Susan Wills exposes the
risks associated with a new contraceptive drug being rolled out by the Gates Foundation in cahoots with Pfizer and the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF). As is so often the case; the innocent and the vulnerable are the most at risk, and this is to say nothing of the moral dimension to this agenda, or of the apparent disdain for the basic liberties and personal values of Africans

One of my aims in compiling this news section is to attempt to provide our readers with a glimpse of the "wider perspective" (that is my intention at least). In this regard I am compelled to share the
following video which, be warned, is disturbing. Many children around the world (but especially those in developing nations) suffer untold trauma and abuse — both emotional and physical. I also post this in defense of the need for our continued support towards the developing nations. Some argue that they must "fend for themselves" and that the needs in the West are just as great. Having spent most of my life working in the developing world, I can confidently say that their needs are desperate in just about every area. As you watch this, I ask those who are willing to offer regular prayers for the continent of Africa and her people and, for those who can, to contribute towards a reputable charity supporting suffering Africans. They are our brothers and sisters and they need our help. For those who may be offended by this video I say to you: Do not shut your eyes to what happens in our world, for as painful as it is to see such things, it is only once we understand the sufferings of others that we will be compelled to act.

There are some ‘Americanisms’ in this video which I am unable to fully appreciate due to my incomplete knowledge of US culture but … the overall message of this parody is an important one, especially for our teens!
