The death rate of 3.3 percent, San Diego County’s COVID-19 death rate is 55 percent of the U.S. national average. Tijuana, the Baja California city across the false border, comparatively has 1,136 verified cases—77 percent fewer cases than San Diego—but 226 deaths!

The U.S. government’s $2 trillion COVID-19 economic stimulus package was the biggest corporate cash-grab in modern history.

“It was hard to shut down but we want to let everyone know we are still building the baddest non-profit on the planet! We will be coming back strong, but we need your support.”

“It’s not a medical problem,” Chairman Omali Yeshitela declared of the COVID-19 epidemic ravaging our African communities around the world. “It’s a political problem. We call it the ‘colonialvirus!’”
