Opinion: No one should have TS/SCI documents in their home, yet Trump did…

Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) is classified national intelligence information concerning or derived from intelligence sources, methods or analytical processes, which is required to be handled within formal access control systems established by the DNI. The SCI control system structure is the system of procedural protective mechanisms used to regulate or guide each program established by the DNI as SCI” ((U) Intelligence Community Authorized Classification and Control Markings – Register and Manual, 2012).

The ones that are downplaying the severity of the revelation that former President Donald J. Trump took not only “Secret”, “Top Secret” and “Classified” documents to his Mar-A-Lago home after ending his term. The former President in addition took the ones classified as TS/SCI.

All of this shouldn’t have happened in the first place. No Head of State or Commander-in-Chief has done this. There been instances where there been whistleblowers who has released highly classified documents and been targets of the Republic afterwards. This being Edward Snowden, Reality Winner or anyone else who has in the recent years done that. They breached the trust of the state and their security clearances by doing this.

Even back in 2008, the former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales story says it all really:

In sum, our investigation concluded that Gonzales mishandled classified materials regarding two highly sensitive compartmented programs. We found that Gonzales took his classified handwritten notes home and stored them there for an indeterminate period of time. The notes contained operational aspects and other information about the NSA surveillance program that is classified at the TS/SCI level. By regulation, such material must be stored in a Sensitive Compartmented Storage Facility (SCIF). At the time he took these materials home, Gonzales did not have a SCIF at his house. Although Gonzales did have a safe at his residence at this time, we found that he did not use it to store the notes. We also found that Gonzales improperly stored other highly classified documents about the two compartmented programs in a safe at the Department that was not located in a SCIF. Several employees in the OAG had access to the safe where Gonzales stored the documents even though they lacked the necessary security clearances for this information. We concluded that Gonzales’s mishandling of both the notes and the other classified documents violated Department security requirements and procedures” (Office of the Inspector General – Special Report – ‘Report of Investigation Regarding Allegations of Mishandling of Classified Documents by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales’ September 2008)

So with that in mind, the TS/SCI especially, which is the highest levels of secrecy and national intelligence. The sort of documents that shouldn’t be anyone’s home. The sort of documents that contain secrets of national defence or otherwise security programs, which shouldn’t be easily accessed. That sort of documents was what former President Trump had in his home. The sort of document that should only be stored in a Sensitive Compartmented Storage Facility (SCIF) and Mar-A-Lago is far from that.

The former Attorney General Gonzales mishandled documents too and took them home. What was striking about Gonzales was that he wasn’t charged after that and was shielded for prosecution. While the media at the time was hit the Espionage Act, if they published or discussed the matters. Which is ironic, as the public should know about the actions of their Attorney General and his activities.

That’s what’s happening today and President Trump can say that the documents was already “declassified”. However that is just hearsay at this point, because why did he take them home and store them? Why if they weren’t important… why did he keep them and have it in his home? That doesn’t make sense.

Secondly, there is a process and legalise to how documents of these manner get classified and declassified. It isn’t just a blink of an eye and that a President Orders to be so. No, when it comes to National Security and Secrets that is deemed by the Director of National Intelligence(DNA) and National Security Agency (NSA). All of these has procedures and means to have oversight of the documents, as well as the Department of Defence (DoD) and Central Intelligence Authority (CIA). So, it isn’t an easy escape or way of getting it.

The third aspect is that with every level of secrecy a person needs a clearance and needs to be designated to work with it. It isn’t like free entry and everyone allowed to read or store. That’s why what Trump did is very dangerous. That from the same man who had issues that Hillary Clinton had a private Email-Server in her home while serving as U.S. Secretary of State. This was investigated and the authorities didn’t find any direct illegal by it, but it shouldn’t have happened. However, as bad as that was… the way the former President took documents has to be answered for.

As Trump did take documents, which are designed to be within a SCIF facility and be contained in a secure location. When he has taken such documents to Mar-A-Lago his clearly not caring about National Security or the National Secrets. He believes his obliged and approved to keep onto it. Others would have served time like Reality Winner. Hell, would be in exile like Edward Snowden. So, who does Trump think he is?

Just to read that someone takes TS/SCI home and doesn’t store those things correctly. That sound send chills down your spine. That the FBI did take so much documents and had such a list of things that Trump kept in his home, says a lot about what he did. This is a deliberate act and not just a random act. Especially, when the documents are so visibly stamped and regulated as is. It just shows how reckless and how his acting…

If he thinks he can double down with “declassified” or “copies” or whatever excuses. That will not stick. Because, you as a former Head of State should know better. It should also be a bad omen when the Department of Justice is investigating him under the Espionage Act. That is signalling that he could have “sold” or used the document as leverage with foreign entities. This is also seditious and treasonous, if proven so.

Trump has a lot to answer too. Not only this investigation. We know there was three statutes, which was the reason for the FBI “raid” of Mar-A-Lago. He has several of other cases built against him and he should be worried. The proof and evidence of the level of document kept in Mar-A-Lago only shows what his willing to do.

The ones trusting this man is clearly not seeing the whole picture. A man who is willing to endanger and breach national security for his own interests. While acting like a victim, when he did it himself and tried to keep these things as long as he could. That’s why the FBI needed a warrant and “raid” his home.

He did something very obviously “illegal” and that should have consequences. While Gonzales didn’t pay a price. He took less documents, but I wonder if anyone want to shield Trump now? Does he have friends or associates willing to trade national intelligence and national security over saving their messiah?

Time will tell.. but it shows how Trump acts and doesn’t care about “rule of law”. Peace.

Opinion: The GOP will now be off their rockers

After the FBI has now searched the home of former President Trump. Expect the whole MAGA world and the Grand Ol’ Party (GOP) or the Republican Party to be acting all out. They will go out swinging and maligning anyone in their way. There will be no stop and they even use all hoaxes and scare-tactics to undermine the process.

There is a reason why a judge signed of on the search warrant and allowed the FBI agents to raid Mara-A-Lago. That’s because there was no other way of getting the evidence, missing documents or classified documents he could be keeping there. We know already that 45 kept 15 boxes unsolicited documents, which was based for the National Archives. We don’t know what they are searching for right now, but they have a cause and enough reasons to do so. That’s why the “Law and Order” party should understand that, but they won’t and they never will.

The Republican Party is so far out and so lost on the understanding of criminal prosecution. That they only see things in the eyes of Q and MAGA conspiracies. There is no justification or reasoning. It is only the search for Atlantis or the Great Yeti. That’s how they are sounding like and making up things mask the fascism they spewing on the regular now. Creating culture wars while doing what they can to give tax-relief to the 1%. That’s their hallow mission and they need their guiding star to get there. Donald J. Trump, their saviour and God embodied on planet earth. Which is so ungodly and blasphemy, but do they care?

No, they only care as long as they have power and influence. It don’t matter what ordinary citizens goes through or struggles with. No, they just need to salvage power and their base. Which just happens to be through their messiah, Trump himself. That’s how blatant and disregarding any common sense it has become.

The “Trumpists” and inner-circle Republican’s will now target the Attorney General. They will persist on retaliation and “clearing house”. While the reality is that the DoJ is only following the law and procedure. We all know that Trump doesn’t care about subpoenas or proceedings of the law enforcement. He don’t trust them and won’t trust them, because several of these entities are investigating him. Trump and Trump Organization has lots of flaws and incriminating acts, which is the reason for several investigations in the first place. Heck, even the misuse of office and office of President alone could be enough to go after him. That’s without the coup d’etat or obstruction of justice, which he has also presided over. Therefore, the GOP should know better, but they won’t. It is not in them and they need their master.

It is really tragic that a party has become like this. That their mischief and their moral obligation is now to safeguard a man. There moral rights and concern isn’t with the integrity of the state or rule of law. No, it is save their saviour. It is to avoid his crucifixion and his sentencing. His supposed to avoid everything, because he brings all the power aligned and encircled around him.

That’s how it all sounds like from Republican representatives defending him. The means of how they are supporting him and standing up their hero. They are not considering the implications or the ramifications of it all. They are serving him as their unsound king. His their absolute monarch and superhero. A man who is willing to lie about everything and everyone. His allies can be thrown under the bus and become a felon. As long as Trump himself gets off the hook.

That’s the drill and this is America. The home of free and brave, where one party is a slave to one man and his will. It is tragic and unfortunate, but that’s how the mighty has fallen in the duo-poly of the United States of America. Peace.

Opinion: Papa Don’s home raided by the FBI

In the case of federal offenses that are colloquially known as white-collar crimes (e.g., violations of the federal securities laws), agents often will need to obtain documents from suspects and innocent parties as part of the investigation. To do so, the agents can apply for a search warrant from a magistrate (or judge) to search a particular site for relevant evidence. Alternatively, the agents can request a subpoena from a grand jury” (FBI – ‘A Brief Description of the Federal Criminal Justice Process’).

It is now official that the former President Donald J. “Papa Don” Trump home “Mar-A-Lago” in Florida was raided by the FBI. The FBI cannot just show up and raid someone’s home. They need evidence and get a search warrant accepted by a judge. Therefore, what happened yesterday is unique in the sense the authorities has collected and founds enough reasons to do this.

Time Magazine reports it like this: “The FBI searched former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate as part of an investigation into whether he took classified records from the White House to his Florida residence, people familiar with the matter said Monday” (Time Magazine, 09.08.2022).

We know that the President has withheld documents and taken documents meant for the National Archive, which is stated by law to happen after ending of term. The authorities has already needed to go to Mar-A-Lago and pick-up 15 boxes of documents from his time in office. That’s why Trump has done this before and people shouldn’t be shocked by the extent of it.

The FBI wouldn’t knock or come to a home without a reason. “Papa Don” is finally feeling the “Law and Order” he spoke so loudly about in office. What is striking here is that the FBI director is a Trump appointee and the judge signing of the search warrant is another too. Therefore, the people doing it isn’t “democrats” but people Trump trusted with these offices. So, the “deep state” nonsense of the Republicans or the acts of “weaponized” Department of Justice is out of bound. Because, this just shows that a citizen and a former President isn’t above the law. He just have to answer to it like anyone else.

The Republican’s cannot shield itself and make it look like “Papa Don” is an innocent boy-scout. That’s how they are acting and that they are shocked. The Trump Organization, the Trump Campaign and the Trump Administration has a lot of questionable acts. It is with a reason why his the only former President not allowed to have a foundation, because of how he used a former one for business or private matters and not for charity.

The GOP will be in meltdown mode and that’s for the simple reason: Their dude is in trouble. He has been able to skate away from trouble so far. Which is amazing in itself. He tried to do a coup d’etat. The former President was able to profit on the Presidency and so did his businesses. That has in the past been illegal and the companies owned by Presidents has been sold or put into trusts. However, that wasn’t the case with him and foreign interests could sway the Presidency monetarily. Therefore… there is enough reason to look into the man.

Papa Don” cannot run away from the law. The FBI has some knowledge and possible evidence to further investigate. They feared for the documents and the evidence being destroyed. That’s why they are raiding his home now. We don’t know if he tried to obstruct justice or destroy classified documents. Secondly, we don’t know if he tried to sell that to a “third party” which “Papa Don” did together with Manafort to Russian spies. Therefore, there is possible precedence for doing so.

We can now wonder how this will play out for “Papa Don”. There is enough investigations going on in New York, Washington D.C. and in Georgia itself. We can also wonder where the indictment or the criminal prosecution will happen. A “Papa Don” trial would be an event at this point. Especially, in consideration of his stature and that’s his the former President. We know that former President Richard Nixon accepted from President Ford a “pardon” to get away from being indicted for his crimes. Therefore, the “Papa Don” can only get that from President Biden. It is not in the interest of Biden to give him that. We know that Trump would go after Biden’s family and the Democratic Party. That is something “Papa Don” has said before and would go after his political enemies. This is why it’s unlikely that Biden would give him mercy.

What we are seeing is that “Papa Don” own actions are catching up to him. He has been able to run away from anything. The criminal dealings in the corporate world. He has gotten away from paying taxes and keeping his tax-returns private. The former President has blocked investigations and obstructed justice. Used office for profits and personal interests. That’s why there so much things that could be of interests for the FBI. “Papa Don” should be worried… and that’s why the GOP has a meltdown. Because, they know what has been going on and what their “beloved” leader has done.

Not only trying to openly coordinate a coup d’etat, but also all the questionable actions, which is being investigated. It is a reasons why the Trump Organizations has been caught in scams and in criminal acts over the years. So, anyone shouldn’t be shocked that “Papa Don” is doing illegal things. Therefore, the tides is turning and now the rule of law is coming home. The “Papa Don” above the law is over.

Trump has used “executive privilege” to safeguard himself, but that isn’t valid as a citizen. This is why he cannot run or hide. The law can now catch up on him. We just have to see why they did it and reasons for the raid. The FBI did this for a reason and with a suspect of illegal activity. That’s why it happened and the truth will come out later. Peace.

Opinion: Bolton’s admission of guilt

I disagree with that. As somebody who has helped plan coup d’états, not here, but, you know, other places, it takes a lot of work” – John Bolton on CNN (12.07.2022).

Yesterday, not a shocker, but an open revelation, which the world has known for years. That the United States of America imperialism has resulted in installing puppets overseas. This is well known chapter in the legacy of the USA and the Washington Doctrine. They have used their military power, intelligence and means to an end. In such a manner, that they have forced out elected leaders and installed their own heads of state. The latest ones was the failed coup d’etat in Venezuela and the short-term presidency, which was in Bolivia. Therefore, this isn’t anything new, but a reality we live in.

Bolton himself worked not only as an Ambassador to the United Nations and as a Former National Security Advisor (NSA). No, before that since the Presidency of Ronald Reagan. This man has been a war-hawk and a man willing to enforce U.S. interest upon others. That’s been his end-game and it hasn’t really been a secret. That’s why Trump appointing him… is just a long line of Republican President using his “services”.

Bolton himself was the “18th Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs” in the years of 1989 to 1993. That was during the Presidency of George Bush. While his President George W. Bush appointed him too “3rd Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Affairs”. A role he had between 2001 – 2005. Why I am stating these things?

Well, in those years… there was some American interventions in other countries. Which with the revelation can be put on him and his associates in the State Department of the U.S. Government. Surely together with the Central Intelligence Authority (CIA) and other government entities, which could easily be involved in the matter. Therefore, Bolton is just saying what we all knew.

In 1989 the CIA had a counterinsurgency in the Philippines. They had a failed December coup d’etat in that year. Between 1989-1990 the U.S intervened with armed forces in Panama to overthrow government of President Noriega. In 1991, the CIA-backed military coup ousts President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in Haiti. That is only mentioning a few things which transpired while he had one term in office under President Bush (senior).

So, with the knowledge of these actions. Could the paperwork and the confidential documents of the State Department verify his involvement in any of these? If so, why is he still a free man? Since, his a war-criminal, which was allowed to overthrow sovereign and independent nations own government. That should be sanctioned and punitive action should used against him. This is only fair that a man like Bolton get to answer for the crimes he has committed. If that is in Panama, Haiti or anywhere else for that matter. Not mentioned earlier… if his responsible for troops sent to Liberia or ushering in a war in Iraq. He could be behind the first Gulf-war. Who knows, right?

But, Bolton is proud of intervening and being behind coups. He had years in office and should be held accountable for that. No one should walk away scot-free. When they have taken down heads of state and installed puppets. That’s just shows the “World Police” and their Imperial ambitions. As U.S. interests has been more valued, than the sovereign interests of the respective nations or their citizens.

Because, who is Bolton or anyone in the State Department right to decide who runs Panama or Liberia? Not their jurisdiction or within their borders, right? That’s for the people of Panama or Liberia. Heck, why did the U.S. try a coup in Philippines, just mere years after the People Power movement overthrow the Marcos the dictatorship? Well, you can figure that one out, right? U.S. has a hankering for U.S. sponsored dictators like Mobutu. So, they could always have another like that elsewhere. As long as it’s their dictator and that man plays to their “rules”.

Alas, Bolton is just that sort of man. People should provide evidence and seen him on trial in the Hague. When other warlords and militia’s with crimes against humanity is there. So, should the likes of Bolton. Bosco “the Terminator” isn’t the only man who deserves to get the book of international laws thrown at him. No, the likes of Bolton deserves that too.

This is a privilege of him speaking like this on CNN and face no consequences. He should answer and there should be filed cases against him. Bolton deserves that and so those anyone else who conspired together with him. That’s only fair and is just. The world needs that and American’s shouldn’t get off the hook either. Peace.

NATO: Türkiye-Finland-Sweden – Trilateral Memorandum (28.06.2022)

USA: 13 States has already triggered laws to restrict or ban abortions after yesterday’s ruling

“It’s not that I don’t trust Women to control their own bodies… I trust Women to control when they allow men to ejaculate inside of them – to control intake of semen” – Rep. Karianne Lisonbee

The trigger laws after the overturning is already in affect in 13 states in the United States of America, these are being set into action in Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Wyoming. While the Vatican and the Holy See did celebrate the verdict. It just shows how discouraging and the demeaning this overturning of Roe Versus Wade is. This referral law is now done with and ended. Giving plenty of the states the options to make it illegal and criminalize the ones who helps with the practice. Therefore, the U.S. is becoming one place for freedoms and other with hefty restrictions.

We know that more states will trigger laws and changes, which will severely restrict, ban and up-right make it illegal to advocate, help or abide in the process of abortion. The states that has already triggered the laws are enacting laws, which give jail-time and possibly make it a criminal offence. Which can strike at a woman, if she crosses state borders and have a miscarriage when returning. Meaning, things that a women already don’t control can become threatening and invoke a criminal investigation. That just show how “big” the government is… the same government that cannot ban or invoke any sort of regulation of firearms, in a sort of reasonable fashion. Because, you cannot take away the constitutional rights to arms, but you can take away the freedom and liberty of a female adult to carry a child or not.

To limit reproductive health care is only tarnishing the rights of women. In a nation of no universal health care. In a nation of no paid maternity leave, decent child tax-credits or social security that could matter. Therefore, the expenses of paying for child-birth, doctors appointments and whatnot can bankrupt a family and especially an unwanted or an unplanned one. That’s why the impoverished will be hit even harder and they will have nowhere to go.

While that is happening people should expect a domino effect out of this. The other rights, which has been legal in recent time could easily be eradicated too. This being contraception, same-sex marriage, same-sex relationships, LGBT rights and so fourth. Heck, people should think that these people of the Supreme Court could find ways to end the legality of interracial marriage, which isn’t that old of judgement either. Therefore, there is plenty of referral laws, which can be swiftly overturned like Roe Versus Wade. This can easily just be the beginning and the these Supreme Court Justices, as we know one of them Clarence Thomas has commented about the possibilities to do so.

In the midst of that and the turmoil that is created. The inflicted harm and insecurity put on the women now. They should start to apply pressure and use this cause to have a say. Since the Congress never used the 5 decades to make it a federal law or codifying it. That’s why the Supreme Court could just take it away over night and letting the states themselves decide how to deem things properly.

It is just striking that the same Justices didn’t believe the States had the rights to limit the gun-control according to the Constitution, but the same Constitution can take away the reproductive of women. So, in practice the women can shoot a baby, but not take an abortion. That’s ironic and the renegade youths like Kyle Rittenhouse can kill protesters, but women cannot decide over their own bodies. However, it is easy to get guns and create a mass-murder, which we have seen often with “thoughts and prayers” from the representatives afterwards.

This is America in 2022… and it’s tragic. This is taking a big step back. USA should be better than this, but apparently it’s not. Peace.

Opinion: USA, the land of the unborn…

The United States of America, the land of the free and the home of the brave. Certainly isn’t becoming a more friendly place, but a more hostile one. It isn’t enough with the uncontrolled gun-violence, mass-shootings and gang-violence. The epic proportions of police brutality and corporate run-prison system. The United States of America isn’t the land of total freedom or liberty. No, it is so sanctioned and regulated that you should be cautious. Especially, if you blink twice or happens to be born with the wrong skin-colour.

Alas, birth, the womb and the women’s rights have now become the main subject. The reproductive rights and the prevention options of women in the USA will now be limited. It will possibly matter of which state you reside or the possible costs to do the needed treatment elsewhere. Certainly, plenty of Southern or Mid-Western states, which has a majority of Republican representatives are preparing legislations or state laws that abolish or limits the possibilities to near-none. Therefore, one part of society will be blocked out of life-saving treatment.

The same party and government, the same sort of judges and likes who has called mask-mandates for “fascism” and been so outrageous about COVID-19 regulations. However, the same people are now screaming of joy for policing women’s bodies. They are doing it to save the “unborn” and the ones who haven’t gotten life. These people call themselves “pro-life” but are they really?

These people are the sort of freedom loving people who would block the needs of any regulations to guns, state run programs and social security. They so want the state to be limited and will not grant any sort of tax-credit, stimulus package or sort of child-care programs that would matter. Instead they would rather destroy all that in combination of making the health care less accessible to millions of citizens. That’s the same people, which calls themselves “pro-life”.

They are only pro-breathing but after giving birth. The women and the families are mostly left alone to themselves. The ones who cannot afford or have access to treatment in other states. When the states takes away these freedoms. There will be pushback, but certainly create movements, which the same sort of ideals will be fought over again.

Now is the need for movements that acts and represents women like the Temperance Movement and the Anti-Salon League. The end of Roe Versus Wade will usher in a new era now. The Planned Parenthood, which we know and grown up with will be obsolete. If you though the Tea Party of the Trump’s MAGA was anything. Well, if history tells us anything. These sorts of things will spiral out in a manner, which the White House, Supreme Court or the Congress cannot handle. They just have to listen and obey. Because, this will backfire.

This will be brutal and the consequences will be enormous. Yes, the Republican’s seems like victors today, because SCOTUS validated their claim and overturned a former ruling. The Democrats never made it code or into law. Therefore, the rights of productive rights and women’s right is by default gutted by a conservative bench in the Supreme Court.

First and foremost, the ones who cannot or doesn’t have resources will be put into a quagmire. They either got to do it illegally in “speakeasies” or “underground clinics” to help them out or have organizations out of state to give them guidance and support to make it happen. That’s how despicable it is. Secondly, this is a bunch of men policing women’s bodies and months ago they where crying out loud over wearing masks in public. That’s how degenerate these people are. They should know better, but we cannot expect greatness out of corrupt and greedy men. These just want power and it shows. They want their mistresses to bare their children and they want baby-mamas across the board While calling themselves good family and Christian men. Alas, they couldn’t be further from the case. Most likely the same of sort of gentlemen wouldn’t accept or feel human, if a woman made a law policing their bodies. However, that is another case and it should be spelled out.

We are now seeing not only a divide, but a piece of history, which will ensure a political shift and a turn. That is most likely happening. The SCOTUS, White House and Congress will not understand that today. The people, the ones hurt and the ones banned from acting on their own judgement will turn against this. Some might be silent first, but after a while they will organize. There will be initiatives, groups and new sort of operations, which is out of bound of legislators. New sort of political will and rise to counter this. Because, so many people lost a constitutional right and an option, which has been there for 50 years.

This will not end here. Mark my words. This is a new chapter and a new beginning. The ones thinking publicity stunts and small pushover town-hall questionaries will be it. I hate to break it to you, but you have now unleashed a new sort of movement. Which the political elite or the ones representing the citizens haven’t seen in a life-time. That’s what the SCOTUS has done and this could have been avoided. However, now defiance and resistance is the only way out. That’s all because the Supreme Court judges overturned a ruling. Peace.

Opinion: An eye for eye, and a tooth for a tooth [a commentary on the return of Patrice Lumumba’s tooth]

You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also” – Matthew 5: 38-39, New International Version (NIV).

It is tragic to know that the first Congolese Prime Minister of the Independent Democratic Republic of Congo – Patrice Lumumba was not only assassinated, but deposed of in a brutal way. Which is why the only remain part of his body is a tooth. The body was deposed with acid and totally destroyed. That was a deliberate act to mask and stop any sort of trace of the evil deeds committed to him.

While we know the Belgian authorities and the United States of America – Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was involved in the matter. They where both participating and ensuring a transition to Mobutu Sese Seko and his tyranny, which took over for the revolutionary and the popular prospect of a Lumumba government. Therefore, the West did this and has never answered for their crimes in the DRC. Belgium is “regretting” and saying “sorry” but they have never paid or had any direct consequences for the years of colonialism or overlordship of the Central African Nation.

That’s why I cannot celebrate the return the of the tooth. No, it is not enough. Just like the Belgians never has paid any price or had to take any sort of real accountability for the years of colonial rule. They have not paid for their brutality and generations of suffering. A nation which paid the costs of their mass-murder and looting. Therefore, the tooth of the former Prime Minister isn’t a token or a relic of hope. But a proof of the deviousness, which has roamed large in Brussels and beyond.

Just read this here snippet about the return of it:

A newly-built mausoleum in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s capital, Kinshasa is getting ready to welcome the gold-crowned tooth of the country’s independence hero Patrice Lumumba. The mausoleum was however designed by a Chinese architect and is about to take in the only known remains of Mr Lumumba. In September 2020, the family of Lumumba received news of taking in the tooth taken from his corpse. A court in Belgium had ruled that the tooth should be returned to Lumumba’s family. Lumumba’s tooth was believed to have been taken by a Belgian policeman who was helping to dispose of the body” (Africa Feeds, 23.06.2022).

What is even more striking is that a Belgian Police Officer has been able to keep it for all of these years. That a man of the law and of the law enforcement kept it as a token and a valuable artefact says a lot. Because, he and others in his company has to know how it got there. You just don’t take a tooth and other items from another country like that.

The police officer and fellow peers must have known and be aware of the “secrecy” of the assassination of Lumumba. That his life was taken prematurely and left to a grim fate. Which was acid and total destruction of his remains. That’s why the DRC is only left with a tooth.

The Belgian authorities only gives back a golden tooth. That is very symbolic of how they ruled the DRC. They called maybe the tribes of the DRC savages, but they were the definition of it. The way they looted, massacred and created horrors under rule of King Leopold. The Belgians should be aware of the bloodshed and murders that was committed in their names. That is something that should be told until eternity. Especially, when it has no consequence. The murder capital of DRC is somewhere in Belgium. Since, they ordered and ensured the demise of millions of Congolese people over the years.

Some might say it is reparation or a gesture between the nations. This was a theft. Not only the thieving of the remains of a body of a head of state. No, it was also a theft and stolen future. The Belgians together with allies hijacked the future of the DRC. They installed Mobutu and the ramifications we see to this day.

The tooth will not turn back time. It is a small item, but not insignificant. Yes, this has taken way to long. However, the ones behind the assassination is roaming loose and has no punitive actions done against them. They did a calculated murder with following destruction of all evidence. That’s how sinister the plot was and we may never know who actually did it.

The only thing we know… is that the DRC never got justice served. They only got an tooth. Which isn’t enough. Belgians should be aware and so should anyone else who has looted a nation under the banner of colonialism. They should answer for the pains and suffering they committed. It wasn’t just an one off and Lumumba’s demise is a testament of that. Peace.

USA: President Joe Biden letter to CEO Darren Woods of Exxon Mobile (14.06.2022)

Opinion: Biden is lukewarm coffee part III

“Since I took office, families are carrying less debt … more Americans feel financially comfortable” – President Joe Biden (03.06.2022).

You know that coffee either taste good warm or as ice-coffee, not in the middle or lukewarm. Lukewarm coffee must be the work of the devil. Since it makes the coffee taste stale and bad. Instead of having the tones and a flavours of which the beverage is supposed to have.

Why do I say this?

Well, United States of America President Joe Biden is the epitome of lukewarm coffee. His neither hot or cold. His the boring in the middle and out-of-touch career politician. Biden has no spine or now will to achieve things. That’s why his achievements are so-and-so. What is striking is that he acts like he isn’t in office or doesn’t have executive power. Secondly, he cannot reign in on the Senate or get popular bills through either.

That’s why his Presidency is close to pointless. We know that the tiredness and the lies of Trump was catching up with. Also, the promise of ending the pandemic and getting a new normal was what Biden wanted to offer. However, he got nothing in the sense of care, concern or programs, which could be meaningful. Unless, it is to help corporate donors and being afraid of a new Republican takeover.

Biden is hopeless… that’s how his looking and Harris isn’t saving him either. The Biden Administration seems inept or not willing to face the realities. The inflation, the rising prices and a lack of regulations to bridge gap is obvious. The current government rather live on inflated numbers and calculations, than consider the real implications living pay-check to pay-check and not ensuring liveable wages. Only in the USA where a childbirth or a sickness can bankrupt a family in the lower middle-class. So, Biden isn’t helping, but instead saying tokenism to boost the ego of the donor-class and the upper echelons. Must surely be nice to smooch with the elite while toying around the working class.

Meanwhile Biden doesn’t understand what is going on. If not his not listening or disinterested. It is like it doesn’t face him or his allies. They pay them no mind and doesn’t understand what implications it has. When people are struggling and no one comes to save you. Your most likely looking elsewhere and even hoping the devil you don’t know will help you out. Even if they are most despicable and disingenuous people. Still, you rather vote for them, as they give at least the bare minimum and promises to fix things. While you in power and with the mandate in both houses of Congress should get legislation voted through. However, in June 2022 that’s too much to ask.

Biden is strangled by the demigod of Manchin and Sinema. He just can’t catch a break. His team cannot configure how to be professionals and play their cards. Instead the soft and meagre manoeuvres make him look like a man without power. Just like a flaccid and broken old man who is to tired to act or unbothered to actually do an honest living.

President Biden could have achieved things. That’s if he wanted too and wasn’t only talking tough to opposition. He should have reigned in his senators and done legislation that really mattered. Because, he has the House and could get things through the Senate with the VP vote like Trump did during this term. However, he has dismissed that and isn’t even trying.

Biden is lukewarm coffee and it tastes like it too. Distasteful chants should ring in Washington D.C. Peace.
