Even Greener Pastures

I had to search on internet to find something. I never heard about her. I am more preoccupied by the anti-Covid people who demonstrate in Berlin, I am afraid that this nonsense will spread all over like a pandemic.
In the serious newspapers that I read daily, there wasn’t anything about this crazy woman. I am not surprised that her medical license hasn’t been taken away. After all, she lives in a country where the president in charge is himself crazy and has erratic behavior and retweets her video.

I think there is a little bit of a time delay in news like this getting attention in Europe. From what I could get out of your Italian article, it probably captured most of her African voodoo insanity. She went to some unknown medical school in Nigeria and is originally from Cameroon. She’s  been in Louisiana and Texas for 20 years and is the pastor of „Fire Ministries“ in a strip mall in Texas next to her medical office. She is being sued for malpractice in Louisiana over the death of a woman she treated, but moved to Texas. She believes that „alien DNA“ is secretly being used to create a vaccine to make people not accept religion. She believes women who dream about sex are having sex with demon spirits at night and getting pregnant with half human and half „reptile“ beings. She says demonic wizards and witches are doing this.

Her beliefs are sort of a blend of African tribal voodoo and witchcraft and Christian ideas. When twitter and Facebook and others took down her phony corona cure- an anti-milaria drug, zinc and a common antibiotic -because it was false information which is a danger to the public, she said all their computers would crash if they didn’t put her witch doctor insanity back up (God would punish them.) She should have her medical license revoked, since she’s an obvious danger to the public.

I too was concerned about the corona-denialist movement in Berlin who think the whole thing is a hoax. There’s going to be a second wave of corona in the EU and things will be right back to where they were in March.

@SHL let things settle down. The weather here is awfully hot right now and as you know we don’t have AC in this part of the world. So you better plan your vacation for next winter. Have you ever been in Germany in December? All over Central Europe there are nice Christmas markets and there is a special atmosphere. I quite love it.

As for Hawaii, I never have been there, but my sister went hiking and camping, walking along the seashore of the islands and she liked it. She is the outdoor type and hiked in the most incredible places, all over the world. Personally, I only got interested in Hawaii when I read that Obama’s mother came from there.

I‘m not sure Obama‘s mother came from Hawaii (it’s possible, I just heard he was born there). And, it is true. Hawaii is really more for the outdoors type people who like to explore nature.

Yes, last night was the first time I heard that the Summer heat was finally hitting Europe. I even saw a few temperatures around Germany in the 33C range, which is how I remember Germany in the Summers from 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. But, this year seemed a lot cooler than I expected. It’s only now that things are hearing up. Yet, I returned to the States on August 2 of 2019, and it was hot then too. But, the entire month of July was pretty miserable, heat-wise. We’ve got the same temperatures in the Summer only with dry heat, not that that matters, since it’s all bad past a certain point. But, we’re more prepared for it, so every house and apartment built after about the late 1960s has A/C. San Francisco might be an exception because it never gets much over 25C over there. I couldn’t imagine living without it. It would be no different than having no heat on the Winter.

I had thought about vacationing in Germany in the Winter, just to experience the change in seasons, and would love to, but with this corona thing, it’s hard to say when that will ever be possible. I read about some Germans protesting in Berlin about wearing masks and claiming corona was all a hoax and fake. Conspiracy theorists. People thinking like that are likely to cause a rebound of the pandemic in Europe.

@SHL It seems to me that Hawaii isn't unlike a lot of those small central and eastern European countries. It's dirty, wild animals running amok, old, broken-down cars clogging the roads, high illiteracy rates, the list goes on. Up until about 2000 it was a nice place to visit.

A few years ago some clowns set off an alarm that indicated that the state was under attack by an incoming North Korean missile. It wasn't, of course. While in the awful central European countries all you have to worry about is actual warfare [ Let's not forget that the history of Europe is warfare. They're a very violent people who can't get along with their neighbors. ] and communism, socialism, and the failed 'free' medical system. All in all not a good place to be. You're better off vacationing in Hawaii until you can take refuge in Germany.

Well, Sid, I can’t compare Hawaii to central or Eastern Europe. That would be an insult to central or Eastern Europe. As far as vacationing in Hawaii, I found out I’d have to take a Covid test on arrival in Hawaii, then quarantine for 2 weeks. All to go live with a bunch of chickens. Not very appealing.

I guess those chickens don’t bother anyone, except for the Roosters, the males, who will come after you if you get too close to their females.

Wait, they will stand and fight you? I thought if you get too close to chicken  they will chicken out.

Pasha. No those big roosters, the breeding males, with those red things on their heads, will go after you and try to bite you or attack you with their claws. The female hens don’t do anything. The just run away with their babies. My mom said growing up they had to go out and collect the eggs every morning the hens laid, but the rooster would always come and try to attack them. So, they had to grab the eggs and run in the house. I think she said my grandfather got tired of that nasty rooster one day and they had him for dinner one night.
