The gist of it:
These 2019-2020 swarms originated in the vast deserts of Oman, Somalia and Yemen, parts of which are lawless and war-torn. parts of which are lawless and war-torn. That made it difficult and dangerous to monitor them for the emergence of billions of hoppers, following tumultuous downpours two years ago or to spray them with insecticides when they were most vulnerable, before they grew wings and could fly hours on end, thousands of miles...
it seems nothing will be allowed to get in the way of the UN, EU and environmentalist obsession with climate change as the single greatest threat facing humanity and planet.
When it comes to insect control, the driving force is aid money totally skewed to agro-ecology and its ideological focus on food sovereignty and traditional subsistence farming, with wood plows and oxen, in harmony with nature, free from Western seeds, fertilizers, tractors and, above all, pesticides.

Horrifying. I can’t imagine it. It is like a Hitchcock movie with a sad ending. There is so much suffering in the world. It doesn’t end. And sadly, much of it is avoidable in this modern day and age.

This is the same Africa that so many leftists Americans like to claim as their homeland. It never has been anything more than a s...hole and never will be.

That’s fine too. We will offer to sell them expertise and the use of our gear. We truly can’t afford to prop up any foreign government right now.

If you choose to live like a bunch of Stone Age barbarians, you can expect conditions like what humanity experienced in the Stone Age.
Duh.

When I was 3 or 4 my older brothers would fry grasshoppers in my mom’s cast iron frying pan for the chickens (behind the barn). They fed them to me, and I would beg for them. Quite tasty I guess.
