Corona Crisis: Nature Strikes Back

What is the relationship between Congo, Corona Virus and Mobile Phones?
Cause and effect! Yes, they are interconnected and interdependent!

Scientists can show us that the root cause of the corona virus is political and financial control.

This harmful behaviour causes:
Poverty, corruption, geopolitics, Rwanda genocide, deaths, rape, pillage, Congo
rare-earth minerals mining by terror and forced child labour,    
unethical trade, blood phones made in China, Wuhan wet markets to feed poor
exploited phone factory workers, bioweapon development, ecological destruction,
biodiversity loss, hungry people eating bats and other wild animals, corona virus, lockdowns,
more deaths, distrust, dehumanisation and so on…

Hence the future is more uncertain than ever and more and more people are in despair.
But one man dares to stand up and scares the hell out of those responsible…

The Brussels Lobby

The race for limitless energy takes a dramatic turn. The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), under construction in France, aims to replicate the sun’s helium fusion process using a Tokamak. However, the project faces significant delays.

Amidst these delays, a French start-up achieves a ground breaking feat by successfully fusing hydrogen and solar heat. This innovation leads to the creation of Hysoplasm, or HSP – a cheap, abundant and sustainable energy source.

But this development doesn’t sit well with those invested in traditional energy sectors. Key players in the Oil, Gas and Finance Industries in Brussels are alarmed. To counter this emerging threat, they turn to Chris Towers, a formidable and unscrupulous lobbyist. Towers finds himself in a clandestine meeting with EU Commissioner Manuel Rojas, responsible for Climate Action and Energy Union, in an obscure café in Brussels.

This is a story about the high-stakes world of energy politics, where technological breakthroughs clash with entrenched interests, whilst the future of global energy is at play.

‘Which interests stand in the way of real climate solutions? This eco-thriller tells a story of the fight of a start-up against the fossil industry. It introduces HSP as an abundant, renewable energy for a cleaner future.’ Pim van Galen, journalist at Dutch Public Television.

‘A fascinating and well-timed story.’ Ton van Uffel, energy and chemistry expert.

‘This book convinces with the sincerity of the plot and the richness of the details. It deserves a wider audience than just environmental geeks. Captive reading.’ Jochem Visser, lawyer.

‘Fighting injustice is tempting and honourable but not easy.’ Roberto Bastida Caracuel, port development manager.

Blood Phone

Children in Congo are digging rare earth minerals and ore for weapons, mobile phones and electric cars held at gunpoint by child soldiers. Millions of people have been killed in Congo because they live in resource-rich areas. ‘Rape is a weapon of war’ says Congolese Dr Denis Mukwege, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Erik Luyts, a commodities trader based in Geneva, travels to Congo because the Chinese are becoming too competitive. His wife Pauline at Doctors Without Borders warns him against it. Erik decides to do something about the terrible abuses, but can’t prevent that his hidden past is catching up with him.
