EPISODE IX – THE SKULLS AND THE SCHOLARS: The Birth of America’s Secret Power Networks
By day, they were students. Young men in stiff collars and ink-stained fingers, reciting Latin in classrooms framed by ivy and stone. They walked beneath bell towers, debated philosophy, and rehearsed the rituals of success. On the surface, they were simply the sons of the Republic’s rising class.

A Nation Pauses: Remembering the JFK Assassination on Its Anniversary
Every November, an old film clip resurfaces on television screens and social feeds: a smiling President John F. Kennedy riding through downtown Dallas, his motorcade gliding past crowds who had waited hours just to catch a glimpse of him. Sunlight flashes off the polished cars, Jackie Kennedy sits beside him in her now-iconic pink suit, and for a moment the scene looks almost cinematic. The early shots of that day feel warm, almost hopeful — a popular young president visiting a major American city on a campaign-style trip.

Let's Talk About Today’s Effects of Colonial Racism and Superiority Complex on an Ordinary Joe in SADC. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
Colonial borders and centuries of imposed hierarchies did not just shape maps; they shaped lives. Over 110 years ago, the line between Namibia and Southern Angola was drawn, scattering communities, breaking lineages, and uprooting people from their ancestral heartlands.
