It has been three years since the small village of Purapul in northern Kenya saw any significant rainfall and residents have been forced to turn to eating bitter wild berries in order to survive, though some say it is just a matter of time until they succumb to starvation. Their plight is part of a severe drought affecting people across the Horn of Africa, where an estimated 18 million people are on the verge of famine.

As a general rule, those actually starving don't emigrate. They have no means to do so.

Michelle Obama, please remind your husband aka The Kenyan, that his countrymen are suffering right now, and he needs to step up for the cause. Tell him to put that Selfie-Phone gadget down for a minute.

In solidarity with starving Kenyans the 0bamas are surviving on berries.

Bit fat refrigerated chocolate-covered strawberries and raspberries.
With champagne served in cups made from gourds.

Obungu has two beachfront mansions. Hawaii under construction and Marthas Vineyard. I don’t see Michele (aka big Mike or Manshell) hanging out at either but I can see his gay friends there.

Is Obungu oblivious to the gay monkey pox?

No it doesn’t but one news story said it’s 60 km away from Lake Turkana. If you look at the satellite view the whole place is a desert.

From pictures of the area it looks like the surface of the moon. What are these people doing out there?

It’s bad this is happening, but the place is a desert.

These people seem to be Masai. As the woman said, they don’t know how to farm and, instead, have lived off of their animals. It’s 2022, and these people are living like stone age hunter gatherers. When you do not adapt by adopting a more advanced way of life, this is what happens. Changes of any kind can be life threatening. Of course, I’m sure their “Green” score would be the envy of the woketards living in Hollywood and the Upper Westside of Manhattan. Prince Harry and Megan ought to relocate there so they can reduce their carbon footprint.

The Globalists and Their Great Reset are bringing on the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the 7-year Tribulation.

In the middle of that, then shall be Great Tribulation and the Mark of the Beast.

Revelation 20:4
King James Version

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Meanwhile, in the Netherlands:

Emotion And Pain As Dutch Farmers Fight Back Against Huge Cuts To Livestock


(Article from The Guardian, photo from Al Jazeera.)

There is starvation in Africa, unfortunately, it's par for the course. What do the SOBs of the WEF do? They ORDER a 50% REDUCTION in FOOD PRODUCTION in the Netherlands. They have ALSO ordered reductions in almost, if not ALL European countries!

(Mark Rutte, Prime Minister of the Netherlands is possibly MORE of a 'true believer' in 'der Führer und Reichskanzler' K(louse) Schwab's plans for world domination, than PRC's (Politically Repressive Canada) Prime Mistake Trudeau!

These ashholes at the WEF claim to care SO MUCH about humanity, yet they insist on drsstic REDUCTIONS in fertilizer usage to 'save the erf', even though starvation threatens MANY in the world! What do they care if millions die in Africa from starvation? Even closer to home, what do they care of millions starve to death in Europe and North America?

Jesus can't come soon enough! Maranatha!

If the MSM was real it would do some investigative reporting on the World Economic Forum and crash their party

I am sitting under our porch roof wishing the rain would stop. I feel ashamed. I wish now I could send this rain to Kenya.🇺🇸
