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.

RAPE ON A TRAIN AND FAILURE TO AID: BLAME ANTI MASCULINITY/GENDER WAR?

ICHEOKU says it appears that the good old days when men rushed to help women in trouble is gone and the be your brother's keeper or as in this case, your sister's helper, which imposed the duty to aid someone in trouble is no more. Why have we as a people drifted so far apart that we are losing the basic essential humanity in all of us. That a woman was so publicly raped on a train with other riders watching and did nothing to help her, is rather very troubling to say the least. It is a very unusual development for an American society and you wonder why.

Could it be because of the unceasing attacks on masculinity and the barrage of insults levied on men by leftist feminists activists bent on rubbishing the obvious differences between men and women. They continuously disparage men at any given opportunity and working overtime to force a genderless society upon America. So, is it possible that men are gradually making a calculated decision to let women take care of themselves and their businesses however they see fit, including protecting themselves in such situation as this. These feminist females have severally expressed their desire to be left to their devices, emphasizing that there is no difference between women and men, and that anything men can do, women can do better. Is this possibly one instance where men decided to sit things out? 

In the good old days America when men were allowed to be men and admired for their valor and bravery, when men opened car doors as well as other doors for appreciative ladies to walk in; when men sacrificed themselves to save women and toiled so hard to take care of women, this creep who pulled of this rape in a public train would not have dared do it. If he tried, he would not have been alive to face arrest and eventual prosecution as he would have been summarily put down and done with ever before the police arrived. But our society has since evolved and continuously evolving, and somewhat rapidly cascading into an abyss due to the activities of some crazed out wild eyed feminists females bent on waging a relentless war against men.

Men are steadily feeling unwanted, diminished, disrespected, disparaged and completely reduced to mere laughing stock simply because of the fact of their biology. In some circles, it is even now tabooed to be seen as a masculine man and even worse if the man has an opinion, is strong, brave and courageous. Some men are even being ridiculed as either mansplaining or imbued with toxic masculinity. So, why would men still rush to the aid of a woman in trouble when they know that they will not be appreciated but demonized? Why would men come to the aid of a woman in trouble when they have been told that women do not need men and that women are equal to the task and can save themselves if they are in trouble. 

The other time it was a woman in some crocodile exhibition somewhere who found herself struggling to free her trapped wrist in the jaws of an alligator, when a man eventually intervened to force the alligator to release her wrist. There are so many other occasions and instances when such stronger muscle and greater courage were needed, requiring men's intervention to set things straight; but they are not usually appreciated to encourage their further interventions. It is a known fact that relationship between the sexes in America has deteriorated due largely to this endless attacks and disparagement of men. Even masculinity detoxification has also entered our lexicon in a move to level the playing field and make America a genderless society. With it should also come the shouldering of responsibility equally, some people argue.

Strange things have been happening in America for some time, especially since the pandemic; but a 35 year old man publicly assaulting a woman in a public transit train, with onlookers watching without coming to the aid of the victim, definitely seems to top everything all off. Why were these co-riders so indifferent to the woman's plight and did not become her Good Samaritan. That the assault continued until the eventual 911 call was made and dispatched officer arrived and met the assault still going on, tells everything anybody wants to know about the willful indifference and unwillingness to aid the victim exhibited by the riders on the train; most of who were presumably males coming back from work or pubs and at such hour on Friday night. 

Were they afraid that the attacker could be armed and paralyzed by fear of getting hurt, or decided to just enjoy a free live porn? Why were they so shellshocked into paralysis. What overcame Fiston Ngoy's mind that he went such full throttle without a care in the world about the crime he was committing and so publicly, in the presence of witnesses? Was he under the influence of fentanyl or other opiates that distorted his mind so much that he was living in hallucinatory dystopia when he committed the crimes. It is indeed quite disturbing and should shock every conscience that a human being was capable of exerting such terror on a woman and that people present did not lift a finger to help her. 

Is it possible too that the onlookers made a calculated decision not to get involved in something that they might be roped into or were afraid that in the course of rendering help, that they might be hurt or railroaded into the whole criminal misbehavior. Yes, they should have done something about it, except that the same police now saying this, always advise people not to confront criminals including bank robbers who tellers are told to always just hand them the money as it is insured by the FDIC; and carjackers who we are also told to always turn over our car keys to and walk away. 

What if the attacker was armed with a gun and somebody had gone to help the victim and was shot and killed? Will people and the police not have apportioned some blame to the aider for doing a work which he was not trained and equipped to do, being not a law enforcement officer? Why did the victim not even fight back and in the process her fellow riders would have been compelled to assist her. Not even the emergency chord in the train was pulled by the woman or other riders which would have alerted the train engineer that something bad was going on aboard his train. Was she knocked out or slammed unto the floor of the train and what was she wearing that the animal easily penetrated her. 

ICHEOKU says is not blaming her for anything in what she suffered, just trying to analyze the whole circumstances to see if it was otherwise avoidable, and why the attacker successful had his way with her, with or without any other third party stepping in to help her. A lot of people were on that train who should have done something to help her stop the attacker but they did not do so. It shows the unraveling of the bond hitherto holding the American society, caused by nut jobs who are relentless in sowing divisions and pitting one gender against the other and one race against the other, that today, Americans are more divided and uncaring than ever. 

So, Fiston Ngoy is black, but what color is the victim? Is she also black which probably could explain why the white co-riders decided not to step in, not knowing if there is a relationship between them. In this days of Tik Tok cheap fame, the riders might have also concluded that the attacker and attacked were doing a Tok Tok challenge or dare to be uploaded on social media for a viral video. ICHEOKU says is only theorizing what in the world that could have persuaded the onlookers not to intervene and come to the aid of the woman. Some Americans intervened to save hundreds of French people in a train in France but why did these other Americans not intervene to save an American woman in a train in America? 

Hopefully, they will put him away for a very long time and also provide the victim with all the counseling and psychological treatment which she will ever require to help her deal with the trauma. Although the police said that she will get through the horror filled nightmare but it wont be easy. Not only was she raped, but she was raped by a complete stranger and so publicly, on a train while many people watched. It is enough to give her a lifetime PTSD. But why did it take such a long before before saving the victim or does the transportation authority not have ride-along police officers on their trains? It is horrendous and could have been stopped if there was a live video feed to the engineer of the train about the situational wellness on his train's cars. May God provide the victim some comfort and give her much needed healing IJN.
