the thing i think a lot of people don't realize is that the usa will always support isreal because it is an allied nation with strategic geography relevance to both the military and the oil industry. <- this is a gross over simplification and a tldr but it's the gist of the matter
the president of the usa has three roles: the person, the party affiliate, and the figurehead. with regard to isreal we have to consider what joe biden believes, what the democratic party believes, and what the the figurehead believes, because all contribute to the policies joe biden makes. and when he speaks or passes a policy we have to ask ourselves which of these three faces are doing it. the figurehead will always support isreal because isreal is an ally that furthers usa interests
in order to change what the president as a figurehead believes (regardless of who is in the role) means changing the zeitgeist of the usa to be either more moderate or more pro-palestine, whatever your personal value is
changing the zeitgeist means enacting grass-root efforts (eg, protests and educating your local community) as well as voting for elected officials who share your values on the matter (in order to influence congress)
additionally, it means supporting the ICC's request for arrest warrants and holding those accused of war crimes accountable. if you live in romania, mexico, or benin you should also see what you can do to sway the opinions of judges iulia motoc, maria del socorro flores liera, and reine alapini-gansou, if anything, as they are reviewing the request
additionally, if you live in usa you should see what if anything you can do to protest sanctions placed against ICC officials
simply pinning the relationship between usa and isreal on biden and using that as a reason not to vote denies the complexity of the situation, shows a surface-level understanding of international relations and domestic policy making, and seeks to reduce your perceived personal agency

On September 15, 2021, the International Criminal Court authorized the commencement of an investigation into the campaign against illegal drugs, concluding that there was reasonable basis to proceed, “in the sense that the crime against humanity of murder appears to have been committed.” The decision, signed by Presiding Judge Péter Kovács, Judge Reine Adélaïde Sophie Alapini-Gansou, and Judge María del Socorro Flores Liera, noted that “President Rodrigo Duterte has publicly encouraged extrajudicial killings in a way that is incompatible with a genuine law enforcement operation.” “I would like to reiterate my statement,” Duterte said in March 2023. “You sons of bitches in the ICC, I don’t care. You know why? Early on in my presidency, if you were listening, [I said] I would stake my name, my honor and the presidency itself.”

This is Lukman Gbadegesin Chosen by Oyomesi, A British-fulani Colony in the heartland of Yoruba.
The prince was chosen by Oyomesi. Governor Makinde rejected him. He said the process was flawed and manipulated to favor him. He insisted on a new process free and fair. Before we talk about him, let’s talk about his grandfather His grandfather was King Belo Gbadegesin. He worked with the British to build a Fulani Yoruba alliance which the homegrown Yoruba nationalists at the time led by Awolowo rejected. Belo detested anything Yoruba tradition. He refused to live in the old palace and built a new one with a mosque in the compound.
He stayed away from cultural activities and redefined the position of the Alaafin as a custodian of tradition. King Belo disliked the sage for rejecting friendship with the North. When Akintola eventually worked with them to get the sage out of the way, he honored him by conferring to him the title of Aare Ona Kakanfo. Among his wives and offspring. Let’s save that for another day to avoid gaslighting. Fast forward. His son Lukman Gbadegesin. A chip off the old block. Totally dissociated from anything traditional at Oyo. He grew up in Sokoto. Under the guidance of Arab/Fulani scholars. Politically, Lukman Gbadegesin identifies with Northern interests. He used these connections to lobby for the throne. The Bashorun along with a few clerics working with the North worked day and night to make sure he got the throne. Details of this are too sensitive to discuss on tabloids but for Makinde, he would be Alaafin today and the great throne of Oyo would be an extension of Sokoto Caliphate. Oyo is the symbol of Fulani resistance. Ancient kings suffered many humiliations to preserve the throne. When Alaafin Amodo rejected Sokoto, his kingdom was invaded and the Alapini shrine was looted. All the Egungun dresses were carried away along with all the young single women at Oyo. Alaafin Oluewu was taken to Ilorin as a prisoner after he was captured at the Eleduwe war of 1835, tried and openly executed for refusing to surrender Oyo to Ilorin and Gwandu. Atiba moved the capital to preserve the kingdom, rather than watch it fall into the hands of Emir Shita of Ilorin. What they could not do through war. They are trying to do this through peace. Yoruba autonomy should never be compromised or surrendered to alien influence, not even in the name of religion. Read the full article

A essência de Exú não se equilibra no Orí Humano, é como pegar o mercúrio (azogue) e tentar mante-lo afixado, conclusão: impossível! Exú já existe em nós, temos o próprio Bára individualizado, existem alguns axés que arrumam o Bára do corpo humano. É isso que me refiro, a função de Exú está na própria procriação humana, ele é multiplicador, ele é infinito, ele é único. Tais axés mencionados e nem se quer tem uma literatura plausível que pudéssemos deparar, comparar, não tem nada. Exú está ligado a Orunmilá nos oráculos, no meredilogun, essa é a sua função, advogado de Olodumare, o informante, aquele que testa e aprova. Por que não fazemos nada sem antes agradar Exú? Por que cantamos o Ipadè e reverenciamos Exú? Por que os Alapinis, Ojés, reverenciam Exú? Por que Exú se encontra na vida e na morte? nos axexes? Função de Exú. Em África os El’Exús, sacerdotes devotos de Exú, vesten-se com roupas e adereços de Exú para ganhar uns trocados dos turistas, fazem seu comercio vendendo artezanatos, promovem teatros, danças, tudo ligado a Exú.A energia que se fixa em um ori humano é de Legbara. #ilêaséibádanaràká🌈 (em Ilê Asé Ibá Dan Aràká) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrN3HmtnnzH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e895uzzz6j3s

DICA: Exposição “Mestre Didi, emergência mítica – olhar universal”, em cartaz até 12/3 na Galeria Simões de Assis, em São Paulo. “Didi é um sacerdote-artista. Expressa, através de criações estéticas, arraigada intimidade com seu universo existencial onde ancestralidade e visão de mundo africanas se fundem com sua experiência de vida baiana. Tradição e contemporaneidade, civilizações replantadas e recriadas. “Evoluir sem perder a essência”, nas suas próprias palavras. Completamente integrado com o universo nagô de origem iorubana, revela em sua obra sua inspiração mítica, formal, material. A linguagem nagô com a qual se expressa é um discurso sobre a experiência do sagrado. Mestre Didi absorveu o significado das múltiplas relações do homem com seu meio ético, social e cósmico, assimilando esses valores e modos desde sua infância. Iniciado aos 8 anos de idade, conviveu com grandes mestres africanos e desenvolveu sua vida iniciática e gosto estético em bem-estruturadas comunidades nagôs. [..] Suas obras se inscrevem na vertente mitológica das artes, projetam uma energia poética de caráter universal. Extrapolam o tempo. Didi redimensiona sua existência de homem indivíduo inserindo-se na corrente da ancestralidade, nos constantes renascimentos perpetuados e cultuados no Panteão da Terra, lama genitora, terra molhada, fecundada. […] Em um movimento de recriação simbólica, Didi transporta materiais e técnicas tradicionais para uma arte contemporânea, traduzindo um conhecimento mítico e universal do qual é herdeiro. Por isso seu trabalho é autêntico no sentido emocional, moral e visual, proporcionando uma profunda coerência formal a suas criações. O trabalho de Didi é tradicional e novo.” Texto escrito por Juana Elbein dos Santos, originalmente publicado no catálogo da exposição “O Alapini-Escultor da Ancestralidade Afro-Brasileira" em 2013 no Museu Afro Brasil. Serviço: Mestre Didi, emergência mítica – olhar universal. De 3/2 a 12/3/22. Galeria Simões de Assis: Rua Sarandi, 113 A - São Paulo-SP.

History 101: What it takes to be a MENTALLY ENSLAVED Harlequin in Your ancestral Land.
The quote for today is a page from Toyin Falola's book, 'Yoruba Warlords of the 19th Century'. To a lot of Yoruba Muslims. Islam means servitude to Usman Dan Fodio's estate at Sokoto. They indulge in the same idiocy that led to the fall of the great Hausa civilization. Many Yoruba Muslims from Oyo are a dangerously brainwashed set of people that would pose future danger for the preservation of Yorubaland like their ancestors who pledged allegiance to Ilorin and revealed many of the warfare secrets of Oyo. leading to Emir Shitta’s decision to send Jimba. The general of his slave army to Oyo. With the role of confiscating all the Egungun dresses during the reign of Alaafin Amodo. This Egungun mysticism is the secret behind the expansion of Oyo from a boarder post kingdom into the greatest empire of the lower Niger. It was introduced during the reign of Alaafin Ofinran. This was the time the head of the Egugun mysteries called Alapini was added to the Oyomesi. The throne at Sokoto is the origin of many setbacks to Yoruba country.
When Salih, popularly known as Alfa Alimi put plans in place to get rid of Afonja and take the throne of his ancestors. He brought warriors who fought the Jihad at Sokoto. Some of them were led by one of his elderly sons. Abdulsalam, the warlord who would later rise politically at Ilorin to become the first Emir. It was from Ilorin that many invasions into Yoruba heartlands led to the mass capture of Yoruba people who were sold into slavery at the coast. One of the cities razed down at this time was Oshogun and one of the future legends captured from this city was Ajayi Crowther. With all the raiding and capture of Yoruba cities, a portion of the captives were sent to Sokoto as tributes to Sultan Belo. After the visit of Clapperton to Sokoto. with the desire of Europe to have a bilateral relationship with the caliphate. Sultan Belo developed a near obsession for Yorubaland. When his emissaries gave him news of the country. He was amazed. In one of his writings, he wrote that. ‘Yaorubaland is an extensive province containing rivers, forests, sands, and mountains….. Also many great and extraordinary things.' At the battle of Otefan, when Ilorin saw the massive army led by Oluewu and Eleduwe of Bariba to meet the Emir in battle, Shita sent a message to Sokoto for help.
Sultan Belo sent 17 generals from his military base at Rabbah ( the birthplace of Ahmadu Belo, Sadaurna of Sokoto) leading calvary horsemen of close to 100,000 warriors. Thanks to the Military prowess of the Baribas and Oyo warlords, Ilorin was defeated in battle. Ojo Amepo… one of the legendary Kakanfos at Oyo, salvaged the Oyo army and built a coalition army of soldiers from Oyo and Ikoyi. The future great Kakanfo Kurunmi fought under his banner. When he finally fell in battle against the caliphate due to treachery from within, his soldiers dispersed and many of the cities he protected in Yorubaland were evacuated. This was what led to the migration tensions in Yoruba country. the origin of the Ife/Modakeke crisis. Owu/Ibadan tensions. Egba/Ijaye fights and Ibadan/Egba wars. All these tensions resulted from mass migrations from the North, by Yoruba people fleeing from the caliphate. Nigeria today, thorough treachery places the throne of Sokoto as the supreme authority for Islam. This happened during the junta of Babangida. The Kanuri people who are mostly Muslims rejected this. But many Yoruba Muslims. Like the mentally enslaved idiots that they embrace overlords that nearly destroyed their heritage in the name of religion. The cognitive dissonance is why many mentally damaged religious slaves of Abraham do not understand why a man who rates Sokoto above Ife is not fit to rule the Oyo kingdom. Many Hausa people were Muslims when Usman Dan Fodio launched his Jihad. Like the stupid Yoruba people who believe religion over DNA determines brotherhood in nationhood, they fell for a scam and today, they are second-class citizens in their ancestral home. To associate with the very throne that caused so much pain and sorrow to your ancestors in the name of religion is to be a MENTALLY ENSLAVED FOOL. Read the full article
