I know when I put stuff out on a public forum like this that it’s like– well- like, anybody can eavesdrop. I mean, you’re listening now, aren’t you? Why do I say something if I don’t want to be heard? I’m glad you’re listening!
But not my girlfriend. I want her to stop. It’s like she’s spying on me. She makes me feel as if she’s gathering evidence. Like we’re both sort of shady, and there’s a crime here somewhere. Would she go through my dresser drawers? If she wants to know stuff, why doesn’t she just come out and ask me? To my face! You know, I never really thought about this before. Not until she– well, let’s call her Karen. It’s not her name but let’s call her that– “Karen” got all angry with me about what I said about my ex-girlfriend on her blog. Which means that “Karen” is not only listening to my blog, but to this other girl’s blog as well. Is that creepy, or what? If she had a blog of her own for me and my friends to listen to, maybe that’d be ok. But as it is, I just don’t see how we can move forward. When she listens to this comment, I know she’s gonna be as pissed as a cat in the bathtub–but, hey! I don’t like being spied on. Or accused. Pull my chain, you get a chain reaction! And what’s with those photos on My Space?

- South Africa Will Be Next After IranIsrael has already indicated through a blog that appeared in the Times of Israel on 2 January 2026, largely ignored by African media, that it would like to see Africa further fragmented, beginning with South Africa. With a US base in Botswana, South Africa probably has very little chance of countering any combined US-Israeli aggression. Its internal divisions are deep, especially along racial lines. White …
- The Cape Of Good Hope Is Open For BusinessInternational shipping groups including Maersk announced on 1 March that they were rerouting vessels bound for the Red Sea via southern Africa. The Cape of Good Hope. That stretch of ocean at the bottom of this continent, the one the Portuguese named and the world has mostly ignored since the Suez Canal opened in 1869, is suddenly the world’s most important shipping detour. When the …
- Burkina Faso, Burundi, DRC, Liberia, MozambiqueBased on factors including fiscal balance, petroleum import reliance, poverty and national wealth, Janes assesses Burkina Faso, Burundi, Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Liberia, and Mozambique to be particularly vulnerable given acute fiscal fragility and high energy vulnerability. The band are the names of the countries on the list of most exposed to the economic fallout of a war they had nothing …
- Nine Countries Cut Interest Rates Before The Bombs DroppedNine African countries including Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt and the Democratic Republic of Congo earlier this year cut interest rates, citing lower inflation, high foreign demand for their local-currency denominated bonds and current account surpluses. Nine countries. Months of careful fiscal management. Coordinated monetary policy. The quiet, unglamorous work of keeping economies stable enough to grow. Then on February 28th the bombs started falling on Tehran …
- The Price At The Pump In MaronderaZimbabwe’s fuel price was $1.54 per litre in November 2025. That was before Brent crude was $61 a barrel. Brent is now above $100 and steadily climbing. Now petrol per litre is USD 2.08. A prolonged conflict or at the Strait of Hormuz could see prices skyrocket toward $120 to $140 per barrel. Zimbabwe’s fuel pricing framework adds government levies, the Strategic Reserve Levy, carbon …
- Since We Are Already Amending, Let’s Dump The Dumb Shit In Our ConstitutionZimbabwe is amending its constitution. Parliament has confirmed it and governing party ZANU-PF has the numbers to make it happen. The public hearings on this issue lasted less than a week across a country of 15 million people, which works out to roughly one hour of democracy per province if you are being generous with the arithmetic. We are doing this since the amendment is …
- Zimbabwe’s CAB3 Will Make A Treasonous Coup Way More Easier If PassedZimbabwe has always had a gift for doing things no one thought to put in the rulebook. We invented the “constitutional coup” before anyone else thought the phrase made grammatical sense. In November 2017 the military rolled tanks to the national broadcaster, a general read a statement off a sheet of paper and, Robert Mugabe was gone by morning. Nobody called it what it was …
