Dr. Christina Parks - What the Media Won't Tell You

Dr. Christina Parks, PhD in cell and molecular biology, was a guest on Dr. Boyce Watkins's show recently. Check out what she said, above. 

The mainstream media tend to just give us the same narrative.  How can we make decisions about covid-19 and whether or not to have the vaccine when we don't have the full facts?  There is a huge amount of factual information which we don't necessarily get to see or hear.  

On the same subject, check out this short film of Dr. Michael McDowell, a pastor from Trinidad, telling us his take on the probable true cost of the vaccine (in human terms, not financial terms) and what we can expect for the future.  

Go here for resources to help you survive and thrive during the covid-19 panidemic.  

What do you think the pandemic and/or the vaccine has in store for us?  Please comment below and please share.  Thanks.  

 

Lockdown Learning: African History Quizzes

Ramses II

I am woefully ignorant about African history, as evidenced by the fact that I struggled to answer any of the questions in these quizzes. For those of us who know little about African history, these quizzes leave us with no excuse.

African Trivia and Quizzes

Sample Quiz: Mutiny on the Bounties.  How did various African countries gain their independence from the European colonial powers?

Sample Question:

When the scramble for Africa took place in the late 19th century, one nation found itself split into five territories, controlled by France, Italy, Britain and one of its eastern African neighbours. On gaining independence, the British and Italian territories were re-combined and the new country adopted a five-pointed star on its flag to represent the five territories that it wished to bring back together. Which country failed in its attempts at reconciliation and slid into anarchy in the late 1990s?

• Somalia
• Mozambique
• Kenya
• Mauritania

This is an absolutely brilliant site. The answers to each question are very lengthy and detailed. This is a great way to learn African history.
