I GIVE GOOGLE, OR BELGIUM JUST ONE DAY TO RESTORE MY BLOG

Google has collaborated with the Belgian government and is manipulating my blog to cover up their crimes. 

I am giving Google or Belgium just one day to restore all the manipulations I have discovered on my blog. After tomorrow, if my blog is not fixed like it was before, I will publish all the findings of what I have discovered on my blog. 

This abuse of power can't be accepted. Since you don't have respect for me, I will also not have respect for you. There are times we need to put Christianity aside and go deep for our voodoo to destroy dark forces; that's the only way to win this war. 

I have said over and over that the Belgian government and GOOGLE have no respect for Black people. I will not beg anyone to respect me, but I know what I am working on, which will destroy those forces.

I have nothing to lose; once again, I am repeating, GOOGLE must restore my blog immediately. What kind of nonsense is this? What crime have I committed to deserve this abuse of authority with impunity?  

My blog is quick and responsive because I regularly compress the HTML to reduce the weight of the CSS and JavaScript to pass the Google speed test. For example, the GT Metrix speed test results for my blog are 98% on desktop and 92% on mobile.

Among other things, my blog was purposefully modified by Google and the Belgian government to fail the Google speed test. They have made the blog slow so that when a visitor clicks on it, they will leave since they don't have time to wait.

 

Yesterday, I saw that it was 46% on desktop and 42% on mobile. This is what a business that has been imposing regulations on its clients and users for years is doing. The planet is confronted with the greatest hidden dangers.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN READERS

Belgium needs to explain why Leopold's statue is still standing when Hitler didn't have any

 

The statue of Leopold II, in honor of killing over 10 million Africans in Congo

"Why should a statue be built for King Leopold II after he slaughtered ten million Africans in the Congo if there isn't one for Adolf Hitler, who killed six million Jews?" Joel Savage is curious. Particularly about King Leopold II of Belgium, the subject draws attention to a notable discrepancy in how past leaders and governments accountable for mass atrocities are honoring and celebrating their crimes in contemporary times.

 

Following World War II, the German government renamed streets and squares that bore Adolf Hitler's name as part of the denazification process. The goal of this endeavor was to demolish the Nazi regime's propaganda and emblems, which had methodically captured public areas in honor of Hitler and other Nazi leaders as soon as they came to power in 1933. People are deeply troubled by Hitler's murder of more than six million Jews.

 

Other reasons for renaming were to disassociate the nation from the philosophy and horrors of the Nazi era, as well as to eliminate the personality cult that surrounded Hitler. More significantly, the changes were implemented by the German government because it regarded humanity. Therefore, Belgium needs to explain to the world why there is a statue for someone who killed ten million Africans. This illustrates the country’s complicated colonial heritage.

 

On the other hand, from 1885 until 1908, King Leopold II of Belgium ruled the Congo Free State as a personal colony. He was responsible for a brutal regime that exploited the area for rubber and ivory through severe violence and forced labor. Malnutrition, disease, forced labor, and mutilation, including the widespread amputation of hands as a punishment for failing to reach rubber quotas, are estimated to have killed between 10 and 20 million Africans.

 

Leopold II was never held accountable for his crimes, in spite of this. When international outrage grew, he was forced to relinquish control of the Congo to the Belgian government in 1908, but he remained a respected monarch in Belgium until he died in 1909.  The US and Western Europe denounced the atrocities of Hitler but not Leopold II, because the victims were Black Africans, but Hitler targeted white Europeans.

 

More importantly, Western historical narratives have often downplayed or ignored slavery, apartheid, and colonial crimes due to deep-seated racism. The Nuremberg Trials ensured that Nazi crimes were publicly confronted, whereas colonial atrocities were largely suppressed or minimized by European powers. Despite the public awareness of Leopold II and protests calling for the removal of statues and the renaming of public spaces, the Belgian government and the royal family have refused to act.

 

Throughout Belgium, there are memorials commemorating the violent history of the insane monarch and streets bearing his name. Remarkably, the Belgian government is not threatened by these street names and pictures of sculptures. However, because I am an African writer residing in Belgium, the Belgian government considers my pieces to be dangerous. As a result, they have been working with Google to continuously undermine my site, "Juskosave's Ghana," for years.

 

For instance, the majority of my writings criticizing the Belgian government and the royal family for encouraging criminal activity have been taken from search engines, and several of my article URLs have been changed to 404 errors. My blog used to receive up to 10,000 daily readers because of its excellent content. Today, 100 reads have been registered as a result of the blog's visibility being reduced and users' access being denied.

 

This callous act against humanity committed by the Belgian government compelled me to visit the Stuivenberg Hospital to look into the peculiar circumstances surrounding the deaths of Africans receiving treatment there. After my investigations, I discovered that despite the hospital's improvements, foreigners were still afraid to visit. The hospital has been closed down permanently since 2023.

https://www.modernghana.com/news/846760/my-name-is-joel-savage-why-i-am-the-most-hated-journalist-i.html

I would not have understood that American and European media are paid to disseminate misleading information about man-made diseases against the African continent if I hadn't been in Europe. In 2008, activist Théophile de Giraud painted a statue of Leopold II in Brussels crimson, arguing that Belgium needs to exhibit self-criticism similar to what Russia and Germany did with Hitler and Stalin.

 

Since its reopening in 2018, the Royal Museum of Africa in Tervuren has amassed over 180,000 objects from the Congo, many of which were taken during Leopold's reign. Despite Leopold II's involvement in the deaths of an estimated 10 to 20 million Africans, the existence of sculptures honoring him reflects a historical heritage that has often praised colonial leaders while concealing the full extent of their atrocities.

 

As I have repeatedly stated, the African continent will not beg the Belgian government to demolish Leopold's crime-supporting statues or to show respect for Africans. Those statues will be taken down either before or after I pass away, once Belgium's economy starts to decline and its relationship with the Black Continent has waned. We saw it happen today in France, after its former colonies, including Burkina Faso, cut ties with its former colonial master.

 

I will remind Belgium of one of the quotes of the president they murdered, Patrice Lumumba: “The day will come when history will speak. But it will not be the history that will be taught in Brussels, Paris, Washington, or the United Nations. It will be the history that is taught in countries that have won freedom from colonialism and its puppet regimes. Africa will write its own history, and in both north and south it will be a history of glory and dignity.”

Suppressing a writer doesn’t solve committed crimes

 

The head of John the Baptist on a silver platter because of the truth: That's the right way I want to die as a writer

Suppressing a writer might impede justice and responsibility while failing to address the root causes of crimes. Writing on crimes perpetrated by governments or institutions often serves as a tool for rehabilitation, public awareness, and systemic critique. If the authorities are intelligent enough, then they should do something about it.

 

I am a successful writer and blogger with thousands of followers worldwide because I don't fabricate articles to hide medical crimes. People are tired of governmental misdeeds but lack the power to challenge any government; therefore, they search for the right articles to make better living choices.

 

When no one is pursuing you, why are you fleeing? Any nation is threatened by the construction of a statue honoring a ruler who massacred Africans. The threat is not the author who writes about these atrocities. Therefore, I'll keep fighting against the injustice that those who can't tolerate, yet abuse their position of authority to inflict upon others.

 

They claim that education is the key to success, but I don't think so because there are many illiterates more intelligent than the educated. If education is the key, then many colleges in the world have graduated professional criminals in governments and institutions who torture innocent people because of the truth.

 

Attempts to suppress me and my publications have shown the authorities' fear of me, which both amplifies my importance and makes it evident to the world. Why should they be afraid of a common African writer? It is based on two reasons: first, since my writings are factual, and second, because they know they have committed those crimes.

 

However, I am a man since I don’t fear anyone except God, because that spirit is invincible; the more you suppress me, the more I will write. There will be a time when every effort by governments and institutions to remove my articles from the web will be abortive. 

They can easily remove articles from my blog or manipulate the URLs, but they can’t go to other platforms where I have been publishing my articles about their crimes against me with impunity.

Suppression of voices, especially writers, is an injustice that I will keep writing about unabated. I prefer to die a courageous man like John the Baptist, not a coward. 

Therefore, I am prepared to battle those evil forces with my pen and the Bible until God calls me to my tomb. Before or after my death, those dark forces will be fully aware of the extent of damage they have caused to themselves, governments, and their institutions.

How technology is enabling drones to coordinate complex missions

 

The use of drones in farming has changed the agricultural landscape worldwide. Photo credit: zettafarms.com

A drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or unmanned aircraft system (UAS), defined as a powered, aerial vehicle that does not carry a human operator, uses aerodynamic forces for lift, and can fly autonomously or be piloted remotely.  It is commonly controlled from the ground via a remote control or software-driven flight plans.

 

Drones can operate with varying levels of autonomy, ranging from fully autonomous navigation utilizing GPS, sensors, and artificial intelligence to completely remote piloting. From tiny leisure models to massive military systems, they can be categorized by size, weight, power source, and flight type.

 

They are employed in many different fields, such as military reconnaissance, delivery services, agriculture, aerial photography, surveillance, and search and rescue. Our everyday lives now revolve around modern technologies. They enable us to acquire new information and experiences, expedite and simplify repetitive chores, and facilitate both work and relaxation.

 

However, in addition to their clear advantages, technologies can be applied in novel ways that greatly enhance our quality of life. Although they resemble flying item toys, drones are capable of unimaginable tasks that should not be undervalued. They are significant due to their adaptability and revolutionary influence across various industries.

 

They provide quick aerial observations to evaluate the health of animals, trace migration routes, and stop poaching, making them an economical and effective substitute for tracking wildlife and safeguarding natural habitats. Drones with cameras can access challenging or hazardous areas, gather high-resolution data, and increase productivity, safety, and cost-effectiveness in a variety of tasks because of their autonomous or remote control capabilities.

 

An overview of drones' roles in other fields

Agriculture: By monitoring crop health, precisely applying fertilizers and pesticides, managing irrigation, and evaluating agricultural damage for insurance claims, drones can increase yields while using fewer chemicals.

 

Construction and Infrastructure: They carry out site mapping, progress tracking, 3D modeling, and building, bridge, and power line inspections. By limiting the need for manual inspections in dangerous locations, they improve worker safety and cut down on surveying time.

 

Delivery and Logistics: Last-mile delivery of products, packages, and even medical supplies is made possible by drones. This is especially advantageous in isolated or difficult-to-reach locations, as it offers quicker delivery times and lower transportation costs.

 

Environmental Monitoring and Conservation: Drones survey wildlife, keep an eye on deforestation, identify poaching, and research the effects of climate change. They are also used to gather DNA samples from marine mammals, monitor ocean ecology, and detect sharks for public safety.

 

Emergency Response & Disaster Relief: Drones are used for post-disaster reconnaissance, search and rescue operations, and catastrophe assessment. They provide real-time imagery to direct rescue efforts, find safe paths, and avert subsequent disasters.

 

Industrial Inspections: They examine wind turbines, oil and gas pipelines, offshore rigs, and solar farms, accurately identifying leaks, structural flaws, and maintenance problems while lowering worker risk.

 

Security and Surveillance: Provides real-time situational awareness and enhanced threat identification; used by law enforcement and the military for perimeter security, border surveillance, traffic monitoring, and crime scene recording.

 

Media and Photography: Drones enable imaginative and economical aerial images for films, real estate marketing, sporting events, and virtual tours.

 

Scientific Research and Weather Monitoring: NASA uses high-altitude Global Hawk drones to research tropical storms and enhance forecasts. Drones gather data on storms, hurricanes, and atmospheric conditions.

The disposal of the body of Lumumba without burial

 

Patrice Lumumba under arrest

Patrice Lumumba was the first prime minister of the Republic of the Congo and a pioneer of African unity. He was murdered on January 17, 1961, by the Belgian government after he fought for independence.

 

Democratically elected to lead the Mouvement National Congolais, the party he founded in 1958, Lumumba was at the center of the country’s growing popular defiance of the colonial rule of oppression imposed by Belgium.

 

In June 1960, when independence was finally won, his unscheduled speech at the official ceremonies in Kinshasa received a standing ovation and made him a hero to millions.

 

A threat always to those who sought to maintain a covert imperialist hand over the country, within months, he became a victim of an insidious plot. He was arrested and subsequently tortured and executed.

 

Ludo De Witte’s book, ‘The Assassination of Lumumba,’ unravels the appalling mass of lies, hypocrisy, and betrayals that have surrounded accounts of the assassination since its perpetration.

 

Drawing on a vast array of official sources and personal testimony from many individuals in the Congo at the time, Ludo De Witte reveals a network of complicity that extends from the Belgian government to the CIA.

 

Chilling official memos that detail ‘liquidation’ and ‘threats to national interests’ are analyzed alongside macabre tales of the destruction of evidence, putting Patrice Lumumba’s personal strength and his dignified quest for African unity in stark contrast with one of the murkiest episodes in twentieth-century politics.

 

The disposal of the body of Patrice Lumumba

The bodies of Lumumba, Mpolo, and Okito were not to stay in their new grave in Kasenga for long. A definitive solution was planned over the next two days.

 

Early in the afternoon of January 21, two Europeans in uniform and a few Black assistants left for Kasenga in a lorry belonging to the public works department, containing road signs, geometrical instruments, two demijohns filled with sulphuric acid, an empty 200-liter petrol barrel, and a hacksaw.

 

According to Brassinne, all the equipment was provided by the public works department, and Verscheure and Belina also confirmed that the sulphuric acid came from the Union Miniere.

 

On their arrival, they unloaded the road signs and theodolite to make passers-by think that they were doing a land survey. But they couldn’t find the grave and had to stop searching at nightfall.

 

Not until the evening of the next day did they find the grave and start their lugubrious task. The corpses were dug up, cut into pieces with knives and a hacksaw, and then thrown into the barrel of sulfuric acid.

 

The operation took hours and ended the next morning, on January 23. At first, the two Belgians dismembering the bodies wore masks over their mouths, but took them off when they became uncomfortable.

 

Their only protection against the stench was whiskey, so according to Brassinne, they got drunk. One of the Black assistants spilled the acid on his foot and burned him badly.

 

After this gruesome task, they discovered that they didn’t have enough acid and only the bodies weren’t completely consumed. According to Verscheure, the skulls were ground up, and the bones and teeth (the body parts neither acid nor fire could destroy) were scattered on the way back.

 

The same occurred with the ashes. Nothing was left of the three nationalist leaders. From 1961 till now, their remains, even the most minute traces of them were found.

 

Part of Lumumba’s body was kept as a souvenir.

 

However, from an article published by the Daily Maverick, it is revealed that the Belgian magazine Humo published an interview with Godelieve Soete, one of the daughters of Gerard Soete, who died in 2000, who had claimed that he had disposed of his macabre “trophies” (the body parts of Patrice Lumumba) in the sea.

 

However, during the interview, his daughter presented the magazine’s photographer and reporters with a small box that contained a gold-wrapped molar that had been ripped from Lumumba’s jaw before his body was disposed of.

 

While the tooth was being photographed for the first time, the journalists, Jan Antonissen en Hanne Van Tendeloo, asked Soete’s daughter whether seeing it affected her in any way.

 

"Mais non, ‘Ce n’était quand-même pas un homme sérieux’," she replied. (Loosely translated: “But no, he was a man of no importance.”).

 

While Godelieve remembers her father as a brutal disciplinarian and recounts the effect the gruesome task had had on his psyche and her family, there is little insight into the wide consequences not only of her father’s deeds but of the devastating Belgian colonial rule so vividly captured in Adam Hochschild’s best-selling “King Leopold’s Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial Africa.”

 

Her disturbing lack of empathy and understanding and insistence that HER father and HER family were actually the victims speaks volumes about the perverse mindset of those who have never had to face or account for their role in a brutal history.

 

“My father never received any recognition or thanks for the work he did,” Godelieve told Humo.

 

When the journalists ask who it was she expected would afford her father the “recognition", Godelieve replies that after the 2001 parliamentary commission, Belgium’s then Minister of Foreign Affairs, Louis Michel, had apologized to Lumumba’s family on behalf of the country.

 

“Why did the family of Lumumba receive an apology, but we did not? They lost their brother and father, but we also lost someone, my father. Why doesn’t Belgium apologize for the inhuman instruction they gave him?”

 

She said after De Witte exposed the assassination in 1999, she wondered why her father had “reopened the wounds.”

 

It’s hard to understand why a continent called Africa will pass through such horrible experiences, all because of the wealth the continent has. If Europe and America want to steal from Africa, they can do so, but they mustn’t kill the leaders and Africans. From slavery to colonial brutality, apartheid, medical crimes, AIDS, and Ebola. What comes next?

 

The mortal remains of Patrice Lumumba must be returned to his family so that a mourning period that has endured for 55 years can begin to find some sort of closure and so that the last resting place of this African icon can become a place of remembrance of a man who gave his life to bring real independence to his country and continent.”

Nkrumah’s overthrow: Sékou Touré's angry response

 

Ghana's first president, Kwame Nkrumah, and Guinea's first president, Ahmed Sékou Touré

“The Ghanaian traitors have been mistaken in thinking that Nkrumah is simply a Ghanaian. He is a universal man, underscoring the depth of their ideological and personal connection.” – President Ahmed Sékou Touré.

 

Ahmed Sékou Touré, the first president of Guinea and a friend of Ghana’s first president, Kwame Nkrumah, wasn’t an ordinary statesman whose name could easily be erased from African history. The man who played a significant role in the Organization of African Unity -OAU, now African Union, whose parents were poor, illiterate farmers. He is affectionately referred to by her mother as Sékou Touré, which means "Sheikh of the Order."

 

Like his contemporaries in Guinea, Sékou Toure grew up in a simple, culturally and spiritually rigid environment. On January 29, 1922, he was born in the city of Varana into a devout rural family. Ahmed Sékou Toure, son of Alpha Toure, was a member of the "Mendinka" ethnic group that led the resistance against French occupation.

 

He led the country's resistance to the French occupation till the end of the eighteenth century. Ahmed Sékou Touré attended the Georges Poire French education in Conakry after quitting religious education. After a year of study, he was dismissed from the school in 1936 for planning a strike to demand food for the students, but he kept up his reading to make up for the lost time.

 

After that, he worked as a clerk for the French Niger Foundation, a private organization, before leaving to take a position as a clerk at the Guinean Postal and Telecommunications Authority. He then held positions as a postal distributor and an accountant in the financial department. Touré started the first postal and telecommunications workers' union in Guinea after getting active in labor and trade union activities when at the Postal Service.

 

Shortly after this union, he led the first successful 76-day strike by Guinea's postal and telecommunications workers to raise pay and stop arbitrary layoffs. In 1945, Sekou Touré became Secretary-General of the Postal and Telecommunications Trade Unions, and then a leading member of the Federation of Guinean Trade Unions.

 

Sékou Touré's political involvement began in the middle of the 1940s. To free African nations from French rule, he formed the African Democratic Rally, a party that became active in French West Africa, with the help of Felix Houphouët-Boigny from Côte d'Ivoire and Leopold Senghor from Senegal. Additionally, he started the Guinean Democratic Party, which grew to be the biggest political organization in the nation.

 

When he arrived at the People's Palace, the 35-year-old Guinean-African hero stood on the podium to deliver a sermon that was repeated generation after generation. General de Gaulle was taken aback by the actions of those greeting him in the streets of Conakry, shouting the word "independence." The sermon fell on General de Gaulle like an ember in the wild, because of the French dream in Guinea.

 

The French president angrily replied, "Well, you can gain your independence. France will not protest, but there will definitely be consequences.” After that momentous sermon on August 25 and the referendum on September 28, Ahmed Sékou Touré became President of the Republic of Guinea on October 2, 1958, with just 200 university graduates and a 95% illiteracy rate.

 

The only French colony in Africa that refused to continue being associated with France was Guinea. France seized everything, including the state house's furniture, after Guinea gained its independence in 1958. In the end, they left Guinea empty. Today, the pain of Francophone African countries gaining independence still hurts countries such as France, Belgium, America, and Britain.

 

The unbreakable bond between Sekou Touré and Kwame Nkrumah

 

In an effort to bring the independent African states together under a single banner, Sékou Touré visited Ghanaian President Kwame Nkrumah. This visit had a significant influence on the founding of the Organization of African Unity, which is now the African Union. Together, they established the "Union of Guinea and Ghana," and Mali joined them in 1960 to become the Union of Independent African States.

 

On May 22, 1963, the presidents of thirty nations adopted the Organization of African Unity's charter, which led to its creation during the Addis Ababa Conference. On May 25, 1963, the organization's founding was formally announced. Its headquarters will be in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia.

 

Ahmed Sékou Touré and Kwame Nkrumah had a close connection, a strong political alignment, and a shared dedication to Pan-Africanism. Opposing colonial control and neocolonial influence throughout the continent, both leaders were ardent supporters of African independence and unity. Their cooperation on Pan-African projects and the OAU in 1963 demonstrated their ideological convergence.

 

When Guinea obtained independence and rejected the French Community in 1958, France abruptly withdrew its backing, which was a major testament to their relationship. According to accounts, Nkrumah's Ghana responded by giving Guinea vital financial support in the amount of either $10,000 (or £10,000) or $28 million. Mutual trust and appreciation were strengthened by this act of solidarity, and Touré is said to have never forgotten Nkrumah's assistance.

 

When Nkrumah was toppled in a military coup in 1966, the intimate aspect of their connection was brought to light. In a show of sympathy, Touré appointed him honorary co-president and granted him shelter in Guinea. Touré emphasized the strength of their intellectual and personal bond when he said, "The Ghanaian traitors have been mistaken in thinking that Nkrumah is simply a Ghanaian; he is a universal man."

 

The depth of their relationship was demonstrated even after Nkrumah passed away in 1972. Touré was first reluctant to release Nkrumah's body to Ghana because of resentment over how Nkrumah had been treated and only agreed after continuous diplomatic attempts. Their partnership continues to be a potent representation of African leaders' solidarity and support for one another.

In 1984, Ahmed Sekou Touré passed away in Cleveland, Ohio, USA, while undergoing surgery. He was the head of the Organization of the Islamic Conference's Islamic Peace Committee at the time. Decades after his death, his principles, his fight against colonialism, and his pursuit of African unity are still remembered by Africans.

 

What makes Kente cloth a symbol of Ghanaian heritage?

 

Assorted Kente cloths in Ghana

Ghana's Kente cloth is acknowledged worldwide as a national treasure and a symbol of the nation's rich artistic heritage, having a deep cultural, historical, and symbolic value. Through the Ashantis' history, Kente clothing and goods have historically, traditionally, and culturally elevated Ghana to enhance its tourism industry.  

 

Its elaborate patterns and vivid colors reflect deep philosophical ideas, proverbs, historical events, and spiritual beliefs. Originally reserved for royalty and religious rites, Kente symbolizes wealth, high social standing, and cultural refinement. Its global significance and the necessity of its preservation were confirmed in December 2024 when it was included in UNESCO's Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

 

Ghana began initiating legal action in November 2025 to protect Kente through geographical indication designation and intellectual property, with the goal of preserving its cultural legacy and guaranteeing that local craftspeople profit from its widespread use. The Ashanti and Ewe peoples of Ghana are closely associated with kente cloth, which dates back to the eleventh century and developed through trading networks that brought in opulent materials like silk.

 

In Kente, every pattern and hue has a distinct symbolic meaning. For instance, crimson stands for the blood of the deceased, green for mineral wealth, black for spiritual awareness, and gold for rank. The fabric is worn as a potent declaration of cultural identity and heritage at significant life events, including weddings, funerals, graduations, and customary rites of passage.

 

The Ghanaian town of Bonwire is regarded as the center of Kente weaving, a craft that has been passed down through the years through apprenticeship within weaving families. Kente, which was formerly only worn by royalty, is now extensively worn in Ghana and by individuals of African descent globally, serving as a symbol of African pride and identity and a link to their African heritage.

 

Kente fabric is thought to have originated in the 17th century AD from old Akan weaving methods that date back to the 11th century. Kente eventually reveals that the exquisitely woven fabric came from Ghana, despite its association with the Ivory Coast culture. Ghana's traditional Kente cloth, which is worn at ceremonies, festivals, and public gatherings, reflects the country's renown as the first in Sub-Saharan Africa to achieve freedom.

Renowned weavers are increasingly studying kente designs, which give each textile its own uniqueness and go beyond simple fashion. Kente continues to be a source of pride for both Ghanaians and Africans living abroad. For instance, during celebrations of African American heritage, like Black History Month, African Americans proudly display Kente to emphasize their ties to the African continent.

 

African Americans frequently wear it to demonstrate their understanding of or support for "Black Pride." As a result, the United States and other parts of the world currently dominate the global market for African art. In the early 1960s, the government of what was then Czechoslovakia invited journalists from all over the world to the country.

 

It was no surprise that the Ghanaian journalists from the Guinea Press, now known as the Ghanaian Times, won the tournament with their beautiful traditional Kente attire.

 

The concept of an information system, people, process, and technology

 

An information system is a formal, sociotechnical, organizational system designed to collect, process, store, and transmit information to support decision-making, operations, and management inside an organization. Photo credit: workforce.libretexts.org

One of the essential elements of contemporary society is an information system. It dictates the rules and has a big impact on our relationships, making it an essential aspect of our everyday life. Knowing what an information system is entails knowing what the modern world is all about.

 

It is a sophisticated mechanism that integrates organizational and technological elements while taking user demands and objectives into consideration. It enables efficient information gathering, processing, storing, and utilization.

 

Information systems is a topic that is both current and always changing. It provides us with an opportunity to understand how knowledge is organized and shared in our society. It is crucial to remember that there are many different kinds and purposes of information systems that we need to be conscious of and mindful of.

 

We can enter the realm of instantaneous information access, quick technical advancements, and contemporary data sharing by learning about information systems. We can quickly acquire the knowledge we need, communicate with others, and take advantage of the many opportunities that an information system offers.

 

The ability to gather, process, store, and transfer data to accomplish particular goals is the idea behind an information system. It is an organized group of software, hardware, personnel, and procedures that cooperate to offer functionality and information processing capabilities.

 

Information systems are employed extensively in many domains, including government, science, industry, and education. They support decision-making, increase management effectiveness, and automate and optimize work processes.

 

In its broadest sense, an information system is a tool made to handle data and find solutions to various complex issues. It is an essential component of contemporary business and society since it offers a dependable and practical method of working with data.

The anatomy of broken trust: Can it ever be restored?

 

The psychological issue of restoring damaged trust. Photo credit: stock.adobe.com

Rebuilding trust can be challenging once it has been damaged because it requires sustained effort, vulnerability, and a genuine commitment from those who abuse their authority or office to oppress and dominate defenseless people.

 

The process is inherently nonlinear and can be prolonged, especially after major betrayals, leaving lasting psychological scars and deep-seated doubt. While possible with time and consistent actions, trust is often never fully restored to its original state.

 

There comes a time when the decision to forgive becomes pointless since the people who are consistently abusing their power or hurting you lack self-control. They continue to commit crimes, act cruelly, and break the law with impunity.

 

I have experienced difficult times in my life, not because I have broken the law, but rather because, as an African writer in Europe, some people view my writing as a threat even though I do not support violence or intend to incite political upheaval.

 

Hundreds of journalists and writers in Europe and the US write false and misleading articles about Africa, and they don't mind at all. I wouldn't be aware that European journalists are paid to disseminate false information about diseases if I weren't in Europe.

 

At the moment, I have lost faith in the government and many institutions in Belgium during the past 25 years, and I don't believe that any psychiatric therapy or rehabilitation can help me regain that broken trust. I don’t have trust in anyone except my family.

 

In my current perspective, I don't need to trust people or institutions till the day I die if I want to live a healthy and happy life. That is far better than short-lived trust from forces that don’t value the truth or life but only money.

 

The truth is a light more powerful than darkness

 

How the American journalists deceive the world to cover up Bill Gates' diabolical agenda

There is something I don’t understand. On YouTube, there is a video that has gone viral of Europeans or Americans discussing how they want the African continent to remain poor, since they need the continent’s resources. 

Behind the table, they express their pride in how, for decades, they have done everything in their power to prevent the growth of Africa.

Yet, the same people are convincing us that Bill Gates is Africa’s new messiah to heal the continent and get rid of the continent’s diseases. Does this make sense?

How Mahama's leadership transformed Ghana's economy in less than a year

 

Ghana's President John Mahama

Ghanaians witnessed the most uncomfortable, dire situation, arrogance, corruption, and heartless governance for a period of eight years, before all came to an end in 2024. During the eight agonizing years of state capture, widespread corruption, and the collapse of banking institutions, the impact took its drastic toll on the economy. However, after Mahama took control in less than a year, things have improved. What did he do?

 

In January 2025, President John Mahama took over the worst form of Ghana after a protracted period of horrible economic calamity that had emerged under Akufo-Addo's administration. A significant amount of debt, high inflation, and a weakening currency plagued the economy. Due to the severe challenges Mahama faced, Ghanaians had unfavorable impressions that he would fail, but they were disappointed.

 

His policies were part of a broader strategy to restore stability and reduce dependency on foreign aid. At the same time, he needs money to fund a wide range of activities, such as public goods and services, healthcare, and education. His policies and economic initiatives included rolling out a 24-hour economy to boost business activity, emergency services, and social protection programs like pensions and unemployment benefits.

 

Despite the nation's high debt, which has negatively impacted many institutions, such as the Electricity Company of Ghana and the COCOBOD, Mahama made every effort to address the unpredictable, intermittent power outages, or "Dumsor," that plague the country. It also promoted agriculture by putting policies in place that would allow the government to buy excess produce from farmers to prevent food waste.

 

A complicated combination of internal variables or domestic troubles that had developed in the eight years of extensive corruption and money laundering was the cause of Mahama's economic difficulties. However, he did steer clear of the harsh criticism and instead concentrated on finding quick solutions to fulfill several important pledges during his first 120 days in office, signaling a proactive beginning to his second term.

 

The quick nomination and parliamentary ratification of a complete cabinet, comprising 42 ministers and regional and non-cabinet officials, in less than a month, is one of the significant achievements. By appointing fewer ministerial and deputy ministerial nominees in the first 30 days than the previous government, Mahala has also made great strides toward establishing the Fourth Republic's leanest and most efficient government.

 

Additionally, he organized the National Education Forum to realign policy direction in the education sector and started the National Economic Dialogue, which brought stakeholders and experts together to create a long-term recovery program. To counteract environmental degradation, social and environmental initiatives have also been created, such as the "Blue Water" and "Tree for Life" programs.

 

The One Million Coders Program and the Mahama Cares social protection framework were also introduced to help vulnerable groups and develop young people's digital literacy. The National Cathedral project was scrapped, Hajj tickets were lowered from GH¢75,000 to GH¢62,000, and university residential facility costs were lowered from GH¢3,000 to GH¢2,500, among other noteworthy accomplishments.

 

The government has also revived investigations into the murder of investigative journalist Ahmed Hussein-Suale and launched new ones into the violence around the 2020 election, including the shootings in Ayawaso West Wuogon. Prominent politicians have been arrested or questioned in 280 incidents of suspected corruption since the establishment of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) preparatory committee to look into corruption.

 

The creation of the Gold Board to legalize the nation's gold trade and the reorganization of inefficient State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) are two other measures Mahama has taken to modernize state institutions. To encourage job creation, the government has initiated the Adwumawura Program and provided seed funding for the Women's Development Bank. To further establish Ghana as a popular travel destination, the Black Star Experience, a flagship tourism and cultural revitalization initiative, was launched.

 

President John Mahama reaffirmed "the need for Africa to move beyond aid dependency amid U.S. aid cuts and rising trade tariffs" in a recent interview with Time Magazine, which was based on the ideas and philosophy of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the first Ghanaian leader. He called the $156 million cut in USAID spending on governance, education, and health a "wake-up call" that would eventually encourage African countries to become more independent.

 

The Ghanaian leader acknowledged the short-term challenges but said Ghana had adjusted its national budget to make up the difference, adding, "We're fine, but not so in some other countries," where school feeding and other programs have been affected. Under his "Resetting Ghana" agenda, the cedi has strengthened by 30%, and inflation has been cut in half, leading to affordable prices of commodities throughout the country.

 

In less than a year, if the NDC government has accomplished this and, more significantly, has taken the fight against corruption to a new level, resulting in the arrest and questioning of some politicians, then President John Mahama should be commended. The only thing left Ghanaians are anxiously waiting for is to imprison all corrupt politicians found guilty, which will assess whether he is a serious and sincere leader who would keep his word.

 

Hurricane Melissa turns Jamaica into a disaster zone: The people need help

The Jamaican government has designated the nation as a disaster area. Hurricane Melissa, which struck the island nation the day before, was the cause. "Melissa" is considered to be the highest, fifth category of power on the Saffir-Simpson scale, with winds surpassing 250 km/h.

 

The hurricane caused extensive damage and floods. The Jamaican Ministry of Health reports that hundreds of buildings were destroyed and three persons were killed. Roughly 1,700 people were evacuated from the impacted areas when evacuations started on Monday. 

Many residents refused to leave their homes, according to local authorities, despite the impact affecting electricity throughout the country. 

 

Experts have cautioned that floods may force crocodiles into residential areas; therefore, a new attack is anticipated following the natural disaster in Jamaica.

 

Melissa has the potential to eclipse Hurricane Katrina, which hit the US in 2005 and killed over 1,300 people, as the most catastrophic disaster in history.

 

The hurricane is still moving through the Caribbean, moving northeast from Jamaica toward Cuba despite its slight weakening. On the Island of Paradise, emergency responses have been mandated.

 

Nobody can change my identity, or make me someone else

 

It takes courage to speak the truth, which is why many are scared.

 

Belgium and Google can’t force me to be a criminal or force me to be who I don’t want to be.  Since I am an African writer living in Europe, they can’t force me to write misleading articles like a European.  

 

It takes courage to speak the truth, which is why many are scared. If speaking the truth will cost me my head on a silver platter like John the Baptist, I would prefer my head to be decapitated than submit to any criminal government or institution.

 

I can be taken from the search engines by them; even if only one person reads my blog, I will still be grateful. I thank God for giving me the strength to stand firm against the darkest forces that want to kill me. 

I know that Jesus was persecuted for the truth, but if I hadn't been in Europe, I wouldn't have known that to such an extent I would be subjected to all kinds of cruelties and psychological torture by Google and the Belgian government because of the truth.

Exploring the cultural significance of winter traditions

 

An amazing winter scene in the forest

One of the best seasons is winter, with loads of fun, snow, frost, and festivities leading up to Christmas. Many people look forward to winter with great anticipation, and the sight of snowfall is usually spectacular. While some people prefer to stay outside in cafés and at home to enjoy warm drinks and soup, others, notably children, congregate on the streets to play with snowballs.

 

It's crucial to keep in mind that winter is the ideal time of year to participate in a range of activities. For those who enjoy skiing, snowboarding, or skating, this time of year is highly anticipated. Of course, popular holidays like Christmas and the New Year are also a part of winter. On certain days, families come together to celebrate significant dates. Many people decorate their homes and streets to create a festive atmosphere.

 

Many people enjoy winter and take advantage of its opportunities during this beautiful season when nature takes on a new atmosphere. The fluffy snowflakes and white snowdrifts generate an amazing feeling of joy and pleasure. As you walk through the snow-covered streets, you may see contented children building snow castles and sliding down snowy hills.

 

Winter isn't just about extreme sports, though; it's also about spending time with loved ones in a cozy and welcoming home. Playing board games, enjoying delicious pastries, and spending comfortable afternoons by the fireplace all contribute to a warm and happy atmosphere. The cold weather offers the chance to spend time with loved ones and create cherished memories.

 

During the enchanted winter months preceding December, the city's brightly illuminated streets are centered around Christmas trees. Giving gifts, celebrating with loved ones, and engaging in family traditions are all made possible by the winter holidays. Winter is a beautiful season for both adults and children, bringing families and friends close together.

 

Traditional Christmas dishes

The most well-known traditional Christmas dishes vary by region but commonly include roast turkey, prime rib, baked ham, and goose as main courses, accompanied by classic sides like mashed potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, and roasted vegetables.

 

The popularity of turkey-eating increases during Christmas

These dishes are staples in many Western countries, particularly in the United States, the United Kingdom, and parts of Europe, where they are often served as part of a festive holiday meal. Roast turkey is considered the centerpiece of many American and British Christmas dinners, often enhanced with butter under the skin for moisture and flavor.

 

Prime rib also comes on the Christmas menu. A luxurious main dish, especially popular in the U.S., is often rubbed with horseradish and mustard and roasted to perfection, and baked ham, a traditional favorite in the American South and other regions, is frequently glazed with a sweet and savory mixture to create a crispy crust.

 

Families make the Christmas dining table attractive with assorted dishes, such as mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, Yorkshire pudding, and Christmas pudding, a dense, dark fruitcake often served with a flaming brandy sauce, a cherished tradition in the United Kingdom.

 

Tortellini in brodo is a traditional Italian Christmas Eve dish featuring stuffed pasta in a hot broth, often made with chicken and Parmesan. Panettone is also a sweet, fluffy Italian bread studded with dried fruits and candied zest, commonly enjoyed during the holiday season.

 

Bûche de Noël is a French yule log cake, typically chocolate-flavored, shaped like a log, and decorated to resemble bark, served as a festive dessert.

Switzerland is an exceptional destination for winter holidays due to its transformation into a snow-covered wonderland, offering a blend of natural beauty, world-class winter sports, and unique cultural experiences. The country's alpine landscapes, including the iconic Swiss Alps, which cover about 60% of its area, are renowned for their majestic peaks like the Matterhorn and Jungfrau, creating a fairy-tale atmosphere that captivates visitors.

 

This scenery is ideal for a wide range of winter activities, from skiing and snowboarding on world-class slopes in resorts like Zermatt, Davos, and the Jungfrau region, to more leisurely pursuits such as snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and winter walking on well-groomed trails.

 

Beyond the mountains, Switzerland's charm extends to its charming alpine villages and historic cities, which are especially enchanting in winter. Towns like Zermatt, Grindelwald, and Wengen offer picturesque, snow-dusted streets and cozy chalets, while cities such as Lucerne, Bern, and Zurich boast festive Christmas markets, illuminated historic architecture, and a relaxed pace of life.

Winter holidays in Switzerland

These markets, along with the festive decorations and warm hospitality, create a magical atmosphere, particularly during the December to January period. The winter season also presents practical advantages for travelers. Cities and popular destinations see fewer tourists compared to the summer months, leading to less crowded attractions and more affordable hotel deals, especially in January and early February.
