The proposal by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) to put up a multimillion-shilling hotel in the Nairobi National Park is a baffling development.
One would have expected the KWS, as the custodian of the country’s wildlife heritage and an agent of conservation, to be in the front line in opposing any encroachment on this vital resource.
UPDATE 22. July 2020: Hydroxychloroquine could save up to 100,000 lives if used for COVID-19: Yale epidemiology professor
By Wolfgang Wodarg - 18. April 2020
WHO and many others advocate the use of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) if the SARS-CoV-2 test is positive.
HCQ is an old malaria drug, used also with autoimmun diseases but is not officially approved for Covid-19. Most of the recent studies with HCQ (more than 100 on 18.4.2020, 35 new ones last week), which have now been registered in rapid succession, also want to use HCQ alone or in combination with other drugs.
HCQ is already being used like that even in completely healthy people „for the prevention of severe courses“. It is also used prophylactically for medical staff. The recommended dose is about 20 times as high as for malaria prophylaxis! (400-800mg per day).

As the world celebrates the International Day of World’s Indigenous Peoples today, it is a dull moment for those living in Kenya.
Local forest indigenous groups say while courts have come to their protection, marginalisation continues with long-standing unimplemented court rulings, evictions and ethnic clashes amid a raging global pandemic.
“But we have nothing to celebrate because of continued marginalisation and empty promises. The indigenous communities have won big in both local and international courts while fighting for their rights but the ruling in their favour against the government remain empty years later,” said Joseph Towett, chairperson of the Ogiek Supreme Council of Elders.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has just made a grandiose discovery and declared (21 July 2020) under the alarming title “This is now the world’s greatest threat – and it’s not coronavirus”. The superb discovery is listed as “Affluence is the biggest threat to our world, according to a new scientific report.” (See this).
This “shocking and revealing news” is the “main conclusions of a team of scientists from Australia, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, who have warned that tackling overconsumption has to become a priority. Their report, titled Scientists’ Warning on Affluence, explains that “affluence is the driver of environmental and social impacts, and therefore, true sustainability calls for significant lifestyle changes, rather than hoping that more efficient use of resources will be enough.”

We want to investigate why the federal and state governments have imposed unprecedented restrictions and what consequences they had for people. We support scientific studies in this field.
In Germany, coronavirus activity is almost at a standstill. A large number of studies have shown that lethality and mortality are similar to influenza. Throughout the entire coronavirus measures, the German health care system was never overwhelmed.
However, the government's coronavirus interventions, which were imposed in a great panic, have caused massive social, psychological, health, cultural and economic collateral damage.

A drug-resistant strain of the parasite that causes malaria has been identified by scientists in Rwanda.
The study, published in Nature, found the parasites were able to resist treatment by artemisinin - a frontline drug in the fight against the disease.
This is the first time scientists have observed the resistance to the drug artemisinin in Africa.
The researchers warns that this "would pose a major public health threat" in the continent.

Welcome to the ACU, the Extra-Parliamentary Corona Investigation Committee. If the Parliament does not do it, then we citizens are called upon to do it ourselves.Extra-parliamentary Corona Committee of Inquiry, we will investigate why these restrictive measures came over our country in the wake of CoVid-19, why people are suffering now and whether there is any real proportionality to the disease actually caused by a SARS-CoV-2 virus.
We have serious doubts as to whether the way in which these restrictive measures have been taken is really proportionate. This must be investigated and, as neither the parliaments, the opposition parties nor the governing parties have convened a committee and it is not even in the planning stage, it is high time that we took matters into our own hands now. We will invite and hear experts here in the Corona Spokesmen's Circle, experts from all walks of life, from the fields of medicine, social affairs, law, the economy and much more.

SARS-CoV-2 mutation rate remains low. Across Europe and Italy, the most widespread is strain G, while the L strain from Wuhan is gradually disappearing. These mutations, however, do not impinge on the process of developing effective vaccines.
The virus causing the COVID-19 pandemic, SARS-CoV-2, presents at least six strains. Despite its mutations, the virus shows little variability, and this is good news for the researchers working on a viable vaccine.
These are the results of the most extensive study ever carried out on SARS-CoV-2 sequencing. Researchers at the University of Bologna drew from the analysis of 48,635 coronavirus genomes, which were isolated by researchers in labs all over the world. This study was published in the journal Frontiers in Microbiology. It was then possible for researchers to map the spread and the mutations of the virus during its journey to all continents.

We hear a lot about vaccines, but what if the real threat is something as seemingly innocuous as a tomato?
Scientists are “Pharming” tomatoes that will act as “edible coronavirus vaccines,” as we are told that GMO is mandatory in this “new normal.”
The ultimate goal, they admit, is to modify the genetics of the consumer. Is food the ultimate delivery mechanism to achieve a GMO transhuman future?
Every aspect of the food supply chain is being destroyed and perverted, and you must start growing your own food for your family.

When pressed during a recent CBS interview with Norah O’Donnell about the fact that nearly every test patient given an experimental Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine thus far has developed systemic side effects, billionaire eugenicist Bill Gates was nervously unconcerned, reassuring viewers that the FDA “will do a good job at that.”
As O’Donnell explained, a whopping 80 percent of those given at least two doses of Moderna’s test vaccine for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) got sick, in many cases with the same symptoms one might develop from the infection itself. But according to Gates, it is nothing to worry about because the side effects were not really that bad.

“All the official COVID-19 numbers are
fake, totally made up!”
• All the COVID-19 infection rates and number of cases by locale and nation are fabricated
• All mortality rates by city, state and nation are falsified, most COVID-19 classified deaths are other causes of death
• All coronavirus hospital admissions are either confusingly misrepresented, deliberately inflated or grossly exaggerated
• All COVID-19 statistics officially issued by virtually every government within the world community of nations are either highly inaccurate, purposefully distorted or patently false
• Geriatric genocide is the primary cause of death especially in the United States, Italy, Great Britain, Spain, France and Germany

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s case management hearing yesterday continued the travesty of legal due process to which he has been subjected for more than a decade.
The journalist and publisher is fighting extradition to the United States, where he faces politically motivated frame-up charges of espionage with a combined potential sentence of 175 years. He has not attended hearings via videolink for the last three months on the advice of doctors, due to his fragile state of health and the threat of exposure to coronavirus.

SARS-CoV-2 is - based on the assessments and testimonies given by many virologists - a man-made, artificially created virus deriving from the family of the coronavirus pathogens. There are a number of coronaviruses that affect humans as well as those that affect primarily animals. A coronavirus that affects specifically the intestines of dogs is known since it appeared first in the UK in 1971.
Known to science are now seven corona viruses that affect humans, of which four cause usually only a mild, flu-like sickness, but also can cause death in frail patients. All four of these endemic viruses circulate slowly and many people are already immune against them. In a normal flu season around 7 to 15 percent of all flu viruses are these classic corona viruses.
The three others are the MERS, SARS und the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 that can cause a pandemic and serious respiratory illnesses as well as death. Infections with MERS are rare and the SARS virus hasn't been found in humans since 2004. SARS-CoV-2 causes COVID-19 and is at the core of the on-going pandemic.
