RFK Jr: Why did "gluten allergies" go up so much in 2006?

"we discovered that Roundup was a desiccant. And what that means, if you spray it on a crop, it will actually dry out the crop. And one of the big enemies of the farmer is that if there's rain around the time of harvest, their crops can get wet, and they get moldy, and then it ruins the entire silo."

"What Monsanto did is they began telling farmers, spray this on the crop, on your wheat, right before harvest or at the time of harvest. And it was so popular that about 85 % of the Roundup that has been used in history has been used since 2006. A large part of that is as a desiccant. And what that meant, is for the first time they're spraying it on food right at harvest."

"Not early in the season when they have a chance to wash off, but actually just before you're going to eat it. And they're spraying it for the first time on wheat because there was no such thing as Roundup Ready Wheat. They started spraying it on wheat as a desiccant. And so 2006 marks the day when suddenly these gluten allergies began exploding. The celiac disease and all these kind of wheat problems that we started seeing in this country."

If you measure it back and say, when did it start? You can look and draw a red line at this 2006 and it's the year that they began spraying it on.

No wonder many governments in Africa have no economic development strategy. It's eaten too early for breakfast. So in the day, there's nothing left.

Got That KRA Message about Principal Tax you need to settle before 30th June ? Don’t Panic –
Chances are — yes, you actually do owe something. It could be just 1 shilling or even a significant amount arising from;
1. Actual tax liability ( forgot to pay, or didn’t realize that a positive figure in your tax return means you owe tax) which you need to settle and enjoy the amnesty
2. Error while filing your return (Maybe you forgot to account for tax relief (e.g., insurance, personal relief, or didn’t declare your pension correctly) which you need to Amend
3. Ledger reconciliation issue ( Your employer may have deducted PAYE but failed to remit it to KR) which you need to follow up with your employer to confirm remittance or reconciliation.

My advise is simple ;
Just do a quick Tax Compliance Check.
If you're compliant, relax. If not—settle the principal tax and enjoy the amnesty.

Here’s how to confirm your status:
1. Try applying for a Tax Compliance Certificate (TCC)
-Login to iTax
-Go to Certificates > Apply for Tax Compliance
If you have pending liabilities, the system will tell you.

2. Try raising an eSlip
-Login to iTax
-Go to Payments > Payment Registration
-Select tax obligation & assessment type
If you’re clean, the system won’t generate an eSlip.
3. Visit your nearest KRA station
– They’ll assist you, but be patient—it's peak season!

Now that President Ruto assented to the Finance Bill '23, focus shifts to commencement dates. Easiest way to navigate this is to start with provisions which have Sep 1st, '23 & Jan 1st, '24 effective dates.

Whatever isn't effective on either is effective July 1st, '23

This week's TBills performance clearly demonstrates how the government is struggling with its planned borrowing. Interest rates on the 364 day TBill have crossed the 11% mark. The 182 and 364 days TBills were massively undersubscribed.
