In only 4 yrs in power (1983-87), Thomas Sankara built 350 schools, roads, railways without foreign aid Increased literacy rate by 60%. He also banned forced marriages and gave poor people land, Vaccinated 2.5 million kids, Planted 10 million trees, Appointed females to high governmental positions, encouraged them to work, recruited them into the military, and granted pregnancy leave. He also sold off the government fleet of Mercedes cars and made the Renault 5 (the cheapest car sold in Burkina Faso at that time) the official service car of the ministers. He reduced the salaries of all public servants, including his own, and forbade the use of government chauffeurs and 1st class airline tickets. As President, he lowered his salary to $450 a month and limited his possessions to a car, four bikes, three guitars, a fridge, and a broken freezer. He opposed foreign aid, saying that “he who feeds you, controls you.” He also drove out French imperialism & withdrew Burkina Faso from IMF Your thoughts on this

See my books since 1994. This is old, old, stuff. All the fake 'money' cannot be repaid because when a bank creates a 'loan' of 'money' that has never, does not, and will never exist called 'credit' the INTEREST on that 'money' is never created. Thus there is never anything like enough 'money' in circulation to repay all the debt and INTEREST on the debt. People losing their homes, businesses, land and assets is therefore encoded into the system. This is how the tangible wealth of the world has been sucked into the coffers of the very few.

I’m so sick of being sick with this debilitating cancer 😞 My haemoglobin levels have dropped below 80 again and my iron levels are too low too meaning I have to go into hospital for an iron infusion tomorrow and they want to give me a blood transfusion also - which I don’t want due to the risk of contamination. I had hoped I was getting well enough to start working again as so many people have asked me for my help with their legal matters but I just feel too wiped out to do so. Any support that any of you are able to give me will be massively appreciated as I’m relying on donations to get me my supplements etc atm whilst I’m too unwell to earn for myself. I’m sorry to have to ask as I’ve always been financially self sufficient and hate having to ask for help. But I’m reminded by kind people that if I don’t ask for help, people don’t know that I need it. So please do help if you can, either by donating or by offering treatments that you think my help with my advanced urothelial metastatic cancer. If you can offer any treatments, please do email me at [email protected]. 🙏🥰🙏 And when I recover sufficiently to give back, I will offer those of you who have kindly donated some free legal training/education 🙂 Please do share this if you feel able and willing to. Many thanks and blessings to you all.🙏🥰❤️ The link to the crowdfunder is in the comments below.

What makes so many Brits today so culturally fragile? What is it in modern English, history, and culture that makes some almost incapable of tolerating any kind of difference?

Africa is NOT poor because of colonization. From my conversation with @jordanbpeterson:
