Faced with an energy crisis, France turns to a former colony that might not be too eager to rekindle an abusive relationship

For energy-starved EU, Algeria is no longer a metaphoric dependable girl next door. She’s suddenly blossomed into a hottie who gets chased after by all her divorced former classmates at the high school reunion.

Just a year ago French President Emmanuel Macron could hardly bother to give the former North African French colony the time of day. It was mostly taken for granted that Algiers would keep pumping gas for the European Union as the bloc’s third largest natural gas supplier after Russia and Norway.

Macron even accused the country’s “political-military system” of inciting “hatred towards France.”

He went as far as to ask, “Was there an Algerian nation before French colonization? That’s the question.”

Sounds a lot like the rhetoric someone hears when they’re in an exploitative relationship, “You were nothing before I came along and started taking advantage of you.”

Tales from the Conspiratum

Those who are bragging and “feel safe” because they are “fully vaccinated” are finding themselves dealing with new health events, exacerbated pre-existing conditions, and starting to regret what choices they’ve made. Doctors and scientists around the globe are blowing the whistle on the clot shots, seeing the carnage right in their own labs and offices now.

It took a while, but a few billion people are now able to confirm what they suspected since the beginning of the pandemic, namely that it is mostly a fear-based campaign that went “viral,” and the main goal…

Africa, The Looted Continent

Human Wrongs Watch By Baher Kamal via thefreeonline

MADRID, Oct 10 2022 (IPS)* – Africa. The birthplace of “Homo Sapiens.” The land of plenty. The origin of farming. The richest region in terms of natural resources. And human capital. Home to over 1.3 billion humans, continues to be looted.

With 500 million plus people living in extreme poverty, Africa has also been transformed in a sort of grave for half of the world’s victims of terror. The continent is also the land with the highest suicide rate on Earth. Why?

Gold, diamonds, lithium…

“The evidence is there that the illegal exploitation of precious metals and minerals such as gold, silver and diamonds, are fuelling the extremists with significant sources of income, and benefiting the groups that control extraction, and trafficking routes.”

This is what the Head of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) on 6 October 2002 stated, informing that the vast Sahel region in particular has become “home to some of the most active and deadly terrorist groups.”

See some of the major facts Ghada Waly submitted to the UN Security Council:

Illegally mined gold and other precious metals are being fed into the legitimate market, providing huge profits for traffickers;
Wildlife trafficking has also been reported as a possible source of funding for militias, with the illegal trade in ivory alone generating 400 million US dollars in illicit income each year;
Around 3,500 victims of terrorist acts in sub-Saharan Africa last year, nearly half of those recorded worldwide;
Such criminal exploitation strips the people of Africa of a significant source of revenue. It robs the millions of people who depend on these natural resources for their livelihoods. And it fuels conflicts and exacerbates instability;
Mineral supply chains are often linked to child abuse, human trafficking, forced labour and other human rights violations… With 60% of Africa’s population under 25 years of age, young people are both the future of the continent but also its most vulnerable citizens.

The Ambassadors sitting in the UN Security Council heard these words. Five of them represent the world’s biggest arms producers –those used by terrorist groups– and their markets are the top beneficiaries of the business of exploiting precious minerals.

Millions of Girls Enslaved, Abused, Tortured, Raped, Killed in the Name of Religion and Fake, Toxic Masculinity

**from IPS.and Human Wrongs Watch By Baher Kamal via thefreeonline**

MADRID, Oct 13 2022 (IPS) – A common feature to religions – including the monotheistic ones – is that groups of males have self-proclaimed themselves as the source for interpreting the “Words of God,” (shaping them to include the enslavement of women).

Girls are primarily victims of sexual exploitation (72% of detected girl victims), while boys are mainly subjected to forced labour (66% of detected boy victims).

Consequently, any given “god” has been historically presented as a man. And some say that God created the first woman (Eve) from the rib of a man (Adam). According to this, women are just a “sub-product.”

This way, the Taliban in Afghanistan –and their influence in other Muslim neighbouring countries like Pakistan–, the Boko Haram in Nigeria, the Shabab in Somalia, the Jihadists in the Middle East, just to mention some, continue to subject women to all sorts of brutality.

Syrian-Kurdish women of the YPJ women’s defense militia carry the coffins of female fighters in Syria’s northeastern city of Qamishli during the funeral of sixteen fighters killed battling the Islamic State (ISIS) who buy and sell wives and sex slaves. The YPJ helpèd smash ISIS and liberate millions of women in Rojava and NE Syria.

But such acts of male dominance are not limited only to Muslim societies. Indeed, women were seen as creators with no soul by some Christian male leaders during the decades of medieval times.

Even in modern times, girls and women are exploited, abused, raped and also killed in Christian majority States.

Now, the rising right and far-right parties in all societies, including and perhaps above all in the Western ones, are steadily heading to abolishing girls’ and women’s basic human rights.

Additionally, in all patriarchy-dominated societies, women continue to be major victims of brutality: violence, stereotypes, exclusion, and discrimination.
