Well, it was the final day of racing for Garfield Lake Ice Racers near La Porte, but it was also a special day for one little boy. Josh Peterson tells us how a victory lap made a special boy's wish come true. For the Garfield Lake Ice Racers Association, it was a season of high speeds and a close battle for points. But the emphasis on the final day of the racing season shifted to fulfilling a dream for one special little boy.  And following his surgery, he has been given just four to six months to live.  Before the day of racing began, all the race car drivers and crew members were briefed on why the day has taken on a special meaning. When a day where competitiveness takes a front seat, it was Kjeldon who moved to the forefront. Kjeldon's dad greeted the drivers and thanked them for their support. I just want to thank all you guys, Ice Racing community, for helping us out and the local community. You guys have, you guys mean a lot. To make the race day extra special, plans were put together to provide Kjeldon with a very special opportunity that not many kids get to enjoy. We thought it would be great that, you know, Kjeldon and his family could be in a 21 car and be able to do a lap around the track. After the pit meeting, Kjeldon, accompanied by his mom, dad and other family members, loaded into Robert LaRosa's number 21 ice racer and headed on to the frozen track. Providing special moments like this is something the Garfield Lake Ice Racing Association takes pride in offering to the community. I hope it makes it a little easier on the family just to know what kind of support they have from us. After a single lap, line two by two, each ice racer followed behind Kjeldon's racer, marking a special journey around a frozen track with Kjeldon leading the way in his victory lap. In LaPorte, Josh Peterson, Lakeland News. Kjeldon will turn seven years old later this month and his family is looking to take a vacation to the West Coast and Disneyland in the near future. If you'd like to help the family out, we have a link to Kjeldon's GoFundMe page on our website at lptv.org slash news.

The Loon may have a center built in the next couple of years for people to enjoy the animal's history. A big step in the center's production was passed last week and our Anthony Scott has the story. The Loon represents outdoor recreation, spending time with family, and it's something that we treasure and we really want to preserve here in Minnesota. What better way to preserve the state bird than with an educational and interactive center dedicated to the Loon? When people come in we want it highly interactive, so that they're not just reading plaques and and seeing these static displays, but they're actually able to interact with the Loon and with the outdoors. The idea started when a group of citizens from Cross Lake got together to discuss what they could do for the community. Then they were able to get support for the Loon Center from the Brainerd Lakes Chamber of Commerce. The Loon Center would be a treasure we think that would attract people from really all over the United States. Then the Legislative Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources, also known as LCCMR, got involved. The important step that happened just recently is that the LCCMR Commission looked at this project, said it was a great project, bam, yeah four million bucks. The LCCMR is committed to funding special environment and natural resource projects. This is a larger scale project, yeah a lot. I think I'd say the average appropriation is in the neighborhood of a million dollars, so a four million dollar appropriation is significant from the LCCMR. I think this project falls well within the criteria of preserving and protecting the natural waters and environment around us. And the Loon is an animal that needs some protection. The Loon is not on the endangered species list yet, but each year it is becoming more and more at risk, so the hope with this new center is that the public will be more inclined to help protect the state's bird. A lot of people have this idea that the bird is prolific and there's nothing to worry about, but of course there's threats in other parts of the country that are having an impact on population. The proposed location for the center is on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers land at the Cross Lake Campground, a great spot for children to get interested in wildlife. We want to bring our kids somewhere that they can have a good time and then also at the same sort of opportunity to take advantage of that learning aspect. Reporting from Cross Lake, Anthony Scott, Lakeland News. The next step is for the bill to get passed by state legislators and then signatures needed by the governor if approved the Loon Center will not be complete for at least two more years.

Dear learners, today I am going to discuss with you the concept of development and the role of mass media in development and especially the use of communication channels which lead to the concept called developmental communication. The concept of development is centuries old. In fact, it started rather originated in Turkey and from the demographic aspect of development it has come to another stage what we call as economic development. Mostly we consider development as economic development. However, the real concept of development came onto the scene after the Second World War. After the Second World War, many countries of the world got their political independence. Their immediate need was to have economic development, remove illiteracy and poverty from their respective countries. Harry Truman thought of development as a panacea for all the Third World countries. In fact, the very concept of development is given by the western countries to the developing countries. Development as all of us know is measured in economic terms. In fact, many economic theories that have been dealing with developmental concept are prescribing various methods and approaches and strategies for national development especially in Asia, Africa and Latin America. How to develop is the biggest question for the countries that have poverty writ large on their teeming populations. Poverty has got its own vicious circle and to come out of this vicious circle there has to be a national policy and here the real issue comes what exactly is the role of mass media in development. How can we use mass media for development? In fact, it was in India the first attempt was made to use mass media for development. Wilbershram, noted communication expert, came to India at the invitation of Pandit Javarlal Nehru who was the Prime Minister of India then. Two, suggest methodologies for using mass media for national development. In fact, Wilbershram has written a monumental book called The Role of Mass Media in National Development in which he has given the strategies to be adopted, the methods to be followed for the use of mass media in national development. Mostly, we talk of several concepts related to development communication. As a matter of fact, it was development journalism in India, not development communication to begin with. And the role of print media was deliberated upon. But later, when the electronic media became powerful, they were supposed to be used for development. The All India Radio, which was under the control of the Union government, was supposed to play a developmental role in the country and reaching out to the masses which were scattered in remote corners of the country. The question of addressing the issue of poverty or even the issue of illiteracy or even the issue of superstition, there are several sectors which are to be dealt with and media are considered to be very powerful tools of changing the society. Coming back to the very concept of communication for development, certain experiments were conducted in different parts of the world. One experiment or what we call as a research project was carried out by a well-known communication scholar, Daniel Lerner. Daniel Lerner again conducted his research in the monoreligious country of Turkey and he found out there were several factors that were responsible for the usage of mass media for development. He gave five important factors which are to be considered. One was literacy. He said people will have to become literate to take active part in the process of development. And from literacy he talked of political participation. He said literacy will increase the participatory level of the target audience. And thirdly he prescribed urbanization. He said if there is an urbanization then people will move from rural areas to the urban areas in search of education, in search of employment and finally for better standard of living. From urbanization he moved on to what is called as mobility. People move from one place to another, from one profession to another, from one country to another for better opportunities in life. It can be education, it can be employment, it can be health, it can be anything under the sun which will get them a better future. In fact when it comes to mobility we talk of two types of mobility per se that is physical mobility and psychic mobility. Physical mobility means moving from one place to another. Psychic mobility means psychologically moving from one state to another state from the traditional state of affairs to the modern state of affairs. In fact when we talk of development we also talk of modernization, we also talk of social change. A society has to change to become modernized. The question here is whether modernization takes place first or social change takes place first. Or are they going to take place simultaneously in a developing society? This question is to be addressed with lot of conviction and also with lot of precision. And added to these two types of mobility there is one more mobility called social mobility, a person moving in hierarchy, social hierarchy and occupational hierarchy always searching for better opportunities in life. And the other factor which was emphasized by Daniel Lerner was empathy. Empathy means putting oneself into the shoes of another person to understand what he feels, what he experiences. Empathy as a factor is to be incorporated in all communication strategies to make people understand what others feel like, what others want. From these we go to the next important development in development communication, the emergence of a theory called diffusion of innovation. Diffusion of innovation was popularized by E. M. Rogers and he said communication in developing societies or traditional societies is not easy with the target audience because of the credibility factor. Between mass media and the target audience he introduced another factor called opinion leaders. Opinion leaders were the bridge between the media and the audience. For the simple reason they were accepted as credible communicators in the traditional societies. These opinion leaders can be panchayat leaders called them presidents or school teachers or health workers, all these people who interact with the masses every day. And the diffusion theory is also known as two step flow theory in mass communication. In fact E. M. Rogers also speaks of what is called as a subculture of presentry. This subculture which is not accepted by everybody in the field of developmental communication is considered to be the main hurdle for modernization. Modernization simply does not mean westernization, acceptance of western values, western methods and western type of living. It is actually modernization in terms of the thinking process, modernization of technology and modernization of education which makes life comfortable for the millions and millions of people across the world. In fact the latest figures in India suggest that almost 32% of the people in India live below the poverty line. Of course some people say it is 28% but whatever it is, if there are people who go to bed every night without food it is the most amenable condition in any country for that matter. In order to make all these people have access to better life, better opportunities, there should be congenial developmental policies. Development is not a one way traffic, it is a true way traffic. Many people have suggested certain models of development. In fact we talk of the first world, the second world and the third world. All these developing countries belong to the third world wherein the day to day existence itself is a million dollar question for the people who are sending their dreams to a toss because they can't afford. How to give them the basic needs? You know the western models suggested industrialization, they said improve GDP, they said improve the output, the production and you know it was all in terms of production and consumption cycle. Produce more, consume more, get more profit and reinvest them and produce more and again consume more. And what they have understood is the creation of a consumer society. In fact most of the third world countries they do not belong to that kind of tradition. For example India and China were great civilizations once upon a time. And if they are asked to aid the industrialized west in terms of a culture, education and social living everything becomes problematic. Tradition is considered to be a barrier for development, it is not so. One part of development, the most important part is the cultural part of the people. Without ignoring culture of the people you cannot have any developmental strategy, developmental policy. And these developmental strategies are to be changed, revised and fine tuned to meet the aspirations of the people. We also talk of two important problems in developmental communication. One is what we call as the revolution of rising expectations. When people are given dreams they expect things to happen on their own. If their dreams are not met what happens is there is going to be a revolution of rising frustrations. Rising frustrations will lead to anomy, lead to chaotic conditions and lead to violence in a very society. When we adopt a democratic system of development which is totally different from the dictatorial strategies of development there will be problems to be surmounted. How to cross the barriers of development is the biggest question. People in developing countries are always supposed to be resistant to new ideas, changes. We talk of development of innovations and innovations are very important because we have to take the people into confidence. We talk of participatory model of development, we also call it as organic model of development. We have to design messages to reach out to the people so that they will understand developmental communication properly. There is one problem with regard to the developmental strategies initiated by the westerners. Their concepts are always given from the viewpoint of their own societies. In the eastern block, in the eastern hemisphere where the civilizational history is of significance we have to understand that there has to be a different strategy, different policy. How to go about it is the question. The criticism of the western model is very simple because it is consumer oriented. We also talk of what we call as the usage of bits and bytes for developmental revolution. It is not the correct methodology. When we talk of using technology for development it should be appropriate technology. In fact the western models of development they almost exhaust all the resources of the planet and ultimately the future generations may not have anything to deal with. This kind of developmental strategy is questioned by scholars like Beltran, Majid Tehranian and several others. They say the consumer oriented developmental model or consumption oriented developmental model is not what we require. What we require is holistic development, a development which encompasses all aspects of human life. How to achieve this? Without conducting a scrutiny of the western model of development we cannot think of our own model of development. Majid Tehranian talks of developmentalism as an ideology. Development, if it becomes an ism then it loses its sheen, it loses its relevance. Then how to make it relevant? Majid Tehranian talks of the problems given by the western scholars to the developing countries in terms of the models, strategies and technologies for national development. The whole question here is how to surmount these problems to achieve a higher GDP and also keep culture, tradition and all other aspects of these societies into a holistic model wherein we can have a meaningful development. Majid Tehranian talks of several concepts which are quite interesting. One concept he talks of is time consuming acceleration. We go fast, we use communication means, we use all the logistical support systems to go fast but the speed takes time. So similarly the type of development that is suggested by the western countries to the developing societies will also take time. He also talks of routinization and regularization of idiotization of the education system. Education is producing, the present day education system is producing people who cannot think but follow a uniform pattern of learning. And the third one is sick making healthcare system. The western prescription of the healthcare system is making people, even the healthy people sick. So when we talk of bits and bytes as true indicators of development and the energy units as indicators of development, consumption patterns as indicators of development, will it not be deceptive when we talk of developmental indicators. In fact they may not be true indicators of development. Then how to use media for development in a country like India. For quite a long time we talked of radio as the best medium for development. There were experiments in Thanjavur and other parts of southern India where cultivation of a particular variety of rice, paddy was popularized by all India radio. It is even now referred to as radio rice. For the simple reason there was a huge gap between literacy and illiteracy in rural India. Now with improvement in the literacy level radio has turned out to be a medium of music and television is a medium of entertainment perhaps super entertainment. In such a context with the print medium not reaching the vast majority of the people how can we reach out to the masses and prepare them for development. When we talk of western model of development is there any possibility of creating our own model of development. There is always a key debate on the Gandhian model of development. Gandhian model of development means it is taking people into confidence making people as partners in development. In fact it is the creation of village republics where people preside over their own destinies. And Gandhiji said rich people should become the trustees of the society. Gandhiji stressed the importance of life related education. The concept of Nayid Thalim was a particular step towards vocationalization of education. The Gandhian philosophy you know the very concept of Satyagraha is very important. And the nonviolent means to achieve freedom can also be used for the achievement of economic independence for development. Gandhiji's ideas have been misinterpreted. They said Gandhiji was against machines. Gandhiji was against modernization. It is not so. Gandhiji did not want mass production but he wanted production by the masses. So if you understand the economic realities behind the Gandhian prescription of development perhaps you will appreciate it. In fact I would like to quote one British economist Schumacher who wrote the beautiful book Small is Beautiful. Perhaps it talks about appropriate technology for developing countries. Now the world is moving inexorably towards a technocracy that is technology induced democracy. And when technology becomes very important in the world what about the human beings and their role in the society. Dennis Gaulay perhaps a leftist thinker talks of the cruel choice. Development is a cruel choice. What people want is bread. In addition to bread they want dignity. In addition to dignity what they want is the right to dream. Unfortunately in several societies even the right to dream is curtailed. It means the individual liberty is curtailed when governments are becoming very powerful and doing nothing for the society in the process. In other words we have powerful non-performing governments all over the world and it creates a great divide. And the technology has also induced what we call as developmental hiatus or popularly known as the digital divide. And the digital divide has increased the gap between the rich and the poor, the house and the have nots all over the world. And because of the new developmental priorities the world is polarized into two sections of the society where the rich are becoming richer the poor are becoming poorer. If such a situation exists in the long run it is not going to do good for the entire society the entire world. The world is already ridden with violence and we always think of development on one side and the marginalization of the people who sacrifice everything for the sake of national development. In India alone we have come to know that almost 6 crore people have been marginalized during the last several years in the name of development. Such a situation will lead to resistance and possibly violence. This kind of development should not be the alternative. The developmental choices should be given to the people and they should always choose the path of development. So development communication is not easy. Even to this day we have come to know that interpersonal communication channels are stronger than media channels. Many experiments conducted all over the country with specific reference to India they have always made it clear that man-to-man communication is stronger and mass communication plays only a supplementary and complementary role in national development. It does not mean that mass media do not have any role to play. They also play a significant role but unfortunately with the corporatization of media and the corporatization of the media market the developmental strategies are becoming really tough to deal with. And we have to fine-tune them, we have to revisit them, we have to rethink of them and we have to make the best use of the media for taking away the miseries of the people to go to Mahatma Gandhi to wipe tears from the eyes of the poorest of the poor. Yet it remains a billion dollar question on how to make developmental communication effective. Perhaps you and I can think of and devise strategies, communication strategies for development.


he networks that you're in. We can see that there are a lot of networks out there, especially driven by young people who are very excited to hear things which are explained in a language that they can understand. That for us is an eye-opener. We're going to be able to at least try to have more sessions like this where we engage more young people, more young innovators, more entrepreneurs, and actually be able to give them toolkits that can help them in their daily lives. Something practical, something that can be used at the very ground or even at the grassroots. So we're very excited to hear that. All of you are not only innovating, but you're also thinking about impacting the community and impacting your fellow youth. So we are very excited to close the session. Probably we could just look at some comments and be able to throw one or two comments to some of you, because we seem to have excited quite a number of people. Probably just one thing that we can... Richard, oh yes, back to you. Maybe you can tell us how the sector has been able to find a footing during and post-COVID, and what further measures should be taken to enhance innovation in Africa. Richard, are you there? Richard, are you there? If you're not there, we'll just go straight to Petra. Petra also tell us what kind of interventions you're putting towards... What kind of interventions? You're putting towards even pre-covid. Sorry, I'm just speaking the comments from our groups. So I hope you understand if I'm not that relevant with the question. Yes, please come over again. The Interpretion Bureau was intervening when you were asking the question. Okay, maybe you could tell us how the sector has been able to find a footing pre- and post-COVID, and what further measures should be taken to enhance further innovation in Africa. This is in regards to the COVID pandemic, I believe. Okay, in regards to the COVID pandemic, particularly here in my country, the pre-COVID era was that we were not so much into distance learning. That is our government did not really put much concern on distance learning until COVID-19 came in. So yes, until COVID-19 came in, so in 2020, the government called for the implementation of distance learning platform in every school in the country. But now the problem that we face with this calling is that most of the principals, the heads of the schools that are in charge of implementing this objective do not know what distance learning is all about. They don't have the technical and human resources to implement this project. So I think that the government, because quite often when startups come and ask them for proposed them solutions, they would think that they just want to bother them. But if they are the ones asking for it, it means that they have seen the importance. So I think that at the level of the government, they should put in place technical resources and human resources that can train people that can train resource persons that can implement this innovation in order for us to succeed in this sector. Secondly, the problem of access to internet. I think the communication, the communication technology companies should also do something they are already doing like for us here in Cameroon, the Camtel is offering bundles or opportunities that will ameliorate or improve the megabytes of internet, especially in the universities, so that students can do their researches with better megabytes that will permit them to get their results faster. But I think they should do better. I think they should go to the peripheries, go beyond, not just in cities, go beyond, go to those areas that are less favoured. Bring these technical resources, bring these human resources that can put in place these innovations so that the whole case will grow because we cannot talk about collaboration. We cannot talk about partnership when we are not aware of what we are partnering about. We cannot talk about downstreaming innovation or entrepreneurship when the other parts of the country or the other regions are completely left out. So I think that it also calls for government policies. It also calls for stakeholders. It calls for everybody, everyone in the ecosystem. It calls for students. It calls for students to also understand that it's high time. They got interested in what matters most now, the trends, the technological trend in the world. Learn new skills, acquire new skills, not saying that no digital technology is reserved only for genius. No, there's nothing like that. There's nothing like a particular thing being reserved for particular people. We can acquire skills, skills are inborn, they are also acquired from our environment. So I think that's what I feel. And education is the easiest way, sensitizing youth, sensitizing learners, applying and promoting like this here in my country. I think the government is really looking forward to meeting this innovative spirit. Because this year in my country, the National Guidance and Counseling, the team, the roundtable team for the conference team for the National Guidance and Counseling Awards, promoting entrepreneurial skills in school milieu, promoting entrepreneurial mindsets in school milieu. So I think that we are on the trend and I hope that it continues and not just die out in papers. For us, we are bent on continuing whether or without the government support, because the most important thing is to move from idea to trying to connect with the reality if actually your idea can create results in reality. So we will move with or without the government help to our project because we already have partners who are encouraging us. We have also been applying to challenges that have also been giving us motivation, to go up with our project. And if it continues like that, if you continue to work hard, you continue to know that we are the leaders of tomorrow as youth.  I have twins among the three children. I have twins that are just three years old. Even when I was heavily pregnant with them, I was still working for my company. I was still working as a CEO. There was nothing like, oh my God, I'm in a bad mood. No, there was nothing like I would come and say, okay, I'm not talking about collaborators because today my babies in my tummy, my twins don't want me to smile. No. I forged in because I know that it's only by forging in because I think that those challenges are even what give us the motivation because there is some, some school has said that problems are golden opportunities with tons on them. So I think each time we are faced with a problem, we should instead turn it over and look at it as a golden opportunity, and then look for every means to forge on. When you forge on, there are probably people who will see your effort, there are people who will see your results, they will see your impact and then they will come and add to what you already have. I think that's the mindset that we need to have, that's the mindset. You know, that is not only a call for action, it is inspiring in its very self. And coming from someone who has gone through so much in order to create something that works in the environment. I think all of us are going to go home feeling very encouraged and ready to face the challenges that come day to day. I also feel that you have actually given us a reason for fighting for the ideas or the solutions that are constantly flowing in our heads. Because as you have said, there must be a reason for them. And the reason is we need to take action and feelingly and remain on track. And that is really amazing. It's inspiring for everyone, not only someone who's a young innovator and entrepreneur, but anyone, regardless of age, regardless of status. And that is why we hope we'll be having more of these conversations. And this time involves some of those policy makers that we're talking about. You have said it will still be done with or without them. And we would like them to hear that so that they can see how serious it is for them to create an enabling environment for innovators and entrepreneurs. Thank you so much for those words of wisdom Petra. Thank you. Thank you, Ida. Thank you. It's really been exciting to engage with this panel. Seriously, I'm really motivated. This is something I did not expect as moderator, but I have really been inspired even beyond what I thought, even beyond the boundaries that I thought that I had, because I am an innovator as well. I have felt the call to do more and not to do less. And this is because the innovators here are talking about whether it is an enabling environment or not. And it will still be done. They will still do it. And I'm very excited because we meet challenges every day. And these are some of the attitudes that we need to inculcate, not only in ourselves, but in others. As we wrap up, I would just like to draw attention to the fact that the regional good practice report where we highlighted Juneau as a tech hub and as a workspace. It actually showed us that in the Africa region, there are so many good practices. You have heard from Petra of edgy dynamics. Did I pronounce it right? I don't know why I always go back to that. That is really amazing, the work that is being done, even by innovators who have just hit the ground running. And we have also heard from an ecosystem builder, someone who's very serious about building the ecosystem and someone who's also not talking about the talk, but working the work. There are good practices that can be modified and replicated by champions in their own communities to help maintain vibrant digital innovation ecosystems that are conducive to the accelerated digital transformation of society. So that the opportunities inherent in accelerating digital transformation in Africa are crucial. And they require an understanding of the critical enablers and the linkages that are needed to foster ICT centric innovation. So good practices can serve as a basis for strengthening digital innovation ecosystems, as well as promoting regional and international cooperation and partnerships. So we are very excited that this has already been explored and collaboration has already been gained, even from such a session as this. So thank you continue engaging with us, whether on social media or directly when you're able to actually get. I'm sure we will try and share at least the contact person you can share with ideas and also ways and solutions in which it you can collaborate with you to make your innovation or your business a success. So we are very excited about this and continue accelerating digital transformation in Africa. Remember you are crucial to us and remember that we are going to be build this as part of good practices that can serve as a basis for strengthening digital innovation ecosystems. Thank you. Well done and God bless. Thank you. All right. Thank you. Bye everyone. Bye everyone. Thank you so much. You're the best coach. That's your calling either. Yes, you're calling. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. The pleasure was everything. I'm pleased to have met you. Thank you. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye everyone. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye.


Biden countering Islamophobia while incinerating Gaza is the most Democrat thing ever. And what is arguably the most liberal thing ever to have happened in all of human history, the Biden administration has announced its plans to develop a U.S. national strategy to counter Islamophobia, even as it helps Israel massacre Muslims by the thousands in Gaza. For too long, Muslims in America and those perceived to be Muslims such as Arabs and Sikhs have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks and other discriminatory incidents, reads a White House statement on the announcement. We all mourn the recent barbaric killing of Wadiah Al-Fayume, a six-year-old Palestinian-American Muslim boy and the brutal attack on his mother in their home outside Chicago. This comes as the death toll from the U.S.-backed bombing campaign in Gaza near as 10,000, including 3,760 children, in what experts and authorities around the world are describing with increasing frequency as a genocide. If these people were Jewish, instead of Muslim, they would not be trapped in a giant concentration camp where the IDF hammers them with a nonstop barrage of military explosives. But because of their ethnicity, they are subjected to this horror. There's a classic meme which makes fun of the way U.S. foreign policy under Democrats is the same murderous foreign policy as it is under Republicans, but with a bunch of woke-sounding bumper stickers slapped on the surface to make it palatable for progressive sensibilities. And I'll just describe it here. It's a picture of a warplane dropping bombs that says Republicans. And then another one with a warplane dropping bombs that says Democrats, only it's got a sticker of a Black Lives Matter, and yes, she can, and a rainbow flag on it. Can you think of a better illustration of the dynamic that's highlighted by this criticism than what we're seeing from the Biden administration today? This is, after all, the same administration whose Defense Department recently said they are putting zero limits on what Israel may or may not do with the weapons it's being given by the United States. We are not putting any limits on how Israel uses the weapons that is provided. Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh told the press on Monday. That is really up to the Israel Defense Force to use and how they are going to conduct their operations. But we are not putting any constraints on that. As in these Times reports, this same administration is also trying to get permission to conduct arms deals with Israel without congressional supervision and complete secrecy and without accountability to the voting public. The U.S. government is every bit as culpable in the massacre of thousands of Muslim children as Israel because this entire massacre is happening with both its assistance and its express permission. But here is its government pretending to care deeply that one Muslim child was killed by an Islamophobic psycho in America. This is everything that's disgusting about the Democratic Party. It puts a warm, friendly face on the most murderous and tyrannical power structure on Earth, posing as a defender of marginalized groups while dropping bombs on the most marginalized populations on this planet. It selects a high number of women and racially diverse officials for its cabinet positions to convey the illusion that it has transcended the abusive bigotries of the past while subjecting impoverished brown-skinned foreigners to a nonstop barrage of high-tech explosive munitions and massacres that would be the envy of the worst white supremacist imperialists in history. A much more accurate image for the United States than the one it tries to give itself with its fraudulent progressive virtue signaling would be the one it was given by protesters who interrupted Secretary of State Antony Blinken's testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee on Tuesday.  That's what the U.S. Empire really is. Not the liberal bastion of human rights it presents itself as, but a blood-spattered psychopathic murder machine which maintains its domination of this planet with a nonstop butchery of human beings. The longer the massacre in Gaza goes on, the more people are catching a glimpse behind the plastic smiley face mask of the U.S. Empire and seeing the cold-eyed killer underneath.

Share a variety of Night City tunes and a lot more. It's going to be a big one. Save the date. Thursday November 19th 6pm CET. See you on Twitch.tv slash CD Project Red. So this is big news. This is what we all wanted to hear. We needed a new episode of Night City Wire. I mean they've been kind of quiet for a long time now since basically the recent announcement of the delay until December and I said in my previous video we need a new episode of Night City Wire just for basically reassurance purposes because a lot of the community are like what's going on? Why are they so quiet? Will there be another delay? Many things are going around in many people's heads but yes a new episode of Night City Wire was definitely needed and it comes on November 19th. So that's pretty cool people and obviously anything that drops from this Night City Wire episode I will have you covered right here on my channel. But yes guys I just wanted to make a quick video sharing the news with you. So Cyberpunk fans get ready for a new episode. Again November 19th 6pm CET. This drops on a Thursday. Next Thursday to be exact. So that's pretty cool and I cannot wait for it. Again I talk about Johnny Silverhand. Share a variety of Night City tunes and a lot more. So it should be a good one. But that not guys we have come to the end of the video like I said just a nice and sure but sweet one. I hope you enjoyed it I really do and hopefully people I will see you on that next. One.
