In the early 80's President Bohta was becoming paranoid about the growing unrest in the townships Project Coast was hatched to develop a biological and chemical warfare Program which would not only suppress the townships but act as a weapon in war. Project Coast involved 200 staff and cost one hundred million rand.

The Roodeplaat Research Base, 15 km north of Pretoria was the centre for the research. The labs were top secret and highly protected. Inside scientists were working on the ultimate chemical, biological weapon which would be small, undetectable and cause paralysis of the muscles or death. Dr. Goosen who headed the biological Program says 'the weapon Placed in the wrong hands could have killed millions'. However luckily the project was disbanded in the early 90's when power was handed over to Mandela.

When you forgive without justice, the injustice and inequality increases and you reward injustice - Nana Amos N Wilson...Africans continue to reward Racism.

The European is now claiming he is a White African. This goes to Nana Amos N Wilson saying that the European plans to never give up social control of African people.

African people are heavily Christian, and many treasonous older Black people abuse children, undermine children and kiss European ass. The African parents under European rulership is a tool of White Hegemony!!

From 1904 to 2024....100 years of the glorification of the Abuse of African children. From putting African children in Zoos to now putting African boys in dresses and to allowing Europeans and UN workers to go to African and sexually brutalize African boys and girls.

"Blue Note: A Story of Modern Jazz," directed by Julian Benedikt and released in 1997, chronicles the influential history of Blue Note Records. The documentary highlights the contributions of founders Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff, two German-Jewish immigrants who started the label in 1939 in New York. Despite language barriers and limited resources, they recorded numerous jazz legends such as Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, and Thelonious Monk.

The film combines concert footage, rare archival materials, and interviews with musicians and industry figures, painting a vivid picture of Blue Note's role in shaping modern jazz. It emphasizes the label's commitment to artistic excellence and its cultural impact, earning critical acclaim and several awards, including a Grammy nomination for Best Long Form Music Video in 1997 [[❞]](https://www.medici.tv/en/jazz/....blue-note-story-mode [[❞]](https://mubi.com/en/us/films/b....lue-note-a-story-of- [[❞]](https://www.euroarts.com/tv-li....cense/0567-blue-note

African people seem to be lacking a culture. This man would not have been allowed to walk around in Jean Jacaques Dessalines Haiti.

Hopefully Haiti bounces back hard
