If Young Achievers And Self-Made Individuals Dominated Ghana's Political Parties, Would That Lead To A Prosperous Ghana?

The story of the former Mahama-era District Chief Executive (DCE), of the Fanteakwa District, Hon. Abaas Fuseini  Sbaabe, is an interesting one. It is an inspiring tale  of a self-made man from very humble beginnings, who apparently was born and grew up in Begoro. 


Perhaps had social media been around,  at the time he started out on his journey to the top,  as a precocious and talented 14-year old embroidery designer, at Begoro, he would have probably ended up as  a celibrity and YouTube star, raking in zillions online as an influencer, in short order.


When such brilliant achievers (from across the political spectrum) enter the world of Ghanaian politics,  and focus on creating and growing an entrepreneurial culture amongst our younger generations (as their main area of interest in politics), and put the national interest, ahead of party advantage, always,  Ghana will prosper. For sure.


For, it is  that mindset that moulds the young politicians who eventually become perfect nation-builders, and ideally ought to end up in key  leadership positions in their parties - as leaders who always see the big picture: the empowerment of those in the base-of-the-pyramid demographic to bootstrap their way out of the poverty trap. 


That makes for stability and national cohesion, as it fosters inclusiveness  in society, and lowers social tensions between the different social classes,  nationwide. We ought to have more of such achievers and self-made  individuals in all the political parties in Ghana - whose wisdom and open-mindedness will enable them dominate their parties. That will end the abominable-parochial-politiking tearing our nation apart, so egregiously.


That is the sure-fire way to rid our country of endemic poverty and make ours a prosperous society with a can-do spirit - blessed with an aspirational citizenry and independent-minded politicians: with the nous and gumption to cope with, and overcome, existential threats such as galamsey, illegal sandwinning, the abominal illegal logging contributing to rapid-deforestation across Ghana, and, above all, COVID-19. If  young achievers and self-made individuals dominated Ghana's political parties, it would definitely lead to a prosperous Ghana.

Crazy Ideas To Confront And Defeat COVID-19 - A Crazy Existential Threat To Mother Ghana?

The lockdown to contain COVID-19 must  be  carried out now, nationwide, for a month. And digital money created by the Bank of Ghana  ought to be deposited into new accounts with it for all Ghanaians, to enable them cope with this sudden and dramatic disruption to their lives.

At least GHC2000 of the new BoG digital money should be deposited into every account, once the digital currency is created. It is the only way we will avoid catastrophe during the strictly enforced lockdown. 

Faced with a virus that has the potential to kill millions of Ghanaians, and which can be prevented from infecting our people, by the simple act of washing hands under running water from taps,  it is intolerable that public-sector employees tasked to produce and distribute potable water, lack the gumption and nous to do so, in such perilous times,  regardless of the challenges they face. They have failed our nation.

That is why the Engineers Regiment of the Ghana Armed Forces  (GAF), must take over the Ghana Water Company Limited  (GWCL),  as soon as practicable - and ensure that Ghanaians have water nationwide.

Mining on streams, rivers and other water bodies across Ghana must be banned forthwith  - and a shoot-to-kill policy to deal with all galamsayers adopted.
 

Using Raphael Afordoanyi's serendipitous game-changing clean power invention (for which he must be suitably compensated now, and given ownership of again, after the emergency is over), the military engineers, together with Raphael Afordoanyi, must collaborate to build desalination plants along our coastline, which will be able to produce potable water and truly affordable power, for  all Ghana's coastal cities and towns, going forward into the future.

Raphael's invention will lower the production costs of the GWCL's other river-dependent production plants dramatically, too.

Finally, all the above will doubtless sound nonsensical to most clever people in Ghana, but  extraordinary challenges of an existential nature, demand extreme solutions that won't make any sense to logical minds trained in our chew-and-pour educational system - but are indeed real and perfect solutions for the clear and present danger COVID-19 poses to our survival as a people. These are crazy ideas for dealing with a crazy existential threat to our nation and its people.  Hmmmm, yoooo...

NoMoreFakeNews/Jon Rappoport: Coronavirus: toxic drugs, no liability for pharma



Coronavirus: toxic drugs, no liability for pharma
(To read about Jon's mega-collection, The Matrix Revealed, click here.)
First, we have this, from the World Health Organization (WHO): "There is no specific medicine to prevent or treat coronavirus disease (COVID-19)."

Nevertheless, doctors around the world, often with the approval of their national governments, are treating many patients with experimental or "off-label" antiviral drugs.

Here are some names of the medicines: Chloroquine, Remdesivir, Ribavirin, favipiravir, lopinavir; ritonavir, hydroxychloroquine, Sofosbuvir, corticosteroids, oseltamivir, zanamivir.

They all have adverse effects.

What to do?

Answer: decide that no one who is injured by the drugs can file a suit.

In America: Done.

From druganddevicelawblog[dot]com, March 18, 2020, "We Finally Have Something To Say About COVID-19":

"On March 17, 2020, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") published in the Federal Register a 'notice of declaration' conferring broad-based immunity from tort (including product liability) litigation for those engaging in 'activities related to medical countermeasures against COVID-19.'  This declaration is now published at 85 Fed. Reg. 15198 (HHS March 17, 2020)."

"HHS is conferring tort immunity...The immunity extends to 'any claim of loss caused by, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from the manufacture, distribution, administration, or use of medical countermeasures'...The immunity extends not only to COVID-19-fighting drugs, but also to 'products or technologies intended to enhance the use or effect of a drug, biological product [vaccine], or device used against the pandemic'...The only exception is for 'willful misconduct'."

"The immunity being conferred shoves other federal laws aside as well as preempting state law."

And that takes care of that.

A patient is given an antiviral drug and dies?  No law suit can be filed.  Anyone associated with the drug, from manufacturer down to prescribing doctor, is exempt from liability.

Take one example of a drug, Chloroquine.  It's approved for the treatment of malaria, and now some doctors are using it on their COVID patients.  From webmd[dot]com, here is the "side effects" section:

* "Blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, headache, and diarrhea may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly."

* "Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects."

* "Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: bleaching of hair color, hair loss, mental/mood changes (such as confusion, personality changes, unusual thoughts/behavior, depression), hearing changes (such as ringing in the ears, hearing loss), darkening of skin/tissue inside the mouth, worsening of skin conditions (such as dermatitis, psoriasis), signs of serious infection (such as high fever, severe chills, persistent sore throat), unusual tiredness, swelling legs/ankles, shortness of breath, pale lips/nails/skin, signs of liver disease (such as severe stomach/abdominal pain, yellowing eyes/skin, dark urine), easy bruising/bleeding, muscle weakness, unwanted/uncontrolled movements (including tongue and face twitching)."

* "This medication may rarely cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Tell your doctor right away if you develop symptoms of low blood sugar, such as sudden sweating, shaking, hunger, blurred vision, dizziness, or tingling hands/feet. If you have diabetes, be sure to check your blood sugars regularly. Your doctor may need to adjust your diabetes medication."

* "Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: severe dizziness, fainting, fast/slow/irregular heartbeat, seizures."

* "This medication may cause serious eye/vision problems. The risk for these side effects is increased with long-term use of this medication (over weeks to years) and with taking this medication in high doses. Get medical help right away if you have any symptoms of serious eye problems, including: severe vision changes (such as light flashes/streaks, difficulty reading, complete blindness)."

* "A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing."

* "This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist."

No liability.  No law suits.  No problem.

Except for the patient.

An Update For Australia's Mirreco

Dear Mirreco,

Ghana's Parliament just  passed a Bill into an Act to legalise  the growing of industrial hemp in Ghana: https://www.graphic.com.gh/news/general-news/ghana-news-ghana-parliament-passes-narcotics-control-commission-bill.html.
(So, in effect, the government of Ghana has now provided the legal framework, for companies such as Mirreco,  to partner it in public private partnerships (PPP), in infrastructure projects across the country.)


The new legislation thus secures for companies such as Mirreco,  their sources of raw materials, in Ghana. And,  as it happens,  there are longterm funds in the pensions and  insurance industries that could be tapped too, for projects across the country.

Furthermore, as COVID-19 has shown, planned well-designed  and well-built green cities and towns, are needed to enable urban  slum dwellers - whose living conditions will always make them hotspots of dangerous viruses -  to move into areas that will have the infrastructure that will make them better suited to benefit from public health measures taken to contain viruses that have the potential to wreck national economies. That is an opportunity for Mirreco in Ghana.

And, if Raphael Afordoanyi's serendipitous game-changing clean power invention is finally brought to market, the affordable electricity will turbocharge the economies of nations worldwide, creating sustainable growth that is low-carbon in nature, ensuring lower costs for companies like Mirreco, too.

So do get Windlab to contact Eugene Kofi Boakye-Yiadom for an introduction to his partner Raphael, who is currently overseas. Wish you well - and do stay safe and drink lots of warm lemon (from sliced lemonds in mugs!) to protect and boost your immune systems to deal with COVID-19. Cool.

Warmest regards,

Kofi.

Mercola.com/Dr. Joseph Mercola: Immune-Boosting Vegetable Soup

Immune-Boosting Vegetable Soup

Recipe From PaleoHacks
  • Date Published: January 01, 2018
  • 99,076 Views
Immune-Boosting Vegetable Soup
Hippocrates, the father of medicine, once said, “Let food be thy medicine.” Indeed, consuming the right types of food can have a significant impact on your well-being and may even help you restore your health with a plethora of nutrients and synergistic components.
However, when talking about using food for healing, remember that we’re talking about real food — whole, non-GMO varieties that are ideally organic and locally grown — and not the processed junk you see on supermarket shelves. Hence, it’s always a smart idea to stock your pantry with fresh whole foods all year-round.
If you need a boost to help your immune system stay robust during these cold winter months, here’s a delicious soup recipe from PaleoHacks that you can whip up at home. The list of ingredients may be intimidating, but it’s definitely worth the trouble and effort, as the variety of vegetables, plus herbs and spices, will help ramp up your immunity and keep you protected from illnesses.
Immune-Boosting Vegetable Soup
Cook Time:20 to 25 minutes Serving Size: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 cups kale (destemmed and torn into pieces)
  • 1 cup celery (diced)
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes, peeled and deseeded
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup organic vegetable broth
  • 6 cups filtered water
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Procedure
Vegetable Soup Step1 1Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add coconut oil, celery, carrots, minced garlic and ginger to the pot. Sauté for five minutes (until the veggies are a bit tender).
Vegetable Soup Step2 2Next, add broccoli, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Sauté for another three to five minutes.
Vegetable Soup Step3 3Add water and vegetable broth, then cover and bring the pot to a boil.
Vegetable Soup Step2 4Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to a simmer. Then add lemon juice, cayenne, cinnamon, turmeric, cabbage and kale. Stir to combine. Let the ingredients simmer for 10 to 15 minutes (or until vegetables are soft).

Fresh Organic Vegetables Are Always a Top Choice for Optimal Health

Aside from providing different textures and flavors to this dish, all of the vegetables used in this dish have their own set of nutritional components that may help improve your immune function. For example:
  • Purple cabbage, also known as red cabbage, is loaded with L-glutamine, an amino acid that may help heal the soft tissue that lines your intestines. Like its green counterpart, it also boasts of nutrients like thiamin, calcium, magnesium, folate, manganese, riboflavin, iron and vitamin K, among others — all of which may have protective immune benefits.
    The George Mateljan Foundation, a not-for-profit which focuses on helping people eat and cook more healthfully, further highlights the immune-boosting potential of red cabbage:1
    "Like all unique and nourishing foods, there are differences in the nutrients they offer. For example, some red cabbages contain almost twice the vitamin C as some green cabbages. Red cabbages are always richer in anthocyanins (flavonoid phytonutrients) that not only act as antioxidants but also function as supporters of the immune system. Green cabbages, on the other hand, have substantially more folate."
  • Kale, a well-recognized "superfood" that recently has been skyrocketing in popularity, is loaded with antioxidants and healthy fiber. It’s also one of the top sources of vitamins A and K, the latter of which promotes skin and eye health, and may help keep your immune system strong.
  • Broccoli offers many health-promoting compounds. When you eat it, you're getting dozens, even hundreds, of super-nutrients that support bodywide health. One standout nutrient is sulforaphane, which is a naturally occurring organic sulfur compound that’s been found to have potent anti-cancer activity. Sulforaphane acts as an immune stimulant and an anti-inflammatory as well.2
Remember that when it comes to consuming produce, fresh and certified organic varieties, bought from farmers markets or local coops, should always be your top choice. This is because eating organic not only reduces your exposure to pesticides and insecticides, but is also linked to significant health benefits.
For example, an analysis conducted by the European Parliamentary Research Service concluded that eating organic foods also improves the nutritional value of the food, lessens disease risk and enhances early childhood development.3 A separate study found that eating foods that are organically grown may lead to a reduced risk of Type 2 diabetes and obesity.4

Herbs and Spices Complement the Vegetables in Terms of Taste and Nutrition

The problem with making soup is that if you don’t add the right ingredients, it may come out bland and unappetizing. Here’s where herbs and spices come in — they not only add a flavorful punch to any dish, but also help ramp up its nutritional profile. In this recipe’s case, its immune-boosting potential is “spiced up” by several different ingredients. Take a look at what these handy “flavor enhancers” can offer you:
  • Turmeric, a potent yellow spice popular in Indian cuisine, has over 150 therapeutic properties, including antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits. This is due to its active ingredient, curcumin.
  • Garlic has antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antiparasitic properties, all of which can help improve immune function. In fact, there are studies that show how garlic can impact over 160 different diseases.5
  • Ginger offers broad-spectrum antibacterial, antioxidant, antiviral and antiparasitic properties — just a few of its 40 pharmacological actions. It may help protect against respiratory viruses6 and help ease drug-resistant fungal and bacterial infections.7
  • Cinnamon’s health benefits are said to resonate throughout your body. An in-depth review published in 2014, found that, aside from exhibiting antimicrobial activity against infections like E.coli, it may have an effect against diabetes, inflammation, dementia and neurological disorders, to name a few.8,9
  • Cayenne pepper, aside from its impressive amounts of capsaicin, contains high levels of immunity-boosting vitamin C.

For a More Healthful Soup, You Can Use Bone Broth

This recipe makes use of vegetable broth, but if you’d like to further improve your soup’s nutritional profile, you can also use homemade broth made from bones of organically raised, pastured or grass fed animals. Bone broth contains chondroitin sulfates, glucosamine and other compounds, which can help reduce joint pain and inflammation, among other benefits. For more about the healing effects of bone broth, read my article “Do You Know How to Make Bone Broth and Why You Should?”

NoMoreFakeNews/Jon Rappoport: Epidemic: quarantining real science


Epidemic: quarantining real science
(To read about Jon's mega-collection, The Matrix Revealed, click here.)
This article is about fake science and the medical professionals who are hypnotized by it.

32 years ago, just after my first book, AIDS INC., was published, I was speaking with a doctor friend, a brilliant man.  He criticized my strategy of showing how NON-VIRUS factors had destroyed the immune systems of "people with AIDS."

As evidence, he cited a UCLA study which had looked into the possibility that vast overuse of antibiotics was shredding the immune systems of gay men.  "You see," he said, "the study found that many gay men who had been diagnosed with AIDS didn't abuse antibiotics.  Therefore, those drugs couldn't be the cause of AIDS."

I was shocked.  I was shocked that this doctor had fallen for absolute nonsense.

First of all, I had never said antibiotics were the cause of AIDS.  He was confused at the starting gate.

To boil it down, my argument, in the book, was: for various specific reasons, HIV had never been proved to be the cause of what was being called AIDS.  And---this was the key---"AIDS" was a label that had been placed, like an umbrella, over a whole host of diverse health conditions.  At the root, AIDS was really IMMUNE SYSTEM DESTRUCTION coming from a number of different causes, depending on which group of people you were talking about.

And, in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, ONE OF THOSE CAUSES, IN SOME GAY MEN, was vast overuse of antibiotics.

My doctor friend hadn't understood this.

WHY NOT?

Here is the punch line.  Through his training, he had been hypnotized into thinking that AIDS was one syndrome with one basic cause.  "It had to be."  99 percent-plus of all doctors in the world had also been hypnotized in exactly the same way.

One label, one basic condition, one germ.

AIDS couldn't actually be a whole variety of causes, all of which suppress the immune system.  No, no, no.  That would be heresy.

The hypnosis sets up an either-or situation.  "Show us the one cause of the one condition, or go away."  And that is called medical science.

Imagine the following: six men in New Jersey suffer from sudden bleeding.  So do eight women in New Guinea.  So do twelve children in Uganda.  A team of virus hunters from the CDC decides that all these occurrences must be linked by a common cause.  Which, of course, will turn out to be a virus.  But they're wrong.  Dead wrong.  It's not a virus.

In fact, there is no unifying "it."  The six men in New Jersey were working in a factory where leaking acid fumes were getting into their lungs and creating hemorrhages.  The eight women in New Guinea were farm workers overcome by highly dangerous pesticides, and they bled.  The children in Uganda had been drinking water directly connected to sewage outlets, and in the sewage there were industrial poisons, and they bled.

This was not one condition.  It did not have one cause.  But too late---the CDC moves in, declares it's all a virus, and the name of the condition is X-32f54d.  Journal articles are rushed into print.  Public health officials warn that X-32f54d could spread...

You get the idea.  The hypnosis works.  It has nothing to do with science.

In the current "epidemic," we have the same old story.  IT IS NOT ONE CONDITION.  IT DOES NOT HAVE ONE CAUSE.

What are some of the causes which can induce the general flu-like and pneumonia-like symptoms being labeled "coronavirus?"

Ordinary flu.  Pneumonia from different bacteria, fungi, toxic air.  TB.  Common colds.  Allergies.  In some places, perhaps the rollout of 5G technology.  Toxic vaccination campaigns.  Toxic medical drugs.  Highly toxic and destructive antiviral drugs, given to people who are called "COV cases."  Immobilization, long-term, in nursing homes for the elderly.  Pesticides causing lung problems.  Industrial poisons causing lung problems.  People who have slight or serious congestion and are afraid they might "have the virus" and show up at hospitals.  Corporate chemical dumping.  Expired and unrefrigerated medical drugs shipped to the Third World.  (The mere detection of elevated body temperature during airport screenings.  People who had contact with other people who have been called "coronavirus cases."  Overeager and work-harried doctors diagnosing "suspected cases.")

And so on and so forth.

NOT one condition with one cause.

NOT one condition.

NOT one cause.

Therefore, the "spread and containment of the one virus" is wrongheaded.

"But...but...suppose the patient tests positive for the coronavirus?  Isn't that some kind of proof?  Doesn't a positive test connect all these people with different conditions, under one banner?"

No.  I have covered this in other articles.  Even assuming that researchers actually discovered COV---the diagnostic test, at best, might indicate the patient has a tiny, tiny amount of COV in his body.  But, in order to cause illness, he would need to have millions and millions of virus actively replicating in his body.  The test has never been proved to be capable of detecting that.

And on top of all this, the overwhelming percentage of "COV cases" in the world have been diagnosed WITHOUT THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST for the virus.

Therefore, what we're left with are many people, with all sorts of different conditions, caused by many different factors---irrationally collected together under one label.

"But...but...what about all these people all over the world suddenly getting sick and dying?"

That's not a true picture.  In many, many cases, these are people who have been getting sick and dying in the same ways people been getting sick for a long, long time, down through history  For example, TB and pneumonia.  In other cases, the causes could/would be new.  For instance, new pollution, a recent vaccination campaign(s), the new rollout of 5G, the accelerated use of antiviral drugs.  The other new factors are the re-labeling of all these people with a novel term: "COV";

And the press coverage, and the pronouncements of governments.

And then the lockdowns.  And the economic warfare against the people.
