We cannot be fooled: Macron reforms the CFA to maintain French colonial domination in Africa
Macron told a lie to justify the reform of the CFA franc, saying, “It was by hearing your youth that I wanted to initiate this reform. The CFA franc crystallizes many criticisms and many debates on France in Africa. I have heard the critics, I see your youth which criticizes us for continuing a relationship which it considers post-colonial. So let's break the moorings."

"Cars and barricades ablaze, shops plundered, water cannons in constant operation, injuries, devastated city quarters, heavily-armed special police units: The images of the violence in Hamburg have circled the globe. And they stood in stark contrast to those of the 20 heads of state and government who, at the same time, were listening to Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" in Hamburg's chic new Elbphilharmonie concert hall.

Colonialism is the real culprit of the Grenfell Tower fire!
A fire broke out in the Grenfell Tower, a 24-storey building located in West London on the early morning of Tuesday June 14, 2017 at about 1am.
The fire spread extremely quickly, engulfing the entire building in a matter of 15 minutes and condemning its inhabitants to a certain death.
