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.

JUST THE FACT.

#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.

KURDISH NORTHERN SYRIA: LET UNITED NATIONS SEND IN PEACE KEEPING FORCE.

ICHEOKU says so many people have been screaming themselves hoax that President Donald John Trump ordered American troop withdrawal from the northern Syrian boarder with Turkey, where Kurdish fighters are holding up. These people brand the president's order as a betrayal of those Kurds who fought along side the United States of American military to deny and deprive ISIS their previously established and held caliphate. 

The same today's screamers did not see anything wrong when former President Barack Hussein Obama did not see it fit to defend the same people from ISIS and watched as ISIS took over the neighborhood, completely overrunning it and establishing their caliphate in a large swath of land stretching from Syria to Iraq. President Obama said then that those Kurds, alongside the rest of the world, have to learn how to co-live with the fact of an Islamic caliphate and went further to technically order the United States military to stand down and not allow them to take the fight to the enemy. As a result, ISIS grew and expanded, taking a lot of territories spreading from Syria to Iraq. 

But suddenly,  all these Kurds' lovers are now crawling out from their dark dank hiding places to register their great displeasure at the commander in chief for ordering that American military should come back home to their families, having finished the job commanded, dislodged ISIS from their caliphate. ICHEOKU says supports the president's ordered withdrawal and adds, if not now, when? 

There is never a convenient time, nor would there ever be a time when withdrawal of troops will be warmly received by the opposing forces; and America cannot remain there forever. Like Iran once rightly put it concerning Iraq, they are in the neighborhood in perpetuity; while any foreign forces there shall one day get tired and pull out and return to the country they come from. This is the hard fact of the matter, where we are now; as the troops must now come home, having finished their primary assignment to uproot ISIS. Not to do so will be creating another near permanency of American stationed troops in another foreign soil; as American forces are still in Germany and South Korea after over five decades since they first moved in. 

The United States of America cannot continue to do the work which the entire world ought to and should be doing. There is a United Nations Organization, a world body, which is saddled with world issues and which should be carrying the load, maintaining peace in hot flash points, including in contested boards between countries throughout the world. The Northern Syrian boarder should not be an exception, especially in a world aspiring for globalization, yet wants only America to be shouldering the entire burden of maintaining fragile peace between peoples and countries; particularly in cases of ancient intractable tribal disputes, where people hate each other with passion and are mortal enemies from thousands of years. American taxpayers and military cannot continue to solely bear the cost or remain the police force of the world, especially when the world does not subsidize their effort nor show genuine appreciation for what they do. 

Turkey as a country also has its own security needs and should do what it considers in the best interest of securing its boarders and protecting its territorial integrity, as well as assuring the safety of its Turkish people; admitted that in the process, some eggs might be broken to make the omelette. It is also a fact that nearly every country in the world has their own minority populations and that not every minority population that aspires statehood and to be a self governing independent country, must achieve the status objective. So, until there is a meaningful way to resolve the Kurds desire to form an independent country, for all the Kurds spread throughout the region, in Syria, Iraq, Turkey and Kazakhstan, a need to maintain relative peace in that region is desirable. So, whatever it takes to keep a lid on the simmering problem and in order to avoid a total breakdown of law and order, including yielding the boarder, is worthwhile an effort. 

The world, including America, should make sure that whatever Turnkey does going forward, will not amount to another Armenian genocide of the Kurds, and that way assure  a reasonable somewhat resolution of the impasse. But whatever happens, American military must not be made the buffer or canon fodder of any unraveling situation there, should Turkey decide to make an incursion, regardless. America and Turkey are both NATO members and they cannot fight each other just because of some ethnic Kurds agitating for independence. Life is about the balancing of interest, which always trumps emotional sentiments. 

Yes, it is true that the Kurds helped with the fight against ISIS, but America cannot become their protectors and guardians forever, as that will simply be too much to ask for in return. Therefore let the world body step in and work out an arrangement, where all the parties involved could have a relatively fair settlement of their dispute. The United Nations can declare the area a disputed territory and have a United Nations Peace Keeping Force stationed there to keep the peace. They will also have to assure Turkey that no terrorist will be allowed to strike them from the Kurdish area and also downplay the Kurds desire for an independent country, at least for now, until such other future amicable settlement or resolution of the matter becomes possible. 

The expectations of the Kurds must be tampered down and the threatening posture of Turkey must also be contained and that way, their centuries old enmity can be somewhat contained and prevented from boiling over. But anyone asking that American forces not be withdrawn is being clever by half and not proffering any sensible meaningful solution to the crisis and therefore causing more harm than good. Many of those people are globalists, who had no problem when the troops were sent into battle without Congressional authorization, but now they do not want the same troops to come back home to their families just because there is money to be made, fighting needless wars and policing hostile foreign boarders. 

ICHEOKU reinstates that the only way all the push for wars and more wars by American war mongers and war profiteers can end is the re-institution of the draft. That way every American will have a skin in the game and those Washington DC military industrial complex beneficiaries of war, would have their sons and daughters in the military and will have to think twice before canvassing for more wars, because they know that they will be exposing their wards to possible loss of lives and limbs, as well as mental depreciation. Let the globalist United Nations Organization step in and take over global problem and allow America to rebuild its own country. Enough. ICHEOKU therefore supports the president's decision to bring back home the troops to their families and if ISIS raises its head again, send in the fighter jets to blast them back into oblivion, like the president said, case closed.
