DEATH CULT DEATH TOLL HITS 95
A death cult preaching self-starvation as the way to meet Jesus is feared to have claimed at least 95 lives, as more bodies - including whole families - are exhumed in Kenya.
The grim discovery has shocked the nation. Most of the victims were in poverty. It’s thought the cult, which runs a church, preyed on the desperate.
The case has prompted calls for better regulation of church organisations, and for more to be done to address economic inequalities.

SCREW AFRICA, CLIMATE CHANGE BENEFITS AMERICA!
We know Africa is suffering from climate change. Extreme weather events are happening more frequently on the continent, according to the World Meteorological Organisation. And that’s causing floods, droughts and a rise in infectious disease. However, a US senator thinks that’s okay because global warming benefits the US and Europe, with hotter weather reducing excess deaths. The US is the world’s second-biggest Co2 polluter after China, but he thinks there’s nothing to worry about as long as America's not hurting. Talk about selfishness!
Here’s a snippet of Sen. Ron Johnson at a recent Senate committee meeting, confirming just how reckless he is.

RACIST WORLD MAP
Despite being bigger than most other land masses, Africa is depicted way smaller than it really is on many maps. Put it another way, white countries get beefed up and Black countries get shrunk. Think we’re lying? Listen to activist Jane Elliot’s explanation on the Oprah Winfrey show. According to her, maps are definitely racist. However, others argue the Mercator map was designed for mariners in the 16th century, and has no sinister undertones. Although that begs the question, why do we still use it?

NASSER BLASTING BRITAIN
After coming out on top in the Suez Crisis, Egyptian President, Gamal Abdel Nasser, was empowered. He responded to insults made by UK state broadcaster, the BBC, with a tirade of his own, taking aim at the British Queen. To him, the events of 1956 symbolised a new era in world politics. He’d nationalised the strategic waterway and withstood attacks from Israel and colonial powers. That made him a hero at home, and was cheered during this famous speech.

SANCTIONS DESTROY DOLLAR
Washington’s weaponisation of the dollar is undermining its status as the world’s reserve currency. That was the astonishing admission of US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, during a recent CNN interview. America has imposed sanctions on dozens of countries, including Zimbabwe and Eritrea. But that’s spurring many to find alternative payment systems, and a rush to get out of the greenback.

BRAINWASHED TO SELF-HATE?
Were Africans brainwashed into hating themselves? The African Union’s ex-ambassador to the US, Arikana Chihombori, explains how colonial missionaries were tasked with ‘teaching’ Africans - or rather, with conditioning them into thinking - that they were inferior.

Behold the majestic pyramid of Giza. The British would no doubt have stolen this African treasure too if it hadn’t been too heavy! Thank the Lord!
They colonised Egypt at the end of the 19th century. The chief aim was to gain control of the Suez Canal and secure trade routes to India. But being able to exploit Egypt’s vast resources and manpower was an added bonus.
Although their presence met with deep resentment and resistance, they occupied the country for 7 decades. The last British troops were pulled out in 1956.

SUDAN’S SUBORDINATE REFUGEES
The British government is accused of double standards over the help offered to Ukrainian and Sudanese refugees. While thousands of Ukrainians receive asylum in the UK, the same level of support is not shown to those fleeing the Sudan conflict. Protesters vented their anger on the streets of the UK, with some pointing to institutional racism.
