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 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

MARTINE MOISE'S NEW YORK TIMES INTERVIEW: WHAT SHE IS NOT TELLING.

ICHEOKU says Haiti's bereaved First Lady and widow of slain President Jovenel Moise has not come clean with what happened to her late husband. Although she has been trying so hard to get ahead and stay on top of the story, but each time she tries, she ends up throwing more curve balls than clarity, into exactly what happened on that fateful tragic night when gunmen murdered her husband in their bedroom in Port-Au-Prince. 

Previously, we were told that she was at the corridor beside their bedroom entrance door where the assassins stormed their home. Now, the story has changed as she tells us that her late husband asked her to lie on the floor beside the bed and you wonder which husband, fearing an immediate armed intrusion in their bedroom and harm to his wife, would ask her to lie down on the floor beside their bed. 

Every husband would naturally implore their wife to run and go and hide somewhere far removed from their bedroom. At least if the husband had time to make two different telephone calls to two different security officers, it means that she had time to have ran away from the bedroom into hiding. She also said that she went to their children's sleeping area, woke them up and hide them in a bathroom with their dog. So, why did she not hide with them in that bathroom or at least hid herself somewhere else instead of rejoining her husband in their bedroom to be told later to lie down on the floor. 

How could assassins who were firing their automatic machine guns from shoulder or waist level, strike someone who was lying on the floor first, before riddling the body of a person who was standing up, after making the frantic SOS telephone calls to security officers. Why did they wait in the bedroom to be killed and not take any evasive action such as hiding, to at least delay the inevitable and help them buy some time before the summoned help arrived. If they only shot her on the arm and elbow, how did blood get into her mouth since such happenstance usually occurs as a result of internal bleeding and no part of her torso or thoracic region was breached by the assassins bullets. 

If as she "recalled", her mouth was filled with blood and she was unable to breath, how did she have the presence of mind to remain still and pretend to be "dead" while the assassins ransacked their bedroom drawers. How long can someone hold their breath, especially one that her mouth was full of blood? Even if she breathed through her nostrils, did she not make gargling sound because since her mouth was full of blood, that leaves her with only her nose for both breathing in and breathing out. She also failed to tell us if the lights in their bedroom were on or off. She also said that the only thing she saw before they killed her husband were the assassins boots and she then closed her eyes and did not see any other thing else. 

Yet she said that they shot her first which means that she did not close her eyes when they shot her otherwise she wouldn't know who was shot first. So, where beside their bed on the floor was she lying down; was she lying supine or sideways; otherwise how could bullets fired randomly not penetrate her body but only wounded her arm and elbow? It shows that her gunshot wounds were specifically and methodically placed and was not as a result of random firing by unknown assailants who stormed their bedroom to assassinate the president. There is more to the story than she is telling and she needs to be placed on the investigation list, at least as a person of interest, with vital information in the assassination of her husband, the former president of Haiti Jovenel Moise. 

She closed her eyes and did not see anything else, her mouth was also full of blood but she maintained her composure throughout the ordeal and even when the assassins shone a flashlight on her eyes? It is a difficult narration to believe and will require the suspension of logic and disbelief to accept her story as the true account of what actually took place in that bedroom on that fateful night of July 7th, 2021. It is extremely difficult, if not humanly impossible, the excitement of the commotion considered, for her to pull off such a composure under such stressful circumstance. Moreso, how could assassins who riddled her husband's body with bullets and made sure that he died, not spend similar effort riddling her body with bullets and made sure that she died before evacuating from the scene. 

Someone with mouth full of blood, her eyes firmly shut closed and lying motionless on the floor, listened as the assassins ransacked the room, speaking Spanish as they searched methodically for something in her husband's files and saying that's not it, that's not it, until finally that's it". We also assume for the sake of this piece that it was not all of the assassins that conducted the search and that the whole thing took a while, at least more than some seconds. So why did, at least one of the assassins, hear her grunt or breathing and made sure that she was dead too before they left? As they filled out, one of them stepped on her feet and waved a flashlight over her shut-closed eyes, which possibly was to signal her that she can now get up and continue play-acting her part as an assassination survivor? 

Why would paid assassins "thought" that she was dead, instead of confirming that she was dead by also riddling her upper torso with bullets as they did to her husband; or even putting some pointblank shots into her cranial walls. ICHEOKU says agrees with her but to the extent that the central question remains not only who ordered and paid for the assassination of her husband, but also what role did she play in it? What role did Haiti security hierarchy also play in it too? If the 18 Colombians and several Haitians so far detained as suspects killed the president, why did the president's security detail sign off on it? 

It is irrelevant whatever their motivation was, including whether one doctor and pastor Christian Emmanuel Sanon conspired with Colombia mercenaries to kill the president because he wants to seize political power. Where was the over 30 security agents who make up the president's protection unit? Why was none of them killed or at least wounded that night while defending the president? And yes, the rich and powerful always hold sway in every society and they do not take kindly to any elected official including a president wanting to disturb their groove. So, Haiti is not an exception and their rich and powerful oligarchs possibly had a hand in the assassination but there is still a lot of grey areas not being illuminated by Martine Moise. 

This is a woman who conditioned her interview with New York Times on their non disclosure of her hiding location somewhere in Southern Florida, yet she declared that she is not afraid of her husband's killers. Why then did she want her location off record if she is not afraid that his killers might want to finish her off. The only possible explanation is that she knows them and that they will not hurt her; because they did not hurt her when they could have easily done so inside her bedroom in Port-Au-Prince on July 7th, 2021. Also, her desire for her location not to be exposed could be that she possibly wants some quiet time to nurse her hand back to life; but then, how did New York Times get invited to do the interview? 

ICHEOKU says her story does not add up. It is either that she is still suffering traumatic memory lapses or she is trying to cover her role in the entire scheme. According to her, they were asleep when gunfire jolted them to their feet. Then she ran to wake her two children up and made them hide in a bathroom, hurdled with their dog. What type of dog would not bark after sensing danger and harm coming to their owners? Her husband then grabbed the telephone and called for help; and she still had the presence of mind under panic to use "Honey" while asking him who he called? He then told her that he found Dimitri Herard and Jean Laguel Civil and they told him that they are on their way. 

Then the assassins entered the house "swiftly and unencumbered"; and the husband told her to lie down on the floor so that she would not get hurt. That's where I think you will be safe he told her, but he did not prefix his own statement with "Honey" or "Darling"? If a burst of gunfire came from outside their bedroom, why then did the bullets strike her first? Was she already lying down on the floor as instructed or was she still standing up when the gunfire penetrated their bedroom? How long did the operation last and how many files did her husband have with him in their home that they could so easily find what they were looking for on the shelf. If what they were looking for was that valuable, why would the president just leave it lying on the shelf and not in a safe or strong room? 

And yes, everybody should have died that night, but everybody did not die because it was somewhat an inside job with somebody very close to the president involved and fully participated in orchestrating his assassination. Now, she wants to run for president herself and you wonder whether it is her reward for her role in the killing of her husband. ICHEOKU says whatever vision President Jovenel Moise may have had for Haiti would have been better fulfilled with him alive and piloting the affairs of Haiti and midwifing the vision. But as it turned out, he had none, the reason Haiti was stalled and remained an all motion and no movement society throughout his presidency. 

Anyway, Martine Moise needs to come completely clean with everything she knows about the assassination of her husband President Jovenel Moise and what role, if any, she played in it. But until she does, the shadow of a black widow will continue to hang over her because all the circumstances considered, it could not have been just mother luck that kept her alive; with only precisely placed gunshot wounds on her arm to show for it. It does not make sense, especially when her husband's body was riddled with bullets and they saw her lying down there beside the bed. ICHEOKU strongly believes that she was shot only after her husband was murdered and on the part of her body of her choosing, just to make it look as if she was also a victim. 

Her story does not make sense and the place of her gunshot wounds does not conform with a random gunfire shots, moreso for a "victim" who was lying down on the floor. But the world might never know the depth of the conspiracy that actually killed President Jovenel Moise as the same people who possibly acted in concert are now doing the investigation. Only an expanded team of investigators, comprising of world experts, can truly unravel what happened in Port-Au-Prince on that deadly night of July 7th. So, until that happens, whatever anyone says about the assassination of President Jovenel Moise, including the tale by moonlight being pinned by his widow, Marine Moise, should be treated as pure hogwash. It is sad.
