How Netanyahu pushed Trump into a costly Iran war with global consequences

When U.S. President Donald Trump declared that “No American leader has done what I have done for Israel,” he revealed more than pride. He exposed a long‑standing pattern of pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Why Libya’s tragedy made Iranians resist Trump’s call for regime change

 

Libya’s collapse and Iranian protests are shown in a split-scene illustration of war and resistance.

Iran was already going through one of the most difficult times in its recent history before the war broke out. In January 2026, widespread protests had begun, initially motivated by intense economic dissatisfaction. 

The national currency was still depreciating, inflation had risen to all-time highs, and business owners, particularly those in Tehran's Grand Bazaar, were among the first to openly express their outrage.

From Economic Anger to Political Defiance

What began as economic discontent quickly evolved into a nationwide political movement. Demonstrators shifted from criticizing government policies to openly demanding the end of the Islamic Republic. Chants such as “Death to the Dictator,” directed at Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, echoed across major cities. Some protesters even called for the return of Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of the former Shah, as a possible alternative to the current system.

 

By early February 2026, the unrest had intensified. Students joined the demonstrations, accusing the regime of holding their future “hostage.” Nightly rooftop chants became a symbolic act of civil disobedience. The government responded with force, violent crackdowns, internet shutdowns, and mass arrests, further fueling public resentment. All of this occurred before the U.S.–Israeli military operations and the assassination of Khamenei that later escalated into open conflict.

 

Trump’s Miscalculation: Expecting Iranians to Support Intervention

Amid this internal instability, President Donald Trump viewed Iran as vulnerable. Believing the population was ready to overthrow its leaders, he aligned with Israel to strike Iran, expecting that military pressure would trigger a popular uprising. Trump publicly framed the intervention as an effort to “help the Iranian people achieve the change they have long desired.” But the outcome was the opposite of what he anticipated.

 

Instead of rising against their government, many Iranians reacted with anger toward the foreign attack and the killing of their spiritual leader. Even those who had criticized the regime felt that Iran’s sovereignty had been violated. 

The support for Trump’s actions came mainly from longtime opponents of the Islamic Republic living abroad, including political asylum seekers in the United States, not from the Iranian population inside the country.

 

The Libya Factor: A Warning Etched in Memory

 

A major reason for this unexpected unity was historical memory. Iranians vividly remember what happened to Libya, another oil‑rich nation, after foreign intervention. Muammar Gaddafi’s removal was initially celebrated by some Libyans, but the country soon descended into chaos, civil war, and fragmentation. 

Many Iranians fear that foreign‑engineered regime change would lead to the same fate: instability, foreign exploitation, and the loss of national control over their resources.

 

This comparison resonated deeply. To many Iranians, the attack on their country looked less like a humanitarian mission and more like a geopolitical strategy centered on oil and regional dominance. The lesson from Libya was clear: foreign intervention rarely brings democracy, but it often brings destruction.

 

A Strategy That Backfired

 

The U.S. plan to leverage internal unrest and topple the Iranian government with public support ultimately failed. Instead of weakening the regime, the attack strengthened nationalist sentiment and pushed many Iranians, regardless of political views, to reject Trump’s call for regime change. The expectation that Iranians would welcome foreign involvement proved to be a profound miscalculation.

Moral Lesson: Nations Remember, and History Shapes Resistance

 

The Iranian response shows that people do not easily forget the consequences of past foreign interventions. Libya’s collapse became a cautionary tale, teaching Iranians that external promises of “liberation” can mask deeper strategic interests. When nations witness the suffering of others, they become more determined to protect their own sovereignty, even if they oppose their leaders.

 

The moral lesson is simple: true change must come from within a nation, not from the ambitions of foreign powers. History has shown that when outside forces attempt to impose political outcomes, the result is often instability, resentment, and long‑term suffering. Iranians chose to remember Libya, and that memory reshaped their destiny.

Trump eyes Cuba: A legacy in motion

 

Trump in profile against a faint outline of Cuba, symbolizing shifting policy focus.

 

When Donald Trump declared that “after Iran, Cuba is the next to go down pretty soon,” he revealed far more than a foreign‑policy intention. His words exposed a deeper ambition: the desire to achieve what no American president has ever accomplished. Trump has always positioned himself as a leader who wants to break records, defy precedents, and inscribe his name in the annals of American history.

  

His posture toward Cuba fits neatly into that pattern. It is less about “making America great again” and more about doing what past American leaders failed to do. This ambition is not new. On January 5, 2026, I published an article titled “Fidel Castro: The Man America Couldn’t Capture.” That piece detailed the long, frustrating history of U.S. attempts to subdue Cuba politically, economically, and militarily.

 

From the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 to more than 600 documented assassination attempts on Fidel Castro, the United States invested enormous resources in trying to topple the Cuban Revolution. Yet, despite its global power, Washington never succeeded. Castro died peacefully in his bed, and Cuba remained defiantly independent. Trump’s recent rhetoric suggests he wants to rewrite that chapter.

For him, Cuba represents unfinished business, an unresolved symbol of American limits. By threatening to “bring Cuba down,” Trump is signaling that he intends to accomplish what Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Reagan, and every president after them could not. In his political worldview, conquering Cuba would not simply be a foreign‑policy victory; it would be a personal triumph, a historical milestone that distinguishes him from all his predecessors.

 

To understand the weight of Trump’s statement, one must revisit the long arc of U.S.–Cuba relations. Since 1959, Cuba has been a geopolitical thorn in Washington’s side. It aligned with the Soviet Union during the Cold War, hosted nuclear missiles that nearly triggered World War III, and became a symbol of resistance for oppressed nations worldwide.

 

The U.S. responded with a decades‑long embargo, covert operations, propaganda campaigns, and diplomatic isolation. Yet none of these strategies broke the Cuban government. Even after the Cold War ended, Cuba remained a stubborn outlier. Presidents Clinton and Obama attempted cautious engagement, while others maintained pressure. But no administration ever claimed the ability, or the intention, to “bring Cuba down.”

 

Trump’s language, therefore, marks a dramatic escalation, one that echoes the interventionist mindset of the early 20th century when the U.S. frequently overthrew governments in Latin America. What makes Trump’s posture even more striking is the timing. Cuba today is economically fragile, politically strained, and facing one of its most difficult periods since the 1990s.

 

The island’s shortages, blackouts, and mass emigration have weakened public confidence. For a leader like Trump, who thrives on symbolic victories, Cuba may appear to be a vulnerable target, an opportunity to achieve a historic breakthrough. However, history also teaches that Cuba is not easily subdued. The island has survived invasions, embargoes, and the collapse of its strongest ally, the Soviet Union.

 

Its resilience is woven into its national identity. Any attempt to “bring Cuba down” would likely provoke regional backlash, international condemnation, and unpredictable consequences. Trump’s statement, therefore, raises critical questions about the future of U.S. foreign policy. Is this a genuine strategic plan, or is it another example of Trump’s desire to craft a legacy that overshadows all previous presidents?

 

Is Cuba being targeted because of geopolitical calculations or because it represents a symbolic prize that past leaders failed to capture? What is clear is that Trump’s rhetoric signals a shift from traditional diplomacy toward a more personal, legacy‑driven approach. For him, conquering Cuba would not just be a policy achievement; it would be a historical conquest, a final chapter in a story that began long before he entered politics.

 

As the world watches, one thing is certain: Cuba remains a stage where American presidents test their power, their ideology, and their place in history. Trump now appears determined to write his own chapter, one that could reshape the Caribbean and redefine America’s role in the region. However, the truth is that war can’t make a great leader. If Donald Trump truly wants to be remembered as a great American leader, then pursuing war, especially against a small, struggling nation like Cuba, cannot be the path.

 

History has shown repeatedly that war does not elevate a nation; it drains it. It does not strengthen a leader’s legacy; it stains it, and it does not make a country “great again”; it burdens future generations with trauma, debt, and global resentment. Greatness is not measured by how many countries a president threatens or conquers. It is measured by how many crises he prevents, how many lives he protects, and how many bridges he builds.

 

A leader who seeks greatness through war is not building a legacy; he is building a catastrophe. There are several reasons why war cannot serve as a foundation for greatness: war creates suffering on all sides, and more importantly, America’s greatest presidents are remembered for peace, not destruction.

The White genocide-trick: Does Donald Trump hate to visit Africa?

 

Trump's biggest nightmare as president is to visit Africa

It is not necessary to be a psychologist to understand the thoughts of US President Donald Trump. He selects destinations that are significant to him, but not any African nation. There is no evidence that Donald Trump is afraid to travel to Africa, but I have a few points to make that are not required to persuade readers that Trump despises the continent.  

 

On February 9, 2025, I wrote an article for ModernGhana News titled "Trump has never been to Africa as President; is it something he plans to do in the future?" In the article, I made it clear that Trump has no interest in the Black Continent because of his disparaging remarks about Africa and its leaders and his mention of "Nambia," a country that doesn't exist.

 

Pictures of his sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr., with a leopard and other large game kills from the past are available, but none of Donald Trump's trips to African countries during his first four years in office are. This raised the question, "Does he intend to travel to the Black Continent now that he is back at the White House as the 47th president?"

 

In July 2025, Trump declared, "At some point, I would like to go to Africa, absolutely." Strong problem-solving abilities are a hallmark of an effective leader, who approaches problems methodically and imaginatively to guarantee workable solutions in line with expanded observation. Adversity does not dissuade these leaders.

 

Instead, they stay upbeat and concentrate on finding solutions. In my opinion, Donald Trump should have traveled to South Africa to investigate his claims that the country's white Afrikaner minority is being ruthlessly persecuted by the government, including claims of widespread killings and land confiscations.

 

Instead, Trump chose not to attend the G20 Summit in South Africa based on his unfounded allegation of white genocide. The accusation is completely false, and in my opinion, he deliberately created the issue to prevent himself from visiting Africa, and he was successful in doing so.

 

During his first four years in government, Trump has not visited Africa himself, but his wife, Melania, has. What does this signify? Donald Trump will not visit the African continent until he leaves office. Time will tell, and readers will acknowledge this article.

 

POLITICS AND UPPER CLASS CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY

 

Politicians, health institutions, and rich people are involved in today's crimes against humanity.

Many attribute crimes in society and against humanity to poverty, unemployment, and the lack of education. However, many educated people, including politicians, members of the royal family, upper-class people in society, reputable health institutions, and companies, are behind horrendous crimes against humanity today.

The lifestyle of politicians and members of royal families can be envied. They travel around the world and attend social gatherings. And dress in modern, wealthy outfits, yet many are miserable like a church mouse. 

Some become alcoholic and depressed because they champion false causes under a pretense. They lie about everything, including diseases and biological weapons against humanity.

The status of a politician, member of a royal family, or rich person doesn’t make them special; in fact, history reveals the crimes the United States, Belgium, Holland, France, Germany, and health institutions, such as the World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control, have committed against humanity.

Terrorism is considered a very serious crime by any government. Belgium, the United States of America, and several other countries have people they consider dangerous terrorists behind bars. 

They claim they want to make this world safe, yet it’s shocking if you analyze the crimes the same governments have committed against humanity with impunity, and they think it's appropriate to declare war on those who write the truth.

Wealthy heirs, respected members of royal families, politicians, and successful businessmen act like real criminals, supporting and committing crimes both politically and medically against humanity, while they desperately try to shift the attention of the general public to false causes or origins of those crimes.

I don’t know who to share my grief with; for decades, I haven’t committed any crime in the country where I live. I am just a common African writer not interested in crimes, yet the fears of being exposed have propelled certain social media, politicians, and the Google search engine company to treat me like a criminal because of the truth I write.

You politicians, health institutions, journalists, Google, etc, all of you claim to play a role in fighting crimes against humanity, but why do you oppress me for writing the truth as my part in fighting against crimes in society? It doesn’t make sense. 

You can’t tell the world you are fighting against crime while you suppress information and oppress people who write the truth because you are part of the culprits. That is pure hypocrisy. That’s why today, I don’t have respect for any politician or Google because they are all criminals. 

There are too many crimes today, but the disturbing part is that the politicians, rich people, and health institutions are involved. 

They kill innocent people with biological weapons of AIDS and Ebola, yet you try to force people to believe that primates, bats, poverty, bushmeat, etc., are responsible. 

Google now controls what I write by either reducing our blogs' visibility in search engines or blocking the access of our readers on social media to reach what we write. This is a crime, but the management considers it normal.

The punishment for your lies, deception, and crimes is the result of the coronavirus today. Many were hoping Africa would not be spared by the coronavirus, but not this time. 

Africa has suffered enough from deliberate disease infections, including Aids, nodding disease, and Ebola; therefore, God says enough is enough.

Those harassing me, trying to bury our blogs, reducing the visibility of our blogs in search engines, and diverting our articles to 404 errors because of the truth must continue to do so. Whatever goes around, comes around. When their time comes, we shall read about their disgrace as it unfolds.

You can be rich, but you will never be happy because you are causing suffering to others that they don’t deserve. 

Once you know of the crimes that politicians, the upper class, health institutions, and companies commit, it's really difficult to have respect for them. That's why today, I have lost respect for Google. Website owners can worship the search engine company; I will worship God. 

Nobody can oppress me, force me to join a gang of wolves in sheep’s clothing, or stop me from writing about your clandestine crimes against humanity because my glory resides in the truth.

The US government's bad policies have brought untold hardships to humanity

 

Joe Biden must review America's dangerous policies that remain a threat to humanity

If world leaders are very sincere, then it makes sense to hold the US government accountable for the hostile impact of the coronavirus on humanity today. The whole world is suffering today because of the arrogance and foolish pride of America.

 

As of now, the coronavirus has killed over two million people (2,931,073) and has infected over one hundred and thirty-five million people (135,399,434) worldwide.

 

Access to the truth has been denied in everything, including politics, because the US government is neither ready to repent nor to submit to its clandestine crimes.

 

And since the developed world wants to maintain a good relationship with the US government, governments have followed, aided, supported, and abetted the US government’s bad policies to our injury.

 

COVID-19, which has ferociously hit the world today, is the consequence of previous medical crimes of biological weapons by the US government.

 

The fact that the developed world enjoys watching biological weapons decimate Africa for the benefit of their economies—for decades they all followed and defended the US government’s lies and deceptions about clandestine biological programs in the third world.

 

Under the umbrella of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the US government deliberately triggered the biological weapons into the innocent population, targeting a particular race, Black people.

 

If one accuses the US government of trying to wipe out the Black race, they say it’s not true, yet there are several pieces of evidence about these clandestine plots against humanity, especially Black people.

 

Above all, if you ask WHO and the CDC why HIV and AIDS have killed more Black people in America and Africa than any other race, they don’t have a specific answer to this question?

 

Apart from malaria, which has been the only devastating disease on the continent of Africa, diseases such as HIV, AIDS, Ebola, Burkitt’s lymphoma, Kaposi’s sarcoma, nodding disease, etc., were all man-made.

 

The World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control have broken the health rules by providing false health information on their websites, and these are often ranked high by search engine companies. It's a shame that people on the path of truth are psychologically tortured daily.

 

Deceptive scientists call the Nodding Syndrome a strange disease; there is nothing strange associated with that—it is a pure biological weapon. Above all, monkeys, primates, bushmeat, bats, etc., have nothing to do with HIV, AIDS, and Ebola. All are biological weapons.

 

The lies and deceptions of the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control make this world a very dangerous place to live. How long shall this go on? In fact, the US government's bad policies have brought more untold hardships than good to humanity.

 

With one voice, we need to shout it loud and clear to the US government that enough is enough; they must put their clandestine policies somewhere to bring sanity, peace, and good health to humanity.

 

The world doesn’t need any more biological weapons after HIV, AIDS, Ebola, and the coronavirus. The authorities can declare war on writers that live by the truth, but the truth will always be there to expose them.

Kwame Nkrumah: The unparalleled nationalist among Ghanaian leaders

Dr Kwame Nkrumah, the most feared Ghanaian leader by Western Europe and the US governments

In Ghana, you can be a president, but not all Ghanaian leaders have equal wisdom. Some leaders used their intelligence to make Ghana a great nation, while others brought untold hardship and suffering to the common people. 

Jesus once said, "A prophet is not without honour except in his own town and in his own home." 

 

That is true; Kwame Nkrumah might be considered a hero at his birthplace, Nkroful, but his achievements as one of Ghana’s greatest political figures have caused jealousy among an empire of deceitful politicians who have tried to taint the works of this great man.

 

In the political history of Ghana, there hasn't been any Ghanaian leader who is loyal to his country and the entire African continent at the same time, like the former nationalist Dr Kwame Nkrumah.

 

Even though some Ghanaians might have been inspired by Nkrumah’s ideologies and philosophy, they still lacked the heroism that made Kwame Nkrumah the kind of leader feared most by the governments of Western Europe and the United States of America.

 

Whereas today, there hasn't been any Ghanaian or African leader to question the colonial masters and the US government about the strange diseases, such as HIV, AIDS, tuberculosis, Burkitt's lymphoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, Lassa fever, and Ebola (apart from malaria), that suddenly or miraculously appeared on the continent of Africa. Nkrumah spoke against these issues to protect the continent because he knew what the foreign powers could do.

 

Since Kwame Nkrumah wasn’t ready to let Africa suffer after independence, he became a stumbling block on the paths of the governments of Western Europe and the United States of America because of their diabolical, clandestine agenda to take possession of Africa’s rich resources.

 

With the collaboration of America's CIA, the Nkrumah regime was overthrown. Years later, apart from malaria, many diseases came to the continent of Africa, causing a major setback to the development of the continent.

 

Today, African leaders accept money from foreign governments to support HIV/AIDS and Ebola projects in Africa, instead of rejecting it because all the money ends up in their pockets.

 

Western European and American leaders do bad things politically and economically to Africa, yet they don't want any nation on earth to do the same thing against them. After that, they turn on African leaders to call them ‘corrupt,’ and the African continent a 'shithole'. 

 

How do you expect Ghana or any African country to progress when African leaders kowtow in front of foreign leaders after committing horrible crimes in Africa and exchange the souls of their dead citizens killed by biological weapons for money?

 

History has repeated itself with a new biological weapon called coronavirus. Even though, as usual, Africa is not responsible for any biological weapon, COVID-19 is gradually bringing Africa's ailing economy to a halt. 

 

Already, it has been reported that the money given to support the coronavirus project in Ghana is completely exhausted. (Sika nu ashi, asah.) Within the shortest period, the money was given to Ghana; nobody knows what exactly it was used for. 

 

Even though there is no Ghanaian or African leader prepared to die or face any harsh treatment from foreign governments, to this day, many Ghanaians hate Kwame Nkrumah. However, the truth is that if many African leaders were brave and powerful enough, like Nkrumah, Africa would not end up in such a disaster, despite the continent’s rich resources.

 

I can still hear the “Voice From Afar” of Kwame Nkrumah, a tribute to K. B. Asante, speaking, warning, and reminding Ghanaians and other African leaders with these powerful words.

 

“Even the cinema stories of fabulous Hollywood are loaded. One has only to listen to the cheers of an African audience as Hollywood’s heroes slaughter red Indians or Asiatics to understand the effectiveness of this weapon. For in the developing continents, where the colonialist heritage has left a vast majority still illiterate, even the smallest child gets the message contained in the blood and thunder stories emanating from California.”

 

“And along with murder and the Wild West goes an incessant barrage of anti-socialist propaganda, in which the trade union man, the revolutionary, or the man of dark skin is generally cast as the villain, while the policeman, the gumshoe, and the federal agent—in a word, the CIA-type spy—is ever the hero.”

 

“Here, truly, is the ideological underbelly of those political murders that so often use local people as their instruments. While Hollywood takes care of fiction, the enormous monopoly press, together with the outflow of slick, clever, expensive magazines, attends to what it chooses to call ‘news.”

 

“Within separate countries, one or two news agencies control the news handouts so that a deadly uniformity is achieved, regardless of the number of separate newspapers or magazines; while internationally, the financial preponderance of the United States is felt more and more through its foreign correspondents and offices abroad, as well as through its influence over international capitalist journalism.”

 

“Under this guise, a flood of anti-liberation propaganda emanates from the capital cities of the West, directed against China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Algeria, Ghana, and all countries that hack out their own independent path to freedom. Prejudice is rife. For example, wherever there is armed struggle against the forces of reaction, the nationalists are referred to as rebels, terrorists, or frequently ‘communist terrorists' ― Kwame Nkrumah.

 

He that has ears, let him hear. Ghana, or the entire African continent, needs strong and powerful leaders, like Nkrumah, to feed, educate, provide jobs, improve the health sectors in the country, and protect the continent from foreign subversive activities affecting the development of the continent.

 

If African leaders are not prepared to stand and fight for their country, the continent of Africa will always remain a 'shithole', with poor economies, malnourished children, and diseases, while Europe and America capitalise on our resources to build their economies much stronger.

How can the Belgian government explain Its association with a man like Bill Gates?

 

Right, the former Belgian Prime Minister, Charles Michel, receives Bill Gates in Brussels.

The crimes of Bill Gates are well tolerated by almost all the advanced countries in Europe and the United States of America because citizens of third-world countries are the victims. The truth can be swept under the carpet, but the hump will reveal it. Like Bill Gates, the Belgian government committed so many crimes both physically and medically in Congo; therefore, why should it surprise anyone if Bill Gates comes to Belgium?

 

The Disappearance Of The Truth In Politics And Medical Science

The world has to pay for the lies and deceptions in the fields of politics and medical science today

The establishing of peace, security, and the protection of people depend on politics, while medical science which encompasses treatment is very important for health. Unfortunately, both two subjects have deviated from the path of truth to lies and deceptions.

"The truth is not a commodity sold in the shop but only a few people can afford it." In today's world, the truth doesn't matter any longer in anything, including politics, science, and health matters. Simple truth, they say but is the truth really simple?

The Bible says, "From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence, and violent people have been raiding it." The same violent people are fighting against the truth to establish lies and violence in our societies.

Throughout the period of the Old Testament to the New Testament, all the good people, including Jesus Christ, that chose the path of the truth, suffered dearly for it because the truth is like an arrow that pierces through the flesh of evildoers.

The truth burns so hot like acid, so many are afraid of it. The truth doesn't give an award, it will rather make you a public enemy number one. The truth will let you lose all your good friends you thought they love you and the truth may likely push you to commit suicide.

Once the Dutch microsurgeon and former professor at the University of Maastricht, Johan van Dongen, whose books about Aids and Ebola exposed the US government's biological weapons programs, told me that: 

"He and Ab Osterhaus, one of Dutch famous virologists, were very close, yet when he was making comments about his books, he said, "About Aids and Ebola biological weapons, he (Osterhaus) doesn't know what Dongen is talking about."

That is life and that is how your own close friends can stab you at the back if you choose to speak the truth. 

Why this article by the way? This is to inspire everyone who has suffered for speaking the truth to continue to suffer for it instead of giving up because there is always an invincible doom awaiting those that have poisoned this world, leading innocent people to their untimely death.

People are no longer interested in the truth because they don't want to lose their jobs, friends, or become subjects of hate. But what they often forget when the catastrophe strikes both the liars and the truthful people suffer at the same time and very often the liars are those that find it too tough to handle.

Politicians have followed their evil desires and policies to kill innocent people in the United States of America and around the globe, with the coronavirus, yet this is what they don't want to hear. 

Joe Biden claims that the light is stronger than the dark, yet, for decades, he has fought the truth to coverup the US government's Aids and Ebola biological weapon crimes in Africa. Hypocrite!

“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”

THE REAL PANDEMIC IN GHANA IS NEPOTISM

Nepotism and tribalism pandemics are destroying Ghana than the coronavirus

In recent decades, Africa has firmly established itself as a continent prone to tribalism and nepotism in all fields. These viruses that create strong family ties and embezzlement of national wealth have sharply increased in Ghanaian politics, leading to the suffering of the common people.

 

The widespread nepotism and tribalism in Ghanaian politics today, are affecting the country's political and economic infrastructures because not every relative appointed to take a particular post is efficient and in such a situation, the president will remain silent to avoid gossips or disgrace.

This is one of the reasons despite the free education which the NPP government introduced since coming to power, Ghana is stagnant, there are no developments in other sectors. There is no employment and the depressive economy has created an unfriendly marketing environment.

Ghanaians are indeed suffering but NPP supporters and politicians find it very hard to accept this fact because of the corruptible scandals which pushed John Mahama out of office. Yet, what sensible Ghanaians have failed to discuss is when Mahama was power, Ghana wasn't in the second position as the most corrupt country in the world.

Another serious pandemic in Ghana is hate towards journalists and writers. It is an abomination to write about what is going bad in Nana Akufo Addo's government. Section of the public will either insult you or accuse you of being an NDC member. 

What has Ghanaian politics offered me to join a political party in Ghana, when in Europe that things are better, I am not affiliated with any political party? I am forced to vote because I am not ready to pay the fine that will follow if I fail to vote., other than that I will not waste my time to go out and vote.

I can't confirm the truth but according to an article dated November 6, 2019,  on 'Ghanaweb,' 51 relatives of Akufo Addo are in his government. If this is true, then it's more serious than a pandemic because this can hinder the growth of the country drastically.

The unification of Akufo Addo's family in Ghanaian politics, giving rise to nepotism, tribalism, and corruption in his government, is affecting Ghanaians because many of them are not qualified to keep an office and if qualified, they lack skills and efficiency.

If Akufo Addo's relatives in his government are efficient, Ghana wouldn't be in this hopeless situation under such an elephant size ministers, who are just draining and wasting the hard-earned resources of the country. 

I have said this before that Akufo Addo will still win the forthcoming elections, therefore, Ghanaians must be prepared to pass through another waterless wilderness for four years. 

After 30 years in Europe, I am now confused if it's better to die in Ghana or Europe at old age because Ghana is in an extremely bad position. Any common Ghanaian that says the current political or economic situation is good, might be enjoying extra funds from the government coffers. Life in Ghana is harder than rock.

Nepotism in Ghanaian politics is collapsing the country, as well as an impediment to progress, the government must find a remedy to tackle this political pandemic like that of coronavirus in the country.

Why Joe Biden Needs To Call Every American President A Racist Before Trump

Biden accuses Trump of racism, an issue he couldn't solve in his entire life in America until changes after the murder of George Floyd

It's now on air, television and in the newspapers, Joe Biden accusing Donald Trump, a racist American president, promoting racism in the United States of America. 

According to Joe Biden, the kind of Trump as president has never been realized in the political history of America, saying Trump lacks leadership skills to handle the coronavirus crisis in America. 

Politics is said to be a dirty game but I think people will not dispute the fact that it is also full of hate, hypocrisy, lies, and deceptions. 

I don't care who is the president of the United States of America, since every American president, whether Democrat or Republican, commits a crime in Africa.

Today, Joe Biden who wants to kick Trump out of the office and become the next American president is calling Donald Trump a racist. 

Institutional racism has been in America decades after the abolition of slavery, yet no American leader I know, including Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Obama, etc, did anything significant about it to change the situation in America.

Related post:  RACISM IS PART OF AMERICA'S CONSTITUTION

Obama was the 44th president of America and Joe Biden was the vice-president. For eight years what did Obama and Biden do to improve the systematic abuse and oppression of African-Americans, until the brutal murder of George? 

Why is Joe Biden now using George Floyd's death for a political campaign against Trump? Would he call Trump a racist if George Floyd hadn't been killed? This is what I mean by the hypocrisy of politics.

There are so many records revealing the systematic killings of African-Americans by white police officers. 

According to an old publication that appeared in the 'Washington Examiner,' on October 1, 2016, "Murder far worse for blacks under Obama."

The paper explained further that, "Donald Trump's pitch for black votes is that the condition of African-Americans is terrible decades after being failed by Democratic policies." 

The problem with Americans is, they don't care whether the US government commits a crime in Africa or not. They only analyzed the political issues in the country and decide who to vote for.

However, being an African writer, from a continent that has suffered a great deal at the hands of foreign governments, including the United States of America, I consider Joe Biden a hypocrite since he failed to call other American presidents Racists before Trump.

And I strongly believe that true Americans will never vote for Joe Biden because he is a hypocrite.

THE CHLOROQUINE CONTROVERSY, WHO IS DR. DIDIER RAOULT?

Dr. Didier Raoult

Dr. Didier Raoult is the director of the Institut Hospitalo-Universitaire Méditerranée Infection in Marseille - Aix-Marseille University. He is in the first position among European researchers whose publications have been most cited by the international scientific community in the field of Infectious Diseases. 

This ranking was established in February 2017 based on the analysis of the number of citations of publications published in scientifically recognized Microbiology journals during a period of 7 years between 2007 and 2013. 

 

Professor Raoult published 636 articles between 2007 and 2013, and these articles were cited 18,128 times by scientists from the international community. This list was compiled from the Clarivate Analytics database, formerly Thomson Reuters.

 

On the other hand, Professor Didier Raoult, as well as four other researchers attached to the IHU Mediterranean Infection, appear on the list of researchers most cited by the international scientific community published by Clarivate Analytics - Highly Cited Researcher list. 

Epidemic and spread of diseases

 

Whenever there is an epidemic, the true story about it or its origin is always suppressed. What matters most to world leaders is to find vaccines to fight the disease. 

 

At times, there is already a vaccine for the disease, but the authorities may not make that information public to avoid the accusation that they are responsible for the disease, the reason they have already made vaccines to contain the disease.

 

This was the case about the Ebola biological weapon, which was triggered in the West African countries of Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leonefor in 2014, under the administration of Barack Obama.

 

 

The US government, the World Health Organization, and the Centers for Disease Control claimed bats were responsible for the spread of the disease, yet many had no idea that the US government had already made an Ebola vaccine ready called "EboBun." It's patent No. CA2741523A1, which was awarded in 2010. 

 

Did the US government have a dream about Ebola to make that vaccine? Not at all, they were aware that in 2014, they were going to test Ebola biological weapons in those West African countries of Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia, and Congo simultaneously, which is why they made that vaccine.

The Coronavirus or COVID-19

 

About the Coronavirus, all that we were told is that it started from a place called Wuhan in China. Since then, the virus has infected thousands of people around the globe and claimed its victims with a destructive impact, health workers are making it difficult to control.

The coronavirus is now in Africa, but the impact is not as disastrous as that of the United States of America and some European countries. The disease has affected thousands of Americans and killed over 65,000 people worldwide, while it continues to take its toll on Belgium, Spain, Italy, and any European country.

 

It seems there is no vaccine for the coronavirus yet because it ignited like a bush fire without any warning, but the fact we can’t ignore is that during an epidemic without any immediate vaccine to tackle the disease, European and American pharmaceutical companies are always interested in using Africans as Guinea pigs to test drugs. 

 

From the time of slavery, colonization, and the Apartheid era, till now, Europe and America have clandestinely used Africans as guinea pigs to test drugs. This is what Dr. Didier Raoult wants to avoid after the outbreak of the coronavirus or COVID-19.

 

In early February, Dr. Raoult believed that this disease, which is now the subject of a pandemic, defended the use of chloroquine to counter it. Indeed, this molecule, used for 75 years against malaria, could, according to him, overcome the coronavirus.

 

And it is not the exponential evolution of this virus that made the scientist change his mind. He has treated 24 of his patients with hydroxychloroquine. After six days, Didier Raoult had obtained good results, since 75% of them had a negative viral load, that is to say, the virus disappeared, and the patients were no longer contagious.

 

 

For comparison, 90% of patients treated without chloroquine, in Nice and Avignon, would still be contagious after the same number of days.

Support from Donald Trump

 

The scientist was also supported by Donald Trump, who praised the use of chloroquine to treat coronavirus, following trials in France and China: "We will be able to make this drug available almost immediately. It's very exciting. I think it could be a game-changer or maybe not, but from what I've seen, it could be," he said.

 

In a world where greed, selfishness, power, and politics dominate and corrupt governments, world leaders, including the US and the Chinese governments, want to make their vaccines ready for the market against the coronavirus.

 

Without any trial, this could prove fatal; therefore, the need for a trial is necessary. However, since new medications and vaccines easily find their way to African markets without much difficulty, Bill Gates has an intention to test a new coronavirus vaccine in Africa.

 

Corruption in Africa has allowed such dangerous vaccines to be available on African markets because the leaders care more about the money that those millionaires and big pharmaceutical companies offer them than the health of the poor masses. 

  

This is what Dr. Didier Raoult wants to avoid, but already he has become an enemy because it’s always easier for the ignorant to believe in lies than the truth. Raoult and his team have now decided to give hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin to all infected patients. 

 

"We also decided, for all the febrile patients who come to consult us, to practice the tests for the diagnosis of infection with COVID-19," one specified on the side of the institute, which did not fail to create queues in front of the establishment from Monday morning.

 

"I don't care what other people think. I am not an outsider; I am the one who is the most ahead. In my world, I am a world star; I am not at all against the tide. I do science, not politics. Infectious diseases are not very complicated; they are diagnosed and treated, said Dr. Didier Raoult in the columns of La Provence .”

Mahama must learn the reasons Akufo-Addo opposes his return to the presidency

Akufo-Addo before and after becoming president

The social network or the media is a wonderful place that allows you to connect directly with your audience, and also an opportunity to see some old photographs of current African leaders to convey your thoughts and feelings about them. 

We've all heard this kind of phrase: "A picture is worth a thousand words." Indeed, this old photograph of the Ghanaian leader, Nana Akufo-Addo, has more than one thousand stories to tell. 

The old picture of our president demonstrates a sad countenance, unhappiness, weariness, and like a man who has neither hope for today nor tomorrow of becoming a president.

Then, after tough moments, Akufo-Addo won the 2016 elections to be the president of Ghana, and as we know, those who suffer to get something will never let it go. Nana Akufo-Addo has now shown Ghanaians that money is power.

We see this force and feel it sometimes when leaders use it as a weapon of oppression from time to time, but do we understand what the power of money is? Comparing the two photographs of Akufo-Addo above will give you the right answer. 

To understand what the power of money is, you need to pay attention to how people behave with it. Money tells a person what to do. It gives one the power and opportunity to do whatever he likes, whether good or bad; some don't care.

This is one of the reasons after becoming president, the sweet taste of power has enabled Akufo-Addo to adapt many lifestyles, a little dictatorship, democracy, and nepotism, to build a solid wall around him.

Akufo-Addo has failed in his fight against corruption and has also failed to investigate any of his ministers involved in corruption scandals. Just last week, it appeared in the Ghanaian media that 500 seized excavators had mysteriously vanished without a trace.

As the Ghanaian leader, Nana Akufo-Addo Addo should have shown a little concern to find a way to trace the missing excavators, but he didn't do that. 

However, as soon as it appeared that the opposition leader, John Mahama, was linked to the Airbus scandal, the president quickly assigned the Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu, to investigate.

How can Ghana be a successful country this such unprofessional conduct? Anyone who talks about Akufo-Addo immediately becomes an enemy. 

It seems Ghanaian journalists are even afraid to criticize Akufo-Addo's administration, ever since Mr. Ahmed Hussein-Suale was killed. Everyone is quiet in Ghana and will not dare to criticize or demand answers from Akufo-Addo.

And if you dare to say something wrong or write an article about Akufo-Addo that people are not happy about, instantly, you become an enemy, with insults coming from all directions.

But in this world, who cares if someone hates or likes me? After all, the world went free, and Christ, who didn't commit any crime, was left alone to carry the cross to face crucifixion.

Sometimes, I feel very sorry for Mahama. Corruption is in each administration of every Ghanaian leader, but it seems his involvement is the only one that has overflowed its banks that his enemies can see.

You will only miss your water when the well runs dry, Mahama. It's never an easy task to get power back if you lose it; therefore, you must understand why Akufo-Addo will not permit you to be president, probably again.

Because he has built both visible and invisible walls around him.  The promotion of the police, army, and immigration is one of the strongest foundations a leader needs; therefore, Akufo-Addo has done that.

Together with your enemies, John Mahama, you may probably have no chance to win the 2020 elections, but who knows what might change the course because there are still months ahead of us.

So Akufo Addo, Where Is The Fight Against Corruption If The Country Is 3rd In The World?

  

The Ghanaian leader, Nana Akufo Addo

Ghana is a corrupt country in everything, including the judiciary system and politics; therefore, politicians are restless because they know what happens during elections since there are never free and fair elections in Africa, including Ghana.  

A US News report has identified Ghana as the third most corrupt country in the world. Reference: https://bit.ly/38cZ4QO

According to its 2020 ranking, a characterization of 73 countries based on a survey of more than 20,000 citizens of the world and apart from Ghana which occupies the 3rd place, the classification also implies Kenya which comes in 8th position of the most corrupt countries in the world. 

Others are Columbia and Mexico, known for its deadly drug cartels. Myanmar, Guatemala, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, and Bolivia are also in the top 10. Russia, which has been accused of electoral interference and Olympic doping, joined the top 10 this year after ranking number 12 in 2019.

In the report, respondents indicated how closely they relate each country to the term corrupt, the exact meaning of which was left to their own interpretation. 

Transparency International, the German-based non-governmental organization defines corruption as the abuse of public power for private gain. The organization's most recent version of its corruption perception index also indicates that the failure to significantly control corruption is escalating a global democracy crisis.

Corruption in Ghana is at its highest peak because it takes place daily, however, it increases significantly when getting close to elections. This one of the reasons there is always political instability in Ghana, since the suffering masses, including the unemployed outraged over the impact of corruption in the country.

The fight against corruption in Ghana’s administration was one of President Nana Addo-Akufo's major priorities but what has he done today? “You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.”- Abraham Lincoln.

I write without inventing my own words but based on the references of what Akufo Addo himself said. On corruption, during a ceremony at the Flagstaff House (That’s what I know it is called), Nana Akufo Addo said: “While corruption is a thorny issue that permeates every fabric of Ghanaian society, especially the public sector, he believes that it is one of the worst scourges that oppose the development of Ghana.”

Then when the president failed the fight against corruption, including his failure to solving chronic corruption among the members of the NPP, frustrated and embarrassed Akufo Addo, shamefully said, "it is not his job to accuse the innocent or convict officials who engage in corruption."

According to President Akufo Addo, "all cases of corruption in his government will follow due process to determine whether the officials involved are guilty or not." Oh yes, Nana Akufo Addo, this is one of the reasons you appointed the Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu to do that job.

Yet, you were so scared that he will bring out corrupt NPP officials, which will affect the party’s future in elections, therefore, you sat on the neck of the man to prevent him to do his job. If the common Ghanaians you starved at home can’t see, the honest Ghanaians living outside the country know about your ‘Politricks.’

In fact, Akufo Addo, all those attacking me for speaking the truth or any time I write an article about you are wasting their time, since the articles are based on what you say but never did or about your failures. Once provoked, I get the message to repeat similar articles because the truth is bitter than the bile. 

It's also necessary to add to this article that, in reality, you often see many deleted comments under my articles, only one or two are genuine, the rest of the names are from one person. 

Akufo Addo appoints Martin Amidu, the Special Prosecutor, to coverup his corruptible deals

Yes, I mean a frustrated angry, tribalistic enemy full of hate, who wants everyone to believe that the article I wrote has generated 10 negative comments but the fact is the different names are from only one person. I believe intelligent Ghanaians know that too.

There is a time for everything, Mr. President, my only fear is before Ghanaians will realize how bad you are as a leader or how corrupt both NDC and NPP political parties are, then it’s too late. 

Nothing can bring a change to the doomed economy of Ghana because of the impact of continuous abuse of power and corruption which has destroyed the economy beyond remedy.
