AVZ Discussion 2022

[OmarsCominYo]

19 minutes of pure comedic hyperbole.

All while, as was reported back in February:

"Switzerland's largest bank freezes Tshisekedi family funds estimated at $8 billion, but experts suspect some of the fortune is in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. The funds blocked in Switzerland are suspected of being linked to opaque transactions and the misappropriation of natural resources, particularly in the mining sector, which represents a significant part of the Congolese economy."

https://vacradiointernational.com/2...fortune-se-trouve-au-qatar-et-aux-emirats-ar/

That figure is more than 10% of the estimated 2025 GDP of the DRC...

Those funds might have contributed somewhat in helping to build the "modern, safe and respected Congo" he heralds in the video.

Isn't Iggy Bliss a DerGeist nom de plume? I always thought it was.

Anyway folks, I'm off overseas for a month to escape this cold. So no Friday Funnies from me for a while. If I can I will but it's up to the usual suspects to cover that one.

Don't be naughty. Keep it clean. I'll see you when I get back.

Spike out.

I hope the Fat Fuck can keep his head above water to get these mineral deals signed...hope all the truths of his rampant abuse of public funds would not become mainstream until the deal between the yanks is sealed..

Within the last couple of weeks someone posted a link to an article of how corruption is a way of life, and “expected” amongst DRC high ranking officials.

Can anyone remember it and re-post it so I can add to my links. I’m sure the United States along with everyone else is sick of the corruption and lies continuing, including this bullshit from less than a month ago

US-DRC mineral-security agreement: Tshisekedi appoints a coordination to accelerate the mining deal​

Last updated: 06/03/2025 at 10:59 PM

The President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Félix Tshisekedi, has set up a special coordination of experts responsible for leading discussions with the American administration as part of the strategic partnership "minerals against military support". This deal, crucial for Kinshasa, aims to strengthen the country's security capabilities in the face of armed conflicts in the East, and to structure relations with Washington within the framework of the peace agreement under the aegis of the United States with Rwanda.

Mixed coordination to structure a strategic partnership
This coordination's mission is to formalize and accelerate negotiations on this mining and security partnership. It consists of three personalities from the President's office, including two ministers:

Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs;

Kizito Pakabomba Kapinga Mulume, Minister of Mines

as well as Guy-Robert Lukama Nkunzi, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Gécamines SA, the largest public mining company in the DRC.

Legal expertise integrated into the process
Coordination is also strengthened by high-level legal experts, including Me Pascal Agboyibor, associate lawyer at ASAFO & CO, recognized for his expertise in the energy, mining, infrastructure and project development sectors in Africa.

A technical secretariat, supported by a group of 22 experts, will support this team. Their role will be to produce regular reports on the progress of the negotiations, as well as on the results of the implementation of the agreement.

Cominière SA (public company in the mining sector) and the Mining Cadastre are among these technical experts.

For Kinshasa, this step is strategic. The aim is to accelerate discussions and support the concrete implementation of the DRC-USA partnership.

This coordination reinforces the actions already undertaken by the presidency, which relies in particular on the services of the American lobbying firm Von Batten-Montague-York. This firm acts as an intermediary between the Congolese authorities and the American administration, including that of Donald Trump, in order to advance the diplomatic process.

A strategic agreement, but under conditions
The agreement long awaited by Kinshasa aims to stabilize the conflict regions, while enhancing the country's strategic natural resources. But for it to bear fruit, several conditions must be met:

• Transparency of negotiations;
• Respect for the Congolese legal framework;
• And above all, the ability to guarantee equitable economic benefits for the entire Congolese population.

Here's the English translation of the press release:
PRESS RELEASE N° 18 OF JUNE 30, 2025.
The Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo inform national and international opinion of the interception, this Monday, June 30, 2025, by our military radars, of an unidentified aircraft that violated our airspace and illegally penetrated Congolese territory without prior overflight authorization. The aircraft was heading towards an active conflict zone.
After the usual verifications, it was found that this aircraft bore no registration allowing its identification. This constitutes a flagrant violation of international civil aviation standards.
The competent authorities have been seized, and the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo have taken appropriate measures to guarantee the security of our airspace and preserve the integrity of our territory."

The contours of peace deal between Kigali and Kinshasa take shape

From the Reuters article:

“A source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Friday that another agreement on the framework would be signed by the heads of state at a separate White House event at an unspecified time”

@Rechnerhand

Could Reuters reference to a meeting at the White House at “an unspecified time” (above) by the heads of State be the same meeting mentioned by Africa Intelligence in their article below that you posted which mentions a meeting to be held in late July at the White House.

“ The ceremony sealing the deal will precede a meeting scheduled for late July at the White House between Presidents Félix Tshisekedi and Paul Kagame.”

From the Bloomberg article 1 July :

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-30/congo-wants-m23-peace-agreement-before-july-meeting-with-trump

“Congo is also nearing a separate strategic minerals deal with the US focused on the country’s world-class deposits of copper, cobalt and lithium, which are south of the conflict zone, President Felix Tshisekedisaid in a nationally broadcast independence day speech on Monday.”

Umm, is anyone else watching this US congress hearing where they're admitting aliens!!!

This is a replayed stream of last year's UFO/UAP hearing. There was also one in 2023 where an intelligence official (David Grusch) testified under oath that the US is in possession of recovered craft and biologics of non-human origin. Reportedly there's another hearing being planned for the near future.
This was alongside legislation that passed in the Senate that outlines public disclosure of UAP information: https://www.congress.gov/118/crec/2024/07/11/170/115/CREC-2024-07-11-pt1-PgS4943.pdf
Typing the term "non-human" in word finder in this document highlights some interesting sections.

I would like this saga to be over before this story blows up in any way lol

A few months ago, I fell victim to what I believed was a legitimate crypto investment opportunity. The platform looked polished, the “advisors” seemed professional, and everything felt convincing. Over time, I invested a total of $138,000 savings I had built over many years. But when I tried to withdraw my funds, the platform stalled, made excuses, and eventually went completely silent. That’s when I realized I had been scammed. At first, I was overwhelmed with regret and shame. I reported the incident to local authorities, but was told these cases are often hard to trace, especially with crypto being decentralized and scammers operating overseas. Still, I wasn’t ready to give up. That’s when I found Malice Cyber Recovery. I was skeptical at first after all, I had already been scammed once. But what stood out was that they didn’t promise miracles or ask for money upfront. They explained the process clearly tracing blockchain transactions, identifying where the funds were moved, and working with legal partners and enforcement contacts where possible. The process took time and a lot of patience. There were points where I doubted anything would come of it. But slowly, progress became visible. They traced the wallet movements, found patterns, and eventually coordinated with a third party compliance entity that helped freeze part of the assets. To my surprise and immense relief I was able to recover the full $138,000. It didn’t happen overnight, and it wasn’t easy, but it did happen. I’m sharing this not to promote anyone, but because I know how isolating and hopeless it feels to be scammed like this. There are professionals out there who know what they’re doing. You just have to be cautious, ask the right questions, and move forward carefully. I consider myself lucky to have crossed paths with Malice Cyber Recovery they helped turn what felt like a dead end into a second chance.

The DRC vs M23 peace agreement discussions could delay everything.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-30/congo-wants-m23-peace-agreement-before-july-meeting-with-trump

 

[Jongo]

Summary of Bloomberg Article (30 June 2025)

Title: Congo Wants M23 Peace Agreement Before July Meeting With Trump

• The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has made it clear that it wants a peace agreement with the M23 rebel group finalized before its scheduled July 2025 summit with former U.S. President Donald Trump.
• The DRC views the M23 issue as a critical precondition for any broader minerals-for-security deal with the U.S.
• While a U.S.-brokered peace accord between the DRC and Rwanda was signed in June, M23 was not a party to that agreement.
• Congolese officials are concerned that excluding M23 could undermine the credibility and durability of the peace process.
• The article highlights that Trump’s administration is pushing for a minerals access deal, but Kinshasa insists that security must come first, particularly in eastern provinces where M23 controls key territory.
• The DRC is also seeking U.S. military and logistical support to stabilize the region and ensure safe access to strategic mining zones.
