GUN VIOLENCE IN AMERICA: FOR WHO THE BELL TOLLS NEXT.

Just five people shy of Sandy Hook elementary school mass shooting incident that claimed 26 lives, the Uvalde Texas Robb elementary school mass shooting at 21 victims, now ranks among the highest grossing gun carnage in America. It is sad that such frequent blood spilling has tragically become part of our culture as a society. May the souls of the killed now rest.

25th AMENDMENT: ITS NOW ALL CRICKET.

Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi once questioned former President Donald John Trump's fitness to remain in office due to what she claimed was his declining mental capacity. Does anyone know what Madam Speaker presently thinks about the incontrovertible case which America is now saddled with? Just curious!

WHO WILL REBUILD UKRAINE?

The West should convert frozen Russian assets, both state's and oligarchs' owned, into a full seizure and set them aside for the future rebuilding of Ukraine. Like the Marshal Plan, call it the Putin Plan.

A HERO IS BORN.

I am staying put. I will not run away and abandon my people. The fight is here in Ukraine. What I need are weapons and ammunitions, not a ride out of town like former Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani - President Volodymyr Zelensky.

#MeToo MOVEMENT: A BAD NEWS GONE CRAZY.

"To all the women who testified, we may have different truth, but I have a great remorse for all of you. I have great remorse for all of the men and women going through this crisis right now in our country. You know, the movement started basically with me, and I think what happened, you know, I was the first example, and now there are thousands of men who are being accused and a regeneration of things that I think none of us understood. I’m not going to say these aren’t great people. I had wonderful times with these people. I’m just genuinely confused. Men are confused about this issue. We are going through this #MeToo movement crisis right now in this country." - Harvey Weinstein.


RON DELLUMS: UNAPOLOGETICALLY RADICAL.

"If it’s radical to oppose the insanity and cruelty of the Vietnam War, if it’s radical to oppose racism and sexism and all other forms of oppression, if it’s radical to want to alleviate poverty, hunger, disease, homelessness, and other forms of human misery, then I’m proud to be called a radical.” - Ron Vernie Dellums.


WHAT REALLY MATTERS IN LIFE - STEVE JOBS

“I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes, my life is an epitome of success. However, aside from work, I have little joy. Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just like me. God gave us the senses to let us feel the love in everyone’s heart, not the illusions brought about by wealth. Memories precipitated by love is the only true riches which will follow you, accompany you, giving you strength and light to go on. The most expensive bed in the world is the sick bed. You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear sickness for you. Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost – Life. Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends. Treat yourself well. Cherish others.” - SJ

EVIL CANNOT BE TRULY DESTROYED.

"The threat of evil is ever present. We can contain it as long as we stay vigilant, but it can never truly be destroyed. - Lorraine Warren (Annabelle, the movie)


ONLY THE POOR WISH THEY HAD STUFF?

“I’m not that interested in material things. As long as I find a good bed that I can sleep in, that’s enough.” - Nicolas Berggruem, the homeless billionaire.

HARRY WALKS AWAY: TAKES SIDE WITH HIS FEMME FATALE.

ICHEOKU says a Christmas spent in Canada, away from the Queen and the royal family's Christmas festivities; a long running family tradition which is observed together by the British royals, is the clearest indication that things will never be the same again in the British House of Royals. It was the most strident way of Prince Harry announcing that it is over, that he is done with the royal family. A definite show of reverberating defiance in which he took side with his wife, against his family and forever parted ways with the British royal family. It was a disrespectful thumbing of the nose and smack down on the Queen, his grandmother, without who there will be no Prince Harry, talkless of his gold digging black American beau. 

Although the slight leading up to the Christmas in Canada were many, including running around butt naked in a Las Vegas hotel room, loud partying with many girls and eventually bringing home a black American divorcee for a wife etc; but the Christmas snub of the Queen peaked it. Now, less than three weeks after snubbing the Queen and other royals at Christmas, the renegade Prince has now announced that his family will be steeping aside from the royal family to assume a normal peasant's life and that he will get a job to support his family. A matter made worse because he did not give the Queen a head's up nor first conferred with his father and brother, Prince Charles and Prince William, about his plans. Rather he decided to carry his spiteful behavior further by publicly humiliating and degrading them, diminished their importance in his life by ignoring them and forced them to know about his decision when everyone else knew about it. 

ICHEOKU says it is possible that Prince Harry is tired of pretending bona fides of royalty and done with living a lie, since he was not sired by Prince Charles as rumored. He also does not factor into the succession plan of the monarchy as there is Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince George before him and young George will also someday father a son whose claim to the throne will trump Harry's. Could Prince Harry have said what the heck, why carry such a burden if there is no expectation of being a King, when he could freely live a normal life, unbounded and unshackled by the grueling royal etiquette. But whatever is the case, the announcement that he and his family will step down from status and become ordinary by getting a job and living primarily in North America is a total break from the British royal family, admitted they are being coy and clever by half with words. The intention has been progressively manifesting and Prince Harry most likely acted to preempt whatever action the Queen might take; a Queen who will now have no choice but to formally relieve Prince Harry of his title and whatever accouterments that came with it. 

Unlike the world which is pretending surprised by the announcement, ICHEOKU saw it coming and a long time ago. In an article published November 27th, 2019 on ICHEOKU:-meniru.blogspot.com titled "Meghan Markle, the agony of an unwanted princess", ICHEOKU somewhat foretold of this outcome. Prince Harry is a rebellious person and he was not cut in the same cloth as his elder brother, Prince William, who was born and prepped to be a King. Prince Harry is a freak of nature, his looks and traits; and some of the things he likes does not agree with royalty and it showed in his choice of wife, a divorcee and a black foreigner who is older than him. ICHEOKU says were it in the days of yore, he could have done more sinister things that could have even ended the monarchy since. 

Hopefully, Meghan appreciates the magnitude of the sacrifice which Harry is making for her sake by walking away from the British monarchy and will not break his heart in whatever way, including not divorcing him down the line. Although she did it before and could be crazy enough as a liberated feminist to do it again, afterall she is not a saint.  Having put a knife between the bond of two brothers, pulling asunder what Princess Diana put together, she is capable of just anything. This development is a further vindication of Prince William who had cautioned and counseled Prince Harry not to rush into anything with Meghan without first thinking it through. Speaking of a crazed out, wild eyed feminist and you are looking at the poster gal in Meghan. Just take a look at her twinkling squirrel eyes and it tells you everything you need to know about her contrived nature. 

Whether this separation becomes permanent or not, Prince Harry disrespected the Queen beyond pardon by not first informing her and obtaining her permission before walking away. Now, the world expects the Queen to act by wielding the big stick and clubbing Harry down, either to force him recant his decision or be damned as a prince. Any other thing will show weakness and a moribund monarchy unfolding. The Queen cannot remain a Queen and expects to be respected by her subjects when her little grandson repeatedly challenges her authority and making her look irrelevant. Prince Harry is a rebel and a radical who repeatedly affronts, flouts and disrespects the monarchy, both in his behavior and actions. Therefore the Queen must read the riots act to him and demand that he either fully conforms or be denounced from the British monarchy. 

If Prince Harry chooses the later, so be it; but the plan to disrupt and disorganize the royal family must not be tolerated. It should be nipped in the bud immediately before he and his femme fatale takes the entire monarchy down. The Queen must be very decisive in order to protect the institution and immediately cut him off from all and every inheritance, including title. It is self evident that things are rapidly deteriorating inside and falling apart within the British royal family. It also appears that the center can no hold the monarchy together; begging the question whether it is about time the monarchy ended. Or better still, is it time for the sit tight Queen to step down and make way for a fresh set of ideas by allowing her son Prince Charles to mount the throne. 

Is the Queen so set in her ways that newer generations such as Prince Harry finds it difficult to understand the relevance of such institutions in this modern times. Why not just do away with such ancient tradition of encouraging societal wealth chasm between the haves and the have nots; as well as one party lording it over others. Why not just let Britain become like any other country with a republican form of government where everyone is equal. 

Anyway, nobody knows how the current face-off between Prince Harry and the monarchy will eventually be resolved; but it is increasingly obvious that Meghan was an otherwise avoidable catalyst which is now threatening to quicken the end of one of the longest running monarchy the world ever knew. Is it possible too that she might end up turning out to be the femme fatale of Harry and his regrets will be plenty; afterall she has put a rift between him and his brother William. Even this idea of abdicating would be hers as well as she seek to isolate Prince Harry in order to control him and put a vice hold on him. But, except for Nostradamus, the future is always shrouded in optimum secrecy which is not penetrable by ordinary human vision; so nobody knows how the saga will end. But hey, congratulations to Prince Harry for standing up for his family and having the audacity to challenge the British monarchy.
