Is someone bumping off the leaders of developing nations sceptical about WHO Covid vaccination programmes? NOEL ROONEY logs the strange deaths from Tanzania to Haiti.

DEAD PEOPLE’S TALES II

The Angel of Death has likely been no busier than usual recently, but observers of the Conspirasphere might be forgiven for thinking otherwise. The emphasis has shifted from mavericks to mainstream leaders now, with much energy spent on the assassination of Haitian president Jovenel Moise (pictured right), shot to death in his apartments in the presidential palace by a ragtag goon squad of Colombian mercenaries and Haitian Americans. The ease with which a truckload of armed men gained entrance to the palace has raised eyebrows everywhere, and not just those lurking under tinfoil hats.

You don’t have to live in the C-sphere to be suspicious about this incident, of course. The recent history of Haiti is a tragic story of interference by regional powers, to the point where one might reasonably refer to the country’s corrupt and complex web of power structures as government by conspiracy. Moise made enemies in high places, among the Haitian elite at home and in exile, and among those countries that see themselves as having vital interests in the area; he was suspected of embezzling millions from a dysfunctional oil deal with Venezuela, and his friendly overtures to Turkey and Russia probably put him in the crosshairs of more than one threeletter agency.

So far, so geopolitically normal. But Moise’s death was not the only notable demise among third-world leaders in recent times: John Magafuli, the president of Tanzania; Hamed Bakayoko, the prime minister of Cote d’Ivoire; Ambrose Dlamini, prime minister of Eswatini (formerly Swaziland); and Pierre Nkurunziza, president of Burundi, all shufflflfled off their mortal coils in what some would describe as unusual circumstances; and Andry Rajoelina, the president of Madagascar, recently survived an alleged assassination attempt by yet another motley crew of foreign actors.

Now, as the Angel would affififirm, the law of large numbers allows for the possibility of some quite curious clusters in the demographics of death, even a cluster as eerily specific as “head of state of flexible virtue in less developed nation” (and no doubt some would argue that the likelihood of sudden death while in control of a country is probably written into the JD for third-world leaders in modern times). But keen-eyed conspiracists have noted yet another connection between these eminences that perhaps strains the bounds of randomness; all, allegedly, had refused, or were openly sceptical about, the efforts by the WHO (an august body no right-thinking citizen would refer to as Bill Gates’s other little hobby) to vaccinate the entire world against the quite obviously apocalyptic threat of coronavirus.

Magafuli was in the news last year in connection with coronavirus. He claimed he had ordered the Tanzanian military to conduct an experiment on the PCR test, the results of which included a goat and a pawpaw testing positive for Covid-19. And he had been talking to Andry Rajoelina, who was reported to have discovered a simple herbal cure for Covid that Magafuli was keen to import (see FT394: 50-54).

Hamed Bakayoko was widely reported to have died of cancer in a German hospital. But reports in some African publications suggest that he and his butler, Nestor, fell ill suddenly, at the same time, and there were rumours they had been poisoned. The fact that his death was reported as occurring on two different dates may have added to suspicions. Plus Bakayoko was the second Ivorian leader to die suddenly in under a year; Amadou Gon Coulibaly, his predecessor, died just eight months earlier.

Ambrose Dlamini reportedly died of Covid-19, at the age of 52, the first world leader to succumb to the disease. He had tested positive for the virus (so had President Magafuli’s goat) but some sources in Eswatini suggested that he had in fact been poisoned – the victim of an internal power struggle in the world’s only remaining absolute monarchy. And the country had refused the Astra-Zeneca form of the vaccine, at least.

Pierre Nkurunziza had been president (some might say dictator) of Burundi for 15 years, after coming to prominence in the Hutu-Tutsi civil war. He was a sports enthusiast, and apparently very fit. His death, reportedly from a heart attack, was greeted with confusion in the country; again, there were rumours of poisoning. And again, some claimed he had died of Covid. The mysterious disappearance (and sudden reappearance) of his wife only added to the rumours.

Andry Rajoelina (he of the herbal cure) did, at least initially, refuse to involve Madagascar in the vaccination programme. So despite cheating the Angel, he fits the conspiracist profile.

And there’s another strand to the story, at least as it concerns Moise. A report appeared in several online outlets claiming that he had been investigating the role of the Gates Foundation in the events around the pandemic; moreover, the Dutch investigative journalist Peter de Vries, who was shot just hours before the Haitian president, was alleged to have been in touch with Moise in connection with a similar investigation. Quite why Moise (or de Vries) would be doing this is not explained; but perhaps he had found a good use for the missing millions from the Venezuela oil debacle after all.

Is there enough evidence to suggest that Big Pharma or its allies in the deep state are stalking the corridors of power, bumping off third-world leaders for not towing the coronavirus line? Or has the Angel of Death turned vigilante, and decreed that political corruption is a capital offence? And why did mainstream fact checking agencies feel the need to debunk the story?

In a world where there are no coincidences, nothing, apparently, can be left to chance.
