POLITICS : The Ironies of The Tragedies and Comedies Bediling Kenyan Politics.

It is only now 28 days to the much anticipated 4th March polls and the Kenyan politician species is not disappointing at all with its absurd theatrics. Some have their mind-sets/frames still in the post independence era. It is all about statesmanship and the politicians, most of them acting like the pretenders to the throne they are, are running helter-skelter tumbling allover themselves, others fumbling with words while others yet still gathering no mosses. Some appear like they are scared of themselves and to the public it appears like they don't even trust themselves with the responsibilities that come appended to the highest office on land, the office of the president.The immediate former president retired to albeit his supposed pastoralism life; grazing cattle,goats and sheep or literally speaking tending, to his ranch.The incumbent is waiting to retire to his hobby, playing golf and most probably it will be at his presumably 'life member' Muthaiga Golf Course Club. The current p.m. being the other principal/partner in the coalition government should be preparing to hang his gloves, throw-in his towel and go shopping for a 1:frying pan, 2:tonnes of frying oil and 3:bundles of baking flour/powder. These items are going to come in handy after the elections when the fact of political oblivion strikes him in the face and he be forced to practice what he has always anticipated all along in regard to his skills/capabilities as a statesmanship material and begin the full length of a career as a 'mandazi' chef. 'Mandazi' is a Kenyan term for traditional dough looking like doughnuts popular on the Kenyan tables for breakfast. He has got no presidential material in him so to speak of precisely because he harbors 'dictatorial tendencies' and thus usually leaves his allies/cronies buffled and lost for words or thoughts for that matter. He has no courtesy, never observes any rules of etiquette nor follows laid down procedures of protocol in any event. He usually tends to over crowd his allies/cronies and makes sure they are left with no democratic breathing-space/room. He will over ride and out-rule everybody out-rightly choosing to over-look the laid down divisions of power and the prerequisite hierarchy in any organized, constituted administrative legal underpinnings. Hence, it has been whispered that not only is he feared rather that respected in Kenya but the case is the same in the whole East African region especially with regard to the East African Community, a block of about 5 countries. There is an economic-political plan to merge the trading-economic blocks and with time come-up with an establishment akin to The E.U., U.S.A., NATO, etc and that in the future there be elected a president from among the former president's club {not con-current sitting president's}to act as a ceremonious supervisor of the countries forming party to the economic-political block. The rumor mills are ripe with the hidden fears of both sitting and immediate former presidents that this fellow of a p.m. being an ex-treason convict defined by his raw passion for power would not be a refined choice for a round-table mate in the likely scenario that he would go ahead and clinch The Office of The President of East Africa, one time after having successfully completed a 1 or 2 year term as a president of Kenya. The league of E.A. presidents are said not to be sitting at ease with this wild idea, except for being diplomatic in public relations, they haven't shouted it to his face! I would like to now go ahead and quote some of the p.m.'s infamous expression for want of raw power and I would like to begin with a strike of the public transport workers sometime last year in Nairobi when they were objecting to the high handedness of the traffic cops in regard to the observance of the rule of traffic which were introduced by a former the-late minister for transport to curb the high cases of road accidents which can largely be preventable if simple road transport thresholds/standards are adhered to. The p.m. of all the public servants rushed to the scene just because it was a readily available mammoth crowd which could be perceived as a probable source of cheap votes and went on to dismiss all the painstaking rules and obligations that had been put in place as a priority concern by parliament for the ordinary life of the Kenyan citizenry to the amazement of every informed Kenyan including the traffic police which in turn categorically retorted to him and the erroneous public transport workers that laid down rules and regulations by legislature suffrage would be followed in letter and spirit, Kenya being a Republic founded upon the rule of law. Another occasion is just recently when The President appointed a commission of Inquiry by The National Police Service to investigate the infiltration of an alleged fake-reserve cop in to the ranks and files of the Police Service which factored in to the killings of over 40 just-graduated recruits cops sent to restore peace in inter tribal clashes in 1 Baragoi area of The Rift valley. The commission came-up with the recommendation that 2 top cops involved in the infiltration and personification of the fake cop who coerced his way into their rank and file be dismissed and /or retired from service and the service be given a thorough shake-up to counter check any such incidences if they might still linger within their corridors. [There have always been cases of ghost workers in the government and its parastatals but this was the 1st incidence in police service.] I was surprised and taken aback when the p.m. declared at a rally that he had received word {whether through emissaries or his consorts nobody knows}that the alleged fake cop wanted to see him and he was smiling with glee you would think it was the secretary general of the U.N. who had requested to see him. It left the informed to quiz and wonder what kind of a persona this fellow of a p.m. was. He has no principles and even though he was garlanded with the non constitution existent post of p.m. making him instantly the other senior coalition principal partner besides the president honoring him with the responsibility of running the government hand-in-hand with the president, he still could not stand either to the etiquette nor courtesy nor the diplomacy involved in such matters touching on the security of the state. The state house regalia does not fit him.He still behaves like he was in the opposition even when he is expected to partner to the reigns of government. He talks of the police like they were his antagonists, like he still has bones to chew with them reminiscent of his rebel opposition days when he was always on the run, wanted for treason and always treated perceived like the suspect he behaves. I think he exhibits a personality/identity disorder and should seek the services of a shrink. He is self destructive at best and should be saved from himself and from the public he intends to exploit and abuse for his dirty games. The way he addresses rallies would make anybody in their right senses suspect he has hidden militants in the crowds and as such I would like to caution all peace loving Kenyans to be worry of their counterparts in the rallies as well as the security forces to cordon-off all his rallies just in case he still harbors those guerrilla warfare antics and save peace loving Kenyans any violent surprises. He is not to be trusted.. You see in his private quest for the highest office in the land, he tends to forget that it is all about working toward achieving universal standards of life for the ordinary citizenry to help them achieve substantial change and thus happiness in life which is an index for the measurement of development. He thinks the presidency is about personal glorification and that is why he is ever surprised when the numbers at rallies never translate to a landslide in the votes. I would like to alert him that people are usually mesmerized by his unpopular theatrics and the large numbers at the rallies only represent bored citizens out for a circus to see for themselves this clown of a fellow acting as a pretender to the throne. To him it is about 'the end justifying the means.' Later, logistics.

POLITICS : The Ironies of The Tragedies and Comedies Bedeviling Kenyan Politicsg

Hi everyone, I have finally managed to once again squeeze some time to access the global audience. Times are dire and call for desperate tough measures/resolutions otherwise bad things might follow especially given that it's only 30 days to go to the elections. The other day 9 presidential candidates and their respective running mates presented their prerequisite papers/documents and themselves for vetting by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission flanked by their ardent supporters in and outside The KICC. Eight passed the thresh-hold while the 9th failed simply because him and his running mate could not make it in time. The IEBC was following/adhering to laid down rules in letter and spirit laying down a model for the presidential contenders to prescribe to as a rude awakening to the realities and expectations of the Kenyan people vis-a-vis the newly dispensed constitution. If one can not simply stand the test of keeping punctual time frames, then it follows logically that they are not fit to run The Office of The Chief at the location level, so they automatically have no business aspiring to run The Highest Office in land, The land of Kenya, measuring approximately 5,000 thousand square feet. The two main/major camps belittling the p.m., v.p. and former long serving foreign affairs minister vis-a-vis the ICC duo of a deputy prime minister and the former agriculture minister are the cocks to look-out for. There have been claims in the media that the rallies are by large pulled,mobilized,orchestrated,organized,choreographed, along ethnic lines thus polarizing whole regions which in turn is feared/seen as a subconscious gear-up for possible chaos,disorder,violence,i.e. large scale breach of peace more or less similar to the 2007 post election violence. You see, my analysis/view/ is that the CORD coalition of the p.m., v.p., and former foreign minister is a mirage because it is based on the fallacy of pity and empathy of being a continuation of the push for change that so the incumbent President in to office by the collective bargain/consensus that pitted the Kenyan people vis-a-vis the then professor of politics, the immediate former president. The factors for one that governed the sway of the Kenyan voter have changed and as such that position does not mirror the fact on the ground.Secondly,the government that is retiring was a product of mediation talks by the group of elites led by the enviable Koffi Annan who brought the bickering parties to the table and got them to share the national cake albeit unwillingly. And share it they did right down the middle from the ministries to the provincial administration and civil service. This included Chiefs and office messengers. Thus, This CORD affair is not based on any stringent,competent,integral,performance, issue-oriented criteria/thresholds/standards. In any case,the v.p. and the former foreign minister have always been at odds with the p.m. during the Incumbent's regime and so they are only coalescing to preserve their individual personal statuses and vested interests. I wouldn't be any more surprised should the v.p. or the former foreign minister quit the rocking boat of the p.m. for the same reason that the other immediate erstwhile lieutenants did. Even his immediate ex-running mate quit in a huff to to find room for democracy to prevail in party politics when it comes to nominating presidential flag bearers. The p.m.'s boat whichever he forms never managers to sail the political waters without major break-offs and fall-apart s. This is largely because his is a one man show and he is known to breath hard on everybody's neck. He calls all the shots and shouts down/out any body who dare have a different opinion. The office of the president has sadly become a personal thing for him since the 82's when he attempted to throw a coup and hundreds lost their lives. You will hear him in rallies echoing the old guerrilla warfare spirit when he eerily starts to command the crowds calling them 'my soldiers' and telling them to 'quick march' to his orders on his way to state house, commander-in-chief ot the armed forces even in an unnecessary country like Kenya. He has never made it through the ballot and if history is to repeat itself he is neither going to make it this time around. I would advice him to start plotting a 2nd strategy plan 'B' along the grounds of secession/guerrilla warfare should he be once again disappointed by the results. I will elaborate further, excuse me.

POLITICS : The Ironies of The Tragedies and Comedies of Politics in Kenya.

Happy 2013 everybody. Hey,I decided to give the "Religion/Science" thing a break momentarily due to the interesting course/developments of politics in Kenya accompanied by its weird politician species as well as its strange electorate species. It's only 51 days to the much anticipated March 4th 2013 elections, the dailies headlines screamed today. The main CORD coalition of close to 15/14 parties formed by the immediate prime minister, vice president and former foreign affairs portfolio officer is fighting it out with other loose/minor alliances and coalitions but with quiet relevant numbers/votes as well which if coalesced together will only leave a gain-able margin of approximately 3.06% cause the data given by the opinion pollsters is that the major CORD coalition purported or largely viewed as will be the most likely precursor to the current government has a following { if elections were abruptly[to be] held today } of a mere 51% followed by The Jubilee coalition of The ICC deputy P.M. and his ICC counterpart who will likely score an average of 39% while the rest of the other minor constellations/parties pull-up an average of 3%,3%,0.3%, 0.1% and some other like 2%. Thus, it consequently follows of convenient necessity that all the other minor/ little constellations will have no alternative choice but to merge or else face the prospects of being outside the ruling government margin and you just know how much that factor contributes to the overall political aspirations/ambitions of the better fraction of Kenyan politician species. I hope you haven't forgotten that they all suffer invariably from the unique Kenyan virus of "it's our time to eat" syndrome. This is where the equivalently Strange Kenyan electorate species is also catapulted in to the wild forays of the Kenyan politician after their ethnic emotions have been fanned in to the fallacious belief that their ethnic cocoons/blocks/units/communities are going to be factored in in the thinly-veiled individual private business interests of their ethnic chiefs/shepherds. In fact if anything , quiet a large number of The Kenyan voter did not bother to register as a voter.Out of a targeted 18 million voters only 14m ended-up being registered by The Interim Independent Electoral Commission. They are afraid of a possible repeat of the 2007 post election violence which killed close to 1,333 and displaced more than 5000 others, both internally and externally. Indeed we still have Kenyan refugees in neighboring Uganda who'd rather stay there as refugees than come back to hopelessness in Kenya.A controversial bill to grant the current elected government servants a whooping KShs.9.3m send-off package has of course caused an uproar by the civil society and other stake holders. Our bunch of these elected civil servants high-way-robbers are quiet a notorious lot especially when it comes to awarding themselves unnecessary hefty packages on-and-off during any particular parliament-lifetime.The Kenyan public is waiting with abated breath to see the outcome of these tussle the govt. has decided to unleash just when we have the elections to deal with as well. You see, it happens that we are having/going to put in a new way of running the business of government by implementing fully the new structural government as enshrined in the new constitution that took the country steel and blood for more than close to 25 years. Thus there are new post and tittles to be filled in and new criteria/methodology to elect and appoint leaders and executives/officers of the next government and everybody is running the hell up and down jostling for the new won freedom never realized before.Now since the main challenger to the major coalition CORD is formed of the 2 ICC suspects it will be most likely that they will form a coalition with the rest of the minor constellations to better their chances of having a sway over the next government just in case AU or just Kenya decides to relent and fully cooperate with the ICC. So far, the scenario is such that the government stated categorically today that they are not going to relent/cooperate with The ICC regarding the matter/issue of freezing the assets/accounts of the 2 contesting ICC suspects.Remember Albashir of Sudan who is wanted by The ICC for the same crimes/sins the contending Kenyan duo are wanted for. He can't fly some places lest the ICC nabs him. An arrest warrant for him was issued by a Kenyan judge but wasn't observed when he came twice to Kenya, once for the inauguration of the new constitutional dispensation and the other I can't remember. If we are to go by that mood/approach then it will most likely turn out that African governments are generally planning a sabotage of sorts of The ICC. It's now like an open secret we have coming, everybody can see where AU is headed. All in all the 2 contending/ running mate candidates are going to have to attempt to safely sail through the ICC cloud hanging over their heads like a judge's life-sentence-hammer through thick and thin. If they gang-up all the remaining pee wee constellations/alliances, then they will close-up the winning-margin if today's pollsters are anything to go by. Hey, the sins/crimes of Bashir of Sudan are on a larger scale than those of his Kenyan duo-counterpart regarding period-length and numbers involved. The S.Sudanese fought for close to 22years and they are still recuperating from the inflicted grievous/ psychological harm.The big fishes don't wonna be caught ever no matter what. AU's initial claim that the ICC was a perceived tool of the west to hold sway over the resources/politics of Africa doesn't hold water no more for Palestine is also planning to move Israel over to ICC as well. Then add to the other numerous but isolated Western cases. Slowly The Globe is spinning to the realization that a Super court/value system is a necessity we can't do without for the sake of universal observance of Human Rights. Thus, our hearts, the Kenyan electorate beats with each passing day as the March 4th elections come to a header. The country seems incapacitated to deal with security for skirmishes are still rife in different parts of the state.We are adopting a wait-and-see approach. They are saying the elections may end-up being won either at the courts or at the ballots.Later logistics.

RELIGION : Reading From The Script of Science.

Hey, I formerly would like to take this opportunity to wish all the liberal progressives, informed/exposed/civilized cosmopolitan human beings of the planet earth a marvelous happy merry Christmas and new Year 2013. You see during the hey days of Jesus of Nazareth, The Christ{PBUHF}who also happened to double as The Messiah {For his Jewish name as called /known by fellow Israelis was Yehoshua Messiac} there was in existence The Roman empire which ran all the way from The West to The East and then Rome in present Italy was the super power the equivalent of The US today.The people in Middle East were appointed governors and Kings from Rome to govern their societies and The Roman military was complex by the local standards reigning in the middle east and the other colonies at their hands. The Roman civilization/empire was equiped with able horses,chariots,swordsmen warmed to the teeth with better weapons including metal spears,bows and arrows. They enscripted their army from their colonies the world over and this included even Africans who by then {I stand to be corrected: were called Ethiops} and its on record that they put on gold.The Israelis had weapons as well but not on such an empirical large scale and slings were the equivalent of air-to-surface missiles. There were no nuclear reactors nor other toxic WMD. If there was a war, the gallantry met in the open fields man to man, face to face. Thus was the rough frame work of the geographical-cultural context in The M.E. that defined the life and times of Jesus of Nazareth, The Messiah and The Christ {PBUHF}.The Romans had developed the habit of forcing the subjects of their colonies to worship/subjugate to a sculpture of the emperor in Rome in their places of worship/shrines/temples/tents/under trees/on mountains....etc.Interestingly The Israelis were exempted from this rule and were given the freedom to worship the god of their ancestors of age without mingling him with the gods of The gentiles {as the other peoples of the earth were referred to by the teachings of the scribes by then}. Thus was the antagonistic atmosphere defining/fueling factors of conflict of interest pitting The Scribes on 1 hand and Jesus The Messiah, The Christ{PBUHF}, on the other hand. The Scribes saw that Messiac had the following and command of the Jews who used to fill/throng the pews of their synagogues, by the thousands and thought selfishly to themselves that this Christ was infiltrating/eroding their power command and would or could soon come-up with an idea of an armed/militant rebellion against the Roman Super Power Empire and this could lead to a genocide/war crimes of The colonized Jews. This is the propaganda they fed to their fears/vested interests cause in real sense they were just protecting the powers they wielded over the Jews to prescribe to them a strict way of life that wasn't in tandem with the practical reality of changes on the ground as highlighted by The lifestyle of the free/liberated/democratic Romans and the other neighboring cultures of The Gentiles around their niche/world. The Scribes thus falsely tried to potray The Messiac as a suitable candidate to be harangued before The ICC of the times which would have been located in Rome. The powers of The Scribes were such that they used to ordain Prophets as well as Kings and it irked them to the core that a certain fellow from Nazareth by the name of Jesus , the son of a carpenter called Joseph and a woman called Mary was laying claim to the Throne of David and at the same time claiming lineage to The Good Lord up above. So they were always on the look out for The Messiac and Yehoshua was always on the watch-out for the Scribes. They were playing cat and mouse game for it wasn't going to be any easy for the council guards/ soldiers of the Scribes to lay an arm/ambush on this Messiac who was busy championing the aspirations of the populace who in turn were so drunk with his teachings/messages of the good news , the water of life that if someone/anybody drunk of , they wouldn't ever be thirsty again. Hence the scribes were maliciously trying to lay ground for a case/charge of treason as well as blasphemy against the son of Man/God,The Messiac{PBUHF}. Fortunately He was always in the safe company of thousands of the local Jews who just couldn't have enough of this good news message which promised them everlasting life. Put in mind that Mariam Magdalena was a wealthy prostitute cause she was in the service of the high and mighty of the society.The idea of God manifestation in to human form wasn't new with Jesus as we see the Romans had already perfected this as demonstrated by the sculpture of their Emperor.It was common sense in Greece who begun what The Romans were continuing and even of late Diego Amando Maradona has joined the fray/league of the gods by having his sculpture made, put in a shrine and having fans and curious enthusiasts pilgrimage to it. I just can't help loving Maradona. Indeed is it written in the scriptures that man has come face to face with god: We find Jacob somewhere in the old testament, alone at night probably on a journey somewhere when he embarks/comes-upon god all mighty and immediately, being late in the night when it's darkest and the stars are shinning the brightest the two men set on a wrestle , perhaps to measure each others strength but most probably as a security measure cause during those days there were no street lights,avenues nor any activity at night , people were generally sleeping. So they wrestle and wrestle pulling judo cuts this way and that way till after getting exhausted Jacob managed to chunk a grip o The Good Lord's up above's groin/thigh flesh and holds on pinchingly tight refusing to let go till The Good Lord up above begs and pleads with earthly Jacob to let HIM go lest the villagers wake up and find/see HIM since the cocks were almost crowing and soon it was going to be day light. Jacob refuses adamantly having sensed that this was most probably an alien/extraterrestrial super natural being, not an ordinary earthling mortal and so Jacob put a condition to get blessed by The Good Lord up above before setting HIM free. He ended-up being blessed with The Name Israel for The Good Lord up above said he would no longer be called Jacob but Israel and from thence did the 12 tribes of Israel spring along with The Conquering Lion of The House of Judae. Later, logistics.

RELIGION : Reading From The Script of Science

Hello there everybody once again it's the festive season to celebrate the birth of our Good Lord up above Jesus of Nazareth, The Christ { Peace Be Upon His Followers}.So I would like to urge those our lost brothers/sisters who frown 24/7/365 and wish they never were born to turn on their spirit of happiness, joy and love , to prepare to party till down, to paint the town red,to bring their good times and laughter too, to celebrate our party with us , the enlightened/saved ones by the "WORD" of the Lord, King of Kings/Peace{not pieces} and Lord of Lords.So we come to the realization that True Religion is all about meditating/inquiring reflexively about the pursuance/achievement of happiness and joy in celebrating the abundance of the beauty of the fruits of the diversity of life while being aware of our inherited physical,mental and spiritual consciousness of our diverse inherent needs, wants and concessions. This is why the greatest law that binds the human family together across space and time is LOVE as said in so many words across the spectrum of worship of The Ancestor in mimicking/aping and following in the footsteps of their traditional/ customary practices. In Christianity, Jesus of Nazareth , The Christ{PBUHF} summarizes this adage by saying that a human being being a citizen/member of the planet earth should " love their neighbors as they love themselves " which he elaborates by teaching/preaching that "one should not do unto their neighbors what they wouldn't like/want to be done unto themselves." Of course no body ever enjoyed a taste of their own medicine;this is why when the naught scribes, the Pharisees/Sadducees frog march a popular/famous harlot/prostitute/follower of the benefactor-ed pleasures of the world to Jesus of Nazareth, The Christ {PBUHF}, in a public square happy at heart that they were now going to finally pin down The Messiah, He looks at the gathered crowd ostentatiously in their thousands {for he was always followed and kept/had a crowd at hand} and replies to the then legislators/scribes saying "Let him/nobody who has committed such a sin/crime throw the 1st stone." Jesus of Nazareth, The Christ/Messiah/Reformer was mocking the supposedly "Men of The Cloth" and the crowd at large knowing pretty well for a fact that "not only is prostitution the oldest profession" anywhere where Man has lived but that nobody is perfect/holy and that nothing is new under the sun, and as such everybody has f****d a prostitute either at their places of residences or in brothels or under the stars of the skies in the darkest of nights when they shine the brightest say on some clear white sandy beach or even on a Halloween.Well the pin-drop silent crowd as well as the men of the cloth, "the presumably holier than thou" dare not raise a hand either to pick or throw a stone. That champion human rights prostitute/slut/harlot is called Maria Magdalena.Human right cause such women play a very important role in the society as safety valves that channels the necessary lusts of naturally grown sexually active men in to feasible /healthy productions. You see, women usually form the majority gender/sex in any population and world wide the statistics show a ratio of roughly 4:1 and as such should every sexually active grown man choose to marry only one woman then there would consequently be a surplus of 3 women for every 1man/1woman marriage arrangements. Thus did our ancestors derive up the convenient formula of marrying very many wives, as many as ones wealth would allow since the practitioners of such customs/ traditions paid a bride price/dowry for their wives, the wives who were in essence married to the whole community at large whose off-springs then consequently belonged the whole community as well.Those were the days when societies/communities had no "street families" precisely cause everybody ended-up belonging to everybody else. Thus the followers of Muhammad{Shariah Law} still practice polygamy while the followers of Jesus of Nazareth{The Respective Constitutions: guided by the concept of meditation/reflexive inquiry on the celebration of life},The Christ{PBUHF} only proclaim to practice monogamy,and the followers of Moses{Mosaic Law}. Thus we have lots of Christian folks who have/keep mistresses/harems and others who choose to marry extra wives under customary law which acknowledges polygamy.We have 1 interesting Hindu sect which practices what is termed "Sacred Prostitution" whereby we have the priests/high priests as well as devotees who have their SEXUAL URGES well catered for/ taken care of by these popular/famous sacred prostitutes.That is the reason I said the other day that leadership of The Catholic Church is a sleeping giant which is in denial and as such is vehemently opposing to acknowledge the irrefutable fact that sex is much a basic need just like food whose urge has to be satisfied or otherwise the presumptuously Celibate Leadership/Shepherd-ship rots/turns-out PERVERTED as has unmistakably been demonstrated time and again all over the world when pedophile/sex molestation/abuse cases formerly covered erupt against the catholic clergy. They have been busy preaching water and drinking the frothy waters of the throat at their opportune times. This has seen families as well as lives wrecked and torn apart. The Catholic clergy is strictly burying its head deep in the sand and doesn't want to acknowledge the fact that they are simply human beings with the same basic needs and wants like the rest of the flock and are not the "holier than thou" figures of imaginations they would like the flocks to perceive/believe. I would advice the catholic clergy to go the Milingo way; I am glad that as we share thoughts there is a reformist agenda in the catholic arena spear heading for change to do away with celibacy and allow the "fathers" to have their share of the "sexual healing" which if not observed renders the fathers perverts. In another instance, Jesus of Nazareth, The Christ{PBUHF} happened to have been invited to a wedding and as usual there was a crowd of thousands of people following him like the "pied-piper." Within no time of merry making did the frothy waters of the throat come to an end so his disciples came to plead the crowds case to him saying something like, "Good Lord, there is no more spirits nor beer nor wine and the crowds are still thirsty, yearning for more frothy waters of the throat to quench their unending thirst,why don't you perform a father Christmas abracadabra so as to avail more stuff for the party people,happy people who know they are happy and are making merry and clapping their hands?" So the Good Lord asks the disciples to fill the wine jars with water {during those days they had not yet invented barrels}then cover them lest the recipe/patent rights be exploited.Within no time at all in the blink of an eye to the amazement of the thirsty crowds the jars brim with more wine when the covers are lifted and so the party goes on/proceeds till the wee hours of the morning. Apparently neither were there suicide bombers nor Al-Qaeda/ Al-Shabaab insurgents so the people had their peace held, and ate their cake. Recently a Prince of The Saudi Arabia Monarch was caught pants down after shooting a fellow citizen whilst on a drunken stupor and the world must have been amazed that a prince in the holy land was taking heed of his natural desires and fulfilling his thirst.It comes as no surprise cause a human being anywhere is the same human being with the same needs, wants and concession.Certainly in Saudi Arabia, the presumably holy land they also smoke,chew,sniff,drink,sleep around but discreetly lest they raise the eye brows of their strict shepherds.But then the ugly thing is that they practice double standards cause I'm sure that should it have been a non-member of the royal family or a non-Muslim for that matter, hell would have broken loose. I also remember earlier on this year during the month of Ramadan,hundreds of Nigerian women on pilgrimage to Mecca, the holy city were sent packing for the unseemly awkward reason that they were not accompanied by their respective husbands or "any male relative" for that matter as prescribed by the holy shariah law. They never left the airport they were hounded to the next flight back to Lagos or Abuja as the case might be. Women in Islam are treated like lesser beings, what of being married in the bundles and being subjected to treatment akin to that of property owned and predisposed of as per the whims,becks and calls of their proprietors. Amazing, cause the women take it all hook,line and sinker.Later virtuals logistics.

RELIGION : Reading From The Script of Science.

Well here we go again. Now that we are seeing that religion is about worship of the way / lifestyle of the ancestors by commemorating, eulogizing, re-enacting,mimicking, aping,ritualizing,following,adoring,praising,glorifying,emulating, mystifying e.t.c. , I think it;s a high time we gave secularism a better thought, in terms at least of looking at the other side of the coin, for a moment. Well, in other words this ostensibly translates in to the observance of the customs, culture, roots and traditions of a people, a nation, a community, across space and time which means preceding the durations that the present nations under the auspices of The United Nations with their complex borders conceptualized under geopolitics had not yet evolved.Well, the amazing fact is that under the inevitable forces of globalization spinning / synchronizing the world under one roof, terms and conditions depicting the universal declaration of human rights that state the prescribed standards of human life as opposed to those conditions that would only construe a savage, beastly, primitive,retrogressive,lay and imposed lesser standards of being / existence... we, the people of the world are left with no choice other than to embrace change and reform with the times, with the enshrined ideal, even at a piece-meal pace like : vision 2030. That's why I hail the good forces of change, the wind of change blowing across the world everywhere, people fighting for the right to be free to decide and choose the way of life, the lifestyle that suits them best as cosmopolitan citizens of a free, liberated, redeemed, democratic world. Those communities that choose to stay in a myopic constant continuum of a way of life passed by time/thought are at risk of extinction/perishing to hell, just like that . On one end of the equation, we have minority communities/cultures that are usually enlisted as "others" at census time in their respective states and on the other hand, we have those relic cultures that except for their curatorial-aesthetic value they are impractical to life on the ground.I'll expound: You see, man is a believing social animal who needs a conducive, social,cultural and political environment to pursue and achieve the goals and missions that the benefactor of life partitioned Man with.Thus,Man has prerequisite needs, wants and concessions that define his humanity which if not realized the they turn in to the evil savages that is in turn manifested by the ills in the society.Man, the human being is a creation meant to CELEBRATE LIFE and as such be able to access and choose the abundance of the fruits of the pleasures there-in within life defined by the predisposed cultural and physical environment, both natural and artificial. So good, old Man, the Homo Sapient should majorly be preoccupied by constant meditation and reflexive inquiry to come up with more, better, practical and efficient ways of easing the life styles of Men as TRUE RELIGION. Everybody everywhere has enough problems already and it just doesn't help to load more burdens on some of the still lay flocks of masses. Follow the way of your ancestor, your culture and traditions but only to the extent that it does not override the common good of the community/ society.That is precisely because The custom, The tradition, The LAW is made for man and not the other way round where-by we have people being enslave and captivated by some crazy customs,traditions and ways of life.For example, some societies/ communities didn't practice circumcision in the recent past but they have been so forced by the prevailing environmental and physical circumstances to embrace this new custom, tradition, culture as a clinical health measure to ensure their prosperity/genealogy. Then there are those other societies/communities that used to lavish the cultural practice of wife inheritance when a woman is deceased; well now they can't cause the physical/cultural environment has dictated a new regulation that demands people watch-out their sexual lives carefully lest they succumb to premature death.It is for the same reason that Jesus of Nazareth, The Christ {Peace Be Upon His Followers} amended and passed into law the then controversial sabbath ADAGE that strictly demanded that the day should be observed as a HOLY day and hence no work should be carried-out whatsoever the circumstances even when it meant salvaging some life at risk of death.........you know how the story goes.It is indeed for the same reason that The Son of Man/God repudiated the scribes of the day when he simply retorted to the scribes{law makers/legislators akin to the Kathi courts} witty stage-managed interrogation/query on taxation to foreign occupying Roman forces of the land of the empire then that the populace should "give unto Ceasor what belongs to Ceaser. This in effect means that secularism, the constitutionalism is the way to go regarding Religion because the constitution prescribes a standard way of life as envisioned and desired by the people, the cosmopolitan constituents of the politics of their geographic-political contexts.Even for the believers/here-says of the largely Christian-Gregorian world emanating, conceptualized from a Mosaic Law understanding,the society is largely a mixture of individuals in their family units interacting with other individuals in/from their family units as the building blocks of the society in the very 1st place. Good old Man is made/procreated in the image of God and hence true religion/worship is defined 1st and foremost by the rules governing/regulating the public/private relationships because since god manifests HIMSELF in Man then by worshiping your fellow Man through allowing them the space and freedom to be ,as per the circumstantial cultural/physical factors depicting the environment then you inevitably end-up worshiping god, "the good lord above." That is why the greatest law quoted and cutting across time/space is LOVE.Freedom is only free as long as one abides by the rule of paying for this freedom by recognizing the inherent/imminent freedoms in fellow man as a medical-legal entity, born free to enjoy/celebrate the abundance of the fruits of life on planet earth.It is quiet enlightening to see that The Anglican Church has amended its laws/regulations to not only ordain gay/lesbian clerics but to also recognize and legitimize gay/lay marriages unlike the sleeping Catholic giant that mesmerizes in the fallacy of priest that try to abstain for life but are naturally unable cause god the benefactor of life endowed them with their passionate procreative organs knowing in advance that only beasts procreate seasonally when on heat as prescribed by their laws regulating their physiology as opposed to Man The Human Being who is not only encouraged to populate and fill the planet earth but to enjoy of this worldly fruit of pleasure between their legs whenever the inevitable craving calls.So 4 the 10 commandments only the 1st 3 regulate relationships between god and man but the rest majority 7 practically talks about the regulations between Man and fellow Man.Along the same parallels, so the STORY { mythologized} goes that whilst "THE DEVIL WAS STILL AN ANGEL" he/it was asked to subjugate to Man but he/it refused claiming that since man was created of mud/earth and him/it was created with light , it naturally followed that the worship should be the other way round and not vice/versa , cause he/it was albeit more special.Later virtual s, logistics.

RELIGION : Reading From The Script of Science.

Well, here I squeeze some time again. There is a big difference between what the current followers practice and what was taught / given as a way of life. In other words that means the religious institutions of today worship, praise and adore the personalities that handed them down the religion they follow of re-enacting / following in the footsteps of those personalities who invented those particular lifestyles / life ways mimicking and aping those personalities at the apex / center / spot light of their religions. So people will congregate on singled-out days to pay their particular shrines visits. It is called idolatry or idol worship just like people of today have their super models, stars , celebrities or just idols and they mimic them. Thus they make sculptures of stone / bronze / gold / silver , name it... They commemorate their life styles.Hence they follow the ways / paths of the ancestors. What I mean is the inventors of these religions were reformists, i.e. social / political reformist who came with the dos' and don't s of day to day life that differed from the generation to generation handed-down cultures by the earlier oldest ancestors. The reformists noted that societies and their cultures must change with the times and that we can not have a cyclic, constant way of life like we were like the rest of the animal kingdom that lives a repeated life cycle, millennium-in millennium-out with the same modes, ways and means of subsistence and self procreation. We must change with the times everywhere; we must change with change. We must move forward and stop backward retrogressive ways, behaviors,lifestyles that are imposed and oppressive and lay. We must instead follow the teachings of redemption, of liberalism, of democracy, of progress, of freedom, of based on a civilized, informed, universal culture naturally determined by the forces of globalization, i.e the social-physical context defined by the geopolitical environment. In other words what I am trying to say is that the reformists came with the idea of saving Mankind , albeit from his very own self; remember man is evil by nature and must be bridled at least by 'the religion of truth' that dwells on his spiritual nature and/or the government which focuses on his persona, his physical being.This translates to meditation/yoga or simply put, reflexive inquiry, don't you agree? This in effect means empowering the masses with reliable thought process and patterns , thinking capacity to make informed / exposed decisions and choices as regards the universal standard nature of Mankind in relation to needs , wants and concessions. This means transforming the masses in to a realm of physical, mental and spiritual consciousness for a liberal democratic approach to life . Hey, wait 1 minute..... I happen to have / have met lots of friends from across the religious spectrum including Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Jainism followers, Christians, and followers of other traditional / customary ways of life.My friends, the followers of Islam are an interesting lot as well as christian s. They correctly do it as a social thing something they were induced-in to right at/after birth and got conditioned-into as they grew and developed into responsible adults.They live a free liberal life smoking, drinking ,night-clubbing,chewing, sniffing, planting wild oats, and engaging in everything that would be considered untoward by their respective religions. Catholic priests are indeed allowed to have 1 or 2 or even 3 and 4 for the road depending on individual feelings while others shepherds just prefer to take wine, they come with style you know! I've got lots of Muslim friends from the coast of Mombasa who only pray only visit their shrines on Fridays cause they certainly have better interesting things / activities to do / engage in . They can afford to observe the Ramadan the 1st day but after that they eat secretly lest they be admonished by their shepherds. They certainly aren't willing and many are the times they have defended themselves by saying that even their relatives and friends from the land of Mohammad himself conveniently travel abroad / overseas during the " holy month of Ramadan till after-wards 4 fears of reprisals from their shepherds. Thus, the main theme/backbone/under-lying current of the christian church is based on the death and "miraculous" resurrection of the late middle east reformer Jesus of Nazareth, The Christ, an even which is re-enacted, eulogized, marked, ritualized at mass every Sundays.His birthday is also observed and other major events he did in his life time.It's about trying to put on the masses a false mask/aura of " holier-than-thou " attitude .Later, logistics.
