Respect the Presidency: Why Mocking Trump Divides More Than It Unites

In every democracy, citizens reserve the right to criticize their leaders, challenge their decisions, and debate the direction of their country. However, what has unfolded around Donald Trump goes far beyond ordinary political disagreement.

Why the US influence in Africa is shrinking as China advances

China has quietly taken over Africa by using loans as bait. Between 2000 and 2023, the Chinese government committed to lending $182.28 billion to African governments as it rapidly established projects on the continent. China's success in Africa isn't solely due to loans; rather, its modest and courteous approach has won over African leaders, who now view the communist country as a better partner than the US government.

 

The Asian country’s expanding economic and strategic influence in Africa has caused serious anxiety for the US government, which sees it as a strategic threat to US interests. According to recent reports, U.S. policymakers are growing increasingly concerned about China's infrastructure investments, particularly through project initiatives, which detractors claim give Beijing geopolitical leverage and create long-term dependency.

 

The United States sees China's economic participation in Africa as a threat to its national security since China owns essential infrastructure like ports and railroads, as well as key minerals like cobalt in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Another concern is China’s establishment of its first overseas military base in Djibouti, located just six miles from the U.S. Camp Lemonnier, which serves as the U.S. Africa Command and counterterrorism operations.

 

The United States' no-strings-attached investment model is causing African nations to align more and more with Beijing. African leaders think that Trump intentionally caused economic problems for both China and African countries by starting a trade war with China. African dissatisfaction with the US government grew as a result of the continent's greater reliance on the Chinese government.

 

Today, China has such a significant influence on the lives of 1.5 billion Africans that it influences almost every aspect of African civilizations. The Communist Party of China has affected almost every sector of the continent's economy, including natural resources, trade, logistics, and agriculture. Chinese companies have invested heavily in manufacturing, services, and real estate. Trump boycotted the G-20 Summit in South Africa for several reasons, including this.

 

The fact that President Donald Trump issued a series of executive orders following his return to office that severely disrupted U.S. foreign aid to Africa, mainly through a broad suspension and review of assistance programs under an "America First" agenda, is another significant issue that has weakened the relationship between Africa and the U.S. Major development, humanitarian, and health programs were the focus of the most significant suspensions and cancellations.

 

Thousands of projects throughout Africa were terminated as a result of the cancellation of 5,200, or 83%, of USAID's grants globally. This included the over $11 billion in funding that USAID gave to African nations in 2023, mostly for health and humanitarian initiatives.

 

Food and medical supplies became stranded in ports throughout the continent as a result of the abrupt stop-work order, which particularly affected nations like Ethiopia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo that significantly depend on U.S. humanitarian assistance. African leaders were forced to rely more on China as a result of the disruption, which led to the closure of HIV clinics, training programs, and other trans health facilities in South Africa.

 

China already controls roughly 12% of Africa's industrial production, or $500 billion annually, according to research by the New South Policy Center. Chinese businesses already control about half of the African contract construction sector, and they are mining in a number of African nations. China has recently set up educational institutions aimed at promoting Chinese culture and language in Africa while opposing Western democratic values.

 

Will the connection, business, and trade between African leaders and the US administration ever get better? I don't believe so because China has built a solid and cordial commercial foundation with Africa that is hard to receive from the governments of the US and the West. More significantly, China is seen by Africa as a genuine business and development partner.

The Suicide Of 30,177 American Soldiers In Afghanistan Forces Government To Call Out Its Soldiers

As the USA is now on to its final withdrawal after waging a war against the Afghan Taliban (AT) for 20 years, the world has been perplexed as to why a superpower, the US, has been forced to flee from Afghanistan, and that too, after negotiating a dialogue with the same people against whom it had waged a war.


It has now been almost a year since I wrote an article in CounterCurrents on July 22, 2020, in which I elaborated on the waning of the power of the US. In the same piece, I had cited a report, published by the US National Center for Biotechnology Information, which had given the most crucial data to have forced the then US President Donald Trump to enter into a 14-month gradual withdrawal, which is to end on September 11, 2021.

 

The report had informed that Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) had devastated the US Army to no end! To quote from it again, ‘Estimates of PTSD prevalence rates among returning service members vary widely across wars and eras.

 

In one major study of 60,000 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, 13.5% of deployed and non-deployed veterans screened positive for PTSD, while other studies show the rate to be as high as 20% to 30%. As many as 500,000 U.S. troops who served in these wars over the past 13 years have been diagnosed with PTSD. This is what forced the US to cool its heels.

 

High suicide rate among the United States of America soldiers

Now, yet another damning report has arrived, which proves an answer to the most vexed question as to why the US was made to retreat and vacate Afghanistan after bludgeoning it with the best imaginable weaponry, trillions of dollars, and support from NATO, and against what was called the ragtag army of AT!

 

This is the secret that the US and its entire state apparatus tried to hush for 20 years, and now all the beans have been spilled and skeletons tumbled out of the cupboard. A 35-page report from the Watson Institute at Brown University, US, released on June 21, has disclosed that the main reason why the US could not fathom staying longer in Afghanistan was due to a stupendous rise in suicides!

 

The report said, ‘Suicide rates among the US public have been increasing for the past twenty years, but among active military personnel and veterans of the post-9/11 wars, the suicide rate is even higher, outpacing average Americans.

 

The “post-9/11 wars” refers to ongoing U.S.-led military operations around the world that grew out of President George W. Bush’s “Global War on Terror” and the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in 2001. This paper estimates that 30,177 active duty personnel and veterans of the post-9/11wars have died by suicide, significantly more than the 7,057 service members killed in the post-9/11 war operations.

 

The world is now to analyze through this devastating report that it is the rate of suicides that forced the US not to further blow its army men into the furnace and eventually come back home. If this figure of 30,177 US Army men committing suicide is not fudged, which surely it would be, as the US will never bring out the real figures, but even if this figure is contextualized, it is a clear indication that the US has never lost its army men in suchlarge numbers. 


Perhaps, this is the worst ever war that the US has ever fought, in all the centuries of wars it has waged around the world. Whereas, on the contrary, there is a probable zero percentage of suicides amongst AT.

 

The researchers of tomorrow would reveal what made AT stand to their nerves, and that too, against the mightiest of armies in the entire history of mankind, if not for their motivation and perseverance! And, also in its stride, keeping conformity with the old dictum that Afghanistan has always been the graveyard of empires. Be that the once British Empire, or the superpower Soviet Union, or now the US.

 

It is a larger-than-known fact of US life as to how much the US invests in its health industry and, more particularly, in its stress management. Imagine if the US did not invest so much in stress management; this figure would have quadrupled. Interestingly, this figure of 30,177 deaths does not include those US army men who died in combat or even those of the private militias owned by the likes of Erik Prince, who runs Blackwater, etc.

 

Why would the US army men lay down their lives on their own? Perhaps because they may have found the war as useless and goalless, or else there is no point of comparison between a US soldier, saddled with the most imaginable expensive gadgets and ammunition, in combat with an AT in not even proper shoes.

 

China, by hosting the most powerful AT delegation, has given a signal to accept the AT government. Now, Russia is planning to come forward with the same. An article in the Financial Times on July 27, 2021, suggests, ‘Russia seeks to forge ties with the Taliban as US troops leave Afghanistan.’ Zamir Kabulov, the Special Representative of Russian President Vladimir Putin, described the Taliban’s advance as a security boost for Russia.

 

He also announced that China, Russia, Pakistan, and the US are to meet on August 11 as an ‘extended troika’ to discuss the Afghan situation, but China may also be putting to the US the issue of the latest blast at the Dasu Dam (KPK in Pakistan), in which 9 of its engineers were killed.

 

China had conducted a joint investigation with Pakistan, and the report has been handed to Washington. China is said to have been extremely angry over the killing of its engineers. Unfortunately, India is nowhere near this formula of ‘extended troika,’ as Zamir Kabulov had lately said that India does not have any influence on AT, reported TOI on July 22.

 

Meanwhile, as fighting between Ghani forces and AT escalates, it is reported that on July 31, Ghani forces attacked Ariana Afghan Specialty Hospital in Helmand, where AT was getting their fighters treated. 


The worst part is that the Ghani forces attacked it using the helicopters provided by India. ‘ An aircraft provided by India to the Afghan National Security and Defence Force (ANSDF) has been used to bomb a hospital in Helmand province of Afghanistan, the Taliban alleged on Saturday, calling the attack a ‘war crime,’ the Deccan Herald reported on July 31.

 

The Ariana Hospital bombing seems to have disadvantaged India more, which has already vacated its Kandahar, Herat, and Jalalabad consulates. India’s growing worry is that a pro-China and a pro-Pakistan government, supported by Russia, is in the making in Afghanistan, and it is here where India needs to streamline its polity, particularly more so regarding China, which has been constantly interfering lately inside Indian states bordering it.

The Baal Prophets Of America 2020 Elections That Victory Prophecies For Trump Failed

Many pastors, including Pat Robertson, Paula White, and Chris Oyakhilome, prophesied that Trump would win the 2020 elections, but he lost

Many pastors, including Pat Robertson, Paula White, and Chris Oyakhilome, prophesied that Trump would win the 2020 elections, but he lost.


America is a country that has thousands of pastors, so-called prophets, churches, and religious institutions, but the government's crimes against humanity, lies, deceptions, and the killings of innocent people with biological weapons, then shifting the blame on monkeys and bats, are enough to acknowledge the fact that God doesn't communicate with any of those that claim to be prophets in the country.


In the Bible, God communicates with his prophets, such as Elijah, Elisha, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, etc., instructing them to deliver messages and denouncing crimes and wickedness in nations, with warnings of what will befall them if they fail to obey God's commandments.


I have never heard of any American prophet or pastor warning the US government about its crimes against humanity and the killings of innocent people with biological weapons or with laboratory-created diseases inflicted on the innocent populations.


Under the nose of these so-called prophets, Bill Gates takes contaminated vaccines to poor countries, reducing childbirth without the consent of the people, while testing Ebola viruses in Congo. None of these prophets has the vision to see what is going on to warn them.


Then, during the 2020 elections, these so-called prophets suddenly claimed they heard the voice of God, speaking to them that Donald Trump would win. I listened when one quoted Amos 3:7, "Surely the Lord God does nothing, nothing, without revealing his purpose to his servants the prophets." 

 

According to Sid Roth, he has interviewed prophet after prophet that he trusts who have said without blinking an eye that Donald Trump will have two terms, and President Trump is going to win.

Celebrities Whoopi Goldberg, Barbara Streisand, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jon Stewart, are among some of the celebrities that promised to quit America in 2016 if Trump is elected president but they are still there

Celebrities Whoopi Goldberg, Barbara Streisand, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jon Stewart, are among some of the celebrities that promised to quit America in 2016 if Trump is elected president but they are still there


Some of the so-called prophets who predicted victory for Trump were Pat Robertson, an Indian prophet called Sadhu Selvaraj, Pastor Denise Goulet, and Pastor Mark Taylor, who said he is sure that Trump will win. 

 

Then follow Nigerian pastors Chris Oyakhilome and TB Joshua, and other American pastors. Evan Franklin Graham, Michelle Bachmann, prophetess Kat Kerr, Dr. Stella Immanuel, pastor Lance Wallnau, pastor Mark Burns, pastor Paula White, pastor Curt Landry, pastor Robert Jeffress, prophet Kevin Zadai, and pastor Gregg Lock. 

 

As I sit on my bed, listening to those prophecies, which all were carried by the wind to the wilderness or never materialized, instead seeing the miserable defeat of Trump by his rival, Joe Biden, I ask myself, "Why did all these pastors or prophets interested in America's elections fail to see or speak about US crimes against humanity if they are true prophets?"

 

Don't be deceived into calling yourselves pastors or prophets without a vision, because if you claim to be a prophet, as many said that God spoke to them that Donald Trump will win the 2020 elections, they should have heard God's voice saying that monkeys and bats are not responsible for HIV/AIDS and Ebola, but are biological weapons.

 

All these so-called pastors or prophets are like the politicians swearing oaths with the Bible, yet doing the opposite of what the Bible says. How can you be a prophet or pastor and watch such wickedness going on in America without a word? 

 

And here they are today, predicting about the 2020 election victory for someone who doesn't even know God. If Trump knows God, he wouldn't promote racism and white supremacy in the United States of America, and if Trump reads his bible daily, he will remember the verse that says, "God created man in his own image."


In fact, the failure and defeat of Trump by Joe Biden reveal that not all the prophets are genuine; they are all fake pastors or prophets. Do these prophets think God can be mocked? You can never be a good prophet if you fail to speak out against clandestine crimes your country commits. 


Related article: AN OPEN LETTER TO JOE BIDEN


These so-called prophets actually accepted the lies and deceptions of the US government, the World Health Organization, and the Centers for Disease Control, killing innocent people with biological weapons and claiming that bats, monkeys, and bushmeat are responsible.


The failure of Trump to win the elections is enough to tell you that all those prophets are prophets of Baal, occupying the temple that Ahab and his wife Jezebel built for Baal.

Kim Jong-Un Is Still There, But Trump Is Gone

Trump has miserably lost the presidential race to Biden, kicking him out from the White House

Trump has miserably lost the presidential race to Biden, kicking him out from the White House


In life, if you want to be respected, then give the same respect to others. A pastor who preaches virtue to his congregation and practices vice will not only be disrespected but will also lose all his church members. This is exactly what has happened to Donald Trump, after losing to Biden.



In the name of democracy, the American government has established itself in the eyes of the world as a great nation and the land of opportunity but they have no respect for human lives.



Pride, arrogance, underestimation, disrespect, violation of human rights, oppression, medical crimes, etc, are part of America's constitution of democracy that many, especially, poor people in Third World Countries have experienced. 


There is a big difference between respect and fear but it seems the American government has taken respect from poor countries as a fear. Thus, the government takes advantage of the weak and the vulnerable to do everything they like whether good or bad. 



Many world leaders know about the clandestine works of the American government but they hardly speak about it. In the past and present America has committed so much crime against its own people by using them for experimentation and also testing deadly diseases as bio-warfare products on other people outside America. 



The American government enjoys every crime as long as there isn't any confrontation from any part of the world but now some world leaders are becoming fed up and wouldn't tolerate any more from America. One of them is Kim Jong-Un of North Korea.



Frankly speaking, the North Korean leader has no respect for America and the hate he has for that country is beyond description. 


The present showdown between America and North Korea has caught the interest of many countries, especially the enemies of the American government and many hope Kim Jong-Un will teach America a big lesson. 



The question on the lips of many is: Why Kim Jong-Un has been so disrespectful to America? Why was he challenging America to its core by testing missiles despite all the warnings? Why did North Korea treat Otto Warmbier like that to his death? Why Trump can't tame the North Korean leader?



Kim Jong-un doesn’t respect America because he has witnessed how the American government used supremacy to oppress the weak and vulnerable people. Kim Jong-Un knows about the US government’s bio-weapons project for global depopulation, leading to the test of Aids and Ebola in Africa.



For a very long time, like a spy, the North Korean leader knows about the secret killings of scientists and doctors in the country. There is nothing evil or good taking place in America without his knowledge. The man wouldn't have bothered much but he was provoked when the American government popped its nose in North Korea's business.



How can a killer call someone else a killer? That's exactly what America did. The American government covers up its crimes while attacking Kim Jong-Un with publications that he has executed his late uncle's entire family to prevent 'mutiny' - including women and children.



No one is neither defending Kim Jong-Un nor refuting the accusations but the American government does worse things than North Korea. It was when America started interfering in North Korea's politics, the leader also starts revealing the secrets of the American government, including the testing of Ebola in Africa.


Do people expect the North Korean leader to respect the American government? Not at all, that will not happen. These are some of the reasons he continues to show disrespect to the American government testing the eleventh missile so far. The North Korean leader has been in violation forever and doesn't care. 


America is a sad country indeed than what many people think. Their definition of superpower or democracy has been abused making the country one of the most hated countries in the world. The government always dictates to Third World governments, but they don’t listen to anyone.



Trump knows that the North Korean leader is a dangerous man. Over the tension between North Korea and America, Trump started in a very bad way with threats and boasts over the might of the American army. But Kim Jong-Un is not an African leader America can intimidate.



Weeks after Trump couldn't change the mind of Jong-Un, he played it diplomatically saying: "I Would Be Honored to Meet With N. Korean Dictator – Under the Right Circumstances." The US government calls him a dictator but he is there and now where is Donald Trump? Out of the White House.

The 2020 US Election and Its Implications for America and Africa

Trump embraces the sad end of his second-term presidential ambitions as Biden wins the presidential race

Trump embraces the sad end of his second-term presidential ambitions as Biden wins the presidential race 


Worldwide, many world leaders, Americans, and non-Americans were disappointed after Trump lost his second-term bid to be in office as the president, while others too are jubilating for America witnessing Biden becoming the new president.


However, as an African writer, with a different perception of how each American president, including Obama, committed many crimes against humanity in Africa, I don't care who becomes the president of the United States of America. As a matter of fact, Biden will also not be good for Africa. Time will tell.

Political Leadership, Accountability, and Public Trust in Times of Crisis

Trump holds the Bible, but it's written in the same Bible that says God shouldn't be mocked.

Trump holds the Bible, but it's written in the same Bible that says God shouldn't be mocked. 


The hopeless, bitter, and distraught Donald Trump, now calls the coronavirus 'China virus,' because the disease has now killed thousands of innocent people in the United States of America than any country in the world.


The US government is actually the kind of government without shame, remorse, conscience, and integrity because they have more American viruses, including HIV-Aids, Ebola, Burkitt's lymphoma, nodding disease, Kaposi's sarcoma, etc than any country in the world.

Together As One Let's Fight This Coronavirus Pandemic

Hate and division can't conquer the coronavirus

Hate and division can't conquer the coronavirus


If a mistake is done, the correction is often difficult because of obstacles one may encounter, the same thing applies to the coronavirus pandemic. Since last year, the disease which originates from China has decimated the world in a cruel manner that the situation seems to be out of control.


Initial methods to prevent the spread of disease were better handled by many countries across the globe, while other countries that lack the right plans or resources to deal with the situation, allowed the disease to take control over its population.


Despite that Spain and Italy were among the countries that recorded the highest death tolls, they have derived proper measures to deal with the situation, while the cases in the United States of America keep rising without an immediate solution.


Why a country as the United States of America with one of the best health systems keep recording a high number of deaths daily? Many people around the globe following the coronavirus crisis in the country blame the high cost of medical insurance which many people, including the African-Americans, can't afford.


However, examining the political situation in the United States of America, one can't blame the crisis on high medical insurance alone in the country. It is very easy to identify that one of the major causes which have worsened the coronavirus situation in the country is 'political.'


Many people, including the opposition, hate Donald Trump and, therefore, want him to fail. Instead of Americans coming together to fight the disease, they remain divided, using politics as a tool to make things and the handling of the pandemic very difficult for Donald Trump.

It's not a hidden agenda that even though many openly show their support and admiration to the president, he is also surrounded by an empire of deceitful enemies who are not only praying for his failure but also will do everything to see the downfall of Donald Trump. 


Donald Trump's enemies are not giving him any help to fight the disease, instead, they are helping to spread the disease. 


There is a reason people often say that politics is a dirty game, however, if Americans will not put this dirty game aside to help the president, by the time the disease subsides, it may kill millions of Americans, including children, Caucasians, and blacks.

Celebrities who said in 2016 they would leave America if Trump became president

Celebrities Whoopi Goldberg, Barbara Streisand, Samuel L. Jackson, and Ron Stewart, are among some of the celebrities that promised to quit America in 2016 if Trump is elected president but they are still there

Celebrities Whoopi Goldberg, Barbara Streisand, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jon Stewart are among the celebrities who promised to quit America in 2016 if Trump were elected president, but they are still there.

There is no doubt that many people, including Americans and world leaders, hate Donald Trump because of his outrageous character and his exhibition of dictatorship in a so-called democratic country, America. 

He has been branded a racist, he has been insulted, he has been called all sorts of names, and some people even think he is not qualified to be a president because he says stupid things against women or what other American leaders will never say.

The hate for Donald Trump increased significantly during his candidacy for the nomination of the Republican Party in the US presidential election. 

Many celebrities threatened to move to Canada or another country if he became the president of the United States of America.


Among other celebrities who promised or declared to leave America if Trump wins are Whoopi Goldberg, Lena Dunham, Bryan Cranston, Samuel L. Jackson, Amy Schumer, Barbra Streisand, Amber Rose, Jon Stewart, Keegan-Michael Key, Miley Cyrus, Neve Campbell, Cher, and Al Sharpton.


It is often easier said than done; therefore, I am wondering if those celebrities are still living in America to witness more of Trump's carnage in the United States of America. People don't have to say things that they can't do because it disrespects them.


This is one of the reasons Trump has no respect for most of the celebrities, African-Americans, and politicians because he has been winning and defeating all his opponents. 


Accusations were piled up like a mountain on Trump, convincing the whole world that there is no way he is going to escape impeachment, yet he was acquitted. 


Despite all the hate, others like Trump follow his racist actions and comments; therefore, the enemies of Trump should never dream of Trump becoming a better person.


Probably, if those celebrities had done what they said, that would have taught Trump a lesson today to change his arrogance and disrespectful behavior.

RACISM IS PART OF AMERICA'S CONSTITUTION



The controversial  Donald Trump loved by racist Americans

The controversial  Donald Trump loved by racist Americans


Decades after the abolition of slavery, it wouldn't have been a problem if America wants to live in peace with African-Americans, after all, they didn't call for slavery but that's not what America wants because discrimination and racism, are part of the country's constitution.


America is a country of oppression that runs the Apartheid system of government. The best way to cover their clandestine and sinister activities is to make noise about democracy but the United States of America's deception and hypocrisy, are taking its toll on the country today.

Racism is not written on the forehead of people who think a particular race is important than others or other people are inferior or sub-human. It is the action, philosophy, and sick ideology of people that make them pure racists. Donald Trump has a similar ideology of racial hate embedded in his brain.

Already, Trump is experiencing the toughest period in his life as the president, since the coronavirus has taken its toll on American citizens in a such a destructive manner that Trump now depends on a miracle from heaven to let the epidemic vanish from that country, however, this is not going to happen, until the right thing is done.

Trump, as a matter of fact, lacks leadership skills and on many occasions showed his weakest part in solving racial and gun violence problems in the country, yet he has many fans or people that like him. Yes, many like Trump because about 70% of Americans are racist. Birds of the same feather flock together.

In Ghana, my country, there is a proverb that says "Those that behead people fear to sleep because they are scared some else can behead them." Thus, people that often try to show to the world that they are brave, many times are rather cowards. Donald Trump is one of them. He talks a lot but he is a coward. 

I can't confirm it but I read he went to hide in a bunker at the White House amidst the demonstration against the police officer that killed George Floyd.

If you hate black people, you will hate everything associated with black, whether the people are in Africa or America. Donald Trump doesn't only hate African-Americans, he hates the continent of Africa as well. Referring to the continent as "Shithole Nation" is a piece of ample evidence.

I am aware that coward Trump will never step Africa until his death. I wasn't surprised to read that “US First Lady Melania Trump announced that she would visit Ghana, Malawi, Kenya, and Egypt, on her first major international solo trip to promote child welfare and education.

Why Melanie Trump, instead of Donald Trump? Because he is scared to death and the countries his wife visited are countries that Ebola didn't occur. 

Melanie is not only scared to visit any of the countries hit by Ebola but wouldn't like to feel guilty in a country deliberately killed by a biological weapon of the US government, while together with the World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control, they continue to lie to the world that bats are responsible.

How long can one fight the truth? And how long can one keep suppressing information? The answers can be traced to the current epidemic of the coronavirus or COVID-19.

WHY THE GOOD HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE FOR COVID- 19 PATIENTS NOW IN A CENTER OF CONTROVERSY

A piece of evidence that Africans believe in Dr. Didier Raoult than Bill Gates

A piece of evidence that Africans believe in Dr. Didier Raoult more than Bill Gates


The current debate or controversy in America over chloroquine-hydroxychloroquine is not in the interest of saving the lives of coronavirus patients, but only to make profits from certain drugs that Bill Gates has funded for the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control.


The mainstream media, which Trump often calls 'Fake News,' political opponents, and some organizations, including the Food and Drug Administration, are condemning the usage of the medicine, despite Donald Trump's claims that he is using the drug to protect himself from infection.
 

As a matter of fact, politics in America and hate against the president have done more harm to the American public than good. Since the time the French doctor Didier Raoult declared that hydroxychloroquine can be useful for coronavirus patients, the doctor has become a public enemy.
 

The fact that pharmaceutical companies are interested in making vaccines to generate profit, those not interested in using the drug continue to declare chloroquine dangerous for humans. However, there has been a trial in France, and the result wasn't as bad as the fake American media wants everyone to believe.
 

The world knows that Israel is a country with great scientists. They are intelligent enough to know if hydroxychloroquine is dangerous to humans. In my opinion, if the drug is dangerous, Israel wouldn't approve it: Reference:  ISRAEL APPROVES CHLOROQUINE FOR TREATING COVID-19.

Hydroxychloroquine is a molecule derived from chloroquine whose structure is chemically similar; properties are common, but hydroxychloroquine is not indicated for the treatment of malaria in France. It has been used for many years in the treatment of certain autoimmune pathologies under the name of Plaquenil.

 

This medication is recommended for people with rheumatoid arthritis and lupus erythematosus. It is also used to prevent allergies caused by the sun ( lucite). It is administered orally and comes in the form of a tablet to be taken at the end of meals. 

 

 The dosage and duration of treatment vary depending on the disorders presented. This medication is contraindicated in children under 6 years of age, during breastfeeding, and in cases of retinal disease (retinopathy).

 

Is chloroquine or its derivative, hydroxychloroquine, actually good for the treatment of coronavirus? To find out, the Minister of Health, Olivier Véran, announced on March 21 the launch of a trial named  Discovery and coordinated by Inserm to test the effectiveness of four treatments, including chloroquine, on 3,200 coronavirus patients, including 800 French patients. 

 

Without waiting for results and faced with the influx of COVID-19 patients in France, the government authorized on March 26 the administration of this drug to patients with severe forms of the coronavirus. 

 

This was a decision certainly driven by the evidence of the effectiveness of treatment provided by Pr Didier Raoult, Director of the Mediterranean Infection Marseille University Hospital Institute (Bouches-du-Rhône)

 

On March 26, 2020, a decree was published in the Official Journal to authorize the prescription and administration of hydroxychloroquine to patients with severe forms of COVID-19 in the hospital and on their return home.

 

In this decree, it is specified that the drug Plaquenil and preparations based on hydroxychloroquine can only be dispensed by pharmacies as part of an initial prescription exclusively from specialists in rheumatology, internal medicine, dermatology, nephrology, neurology, or pediatrics, or as part of a refill from any doctor. 

 

What do the studies show?

 

Several studies published at the start of the coronavirus epidemic seek to assess the effects of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine on COVID-19SARS-CoV-2 cases:

 

• An article published in the journal Cell Research on February 4 demonstrated that these molecules prevent the entry and exit steps of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in cells cultured in vitro (in a tube), thus effectively stopping its replication and its spread.

 

• Several Chinese clinical trials have also proven their good tolerance.

• On February 19, the authors of a letter published in Bioscience Trends mentioned an apparent efficacy and an acceptable tolerance of this treatment in view of the data, still unpublished, of 15 clinical studies in 10 hospitals in Wuhan, Jingzhou, Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, and Ningbo.

 

In France, Professor Didier Raoult, who supports hydroxychloroquine, used this drug in patients with severe forms of the coronavirus. He administered it for the first time on March 16, 2020, to 20 sick patients in his department at the rate of 600 mg of hydroxychloroquine per day associated with azithromycin (an antibiotic of the family of macrolides). 

 

Six days later, the infectious disease specialist indicated that only 25% of them were still carrying the virus, while 90% of those who had not received treatment were still positive. 

 

"Our investigation shows that treatment with hydroxychloroquine is significantly associated with the reduction/disappearance of the state COVID–19 viral load in COVID-19 patients, "the conclusions.


Editorial

On  April 1, 2020, I published an article entitled - Dr. Raoult Calls On Africans Not To Take Bill Gates’ Covid–19 Vaccine and later found out that an organization called "nobaschecker,    claims to be independent investigators on health news, denounced the article as fake news. My investigation has also revealed that the man is associated with the World Health Organization to suppress information.

WHY IT IS ESSENTIAL FOR AMERICANS TO VOTE FOR TRUMP AGAIN

President Donald is sincere than many American presidents

President Donald is sincere than many American presidents.


I don’t know, in general, how Americans evaluate and analyze their presidents’ performance in the office. Even though I am not a political analyst, I have my concrete reasons why Americans must not waste their votes on Joe Biden but must consider voting for Trump to complete his full term in office.



What I see about Americans is that they only care about matters of the country and, therefore, evaluate how their leaders solve them. Americans are never interested in what happens outside their country, despite the bad and selfish policies of the US government that have caused misery and suffering to other people in the third world.
 

Being a true-born African, I take into consideration what Americans don't care about, especially the sinister and clandestine plans some of the American leaders applied to invade foreign countries, either to control their treasures or to kill innocent people. 
 

As a matter of fact, if there are genuine and effective laws, free from hypocrisy and lies, with no bogus International Criminal Court in the Hague, American leaders, such as Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, should have been jailed for crimes they committed in foreign countries.
 

America preaches about democracy, but the country is lawless, like of many African countries. This is one of the reasons they can't find solutions to control their gun problems. 


Bill Clinton


Without wasting much time, let me bring out the points to support my accusations. After the Al Qaeda attack in Kenya on August 7, 1998, Clinton ordered missile strikes on a pharmaceutical factory in Sudan. According to Clinton, the site was being used by Osama bin Laden to manufacture chemical weapons, but it wasn’t.
 

It was just an ordinary pharmaceutical factory. A factory that supplied over 50% of Sudan’s medicine. The authorization of this senseless bombing of the pharmaceutical factory didn’t only expose Clinton as one of the American presidents who don’t want to see progress on the African continent, but also to kill innocent people as well.

 

We read much about the Rwanda genocide and the events that escalated the war. On April 6, 1994, a plane carrying Rwandan president Juvénal Habyarimana and Burundian president Cyprien Ntaryamira was shot down, and the two were assassinated.

 

A great massacre began, such as Africa had never seen before. The peasants set fire to households, slit their throats, and crushed their skulls. Rwanda flowed with blood and was engulfed in flames. At that time, the country had a population of 2.6 million, including 300.000 Tutsis.

 

Both the US and the Belgian governments were behind Paul Kagame, the present Rwandan leader, born to a Tutsi family in southern Rwanda, enabling the Hutus to be killed in the genocide.

 

Hundreds of articles have been written about the Rwanda genocide, but enough information has never been provided linking Bill Clinton's administration and Belgium to the genocide. 

About the latter, I read it in a book called 'The Shadow Of The Sun' by a Polish journalist called Ryszard Kapuscinski. 

 

George W. Bush 


A lie is manifested in three ways: by thought, by word, and by life itself. The lie has defeated the truth, thus it's now seen as a normal thing without shame. This is why I often say: "The truth is not a commodity sold in the shop, yet only a few people can afford it."

Tony Blair and George Bush, the genetic twin-liars

Tony Blair and George Bush, the genetic twin liars


It is neither an exaggeration nor fabricated stories that those who lie are the ones that receive the honors or awards. The reason you’ll find the images of George W. Bush honoring former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, because both lied and invaded Iraq, killed the Iraqis and Saddam Hussein, yet no weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq.

 

Barack Obama


Morality is Truth. Africa shall overcome, but before the African continent will have a sweet taste of real freedom, our leaders must begin to think like adults and stop supporting the crimes of the West and the US government directed against Africans.

 

Barack Obama is responsible for Ebola, which struck the West African countries of Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea simultaneously in 2014. Thereafter, the virus appeared more than a dozen times in Congo, prompting the North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, and the Russian leader, Vladimir Putin, to accuse Bill Gates of testing Ebola in Congo.

Barack Obama decorates Bill Gates for Ebola job well done, both are responsible for Ebola in West Africa and Congo

Barack Obama decorates Bill Gates for the Ebola job well done; both are responsible for Ebola in West Africa and Congo.


Biological weapons are often tested in Africa to find vaccines to generate profit, and Bill Gates has been behind this for a very long time. This is one of the reasons he is very close to the World Health Organization, even though he has no qualifications in medicine. 

 

Before you ask me any question or doubt what I write, please ask yourself why the U.S. Centers for Disease Control owns a patent on a particular strain of Ebola known as "EboBun." It's patent No. CA2741523A1, and it was awarded in 2010. 

 

Donald Trump

 

Based on these facts, I don't see any reason Americans have to deny Donald Trump the chance to be in office for the second time. 

 

He is neither responsible for Ebola nor coronavirus. His enemies want to use the coronavirus to pull him down, but we know that it's pure hypocrisy, which is part of all politics. No American leader could have done better than Trump in this COVID-19 pandemic. Trump deserves a second term.

TRUMP IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CORONAVIRUS BUT OBAMA WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR EBOLA


Images of Obama, Biden, and Trump

Images of Obama, Biden, and Trump


American politics is not only becoming meaningless and hypocritical but also deceitful. Those that hate Donald Trump, are hypocrites. I will tell readers the reason.


Where comes from this witch-hunting surrounding the presidency of Donald Trump? Is Trump responsible for the coronavirus? Which American president would have done better than Trump in this COVID 19 crisis?


September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks took the American government by surprise but the government under Obama's administration can't deny that they are not aware that Ebola is going to strike West Africa, because it was a bio-weapon planted and triggered in Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia by the American government.

Obama passed through the most unpleasant situations, including racism, hate, and discrimination during his political campaign before becoming the first black president of the United States of America.

To reduce or eliminate that hatred in America, Obama did both evil and good things to please the world and Americans. The killing of Africans with Ebola, as a bio-weapon, for the military defending purpose, was one of the evil things Obama did under his administration.

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,' said Obama and he did it by killing Africans with Ebola, to please the American government.

That truly confirmed and affirmed Obama as a 'great' president. Should in case he couldn't do that murderous task because he is an African, would have portrayed him as a weak leader. 

We understand Donald Trump promising to make America great again. There are many things going on clandestine in America, which he is against it and wants to change it. Who knows if the medical bio-weapons against Africa are among some of the issues he wants to tackle.

Now under his administration, the world waits patiently to see what happens to Africa after HIV/Aids, Ebola, and other man-made diseases. 

The world is also interested to see how he will take the realms of the corrupt pharmaceuticals, science, and public health because there are certain institutions, such as WHO and CDC, that needed to be closed down indefinitely or purged but still operating because of their criminal activities.

Americans have never seen the kind of a man like Trump as a president. They don't hate Trump because he is a bad man but they are scared he is going to reveal more of hidden secrets because he is an open-minded person.

Obama’s first few months in office

When the H1N1 flu pandemic broke out within Obama’s first few months in office, according to WHO's Mr. FLU Ab Osterhaus, nearly 61 million Americans eventually contracted it. He later had to contend with the worst outbreak of Ebola in history, which left thousands dead in Africa as a result.

We think Trump could not be more different. Where Obama was calm, perhaps a little aloof in his critics’ eyes, Trump will act in a situation like this as an unguided projectile; “A single Ebola carrier infects 2 others at a minimum,” Trump tweeted in November 2014.

STOP THE FLIGHTS NO VISAS FROM EBOLA STRICKEN COUNTRIES!

Trump even became conspiratorial at times, casting doubt on the scientific consensus. But despite that Trump too takes the crisis seriously, he said repeatedly on the campaign trail how much he had heard about it.

In the final weeks of the campaign, Trump laid out a detailed plan for addressing the crisis. He emphasized the need for better additional treatment and reiterated policies supported by Obama, such as raising the cap on how many patients doctors can treat for opioid addiction.

Trump could focus more on law enforcement than Obama did. He liked to say on the trail that his proposed wall on the Mexican border would keep out heroin along with undocumented immigrants. 

But unless the president-elect departs dramatically from his campaign rhetoric, he will largely build on what Obama has started.



Why today if the coronavirus which Trump is not responsible has killed thousands of Americans, the opposition party wants to use this against him? 

Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden are among some of the wicked souls that destroyed America before Trump became president. Surprisingly, some impaired vision Americans can't acknowledge this fact.

In my opinion, it will be the biggest mistake in the political history of America, if Joe Biden is elected as the president of the United States of America.

WHY TRUMP IS RIGHT TO STOP FINANCING THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION


Donald Trump is right to stop financing the World Health Organization


Donald Trump is right to stop financing the World Health Organization


The United States will investigate the World Health Organization's management failures during the epidemic and until this issue is clarified, it will cease payments to its budget. Donald Trump accuses WHO of defending Chinese interests.


Trump decides to temporarily cut off funding for the World Health Organization, until Washington examines how WHO responded to the crisis with the coronavirus pandemic. He made the corresponding statement on Tuesday, April 14, at a briefing at the White House.

The United States, according to Trump, is going to study management failures by WHO and the organization’s role in the spread of coronavirus from 60 to 90 days. 

Trump criticized the position of WHO, which sided with China when the United States imposed restrictions on air traffic with this country, and praised China’s openness. 

According to Trump, the United States contributes $ 400-500 million annually to the World Health Organization budget, which is more than 10 times the contributions of China.

The DPA agency notes that Trump’s criticism is based on the opinion of some experts who believe that, at an early stage of the epidemic, WHO trusted the data from China too much and, relying on Chinese estimates, actually ignored information from Taiwan that coronavirus can be transmitted from person to person. 

According to Trump, excessive trust in China has led to the fact that twenty times more people are infected with the coronavirus than they should have.

Trump announced plans to stop funding WHO as early as April 8th. "WHO has done stupid things. For unknown reasons, the organization, which is mainly funded by the United States, has focused all its attention on China. 

We will carefully study this issue," Trump wrote on Twitter. Trump has previously criticized many international organizations, including NATO and the UN.



Editorial


Many hate Donald Trump and make fun of him but his decisions on many issues deserve applause. On our first health blog "Secrets Of Aids And Ebola Facts Journal," we have written extensively about the criminal activities of the World Health Organization.

When Ebola exploded in the West African countries of Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia, the World Health Organization, deliberately delayed and responded late to the crisis, leading to a rapid spread and deaths of thousands of people.


We wrote about this on our blog and eventually, the World Health Organization apologized. Therefore, we - the writers of 'Secrets of Aids And Ebola  FactsJournal,   https://secretsofaidsandebola.blogspot.com/ support Trump for his decision.

Yes, Donald Trump's administration must investigate the World Health Organization's management failures during the coronavirus epidemic. 

People see the World Health Organization and the Centers for Diseases Control as special but thousands around the globe are not aware of the criminal activities of these two health organizations.

Some of the criminal activities of the World Health Organization are administering contaminated vaccines to children in Africa and providing false information on its website about Aids and Ebola, while the two diseases are biological weapons.

The current Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, actually is one of the criminals ever to be known in the history of medicine.

Primitive lives that undermine Africa's development


Is this culture, tradition or illiteracy?

Is this culture, tradition, or illiteracy?



No one gives respect to countries in which citizens don’t have any respect for themselves or their leaders. Slavery, colonialism, apartheid, AIDS, Ebola, or whatever is not possible in the developed world, but is possible in Africa because Africans trust and give respect to the white man, while they hate themselves.


The way Africans, including Ghanaians, hate and treat themselves will always be an opportunity for the developed world to do any evil thing they wish in the African continent, because, after all, they don’t love themselves.

Last year, during a meeting, President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti, and El Salvador as "shithole" nations.  The 55-nation African Union said the remarks were clearly racist, while Botswana's government called Trump's comment reprehensible and racist. Yet, many African countries, including Ghana, continue to insult themselves, followed by derogatory comments.

The question is: Why was the African continent angry with Trump if Ghanaians are calling their leaders’ names worse than the reference to Africa as a ‘shithole nation ’? Recently, I posted an article on the ModernGhana news site entitled “Two Mistakes That Have Given Nana Akufo-Addo International Recognition.” https://bit.ly/2BTjb8A

It was an article based on facts, without any insult to the president, yet there was a comment from someone who said, “This is what you can write about your president? Stupid fool, this is not gonna affect the president, but the entire nation. Destroying the president to the world is like destroying the whole nation.”

I replied to the one by saying, “This is the problem with stupid Ghanaians such as Owoahene; they can't stand the truth. You are stupid, the reason you can't even write your real name. In the first place, your president is the only person who has 110 ministers and copied American leaders’ speeches. What's wrong with my article?

Yet, that Ghanaian who wasn’t happy with what I wrote has no guts or brain to protest or comment against the insults directed at the former Ghanaian leader, John Mahama. Just read the Ghanaian papers, including ModernGhana, and you’ll be shocked to read names, insults, and derogatory comments against the ex-Ghanaian leader, yet Africans often accuse the white man of being racist.

According to history, civilization began in Africa, but sometimes, I doubt if this history carries any truth because Africa is the most backward, heavily demented, superstitious, and illiterate continent, without any progress, yet not ready to change their ways and outrageous characters. Hypocrisy, corruption, nepotism, tribalism, and hatred are what Africa stands for.

When it comes to hypocrisy, I can say with confidence that about 65% of Ghanaians are pure hypocrites. Many don’t read before passing comments. I shared my experience in an article captioned “Why Travelling To Ghana Scares Me To Death,’ after losing 10,000 euros I invested in Ghana due to a fraudulent chief who sold the land for me.

The article didn’t generate many comments on ‘ModernGhana,’ but it got 55 comments on ‘GhanaWeb.’ After going through the comments, I was shocked to read what some Ghanaians wrote. Under some of my articles, some people have used my name—Joel Savage, like the commenter—even though I hardly visit Ghanaweb. Why do many Ghanaians behave in that way?

To find the truth behind AIDS and Ebola as biological weapons, I travelled to see one of Holland’s best scientists, former Professor Johan Van Dongen, and then later went to Germany to see Dr. Wolff Geisler, who has also written books about AIDS, Ebola, and other man-made diseases.

The two in medical professions don’t know each other, yet the documents they gave me all point fingers at the US government for creating the biological weapons AIDS and Ebola to depopulate the rapidly growing population of Africa, destabilize our economy, and take control over Africa’s rich resources.

Yet, when I started publishing the truth behind Aids and Ebola on the ModernGhana news site, many people, including Ghanaians, attacked and insulted me. What kind of hypocrisy is that, and how do Africans expect Africa to grow if they maintain such ugly attitudes?

Foreign diplomats, including Americans, continue to surround Africa, taking pictures with African leaders with beautiful smiles. Do African leaders think foreign powers like them because they are Black or African? It’s because of what they desperately need in Africa, the rich resources; they show that false smile and love to African leaders.

They say Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome originated in Africa. Has any intelligent African leader asked the US government, "Why haven't thousands of African-Americans been to Africa before after slavery?" Therefore, why has the disease AIDS drastically affected both original Africans and African-Americans in the same manner?  

How do we expect Africa to move forward if the continent is under leaders interested in the money the US government gives them to cover up every crime committed, rather than the welfare and health of its citizens? Yesterday was AIDS, today is Ebola, and who knows what comes tomorrow?

THE HITLER-ISM IN MUGABE


Robert Mugabe liberated the Rhodesians from colonial oppression in 1980 but today's Zimbabweans demanded his resignation


Robert Mugabe liberated the Rhodesians from colonial oppression in 1980 but today's Zimbabweans demanded his resignation 


Do you know that Robert Mugabe before becoming the president of Zimbabwe was a teacher in Ghana? It was in the country formerly called Gold Coast; he met his first wife, a Ghanaian lady called Sally Francesca Heyfron. 


Like the late Ghanaian leader, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Mugabe fought tirelessly to free Rhodesia under colonial oppression and in 1980, the newly freed country became Zimbabwe. 

The controversial Mugabe ruled Zimbabweans for 37 years with an iron fist. Was he too old to think about the welfare of the suffering people in this country?


Mugabe, the highly educated 93-year-old leader, doesn't like both American and British leaders and has spoken against a wide range of topics; from homosexuality and Britain to Barack Obama and Donald Trump.

Mugabe ruled for almost four decades. His rule dramatically came to an end this week. Here are some of his famous quotes.


On imperialism


"Africa must revert to what it was before the imperialists divided it. These are artificial divisions which we, in our pan-African concept, will seek to remove." - Speech at Salisbury, 1962

"Stay with us, please remain in this country and constitute a nation based on national unity." - A plea to the white population of Zimbabwe at a Zanu-PF rally, 1980

"Only God, who appointed me, will remove me - not the MDC, not the British. Only God will remove me!" - Election rally, 2008. MDC is an opposition party.

"Our party must continue to strike fear in the heart of the white man, our real enemy." - Zanu-PF rally, 2002


On homosexuality:


"We ask, was he born out of homosexuality? We need continuity in our race, and that comes from the woman, and no to homosexuality. John and John, no; Maria and Maria, no. They are worse than dogs and pigs. I keep pigs and the male pig knows the female one." - ZDC radio interview, 2015

"We equally reject attempts to prescribe 'new rights' that are contrary to our values, norms, traditions, and beliefs. We are not gays!" - UNGA, 2015 
On Britain:

"Britain is a very cold, uninhabitable country with small houses." - Mutare rally, 2013 

"We are still exchanging blows with the British government. They are using gay gangsters. Each time I pass through London, the gangster regime of Blair 'expresses its dismay'." In reference to an incident in which human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell attempted a citizens' arrest on Mugabe during a visit to London in October 1999.

"We have fought for our land, we have fought for our sovereignty, small as we are we have won our independence and we are prepared to shed our blood ... So, Blair keeps your England, and let me keep my Zimbabwe." - Earth Summit, South Africa, 2002.


On Hitler:


"I am still the Hitler of the time. This Hitler has only one objective: justice for his people, sovereignty for his people, recognition of the independence of his people and their rights over their resources. If that is Hitler, then let me be Hitler tenfold. Ten times, that is what we stand for." - State funeral of a Cabinet minister, 2003


On the economy:


"Our economy is a hundred times better, than the average African economy. Outside South Africa, what country is [as good as] Zimbabwe? … What is lacking now are goods on the shelves - that is all." - Interview, 2007.


On Jesus Christ:


"I have died many times - that's where I have beaten Christ. Christ died once and resurrected once." - To state radio on 88th birthday

On cricket:
"Cricket civilizes people and creates good gentlemen I want everyone to play cricket in Zimbabwe; I want ours to be a nation of gentlemen." - This is a widely reported quote, but it was unclear when Mugabe said this.


On US presidents:


"Let Mr. Bush read history correctly. Let him realize that both personally and in his representative capacity as the current president of the United States, he stands for this 'civilization', which occupied, which colonized, which incarcerated, which killed. 

He has much to atone for and very little to lecture us on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. His hands drip with [the] innocent blood of many nationalities." - UNGA, 2007

"I've just concluded - since President Obama endorses same-sex marriage, advocates homosexual people, and enjoys an attractive countenance - thus if it becomes necessary, I shall travel to Washington, DC, get down on my knee, and ask his hand." - ZDC radio interview, 2015

"Some of us were embarrassed, if not frightened, by what appeared to be the return of the biblical giant gold Goliath. Are we having a return of Goliath to our midst, who threatens the extinction of other countries?" - UNGA, 2017

"May I say to the United States President, Mr. Trump, please blow your trumpet. Blow your trumpet in a musical way towards the values of unity, peace, cooperation, togetherness, dialogue, which we have always stood for." - UNGA, 2017


On grooming a successor:


"Grooming a successor, is it an inheritance? In a democratic party, you don't want leaders appointed that way. They have to be appointed properly by the people." - TV interview, 2016
