SENATOR JOHN McCAIN IS NOT ALWAYS TRUTHFUL!

The New York Times editorial recently called Senator John McCain a liar! According to one observer, Senator John McCain has recently crossed the allowed boundaries of some truth-stretching into the absurdity of outrageous lies! Senator John McCain's lies range from the annoying to the sleazy, John McCain's campaign has been a ceaseless assault on his opponent's character and policies, featuring a consistent and witting disdain for the truth. Senator John McCain campaign has decided that its candidate can't win honorably, on the issues, so it has resorted to transparent and phony diversionary lies to wriggle its' way into the White-house. Senator John McCain's strategy is an obvious attempt to camouflage the current unpopularity of his Republican brand, the insubstantiality of his vice-presidential choice, and his agreement on most issues — especially economic matters — with an exceedingly unpopular President George Walker Bush! Senator John McCain by telling so much lies, has raised serious questions about whether he has the character to lead the nation. He has defaced his beloved military code of honor. He has run a dirty campaign! According to one writer, the antics of Senator John McCain's campaign have entwined the once straight-talking Senator John McCain in a web of deception.

Icheoku now examines some of the several instances where Senator John McCain has been caught in his own very woven web of lies:-

Senator John McCain lied that Barack Obama favors a government-run health-care system and he was not telling the truth since Barack Obama wants a market-based system subsidized by the government!

Senator John McCain lied that Senator Barack Obama opposes offshore oil-drilling and building new nuclear power plants when over 38 million Americans heard Obama say in his speech at the Democratic National Convention that he was open to offshore oil-drilling and building new nuclear-power plants!
Senator John McCain ran a television ad lying that Obama favored "comprehensive" sex education for kindergartners ;when Barack Obama favored a bill that would have warned kindergartners about sexual predators and improper touching!
Senator John McCain lied when he falsely accused Barack Obama of referring to Sarah Palin when he said McCain's effort to repackage his economic policies was putting "lipstick on a pig"; when it was obvious what the reference was all about! Senator John McCain made a deliberate attempt to change the subject from Palin's lack of fitness for the job and the recklessness with which McCain chose her.
Senator John McCain lied when he falsely accused the "élite media" of spreading rumors about Palin's personal life when in actuality the culprits were a few bloggers and the tabloid press!

Senator John McCain lied in a Spanish language advertisement that Barack Obama opposed immigration reform when the position of Barack Obama on immigration is widely known.

Senator John McCain's lies include McCain's claim that Obama will raise taxes on the middle class when all Americans know that 95% of American will get a tax cut under a Barack Obama's presidency.

Senator John McCain lied to the women of "The View" that Sarah Palin never requested earmarks when several earmarks of the Alaskan beauty queen "airhead" including the one to study Alaskan crabs gestation habits are of common knowledge.

Senator John McCain lied about his closeness and/or relationship with George Walker Bush and his failed administration when evidence abound in every corner that he is the other evil twin of GW. Senator John McCain is MORE OF THE SAME with George W. Bush! Both men are, simply put, a two faced Janus! The only semblance of difference between John McCain and George Bush is in nomenclature of their names - just like six and half a dozen!

Also let us not forget about the rumored sexual affair between Senator John McCain and lobbyist Vicki Iseman in a recent New York Times story about Senator John McCain’s connections with lobbyists. Take for example the Keating Five scandal in 1980’s when Senator John McCain intervened with federal regulators on behalf of crooked Savings and Loan operator Charles Keating after Keating and his associates had poured some $112,000 into Senator John McCain’s campaign coffers.

A decade later, Senator John McCain once again similarly intervened on behalf of Ms. Iseman’s wealthy clients – who likewise had contributed many tens of thousands of dollars to his campaigns. In 1998, when Senator Jon McCain chaired the Commerce Committee, which had oversight over the Federal Communication Commission (FCC), he wrote an extraordinary letter to the FCC Chair that threatened to overhaul the Commission if it closed a regulatory loophole that would allow one of Iseman’s clients to circumvent federal rules barring companies from owning more than one television station in a single city. The following year, McCain wrote to the FCC on behalf of Ms Iseman client Lowell W. Paxson who was trying to get approval for adding a Pittsburgh television station to his media empire. Senator John McCain lied that he was only urging the FCC to reach a decision on the acquisition after a long delay and was not advocating on Paxson’s behalf. It didn’t take an Einstein to read between the lines the intent of a letter from the Chair of the Commerce Committee which demanded that “each member of the commission” write to him “no later than the close of business on Tuesday, December 14, 1999, whether you have already acted upon these applications.” The FCC Chair wrote back to McCain to protest that “Your letter comes at a sensitive time in the deliberative process as the individual commissioners finalize their views and their votes on this matter. I must respectfully note that it is highly unusual for the commissioners to be asked to publicly announce their voting status on a matter that is still pending.”

After publication of the Times story, Senator John McCain again lied that he has never met with Paxson or a representative of Paxson’s company before dispatching his letter. Yet Paxson said in a widely reported interview that he had met personally with McCain on the matter. The Senator was contradicted by yet another source: himself. According to a 2002 deposition that Newsweek uncovered, Senator John McCain said, “I was contacted by Mr. Paxson on this issue.…He wanted their approval very bad for purposes of his business.”

Senator John McCain's campaign also lied that his staff “met with public broadcasting activists from the Pittsburgh area” who opposed the Paxson acquisition. But Jerold Starr, the co-chairman of the Save Pittsburgh Public Television Campaign, who led the activist opposition, said flatly that “It never happened.” According to an ABC News report by Avni Patel, Starr said “we had no idea that McCain had any interest in our local matter.” Starr further condemned as “a bold face lie” the assertion by the McCain campaign that the opposition, like Paxson, was seeking to expedite the stalled FCC proceedings. “The longer it took, the better our chances were,” Starr said. “It meant that the FCC was paying serious attention to our complaint.” Senator John McCain was not advocating for the common good in these cases.

Senator John McCain lied about the tight relationship he has with lobbyists which continues through his presidential campaign. According to former Washington Post reporter Thomas Edsall, “ eleven (11) current or former lobbyists are working for or advising Senator John McCain's campaign. Responding to this infusion of so many lobbyist in his campaign, Senator John McCain lied that they constitute no problem and that “these people (lobbyists) have honorable records, and they’re honorable people, and I’m proud to have them as part of my team.” Icheoku says that if lobbyist are honorable people then the meaning of honor has to be redefined!

Senator John McCain has also been described by one political commentator as a supremely self-righteous individual who believes himself to be above the rules and regulations he imposes on others. Stating further that this holier than thou attitude of Senator John McCain translates to arrogance of power which would make Senator John McCain a very dangerous man as president of the United States. Icheoku prays that we never get to see this nightmare come to pass hence it should be averted at all cost!

Senator John McCain's propensity to lie has become what political junkies call a meme, an idea or behavior that runs, seemingly unstoppably, from one media outlet to another. One of the pleasures of the 2008 campaign wrote one analyst is watching all those who once admired Senator John McCain for his truthfulness realize the true depths of his moral depravity! Senator John McCain lie so much that he has taken to lying about his own lies.

The current lie du jour of the Senator John McCain campaign is that their man will aggressively take on the greed that is causing the collapse on Wall Street. Given McCain's lack of interest in the economy, wealthy campaign contributors, and ideological hostility toward government regulation, this stance is laughable.

Senator John McCain's campaign lies include false estimates of the size of the crowds attending Republican rallies and that Sarah Palin sold the Alaska governor's plane on eBay all geared to make the Republican ticket more humane and moderate than it actually is.

One commentator has this to say about the lying-abilities of Senator John McCain, "like so many of John McCain's critics, I find myself astonished at the sheer brazenness of the lies he tells". There is no way a truthful Republican can be elected in 2008 judging from the deep hole the inept George Walker Bush has sunk the Republican brand. McCain wants to win. Therefore he lies. In the past, Senator John McCain might have gotten away with lying occasionally but not this time, especially in view of the blatant and brazen lies he has safely woven himself with. Senator John McCain's campaign just settled upon one serial lie after another because the precarious political reality he finds himself demands that if he is to win he has no choice but to lie!

The good news however is that Senator John McCain is being called out on his dishonesty continuously and consistently as he tells them. According to Michael Tomasky, the editor of the Guardian America, Senator John McCain is "the biggest liar in modern political history"! Continuing he stated that there are indeed so many lies associated with Senator John McCain's campaign that one can pick and choose at random. America the choice is yours to either be sold on all the lies of Senator John McCain or tell him that we are not all that dumb as he thinks to buy all his lies. America tell Senator John McCain that we are much smarter than the dumb whiners he thinks that we are; who can be sold on his multiple lies. NOT THIS TIME! Icheoku says the only reason a person tells a lie is because he thinks the other person is too dumb to know that he is lying. A liar is very arrogant and self-effacing! So let us tell the lying Senator John McCain that we know he is merely trying to bullshit his way through and that we have caught him in his web of lies. America, we cannot afford a lying gnome in the Whitehouse otherwise America will be seen as a nation of liars. So America, on Tuesday November 4th, 2008 say with your precious vote, No Way! No How! No McCain! No Palin!

WE ARE ALMOST THERE, AMERICA!

It is going to happen! Tuesday November 4th, 2008 is almost here - just three weeks away for us to make history together as a great nation or forever continue to wallow in the quagmire of racial divisions which has tainted our image over the years. This election is an opportunity to wash away all that was wrong and horrible; it is an opportunity to become a new nation which has since moved on from its intolerance of the past several centuries. Icheoku is not saying that everything will become honky-dory but that it is a great step in the right direction which will heal so many broken souls. You can never know what a man is going through until you are able to walk a mile in his shoes. All indices are favorable that the anticipated outcome will materialise but we must do right by participating in bringing it about.

A vote for Senator Barack Obama is what Americans should do on November 4th, 2008 - this will be the magic bullet to kill off a lot of negatives which had existed and is still existing both here at home and abroad. America needs a rebirth and Barack Obama will do it! America needs forgiveness of sins of the past and no better way to achieve this than for the symbol of what was formerly considered less human to be elected to the highest office in the land. The good news however is that this very symbol is eminently qualified and brilliant; he is also very inspiring and every inch presidential!

America, we can do it and this time it should be for real. The polls are looking good; the money is looking good; the debates are looking good! the campaigns are stellar! So all the conditions for the seed to germinate are present so grow, the crop must. Vote for Obama + Biden ticket this November 4th, 2008 and you would have done your part! So let us make it happen; visit www.barackobama.com to show cause!

PROPHET M.K.O. TIBETAN MEETS WITH ICHEOKU TEAM!

A team of Icheoku bloggers were privileged to meet the Nostradamus of our time! A Nigerian born Nostradamus that is. This acclaimed man of God and doctor of holistic medicine who can see tomorrow, visited the United States of America recently and found time to meet with Icheoku.com for a much anticipated interview. Following Icheoku's interview which were sometimes very invasive, it is our conclusion that he is credible! Our questioning was geared towards finding out if he really possess the power of intuitive cognizance as acclaimed. Whether he does really have power to foretell the future as his fame portrays? What international events he did foretell that came to pass. This man of incredible faith and power provided our team with his past predictions which came to pass - all in his published books of prophesies, predating the events fore-told. The most glaring were the manner of Israeli Sharon's end; the death of Nigeria's former first lady Stella Obasanjo and Olusegun Obasanjo eventual coming out of prison to become Nigeria's president. His name, PROPHET DOCTOR MARCUS KORODELE OLUWATOMISIN TIBETAN!

Below right are cover pages of two books written by Prophet Marcus Korodele Oluwatomisin Tibetan who started his call early in life, at the very tender age of 11 years old; predicting rain and drought without knowing what he was actually doing. He was born in Ode-Aye, Okitipupa Ondo State Nigeria - the first in a polygamous family of 25 children from two wives. His parents are still alive (father is 77 years old and mother is 74 years old). He strongly believes that marriage should be between one man and one woman period! He is married to one wife Bosede Olagundoye and their marriage is blessed with five children - one girl and four boys. For the prophet, the best gift one can give to his/her children is the gift of very sound education. Most of his prophesies have come to pass - 99%. According to him, if you are lawless you will lose a lot. He sees himself as a Christan and is neither racial nor tribal since there is no discrimination in heaven. He does not believe in miracles because miracle does not happen in a vacuum as the basics must be there first for the supposed "miracle" to happen. According to him, miracle is the reward for good, hard work. People should not pray for God to destroy their enemy because God does not destroy what he made; instead they should pray that their enemy change their ways. Do not shout for holy ghost fire because it is not the proper way to tell God your afflictions. His church, the Celestial Church of Christ World-wide with headquarters in Nigeria was founded in 1947 and he presently heads the Elisha Parish. Most of his works are based on intuitive divine revelations and he uses organic herbs, nuts, roots and other plants to cure illness. He performs spiritual healing of the mind and blood-pressure normalisation.

Continuing he said that most churches in Nigeria have deviated from the primary role of a church - salvation. Instead they are seeing it as a business venture to make money hence they propagate whatever message and supposed miracles; just to generate money but cannot and do not deliver the true message of God. This is the cause of the inverse rise crime wave in Nigeria despite the numerous churches in Nigeria.

His church will be opening a United States of America branch of the church at 6715 - 6711 Walker Mill Road, Capital Heights, Maryland 20743 USA. He has toured more than thirty-eight (38) states so far in the United States of America taking his brand of spiritual healing to numerous people irrespective of their faith or creed as according to him salvation is for all mankind. He has also visited more than eighty (80) countries world-wide as ambassador plenipotentiary of the church on a world-wide missionary effort and to cure and heal the afflicted (Icheoku observed that his international passport has six copies glued together with multiple entry and exit visas)

His advice to Nigerians in America as well as the wider Diaspora is to always remember home. According to him, Nigeria is not a lost cause but it will take concerted effort to move it forward and that someday Nigeria will surely get its acts together. Continuing Prophet Marcus Tibetan stated that Celestial Church of Christ world-wide is not a cult but is open for everyone. He advised that in order to avoid marital conflicts especially those resulting in spousal homicides, citing Icheoku's coveted story of "Nigerian Men Wife-Killers", you should not marry who you do not love - do not marry who you do not know! Marrying a stranger is the primary cause of marital troubles in many homes. "Fedexed" wives are also not recommended as there is never enough time for courtship - to actually know the wife or husband you want to marry. Courtship is the foundation of every good marriage - it is very important. Love conquers all. Also do not rush into marriage as there is no particular time-table to getting married - just take your time and marry when it is your time to marry. Always be yourself at all times - do not pretend to be what you are not. Concluding, Prophet (Dr) Marcus Korodele Oluwatomisin Tibetan reiterated that heaven and hell is real. That you should either be hot or cold but do not try to be so many things to so many people, all at the same time.

FYI: Icheoku finds this man believable but suggests you find out yourself if you are damn curious. Also Icheoku is working out an arrangement whereby this very man and prophet of God will contribute a weekly piece for our publication; all geared at spreading the availability of his wonderful work to our numerous audience and visitors. At present, the title of the Sunday bulletin will be "YOUR SUNDAY WITH PROPHET M.K.O. TIBETAN"!

Now click on this link for some of his other prophesy:- Third term agenda!

Prophet Marcus Korodele Oluwatomisin Tibetan is currently on a pastoral visit to the United States of America and can be reached via 973 418 4397; so give him a call and find out for yourself if our assessment of this man of power is correct! The test of the pudding is in the eating! Ciao!

RUSH LIMBAUGH NOW RUNS SENATOR JOHN McCAIN'S CAMPAIGN!

"Bushism must be ripped out, root and branch, everywhere it has been established, or else the presidential election of 2008 is a worthless exercise in futility," so said the editors of Esquire Magazine while endorsing Senator Barack Obama for president and Icheoku concurs totally and completely!

Any observer watching the rudderless hate-themed campaign of the veteran ancient Senator from Arizona, Grandpa John McCain will agree with Icheoku that campaign has been hijacked by the extremist bigoted right wingers of the Republican party. What did they do? They deflated all the tires on the straight-talk express and the ST bus is only idling and could not move forward. This is what happens when someone running for an office is too old to even control an ordinary campaign talk-less of running a government should an accident of an election find him so bequeathed (Icheoku says God forbid evil from happening).

The Rush Limbaugh's led racist hateful bigots have stolen the rug from under the feet of the septuagenarian Grandpa Senator John McCain and today, their gift of Sarah Palin to Senator John McCain has totally derailed his otherwise beautiful campaign effort. Why Senator John McCain fell for this Trojan Horse of a Sarah Palin gift was a rude shock to many reasonable Americans; judging from their now vicissitude and the then invectives which they poured on Senator John McCain when he was running a spirited primaries campaign against their anointed ones - the adulterer Rudy Giuliani (remember his wimpy 'I am waiting for Florida' primaries campaign strategy) and the other money-bag statue-like personality from Massachusetts, Mitt Romney. There is no name under the sky which this group of now freshly-minted or converted Senator John McCain's' campaign managers did not employ to derail his primary campaign. Why Senator John McCain now thinks that these blood-hounds suddenly forgave their misgivings against him is beyond Icheoku's imagination. The result is a campaign which has tanked into the toilets; thankfully to the same group's led effort at getting down and dirty, the Karl Rove style! But unbeknowst to Senator John McCain this group of race-baiting ideologues do not weld as much influence as their mega-phone AM radio stations tend to delude them. Remember, all their supported candidates in 2006 and 2008 lost their legislative elections.

These bunch of no-gooders, discredited rednecks have forced an Alaskan wild boobs unto Senator John McCain as his vice presidential candidate despite his otherwise sound preference for someone who brings something to the table. They deceived him that this air-head Alaskan beauty queen is the shot in the arm his campaign desperately needed; but regrettably this woman whose foreign policy experience is solely based on her ability to see Russia from Alaska has once again proved that the extreme right wing of the Republican party are all not very bright people - they are a pool of mediocrities who fan the ember of hatred, zealotry and fundamentalism. These bunch of loonies do not mean well for this country's decency and when the requiem/nunc-dimitis of Senator John McCain's campaign is sang, their grave will be covered for the final time. These buffoons are stinking corpses waiting to be permanently interred and Senator John McCain's campaign demise might be the undertaker to do this job. Enough of the Rush Limbaugh's hateful debauchery - he is a college drop-out whose analytical prowess is highly questionable and being also a drug-addict who could be over-medicated and possibly in a continuous state of hallucination or perpetual stupor to make any sound judgment, makes the matter worse. Rush Limbaugh basically speaking is just MENTAL! Rush is a vagabond and Limbaugh is a raving lunatic!

Senator John McCain, by conceding his campaign to these racist bigots shows another example of his lack of leadership which failed to coral these mongrels or better still completely excise them from his campaign. If this is not another faulty judgment of this seeming Alzheimer's case, then who knows what so qualifies. These people are the cancer which has metathesised in the campaign of Senator John McCain and is now incurable which will herald its demise. Some of their statements are rather very inflammatory and sometimes suggestive of their intolerance and/or call to arms. Have you observed how angry they have made all those nut-cases that appear robotically at Senator John McCain's campaign rallies? Recently, they have permanently boxed themselves into a corner and now finds it extremely difficult to be any objective - it is very hard for them to appreciate the great strides America has made over the years regarding objectivity devoid of skin-color.

However, Icheoku prays that this election be a land-slide to show that America is the land of very objective and fair minded people who would always go for the gold; and also as a statement that the Rush Limbaughs of this world now constitute a dying species whose days are numbered. They all belong to the lonely cemetery as their hatred for all that is good about America is very incendiary. As for the other members of this group, Icheoku will not waste its time acknowledging them as they are that sewage, but suffice it to admit that we listen to Rush Limbaugh sometimes and his mouth deserves to be soap-washed!

A NIGERIAN FELON FINALLY GOES TO THE BIG HOUSE!

A Nigerian doctor, George Chidebe Udeozor, 51, formerly of the 14400 block of Seneca Road, Darnestown (Germantown), Maryland, USA was sentenced to 97 months in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release (parole) upon completion of term. His offense:- he and his ex-wife, Adaobi Stella Udeozor, 46, also a medical doctor and who has been serving her own 87 months sentence since 2006 were found guilty of conspiracy to commit involuntary servitude and harboring an alien for financial gain. They held a young Nigerian girl slave at their home, turned her into a live-in nanny and domestic help without pay or any educational opportunities or benefits.

The presiding federal judge of the United States District Court in Greenbelt, Judge Peter J. Messitte also ordered George Udeozor to pay restitution in the amount of $110,249.60 to the victim, who was a 14-year-old girl when she arrived in the country in 1996, for lost wages, lost benefits and missed opportunities. George Udeozor was also alleged to have sexually and physically abused the victim, using her as his sexual object. The victim was rescued in 2001. George Udeozor had fled to Nigeria to escape justice in 1999 but was extradited to United States in February 2008 to face his nemesis - the law!

According to the officers involved, George Udeozor violated the prohibition against slavery and involuntary servitude forcing a helpless and innocent girl into a life of servitude while inflicting physical and sexual violence; this is simply intolerable! George Udeozor it was said, committed unconscionable crimes and was brought to justice.

According to the story, in September 1996, George Udeozor traveled to Nigeria and, using the passport of his oldest daughter, smuggled a 14-year-old Nigerian girl to his home in Maryland. He and his then-wife, Dr. Adaobi Stella Udeozor, used the girl as an unpaid domestic servant and child care provider for their six children for approximately five years, from October 1996 to Oct. 28, 2001. The victim cooked, cleaned the home, did laundry and took care of the Udeozor children. During that time, the victim was physically abused. The Udeozors did not send the victim to school and did not pay the victim or her family for her work. At times, the victim also worked in Adaobi Stella Udeozors medical offices, for which she did not receive compensation. The Udeozors compelled the victims labor by inflicting verbal and physical abuse on her, including when she purportedly did not do her work correctly. They threatened the victim with arrest and deportation if she left the home. Additionally, from sometime after the fall of 1997 when the victim was just 15 years old, until the time George Udeozor left the United States in late 1999 to return to Nigeria, George Udeozor had sexual relations with the victim in the Udeozor home. He warned the victim not to tell anyone about those episodes. On Oct. 28, 2001, the victim called the police, who took her to a homeless shelter.

ROSS PEROT WARNS AMERICA, DON'T DO IT!

Voting for Senator John McCain says Presidential candidate Ross Perot should be a no brainier - simply DON'T! This is because the grumpy old grandpa Senator from Arizona, John McCain is a mean vicious opportunist who does not care a hoot about any person but himself! Senator John McCain was so mean and uncaring that he walked out on his fateful wife of so many years simply because she was involved in a car accident and developed a minor limp following several surgeries to stitch her together. According to sources, John McCain said that Carol McCain was no longer the swim-suit model he had married. If Senator John McCain could be this heartless on matters affecting a fateful wife Carol McCain who devotedly waited on him to return from Hanoi Hilton for five years mothering their three kids, how the American people will be treated under an accidental John McCain's government (God Forbid) will leave much to be desired that even a street leper might fare better!

So America, Ross Perot has spoken and Ross Perot knows Senator John McCain very well! Listen, when such an insider most reluctantly steps out for an ominous warning; it was not an easy thing to do especially when both families has been so close that it was Ross Perot who introduced John McCain to the Reagans! It was Ross Perot also who paid Carol McCain's medical bills for the over twenty-three surgeries she needed to live following a horrible accident she had while running errands for Senator John McCain's family's Christmas obligations! In return for being such a dutiful wife, Senator John McCain just DUMPED HER and latched on to Cindy 'Lizardly-looking' McCain - Nee Hemsley. Ross Perot has no dog in this race but owes duty to warn the American people not to be swindled by a conniving and contriving bare-faced angry lying old man who is nearly grave-bound! America do not be fooled by this gnome! DO NOT VOTE FOR SENATOR JOHN McCAIN, AMERICA! Senator John McCain is poison! Once again, Icheoku reiterates, No Way! No How! No McCain! No Palin!

AMERICA, KILL TWO BIRDS WITH BARACK OBAMA'S PRESIDENCY!

America, elect Senator Barack Obama and get yourself buy one get one free. By electing him, you are electing the better of the two candidates and also as a plus you are killing racism in America with a masterstroke! Put the likes of Jesse Jackson out of work and Al Sharpton out of business of marketing racism and race-based activism. He is better than the angry wrinkly ancient McSame!

At this stage in the game, Senator John McCain's name is irrelevant and for all that Icheoku cares, McCain might as well be McNoInsurance; McGuilty; McCoke; McSmallie; McOutoftouch; McNoplansatall; McSmear; McNobrains; McTemper; McAncient; McVeryold; McBush; McUnforgiving; McPalin; McNemesis; McGnome; McHater; McWicked; McRacistbigot; McMinime; McInsame; McMoreofthesame; McLittle; McOpportunism; McWifedesserter; McMessingaround; McAcerbic; McDeadmanwalking; It really does not matter.

What matters now is that the American people are not as dump as Senator John McCain portrayed them to be by lying to them through both sides of his mouth while deluding himself that they are too dumb to remember yesterday's history. Otherwise why run on empty thinking he can easily Houdini the American people into electing more of the same together with the crazy-horse Alaskan beauty queen? Once again, Icheoku says never has the opportunity at this double whammy been better presented than at the present time - a golden opportunity calls to force Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton out of their business of race and into bankruptcy.

America, vote for the change we can believe in and let us start hoping once again! Senator Barack Obama is the answer to the question, are all hope lost? Be an instrument to bringing this earth-shattering change in America to fruition, vote smart! Visit www.barackobama.com to see why he is the one, America!

HAVE YOU EVER MET A LIVING GODESS?

The Himalayan Mountaineous Hindu kingdom, Nepal has a living and breathing goddess known as Kumari Devi (a deified young girl)! The custom of worshipping a pre-pubescent girl, who is not a born goddess, as the source of supreme power is an old Hindu-Buddhist tradition that still continues to this day in Nepal.

According to the traditions of Vajrayana sect of Mahayana Buddhism, girls in the age-group of 4-7 year, who belong to the Sakya community, and have an ‘appropriate’ horoscope are screened on the basis of their 32 attributes of perfection, including color of eyes, shape of teeth and even voice quality. They are then taken into in a dark room to meet the deities where terrifying tantrik rituals including harried heads of ritually slaughtered goats and buffaloes are performed to determine who is the real godess usually by the one of these little girls who stays calm and collected throughout these scary ordeals. Other Hindu-Buddhist rituals that follow finally determine the real Kumari. The godess is worshipped as worshipped by Hindus and Buddhists as an incarnation of the powerful Hindu deity Taleju.

The spirit of the goddess is said to enter her body. She takes on the clothing and jewelry of her predecessor, and is given the title of Kumari Devi, who is worshipped on all religious occasions. She would now live in a place called ‘Kumari Ghar’, at Kathmandu’s Hanumandhoka palace square. This godess usually turns human at puberty - her first menstruation

The Kumari Festival is held in September during the Indra Jatra festival

The downside of this living human divinity is that Nepalese folklore holds that men who marry a former kumari will die young, and so many girls remain unmarried.To which Icheoku will like to add, but who wants to marry a godess anyway?

DESPERATE TIMES CALLS FOR DESPERATE MEASURES!

The whore of Alaska Sarah "the killer" Palin has opened her filthy mouth again rehashing a time-worn out unfounded allegations of the fundamentalist lunatics fringe of the right wingers, the Talibans of the Republican Party. These raving madmen and women are desperately trying to change the subject by distraction - just throwing out bones out there hoping that the American lap-dogs will be distracted into chasing it instead of earnestly trying to figure out, how to right all that George Bush made wrong! Instead of addressing issues very important to the American people like the tanking economy, they are shamelessly trying to link a then eight (8) years third grader, Senator Barack Obama to an alleged activism of a hippy-era front-man! But nobody knows who Senator John McCain ever met in his life that was doing one thing or the other when he (McCain) was merely eight years old? Or what he was doing at eight years old - may be at first grade being not the brightest bulb in a chandlier or whether he was even in school at all or playing hooky-pooky. Nobody ever mentions that Senator John McCain was too callous that he walked out on his fateful wife Carol McCain because she was involved in an auto-accident? (Icheoku says ask Ross Perot) According to Senator John McCain, Carol McCain was not the wife he married! (Carol was a swim-suit model before she married John McCain and then the accident). If this latest antic is not a cliff-hanger desperation at the highest echelon of the Grandpa Senator John McCain's campaign, Icheoku says, nothing else could so qualify.

The good news however is that these desperadoes are running on empty as Americans cannot be fooled again by fear-mongering air-heads whose only qualifications for wanting the presidency is that they feel entitled by a supposed heritage. To these munchkins, Icheoku says, NOT THIS TIME! A septuagenarian John McCain and beauty queen "stripper" animal killer Sarah Palin thought that their present Houdini-tactics will yield them the White-house when they are offering America more of the same as the last eight disastrous years of George Walker Bush! A beauty queen air-head who is so idiotic that she cannot even remember the name of any magazine or newspaper she has ever read. The emptiness of this Alaskan Jezebel makes George Bush's mediocrity pale in comparison, after-all she can see Russia from Alaska. This Alaskan wildlife 'decimator' Sarah "air-head" Palin would have been better turning tricks in the streets of Las Vegas as she is so pedantic that she talks street. But America if you want doom and gloom to envelope this our beloved nation like a San Francisco summer fog, then continue George Bush's government in McCain+Palin!

Investigation by a team of Icheoku researchers has revealed that the National Republican Trust Political Action Committee (PAC) in a May-day all systems go meeting agreed that their septuagenarian and beauty queen ticket is loosing the contest as fast as a whirlwind going through California wilderness and decided that the bleeding must stop! They sent out an SOS order to pull all the stops and if it means belabouring the American people with what they already knew or been inundated with, so be it! Since they do not have anything to run with they decided to run with the only thing they think they have - S M E A R ! The Republican Party are throwing the mud hoping something sticks but they have short memory otherwise they would have realized that the Clintons threw even slabs of concrete but teflon Obama brushed it off. This election is a referendum on America and her people for objectivity and not pettiness of skin pigmentation. If America passes this test, Barack Obama is the next president, if not then welcome the worst despair, frustration, doom and gloom ever witnessed in this our great nation! Whatever happens, Barrack Obama will be fine! Joe Biden will be fine! Most of their donors will be fine but the American people will not and so will not the world if the result did not reflect the trends. America will further be isolated as a country of lunatics who cannot get their act together to enthrone a vision for the future! So America ask yourself, do you want doom and gloom or do you want hope and change. Whatever you do, please do not be a participant or an accomplice to murder of hope and change we can belivev in; so be smart with your vote! Enough of these distraction! This campaign should be about selling your strong-points and let American people know why you think you should be their candidate, why they should vote for you and not why they should not vote for the other guy or coercing them through lies and intimidation into running to your corner.

In a letter addressed to his fellow dumb-Republicans, the Executive Director of the PAC, one Scott Wheeler commenced with this acerbic lines, "Never before in the history of our nation have we faced such a grave crisis: one of the most radical political figures ever to be nominated by a major party is just minutes away from becoming President of the United States". Continuing he wrote, "He promises to change America forever. If elected, he will do just that — but in ways you may not like. Remember Obama is the most liberal member of the United States Senate. If you look at Obama’s record, you will understand just how dangerous this man is. He even has terrorist friends he won’t denounce. One such man is William Ayers, a leader in the radical terrorist group the Weatherman Underground. Obama has even been endorsed by radicals such as Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan. No one can deny hearing about Obama’s relationship with the America-hating Rev. Jeremiah Wright. There should be little doubt that William Ayers and Louis Farrakhan and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright are rooting for Obama — because he is one of them. In keeping with such friends, Obama has promised to meet with radical leaders like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad without “preconditions” even though Ahmadinejad has promised to “wipe Israel off the map” and “destroy” America. Even radical Hamas terrorists have praised him. saying through one leader Ahmed Yousef that “we like Mr. Obama and we hope he will win the election”! (To which Icheoku says, but who doesn't?)

"And then there are Obama’s dangerous economic plans for America". (To which Icheoku says no economic plan can ever be more dangerous than the failed George Bush eight years economic catastrophy and that Senator John McCain promises more of the same if not worst economic doldrums and that the Alaskan wild-eyed Sarah will facilitate America's dive into this economic tundra! The raving lunatic Sarah Palin is so empty that it took her six trials just to obtain a bachelors degree, going through six colleges in the process!

"He wants to increase taxes. He is so radical he even backed driver’s licenses for illegal aliens — even though such a move would help future terrorists move freely in the United States. (Icheoku says every voting Mexicans should be queuing up en-masse to vote smart and reject such calamitous branding since they are usually the target). He is the most pro-abortion candidate in the history of the country. He opposes gun rights. He has long history of trying to deny ordinary citizens access to guns. Never forget that Obama is a Harvard educated elitist". (To this Icheoku asks when has excelling in life become an albatross? When did being dumb make a person more qualified for the presidency or is George Bush not enough embarrassment already? )

"Hillary Clinton was late in recognizing the threat Obama posed to her campaign, but once she did, her strategy worked". (In rebuttal Icheoku says that this allusion was simply a race-baiting strategy which failed and is again being tried by a campaign fast sinking in a quick-sand.)

"But in large contested states Clinton won almost every time. Why? Because when Democrats heard what Obama really stood for, they turned on him" (To which Icheoku says, not really - what happened was that people's worst part were invoked by some of the tacticians of the Hillary Clinton's campaign but at last where is that campaign today but in the land of also ran? It is called racism!)

"Make no mistake about it: If we let Americans know the truth about Obama, John McCain can win this election! (Gladly Icheoku says it is a respite that these racist bunch are the ones who are fighting for their dear political life and deploying all the dumb-bombs already tried by the failed Clintons without honing into any meaningful target because of faulty coordinates. These racists mongrels should understand that America is not stagnant but very dynamic and that we as a people has since moved so much into the future and not stuck foolishly where they thought we were and that we are prepared to accept a meaningful change we can believe in even from a person of color!
Lastly, Scott Wheeler concluded his letter with "this is why the National Republican Trust Political Action Committee is moving to implement a "shock and awe” strategy against Obama"

Icheoku says these buffoons are war-mongering urchins who like very much to indulge their hate-filled rantings with relish; these are the same set of bastards who led George Bush into the mess of Iraq and now they are deploying the bimbo of Alaska to lead their phantom "shock and awe strategy. Shameless Bastards! It shall not be well with these very few remaining bigots in a country that has since moved on. These are the myopic imbeciles who would rather a dying septuagenarian mediocre with no meaningful personal accomplishment other than a war-hero pretender who crashed his fighter plane in Vietnam and was taken into custody, be the next in rather than to tolerate a first rate bright scholar in. The good news, however is that telegraphing certain hilly-billies in the Appalachian mountain range that he is not one of us is no longer enough; the real American people have grown weary of these monstrosity known as George Bush eight years and have concluded that a McCain+Palin is not the option of the present times? Senator John McCain is MORE OF THE SAME! America needs a complete break from her George Bush sordid past and Senator John McCain will be an endorsement of the Bush eight years. This morphing George Bush, John McCain will not work for America and we shall resist this attempt at more of the same. America, please do some introspecting and soul-searching before you go to the polls this November 4th; seriously consider where the cesspool where the maladministration of George Bush has driven this country into and ask yourself will McCain be any different? In answer Icheoku says, NO! Senator John McCain is more of the same as George Bush! In this election, your vote means change we can believe in. Do not be an accomplice to elongating the bitterness and rancour that has enveloped this country during the George Bush presidency. This time around, ask yourself do you want to engage in a gear to move forward or idle it on a reverse? This November election is about the FUTURE! The past is gone and so is Senator John McCain being part of the past. WARNING: Senator John McCain is so yesterday and you do not belong there, America!

OJ SIMPSON - THEY FINALLY GOT HIM!

Orephtal James Simpson 61 was found guilty Friday October 3, 2008 of robbing two sports-memorabilia dealers at gunpoint in a Las Vegas hotel room! Sentencing scheduled for December 5, 2008 could get him life behind bars. The previously famous Hall of Fame Football star was convicted of kidnapping, armed robbery and 10 other charges for gathering up five men a year ago and storming into a room at a hotel-casino, where the group seized several game balls, plaques and photos. According to the prosecution, two of his accomplices were armed and one of them alleged that Simpson asked him to bring a gun. The verdict came 13 years to the day Simpson was acquitted in the alleged murdering of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her paramour Ronald Goldman in Los Angeles. According to OJ Simpson's defense attorney, the police officers in this case saw his present arrest as an opportunity to "get" him and avenge his acquittal to which Icheoku concurs.

According to the prosecutors, Simpson's ownership of the memorabilia was irrelevant since it was still a crime to try to take things by force. To this Icheoku rebuts and states that ownership is crucial as that intent to retrieve something belonging to him rather than rob another of his property should defeat the charge of armed robbery. OJ Simpson went into the hotel room not to rob anyone but to retrieve what he reasonably believed was his property. The imperative controlling intent heretofore is that which preceded the entry into the hotel room. The primary question here should have been, did OJ go into the room to retrieve his item or did he set out to rob someone of his thing?

Some other questions implicated in this case include: -the role of the Memorabilia dealer Thomas Riccio, who arranged and secretly recorded the hotel-room confrontation, said he netted $210,000 from the media for the tapes. Also, so soon after the Sept. 13, 2007, incident, one of the alleged victims, sports-memorabilia dealer Alfred Beardsley, was calling news outlets, and the other, Bruce Fromong, spoke of getting "big money" from the case. Finally some investigating Las Vegas police officers were heard in a recording chuckling over Simpson's misfortune and crowing that if Los Angeles couldn't "get" him, they would.

According to defense attorney Yale Galanter, being stupid and being frustrated is not being a criminal and Icheoku also agrees with this learned thought. Continuing, the learned counsel said, this case has taken on a life of its own because of Mr. Simpson's involvement. Every cooperator, every person who had a gun, every person who had an ulterior motive, every person who signed a book deal, every person who got paid money, the police, the district attorney's office, is only interested in one thing: Mr. Simpson." A motion to admit bail pending post judgment proceedings was denied by presiding Judge Jackie Glass who also refused to give the lawyers extended time to file a motion for new trial, which under Nevada law must be filed within seven days. The attorneys said they needed time to submit a voluminous record.

Icheoku says, such a day as this recalls nostalgically the legal prowess of Johnnie Cochran who would have made a mince meat of the prosecution in this case. The evidence does not weightily support the verdict. At least there was no legal armed robbery! Also the defense decision to proceed with the trial before a female judge was a mistake. A female judge no matter her level of impartiality will always have behind her mind the infamous murders of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman for which majority of Americans were very sympathetic. After-all we are all humans before our various vocations and callings so to pretend otherwise will be foolhardy! Lastly, some available evidence of prosecution's motive, especially the spoken words of the investigating police to the effect that if Los Angeles could not get him, they will in Las Vegas; the set-up and all the money made from the incident is highly suggestive of entrapment. Why these issues were not vigorously pursued is not known to Icheoku at the present time and if it means appealing to the highest court in the land, so be it, provided justice was seen to be done!

However OJ Simpson seemed to have chaperoned his present fate. OJ seems to have serious aversion for black people and would rather entrust his fate totally in the hands of white defense counsel, white prosecution, white "victims", white witnesses, all white jurors and a white judge. Who was left there to get your back, OJ? OJ Simpson married a white bimbo who he allegedly murdered but whose death he was found not guilty of. OJ Simpson is currently dating another white blonde. Now he has been convicted of all twelve counts charge and will likely be spending his golden years behind bars. Even his engaging Johnnie Cochran during the Nicole murder trial was an after-thought as OJ had retained Attorney Shapiro prior, who was pushing him to accept a plea deal before Johnnie extricated him from the jaws of the Law. OJ, Icheoku will like to ask you, what do you regret most now? Is it your abandoning your black-folks because of your success or your decision not to learn from history that you are a marked man? Many a reasonable person would have gone into a monastery, so to speak, or disappeared from sight after your ordeals and the out-cry which followed. Even Michael Jackson after his child-molestations acquittal, disappeared to a Middle Eastern Emirate until passion cooled down and since his return has kept low. But that is not for you as you are OJ Simpson - the Juice! Where has your debauchery led you today? Your fate is such a tragic one that you make the ancient Greeks green with envy - they are not alone! However since what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, have we seen the final process in this case or is the defense prepared to pursue justice up to Washington DC? So Now What? Good-luck, Mr. Tragic Fate!
