For Episode 8 we invited along Guest Hosts Robin and Christine to comment on the elections in Canada and the United States. We discussed election processes from a historical perspective as well as introducing some well worn speculative fiction memes about corporate and/or technological dystopias. We had at least one Ingsoc reference and Huxley got dragged in. Robin brought his experiences as Canadian librarian working in The Republic of The Gambia [for propaganda click here] [for the BBC's take click here] in the IT/ISP/networking sector; Christine had some pungent comments about the Liberal Party in Canada. Dave asked us all for election predictions in both countries; the Psychology PhD amazed the two history guys when he gave precise numbers in his predictions; Ken had a chance to rag on voting machines while asking why we trust the humans who are the "machine" now to do it – before completely his voice entirely to laryngitis.
All hail Lieutenant President Yahya Jemmah!
Enjoy episode 8

Is this true, President Jammeh's daughter belongs to a secret cult of divinity known as the Ya Ya Sisterhood? I don't remember were I read that. I trust the source was accurate; it's the internet after all.
From what I have learned about that dude from Robin I would not doubt it...
I believe the Ya Ya Sisterhood are a break-away faction of the world-running Bilderberg Group:

I must say I did a decent job predicting those results...
