Opinion: I don’t expect Dictators to fall, unless serious changes befall on them!

After Zimbabwe, people have started to blaze the horns and expecting other dictators to fall. Well, I am humbly saying, I hope so, but don’t expect so. Unless, there are vital changes, unless they lose their support and their weapons behind them. If the support and armies are not behind them, than the Robert Mugabe story can be repeated elsewhere. But it will be different from state to state, from president to president. As each President has built around a stronger or weaker system of orders, strength of institutions and also personal cult around themselves. We also know they are using their myths and their state media to serve their interests.

President’s that I will honor with a mention are Joseph Kabila, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, Pierre Nkurunziza, Faure Gnassingbe, Hailemariam Desalegn, Isias Afwerki, Omar Al-Bashir, Idriss Deby, Paul Biya, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasango, Mahamadou Issoufou, Paul Kagame and Ismaïl Omar Guelleh. These are a list of honorable mentions, there several more that could be put on a list, but these was the first to mention, if feel someone is left behind. Please leave that in the comments down below(I know that sounds like a Youtuber, but I had to take inspiration from somewhere).

All of these men in their republics knows that they use power and security organizations to quell, silence and oppress their opposition. They are keeping control of the state reserves and has their party as filled of loyalists and cronies. All of this states are militarized, there is state controlled media and has various of different rules. They are strict and controlling from the state houses and the freedom in these states are limited. The state and business are usually connected with the President and his family. If not there are cronies who also have business and fortunes. So the dictators are for the moment having control and making sure the people is not uprising.

What we can know is that if these dictators take it to far and the fear for the repercussion from the state. So as long as the public and opposition are detained for arbitrary arrests and citizens hurt after demonstrations. While the state reserves and donor funds are eaten by the elite, while the countries are kept poor. As long as the republic’s are poor, than they still need more foreign donors and supply. So it is good for the dictators to keep their nations poor, as the Western and Multi-National Organization can continue to supply them with non-binding funds. That they are free to use on military and one themselves, instead of building institutions and good governance, it is all controlled by the one man on top and his loyal subjects around.

This is well known and for different reasons, these men should always worry about their decisions and their capacity to rule. Nothing last for ever. There will be some who might want to take their place and replace them. Someone will always be opposition and fight for democratic values, but sooner or later they will succeed. It is just a matter of how and how long it takes.

They are all based on strong military control, even minor specialized groups who are like Presidential Guards/Republican Guards or Special Forces. These are controlled usually by either relations or trusted generals, who are loyal not to turn against the President. The Presidents promotes and demotes leaders inside their armies often, the same in the police force/service to compensate and also to make sure the old guard of warrior and soldiers who fought for the President. Will not be seen as a threat or have power to ever topple him. That is why they are trying to distance themselves from the ones who brought them to power, because they will know their inner-tactics; that is why the stalwarts and historicals are more public personas, but not people of power. Even if they did have so in past.

That is done to secure the role and secure the commander-in-chief, even the President always need the historical battles and origin story to keep himself relevant and prove his place. He don’t needs ones who fought with him and his cause. They will just ask for checks- and balances on the promises made in liberation and in the battles against previous oppressors. That is why they are not entangled with these, unless they give them phony medals and grant money, to hopefully silence them.

Still, with all the protocol and strength of the army, they are still vulnerable as they know this too. That why they are calculating and trying to find out the next person who wants their role and their positions. Which is why there are changes in their cabinets, Vice-Presidents and Prime Ministers. Until they find persons and people they trust to not ambitions to overpower them. Also, they want to stop other MPs and other voices to install hope in the population and to create popularity that is bigger then their personal cult and their teachings.

However, there are ways to bring them down by actually not fearing the state security organizations, waiting for the President to act swiftly without feeling the tensions within his own party. Like President Robert Mugabe did recently. If not actually know you have lost all legitimacy in recent elections, but not willing to step down like Yayha Jammeh. That was ECOWAS and Senegal who intervened on behalf of the newly elected President. Which was the reason for the dictator ending in Exile recently.

Therefore, we have to hope for leaders who have capacity to capture the pulse of the people who are oppressed, of the ones who are marginalized and the ones who are captured by the state. Since the dictatorships doesn’t give up easy, unless there is no escape. History has learned us that and therefore, the lesson needs to be learned. We in our time cannot give in and accept that the liberty, freedom and government are taken by one elite and one ruler.

Certainly, it will not be easy, the fight against oppressors will cost and take time. That is proven time in and time out. The same will happen here, but with their aging and their lack of control. Their trust in family members and trying to create family dynasties. They might fall like Mugabe. Even if some are sons of former presidents. Doesn’t mean they can continue owning the title and running the state. It is proven that is not accepted and that is all within reason. This is what happen in Zimbabwe and we understand if similar events transpire elsewhere.

In the end it is all up to the public for change, the public reactions and their demonstrations, boycotts and their inner works to dismantle the oppressive dictatorship. Often the international community and international counterparts will not intervene as they wants mineral resources and other commodities for cheap; and as long one partner can be bribed, the workers and resources don’t need to paid-in-full or proper. This prospers foreign investments and multi-national companies. This is not well-spoken of, but should be revealed, as it is so often shady dealings with resources sold or land to investors from these dictators. They are funding the state and military, that together with aid are keeping these regimes afloat.

With all this in mind, we have to continue the struggle against these men that are keeping people hostage and taking away freedom and liberty, freedom to assembly and to be activists. They are licensing and authorizing businesses and if people are allowed to have parties and civil society organizations. This are all in different ways, the same with the media and other public ways of sharing information. These are often controlled like all else are in society and in the republic.

We can just wonder if we let this repeat itself, let them continue to oppress and letting these multi-national corporations earn on this forms of government. If we can accept that aid and multi-national organizations keeping budgets and keeping them as leaders, because if these leaders would struggle more economically, more loyalists and more cronies would actually deflect quicker. Also, that if the economy struggle and the security organizations are not paid-off. They could instead of turning their weapons against the public, they could turn against the government/regime. So there are many ways together with public uprising that is needed to topple these dictatorships. Peace.

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.

Wisconsin legislators legalize toddlers carrying guns while hunting!

You can go a long way with a smile. You can go a lot farther with a smile and a gun.” Al Capone

New Law in Wisconsin:

A person who is at least 10 years of age may hunt in this state

without obtaining a certificate of accomplishment under s. 29.591 and may, while

hunting, possess or control a firearm if all of the following apply:

10Section 4. 29.592 (3) of the statutes is repealed” (2017 ASSEMBLY BILL 455, Wisconsin State Legislation, 3rd November 2017).

I don’t know about you, but find something wrong. How old should a brother or sister be in the field, in the forest or in the wild with a shot-gun, rifle or semi-auto to train to shoot deer? The Wisconsin State legislation and their comrades are far off the reasonable doubt. This sort of legislation are only made to cause havoc and cause more ill-advised deaths. That kids are allowed to carry arms in the wild, in the forest and without any certificate. They are not even licensed to carry it, but can by all means carry it.

This is an insane law that has been passed in the United States of America and as local law in Wisconsin. That a mentor or a parent can let the smallest toddler carry a gun and arms. This is when they are going hunting, but still, this is not a good state of mind. Teaching the kids that these acting like toys and powerful weapons can hurt people and not only deer’s.

It is hard to understand and grasp how the state legislature could pass this sort of laws. As if they we’re fighting zombies, ghosts or marshmallows. They are surely in a cozy relationship with National Rifle Associations and all other lobbyist who supports weaken gun-control and give total freedom. Even when it get ridiculous, like this one.

Its mind boggling that they could support this and use the state resources to support this. That 10 years old wasn’t old enough to carry it at hunting. They could have had no problems extending the age bracket until a person is more development and is more critical about their actions as human being. That would have made sense, but abolishing age limit and making it possible for uncritical and playful kids to carry guns while hunting. Who can cause a lot of harm, because they don’t understand the consequences or the possible damage of a gun-shot and a close range bullet.

That is what is worrying… and it shouldn’t be a possibility for a toddler and child without training and licensed weapon owner can carry one. This is just crazy and out of this world. Wisconsin state is clearly ready to see more hunting accidents and more kids without understand getting fellow hunting party members hurt by gunshots. Not because we want to see more of that, but because the allowed this and the toddlers would legally carry it while hunting.

Just eat the words: “toddlers would legally carry it while hunting”, it shouldn’t be, but it is! Peace.
