Modern technology relies upon a mineral found in the Congo. Is our appetite for the latest gadgets fuelling rebel fighting in the Congo - threatening the survival of central Africa’s great gorillas?

On the inside of many devices like mobile phones and laptops is the mineral ‘Coltan’, which has made our gadgets smaller and more complex. In the mineral-rich Congo, armed militia watch over the children digging this mineral from the ground. “"The government only pretends to help us"” says one miner, who pays a government official just to work. “"The Congo is a shifting sands of various militia, the largest of which is the Congolese state itself”," explains an expert on blood minerals.

Yet the miners depend on the little they get from mining to survive. Electronic giants like Apple now claim they will no longer use Coltan from this area but experts are convinced the militias will “smuggle it onto the market” regardless. For local miners, the move away from African minerals is “just another way of penalising Africans”. Coltan fuels a conflict, which has seen national parks become war zones, gorillas killed for meat and hundreds of houses set on fire in turf wars over mineral territory. Yet it also feeds 400,000 petty traders. Why did it take a mobile phone to make us appreciate the injustice in the Congo?

Eric Laithwaite's Reality-Defying 1974 Lecture on Gyroscopes
Eric Laithwaite's Reality-Defying 1974 Lecture on Gyroscopes Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 50 Views • 5 years ago

In #AntiGravity Part 3, I have uploaded THE “controversial” 1974 Lecture on the overlooked properties of Gyroscopes by Eric Laithwaite that not only defy everything we know about gravity but defy everything we pretend to know about our very reality itself! This was the 4th of 6 lectures he presented in 1974 as part of UK’s flagship and nationally televised “Christmas Lectures”. His lecture series was titled “The Engineer Through the Looking Glass” following the theme of the famous book “Alice in Wonderland”. The 4th lecture was titled “The Jabberwock”, whom was a monster with many heads that Eric considered a good resemblance of the way the sciences are broken down, the dogmatic “scientific” establishment, and the very man-made “Laws” of Physics themselves. Indeed Eric Laithwaite is very accurate in depicting the state of the “scientific community” then and now as a sort of monster; and the subsequent disgraceful treatment he received for outright shattering many long held beliefs regarding objects in rotation proves just that.

In this lecture, Eric Laithwaite performs a series of mind-boggling experiments that prove gyroscopes, or spinning objects in general, move (or “precess”) with no angular momentum, no centripetal force, and infinite acceleration! Essentially, objects in rotation have mass, velocity, but behave as if their mass is displaced “somewhere” thus resulting in no angular momentum. While this may appear as “gravity defying”, I see if more along the lines that our “understanding” of “gravity” needs a serious re-evaluation. Literally what is this sorcery?? From lifting 20+ pound spinning wheels with a finger or two, heavy gyro wheels balancing UPSIDE DOWN, balanced wheels RISING after spinning, and little children appearing to have super human strength, Eric proves behind a shadow of doubt that there is much more to reality than we would have even deemed possible. But even above the wonders of reality, a simple toy gyroscope exposes the massive multi-year (possibly even multi-centuries or even longer) “scientific” establishment coverup. If the mechanics of a gyroscope have been for so long, and seemingly so easily, covered up, what OTHER sciences and/or technologies are being kept from us?? #FreeEnergy #Telepathy #SpaceTravel

The original upload can be viewed at the Royal Institution’s official website:

The link between electricity, magnetism, and gravity may very well be staring in our face. And one aspect of the gyroscope that Eric mentioned briefly that deserves close attention is obtaining electricity or “radiation” from a gyroscope. This is touching upon Bruce DePalma’s N-Machine territory, which involves a large magnetic gyroscope. Time to get yourselves some spinning wheels and investigate our hidden (and actively covered) reality for yourself!

93% of STEM Majors are NOT Black
93% of STEM Majors are NOT Black Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 50 Views • 5 years ago

For any problem, you fix the problem at the root, the source. For anything you want to create, you start at the root, the source, because everything flows from there. Here, I present some cold, hard, statistics on whether or not there is a talent shortage for black Americans in top companies and whether or not this issue should even be framed as a problem to be solved.

CEADA y José Eulícer Mosquera Rentería: Los Grandes Retos Que Debe Resolver El Pueblo Afrocolombiano
CEADA y José Eulícer Mosquera Rentería: Los Grandes Retos Que Debe Resolver El Pueblo Afrocolombiano CEADA 50 Views • 5 years ago

El Ciclo de Conferencias de Estudios africanos y de la Diáspora Africana [CEADA] invitan a la conferencia “Los grandes retos que debe resolver el pueblo Afrocolombiano” presentada por José Eulícer Mosquera Rentería.



Al estudiar las causas de la problemática de los Afrocolombianos, encontramos que básicamente está determinada por una dinámica que ha prevalecido en la sociedad colombiana, desde la colonia hasta nuestros días, mediante la cual, producen capital para otros y no les permite producir capital para sí mismos, manteniendo a estas comunidades en un proceso de descapitalización permanente y en los límites de la marginalidad social. Lo que preocupa no solo es la pobreza marginal del pueblo afrocolombiano, y la discriminación a que son sometidas sus gentes, la cual no sólo se manifiesta en actitudes de las mayorías de las otras etnias o grupos sociales blanco - mestizos colombianos, sino, además en las escasas y restringidas posibilidades ofrecidas tanto por el Estado, como por la empresa privada; esto aun cuando han pasado más de dos siglos de ruptura con la colonia y de nacimiento de la República.

De manera documentada, desde la trata de personas y su esclavización hasta la colonia, desde las campañas independentistas hasta la formación de la República, desde los albores de la República hasta la situación contemporánea del estado colombiano. José Eulicer se embarca en un diagnóstico y nos cuenta sobre los grandes desafíos que debe resolver el pueblo afrocolombiano.

José Eulícer Mosquera Rentería, es un docente-investigador en las áreas de ciencias sociales, economía y filosofía, con más de 30 años de experiencia, con entidades estatales, privadas y ONGs. Es director del Centro de Estudios e Investigaciones Sociales Afrocolombianas, CEISAFROCOL, desde 1988. Ha realizado estudios universitarios en economía, educación para la interculturalidad, ciencias Sociales y Filosofía en Colombia, Rusia y España (Escuela de Economía de Moscú, Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, Universidad de la Sabana, Bogotá, Universidad Complutense de Madrid). Ha publicado 23 libros y folletos y más de un centenar de artículos, entrevistas y conferencias en periódicos, revistas, la Internet, radio y televisión. Nació en Andagoya, Chocó, Colombia y actualmente es Candidato al Congreso de la República.

[ENGLISH]

“The great challenges that the Afro-Colombian people must solve” presented by José Eulícer Mosquera Rentería.
When studying the causes of Afro-Colombians' problem(s), we find that it is basically determined by a dynamic that has prevailed in Colombian society, from the colony to the present, through which they produce capital for others but do not allow them to produce capital for themselves, keeping these communities in a process of permanent decapitalization and the limits of social marginalization. What is worrying is not only the extreme poverty of Afro-Colombians and the discrimination to which their peoples are subjected, which is not only manifested in the attitudes of other ethnic groups or social groups such as whites and mestizos but also the scarce and restricted possibilities offered by both the State and the private sector; even when more than two centuries have passed since the break-up with the Spanish Empire and the birth of the Republic.
Documenting, from the trafficking of persons and enslavement to the colony, from the independence campaigns to the formation of the Republic, from the dawn of the Republic to the contemporary situation of the Colombian state. José Eulicer embarks on a diagnosis and tells us about the great challenges that the Afro-Colombian people must solve.



José Eulícer Mosquera Rentería is an educator-researcher in social sciences, economics, and philosophy, with more than 30 years of experience, with state and private entities and NGOs. He is the director of the Center for Afro-Colombian Social Studies and Research, CEISAFROCOL, since 1988. He holds degrees in economics, education for interculturality, Social Sciences, and Philosophy from universities in Colombia, Russia, and Spain (Moscow School of Economics, Cooperative University of Colombia, Universidad de la Sabana, Bogotá, Complutense University of Madrid). He has published 23 books and brochures and more than a hundred articles, interviews, and lectures in newspapers, magazines, the Internet, radio, and television. He was born in Andagoya, Chocó, Colombia, and is currently a candidate for the Congress of the Republic.
