An investigative report has emerged by a Russian opposition journalist Rostislav Murzagulov. It alleges that Putin may have provided Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán with a covert "bribe" in the form of an automotive component plant and a mansion near Moscow. Russian opposition journalist Rostislav Murzagulov said on his YouTube channel that he had obtained a set of documents detailing the mechanism of this alleged hidden "bribe" from Putin to the Hungarian prime minister. According to him, the assets in question include a world-class automotive component plant and a luxury estate in the Moscow region. The journalist also stated that he is ready to hand over the original documents to relevant authorities and journalists in European countries. What this is about, as Murzagulov states in his investigation: In 2014, Orbán ceremonially opened a Takata automotive component plant in Miskolc, Hungary. The company promised to invest $1.5 billion into the Hungarian budget, and the government allocated tens of millions of euros from the state budget to support the project. However, Takata was already in crisis at the time. Its airbags were defective - they could explode, sending metal fragments into car interiors, and killed several dozen people. More than 100 million vehicles worldwide equipped with Takata products were subject to the largest recall in automotive history. By 2018, Takata had gone bankrupt. All of its assets - 20 factories worldwide - were acquired by a group of private investors, some of whom were linked to Hungary. At the time, Takata’s assets were valued at $1.6 billion, which was considered very low given that the company had generated $6-7 billion annually prior to its collapse. The new owners then faced a major challenge: what to do with products from a plant with a damaged reputation. The solution, according to the documents obtained by the journalist, was found in Russia. Major Russian automakers reportedly signed long-term contracts with the new Takata owners. According to Murzagulov, only a direct order from the Kremlin could have compelled the entire Russian automotive industry to purchase such defective airbags. In effect, Russia’s auto industry allegedly financed the acquisition of the plant for a structure linked to Orbán. The journalist claims that the ultimate beneficiary of the scheme is Hungary’s richest man, Lőrinc Mészáros (estimated net worth $3.5 billion), who, "coincidentally," is a childhood friend of Orbán. Companies linked to Mészáros were involved both in the construction of the Takata plant in Hungary in 2014 and later in the acquisition of its global assets. According to the investigation, funds obtained through this Russian scheme were allegedly used to purchase a mansion for Orbán in the elite Greenfield settlement near Moscow. The estate reportedly spans 7,000 square meters and is valued at $89 million. Another notable detail: representatives of Russia’s Federal Protective Service (FSO) recently removed the owner’s name of the property from official databases. This is seen by the journalist as indirect evidence that the property belongs not to an ordinary businessman, but to an individual whose identity is classified.

A man from Romania heard Zohran Mamdani’s inauguration speech in New York City and has a warning for America He says Zohran Mamdani used the EXACT SAME words they heard before socialism crushed their country “We will replace the fragility of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism. Famous words spoken by every communist in history. Hi, my name is Bogdan and this is exactly how communism came to power in my country, Romania, via collectivism. First, they confiscated private land. Then they used terror to enforce collectivism. The regular Romanian citizens were arrested, beat up, humiliated publicly, left to rot in prison, and some even executed. The next step for collectivism was destroying the independent farmer class. These people were a threat to the regime because they were able to stay self-sufficient and did not rely on the state. Independence was, and still is, the biggest threat to communism. They made it in such a way that owning more than others was a crime. Once all that happened, the communists started confiscating the food from farmers, leaving families to die. They also confiscated the livestock raised by people. This resulted in famine, malnutrition, and the collapse of productivity. Romania literally went from being the number one exporter of grain in Europe to chronic shortages of food. But that wasn't enough. The communists then banned free market. No free sale of crops, no private trades, no bargaining, classic socialist failure. But collectivism wasn't just economic. It was cultural as well. In Romania, they attacked the church and religious people. They replaced family authority with party authority, all with one goal in mind: replace faith and family with the state. 15 years later, the communists declared victory. 90% of all farmland in Romania was collectivized. Bottom line, Romanian collectivism was forced, violent, economically disastrous, morally corrupt, and designed to control, not help. Only for today in the United States of America to be in New York City. I swear to God, some Americans are the dumbest morons on the planet.”

This is my first and last time commenting on the Oliver Mtukudzi saga. I knew Tuku for decades, from his days at Radio and Tape Promotions in the early 1990s when I was in journalism school. He was a normal human being like all of us, a musical genius, but like all human beings, he had his flaws, nobody doesn’t. We all agree that he gave so much to this country’s well-being, and for that, he deserves our respect. All of us have made mistakes in our private lives that we wish we hadn’t made, nobody is perfect. Every documentary film I ever made had a Tuku soundtrack. He did that for me at no cost. The only documentary film I made without Oliver’s soundtrack was A Violent Response; the soundtrack was laid by his son, Sam. Again, Sam refused to take money from me. They were good people, but like all of us, Tuku had his flaws. I think enough has been said about this great musician’s private and family life. Let us respect him and now move on from his private life. I respectfully hope that his family can resolve their issues privately too and not make a spectacle of it, as it is tarnishing his memory. We all have family issues, but we resolve them away from the public gaze. There is so much that Tuku told me about people in politics, the music industry, and business, but it would be disrespectful to share that. I wish others would feel the same way and let the legend rest in peace. Nothing Tuku did can be undone, we can only learn from such lessons. Let the old man rest, please! His children and wife have a right to talk about their experiences with their father and husband, respectively, but let us help them heal by not fuelling the rift. They are hurting. What they need are voices that help them become a happy family, not voices of polarity. We can be compassionate without inciting them, there is nothing that has been said that he didn’t address in his music. Let us not find joy in sharing this family’s pain and misery. Let us pray for them to heal their painful rift and bridge the gap. I have decided to speak not only because I knew Tuku personally but because I also feel that part of my success as a journalist was because of him. He was in my first-ever documentary film, Pain in my Heart, talking about how HIV and AIDS affected him when his band members were dying, including his brother Robert. That film won the African Journalist of the Year Award in 2007. I took the trophy to Pakare Paye for him to see it, he was super happy for me. Ndapota hangu, chisiyayi Samanyanga vazorore murugare. Below are two performances I recorded of Tuku at his base at Pakare Paye a few months before he died, and of his son Sam Mtukudzi in 2007. Let us enjoy their music and not dwell on gossip that erodes their great work.

In Remembrance of Dorothy Malone. Born | January 29, 1924 in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Died | January 19, 2018 aged 93 in Dallas, Texas, USA. Video | Humphrey Bogart as Philip Marlowe and Dorothy Malone as Acme Bookstore proprietress in the classic film noir, The Big Sleep (1946), directed by Howard Hawks. The blonde, sultry, dreamy-eyed beauty of Dorothy Malone, who was born Mary Maloney in Chicago, took some time before it made an impact with American film-going audiences. But once she did, she played it for all it was worth in her one chance Academy Award-winning “bad girl” performance, a role quite unlike the classy and strait-laced lady herself. Raised in Dallas, she was one of five children born to an accountant father and housewife mother. Two older sisters died of polio. Attending Ursuline Convent and Highland Park High School, she was quite popular (as “School Favourite”). She was also a noted female athlete while there and won several awards for swimming and horseback riding. Following graduation, she studied at Southern Methodist University with the intent of becoming a nurse, but a role in the college play “Starbound” happened to catch the eye of an RKO talent scout and she was offered a Hollywood contract. The lovely brunette started off in typical RKO starlet mode with acting/singing/dancing/diction lessons and bit parts (billed as Dorothy Maloney) in such films as the Frank Sinatra musicals Higher and Higher (1943) and Step Lively (1944), a couple of the mystery “Falcon” entries and a showier role in Show Business (1944) with Eddie Cantor and George Murphy. RKO lost interest, however, after the two-year contract was up. Warner Bros., however, stepped up to the plate and offered the actress a contract. Now billed as Dorothy Malone, her third film offering with the studio finally injected some adrenaline into her floundering young career, when she earned the small role of a seductive book clerk in the Bogart/Bacall classic The Big Sleep (1946). Critics and audiences took notice of her captivating little part. As a reward, the studio nudged her up the billing ladder with more visible roles in Two Guys from Texas (1948), Romance on the High Seas (1948), South of St. Louis (1949) and Colorado Territory (1949), with the westerns showing off her equestrian prowess if not her acting ability. Despite this positive movement, Warner Bros. did not extend Dorothy's contract in 1949 and she returned willingly back to her tight-knit family in her native Dallas. Taking a steadier job with an insurance agency, she happened to attend a work-related convention in New York City and grew fascinated with the big city. Deciding to recommit to her acting career, she moved to the Big Apple and studied at the American Theatre Wing. In between her studies, she managed to find work on TV, which spurred freelancing “B” movie offers in the routine form of Saddle Legion (1951), The Bushwhackers (1951), the Martin & Lewis romp Scared Stiff (1953), Law and Order (1953), Jack Slade (1953), Pushover (1954) and Private Hell 36 (1954). Things picked up noticeably once Dorothy went platinum blonde, which seemed to emphasise her overt and sensual beauty. First off was as a sister to Doris Day in Young at Heart (1954), a musical remake of Four Daughters (1938), back at Warner Bros. She garnered even better attention when she appeared in the war picture Battle Cry (1955), in which she shared torrid love scenes with film's newest heartthrob Tab Hunter, and continued the momentum with the reliable westerns Five Guns West (1955) and Tall Man Riding (1955) but not with melodramatic romantic dud Sincerely Yours (1955) which tried to sell to the audiences a heterosexual Liberace. By this time she had signed with Universal. Following a few more westerns for good measure (At Gunpoint (1955), Tension at Table Rock (1956) and Pillars of the Sky (1956), Dorothy won the scenery-chewing role of wild, nymphomaniac Marylee Hadley in the Douglas Sirk soap opera Written on the Wind (1956) co-starring Rock Hudson, Lauren Bacall and Robert Stack. Stack and Malone had the showier roles and completely out-shined the two leads, both earning supporting Oscar nominations in the process. Stack lost in his category but Dorothy nabbed the trophy for her splendidly trampy, boozed-up Southern belle which was highlighted by her writhing mambo dance. Unfortunately, Dorothy's long spell of mediocre filming did not end with all the hoopla she received for Written on the Wind (1956). The Tarnished Angels (1957), which reunited Malone with Hudson and Stack faltered, and Quantez (1957) with Fred MacMurray was just another run-of-the-mill western. Two major film challenges might have changed things with Man of a Thousand Faces (1957) as the unsympathetic first wife of James Cagney's Lon Chaney Sr, and as alcoholic actress Diana Barrymore in the biographic melodrama Too Much, Too Soon (1958). Cagney, however, overshadowed everyone in the first and the second was fatally watered down by the Production Code committee. To compensate, Dorothy, at age 35 in 1959, finally was married ― to playboy actor Jacques Bergerac (Ginger Rogers's ex-husband). A daughter, Mimi, was born the following year. Fewer film offers, which included Warlock (1959) and The Last Voyage (1960), came her way as Dorothy focused more on family life. While a second daughter, Diane, was born in 1962, the turbulent marriage wouldn't last and their divorce became final in December 1964. A bitter custody battle ensued with Dorothy eventually winning primary custody. It took the small screen to rejuvenate Dorothy's career in the mid-1960s when she earned top billing of TV's first prime time soap opera Peyton Place (1964). Dorothy, starring in Lana Turner's 1957 film role of Constance MacKenzie, found herself in a smash hit. The run wasn't entirely happy however. Doctors discovered blood clots on her lungs which required major surgery and she almost died. Lola Albright filled in until she was able to return. Just as bad, the significance of her role dwindled with time and 20th Century-Fox finally wrote her and co-star Tim O'Connor off the show in 1968. Dorothy filed a breach of contract lawsuit which ended in an out-of-court settlement. Her life on- and off-camera did not improve. Dorothy's second marriage to stockbroker Robert Tomarkin in 1969 would last only three months, and a third to businessman Charles Huston Bell managed about three years. Now-matronly roles in the films Winter Kills (1979), Vortex (1982), The Being (1981) and Descanse en piezas (1987), were few and far between a few TV-movies ― which included some “Peyton Place” revivals, did nothing to advance her career. Malone returned and settled for good back in her native Dallas, returning to Hollywood only on occasion. Dorothy's last film was a cameo in the popular thriller Basic Instinct (1992) as a friend to Sharon Stone. She will be remembered as one of those Hollywood stars who proved she had the talent but somehow got the short end of the stick when it came to quality films offered. She retired to Texas and died in Dallas shortly before her 94th birthday on January 19, 2018.

Gavin Newsom is not a politician; he is a pathological con artist who has turned the governance of California into a personal criminal enterprise so brazen it makes the mob look like amateurs. He is a public menace... The greasy hair, the fake smile that never reaches his dead, soulless eyes, and that smug, voice dripping with condescension. He is the physical embodiment of everything rotting America from within. While he lectures the rest of the nation on morality from his ivory tower, he is actually running a racketeering ring that would make Al Capone blush. He is a parasite of the highest order, feeding on the misery of a state he has systematically destroyed, turning California into a third-world wasteland of tent cities, open-air drug markets, and violent crime, all while he sips million-dollar wine in his Napa Valley estate. He is a fraud, a liar, and a thief, and his entire career is a testament to the fact that the American Left is nothing more than a syndicate of criminals protecting their own. The depth of his corruption is staggering, even by the low standards of modern politics. His former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, a woman he placed in the second-highest position in the state, was recently exposed as a felon who siphoned hundreds of thousands of dollars from campaign funds for personal luxuries. She bought Chanel bags, took private jets, and installed luxury home improvements while claiming it was campaign business. And Newsom wants us to believe he knew nothing? That he was just too busy "governing" to notice his right-hand man running a million-dollar fraud ring out of his office? It is a lie. He either knew and participated, making him a co-conspirator, or he was so incompetent he allowed it to happen, making him unfit for any position of trust. There is no middle ground. He is either a criminal or a fool, and given his track record, he is likely both. He is a man who has built a career on the backs of the vulnerable, using their suffering as a backdrop for his own enrichment. But the rot goes deeper than just his staff; it is embedded in his very DNA and extends directly to his household. Newsom has weaponized his position as Governor to create a pay-to-play scheme that is nothing short of treasonous. Through a loophole known as "behested payments," he has funneled millions of dollars from special interests directly to non-profits run by his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom. We are talking about millions from casino operators, utility monopolies, and healthcare giants who are simultaneously lobbying his office for favors. It is a classic extortion racket: give money to the First Family or expect nothing but hostility from the state. They call it charity; it is bribery, plain and simple. They call it philanthropy; it is a laundering scheme designed to hide the fact that he is selling the state of California to the highest bidder. He is a pimp for special interests, selling out the people he swore to protect for a handful of silver. His entire administration is a hive of scum and villainy, a testament to his belief that the law does not apply to him. He appointed Tom Girardi, a known embeeler and predator of the vulnerable, to his judicial selection committee. He placed Melahat Rafiei, a woman convicted of attempting to bribe public officials, on a state board. These are not mistakes; they are features of his regime. He rewards loyalty with public office and punishes dissent with the full force of the state. He is a man who has no regard for the rule of law, no respect for the people of California, and no shame in his relentless pursuit of power and wealth. He is a monster who has destroyed a once-great state, turning it into a nightmare of crime, poverty, and despair, all while he lives like a king. He is the enemy of the people, a traitor to his oath, and a danger to our society. The evidence is overwhelming, the pattern is clear, and the time for accountability is now. Federal investigators are closing in, subpoenas have been served, and the walls of his criminal empire are crumbling. He is scrambling, hiring high-priced lawyers and issuing denials, but the truth is out. He is a fraud, and his entire career is a lie. He is a man who has stolen from the poor to give to the rich, who has sacrificed the safety of children for political gain, and who has betrayed the trust of every single person who ever voted for him. He is a disgrace to humanity, a blight on our nation, and a symbol of everything that is wrong with the modern world. He must be stopped, he must be prosecuted, and he must be put behind bars where he belongs. Let us be clear: Gavin Newsom is not a public servant. He is a public menace. He is a man who has used his position to enrich himself and his family at the expense of the people he was elected to serve. He is a criminal who has evaded justice for too long, but his time is up. The people of California deserve better. The people of America deserve better. We must demand his immediate resignation, his full prosecution, and his permanent removal from public life. He is a cancer on our society, and we must cut him out before he spreads his disease any further. He is a liar, a thief, and a traitor, and he must be held accountable for his crimes. The world is watching. The era of Gavin Newsom is over, and good riddance to him. He is a reminder of what happens when we allow evil to go unchecked, and we must never let it happen again.

The Anatomy of a Crime: Theft at Ministry of Works & Transport? A lot has been said about some fraudulent practices at the MoWT centered around Commissioner Transport and Road Safety, Winstone Katushabe. Some counter measures have been put in place by him to discredit the activists behind this campaign and get it out of the press. But it’s a bit late for that. For the next few days, I’ll try and break down how such theft of public funds happened. Today, I’ll concentrate on four entities: Face Technologies, Ciber Consulting, ITSL and TisCon. All are united by one South African man: Johannes Vorster. Ciber Consulting: Their website says they’re located in Pretoria. Their LinkedIn says they’re located in Midrand. Midrand like Pretoria is in Gauteng Province, somewhere between Johannesburg and Pretoria. In fact, it’s closer to Johannesburg (27km) than it is Pretoria (30km). When were they formed? LinkedIn says 2007. Their website is from 2018 but there’s an article from 2003 that says they were formalizing a 27 million Rand relationship with “Face Technologies”. Guess they went back in time and did this. Their LinkedIn has one article, from a month ago, probably when the public inquest into MOWT started gaining steam. When you follow the article, it’s from Johan Vorster who, depending on what you read, is either still the CEO or left the company in October 2015 to go work as Operations Executive at Infopicture (Pty) Ltd. The confusing thing is that he seems to have forgotten to change his LinkedIn bio line where he is still listed as the CEO of Ciber Consulting. The website ( also lists him as such and puts his private phone number as the only number to contact them. He has had an entanglement with a company called Tasima, for which he was MD from 2001-2009 and even the aforesaid Face Technologies which, ironically, another entity he is involved with here was supervising as consultants. When you dig into the Ciber Consulting website it says they do work for “Ministry of Works and Transport”. Only problem is: South Africa, where they’re based, doesn’t have any such ministry. Theirs is a Ministry of Public Works and Infrastructure. It appears that this website was tailor-made for a Ugandan audience just in case someone comes snooping. Now, you might wanna grab your coffee for this next section. You might recall that back when Face Technologies was handing over Driving License operations, they were given a contract to: implement Phase I of Digital Archiving of all Driving Licenses at UCDP. The claim was there were 15 million of these. FIFTEEN MILLION!! So, a UGX 3.5 Billion contract was given to them. The contract supervisor was Integrated Transport Solutions Ltd. This was a no-bid contract. Mr Winstone Katushabe was in charge of oversight of Face Technologies on behalf of the MOWT. This company, ITSL, then formed a Joint Venture with Ciber Consulting and this venture is what’s recorded at Uganda Registration Services Bureau as TisCon. It then received a 22.6 Billion contract with just over 4 BN of VAT tacked on for good measure. The contract was for the “Functional Design and Supervision of a Motor Vehicle Registration System. This contract was signed by the PS of MOWT Wasswa Bageya on 7th April 2022, exactly 9 months after the TisCon JV was registered on 7th July 2021. The signatories of the JV were the aforementioned Johan Vorster for Ciber Consulting and Collins Rugaba. The latter being a relative of Mr Winstone Katushabe and part time legal fixer. Same fellas got an 8.9 Billion contract for “provision of professional services relating to the recruitment and management of contract staff to operationalize Motor Vehicle Inspection Centres and establish additional Motor Vehicle Registration Centres.” This was in July 2025. Now, when you get into ownership of ITSL, you might be surprised to find same Johannes Vorster as majority shareholder, Collins Rugaba, Zulu Media and a one Annette Kobusingye. Tabz shared this….

No, I don't think so. I think Conor McGregor's tailoring is best understood in the context of how labor has been deskilled for almost 200 years. Let me explain. Before the mid-19th century, most men who were not manual laborers wore bespoke clothes. In other words, their clothes were made specifically for them, typically by women working in the home or by bespoke tailors. This is how the King of Spain gets his clothes. When he was 11 years old, his father brought him to see a bespoke tailor in Madrid named Jaime Gallo. Gallo made the King's clothes using traditional methods: he measured the King's body and then used those measurements to draft a paper pattern from scratch. This pattern, which serves as the garment's architectural blueprint, is used to mark and cut the cloth. The pieces are then roughly basted together into a wearable fitting garment. When the King tries on this garment, the tailor takes notes on what needs to be changed, deconstructs the garment, and makes the necessary adjustment. This process repeats three times — basted, forward, and final fitting — with each step bringing the garment to its final form. This is partly why the King's clothes fit so beautifully: they were made by a skilled tailor and refined through multiple fittings. More important, however, is Gallo's technical skill. To be sure, not all tailors are so skilled, which is why I don't recommend going to just any random tailor. Gallo continued making clothes for the King until his own death in 2015. In the first slide, you can see three photos: two of the King wearing Gallo's tailoring at different periods of his life, and a meeting desk at Sastreria Jaime Gallo (Gallo's workshop). Most people today don't wear bespoke clothes. Instead, they wear ready-made clothes produced by manufacturers and sold by brands and retailers. The shrunken silhouette we see today was principally shaped in the early 2000s by three designers: Raf Simons, Hedi Slimane, and Thom Browne. These men were not rebelling against classic tailoring, which has not been culturally relevant since the late 1960s. Instead, they were rebelling against the oversized tailoring of the '80s and '90s, which was also created by designers (such as Armani). In the 2012 documentary "Antifashion," Simons explains that he felt oversized silhouettes were "too American" and "macho" (think Arnold Schwarzenegger). He wanted something that felt younger, more European, and made for thin, effete bodies. Slimane echoed this sentiment in a separate interview, saying that he felt bullied as a teen for not being very muscular, so he intentionally wanted to design things that felt more androgynous. He rejected the idea that every man needed to feel big and macho. Whatever you want to say about the shrunken suit trend, there were no technical issues with the original versions. Along the top row of the second slide, you can see two suits by Slimane and Browne. Notice that there's no puckering or pulling. The collar hugs the neck. I also think the clothes look pretty good on the models. This is largely because there are still people with technical knowledge working at this stage. The problems arise once those designs slide further away from such people. On the bottom row of the second slide, we can see Lionel Messi wearing a Thom Browne suit. IMO, it doesn't fit him as well as the model above him because he's a more muscular build. The original slim suits work best on thin figures with shoulders broader than the hips. Once you put these clothes on different figures, they can look egg-shaped. This mismatch can happen for all sorts of reasons. The people involved in selling or styling clothes today often lack technical skills: editors, writers, stylists, salespeople, marketers, and such. The designer was already one step removed from the tailor (a technical person), but at least they can work with a pattern maker (another technical person). Many people today are another step removed from that technical layer. Conor McGregor's clothes are from his own line, August McGregor, which he created with David August. Although David August works in custom clothing, he's not a tailor. He measures clients and sends those measurements to an overseas factory, where garments are produced by people who never meet the wearer. Conor's role is simply to market the product. He's a built-in influencer for the brand. There was a recent Wall Street Journal article about the emergence of "muscle suits," which is to say, very bulky guys wearing slim-fit tailoring. IMO, this can only emerge from the history we talked about. As more people lack technical skills and more layers or barriers exist between them and people with technical skills, the garment can look more distorted or strange. On the final slide, we see a video from Brimble and Clark, an custom tailoring company mentioned in the WSJ article. Like those from August McGregor, these are made-to-measure clothes produced in distant factories, though they use more stretch blends. Someone once told me that the owner of Brimble and Clark holds a ceremony when he delivers a suit to you. When you come into the shop to pick up your suit, a painting is mechanically lowered to reveal a collection of tiny knives. The company owner takes one of the tiny knives, sews it behind your lapel, and then ceremoniously puts the jacket on you. Then it's time for your own private photoshoot, where you get to pose around Chesterfield field couches while wearing your jacket concealing a tiny knife. The purpose, of course, is simply to make the wearer feel good. The business person understands something important: how a customer feels is more important than whether the product is good. This is essentially the system we have today. The company owner, salesperson, fitter, customer, writer, and influencer often possess little technical knowledge. The remaining expertise is concentrated among pattern makers and garment workers at the very end of the supply chain. I think about this sometimes when I read about AI, as I think it represents yet another step towards the deskilling of labor. Perhaps one day, someone who knows how to draw with pen and paper will look at an AI-generated image and recognize certain distortions that many have come to accept. But AI is outside my area of expertise, so I'll leave that discussion to others.

Dear Nigerians, Leave everything & watch the 1993 presidential debate between Abiola & Alhaji Bashir Tofa. MKO was fiercely against the IMF & the World Bank. He was against Naira Devaluation & IMF loans. He kicked against wasteful spending. He stood for FREE education, not student loan. In fact, Chief MKO won the 1993 presidential election after defeating Tofa in that debate. Nigerians saw his exceptionalism that day & voted overwhelmingly for Kashimawo. It was a Muslim-Muslim ticket that offered REAL hope. Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (MKO) Abiola was firmly against the International Monetary Fund (IMF) & the World Bank. He viewed these Bretton Woods institutions & their structural adjustment programs (SAP) as exploitative & designed to ensnare developing nations into debt traps & neo-colonial reliance. In fact, he criticized the Structural Adjustment Program (SAP), a program of the IMF harshly. MKO was a Capitalist with Socialist ideals. Key aspects of his economic vision were: Farewell to Poverty: His manifesto proposed an economic framework that rejected the World Bank & IMF loans & structural adjustments. Alternative Funding: Instead of devaluing the currency or taking conditional loans, Chief MKO planned to fund a nationwide free health & free education by cutting government waste & securing more profits from oil companies. National Sovereignty: MKO was against neo-colonialism. As an international businessman, he argued that Nigeria had no business letting young IMF officials dictate its internal policies. Today, JUNE 12 People are implementing SAP 2.0. They are running away from debates. They have gone against everything MKO stood for. His HOPE '93 "Farewell to Poverty" was largely a ‘people-centric’ manifesto, anchored on democracy, social justice, agric revolution, poverty eradication, & anti-imperialism. He promised to write off 10 years of taxes for private businesses that went into farming. He was ready to mechanize the whole value chain. 1993 was the fairest & freest election in Nigeria. The irony is, it was the military that conducted that election, before it was ultimately annulled. Today, June 12 People cannot conduct a free election. The beneficiaries of JUNE 12 declare Oro on Election Day, & snatch ballot boxes. They mutilate result sheets, compromise the IREV, & tell you to go to court. They plant their surrogates in opposition parties & call it a Master Strategy. June 12 People are no democrats, they are worse than Abacha. They work against everything that MKO stood for. Under JUNE 12 People, Nigerians have no human rights. They use the police & the DSS to kidnap the critics of their government. They borrowed Nigeria to stupor. They plan to more, & they will squander it. And when the IMF or World Bank says “jump!” They ask, “how high?” Recall that Muhammadu Buhari participated in the 2011 presidential debate, where he debated Nuhu Ribadu & Ibrahim Shekarau. However, he did not attend the 2007, 2015, & 2019 debates. JUNE 12 People have never participated in any presidential debates. They will run away from the 2027 debates. They hate accountability. MKO always quoted statistics like the man they attack in Nigeria today. The candidate they call “Obi China.” MKO articulated his thoughts. He was no bulaba. He stood for the poor. JUNE 12 People are there for themselves & the rich only. They are asking you to renew their mandate—so they could do the things they promised you before. They will remain a fraud in my book.

This may be the most important video you watch today! In this video, I expose what I believe to be a Ukrainian influence operation targeting American journalists and media figures. Based on the evidence I uncovered, I believe this may be an intelligence-linked operation involving elements of the Ukrainian military, possibly the SBU, as well as American zionist activist Ryan Mauro. This should be investigated by the FBI if such an organization still exists in this country. Every single one of these accounts are foreign, running an Op in the US against American journalists. And somehow 'freedom lover’ Elon Musk allows this. Hey Elon why is your platform infested with Ukrainian/foreign operatives coordinating to harass American journalists? You want their names? Here you go and that's not all of them: Restitutor, JamesAFulk, Vatnik Soup, Eyepatch Man,Vatnik Soup JamesAFulk Many people have noticed a surge of aggressive online attacks against independent American journalists but they had no idea who and what was behind it. I decided to investigate the accounts involved and found that many appear to be based in Ukraine and are presenting themselves as Americans while masking their true locations through VPNs. I also uncovered connections to a now-deleted website that appears to have functioned as a coordinated propaganda platform during Biden. My findings raise serious questions about the origin and purpose of these online influence campaigns. I strongly advise people to exercise caution and do not follow this accounts Block them! BLOCK THEM, you give them power when you do. Based on the evidence I reviewed, I believe some of these operations are directly connected to Ukraine, I mean this is a fact not a belief, and it is possible that the SBU is involved. Watch the video it’s long but it is necessary, it will show you how these accounts are all tied to each other. Review the evidence for yourself and draw your own conclusions. Here is what’s happening. Restitutor, JamesAFulk, Vatnik Soup, Eyepatch Man, - All Ukrainian influence agents attacking American journalist Vatnik Soup and JamesAFulk They operated a fake website where they trashed Trump and everyone who supported him. Now they are doing the same but not against Trump only against independent journalists and American politicians who oppose foreign funding to Ukraine. All of those accounts constantly interact with and amplify Sarah Ashton-Cirillo!!! A Biden administration's Transgender Ukrainian spokesperson. They pretended it was a website set up by American civilians, but in reality it was created by Ukrainians trying to influence American media by discrediting American voices opposing funding for Ukraine. Back then, Trump was one of those voices, but once he became president, they had to delete the website. The only way to access that website today is through the Wayback Machine and similar websites. Ryan Mauro and these individuals are primary disinformation actors. I personally believe Ryan is committing some type of espionage here. It's my strong belief that he knows exactly what he's doing (Do not follow them). I will include screenshots below in which he identifies these accounts as people who assist him with research and collaborate with him. Another account that frequently amplifies and reposts content from these accounts is Insurrection Barbie. This looks like a coordinated influence network pushing a pro-Ukraine/anti-Russia hawkish narrative, selectively amplifying (or fabricating) malign influence stories to smear independent voices and not just them, their goal is to sustain endless foreign aid/war support. They try to influence big accounts on X. Shared focus, identical sentences, admitting working with each other, connecting everyone to Dugin. They don't equally scrutinize Ukrainian corruption. They never criticize Israel and they always attack those who do. Joint "ops" as manufactured smears becomes a classic pre-bunking/poisoning the well tactic. Mutual tagging, resource-sharing and division of labor is how they operate (Mauro and a few others are the frontmen, the rest of the Ukrainian operatives do deep dives and obtain information sometimes illegally on American citizens) and they give it to bigger accounts to be pushed. Guilt by association is what they use linking people to Dugin, sanctioned Russians, or events via thin ties (panels, photos, past guests) while ignoring context or stronger counter-evidence. It is a pure propaganda group. Elon Musk you want to wake up now?! Public 'transparency' is totally performative, hiding funding ties, grants from aligned NGOs or informal coordination with bigger players. Mauro's donation solicitations post-op fit a grift model. FBI needs to investigate the funding of these people! Ryan Mauro who is paying you?! The amplification loop is simple, a self-reinforcing circle on X creates illusory consensus, bunch of trolls and skilled operatives working together. Trending via mutual boosts, plus mainstream pickup (Beck, loomer etc.) How did they get caught? They used information they should not have had and obtained an ID of mine they should not have had from another country from a private database. I believe the only person who can put an end to these paid influence operations is JD Vance and possibly Tulsi Gabbard 🌺 DNI Tulsi Gabbard FBIDirectorKash Mind investigating why Ukrainian/foreign accounts are providing information on American citizens they should not have to Ryan Mauro and others? Why did they have a website called the American Civilian counterintelligence website when it was so clearly operated by Ukrainian forces? Now pay attention who attacks this post it's very easy see they never hide their fake accounts:)) I apologies I had to record the video as it is, not fancy but it is necessary to show you what the research looks like.
