If I was to write my autobiography I would announce that one of the saddest features I have found in the history of civilisation is how the non-Western, non-Caucasian races that exist in the former colonies still accept psychological subjugation to the anthropological, cultural and philosophical narratives of the Caucasian, Western world.

It is a mental trait in post-colonial people that maybe defy scholarly explanation and maybe for which there will be no explanation. India, one of history’s great civilisations prefers its film stars and flight attendants to be lily white. The Trinidadian Prime Minister, Keith Rowley, frowned on the Russian COVID-19 vaccine, preferring to wait for the one produced by Western countries.

The European nations colonised the non-white world and refuse to treat non-white people with the same preferential mind that they extend to the Ukrainians. Ukrainian refugees are pouring into Western countries by the millions but the European Union and the UK got Tunisia and Rwanda to take non-white refugees that Europe should be taking. Europe and the UK are not sending Ukrainian refugees to Tunisia and Rwanda.

The USA is the most powerful and richest country in the world and it finally got an African-American President, Barack Obama, which the entire world rejoiced over. Yet he did absolutely nothing for his race of people and the non-white races of the world. In fact, under his presidency, more Hispanics were deported than under Trump. Do we want another Afro-American President in the US? The most anti-immigrants politicians in the UK Conservative Party are two Africans and two East Indians.

Are we going to see arrival of philosophical consciousness among the non-white races of the world after the year 2023? The entire foundation of Western values came crashing down for the human race to see in 2023. All the values the Western countries foisted upon the post-colonial world lay shattered after their support for the genocide in Gaza.

I honestly thought that Ireland would have been different but the Western world after Gaza stood firmly united in its attitude to the non-White races on Planet Earth.

The new imperialism, born after 1945, crashed into pieces after the Gaza genocide last year. What is the new imperialism? After independence, the West designed institutions to continue its hegemony in the post-colonial world. The list included the IMF, World Bank, Lomé Convention, Security Council of the UN, and World Trade Organisation. Through these forums, the West was successful in determining the shape of post-colonial economies.

But it was not only inter-governmental bodies on the international scene that perpetuated the new imperialism. Many international organisations were established to maintain Western hegemony. In this context, we can cite two such manifestations of the new imperialism – Transparency Institute (TI) based in Germany and Reporters Without Borders in France (RWB).

Do you know what these two organisations do? Their sole purpose is to monitor the entire developing countries and not Europe, the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel. So TI monitors the Third World for corruption in government in the developing world. RWB researches lack of press freedom in the developing world.

When, Barbados Prime Minister, Mia Mottley was asked by the Western press about corruption, she gave an impeccable answer. The two best answers I have seen the past 50 years between a head of state and a Western leader is Mottley’s and the other was the absolute put down of President Obama when he told the Kenyan President about the need to observe gay rights in Kenya.

Ms. Mottley simply asked the journalist who says corruption does not exist in Western governments and why they don’t ask about that. Are there more senators like Menendez in the US? Is it possible that Menendez was exposed because his alleged corrupt transactions were with Egypt and not a White country? Are there senators who have illegal dealings with Israel? Yes, there are.

RWB has been completely silent since the genocide in Gaza began with the entire media community, not one of two media houses, but the entire Western media supporting Israel. The Western media are bombarding the world with tales of babies’ head cut off and women raped when Hamas militants went into Israel.

Ray McGovern, one of the longest serving CIA analysts said he does not believe the claim of multiple rapes by Hamas because as a long standing analyst, he does not believe militants go in to fight in Israel, have time to engage in such action while the Israeli soldiers are in their way. McGovern believes that the rape claim is a way of securing support for Israel’s action in Gaza. The new imperialism in the Third World has suffered a mortal blow after Gaza. Can it recover?
