THE SMELL OF (fishy) MONEY: What has CHINA been up to in GAMBIA lately?

 

This reminds me of what they're doing with pigs & soy which I reported about here.

How the global demand for seafood is leading Chinese factories to pollute an African nation

Gunjur, a town of some fifteen thousand people, sits on the Atlantic coastline of southern Gambia, the smallest country on the African continent. During the day, its white-sand beaches are full of activity. Fishermen steer long, vibrantly painted wooden canoes, known as pirogues, toward the shore, where they transfer their still-fluttering catch to women waiting at the water’s edge. The fish are hauled off to nearby open-air markets in rusty metal wheelbarrows or in baskets balanced on heads. Small boys play soccer as tourists watch from lounge chairs. At nightfall, work ends and the beach is dotted with bonfires. There is drumming and kora lessons; men with oiled chests grapple in traditional wrestling matches.

GOOGLE employees who filed RACISM complaints TOLD TO SEEK THERAPY: report

    

If you read the recent post I made about Silicon Valley, it's pretty clear that THEY are actually the ones who need to 'check their mental health'...

After they experienced racist behavior and sexual harassment on the job, several employees of Google sought assistance from the human resources department. According to a new report, instead of investigating the allegations, HR directed the victims to take time, citing their own mental health as reasoning.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, who is Black, clashed with her Chinese counterpart on Friday when she described her own experience with racism as a challenge, but said for millions of people in countries like China and Myanmar it was deadly.

During a U.N. General Assembly meeting to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield said: “Racism was and continues to be a daily challenge wherever we are. And for millions, it’s more than a challenge. It’s deadly.”

An L.A. County official recently announced plans to possibly return a $75 million beachfront property to the family of a Black couple that once owned it.

The news comes 97 years after policymakers in Manhattan Beach wrested the property away from the family as part of a power move to oust Black people from the Southern California city.

Charles and Willa Bruce were among the first landowners in the coastal town when they bought a patch of land on the shores for less than $2,000 in 1912.

Miami janitor quietly feeds thousands, and LOVE'S the reason

    

KELLI KENNEDY | AP

MIAMI (AP) — Doramise Moreau toils long past midnight in her tiny kitchen every Friday — boiling lemon peels, crushing fragrant garlic and onion into a spice blend she rubs onto chicken and turkey, cooking the dried beans that accompany the yellow rice she’ll deliver to a Miami church.

She's singlehandedly cooked 1,000 meals a week since the pandemic's start — a an act of love she’s content to perform with little compensation.

Moreau, a 60-year-old widow who lives with her children, nephew and three grandchildren, cooks in the kitchen of a home built by Habitat for Humanity in 2017.

Her days are arduous. She works part-time as a janitor at a technical school, walking or taking the bus. But the work of her heart, the reason she rises each morning, is feeding the hungry.

About 2.2 million of the 2.5 million deaths from Covid were in countries with high levels of overweight people, says the report from the World Obesity Federation. Countries such as the UK, US and Italy, where more than 50% of adults are overweight, have the biggest proportions of deaths linked to coronavirus.

More Israeli research strongly suggests cannabis helps sick recover from coronavirus

 

Does marijuana help sick recover from coronavirus?

THE JERUSALEM POST

A research team at Rabin Medical Center at Beilinson tested CBD cannabidiol on a group of 11 patients in serious condition with the novel coronavirus and found what they claim could point to promising results.

Out of the 11 patients, 8 saw improvement in the infections they were suffering from - and which are known to cause death in COVID-19 patients – leading to their release sometime between seven and 30 days later. The other three patients died of their illness.

📺 WATCH: ABC News Craftily MISLEADS Viewers Into Thinking Most Hate Crimes Against Asians Being Committed By Black Americans

     

In addition to this disturbingly false narrative, they attempt to create the gross assumption for a false equivalence between the degree of racism that Black Americans experience compared with those of Asian descent. The above video is MUST SEE and in EXCELLENT breakdown of the subtle, but extremely DANGEROUS propaganda and mind control which is at play here on this recent story going viral in the national news media for weeks now.
