Over 315 years ago, [7/2/1706], Kimpa Vita was burned alive with her son on her back by Catholic missionaries

Kimpa Vita was killed for preaching the return to roots, African/Kongo traditions, and the return to Mbanza-Kongo land now in Congo of her ancestors that was abandoned after the death of the sovereign Vita-A-Nkanga in the famous Battle of Mbwila (Ambuila - 1665).  


Kimpa Vita was killed because she advised the Kongo people to abandon foreign beliefs (Catholicism), and for conducting a spiritual struggle against the Portuguese.

She was baptized with the name of Ana Beatriz when she was a child.  But when he started her fight, she rejected the baptism name and adopted the name, "Kimpa Vita or Kimpa Kya Nvita" which means " *NEW WAY TO MAKE WAR"*.  A war that she considered spiritual.

*Kimpa Vita was burned alive with her son on her back by Catholic missionaries.*

Singer who had oral sex on stage gets men on lead slamming manhood into audience faces Doroth Helena de Sousa Alves, better known as MC Pipokinha, has caused more controversy by forcing two blokes to wear a double-leash and slam their manhood in the faces of audience members In her latest stunt, MC Pipokinha is filmed getting male fans on stage, strapping them into leashes and slamming their manhood into audience members' faces. The Brazilian pop star whose real name is Doroth Helena de Sousa Alves, has become synonymous for weird on—stage antics in recent months. The 24-year-old was recently seen smashing the head of the dad of an influencer into her a**e using her feet during a show, and being dry-humped by two men on stage. And she has now been filmed performing the bizarre act of strapping two very confused-looking blokes to a lead and making them slam their manhood into the faces of the audience. Thankfully, the two blokes were fully clothed, although a later video shows them ...

Is Using Women’s Naked Bodies To Sell Stuff a Sign of Feminist Progress?

Is Using Women’s Naked Bodies To Sell Stuff a Sign of Feminist Progress? The not-so-fine line between clickbait and true empowerment Katie Jgln The Noösphere Katie Jgln Taking to Twitter, they posted a mosaic of 25 different pairs of bare female breasts, of all shapes, sizes and skin tones, as part of its move to normalise the human body in all its many variations. As you can probably imagine, the photo — a censored version of which was also posted on Instagram — has drummed up a massive reaction across social media. Many people called it empowering. Some even implied it’s a sign of feminist progress. But many also felt it was just another shock ad using female nudity to sell products. I have to say; I felt torn the first time I saw it. On the one hand, as a breast owner myself, I fully agree with the message behind this campaign. It’s about time we combat the outdated stigma that our body parts have to look a particular way. On the other, though, huge brands and ad agencies have been ...

The First World War as a Global War

The First World War as a Global War How does a regular war become a world war? It’s a tough question to answer, but asking who fought, what they fought for, and where they fought should give you a fighting chance. What makes a war a “world” war? The First World War began with an assassination in Bosnia, a small place in the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Europe’s Balkan Peninsula. The fight it set off among European states may seem small for the start of a war so big. So how did it happen? The truth is, the First World War was much bigger than just a European conflict. That was true from the very beginning, in August 1914. In the years that followed, it grew even larger. By 1918, most of the world’s population was officially at war, and even the countries that tried not to take sides were getting involved in some way. Let’s look closer at who was fighting, why they were fighting, and where they were fighting. Who fought? Empire vs. empire In August 1914, two large alliances faced off again...
