Opinion: Norbert Mao will kick- and scream, but not act upon the indisciplined!

The Democratic Party in Uganda have been for long, seemed like a NRM-Lite. Like the sort of brew, that stinks like the ruling party, but isn’t the ruling the party. Feel me?

Therefore, the latest Presser with DP President Norbert Mao is coming of age. Like Whiskey if you like, its supposed to get better with age. However, in the case of Mao, it becomes more bitter and less flavourful. He might have more swagger in words and could resemble a vintage Tamale Mirundi. But his actions are weak.

Mao could have acted with swift actions against the “Good DP”, the DP’s whose in favour of the President. This being Fred Mukusa Mbidde or Florence Nakiwala Kiyingi. However, as he said he didn’t favour their positions nor sanctioned them. They should question their allegiance to the Party. However, that not been in question. Even Mbidde has been hanging around Museveni and the NRM Party in needed time before the vote of EALA MPs. Therefore, he did it too eat.

That was fun cases, as the DP Party getting prospects of power and reach. Even Mao didn’t directly sponsor or go behind it. He still hasn’t sanctioned it. His soft actions of letting it be and letting the MPs decides for themselves, where they want to be.

However, his words haven’t been soft after the People’s Government of Kizza Besigye was formed. The words against Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago and Betty Nambooze Bakireke has been fierce. The daggers was out and he was ready to get his game. Clearly, Mao was insulted that they went to work with Besigye. A man he has called loser, surely, because Mao favoured Mbabazi the NRM member gone “independent” over a real opposition. That is why just like Museveni, Mao throws shade on the ones affiliating with other opposition.

Surely, Mao sees it fine to hanging out with Abed Bwanika and other into the fold. But they are growing the stature or the stamina of the NRM-lite. Instead, they are showing a diminishing factor and lack of progress. The DP isn’t looking better.

Neither is Mao, whose been brash with words against others. But he himself wasn’t capable of even running as MP in the last General Election of 2016 and his stint on the 2011 trail wasn’t amazing either. Maybe, that is why he has become so friendly with NRM and Mbabazi. Because, he needs kingpins and support. That is why he is still entertained on the NBS Frontline, while the likes Mira Matembe was kicked-out. Surely, the man whose drinks soda at the Police Stations, while the others are behind bars for the same “inciting violence and disturbing the peace”. Therefore, he must have done something to someone to have that reach.

That is why his so inactive and enable of sort, but when his own men, his own members and people are acting in spite of the regime. He comes kicking and screaming, but was soft like dove when the Mzee came knocking. Seriously, there is something not adding up. However, then again, the DP acts and talks like NRM-lite.

Therefore, he has to strike at the ones who forcefully shows finesse and goes against the dictatorship. Not just mere puppets for the facade. If Masaka’s own, Mathias Mpuga Nsamba showed gravitas like during the Walk to Work. That would be a living hell for the DP President. Who surely thinking of how to run as an MP or Presidential Candidate after the failure of last go-around. As his party is flinched between to stations and not sure where to take-off.

What is clearly showing is that Norbert Mao. Isn’t the enforcer or the deciding anything. He has a microphone and a office, but not using it. Because, people makes decisions on their own and don’t have to follow party line. Neither, if its being a GOOD DP or a BAD DP. That doesn’t matter.

This saga will continue, especially in the run-up to 2021. Mao got to make headlines and act like he does something. Even when he in reality does nothing. Just let them say and speak their peace. Not that it matters, as long as he doesn’t serve time or feel the stench of tear-gas while politicking. Peace.

Zambia: UPND – Press Statement – Sesheke has Demonstrated that Votes Can Defeat Bullets and Pangas (15.02.2019)

A huge fire is started by a small spark and the people of Sesheke are heroes and pace setters in liberating this Country from the jaws of poverty and corruption. Votes have defeated machine guns and pangas. The wise leave the stage when at least a few fools are able to clap for them. Never leave the stage when it’s too late for even fools to clap for you. Do you expect farmers that you haven’t given fertilizer to clap for you? Call for early elections, KK did that in the interest of the Country.

It’s clear that when people are stretched to the limit they do not only lose respect for you but become fearless too. The just ended by election in Sesheke should be an eye opener for PF to accept that people have had enough of nonsense and no amount of intimidation will stop them from liberating themselves. Sesheke today is the most famous town in Zambia.

The way PF has been conducting itself any wise leader should have foreseen that one day the will of the people will defeat the guns. People who liberated this Country did so with only stones against the blazing guns of the colonialist. When we say that people are not happy with the way you have looted this Country you don’t listen until you met the people of Sesheke with a clear message that enough is enough. God bless the people of Sesheke.

A similar thing almost happened in Ndola when you attempted to arrest HH. And if you continue being so careless you may just start something that will be too big for you to handle. The problem is that you are cheated by people eating with you the proceeds of crime and you conclude that Zambians are happy with your corrupt leadership. I have never seen a stubborn leadership like the one in PF. Yes, you have been weaving a web of deceit and very soon you will be caught in it.

Ba PF you know too well that you cannot win an election without violence and confusion and yet you want to dare people in 2021. As you continue covering your corruption you will just be committing more and more atrocities against the Zambian people, but very soon you will be answerable for your crimes against the Zambians. NALI KWEBELE TABULAPO.

We have said it before that the ending for any dictator is disastrous, and yours is not different. The dialogue and the Church that you are despising now, you will embrace it once in prison. Stop cheating yourselves that Zambians are very docile, all what Zambians do is to give you enough rope to hang yourself. The day will come when you will be saying to yourself that you wish you listened.

The Cult of Patriotic Front: The Saga of Harry Kalaba!

Certainly, the recent days haven’t been good for the Zambian President Edgar Lungu, whose on the ride for his third term in power in the Republic. As he has had issues within the Republic. Within his own party.

This being Harry Kalaba MP, who has been expelled from the Patriotic Front (PF) on the 27th January 2019. Therefore, the PF has gone nuts, as Kalaba has resigned as MP from his constituency. This was done the 29th January as he would not challenge the expulsion from the ruling regime.

We know this is hurting the PF, as all MPs who are joining the party of Kalaba are called cockroaches and lack vision in life. That is what even written about them as the news was passed in the end of January 2019.

We know that this is hurting the Chief Strategist of PF and founding member Yosi Miti wrote this on the 1st February 2019: “Harry Kalaba’ s Departure A Good Riddance And It will Help to Expose Treacherous And Political Mercenaries In PF Who have been Working with him in the dark” (…) “Kalaba is just playing to the gallery he doesn’t truly believe in what he is preaching. We dont hate Kalaba as an individual but we hate his treacherous behaviour” (…) “Infact Dean was in his own class.Kalaba is just a good orator and that , no one can subtract from him but equally Nevers Mumba is actually even better than him. So this euphoria we are witnessing now will die a natural death soon as it is just a mere political drama performed to the hungry audience scavenging from the empty bins” (Yosi Miti, 01.02.2019).

When his former party is writing that quickly about him in this way. A man who they had no trouble having in the Cabinet, who served as Foreign Minister between March 2014 until January 2018. As he gotten expelled and resigned as MP, as he plans to stand as Presidential Candidate for the DP.

The Opposition has come in defence of the former high-ranking official within the PF, on the 3rd February 2019 with this statement: “ We are well aware that the Patriotic Front has woken up some long-forgotten politicians, from their political slumber, with the aim of trying to increase the number of voices that are advocating for a ZCID led dialogue process. The main purpose of these hired political elements is to muddy the waters and bring about confusion regarding this dialogue process, on behalf of the PF, without the PF itself getting its hands dirty” (PRESS STATEMENT – OPPOSITION ALLIANCE RESPONSE TO ALLEGATIONS BY THE PF ALLIANCE, 03.02.2019).

Clearly, the PF and Lungu are not used to this, that the they are back-stabbing each other and not only aiming at the opposition, whose usually in the way. The PF is really ambusing Kalaba, as the Ministry of Home Affairs confirmed on the 4th February 2019, that they have banned the Democratic Party. Meaning him standing as a Presidential Candidate for an illegal party by the law.

The PF is really showing their disgraceful tactics against a former ally. They cannot handle, therefore, calling him all names and attributed, while also, in the end. PF is also taking his livelihood.

The PF is really just showing merciless tactics and their despotic rule by doing this to Kalaba. If he was a nobody, a former comrade, then hey should know how to run against him. Not silence him. They are just cowards themselves who has to all legal means to stop the opportunity to have anyone of character running against Lungu in 2021, except of Hakainde Hichilema, the leader of United Party for National Development (UPND).

The PF are trying their best to divide and rule. They are using force and expecting Kalaba to just stand down, be bowing his knees and kissing the ring of forgiveness from Lungu. Because, everyone supposed to love ECL. Everyone is supposed to think like ECL and be behind him. Nothing else is to anticipate. In Zambia, everyone are his subjects and his servants. The ones questioning that, are liable for legal threat and trouble.

This sort of defence of the ruling regime and their acts is cult like, they are a self-obsessed tribe, whose seeing themselves as superior. Everyone else is foolish not to follow and trust their hearts, minds and political life in the hands of ECL. Because there is all solutions, they should not sway away from him and his ways. Surely, they are writing praises, songs and myths of ECL. As ECL are the saviour and mortal God, someone who nobody should dismiss or even go up against. He might look like a mere mortal, but he has a godly touch that you only taste if your part of the PF. So, don’t dare challenge that.

That is the game of PF: That is the game of Lungu. That is why they called it treacherous and called them cockroaches, which is really showing their ugly side. Their real side and their lack of protocol, when people differ in opinions and picks different ways in life. Peace.

PS: Kalaba shouldn’t believe if Shepard Bushiri told him, that he had a vision or whatever for him to become President in 2021. That was surely just to sell more anointing oil or get a bigger donation from the big-man. Surely, Harry should have kept his head cool and not gone out with that. As the Prophet is behind bars for fraud, which is not a good look, as the Political is happening.

PS II: The Story of Kalaba is far from over, as long as Lungu’s PF is in power. ECL might thinks this make him look wise and make him look powerful. PF and ECL looks foolish instead and uncertain about their power. When they have to play Kalaba like this. As he plans life outside the ruling regime. That is what this showing. This saga is not OVER. Kalaba will be there and as long as they play these games, his name will even hit international headlines. Just like it has done with their acts against HH. Peace Part II.

USA: Reps. Waters, Schiff, and Engel letter to Treasury Secretary Mnuchin on document to lift sanctions on Russian Oligarch Oleg Deripaska and Company (29.01.2019)

Russian Probe: Another indictment, this time its Roger Stone!

Certainly, the associates around President Donald J. Trump Campaign Team is in legal trouble. As the Special Counsel Robert Mueller are able to find criminal activity and illegal activity done by the Presidents Men. This is not news, but the web around is shutting down. Individual 1 has more and more people around him, whose either charged, plea deal or even indicted themselves. Therefore, he cannot say anymore, that it is lie. Since, the Court Evidence and Verdicts in Court are telling the story itself.

What is striking now, is that this has been in the waiting, as Roger Stone is following the likes of Paul Manafort, Gen. Michael Flynn, George Papadopolous, Richard Gates, Alex Van Der Zwaan and Michael Cohen. All of these are already in the system and on various charges. These are all people who worked together and was trusted men in the Presidential Candidate. Also, the reality, the Cohen was his Personal Lawyer/Fixer, Manafort the Trump Campaign Manager, Cohen the Campaign Aide, Flynn the National Security adviser and Papadopolous the Foreign Policy Adviser. Van Der Zwaan was connected with Gates and Manafort, who lied about that, therefore served time for doing so.

When you see all of that, sudden there comes another person into the picture. As all of them have done something criminal. Lying to congress or to Law Enforcement. Whatever it is, this shows what sort of men, the President is associated with. Men who has no issues with breaking the law. Now another of his close associates are in legal trouble. Today’s indictment says it all.

It says that Roger Stone did: “ During the summer of 2016, STONE spoke to senior Trump Campaign officials about Organization 1 and information it might have had that would be damaging to the Clinton Campaign. STONE was contacted by senior Trump Campaign officials to inquire about future releases by Organization 1” (…) “During his HPSCI testimony, STONE was asked, “So you have no emails to anyone concerning the allegations of hacked documents . . . or any discussions you have had with third parties about [the head of Organization 1]? You have no emails, no texts, no documents whatsoever, any kind of that nature?” STONE falsely and misleadingly answered, “That is correct. Not to my knowledge.” (…) “In truth and in fact, STONE had sent and received numerous emails and text messages during the 2016 campaign in which he discussed Organization 1, its head, and its possession of hacked emails. At the time of his false testimony, STONE was still in possession of many of these mails and text messages” (…) “The email from STONE on or about October 3, 2016 to the supporter involved with the Trump Campaign, which read in part, “Spoke to my friend in London last night. The payload is still coming.”; and” (…) “The emails on or about October 4, 2016 between STONE and the high-ranking member of the Trump Campaign, including STONE’s statement that Organization 1 would release “a load every week going forward.”” (District of Columbia – Indictment of Roger Stone Jr., 24.01.2019).

Why we know this is the real deal is because of the statement and the headlines made in 2016. This is not mere speculation made by the Special Counsel, the one with seven counts of crimes on his indictment, has been vocal about his connection to WikiLeaks and the way of play during the Campaign for Trump. As Jessie Hellmann reported on the October 2, 2016: “Roger Stone, a former adviser to the Republican nominee’s campaign, tweeted late Saturday night that Clinton will be “done.” “Wednesday @Hillary Clinton is done. #Wikileaks,” Stone tweeted. Wednesday@HillaryClinton is done. #Wikileaks. — Roger Stone (@RogerJStoneJr) October 2, 2016” (Jessie Hellmann – ‘Roger Stone: Wednesday will be end of Clinton’s campaign’ – The Hill).

With that in mind, there is also this, which was reported on Media Matters on the August 8, 2016; “QUESTIONER: With regard to the October surprise, what would be your forecast on that given what Julian Assange has intimated he’s going to do? ROGER STONE: Well, it could be any number of things. I actually have communicated with Assange. I believe the next tranche of his documents pertain to the Clinton Foundation but there’s no telling what the October surprise may be” (Media Matters – ‘Roger Stone Confirms That He’s In Communication With Julian Assange’ 09.08.2016).

So again, the internet doesn’t forget and neither does the Special Counsel. Mr. Stone was proud of his connection and that he knew about the damaging E-Mails that WikiLeaks had. Which was unleashed online and showed a negative side of the political campaigning done by the Democrats and the Hillary Clinton Campaign. Therefore, the indictment today proves yet again. The links between foreign advisories and the Trump Campaign.

The little drip drops proves it. The more the Special Counsel is showing the world, by every court paper becoming public. This shows what sort of slow process it is to prove in Court. However, Stone isn’t the first and not the last. As the Investigation continues and the web is getting closer to Individual 1. Peace.
