Luis Inacio "Lula" da Silva won. Democracy won. Authoritarianism lost. Right wing authoritarian imperialism lost. But we in South Africa must be vigilant. The wave of online disinformation attacks employed in Brazil for years is now here, in full force.

Lula vs. Bolsonaro: I was held in solitary confinement for 1,901 days for revealing the truth about the U.S. government's killings and espionage, including against Brazil and its industries. Out of power, Lula fought for my freedom. In power, Lula discussed my persecution with Pope Francis, who decided to meet with my family and offer help. After my release, Lula and I met in Rome to mourn the Holy Father's passing. Lula was kind to my children and asked for nothing in return. In contrast, Jair and Flávio Bolsonaro did nothing and said nothing. Yet without the ability to say no to Washington and Tel Aviv, there can be no domestic policy, only foreign instructions. Those orders are always the same: "Expand our theft of resources and wages, and keep your mouths shut about us murdering children." Sellouts will surrender everything in exchange for a cut, even their own tongues.
Trying to reason with bigoted racists is really a fool's errand. It's a horrendous waste of time. Racists believe their own propaganda about the world and no amount of facts and reason will sway them.

In 2024 the US passed a law which forced ByteDance, the founders of TikTok, to give up over 80% of its shareholding in TikTok’s US operations. It is now the minority shareholder. I am curious to know Leo Brent Bozell’s opinion on this, does he also regard what was done to ByteDance by the IS government as silly?
US Ambassador Leo Brent Bozell III says that, as he understands it, Elon Musk offered to put Starlink free in 500 South African schools and pay for it in perpetuity. He says the government instead asked for 30% of the company, and calls that demand preposterous. Full episode available on our YouTube channel.

Another Paul Biya in the making!
The 86-year-old Mutharika left Malawi on 6 October, for what officials described as a private visit. This is his fifth visit this year, with limited information made public on each of these trips.
Information Minister Shadric Namalomba has denied that Mutharika's absence had created a leadership vacuum.

If all the remedies suggested fail, consult a doctor and ask them to prescribe dopaquel. You will sleep peacefully and you wont wake up fatigued with a hangover, which is what over-the counter sleeping meds like Somnil and betasleep do to you.
Pravin Gordhan did Vuyo Jarana very dirty. I could write a book about that whole saga.
Every now and again, I like to read Mr. Jarana’s resignation letter…

Didnt they declare "profit" last year?
their target market is probably Europeans and Americans with their Euros and Dollars. in Euros, R30 million is a paltry €1.62 million, which is really small change dollar millionaires.
how would anyone justify throwing R500K at this nonsense?
Politics is about democracy and what better way to demonstrate your commitment to democratic principles that to pracrice democracy internally by having electoral conferences. Even if the outcome is predermined, it at least gives a veneer of democracy. Parties that dont host elective conferences are effectively led bu dictators and we simple cant trust that they will do what is right wh3n they are in government.
When is @Action4SA having an electoral conference to choose leaders?
I really cant advice which EV is better. But under the circumstances, it would make no sense to buy an internal combustion. Just move on with the times...
