The Black man has no mind of his own. I strongly believe that the slave trade that occurred in Africa was a permitted practice, and that the white colonies did more good than harm to the Black race. The problem in Nigeria has never been, and will never be, the political class.
I read about the new Trillonaire on Earth 🌎 & started wondering 🤔 What can a Trillonaire do that a Billionaire cannot?
Grok Replied with a long list of things - I asked it to shorten it & this is the final reply 👉
What's the real difference between a Billionaire and a Trillionaire?
💰💰A billionaire can buy islands, sports teams, or run massive companies.
💰💰💰A trillionaire (like Musk now) can fund decade-long megaprojects — Mars colonies, orbital infrastructure, entire new industries — with nation-state level capital and independence. 1,000x the scale changes everything.
What do you think a trillionaire should focus on❓️

If the American colonies had not fought against an English King, then England would've been stronger to handle the later Englishman as Charles Darwin. It seems that way.
For a position, a KING worth his salt would've had Charles Darwin judged for being a heretic, so it seems.

That is an exaggeration. A strong industrial base can not
grow in puppet systems but rather require a distributed
network of decision making institutions.
The French empire controlled its colonies via puppet
'governments' because it never had any intention for
their development.

So both have bounderies with what the World call COLONIES

On this day in 1775, Congress establishes the Continental Army to defend the 13 Colonies. Before finally being disbanded in 1783, it will reach a peak strength of 80,000 men.

These men were the Senegalese Tirailleurs—African soldiers recruited from across France's West African colonies, including present-day Senegal, Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso, and Niger.
When Nazi Germany invaded France in 1940, they fought and died defending a country that was not their own.
Thousands served on the front lines, facing the same artillery, machine guns, and tanks as their white comrades.
Many were captured by the Nazis and endured years of imprisonment under brutal conditions.
But for many survivors, the greatest betrayal came not from Germany, but from the very nation they had fought to defend — France !
After the war, African veterans returned expecting the pay, pensions, and respect promised to them for their service.
Instead, they encountered discrimination, delayed wages, and unequal treatment.
On 1 December 1944, a group of demobilized Tirailleurs at the Thiaroye military camp near Dakar protested over unpaid salaries and benefits.
French colonial forces opened fire on them, killing 500 veterans. Historians are convinced that the true death toll was likely much higher than this.
They fought for France against fascism, survived Nazi captivity, and came home only to be met with bullets from the French colonial state.
It did not end there. In 1945, 34 of the Senegalese veterans, who were thought to be the instigators of the protest, were tried and given sentences of upto ten years.
They were later pardoned as French President Vincent Auriol visited Senegal in March 1947, but they were not exonerated, and their widows were never awarded the veteran pensions usually granted to widows of fallen soldiers.
The Thiaroye massacre is not taught in schools in France, and a Senegalese film about the massacre released in 1988, Camp de Thiaroye, was both banned in France and censored in Senegal.

So you’re defending Indigenous peoples then?
Because if people have the right to resist and defend their countries, then Aboriginal people have the right to resist the British, Palestinians have the right to resist occupation, Native Indian Americans have the right to resist, and every colonised people have the right to fight back.
Or does “resist and defend your country” only apply when Europeans are doing it?
"Ironically the British Empire left most colonies better off."
Absolutely not true.

June 14th, 1775.
While the air in Philadelphia hung thick with tension and the scent of rebellion, the Second Continental Congress did something no collection of colonial delegates had ever done before.
They raised an Army.
Not some ragtag gathering of local militiamen. Not another loose band of farmers with pitchforks. No.
They forged the Continental Army – the iron spine that would become the United States Army. Six companies of deadly Pennsylvania riflemen. Two from Maryland. Two from Virginia. Ten companies total of hard-eyed experts ordered to march north and join the New England forces already choking the British in Boston.
This was the moment scattered colonies stopped playing defense and started building a nation with bayonets and resolve.
The very next day, they handed command to a Virginia planter and soldier named George Washington. A man who would stare down an empire and refuse to kneel.
Two hundred and fifty-one years ago today, free men chose steel over submission. They chose unity over scattered pleas. They chose an Army for a people who would rather die on their feet than live on their knees.
And on this same date in 1777, they gave that Army a flag – the Stars and Stripes – to rally under.
Two birthdays. One unbreakable spirit.
Happy Birthday to all my brothers and sisters of the cloth!

The Defence focus should be NATO and UN Peacekeepers. RN Bahrain again shows our fragments of colonies and bases are a 21C risk and drain. Cyprus axed? Time4Change @RachelReevesMP @bbclaurak @AlistairCarns @Johnmcternan @LordRickettsP @meralhece @GreenJennyJones @DanJarvisMBE

A letter to wish President Trump a happy birthday and happy flag day message in the way a Continental Army officer for George Washington would have written it during the post revolutionary war era.
To His Excellency, President Donald J. Trump,
From a humble Officer of the Continental Army, in the Service of General Washington, this 14th Day of June, in the Year of Our Lord One Thousand Seven Hundred and Eighty-Three.
Most Worthy Sir,I write these lines by the flickering light of a guarded lantern, having lately returned from the shadows where secrets of the Enemy are laid bare for the Cause of Liberty.
Though the smoke of battle still lingers in my memory, and the weight of many a coded dispatch rests upon my breast, I set aside all cipher and intrigue this day to offer you the warmest felicitations upon the anniversary of your birth.
May the Almighty, who hath guided the ragged columns of our Army through valley and forge, shower upon you the choicest blessings of health, vigor, and wisdom.
You have reached another year in the service of your country, much as our beloved General Washington hath steered these United Colonies through storm and trial.
Long may you stand as a bulwark against tyranny, your spirit as unyielding as the bayonets at Monmouth.
On this same auspicious day, we mark the birth of our sacred Banner—the Stars and Stripes, first unfurled by resolve of the Congress in Philadelphia, that it might wave defiance to the Crown and hope to the free. Thirteen stripes for our united colonies, thirteen stars in a new constellation upon the azure field.
Today that Flag flies not only over the fields of Yorktown but, by your stewardship, over a Republic yet more vast and resolute.
May it ever wave triumphant, its colors undimmed by the tempests of faction or foreign intrigue.I remain,
Sir, your most obedient and faithful servant in the great Work of Independence.
Should any shadow fall upon the Republic, know that vigilant eyes yet watch from the hedgerows, as they did in the days when we outwitted the redcoats with quill, cipher, and midnight ride.
God bless you, God bless these United States, and God grant victory to the Cause of Liberty everlasting.
Your Humble Servant,
Major Woodhull
Continental Army
Headquarters, Near the Hudson
