Ogni volta che usiamo lo smartphone, usiamo un congegno prodotto con sostanze estratte dalle viscere della Terra: tungsteno, stagno, tantalio e oro. Questi minerali sono essenziali per i circuiti stampati, gli schermi e le batterie. Senza di loro, la comunicazione moderna cessa di esistere.
Non solo. Titanio, tantalio e tungsteno sono elementi fondamentali per i moderni sistemi d’arma, quelli ad alte prestazioni; e capacità di combattimento uniche e letali. Ma la loro estrazione ha un costo che va ben oltre il prezzo all’ingrosso, pur in continua crescita. Lo sfruttamento minerario sta distruggendo gli ecosistemi che per secoli hanno tenuto lontani gli agenti patogeni, spesso letali, dalle popolazioni umane.
Nella zona orientale della Repubblica Democratica del Congo, l’estrazione del coltan —la colombite-tantalite— ha spinto i lavoratori a inoltrarsi nelle foreste che ospitano colonie di pipistrelli, sospetti serbatoi naturali del virus Ebola. L’epidemia di Ebola del 2018-2020 si è sviluppata in regioni dove i campi minerari confinano con la frontiera forestale.
Nel Borneo malese, lo sgombero dei terreni per l’estrazione mineraria e la coltivazione della palma è stato direttamente collegato a una ondata di malaria. L’estrazione illegale dell’oro nel territorio brasiliano degli Yanomami ha creato migliaia di pozze stagnanti contaminate da mercurio, perfetti siti di riproduzione delle zanzare. Tra il 2021 e il 2023, i casi di malaria tra gli indigeni sono più che raddoppiati, mentre la Dengue si è diffusa in zone prima sicure.
Negli ultimi trent’anni, tanto i media quanto la politica hanno guardato esclusivamente al cielo. Attraverso i mercati del carbonio, l’umanità si è illusa di poter contenere il riscaldamento globale scambiandosi i crediti di emissione in atmosfera. I dati osservati dimostrano come la mitigazione finanziaria del clima sia in gran parte fallita. Terre emerse e oceani soffrono in silenzio.
Sebbene ridurre i gas serra sia indispensabile, la focalizzazione sulle emissioni ha condotto l’umanità in un vicolo cieco. Abbiamo trascurato le minacce tangibili e immediate poste dall’uso sconsiderato del territorio, dal degrado del suolo e dalla gestione irresponsabile dell’acqua. I crediti finanziari di carbonio non possono ripiantare una foresta rasa al suolo da un giorno all’altro. Non possono ripristinare la barriera ecologica tra una colonia di pipistrelli portatrice di nuovi virus e una comunità mineraria che vive ai margini della foresta. I crediti del carbonio atmosferico non condizionano il bulldozer che spianerà il prossimo ettaro di giungla.
La prossima epidemia di Ebola non sarà causata solo dall’aumento delle temperature, ma sarà innescata da una ruspa che abbatte gli alberi per scavare una miniera, indispensabile a rifornire le fabbriche. E soddisfare una domanda che tutti noi alimentiamo. Riconoscere il legame tra consumi ed epidemie è il primo passo verso politiche che proteggano gli ecosistemi e la salute umana attraverso una reale cura della terra e dell’acqua. Pensare di farlo contabilizzando i crediti su un registro da partita doppia è del tutto illusorio.
Possiamo vivere senza smartphone, laptop e veicoli elettrici? Molto difficile. Siamo di fronte a uno scomodo paradosso. Le stesse tecnologie che utilizziamo per organizzare le proteste sul clima, condividere i dati sulla salute pubblica e coordinare i soccorsi in caso di calamità sono il prodotto finale di processi che distruggono gli ecosistemi e innescano le epidemie.
Possiamo vivere senza armarci fino ai denti? Molto più facile ma, apparentemente, impossibile. Abbandonare la tecnologia è del tutto utopico, ma possiamo esigere responsabilità. Pratiche minerarie sostenibili, rigorosi requisiti di riforestazione, trasparenza della catena di approvvigionamento e investimenti reali nella gestione del territorio devono tramutarsi in standard non negoziabili, non capitoli opzionali sepolti nei rapporti sulla responsabilità aziendale.
Nel terzo millennio la storia della Terra ha inaugurato una epoca di emergenza continuata. Terrore, pandemia, guerra, recessione chiudono la porta alla mitigazione climatica e ogni finestra di cura ambientale. Ciò che serve è un ritorno alla normalità. Solo con la normalità della pace possiamo gestire l’ambiente in modo consapevole. Rispettare le normative sull’uso del territorio che preservano le riserve ecologiche. Sfruttare le miniere in maniera trasparente. Disciplinare il bene comune dell’acqua pulita come una infrastruttura di prevenzione delle malattie piuttosto che come una merce o un’arma letale.

Interview with Jean-Marc Sabatier by François Cotard on emerging viruses
During a lengthy interview broadcast on alternative media platforms, Jean-Marc Sabatier shared his views on several current public health topics, including hantaviruses, the Ebola virus, and Alpha-Gal syndrome.
The interview first focused on hantaviruses, a family of viruses that can cause pulmonary syndromes or hemorrhagic fevers. Jean-Marc Sabatier noted that these viruses are generally transmitted through contact with the feces, urine, or saliva of infected rodents and are not easily spread from person to person.
According to Sabatier, Moderna’s development of an mRNA vaccine targeting certain hantavirus strains as early as 2024 raises questions, particularly because these viruses are considered to have limited pandemic potential. He also described several biological mechanisms associated with these infectious agents and discussed laboratory research involving pseudoviruses.
The speakers emphasized that, based on the information available to them, the number of reported cases in Europe remains limited and that the situation does not currently warrant major concern.
The second part of the interview addressed the Ebola virus, particularly the Bundibugyo strain, which is currently being monitored in Central Africa.
Jean-Marc Sabatier reviewed the biological characteristics of the virus, its high fatality rate under certain circumstances, and its modes of transmission, primarily through contact with bodily fluids. He stressed that Ebola outbreaks have historically been contained through targeted public health measures.
The two participants also discussed funding for vaccine research directed at this specific strain. They expressed skepticism about the possibility of large-scale vaccination campaigns being implemented if the virus were to spread beyond Africa.
In addition, several potential treatments were mentioned, including certain monoclonal antibodies and older medications such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, although their effectiveness remains a subject of debate within the scientific community.
The third topic concerned Alpha-Gal syndrome, a red meat allergy that can develop following bites from certain tick species, particularly the Lone Star tick, which is found primarily in North America.
Jean-Marc Sabatier explained that the condition results from an immune reaction to a sugar molecule known as galactose-α-1,3-galactose, which is present in most mammals but absent in humans.
During the discussion, the participants referred to various claims circulating on social media regarding Bill Gates’s alleged involvement in programs related to ticks or synthetic meat. They suggested that connections between these topics might exist, although no direct evidence was presented during the interview.
Ongoing Criticism of Public Health Institutions
Throughout the conversation, the participants expressed skepticism toward certain public health institutions, including the World Health Organization (WHO), regulatory agencies, and major pharmaceutical companies.
Jean-Marc Sabatier specifically criticized the development of mRNA vaccines and argued that dissenting voices face difficulties being heard within scientific and media circles. He stated that he himself has experienced a form of marginalization because of his views.
In conclusion, despite the concerns raised during the interview, Jean-Marc Sabatier encouraged listeners not to panic in response to new public health alerts. According to him, it is important to maintain a critical mindset, consult multiple sources of information, and closely monitor evolving epidemiological situations without resorting to alarmism.

UPDATE ON JUNE, 10, 2026
At least one person has been killed after Kenyan police opened fire as hundreds of demonstrators protested a quarantine centre for US citizens exposed to Ebola, which the United States government is racing to build in the central town of Nanyuki.
On Tuesday, the NGO Vocal Africa posted on X that one person had died after being shot in the head by Kenyan police who earlier used water cannon, tear gas to disperse the crowds.
The proposed 50-bed unit at an air force base in Nanyuki has angered many Kenyans, who accuse the US of offloading the health risk of caring for those exposed to the Ebola outbreak in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Uganda.
Last week, hundreds took to the streets in Nanyuki amid growing frustration among residents as Kenyan and US authorities publicly reaffirmed their commitment to the plan despite court orders. At the time, the demonstration also turned violent, with at least two people killed and one wounded.
UPDATE ON JUNE, 1, 2026
Hundreds of Nanyuki town residents took to the streets to oppose the construction of an infectious disease isolation facility in Laikipia County.
Protesters say resources earmarked for the facility should be directed to regional development, fearing it could still expose communities to Ebola.
The army even sent a tank to quell the protest by intimidating the crowd.
The Ebola virus of the international epidemic emergency in Africa, where in Congo and Uganda it has already killed dozens of people, is at the center of many suspicions for two reasons:

The Doctors Without Borders (MSF aka Médecins Sans Frontières) doctor who was exposed to patients who tested positive for Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo arrived overnight at the Lazzaro Spallanzani National Institute for Infectious Diseases in Rome. The woman is well and asymptomatic. She will remain under observation at the Roman hospital until June 8th, MSF sources confirmed.
As part of her clinical practice, the surgeon came into contact with patients who later tested positive on May 16th. This is therefore a case of direct contact. The doctor also performed emergency lifesaving surgery on May 18th on a child who was the victim of a grenade explosion. The child is a suspected case of Ebola, and a test for Ebola is not yet available.
«Three Red Cross volunteers have died in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) as the Ebola outbreak continues to spread rapidly and cases (suspected and confirmed) surpass 1000» according to BMJ (British Medical Journal).
The volunteers-Ajiko Chandiru Viviane, Sezabo Katanabo, and Alikana Udumusi Augustin-were all helping the Red Cross manage the dead bodies of Ebola victims. Their deaths occurred over 12 days, on 5, 15, and 16 May, respectively.
The World Health Organization’s director general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, expressed his “deepest condolences” over the fatalities. “They paid the ultimate price on the line of duty,” he wrote.
Meanwhile British researchers announced they are producing an experimental jab for the Ebola strain behind the outbreak, which currently has no approved vaccines or therapeutics (read details below).
According to the latest updates (24 and 25 May), there are currently 101 confirmed Ebola cases in the DRC and 930 suspected cases.
There have so far been 223 deaths among people with suspected cases and 10 confirmed deaths. In Uganda, seven cases and one death have been confirmed. The outbreak-currently the third largest Ebola outbreak on record (based on confirmed and

Is there a reason Americans are so worried about the new Ebola epidemic in Africa?
Is it perhaps because the US Pentagon itself has been secretly researching this virus, conducting the usual experiments to enhance it as a bioweapon in top-secret laboratories in Ukraine?
In this article, we try to provide answers and confirmation to these questions…
The United States has suspended entry to non-US citizens who have been in Ebola-affected areas in the past 21 days: Uganda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and South Sudan.
The measure, issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), will be in effect for the next 30 days and is justified by the need to “protect the health of the United States from the serious risk posed by the introduction of Ebola virus disease into the United States by these foreign nationals.”
At the moment it is one of the few countries to have taken this drastic health measure.
Just hours earlier, the United States announced that it had strengthened precautionary measures to prevent the spread of Ebola hemorrhagic fever, implementing health screenings for air travelers from affected areas and temporarily suspending visa services.
WHO will convene an emergency committee due to the rapid spread of the Ebola Bundibugio strain.
“At the moment, 30 cases of the disease have been confirmed in the northern province of Ituri. Uganda has also reported two confirmed cases in the capital Kampala, including one death among two people who arrived from the Democratic Republic of the Congo,” said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, head of the organization, during a briefing.
A new outbreak of Ebola virus disease in central Africa, caused by the rare Bundibugyo version of the virus, has caused more than 300 suspected cases and killed 100 people, health officials have said.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the situation a public health emergency of international concern.
The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) has so far identified 336 suspected and 10 confirmed cases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). There have been 87 deaths in the DRC to date. Uganda has had two confirmed cases and one additional death.
In response WHO has sent five tonnes of medical supplies to the DRC, and $500 000 (£374 000; €430 000) has been released from the agency’s contingency fund for emergencies.
This Ebola outbreak is causing particular concern because it has been caused by the Bundibugyo strain, which has been detected in only two previous outbreaks, in 2007 and 2012. There are no approved treatments or vaccines for Bundibugyo Ebola.
Excerpt from BMJ
POSTED ON MAY, 18, 2026
We republish below an excellent, albeit brief, investigative article by renowned American epidemiologist Nicolas Hulsher on the extraordinary coincidence of vaccine research funding granted to Big Pharma Moderna of Cambridge, Massachusetts, just months before the Ebola emergency in the DRC.
We’ll add just two preliminary notes. Moderna has been accused of developing the mRNA COVID vaccine many months before the first outbreak in Wuhan, thanks to direct funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Pentagon’s DARPA military agency.
The US Army’s own health research centers conducted worrying and dangerous experiments on the Ebola virus in Pentagon-funded Ukrainian laboratories, which are now at the center of an investigation by US Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard.
These tests to enhance pathogens to transform them into bioweapons have been denounced to the UN in Geneva by Russia.
Other experiments have been conducted in Africa, especially in Congo, thanks in part to contributions from Bill Gates.
It is therefore true, as Hulsher expertly states, that the Ebola virus has little chance of becoming a pandemic, but it is equally true that this refers to the wild viral strain and not those with laboratory-enhanced genotypes (such as SARS-CoV-2, according to a CIA whistleblower) as recombinant synthetic pathogens, i.e., those obtained by inserting multiple pathogens, such as HIV-AIDS, into the Covid-19 virus.

Just a few months ago (January 2026), Bill Gates’ vaccine cartel CEPI gave Moderna and University of Oxford $26.7 million to begin developing Bundibugyo ebolavirus (BDBV) mRNA and viral vector injections. These are multivalent filovirus “vaccine” platforms, meaning they are designed to target multiple Ebola viruses and related filoviruses simultaneously — including Bundibugyo ebolavirus (BDBV).
Four months later (today), the WHO declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) over a Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The same playbook always repeats:
Develop “vaccine” → Fearmonger new outbreak → Declare emergency → Gain power & control → push “vaccine” as only solution.
This marks the 17th Ebola outbreak recorded in the Democratic Republic of Congo since the virus was first identified there in 1976 — and the third known outbreak of the Bundibugyo strain since it was first identified in 2007. Across Africa, there have been dozens of Ebola outbreaks over the last 50 years.
Every previous Ebola outbreak has been successfully contained to the affected region without becoming a global pandemic.
Why? Because Ebola — including the Bundibugyo strain — spreads through direct contact with bodily fluids from symptomatic individuals, not through the air or casual contact.
There is simply no biological basis for this to become a worldwide pandemic.
So why the rapid escalation to a full Public Health Emergency of International Concern at this moment?
The WHO says because, as of May 16, there are 8 laboratory-confirmed cases, 246 suspected cases, and 80 suspected deaths in Ituri Province, with the outbreak spreading to Uganda. They cite the lack of any approved vaccines or treatments for this specific strain, high population mobility, and risk of further cross-border spread as major concerns.
However, perhaps they actually declared an emergency because the WHO’s pandemic treaty negotiations recently hit a major roadblock over the Pathogen Access and Benefit-Sharing (PABS) annex, preventing the treaty from being put into effect.
It also appears that the botched hantavirus situation didn’t yield the level of perceived fear they were hoping for.
There is simply no biological basis for this to become a worldwide pandemic.
With America’s exit, Bill Gates is now the WHO’s top funder. Thus, nothing the WHO says or does should be accepted at face value.
Whatever the WHO and mass media throw at us, America should NOT rejoin the WHO under any circumstances. We must not give in to their extortion tactics designed to pressure America into rejoining and becoming trapped under sweeping powers of surveillance, vaccine passports, and mandates.
