When people first become Christians, they are often surprised by the experience of genuine joy. Most are not aware that the secret to joy is that it can only found in a relationship with Christ.

All other happinesses in the world are shadows of the substance, which is Christ.

[Grant R. Castleberry @grcastleberry]

You never know how much time you have. God has appointed all your seasons.

Live for His honor and your eternal joy while you still have breath in your lungs. Right now counts forever.

How to protect yourself from the LRAD as a protestor in Kenya:

Long Range Acoustic Devices (pictured below) produce high-frequency sound waves that can cause you permanent hearing loss. The waves travel like light in a straight line, but for the Kenyan version, there are 4 cones to send the sonic wave in all directions.

And since maandamano will end when CoK 2010 ends, the first defense is blocking that line of sight to the machine with thick and heavy materials.

1. DIY Hard Sound Deflector: use wooden doors or thick plywood found in loose building materials, construction site scraps. Hold a thick piece of wood in front of your head to reflect the sound waves away.

2. Use metal cooking pots, sufurias or large metal trays directly over your ears and face. Thick metal acts as a hard barrier as sound waves struggle to pass through. Direct the aluminium side to the waves. It seems Kioni and his sufuria revolution was onto something.

3. Use heavy plastic bins, buckets to create a makeshift shield. They are easily available in the streets.

4. Pack thick books or directories in your backpack. Hold the backpack flat against your head and ears like a helmet.

5. Improvise ear Plugs and muffs using wet cloth or fabric. Tear strips of denim, heavy canvas, or thick cotton from clothing or bags. Wet the fabric with water, roll it into tight, dense cones, and push them firmly into your ear canals. Wetting the fabric packs the fibers closer together, making it much harder for sound to pass through.

6. Use firm rubber, plastic caps, bottle caps or rubber stoppers from juice or soda bottles. Wrap them in a layer of cloth and press them tightly into your ear openings.

7. If you have nothing else, press the palms of your hands completely flat and hard against your ears. Cupping your hands creates an air pocket that can actually amplify the sound; you must press flat and hard to seal the canal completely.

8. Combine with 7 above and turn away. Do not look directly at the LRAD. Turn your back completely to the sound source so your skull, back, and shoulders act as a first wall of tissue to block the sound from hitting your ear canals directly.

9. Get behind others with shields. If someone near you has managed to construct a larger wooden or plastic shield, press tightly behind them. Create a straight human line directly behind the barrier to stay out of the acoustic line.

Contrary to popular belief, dont use noise cancelling headphones. The sonic wave can intefere and create dangerous static right i side your ears, defeating the purpose of protecting yourself.

your phone number is personal and sometimes you want to connect without handing it over. that's why we're introducing usernames for WhatsApp.

starting this week, you can reserve a username to use later this year when we launch the feature. It takes just a few seconds, make sure you have the latest version of WhatsApp and then go to Settings > Account > Username.

NDINDI IS ONE OF THE REASONS MPs SHOULDN’T HAVE CDF
Ndindi Nyoro's failure to be present in parliament during the Finance Bill vote is inexcusable. Whichever way you look at it, it was a catastrophic political blunder.

I told you that all those politicians masquerading as opposition are what we call POTEMKIN or ASTROTURF OPPOSITION.

But you insulted me.

Do you now see the game clearly?

They aimed to discredit genuine clamour for economic transformation, scatter powerful voices and legitimize Government's economic agenda.

This is their mechanism of existence:

INFILTRATION

Movements and social media platforms were quietly infiltrated by individuals loyal to the establishment. These individuals mismanaged the platforms to discredit social media voices in the eyes of the public.

"You have been paid."

"You are tutam."

"How much have they paid you to post this?"

These infiltrators also steered the platforms away from achieving the core goals by creating unnecessary slogans.

"Wantam"

"Tutam"

Example: X users, X posts, X spaces.

CO-OPTATION AND COMPROMISE

Leaders of a genuine grassroots movement are persuaded, bribed, or pressured into watering down their demands.

They are given lucrative platform access and media coverage but are kept on a tight leash, transforming radical critics into moderate voices that the establishment can comfortably manage.

Example: ODM and BREAD-BASED ESTABLISHMENT

STATE-MANUFACTURED OPPOSITION

The state actively creates, funds, and legitimates smaller political parties. These groups appear to challenge the government on minor, superficial issues, but they never truly threaten the ruling regime's control over the state.

"Please don't protest. We shall defeat him on election day. He has no numbers."

Sheep: "Yeees!"

Example DCP and LINDA MWANANCHI

The state played its cards strategically and outmanoeuvred all of us.

Now, we are back to:

"You are a Kikuyu."

"You are a Kalenjin."

"You are a Luo."

Don't under-estimate the STATE.

Anyway, one day, GRASS WILL GROW.

It’s impossible to set up a high quality clinic in Kenya for a complex & lethal disease like Ebola. Ebola patients won’t get good care, risking citizens’ lives. Staff won’t have the training to protect themselves and their patients. It’s unprecedented, reckless & unethical

[Cyprian, Is Nyakundi @C_NyaKundiH]

Those attacking Arsenal fans for turning up in huge numbers in Nairobi but not showing up for protests are missing the bigger point.

People do not fail to protest because they love suffering. They fail to protest because Kenyans are not angry enough, not desperate enough and not organized enough to sustain serious resistance. That is the uncomfortable truth.

A football victory march is easy because it is joy, identity, banter, music and vibes. A protest is risk, police, tear gas, arrest, job loss, injury and sometimes death. You cannot compare the two as if people are choosing Arsenal over liberation. People are choosing comfort over sacrifice because the pain has not yet crossed the point where staying home feels more dangerous than going to the streets.

That is why these 8am to 6pm CBD protests, almost arranged like someone is reporting to a job, will never shake a regime properly. People come, shout, run from police, take photos, trend for a few hours and go back home before darkness. The government simply waits them out.

A real people’s movement is not an office-hours activity. It is not something you squeeze between breakfast and supper. It is built when the anger is deep, widespread, fearless and impossible to manage with police trucks and press statements.

So stop blaming Arsenal fans. They have only exposed what we already know. Kenyans can gather when they want to. The problem is that, politically, the country is still not angry enough.
