Wildfires have killed at least 42 people and injured dozens more across northern Algeria, with the fires continuing to rage in several areas. Summer 2022 temperatures in much of North Africa have exceeded 40C every day for months.
Indeed the record heatwave in Europe was caused by a stream of hot air escaping from the Sahara for weeks on end. El Tarf, the small coastal province, where most died, is famed for its beautiful forests, mountains and beaches.
The blazes on Wednesday ravaged 14 of Algeria’s provinces, with residents having previously complained of a lack of government support and readiness during its annual, and deadly, wildfire season.
Most of the victims were reported in El Tarf province, near the northern Algeria-Tunisian border, where 34 people were found dead.
The death toll included a family of five found in their home and eight people on a public bus whose driver was surprised by flames while traveling in a mountainous region.
“Most of the victims in El Tarf are vacationers who came to enjoy paradisiacal beaches and enchanting landscapes,” Prime Minister Aïmene Benabderrahmane said.
He and several government members arrived in El Tarf on Thursday. The prime minister said the Algerian state would support the victims’ families and pay for renovation work and compensation for the loss of livestock and beehives. The region is also known for its farming industry.
One person died in Souk Ahras, south of El Tarf. Two other people died in the region of Setif, about 300 kilometers (185 miles) east of Algiers, the North African nation’s capital.
At least 200 more people have suffered burns or respiratory problems, according to various Algerian media.
Algerian television showed people fleeing their burning homes, women carrying children in their arms.
People were also seen fleeing in Souk Ahras province, which also borders Tunisia, with local media reporting that 350 residents had been evacuated.
The fire service said Thursday afternoon that 1,700 firefighters had been deployed to battle the fires, of which 24 were still raging.
Earlier, Algerian Interior Minister Kamel Beldjoud said 39 fires broke out in 14 regions on Wednesday alone and that blazes have ravaged 3,200 hectares (over 12 square miles) of forests and brush since the beginning of August.

Using vaccine “shortages” as an excuse, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration arranged a liability shield for the Jynneos monkeypox vaccine by issuing a new Emergency Use Authorization for “fractional doses” using a different mode of administration, and allowing the vaccine’s use in “high risk” children under age 18.
[…]
Just like the coronavirus Event 201, the reported monkeypox outbreak was prefigured by a “tabletop simulation” one year prior and by “suspiciously” timed, before-the-fact clinical trials of monkeypox treatments and vaccines.
With the “outbreak” thus positioned in the headlines, what happened next?
After allowing suspense to build for a couple of months but with fewer than a dozen deaths worldwide, the World Health Organization (WHO) head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in late July “side-stepped” his own advisors to pronounce monkeypox a “public health emergency of international concern,” the WHO’s first such
I had – once upon a time – painted illustrations for David Rovics’ song Fallujah. Rovics, unfortunately, has fallen off the deep end and not just become a Ukranazi coup regime supporter but incredibly equates the blueyellow nazis with the Palestinian people, which is especially absurd when you remember that the zionist entity supports the blueyellow Ukranazi coup regime. Rovics wrote and posted a song on that ludicrous premise; this poem – written in ten minutes – is my response to that.
From The Diary Of Ukranazi Stepan may or may not become a regular feature. I’ll see.
In 2021, 277 million laptops were forecast to be shipped, with nearly 160 million tablet units shipped in the same year too. In 2025, laptop shipments were forecast to fall slightly to 272 million units.
All of them have lithium batteries
Fun Fact: Globally, for every one ton of lithium mined, we mine 100,000 tons of coal (0.08 vs 8000 Mtonnes/year)
Add to that all the earth, overburden, and literal mountaintops blown up just to get to that coal, also add in the millions of oil wells, frack wells, offshore rigs, etc.
The difference is staggering.
AND, AND, AND – Lithium can be recycled infinitely. So at some point we literally won’t have to pull any more out of the earth.
One mention of batteries and the hordes will descend pointing out lithium needs to be mined as well!!!! pic.twitter.com/cAN8KVxETy
CDC admits they were wrong about a huge safety problem by silently deleting the erroneous text
I first saw this on El Gato Malo’s Substack a few days ago. This is not the way to notify the American public you were wrong. Especially on something this important.Steve Kirsch Aug 17 2022
What happens when the scientific evidence is so clear about the spike protein from the COVID vaccines remaining in your body that the CDC has to admit they were wrong?
They just delete the inaccurate statement and say nothing. Nothing!
The mainstream press doesn’t pick it up at all of course. There was no press release or anything to let people know.
Instead, the CDC relies on a kitten to get the word out about the change: El Gato Malo’s Substack.
We knew this already in 2020 but the proof came only on April 30 2021 from the prestigious Salk Institute Report.The first of hundreds of repressed peer reviewed studies showing the Spike Protein in Vaccines escapes and persists around our bodies. Causing multiple illness, insanity and death. CDC and the whole US establishment suppressed the truth and promoted the vaccines to keep the dollars flowing in. Only now in August 2022 do they quietly DELETE the big lie from the CDC advice.

Esports stars Team Spirit have won the coveted PGL Dota 2 Arlington Major title in Texas, marking another success for the group comprised of Russian and Ukrainian gamers.
Team Spirit headed into Sunday’s grand final against PSG.LGD as the underdogs, having been beaten by their Chinese rivals earlier in the tournament.
However, Team Spirit came out on top when it mattered, delivering a 3-1 win against a team who are linked with French football giants Paris Saint-Germain.
The success handed Team Spirit $200,000 out of the total $500,000 pot on offer at the US event.
It also marked another big triumph for Team Spirit in Dota 2 competitions after they won The International 10 showpiece last October – again with victory over PSG.LGD in the final, and on that occasion claiming a mammoth $18.2 million in prize money.
Team Spirit is traditionally a Russian-based team, but opened an office in Belgrade back in March following the onset of the conflict in Ukraine.
The team which claimed success in Arlington was comprised of Russian gamers Alexander ‘TORONTOTOKYO’ Khertek, Magomed ‘Collapse’ Khalilov, Yaroslav ‘Miposhka’ Naidenov, and Ukrainians Ilya ‘Yatoro’ Mulyarchuk and Miroslav ‘Mira’ Kolpakov.
After their victory, Team Spirit will look to defend their title at The International 11, which is set for October in Singapore.
