In Africa’s first ‘safe city’ surveillance reigns but crime levels are rising as CCTV cameras don’t work
Nairobi launched its massive traffic surveillance system in 2014 as the country was grappling with a terrorism crisis. A series of major attacks by al-Shabab militants, including the September 2013 attack at Nairobi’s Westgate shopping complex in which 67 people were killed, left the city reeling and politicians under extreme pressure to implement solutions. A modern, digitized surveillance system became a national security priority. And the Chinese tech hardware giant Huawei was there to provide it.

Gaza war: Displaced children in Gaza have access to less than two litres of water per day

The Chabad movement disavows any teaching that Schneerson is the messiah. Still, his memory is honoured throughout the movement and beyond and his grave in Queens receives about 400,000 visitors per year, according to Chabad.
Arsenal’s wobble in English Premier League title chase blamed on lack of depth in squad
It’s perhaps no surprise, then, that Arsenal are considering strengthening at the back in January, with a focus on the left. The club admire Jorrel Hato of Ajax as well as Miguel Gutierrez of Girona, although neither player would represent an ideal January signing.
Money or life: How White House, doctors, researchers and media censored facts about Covid
Publicly, however, Fauci dismissed the lab leak theory as an unfounded conspiracy theory. Within weeks, several other virologists who echoed Andersen’s concerns also mysteriously ended up putting their names to papers refuting the lab leak theory.
Denial and Deception: Why have mainstream media and journalists ignored Wuhan lab Covid leak theory despite compelling evidence?
The lesson to be learned is that we cannot afford to allow this kind of research to continue, and that’s a public realisation the scientific community is desperate to avoid. The reality, however, is that extremely risky research is being conducted and the scientific community is playing fast and loose when it comes to safety.
Wuhan Cover-Up: Anti-vaccine activist and presidential candidate RFK Jr lays bare rot in US health industry
There are the funders; the scientists who will do anything for another grant; the massive network controlled by a syndicate: the moneymen and women from the National Institutes of Health’s many institutes, especially its best-funded National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases; the National Science Foundation, whose former director was on the board of EcoHealth Alliance; the Wellcome Trust, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation; and other charities deeply entangled with the ones I just mentioned.
