In the late 1980s, Japan was on track to overtake America as the world's dominant economic superpower. Its companies were buying up Manhattan, its cars were crushing Detroit, and its stock market represented nearly half of all global equity value. Serious economists predicted Japan would be number one by the year 2000.

Then it all stopped. For thirty years.

This is the story of how the Plaza Accord, reckless monetary policy, the largest asset bubble in modern history, zombie banks, demographic collapse, and political paralysis turned the world's most dynamic economy into a cautionary tale that still haunts policymakers today.

From the postwar miracle to the moment Tokyo land was worth more than all of California — and the devastating crash that followed — this is the full, unfiltered story of Japan's Lost Decades.

The Psychosis of Whiteness, Black Power & the Global Struggle for Justice | Kehinde Andrews on The Tea with Myriam Francois.

Is the world trapped in a dangerous delusion? In this uncompromising conversation, Professor Kehinde Andrews breaks down the “psychosis of whiteness”, exposing how deep-seated myths about race sustain global inequality. From the failures of diversity schemes to the rise of far-right politics, from Trump’s return to power to the new wave of Black radical thought, he argues that true change won’t come from within the system—it demands revolution.

What does Black liberation look like in a world still shaped by empire? Can Pan-Africanism offer a real path forward? And is China a counterforce to Western dominance—or just another empire in disguise?

Join Myriam Francois for a fearless discussion that connects race, politics, and global power in ways few dare to.

In a recent conversation with Sister Dr. Afiya Mbilishaka, Tariq Nasheed @Tariq Radio made a claim concerning the extent to which Omowale Malcolm X was 'rejected' by Afrikans on the continent, during his visits of 1964. The claim has been repeated so often, that I figured it was time to subject it to #ThePanAfrikanQuestion treatment.... Check it out.

In a move that has shocked the international community but rallied supporters of African sovereignty, Ibrahim Traoré’s government in Burkina Faso has officially dissolved 118 NGOs and civil society groups. Is this a necessary step for national security, or a crackdown on dissent? Today, we dive deep into the "Western Version" vs. the "Burkina Faso Reality."
[What’s Happening?]
On April 15, 2026, the Burkinabé Ministry of Territorial Administration announced a massive sweep, revoking the licenses of over 100 organizations. While Western headlines call it a threat to democracy, the government in Ouagadougou points to a 2025 law aimed at protecting national sovereignty and ending foreign interference during a time of war.
[Key Topics Covered:]
• The Dissolution: Why 118 groups were targeted and what the July 2025 law actually says.
• Sovereignty vs. Security: Understanding Traoré’s stance that "Western democracy is a stick used against Africans."
• The NGO Paradox: How foreign-funded groups are being scrutinized for "administrative errors" and "data security" concerns.
• The Frontline Reality: Why the junta believes "total freedom" is a luxury during an existential fight against terrorism.
Pinned Comment
"Is Traoré right to prioritize national security over Western-style civic freedom, or is this going too far? Let’s discuss in the comments—keep it respectful! 👇🌍 #burkinafaso #ibrahimtraoré #africansovereignty"

In my household, we pride ourselves in the work of our hands. We believe that for as long as the rain falls and our health does not fail us, we will work and we will not go a day hungry because our fields will provide.

From a young age, we are introduced to the daily chores at home and are taught how to work the fields, when to plant and sow, when to plough and repeat. I am forever grateful for my upbringing and I will always be grateful to my mom for instilling our ways in us, from a young age and for being able to house and take care of all 27 of us. #thegreatharvest #villagelife #namibia
