“How African women suffer silently through abuse
Silja Fröhlich
08/26/2022August 26, 2022
Almost one in two African women has experienced violence at some point during her life. But perpetrators silence their victims by saying the woman is to blame — or that she provoked the abuse. How can this change?”
“Prevalence of gender-based violence in the Caribbean
The pervasiveness of violence against women in the Caribbean has been highlighted in a recent report by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and the Latin America and the Caribbean Region of the World Bank.[4] According to this report, violence against women affects a significant percentage of women and girls in the Caribbean. Three of the top ten recorded rape rates in the world occur in the Caribbean. While the worldwide average for rape was 15 per 100,000, The Bahamas had an average of 133, St. Vincent and the Grenadines 112, Jamaica 51, Dominica 34, Barbados 25 and Trinidad and Tobago 18. The report further pointed to a survey which revealed that in nine Caribbean countries 48 percent of adolescent girls’ sexual initiation was ‘forced’ or ‘somewhat forced’.

The number of undernourished people in sub-Saharan Africa rose from 181 million in 2010 to almost 222 million in 2016. Among children, although the prevalence of stunting decreased from 38.3% in 2000 to 30.3% in 2017, the numbers affected increased from 50.6 million to 58.7 million due to population growth.
The bbc really have excelled themselves today. Top headline – breaking news – “Bournemouth victim was fabulous young man”. I thought I’d have a look to see what’s come to light. The news is that the Bournemouth victim was a fabulous young man. That’s it. That’s the whole story. Well hold the front page, man on the moon, this is the most important news today. It’s a good job there’s no wars going on or senile old blokes falling over or they would have nothing to report. They will use any and every tactic to divert the proles’ attention from anything that might cause them to start thinking.
In the LuviesLuvFest at Hay the BBCs Lyse DouceWotsErName whines on and on and on and on about “why news matters in a world of fake news and media manipulation”:
Question Time
BBC One, Thursday 17 September 2020
In exchanges about the Test and Trace system a panellist said that 240,000 tests were being done a day. We suggested this referred to the capacity for daily testing that exists, not the actual number of people who were being tested, which we said was 81,000. In fact 81,000 was the average daily number of people newly tested in England and did not include those newly tested in other parts of the UK.
Countryfile opens “See farming without chemicals is magically good”
it isn’t !
There is a kind of optical illusion with organics
when people get into it they become more observant
and it is that that improves some things
not the lack of chemicals
After a few years they usually get back to using chemicals
eg after a big disease outbreak etc.
Man conquers nature, rather than simply living with it.
Some government leaders are trying to bring a new green revolution to U.S. agriculture. Before they do, they should look at Sri Lanka.
The Wall Street Journal back in July indicated that Sri Lanka’s Green New Deal was a human disaster. The July 14 article references Norman Borlaug. As pointed out by the journal, Borlaug set Sri Lanka on a path to agricultural riches. Some 50 years later, the Sri Lankan government decided to stop the use of all chemical fertilizers, and I do mean all pesticides.
As I reported to you in this blog last April, the government decided to impose organic farming on the entire country. According to the Journal, “…widespread hunger [occurred] after the agriculture economy collapsed – Sri Lanka’s people have wrought the first contra-organic national uprising in history.”
The organic group in Sri Lanka supports agriculture, but the people are rioting because they have little or no food due to government policy. We need our agriculture people who make policy to go to Sri Lanka. It might bring some realism to our farm policy in the United States.
I’ve seen plenty of posts on here about the Ukraine war not going in the same direction the media is telling everyone, but here is an opportunity.
The media is lying to the people, and there is going to be a window of opportunity for people like us to point out to the sheeple on as many media platforms as possible that they have been blatantly deceived and that this is not the only thing they have been deceived about.
The media will undoubtedly quickly move to suppress all the news that they suggested Ukraine was going to win so the window will be brief. Everyone here has a duty when it happens to get on every MSM platform and point out what they have been doing, and once those seeds are sown it will be difficult for the media to disown what they have been saying and the deceit they have pulled on the British people.
It might only put the seeds of doubt in a few minds, but that is all it needs, because it’s like a nuclear reaction 1 become three becomes nine becomes 27 becomes 81 becomes 243 becomes too many for the media to silence very quickly.
Basically it comes down to thick as (organic) Sh’t bbc employees with not an o level to share amongst them, but a degree in some crap that requires no basic level of education and googling their homework, yet pontificating on epidemiology and other disciplines that require rigorous academic study.
“Winston had disliked her from the very first moment of seeing her. He knew the reason. It was because of the atmosphere of hockey−fields and cold baths and community hikes and general clean−mindedness which she managed to carry about with her. He disliked nearly all women, and especially the young and pretty ones. It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy.”

She was convicted of insulting Islam by allowing her class of six-year-olds to name a teddy bear “Muhammad”.[2]
The Sudanese teddy bear blasphemy case concerns the 2007 arrest, trial, conviction, imprisonment, and subsequent release of British schoolteacher Gillian Gibbons, who taught children of middle-class Muslim and Christian families at Unity High School in Khartoum, Sudan.[1] She was convicted of insulting Islam by allowing her class of six-year-olds to name a teddy bear “Muhammad”.[2]
Look pork is available all over Indonesia
tribal people and ethnic-Chinese eat all the time
Muslims tend to stay away from restaurants where it’s served.
If a Muslim wanted they could go to a different town and eat pork, cos most could pass foe tribal.
Lima essentially did provocative video where she recited the equivalent of the Lord’s Prayer whilst she ate pork.
That provokes big mouth clerics, the police then use some kind of electronic hate speech laws as a kind of blasphemy laws.

They can’t help themselves – the original article is… from wait for it – 4th December 2021 – last modification today.
While the changes reflect keywording – that tweaking matters.
It indicates the reach of automated editorial guidelines and the overt framing of narratives – tweaked to profile visibility largely for/in search engines.
Tomo you are wrong : the last effective edit was on 2th April 2021
a line was removed
“Christina, who was admitted to hospital with Covid-19 in her third trimester, said: “It was terrifying.””
All subsequent times detected a change it was merely a one word change in other -story links that get embedded into the sory
They are not the main story text
My point for what it’s worth is that the BBC are fiddling with the visibility of the story – i.e. where is shows up in searches – like the present pervasive trend in hijacking browser home pages and filling them with “relevant” kerrapp esp. on mobile devices where the herds get their info.
Those home pages are automatically / dynamically generated – there’s a whole menagerie of shady tech outfits in the USA – many funded by the Democrats either overtly or behind some fig leaf that are working to frame the Overton window in big style – and they’ve outposts and associates over here – least of which is likely the embarrassingly visible TNI.
Ok ok – it was tasteless – not good – but someone has been charged with wearing an offensive shirt at the FA cup final …Smith and Jones Sketch where art though – said defendant has also been charged with walking on the cracks in the pavement …
I think – technically – if you put a picture of the shirt up on the net you commit an offence under telegraphy act … ( I am not inviting or citing you to do this – please note that Brigade 77 – other monitors )

Why am I not hearing claims from the BBC that the UK’s Climate has changed? It is the longest spell that I can recall of nor’easterly or easterly winds. They are now forecast as extending over the middle of the month. Usually, the prevailing winds for the UK are from the south-west, west or nor’west.
A whole ‘economic strategy ‘ based on limited accurate records of the climate … if the world ever comes to its senses ( maybe long long after we are all gone ) they’ll look at this mania and go ‘WTF ‘? I was gonna write’ WTF were they thinking ?’ But realised the second bit was the problem …. It’s religious faith based on dodgy stats .

If that a case of letfies stretching language ?
To me the word “extinct” means the anmal no longer exists on the planet
eg wolves and wild bear are not extinct, it’s just they not longer exist in the UK
Likewise that butterfly no longer existed in the UK, but it did exist abroad . Now it is existing ..either it came in from abroad or had been in an area not detected.
taffman, there are so many species of animals and insects in the world that it is impossible to really know if something has become extinct. For example, there are said to be about 5,000 different jumping spiders in the world. How can you possibly count them all?
If you read the article, although badly written (to be expected from the BBC these days), it becomes apparent that somewhere (unspecified) outside the UK, the Black Veined White Butterfly is still extant.
I’m thinking the correct terminology would be ‘locally extinct’ in the UK? (and without the quotation marks).
The writer also tells us that ‘they’ (grammatically incorrect, but not sure if I am allowed to use ‘he’ there, even if they have a ‘male’ name?) were told that ‘someone probably released them’. That might suggest a number of different scenarios (to me anyway), but the reporter doesn’t bother to go into any greater depth, so we will probably never know.
I once knew a guy whose hobby was lepidoptery, an interesting individual and highly intelligent, he used to buy the eggs of various species online, hatch them, rear them, and then release them into the wild as adults once they’d pupated. This is exactly the sort of thing he would have done, it wasn’t him though, tragically he died of cancer some years back (he was only in his mid 40s).
Up2, they so often get the terminology mixed up in these articles, and what they refer to as a ‘species’ is often nothing of the kind.
It sounds more dramatic to say the ‘Northern White Rhino’ SPECIES has gone extinct, than the Northern White Rhino SUBSPECIES has gone extinct (and there are still 20,000 odd, White Rhinos of the Southern subspecies in the wild). As usual, it’s all about ‘impact’ and ‘effect’… rather than ‘truth’.
As regards numbers of species in families, for anything other than mammals and birds, they always quote estimates that vary massively, and are, as you rightly point out, impossible to verify with any accuracy.
And if you think that’s bad, you should see what they do to anything even vaguely ‘hard science’!
It all comes down to recruiting according to tick box, rather than knowledge, experience, and ability, I’d say.
Wapples an expert in designing car parks had said
“Parking garages across the US could be at risk of collapse over the weight of heavier electric vehicles,”
Be interesting to know if the perp has previous and if any context in that area surfaces – a stranger killing?
Some years ago there was a woman in Bristol randomly killed hanging out washing by a nutter barely 48 hours after his release from MH detention. The context there was damped down by the media inc. BBC – NO MICROPHONES UP NOSES ETC.
There’s another on the BBC frontpage right now, but blink and you’ll miss it. Bet it’ll be gone by morning, banished to the unplumbed depths of the ‘local news’. I have noticed (working odd hours) that they like to put any ‘contentious’ items out in the early hours, when most are tucked in bed.

She said the “barbaric” way her daughter died meant her heart “broke with grief and despair”.
THIS is the real news. Not the huge headline that some Indian got shown a picture of his mothers body after a rail crash thousands of miles away.

and it is that that improves some things
not the lack of chemicals
After a few years they usually get back to using chemicals
eg after a big disease outbreak etc.
Man conquers nature, rather than simply living with it.

Some government leaders are trying to bring a new green revolution to U.S. agriculture. Before they do, they should look at Sri Lanka.
The Wall Street Journal back in July indicated that Sri Lanka’s Green New Deal was a human disaster. The July 14 article references Norman Borlaug. As pointed out by the journal, Borlaug set Sri Lanka on a path to agricultural riches. Some 50 years later, the Sri Lankan government decided to stop the use of all chemical fertilizers, and I do mean all pesticides.
As I reported to you in this blog last April, the government decided to impose organic farming on the entire country. According to the Journal, “…widespread hunger [occurred] after the agriculture economy collapsed – Sri Lanka’s people have wrought the first contra-organic national uprising in history.”
https://www.farmprogress.com/commentary/sri-lanka-s-green-new-deal-was-a-disaster
The organic group in Sri Lanka supports agriculture, but the people are rioting because they have little or no food due to government policy. We need our agriculture people who make policy to go to Sri Lanka. It might bring some realism to our farm policy in the United States.

I’ve seen plenty of posts on here about the Ukraine war not going in the same direction the media is telling everyone, but here is an opportunity.
The media is lying to the people, and there is going to be a window of opportunity for people like us to point out to the sheeple on as many media platforms as possible that they have been blatantly deceived and that this is not the only thing they have been deceived about.
The media will undoubtedly quickly move to suppress all the news that they suggested Ukraine was going to win so the window will be brief. Everyone here has a duty when it happens to get on every MSM platform and point out what they have been doing, and once those seeds are sown it will be difficult for the media to disown what they have been saying and the deceit they have pulled on the British people.
It might only put the seeds of doubt in a few minds, but that is all it needs, because it’s like a nuclear reaction 1 become three becomes nine becomes 27 becomes 81 becomes 243 becomes too many for the media to silence very quickly.

“Winston had disliked her from the very first moment of seeing her. He knew the reason. It was because of the atmosphere of hockey−fields and cold baths and community hikes and general clean−mindedness which she managed to carry about with her. He disliked nearly all women, and especially the young and pretty ones. It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy.”

She was convicted of insulting Islam by allowing her class of six-year-olds to name a teddy bear “Muhammad”.[2]
The Sudanese teddy bear blasphemy case concerns the 2007 arrest, trial, conviction, imprisonment, and subsequent release of British schoolteacher Gillian Gibbons, who taught children of middle-class Muslim and Christian families at Unity High School in Khartoum, Sudan.[1] She was convicted of insulting Islam by allowing her class of six-year-olds to name a teddy bear “Muhammad”.[2]

Look pork is available all over Indonesia
tribal people and ethnic-Chinese eat all the time
Muslims tend to stay away from restaurants where it’s served.
If a Muslim wanted they could go to a different town and eat pork, cos most could pass foe tribal.
Lima essentially did provocative video where she recited the equivalent of the Lord’s Prayer whilst she ate pork.
That provokes big mouth clerics, the police then use some kind of electronic hate speech laws as a kind of blasphemy laws.
What happens to Lina probably depends on local politics
I can imagine bigger issues coming up and the case getting dropped.

My point for what it’s worth is that the BBC are fiddling with the visibility of the story – i.e. where is shows up in searches – like the present pervasive trend in hijacking browser home pages and filling them with “relevant” kerrapp esp. on mobile devices where the herds get their info.
Those home pages are automatically / dynamically generated – there’s a whole menagerie of shady tech outfits in the USA – many funded by the Democrats either overtly or behind some fig leaf that are working to frame the Overton window in big style – and they’ve outposts and associates over here – least of which is likely the embarrassingly visible TNI.

Why am I not hearing claims from the BBC that the UK’s Climate has changed? It is the longest spell that I can recall of nor’easterly or easterly winds. They are now forecast as extending over the middle of the month. Usually, the prevailing winds for the UK are from the south-west, west or nor’west.

If that a case of letfies stretching language ?
To me the word “extinct” means the anmal no longer exists on the planet
eg wolves and wild bear are not extinct, it’s just they not longer exist in the UK
Likewise that butterfly no longer existed in the UK, but it did exist abroad . Now it is existing ..either it came in from abroad or had been in an area not detected.

taffman, there are so many species of animals and insects in the world that it is impossible to really know if something has become extinct. For example, there are said to be about 5,000 different jumping spiders in the world. How can you possibly count them all?

If you read the article, although badly written (to be expected from the BBC these days), it becomes apparent that somewhere (unspecified) outside the UK, the Black Veined White Butterfly is still extant.
I’m thinking the correct terminology would be ‘locally extinct’ in the UK? (and without the quotation marks).
The writer also tells us that ‘they’ (grammatically incorrect, but not sure if I am allowed to use ‘he’ there, even if they have a ‘male’ name?) were told that ‘someone probably released them’. That might suggest a number of different scenarios (to me anyway), but the reporter doesn’t bother to go into any greater depth, so we will probably never know.
I once knew a guy whose hobby was lepidoptery, an interesting individual and highly intelligent, he used to buy the eggs of various species online, hatch them, rear them, and then release them into the wild as adults once they’d pupated. This is exactly the sort of thing he would have done, it wasn’t him though, tragically he died of cancer some years back (he was only in his mid 40s).

Up2, they so often get the terminology mixed up in these articles, and what they refer to as a ‘species’ is often nothing of the kind.
It sounds more dramatic to say the ‘Northern White Rhino’ SPECIES has gone extinct, than the Northern White Rhino SUBSPECIES has gone extinct (and there are still 20,000 odd, White Rhinos of the Southern subspecies in the wild). As usual, it’s all about ‘impact’ and ‘effect’… rather than ‘truth’.
As regards numbers of species in families, for anything other than mammals and birds, they always quote estimates that vary massively, and are, as you rightly point out, impossible to verify with any accuracy.
And if you think that’s bad, you should see what they do to anything even vaguely ‘hard science’!
It all comes down to recruiting according to tick box, rather than knowledge, experience, and ability, I’d say.

Police in Hong Kong have detained several pro-democracy activists on the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre.
Authorities have banned public commemoration of the 1989 incident, which saw China crush peaceful protests in Beijing with tanks and troops.
However, candlelight vigils have been taking place in other cities worldwide.
Among those detained was 67-year-old Alexandra Wong, a prominent campaigner nicknamed “Grandma Wong”.
Amid a tense evening in Hong Kong, she was arrested while carrying flowers near Victoria Park, where vigils had been held for decades.
