The Kikuyu reached a point they hated anybody who talked about corruption. They boycotted reading DN for David Ndiis column that chronicled Jubilee plunder. Seventh thread on Railaphobia – LONG THREAD, YOU CAN DISCARD

 If Raila was that bad for giving Uhuru competition, you would imagine that hatred would be over once he decided to support Uhuru. This was the first contradiction. A common accusation again was that he is very selfish; he must be up to something
The Kikuyu accuse Raila of killing democracy in Luoland, yet they hated SK Macharia for supporting Raila in 2013. They even boycotted advertising with Inooro and citizen radio. They hated Tabitha of Keroche and boycotted summit beer – Saying Raila was shareholder
They would say how Luos are slaves of Raila but reserve the severest insults for Kikuyus who don’t support Uhuru. They were happy when Raila was barred from patronizing a Karatina hotel and when NASA was barred from holding a rally in Thika.
The same things done to them by Moi government, they never cared about happening to other people. They never even wanted to hear about corruption. Some Kikuyus openly confessed boycotting Nation newspaper because of David Ndii’s column – it talked too much about corruption.
Sentiment went around that Ndii is so negative and unpatriotic. This reverberated even within official circles and finally found its way to NMG offices. The pressure was mounted and the column was finally expunged. Exactly how Moi killed “Beyond” and “Financial Review” magazines
After so much pretense, the Kikuyu finally admitted that “Uhuru witu” did not live to expectations. Their love turned to hate and openly call him a failure. But why are they supporting Ruto? Because he assisted them to elect Uhuru. They are happy with the contradiction
When Uhuru alluded to possibility of supporting a non-Kikuyu and Kalenjin for next President, the chorus of “tribes don’t lead” sprang from Kikuyu circles. But they say this while saying they collectively owe Ruto because “they” promised him. They are OK with the contradiction
In the same way Railaphobia is not supported by any rationality, Kikuyu political stand as a tribe is a case study in contradictions. There are of course many Kikuyu people who stood for truth and democracy, but it doesn’t invalidate this collective condemnation
So what do we have in Kenya after KUMIRA KUMIRA – We killed chapter 6 of the new constitution to accommodate Uhuru. In the process, we let “all the dogs out”. Integrity means nothing in our country. A criminal record is, in fact, an asset in Kenyan politics.
Institutions set free by the new constitution were clawed to allow Uhuru and Ruto to abuse state apparatus to fight ICC. This ended up bottling the problem of impunity. Those who are politically correct are exempted from the justice system, just as it happened under Moi.
IEBC was to guarantee was to ensure no electoral violence again. With chapter 6 out, political corruption gnawed at IEBC turning it into a sanctuary of crime. In 2107, IEBC used fake ballots and even had the courage to present them in court and defy Supreme Court order on servers
One year to elections and IEBC has no commissioners. The country is heavily crippled by debts. Medics are on strike and no leader is available to solve the crisis. We are still one the most corrupt countries – just where Moi left us. A small crisis can TEAR KENYA APART
Who has brought us this backward after so much struggle to liberate our country and restore democracy? WE ARE IN THIS SHIT BECAUSE OF KIKUYU SELFISHNESS AND POLITICAL INTRANSIGENCE. It will take another round of struggle to liberate Kenya from the firm grip of cartels
And when Kikuyus finally admit it was a mistake, what is their solution to the crisis? – I am ashamed of saying it. Next thread

Who are our Philosopher Kings in the making? They are there; we just need to be positive about them. Part 8

Fellow Kenyans, UNTIL WE REFORM POLITICS AND GIVE IT BACK TO PHILOSOPHER KINGS, NOTHING WILL CHANGE. But, we must stop this nonsense that there is no alternative leadership. This is just an excuse to stick to politicians who have polluted our collective psyche

Kivutha Kibwana @governorkibwana . Law scholar par excellence. UON no less where he served as Associate Professor, Dean of the Faculty of Law, senior lecturer and chairman of Department of private law. Philosopher as they come. Make such a person King and he'd uplift our politics

He was an advisor to Kibaki. And see what he has done in his county. Demonstrated that service is more fulfilling than the mindless accumulation of wealth. He is addressing health, agriculture, and rural poverty in an approach almost unbeatable by any governor

When he offers for leadership to replicate what he has done at Makueni, we scorn at him that he has no political base. He has no political muscle. Why do we want politicians who turned our country into a den of brawny politicking day in day out? WACHENI UJINGA

We cannot invest so heavily to educate children. Then we vote in miscreants to be leaders and role models to the same children. Its foolish. Part 4

Kibaki was a philosopher who became a King. He was not a PRIMARY POLITICIAN who won power. He was a scholar who became a politician, ascended through the ranks, and finally rose to be President. This is the course that should give us great leadership

Back to my question: Why wouldn’t @DavidNdii offer himself to be our President. Look at the many parallels he shares with Kibaki. They are both herdboys in their background. Peasant upbringing and local education in local schools from where they excelled.

They both studied or specialized in economics, Ndii in UON and Kibaki in Makerere. They both advanced in economics in prestigious UK universities; Kibaki in London School of Economic and Ndii in Cambridge (I guess)

They both came back to teach at universities, Kibaki in Makerere and Ndii at UON. They were both recruited to serve in government and develop national policies. Kibaki became the first CEO of Kanu and later key team in the sessional paper on African Socialism

We change politics by making conditions of politics different, while also choosing PHILOSOPHER KINGS. Part 7

What we need to do it is revise the course. Allow philosophers to become kings. I am an ecologist. There is something I can call TERRITORIAL ADVANTAGE. I use a simple illustration

A crocodile cannot chase an impala on land. Impala has the territorial advantage; it will outrun the crocodile. On water, the crocodile has the territorial advantage; the impala cannot out-swim it. Hence, a crocodile’s first line of attack is always to pull the impala into water

When we killed politics of debate. We allowed insults and violence to flourish in our politics; we gave rascals the territorial advantage. They have thrived and dominated our politics and national life. They grab headlines and seat at the guest podiums in churches and funerals

To attract good leaders, we must tilt territorial advantage to the good leaders. So that our politics becomes more about competition for ideas and policies. We debate more and fight less. We invest more and steal less bcos we don’t need to buy supporters

One way to fan Railaphobia was to ascribe to him mystic powers. He took Uhuru and Ruto to Hague; he incites teachers to strike etc. Sixth thread – LONG THREAD, YOU CAN DISCARD

Having suffered so much under Moi who used state power to sabotage the whole economy and foster impunity, you would have expected the Kikuyu to all be on the frontline championing democracy and rule of law. So that nobody suffers again state victimization

In the last thread we have seen how Kikuyus ganged up against ICC to ensure Uhuru went scot-free – “Uhuru ni witu,” was the clarion call that we exported to The Hague

Just then Kikuyu now became the biggest enemy of democracy. Human rights activists filed a case in court to have Uhuru and Ruto barred from vying for public office as per chapter 6 of the new constitution. The Kikuyu were openly hostile to the court system. Ni matutigithie...

Having worked so hard to have a new constitution to ensure things that happened to the Kikuyu under Moi never happen again, Kikuyu became the biggest haters to the new constitution. That is was the first backward step for the country – courtesy of the Kikuyu

By intimidating ICC, we killed our new constitution and lost an important historical chance. Fifth thread on Railaphobia in Kikuyuland - LONG THREAD

Kenyans are very thankless. We don’t honour heroes and those who sacrifice for the common good. That’s why charlatans, thieves, and murderers flourish in our politics. In this thread I focus on Kikuyu betrayal that has landed us into the current crisis

A Kikuyu succeeded Moi through a twist of fate, but their leaders were completely outwitted by Moi. It was very selfish to turn around and spread malicious hate against Raila once Kibaki became the President. Without Odinga family, Moi wouldn’t have gone anywhere.

Kikuyus profile of betrayal is painful. Having suffered so much humiliation and victimization under Moi they were all helpless. Moi had control of the police and judiciary and had given immunity to those who offended Kikuyus in any way, including killing them.

Kikuyu houses in Rift Valley would be burnt at will and no legal recourse. A close Moi aide in Maasai land, William OleNtimama openly threatened and insulted Kikuyu people even in Moi presence. “Lie low like an antelope” he would reprimand Kikuyus in Narok

8 rules the top play by that those at the bottom should adopt.

— Thread
(requested by followers)

1. Leverage

Most poor people don't leverage. Trying to get everything done yourself will limit you to only how much you can do.

Get more hands working for you, and find a way to pay or show them what's in it for them.

2. Trust

When doing business, poor people would require collateral from strangers, but excuse those close to them because they *trust* them.

That's how you get scammed.

The unspoken rule is to know your safety net whenever you're not taking collateral.

Never need to trust.

3. Morality

Never seen a very successful businessman say "This is not a good thing, it's evil."

It's either good for business or bad for business. Its either effective or ineffective.

Morality will only limit you.

4. Reciprocity

Expecting someone to help you because you helped them in the past is ludicrous.

If you're no longer useful to them, people have no reason to help you.

"Whenever you see water flowing upstream it means someone it repaying a kindness."

A short thread on one aspect of trolling on here, from my recent experience. I’ve got a fair number of followers. I tweet about controversial topics - and yet I don’t get trolled that much. A bit, but not thatmuch. There are times, though, that I *do* get trolled a lot. 1/n

The pattern is pretty clear, and has been played out a few times over the last few days. I get into a conversation about a topic that could be considered race-related. Empire. Immigration. Something like that. And that conversation includes a highish profile BAME person. 2/n

More often than not, a BAME woman. In those cases, it takes very little time for the trolls to come steaming in. Most of them seemingly rational, taking issue with some technical point, but quickly descending into something much worse. 3/n

When I look at the profiles of the trolls, they’re often relatively innocuous. Not saying ‘Hey, I’m a racist troll, a white supremacist’ at all. Not likely to be caught by any kind of anti-troll measures. Instead, they look relatively normal. 4/n

But what happens is very much about racism, and often misogyny. Attacks that are - or appear to be - not that dramatic on their own. Not rape threats or death threats, or ‘go home’ or things like that, but designed to undermine, to disturb, to annoy - but with an undercurrent 5/n

The chorus of this song uses the shlokas taken from Sundarkand of Ramayana.

It is a series of Sanskrit shlokas recited by Jambavant to Hanuman to remind Him of his true potential.

1. धीवर प्रसार शौर्य भरा: The brave persevering one, your bravery is taking you forward.


2. उतसारा स्थिरा घम्भीरा: The one who is leaping higher and higher, who is firm and stable and seriously determined.

3. ुग्रामा असामा शौर्या भावा: He is strong, and without an equal in the ability/mentality to fight

4. रौद्रमा नवा भीतिर्मा: His anger will cause new fears in his foes.

5.विजिटरीपुरु धीरधारा, कलोथरा शिखरा कठोरा: This is a complex expression seen only in Indic language poetry. The poet is stating that Shivudu is experiencing the intensity of climbing a tough peak, and likening

it to the feeling in a hard battle, when you see your enemy defeated, and blood flowing like a rivulet. This is classical Veera rasa.

6.कुलकु थारथिलीथा गम्भीरा, जाया विराट वीरा: His rough body itself is like a sharp weapon (because he is determined to win). Hail this complete

hero of the world.

7.विलयगागनथाला भिकारा, गरज्जद्धरा गारा: The hero is destructive in the air/sky as well (because he can leap at an enemy from a great height). He can defeat the enemy (simply) with his fearsome roar of war.

1. #Qanon told us that Saudi Arabia is a central piece of the puzzle in taking out the Deep State...we are watching the Deep State attempt to remove Crown Prince MBS and disrupt Pres Trump's administration's ties with MBS and the "new" Saudi/US coalition. Early in his admin,


2....@Potus sent Jared Kushner (JK) to SA on an undisclosed trip and told King Salman that business as usual was over, and if he wanted Pres Trump's support, Prince Alwaleed would have to be divested of $ and power; Alwaleed is one of top Deep State $ men and was tied to HRC.


3. @Potus knew that before he could begin cleansing the US and the rest of the world of the DS, he would have to cut one of the financial head's off the snake (Alwaleed). After JK met w/ King Salman, Alwaleed was arrested and divested of billions; MBS became leader of SA.


4. SA loves Pres Trump because he's a man of his word; SA could not trust Hussein or Clintons because they use SA for oil and leverage; SA has many factions, but essentially you have the new and upcoming SA that is attempting to modernize through Crown Prince MBS, and then you


5...have the old guard represented by Alwaleed who was one of the Deep State financial heads and loyal to the DS more than SA; SA knew Hussein was financing Iran to hold western world hostage, and SA was caught in middle of Deep State black mail; this is why @Potus was celebrated
