The efforts of the pagan greenies to eliminate the use of coal to make electricity, prohibit the use of modern machinery and technology for agriculture, and bring the whole world’s numbers and comfort levels back to the stone age to protect Gaia, is most successfully demonstrated in Africa.

Sounds like we are today living in the age of old movie plots combined together!
THE SATAN BUG
THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN
THE HELLSTORM CHRONICLES.

But then, Americans were given a great gift, a blessing, and the Rocky Mountain locust went extinct:

I thought China was sending 100,000 ducks.

It was supposed to be causing the eggs of some shells to weaken. I also believe there were some carcinogens in there. I am sure of the first sentence...not 100% positive of the second.

It is still in use in places where people want to stay alive from malaria.

This us not our problem . The PC crowd and Obama corruption screwed the pooch.

However, detaching a few C130 aircraft to spray would be a pretty great bang for the buck relief operation

Smart hedging of bets too. With malaria and starvation already an issue, we don't need a breeding ground for a super Covid19 mutation, especially since we are putting hopes on quinine drugs.

Having the virus knocking around a place where there are tons of weakened people taking quinine could enable a quinine resistant strain

“How much have you donated so far?”

Ahhhhhh, poignant question...how about answering this question. How many lives are you willing to let starve slowly to death, men, women, and children before you would give?

What do you get when you feed 10 million starving Africans?

A: Fifty million starving Africans.

I highly recommend the book Monrovia Mon Amour by Theodore Dalyrimple. It’s quite entertaining.

Instead of another invasion during the next drought cycle, the locust completely disappeared over the course of a few years, without any apparent cause.

But WHY?

Onset of global warming or Mormon movement west?

Slowly starve or have their unborn ripped limb from limb?

Ah...

...the great philosophical questions of the day.
