Amerian propaganda machine at work to justify wicked oppression and wrongdoing. This video which claimed to be live was a Chicago Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest' event kicks off downtown Chicago this isnt today and how come its dark at the stadium when it says 2:30 pm right now in chicago. Believe propaganda machine at your own risk.

This is a textbook example of the American propaganda machine at work—misrepresenting footage to manufacture a false sense of normalcy while grave wrongdoing unfolds elsewhere. A video presented as a live broadcast of Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve in Chicago is demonstrably not current. At the time the clip was labeled “live,” it was approximately 2:30 p.m. in Chicago, broad daylight, yet the footage shows a fully dark stadium and nighttime street concert conditions. The same contradiction applies to Florida and New York, where it is clearly daytime, not night.

There is no live Florida edition of Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve currently airing, and no legitimate basis for portraying nighttime celebrations as real-time events during daylight hours across multiple U.S. time zones. This is recycled or pre-recorded content being falsely framed as live coverage.

Such deception is not accidental. It serves to distract, pacify, and manipulate public perception—projecting celebration and normalcy while obscuring violence, oppression, and misconduct carried out elsewhere. Believe this propaganda at your own risk. When reality and basic facts like time and daylight are ignored, the intent is not entertainment, but misdirection.

If the United States and President Trump are allowed to get away with bombing a sovereign nation, kidnapping its elected leader, and inflicting civilian casualties without consequence, then no leader—elected or otherwise—is safe anywhere in the world. Such impunity would shatter international law, erode national sovereignty, and establish a precedent where power, not law, determines legitimacy. In that world, borders, authority, and civilian protections become meaningless, and global instability becomes inevitable. Something must be done to stop this madness.

US President Donald Trump says Washington will play a major role in Venezuela’s oil sector following a military assault that led to the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

Speaking to Fox News ‍on Saturday, Trump said the ‍United States is ⁠going to be "very strongly involved" in Venezuela's ​oil ‍industry.

"We have ​the greatest oil companies in the ‌world, the biggest, the greatest, ‍and we're going to be very much involved,” he said.

In a post published on the social media platform Truth Social earlier on Saturday, Trump said Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, have been kidnapped by US armed forces after Washington carried out a large-scale strike against the country.

The United States of America has successfully carried out a large-scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the country,” he wrote.

US VP says 'stolen oil must be returned'

US Vice President JD Vance said the Venezuelan president has been offered “multiple off ramps” before he and his wife were kidnapped by the US military.

In a post on his X account on Saturday, Vance said President Trump maintained clarity throughout his numerous exit options.

“The drug trafficking must stop, and the stolen oil must be returned to the United States,” he wrote.

He added that Maduro has become the latest to realize that President Trump follows through on his words.

According to the London-based Energy Institute, Venezuela holds the world’s largest oil reserves – about 303 billion barrels, or 17% of global reserves – surpassing OPEC+ leader Saudi Arabia.

The military attack on Venezuela follows months of pressure on the country under the pretext of combating illegal drugs destined for the United States.

Caracas firmly denied any connection to drug trafficking and maintained that Washington aimed to overthrow the Venezuelan president in a bid to take control of the nation’s vast oil reserves.

At least 115 people have lost their lives in 35 attacks since early September, with the US administration refusing to clarify the identities of those targeted.

In December, Trump announced a “total and complete blockade” of sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela.

US forces have captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife during Washington’s strikes on the nation’s capital, US President Donald Trump has announced, adding that the two have been flown out of the South American country. Venezuelan authorities have long accused the US of attempting to topple the government in Caracas.

In a statement on Saturday on Truth Social, Trump confirmed that the US had “successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela.”

“Its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the Country. This operation was done in conjunction with US Law Enforcement,” he wrote, adding that additional details would be provided at a news conference in his Florida residence in Mar-a-Lago at 11am.

The unfolding events in Venezuela once again expose the criminal recklessness of U.S. foreign policy, masquerading under the hollow banners of “peace” and “democracy.” While Washington lectures the world on human rights and stability, the reality is that powerful forces—including those aligned with Trump’s so-called presidency of peace—pursue an agenda of aggression, subversion, and resource domination.

The US attacks on civilian and military installations lay bare the true nature of this criminal agenda: a brazen willingness to violate international law, sow chaos, and endanger innocent lives—all while dressing these operations in the hypocritical rhetoric of security and liberty. This is not leadership; it is a criminal mindset, a strategic campaign of intimidation and intervention designed to control sovereign nations under the guise of moral superiority.

History will not remember these actions as benevolent, but as the manifestation of a deeply corrupt and dangerous approach to world affairs—one that elevates private gain and political theatrics above human life, stability, and justice. Any claims of peace from this administration are revealed as hollow lies, masking a profoundly destructive and unethical agenda.

Psalms 73:8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.

banku:
You don't understand the penchant of these gullible people that want to become President by any means necessary or burn down the country.

When did Libyans realize they lived in Paradise under Gadhafi that was demonized before destroying the country?

The US rep. fighting for Christians in Nigeria do not give a hook about Christians in his own country except extremist Christian Right that call all others woke and left. Those Nigerians cheering for the destruction of their own home, will become the victim of collateral damages. Can you believe Netanyahu is now their champion after telling they don't have Jewish DNA. Even the real Jewish Black before Israeli are treated like dogs in Israel

100% on Point. Many Nigerians praising U.S. intervention in the plight of Christians clearly lack understanding of history, evidence, and the numerous breaches of oaths that underpinned Western global dominance—achieved repeatedly through deceit, bloodshed, and destruction by those claiming to champion human rights.

Christian identity is invoked when it serves U.S. or fake Israeli foreign policy, yet disregarded when those same Christians are migrants, refugees, or economically displaced from Africa and Latin America. In the land of Israel, Ethiopian women were reportedly sterilized; Christians are spat on in public; Palestinian Christians have been killed; and Gaza’s most historically significant church was bombed with worshipers inside. Yet suddenly, Nigerian Christians are portrayed as a priority.

The tactics being used echo historical patterns: exploiting ethnic and tribal divisions, fueling religious extremism, and manipulating worldly power. These strategies were employed in Rwanda, during the transatlantic slave trade, and throughout colonial Africa—creating chaos and division to justify exploitation and control. Today’s selective concern for Christians continues the same pattern of opportunistic manipulation under the guise of moral or religious obligation.

What is the essence of this long tori now?
The terrorist group posing as a govt do not have any clue as to how to save the lives and properties of Nigerians, the only thing they are good at is to rehabilitate and dish out even more deadly terrorists back into the society.

The current propaganda justifying violence by ISWAP, ISIS, and certain political actors in the U.S. and Israel conceals a deeper agenda: criminal gain and strategic control over key West African resources. While these groups claim to fight for religious causes, their actions reveal a stark contradiction.

ISWAP and ISIS issue ultimatums such as “convert or die” while simultaneously massacring Muslim communities, looting livestock, trafficking narcotics, kidnapping civilians, raping women, committing adultery, and raiding villages—all for material gain. Their conduct is criminal, not religious.

These terrorist organizations exploit the language of Islam to legitimize violence and enrich themselves, while advancing the geopolitical and economic interests of external actors seeking control over gold, diamonds, and other resources in Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger for extraction to Antwerp and Western markets.

It is critical to distinguish between these externally funded terrorist groups and the legitimate struggles of people seeking justice, security, and dignity. What ISWAP and ISIS represent is not faith or resistance, but organized evil, systematic exploitation, and strategic destabilization.

Groups that issue ultimatums such as “convert or die” while simultaneously massacring Muslim communities expose a fundamental contradiction that cannot be reconciled with Islam. These same terrorist organizations have murdered Muslims, looted livestock, trafficked narcotics, raped women, kidnapped civilians, committed adultery, and raided Muslim villages for material gain. Their actions demonstrate criminality, not religious conviction.

Organizations such as ISWAP and ISIS do not defend Islam; they instrumentalize its language to legitimize violence, enrich themselves, and advance the interests of political actors who benefit from chaos. Their conduct stands in direct opposition to Islamic law, ethics, and communal responsibility.

It is therefore essential to distinguish between terrorist groups funded and sustained by criminal networks and the legitimate struggle of people seeking justice, security, and dignity. What is evident in ISWAP and ISIS is not faith or resistance, but organized evil and systematic wickedness.

Thank you for the awareness.

Thank you for this intelligent comment.

You are spot on brother. It has become evident that population size alone does not translate into strength, courage, or resistance to oppression. Scripture itself warns against pride in numbers when there is no fear of God, for deliverance and national restoration are achieved by a faithful few, not by multitudes. History consistently shows that God saves nations through principled resolve rather than sheer demographic weight.

Nigeria exemplifies this reality. Despite its population of over 280 million, the state has demonstrated institutional weakness by aligning with oppressive economic structures and Western financial interests. The mismanagement of national resources in favor of external institutions such as the IMF and World Bank has contributed directly to widespread hardship, food insecurity, and severe currency devaluation.

This observation is not offered as a partisan attack on government, but as a sober assessment of a nation that has subordinated the welfare of its people to external economic control, thereby exposing the limits of numerical strength absent moral clarity and sovereignty.

With all Nigeria problems,I think I still like the fact that we are still a bit civil when it comes to international relations.What is the value of Mali,Nigeria and Bukina Faso to the US,Come to think of it,are their citizens not part of the problems Nigeria is grapping with when it comes to Insugency and Homelessness. I met one of them the other day a security man that says he is from Bukina Faso and another from Mali and that they are massive number of them but that all of them are claiming to come from Kano.Things like this are what the late sage Chuba Okadigbo called the "ranting of an Ant"

Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger are not economically marginal states. They possess significant reserves of gold, uranium, lithium, and other strategic resources and are central to the economic and security stability of West Africa. The long-standing instability and mass displacement in the Sahel are the result of decades of exploitation by corrupt local elites in collaboration with Western institutions, with extensive resource extraction and minimal reinvestment in local development.

The current military-led governments have been systematically delegitimized through media narratives that obscure this historical context. This shift in tone coincides with the termination of Western military presence and the dismantling of exploitative political and economic arrangements. The resulting hostility reflects the loss of external influence rather than genuine concern for regional stability.

Nigeria illustrates a similar pattern, where resource wealth primarily benefits entrenched elites and external financial institutions, contributing to insecurity, currency devaluation, and economic fragility. In contrast, leaders such as Captain Ibrahim Traoré represent a popular rejection of this model and an effort to restore sovereignty, redirect national resources toward domestic reconstruction, and end external dependency.

Judging these states without acknowledging the structural violence and exploitation they are emerging from misrepresents both their legitimacy and their trajectory.

frank417:
Like sey if US decides to roll out all bans and sanctions their economy will withstand it.

No be everything be tit for tat.

The AES states are not weak nations. Rather, their historical experience with Western engagement over the past century has been characterized by exploitation, systemic underdevelopment, food insecurity, and escalating instability. These outcomes are not incidental; they are the cumulative result of external political, economic, and security interventions that prioritized Western interests over local development and sovereignty.

In response, AES governments are now reorienting their strategies toward domestic economic consolidation and social resilience, with the objective of strengthening their populations and reducing external dependency. Western imperial influence has been decisively rejected, which largely explains the adverse reaction from the United States and its allies, including the imposition of travel bans and diplomatic pressure on West African nations aligned with AES.

These measures are less about governance or security concerns and more about the loss of strategic control over a critical African resource corridor. For over a century, Western states and corporations have extracted gold, lithium, uranium, and other high-value resources from the Sahel with limited reinvestment in local economies. The erosion of this extractive access represents a significant geopolitical and economic setback for Western interests.

Usa has less to loose

It's like African league baning transfer of Europe players to Africa because Europe bans transfers of African players

The Alliance of Sahel States Sees Western involvement as “neo‑colonial interference”
The AES leadership publicly accuses Western governments of:
Exploiting resources, Undermining sovereignty, Supporting corrupt elites, Failing to stop terrorism

This narrative is highlighted in the analysis of AES “defiance” and sovereignty struggles which are all valid and clear as the day to the world. So they have the right to recompense the oppressors aura for aura .

I’m mixed and living abroad. My mother is European and my father is Nigerian.

I’m now engaged to marry a loving European man, and if I’m honest, this experience has made me afraid. Afraid of repeating cycles if I marry a Nigerian man. Afraid of normalising things I don’t believe in. I don’t reject my Nigerian heritage — I love the food, the music, the culture — but when it comes to marriage, honesty, and responsibility, I feel completely disconnected from what I’ve seen modeled.

Right now, I don’t even want to be around my father. I feel like something fundamental has collapsed, and I don’t know how to rebuild respect where trust no longer exists.

After carefully reading your post about your experiences with your father, it appears that you have formed certain judgments that may have influenced your decision to marry a man of European origin. This pattern is not uncommon among children born in the diaspora, particularly women, given the cultural differences and power dynamics they may observe or experience while growing up.

Women, whether consciously or unconsciously, often gravitate toward men they perceive as stable or empowered, so your choice is not entirely surprising, especially considering your upbringing and relationship with your father. That said, it is important to avoid being narrow-minded or making broad generalizations. There are many Black men in Europe who are loving partners, responsible providers, and deeply committed to their families.

It may be worth reflecting on whether unresolved pain or bitterness stemming from your relationship with your father has shaped your perceptions. Choosing not to marry from your father’s ethnic background should not be framed as a definitive judgment against an entire group. Healing personal wounds can help prevent individual experiences from being projected onto a broader community.

Many people sit comfortably behind their screens, typing careless criticisms at those working in the trenches. They condemn the authorities from afar, yet refuse to invest their education, skills, or creativity in rebuilding the very communities they claim to care about. Instead, they pour their talents into strengthening other nations while their own estates fall deeper into decay. They forget a simple truth: Lasting change requires participation, not commentary. Progress demands contribution, not convenience.

AFTERMATH OF CELEBRATING NEW YEAR: The Julian and Gregorian calendars were instituted by Rome. It is a well known fact that the Roman Empire were the descendants of Esau,the Caucasian races of the present.

January 1st is not the New Year according to God. January 1st is the celebration of the pagan Roman God Janus. The New year according to God is in the spring not the dead of winter. 🫵🏿Jonah 2:8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.👉🏾Ecclesiasticus 4:20
