighter.
Here is the story behind SABESHYA. 👇

Think I'm going to start a social media campaign arguing that Trump shouldn't be allowed to fire handguns during his Cabinet meetings and see where his reflexive spite takes us.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

This is what I'm talking about -- this nonsense. He's ALREADY TAKEN OVER! Will you people please wake up? When a leader has masked thugs drag people away and deported, has political enemies dragged into court, threatens other nations, ignores court rulings, you already have fascism! WAKE UP.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

When the state decides people’s politics make them a criminal and its top figures declare war on a wide segment of the population, it’s not surprising—indeed, it’s tragic—that some decide they MUST be criminals.
