On the Inconvenience of Truth
Truth doesn’t set you free. It just sets you apart.
People say they love honesty, but what they really love is reassurance wearing honesty’s clothes.
Lies have manners. Truth doesn’t even knock.

The Last Great Conspiracy
What if the world really were as orchestrated as some imagine (every headline prewritten, every tragedy rehearsed, every coincidence a signal in disguise)? The thought stirs something both dreadful and oddly reassuring. If everything is planned, then nothing is wasted. There’s a script, a purpose, a conductor behind the noise. The horror of chaos fades, replaced by the comfort of knowing that at least someone, somewhere, is driving the story.
No, President Mnangagwa Was Not ‘Elected’ To Chair COMESA
There is a special art to sounding grand when saying something quite ordinary. It’s an art Zimbabwean state media has perfected. The latest performance arrived neatly packaged in a ZBC headline declaring that President Emmerson Mnangagwa “has been elected” the incoming Chairperson of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA). The sentence feels triumphant. “Elected.” It rolls off the tongue like a diplomatic … Continue reading No, President Mnangagwa Was Not ‘Elected’ To Chair COMESA
The Manufactured Gender War
They say we are living through a war of the sexes, but if you pay attention, the war feels less like a revolution and more like a stage play.

Yet when you look closer, what emerges is not a natural struggle … Continue reading The Manufactured Gender War
Is Zimbabwe Safe for White Tourists?

Trump’s War On Crime Somehow Excludes Violence Against Women
Donald Trump loves numbers when they suit him. Yesterday on September 8, 2025, at the Museum of the Bible, he leaned back in his chair, and declared victory. Crime in America, he said, had dropped by 27 percent since his return to office.
In Washington, D.C., he bragged that homicides were down 60 percent. He credited himself, his deployment of the National Guard, and his iron will. Then came the line that revealed more than he intended.

Donald Trump ‘The Epstein FBI Informant’ Sounds A Lot Like Uebert Angel ‘The Gold Mafia Spy’
Donald Trump has never been shy about rewriting his own story. On September 6, 2025, The Telegraph reported that Mike Johnson, the Republican Speaker of the House, went on CNN and said Trump had been an FBI informant on Jeffrey Epstein. He said it like it was fact. Neither hesitation nor proof either. The idea that Trump was undercover against Epstein sounds wild. It is … Continue reading Donald Trump ‘The Epstein FBI Informant’ Sounds A Lot Like Uebert Angel ‘The Gold Mafia Spy’
Zimbabwe’s Daily Outrage Industry Keeps the Government Smiling
Every morning in Zimbabwe, the outrage begins like clockwork. A Twitter thread appears: “The government must stop overpriced vehicle license fees!” A Facebook post demands, “Zimbabweans should insist on fair public transport fares!” Somewhere, an activist hashtags a new policy blunder. By midday, the digital landscape is alight with moral imperatives. Ministers scroll past, smiling privately, perhaps even grateful for the free publicity. Our carefully … Continue reading Zimbabwe’s Daily Outrage Industry Keeps the Government Smiling
China’s Parade of Steel and Silence
On September 3, 2025, Beijing’s Tiananmen Square transformed into a formidable stage for a military display that resonated far beyond its borders.
