On September 10, 2025, two tragedies struck.
In Utah, conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated during a campus speech. The same day, in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, jihadists attacked a funeral and nearby villages, killing at least 89 people.
Both were shocking. Yet one dominated headlines in the U.S and around the world, while the other barely registered outside Africa.
Unequal Headlines
Kirk’s death immediately broke into broadcasts across America and abroad. Leaders around the world issued statements while in the U.S flags were lowered, and commentators framed it as a crisis for democracy. His name, face, and story filled front pages.
By contrast, Congo’s no one knows anything about the massacre in Congo. Yes, the massacre was covered briefly but it also quickly faded. Reports emphasized numbers, not names. Few international leaders responded with urgency and no leaders made any statement condemning the violence.
Imagine It in Europe
If 88 people were slaughtered at a funeral in Britain or France, the world would stop. Vigils, summits, front-page spreads, weeks of analysis—it would be treated as a defining moment.
When it happens in Africa, the world shrugs.
Why It Matters
This imbalance signals whose lives count as newsworthy. It fosters dehumanization, leads to policy neglect, and erases victims from collective memory. Without coverage, pressure for change fades—and cycles of violence continue.
Conclusion
Charlie Kirk’s assassination deserved attention. But so did the massacre in Congo. The stark difference in coverage reveals a global blind spot: some deaths shout, others whisper. If every life holds equal value, then every tragedy should matter—not only the ones close to home.
]]>A stunning display of unity where hundreds of Hebrew Israelite men gathered together in Houston, Texas to march for peace and for Israel. This is IUIC’s annual men’s conference — a powerful show of discipline, brotherhood, and spiritual purpose.
IUIC, which comprises primarily Black descendants of the transatlantic slave trade and Hispanics, identifies as Hebrew Israelites with a mission: to awaken what they believe are the lost tribes of Israel scattered throughout the Americas and beyond. While their beliefs can be viewed as controversial in mainstream circles, the social and cultural impact they’re having within their communities is undeniable.
In a world often defined by division, the 2025 Men’s Conference offered a contrasting narrative — one of order, self-respect, and community upliftment. The men, clad in purple T-Shirts and black pants, moved through the city streets in unison, chanting affirmations such as “We take care of our wives” and “We love our children”. Spectators watched with curiosity and admiration as the group emphasized peace, family values, and spiritual awakening.
This annual event has become a hallmark moment for IUIC, drawing attendees from across the U.S., the Caribbean, and parts of Africa. Throughout the conference weekend, men participate in workshops, biblical studies, community outreach, and leadership training aimed at strengthening their roles as husbands, fathers, and leaders in their neighborhoods.
Organizers of the conference emphasized that this is not a message of hate, but a call to righteousness, identity, and unity. They addressed misconceptions about their movement, explaining that their mission is not to condemn others, but to restore a people they believe have b
In a time when the name Israel is often surrounded by political tension and global controversy, IUIC hopes to offer an alternative view — one rooted in heritage, healing, and moral restoration for the Israel of the Bible. Their vision includes rebuilding broken communities through faith, structure, and unity.
As IUIC’s presence continues to grow globally, their message is being heard by more people every year. The 2025 Men’s Conference was not only a celebration of identity but a resounding call to peace, purpose, and brotherhood in a world sorely in need of all three.
]]>Vorbe, executive vice president of Société Générale d’Énergie S.A. (SOGENER), has been tied to multimillion-dollar contracts dating back to the administration of former President René Préval. These contracts provided electricity to the Haitian government while allegedly enabling massive overbilling and profiteering under a public-private energy agreement.
According to Haitian prosecutors, the Vorbe family enriched themselves through state-subsidized petroleum while delivering erratic power service to Haitian cities, contributing to chronic blackouts and budgetary shortfalls.
For decades, Haiti’s ruling oligarchy—comprised of about a dozen powerful families controlling fuel, banking, and import monopolies—has been accused of pillaging national resources while maintaining a veneer of legality through political patronage. Critics argue that these elites, including Vorbe, helped cripple state functions by capturing key infrastructure sectors and bending policy to their interests, fund protests and gang to destabilize Haiti.
“Dimitri Vorbe symbolizes a larger system of organized economic parasitism,” said one Haitian political analyst who asked to remain anonymous. “These aren’t just rich people—they are unelected powers that operate above the state.”
Vorbe fled Haiti in 2020 after an arrest warrant was issued on charges including corruption, forgery, and money laundering. He was later detained by U.S. immigration officials in Miami, though he has since been released pending further review.
Now, amid a broader U.S. crackdown on Haitian nationals suspected of destabilizing the region—including the recent ICE arrest of oligarch Pierre Réginald Boulos in July 2025—legal experts say Vorbe could be “next in line” for prosecution or extradition.
Federal sources have not confirmed an active arrest warrant against Vorbe in the United States, but his name continues to circulate among anti-corruption activists and Haitian diaspora communities calling for accountability.
Public frustration in Haiti is boiling over. Gangs now control over 80% of Port-au-Prince. Government institutions are paralyzed. And while ordinary Haitians flee violence and hunger, a class of entrenched elites continues to profit.
“The destruction of Haiti is not just because of gangs or foreign interference,” said a Port-au-Prince university professor. “It’s because of the oligarchs who privatized our future—and Dimitri Vorbe is one of them.”
While Vorbe maintains his innocence and denies all allegations, international pressure is growing for the U.S. and Haiti to jointly pursue charges against those believed to have looted the country under the cover of energy contracts, infrastructure deals, and political donations.
Whether Dimitri Vorbe will be arrested next remains to be seen—but the tide is turning against Haiti’s untouchables.
Dimitri Vorbe Under Scrutiny as U.S. Cracks Down on Haiti’s Corrupt Oligarchs
Miami – August 3, 2025 — Haitian businessman Dimitri Vorbe, long accused of corruption and misappropriation of public funds through his family’s energy company, is once again in the spotlight as U.S. immigration authorities ramp up efforts against Haiti’s embattled oligarchs suspected of undermining national stability and fueling state collapse.
Vorbe, executive vice president of Société Générale d’Énergie S.A. (SOGENER), has been tied to multimillion-dollar contracts dating back to the administration of former President René Préval. These contracts provided electricity to the Haitian government while allegedly enabling massive overbilling and profiteering under a public-private energy agreement.

Officers were forced to pull the nude man out of the pool.
“It was like eight police surrounding him. He was right in the middle of the pool, acting weird,” said Javier Cavero.

The United States once prided itself on its moral compass—on learning from its darkest chapters: Slavery, Jim Crow, Japanese internment camps, and GTMO Refugee Crisis. Yet today, under the banner of illegal immigration, we are repeating history’s gravest mistakes with Alligator Alcatraz—the vast, Everglades-bound detention center being built to incarcerate desperate families and hard-working migrants.
This facility, euphemistically called a “detention center,” is nothing less than a concentration camp. Situated on a disused airstrip within the Big Cypress Preserve, it is encased by swamps teeming with pythons and alligators—a chilling deterrent against potential escapees, crafted by Governor DeSantis and championed by President Trump.
Inside the wire fences, thousands of poor immigrants—many merely seeking work—will be corralled in shipping container–like accommodations. Reports describing deplorable conditions in other detention centers—including a lack of sheets in Krome, a Cuban migrant who died in ICE custody after living in the U.S. for 60 years, and a Haitian woman who died at BTC (Broward Transitional Center)—are all signs of what is to come at Alligator Alcatraz.
It won’t be long before we hear of overcrowding, lack of sanitation, insufficient medical services, oppressive heat, and prolonged isolation, and deaths.
This echoes the horrors of Guantánamo, especially for Haitians, who suffered under similar brutal policies in the past. The leaders who promote this shameful concentration camp do so under the illusion of “deterrence,” yet compound it with cruelty and a disregard for human dignity. Sadly, everyone is a Christian and everyone must love one another—unless you’re a minority, an immigrant, or Black. There is no love for you.
Environmentalists, Indigenous groups, and immigrant advocates have already rallied against this dystopian scheme.
Musk’s hint of a new party due to the Big Beautiful Big is showing cracks in the MAGA movement. Sadly, many Americans who supported the president are at disbelief with what’s going on and even now we see a growing electorate disillusioned by what some Cuban Americans call systemic oppression. Keep in mind, a huge number of Cubans and Venezuelans voted for the president in this most recent election. Losing their support in the upcoming primaries can shift the balance.
Republicans should recognize that while the country wants border security, a party built on cruelty and detention camps may achieve short-term goals, but the final result may be a collapse of the party from which it never recovers.
No one who seeks power through the brutalization of the poor, the children, pregnant women, the elderly, or the powerless—especially in the name of “curbing migration”—ever triumphs permanently. This nation “trusts in God,” and therefore it’s moral obligation to defend the country but protect the vulnerable.
Alligator Alcatraz is more than a detention site—it is a reflection of our soul. And once more, we face a reckoning with our past. We must choose empathy over cruelty—or forever be judged by the camps we build.
]]>In recent years, a growing number of scandals have rocked religious institutions, leaving behind not only disillusioned congregations but also a broader cultural skepticism toward organized religion. One name now being discussed in such unfortunate contexts is **Robert Morris**, the founding pastor of Gateway Church, a multi-campus megachurch based in Texas. While Morris has been widely respected for his leadership and dynamic preaching, recent controversies surrounding his ministry’s financial transparency, alleged misuse of church resources, and political entanglements have raised serious questions.
Though Morris has not faced legal charges, criticisms have mounted concerning **lavish spending, a lack of accountability, and tight control over church governance . Former insiders have reported an environment where questioning leadership decisions is discouraged, and financial decisions are made behind closed doors with little input from the broader church body.
The Church and the Erosion of Trust
The Robert Morris situation is not an isolated incident. It follows a disturbing pattern where charismatic church leaders become entangled in scandals—financial impropriety, sexual misconduct, authoritarian leadership, or doctrinal compromise. Each scandal adds another crack in the foundation of public trust in churches.
For decades, the church was seen as a moral compass and a sanctuary of integrity. But as megachurches grow in size and influence, they often begin to resemble corporations more than communities of faith. Transparency decreases, power becomes centralized, and the potential for corruption increases. The fallout is devastating: wounded believers, skeptical outsiders, and a watching world that sees little difference between the church and the broken systems it was meant to challenge.
The Cost of Compromise
When leaders like Morris fall under scrutiny, whether for ethical lapses or questionable practices, it casts a shadow over Christianity entirely which is slowly declining. Many now wonder if there are any sincere pastors and churches that are working hard to serve their communities faithfully, as these high-profile failures are causing widespread damage. Every scandal reinforces a growing narrative that faith leaders are out of touch, self-serving, or manipulative. The damage is two-fold: people inside the church lose hope, and those outside become harder to reach.
Young generations, already skeptical of institutions, are especially vulnerable to this disillusionment. According to various surveys, church attendance is in steady decline, particularly among Millennials and Gen Z. Many cite hypocrisy and mistrust in leadership as their top reasons for leaving or avoiding the church altogether.
Conclusion
The Robert Morris scandal is yet another reminder that The Roman Christianity which was built on pillaging and murders is bearing only wicked fruits which is causing many to no longer believe. as The Messiah once said an evil tree cannot bear righteous fruits, and an evil tree is hewn down and cast in the fire. As it is unraveling, it might be time to entirely dismiss the corrupt tree for a better path which is based on truth not lies, honesty not Theft, in self control not sexual immorality and impudence.
]]>Today, many Floridians are discovering that HOAs (Homeowners Associations) are less of a blessing and more of a curse. In fact, living under an HOA can feel like dealing with a mix between a warlord and a PIMP. You work hard to buy your home, pay the HOAs money they never earned, and just for them to turn around micromanage your life and harass you.
Rules That Make No Sense
The number one reason people in Florida have grown to despise HOAs is the excessive, often arbitrary rules and regulations. These associations seem to operate without accountability, issuing fines for things most people would consider harmless.
Display an American flag on your front door? That could earn you a fine. Leave your garage door open for 15 minutes? Another fine. Take your garbage out just a little later than usual? That’s yet another violation. A friend come to visit and park in front of your townhouse, another fine.
Once you start receiving letters from the HOA, the situation can quickly spiral out of control. The money they collect from you in fees is often used to hire expensive attorneys—attorneys whose job is to fight you, the homeowner.
Assessment Fees: The Ultimate Blindside
Perhaps the most frustrating part of living under an HOA is the dreaded assessment fee. Unlike regular monthly dues, assessment fees can be charged at any time and for virtually any reason.
If the HOA decides that something in the community needs repair or replacement—and they claim there’s not enough money in the budget—they’ll simply divide the cost among all residents. You could suddenly receive a letter informing you that you owe thousands of dollars. If you can’t pay it, the consequences could be severe, including foreclosure.
Florida Offers Little Protection
What makes this situation worse is that Florida law often sides with HOAs, leaving homeowners with very little recourse. It can be incredibly difficult to find legal representation willing to take on an HOA, especially if you’re a tenant or an owner without deep pockets.
Though there have been recent efforts to reform HOA laws in Florida, progress has been slow. The word “HOA” itself has become a red flag for many potential buyers—something that raises more fear than confidence.
Final Thoughts
So, living in a condo or townhouse in Florida should be a dream—but for many, it’s become a nightmare. Until stronger laws are passed to protect homeowners from the unchecked power of HOAs, more and more people will continue to feel trapped in a system that was supposed to serve them, not control them
]]>Now, video footage circulating on social media appears to show Qaani among crowds at a pro-government demonstration in Tehran, following the ceasefire that ended the 12-day conflict between the two countries. In the video, Qaani is seen wearing a flat cap, smiling, and engaging with demonstrators, looking healthy and relaxed.
This public appearance puts to rest rumors of his death and highlights the often murky nature of wartime reporting, where misinformation can spread rapidly in the absence of verified facts.
]]>The truce comes after days of rising tensions and overnight military exchanges, which had drawn deep concern from world leaders. Global markets wavered, oil prices surged, and international airlines rerouted flights as fears mounted that a regional war could spiral into a global crisis.
In Tehran, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed that military operations against Israel ceased at precisely 4 a.m. local time, following what he described as a final wave of retaliatory strikes. “The military operations of our powerful Armed Forces to punish Israel for its aggression continued until the very last minute,” Araghchi stated on X (formerly Twitter), marking the symbolic conclusion of hostilities.
“Alongside all Iranians, I express deep gratitude to our brave Armed Forces, who stood vigilant and ready to sacrifice everything for the defense of our homeland,” Araghchi said in a follow-up statement. “They answered every act of aggression up until the final moment.”
This ceasefire deal brokered by Qatar may have saved the Middle East and perhaps the whole world from a much wider war. World leaders, including those from the UN, European Union, and neighboring Arab states, welcomed the announcement and urged both nations to de-escalate further. While we are yet to see the outcome of this ceasefire, it has provided a much-needed window for diplomacy to prevail.

Not Prepared
For over three decades, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned the world about the growing threat posed by Iran. Given those repeated warnings, one would assume Tehran would have been more prepared. Instead, Iran found itself caught off guard—strategically, politically, and militarily.
After Israel’s stunning and highly targeted strike on Hezbollah that killed several senior commanders, Iran failed to take even the most basic precautions to protect its military leadership. Their movements were predictable, their security protocols lax. Israeli intelligence exploited these weaknesses to devastating effect. One particularly crippling blow occurred when multiple top Iranian generals were eliminated in a bunker—exactly where Israeli analysts had predicted they would meet.
Iran’s strategic failure was not limited to its own borders. Syria, long considered Tehran’s most dependable ally in the region, collapsed with astonishing speed. Israel, in coordination with the United States and local militias, dismantled the Assad regime with relative ease. In the aftermath, the Israeli Air Force destroyed the remnants of Syria’s air force and navy, leaving Iran isolated. A better-prepared Iran would have taken more decisive action to support Assad—perhaps through a limited deployment that would have been just enough to maintain influence without triggering direct confrontation with major powers.
Today, Iran stands alone. Rumors suggest even Hezbollah was reluctant to join the fight. Who can blame them? Israel’s swift campaign against Hezbollah—including the targeted killing of Hassan Nasrallah and a rapid invasion into southern Lebanon—sent a clear message: Resistance would be suicidal.
No Effective Air Force
Despite decades of ambition, Iran’s air force has never approached parity with Israel’s. Much of Iran’s fleet consists of outdated aircraft like the F-4 Phantom, while Israel boasts the cutting-edge fifth-generation F-35 Lightning II and a range of other modern jets. These aircraft can evade Iranian radar with ease, rendering Iran effectively blind in the face of incoming attacks.
Iran has invested heavily in its navy, but naval power alone cannot win modern wars—especially when the skies are uncontested. As history has shown, a navy without air cover is little more than a fleet of floating targets. The smarter move would have been to prioritize building a competent, modern air force.
The Nuclear Question
Iran’s strategic naivety is perhaps best illustrated by its nuclear policy. Tehran repeatedly claimed that pursuing nuclear weapons would violate Islamic principles—a position that may be morally admirable but strategically disastrous.
The pattern is clear: Countries without nuclear weapons—Libya, Syria, and now Iran—are vulnerable to foreign intervention and regime change. North Korea, by contrast, remains untouched. Why? Because it has nuclear weapons, and the will to use them if necessary.
Compliance with international norms and treaties may earn temporary reprieves, but when the day of reckoning arrives, only hard deterrence matters. Without a nuclear arsenal, Iran never stood a chance of deterring a full-scale assault by a technologically superior enemy.
Overreliance on Missiles
Iran’s military strategy has long centered on missile capabilities. Yet in the current conflict, this reliance has proven to be a fatal weakness. Israel and its allies have deployed some of the world’s most advanced missile defense systems, intercepting the majority of Iranian projectiles before they could cause damage.
More importantly, once Israel secured air superiority, Iranian missile sites became easy targets. Satellite imagery and drone surveillance allowed Israeli forces to systematically destroy launch platforms before they could be used. Iran reportedly went from launching over 200 missiles per day to barely managing 5 or 10—a drastic collapse in offensive capability.
Conclusion
Iran did not just lose the war on the battlefield; it lost through decades of poor preparation, misplaced strategic priorities, and ideological rigidity. The decision not to pursue nuclear weapons, the failure to modernize its air force, the overreliance on missiles, and the abandonment of key allies all contributed to its rapid unraveling.
Wars are not only fought with weapons but with foresight. And in this regard, Iran’s greatest defeat was not inflicted by bombs or bullets—but by its own inability to adapt to a changing world
