Opinion: Mordaunt couldn’t save Truss…

The Prime Minister is not under a desk, as the hon. Lady suggests. I can assure the House that, with regret, she is not here for a very good reason. Neither has she taken this decision to win the hon. Lady’s gratitude; she has done it out of a sense of duty, because she knows what is in the national interest” – Penny Mordaunt (17.10.2022).

Another shocker in the short time-span of the reign of Prime Minister Liz Truss. She suddenly without a forewarning, appointed or gave the reigns in the House of Commons to Penny Mordaunt MP to answer the Urgent Questions after appointing Jeremy Hunt to be the Chancellor on Friday. Therefore, it wasn’t a great sign to see some other Tories MP answer in her stead. That’s just a bad choice and not reflecting trust in her leadership.

Penny Mordaunt was a total hack in the House of Commons. Not that this is shocking, but her retort to Keir Stramer sounds of desperation and not of a sound reflection. However, we know the Tories these days don’t have the time or the ability to plan ahead. The Tories are steady lightening up fires and hoping someone gives them credit for putting it down. They were the ones with the gasoline and lit the place up. After the fact, they want credit for stopping. When they were the ones who did it in the first place. That’s the magic of the Tories lately and after 12 years in power too.

That’s why the arrogance of Mordaunt is really tragic-comical.

Read these quotes from the Hansard today:

In terms of the Opposition’s performance, I think Larry the cat would give them a run for their money” (Mordaunt, 17.10.2022).

I know that the Chancellor wants to work with all Members of this House in the interests of all our constituents. I hope that there will also be opportunities to talk about our record in government and how we have transformed this country for the better since 2010” (Mordaunt, 17.10.2022).

First, I fully appreciate the optics of my appearing at the Dispatch Box, but there is a very genuine reason why the Prime Minister is not here. I understand that people will wish to make political hay out of it. She would wish to be here, but she is unable to be here at the moment. The Chancellor will be along shortly to answer these questions” (Mordaunt, 17.10.2022).

We know the running excuse was the Prime Minister was busy meeting with Sir Graham Brady MP, the leader of the 1922 Committee. However, he was parts of the Urgent Questions and only left closer to 16:00 when the PM actually arrived at the Parliament. So, the lie is that the PM was elsewhere and not busy with the Urgent Questions ahead of the new Chancellors statement on Financial Policies.

Certainly this should have run better and been more welcoming. It is really rare that the PM is avoiding the Urgent Questions. That just shows that she don’t have the possible answers and used the 1922 Committee as an excuse. Especially when there is pictures of Sir Graham Brady MP taking part of the proceedings earlier today.

Prime Minister Truss maybe had something important to do or of National Interests. However, shouldn’t she defend her actions and her new Chancellor today?

That seems like the perfect thing to do. Also, supporting Hunt who was just appointed before the weekend. We cannot expect much from him… when his boss doesn’t even show up to answer questions and comes with reasons to trust him. Truss is failing the nation and cannot even stand up for her choices. She can just burn things and pin blame on others. Being inept and irresponsible at it.

The excuse for why she didn’t show has been debunked as well. So, we can wonder why she skipped the Urgent Questions and if she wasn’t mentally prepared for it. That’s really a disappointing action from her part. As the PM she should have been there and answered it directly.

Mordaunt MP shouldn’t have done this, but she did it out of loyalty. The MP didn’t win many hearts. The Tories themselves will say she did a good job, but she only did the bare minimum and was arrogant towards the opposition. That’s not shocking, but the Tories are the ones that are burning down the place. They cannot point fingers elsewhere. Not as long as they are creating the problems and not able to create stability. The latest actions of Truss doesn’t make it seem likely that they will change it.

Rather this sort of U-Turn and wicked ways will continue. The persistence of uncertainty and lack of “who is in-charge” … PM Truss is actually able to be worse than Boris Johnson. Know that the bar was really low and she shattered it. That’s a compelling level of epic failure on her part. Mordaunt MP could salvage that or the questions either.

The only thing she has given us is a few funny quotes, but not helped the current situation the slightest. Peace.

Opinion: Mao – A deal is a deal and these are the cards your dealt…

President Museveni has said the Memorandum of Understanding that the NRM signed with Democratic Party in July did not include any agreement on political transition. In an interview with NBS TV which will be aired tonight, Museveni said Norbert Mao, the DP president general, was brought on board as a strategy to “bring the opposition into government” but not to oversee any form of political transition” (Josephine Namakumbi – ‘Museveni: “My deal with Mao does not include political transition”’ 17.10.2022, Nile Post).

The secret and sudden agreement between the National Resistance Movement and Democratic Party shocked the Republic when it happened. Certainly, certain aspects of it was in the cards. That has been shown ever since. However, DP Party President Norbert Mao has over-promised his reach. The agreement has been made like this for a reason. To not give him overreaching power or mandate, which would be out of control for His Excellency.

President Museveni would never ever trade away his leverage or his office. Neither would he be foolish enough to risk his stay in power. He fought a war to get it and he never intends to leave. Mao can make all the wishes he wants, but the initial agreement is obvious. The stipulated article, which is in the realms of reform is clear. There are opening for electoral reforms and constitutional reforms on Parliamentary Term, but nothing stipulated about the a political transition. That’s not in the picture and the President isn’t lying. Secondly, who would be bold enough to suggest that while making an agreement? When he has shown no intention of doing so since the 1980s….

Read Article 17 of the July Agreement:

17. Beyond these stated areas of cooperation, it is also the Government’s intention to work with political parties from across Parliament (including the Opposition) on issues that affect our democracy, including the recommendations of the Supreme Court on Electoral Reforms. Recommendations made to the Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee on Constitutional Reforms and the length of the Parliamentary term” (NRM DP Agreement, July 2022).

Then the day-dreaming of Mao:

The Democratic Party president general and Minister of Constitutional Affairs, Mr Norbert Mao, has asked youth to prepare for a peaceful transition of power in 2031. Mr Mao, who was speaking at the belated Youth Day celebrations at Bubangizi Secondary School playground at Mitooma on Saturday, where vice president Jessica Alupo was the chief guest, said the President gave him the assignment of ensuring a peaceful transition” (Felix Ainebyoona & Milton Bandiho – ‘I’m preparing Uganda for peaceful transfer of power – Mao’, 03.10.2022, Daily Monitor).

I have a hard time seeing Mao or the DP being able to pull it off. The agreement in other articles stipulates that the parties needs to consult before putting forward legislation. Secondly, there is supposed to be “no surprises” and private minister bill. Meaning Mao has to consult the President before doing anything. That is according to the agreement they both signed off. Meaning in the end, Mao’s hands are tied and he needs to get guidance before moving. He cannot act on his own accord or after his whims. No, he has to follow stipulations and get vouched for before putting forward any sort of reform or political transition for that matter.

Last fact is that Museveni only signed off on possible Electoral Reform and amendments of the Constitution. However, he cannot do so with a shocking twist or without coordination or consultation of the NRM. This means that he has to follow quorum and protocol before doing so.

Mao can lie about these things, but that’s doesn’t make it more true. Usually, I tend to think that Museveni lies. Because, he does that a lot and speak half-truths too. However, in this instance… Mao is naked and he forgotten his own agreements or proposed agenda. Peace.

Opinion: This Amourath situation needs to be taken seriously…

An E-Girl is still a woman. Yes, she has a platform and been selling an idea and been able to profit on her beauty. That isn’t a strange piece of information in 2022. A lady who has the looks and the finesse can get situated. This is how many has looked at the Twitch streamer Amourath who has an army of “simps” and followers who has made her bank-account pregnant.

Alas, there is more to the story, apparently, which should be taken seriously. The internet meets the real world. The internet personality has a real life situation, which should be investigated. Amourath’s real name is Kaitilyn Michelle Siragusa who is married to Nick Lee in December 2015.

However, that’s been kept secret by Amourath. In financial sense and commercial sense it makes dollars. The men who can dream of wifey-ing up a lady like her. That’s why they subscribe and look forward to her streams. This is a way and a manner of which is far from new. To sell an idea and trade the body to influence lonely men. That’s why men has called sex-phones and paid for service to e-girls like forever. Therefore, the actions of Amourath makes sense or cents this way.

Nevertheless, what makes it different is the exposing of her husband. Not that she has a husband. That is all natural that a women like her has a partner and a life-partner too. The trouble is the extortion and the abuse. The latest stream where she filmed and told her story… was troubling and shows a sinister side of it all.

Seemingly the husband was the man operating everything behind the scenes. The one who had control of the bank-accounts and the livelihood she has created. She has close to 6 million followers on her Twitch account and have over 400 million views. Only in the latest week she has gotten 90,000 more subscribers. That is telling about how big she is and what sort of stature she has. That’s not talking about the profits from OnlyFans. Amourath is a self-serving business and a well known name.

So, if the stories are true… the husband is clearly out of line and using her for wealth. The work and the labour Amourath does is for his pockets. She has to follow orders and do what he wants. Initially, it’s told that he directed her to do the infamous “pool streams” and other things too. This just shows how manipulative the husband is.

That’s why this needs to be addressed and pin evidence too. This cannot just be the talk of the town. There is a need to address it in a manner of which the husband get disconnected from her. Amourath don’t deserve this and no one does. If she was just another E-Girl doing her thing. I wouldn’t bat an eye. That’s their business and how they want to monetize their lives. However, if she is living in an abusive and dangerous relationship. It needs to be remedies to make it stop and his threats has to end. No one deserves to live in that and it’s not healthy. That’s why I am writing it…

Am not a fan of Amourath and used her as an epitome of E-Girls on Twitch. That’s for a reason, she’s like the biggest and well-known at this point. At that time, we didn’t know what was happening behind the closed doors.

We have seen virtue signalling and things toying around. We have seen people calling “rape” and it was only stories to hurt a career of a man. However, here we need to our mind rights and see for what it is. Amourath had nothing to earn or gain by doing this directly on stream. The “simps” could revoke her status and feel betrayed, by suddenly knowing she is married in secret. That’s why you know there is more to this and she deserves courage, support and help.

She needs shelter and guidance from wise counsel. Not from random people online. Amourath needs to seek help from the outside. If she can get away from the man. Especially, if his acting the way she portrayed yesterday on the stream. That’s when she needs to go to those places where woman runs away from dangerous spouses. The body and the mental state needs healing. That’s what she needs and she needs remedies to get control of her life again. This is if everything she said was true. I cannot assess that, but there are more to this… and we shouldn’t take this one easy.

This is not the time to let it slide. It is the time for Law Enforcement to investigate and look into it. Secondly, she needs to leave and get help. That’s all we can say. I cannot take it lightly on it. I wish it was light-hearted, because of the topic and the platform, which is discussed, now and then. Not like Twitch and E-Girls are separated any-more. However, that isn’t what is the issue today.

No, it is an abusive relationship between spouses. Usually, these details and stories happens behind closed doors. They are not in the open, but this was told for the whole world to see. Now we just have to wait and see what happens next. Peace.

Haïti: Note de Positionnement des Organisations Feministes Haïtiennes – Communique de Presse (17.10.2022)

Opinion: Kanye becomes a Right-Wing Social Media site owner [since his now buying Parler!]

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” – Kanye West on “New Day” of ‘Watch The Throne’ (2011).

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 17, 2022 – Parlement Technologies announced today that it has entered into an agreement in principle to sell Parler, the world’s pioneering uncancelable free speech platform, to Ye (formerly known as Kanye West). Ye has become the richest Black man in history through music and apparel and is taking a bold stance against his recent censorship from Big Tech, using his far-reaching talents to further lead the fight to create a truly non-cancelable environment. “In a world where conservative opinions are considered to be controversial we have to make sure we have the right to freely express ourselves,” says Ye” (PR Newswire – ‘Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, to acquire Parler platform’ 17.10.2022).

Kanye Omari West aka Kanye aka Yeezy aka Ye is now officially becoming the owner of Parler or Parlement Technologies. Which is really interesting, as it is founded by Rebekah Mercer. If your not familiar with her?

She has supported Donald J. Trump’s Presidential Campaign in 2016. Also, been a patron of Steve Bannon and Ted Cruz. In addition to the Mercer’s has funded Breitbart. Therefore, Parler is a right-wing social media house and not just a run-of-the-mill corporation. Not to forget, she also partly funded the Cambridge Analytica. This is why you should know what sort of character she is and that’s why it’s important for what Kanye West or Ye is buying.

Ye is buying a sort of 4Chan or Gab. This is just another one of them. Not to forget to mention Truth Social or Gettr for that matter. The Right-Wing media is so scattered and spread out. Now Ye is getting direct ownership of it.

Currently the Parler website isn’t the biggest, in the last three months there been 1.3 million visits and the duration on the page is about 3 minutes. Which is very little if we were to compare with Twitter, Instagram or Facebook for that matter. That we know is the main competition and where it wants to aim at.

Parler isn’t a big company either. It has like 6 employees and 9 connections to it. It was only in September 2022 that the company rebranded itself to be “uncancelable” whatever that means, because we know a leftist on the site would be booted out quickly.

Protect Young Eyes says this about Parler:“Is Parler safe for kids? No it isn’t. The 17+ rating in Apple’s App Store is the right spot. This is a social platform made by adults and 100% for adults. Why? Because the Community decides what stays and goes. I understand that Parler wants to be a refuge for those who are tired of political censorship, but they are trusting human nature to figure out what’s best for humans. Time will tell if this works! In the history of the Internet, this just doesn’t tend to go well (related post: Deep Web, Dark Web Explained)” (Protect Young Eyes – ‘Parler App Reveiw’).

We can expect it to be in this lane. Kanye West or Ye has drifted in this way for so long. The latest controversies are showing it too. His association not only with Trump and Candance Owens. That’s just who he is and buying Parler is just a reflection of that. This is who he has become and it’s evident now.

Now we know that he takes over Mercer’s former social media house. It is really happening after the company has fundraised over $36 million dollars. Therefore, he should expect not only to acquire this, but he has to fund the operation too. Especially, if his a serious owner. This isn’t a quick or simple purchase…

A digital company needs liquidity and continued funds for it’s operations. Especially, if the company is lacking revenue streams or such. With the viability and the amount of users. I have a hard time seeing Parler becoming profitable. Unless, Ye can unleash new crowds on the site. This is something time will tell, but don’t get it confused.

This is and will be a parental advisory page for the right-wing. Ye will not change this. His inheriting Mercer’s page and now his stepping into a new avenue. Peace.
