Putin might be a chance. Of all the elderly world leaders , no evidence of health or injury problems.
The evidence fell out of an elevated window.

Barnaby Joyce must be the pick of the bunch, but could we trade him for a future third rounder?
Maybe in relation to the Epstein problems, Trump might wish for some people to have window problems.
Can we add Mark Latham (sub)?

According to the Swiss FL media, the Swiss Federal authorities have ordered the dissolution of the Gaza Humanitarian Fund.
Reportedly , this was on the grounds that there was no Swiss representative at the Geneva based address and that steps had not been taken to comply with the legal requirement for Swiss representation.
This Order presumably affects the channel for donations to the GHF…

That’s awesome. I was there in 1999 and 2002 and malaria was pretty common. They had us on daily doses of doxycyclin (sp?) as a suppressant, which used to make you sensitive to sunlight and give you weird dreams. When I came home they gave us something else to eradicate malaria in case you had it but the doxy had kept it suppressed. I ended up feeling like I had it with fevers, joint aches and exhaustion. It only lasted a few days and has never come back, so I assume it was the drugs and not actual malaria. Heaps of guys I was there with had the same experience. We still joke about tripping balls with doxy dreams.

I know from the medical advice for work travel and postings that the drug can cause side effects and should only be taken for limited periods at a time. There is some sort of Sulphur in the drugs which rules out its use for those with zero or low tolerance ( I’m in the low tolerance group).

It’s always the right-wing governments that want to disenfranchise people.

This is not normal. You shouldn’t be able to see the signs of starvation from a satellite. The world is letting this happen.
And this from the ground:

It’s horrifying. I’d say history won’t be kind but something tells me this will be a blip among worse events across the next 30 years.

Female contraceptives purchased by USAID will be destroyed in France, following the abolition of USAID. The contraceptives, stored in Belgium, can only be destroyed in France under a medical waste contract.
The contraceptives have up to a 5 year expiry date. Under a law brought in during the Reagan Administration, there is a prohibition on supplying NGOs with contraceptives.

GHF food deliveries suspended during the Witkoff/Huckabee visit. They met with GHF, IDF and selected Gazans. Other Gazans were kept separated by razor wire. No contact was sought with UN staff during the visit. Witkoff is reported as saying that there was a food supply shortage, but no hunger.
