Once again I repeat. It is not your business to defend the government, your primary allegiance is to the nation not the government of the day. Where they are wrong, call them out!
@Jasiri_WVR@IanECox Shooting and killing civilians must be something Ian has no issue with considering his views on the Gaza genocide or US baby killers in Iran ….lets kill some civilians now in Russia
I'm finalising on an earthshaking report that will expose government officers, majorly heads of procurement in parastatals and ministries who are favouring their own companies under proxies to scoop multimillion government tenders.
These well-known individuals are discriminating against and mistreating legit businessmen by locking them out of public government tenders despite being qualified.
I will be calling out these culprits one by one who have our ministries in a chokehold.
Cabin crew told me that there are always more wheelchairs on flights going to and from India and others carrying large amounts of Indians (think Toronto to London to take a connecting flight from London to India) than other flights.
It’s because Indians like the extra service and attention it gives them. It’s a product of Indian culture and the caste system. Indian flights are notoriously challenging for Western cabin crew (or indeed any non-Indian crew) because the customers are so demanding and, frankly, treat the staff terribly.
Other flights to completely unrelated destinations are routinely delayed due to Indians occupying all of the wheelchairs at airports. If there is no wheelchair available for a genuinely disabled person when their flight arrives, it delays the unloading of that flight and makes that plane’s next journey delayed as well.
Basically, Indian culture is causing severe delays around the world. As India becomes wealthier and more Indians can afford to travel, this problem is only going to get worse unless airports start refusing to let non-disabled people use wheelchairs.
@IanECox How many civilian deaths have we seen in Ukraine since the war started? How does this compare to any hot war fought since 2000? Are you sure Ukraine will be able to take Russia deliberately hitting civilians all over?
Iran used to be the undisputed global leader in pistachio production, producing the very best pistachios in the world. The US bourgeoisie wanted a piece of the pie, especially the Resnicks, a spectacularly evil family even by US standards. One more reason Iran had to go.
After decades upon decades of the most brutal, almost genocidal sanctions and overwhelming tariffs, they finally did it. Iran's share of global pistachio production dropped to 15-20%, while that of the US catapulted to more than 60-70%, despite its products being of poorer quality.
While the US regime artificially installed itself as the world's largest producer of Pistachio, they couldn't dislodge Iran completely. As with all capitalists, they wanted more.
So in the 2026 US invasion of Iran, some of the first targets the empire bombed were Iran's pistachio farms, production facilities, and warehouses. They could always claim that they were "dual use" (or had a Hamas bunker underneath). And with trade routes disrupted, guess who benefits the most. Iran will find a way to recoup its losses, but the Resnicks are laughing all the way to their pistachio farms - and their bank.
This is why wars are fought - whether economic or military. They're not fought for pretty faces that "launched a thousand ships", or to avenge the violation of "xenia", or to capture and defend the "holy land from the infidels", or to defeat the menace of "Judeo-Bolshevism", or to spread "democracy", or to fight "terrorism".
All wars are MATERIAL wars. All wars for fought for resources, whether financialized or tangible.
Now of course you cannot say this openly. You cannot state the real reason you want men to die for you. So you invent one that resonates with them. You create a Grand Lie to convince millions of men to leave their families and children, and sacrifice their entire lives for the "cause".
You invent elaborate cover stories. You use your complete control over the means of communication, and the recording of the past. You weaponize history. You exploit culture. You make peaceful men WANT to kill and be killed - just because you said so.
You tell them that their God Zeus has been insulted, or that defending the Holy Land from the Moslems will grant you salvation, or that the Asiatic Jewish Bolshevik hordes must be destroyed in order to save Germany, or that the Iraqis yearn for freedom from their dictator, or that the Palestinians and Lebanese and Iranians must be killed or the Jewish people will suffer from another Shoah.
All warfare is deception. The biggest trick the devil ever pulled is to conceal the truth.
Turkey sat there for 2 years feeding the Israeli genocide on Palestinians with gas and food…and now they wanna act all “Islamic”….please just stfu.
Turkey won’t fire a bullet at Israel. They supported the Zionist project in Syria by funding ISIS for 15 years.
Ruto wants to prosecute and jail medics for failing to provide care!
The same medics who have been telling us they don't have enough gloves in public hospitals!
This country 🤡
@IanECox Kool Aid, Putinism, Russian Empire... All buzzwords aside, a simple concept of war is that of retaliation. You want Russian civilians hit, be prepared for Ukrainian civilian mass casualties. Simple stuff really.
Siku moja tutakaa tujiulize what is the point of loosing lives along the border when the families (and even the troops themselves) of those at the front are more at risk nyumbani.
Post 2024 demos, during the Subaru kidnappings, iko watu walicatch sana when I said that the state, as currently postured, is more of a threat to Kenyans than Al Shabab. Today, the admin of the day kills more innocent civilians in a week than Al Shabab ever did.
@Jasiri_Sierra I keep telling people who are obsessed with land in Malindi and Kilifi that they are just creating another Mpeketoni and they never listen. There's nothing like cheap land in an area with historical land injustices. Most of rhese sellers are companies in Ruiru.
Not a Kenol Blogger but I want you for a moment to put Dad bias aside and reason.
1. Initial cost was 35B. It jumped by 10B. A Billion is not a million.
2. Total cost to the taxpayer will be between 144B-148B over 15 years translating to a repayment of 800,000,000 per year.
The stadium is an important part of our AFCON hosting. But the corruption involved is what is the issue. And that's the part you and most supporters of this government don't see.
For context:
If the government cared about the people, tbh there is a lot that extra 10B can do for the nation in terms of Education, Health care, access to clean drinking water etc.
What Sifuna has said about Homabay and the violence he got there is so inspiring 😭😭😭😭😭😭
It's exactly what we want from a president!
They beat him because of fear of what the truth is, that Homabay is NOT Tutam
Here in Western Kenya everyone: children; teenagers; youths; adults and senior citizens want President Edwin Sifuna. Dr Bonny Khalwale’s little girl insisted to be taken to speak to the President. The three unwise old men will never speak about Luhya unity again.
