Opinion: Donald Trump Junior isn’t the smartest cookie out there, as the Russian Probe continues!
“No owl is afraid of the night, no snake of the swamp and no traitor of the treason!”- Mehmet Murat Ildan
Well, yesterday the revelation of yet another aspect of the Russian interference in the Presidential Elections of the United States came to the public view. As the big-media and the social media has been flooded with information and connections with collision. It is not as if Donald Trump Junior has been brilliant or even shown any intelligence to hide the facts. He is proven that his not James Bond or James Blunt for that matter. He is just the oldest son of a cynical family who uses their ties to Russia to get advantage during the campaigns before November 2016.
Trump Junior, who is part of the New York Gang, has clearly gotten himself into trouble, therefore he had to have a locked room in Congress, he could not stomach to lie on C-Span to the whole nation; that is something Sean Hannity does for him already on Fox. Where he tried to deflect the meeting with Russian Government Agents and alike.
It is as if they do not thinks people can tie things together. The Russian Adoption story seems even more far-fetched with the timeline and the releases from WikiLeaks. As the e-mails between him and the speeches of his father, proclaiming that people should release the Clinton E-Mails. It is like a bad nightmare for him, but he still thinks he piss gold, sorry Junior it is still piss.
That the Trump Campaign whom already has issues with Carter Paige, George Papadopoulos, Paul Manafort and Rick Gates. As well as the investigations into Michael Flynn and his son too. There are enough conspiracy rolling, as the train is usually surrounding his son-in-law Jared Kushner, the new savior of American Democracy and Middle East Peace Process. While, nothing really happing there. We can just imagine how the lawyers of the Trump Campaign and the Trump Organization feel. As the Robert Mueller and Congress Investigation continues and the peeling of the onion.
Even I wondered why the was no leaks of any proportion from the Republican Party and Trump Campaign, while the Clinton’s was undressed in public and we got to see how a giant and big money politics works from the inside. It was damaging yes and the elitism stung it severely. Those wounds are surely addressed in her new, but not that I need to read it. We know Hillary Clinton has rights tell her grievances of the whole experience.
Still, that Donald Trump Junior is not wise or even street-smart is evident as he meets with Russians in the Trump Tower, deflects the meaning of this meeting, while having direct talks with the WikiLeaks days ahead of the releases of the leaked E-Mails. He must be one of the co-stars in Dumber and Dumber to not understand the implications. The lawyers should have a field day with this.
That Jeff Sessions and Mike Pence knew something is also now evident, even if none of them officially recalls anything. I expect them both to have forgotten their mother’s maiden name by now, even their wives birthdays as well. Since the meetings and conversations about Russian connections has been in oblivion. Because their deflections and the stories now coming from Paige, Papadopoulos and Trump Junior, implies something compared also to Trump senior’s own Twitter account. As well as Roger Stone implying in the days after Trump Jr. E-mails with WikiLeaks are revealing. The whole operations are easy to show and does not need the smartest people to tie it together.
Donnie boy has messed up, but how costly and how many counts on his indictment or his proceeding courtship is unknown as Mueller’s wheels are running slow; still his upcoming trials and speculations into what sort of breaches of law is not evident. Clearly, the played with foreign agent and foreign government aides to becoming superior, that has to count for something. Not the victory, but the tarnished reputation and the activity that goes into treason. That your friends are adversaries of the state and you still work together.
We can imagine what the next revelation might be. Certainly, it will show how foolish and reckless the Trump Campaign was, as most of them had ties to Kremlin, meet with Kremlin guys and some like Manafort got paid through their oligarchs. The worst part is, this is not a bad B-Movie with Dolph Lundgren or Jet Li, and this is the real deal.
The Saga continues and the New York Gang is not looking good, it is bad. How bad, that can only time tell. Peace.

South Sudan: Humanitarian Coordinator welcomes President’s order on humanitarian Access (14.11.2017)

South Sudan’s humanitarian partners appreciate the step that President Kiir has taken to ensure the free movement of supplies and personnel.
JUBA, South Sudan, November 14, 2017 – The Humanitarian Coordinator for South Sudan, Alain Noudéhou, has welcomed President Salva Kiir Mayardit’s decree ordering free, unimpeded and unhindered movement of humanitarian organizations in the country.
“Ensuring unhindered humanitarian access is essential to save lives,” said Noudéhou. “South Sudan’s humanitarian partners appreciate the step that President Kiir has taken to ensure the free movement of supplies and personnel, particularly at a time when food insecurity continues to deteriorate and humanitarian organizations face pressure to expand their response.”
“We hope that the order will have a positive impact in reducing the many constraints faced by humanitarian partners that delay or prevent the provision of urgently needed help and which too often place humanitarian staff at risk,” he added.
“We look forward to seeing the order implemented on the ground swiftly and we will continue to work with all concerned authorities to ensure a safe and secure operational environment that is conducive to the timely delivery of humanitarian assistance to people in need.”
Opinion: Unbelievable Mediocre Response from Kenyatta to the 26th October Elections Petitions!

President Uhuru Kenyatta, the Incumbent president and the head honcho of the Jubilee Party. He is supposed to be in control and understand the laws, the issues in Kenyan society and the reasons for the stalemate between him and Raila Odinga. Clearly, he has lost touch and his allies isn’t giving him proper advice. He had a botched birthday on the 26th October this year, as the turnout was low, the trust in the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) was all-time low, as the IEBC Internal Memo’s flooded the public with key information. As the Jubilee Party and their Cabinet Secretaries didn’t make the situation better. All of this has create a vacuum and problems that are steaming from several parts of Kenya.
Therefore without further ado, lets eat the key statements from the Kenyatta response:
“That Mr. Kenyatta was legitimately elected by 7.6 million Kenyans who were given fair opportunity to enjoy their sacrosanct voting right” (…) “That the petitions are only challenging the processes but not the numbers for he was the absolute winner in the repeat poll” (…) “That even if the process were to affect the numbers, it would not be substantive enough to close the margin of victory to warrant an annulment” (…) “That the contradictions in the communication of voter turnout number was a mere mathematical confusion experienced by such electoral bodies” (…) “That in the interest of the public, the petition should be dismissed in order for the perpetual politicking to end and for normalcy to return” (Kenya Today, 2017).
When this sort of response comes from a seasoned politician as Uhuru Kenyatta, I start to wonder if he is a milkman only or if he is presidential. Since, these sort of arguments are whack. That you start with an arbitrary number, that is hard to be proven even by the IEBC, the Electoral body and later says you we’re the absolute winner in an election where the main opponent didn’t show up and boycotted. Is just mere speculation of a victory, in that election there wasn’t any winner. There was only losers. Nobody won on the 26th October Fresh Presidential Elections. There was only losers, as the Kenyan people lost the used state funds to hold the exercise and to keep the charade going. Therefore, the “victory” is a bad blood and PR Stunt in Cambridge Analytica way, which is just amazing that Jubilee are working so hard to sell it.
That the President, the Incumbent President says there wasn’t any grounds in the process. Is just a mere lie, as he knows about the flaws and the factual misgivings within the IEBC. The IEBC didn’t push the laws and codes of the electoral law, instead they we’re renegade cowboys who wanted to support their milkman. Pardon me, Kenyatta. That again, the man praising his victories number of 7 whatnot millions voters, while not questioning the turnout in a boycotted affair. Is just blazing guns without trying to hit a target, you either hit or miss. In this aspect is a miserable miss, who fails even to find what you shot or even if did even shoot.
Kenyatta continues that the petitions just should be dismissed on the grounds “perpetual politicking to end and for normalcy to return”. That is again just himself politicking himself the petition, as he wants the Supreme Court to just let the nation go back to normalcy, because that benefits his ruling regime. Not that it matters if the IEBC followed the Constitution or the Codes in the Electoral Law. That is just mere problems and can only matter as provisional codes, not codes that should stop his successful botched birthday.
We can wonder if Kenyatta really believes this, if he has faith in his own response, if he thinks it will be considered. Even taken into account. As the Supreme Court has already nullified it ones, they have as much grounds to repeat that again. Since, the Jubilee and neither IEBC has been truthful, neither honest about their approach to yet another “victory”. The gig should be up and Kenyatta knows this.
He knows if it is nullified again, he is humiliated and has lost in the courts twice. Again he has to run for the third presidential election, as the IEBC are already misused and also political partisan as their numbers are cooked the way Kenyatta needs.
So will Kenyatta accept another humiliation and be laughed at as the press-pool gathers to read the verdict of the Supreme Court! Will he accept it and not use the army to actually steal the nation by the guns, since he cannot win the grace of the people and their hearts. This can be said, since the National Super Alliance boycott of the 26th October Elections has undressed the master and his personal gains of the office. Not of his wish to serve the republic or be there for the people. That is why they left him and his institutions, that is why they are now boycotting his milk and his cartels.
Kenyatta and the IEBC are playing a losing hand. We just have to see in the coming days, how they will take it! Peace.
