No country has overcome major structural, architectural and institutional challenges without a revolution.
Four leading economic, industrial and military powers of the world—USA, Russia, China and France—all emerged from revolutionary earthquakes.
Each of these countries were transformed through revolutionary earthquakes:
America in 1765 to 1789.
France in 1789.
Russia in 1917.
China in 1949.
Yet you sit there, in a structurally, architecturally and institutionally DEFECTIVE country, with your mouth open, yelling that “revolutions are too bloody.”
No child is born and nourished without blood.
And not all revolutions are or must be bloody. But absolutely no society/country will overcome structural defects without a revolution (the complete overhaul and transformation).
#RevolutionNow
The Belgians murdered Patrice Lumumba and dissolved his body in acid. And today, a stupid referee helped them steal from Senegal.
I’ve said it. Now, the European slaves can cry!
@Kazingumu As usual, a looter steals Kes 5,000,000,000,000 of your money, then spends Kes 100,000,000 for schools and you will praise him to the high heavens.
Memorable quotes from the sharp-penned Ugandan journalist, commentator, and photographer Timothy Kalyegira .@TimKalyegira who went missing for four days before he was charged on Monday, June 29:
-"In this day and age, ruling people for 40 years is a mark of shame, not genius."
-Ultimately we all die poor. Nobody takes their six-bedroom house to the grave."
-On Uganda's economy: "Primitive accumulation of primitive wealth, by primitive people, for primitive reasons."
-"The only profitable economic activity left is praising the First Family, praising government projects, praising Big Men, [or] running for MP."
-"The people with money don't have brains and the people with brains don't have money."
@KibwanaAli8852@BadshahZack You should never tell anyone fighting for his fundamental human rights to lie low like an envelope. I understand because I fought FEARLESSLY without regard to your cowardly statements…
If the Bangladeshi youth had suspended protests, feared police brutality and waited for general elections, Bangladesh would still be under the tyrannical rule of Sheikh Hasina!
@wa_masimba The USA does not champion for human rights and dignity. The USA stands for and represents repression, genocide and institutional fascism in the world! A racist imperialist rogue state!
@SuleimanEkaka First hand knowledge is more important than silly comments. Make libraries your friends. The history of Gachagua et al have been well documented over the years by those who were present.
Because human DIGNITY is more precious than a full stomach in slavery, Kenyans must protest, march and demonstrate against injustices, impunity and profligacy.

Comrade Maurice Bishop exposed the imperialist hypocrisy. They murdered him through a firing squad because they couldn’t debate him on any issue. They couldn’t match his intellect, revolutionary commitment and the clarity of his thought.
Iranians are classy/respectful people...look the note their footballers left in the locker room in the SoFi Stadium in LA where they played. President Trump should invite the team to the White House for a cup of Chai...
About one third of Americans say they read fewer books today than they did 10 years ago.
Half say it’s because they don’t have enough free time.
The other half say there are simply too many distractions competing for their attention.
More than a third also report that their attention spans have gotten worse over the past decade.
Meanwhile, the average person spends 10–20 hours per week watching short-form videos.
Let’s use the midpoint: 15 hours per week.
15 hours × 52 weeks = 780 hours per year
The average book takes about 6–10 hours to read.
Let’s use 8 hours.
780 ÷ 8 = 97.5 books
That’s roughly 100 books per year.
Now imagine someone went on a 5 yr short-form video fast and replaced that time with reading 500 books on:
Money
Business
Leadership
Human Nature
Great biographies
What do you think would happen to that person?
The way they think would change.
The way they see opportunities would change.
The way they understand people would change.
There are no guarantees in life, but the odds of success would certainly move in their favor.
That’s essentially what I did from age 21 to 35 after leaving the military.
And this doesn’t just apply to Gen Z, it applies to every generation.
Whether you’re 16 or 60, you can make this adjustment.
The future looks bright for those who remain curious, committed to learning, and willing to invest in themselves.
I think President Trump is RIGHT. Isreal can't demolish entire neighbourhoods and kill thousands of innocent civilians in the name of killing Hizbullah members...proportionality is IMPORTANT.
