WHAT'S THE ISSUE?

WHAT'S THE ISSUE?

Author: By Tomas Yoko
Date: 2025-06-25

Wow, what a month it has been filled with doom, decadence and diplomatic delusion. This week, we're lighting candles at the altar of St. Sanity-because God knows the world needs a few miracles.

Trump Declares World Peace, just like that, Donald the Peacemaker logs into Truth Social, types a few lines, and ends a war. Trump declared, with all the subtlety of a karaoke machine in a monastery, that Iran and Israel have agreed to a ceasefire. "Please do not violate it," he wrote, as though breaking up a playground brawl and warning little Mahmoud and Bibi to behave or go sit in the naughty corner.

No matter that Bibi's response was to drop a poo pile of bombs just to complicate the matter. "They don't know what the %$#@ they're doing." was Donald's next comment. Tehran's "final missiles" were more of a squirt gun salute than an actual threat. The markets swooned anyway. Oil dropped faster than a Kardashian marriage, and Wall Street popped champagne like peace had broken out across the planet.

A ceasefire brokered via social media-this is what happens when geopolitics is outsourced to influencers. But hey, if Trump can get two ancient enemies to hold fire while barely spelling "ceasefire" correctly, maybe next week he'll solve climate change in a TikTok dance.

A man allegedly suffered a deadly brain inflammation after one Covid jab, and suddenly we're back in 2021, only now with extra hysteria and fewer facts. Experts have warned that vaccines may trigger autoimmune encephalitis-may, like I may become Pope if I just dress the part and start waving at crowds.

But the real issue isn't the science, it's trust. We live in an era where people trust memes more than doctors, and where "I did my own research" means watching three YouTube videos between vape hits.

Meanwhile in Britain, Prime Minister Two-Tier-Keir Starmer, the Sabotage Whisperer, has apparently lost control, not of his cabinet, but of the streets. Acts of political sabotage, like defacing statues, smashing shops, and gluing oneself to traffic lights, are increasingly tolerated under the holy umbrella of "progress." As are grooming gangs and illegal immigrants.

You can graffiti Churchill, shut down half of London for a protest, or chain yourself to a sausage truck, and you'll be called brave, not batty. Why? Because the powers that be confuse lawlessness with liberty. Me thinks on purpose.

Back here at home, our SAPS released their quarterly crime stats-and conveniently forgot to include data on violence against women and children. Whoops. In a country where a woman is murdered every three hours, this isn't just an oversight. It's a betrayal. The state loves to talk tough about gender-based violence-until it's time to show the numbers. Then it's crickets.

Why leave out the data? Because numbers don't lie. But when the truth is too brutal, our institutions opt for silence dressed as bureaucracy. "It's still being collated," they say, while women are still being buried.

Until next time, stay sane, stay sharp, and if someone offers you a ceasefire on social media, read the fine print.
