Cry havoc: Kanye creates more fuzz than actual news!

trumpkanye-1481643069-640x427

This are one of these days where I see more articles about the meeting between President-Elect Donald J. Trump at the Trump Tower with the rapper Kanye West. What should be news that more and more people connected with either Big-Oil like the Standard Oil babies ExxonMobile, grand wizards of the economy, hedge fund infused billionaires and others are packing their offices to find ways of ravaging the faucets and gooses, while the workers are tripping and wonder what they voted in.

The American People been duped by a sales-man with such vigour and bravado that he claimed Hillary Clinton’s connection to the big business and Wall Street; while him two seconds and near the swearing-in are handpicking more Goldman Sachs officials than fish in a barrel.

With this in mind the visit of Kanye West at the Trump Tower is just a suggestion, from the man in 2011 on ‘Watch the Throne’ LP on the song ‘New Day’ wrote:

“And I’ll never let my son have an ego

He’ll be nice to everyone, wherever we go

I mean I might even make him be Republican

So everybody know he love white people”

Therefore, the truth of the matter is that this is not really a thing. If so, this is made-up to undermine the key aspects in the wind. The Goldman, the swamp swirling around the nest and dropping loads of golden eggs for the big business to use.

That the cabinet either filled with the ones that was to be cleared out of Washington D.C. or the populist agenda with men like Jeff Sessions and Stephen Bannon whose despicable worldview can destroy any kind of men has belief in decency left in the American Experience. Therefore, the scenery of this Alt-Right, White Supremacist in power should not overshadow the greedy-guts that are nominees for seriously grand opportunities.

Where bankers, where big industrialist and self-loathing interests combined with the infused tolerance for business over policy can conquer the republic’s works. As the lax-tax and corporate loopholes will be covered into a level where it isn’t a few bigger whole like a Swiss-Cheese, instead more like common water leaks like from pipes connected to the faucets.

The faucet is the sales-man on the top, the President-Elect Trump that gives all the donors of the Republican Party a feast, also the men and woman who can offer something in return; so the nomination is a future-buy in for a coming return on investment. The portfolio is more of government funds and taxes together with the estimated earnings on foreign affairs as the kickbacks through the political funded monies can return to the bankers and the industries that offered their nominees.

So we shouldn’t worry about Kanye is hanging out with the President-Elect, when the view of the man and woman handpicked to secure the coffers, misuse the immigrants as scarecrows for their economic policies to enrich themselves and their top 1 %, while leaving leaves and empty promises behind.

Therefore, American people be proud of you and yours have created! This is what you will become and what that is ahead, the President-Elect is surely going to have a blast and you as the citizen of the grand Republic going to left behind with the bill. Pay it either directly or to the rich-men is coffers or as a benefit for what you already had.

Certainly these noblemen who is handpicked by the Trump isn’t going to let you off the hook easily, they are in to cash-in or they are nominated to departments they back-in the day didn’t believe in like Ben Carson or Rick Perry. However, when they get a government position it’s all smiles and glory, even if they got no clue about the organization or its mission. Because that is not needed, because the President-Elect does not know what he is entitled to do either.

We can grin and wonder why Trump meet with Kanye, other than a publicity stunt of some kind, as the Republican blasted Obama for meeting Common at the White House, but no one is screaming vicious when Trump met with Kanye, since that is just so COOL!

Well, the reality is that the Republican party can stick it, for the pain and suffering they will give their own in the will of little government, little tax and massive army, the taxation policies as well as the prospects of Alt-Right policies to make enemies out of neighbours who are citizens as much the next one. Certainly, the Trump administration got work ahead, not only with themselves, but also with the Republic it will run. Peace.

Mitt brev til Stortingets Presidentskap og Stortingsrepresentanter vedrørende deres nye etterlønn!

stortinget

Kjære Presidentskap og Stortingsrepresentanter!

Dere er ærbødige mennesker som representerer meg og mine medborgere. Dere i stortinget skal representere meg og de verdier vi har, hjelpe oss å ta avgjørelser og legge tilrette for en bedre fremtid for det Norske kongeriket.

Vi i kongeriket er skamfulle over dere ettersom dere setter krav til oss, dere gir oss krav til om vi skal få dagpenger, arbeidsledighetstrygd og alle andre reguleringer rundt vårt hverdagsliv. Vi medborgere lever etter de reguleringer og de føringer dere setter til oss om det er  minstepensjon eller  tilleggskrav vi trenger for å  få ytelser fra staten. Staten har rett til å sette krav til oss for at vi skal kunne får å kunne rettigheter som borgere og medarbeider i både private næringsliv og ansatte i staten.

Vi har diverse regelverk og som er passe komplisert som både gir og tar for en borger på arbeidsmarkedet eller for å trygd i mellom arbeid. At de fleste medborgere må gå i mellom jobber eller flytter å må vente på nytt arbeid. Arbeidsledige kan få dagpenger inntil 104 uker og disse dagpengene blir avgjort på totale inntjent inntekt over 3 år. Derfor er det varierende summer som blir gitt til de som trenger dagpenger i riket. Noe som ikke er automatisk.

Forskjellen er når du er stortingsrepresentant, så representerer du disse som sliter med å få jobb og skal legge tilrette for at vi kommer oss i arbeid. Derfor er det frustrerende å lese dette som ble sagt i Stortingssalen fra Arve Kambe (Høyre):

«For en stortingsrepresentant er det ikke to år med dagpenger – det er først tre måneder med full godtgjørelse, så er det tolv måneder med 66 pst. godtgjørelse. Nå ønsker flertallet i Stortinget – minus Høyre og SV – at den totredjedelen skal kunne gjelde for to år, mens bakteppet i Rogaland, der jeg kommer fra nå, er at jeg blir nedringt av folk som begynner å nærme seg 104 uker uten jobb. Regelverket som et enstemmig storting har satt, er at har man ikke jobb etter 104 uker, faller man ut av dagpengesystemet» (Stortinget – Møte mandag den 12. desember 2016 (under arbeid), link: https://www.stortinget.no/no/Saker-og-publikasjoner/Publikasjoner/Referater/Stortinget/2016-2017/refs-201617-12-12?m=8).

Fordi den nye reguleringen for Stortingsrepresentanter som ble vedtatt i går var dette:

«§ 16. Etterlønn

Stortingsrepresentanter og faste vararepresentanter som etter valg ikke fortsetter på Stortinget, kan etter søknad til Stortingets presidentskap tilstås etterlønn for inntil tolv måneder etter opphør av fratredelsesytelse. I særlige tilfeller kan etterlønn innvilges i inntil 24 måneder. Etterlønn utgjør 66 prosent av godtgjørelsen etter § 3 første ledd andre punktum. Tilleggsgodtgjørelse etter § 5, eller forhøyet godtgjørelse til stortingspresidenten etter § 3 første ledd første punktum, inngår ikke i grunnlaget for etterlønn. Etterlønn er forbeholdt mottakere som kan dokumentere at de er aktivt arbeidssøkende eller gjennomfører relevant kompetanseheving. Stortingets presidentskap gir nærmere retningslinjer om etterlønn» (Innst. 51 L (2016–2017) Innstilling til Stortinget fra Stortingets presidentskap, 12.12.2016).

Så den nye innstillingen til Stortinget etter igår viser at det nå skal bli bedre å være Stortingsrepresentant, at de som er våres representanter skal få fallskjerm til seg selv, mens vi medborgere blir fortalt at vi skal be om nøysomme tillegg på lønnen ved lønnsoppgjør. Lønnsoppgjør pleier å gi små eller mindre tillegg på lønnen. Forskjellen er at Stortingsrepresentantene med valget i går gav seg selv mulighet til å ha 24 måneder med god lønn og betalt av oss skattebetalere. Stortingetspresidentskap har gitt seg selv mellom 102-104 uker med etterlønn. Noe en ordinær arbeider ikke ville fått om de skulle gå i mellom arbeidsgivere eller ble arbeidsledig. Veldig sjeldent unntatt Daglig Ledere for større foretak som får svære sluttepakker, resten av oss får lite eller intet om vi bytter jobb. Vi får ikke penger i mellom venting mellom arbeidsgivere. Vi vil gå opp til 4 uker eller lengre om ikke all dokumentasjon er levert til NAV.

Så når vi som ordinære medborgere må jobbe i dette systemet, hvorfor skal Stortingsrepresentanter får en kjempe gull-pakke når befolkningen eller de i Hedmark ville ha inn noen andre enn for eksempel: «en Arbeiderparti representanten som ikke har levert annet enn fagre ord i hele forrige periode». Derfor burde den stortingsrepresentanten som har erfaring fra tidligere og i statens høyeste organ klare å finne seg arbeid. Dette burde skje ettersom vi har sett hvordan stortingsrepresentanter blir plukket opp til lederverv, styreverv, tenketanker og konsulentjobber. Derfor tviler jeg på at de trenger å vente lenge på hyre. Det er ikke akkurat som tidligere lagerarbeider eller hatt første jobben på Rema som søker ny stilling. Dette er reelle mennesker som er relativt dyktige og derfor burde ikke trenge 66% av Stortingsrepresentant lønn i 2 år!

Dette er grådighet når vi medborgere blir fortalt til stadighet at vi skal tenke skjønn og nøysomhet med våres egne lønnsbehov ettersom dere gir dere selv enorme fordeler. Dette er demotiverende og dere ligner på parlamentarikere i andre land som gir selv rikdom, mens deres egne borgere sliter. Vil dere være like dem? Er det målsettingen å sikre deres rikdom? Er det derfor dere vil representere oss for å sikre dere selv og ikke utvikle Norge?

Som statsborger, som politisk interessert, en som bryr seg om de valg våre politikere tar. Er dette ydmykende og ikke positivt. Det er ikke riktig. Dette er feil og misvisende ettersom Stortinget og regjeringen i budsjettet for neste år ber om mer kutt i Helse Norge, mens representantene ser seg selv fore. Håper de selv må ligge i gangene på sykehuset istedenfor på enerom slik at de selv kan se hva skjer når en sparer til kniven på nødvendige helsetjenester. Fordi denne lønnsøkning og etterlønn er motstridene mot de krav og reguleringer vi medborgere får.

Vi fortjener bedre representanter som ikke er grådige og nidkjære som de vi har nå. De ser seg selv, men ikke oss. De ser sin egne lønningspose, men ikke vår. Det er på tide at dere våkner opp av deres rike søvn. Håper at dere tenker på de krav dere setter på oss skattebetalere, vi som skaffer dere midler til å være representanter. Peace.

The rise of #ThisFlag Movement Pastor Evan Mawarire: the Civil Rights Activist and leader that Zimbabwe and the world needs right now!

Evan Mawarire 13.07.2016

Pastor Evan Mawarire, the Zimbabwean Civil Rights leader who started wearing the Zimbabwean Flag and called for demonstrations wearing it in public. The Zimbabwean Flag became a tool of resistance and defiance of the Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (Zanu-PF), the ruling regime that has been in power since 1980 and under the current President Robert Mugabe.

Robert Mugabe reign started hopeful, but has turned sour over time. President Mugabe has forgotten his struggle is keener on buying jewellery for his wife than caring about his citizens. Therefore the rise of men and civil rights activists like Evan Mawarire is extremely important to change the republic. A republic that has become corrupt cronyism and where the foundations are shaking; where the police brutality and impunity runs rapid. Where massive amount of citizens are living in the diaspora and flee to live in shacks in South Africa.

This is the legacy that is left behind after decades under the President Mugabe, the real change never came, only that that the Zanu-PF elite got to eat and takeover lands from the inherent former colonial tribes and given that away to Zanu-PF elites and generals. So this has shackled the production of a former breadbasket, as the El Nino even made the lacking foods worse. The drought together with the lacking agricultural policies made the former proud farmer nation into a nation who needs help to feed it; so the independent nation needs more help than before existence of Mugabe Administration.

The thieving of export funds together with the problematic inflations, as well as faltering currency policies that lead to the depleted economy, as well as International Monetary Fund and World Bank put sanctions or suspended needed loans to the Zanu-PF government. The Zanu-PF has used the funds on their own and had famous parties for the President and his family. As well as the Vice-President putting hotel bills on the government as he lived over 1,5 year at hotel in Harere and sponging of the government coffers.

With the knowledge of this, with the lacking medication on the hospital, the lacking payments of salaries to the civil servants and others proves the lack of governance. The allocations and misuse of funds is rampant as the Zanu-PF elite rides in expensive imported SUVs while the common-man cannot get out enough funds at the ATMs to pay their rent or pay for food suppliers at the market.

In this context came the monumental rise of a simple man, not a man of wealth or kin of former renegades against the colonial Ian Smith Government. Evan Mawarire was close to nobody before 2016 and #ThisFlag Movement. He wasn’t somebody who was well-known. Still, his cause through peaceful means became too much for the government to handle. Therefore they abducted him and as the whole day in Court happen with a dozens of the lawyers who worked Pro-Bono for the man, because they saw his cause and his rise. Pastor Mawarire, we’re a citizen and an outspoken one, who showed no fear for the repression of the Zanu-PF. That because it seems like a genuine cause and heart for his nation. The Republic that birth him and raised him, he wanted a republic with a government that would represent the people and not just bow-down and bend knees for Mugabe.

That is what it is now. The Zimbabwean nation with their mismanaged bond-notes who are another tactic of the Zanu-PF to gain spoils on loans and trying to get more out of the foreign currency in the nation. So the Zimbabwe Reserve Bank together with the President Mugabe hustling more out the poverty with the transaction of  loaning a fortune and then exchanging the foreign currency surplus to the elites. White-washing the bond-notes at the same time; a successful receipt to destroying faith in monies and getting a new 2008 crash-course in hyper-inflation; something the Zanu-PF under Mugabe has created before!

zimbabwe-inflation-chart-june-17-2016

 

So the #Tajamuka, #NotoBondNotes and #ThisFlag together with the rising men and woman who acts against Mugabe and his regime are currently rising with 2016 year coming to the end. Evan Mawarire is a symbol, not only a man who sadly had to flee to United States after the short trial where the public waited for him to released. They proved the people power over a corrupt crony government with draconian laws and a security apparatus that takes the freedom, liberty and opportunity away from the citizens.

The Zanu-PF under Mugabe isn’t giving the Zimbabwean people hope, he is destroying while eating the spoils, while running away from his killings and his damaging rhetoric that has barricaded himself and left him alone. The ones that are loyal to Mugabe isn’t there because the love him, but they love the brown envelopes. There isn’t a policy or political framework that can build the nation or change the pattern of destruction under Mugabe. He has only his own will, which he believes is the will of the Zimbabweans.

If it we’re so, the people wouldn’t felt touch and felt the need for Pastor Evan Mawarire, there wouldn’t be a unknown pastor who turned civil rights activist who would make the headlines, it would been men like Morgan Tsvangirai and Acie Lumumba should be in charge, they should blaze the winds of change. Tsvangirai under the Movement for Democratic Change that had a popular rise a decade ago and nearly toppled the Mugabe regime. The current youth leader and populist Acie Lumumba his VIVA Zimbabwe we’re supposed to garn support, but it doesn’t. Their ties with Mugabe and history are making people sceptical of their will to change the cronyism.

Zim Evan This Flag

Zimbabwe needs people like Evan Mawarire, the world needs people like him and that has faith in peaceful disobedience against greedy oppressive regimes. Mawarire needs Zimbabweans and the world needs to support his cause for peaceful change. Mugabe isn’t automatically entitled to be president, than he is a Zimbabwean King. Kings are entitled to their role as leaders of their people and to be monarchs. But a President is elected to represent the people and ones in the dominion that the President has the power to rule, because the hand over that power to the person through elections or other functions that make it just. That hasn’t happened in Zimbabwe.

The people in Zimbabwe deserve a government that represent them and work for their will, not being in Harare to earn on the public coffers and earn on loyalty to Executive Mugabe. So the rise of a man like Mawarire is bound to happen because of the injustice happening time and time again. Too many people and their stories dwindle away, so many people have suffered while the rich has eaten, as they have built mansions and owning land instead of building institutions and invested in the people.

Charge Against Evan Mawarire

#ThisFlag and Evan Mawarire are the signs of hope, the signs of people wanting justice and development for their nation. That would be well deserved, the liberation from the Ian Smith regime wasn’t to make sure the liberators could eat the spoils, but actually the free-men of Zimbabwe could live free and earning a proper living for their work. That is dream right now, the rights are only for the entitled in the Zanu-PF the others has to beg. The justice is of two nations, the ones living in the elite and the rest. It’s the rest that needs men and woman like Mawarire, the world need people like him to address the concerns of people in need and who deemed poverty with no voice for their concerns. They are the ones that needs help and needs a government working for them. Instead they are keener on fixing the riches for the elite and finding new ways of short-conning the population. So the Mawarire has to rise-up and say “enough is enough” the Zanu-PF has used their time and taken the people for granted; the Zanu-PF doesn’t deserve anymore, they have used their time and spent it unwisely. Mugabe forgotten his struggle and his riches has blinded him from the cause that lead him to power.

Therefore he had to call out Mawarire and claiming his cause we’re useless. He was hurt that one of his citizens called him out and acted against him. Mugabe made this way and now have to see what he has made, but his stubborn acts of ignorance, his will of keeping enriching himself, is the reason for the rise of the Pastor. The Pastor wouldn’t be anybody if it wasn’t for the oppressive and brutal regime. The regime of Mugabe has lost their way and lost the reason for existing… Peace.
