Sad news. Conservative journalist George Neumayr is dead from malaria while on an investigative trip to the Ivory Coast. Go here to read about it. Go here for his obit at The American Spectator. Neumayr was a tireless critic of Pope Francis and the Biden administration. I will miss him and his journalism. Neumayr resolutely refused to say that naked popes and presidents were dressed in the height of fashion. I hope he is already pounding the keyboards for truth in the abode where there are no lies.
Conspiracy theorists are having a field day with his death. I am sure that Neumayr’s only regret is that he is not here to cover the breaking story!
From John Zmirak’s Facebook page:
“ I don’t know if we will ever find out the truth. And I hate promoting GOSSIP. But I think those who respected George Neumayr and fear foul play should consider this: He went to Ivory Coast to pursue a long-distance romance with a woman he hadn’t yet met. Then he died suddenly, of a disease that doesn’t usually kill quickly, after warning us all publicly that his life was in danger. I hope this wasn’t some honey-trap, concocted by the corruptos whom he investigated. And I pray for the repose of his brave, brave soul.”
More significant perhaps is that he tweeted recently that he thought he had some sketchy local food that laid him under but he was feeling fine thereafter. If you do not take precautions it is still easy for a non-native to die in Africa. The idea that anyone would murder him because of his opinion journalism I find unlikely because he just wasn’t that important of a factor in the great scheme of things, and it would be much easier to do him in here in the US, and much less suspicious. Assuming he had malaria, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was combined with amoebic dysentery. An outbreak at the Chicago World Fair in 1933 led to around 98 deaths. Easily controlled with anti-biotic treatment, if you are largely asymptomatic, especially perhaps if you just write any symptoms off as due to the malaria you have been diagnosed with, it can do a real number on you.
Oh, I instinctively find any unsubstantiated claim foul play suspect in cases like this.
Taylor Marshall wasted no time taking the opportunity to do…well…what Taylor Marshall does.
Come to think of it, when traveling to a part of the world where you can contract a particular disease, you should take preventative measures. When I was in the Navy, we were required to receive any immunization or take any prophylactic drug relevant to whatever part of the world we were deploying to. I particularly remember taking an anti-malaria prophylactic on at least one occasion. It may have been hydroxychloroquine, a common malaria prophylactic. All I remember is the ships hospital corpsman (Navy medic) handing us a pill and telling us to take it.
I think the State Department strongly encourages, if not requires, travelers to take such precautions. That Neumayr didn’t strikes me as odd.
I’ve never had malaria but isn’t it sorta obvious when you have it, fever chills etc.
Since he travels so much I do wonder if the jab was required which has been known to not only weaken immune systems, it can reactivate in some old diseases and cancers even.
But I am still in shock 😮
R.I.P. George Neumayr. I would hope that anyone traveling to that area of Africa would have had the necessary immunizations and taken malaria prophylactics before arriving in country. Chloroquine is one of many, hopefully it is available in the US now that the pandemic has declined. In addition packing over the counter meds for 1st aid and diarrhea is a smart idea.
Maike Hickson: Throughout your book, you make references to Pope Francis’ relationship with communism or with certain communists in particular. Could you describe for us in general his attitude toward communism?
George Neumayr: He tends to speak of communism in benign terms. He told the Italian press that he wasn’t “offended” if people call him a communist since he has “met many Marxists in my life who are good people.” Another time he said, “I must say that communists have stolen our flag,” because “the flag of the poor is Christian.” Past popes, who recognized the power of communism to enslave the poor, would have found such comments very puzzling.
MH: You write in your book that Pope Francis is sympathetic and supportive of the “radical political agenda of the global left” and you call him an “ecclesiastical equivalent of Barack Obama.” What are specific topics that Pope Francis is promoting that remind you of a worldview which is sympathetic with communist ideas?
GN: Hardline leftists used to say that they dreamed of a world without popes. But now they gush about Pope Francis. The radical academic Cornel West summed up the reason why: “I love who he is, in terms of what he says, and the impact of his words on progressive forces around the world.”
In other words, Pope Francis has turned the Vatican into a bully pulpit for the left’s favorite causes, including: open borders, gun control, climate-change activism, the abolition of the death penalty and lifetime imprisonment, and the socialism of central planners.
This is why the 1960s radical Tom Hayden said his election “was more miraculous, if you will, than the rise of Barack Obama.”

R.I.P. George Neumayr.
Ivory Coast is one of the more developed countries in post colonial Africa. This is quite unexpected. RIP
Since malaria is seldom fatal (though, as a person from a part of the world where it’s absent, he’d be at higher risk), I’m going to wager he had coincident with it some other ailment.
He was only 50. Don’t think he had a wife or any children.
Blame it on the jab then.
Blame it on the jab then
Why?
Ivory Coast is one of the more developed countries in post colonial Africa.
Yeah, but the west coast of Africa was known as the grave yard of the white man for a very good reason. Life expectancy there for whites until the latter part of the Nineteenth Century was about a year. Slave ship crews would rarely get beyond the coast, obtaining their slaves from slave hunting tribes, and still slave ships usually lost the same percentage of their crew as the percentage of slaves they were carrying.
