🚨⚠️📢FOUND: SHOCKING VIDEO INTERVIEW ABOUT WILLIAM RUTO‼️Why is nobody talking about this⁉️Why are people not bringing this up⁉️This is such a damning "origin story"‼️For sure, William Ruto must not be on the 2027 ballot‼️Transcript below: Gachoka: Now, moving away from that. I also then want to say, as he retired, he left Rift Valley, without a leader to take his position. Over the years, there has been several attempts to take over the mantle. The late Nicolas Biwott. For example, your friend Senator Gideon Moi and now the DP, William Ruto. Let's now maybe agree that Ruto is the kingpin in the Rift Valley. How would you contrast the two? Jirongo: Yes. William Ruto could be the kingpin in Rift Valley today, but I think, it is a misplaced choice in my, blunt view. That, if I had to look at Gideon Moi, and look at William Ruto, they are far apart. Maybe William has learned to socialize, but he doesn't socialize genuinely. And, it is taking Gideon time to actually socialize. But the two are miles apart, one is a human being and another one is something else. Gachoka: Let's then, first of all, look at this man, William Ruto. Cyrus, people who are younger may not know of YK92 or your role when President Moi was fighting for political life, is that you are mobilizing the youth of Kenya and so forth, and you then got together with Ruto. Could you give us a synopsis of YK92 and how you met Ruto? Jirongo: YK92 was a lobby group, just eh young men coming together who were able and, they went flat out to try and mobilize the country for retired President Moi. Gachoka: What period was this Cyrus? Jirongo: This was 91. And, ending up in 92 and up to 93. The earlier parts of 93 after elections. And the purpose was that at one time there was serious agitation of multipartyism in the Republic. And, the agitation had gone on for quite some time. Repeal of section 2A so that multipartyism could be accepted in the Republic of Kenya. And it was not easy, particularly for the people. There were so many things going on, it was difficult from the Moi [era]. And we, we came in to try to, to, to to work with him. Gachoka: And let me then say, at that time, of 91 and so on. You were the chairman of YK92, what role was William Ruto in YK92? Because I'm trying to find out how your relationship began. Jirongo: William Ruto was never part of, Youth for KANU 92. William, William Ruto was one of the young men who spent their time at KICC, at the youth and the women's office with Doctor Julia Ojiambo. I actually came to know William Ruto, properly, after elections in 1993. We worked closely with Julia Ojiambo. And that is how, I ended up knowing Ruto. And specifically when he came in to try and get some orders to supply t-shirts and all those sorts of things. Gachoka: I see. So, in terms of the joining KANU as a party and becoming an operative, you were very close to President Moi. Obviously Ruto began his political life then, how did he enter into the Moi orbit? And, what do you remember... Jirongo: The truth be said, William Ruto. Then after the 1992, campaign where we lobbied, for votes for Moi, he then looked for friendship with me through Fred Amayo, and they pushed very hard. I was a bit hesitant, but, because of something that had happened and, I talked to Amayo, I told Fred Amayo, this young man, you brought him into my office and asked me to give him a contract to supply 10,000 T-shirts. You remember, he did not supply the 10,000. Instead, he brought a thousand T-shirts and repeatedly, delivered the same, t-shirts ten times. So we ended up paying, or I ended up paying him 1.2 million shillings because a t-shirt then was about, 120 shillings for the delivery of only a thousand shillings [t-shirts]. What he did was he tried and corrupted the young boys who were in the stores, and, he would deliver a thousand t-shirts. They give it back to him, he delivers again, and they give it back for him, ten times. And so I paid him, 1.2 million instead of, paying him for a thousand t-shirts, which would have been 120,000. And that is the reason why I resisted when Fred Amayo tried to push him, to become closer so that we work together after, disbanding YK92. Gachoka: Right. So the Kenyans can understand his journey after that. How did he then jump in to be an assistant minister in the Moi government? Jirongo: That is far much, much later we worked together then, Amayo succeeded Fred Amayo, and we worked together with William in the same office until 1997. And, some of the things I feared, when Amayo, was trying to push him closer, came to pass, including you agree with somebody, there is this work you need to do, He comes back and gives you the wrong quote. You give him money. The same money is discovered in his car in the evening. Those kind of things. Gachoka: You know Cyrus I bring this issue because, the deputy president, was quoted and, in, in a, in the function saying that the problem with you, you never, move from the past, ulikuwa mkubwa wake ama mdosi. Sasa wewe huwezi kukubali amekuwa mdosi. Jirongo: You see, Gachoka: I want Kenyans to understand that history. Jirongo: When you try to get to whatever position using whatever means, including fraud, deception, and which is a hallmark of a lot of politicians in this country. Unfortunately, I was not made like that. I do my things fairly, in a very straight way, I do not, take advantage of people. He does take advantage of people. He worked with President Moi, President Moi made him a deputy minister, and, he moved on. I introduced him to President Moi. After that, he got rid of Moi, Moi meant nothing. He became Raila’s friend. After that, Raila meant nothing. He stepped on Raila very roughly, tried to penetrate the Kibaki regime, finally ending up, through struggle because I know actually Uhuru resisted working with, with Ruto for quite a while through friends. Paul Ndungu tried to get him closer, Uhuru refused. It is, Wanjigi who finally managed to push Ruto through to Uhuru. But I think Uhuru also read that there is a bit of trouble here, because history could tell him that this is a man, if he has no respect for Jirongo. He has no respect for Moi. He has no respect, for Raila. And these are people who he has worked with in politics, and tried, these people have played a role in his political life. Who am I Uhuru Kenyatta, that this man is going to work with me and he respect me, and we will work together for the good of this country. Gachoka: So Jirongo, because this is Point Blank, Jirongo: Yes. Gachoka: Are you telling Kenyans, who are watching you today that Ruto and Uhuru are, it's not, it's not, it's not it's not working? Jirongo: They are not cut from the same leaf as I might say. They are totally two different people. You have somebody who is, deceptive and you have somebody who is genuine and straight. It's very difficult for the two of you to work together competently and efficiently. Gachoka: I have to ask you this because, from where you sit, there's confusing headlines every day. There's tanga tanga, kieleweke names that are all there out there in the media. But many times when the deputy president is speaking, he says nimetumwa na mdoss, he has sent me here with 5 million or a million, then tomorrow the headline they have fallen apart, they are not, you know Jirongo this country's in 2020, and I just would like you to tell Kenyans. Is it broken with Kenyatta and Ruto? Jirongo: I'm not seeing it working and I saw it not working from the word go. It can never work, because as I've told you, you are dealing with totally two different individuals. Gachoka: And then if that is the case, I wanted to say this, is it Kenyatta who betrayed Ruto? because at least where the news headlines are, is that Kenyatta na Ruto walikuwa pamoja na Kenyatta anadanganya Ruto, anampokonya, he is not keeping his word. Why do you think this has broken down? Jirongo: History can bear out, honorable Uhuru Kenyatta on this, one, William Ruto fell out with the retired president Moi, he fell out with Raila. He fell out with me. And, it is usual for him after he has used you and the thinks, you have no value anymore, the first time maybe, their first five years, Uhuru was useful. But for now, Uhuru is irrelevant as far as William is concerned, he wants to get to the next. And whoever he can use, that's why he's always in Central Province places. As a deputy president, if I'm going to my president’s turf, surely I need his blessings and tell him I'm going to your turf, What message do you give me? What I can tell you without, flinching an eye, most of those incursions Ruto has been making in, Central Province. There they stem from realizing, as far as he is concerned, that Uhuru is of no value to me anymore. Let me go. Let me see who I can groom, and, the people I’ll work with, to achieve my ends. And, of course, you expect Uhuru to be frustrated, other than the other issues that have, played out very loudly, including corruption. Gachoka: Well, Cyrus Jirongo says, retired President Daniel Arap Moi and the upcoming William Samoei arap Ruto are different people cut from different cloths. Jirongo contends that Ruto dumped him or used him, and he did the same to retired Prime Minister Raila Odinga. Is there more than meets the eye to William Ruto?

Yesterday, I got a call from a senior government official. No formalitiit just a location. A bar near State House Road. That’s where power talks when it can’t breathe behind boardroom curtains. We met. The beers came first, then the roast chicken. But beneath the smiles and the nostalgia of our days as political foot soldiers men who bled loyalty for William Ruto in the fire of 2022 was a deeper truth. A disturbing one. The man looked both excited and broken. You could see it in his eyes. He poured his drink like someone drowning from the inside. Then he said it: "The boss is unteachable." He didn’t mean that casually. He meant power has completely changed William Ruto. That man is no longer who we stood with. Arrogance has replaced strategy. Insulation has replaced listening. The ground is shaking, but up there, the castle is deaf. People in government are scared not of the opposition, but of their own reflection in the public eye. The lies are catching up. Then he dropped a bomb: "UDA is dead. Mark my words, people will jump this sinking ship when it's too late to rescue it." He said ODM, for all its baggage, is quietly rebranding. While UDA is busy cannibalizing itself with tribal politics, chaos, and infighting. Raila Odinga, he claims, is playing chess while Ruto's house is burning. 80% he wants Ruto out. 20% he's scouting a soft landing just in case possibly through Kalonzo. But the elephant in the room? Rigathi Gachagua. They fear him. Deeply. Even Raila’s circle isn’t comfortable with the idea of sharing the table with that man. The arrogance, the tribal rigidity, the raw ambition it’s a liability. Then came the blunt truth: “If Raila is to support Ruto in 2027, it will be 50:50 or nothing. And Ruto doesn’t care as long as he wins. Even if Raila gets 60% of the cake.” But here's the problem: the only realistic path to Ruto winning is through rigging. And they all know it. That’s the silent fear not defeat, but exposure. The kind of exposure that not even the deep state can clean. He dropped me at KICC. Quiet. No goodbyes. Just handed me an envelope marked “Confidential”. It had an amount too bold to be a gift and too polite to be a bribe. Call it appreciation or hush money. I won’t reveal the rest. Not now. For my own safety. Time to shave my hair and clean my mind. But remember this: the system is cracking from within and the noise will come from those who once worshipped it.

First, I would like to thank the BBC news BBC News (World) BBC News Swahili BBC News Africa organization for being able to carry out this work of exposing the ABDUCTIONS that are taking place in our nation. There have been incidents of ABDUCTIONS, especially targeting critics of the government, from the year 2020 up to 2024 — more than 200 people have been reported ABDUCTED. And the majority of them are members of the opposition party CHADEMA. This is according to a UN Report released this year. The pace of ABDUCTIONS has intensified to the extent that even RELIGIOUS leaders are being abducted, and others attacked and injured because of their stance. A few months ago, we witnessed the abduction of FR KITIMA, who was injured in the head area, and the attackers’ intention was to kill him — but by God’s grace, he survived. KANISA LA UFUFUO NA UZIMA— BISHOP GWAJIMA — held a press conference and advised the government regarding these ongoing ABDUCTIONS in the country. As a result, all his churches nationwide (over 2,100) were closed down, and to this day they are not allowed to worship. More than 3 million citizens across the country who belong to his church have been denied the right to worship simply because their Archbishop condemned ABDUCTIONS. This is the current state of our NATION — there is no single media outlet allowed to write or speak about the ongoing ABDUCTIONS in the country. FREEDOM OF THE PRESS no longer exists. The country has turned into a DICTATORSHIP. We thank you for this report about the abductions you released, for indeed it has given us momentum in this difficult journey of resisting the ongoing ABDUCTIONS in the COUNTRY. As a VICTIM of the ongoing abductions in the country, I am ready at any time to give my full cooperation to you and other media organizations worldwide in exposing these atrocities taking place in our nation. This is the beginning of a long journey filled with threats and living in uncertainty, but I am ready to pay this price to liberate our country from the hands of the BLACK COLONIALISTS.

Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa who has been in power since November 2017, following the military coup that removed President Robert Mugabe. He has now signed into law Constitutional Amendment No. 3, which, among many other things, extends his term of office to 2030, cancels the 2028 elections, extends the presidential term from five years to seven years, and removes the direct election of the President by citizens, transferring that responsibility to Parliament. This is a massive controversial constitutional change, one that would ordinarily require a referendum. However, the President and his advisers have refused to subject these changes to a referendum. That fact alone renders the entire process contestable and places a dark cloud of illegitimacy over his presidency beyond 2028, when his term of office was originally supposed to end. But this crisis will not wait until 2028. It began the moment he signed Constitutional Amendment No. 3 into law, as opponents of the Bill which is now law have already declared the process illegal because there was no referendum. The real challenge facing President Mnangagwa is not so much the opposition, which he has effectively dismantled with the assistance of opposition leaders who have allegedly been bought or co-opted. The real challenge is the economy. As Bill Clinton famously said, “It’s the economy, stupid.” The economy is what will create a wave of political discontent between now and whenever he eventually leaves office, assuming he does not die in office. I have seen some of my South African friends mocking Zimbabweans over this development and saying it is a Zimbabwean issue that Zimbabweans must resolve themselves. One can only say that if one is ignorant of the interconnectedness of our region and the ripple effects that this constitutional change is likely to create. South Africa’s illegal immigration crisis has been authored, in part, by the misgovernance in Zimbabwe, which successive South African governments and the African National Congress have tolerated and, at times, enabled. When the economy deteriorates in Zimbabwe, desperate people cross into South Africa by any means necessary in search of jobs and opportunities. This should not be viewed as a Zimbabwean crisis alone. It is a regional crisis, one that has the potential to create political and social turbulence throughout Southern Africa. History has taught us that whenever there is a crisis in Zimbabwe, South Africa bears much of the burden. But this post is not about South Africa. It is about Zimbabwe and Zimbabweans. The culture of bootlicking leaders and hero-worshipping politicians cuts across Zimbabwean society, both in the ruling party and in the opposition. Part of the reason why the opposition has been emasculated by Emmerson Mnangagwa is because citizens continue to place blind faith in leaders who have delivered very little. Those leaders continue to sell hope to the people, even when many Zimbabweans know that some of them have been captured or compromised. We saw this decadence in the Parliament of Zimbabwe. Opposition Members of Parliament voted with ZANUPF. Only 42 voted against the Constitutional Amendment Bill. The rest supported it. That is a reflection of the deep crisis within the opposition itself. Unfortunately, many Zimbabweans mistakenly think that Zimbabwe’s problems are exclusively a ZANUPF problem. They are not. They are a Zimbabwean problem that Zimbabweans themselves must resolve, and not sit and watch. As long as Zimbabweans continue to hero-worship personalities instead of supporting ideas, institutions and principles, the crisis will never go away. There are people with ideas and solutions for Zimbabwe, but they are not popular enough. Populism has derailed the opposition and made it ineffective in pushing back against ZANUPF’s misgovernance. The signing of Constitutional Amendment No. 3 into law is, in my view, the beginning of a new phase of resistance, assuming events themselves do not overtake any organic resistance to Mnangagwa’s rule. Zimbabwe today is a hopelessly divided society. People are fighting one another, and there is little national unity. President Mnangagwa could have secured his legacy by uniting the country and fixing the economy. Instead, it is evident that his administration remains adrift when it comes to economic management. This is, therefore, a moment for Zimbabweans to reflect on what they want for their country and how they intend to achieve it. For neighbouring countries, particularly South Africa, this is not Zimbabwe’s problem alone. According to the South African government, around 70% of women who give birth at Musina Hospital are Zimbabwean. You cannot simply turn them away. They will continue coming because the Zimbabwean government has failed to build a healthcare system capable of serving its people. An estimated 2,500 Zimbabwean women die every year while giving birth because of inadequate maternal healthcare facilities. The largest hospital in Zimbabwe still relies on a single maternity theatre built in 1977 by the Ian Smith government. That alone is a devastating indictment of the state of public healthcare in Zimbabwe, and a metaphor for the state of affairs. With unemployment estimated at over 95% in the formal and informal sectors combined, it is not surprising that Zimbabweans are prepared to risk their lives crossing crocodile-infested rivers in the Limpopo to reach South Africa. They will continue doing so. No amount of anti-immigration marches in South Africa will stop this reality. One either understands how crises create migration flows, or one lives under the illusion and delusion that Zimbabweans can somehow be prevented from seeking survival elsewhere. As we speak, many large-scale farms in Limpopo employ significant numbers of undocumented Zimbabwean workers. If those workers were suddenly to disappear overnight, the consequences for agricultural production and food prices would be enormous. This is not simply my opinion as an analyst or journalist. I have spoken to numerous farmers in Limpopo. I am a farmer myself and have access to many people within the agricultural sector, including some who are political actors in South Africa. The reality is that complex regional problems cannot be solved by slogans, social media noise or emotional outbursts. They require honest conversations, competent governance and courageous leadership on both sides of the Limpopo. As this law comes into effect, many people must reflect on the roles they played, directly or indirectly, in bringing Zimbabwe to this point. Vice President General Constantino Chiwenga was one of the leading proponents of the idea that President Mnangagwa could and should rule for as long as he wished, as he stated in the video I have attached below. Today, he finds himself effectively locked out of any constitutional path to the presidency. The opposition leader, Nelson Chamisa, also bears a significant share of responsibility. He effectively dismembered the opposition by getting rid of key allies who brought talents and skills that he himself did not possess. He dismantled leadership structures and ran the opposition without a constitution, creating an environment that enabled ZANUPF to infiltrate the opposition through the political charlatan Sengezo Tshabangu, whose actions were aided by Professor Jonathan Moyo’s ideas. Ultimately, the supporters of these two men must not live in denial by blaming everyone else while refusing to examine their own role in what has happened. There is nothing contained in this constitutional amendment, which is now law, that was not predicted. Analysts who warned that these developments would occur were ridiculed. They were demonised on social media, insulted and called names by opposition supporters. That abuse continues to this very day. It cuts across the political divide, both in ZANUPF and in the opposition, where leaders deploy and sponsor people to attack anyone who raises uncomfortable truths about the realities of life in Zimbabwe. One cannot help but wonder whether some of those who have spent years attacking people who brought genuine issues to the table have themselves been manipulated or even indirectly serving the interests of ZANUPF, because it beggars belief that people can be so self-contradictory and self-destructive in the manner in which Zimbabwean politics has unravelled since 2022. In 2021, through Constitutional Amendment No. 2, the running mate clause was removed. That amendment effectively dismantled the constitutional mechanism that many believed would guarantee General Chiwenga’s succession within ZANUPF. The running mate provision had been an important part of the constitutional architecture established by the 2013 Constitution, which was negotiated during the Government of National Unity and endorsed by almost 95% of Zimbabweans in a referendum. The Vice President remained silent. He was warned. I was among those who argued that the removal of the running mate clause was the beginning of what I called a “royal presidency”, one in which President Mnangagwa would accumulate so much power that he could potentially remain in office until his death. All the mistakes that have been made, whether through deliberate action, political expediency or sheer ignorance, have brought Zimbabwe to where it is today. Have opposition supporters finally understood that ideas matter more than bootlicking and hero-worshipping political leaders? I do not know. Their reaction to what is happening in Zimbabwe today will answer that question. Have members of ZANUPF who feel aggrieved by President Mnangagwa’s actions now come to understand that when people speak about constitutionalism, accountability and good governance, they are not necessarily being anti-ZANUPF? I do not know. Time will tell. My thoughts, as I end this article, are with the millions of Zimbabweans who remain trapped inside Zimbabwe with little or no prospect of meaningful economic opportunities and who are unable to live normal lives in the way that citizens in functional countries do. My thoughts are also with those citizens who spent years bootlicking and hero-worshipping politicians, unknowingly aiding this process and helping to create the very circumstances in which they now find themselves: unemployed, economically excluded and without hope for a better future. And my thoughts are especially with those who cannot leave. As the Jamaican reggae artist Buju Banton poignantly said in his song Untold Stories: “Those who can run, run away, but what about those who can’t? They will have to stay.” That, perhaps, is the greatest tragedy of Zimbabwe: those with the means often leave, while the poorest and most vulnerable are left behind to endure the consequences of political failure, economic collapse and broken leadership. Their suffering should never be forgotten.

The official stance: Thomas D. Homan (we love you, but come on!) in Minneapolis: "My goal was to, with the support of President Donald J. Trump, is to achieve a complete drawdown and end this surge as soon as we can, but that is largely contingent upon the end of the illegal and threatening activities against ICE and its federal partners..." Inside baseball: Tom Homan was sent to Minneapolis because he has the most credibility with Trump's base; however, his job in Minneapolis was to draw down, in essence, to retreat. Wait for mass resignations from ICE, who believed America had their backs! As for what Walz and Frey have agreed to, just like the Muslems, lying to your enemy is considered very noble. Actions speak louder than words; the Left's words mean NOTHING! CNN and MSNOW will be playing this clip on a loop, 24/7! Just watch how Democrats and their Republican partners, i.e. Leader John Thune, Lindsey Graham, Speaker Mike Johnson, etc., etc., in crime will defund ICE and DHS. How many times do I have to say it? Stop calling them republicans like it’s some magic force field repelling evil. They ALL are the uniparty. Democrats and Republicans are just different wings of the same rotting, rancid bird. It isn’t really Republicans versus Democrats; it’s our elected representatives and the government they serve against all of us. That’s right, they do not serve the people, they serve the government, i.e., the shadow government and deep state*. The fact is, both hen houses are full to the brim with foxes. Inaction can be just as devastating as a full-on assault. The enemy is not only within the wire, but has taken over command. This takeover of America has been over 100 years in the making. They hate Trump because he not only puts you in the room, but he has also given you a seat at the table. And these unhinged radical transgender activists (and murderers), along with the alphabet mafia (LGBTQ+), are funded and radicalized by America’s foreign enemies, including the CCP, United Nations, WEF, Democratic Socialists of America, and even the unlikely partnership with the Muslim Brotherhood et al. The American political system is collapsing under its own corruption. And that the people who are supposed to represent us have become nothing more than servants of a ruling class that despises the very country they govern. MTG walked away because she finally said out loud what millions of Americans whisper in their kitchens, text to their friends, and mutter under their breath at the gas pump: The system is rigged. The American Dream is dead. And Washington doesn’t give a f*ck. Her resignation video, which many on the right attacked, is actually an indictment. It’s the 21st-century version of Martin Luther King hammering his theses on the church door, except this time the cathedral is a decrepit, corrupt Capitol building rotting from the inside out. Marjorie Taylor Greene 🇺🇸 described the betrayal of the American worker. She described the destruction of the middle class. She described the manufactured misery that’s crushing a generation. And she said the one thing the Political Industrial Complex cannot tolerate: BOTH parties did this. Both parties PROFIT from this. And both parties are LYING to the American people. *The Shadow Government (The Unconstitutional Power of Government Secrecy) i.e., CIA, CFR, MSM, FISA, NSA, Silicon Valley, JSOC, DNI (17 Agencies), 5 Eyes, GCHQ MI6, DHS, DOS, NRO, NCTC, NGA, DOD, FBI and the Deep State (The System Behind the Government, unelected bureaucrats with zero accountability) i.e., the Federal Reserve (a private company NOT the government!), the Treasury, Wall Street, Foreign Lobbyists, Military-Industrial Complex (MIC) Lobbyists, the actual Military-Industrial Complex (MIC)/Military-Industrial-Congressional Complex (MICC) itself, Defense Contractors, Intelligence Contractors, World Bank, IMF.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE STATEMENT BY HON. CALEB AMISI, MP FOR SABOTI, ON RECENT MISLEADING CLAIMS AND REMARKS BY HON.AYUB SAVULA ON KTN NEWS BULLETIN. I have taken note of the unfortunate remarks and propaganda being circulated suggesting that I am engaged in conversations or political arrangements with the William Ruto regime. These allegations are false, reckless, and intended to sow division within those who seek genuine change in Kenya. To my friend Ayub Savula, whom I have known for many years, I say this respectfully: this is no longer the season for political jokes or careless speculation. UNLIKE YOU, some of us are well brought up, well mannered, well schooled, well cultured and highly principled .Ideology has been the bastion of my political journey.Millions of Kenyans have made a conscious and determined decision This struggle is too serious to be trivialized by unfounded accusations. It is also disappointing that some individuals within the opposition have assumed the role of 'prefecting' others and labeling young up coming leaders as moles whenever they air their view on matters of national concern. My consistency in standing with the people cannot be questioned. While you were issuing shoot to kill orders and dining with the repressive regime during the GenZ protest in 2024, I was in the trenches fighting against injustices, government excessive use of force and police brutality. We sung kufa dereva kufa makanga . The opposition politics has not cleansed you , you ought to put on a clean leadership regalia, and just as you obeyed table manners while in government , obey street manners too. No individual or political faction has the monopoly of determining who qualifies to belong to the movement for democratic change. Our unity must be founded on truth, integrity, and shared ideals—not suspicion, propaganda, or personality cults. Those who recently discovered the opposition must remember that many of us were already standing with Kenyans when doing so attracted persecution rather than applause. We therefore urge all who have joined this struggle to approach it with humility, discipline, and mutual respect. Most importantly, Kenya will not defeat authoritarianism by returning to the failed politics of tribal mobilization. Tribalism has never liberated our people, nor will it rescue our nation today. The young people who awakened this country reminded us that Kenya belongs to all its citizens, regardless of ethnicity. Their movement was leaderless, fearless, and deliberately free from tribal divisions. That spirit must not be sacrificed on the altar of old political habits. Attempts to reduce the national conversation into contests between tribal kingpins only strengthen the very regime we seek to replace. The future belongs to issue-based politics founded on justice, accountability, economic opportunity, and equal citizenship. I stand proud that the people of Saboti have entrusted me with leadership across ethnic and political lines. My elections were not victories of tribe but victories of inclusive leadership. That remains the Kenya I believe in and will continue to defend. Equally concerning is the growing tendency by sections of the political establishment to undermine and discredit young leaders through labels and misinformation simply because they fear losing relevance. Kenya cannot continue recycling the same politics by suppressing a new generation of leaders committed to integrity, competence, and national unity. Young Kenyans have spoken with remarkable clarity: they will not return to tribal politics. Their generation seeks economic justice, opportunity, accountability, and the completion of Kenya's Fourth Liberation—one centered on economic emancipation, recovery, and national renewal. We must be prepared to disturb the stubborn status quo or forget about preaching change year in year out. Kenya needs a renaissance Hon. Caleb Amisi, MP Member of Parliament, Saboti Constituency

Bowen demands that inconvenient questions not be asked. Inconvenient truth is supposedly irresponsible. Hearing him bloviate, you get that sinking feeling. You want to believe what you have just heard, because it is comforting, it is nice. But, there is a sensation that wells up from a place AI can’t turn its chipset to. It’s a discomfort. It’s a disquiet. It’s a distress. You know deep down in your gut that it is a lie. Worse than that, your eyes see something completely different, your ears hear something different too. Everywhere you look there is evidence of the opposite of those soothing words. Cleverly chosen words, little more than spin and propaganda. The gentle whispers form deep inside urge caution, they turn comfort into frustration, and the lived experience turns frustration to anger. A quiet rage, as more of us queue up for even more expensive fuel. As Chris Bowen goes from telling us ‘there are no shortages’, to ‘yes there are shortages’, caused by ‘panic buying – but supply is fine’, to admitting there is a supply problem, but it is due to a mix of corporate greed and a panicky public. Soon I am sure there will be an admission that there is a supply shortage, due to poor planning and a complete lack of ability for us to solve it, because we wasted decades destroying the fabric of industry here in Australia – all to help prop up developing nations around us. No... On second thought… Bowen would never admit that. I doubt he will even be pressured to - because the reality is both sides of our political system have been asleep at the wheel. If it is not obvious to you by now that Australia has been in a real and structural decline since at least the early 2000’s, you are simply not paying attention. It is time to wake up to the facts. Australia has been living on the neighbour’s credit card, and we have grown entitled to so many unsustainable things, it will be very painful when they stop paying the bills. Our neighbours have grown tired of carrying us, and it seems it is all coming unstuck, and all at once. Globalisation is rapidly failing. The world is changing – fast. Our fuel supply is uncertain. Our strategic reserve is too small; our supply chains are not robust enough, and the fact that most of it is offshore is terrifying. Worse, we have a housing shortage – largely due to a lack of supply on one side, and out of control immigration on the other. The system is under pressure, and the economy is being held up with paddle-pop sticks and sticky tape. The cracks are patched over with I love NDIS stickers. Our systems are groaning, our standards are slipping and real wages are in absolute decline. The Albanese Government is clearly out of its depth, and Albanese himself is not bright or experienced enough to fix it. He and Bowen are just lifelong politicians. They’ve lived their lives in the bubble, and they just repeat lines written for them by staffers. Staffers trained in the Unions, lobby firms and corporate government relations roles. None of them can even connect the dots between the lies they spew, and the truth we feel. They don’t suffer the consequences of their bad decisions. They dine out and discuss their next great distraction, while Australians line up for the things we once took for granted. There is a seething anger bubbling just below the surface. You can see it on the faces of the passers-by. You can hear it in the voices of friends. It is all coming unstuck, all at once and Canberra has not got a clue what to do about it. Canberra, and the various state governments around the country have caused most of these problems, through a mix of wrong action and inaction. But the people feel it now. We see it for what it is, and we all want something different. The opposition don’t have much time to prove they will be any better. Sure, they have a new look team, but they still seem to miss the point. Maybe it is because they are concerned about their part in this giant mess. Maybe they too are unsure what to do. Maybe it is time for them to get over it and draw a line in the sand. They need to own their mistakes and propose real solutions to our real problems. Because cleverly chosen words just won’t cut it anymore. Time is short. Change is required. Now. I just want Australia back.

🚨🇮🇷 RARE INTERVIEW WITH LEADING IRANIAN PROFESSOR It’s rare I get to interview someone from INSIDE of Iran It’s even rarer to speak to someone who’s openly critical of the regime And not just anyone, but one of the country’s most respected voices Prof. Sadegh Zibakalam was arrested by both the pre-revolution Shah of Iran in the 1970s, and by the current regime 2 years ago He is critical of both the current regime, but also of the past Monarchy, as well as any U.S. or Israeli intervention or alternative to the current regime I enjoyed this conversation as Zibakalam did not mince his words, and he gave me honest direct answers to tough questions: How significant are the protests? What triggered them? Could they topple the regime? Do you think the Supreme Leader could flee the country? Is there a split between the army and the IRGC? Is there a risk of civil war? He says the Islamic regime has never been weaker. Iran's proxies are destroyed, its allies absent during the 12-day war with Israel, its currency in freefall, and its people chanting "Death to the dictator" in the streets. But Zibakalam warns against celebrating regime collapse, asking the question few want to answer: what comes next? He also believes the regime won't risk full military confrontation with the U.S. and Israel, no matter how much nationalist fervor it might generate. The gamble is too dangerous. What if Iranians don't rally behind the flag? Lastly, I asked the Professor: isn’t he worried about being imprisonment again for speaking out? He admits he's terrified. Every time his phone rings, he checks nervously to see if it's the Revolutionary Guard calling. But when asked why he keeps speaking, he gives a striking answer: "If I were in another country with my family safely abroad, I would say exactly the same things." Watch my full discussion with sadeghZibakalam on Iran's economic crisis, why the protests are different this time, and why he refuses to stop speaking despite knowing the risks. 02:48 - “I have actually been sentenced to 18 months in prison because I criticized, Iranian nuclear program.” 07:15 - “The current protests actually started nearly ten days ago. It was initiated by shopkeepers in Main Bazaar of Tehran and they closed their shops." 09:42 - “It's been nearly ten days, and they are still there and they have a protest.” 14:43 - ”But at that time it was a turning point, in my opinion, for the first time there was a significant division between the government on one hand and the people on the other hand.” 15:14 - “The government really did not do anything about this division." 16:11 - “But the younger generation, the more educated Iranians, they sort of distanced themselves from the Islamic government, in my opinion.” 18:21 - ”2 decades ago, people voted for someone not nominated by the government in significant numbers, and that was the beginning of a rift that we saw.” 19:54 - "Now, what we are hearing today is that they are openly and widely saying that we do not want this Islamic government anymore.” 22:06 - “The second important point is that for the first time they are shouting long live Reza Pahlavi, who has been in exile for years” 24:24 - “So why are people shouting his name? It's out of hatred of them and dissension of the Islamic regime." 34:55 - “Trump's warning to the Islamic leaders: if you shoot at Iranian people, I'm going to deal with you." 36:40 - “I think it would be very difficult for Trump to take any action because, what kind of action is he going to take?” 43:57 - “On the other hand, what are we to do when the Islamic regime is attacked by foreign power?” 46:04 - “We might even see fighting among the Revolutionary Guard itself, those who tend to support the government and those who tend to support the people.” 50:03 - “Who is going to rule Iran? In my opinion, no one, because we have no organized opposition.” 51:10 - “But if the Islamic regime is overthrown, there would be complete chaos.” 57:06 - “I obviously have heard, like many other Iranians, that the Supreme leader is planning to go to Russia, and I think it's a setup.” 01:03:04 - “The Islamic regime has become so weak as far as her allies are concerned.”

SIFUNA, IN TROUBLE-PRAY FOR HIM!! When I posted on this Facebook page about Babu Owino and Orengo allegedly planning to finish Sifuna politically, many people insulted me. Check my Facebook post dated 25/8/2026. Today’s information from reliable sources as received: In the last Linda Mwananchi meeting, Orengo told Sifuna that he has been in politics long enough and understands the game, even before Sifuna was born. He reportedly said there is no way Sifuna can be his party leader and run for presidency under his watch, being the oldest, “over his dead body.” It is either Sifuna supports him or leaves Linda Mwananchi. Babu Owino also supported Orengo and told Sifuna that he is still a junior in Kenyan politics a half term senator , and they cannot allow a first-term elected leader to lead them. Babu further told Sifuna that when they were fighting for freedom and against oppression in ODM together with Orengo, Sifuna was too loyal to Baba to speak out. He claimed Baba had oppressed them, and that it is either Babu becomes the party leader or they all go for an election. Sifuna told them that he is already the preferred candidate and that if they fight over party leadership will only weaken Linda Mwananchi and expose their differences, which is not good. Orengo and Babu Owino walked out of the meeting and told Sifuna directly: “Let’s meet on the ground and see who has the numbers.” Today, Babu Owino and Orengo went back to Homabay , and Orengo officially declared that he is in the presidential race. Here is Orengo’s message to Sifuna in Luo as per the video above while in Homa Bay: “...There is no politician here who has been in politics longer than I have, non.” “And if you go around calling yourself a party leader while Orengo is still here, you must be having a problem.” In Kiswahili: “Hakuna mtu hapa ambaye amekomaa katika siasa kunishinda (Orengo). Na kama unajiita "Party Leader" ningali hapa, lazima utakuwa uko na shida pahali.” My advice to Sifuna: I told you that Babu and Orengo, without Raila, and with their ambitions, can do anything to make sure you are finished politically. Remember when they started Linda Mwananchi, many believed Babu would shine because he openly said, “Baada ya Baba ni Babu.” But after Baba died, questions started emerging about who would take over the political space. I was informed that Babu called his financier, who was in Kilimani with some of my close associates, and allegedly told him that the stumbling block had been naturally eliminated and that he now had space to grow. Sifuna, be careful. If truly Babu Owino and Orengo support you under Linda Mwananchi, why are they not openly supporting you or giving us any video evidence of them supporting your presidential bid? They have openly supported Riggy G and Kalonzo for presidency, but not Sifuna. If the goons in Homa Bay were organized by Wanga, why were they not attacked Babu and Orengo today in Homa Bay by the said goons? I think you know the answer. What happened is that Babu organized goons and attacked Sifuna, then it created the impression that Babu was the savior who came to rescue Sifuna and the entire Linda Mwananchi movement. Sifuna, be careful. Babu and Orengo are political opponents who, in my view, have their own ambitions and may do anything to remove you from the equation. If you need my honest advice, Sifuna, you have my number. Call me. Babu atakumaliza wakiwa na Orengo. Remember, you were in ODM when Baba died without speaking with Babu and Orengo because of the political differences that had already emerged while he was alive. They openly attacked and disrespected Baba Raila Amollo Odinga

When Morgan Tsvangirai died on 14 February 2018, a Congolese businessman who owned mines in Zimbabwe and who was friends with President Emmerson Mnangagwa and Vice President Constantino Chiwenga asked me what sort of advice I would give the President and his deputy on how to handle the death of the former Prime Minister. I told the businessman that President Mnangagwa and Vice President Chiwenga should send an Air Zimbabwe plane to South Africa to bring back Tsvangirai’s remains. I also said that they should send a delegation comprising senior ministers, family members, and opposition representatives on that plane to accompany the body back home. I advised that when the plane landed at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport, fire engines should line up and give a water cannon salute as a mark of respect, and that the president and his deputy should be there too. I said that the government should not just give Morgan Tsvangirai a state funeral, but should go further and declare him a national hero, but allow him to be buried at his village as per his wish. My reasoning was simple, that would have been the most powerful way to unite Zimbabweans, a people long divided by partisan politics and hate. I never knew whether the businessman conveyed my advice to Mnangagwa and Chiwenga, but it did not happen. I mention this today because everything I suggested then is exactly what the Kenyan government has done for opposition leader Raila Odinga — honouring him in ways that transcend political lines and affirm national unity. That conversation happened in February 2018. Six months later, the same businessman took me to meet Vice President Chiwenga. On the same day, we met with the EU and British ambassadors in the VP’s office where we talked about the need to heal Zimbabwe and reach out to the international community. On the same day, I was introduced to President Mnangagwa in his office, where we once again discussed the need for him and his team to unite Zimbabweans. After those meetings, I realised that nothing was going to change in Zimbabwe. It pains me deeply when I look at our politics because what needs to be done to unite Zimbabweans is neither complicated nor costly. These are simple, symbolic gestures that demonstrate respect, humility, and leadership. If the government had sent a plane to fetch the remains of the former Prime Minister, it would have cost almost nothing, yet the unity and goodwill it would have generated would have been priceless. If the government had declared Morgan Tsvangirai a national hero, it would not have cost a cent more than a few words and a sense of statesmanship — but it would have healed wounds and inspired hope in a nation desperate for both. I do not know how politicians think or what drives their decisions, but too often they miss historic opportunities because they are consumed by petty rivalries, egos, and ideological emptiness. Sometimes, it is not what you spend that builds a nation, but what you choose to honour. I salute Kenya for seeing beyond its political differences. When the Kenyan Airways plane carrying Raila Odinga’s remains entered Kenyan airspace, its call sign was changed from KQ203 to RAO001 — “RAO” representing Raila Amolo Odinga’s initials, and “001” symbolising a presidential-style designation reserved for a man who dedicated his life to public service and democracy. President William Ruto declared seven days of national mourning and made today a public holiday in honour of Raila Odinga. That is what true leadership looks like — the ability to rise above partisanship and honour a compatriot whose contribution shaped the nation’s story. I hope the ZANUPF leadership will one day understand that it is the small gestures that define great nations, that there is a time for political contests and a time for unity, healing, and respect. Sometimes it is the advisors around leaders who make them look great, and sometimes it is the same advisors who make them look terrible. True leadership requires the wisdom to discern between those who serve the nation’s interests and those who serve only their own. The legacy of any leader is often shaped not just by their intentions, but by the quality of counsel they choose to listen to. Well done, Kenya, you have shown the world what can be achieved when a nation chooses unity over division and sets aside pettiness.👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 You have proved that greatness is not found in the size of a nation or the wealth of its leaders, but in the humility to honour those who helped shape its democracy — even when they once stood on the other side of politics.

🚨Jimmy Dore claims Trump staged his Butler assassination attempt; Charlie Kirk’s murder was a Freemason ritual involving Mossad, the French and U.S. militaries, Trump, Kash, Bongino, and men in maroon shirts, and Erika Kirk is a CIA construct planted in Charlie's life after trafficking children in Romania. JIMMY: “I'm convinced Trump's assassination attempts were faked. They were inside jobs. Especially Butler... Trump was in on that Butler thing.” “It’s clear that the U.S. military was involved in Charlie’s assassination. The freakout over Candace discovering the Fort Huachuca connection is proof of this.” “There were lots of individuals wearing maroon at Charlie’s assassination. That’s the color of the French military.” “Candace is saying there’s a Masonic lodge made up of ex-French military that the French government just charged with being an assassination ring, and this fits into that perfectly, right?” PROFESSOR JIANG XUEQIN: “Yes, you have to remember that this happened in Utah, which is where the Mormons are. The Mormons are a very important part of the deep state. This is probably an operation that involved a lot of different deep-state factions.” JIMMY: “Yes, it wasn’t just Mossad. It wasn’t just the CIA. It wasn’t just the French military. It was the Mormons and all those people and Donald Trump, Dan Bongino, and Kash Patel are completely aware of this happening, and they know if they go against it, they are going to end up like Charlie Kirk themselves.” XUEQIN: “Yes, after Charlie was assassinated, there was no more major opposition to this war in Iran. He wouldn’t compromise on this issue. He went to the White House and talked to Trump directly and said, ‘You’ve got to stop this.’” JIMMY: “I think that’s when the decision was made to get rid of him. They tried one more time to bribe him in the Hamptons. He turned it down. The plan was already in progress to kill him, but they were like, ‘Let’s try one more time.’ It didn’t work. He turned down their money.” “His wife, Erika Kirk, it’s obvious she was put in his life. You know, she’s a 17-year-old beauty queen somehow working with trafficking in Romania.” “If the CIA had a vagina, she came out of it.” “Everybody around him, from Tyler Bowyer to Andrew Kolvet to Mikey McCoy, his father. All those pastors. It’s one big swamp, right? That’s the swamp.” XUEQIN: “Well, that’s what the Epstein files teach us, right? These are extremely depraved people.” JIMMY: “What do you make of the journalists who had really great reputations up until the Epstein files... like Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger?” LOL Hey @realdDonaldTrump, Kash Patel, and Dan Bongino: Did you cover up Charlie Kirk’s murder by the Freemasons, Mossad, the CIA, and the French and U.S. militaries because you feared the men in maroon shirts would kill you too? Bret Weinstein hosted Jimmy Dore and Viva Frei a few days ago to discuss Charlie's murder, calling Jimmy an “honest broker” on the subject who “reasons from the evidence.” Does this sound like an honest broker reasoning from the evidence? Jimmy has spent ten months spewing low-iq, deranged, malicious lies to millions of people on YouTube, inciting an online lynch mob against Erika Kirk, Charlie's best friends, and the organization he dedicated his life to. Erika Kirk is a CIA construct who trafficked children in Romania before being planted in Charlie’s life? Is anyone shocked that Erika Kirk now faces a growing number of death threats? Am I allowed to “just ask questions” too, Bret Weinstein?

Capas-born actor Brent Manalo has doubled down on his opposition to the proposed Pax Silica initiative, emphasizing that his identity as a native of Tarlac compelled him to speak out and protect his home province. Reflecting on his decision to raise awareness, the actor revealed that he immediately took the time to research the project after first learning about it a couple of weeks ago. While acknowledging that the development comes with possible benefits, he ultimately found that the risks far exceed the advantages. "Ako syempre, Tarlaqueño talaga ako, so once narinig ko 'to, I think a couple of weeks ago ko siya unang nalaman, I really did my research. May mga pros siya, but then, I think the pros were outweighed by the cons," Manalo shared with radar Entertainment during the media launch of his stage play “The Art of Breaking Up,” which is slated in November. For the actor, raising his voice against the project is both a civic duty and a personal responsibility to safeguard Tarlac's natural beauty and agricultural heritage from potential harm. "As a Tarlaqueño, you have to use your voice. It’s such a beautiful province na pwedeng masira because of this project. So I think I have to do my part as a Filipino and as a Tarlakenyo," he added. Manalo’s recent remarks come after his earlier post on X, where he flagged possible displacement among agricultural workers tied to the planned 1.6k-hectare AI and tech hub in New Clark City. The project is part of a US-led initiative that aims to build a “secure” and “innovation-driven” silicon and nickel supply chain—an area where the Philippines plays a major role, accounting for 95 percent of global nickel ore exports, based on 2025 data from the Philippine Nickel Industry Association. He pointed out that Tarlac has long depended on agriculture, and raised concerns that farmers could lose not just their land, but their main source of income. For him, the bigger question is simple: are these kinds of developments worth the cost? His stance echoes concerns from various groups, including environmental advocates, civil society organizations, and farmers, who have been sounding the alarm over possible land displacement, environmental damage, and even issues tied to national sovereignty. One of them, the Institute for Nationalist Studies, has gone as far as calling for the project’s outright rejection. The group claimed that the Philippine government is offering land and natural resources to the United States rent-free. "Under the guise of integration into global supply chains, Pax Silica is another false promise of technological development for the Philippines, while the US and its allies keep Filipino workers toiling at the most labor-intensive part of production," it said. As the conversation continues online, the debate has grown into a larger one: how to balance progress and innovation with the welfare of local communities. For now, Manalo remains among the public figures using their platform to keep that conversation going, especially for those who might be directly affected.

A young legend by the name Dennis Mureithi has single-handedly shaken the Ben Kumi industry. The boy is said to have supplied high voltage electricity to a vintage baddie who has now surfaced on TikiToko breathing fire like a dragon guarding its treasure. Na ndio maana me huwaambia Kila siku,, akili mjini, nguvu Shimalavandu. The old mama, who looks like she attended the independence celebrations as a witness, has issued a serious public announcement to all the yellow yellow damsels planning to attend the WRC in Naivasha. Her message was very clear “Stay away from Dennis!” But the internet detectives are asking very tough questions,, because in the middle of all this chaos, Dennis allegedly disappeared with her Toyota Harrier this morning & he's currently mteja wa nambari. One minute the Harrier was parked,, the next minute Dennis is seen doing the sambusa angle drive along kimende with yellow yellow damsels inside heading towards Naivasha. My people, life is very simple. To qualify as a certified Ben Kumi, you only need a few basic ingredients; Akili kidogo,, Good English to say “Hello beautiful, you look 25 today” to a 50yr old woman,, Sweet mouth capable of promising heaven while you live in Kaptembwa,, And of course very high libido that can supply high voltage electricity. For extra strength you must Go to the gym, Eat well, Chew Mukombero like a He goat, and finally kneel down and pray to Yehova Wanyonyi for energy that can supply power to all sizes of mafuurmbanya. The way this mama was breathing fire on TikiToko, you could tell Dennis is not a rookie. The boy clearly understands the assignment like a student who has seen the exam paper before the exam. At this rate, the poor woman is now defending Dennis like a government project, yet the Harrier has already relocated to an unknown destination. Cheeiii, some men are hearing good out there. They just supply old women with high voltage electricity and they live a very Softlife. Mimi tangu mumama wangu wa KRA akate tikiti to Sayuni, my life has never been the same again,, kama sio pesa za Elon, ningekua nisha Rudi Sikhendu kuchoma Matofali.🥹

Dear David Coltart, WHY I CANNOT SUPPORT QUINTUPLE C: COLTART, CHAMISA AND CCC My attention has been drawn to your fraudulent and disgusting tweet you posted on my Twitter TL yesterday David, in which you quoted a tweet I posted four years ago on 22 January 2019 in memory of my father. I reproduce below both tweets for ease of reference: “I have always genuinely sympathized with you Jonathan - the loss of your father in such circumstances must be devastating. I just don’t understand why you continue to side with the party which brought such suffering to your family, and which still brings so much suffering.” – Tweet by David Coltart, 30 July 2023; commenting on my tweet below I posted four years ago: “1/5 On 22 January 1983 my father, Melusi Job Mlevu, was callously murdered in Tsholotsho by gukurahundi soldiers & the CIO. They tortured him upon his arrest & in front of his family; got him to dig a shallow grave, tortured him again; pumped bullets into his body & buried him!” – Jonathan Moyo tweet posted on 22 January 2019. Now David, are you really serious that you “have always genuinely sympathised with me”, because of “the loss of [my] father in such circumstances”? And since there’s no strategic ambiguity about the meaning of “always”, as it means exactly what it says, how have you “always genuinely” expressed your sympathy over all the years, since knowing about the circumstances under which I lost my father? The fact that your tweet yesterday is a response to a tweet I posted a long four years ago on 22 January 2019 – in memory of my father who was murdered by the Fifth Brigade in Tsholotsho on 22 January 1983 – shows and proves that you’re a fraud and a charlatan with neither sensitivity towards me and my family nor respect for us as Africans and human beings. All told, and typically of Zimbabweans of British colonial extraction and in particular of soul-free Rhodies, you’re contemptuous of our culture as a family and as Africans. You see David, it is fraudulent and utterly disgusting of you to claim that you have ever sympathised with me over my father’s loss. It’s actually patronising and very insulting in the extreme. Your fraud is clear even to yourself, that’s why you did not express your so-called sympathy when I first posted my tweet on 22 January 2019 in memory of my father who was murdered on 22 January 1983. In fact, until your fraudulent tweet yesterday, you had never before expressed any genuine or even non genuine sympathy for me and my family regarding the loss of my father on 22 January 1983. Even fools will immediately see that the key sentence in your tweet yesterday is not about your cruel declaration of fraudulent sympathy for me and my family over the circumstances of my father’s loss, a loss my family commemorated this year not yesterday but seven months ago on 22 January 2023, with no tweet of sympathy from you. The sentence in your tweet yesterday that captures what you really foolishly communicating to me is this: “I just don’t understand why you continue to side with the party which brought such suffering to your family, and which still brings so much suffering.” David: what I say, believe and do is without exception based on and an existential product of what I know, what I think and what I have experienced or lived. I never say, believe or do anything that I don’t know, don’t, I have not thought of or which I don’t believe. Now David, you pretend to be a democrat who believes in the rule of law as enshrined in the Constitution, so, what business of yours is my choice of what side to support or to not support in politics? Are my freedom of conscience and my right to make political choices freely now subject to your understanding, or are they my constitutional rights, as they are for every Zimbabwean, in terms of sections 60 and 67 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe? Are you aware David and do you understand that the Constitution in 67(1)(b) says every Zimbabwean citizen has the right “to make political choices freely”? And, David, are you aware that section 60 of the Constitution says every person, not just every Zimbabwean but every person, has the right to freedom of conscience which includes “freedom of thought, opinion, religion or belief”, and “freedom to practice and propagate and give expression to their thought, opinion, religion or belief, whether in public or in private and whether alone or together with others”. The fact that you quoted and abused my personal tweet I posted on 22 January 2019 in memory of my father who was brutally murdered by the Fifth Brigade on 22 January 1983 to say you “don’t understand why you [me] continue to side with the party which brought such suffering to your [my] family, and which still brings so much suffering”; shows that you are either ignorant of sections 60 and 67 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe, and proves that you are a fraud and a charlatan with no constitutional values. Why do you want to police my freedom of conscience and my right to make my political choices freely? Just why do you and your lot in CCC, think that you can interfere with my freedom of conscience and my right to my political choices that are guaranteed to me by the Constitution of Zimbabwe? If you and your lot were genuine democratic change champions, as you claim and purport to be, you would be the first to understand and to propagate freedom of conscience and the right to make political choices freely as sacrosanct constitutional values and principles that must be respected for every Zimbabwean at all times. But this has not been possible because you are frauds and charlatans. Now, your attitude towards me, the one captured in the disgusting tweet you posted yesterday, leads me to conclude without any fear of being contradicted that you are a frivolous and stupid person, David. Otherwise, if you care to know, there are three months that are cruel to me. October in which I lost my daughter Zanele in 2015, November because of what happened to me, my family and some colleagues during the 2017 military coup – it was also on 11 November 1965 that Rhodesia under which you blossomed, unilaterally declared independence – and 22 January the dark day on which my father was murdered. These are traumatic days for me in the calendar year. You see, I was a student in California in the US when my father was murdered by the Fifth Brigade in cold blood on 22 January 1983, having gone to the US before independence in 1977. When this awful tragedy happened, I did not know who my father was. I was born when my mother was barely 16 years old, and I was raised by my maternal grandparents who, like my mother, did not want me to know who my father was for reasons best known to them. Although, as I grew up, I understood their position from our cultural perspective as Africans, it nevertheless profoundly pained me. Truth be told, I was most grateful and I still am to this day, that my grandfather was a great father and my grandmother a great mother to me in ways that made me who I am today. I got to know who my father was well after I had graduated with my doctorate in 1988 and long after his gruesome murder, about which I was first told only 10 years ago. Since then, while it's been a profound rebirth for me to connect with my father through the loving Mlevu clan at large, I owe my dear sister Simiso an existential debt of gratitude. Through her, my kids have a hand-holder gateway through which to know about their grandfather. I really thank God and the spirit of the Mlevu clan for Simiso. The fact that I was born on 12 January, and that my father was brutally murdered on 22 January, makes the month of January an unbearable time of anguish for me, more so given that my father and I never met in life. When four years ago on 22 January 2019 I posted the tweet that you abused yesterday with reckless abandon, as you exposed your disconnection from the African experience, I was existentially troubled by the worst that could have happened to me and to my family on 15 November 2017, which got me thinking about what happened to my father, and even more troubling against the backdrop of the events of November 2017, I was devastated by the fact that I never met my father, and I spent the better part of 22 January 2019 wondering what life could have been for me had I known him in life and grown up under his parental care and guidance. You see David, maybe this is not true of people of European ancestry like you but, for many Africans it is very common for kids to be raised by their grandparents, like I was. As things turned out, I grew up knowing many such kids as my peers, the majority of whom never got to know who fathered them, some of whom are leading very successful lives in society as you read this. Unlike them, I was fortunate to end up knowing who my father was, but I was unfortunate not to have met him, and even more unfortunate to have known of him long after his death, made worse by the tragic circumstances of that death. I do not have a fly by night connection with Zanu PF. When I finished my high school in California, I proceeded to university there for my undergraduate education on a scholarship I got through Zanu PF. While an undergraduate, I was the political commissar of the Zanu PF branch in Los Angeles. I did my masters and doctoral degrees with academic scholarships endorsed by Zanu PF and underwritten by the Government of Zimbabwe through a staff development programme at the University of Zimbabwe. Having gone through Mgagao run by Zanu PF, and having gotten university education to the highest level under the auspices of Zanu PF, I have a long history and experience with Zanu PF, and with Zanu PF people whose complexities define who I am as an adult Zimbabwean, for better or for worse. It's my history, I'm proud of it and I own it. It’s an inescapable truth that each individual, and each therefore each person has a unique existential history best known to himself or herself, family and to a small cohort that has been intimate parts of that personal history. It's hopelessly foolish for someone to hope to prescribe a history on anyone. Every human being is who they are. And it's a fact not exclusive to me that my association with Zanu PF has not always been rosy. Life is a personal struggle between the person or the individual and the social formations through which life goes on. It’s common cause, that the military coup was a traumatic experience for me and my family and that it was profoundly painful and life changing in untold ways. It’s also common cause and not surprising to any normal human being that I blamed Zanu PF for that traumatic experience. Anyone else in my situation would have done the same at point or another. Yet the bigger story is that I, my family and my colleagues survived that 2017 ordeal with the very direct, active and truly genuine assistance and support from Zanu PF people. Working with other African Angeles, and I emphasize African Angeles, it was Zanu PF people who made sure that we were able to be safe and to get out of the country to be where I am today, all of them at great risk to their lives or livelihoods. In 2017 I was saved to be alive today by Zanu PF people. During the life threatening 2017 ordeal that my family and I went through, there was not even one person associated with the opposition as it was then, or as it is today, who reached out to find out where I was or how I was doing. It is common cause, some of it is documented, that many in the opposition then and who are still in opposition today, actually wanted me dead, all because of my political differences with them. You David Coltart, who now wants to pretend that you “have always genuinely sympathised with me”, never inquired after me. That’s why I think you are a monumental fraud and a charlatan. I repeat, I was helped out of the traumatic ordeal in 2017 by Zanu PF people, not by anyone from your lot David, not even one. Of course, at some point and largely because of the 2018 general election I found myself connected with some of your lot, especially Nelson Chamisa and others who were close to him or working with him i the election campaign, as the MDC-A presidential election candidate. I will not rehash that story here, as it has been told very well by many others. From my experience, and the lessons I have extrapolated from the late Vice President Joshua Nkomo, such as on the attached video clip, I have come to better appreciate that it is a mistake and wrong to a understand and define a political party with a deep-seated background and history like Zanu PF in terms of its leadership; rather, a grounded political party with a long history is necessarily defined by its founding values, constitution and membership, not least because the membership is permanent while the leadership comes and goes. By the same token, I have come to better appreciate that the mistakes or excesses of the leadership of grounded political parties with an entrenched history should not automatically or reflexively be ascribed or attributed to or blamed on the membership. On 15 November 2022, Patrick Zhuwao and I wrote an open letter to Zanu PF members to precisely make this point. I am attaching herewith a link to that letter, lest you missed it. It’s a self-explanatory letter which contextualises and explains everything that I did and said between 15 November 2017 and 14 November 2022. It also explains why do not support Nelson Chamisa and your CCC. I stand by the contents of that letter. In this connection, I draw your attention and that of your lot to an interview done by the late VP Joshua Nkomo in 1983 – which is attached herewith as already mentioned – in which Nkomo explains why the Fifth Brigade was not a Shona issue. Although Nkomo made it clear that gukurahundi was a political and not a tribal issue, I have come to understand and appreciate that it was a political issue not in the sense of Zanu PF as a political party in membership terms but, rather, in the sense of the political leadership and, more particularly, of individuals within that leadership. However, given your utter contempt for sections 60 and 67 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe, I do not expect you to understand the dangers of painting a tribe or a political party with one brush, or to understand the misguided consequences of conflating the leadership of a political party with the party’s membership or even of treating the leadership of a political party as a monolithic formation that always acts in concert. Basically David, and just like Nelson Chamisa’s trolls, it's clear you believe that you can abuse my personal and tragic circumstances to blackmail me for your doomed political purposes in two ways. First, you think you can abuse the circumstances of my father’s brutal death to somehow generate cheap and outrageous propaganda for yourself, Nelson Chamisa and CCC that I support Zanu PF which killed my father, and you do this under your self-indulgent presumption that everyone who is in Zanu PF as a political party is murderous by definition. Second, and based on this falsification, you’re abusing my tragic personal circumstances regarding my father’s loss to blackmail me into supporting you in particular, given my attack on your imposition as CCC's Ward 4 councillor candidate in Bulawayo; Nelson Chamisa and CCC . Your outrageous position is that if I cannot support you, I must keep quiet about you, under the ridiculous presumption that you’re all by definition virtuous, competent, capable, the only and best democratic alternative for everyone in Zimbabwe. On the back of sections 60 and 67 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe and drawing from my knowledge, thoughts, experiences and received wisdom from the late VP Joshua Nkomo, I have dealt with your self-indulgent presumption that Zanu PF is a monolithic formation with undifferentiated leadership and membership structures, in which you take everyone in it to be murderous by definition. In light of the fact that you invited this intervention by your disgusting and intrusive tweet you posted yesterday, and because we are age mates, I conclude my rejoinder to your offensive tweet by telling you what I think about you, about Nelson Chamisa and about CCC. David, as a former member of the Rhodesian security services which were murderous and which committed unspeakable atrocities across Zimbabwe and beyond its borders into Zambia and Mozambique, you have no moral authority to pontificate about human rights or anything of the sort. You David Coltart operated in Matabeleland where you did dastardly things, some of which you narrate in your autobiography and many of which you will take to your grave untold, because you never faced a commission of inquiry to be grilled under oath about your service in the Rhodesian security services. The fact that a person like you has remained active in Zimbabwean public affairs for 43 years since independence is a huge credit to our national politics because, with your background in the Rhodesian security services, you would not have survived this long in public life elsewhere. It’s mind boggling that Chamisa has imposed you to run for Ward 4 councillor in Bulawayo, after you were resoundingly defeated in your party’s Ward 4 community candidate selection caucus in which you were clobbered and you came a distant last among the contestants. Thanks to your being power hungry, you have made it possible for everyone to see that you’re a fake democrat and a charlatan who believes in the imposition of candidates. Your criticism of what you say is Zanu PF's undemocratic practices is hollow and hypocritical. Furthermore, it’s shocking is that Chamisa is bent on imposing you from Harare as Bulawayo mayor. You don’t qualify for that position not least because you do not speak the language of the local community in Bulawayo despite having been born there 66 years ago. Unlike Members of Parliament or Senators, whose chambers conduct their business mainly in English, Councillors and Mayors work in the local languages of their local communities. For the above reasons, and as an expression of my freedom of conscience and my right to make my political choices freely, I do not and cannot support you at all David. As for Chamisa, having worked closely with him between 2018 and 2021, I came to the settled conclusion in November 2021 that he is a dictator with a very dangerous God complex, in that he sees himself as having been chosen by God to lead Zimbabwe, and more ominously, he claims to have direct communication with God who has the last word on what he should do or say in public. In politics, that’s an unworkable Jim Jones proposition. Because of his God complex, Chamisa is visible only when there are elections as he was in the 2018 harmonised general election, March 2022 by-elections and now for the 23 August harmonised general election. After he ditched his supporters in August 2018 when he called them "ma stupids" [stupid people], in January 2019 and in July 2020, his unavailability to provide leadership when his supporters needed it triggered a viral political joke that: ‘in Zimbabwe there are three things that are unavailable when you need them the most, the UN, a condom and Nelson Chamisa’. But even more telling aboutChamisa is the shocking way in which he has used CCC since its formation in January 2022, and particularly in the party’s candidate selection for the forthcoming elections, to ruthlessly purge the opposition. It's been scary and it explains why the opposition in Zimbabwe today is the most clueless and the weakest since independence in 1980. How can a democratic change champion insist on running a political party with no constitution, no structures, no bank account and no accountability? I cannot support a leader like that. There’s nothing more dangerous in politics than, a young 'popular' dictator with a God complex. My conscience and freedom to political choices freely do not allow me to support a leader like that. As for CCC, it has no ideology, no values, no constitution, no structures, no bank account, no policies and no other visible office bearers besides Chamisa, Gift Siziva, Fadzayi Mahere and Amos Chibaya; and it has not been launched to boot. There’s just no way anywhere on earth that a political formation like that can be supported by rational people with rational expectations. That’s why I cannot side with you David or with Chamisa or with CCC. You’re not “the alternative”, you’re just a worse and more dangerous alternative which can only be supported by polticidal people who do not mind moving from the frying pan into the fire!

To the "Don't Split the Vote Crowd". I see your anger at PPC voters, lashing out that we're going to split the vote, and "destroy Canada". My 2 cents, you're actually mad at the party you say you support, because deep down you know that they're going to disappoint you again. They won't debate, or they don't speak up when candidates from other parties are excluded from debates. They insult your intelligence by distilling policy down to three or four word slogans, which they repeat day in and day out for months, while only releasing their full platform after advance polling is done. How cynical is that, that they expect you to vote for them without even giving you a chance to evaluate their platform, with less than a week until you vote? None of their candidates are allowed to say anything but normally just retweet the Leader's tweets. Remember how they treated Christine Anderson? These are the people who will make Canada "The Freest Country on Earth"? You know or will find out soon that their party actually is as globalist as the Libs and that their goals are the same, that's why there's virtually no daylight between the two parties, and that previous CPC PMs signed us up for Agenda 21 and 2030. Are you happy about how your government has treated you over the last five years? How did you like being treated like a criminal if you refused to take a jab, or took it to keep your job or stay in university, even if you didn't want to? How did you like the silence from the "Opposition"? Did you feel like anyone had your back? Do you remember Maxime Bernier and his unwavering support during covid and the trucker convoy, as well as other #PPC candidates? How do you like Drag Queen Story Hour or explicit materials being provided to your young child? How did you like all of the federal MPs falling into line, while your provincial governments locked you up and enforced vax passports & SOGI? Did any of you actually VOTE for this? Or has it been imposed on you by the people you voted for to represent YOU in the House of Commons. How do you like all MPs ignoring the vax injured or dead, and the fact that there's still no accountability for the actions taken during Covid in Canada, unlike other countries? Break the Spell. See the Reality. We Can't Pretend that the Last Five Years Did Not Happen. Vote with your Heart, Vote for Something Different, Vote PPC. Show them that the Status Quo is unacceptable.

When Judge Napolitano asked me on his show how Syria ended up with Abu Mohammed al-Jolani as its “president,” I could almost hear the cognitive dissonance on the other side of the screen. How does a man who was once the emir of al-Qaeda in Syria, a co-founder of ISIS by any reasonable historical reading of his trajectory, become Washington’s chosen man in Damascus? For me, the answer is not a mystery. It is the logical end of a dirty war that began not with Syrian protesters in 2011, but in an American-run prison camp in Iraq years earlier. And if anyone still suspected this was “just a conspiracy theory,” a former CIA officer – John Kiriakou, who went to prison for exposing CIA torture – has now said publicly what many of us have long argued: Jolani is, in all likelihood, a CIA asset. Let’s start with the timeline, because the timeline alone already screams “intelligence operation.” Abu Mohammed al-Jolani was in a CIA-run prison in Iraq – Camp Bucca – alongside another familiar name: Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Both men were released in early 2011. “Coincidentally,” that is exactly when the regime-change war in Syria begins. Within weeks, Baghdadi goes on to lead what becomes ISIS, and Jolani crosses into Syria to found Jabhat al-Nusra – officially al-Qaeda’s franchise in my country. Washington designates Nusra a terrorist organization. The UN follows suit. On paper, Jolani is the enemy. The State Department even slaps a $10 million bounty on his head. But bounties are cheap. Cruise missiles are expensive. And for over a decade, while the US flattened cities in Iraq and Syria allegedly to fight “terrorism,” it somehow never found the time, or the coordinates, to seriously target Jolani or his core command structure, even though he controlled large swaths of Syrian territory from Aleppo countryside all the way to Idlib. Because Jolani and his men were fighting the one government Washington had already decided must go: the Syrian state under Bashar al-Assad. This is where Operation Timber Sycamore comes in: a multi-billion-dollar CIA covert program that funneled weapons, money, and training to so-called “rebels” in Syria. They were sold to Western audiences as “moderate opposition.” On the ground, those moderates were a disappearing species. What existed in reality were hardline Salafi-jihadist factions, with Nusra at the top of the food chain. The Free Syrian Army (FSA) was the mask, the logo on the paperwork, the brand name you could sell to Congress and CNN. The real muscle on the ground was Jolani’s men and other takfiri groups, who did the actual fighting, took the actual territory, and imposed their version of rule. Weapons went “to the moderates.” The moderates magically handed them to al-Qaeda. Everyone in Washington pretended to be surprised. No one stopped the pipeline. Over the years, the mask slipped. US officials themselves began to speak of Jolani as something more than just a former enemy. James Jeffrey, Washington’s former envoy to Syria, openly called Jolani “an asset” for US strategy – not my word, his. Robert Ford, the former US ambassador to Syria, has publicly admitted that he personally worked with Jolani to “take him out of the world of terrorism” and polish him into a politician. Think about what that means: the same US that claims to be fighting an endless war against al-Qaeda quietly devotes diplomatic energy to rehabilitating the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda into a partner, a useful strongman, a future head of state. I said on the show, and I repeat it here: I believe Jolani was recruited in Camp Bucca. The timeline makes no sense otherwise. You don’t walk out of an American-run prison and, weeks later, magically have the networks, the money, the arms, and the logistical capacity to found al-Qaeda in Syria, right at the moment when Washington and its allies need a battering ram against Damascus. Recently, former CIA director David Petraeus even sat with Jolani and told him, “Your success is our success.” What more do people need? A signed employment contract? But let’s assume, for a moment, that you still think this is a stretch. Enter John Kiriakou. Kiriakou is not a YouTuber chasing clicks. He is a former CIA officer who went to prison because he exposed the torture program and named the torturers. His loyalty is clearly not to the Agency’s PR department. Recently, on Unfettered Speech, he described the Jolani situation bluntly. Here is the essence of what he said, which Judge Napolitano played on air: -The “new president” of Syria is a former al-Qaeda member and a co-founder of ISIS. -This same man is welcomed at the White House. -Senior US officials, including the Assistant Secretary of State for the Near East, travel to meet him. -President Trump suddenly lifts sanctions on Syria as Jolani consolidates power, prompting Syrians – desperate and exhausted – to dance in the streets. The only thing that makes sense is that Jolani is a CIA asset, per Kiriakou’s. When a former CIA officer who has already sacrificed his career and freedom to tell the truth looks at the pattern and says, “This is our guy,” it is not a conspiracy theory anymore. Now, you may ask, why would the United States and its allies back such a man? The answer lies in what Syria used to be, and what it has now been turned into. Before this war, Syria, for all its flaws, was a horizontally integrated state. People identified themselves as Syrian first and then Armenian, Druze, Christian, Alawite, Sunni, Shi’a, Kurdish, and so on. The state’s foreign policy aligned with Iran and Hezbollah, supported Palestinian factions, and kept a real deterrent posture toward Israel. For Washington and Tel Aviv, this was unacceptable. The goal was not “democracy”; that word is just wrapping paper. The real objective was to remove a government allied with Iran and replace it with a fragmented landscape: a weak central authority in Damascus, surrounded by sectarian cantons and warlord enclaves, all dependent on foreign patrons. Jolani is perfect for this role. For Israel, he brings vertical division. A man with a long al-Qaeda pedigree ruling Syria is a nightmare for minorities: Christians, Druze, Alawites, Shi’a, many Kurds, and other smaller communities. They will not accept al-Qaeda rule. So they retreat into their own militias, their own cantons, their own de facto mini-states, exactly in line with old Israeli strategic doctrines like the Yinon Plan, which openly advocated fragmenting neighboring states along sectarian lines. On the ground, we already see it: -Druze militias running their own affairs in the south with quiet Israeli backing. -Kurdish forces in the northeast under US protection, managing their own autonomous zone. -Alawites discussing an autonomous coastal enclave. -Christians living in silence and fear. You don’t need formal borders on a map to balkanize a country. When I, as a Syrian of Armenian origin, stop thinking of myself as Syrian first and start thinking purely as Armenian, when I instinctively fear my neighbor because he is from another sect, the balkanization has already happened in the mind. For Washington, Jolani is equally “useful.” He has promised to normalize relations with Israel, to open Syria’s markets to Western capital, and to hand over the country’s resources from the hydrocarbons east of the Euphrates to the gas fields under the Mediterranean to American and allied companies. A 24-million-person country reduced to a reconstruction market: $300 billion worth of contracts, infrastructure projects, and “investments.” But for investors to feel safe, they need a strongman in Damascus who can project the illusion of stability while remaining utterly dependent on foreign protection. That strongman, in their design, is Abu Mohammed al-Jolani. But Jolani is not acting alone. Around him is a constellation of Western intelligence veterans and “conflict resolution” NGOs acting as intermediaries. British MI6 circles, under figures like Jonathan Powell – former chief of staff to Tony Blair – are central in managing this process. Powell runs an organization called Inter Mediate, which specializes in “talking to armed groups.” Behind the humanitarian language lies political engineering. One of Inter Mediate’s operatives, a woman named Clare Haigh, is now said to have an office inside the Syrian presidential palace, advising Jolani on how to talk, how to dress, how to handle journalists, how to sell himself as a reformed jihadist turned statesman. And then there is Qatar. Ahmed Zaidan – once Osama bin Laden’s favorite journalist, photographed sipping tea with him and broadcasting his tapes on Al Jazeera – is now a personal adviser to Jolani. Make it make sense. An al-Qaeda emir, handled by US and British intelligence veterans, advised by bin Laden’s favorite media man, massaged by Western PR consultants, welcomed in Washington, and crowned in Damascus as “president.” If you wrote this as fiction, an editor would tell you it’s too on the nose. Since Jolani took power through an international and regional deal that pushed Assad aside, over 11,000 people have been killed. Many of them are from the very minorities the West loves to mention in speeches but abandons in practice. Videos circulate of his fighters asking terrified villagers at gunpoint, “Are you Muslim or not?” and executing those who give the “wrong” answer, including Druze and Alawites who are not recognized as “true Muslims” by their extremist ideology. Christians, who had already suffered massive emigration between 2011 and 2024, are being squeezed further. They have no organized armed force, no foreign sponsor. They are expected either to live under the mercy of an al-Qaeda-bred regime or to leave the land of their ancestors. This is what Washington’s “asset management” looks like in human terms. If you are an American reading this, you might be tempted to say: “This cannot be. My government would never knowingly empower al-Qaeda.” But it already has, repeatedly. From Afghanistan in the 1980s, when US intelligence backed the Mujahideen (and, indirectly, their Arab foreign fighter allies), to Libya and Syria in the last decade, where jihadist factions were instrumentalized against secular or nationalist governments, the pattern is clear. The names and acronyms change. The logic does not. The same establishment that lectures the world on “democracy” and “human rights” is perfectly willing to install a man like Jolani as the ruler of one of the oldest civilizations on earth, as long as he delivers strategic gains: -breaking the Iran–Syria–Hezbollah axis; -fragmenting Syria into weak, controllable pieces; -opening its resources and markets to Western and Gulf capital; -and giving Israel unprecedented strategic depth and security. Everything else – the massacres, the ethnic cleansing, the collapse of national identity, the destruction of ancient communities – is treated as collateral damage. I am often asked what Syria will look like in five or ten years. I wish I could answer with optimism. Right now, the forces pushing to turn my country into a permanent vassal state – ruled by a former al-Qaeda emir, policed by foreign intelligence, exploited by foreign capital – are incredibly strong. But nothing in this region is permanent. People who come to power by cutting off other people’s heads often lose their own. If there are still sane voices left in Western politics – people like Tulsi Gabbard 🌺, whom I mentioned on air – they must at least recognize this insanity: backing an al-Qaeda emir as “our man in Damascus” is not just immoral; it is ultimately self-destructive. Syria does not need Jolani. The West does not need Jolani. There are Syrians who can have friendly relations with the United States without being former al-Qaeda commanders, without murdering their own people, without turning an ancient nation into a laboratory for extremist social engineering. The question is not whether such alternatives exist. They do. The question is whether Washington and its allies want a sovereign, stable Syria, or whether they prefer a shattered, cantonized carcass kept alive just enough for the next “asset” to feed on.
