RE: IQ ? They need DDT. The West is refusing it to them.

Here’s a solution for someone with an entrepreneural mind... teach a few smart Africans how to make and manufacture DDT.

Here’s a site teaching you how to make your own:

Even the “endangered” species are an environmental disaster caused by environmentalists. Starving people poach.

Actually if you read the article ( the author is African), it isn’t their collective IQ’s that is the problem.

The relatively well off environmental activists in rich countries use exaggerated, imaginary or phony environmental concerns and fake disasters to justify laws, regulations and excuses not to let poor countries use fossil fuels or nuclear power or develop their economies.

They tell Africans that they should only use renewable energy. They say nuclear power is dangerous, and oil, gas and coal are dirty and cause dangerous climate change.

And if Africans listen to them, we are back to it being an IQ Problem. Why on God's green earth would anyone give a rat's @$$ what Greenie kooks think about anything?

Somehow I don't think the problem with Africa is that they are being held back by a lack of hydrocarbon fuels. England created a world wide Empire before oil became significant.

You talk about this chemical (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) as if we have a corner on it or something. Why can't the African's make as much of it as they want? They could tell "the West" to go F*** themselves.

Why do they fall for the nonsense that the left and the environazis peddle? And why have they been incapable to make any significant advances?

It is IQ. The IQ distribution to be exact.

It is an utterly tragic situation. There are solutions, but most of them so politically unpalatable to be essentially impossible.

Yes, and it's a shame. Because it wouldn't suit the political (ie, power gaining and hoarding) of elites both within and without Africa, hard truths can't be admitted, so real solutions can't be implemented.

Until the countries of Africa can cease being nothing but brutal kleptocracies, the answer is 'no', it will never get any better. Africa has to look to itself. Noone can help them until they decide to help themselves.

I do not support a single dollar of aid for the entire continent.

Ah,so WE are responsible for the disaster called Africa.

I guess the corrupt leaders in Africa are powerless,

The author is an idiot.

The reason most of Africa is still poor two to four generations after colonialism ended is that they transitioned to domineering socialism instead of capitalism.

I thought they were, but I wasn't sure. Yes, Africa can get DDT if they want it.

DDT

Watch the documentary

3 Billion and Counting

There was no recommendation to ban DDT. It was the decision of the director. One man’s decision has killed billions.

The history book I used when teaching jr high had a little side bar on Rachel Carson as the ‘mother of the environmental movement’. Then I’d tell them about how her book Silent Spring (not intentionally, of course) led to the death of millions (or possibly billions) of human beings. After that I told them about the professor who ate a pound of DDT to show it was safe. They’d ask “Did he die? Yes he did— thirty years later while he was climbing a mountain in his 80s”.

The Doctor that made the Documentary drinks a beaker full of DDT at the end of the Documentary. He shows his blood chemistry before and after he drinks it.

He also shows studies that indicate DDT may have beneficial use for cancer.
