ThankU Bria for topic and guest, appreciate Professor Chelwa's insight. We will have ONE AFRICA, no more borders, manufacture our own resources. ThankU again.

I once read a long time ago, I think in a book by economist Jeffrey Sachs, that the IMF and/or the World Bank would loan money to non-Western countries without taking into consideration the way that the cultures of those countries dealt with money or the idea of loans, imposing a Western valuation on the process and encountering problems because of it, but instead of examining why, in terms of, again, the potential cultural issues, they would just blame the country for being bad with money or something. Very imperialist view. Thank you, again, Briahna, for a wonderful, educational interview and exchange of ideas. I always learn something new!

I know this episode likely won’t get as many views as your US-centric interviews, but it’s such a good and necessary discussion. Keep bringing these guests on, Brie. With solidarity, a global south viewer and new subscriber.

It's July 4, Independence Day for the USA, when American colonists fought to free themselves from Austerity programs imposed by Britain to service Britain's debt. And here I am today, listening to Africans talk about freeing themselves from taxation without representation, and Austerity Programs imposed by the British Empire (because that's what the Western global hegemony really is: the continuation of the British Empire and British system under different names...A colonial power that uses debt instruments to control peoples.) Probably the most patriotic and truly American thing you can do right now is to stand in solidarity with African peoples struggling against colonial control via debt instruments. This is EXACTLY what we were fighting for over two hundred years ago. We as Americans have forgotten this, due to the perversion of our system by neo-colonialist financialists.

@@fundidoarrojo269 The "British Empire" today is a Stateless entity...Not a nation or a culture...Just as the Roman Empire fell officially in 476 AD, it diffused itself and lived on in the form of the Vatican, Holy Roman Empire, and the Venetian banking system...Became a spiritual and ideological institution taken up and enforced by others. Same thing with the British Empire: it lives on but in another form, and that form is those multinational corporations, banking structures, think tanks, and intelligence agencies all around the world in what is called "The Five Eyes." The US was chosen to be the bulldog, the enforcer, of this system because of its continental largesse and military might. The true head of the British Empire, though, is those scientific institutions that set the tone and narrative that those corporations, banking structures, and intelligence arms enforce. Such as: The Royal institutes of science which create the computer models that are designed to scare people into accepting population reduction and austerity measures. The way to control population is to limit energy and put a ration or limit on how much energy each country is allowed to access. Food and economy are downstream from energy because it takes energy to grow food. When a country disobeys this limit, austerity measures and restrictions are tightened using the World Bank, IMF, Bank of International Settlements, and so on. And if a leader defies this further, then the US intelligence arms and military force is called in to do regime change. This rogue leader is then vilified in the press, to justify to the people of America and the British Commonwealth nations why this leader needs to be deposed. Finally, a coup is instituted, usually by the CIA, MI5, or a combination of both.

Thank you our hero Bri

Thanks for hosting Dr Grieve Chelwa. Great discussion Brianna! Much love from Zambia

Such a great conversation. I'm an RPVC that worked in Madagascar where the French installed dams in my village back in the 60s with the idea of changing from coffee beans (an indigenous high value crop) to rice, a water and labor intensive non native crop). Although the country gained "independence" back in the early 60s, the French control the finances to this day and the Malagasy remain in deep poverty and food insecurity where there is no end in sight. It's a human and biodiversity tragedy on a massive scale. Thank you for bringing this to your channel.

As a Kenyan I think the one thing everyone outside Kenya is missing is that we aren't necessarily opposed to paying higher taxes if it was actually going to improve the nation. It's that the high taxes we are already paying are being blatantly misused and squandered corruptly whether it is needless expensive renovations to government buildings and "furniture acquisitions " running into the high millions of dollars. to creation of unconstitutional positions leading to additional needless bureaucracy that not only adds to the already bloated government wages but also allows extra avenues for corruption. To the ridiculous high numbers of trips abroad taken by the government officials (led by our tourist of a president) accompanied by massive entourages of joy riders. Or the vanity "infrastructure programs that NOBODY ASKED FOR! All this paid for by taxpayers. Meanwhile the government doesn't have money to pay Teachers, doctors, nurses, or providing medical services. However the political class somehow has massive wealth to flex with riding around in impressive convoys and giving millions to "church fundraising". Against this backdrop, they want to increase MORE taxes on us...my blood is boiling as I type this

I love his modesty. Thank you professor !!!

This was a great discussion. It was also very digestible, and explained better than any of the mainstream broadcasters.

GenZs if Zakayo remains in power Kenya's Economy will collapse like that of Sirlanka, Greece, Peru, Lebanon, and Pakistan. He cannot fix this Economic crisis he created.

I listened to this today at the bicycle and motorcycle repair shop here in Nairobi. we need global solidarity against capitalist imperialism. Mr Chelwa you did pretty well in terms of talking about the issues in KE. Ruto has turned out to be absolutely unable to stand up to the west.

I’m no economist but I see the US economy is unwell when so many people are resorting to doing a side hustle at night, like Uber & Door Dash to make ends meet. There are even many articles online on how to make extra money doing side jobs. Nowadays many even use it as their primary jobs while the gig economy provides no benefits. No pension, no 401k company match, no sick days, no vacation days, no nothing.

Thank you for everything you do Briahna. I discovered Bad Faith thanks to Candace Owens. I love listening to all points of view and then make up my mind. And I must say you are very literate on so many subjects. So thank you very much for Bad Faith. Greetings from France 😊
