I often hear from individuals deeply interested in Ukraine's affairs that the Revolution of Dignity was a CIA-orchestrated coup against a "Russian" rule-based system within Ukraine. 🕵️♂️🇺🇦 While I understand this viewpoint and acknowledge that intelligence services worldwide work towards their national security objectives in such scenarios, I respectfully disagree with the notion that this was an #American-led coup. 🇺🇸❌ It was, unequivocally, the people of #Ukraine. 🇺🇦✊ These were people yearning for what we cherish in #America: the fundamental right to the pursuit of happiness. 🗽💫 Such happiness remained elusive under a #Kremlin-backed regime, with citizens at the mercy of corrupt officials and oligarchs. 💼🚫 And let's not forget, this wasn't the first uprising. The Orange Revolution of 2004 is yet another instance where the Ukrainian people stood tall against the same oppressive forces they faced a decade later in 2014. 🍊🔙 After waiting a decade for change, only to be met with more of the same, the people's patience wore thin, and in 2014, they said, "enough is enough." 🕰️💥 Little did they know that soon after, #Russia would annex #Crimea and instigate conflicts in Donetsk and Luhansk, leading to a full-scale invasion eight years later. 🇷🇺🚀 Despite these challenges, the Ukrainian spirit of freedom and justice for all remains unbroken. They continue to resist, embodying the true essence of courage and resilience. 🛡️🔥 Let's never forget their struggle and the ideals they fight for. #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦🌟
Today we honor the memory of the Heavenly Hundred Heroes - those who were killed during the Revolution of Dignity in the struggle for democracy, human rights & freedom for European future of 🇺🇦 Those, whose memory will always be alive. Eternal memory and glory to the Heroes! 🇺🇦

The Four Freedoms | Freedom for Virtue Political freedom relies on the virtue and morality of citizens, as emphasized by historical figures like Livy, Jefferson, and Mill. True freedom involves self-mastery and the pursuit of virtues such as family fidelity, self-control, humility, and toleration. These virtues reduce the need for external governance, support strong communities, and preserve a truly free and flourishing society. https://lnkd.in/gmbXHN9t

As America pauses today to celebrate Juneteenth a day that marks the landing of Federal Troops at Galveston within the great state of Texas to take control and ensure all enslaved people be rightfully freed I would like us to equally remember that we continue to have a great deal of work remaining even 161 years later. There are many efforts and champions of DEI efforts within government, academia, and business and I applaud their work. However, I stand firm in my assertion that as a society we have not achieved the goal of ensuring all enslaved people be rightly freed. These efforts must be continued, they must be discussed, and absolutely actioned. We pushed the disgusting act of human slavery from accepted and open observance to the shadows. Today in our society and globally the human slave trade remains a fully functioning system, with an estimated 46-50 million enslaved people in 2024, often targeting the most vulnerable of DEI populations. Sometimes these activities take place right in front of us with the support of both the witting and unwitting. As a society we must better educate each other on the signs of human trafficking which feeds the slavery process. We must understand when we might interact with events traffickers target for profit. We must be willing to report it when suspected. And we must all continue the assignment that our great leader gave to us 161 years ago to ensure all enslaved people be rightfully freed.

Today marks the 100-day countdown to #PeaceDay. The theme this year is “Cultivating a culture of peace”. In a world mired by conflict, inequalities and discrimination, we recognize that education is one of the principal means to build this culture of peace, and that we must strive ever harder to promote dialogue, empathy and human rights for all.

Time to switch from BLM to BNM https://lnkd.in/eeX8XFBx The evidence that white supremacist ideology has been mainstream, impacting all aspects of government policies in Europe and much of the Americas, does not constitute a discovery. Rather, it is an ugly reality much effort has contributed to mask or downplay. When Dr. Martin Luther King, Walter Rodney and others underscored how, during their time, Christianity in the US was more bound to whiteness than to truth or justice, they were pointing to the same realities we confront today in official foreign policies of most European and American states. Is it mere coincidence that, regardless of which political party holds power in Canada or the US, somehow, the official position adopted by their foreign ministers systematically goes against the interests of indigenous Venezuelans (some Juan Guaido supporters were outright Nazi sympathisers who burned alive black supporters of Hugo Chavez like Jose Figueroa), against indigenous Bolivians (toppling Evo Morales) while they support criminal white warlords in Haiti (see Ottawa Initiative on Haiti)? These disturbing observations remain unaffected by the fact that US and Canadian governments have seen Latino and Black faces who hold important sounding titles. Superficial postures will do nothing to get our world out of the current mess. We need to summon genuine courage to achieve meaningful transformation. I am no expert in most global conflicts. However, the one engulfing my native Haiti is fairly straightforward to me. The fake solutions being brandied around have been tried before and they always amplify the suffering of the masses - the most impoverished, blackest, most marginalized, the 99%. These ridiculous experiments must end. Our people are not laboratory rats but human beings, brains, human souls, geniuses who only need space and opportunity to thrive. We have the right to our nation and we demand that the US and it's allied white supremacist cousins leave us alone. We do not ask for, nor want your help. We demand that you LEAVE us alone. Go away! #BlackNationhoodMatters #LetHaitiansBreathe #EndWhiteTerrorism
