Opinion: Mao has given up…

We must clarify our historical fundamentals. Our credibility must be beyond reproach on issues like human rights and good governance, on private enterprise and economic prosperity for all citizens, old messages do not work anymore. We must not churn out party messages as if we were addressing a 1960s electorate. We must seek to get elected because the best government is the best politics. Those who when given the chance to lead, lead well will continue to be re-elected again and again”Norbert Mao (Muhamadi Matovu – ‘Mao: “DP should avoid mantra of regime change”’ 07.02.2022, Nile Post Uganda).

It’s official … Democratic Party President Norbert Mao isn’t even shielding it or trying to hide his discomfort. No, his just open about his intentions and his just one-of-them. That’s why he appreciated by Lt. Gen. Muhoozi Kainerubaga recently. It makes so much sense, as his compromised and doesn’t even want to challenge status quo.

When you want to avoid regime change and spread new messages… then your clearly not active or seeking the electorate. It is a reason why Dr. Kizza Besigye run on ‘Defiance’ and Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine ‘We are Removing a Dictator’. As the DP President don’t want to do this or follow any of their patterns.

It’s like Mao wants to follow Joseph Kabuleta or others before him. This sort of message is useless, when you don’t want to takeover or have a peaceful transition. The NRM is never delivering that to a man of Mao’s stature.

Mao haven’t proven a track-record, neither has party proven anything the recent election. Neither with MPs or even his Presidential Elections. No, they have been abysmal. So, him speaking of the old ways not working. It is right… is ways of ushering in Amama Mbabazi and other tricks to spoil the electorate.

Therefore, Mao seem stale and without an anchor. Because, he don’t know how to move forward or even be really relevant. That’s why his speaking up against the ones who fighting the dictatorship and the ruling regime. The ones who wants to get rid of it and the root problems of the state.

In this instance it is like Mao cut of his brain and only saw envelopes. Because, if he has seen the popularity and the rise of the National Unity Platform or Forum for Democratic Change for that matter. It wasn’t because they spoke about direct governance or taxes, but about a peaceful transition away from the NRM and Museveni. Which is what Mao is speaking up against now. Calling it old-school…

You have to address human rights and the basics, when the state is not fulfilling it. Neither when the basic rights or constitutional freedoms are there for the electorate. Indirectly what Mao is saying that theories and models matters more than that.

This is defeatism in the middle of a dictatorship. Mao cannot be taken serious as a choice or as an opposition leader. When he doesn’t seek to end the regime or challenge it. That is the message I’m getting. It’s pathetic … and the DP should just become a part of the NRM if that’s the case. Peace.

Somalia: Jubbaland State of Somalia – Press Release – Notice, Warning and Declaration (06.02.2022)

Opinion: The RNC have become the Cult45

T. Donald make Ronald Reagan turn in his grave

Season discrimination, sprinkle a little sage

Add a dash of hatred, eat it and get on stage

Chase it down with some poverty

Add a splash of the murder rate

Regurgitate it and spit out rage”Pharoahe Monch on th1rt3en – “Cult45” (2021)

Yesterday, the Republican National Committee did censor Cheney and Kinzinger for the reason that they are participating in the congressional investigation into the insurrection of the capital of 6th January 2021. As the evidence and growing knowledge of how the “Stop the Steal” and the whole apparatus in and around former President Donald J. Trump operated. This is showing how Trump and allies was willing to overturn the election or directly coup d’etat the government to have a second term.

Therefore, yesterday, the RNC and the GOP is telling the world that they are validating seditious and conspiring to overthrow an elected government. The RNC called the insurrection and violent attack on the capital as a “legitimate political discourse”. Which is mind-boggling and ridiculous. They are saying the Oath Keepers and the Ring-Wing domestic terrorists are apparently a way of debating policies now.

This is unmasking how the Republican party is acting towards it now. As the party and the RNC are maybe afraid of the losing the growing cult around Trump. As these are white-supremacists and racists are the core base. We knew Trump was in favour of these groups and could easily have joined a Ku Klux Klan (KKK) rally in the South. Because, his just that sort of character and defended the “Unite the Right” rally in 2017 in Charlottesville. With all of this in mind. There is no end in sight of how the Cult45 have strengthen itself.

Trump continues defending the 6th January 2021 and said he would pardon anyone detained for participation in the affair. This is validating and saying these folks are his supporters. Meaning the RNC and Trump is bound together by the same people now. They are accepting and standing behind the banners of people who are willing to destroy democracy and the integrity of the elections, as we know it.

That is the mere reality here. As the Congress was gearing up and ensuring the tallies was certified and the righteous winner was succeeding the previous administration. The Congress was about to ensure that. As the angry and violent crowds stormed the capital looking for Vice President Mike Pence and other influential elected representatives. So, it wasn’t like they we’re there to speak and enlighten the world about their cause. No, they we’re sent there on a mission and to stop the election from being certified. This after the other means of the Trump administration failed to overturn it. They tried with fake electorates and others who didn’t complete the mission for a second term.

Clearly, the RNC and Trump haven’t forgotten about this. The Republicans and the ones running the party is still all behind Trump. It is clear now for everyone that domestic terrorists and insurrections are political discourse within republicans. So, we can expect that rigging elections, cheat and destroy opponents is a Tuesday for these folks. They don’t care if they are dismantling democracy or elections, as long as their king or crowned princes are getting the throne. The RNC and Republicans for long has shown power matters more than policy. What is changing now is that they are saying coup d’etat’s is fine and the ones participating in them is one of them.

The ones who stand in the way of violent overthrowing an elected government is the problem. That shows how cultic the party have become. They have gone from being conservative and being the “law and order” party to become a party of fascist authoritarian cult dancing to every tune coming from Trump.

Who knew the party would be so shallow and be run in such a fashion? That it would inflict so much harm and damage. The RNC and Republican’s cannot speak of belief in democratic values or morals, when it is defending 6th January insurrection of the capitol and calls it legitimate political discourse. That is really a bleak sentiment and shows they don’t want it to have any political ramifications. As the ones who supported it wasn’t bad faith actors or supporting to topple an elected government. No, they were acting in good faith and was doing the bidding of any reasonable party, which is foolish at best.

This means the Republicans of today is for coup d’etat’s. That is the memo I am getting from this. They are doing it to defend their master and the one who everyone within is following. Trump got a grip of the party and his the voice of it. That’s why the RNC validates him and goes after the ones who defies his path.

The Republicans cannot speak of caring about rule of law or justice. When they are standing by and defending the ones who participated in the insurrection. That is the reality of this and it’s a sinister place to go. They are willing to be like this and live with this lie. Just to appease one man and his delusional ego. That’s why they are a cult and his persona is now bigger than the party itself. No matter what Trump does… it will not have consequences for him internally. However, the party members have to follow his every move and defend his actions. Because that’s what they are doing currently.

When they are censuring someone for doing the right thing. While standing behind the people who are willing to destroy the democratic institutions just to have their guy on the throne. They are aiding and comforting the ones who did the insurrection, which is breaching the 14th Amendment Section 3 of the Constitution of the Republic. These words shouldn’t be needed to be said, but it seems the obvious isn’t enough at this point of time.

Alas, the ones behind Trump and aiding the insurrection should face legal trouble. Not only the Oath Keepers and their associates. Not only the ones captured on the Congress cameras, but anyone who participated in the planning ahead and ensured the rally went like it did. This was a planned effort and had high ranking officials supporting it too. Not just angry bewildered civilians who knew no better. No, this was a final operation and last resort to overthrow an elected government. That’s why it’s vital to go to the bottom of it and find out about who was involved. Not only from a criminal investigation stand-point, but to ensure the ones who was involved isn’t representatives or public officials. As if any of the elected representatives was participating in it. They should not only face the loss of office, but possible criminal prosecution like any ordinary civilian who walked into the chambers of the Congress that day. Therefore, the truth needs to be revealed and anyone who is sane cannot describe this as a legitimate political discourse. That is a lie and that’s the lie of Donald, which the RNC is willing to sell their political base. Peace.

Opinion: Kusasira fell off the bandwagon very quickly

I have lost everything because of my party NRM,,there is alot of unfairness in NRM as a party..you work hard and be committed to everything in the party for the betterment but never to be appreciated..I really sacrificed alot during the last campaigns where I even went for bank loans and started projects as a way of motivating the youths as a tactic of fighting the pressure group that had arose(NUP).Why NRM..I have lost alot because of you.. business..friends and fans bkoz of choosing you as my party…I thought president MUSEVENI was the commandant and his was always respected by his representatives but then it’s vise versa bkoz for whoever he directs to perform they do the opposite..” (Kusasira, 29.01.2022).

It wasn’t a long time ago, as Cathrine Kusasira was appointed as a Presidential Advisor in 2019 ahead of the 2021 polls to takeaway and be a musician favourable for the Yellow and be vocal voice to the ghetto and the ones who would follow Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine. That was an deliberate act of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) as a way of swaying the public and using the image of her and Butchaman ahead of the 2021 General Elections.

However, it is now January 2022 and a year since the polls, which means the need and use of Kusasira is up. Her own office and space is maybe out of date. She was appointed as the Presidential Advisor on Kampala Affairs, got an office, a vehicle and a salary. It was to boost the ego and the party own ability to be viable in the ghetto, but also in the slums of Kampala. Alas, that was something, which wasn’t built on a mountain, but on sand.

Kusasira is now crying out loud. She is on social media calling out for money and getting refunded for her loans. The loans she took out … to support youth and projects on her own merit. Which means that the NRM wasn’t involved and neither the state. Yes, she was a Presidential Advisor and a member of the NRM. However, she did it all alone and on her own accord. Therefore, the singer and advisor should carry the blame and the debt on her own.

It is really pathetic the way she post about this yesterday and today on Facebook. She is looking rather ignorant and was high on her own supply, as she thought everything would be covered by the state eventually. As she was the Presidential Advisor and did so as a state representative. However, it seems that she had to clarify yesterday’s statement, which only making it more obvious.

I did it because I love my party so it was for swagger this is dotcom generation infact I used that money to buy welding machines that I distributed to youth from different parts of our country this intended to have a good image of our Government to our youth who were being driven to bad acts by selfish minded people during election period who ever is using this propaganda is not real, the car the mafia usually talk about it was a gift from the president, I know mafia must come back with such videos to tint the message with in my recent post (kisajjagwe ne Nekikazi gwe) yo the real first enemies of NRM in fact yo the real enemies to my family and the orphans I take care of I will not keep silent to the propaganda being accelerated by the idiotic Mafia so I assure you that I won’t keep quite see my properties go like that” (Kusasira, 30.01.2022).

What Kusasira should know… is that she’s just showing what we all have said all along. That she was a pawn and a tool, which would loose value. As the President and his team only invited her in to be in the way and gain attention away for the People Power Movement. She was supposed to inspire and elevate a part of the public, which the NRM has lost. However, that wasn’t something she was able to or had the grasp of doing.

Kusasira just became another mercenary for the yellow brigade. It like she cannot handle the truth and think she was more special. She was picked for a purpose and that was it all. Neither was she elected or had the capacity to be on a ticket. No, she was just a pawn and got played.

Kusasira seemingly didn’t get that and thought she was a unique maverick of a politician all of a sudden. Like she suddenly could shadow-play and forge a narrative like other seasoned politicians, sorry but not sorry. She wasn’t one of them and the tide has turned.

Kusasira was used, played and is now left in the dark. She has played her part and have to dance to another tune now. Go back to her roots, since she’s not a grand standing or an important part of the NRM. Catherine should wake up and smell the coffee, but I doubt she ever will. Peace.
