Fear: The silent weapon that weakens the body, the mind, and our freedom

 

Fear is central to the maintenance of oppression, as those in power often rely on the fear of the oppressed to sustain control. I don’t have it.

Fear is central to the maintenance of oppression, as those in power often rely on the fear of the oppressed to sustain control. I don’t have it. 


Fear is one of the most destructive forces in human life. It weakens the body, clouds the mind, and slowly erodes a person’s confidence until they no longer trust their own voice.

 

While fear is a natural human emotion, it becomes deeply unhealthy when it is allowed to dominate our decisions, our relationships, and our sense of self.

 

A fearful person is constantly anticipating danger, even when none exists, and this constant tension drains both physical and mental energy.

 

However, fear does more than harm the individual. It empowers those who seek to control them. Throughout history, oppressive systems have relied on fear as their most reliable weapon. When people are afraid, they hesitate to speak, to question, or to resist.

 

Those in positions of power understand this well. They exploit fear to silence dissent, to maintain authority, and to keep communities divided. Fear becomes a tool of manipulation, turning human vulnerability into an opportunity for domination.

 

This is why discouraging fear is not simply a matter of personal wellbeing; it is an act of liberation. When people learn to confront fear, they reclaim their autonomy.

 

Courage does not mean the absence of fear; it means refusing to let fear dictate one’s life. A society that encourages courage becomes harder to deceive, harder to control, and harder to oppress. Fear shrinks people; courage expands them.

 

To overcome fear, we must first recognize how it operates. Fear thrives in silence, isolation, and misinformation. It loses its power when people speak openly, support one another, and seek the truth.

 

By choosing courage, whether in small daily decisions or in moments of great injustice, we weaken the systems that depend on our fear.

 

The more we understand fear, the less it can control us, and the more we can stand together against those who benefit from our silence.

 

I fear no one; every powerful person began life as a helpless baby. They may hold authority, but my strength is my pen. Whenever my words defeat them, they reveal their weakness by turning even traffic into a weapon.

 

People who rely on fear to maintain their position are always searching for the timid, the compliant, and the easily intimidated. When they meet someone who doesn’t fear them, their entire strategy collapses.

 

Since childhood, I have feared no one, and I will carry that fearlessness to my grave. Once I reveal who I am, don’t waste your time trying to oppress me. That will never work.


My enemies can only reduce the visibility of my blog, but in doing so, they’ve allowed me to spread the very articles they’re trying to suppress across many platforms.


I extend my gratitude to the management of all the social media platforms and news websites that have enabled me to publish my articles on their platforms. 


While many articles have been improperly taken down from this blog, the individuals behind these actions have no authority over the other platforms where my work continues to be available.

Kim Jong-Un Is Still There, But Trump Is Gone

Trump has miserably lost the presidential race to Biden, kicking him out from the White House

Trump has miserably lost the presidential race to Biden, kicking him out from the White House


In life, if you want to be respected, then give the same respect to others. A pastor who preaches virtue to his congregation and practices vice will not only be disrespected but will also lose all his church members. This is exactly what has happened to Donald Trump, after losing to Biden.



In the name of democracy, the American government has established itself in the eyes of the world as a great nation and the land of opportunity but they have no respect for human lives.



Pride, arrogance, underestimation, disrespect, violation of human rights, oppression, medical crimes, etc, are part of America's constitution of democracy that many, especially, poor people in Third World Countries have experienced. 


There is a big difference between respect and fear but it seems the American government has taken respect from poor countries as a fear. Thus, the government takes advantage of the weak and the vulnerable to do everything they like whether good or bad. 



Many world leaders know about the clandestine works of the American government but they hardly speak about it. In the past and present America has committed so much crime against its own people by using them for experimentation and also testing deadly diseases as bio-warfare products on other people outside America. 



The American government enjoys every crime as long as there isn't any confrontation from any part of the world but now some world leaders are becoming fed up and wouldn't tolerate any more from America. One of them is Kim Jong-Un of North Korea.



Frankly speaking, the North Korean leader has no respect for America and the hate he has for that country is beyond description. 


The present showdown between America and North Korea has caught the interest of many countries, especially the enemies of the American government and many hope Kim Jong-Un will teach America a big lesson. 



The question on the lips of many is: Why Kim Jong-Un has been so disrespectful to America? Why was he challenging America to its core by testing missiles despite all the warnings? Why did North Korea treat Otto Warmbier like that to his death? Why Trump can't tame the North Korean leader?



Kim Jong-un doesn’t respect America because he has witnessed how the American government used supremacy to oppress the weak and vulnerable people. Kim Jong-Un knows about the US government’s bio-weapons project for global depopulation, leading to the test of Aids and Ebola in Africa.



For a very long time, like a spy, the North Korean leader knows about the secret killings of scientists and doctors in the country. There is nothing evil or good taking place in America without his knowledge. The man wouldn't have bothered much but he was provoked when the American government popped its nose in North Korea's business.



How can a killer call someone else a killer? That's exactly what America did. The American government covers up its crimes while attacking Kim Jong-Un with publications that he has executed his late uncle's entire family to prevent 'mutiny' - including women and children.



No one is neither defending Kim Jong-Un nor refuting the accusations but the American government does worse things than North Korea. It was when America started interfering in North Korea's politics, the leader also starts revealing the secrets of the American government, including the testing of Ebola in Africa.


Do people expect the North Korean leader to respect the American government? Not at all, that will not happen. These are some of the reasons he continues to show disrespect to the American government testing the eleventh missile so far. The North Korean leader has been in violation forever and doesn't care. 


America is a sad country indeed than what many people think. Their definition of superpower or democracy has been abused making the country one of the most hated countries in the world. The government always dictates to Third World governments, but they don’t listen to anyone.



Trump knows that the North Korean leader is a dangerous man. Over the tension between North Korea and America, Trump started in a very bad way with threats and boasts over the might of the American army. But Kim Jong-Un is not an African leader America can intimidate.



Weeks after Trump couldn't change the mind of Jong-Un, he played it diplomatically saying: "I Would Be Honored to Meet With N. Korean Dictator – Under the Right Circumstances." The US government calls him a dictator but he is there and now where is Donald Trump? Out of the White House.

FEMALE CIRCUMCISION IS BARBARISM


Dangerous implements used for female circumcision in Africa


Dangerous implements used for female circumcision in Africa


Oppression and discrimination against women have become major concerns in many parts of the world, including Africa. 


Many women have become subject to all kinds of horrible situations, ranging from rape, sexual harassment, and physical battering to psychological abuse.

In some parts of Africa and Asia, men hold the view that "as a husband, to that woman," they have the right to beat up their wives any time they wish to do so. The ignorant idea that girls are not as important as boys views women as sexual objects rather than industrious, hard-working people.

An outdated practice going on in Africa, which has caused many health hazards to women, is female circumcision. In the Republic of Sierra Leone, an ethnic group calling itself "The Bondo Society" still carries this practice. 

Why female circumcision? The idea behind this barbarous act, which has caused so much misery and sickness to thousands of women across Africa, is to "help" the woman to be faithful and stay with only her husband.

Female circumcision is practiced in 26 countries across Africa, and the significance behind this act is totally meaningless and not beneficial to women in any way. Women are not going to be tied down by this outdated tradition. The world must fight against this wicked act. It's totally inhuman.

The fall of Apartheid, I knew I was part of it in some way - Lucky Dube


Interview of Lucky Dube at Pole-pole Festival on July 4th, 2004, (Belgium) By JOEL SAVAGE


Interview of Lucky Dube at Pole-Pole Festival on July 4th, 2004, (Belgium) By JOEL SAVAGE



Lucky Dube is, no doubt, one of the best reggae artists the world has ever produced. His strong dissemination of melodic messages about racism, exploitation, and oppression has won him an acclamation all over the world. 


On July 4th, 2004, in Linkerover-Antwerp, after playing live, he granted this exclusive interview to the Voice Magazine Belgian Correspondent. Joel Savage

TV: When you started music at a young age, did you ever dream that one day your music would be widely accepted by reggae fans worldwide today?

Lucky: Well, I have an idea. Really, this was a dream for me. I wanted it to be like that, even though I wouldn't have a clear vision as to know how big it could be. But I have an idea, I wanted the music to reach people everywhere in the world.

TV: Many fans think that you are another Peter Tosh in the field of reggae, with strong lyrics of liberation. How do you react to this credit?

Lucky: It's a very great honour really, because Peter Tosh was the greatest musician that ever lived, and so I respect him so much, and to be given the same stage as he is a great honour to me. I do really appreciate that.

TV: On one of your albums, "Soul Taker," there is a special track called "Teach the World". Please, what inspired you to write such a great song?

Lucky: Well, "Teach the World" started actually because when we go around, there are a lot of things that we see and people from different countries, different cultures, and everything. But only to find out that people don't know much about Africa. 

They have some mis-speculations about Africa and just wanted people to teach each other. People in Africa must teach the outside world about their culture, beliefs, and everything, and want the outside world to teach Africa about its culture.

TV: You fought against apartheid in your songs. How did you feel ten years ago, to see apartheid falling like the Berlin Wall in 1989?

Lucky: It was great because it was the biggest dream I had at that time. So I was very happy when it finally happened. I knew I was part of it in some way. So I was very happy when it happened.

TV: You played in Washington DC, on September 20, 2000, with Joseph Hill's Culture. What was your experience with that group, since Joseph's message in the music is in line with yours?

Lucky: Well, it has been great with Joseph Hill. You know I have done many concerts with him. He is one of the good men in the music industry.

TV: Being a South African, you have visited many African countries. Have you ever visited war-torn countries like Sierra Leone and Liberia, since you have thousands of fans over there?

Lucky: Yes, we have visited those countries.

TV: That's great to hear that.

TV: Reggae in jail, reggae in church, everybody likes it. That's a true statement by you. But why is it that reggae music is given less attention than any other music? Is it because of its strong message?

Have a copy of this great book to read the interviews of your favourite reggae and African artists.
