At the top of Marrazzo’s to-do list is tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR), or drug-resistant superbugs, which are predicted to cause 10 million deaths per year by 2050 at an annual cost of $1 trillion to the global economy. In May, the UK’s former chief medical officer warned that the rise of these pathogens could make the pandemic look “minor” and that the issue is more acute than climate change.
Our warming world is partly responsible for increasing rates of AMR, with shifting climate conditions around the globe helping bacteria such as Salmonella and cholera-causing Vibrio to survive – and evade our current antibiotic weaponry completely. Here, Marrazzo outlines the things we should perhaps fear most, as well as some promising developments on the horizon.

Much of what is in this book was probably written by the KGB and the South African Communist Party. In it‘s day the KGB was the biggest spying organisation on Earth, with tens of thousands of agents in America alone. They even operated in South Africa. This advice in this ANC Manual was published in Black Magazines in South Africa to teach the Blacks how to operate Covertly against the Whites.

The ANC tried to disarm whites in 2004. They tried a massive exercise to steal all our guns and hand our guns in. Some fools did hand in their weapons.
