  • In 2015 I was in Niger doing NGO work and the founder of the NGO said to me that the most important thing about America is the peaceful transition of power. That next year that transition of power came under direct attack and then again in 2020.

    From my travels and the people I talk to, we have been under attack since at least 2008. From domestic terrorists working with foreign governments. Factions in spy agencies actively engaged in domestic espionage to help elites take more power. Cultist religious mega churches spreading misinformation and conspiracies in rural areas for decades priming for a “revolution”.

    Billionaires that you hear about daily are also in on it.

    You better fight for your democracy by showing up to every town meeting you can America because you will absolutely lose everything. Support unions and delete that extreme individualism in your programming that capitalist America wants to instill in each person so you never organize against them.

    This is the time to get out in front of 2024 and fight for your rights and a reasonable society not this psycho bullshit we are stuck in right now.












  • I was in Niger in 2015 and the mine outside of Agadez hired everyone to come and work which left schools lacking teachers because pay was better at the mine. Then they closed it down and teachers went to find other jobs.

    I have been to dysfunctional countries before but this was pretty bad. The government was shaky then and basically the military takes bribes for anything. Wells that NGOs paid to have dug are basically cement slabs on grade and no well.

    The complicated history, culture, colonialism and people really leave shallow options for improvement. Coups are a part of Niger unfortunately. It sucks because the culture and the people are really amazing.

    I wonder what Sidi Amar and the Tuareg are up to. Probably kicking some ass as usual.
