Opinion: Kanye is too far gone…

We’ve dealt with bigger problems than these stupidities” (…) “But, you know, the communists blame the Jews for being capitalists, the capitalists blame the Jews for being communists” (…) “You have a problem, blame the Jews. It’s old stuff. It shouldn’t have any place in civilised discourse” – Benjamin Netanyahu (Interview on Bill Maher’s HBO Show, 14.10.2022).

The recent Drink Champs Interview with Kanye Omari West aka Ye aka Yeezy has shown me that his a lost one. Certainly, his just showing his tropes, ignorance and lack of concern to his rhetoric in concern to the Jews. Just like speaking about them this wouldn’t be right to do about African-Americans or anyone else. It is just showing his character and how blissfully unaware he is.

In the end, it isn’t like Kanye needs me or my support. I used to listen his to music and bought several of his CDs. The last one of the trilogy was the Graduation. The three first LPs are mind-blowing and relevant to this day. That showed his craft together with the beats he produced for others like Jay-Z and The Game to mention a few. It isn’t like Kanye doesn’t have qualities and has delivered a proper body of work. Yes, he has and his a billionaire for a reason.

However, this isn’t about his musical abilities, his way of being able to monetize his fandom and create products like shoes or clothing-line. In those fields he has succeeded and been able to sell overpriced white-tees for that matter. That’s a “win” and he can be commended for that. Nevertheless, I will not sing for the choir.

The tweet that got him banned on Twitter was justified. He continued and pursuit it further on Drink Champs. The little snippets of the Tucker Carlson interview wasn’t making things better either. Both these interviews only shows how his using ancient conspiracies and rhetoric against the Jews. Therefore, his not making things better, but worse actually.

If you want to self-inflict wounds and later call yourself a victim, be my guest, but that’s a work of fool and not of a brilliant man. Neither was Ye or Kanye speaking of profound truths at the Drink Champs. His rambling and pinning the Jews onto everything. That’s not new in history or rhetoric, which we haven’t heard before. That’s why it was easy for the former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Kanye is actually becoming a “Clayton Bigsby” character of sorts. The mannerism and the way he speaks. He could just be the fictional character in real life. It is tragic that the character made by Dave Chappelle can be pinned on Kanye in 2022. However, this is where we are and obviously Kanye is a lost one.

He don’t need my support or any anything from me. His a billionaire and will live large for the rest of his life. The recent controversies will not matter to him in the long-run. He has had moments like in the past and later released new content. We should expect something similar in the future too. Nevertheless, it’s becoming tiring and there is no redeeming factors.

No doubt he will have supporters and people buying into the enigma called “Ye” but, the reality still remains, that he has lost a lot of fans and former listeners by his outbursts or problematic takes. That’s why his not so regarded is certain circles. I also have an issue when a person like him wants to enlighten people, when his proud of never reading books. If he wants a true deeper understanding of a topic or a historical fact. That’s the way to go and he should know better, but his ego is to big to do so. Peace.

Opinion: Borrell preaches European Exceptionalism…

Oh gosh… this is going to be brutal… that a grown man said this and didn’t think better about his analogy is obvious. The Josep Borrell is the Vice-President in charge of coordinating the external action of the European Union. This is a role his had since December 2019 and his a seasoned Spanish politician.

So, in the mission letter it was even stated this:

Cooperating and working with others is what our Union is all about. We believe in multilateralism because it works. It makes us safer, more prosperous and better able to make the most of the major transitions of our times. This is why Europe will always lead the way when it comes to upholding and, where necessary, updating the rules based global order.” (Mission letter, 01.12.2019).

Certainly, Borrell haven’t taken the multilateralism to heart, which can be defined as: “Multilateralism is often defined in opposition to bilateralism and unilateralism. Strictly speaking, it indicates a form of cooperation between at least three States. Nevertheless, this “quantitative” definition is not sufficient to capture the nature of multilateralism. Indeed, it is not simply a practice or a question of the number of actors involved. It involves adherence to a common political project based on the respect of a shared system of norms and values. In particular, multilateralism is based on founding principles such as consultation, inclusion and solidarity. Its operation is determined by collectively developed rules that ensure sustainable and effective cooperation. In particular, they guarantee all actors the same rights and obligations by applying themselves continuously (and not on a case-by-case basis, depending on the issue handled)” (https://multilateralism100.unog.ch/about, 2020).

So with that in mind, we just have to read the regressive and partly astonishing speech from Borrell, which he should have considered never to say or even speak at a function. This is just pure European Exceptionalism. There is no denying in that and his mission is to believe in multilateralism, which is a stark contrast to that.

Here we go:

Here, Bruges is a good example of the European garden. Yes, Europe is a garden. We have built a garden. Everything works. It is the best combination of political freedom, economic prosperity and social cohesion that the humankind has been able to build – the three things together. And here, Bruges is maybe a good representation of beautiful things, intellectual life, wellbeing. The rest of the world – and you know this very well, Federica – is not exactly a garden. Most of the rest of the world is a jungle, and the jungle could invade the garden. The gardeners should take care of it, but they will not protect the garden by building walls. A nice small garden surrounded by high walls in order to prevent the jungle from coming in is not going to be a solution. Because the jungle has a strong growth capacity, and the wall will never be high enough in order to protect the garden. The gardeners have to go to the jungle. Europeans have to be much more engaged with the rest of the world. Otherwise, the rest of the world will invade us, by different ways and means. Yes, this is my most important message: we have to be much more engaged with the rest of the world. We are privileged people. We built a combination of these three things – political freedom, economic prosperity, social cohesion – and we cannot pretend to survive as an exception. It has to be a way of supporting the others facing the big challenges of our time” – Joseph Borrell (European Diplomatic Academy: Opening remarks by High Representative Josep Borrell at the inauguration of the pilot programme, 13.10.2022).

He clearly didn’t get the memo or in the hour of need had to make an analogy that is just infuriating and insulting. The sort of tenacity and hubris. His a supposed diplomat, who has a mission that is deemed into multilateralism. This speech is the opposite and is pure European Exceptionalism. It is disrespectful for the rest of world. In addition to the mentioned paragraph earlier in the Mission letter, I just feel like adding this as well:

To be a global leader, the Union needs to take decisions in a faster and more efficient way. We must overcome unanimity constraints that hamper our foreign policy. When putting forward proposals, you should seek to use the clauses in the Treaties that allow certain decisions on the common foreign and security policy to be adopted by qualified majority voting” (Mission Letter, 01.12.2019).

He was told to “overcome unanimity constraints that hamper our foreign policy” which this sort of speech isn’t doing. This speech is causing harm and showing an arrogance, which will not be welcomed in the “global south” or outside the continent. The ideals and the analogy is only showing a sentiment, which could resemble the reasoning for colonization in the past. Because, we in Europe are the best and we should be afraid of the ones outside the European continent. That’s deeply disrespectful and could be mentioned as racist.

Because, this is like the biblical “Garden of Eden” and someone coming in to destroy it. That’s not a good look and the European Union diplomat should reconsider his stance. This is not the story he wants to be on his name. Especially, if his supposed to follow the Mission Letter that was written to him in the first place. The European Commission should be shell-shocked by this, because this is doing them no good.

Borrell should consider himself here. It has been causing a stir online and rightfully so. It is distasteful and I thought European Union had come further. This is backtracking and into territories, which the EU don’t want to associated with. Peace.

Ethiopia: Update on the Tripartite Alliance Offensive in Tigray Part II

Lieutenant General Tadesse Werede, the Commander-in Chief of the Tigray Defense Forces confirmed Eritrean forces are in Sheraro, northwestern Tigray, where the rebels said they were resisting a major offensive that Ethiopia and Eritrean troops launched last month on the region. In a statement Thursday, Tigray forces accused the air force of neighboring Eritrea of striking Adi Daero and killing “a number of civilians.” Eritrean forces are fighting alongside Ethiopia’s military in Tigray” (Garowe Online, 01.10.2022).

The bloody and genocidal war is continuing in Northern Ethiopia and especially in the Tigray region. The Tripartite Alliance is targeting the Tigray Defence Force from several fronts, but the alliance haven’t had a huge break-through. Considering the share amount of manpower, mechanical divisions and air-superiority. The Tripartite Alliance should by this offensive launched in September be able to occupy Mekelle by now. However, we are seeing they are still shelling Shire and only getting towards Alamata inside the Tigray region. That’s shocking after all this fighting and forced conscriptions in Eritrea.

The Eritrean Defence Force and Ethiopian National Defence Force must be exhausted or lack well-trained personnel at this point. Because, the armies should together with the militias be able to forge a way into Tigray. It is just showing how they are lacking both the moral, the cleverness or the totality of the war to succeed. They are more into creating massacres, bloodshed and revenging old wounds. Than actually “win” a war. That’s why innocent civilians are brutally killed and no one left to breathe. That’s also reports from sources from within Tigray in the recent days. Rumours of thousands of citizens killed by the invaders. Just so the Tripartite alliance can be proud of their “achievement”.

In addition, Garowe Online had this too:

A source in Eritrea said the authorities were trying to “stir emotions” at public meetings, linking their military intervention to “the existence and sovereignty of the nation”, and saying the TPLF “must be buried”. Last week, fighting was reported in many borders areas, including Adigrat, Rama, Shiraro, and Zalambesa. But many Eritreans have resisted the lasted call-up, saying they do not want to die in what they see as a needless war” (Garowe Online – ‘Eritrea soldiers mobilize civilians to join Ethiopia’s Tigray conflict – sources’ 13.10.2022).

It doesn’t help when these sorts of things happens too:

Leaflets have been distributed in Tigray since yesterday to the people to save themselves from the TPLF genocide. A final offensive is expected in the near future to destroy the remnants of the TPLF tyrant” (Naqfa Press, 15.10.2022).

You know the International Community is addressing it now. When the UN Secretary General wrote a minor statement too. Though, the talk of ceasing the warfare and calls for withdrawal of Eritrean forces won’t do much. It is just singing to the choir… because the intent is already in Asmara and Addis Ababa. The leaflets and the sentiment are already well-known.

The Secretary-General is gravely concerned about the escalation of the fighting in Tigray, which is having a devastating impact on civilians in what is already a dire humanitarian situation. He calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities. The Secretary-General reiterates his full support to an African Union led mediation process and reaffirms the United Nations readiness to support the urgent resumption of talks in order to reach a lasting political settlement to this catastrophic conflict” (United Nations, 15.10.2022).

We will see how this goes, but I wouldn’t trust the Tripartite Alliance to stop. They are in it to conquer and destroy the Tigray region. The Tripartite Alliance is in it and they don’t mind the losses. They are there with a vengeance and no one should expect any peace anytime soon.

The armies are there to bury the whole region and ensure the end of Tigray as we know it. This isn’t about the sovereignty of Ethiopia, because that is violated on the regular by Eritrean forces. No, it is about consolidating power and revenge. That’s the sad reality and the Tigrayan people is suffering because of it. They are currently in the cross-fire and in the middle of the warfare… the victims and the ones who is dying….

However, no one should be shocked by this, when there is reports that the authorities of Eritrea wants “TPLF buried”. That is the message and it means the Tripartite Alliance wants to make the Tigray region a grave-yard. Peace.

Opinion: Trump’s deranged letter…

This memo is being written to express our anger, disappointment, and complaint that with all of the hundreds of millions of dollars spent on what many consider to be a Charade and Witch Hunt, and despite strong and powerful requests, you have not spent even a short moment on examining the massive Election Fraud that took place during the 2020 Presidential Election, and have targeted only those who were, as concerned American Citizens, protesting the Fraud itself” (Trump, 13.10.2022).

Former President Donald J. Trump has had yet another terrible week. It isn’t like any of the litigation or the cases against him are going smoothly or in his way. To the contrary everyone except for Judge Aileen Canon is actually following legal procedure and diligently judging according to the laws.

It has been announced that a unison and the full January 6th Committee has voted to subpoena Trump for a hearing. That comes after new evidence from the Secret Service and other entities has come to light. Which means the January 6th Committee has some questions they would like Trump to ask.

We know that the former President will stall, delay and do what he can to avoid judgment. That is his modus operandi. He does that in any case and for whatever reason. The man will even fly into a hurricane to avoid a summons and the legal proceedings hanging over his head. That’s the sort of fella Trump has turned himself into.

The letter Trump in response to the January 6th Committee is the most obnoxious and bonkers fairytale any previous head of state has ever written and publicly released. There is a reason why this letter hasn’t gotten support or a thumbs up from even the high ranking officials within the Republican Party. They don’t know where to start or even where to assess this mess.

The MAGA Republicans and the Mike Lindell’s of the world will take this facts or even as profound as the gospels. However, anyone who reads it should be in shock and awe. What is striking is that Trump is just ranting and dropping all knowledge he has of the dubious court-cases, which was dismissed on lack of merit or lack of evidence even. The conspiracies of an election rigging has been long debunked and the letter is only furthering his cause of disinformation and right-out lies about it all.

A large percentage of American Citizens, including almost the entire Republican Party, feel that the Election was Rigged and Stolen (because they have seen the determinative evidence, some of which is attached to this letter). No work was done by the Committee on Election Fraud. We, and a huge portion of the American people, simply asked that it be a part of your Committee’s work. It wasn’t” (Trump, 13.10.2022).

Cult45 will move to this and they will dance. He makes it seem like nothing was done, but the laws and the electoral disputes was tested. That’s why there was so many frivolous petitions to the courts and some of Trump’s lawyers are even disbarred, because they signed off to these lawsuits. So, it’s really all nonsense from the former President. Who can only project and cannot riddle to the facts of reality, which his so far away from at this point.

He ends the long rant with this: “The people of this Country will not stand for unequal justice under the law, or Liberty and Justice for some. Election Day is coming. We demand answers on the Crime of the Century” (Trump, 13.10.2022).

Trump can act like he has the answers and is a victim, but obviously that is far from the truth. He was inciting violence and trying to overturn an election. Initially this was an attempt of a coup d’etat and they would have enforced their will to give Trump a second term. That was the end-game and this lost out. Showing what the people and allies of Trump was willing to do. By now there are both Oath Keepers and Proud Boys who have pleaded guilty of sedition or conspiracy to overthrow an elected government. That is initially accepting guilt for treason. When people affiliated with groups who was part of the “Stop the Steal” and the Insurrection on the 6th January 2021. You know Trump has a bad case, as he was the ring-leader and the one that would get the crown, if they had succeeded. This is why… the letter is just incriminating him and can be used as evidence of wilfully participation in it all. It was also written when he was a private citizen and in the public domain. So, attorney-client privilege isn’t working and neither is executive privilege active. Therefore, Trump has lost out by doing this, instead of being wise or remaining silent. Peace.
