The movie "Hotel Rwanda" highlighted amongst other issues, the limitations of undermanned and underfunded UN peacekeeping forces. In this scene, General Roméo Dallaire is holed up at the Hôtel des Mille Collines where he and a handful of UN troops attempt to protect Tutsi civilians from frenzied interahamwe who've just murdered 10 Belgian peacekeepers.

Whoever heard of such a thing as criminalizing the collection of rainwater?

Government Criminalizing Rainwater Collection in All Out War on Self Sufficiency
Phillip Schneider
In several states, it is illegal to collect rainwater and the government is making it more and more difficult to live off-grid.

We can't allow the government to control our essential resources.

Recalling the achievements of an unassuming legend.

August 9 2022 marked 10 years since the 800m WR was set in extraordinary style, by an extraordinary athlete, before a fantastic crowd at the London Olympics.

Recalling The Achievements Of An Unassuming Legend.

Andrew Osagie and Rudisha. The lanky Maasai warrior whose elegant running style has been described as poetry in motion, paced Osagie to a last place finish that would have won the British athlete gold at the three previous Olympics (Thursday August 9 2012).

Widely regarded as the best race of the London 2012 Olympics, the men's 800 metres assembled a cast that will never be seen again. And in fact, of the men who lined up on that famous August evening, only Rudisha would return to defend his title at the next Olympics in Rio.

Such was the pace that was set by the greatest 800m runner ever, that he pulled the rest of the field to 7 Personal Bests, 3 National Records, and 1 World Junior Record.

But make no mistake about it, Rudisha knew beforehand that he was going to produce something special on the day. He said as much in the warm-up area in the presence of Kip Keino, as well as his younger teammate 17 year old Timothy Kitum.

Then a youngster himself at only 23, Rudisha advised Kitum to run within himself and not to attempt to follow the breakneck pace that Rudisha was about to throw down. Said Rudisha to Kitum, "I’m going to break the world record today and if you follow me you will die."
