  1. It is truly mysterious.....or is it? No its Not intellectual deficiency..... More likely Lack of Political Will and Ignorance... Most Africans see Europeans as Saviors.....not the cause of their suffering. Maybe the Politicians wouldn't. But the sick and malnourished would want their discomfort alleviated by whomever in most cases. Up until recently whenever Africans create a lab independent of European support or involvement.....it is destroyed - by so called terrorist You can if you want.... but you would be asking the wrong question.....
  2. How to use AI to Benefit themselves. What Law? Says that people do not have the intelligence or intellectual capability to Learn? I just disproved your assertions with living examples The misuse or abuse of Tech.....not tech True....except for that which is strike through Not True.... We Agree Pyrrhic victory They were fighting a war....in which they lost their lives - but his country won the war John Henry lost his life.....and the tech is still being used. I am currently enjoying an all natural organic bud.....theirs is nothing strange about my feelings. People often use the anonymity that the internet provides to pretend to be what they are not....so as to mislead the gullible. You using your understanding of it to support your ideas.... John Henry and the job he was doing has been replaced by people using the tech he tried to best... The tech in question is still here....The job that John gave his life for is obsolete If he had Truly won he would have saved all those hammer driven steel bit jobs.....and people would still be hammer steel bits into rock today. Only a child like mind would think he won.....he died as a result. Most adults would know that is not a victory How come you have not realized he did not win?? Could it be you still thinking like a third grader? The true question is why would they teach children such a story at that time in history? If you wish to continue this line of reasoning open a new thread.....and lets share Start a thread.....see you there
  3. @ProfD I know that you know that what you are upholding is no longer tenable given the recent events in the Ufology world
  4. I think we all do to varying degrees As much as I would love the above to be true....it is not. When I last check approximately 20 yrs ago.... Roughly 70 million Africans died as a result of enslavement policy(Maafa) over about 400yrs....transatlantic trade internecine wars/raids forced marching seasoning/breaking in and living during enslavement in the West etc Roughly 60 million white military personnel died over 4yrs in just two wars....with a further 30 million civilians Yea....but he was once rich - nevertheless. It goes to show that the conquerors and the rich can become the vanquish and poor.....as such is the commonality of the human condition. In Zimbabwe Namibia Mozambique and South Africa Blacks are now Ruling over South African whites..... His is to God and Country... or do you think like a third grader?? I know what he is doing.....I have spoken to many people from their and from surrounding countries as well.. Those are also sources I use I wanted to know what you think...... IF I was to guess you think it is ......pu88y? I am Aware and so is Traore.....but you are not - though you think you are aware You have no idea....just typing what sounds smart Money and Sex are the two biggest and most successful traps.....called Bait and Honey pot There you are thinking that is the way to accomplish Unity..... Those are the surest ways to be controlled Just as I thought you were thinking Exactly what Traore just did Depends on if they are doing "The Right Thing" or not If they are not doing "The Right Thing" or worst doing "The Wrong Thing".....then they are already a liability - Why would you support that?
  5. I think it not that you do not have evidence facts or proof......it just that you won't accept them as such
  6. True.... According to the Ancients.....You are coming back to face those same problems Only difference the vast majority of us have no memory of them or being here before....Total start over You ask where fear should be "placed" I said in a new perspective.... I never said fear a "new perspective" I do not accept or believe that Why not..... Double-amputee runner Brian Reynolds at his first Boston Marathon The Fastest Man On Two Hands - Guinness World Records Tech did not disrupt Nature....it is their misuse or abuse of technology led to their maladaptation - Nature remains unperturbed. If Nature selects for the Strong as you implied......then mostly the strong had offsprings - those offspring created tech Yes that maybe so... True....Nature selects for Fitness Being the fittest is not necessarily the Strongest Exactly..... He died as a result....and you think he won! He in popular parlance "lost his life" That explains it.....I always got the feeling you were a white person pretending to be a black person - due to how you reason I should tell you it is highly inappropriate to bring a third grade level of reasoning in this space If You still thinking like a third grader - it is time to grow up He John Henry did not Lose.....What he gained in the grown up world is called a Pyrrhic Victory - look it up The Machines are still in use today....and the job he was defending is probable obsolete and no longer in demand - but I am sure an electric/mechanical drill operator is in demand If you wish to continue this line of reasoning open a new thread.....and lets share Thank you for partially seeing were the onus lies... Thank you.... I can see you struggling to wrap your mind around it.....you getting there.
  7. I also said "regardless" of race.....so the statements includes all colors. Sure.. WWI & WWII makes that statement inaccurate. Yes....That is the most recent Example I can find My Statement is that the US Constitution supports the Enslavement of Humans from its inception. The Founders of The USSR and The Russian Federation forbade The Enslavement of Human from their Inception Of course you would......just like Clarence Thomas is Doing so that maybe true of people who think like you I See Ibrahim Traore is doing the opposite.... You obviously did take the time to listen to or observe what Traore has done and is doing True... What do you think that is? That which is strike through sounds like empty rhetoric.... The rest that is not strike through is what Traore is saying and I support that..... So Why aren't you rallying around Traore? That's not necessarily the best way..... The easy most productive way in my opinion is to.....Give support to those who are doing the Right Thing I do not see a significant amount of difference between the Needs of Black members women a children... When it comes to wants....then yes that maybe more Depends on what is used for and done for.... I can agree with that yes in most respects not necessarily true Somewhat accurate
  8. True I concur.... This is not the stand taken by officialdom But you draw the line at Extraterrestrial Non Human Intelligence and Cryto-Zoology like (Bigfoot/Sasquatch Mermaids Dragons) Tru dat
  9. True Partially True True....And the reason why the above is partially true Exactly The best way to help them.....is by you mastering tech yourself - so that those who want learn should they find you....you are in a position to help. Yes it does.....You the individual is often the main arbiter of What or How the Universe responds. Only if death is the End..... What if death is a Beginning. In a new Perspective Then it is incumpend upon them to learn and use it to their benefit Rarely does it disrupts Nature or the Natural oder of things What It doe's is disrupts Man opinion about Nature and His understanding of the Nature of things If that be the case.... Then it is the offspring of those Strong men that in all likelihood has developed these disruptive technology.....this then becomes the natural progression of Nature What did you learn from that story?? You think he Won!!!!?? I was taught that both mind and body are possession.....and that all possession are subject to loss and privations So it's not the Tech....it is the Entities using the tech as a Conduit... So we agree The above gave the impression you that it was new or just now being develop for the first time... If you meant being improved on then....I understand Fiction always come before Facts Feasibility comes from the realization of what is needed or lacking to make some idea practical. Then it is feasible.... Yes Warping Space.....Warp drives is not so much about speed but more about Gravitational Displacement - Compression and Expansion of Space while the Vehicle is in a Stable Gravitational Bubble
  10. I think that is true......of most Human Beings - regardless of so called Race and or Ethnicity Again part of the Human Condition....You may call it scrimmaging - I see it as internal power struggle. The internal power struggle was and is real Yes...but they still humans Study your History.....especially of the Moors Study History......of the Barbary Coast That is true....and it is so Nearly all Slave holding Nations have it enshrined and encoded in Laws Statutes and Ordinances both abroad and at home...Some even in their Constitution. I do see where Slave holding was permitted supported and encoded in Laws and in the US Constitution. As to Polygamy and Gay marriage.....various states and provinces in the US had them either Decriminalized or Legalized at different periods of time. Totally false and inaccurate.....you just typing pure unadulterated falsities. They found the time to forbid them in Law Statues Ordinances and Constitutionally That's because he studied the subject before he speaks on a topic That's because he is Eloquent ant Articulate Of course you would do your duty..... General Micheal Langley faced the same delimma.....he did his duty. The problem is how we See and Define Unity Most of us confuse Unity with Conformity
  11. Dr Fauci represents officialdom.... What is your opinion on the aspersion Dr Fauci is being accused of doing or being responsible for? If you believe that AIDS/HIV is man made then that is you.......not accepting officialdom? Why don't you trust officialdom? So do I To each his own
  12. This whole conversation reminds of the Luddites revolt in the early 1800's.... Theirs as you all fears are misplaced... Most if not all tech makes life easier and better.... The tech itself hardly or ever makes life worst.... The problem is usually how its used and its waste or environmental impact is managed True... Yes....so get onboard early for the sake of yourself and progeny I hope to be counted among them... A lot more jobs will also be created by AI So we agree.. Whose fault is that? What's wrong with that? Who won that contest in the end? True Possession of What? that depends on the individual....not the tech. Tech is Neutral.....What is used and How it is Used Managed and Disposed is good bad or indifferent... The dangers of Nuclear reactors can and could have been significantly reduced by not using Uranium.....instead by using Thorium. Uranium was used because of wartime constraints and since the tech infrastructure was already there....why remake the wheel Yes Ionic drives are in use today and is no longer theoretical What is moving from the realm of science fiction to theoretically feasible is Warp Drives....prototypes are being developed as we type - though not to scale as of yet. The problem is not the tech.... The problem is the people behind the tech being used....
  13. Cool So this time you do not accept...... Officialdom? Ok So you also believe AIDS is a Man made Biological Warfare? In this too you differ True enough Ok so you know this yet....you trust officialdom - explain?
  14. What did you gain or learn from it? Why you think that is? As Is His Right What does that tell you?
  15. Dr. Anthony Fauci Testifies on the COVID-19 PandemicDr Fauci or Dr Sickle or Dr Death....The Grim Reaper
  16. This whole conversation reminds me of the Luddites revolt in the early 1800's.... Technology is usually feared when first it presents itself Theirs and y'all or your fears are misplaced... Did industrialization help or hinder us? AI is about to empower the individual way beyond what y'all thinking....
  17. Thank you Neither am I but I do know China was heavily dependent on Russia....immediately after WWII True Their wanting to or domination of black people is a symptom.....not a causative They have been trying to dominate each other long before they tried to or did dominate Black peoples They are not different.....people are basically the same - be they white black or yellow Why is this so.....because we are all human This is true I Cannot speak for the individual members of the Russian Government.... But nowhere in their political ideology does it support any form of Racism....if anything the opposite is and has always been true. I do not disagree.... Being in positions of power looks good but often its used to pacify the oppress and further oppression .....take for instance Clarence Thomas Malcolm X : Token Integration. “Tokenism benefits only a few. It never benefits the masses, and the masses are the ones who have the problem, not the few. That one who benefits from tokenism, he doesn’t want to be around us anyway—that’s why he picks up on the token” ― Malcolm X https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/tokenism True And when you are called upon to do your duty to God and Country to crush kill and destroy a fledgling freedom struggle in a poor African country.....what then @Pioneer1 ? True Yet so far ....they seem to be dealing fairly and sharing tech. true true true not sure
  18. True.... They have even wanted to.....but they did not or was unable to The fact is....they were not colonizing African countries.... Germany was directly involve in Colonization and the Enslaved of several African peoples and countries .....Tanzania Rwanda Burundi Togoland and Cameroon Namibia is where they first develop practice of Concentration camps and Genocide Through out the history of Western Oppression and Colonization of African Peoples and Cultures..... Russia stands out as the singular European Nation that is and was the most and the side of the oppress and down trodden.... There would be no China without Russia sharing Industrial and Military Technology... Not the same.... check your history.... China was almost totally dependent on Russia in the 1940's-60's....for military and industrial tech The West refuse to work or trade with china until the late 60's onwards The cost of working with the West is to remain a Pariah and a Beggar state.... Everybody is Racist toward.....Blacks - Even Blacks Do you understand the concept of Geopolitics.....if you did then you would understand why that is. There is no doubt America.....is the most Powerful Country in the world - by far All countries have to be very careful once they decide to oppose America in any way..... Not that I know of..... Every Nation have Rules Requirements and Regulations around sharing technology..... The two primary ones are: The Stability and Endurance of the Governing Administration. The Ability to Retrieve or Destroy the Technology should the Administration fall Again this is History.....Meiji Era of Japan Japan was helped to Industrialize militarily by both the British and the Americans under the understanding that would weaken China by entering into open warfare with China. So that West could gain access to China's vast opium market. South Korea is the same it is being used to slow China's growth....in exchange for industrialization and Technology They do.......It does seem that way
  19. He is True Russia was not among them...was they? True They were never directly involved in the Slave trade Colonialism Neo-colonialism Imperialism the Enslaved of Black Africans nor did they openly support racism or practice politically as Policy This cannot be said of Russia since the Communist Revolution. True So did China.....look where they are now If I were an African nation, I'd do my best to align myself with the United States OR Israel. At what cost?? The West has an unwritten policy not to share technology with African Countries.......they see African Countries as a Resource of Raw Material As such any form of Development is seen as a threat to this View......Hence the West tend to Impoverish and Underdeveloped African countries back to Stone Age Burkina Faso had military agreements with the West....to quell and defeat extremist forms of Islamic Terrorism - until they uncovered incontrovertibly evidence that the West was supplying the terrorists.
  20. As you should fair enough fair Yes....that is one of the reasons I trust him Yes it does seems so Let me let Nelson answer that..... https://youtube.com/shorts/5zil0OBpYyQ?si=srqT_KWB2OVXKAMa Your Enemies Are Not Our Enemies" - Nelson Mandela He is an actual Captain in the Military of Burkina Faso..... So yes the Military is in Charge..... Yes he did overthrow the previous Administration.....that previous Administration also did overthrow the Democratically elected Administration that was previous to them .
  21. To me the evidence is overwhelming..... My interest in this topic goes back the early 80's Not really..... I have vague memories....
  22. Okay he is really speaking in French.....this a English translation - so we all communication in the language of our oppressors Captain Ibrahim Traoré's Powerful July 16, 2026 Address | Full Speech
  23. I believe in them too Yes I No Longer Just Believe......I now Know The Ancients Cultures Civilization and Societies speaks of this.... Many current cultures and religions also supports this... To the fullest extent
  24. Being Rich in America Makes you special......You can literally change Laws - think about that. Trump is exceptional in that he is the Richest President ever so far......that counts for a lot - he can and will get away with things other Presidents can only dream of... Bloomberg got a third term as mayor of NY......because he was rich - my opinion.
