Uganda – Dr. Kizza Besigye: Naked Rogue Regime – No more pretence of multiparty system of Rule of Law.

From Col Dr. KIzza Besigye:

NAKED ROGUE REGIME- No more pretence of multiparty system or Rule of Law:

This weekend (Friday and Saturday 28th/29th March 2014), I planned to join the Political Party and Civil Society leaders in Kabale and Kasese to launch the “Call for Free and Fair Elections Now”.

After what happened in Mbale and Soroti last weekend and the Statements that were being made by the “Police” Chiefs in Kampala, Kabale and Kasese during the week, I knew that we would be facing stiff challenges in our tasks.

I suspected that I would be blocked en-route to Kabale; so, I first evaded the 24/7 police surveillance around me and drove to Kabale while my “guards” were vigilantly guarding a house in Kampala, where they expected me to be.

At about 8 pm (Thursday), we passed by two Police Patrol Vehicles about 30 kms to Kabale. Soon, it became clear that they were chasing after us and our driver (Mr. Fred Kato) did the needful to keep ahead of them. As we entered Kabale town, the patrol vehicles were quite close behind us. We drove very first up the hill overlooking the town centre and were able to elude our pursuers.

We had already organised a “hideout” to stay overnight and managed to get there without being noticed. As we settled in to have a much-needed meal, we received the news of our colleagues being evicted by “Police” from a radio talk-show.

FDC President, Maj Gen (rtd) Mugisha Muntu and Bishop (rtd) Zac Niringiye had been invited to radio Voice of Kigezi (VOK) to discuss the electoral reforms we intended to launch and other political issues.

By the time of the talk-show, it was clear that the “Police” was up to no good. Heavily armed policemen had surrounded all the 3 FM stations in Kabale town. I understand that Zac and Muntu had to use creative means to get into the VOK unnoticed.

Twenty minutes into the program, the Kabale District Police Commander (DPC) Bosco Arop stormed into the Station with his forces and ordered the program to close immediately and the visitors to leave at once! The host of the program had no choice but to close the program and to ask their visitors to leave as ordered.

I also learnt that a public lecture that was to be delivered by Bishop Zac Niringiye to students of Kabale University on Thursday 27th March was unceremoniously stopped. The Regional Police Commander (RPC), the DPC, the DISO and a heavily armed police squad had arrived at the University shortly before the lecture was due to start and ordered the Vice Chancellor to call it off.

On the same Thursday, the “Police” ordered the owner of the venue booked for our Friday meeting to cancel the booking. Rev Fr Gaetano Tibanyenda (Parish Priest of Kitanga Catholic Parish) and his organising team quickly secured another venue at a downtown hotel.

Vehicle and foot police patrols were reported all over Kabale municipality throughout Thursday night. To the foot policemen’s anguish, a very heavy downpour of rain started at about 5.30am and continued throughout the morning and early afternoon.

As I settled in my Kabale “hideout”, it was clear that we would not be able to hold our meeting as planned. I did not emerge from my “hideout” until about 2 pm, the time of our planned meeting. I was able to reach the venue, the Hill Top Hotel without being noticed.

Expectedly, “riot policemen” had surrounded the Hotel. A crowd of people who had gathered for the meeting was throwing curses at the policemen. Rev Fr Gaetano and Gen Mugisha Muntu were standing by the entrance of the Hotel.

I waved to the crowd through the sunroof; triggering frenzied police activity around us. The notorious police van that permanently tails me had, apparently arrived early in the morning. It’s goons were on rampage around us; trying to clear the gathered people and to force us to leave. The goons were pepper-spraying into any possible opening to our locked vehicle’s cabin.

Gen Muntu informed me that before we arrived, they had told the people to disperse and return to their chores since the police had blocked our meeting. However, a large crowd was still gathered there and we chose to remain there too.

After a while, a recovery vehicle (breakdown) was brought to tow my vehicle away. That’s when we decided to leave the venue and proceed to my home in Rukungiri, about 115 km north of Kabale. The Police van and two patrol vehicles pursued us.

At Kisiizi, midway between Kabale and Rukungiri, we found a large market, where people cheered us wildly and about 20 boda-bodas followed us hooting and cheering.

Shortly after Kisizi Hospital, the police van overtook us and blocked the road. It’s occupants jumped out with batons and guns and viciously attacked the boda-bodas. Others tried to break into our vehicle. We drove through the bush; bypassing the van and speeding onto Rukungiri. I understand some of the boda-bodas were badly injured and are being treated at Kisizi Hospital.

Shortly after getting to my Rukungiri home, the police van arrived with three patrol vehicles (re-enforced by Rukungiri Police) and policemen were deployed all around the home.

It was at this point that I learnt of the arrest of Gen Mugisha Muntu and Rev Fr Gaetano. They were apparently arrested shortly after we left Kabale. They were briefly detained at Kabale Police Station, and then transferred to Ntungamo Police Station (80 km) North East of Kabale. Later in the evening, they were released without any charge.

While in Rukungiri last night, I was informed by our leaders in Kasese (our next stop after Kabale) that police had succeeded in intimidating the owner of booked venue to cancel the booking. It had become difficult to secure another booking, for the same reason. Our meeting was being postponed for week to reorganise.

In spite of this, “Police” blocked DP President General, Mr Norbert Mao, and other DP leaders (who were already on the way to Kasese), at Katunguru brigde. DPC of Kasese informed them that he had instructions not to allow them beyond that point. He ordered them to return to Kampla.

As all this was going on, the High Court in Kampala was once again giving a ruling re-stating that Ssalongo Elias Lukwago was still the Lord Mayor of Kampala. There had been two other similar ruling on the same issue.
The Judge ordered a stop of the elections the Electoral Commission was purporting to organise to fill the office of Lord Mayor. The Judge castigated the Attorney General and Minister for Kampala for contempt of court. We all know that in spite of all this, Mayor Lukwago will not be entering his office because soldiers to stop him from doing so surround it.

The Museveni/ NRM regime has worked hard over the last 28 years to manufacture covers for their brand of military dictatorship. All covers are now gone. I never cease to be amazed by the similarity of the “NRM revolution” and the revolution of George Orwell’s Animal Farm.

In the end, “Animal Farm” was re-named “Manor Farm”; Napolean (the pig), the head of the Animal revolution was wining, dining and playing cards with Mr. Pilkington (man of Foxwood farm). The Animals that carried out the revolution had long been marginalised and terrorised beyond what their original master (Mr. Jones) did.

Peeping through the window, the Animals could no longer see the difference between the Napoleon or the other pigs, and their former masters, the men. I am sure that if all the former dictators were back in State House, dining with Mr. Museveni, we would not tell who was who!

The rogue regime is now as naked as they come. Let’s be under no illusion, we must stand together again and eject all the pigs and the Pilkingtons. This time, we must keep our eyes open and defend the revolution.
WE SHALL OVERCOME!!

Lord Mayor of Kampala’s Erias Lukwago – Bond Paper! of 19. March of 2014 (A must read!).

Lukwago

Charged Preventive arrest! Preventive from themself or other people, we don’t know! Do you? That isn’t new for either Lord Mayor Lukwago of Kampala or Dr. Kizza Besigye of the FDC. But the most sad thing is the spelling on ‘No Surity’ – (State): Whatever that means! Can somebody please tell or those the brothers who arrested the Mayor some language lesson? They supposed to know something right=  The sad part of it is that I am sure by when I am adressing this, the NRM and KCC is sure fixing up a new warrent for Lukwago! Peace.

What gives? (Latest thoughts of the saga between Ukraine and Russia)

While we all should enjoy the time we living in, it’s hard to sometimes see the fix. Fixing the issues and making the world a better place. Crimean peninsula is now official from the Russian side, a separate entity – which is not a part of Ukraine anymore. Wesley Snipes didn’t show up. The western reaction to it all is meager economic sanctions on the top leaders of the Russian regime. Ukraine is on their side in the trenches and hoping for an outcome to their sovereignty as a single nation. They has been trespassed over the border with arms and taken control over their territory.

Here we are in point where the aggression from Moscow is at final position and carving the map of Europe again. Russia and Vladimir Putin the President is showing his hand. Not caring about what world thinks of his actions. Barrack Obama and David Cameroon have acted but softly… The same has the Norwegian and other Scandinavian countries. The Polish fears with such a close tie to the Russian Federation that they might act, the same does the Baltic nations. Surprisingly, the NATO is proving some moves with sending planes to Poland. All the military co-operation which was scheduled between Russia and the western countries has shut that down. The other complications are simply closing the deals and agreements between them. So all the barriers that has been driven down since the cold-war is now crumbling. Western hemisphere is closing the gates building up shadow walls, as long it’s not hurting their economies, since that is unstable still after the economic crash of 2008. That has made a difference and also connected the world. The outsourcing and the modern day industry is now in another stage.

Gazproom is one of the big companies who supply Europe with Gas. Not only giving money to Schalke04 and also Champions League. We’ll all going to see that tonight before the match between Manchester United – Olympiacos on Old Trafford. We all know that the Oligarcs of Russia is spending the leftover in London and especially in “the City”.

We can eat our chips and I wonder about the next move of both the western hemisphere and the Russia. So here we are. What that will bust first and the reactions. What is the next move of Russians? That is the difference then that the Presidential aid of Russia Vladislav Surkov will only main thing is about Tupac and few other celebrities that he don’t need to access to the country to listen to. So there we have it. The meager response and economic sanctions isn’t working if that’s the ones actions we can expect. Then I can say: “that it won’t matter”. Even though we wish differently, the end scenario is that Crimea will end up in Russia. Russia can VETO in the United Nation’s Security Council so the issues is server. UN can’t make a fuss or stress anything because of how the organization is built up!

The NATO and the western hemisphere are stuck. They have already showed the force of the small sanctions given to them. Putin knew this was coming. He’s a sly man who thinks and now that an actions has a chain reaction. Obama and Cameroon isn’t doing much. Angela Merkel isn’t really acting. EU and Ashton aren’t moving in a big way either!

This is the way it is. Ukraine is weak after the turmoil. Ukraine has been through the madness of revolution and kicking the president out of his office for the second time in his career. Russia is playing the big man yet again. It did so in Georgia in 2008. This time they have actually soon annexed it (Crimea). Which entails a lot, where do we go from here? How does this change the world as we know it?

We need some strong remedy over here. So before we go back ancient ways and medieval on ourselves because well, Russia isn’t playing ball. Neither of us know how this is going or where it’s ending up. Ukraine… isn’t up to parts with Russia, not military and economic power. Secondly the bills and tab that Russia has on gas bill was the playing card for this game. We can just see where it goes and how this story ends. Because the end usually has to break even.

There is big stakes on table, how the pot will be squeezed and usually in this game – nobody really wins and those who take the fall usually are the innocent loses their ground. And the winner usually really doesn’t has much to show for it, because of the sense of victory is a weak puzzle. The other loosing part of the tale never gets told and the innocent dies silently like it always does. Because heck! Nobody really cares, and if they do, their microphone are to little, their tv-station has to small of a base or that the newspaper isn’t powerful enough if it doesn’t have naked chicks on page 3-4 and an interview of a porn-star in the middle of the business section!

I know that the last remark wasn’t friendly, but what gives?

Peace!

North Korean victories over USA(they claim and other democratic suggestion from the DPRK-KCNA)

Spokesman for U.S. State Department Assailed for His Invectives against Election in DPRK

Pyongyang, March 13 (KCNA) — The spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry gave the following answer to a question put by KCNA on Thursday as regards the invectives let loose by the spokesman for the U.S. State Department against the election of the deputies to the Supreme People’s Assembly (SPA) of the DPRK: As already reported, the election of the deputies to the 13th SPA successfully held on Mar. 9 in the DPRK strikingly demonstrated the absolute support, deep trust and indomitable will of the service personnel and people of the DPRK to remain single-mindedly loyal to the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, holding him in high esteem as the unitary center of the unity and leadership. All its citizens of the DPRK took part in the election to consolidate as firm as a rock the people’s power chosen by themselves, fully enjoying their rights as the genuine masters of the state and society, and voted for the candidates with loyalty and patriotism. The spokesman for the U.S. State Department was so impudent to say that there is no democracy as regards the election of deputies to the SPA. This is nothing but a ridiculous jargon of those who can not understand the advantageous election system of the DPRK as they are engrained with repugnance toward the Korean-style socialist system. The U.S. had better feel ashamed of the American-style election which decides everything with fraud and swindle and its dollar-almighty election system in which a duck on a pond can be a president if it has money, and mind its own affairs before impudently finding fault with others. No matter how desperately the U.S. may try to slander the social system of the DPRK and pull it down, its single-minded unity will be further consolidated and Korean-style socialism centered on the popular masses will emerge victorious.

My thoughts on the press-release:  

This memo or press-release from KCNA is iconic. It’s a classic. You should print it and put into a glass-frame. That there is tension between the Democratic People’s Republic of Korean (DPRK) and the United States of America (USA). That the USA is slamming North Korea’s voting practices shouldn’t come as a surprise to anybody. But that DPRK is saying that the people choose and voted for the candidates, that the Supreme People’s Assembly (SPA) is literary picked by them, one candidate in each districted, gotten handpicked by the party, then all people of the republic told to vote for them. That is sure some kind of loyalty, patriotism it’s not because well, I am sure there a capital punishment if you are not voting, kind like the ones in Greece where you are fined for not showing up. But, I am not talking about Greece today, I am talking about DPRK and USA. That USA spokesman doesn’t understand the North Korean democratic model isn’t the truth. Not that USA has a clean model and could get some scrutiny. The issue that it’s comes from North Korea. Another funny fact calling it ridicules jargon from the spokesman. Then claiming the money controlled and fueled democratic model of USA. Which has some truth behind it – because if you’re a serious candidate you need funding on high level of corporate mega giants to solve the monies issue of a campaign. So the KCNA is telling a certain truth, but they are not the right folks to discuss it. So that the USA is “slandering” the “social system” of North Korea shouldn’t be a big talking point of any election model or refined people’s choice of leaders. It’s a third generation Head Chief, El Presidente or the Head Narrow-minded in Charage(HNIC). Kim Jung-Un is far from a democratic elected president of his republic. Neither what his press agency comments and says it’s still not switches the facts on the ground. That KCNA is talking about the single-minded unity (then I’m thinking about not democratic societies because they have a unity based on fear) and about Korean-Style socialism (back to the first one with the fear based society). That USA doesn’t have total unity is just looking at the different bases of Republican Party and also the Democratic Party, the minor ones and a few independent ones who doesn’t get enough credit by anybody for trying to beat the two parties who run the shinding called Washington, White House and Capitol Hill. So here we are at the issue of the SPA and résumé of Capitol Hill or the Congress. When KCNA will claim the North Korean will win and be “victorious”, I got to be honest that is far-fetched. USA isn’t the cornerstone of any democracy, but calling North Korean that would be insulting to Plato, Archimedes, Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. I think Wesley Snipes has to learn them a lesson, maybe Dolph Lundgren can show some skills. Peace.

The world needs Wesley Snipes, NOW!

This is an emergency. Its total mayhem out there! Can’t you see? We need somebody to save us. John Kerry and Barrack Obama don’t have the manpower. William Hague in UK needs somebody with strength to support the effort of the British. President Vladimir Putin doesn’t need Wesley Snipes: he just need another PR strategy that isn’t written by Violator Management. The press conference from Moscow was a charade. Wesley Snipes, the Central African Republic needs you! Might even to secure safe passage before the growing food crisis that is coming in the DRC. We need you! NOW!

There supposed to be no Russian forces in Crimean peninsula. The issues on Belbek Air Force base in closed and Ukraine forces don’t get allowed in it. So in that sense there got to be some Russian Forces in the area and all the other things that has happen during recent hours. Should tell us one thing: We need Wesley! Not Sneijder in Galatasaray, the Snipes. The great man who is the New Jack! We need him. And that is NOW!

The Ukraine and Russia issue is a big one. This is not a war game playing RISK. It’s real life shit! Therefore we need Wesley Snipes the blade, the hero to save the day! NOW!

It’s crazy. The diplomacy is a slow machine in the making. Kind like the chemistry between Ross and Rachel it takes off to late and then goes into flames!

I know the godly voice of Morgan Freeman sure could have made the world a better place. We need Vladimir Putin sitting a safe seat on the one side of the table. Then the new President of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov on the opposite side. In between them Wesley Snipes with his dialog and hardheaded looks. Will make them weep and might even shake hands. Gazprom will surely shut up and make them get closer. I know this is cheap shot. But what can’t Snipes sort out with his twitching eyes.

I am sure the navies of the world will turn into circles and all hurricanes will stop. Snow will unfreeze and fall as water(I know some of you guys call that rain – good for you!). Chuck Norris will make jumping jacks so that over the Rockies has a earthquake cracking. This is in the meanwhile Pharrell is extremely ‘happy’ and wish to ‘get lucky’.

We need Wesley Snipes! We need something! Not a beer or coke. We need Wesley Snipes. John Kerry needs stronger manpower then what he is having. Barrack Obama getting pushed from every angle. Angela Merkel is too confined with export of German industry products to the Federation. I say Snipes! We all should say: Snipes! Come to the rescue: NOW!

We all know: Guns, Oil and Drug – the unofficial G.O.D, the unholy trinity that makes changes to the world. Wesley Snipes! In the middle of that we have the situation. A situation that is clearly hard hitting. Where certain two elements of is already in play. Gazprom is pushing Ukraine(Its gas but simillar to Oil). The Guns is in use with the army of Ukraine and Russia is having issues in Crimean peninsula.

Wesley Snipes! We need you! Come to the rescue! A cup of coffee or a cup of tea won’t solve crap. President Museveni could make another Rap. But that is for another day! We need Snipes and that NOW!

So before the madness gets to another level. Please just show up with your sunglasses and brush this crisis away! Now!
