How The Government of Kenya is Spying on Your Phone: An Urgent Exposé of State Surveillance

During the recent Gen Z-led protests that shook William Ruto personally and his administration to its very core, many Kenyans found themselves asking a chilling question: How did the police track them down so easily, even in the supposed safety of their homes? Scores of activists and protesters were abducted, many never to be seen again. Suspicion quickly fell on Safaricom and Kenya Power, accused of handing over personal information to a rogue state.

In a revelation that will shock every Kenyan, your private communications—phone calls, texts, and even your physical location—is being monitored without your knowledge. The Kenyan government has been accused of engaging in widespread surveillance of its citizens, using sophisticated tools provided by Israeli cyber-espionage firm Circles.

Chaotic Comedy Unfolds: Beijing Half-Marathon Mystery Unveiled!


In a marathon mix-up that sounds straight out of a slapstick comedy, the Beijing half-marathon on Sunday 14 March 2024 took an unexpected turn as footage emerged revealing a peculiar race strategy involving African runners and a surprising local hero.

The video, which quickly went viral, captured the uproarious scene as Kenyans Robert Keter and Willy Mnangat, along with Ethiopia's Hailu Bikila, appeared to hit the brakes just shy of the finish line, allowing China's very own He Jie to dash past them in a photo-finish frenzy. Talk about a plot twist!

Clocking in at 1:03:44, He Jie clinched victory by a hair's breadth, leaving spectators scratching their heads and reaching for the popcorn. It was a spectacle that even Hollywood would struggle to script!

But wait, it gets even more entertaining! The baffling behavior of the runners prompted Beijing authorities to launch a full-blown investigation faster than you can say "marathon madness." Rumors swirled, theories flew, and memes multiplied as netizens struggled to make sense of the comedic chaos.

Meanwhile, the event's organizers found themselves in a marathon of their own, deflecting inquiries faster than a sprinter off the starting block. With the Beijing Sports Bureau hot on their heels, the pressure was on to unravel this marathon mystery.

As speculation soared, the state-controlled Global Times couldn't resist adding its two cents, dubbing He's victory as "skeptical" amidst the laughter echoing across social media platforms. From "embarrassing" to "performance art," spectators were quick to dish out their own commentary faster than a relay race baton exchange.

But let's not forget, this isn't China's first marathon rodeo. With a history peppered with cheating scandals and organizational hiccups, it seems the Beijing half-marathon stumbled into the spotlight once again. Who needs scripted drama when you have the unpredictable world of long-distance running?

In a nod to the chaos, let's not overlook Shenzhen's 2018 half-marathon fiasco, where 258 participants were caught red-handed in a game of cheat tag. From shortcuts to fake bibs and imposters, it was a scandalous spectacle that left even the most seasoned spectators gasping for air.

So, as the dust settles on Beijing's marathon mayhem, one thing's for sure – when it comes to long-distance running, expect the unexpected, strap on your sneakers, and prepare for a rollercoaster ride of laughter and ludicrousness!
