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.

430 AMERICANS KILLED IN ONE WEEK: IT IS WAR, DEPLOY THE TROOPS.

ICHEOKU says American forces are deployed in so many countries principally to help protect them and also prevent them from killing themselves. The primary argument against bringing American troops back home from Afghanistan is that Afghanis will restart killing each other once Americans forces are withdrawn from the country. So, yes, Talibans are Afghanis and they are killing their fellow Afghanis, fighting a government run by Afghanis in Kabul. The same equally reason goes for other places with various insurgencies throughout the world where American troops are deployed and stationed. 

But in America, American gunmen are running around killing fellow Americans at such a rate that it is nearing the level of "insurgency", so, when will American troops be deployed in the homeland to help protect the American people and prevent these lunatic Americans from the continuing killings of their fellow Americans. Enough of the covering up and pretending as if everything is honky dory in America because it is not as too many American people are losing their lives to senseless shootings. Nearly 1000 shootings in one week with 430 Americans killed and over 1000 others injured, is such a drastic record that everybody in America should begin to seriously ask what is wrong with a system that permits her citizens to be summarily wasted in this manner by preventable gun violence. 

Why are Americans so angry and mad at each other that they readily resort to shooting one another with such viciousness any time they have a disputation or disagreement as to kill over 430 Americans just within one week. What is wrong people or is this blood letting now an acceptable way of life that people just shrug them off until the next incident or they too become victim added to the statistics of the madness. It is time to heavily and mercilessly crackdown on this tragic recurring decimal which has enveloped America as no one is safe anymore in America. Bullets do not have eyes, especially stray bullets, which normally mistake their intended target for a hapless innocent victim including little children. 

A total of 915 shooting incidents were recorded in America just between July 17 and July 23 which left 430 people dead and 1007 others injured. Such a record telegraphs a strong incontrovertible message of nation in distress, suffering from serious gun violence crisis. It is time Washington DC rose to the occasion and look inwards to fixing the problem, no matter what it will take. American people's lives ought to be saved and it is their duty to prevent these blood shedding going on in America. Although, this proposition might not be attractive to the Deep State military industrial complex because it will not be profitable for them because light arms and not bombs will be needed, unlike foreign wars and interventions; but they should take pity on American people, whose lives and the lives of their loved ones are continuously being lost and threatened by these gun violence. 

The authorities should tune out all the political correctness and wokeness noise and crackdown heavily on the ravaging gun violence. It does not matter whose interest will be jeopardized in the process as American people are dying at an unacceptable too high numbers and the authorities are duty bound now to put a stop to it. The government should consider deploying some of those troops returning home from Afghanistan to some of these cities now under siege of gun violence to help bring it under control. If it means cracking some heads and breaking some kneecaps, so be it; but enough of this senseless shootings and wasting of innocent lives. They should just end it however possibly achieved.  

ICHEOKU strongly believes, for example, that if the streets of Southside Chicago is fully saturated with soldiers, that those thugs running around with guns and killing and maiming people will have a very limiting space to run around and pull their triggers. But unfortunately, these politicians running the affairs of the country are rather more interested in how to retain their power base instead of effectively policing the cities. Some of them will not even allow their city's law enforcement officers to do the enforcement for which they were hired and paid for. 

Whether it is because of the color of majority of the victims of these street gun violence that made the authorities to be less concerned or that they are using it to depopulate certain people in America, ICHEOKU cannot say for sure. But whatever the reason, the government should not wait any further to try and stem the tide of the scourge. If the government could care enough about Afghanis who are several thousands of miles away in Afghanistan to want to keep American troops there to protect them, why is caring for American people in America a difficult task to perform. 

American Lives Matter, whether black or hispanic or latino or white or asian or indigenous. Therefore American government must prioritize American lives over any other lives anywhere as their primary mandate is to protect Americans from their enemies, foreign and domestic. These thugs running around the streets, shooting, killing and wounding American people inside America are domestic enemies and should be approached as such. Let the government also suspend the politics of "domestic terrorism" and refocus its energy on the real domestic enemies of America who are the real terrorists, terrorizing American people with guns. 

Enough of the madness. At 430 gun-killed Americans last week alone, if nothing is done to checkmate these trigger pulling lunatics, the death toll might become embarrassingly too high by the time the year ends. Each time Joe Biden has the opportunity to tell the story, he harps on the tragic loss of his son Bo Biden to cancer. It hurts to lose a child and these other parents whose children are being daily lost through senseless shootings are equally hurting and other parents need to be exposed to suffering the same experience of lasting agony and pain. These guns do not fire themselves, people do; and these people are known and could be fished out from those communities that are plagued by them. 

It is also disheartening that community leaders as well as religious leaders in these communities are not shouting to the government to do something about the rapidly deteriorating situation in their communities. Even BLM which seems to get their mojo only when it is a white police officer involved shooting of a black person is not lifting a finger about this scourge. Then you ask yourself, how about these folks being killed everyday by their fellow folks who share their skin pigmentation or does their lives not matter? What is department of Homeland Security doing about it or is the homeland which they are securing only at the airports. Better still, let the government create another department and exclusively task it with getting these trigger happy thugs off American streets. 

With 43,000 gun deaths recorded last year 2020 despite the coronavirus lockdown and now, the more than 24,000 gun deaths already recorded this 2021, what else does anyone, including the government, needs to see before understanding that shootings of Americans by Americans in America have reached an epidemic proportion. That Americans are at war with each other and why is the authorities not raising hell about it or is it because none of them have been affected directly to make them feel the pain which these bereaved families are going through. Please say no to the madness; put an end to the senseless gun violence in America. Let the government do whatever it takes to arrest the spiraling out situation without any further foot-dragging. #EndTheKilling.
