Valg 2017: Jeg håper på en forandring, mer felleskap og medmenneskelighet!

Som tidligere Venstre-Medlem og aktiv i politikk der. En som følger med og bryr seg. Så håper jeg på forandring! Jeg kan ikke se støtte-partier som gir makt til Fremskrittspartiet. Derfor for første gang i min tid, at jeg ikke har stemt borgerlig eller Venstre. Det samme har min mor (hun også alltid stemt borgerlig) og det var et sjokk, men hyggelig overraskelse. Fordi det gir meg håp for fremtiden.

Vanligvis jeg gått automatisk inn i stemme-lokalet, krysset ut de mest liberale og anti-kongedømme representantene i Venstre. For så å levere stemmen i urnen. Det skjedde ikke i år. Jeg gjorde noe annerledes. Stemte sosialistisk. Noe som ville vært helt fjernt for ti år siden og enda mer bakstrevers for 15 år siden.

Men, slik har det gått og blitt, at det eneste jeg kunne gjøre var å stemme sosialistisk og ikke borgerlig. Det var underlig, men føltes rett. Jeg kunne ikke satse på Venstre, ei heller Kristelig Folkeparti. Begge partiene vil om mulighet støtte FrP i regjeringen. Det er for meg forkastelig og jeg har sett hva dette gjort. De har gjort det vanskeligere med vilje for familiegjenforening, selv om stortingsvedtak i Juni 2016, sa dette skulle oppmykes. Så må alle som søker følge deres krav fra Mai 2016. Noe som er urimelig. Siden dette er mot flertallet som VAR i stortinget. Når man spiller slikt politisk spill med menneskeliv og deres hverdag. Da er det ikke for «folk flest», da er det «urimeligheten først, deretter skattelette».

Derfor kunne jeg ikke og vil ikke. Selv om det er mye som er feil med sosialistene, noe av grunnene til jeg ikke har stemt de før. Også grunner til jeg ikke har vært medlem eller aktiv der. Så har de så mye godt for felleskapet og felles rettigheter. At man kan gi slipp på noen av de frynsegodene det borgerlige vil gi. Man må oftest ofre noe, for å få noe annet. Hvis man drikker kaffe, klarer men ikke kose seg med kopp te. Du må enten drikke det ene eller det andre.

Dagen i dag, vil jeg følge i spenning. Se hva slags reaksjoner som er der ute etter 4 år med de blå-blå. Om Erna Solberg og hennes «tro på Norge» vil vekke interesse, om skattelette og anti-innvandringspartiet FrP med Siv Jensen og Listhaug vil klamre seg til makten, en gang til. Eller om det nok protest stemmer til at dette sakker akterut. Vi kan håpe. Vi kan håpe og jeg håper Venstre faller under sperregrensen. Dette fordi de har solgt seg selv for å være støtteparti til denne regjeringen. Som sendte mindreårige asylsøkere til Somalia og Afghanistan. De boret kanskje ikke etter olje i Vesterålen, Lofoten og Senja. Men sannelig, de borte hål i medmenneskeligheten og anstendigheten i forhold til sine medborgere. Noe som aldri skulle vært akseptabelt.

Jeg håper KrF får kjenne pisken, ikke fordi jeg ønsker dem vondt, men fordi de støttet og solgte sin familiepolitikk på alter av mismodighet. De gav bort sin tillit og sin troverdighet for å støtte FrP. Derfor har Hareide vinglet og vært ustødig om han vil støtte AP eller Høyre. Helt til siste liten. Da kom han med en avklaring, men den var syltynn. Selv om jeg positiv til mye av politikken til KrF, men med deres mulige støtte til Solberg og FrP. Så er det uspiselig.

Jeg håper på medmenneskelighet og felleskapstanken. Jeg håper på at når vi har resultatene på tirsdag. At det vil være i en litt annen retning. Enn der vi har vært i fire år. Der noen andre verdier vil bety mer, enn å støtte Tyrkia og Italia, slik at flyktninger ikke får et trygt sted å bo. Vi kanskje vise litt nestekjærlighet og solidaritet, ikke bygger mur og mer konflikt. Vi trenger ikke polarisering, vi trenger felles løsninger, på felles problemer og jobbe i sammen mot en bedre fremtid. Peace.

Opinion: Mzee continues to be hostile to any voice, but himself!

I have come here,(Buddu FM) mainly to undo the lies peddled by unscrupulous people on radio stations” (…) I have been polite, but when time comes I will get hard at people who spread lies about the government” (…) “The reason why am here is to detoxicate because many people having been poisoning the public with false information” – Yoweri Kaguta Museveni on Radio Buddu (09.09.2017).

President Museveni had yet another radio show explaining his plans with the Land Amendments and Constitutional Change. As his party and his henchmen has blocked Besigye to do the same. Therefore, National Resistance Movement (NRM) is clearing the air for the President. So when he does that, he should spring some enlightenment, instead he is attack the opposition and the other radio stations.

President Museveni could have told why he and his cronies were blocking Besigye from different radio stations, while he was on his own. Also, why Museveni at the same time stopped an on-air talk-show. Instead, days after he is grasping for air and assaulting them. Mzee, never liked opposition or visions who is not his own. Museveni and NRM have never really been about Multi-Party Democracy or visions for governance.

I am not surprised that Museveni is attacking the opposition and other media for questioning his vision. That has always been lies, since he is the truth-teller who has never told a little lie. He was supposed to step-down twice, he said once Presidents was not supposed to overstay in power. There are countless of lies in the over 30 years in charge. So when he says other people’s lies, he is throwing stones in a glass-house.

Also, when he warns media of having other voices than his. He proves his megalomaniac and controlling sense. Museveni and NRM are the only one for him. Mzee wanted to crush the opposition after the General Election of 2016. The President will really silence the media for his sake, therefore the Amendment cannot be that great if he has to warn the media.

That is automatically lies, since he has to use time for a Radio Campaign to muster support. Mzee is really on thin-ice dancing with the stars, when he has to muster threats instead of policy. When he has to silence and shuffle his deceptions to the airwaves. He spoke afterwards of that, but who cares when he goes all anti-mode and all in to win. It doesn’t matter what sorts of words he says, since he has already put distrust to any voice other than his.

I don’t believe a single word Museveni says, but that is because of decades of deceptions and play the facade. You are naive if you believe this man. President Museveni has used all tricks in the book. The Constitutional Amendment are only out for one thing: Make it easier for the government to take titles and land. So this is to sell-off land to investors and cronies, so they can short-change the public. That is the story the President will not tell. Therefore, what I am writing is a lie and also whatever “what-his-face” is saying on the radio whose not the President. Peace.

Burundi – CNARED-Giriteka: Communique de Presse (10.09.2017)

Politisk Reklame: SMSer er som Uadressert Reklame, kontroversielt javel, men lovlig!

Idag har Arbeiderpartiet sendt ut 500,000 SMS med beskjed at om man ønsker deres stemmer i valget. Dette har andre partier gjort før. Det er lovlig, men ikke like populært. Like populært som at man legger valgkamp materiell og brosjyrer i postkassene, når de er merket mot all reklame. «Nei takk, til uadressert reklame». Likvel, i følge våre lover og regler så har partiene lov til dette.

For å sette dette i historisk perspektiv så har Fremskrittspartiet gjort det samme:

«Vi har gjort en avtale med katalogselskapet Eniro, og det er de som har solgt oss denne tjenesten, sier Hanssen. De mange førstegangsvelgerne som i dag har mottatt SMS, har gjort dette fordi FrP har kjøpt lister fra Eniro, rettere sagt fra Inform, som er et datterselskap av Eniro. Inform som lever av å selge adresser og kontaktinformasjon, har solgt dette til FrP, og så har de brukt dette videre. Så vidt meg bekjent er det ikke vi som har sendt ut SMS, og vi er nøye med å følge de lover og regler som gjelder her, sier Bård Hammervold i Eniro til DinSide» (Pickard, 2009).

Sånn at når Arbeiderpartiet gjør dette i dag:

«En SMS ble sendt direkte til velgere søndag formiddag med følgende budskap “Hei. Stortingsvalget blir jevnt. Du avgjør om Frp og Høyre fortsetter i regjering. Vil du ha et skifte? Skole og eldre fremfor skattekutt? Stem Arbeiderpartiet!”. Arbeiderpartiet ønsker å nå bredt ut med vår politikk og mobilisere flest mulig til å stemme. I tillegg til markedsføring gjennom annonser og materiell har vi sendt ut brev og SMS direkte til velgergrupper. Kontaktopplysningene er fra Iper Konsumet, som er et register over norske konsumenter. Kontaktinformasjonen er leid for en gangs bruk. Politiske organisasjoner er ikke pliktige til å følge reservasjon mot direkte reklame» (Arbeiderpartiet, 2017)

Slik at både FrP og AP har brukt samme trikset i samme tidsperiode av valgkampen. De har sendt ut SMS med budskap om at man bør stemme på deres parti. Dette kommer rett i lommen på de lister og selskaps telefonlister som de har tilgang på. FrP brukte Eniro og AP bruke Iper Konsument. Begge er like irriterende. Like irriterende som at man kommer på dører, at det legges i postkasser og at det gis på trikken, bussholdeplassen og torv. Hvis du først ikke liker politisk agenda eller parti, så blir det provoserende. Det skjønner jeg, samtidig, ville du følt likt om det var ditt eget parti som sendte SMSer til deg?

Det er slik nå at partiene har lov til å delegere og etablere seg mer i den offentlige sfæren enn før. Dette fordi politisk reklame er helt greit, mens alkohol og tobakk er forbudt. Selv om vi vet hva vi får om vi kjøper Jack Daniels, Hansa Pils, Petterøs Blå eller General Snus. Vi vet hva vi får om vi kjøper dette eller reklameres får, men når vi ser smilene til Siv Jensen , Erna Solberg eller Jonas Gahr Støre på perrongen. Så kan de både selg fulg eller fisk. De kan selge fred eller krig. Ikke lett å vite av å kikke på plakater som er stylet og har et slagord. «Vi kommer i Fred», «Vi bygger verden», «Vi er imot skatter og avgifter» osv.

Derfor, skjønner jeg problematikken rundt SMSene, ikke at den er ny eller veldig kontrovesiell. Skjønner at folk ikke liker dette, like lite som uadressert reklame. Akkurat som en liker like dårlig at man får reklame midt under et ski-renn. Skjønner greia, men verden er full av reklame og politikerne vi har gitt seg selv rettigheter til å gjøre dette. Så lenge det ikke er lovstridig å stå på torv å gi ut valgkamp brosjyrer, sleppe disse i postkassene, fylle reklameplakatene på busser, rutebilstasjoner og ellers. Så vil også partier sende SMSer for å vinne noen flere velgere.

Akkurat som Høyre gjorde den ene dagen, gav en pose Solbær-toddy til forbipasserende når det regnet. I sammen klistred med valgkamp brosjyre. Samme som om man får en rose av AP. Dette er slik partiene driver og holder på. Akkurat som vi var små å raidet standene for å få drops fra de forskjellige partiene, der vi diskutere i flokk om KrF sine hadde bedre smak enn de som Venstre hadde. Slik er det bare og hører med valgkampen.

Selvfølgelig skulle registreringen i Brønnøysund gjeldt denne form for reklame. Slik at når du er registert skulle du være slettet fra lister. Men om man slår på TV så er det reklamer støtt og stadig. Samme form for budskap legges i postkassen. Den er i gatene og ved veiene. Dette fordi partiene har lov. Hvis vi vil ha slutt på dette, så må man få representantene til å stoppe dette. Slik de gjorde for Petterøs og Hansa. Som ikke lenger har reklame for tobakk eller øl. Bare alkoholfri øl er lovlig. Derfor er det mest Cola og Pepsi Max reklamer.

Hvis vi ikke vil ha det slik, så må det regelendring til, da vil dette bli ulovlig akkurat som andre former for reklame. Det er ikke lenge siden det var forbudt med politisk reklame. Dette ble åpnet for noen år siden og nå ser vi hva dører dette åpner. FrP har brukt denne i 2009, med blandede reaksjoner, det samme har nå AP. Med misnøye. Derfor, om vi ønsker andre former for kampanjer og annen form for politisk dialog og kampanjer. Så må vi ønske å forandre regelverket slik at Partiene ikke har lov. Enten så har alle lov, eller så har ingen.

Har også sett at Partiet De Kristne har sendt ut SMSer. Dette har ikke blitt tatt tak i, disse sendte til de «verdikonservative» i Norge. Jeg fikk selv en SMS fra Valg.no med dette budskapet den 6. September:

«Hei! Dette er en vennlig påminnelse om stortingsvalget 11. september. Demokratiet har bruk for din stemme, så husk å delta i valget! Hilsen valg.no» (Valg.no, 06.09.2017).

Slik at det er mange former og mange som bruker denne formen for å spre informasjon. Da må vi bare ta valg, vi må få representantene til å bestemme for oss og gjøre reelle beslutninger slik at slikt blir det slutt på. Det har vi gjort med andre ting, så hvorfor ikke dette også. Peace.

BTW: Jeg er ikke mot budskapet til AP idag, mer imot metoden, akkurat som jeg imot alle former for politisk reklame. Ser frem til busser og bussholdeplasser uten forfengelige politikere med slagord klistera over hele bybilde. Men det er bare meg.

DP Ruto claims the IEBC did some mistakes, but still says SCOK are run by Con-Men; Instead of reforming the IEBC!

On the 9th September of 2017, this at Uhuru Park in Nairobi. The rally that the Jubilee Party hold today. The Fresh Elections that is happening the 17th October 2017 after the Supreme Court ruling that annulled the Presidential Election on the 8th August. Since then, the Jubilee Party and their cronies has attacked the Supreme Court. They have gone after the judges and now they are turning to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), I would have considered that the first option. Since they we’re the ones rigging the elections and counting of the ballots. Still, the Deputy President are still blaming the Supreme Court. Just take a look!

Deputy President William Ruto said today: “You cannot sacrifice the will of Kenyans at the altar of the mistakes of IEBC” (Kenya Citizen TV, 09.09.2017). The supreme Court was used by conmen. They conspired through treachery, conmanship and deceit to overturn the will of 15 million Kenyans. We are watching you my friends” Ruto said while addressing the crowd. “You should come to your senses and apologise for this great evil you have done unto Kenyan,” Ruto further stated” (Osoro, 2017).

That Jubilee Party and DP Ruto are blaming con-men for involvement in the ruling. While he is also blaming weakly the IEBC. That they are to blame for the second elections this year. Since the Court actually nullified them. They used the tricks to steal from 15 millions Kenyans. It is insane and because of them, Jubilee and Ruto are now watching them!

Just like the Ruto hasn’t come with enough threats towards Supreme Court and now the IEBC. It’s like they are blaming someone else, instead of looking into the issues of the IEBC. Not like the Jubilee Party, Kenyatta and Ruto want to make the changes within the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), so that the Electoral Malpractice and Computer Manipulated Results. All of this should be an issue for Jubilee. Ruto and Kenyatta should respect the Court and their ruling. But they don’t! They attack them and call them “thugs” and now “con-men”!

DP Ruto should be concerned about the IEBC External Servers, the IEBC Portal and the lack of transparency considering the Declaration Forms from the Polling Stations. Combined with the IEBC Secretariat that continues to play with the public and unravel what went on before and during the 8th August polls for the Presidency. IEBC has crossed the Electoral Codes and breached them. Therefore, DP Ruto should step-up and change the practices. Ruto should work bipartisan with NASA to make sure people trust the IEBC. This wasn’t mere defaults and mistakes. The elections done and the counting, crossing of the will of the Kenyans during the recent election. As their ballots was used as tool to make sure Jubilee got the power, but not validate them in the announcing of the results.

DP Ruto, you should fixate on the Electoral Malpractices, instead of calling the courts ruled by con-men. Instead, Jubilee and Ruto should work to make sure people trust the IEBC and Supreme Court. Not making them look badder. Not try to defend IEBC and say it was mere mistakes. It was malpractice and to make sure the cronies hired their bosses who appointed them. Supreme Court did their duty and followed the law. Something IEBC should do as well. Jubilee should make sure the Electoral Codes and Systems are trustworthy.

That is lacking… lackluster and not really happening, because the status quo is benefiting Ruto and Jubilee. Peace.

Kenya: NCIC and UWIANO Platform for Peace Condemns Political Intolerance (08.09.2017)

Opinion: NRM are cowards for blocking Besigye’s radio campaign!

Just as the President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni stopped his national radio trip for traveling abroad for a conference of some kind. The Opposition leader and the People’s President Dr. Kizza Besigye was planning of having his own radio campaign to counter the peddling lies of the President concerning the Land Amendment.

Because the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) are questioning the motives of the Constitutional Amendment and the possible land-grab. That will hurt to be listening to in the villages. That is why the Amuru land-grab has hurt the plans of the government and their sugar factory agreement with the foreign investors. Clearly, Besigye speaking ill of it will bend the lies and mask of the government. This is something the National Resistance Movement (NRM) and Museveni cannot deflect. Therefore, even as Besigye had paid Voice of Kigezi or 89.5 FM – The Trumpet, we’re paid 1,000,000 million shillings for participating in a talk-show on the radio. This one time payment was paid on 8th September , as the show was scheduled yesterday. But the Radio was blocked by the government to air it. The same radio station that hosted the President on the 4th September. But when Besigye tries on the 8th September its blocked. What childish play by the government!

You know your speeches and arguments are weak tea, when you cannot be disowned or having other organizations question your actions. Your know your attempt of change of laws is disgusting, when the opposition cannot question it on air. Another radio station Besigye was blocked from was the Kabale Radio station, 94.7 FM Freedom Radio. To this radio station Besigye paid 500,000 shillings. So half million shillings for the time, that he couldn’t use. So Besigye has paid two radio station 1,5 millions shillings, but we’re blocked by both. The Mbarara and Kabale based stations.

That Museveni and NRM are cowards, that he has to continue with foul-play is just proving his belittling of fellow citizens. It’s just like NRM can have rallies and demonstrations for the Article 102 Amendment in Arua, but if the FDC would have a counter demonstration, they would be arrested, detained and blocked for doing so. The Police would use the Public Order Management Act, even as the Opposition had informed and notice as by law. Still, the Police would interfere and shut it down. But the NRM and NRM Youth can walk the street with banners and demonstrate for the cause.

The same is now shown with radio campaign of Museveni, but when Besigye tries to do the same. He is blocked. Its cowardice and show how little margin of error there is for others, but Museveni is the royal king who can do as he wants. Museveni can put shackles on anyone, but he can do as he pleases. No boundaries for the misuse of power, as he uses it by any means. Peace.

Safaricom plays petty politics by issuing obstacles for NASA fundraising over their M-PESA Paybill!

Bob Collymore and Safaricom are going for the National Super Alliance (NASA), this is not a shock, but should been seen as an expected move. Since the letter dated to 5th September from Safaricom to NASA and Orange Democratic Movement is named “Usage of M-Pesa Paybill – 991444”. This is stating the affairs between the company and just have to appear as the Fresh Elections are going.

Sort of moves like this is to stifle the competition. Safaricom has in past been linked with the ruling regime and the incumbent. They have even avoided giving evidence in cases that might indict and prosecute fellow Jubilee members. That has occurred in the recent years. So that they are trying to salvage the funds and stop the fundraising would not surprise me either.

We refer to the M-PESA Paybill that you applied for in June 2017 to facilitate the raising of funds for the Presidential campaign. We note that the usage of the Paybill has now changed and the same is now being used for raising funds to adopt polling stations. This is contrary to the purpose for the Paybill that you indicated when applying for the Paybill. We therefore request that you provided us with written confirmation on the purpose of the Paybill and when the fundraising is ending” (Safaricom Limited, John Muchiri, 05.09.2017).

The Paybill which the NASA Party M-PESA Paybill is campaign contributions, as the party and coalition needs funds for the campaign that is lasting to 17th October 2017. This because the contributions and the support for the coalition is necessary. The Paybill are a perfect example of public support of NASA. Since the Mobile Money popularity and the way people are used to transfer money. Therefore, if the Safaricom Limited Compay are suspending the account and the Paybill. It will really hurt the NASA campaign. Clearly, they would do so to short-change the cash-funds the NASA. This all would be to help the cause of incumbent Kenyatta. Nothing else. But Collymore are connected with the Jubilee.

So it wouldn’t be surprising if Safaricom eventually did so. The Jubilee and Safaricom has worked together in the past and certainly wants to do so in the future. Odinga, ODM and NASA coalition clearly needs to work even close with the Telecom Company, but they should be fair. Since Safaricom knows about the Fresh Elections and would already know the usage of the funds raised. It is insane to say otherwise. This is political power-game by the company, who has not reissued any obstacles for Jubilee. So we know their loyalty. Peace.

South Sudan: ICRC condems killing of staff member (09.09.2017)

Yet another Future Partnership report on Brexit: The UK Gov. wants similar research collaboration as of today!

The newest report on Research Collaboration between United Kingdom and the European Union, as the withdrawal from the EU will lead to chances in science and research in the United Kingdom. The Tories Government are still within the wishful thinking. Their paradigm is clearly the softest of the soft Brexits. So soft, that butter isn’t soft enough.

Brexit appeal must really be dwindling since most of the Future Partnership Papers has been softball and easy road into withdrawal. The EU will clearly make this harder and more expensive. United Kingdom government wants clearly more of the same. It is expected to be dialogue and negotiations between the partners. Here is some parts of the Reports!

It is the UK’s ambition to build on its uniquely close relationship with the EU, so that collaboration on science and innovation is not only maintained, but strengthened. Therefore, as part of the new, deep and special partnership, the UK will seek an ambitious science and innovation agreement with the EU that will support and promote science and innovation across Europe both now and in the future” (HM Government, P: 7, 2017).

EU programmes have helped foster European scientific collaboration and the UK has been a key contributor to their success. The UK remains a full member of the EU and will be subject to all rights and obligations set out in the Treaties and under EU law, including the principle of sincere cooperation, until it leaves the EU. In that context, and looking ahead to a strong future relationship, both the UK and the European Commission have been clear that they expect the fair treatment of UK researchers and firms. The UK and EU should also work together to provide continuity of collaborative relationships” (HM Government, P: 9, 2017).

The Commission is planning a European Defence Research Programme in the next Multiannual Financial Framework, which is expected to invest €500 million per year in industry and academia from participating countries. To prepare for this, a three-year Action was launched in 2017 and the UK has been instrumental in defining its work programme. The UK would welcome dialogue with the EU and its Member States on the future of this programme and terms for non-EU involvement, noting that Norway will have third-party association in this preparatory phase” (HM Government, P: 13, 2017).

The UK wants to continue playing a major role in creating a brighter future for all European citizens by strengthening collaboration with European partners in science and innovation” (…) “To this end, the UK will seek to agree a far-reaching science and innovation agreement with the EU that establishes a framework for future collaboration. There are a range of existing precedents for collaboration that the UK and the EU can build on, but our uniquely close relationship means there may be merit in designing a more ambitious agreement. The UK hopes to have a full and open discussion with the EU about all of these options as part of the negotiations on our future partnership” (HM Government, P: 16, 2017).

I am not surprised by this Future Partnership Report, it is one of many now. The ones dropped in August was similar, but different topics. United Kingdom wants all of the options on the table and still want close relationship, but the UK will be a non-Member-State. They are focusing on the special bond between the Norwegian and the EU, but that means the UK must work hard to get that relationship. Since the EU will clearly not just give way to UK. Though, the Future Papers are lots of dreams.

So another daydream is done, Brexit Minister David Davis and others in the Tories Government, surely needs help and also should know that EU will not trade-off anything easy. Brexit will not be easy and their papers prove it. As they are having extra-terrestrial and alien belief about their negotiations and their deal-making with the EU. Peace.
