The American attack on Nigeria turned out to be a flop although it was with the cooperation of the Nigerian government. American bombs hit a village in Sokoto [which the Americans did not know how to spell]. Villagers saw the horizon light up when the bombs exploded. There was a big fire but no one was killed as far as the reporting goes.

Nigeria tried to explain that there has been no massacre of Christians. Why this attack?

Reports within America say that the attack was meant to shore up fundamentalist Christian support for trump in the coming elections. Coming elections was the right time in Christmas.

Mayor Mamdani Condemns Pro-Hamas Chant

In response to a Kew Gardens, NY synagogue's information session about relocation opportunities to Israel, a group of pro-Palestinian (Politico.com article called them pro-Hamas) supporters organized outside this synagogue, and one of the chants was, "Say it loud, say it clear, we support Hamas here." Even Mamdani allies such as NY State Attorney General Letitia James and NY Governor Kathy Hochul condemned the chant for supporting a "terrorist organization." Most of the condemnations accused Hamas of encouraging genocide against Jews, but the fact is that Israel is the one engaged in genocide, not Hamas.

While the other politicians issued swift responses, Mamdani is accused of taking his time. Finally, at a Brooklyn campaign stop for a Congressional ally, Mamdani responded by saying that it "was wrong" and that there was no place in New York City for such hate speech. He referred to Hamas as a terrorist organization.

Who Are the GCC and the A-National OCGFC?

I learned of the Gulf Cooperative Council (GCC) and the A-National Owners and Controllers of Global Financialized Capital (OCGFC) from a MiddleNation podcast with Shahid Bolsen (Venezuela: Reading the Fine Print of Power). In this 40-minute podcast, Bolsen states that he believes that the propaganda that the U.S. is a "bad, unstoppable power" engaging in typical imperialist behavior is not true because the U.S. is no longer the superpower that it once was all those years ago.

Global Western conflicts and competition for control of the world's resources are so 20th century. The 21st century is about organized coordination or collaboration of private equity. The A-National OCGFC is a "floating imperialist network", according to Shahid Bolsen.

I found a blog written by Aryaan Lambe (The Nationalistic vs A-Nationalistic OCGFC: Understanding the Shifting Power Landscape) that goes more in-depth about the GCC and the OCGFC. The OCGFC represented America's ideology. It carried out missions, including disrupting overseas governments, all for American interests. But the A-national OCGFC is not nationality-based. It is a conglomerate of private investors (i.e., Black Rock, Vanguard, State Street, etc.) who control the world's money. Multinational banks, tech giants, and large developers are also in this mix.

The A-National OCGFC is who President Trump is taking orders from, according to Shahid Bolsen.

The GCC comprises the Gulf Arab states: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. These countries also operate under monarchies, which is kufr. The GCC is headquartered in Riyadh, Arabia. The GCC funds the imperialist efforts, including the invasion and kidnapping of Nicolas Maduro and his wife from Venezuela, according to Bolsen.

The A-National OCGFC prioritizes global stability only because it means more money for them. They know that more people means more workers, which means more profits for them. This is why their focus is on the Global South (Asian, African, and Arab countries), where population growth is surging, unlike in European countries.
Yes, particularly Muslim countries are where these population growths exist, which means the A-National OCGFC views these countries as the future markets, employees, and production hubs for them to execute their master capital growth plan.

They want to create consumption-driven economies in these countries. Once again, this is a Western-based organization, and greed is the catalyst. However, Shahid Bolsen stated that although the common belief is that the U.S. invaded Iraq to control its oil but the majority of the oil companies there are Russian and Chinese owned!

Bolsen said that given that President Trump's focus is on the Gulf areas of the world and being in line with the A-National OCGFC, Trump's efforts ultimately are to contribute to America's loss of power. He said that the invasion of Venezuela (and now Trump's threatening Greenland) is all an illusion.

In Aryaan Lambe's article, the happiness of the world's population plays a role in generating the A-National OCGFC's wealth; its members are more inclined to listen and respond to the people's unhappiness, not for moral reasons but to ensure profits.

The article notes that boycotts and collective economics matter more than people realize. The economic impact of the Boycott, Divest, Sanction (BDS) movement against Israel is a great example of leverage. Unfortunately, even with the GCC, Muslim communities and other marginalized communities in Western societies have not taken advantage of pooling their resources. Although many Muslim communities in the West rely on the GCC for funding (i.e., the Islamic Cultural Center of NY), these Muslim communities remain disconnected from its network due to internal hostilities toward the GCC.

Islamically speaking, we must break free of the GCC/A-National OCGFC. According to Lambe, it would require:
  1. Economic sovereignty - control our own economic resources.
  2. Political independence - Freedom from external political domination and
  3. Psychological decolonization - Free our mindset from dependency and inferiority complexes.

As Muslims, Allah is our only Helper. No one else.

ALLAH the Almighty says...

*AHAD* !*AHAD!* ~ *BILAL*(R.A.)~STEADFASTNESS REWARDED~{ EXCELLENT }~{ HEART WRENCHING }~

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rehmat Ullahi Wa Barakatuh'.

Bilal (Radhiyallahu Anhu) is one of the
Best known of the galaxy of 'Sahabah'
as 'Muezzin' of the
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ~ 'Masjid' he was an Abyssinian slave of a disbeliever in Mecca.
his conversion to Islam was, naturally, not liked by his master and he was, therefore, persecuted mercilessly.
Umayyah bin Khalaf, who was the worst enemy of Islam, would make him lie down on the burning sand at midday and would place a heavy stone on his breast, so that he could not even move a limb...!
he would then say to him...
'Renounce Islam or swelter and die.'
Even under these afflictions,
Bilal (Radhiyallahu Anhu) would exclaim...

'Ahad' ~ The One ~ Allah !
'Ahad'~ The One ~ Allah !
he was whipped at night and with the cuts thus received, he was made to lie on the burning ground during the day to make him either forsake Islam or to die a lingering death from wounds {!}
The torturers would get tired and take turns, Abu Jahl, Umayah and others and would vie with one another in afflicting more and more painful punishments, but Bilal (Radhiyallahu Anhu) would not yield {!}
{'Subhan Allah'}
At last Abu Bakr (Radhiyallahu Anhu) bought Bilal's (R.A.) freedom, and he became a free Muslim...!
As Islam taught implicitly the oneness of the Almighty Creator, while the idolaters of Mecca believed in many gods and goddesses with minor godlings, therefore Bilal (Radhiyallahu Anhu) repeated...

'Ahad (The One), Ahad (The One).'

This showed his love and devotion to Allah.
Allah was so dear to him that no amount of persecution could distract him from reciting His Holy name.
It is said that the urchins of Mecca would drag him in the streets, with his words 'Ahad' 'Ahad ' ringing in their wake.

Look how Allah rewarded his steadfastness...!
he was to have the honor of becoming the PROPHET ﷺ~ Muezzin !
he was always to remain with him at home and abroad to call out the Azan for his 'Salat'.

After the Prophet's (peace be upon him) death it became very hard for him to continue his stay in Madinah where he would miss him at every step and in every corner...
he therefore left Madinah, and decided to pass the rest of his life striving in the path of Allah.

Once he beheld the Prophet (Sallallahu `Alaihi Wasallam) in his dream saying to him...
'O, Bilal ! How is it that you never visit me ?'
No sooner did he get up than he set out for 'Madinah', and upon reaching there, Hasan and Husain (Radhiyallahu Anhuma) ~
PROPHET ﷺ~ grandsons requested him to call out the 'Azan'.
he could not refuse them, for they were very dear to him.
But as soon as the 'Azan' was called, the people of Madinah cried openly out of their anguish at the memory of the happy old days of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ~ time.
Even the women came out of their houses weeping...!
Bilal (Radhiyallahu Anhu) left Madinah again after a few days and died in Damascus in 20 A.H.

Notes:
The great devotee and Muezzin of PROPHET( SALLALLAHO `ALAIHE WASALLAM) the courageous and beloved Abyssinian by the name of Bilal Habshi (Radhiyallahu Anhu) passed away in the middle of reading the 'Azan' in Damascus, Syria between the years 638 and 642 (AD).
This was the second time after the death of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ~
that Bilal~( Radhiyallahu Anhu) recited the Azan.

*ABU BAKR SIDDIQ (R.A.) TO UMAR (R.A.) ON HIS DEATHBED*{EXCELLENT ADVICE}~*{CURSED IS THE MAN WHO DIES BUT..? }~

Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam `Ala Rasulillah.
************************************************
As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu.

Abû Bakr Al-Siddîq (Radiallahu `Anhu) to 'Umar (Radiallahu `Anhu) on his Deathbed .

When Abû Bakr Al-Siddîq (Radiallahu`Anhu) was on his deathbed he called 'Umar (Radiallahu `Anhu)
[Allah be pleased with them both] and said...
'Fear Allah O 'Umar, and know that Allah has deeds to be done for Him in the day which He will not accept if done at night !
and He has deeds to be done for Him at night which He will not accept if done during the day !
He will not accept extra (Nâfilah) deeds unless you fulfill the obligatory deeds.
The scales of those whose scales will be weighty on the Day of Resurrection will only be weighty because they followed the truth in this life and it was weighty to them.
And scales in which the truth will be placed tomorrow truly deserve to be heavy.
And the scales of those whose scales will be light on the Day of Resurrection will only be light because they followed falsehood in this life and it was a light matter to them !
And scales in which falsehood will be placed tomorrow truly deserve to be light !
Allah the Exalted has mentioned the people of Paradise and mentioned them in the context of their Best Deeds !
and overlooked their evil deeds !
so when I remember them I say to myself...
I fear that I will not be included with them !
And Allah the Exalted has mentioned the people of Hell and mentioned them in the context of their worst deeds and rejected their best deeds, so when I remember them I say...
I hope I won't be amongst them !
Allah's worshipers should always be in a state of hope and fear.
they shouldn't wish flimsy wishes about Allah and neither should they despair of Allah's Mercy.
If you keep to this advice of mine, no one who is not with you now should be more beloved to you than DEATH !
and, it is sure to come to you !
But...if you disregard this advice, no one who is not with you now should be more hated to you than DEATH !
and you cannot escape it'.
{Subhan Allah}
