2. THOUGHTS ON THE CORBYN SCARE (OF AN ESTABLISHMENT MARRIED TO ARMS SALES TO MEDIEVAL RULERS) Sweet and lucrative, (the proceeds of Arabia) Find me a better deal (And I will sign divorce) (Give me a better deal and I quit the middle east)It is more correct to say the profits are addictive! To the British ruling class. They are hooked. Jeremy Corbyn suggesting a changed, progressive foreign policy may result lesser blowbacks in London, is like a rehab officer telling a street ho hooked on cocaine there is life after peddling arse for a shot! Nay, the rich pickings have made the profiteers who control the levers of power directly or by proxy, oblivious to the diminishing trend in returns. They continue to ignore the warnings and explain otherwise, the intermittent blowbacks at home. They are still pushing for ever more egregious wars of plunder abroad. Understandably so, because, at their wits end yet historically triumphalist, they are haunted by massive deficits, risky debt portfolios and ratios, volatile currencies, raw austerity and the chill of a restive population. Something must be done, and it is a crisis compounded by rising economic powers like China. These are changing the international balance. The Guardian, evolved into a Blairite, anti-Corbyn establishment machine, had an expose on the depraved contours of the UK arms trade. But how tip-toe they tell it! When the books balance! That is a perfect market! And man, don't you know the mathematical oddity of that divinity! -sustained simultaneous orgasm! Like walking on egg-shells they tell it! stay awake for the language of the Guardian! ''Many of the UK's biggest customers have 'Questionable' human records!'' Suppose you named the really big ones and fact-checked their human rights records! Doesn't the Guardian's choice of words become
well
. equally 'questionable', wherefore, were one a bull's eye poet of precision, the paper and her editorial board would, in Robert Burns like turn of phrase, be of a refracted glass of vision!Or Orwellian satire
like
. Words words words! But not a grain of truth therein! So empty has the once mighty Fleet Street become Journalists nothing but decrepit megaphones of ruling barons!Have the Saudis been (falsely) accused of targeting civilians in Yemen? or have they actually done so!? The Guardian leaves that one hanging! But the actual situation (over and) in Yemen can factually be appraised othersource, no!? documented!? Mere 'accusations', The Authoritative center-left Guardian reported! Corbyn hasn't been mincing words about these things. On the illegal Iraq war based upon false pretexts, -- WMD, he refused to outrule the prosecution of Britain's longest serving Labour premier Tony Blair!'We will drink your blood!' the remnant Blairite vampires still on his labour's frontbench squealed, then they went into the shadows to sharpen their fangs to emerge another day. The British electorate has just decided they should abide more time! Corbyn emerged victorious, except he lost the election. Teresa May won the election, except she has no majority!Damn the people! Damn the electorate! Faking sheep off message! nearly giving Holy Teresa a heart attack the morning after. This election was about a hard brexit, not scurrying after a Santa Claus sprinkling peremende!See footnote 2: France's Tony Blair, Emmanuel Macron, as slash-and-burn artist. (he will be using wide executive powers to ram through anti-labour laws!) FOOTNOTE: CHURCHILLEarlier on the running debate about the civilising impact of the British empire, Asian Chapter.

THE JEREMY CORBYN SCARE, A WARNING SHOT? Insulated in their bubble of illusions, the anti-Corbyn ranks dismissed the man and egged the woman on. They admonished Teresa Jeremy was a godsend and she would walk over him with a landslide, on the way to a super majority in the House of Commons. All the Big Guns of punditry agreed: Corbyn was labour's coffin, an electoral harakiri. Go Teresa, go for it girl, the nation loves you! burry him alive! he is asking for it!However, as the campaigns wore on, much dangerous did the British establishment see the ratings of their Tory preference slide in the opinion polls. Then, as the D-Day neared, the gap narrowed enough as to suggest there was, within the margins of error, either possibility of Tory May or Red Corbyn at No. 10. Howbeit the establishment and their mouthpieces entered into a pyranha mode, tearing the red Labour leader to the bone in a last-ditch attempt to force national love upon the ugly girl. Some of them like Old David Dimbleby of the BBC, a veteran of election night broadcasts, were shamed enough into becrying the bias. But it looked a vain glorious attempt to exonerate the BBC whose very own sexy star, Laura Kuenssberg, had an embarrassing call with a now disbanded media (integrity) watchdog. So what is the Big Deal really? Why would the British electorate succumb to the charms of such an establishment hate figure? Is it an isolated case in the lonely Island nation, or is it a general trend across Europe, perhaps a crisis in confidence, seeing that even the USA had this outsider Donald Trump gatecrush the orchestrated coronation of either a scion of the Bush or Clinton dynasty?But that was Putin did it, wasn't it!? ---he, Comely!? Corbyn's electoral manifesto is worth a deep-thought moment of contemplation. He actually offered a break from the neo-Thatcherite consensus. Tony Blair's labour had been a left masquerade of that. Those who thought of themselves as readers for the people dismissed the manifesto as a SANTA CLAUS SHOW for idiots in a forgotten orphanage. Good for a day's entertainment then best entirely forgotten. But they hadn't reckoned these days of smart-gadgets, many people, young people, would bother to read for themselves, ponder for themselves and wonder, could it just be possible this was the deal they are waiting for? The other factor overlooked seemed to Corbyn's capacity to aggressively campaign for what he believed in, and even if no charisma, cut a convincing, likeable figure. He shocked the electorate by that convincing retinue of genuine persona, far from a PR-firm's concoction; and worse, his wheeling's and dealings raised yes as a possible answer to the question: can honest people go places in politics, and their nations along?It is an accepted cliche honest people have no business in many top modern careers ---politics, law, banking, law enforcement, war-making. That is modernity for you, moral depravity and consciental destitution, and in politics Machiavelli spells it out, the Goebbels doctrine rules, and a series of generational pundits support. Honesty and integrity are evolutionary ballast best evolved out for those with ambition. Otherwise you stay a retard, like Corbyn was suppose to be (and confirmed himself in the dominant narrative) when he launched his manifesto in Bradford. This is the kind of stuff people heard. SANTA CLAUS!? How does Santa Claus pay for his gifts!? That was suppose to be a ridiculing line! With great institutes of learning like Oxford and Cambridge, one would think there are any number of competing econometric models (algorithyms?) at hand to fill-out that sudoku a-la minute! But arrogance and orthodoxy can lead to such negligence as once forced the Church, for ages, to insist Galileo Galilei belonged to the dungeon! So Oxbridge stayed waxing mute in its Papal infallability! But there are pirates in the intellectual seas too! Corbyn in his red dungeon came up with a terrifying answer to the sudoku puzzle, the one of funding his santalike sugar daddy gifts showers!: REDISTRIBUTION OF THE SOCIAL WEALTH. ---Tax the super-rich more, erase the famous BONUSES, and don't go global war-mongering wasting away huge budgets abroad in subterfuge wars of looting resources from rebellious tribes. Terrible blowbacks on the streets of London as collateral damage. And yes, the high tax on the super rich soon got wings as public imagination connected it to folklore: 'THE ROBIN HOOD TAX!' and behold, lots of people like that 'misnomer', Robin Hood T.! More T-shirts please! But to the status quo, that is of course anathema -- upsetting property relations. Corbyn making himself an outlaw! And pointing to an Achilles heel too: international relations ----The fundamental question is then asked, repeated by a man who means it: Is a 'moral foreign policy' (to echo the late --then widely ridiculed minister of foreign affairs----Robin Cooke) compatible with Britain's prosperity? Aren't neo-colonies (and their subservient, satellite political economies) vital to Great Britain as it is? Is it not of fundamental importance, a matter of existential pre-conditions, that Great Britain as we know it, continue sucking up to medieval monarchies in the middle east, horrid Arab dictators, for energy profits and arms sales, all to the glory of the home treasury? I guess this is repeat of the argument during decolonisation. Great good people like Winston Churchill fought the Nazi evil tirelessly to free Europe from tyranny, but when it came to the freedom of the people within British colonies, the enlightened european freedom lovers treated the brownies with the same murderous contempt Adolf Hitler treated Jews. --- Third Reich bad, British Reich good. SHASHI THAROOR, an era of darkness. (interesting argument going on between some Indian scholars and British historians about the colonial era in India!) SEE FOOTNOTE: CHURCHILL### A lot of powerful people were convinced Britain had to maintain hold of her colonies. Without these territories where capital was multiplied, natural resources monopolised and market segments guaranteed for finished products, these leading actors could only conceive of a diminished and second tier power Britain. Ending colonialism was doom, just like centuries earlier, tidings of ending slavery had been! They fought tooth and nail to maintain the old order until bankruptcy stared them in the face. But it turned out a double liberation I think, though not in the Fanonian sense. We got flag independence and colonialism became neo-colonialism. A modernisation. The Corbyn upsurge is a shot across the bow of the UK status quo I think. Jeremy Corbyn hints at a neo-colonialism having become an expensive drag and moral drain on Britain, that there is an imperative need it should evolve into something else; and too, he insists that something else, more moral, less predatory, is not to the detriment of Great Britain, quite on the contrary, for a better all inclusive Britain. It sounds more Messianic than Santa Claus gimmicks if you ask me! NB: From the position of companies like BAE, BP --and the City which is a mushroom on top of the rot of international finance, red Corbyn is more dangerous than the new Hitler, Putin! He is talking blasphemy! A moral foreign policy! How immoral! energydesk.greenpeace.org/2016/01/15/data-how-guns-and-oil-dominate-uk-saudi-arabia-relationship/ All politics are local! and pockets! And what a place for pockets, that oily middle east! That Anglo-Iranian bit has this sting in the tale ------- Mohammad Mosaddegh Now think of how tosses of triumphalist champagne clicked in London's Thame banks, and Houston and Fort Langley USA, when they successfully reversed Mosaddegh's modest reforms! A ghost haunts No 10 Downing Street, the ghost of Mohammad Saddegh!Next: MARRIED TO LUCRATIVE DEALS WITH MEDIEVAL RULERS?

NO THIRD WAY FOR GENERAL ABABY NAMWAMBA Ex Gen. Ababy comes home, or is it Onyango Oloo returns to the fold? There has been an exchange of personnel between the two royal houses dominating national politics. The only kind of personnel who can be exchanged between royal houses in conflict are 1. diplomats 2. hostages. 3. mercenary prostitutes 4. spouses to make peace. The Odinga&Kenyatta dynasts have swapped used meat! Finally the party ratified the decision. There was always nowhere else for him to go. Aint that neat, that own decision bit!?[/i] Ababy was chairman of PAC. His intelligence and capacity to make his own decisions, I always noted, did not sustain the ABC of canvassing a FORENSIC AUDIT of the 'transparency challenged accounts and departments', so that, like Man J. Githong'o, he would wave stuff which even a calibre the rank of the Othaya genius wouldn't dare read. --They say, Kibaki said: 'Go away, Githong'o. You will bring my government down! I don't hate you! I just don't want to be ex-president so soon!'Using that standard, I always thought Ababu made General without having been frontline colonel. But turncoat Generals come easy in Kenya. General Nkaissery was here. He was poached and now sings that song. He was tired of swallowing saliva, camped at the outskirts far away from the meat. So he made a 'conscious decision'. He defected, went to the highest bidder. Aint that profitable! Kenyan Generals for you! Tumbo tu! Small wonder their adjutants are popularly known as lootenants!It has been a tortuous journey of discovery for the Jenerali from Budalangi. That is if he is gifted with conscious reflection. He was the rising star of his generation on the other side. But the abandoned MULEMBE VIBE OF CONSCIOUSNESS aside, the mutation from secretary general of the popular opposition party to handmaid for the incumbent, reminds me of two anecdotes to use. Before that, what I want to salivate about is the prospect of Ababu on podium with Mbuvi Sonko, campaigning for Sakaja in Nairobi. I always thought Ababu was a silly, overblown punk who needed to be dragged into the sewer for a bit of a colonel's look, and wit. ----I reached this conclusion when he avoided SABASABA years ago, finding reason with Evans Kidero to be busy elsewhere. It was an act of cowardice which informed me the paper tiger of an ODM General would never be a match for colonel Mbuvi Sonko, the sewer rat. Now, as a Jubilee trainee cun-t, the ex ODM Jenerali who avoided the SABASABA meet the wretched of the Nairobi Earth, has an opportunity to be walked through Mukuru kwa Reuben, Mukuru kwa Njenga, Mathari Matata, Kawangware proper, Kibera sewer; and, if possessed of the faculties of conscious reflection, face the fundamental question of the political economy of capitalist underdevelopment. The tomb of doom within which millions of urban youth are locked. No options of socio-economic emancipation, wherefore police work has become mass murder of youth, 'adolescenticide'. Here is a hint This is separate from the ATPU triggerhappiness on suspected Al-shabaab look-alikes! Can intelligent Ababu, making up his own lawyer's sharp mind, not suffer some anxiety at such a police statistic? Continued. WHY THE EX GENERAL SHOULD APPRENTICE BY SONKO

LONDON CALLING JEREMY CORBYNI hope there are many attentive Kenyans in the UK. Watching the elections. Incumbent PM Teresa May is a grotesque par Excellency. Panicked witless and unhinged by dwindling fortunes at the polls, she has declared she will do away with human rights legislation where they get in the way of the fight against terrorism. And that is really everywhere! How new is this!? (this authoritarian buffoonery!) What kind of policy, pray tell, did the British security forces pursue in Northern Ireland and beyond, in the face of militant Irish nationalism, and most recently, the variant spearheaded by the IRA in Northern Ireland? Was it not a shoot-to-kill, targeted eliminations, fabricated evidence for long convictions, and just about every extra-judicial grime!? And O, at the end of the 'troubles' and the drawn-out process of negotiations, was that Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness being celebrated at no 10 Downing Street as peace-makers!? And then, those of us born in former British colonies and having some historical knowledge, may we not be provoked to lots of grins, listening to Teresa May throwing out the Geneva Conventions ala Dubya and Cheney! Why grins? For starters, James Bond can now be licensed to KILL AT HOME, and what is more, hunt and kill fellow Britons around British urbans slums, albeit evil Arab Muslims. 2Nd: MI5&6 personnel were reported 'observers' around the CIA black spots around the globe where the waterboardings, anal rehydrations, wall checks and what have you were being perfected on Muslim terrorist suspects. Now they can gear to exercise those skills at home without stiff upper lips, and on their fellow citizens, albeit Arab and Muslim! See there. Now, come to think of it. In their imperial fight against national liberation movements like the Mau Mau of Kenya, ATROCITY was always the name of the game for the Brits. The Boers of South Africa have particularly nasty names for the British! --whom they say invented the concentration camp for whites! It is not that I think Teresa May is recidivist, no, she is just promising to introduce at home in the 22nd century, the atrocities empire used to commit far from home! No longer can the contradictions stay exported. The battle abroad, is the battle at home.Some lighter stuff from the colonial library include: pass laws (some areas of London will be no-go for Arabs); arbitrary arrests of Arabs (anti loitering and vagrancy laws!); indefinite detention ex harbeas corpus (suspect Arabs need not make court appearances). --what Teresa May means, we ex-colonials all know. Like the Negroes of America and their civil rights have always been less enshrined! A sordid future for the once Great Britain. Little England sure deserves her sordid Teresa. May they elect her tomorrow! But even Big Guns can jam! freak! DOUBT AND THE PROSPECT OF A HUNG PARLIAMENT But Britain does not accept sordid Teresa's that easy. The lady has aroused the Doubting Tom in the body of the electorate. She has squandered a 20-point lead, and the unlikely Prime Minister Jeremy Corbyn still has a fighting chance. Howbeit this possibility has sent the establishment journalists hysterical with venom. As May's lead shrunk, they have dedicated whole and half of the daily papers to the vilification of Jeremy Corbyn. Journalism has become the shame of Britain. Even the would-be high-brow political journalism of broad-sheets have blown cover. But their ubiquitous and rabid anti Corbynism has achieved an interesting blowback. Young Britons consider even the BBC just another tabloid. And not because of such stuff The scottish referendum was a last straw. www.dca.org.uk/whats-on/event/london-calling-bbc-bias-during-the-2014-scottish-independence-referendum www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/labour-polls-snap-general-election-2017-live-poll-under-40s-young-people-older-winning-a7702616.html

A PARCEL OF ROGUES IN THE KING'S COURT
Will confirm it later, but I think it was Burns, Robert Burns, a Scottish poet, mourning that filth came to be in charge of his beloved Scotland. This was the 1707 act of Union with England which, now, the likes of Nicola Sturgeon of the Scottish Nationalist party want a referendum to annul or re-confirm. But 300 years ago, some 31 commissioners were well-bribed to push through the act of Union with England. The UK did become a highly successful enterprise and Scotland did do well, many of her sons excelling as colonial governors in godforsaken ends of the warlike Earth, but Scotland's casted position of subservience to England continued to arouse nationalist irritations, some of them finding expression even in James Bond, a legendary Scot who kills and faks around the globe for country and the English Queen. Roger Moore, one of the memorable Bond folklorish heroes, died earlier last week.
PARCEL OF VERMIN
So, of what make are the returning officers of the ODM who delivered the shambolic and treacherous nominations in Nyanza? And what of the clerical schemers ticking up at Orange House Nairobi? Thinking of a famous opening like from Shakespeare on the Danish royal house, surely it is warranted to insist
... there is something rotten at the heart of Orange House!
It has been a shameful episode. And in its wake, equally shameful pandemonium as Gangs of excitable youth blocked roads with hired or not chants of NO SO$so No RAILA!
Here and there, the sheep are morphing into growling dogs. Raila Odinga managed to, in the same week in which he was crowned NASA's choice and thus the challenger to Incumbent Uhuru Kenyatta, so malign voters in his hometurf Nyanza, that what should have been a crowning achievement starts to look like a pyrrhic victory. --No xxx no Raila, No xxx no Raila, No xxx No Raila na kadhalika. Even Rasanga of Siaya is now again nullified after another sordid show which saw Rarieda Gumbo go independent.
Now Raila is out there in Nyanza trying to re-herd the sheep back to the royal pen!
Why do they do it? Why do they work so hard to sabotage Agwambo!? --of course vermin will be vermin, and the ODM in Luo Nyanza is essentially a column of filth coating Raila's body. They are parasites aware their meal ticket is coming to a biological end and are thus maximizing their profits. And the King himself is mentally too impotent to fumigate his court and royal robes. The parasites have engulfed him. Yoked him to their designs. Even his own brother Oburu managed to turn Bondo into a hostile area by orchestrating the insane rigging of Gideon Ochanda. ---in a repeat of what he did to William Oduol in 2013!
Unlike Oduol then, Ochanda got his win --Bondo MP, but not before it was understood if he didn't, Oburu Odinga would be burnt alive if he set foot in Bondo town!
The King, or the rotten court he gave too much latitude, pushed the slaves too far. And there is a mini revolt. Joho of Mombasa who late last year brought Kisumu to a standstill, apparently wasn't prepared for the rage at the grassroots. Misled by snake-oil dealers like Wanga, governor 001 campaigned for SIX PIECE IN LUO NYANZA! The denunciation was hateful. ''Wacha hiyo Joho. Six piece onge, otherwise rudi Mombao uuse chenga!'
I was amazed Joho didn't see that one coming. He is known as a grassroots man. He should have his ear to the ground. That is the only way he can go places. Loose that touch, then one has to sell like the gone General, Ababy. Joho was reminded of his battlecry : ''muizi hawezi kunitisha!' the youth yelled: 'koro in to idwaro jokuoye mondo otishwa! Wacha bwana!'
(so now you changed your mind, you think thieves should intimidate us!?)
it was nice to see a young ambitious politician driven to the canvas by peoples fury, thinking on his feet, hedging his bets on the instant! Trying to stay afloat. I hope he learnt the brutal lesson. The ODM party elite and the Nyanza grassroots do not see eye to eye on key issues. Raila is their only common issue.
And so very expensive resources which could have been used to campaign for Agwambo far and wide in Kenya, are being used to motivate or herd the sheep into the slaughterhouse of ODM corruption! One would have thought the sheep would attend the BBQ party freely of own will! A passage at the end of animal farm, when the animals look from pig to man. Thieving nominations in the local area and then evoking some fictitious communal good to underwrite the swindle of the peoples will, is this party's game plan!? A parcel of vermin!

ANGELA MERKEL BREAKS NEW GROUND --Trump as the last straw! Those who have been to Germany, those who pay attention to German lit and feel, always knew Angela Merkel's hitherto public face was fake. Germany has a seething patriotism which instinctively scares neighbours like Poland and the Tczek republic which, Postdam capitulation terms, sit on large swathes of historical 'Prussia'. That will be Sudeten and the rest, east of the Oder-Neisse line. But watch the video of the Big Man, Unification chancellor Helmut Kohl, crying like a baby as the Berlin Wall fell! Lots of Eastern and Central Europeans harbour the suspicion German nationalism conceals a dam of tears waiting to flood open on the day of the 'final Unification'! Recently, to test European brotherhood and EU peaceful coexistence forever, some grandchildren of those Germans expelled from Sudeten went to legally claim their homes and lands -- 'Heimat rights', but Milos Zeman the then Czech President didn't wait for the courts! I think the courts ruled they couldn't remember any expulsions! 'all records destroyed in the Churchillian fireball bombardments'? or, should they remember, the issue of COMPENSATIONS would arise! And then arguments about interest rates over 70 years! Angela Merkel stayed out of the argument. But a philosopher or literati whose name I now confuse --Kafka or Nietzsche, had some interesting deliberations on the silence of politicians on issues! I will one day find the time to report for Jukwaa what underground German rappers, and heavy metal rockers, yell about 'HEIMAT'! And Postdam borders! Germany is a harsh blunt place, competitive, ruthless and cold. Nobody buys German because they love Germany. Your sensitive feelings aren't their greatest business. Their business is to excel at making stuff, so if you have the money you will buy them as your first preference. They can be blunt to the point of sadism. But German politicians are ever engaged in a competition to be the most cuddly race on Earth! But, cursed like like the Greek nymph Echo, What they achieve is to make their neighbours even more nervous. For most of these neighbours are small shambaboys squatting on temporarily occupied German estates, waving treaties written on papers signed by defeated dead politicians. Watch the Pol Donald Tusk with Merkel. As Merkel puts up her act of docile puszy, Tusk shrinks in fear and the hateful realisation he is what he is in Europe because Merkel made him. It is uncomfortable to watch. You don't become president of the EU if Germany doesn't say so! Nor the chairman of the ECB for that matter. But the brutality of Germans in private conversations make them a lovable people for those with thick skins like me. It was in Germany where I first was confronted with the criticism, that Kenya is a stupid state! Millions of tourist come for the sun, sand and wildlife ---- free nature things no Kenyan did anything to bring about, yet, for all the earnings, the Kenya municipalities are still too lazy (and corrupt) to keep the beaches clean! Nor have the Kenyans an institute of wild animals veterinary sciences! Kenyans should win prices in bio-pumping technology, having unravelled how giraffe hearts pump all that blood kilometres into the sky! The man speaking had visited Malindi beach where he had experienced a section of the beautiful beach which was an open-air toilet! A decade later, what am suppose to say, seeing that the Luo capital of Kisumu cannot collect rubbish, needs a German company to do so! At a cost above the SGR overprice! And that is just one example of plane German speak. There is a rumour the current finance minister, The Big Wolf Schaeuble, tormentor of the Greeks, conqueror of Varoufakis the great, refused to accompany Merkel to Angola: 'Even if they are going to buy all the Mercedez Benzes we produce until their oil-money runs out, I wont hide my contempt for their squalid corruption and financial primitiveness!'So goes the story. I therefore do enjoy German diplomats and diplomacy. Never can a man run far from his true self than a German putting up a nice diplomatic show --I wont say especially in Africa! But even a prostitute servicing her most smelly client suffers less, I thought, watching Angela Merkel sitting meekly by Trump in her first visit to the USA. It was widely reported Trump had subbed her attempt at a handshake. Must have been a very hard swallow. And she must have drawn deepest on her iron discipline. But Trump's recent behaviour at the NATO summit in Brussels where the new multi-billion NATO headquarters was unveiled, then the g-7 summit in Sicily (where among other infamies he shoved aside the Macedonian president blocking his photo-op), followed close by Trump's withdrawal from the Paris climate accords, have pushed the German pretender sub over the edge. The claws which everybody knew were just under the cat's paws, the ready teeth which everybody waried were covers for man-chopping sabres, have flashed. It is a hint the world has taken note of. Angela delivered the historical shift matter of factly in a German campaign hall. On Nato, here is an enlightened comment. And elsewhere the firm tidings of a trade war as they say, Angela Merkel smelled the coffee. Well, just as she was forced by German nationalism to confront Obama on his eavesdropping on her phone, so too did German pressure force her to make the undeniable point official. Germany has breathed a sigh of relief, and who! And changing world power balances no doubt. Mr Li's joint news conference with German chancellor Angela Merkel, endorsing the Paris Agreement, was seen as another example of Beijing stepping into the world leadership space vacated by the United States, similar to China's championing of global trade. -NB: where is that Opus Dei CBK boy in Nairobi!? Loafing and not accompanying president Uhuru to the OBOR fanfare in Beijing!? Hail Mary! still married to the IMF and the WB like a programmed robot!? (Smell the coffee boy, go East with Kibaki, the Othaya genius now unfortunately mentally cabbage at the hands of old age in combination with chronic substance abuse over time!) The new Franco-German romance, fair winds under the wing of the EU? Merkel has cut loose from the transatlantic fiery embrace. But what can Europe do abroad without American military power? One, become a military power too I suppose. In any case, all options are on the table as they say! Interesting times.

THE VERSIONS OF HISTORY AND EVOLVING KENYAMkuu, I am only reacting because I have the honour of teachers at heart. And you are one of us, even if, temporarily outsourced to nyumbakubwa, the politicians pay you more for something else. Bad lessons. You remember how a smart, post-independence native teacher handles the subject of the colonial version of history? The nation is freshly independent, the text books have not been changed yet, and one passage by say Robert Ruark reads, 'The first man to see Lake Victoria was John Speke. And David Livingstone discovered lake Nyasa!'The smart teacher doesn't get angry, does he? It is an opportunity to teach the lesson of a lifetime. He or she scratches his or her nose, tilts head and looks bland at the class. He or she gives the smart ones time to figure it out for themselves whether their ancestors, black, had seen or discovered the African lakes themselves, or, well, used all those waters all those millennia while waiting for the whiteman to discover, name them, be the first men to see them! Does Moshi O Tunya translate to Victoria falls?But the class always Gets into an immediate uproar! And the smart teacher takes a back seat pretending shock. He lets the young minds educate him some, a powerful device to engage them full blast. And at the end of the lesson, their homework is to go research and write the truer, better version of their history then. The deeper trick is to find out if the smart African boys too, will write up their own propaganda as the nation's history, erasing, for instance, the role of women in every chapter, or, welcome to ethnocentrism, write maligning and insulting treatises eradicating deemed lesser peoples - ---like the Ogieks of Kenya, The Twa (pygmies) of Rwanda and Congo, or the 'Hottentots' of Namibia and Botswana. Yap, Mkuu. So I read your review and thought, smart history teacher that I am, even if on low pay, that a bit of my Luo character must come to the fore. This is the ' pakrwok' bit! --PAKRWOK is the jocular session in a ceremony called NYADHI where the Luo's excel in blowing their own trumpets. Like 'Doctor Mazee aluongora kingi waya kamin Festo Kollela Kaoyo!' 'Owino gare ochayo Thim Jashirati wuod Adongo, opuk pek n'otenga!'
'Enie Gor Mahia, da dani ma kineno to ineno jachien!'' This nyadhi option of pakrwok ---folks at the top of their game blowing their own trumpets with the boisterous banter of Verkys on the alto sax, is a cultural trait which the Luo elite finished off in Nairobi grime and slime state school of corruption, no longer can claim nor exhibit. They are depersonalised beasts, in Cabralian terms, outside their historical identity That is why top Logisticians charged with collecting OKOA signatures brought back hieroglyphics; Dr. Evans charged with cleaning up Nairobi dirties it more like the late zero Margaret Kenyatta did, and Orange House takes more bribes to rig ODM nominations than a traffic cop on the highway, thus throwing Luo Nyanza into the turmoil of independents versus the rot of six piece pathology. This means Kenyans in Nairobi are used to highly professional but mediocre Luos who wouldn't dare blow their trumpet lest they drown in ridicule! (Explains why aces like PLO Lumumba never criticise corruption anymore. He once headed the earlier version of the non-performing EACC!) But the homeland Nyanza is different. Not all folk is alienated from their professional dignity. We have matatu drivers known as PILOTS, bodaboda cyclists known as The Navigator (dribbles through traffic like Henry through the waves!), drummers known as The Owner (Wuon Bunde). This later refers to one hit and the drums start to play themselves, which can be a synthesiser trick of course! We also have women known as Adhiambo Sianda, and they are not hiding it. Oh no, they blow their own trumpets in the most outrageous fashions!Now, there is a section we call the DO YOU KNOW ME'. This is where a musician come overnight to a funeral gets to know what kind of people he is entertaining and condoling with. It costs ksh.500/minute these days. 'Do you know me?'' -- One stops the musician to ask. 'No, but I am thinking once I do, my pockets will be heavy!' responds the lyricist. 'I am the independent candidate who will beat Agwambo at his rigging game!' 'I am not your returning officers from Nairobi who issue certificates in the bush!''I am saving you the xxx-rated ones. Oloo's Jukwaa has become a conformist scared stiff of culture. Didn't you see him fish out a gun like NAZI Goebbels and hold it over my head over a painting? Anyway, so goes the --DO YOU KNOW ME---- night in a contest of wit traceable to the cattle-praising days on the lush planes below the Shilluki mountain ranges. OMOK DUOL (I )
We heaped a mound of dry animal droppings We lit a fire to let it smoulder through the night Warriors slept around the heat as others kept guard The cattle enjoyed the company of voices they knew Wild animals and insects were kept at bay by the smoke Sleepless old men passed on the tales of their nation to the youngConsider M'Mkuu on Raila: And then, for those with a memory, consider the epicentre of PEV was in the Rift Valley. How did Raila, this being the demonstration he led I suppose, manage to convince Kalenjin peasant youth to uproot poor Gikuyu peasants!?Eh, Enigma!? Smart history teachers like yours truly, put their hands in their pockets before the young Kenyan students, and copy the act of their earlier peers who taught them about how Speke discovered lake Victoria or not, or Livingstone Lake Nyasa or not! Or how Dedan Kimathi and his Mau Mau band were a group of insane terrorists and machete-point rapists, or not! You wouldn't want to preconclude the smartness of young Kenyans would you! I know propaganda pays well, and with inflation being what it is, pays well is enough reason for lots of Kenyans to no longer be able to blow their own trumpets on their performance! It is also possible Nairobians are like women in a certain line of business who do not boast of their trade. But the kids must just be fed. Watch it mkuu, nobody can pay you, a born teacher, high enough to commit intellectual suicide. You would commit physical suicide first. But I am sure you have a poker face on this! It is high stakes at the table! that season!

(5B) COLLECTING ENEMY SKULLS, PLUNDERING FOREIGN TREASURES
That is the age-old imperial sport of financing deficits. Follow the money, it is always the economy stupid.
NB: Obama was hot on the EU for refusing to soft-land Greece. That is an unconditional bail-out. He was scared Greece would go Russian friendly. This month Puerto Rico has gone bust. Puerto Rico belongs to the dollar commonwealth of the USA. The Europeans are giggling discreetly. You wont hear Obama speeching on Puerto Rico's fortunes though, will ya!?
HUNTER GATHERERS ON THE RAMPAGE ABROAD --foreign wars
Let us think of the sad adventures of the Libyan Investment Fund (LIA) at the crafty hands of GoldmanSachs. And remember that is the bank the Kenyan trio of aces Rotich Thugge and Njoroge entrusted the Eurobond to. In toto.
One gotta know his bankers.
With the SGR project being the epoch-changing investment project of the our Kenya, so much so that Jubilee is apportioning all the credit to itself, thereby to milk all possible electoral gain, I always asked some economists why Rotich and Co didn't, even as a goodwill measure if not a prudent spreading of risks, award a portion of the Eurobond to the custody of the Chinese Exim Bank! I mean these China guys are funding the heroic SGR from scratch to grave, and the eurobond was, after all, for infrastructure! Yawa! But Obama has now joined the lucrative lecture circuit. No, not the college tour, but the wall street high table where they pay 10G per word for some ex-presidents. No, I don't think they are paying him for nutting out the deep stuff. I think these are constructions to award bonus, these are extra rewards for facilitating looting abroad. So what are they paying him for, if not the above? Whose money is it that is spent that cheap, if not the loot from abroad? It is the Hilary Clinton saga which provides a good clue to how they see it themselves. Bernie Sanders poked her make-up. Beholden!? One needs to demystify such concepts, like in the case of deconstructing 'rectal feeding' to its true horror: ritual anal rape to establish control and induce cooperation.
OF CASH AND VIDEOS FROM LIBYA
We need take a trip to Libya. Obama has perpetually sought to blame the Libyan mess on sh!tty Europeans. But he is being disingenuous. One thing is that, in having Gaddaffi rectally force-fed a stake or bayonet and availing the collector's item video to Hilary in public, he afforded us a clean visitation at her soulless perversity and morbid personality.
Courtesy of POTUS and his secretary of state the dishevelled colonel developed a weird tail As if of a fistula menstruating without paddies Viscous fluid oozed from his unders and climbed down his thighs.
The dazed colonel was a dead man walking to an unknown grave. ------ It was a medieval act of horror, but it had the ironically crystal effect of outing Hilary Clinton for what she really is: a monster. One has to watch her in grotesque glory as she shivers in orgasmic delight at such a treat. It is the snuff video, the gory report of the colonel in his dead walk with a weird tale:
Smart kid Obama must know. He is being rewarded in part for this his single most dastardly act on the African continent. His wall street keeps are mercenary wages for skulls collected abroad and booty brought home from sacked treasuries. GoldmanSachs raid on the Libyan forts of Gold was particularly awesome. Then, as if to destroy records forever, Obama and Hilary left Libya a smouldering ruins like the Romans left Carthago.
LOOTING LIBYA, KILLING GADAFFI, OBAMA'S REWARD
Here is a hint of the story from their own wall-street allied press, Bloomberg How Goldmansachs lost Libya's money!? They din't loose it. They stole it, then made constructions and cover stories to hide the theft.
Unlike French banks with no equally powerful state to protect them form litigation, GoldmanSachs has the USA state, so the cases in London have very different outcomes!
This is what informed Uhuru Kenyatta's laughter at Auditor General Ouko! that was when the auditor was minded to play fiscal detective in New York, to find the leaking accounts. Ouru Kenyatta may not have had an option on where to bank our Eurobond! ---Tribute!
Will our new patron China understand our predicament, or will they smile at the prey in a perfect trap, and exact a tough price for our confused priorities!?
Empires give no quarters.

OBAMA'S LEGACY: (5) THE DESTRUCTION OF GADDAFI'S LIBYAPRELUDE: If Bill Clinton was the come-back kid, Barrack Obama was the smart kid of Washington DC. Hilary never claimed to be anything more than Hilary, wherefore will I be less tempted to interrogate her in the main. Barrack is the guy, senator he was then, who insighted Dubya's declaration of mission accomplished (over Iraq) was stupidity, the invasion of Iraq itself under false pretences having been even more stupid and myopic. Where Donald Trump danced sword dances with the medieval Wahabist's of Saudi Arabia ----for the good purpose of American jobs and arms sales, Obama was known to seethe with suspicion at America's favourite ally in the middle east bar Israel. Barry was also wary of the corruption Saudi oil money had wrought in Washington, especially in the ME Think Tanks hovering around the White House. He found it sensible to explore a different scenario for the resolution to the Iranian problem, or say, the Iranian nuclear program. Then, the last minute haste with which he pardoned the WIKILEAKS FEEDER Chelsea/Bradley Manningsuggests the commander in chief was in turmoil all these years the whistle blower was under a torture regime. May be daughters Sasha and Malia asked him some uncomfortable questions at the dinner table after this kind of stuff was debated in college. While outside he was stoic like the Spartan (of the placid face while fox ate up his insides) Obama no drama seems to have been having some internal dramas all the same. Aloof and Cold-blooded emperor he kept the appearance, and true to duty he was ----spectacularly failing to close Guantanamo Bay, but there is reason to suspect he knew he was full of bull, and shhh. Now that his memoirs have been auctioned for a record amount, there is reason to salivate if it wont be an exercise in redactions, you know, kind of like the pages of Nabokov's Lolita would look at a Saudi bookfare after the censors have had their read!What will his prized memoirs say he thought and felt, when he pondered the full meanings behind the medical euphemisms RECTAL FEEDING, rectal rehydration, walling and the other 'softening up', robust techniques the CIA used on suspected Muslim terrorists in the company's black sites dotted around the globe? Glimpses of such 'enhanced practices' on prisoners came with such reports as these in the Miami Herald. For psychopaths, or stupid people or soldiers obeying their orders, there is no problem. But for a smart kid, thinker and former lecturer at law, ace graduate of the best law school in his country, risen to commander in chief of God's bastion of good on this satanic planet, this kind of data must raise fundamental questions, questions of evil and good. Questions about the nature of civilisation one belongs to, upholds, evangelically defends and spreads. When good people do evil things to evil people; they still good, or have they become merely evil people doing evil things to other evil people? The Christian faith with its doctrines of redemption and mercy has no place in the business of running an avowed Christian empire, even after the enlightenment!? ---(Ha! What did the colonial slave ever know from the Christian master, but the harsh sting of the whip!? And who remembers the official narrative of apartheid south africa!) That is a contemplation beyond Hilary Clinton, lucky her, but not Barrack Obama. Barrack is the smart thinking kid. Philosopher King. If as senator he twitched his nose at illegal wars, did he grow up as commander in chief to appreciate the niceties of 'rectal feeding?' Did he end up defending medical torture in the face of the scepticism of his daughters, Malia and Shasha? If he is serious, his own experience at the helm brings forth quite a horde to nut, even outside the classroom engagements. Consider Barrack intellectualising the law for beasts in the big bad world like this Hayden Below! But that is all a by the way. It is to Libya I wanna home, next.

THE FORTUNES OF MKABAYI, PRINCESS COUNSELLOR OF THE TZULUMkabayi had acted regent as young brother and crown prince Senzangakhona (All is Well-done) grew up. It is a time of crisis and the Zulu throne is up for grabs. Aging King Jama kaNdaba has no male heir apparent. His able, ruthless and obviously ambitious young daughter, a twin who should have been killed at birth but was spared by parental love over duty, is unsettlingly looking like going for a matriarchal coup of shocking proportions. She is effectively, already in charge as lead counsellor. The other option is Sojiyisa, an illegitimate son the King had sired or not with a deemed lowly cu-nt from the Thonga tribe. These were untouchables yet highly screwables, which of course sets the stage for drama of royal proportions. Of Baganda women too they say 'sero yot to weyo tek!' (No one who beds a Buganda woman ever forgets Buganda women!) So too the legend of the Thonga. Illigitimte Sojiyisa was laying claim already to the soon-to-be empty Zulu throne, the infant Senzangakhona being an easily dispatchable foe. He underestimated his half-sister, Mkabayi, then effectively regent. He wouldn't be the first, nor the last royal fool to suffer the delusion being male is all it takes. Here is the iconic eyes of Gugu Nxumalo, acting young Mkabayi in the hit series Tshaka. As I said, her role in the death of Tshaka continues to divide opinion eternally. I therefore took a lot of care between the lines in the popular depiction of Tshaka's death at the movies in this serie, and Tshaka's biting last words: 'The swallows have won, Mkabayi!' But digital had arrived over analogue, gunpowder over the spear. Mkabayi had been the peak of the old order. Today 2017, Jacob Nzuma of the ANC is the president of South Africa. He is not of royal Zulu lineage. The Zulu royal house is some retarded relic in the cooler, waiting for historical greener pastures after Gatsha Buthelezi's mistakes. A bit like the Abel Muzorewa mistake in Zimbabue. But I must say Jacob Zuma very much looks like the lazy fun-loving siblings Mkabayi so detested as nothing but the banes of a Kingdom. If Kingdoms can go under because of imbeciles at the top, so can republics! And history is a long time. Anyway, she had a nose for intrigue; we are already introduced to young Mkabayi as a fixer when, they say out of gratitude to her father, she secretly affords him a wife. This is the Lady Mthaniya, and she bears the aging King a legitimate male heir. Daddy Jama's act of kindness was to have spared Mkabayi's life and her twin, Mmama, whom tradition demanded be killed to fend off bad luck. This story alone is very much the subject of many twists in Zulu folklore. Some bad-press songs do not put it past her to have secretly poisoned off her male siblings to maintain her position of power beside her beguiled father; that only at the last moment does she allow a late-comer to live, confident she will be indispensable as regent or lord protector. In any case the woman Mthaniya would bear King, Jama kaNdaba, the son and sole legitimate heir Senzangakhona. This man (whose names means Well-Done) would be the father of Tshaka Tzulu. A repeat of the bastard story from the earlier generation! Tshaka is born out of wedlock. And of course there is a prophecy in the tale too. Actually a bit like in the birth of Paris the son of Priamos, King of Troy, not to mention Jesus of Nazareth or Moses of Egypt. Both births led to the infanticide of male infants as threatened Kings sought to curtail prophesied outcomes. To no avail. These are universally gripping tales. We will come to Tshaka doing the same. Such are the pathological depths of royal paranoia. In another decisive act long after she had handed over full reigns to the fun-loving young King Senzangakhona, and now enjoyed power as his seer, she double-crosses tradition by letting Tshaka and his mother, Nandi, escape to avoid the death sentence which would annul the troubling prophecy. Her act leads to a dramatic scene in the narratives, a scene in which the Kings's most trustworthy brigadier, is ritually killed: he is sacrificed, and he sacrifices himself willingly to duty. The sensitive King is horrified as his most trusted lieutenant ---who has just saved his prophetic son escape from death------ reads him his role: ''Tell the people I was insubordinate and treacherous. I helped them escape, against your will and express orders!'There surely could have been a 'lesser' sacrifice, the grief-striking King thinks. MKABAYI: 'he was the only one who could be trusted with the prophecy. The rest would betray!'The King is out of his depth on matters of state. (these days we do plausible deniability). Meanwhile Mkabayi is not impressed with the array of sons out to jump-start Tshaka in the inheritance of the royal throne. As head of a powerful royal court and district, she's been gathering intelligence on the fortunes of Tshaka who, under the innovative Dingiswayo of the Mthethwa, was now a notably competent and all-ruthless general. This instrument of fate now had to come home, and bastard he be or not, come into full royal inheritance. But that must take a murder, or two, of course. There can only be one King. The rest are plotters. Shaka's rivals bite the dust. There is another merry question. Some dynasts do everything to sire a son, or successor. Others kill such, do everything to curtail the possibility of a rival child, son or daughter. But did Nandi and Mkabayi collude to have Tshaka father a male inheritor and ship him away to safety, whereupon, flying into a fit of rage on discovering the treachery of his own mother, the King committed matricide? Having cut the last what held him to material reality, the King now mutated into a raving, nihilist lunatic. Who else but Mkabayi would solve that? By another murder perhaps, like in Old Rome!? Tshaka had outlived his usefulness and Mkabayi was there to see he was dispatched. Unflinchingly for the good of the nation always! But the result was a coalition Kingship. There was going to be a civil war soon, and so some coup plotters had to go, to cool things down. Dingane soon killed Mlangana at the advice of Mkabayi and that was that. When General Mpande defeated Dingane much later in another blood-feud over power, he had no time for the Old Witch of an aunt, but he couldn't dare execute her, so he exiled her to a distant cave to spend the rest of her short days alone. She was now a very old woman. Having outlived her usefulness in turn I guess. The counsellor, Nestor of the Tshakan empire at its peak, lived to a ripe old age in a world of low-life expectations. She was unweighed down to an early grave, neither by the marital stresses of stupid husbands and risky child-births, nor by the blowback of the intrigues of the power struggles she instigated. Imagine she had penned her memoirs! But no worries. Zulu poets, writers and artists have been at it for the past century, and will continue to be at it the next Millennium. She spans near a century of turbulence at the heart of power and only Tshaka, the peak, is her equal. And then Afro-feminists are yet to discover her! Nobody with some historical imagination who hears of this remarkable women is left unbitten. Like the black desert scorpion whose sting carries a poison which, legend has it, cooks the brain, Mkabayi's life story cooks the minds of those who visit her to boiling point. And they get wings, their thoughts fly, and fly! So sometimes I find myself wondering what a MKABAYI mind, upgraded to our times, pimped up by an Ivy-league scholarship as it were, would author as counsel for some 'bastard' President who really wanted Africa to go places. Places like the peak! Honestly I was thinking about an evaluation of Zigbniew Bzerzinksi (1928-2017). A Jukwaa obituary. I read some data and slept on it to let it cook in my sleep. But what came out was MKABAYI kaJama! Old Witch hijacked my sleeping mind! And I said, Stockholm syndrome or not -My Lady, I am game. I will do you better than guitar wizard Luambo Makiadi did Mobutu!so What would she do with the Canadian conman Wily Mutunga on chapter six? Or the overpaid parasite Githu Muigai? How would she look at William Ruto who wants to be King of Kenya, but makes a living selling rotten maize to Kenyans at exorbitant rip-off rates? How would she look at Museveni with his cabinet of 80+ ministers, or the new Ghanainian prezzo with his odd 110? How would she look at the obese youngster Joseph Kabila, lazy like the broken drunkard Mzilikazi in his lte days? the blind Nkurunziza of Burundi? And yes, you guessed it. How would this ruthless b!tch look at Raila Odinga, with his ODM having delivered their 'win-win' nominations? in the heartland! The nominations were a competitive process in which there are no loosers! Everybody is a winner baibe, and that's no lie --Errol Brown, Hot Chocolate! In my worst nightmares she looks at the Luo King with the studied earnestness which all recognise is contempt and scorn. 'There is no replacement fo you yet, King. Fidel is dead and Rosemary must rest. You are a peak, but in the past, but we bear you along as a treasured memory. A nostalgic heirloom. The bastard candidates, the Independents, are the future. One hopes Rosemary recovers her head and enters the new world, not the past which now must die with you!'Its a new world awakening.

MADARAKA EXPRESS OPENS FOR SERVICE No, there was no Joho at the launch on May 31-2017! It pleased the heart of Uhuruto to pretend Governor 001 is a nobody in Mombasa! What an anti-climax! The governor of the country at which the Madaraka express was launched, was barred from the official function attended by the President and his vice. Even on an occasion where pettiness should be avoided, Don Quixote and Pancha come out full in regressive attire! www.nation.co.ke/news/Hassan-Joho-blocked-from-SGR-launch-in-Miritini/1056-3949220-15k0ixl/ Anyway a Chinese firm will be operating the railway until they recover the costs and interests. That is at least 10 years --unless of course we find some other way to pay faster. This prudence on the part of the Chinese is the big story. I read in an eastern quarterly that the Kenyans and their state are not known to run anything successfully. That the company which out-performs all local companies past even total government revenues is called SAFARICOM, and those who own it have never trusted it to a Kenyan, which would point to the need for the Chinese to run the expensive railway themselves if they are not to loose their big money! Now, we cant run our beautiful railway with its 19th century technology, and here we are, the top political leadership fighting amongst themselves who should wave the flag to launch it! ---Wich dinyni gimarach ndi! (infantile antics by Uhuruto, even if they are understandly scare of public scrutiny of the construction cost of the 'exorbitant express'! They say Joho refused to come in like Ababu Namwamba did! so the state hath some fury to meet his way!

IT HAS BEEN DONEThat is the way they would say it in bloody Rome. It would mean the sword had run through the flesh and politics had to contend with a new fact. In Rome, the most irreversible fact was always murder. Whatever else happened, dead people stayed dead. And so the report would read, it has been done. Roman politics loved murder. The IEBC has cleared the main candidates and tickets, NASA's principals and JUBILEE principals, so to speak safi kama pamba. Maraga's bench, forced to pretend a hearing on integrity issues, prompted by some Kenyans, is therefore an irrelevance, even if an expensive turn out or robes and wigs. The CJ is like a puppet King in his artificial palace allowed orderlies to address him as His Highness to keep up appearances, while outside tough guys like M7 call them folklore things. Recently one tried to get out of his folklorish role, M7 seized the opportunity to make bloody point. But an important point has to be made, just to underscore that I understand the tremendous stress dull Maraga has to operate under. 1. A long long time ago, the young United States after defeating colonial Britain in 1783, adopted a state of the renaissance constitution. Ratified in 1787 it had a potent section called bill of rights.All that stuff about all men being equal. This was of course the Industrial bourgeoisie declaring themselves no longer subservient by birth to the aristocracy. If the Britons thought blue blood was superior to common blood, fine, but not in the new world, America. Here, the bourgeois rebellion against the aristocratic caste system was complete. But there was an old problem in the New World. All the new world was still running on an old labour relationship, production system: total slavery, peonage and bondage, feudal in deed, in a racial hierarchy. The whites a nobility, the blacks, slaves. There needed to be a ruling. There needed to be a constitutional interpretation, a reading of the nature of the humanity of THE BLACK PERSON. -- Were black people human, man enough, to be encompassed within the BILL OF RIGHTS of the renaissance constitution of the young USA!?The case came before an American version of Chief Justice Maraga, Wily Mutunga, or Justices Warsame, Majanja, Lenaola
... and the rest of the great learned friends .... or scumbugs of the nairobi JSC! I forget how they ruled this chapter six controversy of their time ---yeah, bill of rights controversy. But I suspect they fakt it up, because it would take a civil war some time later to argue the point out! --Of course some Americans still insist to date, Blacks have no souls. Black are outside the bill of rights in full! their lives do not matter! ---wait for a court ruling on that too! So I always listen to lawyers with half of my mind on history, the sword. It is not that Maraga is bad. No, the guy is a gentleman by popular reports. He is just a man of his time. American courts weren't so sure blacks were people in 1790! May be they were, HUMANOID, but definitely 'UNTER', SUB. So no hard hearts if Maraga and his benches do not know what the fuss is all about this chapter six! Point two: After 9/11, George the Dubya Bush, Dick Cheney his vice, and the Donald Rumsfeld, had a team of top American lawyers develop the thesis that Arab terrorists were not human enough to be covered by the Geneva conventions.So they built Guantanamo Bay. Proud half son of our Land Barrack Obama, former professor of constitutional law at Chicago, warmed my Luo heart when he dismissed Dr. Torture Memo John Choon Yoo of Berkeley California. Yes, the echo here is these radical Muslims are 'untermensch', and with such you neither do Geneva nor Miranda. John Choon Yoo had placed the USA outside renaissance.Some supreme court (in New York I believe it was) had to rule whether 'Muslim terrorists' were human enough to be covered by the Geneva conventions! I mean some ....say.... Justice Maraga or Mutunga or Majanja, or Ibrahim or Lenaola or Warsame had to interpret the USA constitution: do Al-Qaida people have rights!? I am just saying this chapter six thing isn't really that much of a head-cracker. In fact I can think it out just having read the constitution as a lay man! But it has been done. The faking up of the constitution. But now, what lies a head, by way of correction?

MKABAYI KAJAMA 1760-1840, who?Having been distanced from our history by the priorities of colonial education, I don't expect many fellow Africans to have heard of Mkabayi Kajama. But all of you have doubtless heard of (the recently late) Zigbniew Bzerzinski. He is the reckless hero who went the enemy of my enemy is my friend, a Maoist dictum, wherewith he lead the USA into a marriage of convenience with Militant Sunni Islam in Afghanistan against the evil Soviets. The blowbacks have been harsh, from 9/11 to Manchester on the eve of his death, but I guess that is all acceptable collateral damage in the global chess game, full spectrum dominance. Chess games of power and dominance. That is how thinking about the obituary of the great Zigbniew brought me to the legendary Mkabayi. She was a Zulu princess and lead counsellor of the nation for several generations of Kings, also during Tshaka's reign. But her prowess and prominence was such that popular patriarchal fiction often confers upon her, malicious infamy. In one of the most successful commercial ventures, she appears in various shades of ornamental accompaniment to Tshaka. The cinematographic portrayals of Tshaka by south African Cele have become stuff of legend.. The senses of Zulu folklore and culture, however, shines with both hypnotic infatuation and patriarchal disgust at her indomitable mind, spirit of public service and nunnish disposition. It is her, for instance, who, Tshaka having gone insane after his power fails to protect his mother from King Death, made the decision the tyrant too had to go. Better His Highness go join his Holy Mother in the afterlife foreverafter, than wreak more destruction on the living planet in his insatiable bloodthirst.But of course there is another version which hints it was the King himself responsible for the Elephant Mother's death! -where art thee, forensic detectives of the cold cases! Then too, the men having no balls to speak of, it was the dedicated public servant Mkabayi who arranged the scene of the monster's death, for that is what the legendary King had become. The controversial princess also arranged the manner and the succession. In deed as she famously told her brother Senzangakhona, the father of Tshaka, when they were still young and she his mental custodian as she would always remain, 'I may lack that thing between male knees which gives you sole rights to the throne, but between the ears I double up content on anybody with a dangle between the thighs!'She never married, unable to bear the stupidities wives are forced to undergo under their lesser husbands. Nor did she care to subject a man to the indignities which are reputed to have driven Margaret Thatcher's husband to the bottoms of the bottle. For aristocratic men, guardians of patriarchy, do not take kindly to women beyond them and their sterile world. NB: --On a lighter note, Cheryl Blair, Michelle Obama, Hilary Clinton are a few examples of contemporary, better women forced to bear the indignities and humiliations from lesser husbands! Such roles, much more suited to trophy-babe Melania Trump perhaps, is a domesticated fate the Iron Zulu Princess Mkabayi would never contemplate. --Nor would Angela Merkel!And then there is the tabloid press on the life-long single Zulu princess: she may have been nunnish, but was she chaste!? Or was she the secret priestess of an unmentionable erotical cult? But we will do the tabloids later. First, matters of state. continued.

MKABAYI, PRINCESS OF THE AMAZULUMKABANE kaJama (1760-1840) Public service in Africa is due for overhaul. Oh Mkabayi Kajama, I dreamt of you! Old wizard! I dreamt of you listening to the GM Luambo Luanzo Thundering away passionate at Mobutu candidat na Biso!
I dreamt your nose twitched, and the guitarist lost his lines You consoled every court must have its share of genial fools For power has an insatiable appetite for sycophants and praise songs!I dreamt of your malice, sizing up the present crop of infants, the baby-boys and imperial toys Africans miscall their Excellencies. I spied thee, a dead star in the skies, yearning from the grave to be regent over the continent. I spied thee impatient as we, woefully, await the maturity kingdom come, await a matured head like that of your boy Tshaka, the cruel-hearted, nation-forging bloody tyrant. Old Witch, I dreamt of you pursing your lips dark at the phrase AFRICA RISING, and there was a poetical malevolence lingering in your eye. I dreamt you would never be the type outed by post-colonial African experience as just another sorry
... what was that again the likes of Sembene Ousmane called them? ...
.
.............. Or may be this Alexander O'Neil song Public service in Africa is due for an overhaul. I agree, public service in Africa is long overdue for a radical overhaul. How do I know? (Joke: Wafula Chebukati and his IEBC rats have belled the wrong cats! The dead cats only) AFRICA IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY, NOW THEN AND TOMORROWTo think public service in Africa needs a fix, I just check the official statistics of the world economy. Then do a peer comparative run. However dumb, one does get the disturbing rate of relative performance. But elementary 'poverty indices' can also do. Nigeria and Congo top the world on the extreme edge. And what does one notice about these two countries? Yeah Natural resources-wise, God did love them deepest and widest! Still their peoples are ever broke. Time their broken backs broke even. How many people live in Africa, segregated or differentiated to age too; what is Africa's landmass and geographical resources endowment; and given all that, how fast has Africa's contribution to, or share of the world economic cake, risen in the past half a century? Gotta measure progress somehow. THE SOUTH KOREAN GRAPH IN COMPARISON EXTREME POVERTY, checking Nigeria and DRC Congo out! Down there with Bangladesh, Haiti and other hell holes. NEXT: MKABAYI KAJAMA 1760-1840, who? Sszenzangakhona's Zigbniew.

Thus, as an introduction. To this thread.
Public service in Africa is due for overhaul. Or perhaps it is like an outmoded version of software which no longer can be upgraded. It just reached its logical dead-end. That is the driving idea here. And public service being an ancient business, it is not like modern hyper- and super-technology have forged the Troglodyte's mind any better to deal with the fundamental questions. For all I know, we, human kind, upright apes with oppositional thumbs, are busy industrially exhausting the Earths capabilities as a habitat that sustains mass human life, and as an organism which regenerates from bio-degradation. The planet is creaking with filth, not to mention oceans as toxic dumps. And that is just the wasted environment.
LIMITED, WINNABLE NUCLEAR WAR
I heard men talk of a winable NUCLEAR WAR. I told myself, d-amn, there goes THE BLUE PLANET, my paradise in the galaxy! there it goes in a mutating cloud of radiation!
Modern man is mad enough to collectively suicide us all! --A winable nuclear war!
So I checked how many kilotons of nuclear bombs exploding in toto constitute such a limited nuclear war. I checked that kiloton mushroom against what scientist simulate The World would be like the morning after! Will there be a pill for it?
Dam-n! China is gone, Russia is gone, All Korean peninsular is gone, Iran and Middle East are gone, half of North America is gone, Western Europe is gone, half of Africa is gone. That is the bad scenario. Worst case is the whole planet gone because things got out of hand. The Big Bangs for real. Best case is only the enemies of the USA gone! --China Russia North Korea and Iran! Gone before they can retaliate. A Blitzkrieg success!
I thought of the global chess game, the author having died this week.
And so I thought, when, in the past, did the Luo nation face possible extinction and continue on as normal!? But I fell asleep and dreamt of Mkabayi kaJama, counsellor of the Kings. Amazullu Kings.
Her story is long and complex, but can hilariously be told!

LEGENDS OF THE LUO, PERSPECTIVES This is about thinking the unthinkable! No, I will only be doing legendary decisions. The ' No Kenyatta no Uhuru' decision for instance. This decision was made by Jaramogi Odinga when offered the presidency by the British in 1962. But Jaramogi wasn't your Abel Muzorewa. Few of us modern Kenyans, not to mention grieving Luos with a parasitic and treacherous power instinct, having grown up on a diet of inferior and treacherous leadership, can imagine a Kenyan can be that principled, could possibly be that endowed with moral depth in public office. But then, few of us can imagine the self-sacrifice of many a Mau Mau hero, nor, as evidenced by our ridicule, can we fathom John Githong'o's principled refusal to join the Mwai Kibaki banquet of loot when it was clearly 'his turn to eat!'. --This poverty of imagination is no big deal, for, this week, as the herd went into a reflective stampede, did you catch anybody publicly imagine rational reasons why a Manchester youth of Libyan origins would blow himself up in a concert of underages? Yeah, the human condition, O fallible being! I will only be doing legendary decisions (of the Luo)! The personalities will adequately be covered by other people. --Such legends as Gor Mahia wuod Ogalo, Lwanda Magere, Bunglu Kagwanga (first Luo head of the praetorian guard of some early Uganda kingdom I can't remember now but will, later), Lala Kabanda, Nyamgondho wuon Ondare (his wife was a water nymph and Lake Victoria Nam Lolue is the gathering of the tears the gods shed over her grave), Ramogi Podho, Nyikal omin Nyikang'o, Opir omin Dipir
..... and all that endless list all the way to Nubia and Shilluki mountains, then back to the contemporary and controversial Amollo Tinga. All that will be done by others as persons. Otherwise, finding time, I will do them in my style. Easy and tabloid, intermittent and interspaced anecdotal, folklorish and artefactoral! Here is Mboya Tom, here is Raila Tinga. And of course, this being the Luo pivot library, I will use Arguings CMG Kodhek ---saver of many a Mau Mau neck through readings and interpretations of constitutional and criminal law beyond simplistic and constrained colonial courts----- to showcase why I so easily dismiss the legal scholarship of all these learned friends who were charged with institutionalising the integrity clause, aka chapter six of the new constitution. Imagine Arguenge CMG's mind at work, fixing chapter six in place for posterity! Man Man Man! I get a hard-on at the thought! (and then, looking at what we have to do with, that passion solidifies into a rage beyond Tshaka Tzulu's insanity. And that is for starters!) Omera Otiende Amollo, Wily Mutunga! Omera Githu Muigai, David CJ Maraga! I dry-run you through the Kodhek yardstick, found you unripe, found you weeds clogging the lungs of a land! But on a Kenyan scope with our national dedication to mediocrity, you guys are great! Exceptional learned friends! Later then. Let me first do ADULTS ONLY!

CJ MARAGA AND HIS JUDICIAL APPARATUS ARE OF COURSE OUT OF ITwe forget him for latere when it is time to tackle jokers.We visiting other options on the historical table. A columnist in the D-nation has caught my attention. He has nowhere to run to after he has done his thinking and concluded CHAPTER SIX IS DEAD! and there is no one to help! so help me God! Case closed! www.nation.co.ke/oped/Opinion/magesha-why-chapter-six--cnstitution-dead/440808-3943758-w74a4s/index.html But the dead chapter six! has a ghost! yet to be exorcised. Chineke the African bird nods The IEBC did a Pontius Pilate. They crucified some lesser thieves but for the divines, Agwambo T., Muthamaki UK, Hustler Singh, Gideon MDVD, the ball back to Maraga's court! But Hey, nobody else appears keen to do their job!? ---what a desperate situation! That is when you read your culture. For precedents, contemporary or ancient! This is Kenya, a ruthless place. If you know how to read the street, elite impotence wont be the biggest deal to lament. Jobs can be done. And Holy Sh!t, you really don't wanna know how, do you? Here is a scene from the things men do when they have had enough. A tale of two republics, and unification blues! They will definitely get it from Koome, unless they are Shabaabs in Somalia blowing up cops at the border. MAKMENDE THE DIRTY HARRY Here is the key VIOLENT CLAMPDOWN ON SUSPECTED CRIMINALS!? Oh! So there are some Kenyans not worth a read of The MIRANDA!? All we show is a MIXED REACTION of others support and others displeasure at extrajudicial killings, in broad daylight! --We are really cold at heart aint we! So here is the Chineke the bird, dry-running that precedent. And what did the public opinion research companies report!? Opinion continues to be divided whether the killer cops are national heroes or super villains. Vote here for an Internet poll! footnote: NO MERCY footnote Now, these people who are selling years old, poor-storaged Mexican-SA maize for ksh.2000/bag above the market value to Wanjiku, they aint robbing in daylight? That is the tale of two republics locked in a death dance of unification.

bringing down the price of a staple Subsidised Profit or a rip-off! how cheap is the maize really!? Don Quixtoe and Pancha! or do we ask the former head of macro-economics at the CBK, Rotich!?
(how did wheat-flour importation work in Mubarak's Egypt? see tales from explaining how the first family of Egypt garnered a 90 billion dollar fortune in 20 years! and the line Mohammed Morsi crossed on the politics of wheat-flour importation!)

INTEGRITY: THE CASE OF THE MISSING NAMES! Read more at: www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2001241018/iebc-on-the-spot-as-20-aspirants-are-blacklisted-by-civil-societyRome was not built in a day. We can't kill all the rotten birds with one stone. Kidogo kidogo hujasa kibaba. One small crook at time will lead to the top crooks tumbling. The people to barred are of course the top contestants: Uhuru Kenyatta, Raila Odinga, William Ruto, Kalonzo Musyoka, Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetangula. That one is the raw truth. But some acts do not require bloated intellect labouring endless over law, they are already slum-dunk and crystal clear. They require decisive daring and a finisher's grit, like Alexander at the Gordian knots. That of course is outside the competence of the Kenyan judiciary. NB: It is an African story, say a Chineke the bird story. It claims the successive deaths of Mashoud Abiola and Sunny Abatcha in Nigeria were merciful acts of heaven! And then the bird laughs. When Kenyans say William Ruto and Evans Kidero can pass integrity tests, as CJ Maraga will obviously rule, I can cofidently say the heavens have a plan! The word and concept integrity will continue to have a meaning to humanity, regardless of Kenyan attempts to pervert it meanings!

THE GHOST OF THE INTEGRITY CHAPTER DEFIES EXORCIST RITUALS, BOUNCES BACKNot that new CJ Maraga ever heard of that chapter before he was forced to! He likes to keep his head the legendary ostrich way, confusing dormance for caution. So too is he playing ostrich games on the Akasha extradition. That is the drug guy who, with accomplices, was kidnapped and shipped while their case was (do they say) sub judice --under ongoing court attention? I remember the lines of an old song. There is something weird, in the neighbourhood, Who you gonna call? (The choral response thunders): GHOST BUSTERS!Let me remind first of a very uncomfortable thread on Jukwaa from long ago. jukwaa.proboards.com/thread/7272/raila-kalonzo-mudavadi-enjoined-caseJukwaa then, a very active place with many incisive posters, reported one of its weakest moments on a salient issue. On August 14 2012, respondent Jeff posted What came to pass --O Warsame! O Lenaola! O Philomena Mwilu! that here we are again in mid April 2017, reading Ah yes, CJ Willy Mutunga and his Bandia 'curia' of ' Borgian Eminences' recussed themselves from meaningfulness, so much so that they ushered in a period of darkness and confusion, ie, utter moral regression at the judiciary. In fact they didn't even dare call the GHOST BUSTERS! As such the bomb remained undefused, ticking away under the silence of the courts. (NB: Mutunga, scared witless of being forced to call a spade a spade, lest Francis Kimemia lock him up on worse joints than a luxurious Airport washroom, could have constituted a panel of emeritus commonwealth scholars and retiring Judges of repute, delegated them to read the Kenyan constitution, with special attention to the relevant integrity chapters, and, also, delegated them to conduct interrogations of the authors of the famous constitution (so as) to unearth their intended content of integrity Then Wily would hide behind their ghosh-bursting, or bomb-diffusion! NB: NOWROJEE gave them corrupt some straws to clutch at may be. jukwaa.proboards.com/thread/7532/nowrojee-chapter-doesn-ruto-uhuru Man Gado has of course had a field day depicting what the ruling class are doing to the chapter six clause in private. Gado has been so articulate that he actually closed the case. I have not seen any Kenyan legal writer match the rigour and in-depth of the Gado cartoons. They are ruthlessly clinical; I attended a few public lectures of lawyers around East Africa on transparency conferences, just to for control, but I maintained the conclusion Gado was lonely at the top. No cobwebs in the mind, no impurities in his vision. Once i establish Kenyan culture is that clear in its observations, life becomes easy, and one can joke eternally. What would Wily Mutunga say, to justify the delay in this case? The best he can say is --deny, he didn't take any money to kill it! The intellectual failure at the judiciary is of course self-evident. So here we were again, at the funeral of David Mwiraria, the former minister of finance who resigned over some malfeasance, just like the 'come back kid' Amos Kimunya, or Itea Iringo! Apparently David was a paragon of all that which we should positively aspire to, and be. His official eulogy proclaimed so. Funerals can be a good place to launder reputations. Nothing but the good about the dead to be said. Not me! I do damnatio memorae where facts say so! Try as we might to make saints out of outright criminals with an elaborate scheme of historical falsification, I would rather give such rotten corpses the kind of treatment meted to Oliver Cromwell's expired remains! So here we are now, past half a decade after the heroic promulgation of the new constitution, yet integrity is still undefined! --who you gonna call to be your Nestor!? Eargerly do we await the speedy seal of Justice in Chief Maraga's office to officially close the matter. Howbeit Kenyan culture at large is just starting to grin, and give a hint at that knowing wink! ---Aint there a PERMANENT INJUNCTION ON defining an operative interpretation of integrity conform chapter six!? And aint Maraga subscribed to it? There is something weird about our politicians, who we gonna call to unmask them all!? Not coup makers I hope! These are not the sixties! (General Abdel Sisi of Egypt and those Outtara-molesting Ivory coast drunks are exceptions of course! Though the Nigerian army is sending feelers to force the paralysed civilians to make up their mind on what to do with the new Umaru Yar'Adua, aka Buhari. --There have been coup rumours in Abuja!) What can Maraga do!? 1. Solomon 2. Pontius Pilatus. One side of the coin are lootocrats or state bandits, the other are posho-pushers or pharmacists. Maraga can't tell them they are all integrity barred from public office, can he? I remember the coyness of Teiresias the Seer of Thebes when called upon by the King to speak the truth. What is the cause of all the pestilence, strife and bad luck in Thebes? Blind Teiresias knows, but wants to keep his head, which telling the King the truth would loose. The King is a patricidal, incestuous depraved creature. His name is Oedipus, the truest madhafaka if ever there was one! I will understand if Maraga mentally implodes! AG Githu Muigai is the a professor at law and the highest paid civil servant, but aint he more coy than Teiresias! NB: (Teiresias first extorted an oath of Zeus on the dreaded Styx as life insurance before he told King Oedipus the truth: 'You are a literal madhafaka and a daddy-killer! That is what is cursing Thebes! Atone!'

SOLOMON MARAGA OR PONTIUS PILATE MARAGA?INTRODUCTION: On the integrity issue and public office in Kenya, I accused former CJ Mutunga of a great direliction of duty, outright sabotage of the the second liberation, thus I found him worth --as Ngatia would say--- hanging with a guitar wire. Now, it is CJ Maraga's turn to have his mind take french leave from station work, assignment think-outs. here is the taste. A binding interpretation of the definition of integrity as per the new constitution proved beyond the faculties of Mutunga. We have gone through lots of it on Jukwaa. I will just find the relevant threads. Ndung'u report alone would bar William Ruto and Raila I think. AngloLeasing/Goldenberg would bar Mudavadi. Turkana Oil Blocks and Tokyo embassy would bar Weta. Just to give you an idea why Mutunga's mind cracked and gave up, and why Maraga too, is a safe bet to mentally faint on this chapter six thingy! Ouru Kenyatta? treasury/computer errors of yonder when he was finance minister disqualifies him from ever setting foot near Wanjiku's purse! And all that before a DEEP THOUGHT on all the possible ramnifications of defining integrity seriously! (as learned friends would be ordinarily of expected competence to!) JUKWAA ON MUTUNGA ON CHAPTER SIX jukwaa.proboards.com/thread/6891/comes-cj-on-integrity-chapter OTISHOTISH ON MUTUNGA AS A JOKER jukwaa.proboards.com/thread/7367/hon-mutunga-cj-funny-man?page=4
