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.

WORD.

"If you cannot speak the truth when it matters, then nothing else you says matters.” - Tucker Carlson.

#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.

HAITIAN PRIME MINISTER CLAUDE JOSEPH FORCED TO STEP DOWN.

ICHEOKU says whether it was the same country or countries and/or the cabal inside the Haiti security organization which masterminded the assassination of President Jovenel Moise that sent him the "cease and desist" notice, their message definitely got through to the acting Prime Minister. They spoke to him in a language which he understands and he understood very clearly that they meant business and that they are not joking when they threw their weight behind his opponent. 

The former interim Prime Minister Claude Joseph have always known that it was the "wishes" of the late President Jovenel Moise that Ariel Henry become the new prime minister. The Prime Minister also have always known too that it was in the "best interest" of Haiti that there is just one recognized authority in Port-Au-Prince and that having two people struggling for power as Haiti's Prime Ministers is not in the "best interest" of Haiti. So what suddenly changed that jolted him in such a manner that he lost his will to soldier on and continue the struggle for power? What forced him to finally step aside, as ICHEOKU is not buying the "I was not pressured into steeping down" malarkey. 

It is either they read him the riot act or his role in the assassination of the president became quite evident and they used it to blackmail him into dropping his ambition. It is evident too that a man who was only some few hours ago, emphatically contending that he is the sole legitimate authority in Haiti power structure, that Ariel Henry was not sworn in and therefore lacks the authority of State, could not just suddenly make a u-turn, change his mind, and now say that Ariel Henry was the "last and final wish" of the late president and that he wants to honor and respect it. He was definitely prodded as there is always more than meets the eye in power politics. But whatever maintains Haiti internal security and prevents the country from plunging  into a complete cataclysm is a welcome development, however achieved. 

However, the United Nations Organization needs to step in and take over the investigation of the assignation as the current "investigation" might not get to the root of the assassination. A  consortium of international investigators drawn from Russia, China, EU, UK, America and some African countries should be raised and put in charge of the investigation, if the world wants to know who actually signed off on the assassination of the Haitian President. Presidents do not just get killed like that and Haiti being within the United States of America geographical sphere and political influence, it does not make sense that all the planning, mercenaries and weapons movements logistics as well as money transfers could go undetected except they were  intentionally allowed to slide. 

So, without an expansion of the investigation to include the participation of other outside countries, whatever current investigation that is being carried out might also be swallowed by the same sink hole which swallowed and made it impossible to detect all the road traveled, prelude to the assassination. A story has come out too that the president made many frantic "save his life" calls to Haitian security outfits but none was responded to within the over thirty minutes that elapsed between his first call and his assassination. Why would a presidential protection force and its backup be so faraway removed from a president's residence that it took them over thirty minutes to respond at gun fired SOS mayday calls by the president. It is also on record that none of his security detail and member of the presidential guard was killed or even wounded defending the president. No pictures have emerged either of the blown up doors, both to his home and his bedroom. So, who is fooling who and who is covering up the true story.

ICHEOKU says strongly believes that the wife had a heads up about the attack otherwise why was she not also similarly "riddled with bullets?" She was also conveniently, "coincidentally" outside the bedroom at such ungodly hour of the night when those "gang" struck. What was she doing outside their bedroom since she couldn't have gone to use the bathroom at the exact moment and most master bedrooms are usually ensuite. Why would the assassins leave an eye witness? Why would they allow her to choose where she wants her own gun shot wounds? On her arm and thighs, all superficial glazing wounds without any serious bone and/or major arterial damage. It needs the suspension of disbelieve, the circumstances considered, to accept that the wife was not complicit in the assassination. 

It is sad listening to the narrative that some "gang" carried out the assassination as it is increasingly becoming obvious that it was a foreign power sanctioned palace coup just to get rid of President Jovenel Moise. Further, the story that one of the assassins was on phone with a third party who was helping him identify the president is a tale by the moonlight balderdash. First President Jovenel Moise is a world wide recognizable public figure; second, he is a very tall person even bothering on being lanky; and third, no other male will be sleeping inside his master bedroom in his own home and only man was found in the bedroom. It is also given that through the planning, training and rehearsal stages, that so many videos and photos of him were  extensively circulated, shown, studied and memorized by the assassins. 

So, it is a baloney trying to once again hoodwink society by throwing the focus off his wife with this bunkum narrative that one of the assassins was on phone with a person helping him to identify the president. They did not dynamite the doors, so who let them in? The wife was in the corridor by the doorway entrance to their bedroom watching her husband get assassinated. How could her late husband be frantically making calls for security to come to their aid and she was busy milling around in the corridor. At least, common sense would have required her to seek a place to hide, even if inside the closet or in the bathroom or in the toilet or even underneath the dinning table. Lastly, how could a home of a president not have an escape duct or a hardened and reinforced hiding place of temporary shelter pending the arrival of the summoned SOS. 

Anyway, the story so far coming out of Port-Au-Prince challenges every logical deduction and reasoning. But the stepping down of interim Prime Minister Claude Joseph, whose 30 days extended term of June 15th expired on July 15th, is still a good development regardless. At least, it has reduced tension between his group and the Ariel Henry's group; and has generally removed some steam in the boiling conundrum of Port-Au-Prince. Now, let Haiti bury their slain president and hopefully expand the ongoing investigation by inviting other countries to participate in it. This is the only way they can get to the root of the matter and indeed truly unravel the real forces behind their president's assassination. It is sad.
