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.

IT IS WHAT IT IS.

"There is too much hate in America because there is too much anger in America." - Trevor Noah.

WORD!

A life without challenges is not a life lived at all. A life lived is a life that has problems, confronts problems, solves problems and then learns from problems. - Tunde Fashola.

NOW, YOU KNOW.

When fishing for love, bait with your heart and not your brain, because you cannot rationalize love. - Mark Twain.

JUST THE FACT.

In our country, you can shoot and kill a nigger, but you better not hurt a gay person’s feelings - Dave Chappelle

DO YOU?.

“What you believe in can only be defined by what you’re willing to risk for it." - Stuart Scheller.

HEDGE YOUR CRISIS.

OUR SHARED HUMANITY.

Empathy is at the heart of who we are as human beings. - Cardinal Matthew Kukah.

WORDS ON MARBLE.

REPENT OR PERISH - POPE.

Homosexuality is a sin. It is not ordained by God, therefore same sex marriage cannot be blessed by the church - Pope Francis.

CANCEL CULTURE IS CORROSIVE.


FOR SAKE OF COUNTRY.


MAGA LIVES ON: NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER!

TWITTER IS BORING WITHOUT HIS TWEETS. #RestorePresidentTrump'sTwitterHandle.


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.

TENSION IN THE PERSIAN GULF: WHO WANTS WAR WITH IRAN?

ICHEOKU says whether it is the Deep State or the Military Industrial Complex, both are the same when it comes to being agent provocateurs of wars and profiteering therefrom. Both are Siamese twins joined at the hip by an insatiable lust for money; the piston driving their insatiable appetite for needless, unnecessary and otherwise avoidable costly wars. 

it is all about profit motive. They just want to make money and war is a proven business of money making. They do not care about the havoc which these endless wars wreck on American families and treasury, the overall economy, as well as infrastructure; victims of underfunding, which could use the money being wasted on these ancillary wars. Meanwhile, other nations keep on wondering why America is such a war mongering nation, always looking for wars to fight and sometimes, even provoking one whenever possible and they can get away with it. 

It is on record that no other country in the world likes to fight or has fought as many wars as America has fought and continuing to fight till this day. Not Russia, not China, not North Korea, not any country in Europe; begging the question, WHY is America always fighting wars? These Washington DC swampers are war profiteers who are always looking for avenues to make money; hence they oftentimes cause wars and as soon as they can manufacture a reason for it. To them, only the end justifies the means, regardless of what the reason, where and when the war takes place and whose blood would be spilled, provided they make tons of money from it. 

It does not matter to them that war is such a tragic experience, because war to them is simply business and they are in the business of war making; and with war comes tons of money and a lot of profits. To these people, money is never enough and like the flower in the "Little House of Horror" which lust for blood is phenomenal, their lust for money must be constantly fed, otherwise they will not rest and the country will not know any peace time when its brave men and women are not fighting wars somewhere. They also sometimes engineer crisis just to cause war, so that they can make money. Speaking of the Blood Diamonds equivalence and in America, it is Blood Money from one conflict after another; which spells more money for the members of America's Washington DC well connected and powerful. 

ICHEOKU says but for an anti war President Donald John Trump in the White House, the American military would have since been embroiled in another conflict somewhere in the world, either in Syria or Venezuela or North Korea or Iran or even in the South China Sea. But these war mongers are not giving up just yet, as they are desperately trying to stoke another Middle East conflict against Iran that will eventually result into a shooting war. They released a grainy video of some Iranian Republican Guards in a boat detaching a landmine which they had allegedly planted on the side of an Oil tanker that was caught on fire in the Persian Gulf. It was their narrative that the unexploded magnet-mine was quickly retrieved by Iran to avoid it being traced to them. 

ICHEOKU says were this the case, why was the Republican Guard boat not intercepted right at the very minute of their said retrieval of the mine? Speaking of another "Wag the Dog" and a "convincing" evidence must be manufactured to directly pin Iran down to the sabotage and finally find the "smoking gun" evidence that will provide the excuse to engage Iran. Why would Iran with its back to the wall of excruciating economic meltdown provoke a fight with America, knowing fully well how lopsided the engagement will be, with the one and only remaining Super Power in the world. 

Why would Iran be that foolish to enter into such a gravely skewed handicap match with America by bombing oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz at such a time they are the focus of the entire world to see how they will react to the economic sanctions and whether they will lash out and take the bait of war strewn around their backyard. If Iran could not defeat Iraq in their eight years long war in the eighties, how do they plan to win a war between them and the United States of America. Except it is for a mass suicide, as the president earlier promised that any war with America will spell and existential threat to Iran, Iran will be so foolish to want to engage America in a shooting battle.

First, the pro war story was that Iran was planning to attack United States of American military bases in the Middle East; next was that Iran was planning to attack American interests in the Middle East, which led to the sending of Aircraft carriers and other battle groups to the Persian Gulf. Then within a space of few days, two Oil tankers were attacked while docked in Arab Gulf and another two other Oil tankers were actually set on fire as a result of some form of explosions in the Persian Gulf and automatically Iran was to blame. The latest in this litany of war provoking incidents is that a United States drone was shot down by Iranians; and you wonder if the same group, who are eager for a war with Iran, deliberately flew the drone into Iranian airspace just to provoke a war causing reaction. 

ICHEOKU says these coincidences, happening nearly choreographically and simultaneously, somewhat suggests that America is once again being led by the nose by a well orchestrated machine trying to start another war. It has such an eerie resemblance to the  prelude leading up to the Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction invasion, with Colin Powell, methodically demonstrating at the United Nations, what purportedly was American intelligence video of Saddam Hussein's mobile laboratories of weapons of mass destruction, which unfortunately turned out to be a manufactured hoax. Whether Americans and a very skeptical world would allow these war mongering profiteers to have their way again, is still debatable. The good news however is that an anti-war president, who ran on NO MORE WARS, is in the White House and will be very reluctant to pull the trigger.

So, the world is not a stranger to such periodically manufactured ruses, which the movie "Wag the Dog", gave a good insightful publicity on how it is done. So, could it be that the current video purportedly showing members of the Iranian Republican Guard detaching something from the beleaguered Oil tanker was from the studios of Hollywood annex of the Pentagon or the Central Intelligence Agency. It will not surprise ICHEOKU or any other critical observer if America is once again being played like a pawn in the hands of war mongers and war profiteers who are bent on forcing America into another war, by striking Iran and have Russian drawn into a conflict to defend their ally Iran, which end nobody really knows. What if China and North Korea joins the conflict, leading NATO to enter the war and Japan too, resulting in a Third World War. Such a delicate situation might snowball into a major conflagration  which could spell doom to the world and therefore should be managed with utmost care.

However, ICHEOKU will like to proffer a solution to all these incessant needless wars and forever end them; or better still, bring them within reasonableness and thus make America fight only justifiable wars, which, if not fought, will jeopardize America's overarching interests. ICHEOKU says let America REINSTATE THE DRAFT and watch all those war mongering Washington DC power brokers quit their business of fermenting troubles throughout the world. They will not like their own children to be killed and maimed in wars, period. But as long as it is other peoples' children that are in the military, fighting, losing their limbs, eyes and hearing, being mortally wounded, killed in action and dying from their injuries for America, that long will those war profiteers not care about starting wars and profiting from them. 

They are in Washington DC schmoozing with the Congress and the White House, some of them are in the Congress and some of them work for the White House. Their children are safely tucked away in elite schools or are gainfully employed in Wall Street and other top paying jobs, while other parents are being forced to bury their own children, casualties of wars, which were started by these people. Does ICHEOKU need to add that many of these wars are needless, unnecessary and otherwise avoidable. ICHEOKU says reinstate the DRAFT today and end all these American fought wars. Please say no to any more needless war in the Middle East, not with Iran and not with any other country; and not without a resoundingly convincing and justifiable reason. Enough of the lives and limbs losing and economy-bleeding atrocious wars. Dialogue is always a cheaper alternative. 

So, until there is an incontrovertible proof of Iran's belligerent actions, either to America's interest or that of America's allies in the region, Americans must SAY NO TO WAR WITH IRAN, no more wars. Lets stop the bleeding to lives and limbs, families, economy and infrastructures which these needless wars have become. Let's begin to invest all the money which are spent on these avoidable wars in America to improve America's infrastructure and Americans lives instead of allowing these war mongering profiteers to divert and siphon them through manufactured crisis and wars. Let's rebuild our country with the resources spent on these wars. Say no to wars. #NOMOREWARS.
