Iran 1953: How Britain and the CIA Use Covert Operations to Overthrew a Country to Keep Its Oil
Iran 1953: How Britain and the CIA Use Covert Operations to Overthrew a Country to Keep Its Oil Kwabena Ofori Osei 17 Views • 4 months ago

In 1953, Britain and the CIA orchestrated one of the most consequential covert operations in modern history — the overthrow of Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister, Mohammad Mossadegh. His crime? Nationalizing Iran's oil industry and demanding that his country's most valuable resource belong to its own people.
What followed was a masterclass in imperial manipulation: economic warfare, naval blockades, propaganda campaigns, bribed journalists, paid mobs, and a rogue CIA operative who ignored direct orders to abort the mission. The operation destroyed Iran's democracy, installed an authoritarian monarch backed by a brutal secret police, and set in motion a chain of events that led directly to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the hostage crisis, and decades of hostility between Iran and the West that continues to this day.
This is the full story — from the exploitative oil concession of 1901 that handed nearly half a million square miles of Persian territory to a single British financier, to the boardrooms of BP and the backrooms of the CIA, to the tanks rolling through the streets of Tehran. It's a story about oil, power, and what happens when a nation's sovereignty stands in the way of corporate profits.
The CIA didn't publicly acknowledge its role for 60 years. This video explains why.

Malcolm X Fridays - The Malcolm X Foundation
Malcolm X Fridays - The Malcolm X Foundation Kwadwo Danmeara Tòkunbọ̀ Datɛ 17 Views • 3 months ago

Interview with Hakim Jamal, Founder of the Malcolm X Foundation done c. 1968. Jamal discusses the goals of the Foundation and in particular outlines the Foundation's educational efforts by detailing how the schools run by the Foundation are based in part on the educational philosophy of Maria Montessori. History shows us that today, in 2024, we need to do something better for our Black children. They don't only need reading, writing and a love of math, they need to be educated in regaining the love of being from Africa and being a surviving African American in America in 2024.

Maria Montessori was an Italian physician, educator, and innovator, acclaimed for her educational method that builds on the way children learn naturally.

She opened the first Montessori school—the Casa dei Bambini, or Children’s House—in Rome on January 6, 1907. Subsequently, she traveled the world and wrote extensively about her approach to education, attracting many devotees. There are now thousands of Montessori schools in countries worldwide.

Maria Montessori was born on August 31, 1870, in the provincial town of Chiaravalle, Italy. Her father was a financial manager for a state-run industry. Her mother, raised in a family that prized education, was well schooled and an avid reader—unusual for Italian women of that time. The same thirst for knowledge took root in young Maria, and she immersed herself in many fields of study before creating the educational method that bears her name.

Beginning in early childhood, Maria lived in Rome, growing up in a paradise of libraries, museums, and fine schools.

Birth of a Movement
Maria’s early medical practice focused on psychiatry. She later developed an interest in education, attending classes on pedagogy and immersing herself in educational theory. Her studies led her to observe, and call into question, the prevailing methods of teaching children with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The opportunity to improve on these methods came in 1900, when she was appointed co-director of a new training institute for special education teachers. Maria approached the task scientifically, carefully observing and experimenting to learn which teaching methods worked best. Many of the children made unexpected gains, and the program was proclaimed a success.

In 1907, Maria accepted a challenge to open a full-day childcare center in San Lorenzo, a poor inner-city district of Rome. The students were under-served youngsters, ages 3 – 7, who were left to their own devices while their parents went out to work. This center, the first of its kind in the nation, and a high-quality learning environment, became the first Casa dei Bambini.

The children were unruly at first, but soon showed great interest in working with puzzles, learning to prepare meals, and manipulating learning materials Maria had designed. She observed how the children absorbed knowledge from their surroundings, essentially teaching themselves.

Using scientific observation and experience gained from her earlier work with young children, Maria designed learning materials and a classroom environment that fostered the children’s natural desire to learn and provided freedom for them to choose their own materials.

To the surprise of many, the children in Maria’s programs thrived, exhibiting concentration, attention, and spontaneous self-discipline. The “Montessori Method” began to attract the attention of prominent educators, journalists, and public figures. By 1910, Montessori schools could be found throughout Western Europe and were being established around the world, including in the United States where the first Montessori school opened in Tarrytown, NY, in 1911.

Ta-Seti- Land of the Bow | Nubian Archers - Longbow-men of Africa | DOCUMENTARY
Ta-Seti- Land of the Bow | Nubian Archers - Longbow-men of Africa | DOCUMENTARY Kwabena Ofori Osei 63 Views • 2 years ago

A documentary on the Nubian Archers - Longbow-men of Africa.
⁣In this Units of History documentary we explore the story of the Nubian Archers - Longbowmen of Africa. The episode begins with an introduction to the lands of the Nile, its geography, and the entwined development of both Egypt and Nubia. In this context it appears that the Nubian Archers existed from the very start as skilled hunters in southern civilization. Over time they would develop such a reputation that the ancient Egyptians would call the area of ancient Nubia, Tah-Seti, the Land of the Bow. Both the Egyptian Army and the Nubian Army would clash for centuries along the Nile. Such was the threat from Nubia that the Pharaohs began to fortify the region of the first cataract with a series of Egyptian Fortifications like the Buhen Fortress. Yet even still the Nubian Archers could not be stopped and their armies are said to have regularly managed to storm these bastions. The Egyptians recognized the military prowess of the Nubian Archers and quickly hired them as mercenaries in their own armies. This was a trend that would continue with later Empires that interacted with the Lands of Nubia. We talk specifically about what the equipment of these Nubian archers, how they were trained, how they were organized, and how they fought in battle. Finally the documentary concludes with an overview of their service history that would span hundreds of years through the Kingdom of Kerma, the Kingdom of Napata, and the Kingdom of Meroe. Stay tuned for more Units of History episodes and let us know what units you would like to see covered next! I'm excited to also cover more of the history of Nubia and African history in general! For now you can check out our previous episodes on Ancient Egypt and the Roman Invasion of Nubia.
