This administration is a total failure on every level and our very lives are at risk. War, vaccines, more war, more vaccines, mask mandates, more war…when will it end?

Glen Greenwald just tweeted the most important truth about the Democrats war against Russia and the people of Ukraine:

“The group that, by far, most supports US fueling of the war in Ukraine is self-identified ‘liberal Dems’. One major reason is they loathe Russia for 2016 and are willing to destroy Ukraine to harm Moscow.”

The cluster bombs that AOC and Biden sent to Ukraine are now being used by the way. (yes, that’s Rachel Maddow cheering in the background.)

I didn’t think it possible to see an administration more murderous and more anti-American than Bush/Cheney, but here we are.

And look at what Biden and the rest have done to our border. I don’t blame the migrants; I would want out of those sh*thole countries, too.

In the past three years (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) 7-million people from over one-hundred and forty countries (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) have just walked across our border and now live here illegally. (while international travelers need to be vaxxed for entry to the US, illegals don’t have to be vaxxed! That should tell you all you need to know about the ‘vax’ when Biden tries to scare you into ‘boo$ting’ this fall. Just like the illegals, YOU DON’T NEED IT.).

I think it very important to point out that the Hondurans are (still) fleeing a hell cause by Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama after they overthrew the Honduran government and installed death squads, creating a massive humanitarian wave out of Honduras as they flee Hillary’s installed murderous military government. Those death squads immediately killed the most famous environmentalist and ACTUAL FEMINIST, south of our border, Berta Caceras.

An open border is the antithesis of compassion:

The Monday Mayor’s meetings generate some interesting discussions about City business. The subject of why the City has such high Administrative costs came up and included a comment that citizens were told that the City Manager’s recent pay raise was given in order to be consistent with pay for similar positions in the area.

I first went back and read the Headlight Herald article where Councilor Kozlowski was quoted as saying that the salary increase was “appropriate given other regional comparators”. I then went to the May Council meeting video to listen for myself as to what this was all about. Councilor Kozlowski at the meeting explained that Bay City and Cannon Beach were the only comparison cities mentioned.

There are 18 City Manager positions that Councilor Kozlowski could have reviewed in the Clatsop, Tillamook and Lincoln County area that would serve as appropriate “regional comparators”. No explanation was given why Bay City was such a relevant comparison to Manzanita. She did do a detailed discussion of the total compensation package for the Cannon Beach City Manager including the $12,000 housing allowance that Cannon Beach pays in order that their City Manager can actually live in the City that employs him. A housing allowance is not considered as salary and since Manzanita doesn’t require our City Manager to live in Manzanita, her inclusion of this $12,000 was simply a means to inflate the salary differential and would appear to be a bit disingenuous with her explanation that she wanted to make sure that her comparisons were “apples to apples”. Also omitted was the Cannon Beach City Manager’s 30 years of government experience which would factor into both his starting salary and influence subsequent pay increases to get to his current salary.

When the Mayor asked what the costs were for benefits in addition to the salary increase, neither staff nor Councilor Kozlowski could supply that information. In order to be sure of the facts, I made a public records request of the City to get these new salary and benefit costs for the City Manager. I was first told that the City could not locate any report with this information. When I suggested that the monthly payroll report would have this information, I was advised that the City Attorney would have to review this report and I would be charged $329.37 before I could see it.

I declined to pay for information that Councilor Kozlowski and staff should have been prepared to disclose at the meeting. It appears that the City Manager’s salary is now $140,000 with additional payroll costs and benefits of approximately $58,000 for a total compensation cost of $198,000.

There really was no reason for Councilor Kozlowski’s presentation to be so inaccurate and unprofessionally researched. My 5 minute search of the web uncovered a legitimate regional salary comparison of City Managers that a consultant for Seaside performed last year during the process to replace their retiring City Manager. Some of those findings:

After 37 years as both Seaside City Manager and Finance Director, the final salary was $130,620.

Tillamook was at $87,000, Astoria was at $151,000, Cannon Beach at $149,250 and Warrenton at $125,000. Waldport at $105,000, Florence at $113,110 and Bandon at $118,000. Newport and Lincoln City each pay $125,000 and Hood River pays $145,000. These figures may have increased somewhat since 2022.

As an additional point of reference, when Manzanita City Manager Jerry Taylor retired 5 years ago after 22 years as Manager, his final salary was approximately $80,000.

Should citizens be concerned about recent Administrative cost increases? In the past 3 years, City Hall staff salary and benefit costs alone have increased almost 60%. Total City Hall Administrative costs are up 138%. We are continually reminded that our property taxes are too low and we do not have adequate funding for maintaining infrastructure. Maybe we have more of a spending problem than a lack of adequate revenue.

The City is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars for consultants for almost every topic that comes up. Rather than allow an independent party to do an objective analysis for this important decision, this task is performed by the Councilor who publicly proclaims that she is the City Manager’s number one fan. No other Councilor had any questions at the meeting, apparently satisfied with Councilor Kozlowski’s research methodology, conclusions and recommendations. The Mayor asks relevant questions but must be careful since asking questions may result in further criticism, complaints and inquiries.

Salary and benefits are the single largest expense in the City Budget. Why didn’t Councilor Kozlowski produce a written report breaking down salary and benefit costs that was available for both Council and citizens to examine before the May Council meeting? Should Councilors explain why any City employee with 2 years of relevant position experience is receiving a substantially higher salary than the comparable position with greater experience in larger area cities?

The real issue here may not be whether the City Manager should or should not be getting a pay increase of this amount. The concern is that due to the indifferent and inattentive governance by Councilor Kozlowski and the Councils on which she served on during the past 17 years, we find ourselves in the financial and community livability mess that we are now in. 17 years of running the City like a club rather than a multi million dollar public corporation responsible to the shareholder/ resident voters is at the root of our current problems. The lack of any objective analysis, research, questions and choice of presenter for this particular presentation is vintage Club Manzanita governance.

The Council will soon be interviewing candidates to fill the vacant Council position. We should all hope that this is an opportunity to appoint a citizen who is willing to ask questions and make sure that critical thinking and objective fact based analysis is at the foundation of Council decisions especially those involving the Budget and City finances. My more pessimistic side says that is not likely going to happen and this opportunity will end up being nothing more than an audition to ensure that this vacancy will be filled by a loyal Club member.

Three days ago I shared on this site leaked info that high-level managers at TSA were told mask mandates for their workers will be coming back in mid-September. The leaker said mask mandates will then be reinstated for pilots. Then mask mandates will be reinstated for passengers.

That was TSA leaked info. The plan for “pandemic number two” includes, of course, all sectors of our increasingly pathetic society.

And here we go again…

The time between ‘conspiracy theory’ and reality is now three days:

and more booster$ of cour$e:

www.reuters.com/world/us/biden-administration-urge-americans-get-new-covid-19-boosters-2023-08-20/

Are we going to let the mass-murderers at the CDC get away with killing more of our children? Will anyone in state and county government stand up with me and tell the feds and our VAXXED BIG TECH BIG PHARMA WHORE OF A GOVERNOR to shove their mask mandates up their arrogant, narcissist, idiot a**es? That we are done standing by while you criminals abuse our children with mask mandates and zoom ‘learning’? That we are done watching you child-abusing creeps demand our children shoot Big Techs experimental mRNA-tech (that they don’t fuc**ing need AT ALL) if they want to go to school with their friends? That if they don’t they have to stay home and ‘zoom’, then slit their wrists like so many children did last time we gave in to these masters of medical tyranny?

The politicians running Oregon (state/county) don’t give a sh@t about us or our children. We learned that last time around. Or at least some of us did.

All Oregon pols want is the adoration of their Big Tech priests and the DNC brass, and to keep a tight hold on their illusion of power. We don’t matter to them; our children don’t matter to them.

Are we going to let another Oregon governor do this to us and our children again? Are we gonna cow down like a bunch of beaten pansies and let Mary Faith Bell and the rest of the county cowards damage our children’s lives even more?

Who’s gonna join me and fight back this time?

Anyone?

Anyone at all??

All the Bills We Have Not Seen

At the August 9 City Council meeting, Council President Kozlowski updated the community about the proposed Council Retreat with the mediation lawyer that was to take place in September. A few things got in the way of setting a date—first off, it’s hard to make plans to get a bunch of busy people together; second, Councilor Jenna Edginton resigned so waiting until a new councilor is appointed makes sense, and third, the investigation that was announced at a special session on June 14, 2023 is not yet complete and must be in order to move forward with mediation at the retreat.

Rumors and conspiracies about the investigation abound but unless we can see a summary of the findings, the public only knows a few things.

The investigation was announced at the June 14, Special Session. If you sneezed you missed it, so I’ve transcribed it here:

Council President Kozlowski: The City Attorney is in receipt of a complaint from an employee and council has evaluated potential responses, I’d like a motion to move to the next step.

Councilor Mayerle: I move that the city engage through the City Attorney an investigator to conduct a privileged investigation of allegations made in an employee complaint and recently received by the City Attorney’s office.

Councilor Mayerle also moved that Councilors Kozlowski and Spegman be the members to work with the City Attorney during the investigation. So, we know that shortly before the June 14 meeting there was an employee complaint and that it was serious enough to require an independent investigation and that it must be complete before the mediated retreat can take place.

The City of Manzanita’s Rules of Procedure isn’t a long document at 28 pages. It’s not difficult to understand or laden with jargon or legalese like so many government documents are. It’s a pretty straight forward guide to the rules of city government and the way things are supposed to be done for all the players involved—councilors, mayor, city manager, citizens.

Chapter 10—Interactions with Staff and City Attorney isn’t even a page long, but it gives guidance to council. It also clarifies the rules of city government for the community. If you wonder about how things work like I do, it’s required reading.

Most of this page-long chapter is about how council works with the City Manager. Council, which includes the mayor, “shall respect the separation between the Council’s role and the City Manager’s responsibility by:
A. Not interfering with the day-to-day administration of city business, which is the responsibility of the City Manager.
B. Refraining from actions that would undermine the authority of the City Manager or a department head.
There’s a couple of paragraphs about requesting information but that’s it for Section 1.
The next section about the City Attorney is only a sentence long but it’s simple and direct. “Council members may make requests to the city attorney for advice with the concurrence of the majority of the Council” (p 26).

So, before a council member can contact the City Attorney, a majority of council has to agree that there’s a good reason to do so. This protects the city from incurring unnecessary legal bills. It’s a check to make sure that individual councilors or mayors don’t run up bills on the city’s tab for no good reason.

But in early February after less than a month in office, the mayor contacted her personal attorney who then contacted our city attorney starting a chain of events that has now cost the city $30,000, not including the bills for the current investigation and additional legal fees associated. Oh, and while there was always going to be a retreat, it’s now a retreat with a mediation lawyer and I’m betting it’s not going to be cheap.

When the mayor bypassed the rules and called her personal lawyer without talking to anybody on council, she put her personal interests ahead of the city’s and started the meter running on legal bills the city will have to pay. Before the phone call in February there was no executive session, no employee complaint, no investigation, no bills. Nada.

What does a reasonable person do a month into a volunteer gig that maybe wasn’t going the way they anticipated? Do they call their lawyer? Why? If there was a city problem, wouldn’t they talk to their colleagues on council first and get the approval needed to talk with the City Attorney?

This isn’t the only time the mayor has violated the City’s Rules and Procedures or completely failed to understand her role as mayor.

There were the times she published opinions in the media as the mayor and not as a private citizen.

There was the time she leaked information from the executive session about the city manager’s performance review.

There was the special budget meeting when she clearly didn’t understand where or how policy is made.

There are more instances, but I’m at 913 words. The point is this time the mayor’s disregard for rules and procedures has cost the city a whole lot of cash money.

I’ve heard from a few people who blame the mayor’s lack of experience for her behavior, but that hasn’t been a problem for any other member of council. So, to me it begs the question, at what point do we insist that the people elected to govern follow the rules and laws like the rest of us?

Ten or so years ago someone around Nehalem developed a local currency. Doing so again might be a good idea. The Billionaire Instigators are quickly getting rid of our ability to use cash; then they will have absolute control over our use of ‘money’.

They already have mandated that they have total control of our cars. (connected to internet with government controlled shut-off switch). This is designed to control/stop our future movements cuz ‘climate chaos’.

These lunatics want you to submit to retinal scans to buy toilet paper. These are the nastiest ‘futurist’ banker-fascists who are trying to take cash from us. The more they sugar-coat this totalitarian move, the more you can rest assured the proponents of this are full of sh*t.

“Holden’s plan to phase out cash within three years begins with eliminating $100 notes in the first year and $50 bills in year two. Then it’s about using education and incentives, especially convincing traditional cash users of better options.”

I’ll go out on a limb and say this is highly likely:

“Whistleblowers from the TSA and Border Patrol have raised the alarm that the Biden administration is setting the stage for full Covid lockdowns that will begin with incremental restrictions like masking TSA employees in mid-September.

The first source cited a Tuesday meeting in which TSA managers were told new memorandums & policies were being completed that would reimplement masking, starting with TSA & airport employees as early as mid-September.

The TSA official also said next week they will receive new guidelines on how the policy will escalate: by mid-October, mask-wearing will be required by pilots, flight staff, passengers, and airport patrons.

After hearing from the TSA manager, this source confirmed the same directives were being given to Border Patrol.”

Like I’ve been saying, Covid1984 has just begun.

Get stocked up.

These Black Lives Matter demonstrations every Saturday in Manzanita got me thinking some more…

When I was a senior in high school I went to see Nelson Mandela speak at Yankee Stadium, upon his release from an apartheid-South Africa prison. Harry Belafante was there. Tracy Chapman was there. Richie Havens was there. I remember looking up from the field and seeing Yankee Stadium entirely filled with with black faces, something which never happened before and may never happen again. (There were a few of us whities; our faces imperceptible among the blacks from afar.)

Black Lives Matter Day in Manzanita reminded me of Nelson Mandela the other week.

And I feel obliged to point out what several of my black friends have said; it’s basically what Malcom X says in the link below. One black friend said liberal Boston was the most racist city he ever visited, and I met him in Salt Lake!

Anyway, Malcom:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E55kQfachBQ

And it seems Africa as a whole is getting very sick of ‘liberals’, especially Woke Biden and Woke Macron. Seems some Africans are not so interested in Biden’s ‘equity’ and are willing to go to war to keep the Racist Woke Democrats (Biden’s mentor former Sen. Robert Byrd was a KKK leader) out of Niger and the entire region! How many governments in Africa have Biden and Obama overthrown because “Black Lives Matter”?

Jimmy Door knows:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_YOvbmgrtM

And now…African Malaria is in the United States! Thank you ‘philanthropist’ Bill Gates!

From article:

“The Gates Foundation is heavily invested in the GMO (genetically modified organism) mosquito project, investing more than $30 million in Oxitec. Most of it — more than $20 million — is aimed at U.S. regions.”

and:

“Locally acquired malaria has been nonexistent in the U.S. for the last 20 years. But five such cases have recently been diagnosed — four in Florida and one in Texas — the only two states that have released genetically engineered mosquitoes.”

(Oh Billy Boy, what have you done? Please take your ‘philanthropy’ back to your Seattle end-of-the-world-bunker and leave us the hell alone!)

childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/epa-gmo-mosquitoes-malaria-cola/

As if the malaria-spreading mosquitoes weren’t enough of a warning to us to get this guy in jail ASAP, the Gates funded vax (the ‘covid’ one, not the one with the malaria his genetically-modified mosquitoes are spreading around Texas and Florida), has killed an estimated how many in Europe??

Millions dead (blacks and whites) worldwide from the vax? Millions more with strokes and heart attacks? Could it be true?

John Campbell goes through the numbers, from Eurostat:

rumble.com/v36w5kk-dr.-john-campbell-the-most-vaccinated-countries-are-still-seeing-high-rates.html

And now Biden says we have to work with NATO and France to BOMB Niger why??? Rechargeable batteries for ‘green’ cars, the precious metals to be mined by the slave-children of Niger?? Global warming equity? Tough choice! I sure like driving my Tesla a lot! Elon even put in a button I can push and it will make my car dance to his favorite classical music song!

(Equity is easy: just don’t think about the enslaved black kids mining the precious metals for your Tesla.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=to1ngiM-Y0g

Not all are on board with the Woke/War agenda though. Here is some Italian fire! She doesn’t not like Macron, oh no! She also refers to ‘liberal’ ‘progressive’ ‘feminist’ Hillary Clinton overthrowing Libya and installing death squads, which caused a massive humanitarian crisis and saw a massive wave of Libyan migrants to Italy fleeing Hillary’s Libyan hell.

The same thing happened here in North America when Hillary and Barak overthrew Honduras. Not only did the death squads they put in place immediately murder the number one environmental activist in Honduras, Berta Caceras, they caused a massive humanitarian crisis that sent millions of starving Hondurans north to our no-border with Mexico and into Texas and Arizona and California.

Why do so many in Niger want France (NATO) and woke war-criminal Macron out and Russia in?????

Oh, but you say Orange Man woulda brought some love to Africa?

Malema thinks not:

“Donald Trump has not done anything different than every other white person has done”.

I love the black-power fist behind him, holding a spear!!!!! Love it! A genuine symbol of black power, unlike those rapidly-fading trendy corporate/communist ’Black Lives Matter’ fist bumper-stickers white people all over Portland have on the back of their cars.

Yeah, those stickers are fading. Either the company that makes those stickers went out of business, the people of Portland moved on to the trendy “I Support Ukraine” thing, or maybe the people of Portland realized the quadrupled homicide rate (and climbing), and the explosive violence gripping the city, resulted DIRECTLY from the state-sponsored domestic terrorism riots in Portland three summers ago, those riots saw BLM folks (white folks) trying to BURN DOWN THE PORTLAND POLICE STATION EVERY NIGHT FOR AN ENTIRE SUMMER! I was working as a taxi driver at that time, and at the beginning of every 6 AM shift I would drive to 3rd and Madison to see the carnage from the night before. The charred sides of buildings. The trash everywhere. The Graffiti: “Fuck the Police!” “Kill A Cop!” “FUCK12!” This went on, ore or less, until Joe Biden was elected. And the Soros-funded DA let all of these leftist-terrorists get away with their violence against the people of Portland.

No cops died though, some were injured, but hundreds of young black teenage boys have since been murdered in Portland due to the anti-cop (pro-gang) aftermath of the state-sponsored cop-hating Black Lives Matter riots. If the pro-gangster and pro-tweaker Measure 114 goes into effect, even more black kids will be killed.

“Bro, you coming along for the drive-by?”

“No man, I ain’t registered my gun yet.”

Yeah, Measure 114 is gonna work miracles with those sick enough and screwed over by society enough to murder with guns. I can’t wait to see the gangster compliance rates if this ridiculous measure ever goes into effect!

Oh my, aren’t we all glad it has cooled off! Friends of North County Recreation District (NCRD) are still selling flowers and we need your help in a couple of ways. First would be we are running out of vases. If you or your group have some vases, we would love to have them. You can leave them either at the North County Recreation District in Nehalem or under the tables where we sell flowers next to the Deli in downtown Manzanita. Having them no larger than 3.5 inches at the base would earn you bonus points-and you thought no one was keeping track. Friends also need more help with flower arranging. Please come and help Friends raise funds for scholarships, programs, and projects. If you can help, please call, or text Gail, 503-830-3759 or gailmyoung@mac.com. Vases and Helpers are what we need. Sales have been going well and we thank those who are enjoying our flowers. Remember, sale days in downtown Manzanita-Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday. Sunday and Wednesday off. Thank you all!

We own a vacation home in Neahkahnie. On August 4th our neighbor noticed a red pickup truck, Arizona license plate VKA 4LN in our driveway using the hose. When asked what he was doing he said waiting for friends renting the Airbnb. He was told our home was not a rental and advised to leave. We arrived on the 13th to find multiple items had been stolen from the outside of our home. We reported to the Deputy Sheriff. He shared that just within the last week the numbers of calls like mine had quadrupled. They will keep information in their system, but not much to be done. Be aware. And put valuables inside.

Some ‘climate chaos’ perspective while we enjoy the sun and go to the river for a swim:

When was it HOTTEST in Oregon and the U.S.?

From Dust Bowl article:

“Those conditions occurred in the 1930s, when they exacerbated the woes that farmers were already experiencing because of the wider economy, after two record-breaking heatwaves in 1934 and 1936, which are still the hottest US summers on record.”

From today’s KGW ‘article’ (aka ‘climate chaos’ fear-porn):

“A July 1941 heat wave currently holds the record of five consecutive days over 100 degrees at PDX.”

When was it hottest in the US and Oregon???

It was long before Al Gore won an Academy Award for pointing out that the polar ice caps would be disappeared eight years ago:

“Dust bowl conditions in the 1930s wrought devastation across the US agricultural heartlands of the Great Plains, which run through the middle of the continental US stretching from Montana to Texas. The conditions are caused by a combination of heatwaves, drought and farming practices, replacing the native prairie vegetation.

Those conditions occurred in the 1930s, when they exacerbated the woes that farmers were already experiencing because of the wider economy, after two record-breaking heatwaves in 1934 and 1936, which are still the hottest US summers on record.”

The Tillamook Burn was a series of forest fires that occurred in the northern Oregon Coast Range mountains from 1933 to 1951, destroying a total area of 355,000 acres of old growth timber in what is now known as the Tillamook State Forest. There were four wildfires in this series, and the name Tillamook Burn also refers to the location of these fires. The event is an important part of Oregon’s history.

Why is it just about every ‘climate chaos’ solution the billionaires propose takes away our civil rights and enslaves us to the Billionaire Instigators even further?

Can we solve ‘climate chaos’ without infringing on our civil liberties?

Of course we can.

And I am referring to the civil rights of WE common folk. The Billionaire Instigators will not lose any of their civil rights over ‘climate chaos’; they will also never stop flying their private jets and eating the best meats as they lecture us to stay home and eat bugs.

To my Community, NCRD & the board of NCRD.

I acknowledge lashing out inappropriately during the Board meeting on Thursday. I accept being muted, I wasn’t being heard anyway.

My concerns:
A 1.7 million dollar discrepancy of stated ‘donor donations’ when those money actually included Timber revenue. This may not seem like an issue to some and it could jeopardize future grants being funded, if discovered false information is reported.

Another ‘permit’ not retained with a lot of finger pointing as to why. The reason is clear, the NCRD needs to hire an Employer Representative to oversee the pool project. Not one person, including the contractor has ever built a pool or managed a project of this size. This was suggested to the Board 3 years ago via the contractor for the Seaside School Project, he even stated ‘the NCRD has no idea what is going to come at them’. The suggestion was ignored. Interesting that the little Pine Grove project had an Employer Rep? But then Wally B did tell us all that the Board has their own way of doing things….

One funny, someone wrote to the board asking for a skate park be built near the Pickle Ball courts. Jack used good sense this time when he didn’t say what he said when I asked for a skatepark committee be formed 3 years ago which was ‘we’re building them a 10 million dollar pool, they should be grateful”! Good Luck with that skatepark!

The school swim program is 1/3 of what it was.

The NCRD operation tax levy is on the ballot in November. I have lost faith in the NCRD. I will be VOTING NO.

It’s Saturday, which means it is Black Lives Matter Day at the intersection of HWY 101 and Laneda Avenue in Manzanita!

In honor of the ongoing anti-racism efforts at that intersection, let’s listen to some black folks about NATO and World War Woke, and that ‘vaccine’, shall we?

Wiki:

“Julius Sello Malema (born 3 March 1981) is a South African politician who is a Member of Parliament and the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), a far left-wing party which he founded in 2013.[1][2] He was formerly the President of the African National Congress (ANC) Youth League from 2008 until his expulsion from the party in 2012. Malema became a member of the ANC at the age of nine and was elected president of the ANC Youth League at a controversial party conference in April 2008. He rose to prominence as an outspoken supporter of Jacob Zuma, then the ANC president and later the President of South Africa.”

In this recent talk (link below), Julius Malema points out that NATO destroyed Libya, and that Libya is still in shambles today. (There are once again slave markets in Libya – more of that ‘progressive equity’! The darker blacks get sold to lighter blacks and Saudis, etc.). Libya was overthrown, primarily, by Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton (state dept.) and NATO.

Here is Hillary laughing about Ghadafi being murdered by the death squads she and Barak put into power:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DXDU48RHLU

The hell that followed her sick little laugh continues all over Libya to this very day…

This just in!!!!!

Nigeria now entering the “Ukraine” conflict”??

The corrupt pro-US government in Nigeria was just overthrown by a pro-Russia group! Yay! Get ready for more American troops to go ‘help’ the blacks over in Niger, or at least those blacks that do what Biden and NATO and Pfizer ask of them…screw the rest!

Victoria Nuland, who overthrew the democratically-elected government of Ukraine with the CIA/state dept. etc for Barak Obama in 2014, is here again, getting ready to overthrow Niger…or whatever she’s up to…just keeping busy I guess!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaaPHJiD1us

And finally, Malema’s talk.

Here are some highlights:

“NATO is not a very peaceful organization. You cannot talk peace and NATO in one sentence.”

“What peace did NATO take to Libya? Look at what you did to Libya. Because you were going after one man, you destroyed the whole country.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Npt8aEIMwbE

And finally, Africa is the least vaccinated continent in the world! Around 6% I think? And they have the LEAST amount of VAX INJURY, and the least amount of…’covid’!

Africans are sick of being experimented on by Big Pharma of the West. They are so sick of ‘philanthropist’ Bill Gates experimenting on them. They know the history of medical fascism being inflicted on blacks here in the US by the CDC:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskegee_Syphilis_Study

So yeah, blacks ain’t into the vax so much. And thanks to their skepticism, more blacks are alive in Africa today then if they had listened to Fauci and shot that junk!

Black Lives Matter indeed!!!

NICE JOB AFRICA!!!!

Meanwhile, Bill Gates STILL wants to block the sun! Dude, retire already!
