Nel 2014, durante le riprese di Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation a Londra, Tom Cruise rimase bloccato nel traffico ed era in ritardo per andare al lavoro. Così si rivolse alla sua co-protagonista, Rebecca Ferguson, e le disse: «Prendiamo la metro.» Lei pensò fosse impazzito, ma alla fine accettò.

Tom indossò un semplice berretto, le sue cuffie, ed entrò nella metropolitana di Londra come una persona qualunque. Niente grande squadra di sicurezza. Nessun trattamento speciale. Solo Tom Cruise che cercava di arrivare al lavoro.

Più tardi spiegò: «La gente non fa attenzione. Tutti guardano il telefono o una rivista. Il mondo intorno semplicemente scompare.»

Ma anche con quel travestimento semplice, qualcuno lo notò davvero.

Sul treno, una ragazza di 16 anni continuava a fissarlo. Tom era in piedi, tenuto alla barra — cercando di mimetizzarsi — ma lei sapeva esattamente chi fosse.

Non urlò e non disse nulla. Invece guardò lentamente tutto il vagone, controllando se qualcun altro l’avesse riconosciuto. Nessuno. C’erano solo loro due.

Poi lo guardò di nuovo, quasi chiedendogli con gli occhi: «Sei davvero tu?»

Tom la guardò dritto negli occhi e le fece un piccolo, tranquillo cenno con la testa, come per dire: «Sì. Ma manteniamo il segreto.»

La ragazza sorrise nervosamente e annuì a sua volta, come a dire: «Va bene… Ho capito.»

Un momento minuscolo e silenzioso condiviso tra un attore famosissimo e un’adolescente — proprio nel mezzo di una metropolitana affollata, dove nessun altro si era accorto di nulla.

🚨 SOUTH AFRICANS, WAKE UP 🇿🇦
“We Buy Cars” is straight-up robbing us blind ‼️

Took my 2021 Hilux to them last week. Trade-in value R420k, their “expert” offered R295k. "Cash in 30 mins they said", yeah, cash for their new yacht‼️I sold my bakkie privately for R410k within 4 days of advertising it privately.

They prey on desperate sellers with their fancy ads and “we’ll beat any offer” lies‼️

Don’t get scammed like the rest of us. Sell your vehicle privately‼️

If you've been scammed by WeBuyCars too, tell us your story, so we can warn others before they fall into the same trap‼️

[Daniel Gugger 888 @daniel_gugger]

888 Jede antike Zivilisation hat ihr Volk entwurmt.

Wir haben damit aufgehört. Hier ist, was mit uns passiert ist.

Letzten Monat las ich ein Buch über altägyptische Medizin, als ich auf etwas stieß, das absolut keinen Sinn ergab.

Die Ägypter, eine der fortschrittlichsten Zivilisationen der Menschheitsgeschichte, entwurmten ihre gesamte Bevölkerung routinemäßig.

Pharaonen, Soldaten, Sklaven – alle. Sie verwendeten Rizinusöl-Wickel, die um den Bauch gewickelt wurden.

Sie nannten es das „Öl der Götter“.

Doch als Forscher ägyptische Mumien untersuchten, fanden sie etwas Bemerkenswertes: saubere Darmtrakte.

Minimale parasitäre Vernarbungen.

Gesundes Organgewebe.

Selbst bei Menschen, die 70 oder 80 Jahre alt wurden.

Im Gegensatz dazu zeigen moderne Autopsien bei Amerikanern eine parasitäre Besiedlung in der Mehrheit der untersuchten Körper.

Därme, die mit Biofilm überzogen sind. Würmer, die sich in das Organgewebe gegraben haben.

Bei Menschen, die Zugang zu dem „fortschrittlichsten“ Gesundheitssystem der Welt hatten.

Dieses Paradoxon ließ mir keine Ruhe, also tat ich das, was jeder tut, wenn etwas nicht zusammenpasst…

Ich bin um 2 Uhr morgens in ein Recherche-Loch gefallen.

Ich fand Studien, die Überreste aus antiken Zivilisationen in Ägypten, Griechenland, Rom, Indien und China analysierten.

Jede einzelne hatte dokumentierte Entwurmungspraktiken. Jede einzelne.

Die Ägypter verwendeten Rizinusöl-Wickel, die über Nacht auf den Bauch aufgetragen wurden.

Griechische Ärzte schrieben darüber, den Bauch mit ölgetränkten Tüchern einzuwickeln, um „die Würmer, die sich nachts ernähren, auszutreiben“.

Ayurvedische Texte aus Indien beschrieben Rizinusöl-Bauchwickel als essenzielle „saisonale Reinigung“.

Die traditionelle chinesische Medizin empfahl nächtliche Bauchkompressionen mit Kräuterölen.

Verschiedene Kontinente. Verschiedene Jahrhunderte. Verschiedene Sprachen. Dieselbe Praxis.

Dann schaute ich mir das moderne Amerika an.

Keine Entwurmung. Keine Routinebehandlung. Kein öffentliches Gesundheitsprogramm. Nichts.

Die USA sind das einzige entwickelte Land der Welt, das seine Bevölkerung nicht entwurmt.

Und die Amerikaner sind die aufgeblähteste, müdeste, am stärksten unter „Brain Fog“ leidende und schlafgestörteste Bevölkerung der entwickelten Welt.

Ich grub weiter und fand eine Schätzung, die alles veränderte.

Über 85 % der Amerikaner tragen derzeit mindestens eine Art von Darmparasiten in sich.

Basierend auf epidemiologischen Daten, Autopsiestudien und globaler Gesundheitsforschung.
85 %.

Die alten Ägypter hatten einen sauberen Darm und lebten bis ins hohe Alter mit flachen Bäuchen und scharfem Verstand.

Moderne Amerikaner sind bis mittags aufgebläht, bis 15 Uhr erschöpft, um 3 Uhr morgens hellwach – und bekommen von ihren Ärzten zu hören, es sei „nur das Reizdarmsyndrom“.

Der Unterschied liegt nicht in der Genetik. Nicht in der Ernährung. Nicht in der Evolution.

Der Unterschied ist: Jede antike Zivilisation verstand, dass man das loswerden muss, was in einem lebt. Und wir sind die erste Generation in der Menschheitsgeschichte, die damit aufgehört hat.

Da machte es bei mir Klick.

Frühere Menschen lebten in ständigem Kontakt mit Parasiten – genau wie wir. Kontaminiertes Wasser. Unzureichend gegartes Fleisch. Erde. Tiere. Kontakt mit anderen Menschen.

Aber sie versuchten nicht, Parasiten zu vermeiden. Sie wussten, dass Kontakt unvermeidlich war.

Also entwurmten sie. Routinemäßig. So, wie wir uns die Zähne putzen.

Und speziell die fortschrittlichsten antiken Zivilisationen entdeckten alle unabhängig voneinander dieselbe Methode: Rizinusöl, auf den Bauch aufgetragen. Mit Kompression. Über Nacht.

Nicht geschluckt. Über die Haut aufgetragen. Mit Druck. Während sie schliefen.

Die Ägypter fanden das vor 4.000 Jahren heraus.

Wir haben es vergessen. Oder präziser gesagt: Wir haben beschlossen, dass wir zu modern sind, um das zu brauchen.

Und jetzt laufen 85 % von uns mit Parasitenbefall herum, während unsere Ärzte mit den Schultern zucken und Rezepte gegen die Symptome ausstellen.

Also fragte ich mich, ob die antike Methode bei einem modernen Darm funktionieren könnte, der seit Jahrzehnten nicht entwurmt wurde.

Ich suchte nach der Wissenschaft hinter dem, was jede antike Zivilisation bereits wusste, und da fing es an, Sinn zu ergeben.

Rizinusöl besteht zu 90 % aus Ricinolsäure – der einzigen natürlichen Verbindung, die nachweislich Biofilm auflöst.

Biofilm ist die schützende Festung, die Parasiten in Ihren Darmwänden aufbauen.

Deshalb kann Ihr Immunsystem sie nicht finden.

Deshalb übersehen Labortests sie. Deshalb passiert jede Pille, die Sie schlucken, den Darm, ohne sie zu berühren.

Aber hier ist das Problem bei modernen Parasitenbehandlungen...

85 % jedes oralen Medikaments werden von der Magensäure zerstört, bevor sie Ihren Darm erreichen.

Was überlebt, wird auf 6 Meter Darm verteilt.

Es tötet einige Parasiten ab, die im Darmlumen freiliegen, aber die, die sich hinter Biofilm-Wänden vergraben haben ? Unberührt.

Und die Eier. Tausende davon. Eingebettet im Gewebe hinter demselben Biofilm-Schild. Orale Medikamente töten einige ausgewachsene Parasiten. Eier überleben.

Schlüpfen in zwei bis drei Wochen.

Eine brandneue Generation. Das ist der Zusammenbruch, von dem jeder in den Parasitengruppen spricht.

Die antiken Zivilisationen verstanden etwas, das die moderne Medizin immer noch nicht begriffen hat:

Man kann nichts schlucken und erwarten, dass es das erreicht, was sich in den Wänden versteckt.

Man muss es über die Haut verabreichen. Direkt. Mit Kompression. Über Nacht.

Deshalb verwendete jede antike Entwurmungskultur Bauchwickel. Keine Getränke. Keine Pillen. WICKEL.

Das Öl zieht durch die Haut ein. Umgeht den Magen komplett.

Volle Konzentration direkt in das Darmgewebe, in dem Parasiten vergraben sind.

Die Kompression aktiviert den Lymphabfluss – das Abwassersystem Ihres Körpers.

Tote Parasiten, Biofilm-Reste, Eier, Giftstoffe – physisch herausgespült. Nicht im Körper gelassen, um dort zu verrotten und auszuschlüpfen.

Und die Anwendung über Nacht liefert es genau in dem Zeitfenster, in dem Parasiten am aktivsten sind – von Mitternacht bis 4 Uhr morgens.

Wenn sie fressen. Wenn sie sich vermehren. Wenn sie die Giftstoffe freisetzen, die Sie um 3 Uhr morgens aufwecken.

Die Ägypter kannten das Wort „Ricinolsäure“ nicht.

Sie kannten das Wort „Biofilm“ nicht. Sie wussten nichts über nächtliche parasitäre Aktivitätszyklen.

Aber sie hatten 4.000 Jahre Ergebnisse, die die moderne Wissenschaft erst jetzt erklärt.

Die Ägypter verwendeten speziell vorbereitete Leinenwickel, die geölt und über Jahre hinweg verwendet wurden. Ich hatte diese nicht. Niemand hat sie mehr.

[Maverick @MaxPatricius]

A single mom in South Africa sold her house, bought 34 tonnes of salt, and built a global export brand from a garden shed.
Have you seen Oryx Desert Salt on the shelves?
Deep in the remote Kalahari Desert, far from oceans and pollution, lies an ancient underground brine lake. Filtered through 280-million-year-old rock, naturally replenished, sun-dried under the African sun.
Pure.
Mineral-rich.
Unprocessed.
Nothing added.
Nothing taken away.
Samantha Skyring discovered it after a life-changing 120km walk through the Namib, where she came face-to-face with the majestic Oryx.
As a single mother with a toddler, she bet everything. Sold her home.
Packed grinders on her dining table.
Moved into a tiny wooden Wendy house.
No investors.
No safety net.
Just conviction.
Oryx Desert Salt is exported to over 23 countries, including Whole Foods in the USA, airlines like JetBlue, and premium tables worldwide.
A true South African success story, clean, sustainable, and fiercely independent.
The biggest opportunities often hide in the places big capital overlooks.
One woman saw ancient purity where others saw desert dust.
Samantha doesn't just sell salt.
She bottled the Kalahari’s resilience, and turned it into a brand the world now craves.
Conviction > comfort.
Every single time.
By the way, get yourself some and taste it.
You will NEVER want any other salt again.
It's addictive.
The grinders are made of ceramic too, ZERO plastic.

🇿🇦FARMERS WARN: “WE CAN’T AFFORD TO PLANT” – SOUTH AFRICA IS SLEEPING THROUGH A FOOD CRISIS IN THE MAKING ‼️
7 May 2026 - By Paul Hattingh
South Africa is moving toward a food crisis that many people still refuse to take seriously.
Not because there will suddenly be no food tomorrow morning.
Not because every farm is collapsing overnight.
But because the economic foundation that keeps food flowing through this country is being crushed from every direction at once.
And once a planting season is lost, you do not simply “recover” it next month.
You wait an entire year.
The warning signs are already everywhere.
🔴THE DIESEL SHOCK IS HISTORIC, AND FARMERS KNOW IT
Over the past two months, diesel prices in South Africa exploded by roughly R13.17 per litre, one of the most violent short-term fuel increases ever seen in the country.
This is not a small inconvenience.
Diesel is the bloodstream of commercial agriculture.
Every tractor.
Every planter.
Every harvester.
Every irrigation system.
Every truck transporting food across South Africa.
Grain farmers already operate on thin margins. Diesel alone can make up 10% to 18% of production costs depending on the crop and region. Now those costs are detonating in real time.
And while ordinary South Africans complain at the fuel pump, farmers are calculating whether planting even makes financial sense anymore.
🔴THE MIDDLE EAST WAR IS NOW INSIDE SOUTH AFRICA’S FOOD CHAIN
Most South Africans still think wars in the Middle East are “far away.”
They are not.
The Strait of Hormuz crisis is now directly embedded inside South Africa’s food system.
South Africa imports roughly 75% to 80% of its fertiliser, especially nitrogen-based products like urea and ammonia. Much of it comes from Russia and the Middle East. Large volumes move through Hormuz.
When the US-Israel-Iran conflict escalated and shipping routes became unstable, fertiliser prices surged globally.
The impact on South African farming was immediate.
According to Grain SA’s April 2026 monitoring data:
Urea prices surged over 58% month-on-month.
LAN fertiliser jumped over 52%.
Global fertiliser markets entered panic territory.
Diesel and fertiliser together now consume up to half of some grain farmers’ input costs.
This is not theoretical economics anymore.
This is what happens when geopolitics collides with agriculture.
🔴MANY FARMERS ARE NO LONGER ASKING “HOW MUCH PROFIT?” THEY ARE ASKING “WHY PLANT AT ALL?”
The public still does not understand how brutal the maths has become.
Landbouweekblad already warned earlier this year that wheat production costs could increase by roughly R1 800 per hectare, even before the latest diesel explosion.
For dryland wheat farmers averaging 3 to 4 tons per hectare, that means yields would need to rise dramatically simply to break even.
Not to prosper.
Not to grow.
Just to survive.
And farming does not pause like a corporate office.
A missed planting window is a lost season.
That reality is now driving serious fear through grain-producing regions.
🔴THE OFFICIAL DATA CONFIRMS THE DECLINE
This is no longer “social media panic.”
The National Crop Estimates Committee confirmed that winter wheat plantings for 2026/27 are expected to fall to 486 400 hectares, down 6% year-on-year and the lowest level in roughly 11 to 12 years.
That is real.
That is measurable.
That is official.
And while some farmers are diversifying into crops like canola, barley and oats, the broader signal is unmistakable:
Commercial grain farming is under severe pressure.
🔴FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE HAS MADE THE ENTIRE AGRICULTURAL ENVIRONMENT EVEN MORE FRAGILE
As if fuel and fertiliser were not enough, South Africa’s agricultural sector is simultaneously battling one of the worst foot-and-mouth disease outbreaks in modern history.
The outbreak spread across all nine provinces and triggered a national disaster declaration earlier this year.
While FMD primarily affects livestock, not grain directly, the economic impact spreads across the entire agricultural ecosystem:
Higher veterinary and compliance costs
Export disruptions
Financial stress on mixed farming operations
Reduced liquidity across rural economies
South African agriculture is being squeezed from every angle at once.
🔴THE GOVERNMENT DID TRY TO SLOW THE DAMAGE, BUT IT IS NOWHERE NEAR ENOUGH
To be fair, the government did introduce temporary fuel levy relief.
Treasury reduced parts of the fuel levy structure in April and May 2026 to soften the diesel shock.
But this was damage control, not a solution.
You cannot offset a geopolitical energy shock of this magnitude with temporary tax adjustments while global shipping lanes are destabilising.
And farmers know it.
🔴THE MOST DANGEROUS PART IS THAT SOUTH AFRICA ALREADY HAS A HUNGER PROBLEM
This is where the conversation becomes serious.
Not sensational.
Not emotional.
Serious.
South Africa is not facing imminent nationwide famine.
Anyone claiming millions will suddenly starve tomorrow is exaggerating.
But South Africa already has a massive household food insecurity crisis.
Millions of people already skip meals.
Millions already depend on grants.
Millions already live one price increase away from hunger.
Now add:
Higher diesel costs
Higher transport costs
Higher bread prices
Higher meat prices
Higher fertiliser costs
Lower wheat plantings
Global instability
And suddenly the pressure on poor households becomes enormous.
This is how food insecurity spreads.
Not overnight collapse.
Slow suffocation.
🔴SOUTH AFRICA FEEDS FAR MORE THAN ITSELF
This is another reality many urban South Africans ignore completely.
South Africa is not just feeding South Africa.
South African maize production supplies roughly half the maize consumed across the SADC region.
A serious long-term decline in South African agricultural output would ripple far beyond our borders.
Mozambique.
Zimbabwe.
Zambia.
Botswana.
Namibia.
Lesotho.
Malawi.
The region depends heavily on South African commercial agriculture remaining functional.
And despite years of political attacks, regulatory hostility and endless economic pressure, it is still commercial farmers carrying much of that burden.
🔴THE REAL WARNING IS NOT “FAMINE.” IT IS SYSTEMIC EROSION.
That is the part people keep missing.
The danger is not one dramatic Hollywood-style collapse tomorrow morning.
The danger is cumulative erosion:
fewer hectares planted,
fewer profitable farms,
rising debt pressure,
shrinking margins,
declining confidence,
rising food inflation,
increasing dependence on imports,
worsening pressure on poor households.
That is how nations weaken.
Slowly.
Then suddenly.
🔴SOUTH AFRICA IS NOW PAYING THE PRICE FOR GLOBAL DEPENDENCY
This crisis has exposed something deeper and more uncomfortable.
South Africa is critically exposed to global supply chains it does not control:
imported fertiliser,
imported energy exposure,
unstable shipping routes,
weak logistics,
deteriorating rail systems,
vulnerable ports,
fragile agricultural margins.
The country has spent years pretending these vulnerabilities did not matter.
Now reality has arrived.
🔴THE FARMERS ARE NOT PANICKING. THEY ARE WARNING YOU.
That distinction matters.
Most commercial farmers are not emotional activists.
They are practical people.
They understand risk.
They adapt constantly.
Many will survive this season through diversification, scaling adjustments, tighter management and accumulated experience.
But when farmers begin publicly warning that planting itself is becoming financially irrational, the country should listen carefully.
Because food systems do not collapse in a single day.
They weaken season by season until the margin for error disappears.
And South Africa is moving dangerously close to that line.
This article is based on publicly available reporting, official agricultural data, Grain SA monitoring reports, National Crop Estimates Committee updates, Treasury fuel announcements, and publicly circulated farmer interviews and commentary as of 7 May 2026.
🔴FINAL WARNING: FOOD DOES NOT COME FROM SPEECHES
South Africans must understand this now: food security is not protected by political slogans, empty promises or government press briefings.
It is protected by farmers who still plant.
And when those farmers begin to say the numbers no longer work, the country is already in danger.
This is the warning.
Ignore the farmer, and you will meet the empty shelf.
Mock the producer, and you will pay at the till.
Attack commercial agriculture long enough, and one day the nation will discover that bread does not come from ideology. It comes from soil, diesel, fertiliser, labour, risk and debt.
South Africa is not yet starving.
But South Africa is being warned.
And if this government, this public and this region continue treating farmers as political enemies instead of the people standing between order and hunger, then the coming crisis will not be an accident.
It will be the predictable result of a country that heard the alarm, laughed at it, and kept walking toward the edge.

[Francois van Wyk @DrAFvanWyk]

@grok @9viewpoint @ThoNg676733 When was this

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

What in the world did we just see!

The 2 hour marathon barrier has been broken. Three guys went under the old world record...

Sabastian Sawe just ran 1:59:30 with crazy negative splits, closing the last half in 59:01....faster than the American Record in the half.

One of the most mind blowing performances we've seen. How did we get here?

Every breakthrough is a mixture of belief and progress.

It takes folks daring to see what's possible, surrounding themselves with a quality team and doing the work to give themselves a shot.

You've got to bet on yourself in a big way.

When asked whether he believed he could run a sub-2-hour marathon before the race, Sawe answered with one word:

"Yes."

Let's get the obvious out of the way. Performance enhancing drugs are the legitimate question mark to every breakthrough.

So Sawe did as much as he could about taking that off the table.

He and his team asked to be tested all the time. His sponsor put up 50K to the Athlete Integrity Unit. The tests are run independently, no advance notice. Over a 2 month stretch, he went through 25 drug tests.

There's always a doubt. There has to be given what we know. Hopefully there's transparency in the results. But hats off to Sawe for addressing it:

"I want to prove that I am clean when I set foot at the start line."

But how'd we actually get here where two guys went sub 2 in the same race?

1. Shoe tech

We've had a revolution in shoe technology that boosts running economy.

For years shoe companies said their shoe would make you faster and was mostly marketing. Until 2016, when it actually did.

Initial research showed a 3-4% saving in economy, while subsequent work has shown it's highly variable.

Now, it's a matching game. Find the perfect shoe for your form and you can get a big boost.

Normally, it takes years of lots of miles and strength training to boost economy.

But now we get that instant boost that not only helps boost performance but often leaves us feeling less beat up in the later stages of the marathon.

So we get a little bit less hitting of the wall...

2. The fuel

For a long time, fueling was limited by biology. You can only take in and process so much.

Then in the 2000s, researchers found if we mixed sugars, we can boost intake because they're processed differently.

Then recently, Maurten found if you use a hydrxogel, you boost utilization without GI distress anymore.

We've gone from pushing 60g/hr to 120g/hr in a few decades.

Again...less bonking.

3. Depth

A few decades ago, you spent your career racing on the track and then once your speed started to fade a bit you went to the marathon.

Now, many skip right to the marathon. That's where the money is.

And with the economy boost from the shoes, you can make that jump quickly.

More depth of talent means more competitors in their prime pushing barriers.

4. Belief

Even with the shoes and tech, a few years ago sub 2 hours seemed a long way off, until Kipchoge pushed that barrier in a series of time trials.

Yes, they weren't official races and had contrived pacing. But it absolutely shifted everyone's thinking on what is possible.

A generation of runners saw Kipchoge go for it.

Our prediction of what is possible changed.

It's mind blowing how far we've come in such a short time.

What once seemed decades away, just got smashed twice in the same race.

Hats off to Sawe, especially for addressing the scourge of doping and showing folks what is possible with a lot of hard work, some crazy belief, and some fortuitous advances.

[Handre @Handre]

The South African government's 2% inflation figure is pure statistical manipulation. You can't double the cost of groceries, fuel, and rent while claiming price stability with a straight face.

They exclude food and energy from "core" inflation calculations, exactly what families spend 60% of their income on(😂). Meanwhile, the government is running billions in deficits, then acts surprised when your purchasing power evaporates.

Every central bank plays this game. They redefine inflation, manipulate baskets, and substitute quality for quantity. Your lived experience of doubled prices tells the real story their cooked numbers try to hide.

Literally everything you can buy in this country has doubled in price since 2022, yet the official cumulative inflation number is 6.5%. Who believes this bullshit??

[Francois van Wyk @DrAFvanWyk]

@chrischameleon This is true for many an industry.

[Francois van Wyk @DrAFvanWyk]

@RussellShaw_MLS @the_no_mind What would the ultimate Vit D supplement look like?

[Francois van Wyk @DrAFvanWyk]

@the_no_mind It seems Stephany Seneff made a mistake in logic in terms of the type of supplementation. And also in terms of the complete picture. Vit D3 it seems does not increase arterial calcification and in supplementation one should ensure all the co factors are taken.

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran.

This is a picture of Tehran. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops at the thought of bombing it. It's not some low population desert. There are families, children, family pets. Regular working class people with dreams. You're sick to want war.

Tehran is a city of nearly 10,000,000 people. Imagine nuking Washington, Berlin, Paris, London, or beyond, bombed with nuclear weapons.

I gave up my diplomatic career to leak this information. I suspended my duties so as not to be part of or a witness to this crime against humanity, in an attempt to prevent a nuclear winter before it is too late.

Yesterday, nearly ten million people protested “No Kings” in the United States. The possibility of the use of nuclear weapons must be taken very seriously. It's dangerous. Act now. Spread this message worldwide. Take the streets. Protest for our humanity and future. Only the people can stop it. History will remember us.
