Our business models and trading strategies could change without opening borders. Safety comes first, remember we are not living in a perfect paradise. We are living in the world where good and evil exist.

Even after this simple explanation you still don't get it?? 😲

United states of America = same official language= same president = same currency //// None United Countries of Africa = different official languages = different presidents = different currencies. People, let's stop comparing apples 🍎 🍏 to oranges 🍊 🍊. 🤷🏾‍♂️

So we can't trade because of different languages? None of what you counted here is a barrier to trade except the issue of boarders and regulations which is hindering the growth of African economy

@_Makooi00 They understand, their hate just clouds their judgement, it’s like telling hungry villagers to share their food with another village so combined they can create a bigger work force to make more food, all they heard was the word “share”

Exports and imports duties are the ones that stimulate the economy, we are not like the US, we are using currencies and currencies need to keep moving. This '' borders prevent collaboration'' is nonsense.

You think boarders only prohibits movement of people?. Boarders also apply in movements of goods and services which makes it difficult to trade with each other except for a few big businesses.

Being a whistleblower and a top cop does not make one immune to error, irresponsible behaviour and critique. The EFF has always had this kind of relationship with Lt General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi and all functionaries of the state. That is what Mkhwanazi is, a functionary of the state who has chosen to speak out. A functionary of the state, a state which has been run through the political outcomes of the ANC, is not infallible. Ronnie Kasrils, Mbazima Shilowa and many ANC stalwarts, including Mkhwanazi himself have stated the reality that intelligence and law enforcement has been compromised by the process and outcomes of ANC conferences. What would make Mkhwanazi immune to this political reality? What is wrong about pointing that out? No one in this country must have a blank cheque and South Africans must never be blackmailed into silence by people who think law enforcement is like supporting Kaizer Chiefs through thick and thin. This is law enforcement of a country, and a functionary of that is making sweeping unsubstantiated statements about politicians when he does not like what they have to say about him, selectively. Never must we descend public discourse and our democracy into a fan club. Exhibit A of how Lt General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi has been irresponsible when society sought to peacefully protest against the state of load shedding and Phala Phala Corruption in 2023z Seemingly this correct criticism warranted non-stop nodding behind Julius Malema three years ago.

I remember reporting almost two weeks ago about Zimbabweans camped outside the Zimbabwean Consulate in Cape Town. What I do not understand is this: these people have made it clear that they want to return home. We all know they did not plan for these circumstances. They have been stripped of their livelihoods and, in many cases, no longer have the financial means to get back to Zimbabwe. What stops the President from instructing the Minister of Finance and the relevant ministries to organise buses to transport our people from Cape Town back home? What stops the government from allowing them to cross the border with their personal goods and belongings without charging customs duty, given that this is clearly a humanitarian crisis? This is not a complicated policy issue. It is a basic act of leadership and compassion. What I struggle to understand about the Zimbabwean government is that you see men in expensive suits and women in elegant dresses, yet they fail to think in such simple, practical terms. At times like these, a government should be seen doing what governments are meant to do, protecting and assisting its citizens. South African media have reported on the plight of these Zimbabweans almost every day. The situation is neither hidden nor unknown. Yet there has been no meaningful humanitarian response from Harare. The government and its supporters will no doubt come up with all sorts of excuses. But this really is straightforward. Send buses. Bring your people home. Waive customs duties on their personal belongings. They have been forced into this situation by the climate of xenophobia and Afrophobia they have experienced in South Africa. A government’s responsibility is not to make excuses. It is to act.

Watch this latest video from russian state TV. It will be shown at russia’s tribunal. It will be studied in history classes by your children and grand children. “You understand that this list [of territories to be conquered] is incomplete. Everyone understands that this list is incomplete.” “It doesn’t matter what you call it …denazification or demilitarisation. Call it whatever you want. Everyone knows what it really means …the restoration of the russian empire.” “There are some nations whose existence is pointless.” This is just one clip of thousands of hours of footage in which the hatred and genocidal intentions of russia are on full display. It’s all documented for history. He’s right when he says everyone already knows what is happening. This is your regular reminder that future generations will not be in any doubt that you know right now that russia is a genocidal imperial aggressor. It’s very open about it. Polling in russia shows russians overwhelmingly believe the goal of their war is territorial conquest, not any of the excuses peddled by its supporters abroad. All of us around the world will have no plausible deniability that we didn’t know what was going on. You can see these clips. You can see the dictator literally standing over imperial era maps, comparing himself to other tsars, and discussing the erasure of a sovereign nation. You can read endless, carefully documented testimonies from people who have escaped the horrors of russian occupation and its very clearly genocidal nature. You know about all this. You scrolled past it. History will judge what you do now based on the fact that you know. It’s the reason no one has ever expressed any confusion about russia’s talk of imperial conquest or its use of neo-nazis to achieve it. Not a single person has ever said: “wait, this doesn’t make sense if it’s just a special operation to denazify and demilitarise Ukraine”. No one has ever said that because, as russian TV makes clear, no one is in doubt about what all this is really about. Russian soldiers who feign ignorance of being invaders when they are captured actually have no problem boasting of their atrocities in intercepted phone calls. Academics who insist the war is in some way excusable are suddenly very articulate about why imperialism and genocide is wrong when russia is not doing it. They know. They have just chosen to support genocidal imperialism in this case. Don’t let them gaslight you with excuses. There’s one irony here though. Russia’s war is based on denying the agency of Ukrainians and all nations in the way of russia’s expansionist aggression. However, the key to ending this is for us to respect the agency of those who deny ours. Don’t think of them as brainwashed or too stupid to know what’s going on. Respect their agency as supporters of imperial genocide. They are responsible for everything they are doing and must face the consequences of that. One day, the chorus of propaganda offering excuses will fall silent, as it did during the Nuremberg tribunal. The horrors of russia’s genocidal crimes will be more fully documented. As after Nuremberg, no one in future will give a shit about the excuses offered in our era to deny or delay the defeat of the genocidal aggressor and bring its leaders to justice. Make sure you can look your children and grandchildren in the eye and tell them what you did now to help achieve that. Send this clip to The Hague, along with all the others. #SpecialTribunalNow

GEN. FLYNN STATES THAT THE BIGGEST THREAT TO TRUMP & HIS ADMINISTRATION IS FROM WITHIN. WAS THE NEW EPSTEIN INFO PART OF THE PLAN? Even though nobody is buying the official Epstein story, maybe this was intentionally made to be questioned, to highlight specific individuals? We all know that there was numerous clients, evidence, and videos, which intelligence agencies and individuals most likely still possess. The entire drop from the mainstream media last night was coordinated and very sloppy with the prison video released having a 62 second cut from the film and really didn't prove or disprove anything. It almost seems like a deliberate mess in a way. But why is the question? Enough of time hasn't passed and enough of information has not been dropped to determine exactly what is really going on. Nothing is done by accident. Everything is carefully calculated. You have to understand that this was an intelligence operation. The FBI itself would not have the smoking gun evidence or tapes. They will NEVER admit that they were involved either. This entire operation could still be ongoing and was disclosed this way in order to progress. It just doesn't make any sense for Trump to let his supporters down like this. There is more to this story. Do not get caught up in the lies and keep an open mind. We all want justice and I believe we could and eventually will still get it. It just might not be how we originally expected it to be. Blackmail is more powerful than prosecution. Maybe the blackmail material is being held over their heads to blackmail the deep state players. No matter what the situation is, they will ALWAYS access and execute EVERYTHING from a military strategic intelligence advantage perspective. Literally EVERYTHING. There are no feelings involved. Just logical, well calculated, deliberate, executed moves. All you need to know is that there is a plan, and if there are people from within steering Trump in the wrong direction and undermining the administration, they will be exposed and dealt with accordingly. This could be what we are witnessing so stay positive. Think bigger and have faith. No one ever said anything is over. Pay attention to what Trump says and how he says it. Godspeed.

This OG video from advertising legend David Ogilvy is worth your listen. Some key points: • 2 minute ads outperform 30 seconds (can still be relevant) • Direct response outperforms general •Bigger agencies ≠ better So what is direct response, and how can you use it on your own? Let's talk about it.. Often times, ads go nowhere. This doesn't mean ads are ineffective. Rather, it means the ad did not elicit the correct response from its viewer. This can have a few causes: • The message was confusing • Viewer was not the target audience • Call to action was unclear Take for example most TV spots. You can't REALLY take an action directly from the TV screen. Maybe later if you recall the ad. But not right then. In the past, direct mail used to be the antidote to this problem. You send someone a sales letter. They like it, they mail back a check. Now, of course, its social ads. You see an IG ad for some fly kicks. Buy em on the spot. Clearly - direct response is a higher ROI form of advertising. So what are some ways to write it? First - always include a call to action. Point the audience directly to your desired response. Tell them: → Where to buy → How to buy → The price And let them make their decision. Second - build the story. This one's easy. Classic framework to use: AIDA Get their Attention Keep their Interest Create their Desire Influence their Action Third - keep it simple. Stop talking so much. The truth is: people don't want to hear it. General rule of thumb here, is to write your entire first draft out. Then cut by 1/3rd. Seem like a lot? Cut by another 1/3rd. You'll be shocked at the clarity improvement.

Uri Geller, an Israeli “psychic” known for bending spoons with his mind, and being able to remotely view events warns Trump that he could be assassinated if he visits Sharm El-Sheikh city in Egypt. 🚨🚨🚨 Trump just left for Israel to go make a speech at the Knesset, declaring an “end” to the war in Gaza, and is then on schedule to go to that city in Egypt for a stop. Interestingly, audio from Air Force One just came out where Trump stated: “I don’t think there’s anything that’s going to get me into heaven. I really don’t. I think I’m not, maybe, heaven-bound.” "I may be in heaven right now as we fly in Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven. But I've made life better for a lot of people." This exchange likely means three things… 1. Trump absolutely DOES NOT know the Gospel of Jesus Christ, where one is saved by grace through faith, or he has rejected it. 2. Trump’s “spiritual advisory” team is doing an absolutely piss poor job guiding him in the Christian faith, or Trump isn’t actually Christian at all. 3. Trump is fully aware that there could be an attempt on his life during this trip. Given the contentious circumstances surrounding this trip to the Middle East, it seems that a false flag could happen, as a means of continuing the war. Not saying that is what will happen, and I pray that it does not. In either sense, it’s clear that Trump is misguided, possibly in danger, or worse and very much needs prayer. We should definitely pray for him. 🙏🏻

Brian Keating (Prof. Brian Keating) and Rebecca Newberger Goldstein (Rebecca Newberger Goldstein) discuss "The Law of Physics Behind Depression." Rebecca Newberger Goldstein: The thing that suicidally depressed people feel is that they don’t matter; others do, they don’t. Nothing they can do will ever make them matter. It’s a terrible, terrible feeling. And what this means is they cannot abide their own presence. Brian Keating: What if there is a law of physics that explains why depression feels the way it does? Rebecca Newberger Goldstein: When I first learned about the second law of thermodynamics, it seemed—I couldn’t quite conceptualize it. We are subject to the second law of thermodynamics, which, you know, has a tragic dimension. In fact, when I was a graduate student, it occurred to me, oh my gosh, biological systems are really just organized to resist the second law of thermodynamics. In some sense, biology is a response to this supreme law that tells us that, in closed systems, energy never increases; entropy never decreases. Entropy never decreases, and if there’s any way for it to increase, it will. Entropy is the measure of the disorder of a system. The more disorder, the higher the entropy, and the less efficient the work you can get out at the end of the system. And in fact, Rudolf Clausius, the physicist, said that the universe itself will go to thermal equilibrium—what we call the heat death—and so there will be no more energy to be gotten out of it at the end of the system. Rudolf Clausius, the 19th-century physicist who formulated the concept of entropy, which means literally “transformation from within”—there’s poignancy in that. This transformation from within is going to the end of the system. And he said that the universe itself will go to thermal equilibrium, to what we call the heat death, and so there will be no more energy to be gotten out of it. Brian Keating: So let’s start with that story you tell first about Ludwig Boltzmann, who solved one of the great paradoxes of physics, the irreversibility paradox. Talk about that. And then why, in your mind, was he so traumatized, perhaps, or so full of dread of his equation that he took his own life? So talk about that. Rebecca Newberger Goldstein: So there was this great paradox, which is that most—probably most—of the processes that we observe are irreversible. If you film them—and tell me if I’m being too elementary, because I’m going to be very—you know, if you film them, like let’s say I crack open an egg and I stir it up and then I fry it, and somebody filmed this and then reversed the film, anybody who sees the reverse of that film is going to know it was reversed. That cannot happen in nature: that the egg is going to uncook itself, unscramble; the yolk is going to separate from the albumen and jump into the shell and seal up. Impossible, right? So almost everything that we see is irreversible. Brian Keating: Yes. I saw that line, Rebecca. It made me think, because you mentioned it in the context of his daughter, Elsa, finding her father’s dead body. And it wasn’t like he showed any sign. I mean, we can’t go into the minds of someone who dies by suicide, right? Yes. But at the same time, you’d think, well, this would be a more common thing. And so, is depression sort of a—you know, they used to think of miasmas and things in the air, you write about that in the book—is depression, at heart, an entropic collapsing process? Rebecca Newberger Goldstein: I have spoken to a lot of people who suffer from clinical depression. And I want to say, first of all, that the U.S. hotline for suicide prevention is The thing that suicidally depressed people feel is that they don’t matter. Others do. They don’t. Nothing they can do will ever make them matter. It’s a terrible, terrible feeling. And what this means is they cannot—they can’t abide their own presence. I really think it shows how strong this mattering instinct is in us. If you can’t somehow appease it, you can’t abide your own presence. And so, what the people I’ve spoken to—and one is a very, very good philosopher who has suffered from depression—have told me is that, phenomenologically, this is exactly what it feels like. It feels like psychic disintegration. So, in some sense, yes—happiness is a very ordered state. And I would go even further: everything worth living for is an ordered state. I think knowledge—knowledge, knowledge, knowledge—is better than ignorance. Clarity is better than confusion. Flourishing is better than suffering. Love is better than hatred. Beauty is better than ugliness. These are truisms; these are what we all accept. Look at the thing that’s better: it’s an ordered state. And its negation is a disordered state. So I think—I would argue—this is a very kind of Spinozist argument, trying to get out of the laws of nature some ethical enlightenment, some ethical guidance, because that’s what we want. We want ethical guidance. So we know we want to matter. We know we do all sorts of things to matter. Some people do very bad things in order to matter. Some of the people I’ve spoken to… they do. They want power over others. They want dominance. They want to make other people’s lives miserable. These are bad things, right? They cause an increase in entropy. This is how I judge people now: are you increasing entropy, or are you decreasing it? -- Full video in link below.

John Carmack: The code for AGI could conceivably be written by one individual After stepping down as CTO of Meta’s Oculus VR, legendary programmer John Carmack was trying to decide if he would work on nuclear fission or artificial general intelligence (AGI). He ultimately chose AGI. “I think [fission] is possible,” John says. “Somebody should be doing this, but it’s going to involve some politics, decent-sized teams, and a bunch of cross-functional stuff that I don’t love. While artificial general intelligence seems to me like the highest-leverage moment for a single individual potentially in the history of the world.” He explains: “With the things we know about the brain and what we can do with artificial intelligence . . . I’m not a madman for saying that it is likely that the code for artificial general intelligence is going to be tens of thousands of lines of code — not millions of lines of code.” He continues: “This is code that conceivably one individual could write, unlike writing a new web browser or operating system. And based on the progress that machine learning has made in the recent decade, it’s likely that the important things that we don’t know are relatively simple. There’s probably a handful of things — my bet is there’s less than six key insights — that need to be made. Each one of them can probably be written on the back of an envelope. We don’t know what they are, but when they’re put together in concert with GPUs at scale and the data that we all have access to, we can make something that behaves like a human being or living creature and that can then be educated in whatever ways we need to get to the point where we can have universal remote workers where anything that somebody does mediated by a computer, that doesn’t require physical interaction, an AGI will be able to do.” Carmack does not think this will be “unapproachably hard”: “That’s incredibly hubristic to say, but what I said a couple of years ago was that there’s a 50% chance that somewhere there will be signs of life of an AGI in 2030, and I’ve probably increased that slightly — maybe 55-60% now because I do think there’s a little sense of acceleration.” Source: Lex Fridman (Aug 2022)

10 Shocking Stories the Media Buried Today #10 - Megyn Kelly exposes where the “Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian asset” hoax came from. “This was started by Hillary Clinton. She started the Tulsi [“Russian asset” hoax] because Tulsi was a rising star within Democratic politics. She had all the boxes checked. She was a woman. She was a minority. She was the first this and the first that. And she was a combat vet, beautiful, well-spoken, like amazing [person],” Kelly explained. As you can imagine, this made Hillary Clinton very jealous. And once Tulsi started aligning more with Bernie Sanders’ politics than Hillary Clinton’s, the narrative shifted, and the hoax began. “And then she [Tulsi] started to be kind of open-minded to what Bernie Sanders was saying and maybe had some problems with the Hillary Clinton messaging and having Hillary shoved down our throat as the Democratic nominee back in 2016,” Kelly detailed. “She [Tulsi] spoke up about it and started to make enemies in the party because of that. And then [she] was outraged when she found out the DNC cheated on behalf of Hillary to try to make sure she got the nomination and screwed Bernie. And she was angry, and a rift was formed.” “Then Hillary Clinton called her a Russian asset,” Kelly continued. “just like Hillary Clinton’s campaign was the one that made up that Donald Trump was a Russian asset... Those were lies made up by the Clinton campaign. Hillary Clinton absolutely loved making up lies. And her campaign spread them about the Russians interfering against anybody who she didn’t like or wanted to undermine. Tulsi was just one of them.” Kelly shared how Gabbard’s opposition to the Ukraine war and her meeting with Syrian president Bashar al-Assad added to the “Russian asset” hoax. But to put that in perspective, Trump famously met a much more hostile leader, North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, in an effort to make peace. Longtime Democrat turned Trump voter Jillian Michaels responded to Kelly’s explanation of the Tulsi hoax, saying, “This makes perfect sense to me.” She added, “Diplomacy means you talk to your enemies,” arguing that it is even “more important than talking to your allies.” H/T: End Tribalism in Politics (See 9 More Revealing Stories Below)

Yes, SBS reporter Kang” "ure going to be the one going to prison." 💩 Has the nerve to tell someone else they're going to prison — just like a troll, loves to flip everything upside down and use his own talking points against others! Reporter: One last question — how will today's suspect examination proceed? 💩 KSU: We are fully prepared. In fact, this arrest warrant application itself is a completely absurd and groundless application. Kim Saeron passed away in a very tragic and heartbreaking manner. But the core content of the warrant application is only: 'World-class star Kim Soo-hyun suffered enormous financial losses.' Yet actress Kim Saeron lost her life. The bereaved family of actress Kim Saeron is heartbroken. Today, actress Kim Soo-hyun's mother, actress Kim Soo-hyun's aunt, and actress Kim Soo-hyun's father all wrote petition letters — how can this possibly make sense? (💩 slipped up and kept saying "Kim Soo-hyun" when he meant "Kim Saeron"!! Listened three times thinking I'd misheard 🥲) 💩 continues mocking rep Kang: "And now, as you can all see — just as SBS reporter Kang said — this content was what actress Kim Saeron's bereaved family said was 'this is Kim Soo-hyun,' and it was conveyed to us through attorney Bu Ji-seok, which is why we held the press conference. Did I personally go all the way to America myself?" "We can talk about that matter again later. You can all see it now — a person who has completely forgotten what it means to be a journalist." Kang : Did you carry out sufficient verification of the New Jersey tipster? 💩: Of course we did. Reporter: What method did you use to verify it? 💩: Oh, you're talking about the AI fake audio thing just now, right? That verification was done by the NFS (National Forensic Service). Reporter Kang: No, I'm asking whether you personally verified it. 💩: What exactly are you trying to do? Kang: Before releasing the video publicly, did you personally verify it? What method did you use? 💩: We, our, Gaseyon internally also has. Does everyone think this is what a normal reporter should look like? What's your name? Reporter: My name is Lim Myeong-chan. 💩: Oh, MBC. Now I see SBS & MBC. Kang: Please don't try to set a frame or redirect — just answer the question. The audio files — every version that was released to different people has completely different content, which is why I'm asking whether you actually seriously verified the tipster. 💩: We will use the fact that 'the NFS has already conducted verification' as our basis. Okay, it should be about time to go into the courtroom now. Let's end here for today. In any case, we will definitely explain everything through the results. This warrant application is a 100% false warrant application. Against Police Superintendent Gu Je-cheol who applied for and submitted this false warrant, and against Prosecutor Lee Gyeong-hwa, we will take immediate legal action tomorrow.

Perhaps when Former President Mbeki says it, it will make sense, because when the EFF says it we are distorted. Former President Thabo Mbeki reminds us of the Apartheid regimes’ National Security Management System, where the Apartheid regime had cells and operatives in black townships for purposes of managing black people and security threats to the regime, but also infiltrating and disrupting the struggle. This is exactly what we have been referring to in relation to the current wave of anti-immigration protests, that the machinery of apartheid is readily available and by simple observation, one can see it is being utilised. Mbeki cites them in relation to the July unrests in 2021, as having been activated to test the ability of what he refers to as the counter-revolution, to destabilise the country. He states that this was the cause, rather than any discomfort in relation to the arrest of Former President Jacob Zuma. That is debatable, but an important observation and concession is that genuine causes can be hijacked and used as cover for nefarious purposes. In this instance, the genuine discomfort of injustice against Former President Jacob Zuma may have been used for purposes of destabilising the country by nefarious actors, in the same way genuine discomfort with illegal immigration can and is being used, for nefarious reasons. We have been arguing consistently that these anti-immigration protests, and the violence associated with them, are not organic and that can be seen through the centrality of hostel dwellings in its activations and mobilisation. It remains a verifiable fact that hostels are at the centre of this, and the absence of hostels in Cape Town, PE, East London, Polokwane and many other places exhibit its weakness in these areas and the weakness of Apartheid era security infrastructure there today. If they don’t bus themselves to these places, the turnout is pathetic. Even in the 90’s before the democratic transition, the above mentioned areas did not have the same blood shed and violence. It was in the areas littered with hostels, where the Apartheid era maximised its disruption efforts of black on black violence. Same script, same areas, same actors! It further shows that the strength of these anti-immigration protests, as genuine as the motivations underlying it may be, lies in Apartheid era security and infiltration infrastructure, which underpinned violence in the 1990’s before the democratic transition. These cells, or this national security management system as per Mbeki, is at the centre of this turmoil, and has been activated to serve a destabilising and delegitimising effort against South Africa, and the hand of Israel is not far. Very soon, we will be asked what moral authority do we have to call out atrocities in the world, particularly those committed by Israel, while we commit atrocities ourselves against foreign nationals?
