[Ugnet] The Death of Ivan Kyayonka
*Re:The Death of Ivan Kyayonka.* Dear friends, How do I express how devastated I am, at news of the death of one of our very own, Ivan Kyayonka. There are no words I can summon to express such depth of hurt and sorrow that will be with me for the rest of my life. The beauty of teaching is that some of the students become lifelong bosom friends. Kyayonka was not just my student at King’s College Budo. He was a kid brother to a very dear friend. So above all he was family!! It is a terrible blow to our country to lose an Executive Engineer of that caliber. We send our sorrow to his elder Brother, Hon Nelson Gagawala Wambuzi, and to the family. We send our sorrow to the Patriarchs and Matriarchs of our country i.e. – the family of Chief Justice Wambuzi, Mzee Mukyala Rhoda Kalema, Mzee Mukyala Mpanga, Mukulu Ssebana-Kizito, and Mukulu Mzee Lwanga of Shell Oil Uganda Limited, .., one is unable to list everybody and all who helped us to educate that generation of Ugandans !! Again on behalf of my country I want to send a message to Shell Oil Company for Eastern Africa and the whole Corporate Sector in general, Tullow etc… that the only fitting tribute to Engineer Kyayonka is to mount a Herculean effort to lift our School Mathematics Education to new heights. Last year’s report on Uganda School Maths says that every student in the country found “Vectors” very hard to ‘understand’. As a Senior teacher in our country I want to alert all of you parents, for you to ask: *How many Examiners in our Examinations Board understand what a vector is !!* I was a very Senior Teacher, and an Examiner too with UNEB. To Kyayonka and his friends I taught Vector Calculus and jazz like that ….. necessary for Electromagnetism you know !! And I thought I knew the meaning of “vector”. Don’t start me !! We already have talked about half baked last time!! For ever, Comrade Kyayonka will always remain Dear in our hearts!!

[Ugnet] We're fully behind removal of Rhodes statue from UCT - EFF
We're fully behind removal of Rhodes statue from UCT - EFF Mbuyiseni Quintin Ndlozi 17 March 2015 Fighters say they have constistently demanded the complete removal and demolition of apartheid symbols, including the ones next to parliament *The EFF is fully behind UCT students and academics' demand for Rhodes to fall* 17 March 2015 The Economic Freedom Fighters is fully behind the protests to remove the statue of White Supremacist, Coloniser and Murderer, Cecil John Rhodes from the University of Cape Town. Despite the many fake accolades Rhodes has been given, he remains a Murderer who championed the colonisation of Africa and racial segregation in a system which forced indigenous Africans to hard, low paying jobs in order to buttress the emerging capitalist system. Rhodes can never be a symbol worth celebrating in a post 1994 South Africa. The EFF is not opportunistically raising the issue of Rhodes due to the momentum of students' and Academics' demand to fall in UCT. The EFF has consistently called for the removal of symbols of Colonialism and white supremacy from the face of South Africa. On various occasions, the EFF has demanded the complete removal and demolition of apartheid symbols, including the ones next to the Parliament of South Africa. In his maiden speech as Member of Parliament, the Commander in Chief Julius Malema amongst other things said, The statue of Botha out outside this Parliament must go down, because it represents nothing of what a democratic South Africa stands for The South African Government and many public institutions continue to celebrate colonial Murderers and White Supremacists and this should come to a complete end. The protests in UCT should serve as an inspiration to all South Africans in all other parts of South Africa who are still living under shadows of colonial oppressors. They too must destroy them as symbols of white supremacy and as statues erected to celebrate racists and racism. Rhodes must fall and all racist colonial statues must also fall. *Statement issued by Economic Freedom Fighters, March 17 2015* ___ Ugandanet mailing list Ugandanet@kym.net http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/ugandanet UGANDANET is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ All Archives can be found at http://www.mail-archive.com/ugandanet@kym.net/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).

The three U of T grads behind the product say that if you burn the bulb for an average of three hours a day, it would last for 20 years. *By:* Curtis Rush http://www.thestar.com/authors.rush_curtis.html Sports reporter, Published on Fri Feb 01 2013 Photos View photos - [image: The NanoLight team of, left to right, Gimmy Chu, Tom Rodinger and Christian Yan. All three are U of T graduates.]zoom How many men does it take to design a new energy-efficient light bulb? Three. A team of self-described adventure-seeking Canadian “tree-huggers” have produced the NanoLight, which they call a breakthrough in LED lighting technology, touting it as the world’s most energy-efficient light bulb. Gimmy Chu, who got his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Toronto, is co-founder of the company. He has more than seven years of experience as a technology consultant. Along with fellow U of T grads Christian Yan and Tom Rodinger, he developed the bulb, using their science and engineering backgrounds. What is the NanoLight? It’s a light that uses only 12 watts of electricity yet generates over 1,600 Lumens, which is the equivalent output of a 100-watt incandescent bulb. Lumens measure the brightness of a bulb. “The reception has been phenomenal,” Chu told the Star from San Diego, where he is works at his fulltime job as a technology consultant. His two other partners are in China trying to set up an assembly line. The products are posted on the Kickstarter website http://kck.st/108JwZ7. The three partners became acquainted at the University of Toronto, where they worked on the university’s solar car team http://www.blueskysolar.utoronto.ca/. After going their separate ways, they reunited about three years go. “We wanted to take our knowledge and skills and create real-world products,” Chu said. The NanoLight, which is designed to operate under different countries’ standards, was launched Jan. 7. Since then, the team has gained about 2,500 backers and eclipsed its $20,000 funding goal by raising $125,000 so far. The Kickerstarter campaign concludes March 8, and the first batch of bulbs is scheduled to ship out in May. Soon, they hope to begin selling the 85-gram NanoLight through the website http://www.thenanolight.com/. They are reaching out to distributors and investors. They have two main lines of NanoLight, neither of which can be dimmed. A 10-watt bulb, which is the equivalent of a 75-watt incandescent bulb at a price of $30, including shipping. A 12-watt bulb, which is equivalent to a 100-watt incandescent bulb at a cost of $45. Chu likes the look of the NanoLight, but expects many consumers to be hesitant to warm up to its shape. The bulbs are made of printed circuit-board material folded into the shape of a light bulb. “It looks kind of funky,” Chu said. “But it’s hard to change the consumer’s mind on what a light bulb is supposed to look like. But this light bulb is a lot brighter and lasts longer.” The company said that if you burn the bulb for an average of three hours a day, the bulb would last 20 years. “Really the future the lighting industry is LEDs,” Chu said. “It’s a tough market. We’re just little guys.” Asked if a light bulb went off in their heads prior to their invention, Chu laughed and said no. The idea developed over time. However, while their bright idea comes to fruition, Chu will continue to work full-time for clients as a technology consultant. “I’ve still got to keep the lights on,” he quipped ___ Ugandanet mailing list Ugandanet@kym.net http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/ugandanet UGANDANET is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ All Archives can be found at http://www.mail-archive.com/ugandanet@kym.net/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).

[Ugnet] ICH: The True History of the Origins of Police --Protecting and Serving the Masters of Society
*Informationclearinghouse.info* *The True History of the Origins of Police -- Protecting and Serving the Masters of Society* The liberal way of viewing the problem rests on a misunderstanding of the origins of the police By Sam Mitriani In most of the liberal discussions of the recent police killings of unarmed black men, there is an underlying assumption that the police are supposed to protect and serve the population. That is, after all, what they were created to do. Maybe there are a few bad apples, but if only the police weren’t so racist, or didn’t carry out policies like stop-and-frisk, or weren’t so afraid of black people, or shot fewer unarmed men, they could function as a useful service that we all need. This liberal way of viewing the problem rests on a misunderstanding of the origins of the police and what they were created to do. The police were not created to protect and serve the population. They were not created to stop crime, at least not as most people understand it. And they were certainly not created to promote justice. They were created to protect the new form of wage-labor capitalism that emerged in the mid- to late-19th century from the threat posed by that system’s offspring, the working class. Before the 19th century, there were no police forces that we would recognize as such anywhere in the world. In the northern United States, there was a system of elected constables and sheriffs, much more responsible to the population in a very direct way than the police are today. In the South, the closest thing to a police force was the slave patrols. Then, as Northern cities grew and filled with mostly immigrant wage workers who were physically and socially separated from the ruling class, the wealthy elite who ran the various municipal governments hired hundreds and then thousands of armed men to impose order on the new working-class neighborhoods. Class conflict roiled late-19th century American cities like Chicago, which experienced major strikes and riots in 1867, 1877, 1886 and 1894. In each of these upheavals, the police attacked strikers with extreme violence. In the aftermath of these movements, the police increasingly presented themselves as a thin blue line protecting civilization, by which they meant bourgeois civilization, from the disorder of the working class. This ideology has been reproduced ever since — except that today, poor black and Latino people rather than immigrant workers are the main threat. Of course, the ruling class did not get everything it wanted. It had to yield on many points to the immigrant workers it sought to control — this is why, for instance, municipal governments backed away from trying to stop Sunday drinking and why they hired so many immigrant police officers, especially the Irish. But despite these concessions, businessmen organized themselves to make sure the police were increasingly isolated from democratic control. The police, meanwhile, increasingly set themselves off from the population by donning uniforms; establishing their own rules for hiring, promotion and firing; working to build a unique *esprit de corps;* and identifying themselves with order. And despite complaints about corruption and inefficiency, they gained more and more support from the ruling class, to the extent that in Chicago, for instance, businessmen donated money to buy the police rifles, artillery, Gatling guns and buildings and to establish a police pension out of their own pockets. There was a never a time when the big city police neutrally enforced “the law” — nor, for that matter, a time when the law itself was neutral. Throughout the 19th century in the North, the police mostly arrested people for the vaguely defined “crimes” of disorderly conduct and vagrancy, which meant that they could target anyone they saw as a threat to “order.” In the post-bellum South, they enforced white supremacy and largely arrested black people on trumped-up charges in order to feed them into convict labor systems. The violence the police carried out and their moral separation from those they patrolled were not the consequences of the brutality of individual officers, but of policies carefully designed to mold the police into a force that could use violence to deal with the social problems that accompanied the development of a wage-labor economy. For instance, in the short, sharp depression of the mid-1880s, Chicago was filled with prostitutes who worked the streets. Many policemen recognized that these prostitutes were generally impoverished women seeking a way to survive and initially tolerated their behavior. But the police hierarchy insisted that the patrolmen arrest these women, impose fines and drive them off the streets and into brothels, where they could be ignored by some members of the elite and controlled by others. Similarly, in 1885, when Chicago began to experience a wave of strikes, some policemen sympathized with strikers. But once the police hierarchy and the
Re: [Ugnet] Kigezi High School
Mukulu Dr Muniini, Please kindly accept Brotherly Greetings! When I looked at the list of the 40 best performing O.L. Schools missing was our beloved school, *Kigezi High School.* It is alarming that in all Kigezi it is only *Kitabi Minor Seminary* that appeared on the list. In our student days, if you remember, the heavy hitters, in at least, Mathematics, used to be 1) Kisubi, 2) Budo, 3) College School 4) *Kigezi High School* and 5) Uganda Technical College Kyambogo. I grew up, at St Mary's Kisubi thinking, wrongly as I sadly later found out, that Ntare was also a heavy hitter. This year on the list of the top forty Schools *Mount St Mary's Namagunga was tops!! * Namagunga is a gem. It is sad though that it is hidden right in the middle of nowhere in a jungle of sugar cane plantations. But it is no accident that Namagunga is tops, as *the Nuns who run it are Irish.* They bring the tradition of the best University in all the Queen Victorian era, *The University of Dublin.* In Victorian times forget Oxford or even Cambridge. The best three Universities in Mathematics were *St Petersburg Russia, University of Berlin and University of Dublin !* Newtonian Mathematics/Physics at Cambridge was limited to Classical Mechanics. It is that great Irishman, in * Dublin, **Sir William Rowan Hamilton (1805–1865)* who extended it to *The Lagrange-Hamilton Mechanics*, which extends to* Fluid Mechanics, and Quantum phenomena. * Other notables from the University of Dublin include Mathematical Statisticians *Sir Ronald Fisher, (1890 - 1962); and Englishman William Gosset ( 1876, 1937); of the Student's t-distribution. * Unfortunately Namagunga's Mathematical prowess has never been extended to A.L. This will never happen unless we change the *Makerere Maths degree from a three to a four-year one.* * But still I am very happy with the results!* ( I am alarmed there were very very few candidates for Chemistry - I am now really alarmed about Chemitry !!) Still we send our *Congratulations to our Minister of Education Hon Jessica Rose Alupo, Mukulu Matthew B. Bukenya of UNEB, all the teachers, parents and the students !!* *Dear Dr Muniini they are saying they have moved mountains to improve the Maths but still no discernible improvement!!* *That they have tried everything, and are asking: What else haven't we done? **What are we missing?* *It is beautiful, Dr Muniini that Canadian experience has given us a clue. **Makerere does not teach Foundations of Mathematics, * *I am always sad that I was a teacher at Budo, before studying **Foundations of Mathematics, i.e. questions like ' What is Number?'. **They are saying all Ugandan kids were made to draw/practice a lot of Geometry.* *What does that mean? -- to practice **drawing Geometry, --- no wonder the kids are bored !!* *Drawing in Geometry is used, among other things, to concretize or to code the Number System. i.e. the Field of Fractions --- beautiful stuff, Dr Muniini; heavenly !!* *So Ugandan teachers are half baked with their three-year Maths Degrees!

Weldon, who served as vice-chairman of the Armed Services Committee and the House Homeland Security Committee, told of his private trip to Tripoli in April 2011. image: http://www.wnd.com/files/2015/02/weldon.jpg [image: weldon] http://www.wnd.com/files/2015/02/weldon.jpg Curt Weldon “Was Gadhafi prepared to leave office?” Weldon asked rhetorically. “Absolutely, unequivocally, without any doubt in my mind, Gadhafi was ready to leave office. There were no other conditions except he wanted to leave Libya with what he called ‘dignity.’” Instead of negotiating Gadhafi’s removal, however, the U.S. decided to arm al-Qaida-affiliated Libyan militia in a NATO-backed “rebellion” to oust Gadhafi by military force. Some critics of Obama’s policy have charged the administration “switched sides in the war on terror,” as WND reported http://www.wnd.com/2015/01/generals-conclude-obama-backed-al-qaida/. Weldon’s accounts further confirm a WND report last month http://www.wnd.com/2015/01/admiral-u-s-could-have-ousted-gadhafi-peacefully/ detailing the efforts of retired U.S. Navy Rear Adm. Chuck Kubic to negotiate Gadhafi’s abdication with USAFRICOM. Also, Jeffrey Scott Shapiro and Kelly Riddell of the Washington Times reported http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jan/28/hillary-clinton-undercut-on-libya-war-by-pentagon-/print/ secret Pentagon tapes show top Pentagon officials were so distrustful of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s march to war with Libya in early 2011 that they opened their own diplomatic back-channel with Gadhafi’s son Saif Gadhafi to negotiate conditions under which Gadhafi would agree to step down voluntarily and avoid war. “No public official had met with Gadhafi more than I had,” Weldon said. He noted that during the presidency of George W. Bush, he led two bipartisan delegations to Libya to meet with Gadhafi after the leader indicated his willingness to drop his nuclear program http://www.armscontrol.org/factsheets/LibyaChronology and get rid of all weapons of mass destruction http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/Libya-Trip-Report.pdf as a result of meetings with Saif, including a private dinner in London in December 2003. Weldon said that in April 2011, Gadhafi’s son Saadi Gadhafi wrote him a letter inviting him to come back to Libya. Bashir Saleh, Gadhafi’s chief of staff, then called Weldon and said, “We really want you here because Gadhafi will listen to you, he trusts you and he know your intent in coming here will be to avoid a war,’ indicating that if I came over to Libya, Gadhafi would step down.” Weldon told WND he sent Bashir Saleh a draft of a letter and Bashir Saleh sent it back him, signed, with no changes, inviting Weldon to come to Libya. “So, now I had a letter of invitation from Gadhafi’s son Saadi and from Gadhafi’s chief of staff Bashir Saleh, with both letters inviting me to come to Libya,” Weldon continued.

[Ugnet] Malcolm X Was Right About America
*Malcolm X Was Right About AmericaBy Chris Hedges * February 02, 2015 ICH http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/ - Truthdig http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/malcolm_x_was_right_about_america_20150201 ** -NEW YORK—Malcolm X http://www.biography.com/people/malcolm-x-9396195#early-life, unlike Martin Luther King Jr., did not believe America had a conscience. For him there was no great tension between the lofty ideals of the nation—which he said were a sham—and the failure to deliver justice to blacks. He, perhaps better than King, understood the inner workings of empire. He had no hope that those who managed empire would ever get in touch with their better selves to build a country free of exploitation and injustice. He argued that from the arrival of the first slave ship to the appearance of our vast archipelago of prisons and our squalid, urban internal colonies where the poor are trapped and abused, the American empire was unrelentingly hostile to those Frantz Fanon http://www.iep.utm.edu/fanon/ called “the wretched of the earth.” This, Malcolm knew, would not change until the empire was destroyed. “It is impossible for capitalism to survive, primarily because the system of capitalism needs some blood to suck,” Malcolm said. “Capitalism used to be like an eagle, but now it’s more like a vulture. It used to be strong enough to go and suck anybody’s blood whether they were strong or not. But now it has become more cowardly, like the vulture, and it can only suck the blood of the helpless. As the nations of the world free themselves, then capitalism has less victims, less to suck, and it becomes weaker and weaker. It’s only a matter of time in my opinion before it will collapse completely.” King was able to achieve a legal victory through the civil rights movement, portrayed in the new film “Selma.” But he failed to bring about economic justice and thwart the rapacious appetite of the war machine that he was acutely aware was responsible for empire’s abuse of the oppressed at home and abroad. And 50 years after Malcolm X was assassinated http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_X in the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem by hit men from the Nation of Islam, it is clear that he, not King, was right. We are the nation Malcolm knew us to be. Human beings can be redeemed. Empires cannot. Our refusal to face the truth about empire, our refusal to defy the multitudinous crimes and atrocities of empire, has brought about the nightmare Malcolm predicted. And as the Digital Age and our post-literate society implant a terrifying historical amnesia, these crimes are erased as swiftly as they are committed. “Sometimes, I have dared to dream … that one day, history may even say that my voice—which disturbed the white man’s smugness, and his arrogance, and his complacency—that my voice helped to save America from a grave, possibly even fatal catastrophe,” Malcolm wrote. The integration of elites of color, including Barack Obama, into the upper echelons of institutional and political structures has done nothing to blunt the predatory nature of empire. Identity and gender politics—we are about to be sold a woman president in the form of Hillary Clinton—have fostered, as Malcolm understood, fraud and theft by Wall Street, the evisceration of our civil liberties, the misery of an underclass in which half of all public school children live in poverty, the expansion of our imperial wars and the deep and perhaps fatal exploitation of the ecosystem. And until we heed Malcolm X, until we grapple with the truth about the self-destruction that lies at the heart of empire, the victims, at home and abroad, will mount. Malcolm, like James Baldwin http://www.biography.com/people/james-baldwin-9196635#early-life, understood that only by facing the truth about who we are as members of an imperial power can people of color, along with whites, be liberated. This truth is bitter and painful. It requires an acknowledgment of our capacity for evil, injustice and exploitation, and it demands repentance. But we cling like giddy children to the lies we tell ourselves about ourselves. We refuse to grow up. And because of these lies, perpetrated across the cultural and political spectrum, liberation has not taken place. Empire devours us all. “We’re anti-evil, anti-oppression, anti-lynching,” Malcolm said. “You can’t be anti- those things unless you’re also anti- the oppressor and the lyncher. You can’t be anti-slavery and pro-slavemaster; you can’t be anti-crime and pro-criminal. In fact, Mr. Muhammad http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elijah_Muhammad teaches that if the present generation of whites would study their own race in the light of true history, they would be anti-white themselves.” Malcolm once said that, had he been a middle-class black who was encouraged to go to law school, rather than a poor child in a detention home who dropped out of school at 15, “I would today probably be among some city’s professional black bourgeoisie, sipping

The new king, who succeeded the late King Abdullah last week, also removed Intelligence Chief Prince Khaled bin Bandar from his post and appointed him as his advisor. He also sacked two of the late king's sons from big jobs. King Salman replaced Riyadh Governor Turki bin Abdullah with Faisal bin Bandar, and reinstated Khaled al-Faisal as Mecca governor less than two years after he was replaced by Mishaal bin Abdullah. The new king, however, kept in place Abdullah's other son Miteb as the Minister of the National Guard. King Salman also reshuffled a number of posts in the cabinet, while keeping unchanged the oil, foreign, finance, defense, interior, labor, transport and economy, and planning ministers. The 79-year-old king also eliminated a dozen councils and specialized committees while creating two main bodies for security and economy affairs. The former king died on January 23 at the age of 90 after weeks of being hospitalized with a lung infection. He had suffered frequent periods of ill health in recent years. The new monarch, who has suffered at least one stroke that has left him with limited movement on his left arm and is believed to be suffering from Alzheimer’s, is taking over at a time when King Abdullah’s demise is expected to fuel a power struggle within the ruling family. His succeeding to the throne also coincides with the kingdom’s grappling with dissent in the east and the region’s attempting to deal with the repercussions of the terrorism funded and the extremism exported by Riyadh. Riyadh has also turned into a butt of criticism for sending shockwaves throughout the international economy by allegedly fixing oil prices.

[Ugnet] Former Mandela aide’s Twitter rant sets off race row in South Africa
Former Mandela aide’s Twitter rant sets off race row in South AfricaZelda la Grange's outburst shows how South Africa’s racial divide remains, despite 20 years of post-apartheid politics. - Share on Facebook - - - [image: Reddit this!] http://www.reddit.com/submit [image: Zelda La Grange, right, one of the late Nelson Mandela's most trusted advisers, has been accused of sowing racial division.] ORYX MEDIA ARCHIVE/GALLO IMAGES / GALLO IMAGES/GETTY IMAGES FILE PHOTO Zelda La Grange, right, one of the late Nelson Mandela's most trusted advisers, has been accused of sowing racial division. *By:* Stephanie Findlay Special to the Star, Published on Wed Jan 21 2015 PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA—A former personal assistant to Nelson Mandela found herself thrust into the middle of South Africa’s enduring racial divide this week after ranting about the ruling ANC party. “Jacob Zuma made it clear whites are not welcome in SA,” tweeted Zelda la Grange about the country’s president. “I’m SICK of Jacob Zuma’s constant go at whites every few months,” she said (emphasis hers). “Why can’t we coexist without it having to be at the expense of one another?” The rant came from an unexpected source; La Grange has branded herself as a reformed Afrikaner, a living symbol of post-apartheid reconciliation between whites and blacks. Coming from a stereotypical middle-class Afrikaans family, La Grange said she grew up supporting segregation. “We were, I suppose, racists,” she wrote in her bestselling memoir, *Good Morning, Mr. Mandela*. She joined the president’s office as a typist in 1994 and quickly became one of Mandela’s most trusted advisers. After being appointed his secretary, La Grange changed her ways, championing Mandela’s dream of a rainbow nation. She would remain his faithful assistant until he died, earning the nickname the “Rottweiler” for her ferocious loyalty to South Africa’s first black president. Yet her outburst on Twitter and the following firestorm showed how South Africa’s racial divide remains, despite 20 years of post-apartheid politics. On Sunday, La Grange accused Zuma of creating an environment where whites were unwelcome after he said South Africa’s problems began when Jan van Riebeeck started a colony in Cape Town. She questioned why Zuma’s ruling ANC party was opposed to naming a street after Frederik Willem de Klerk, the last apartheid president who helped oversee the country’s transition from whites-only rule to democracy. (Earlier in the week, ANC national spokesperson Zizi Kodwa said, “all he — De Klerk — did, among other things, was to maintain apartheid.”) The response to La Grange was as rapid as it was diverse. Some Twitter users compared her to the Ku Klux Klan, while others contributed to the revealing hashtag #ZeldaDoesntEvenKnow, sharing racist experiences in present-day South Africa. “When you crossing road and the white folk lock their car doors as you walking past #ZeldaDoesntEvenKnow,” said @SiyaBeyile. Though La Grange apologized profusely in a 14-part tweet, the public flogging continued, culminating with an ANC politician describing her as a “spoiled white person.” “She preaches non-racialism to protect white people. Now she’s sowing racial division,” ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe said to the Beeld, an Afrikaans newspaper, on Monday. The debate about race comes as the country’s economy is faltering. The rand is plummeting in value and households are facing months of rolling blackouts after years of mismanagement at the country’s state-run power utility. Meanwhile, Zuma is embroiled in a series of corruption scandals. Still, La Grange went about her criticism the wrong way, said Pierre de Vos, a constitutional lawyer. “If you’re a white person and your tone is one of superiority and of victimhood, black people who still often experience racism and white people who know about it get really upset and say this is really unacceptable,” said De Vos, speaking from Cape Town. “There is a very strong feeling among South Africans that if you deny what happened in the past you’re denying people their humanity, and saying the history of marginalization and oppression doesn’t matter.” The limits of free speech are constantly being tested in South Africa, where the brutal legacy of apartheid is never far away. In 2011, then-ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema was found guilty http://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/mar/15/anc-julius-malema-guilty-hate-speech of hate speech for singing “Shoot the Boer,” an apartheid-era song that describes shooting Afrikaners. De Vos points out that La Grange won’t be facing any hate-speech charges. Still, he says, he hopes South Africa can have this conversation again from a less polarized point of view. “The kind of tone Zelda la Grange uses, I’m not sure it actually creates a space for reasoned discussion,” he said. “But I think it is important to have the debate. Especially because white people often do not want to talk about

He said he wanted African Union (AU) countries to produce a “specific plan of action” for tackling the Nigeria-based Islamist group collectively. “This has to end. We have to make this terror end,” he said. Boko Haram has seized control of many towns and villages in north-east Nigeria in a six-year insurgency. It has also begun threatening Nigeria’s neighbours and earlier this week launched a raid on a military base in northern Cameroon. Mahama said: “We must find a way to act together to share information, to synchronize our strategies, to pool our resources in order to rid the entire African continent of terrorism. “We cannot stand by silently, idly waiting for the international community to intervene on our behalf.” He said the crisis over Boko Haram was “increasingly getting to the point where probably a regional or a multinational force is coming into consideration.” Earlier, Cameroon said Chad was sending a large contingent of troops to help it fight incursions by Boko Haram. It came three days after Cameroon said it had killed 143 Boko Haram militants who had attacked one of its army bases at Kolofata near the Nigerian border. It was the first major attack on Cameroon since Boko Haram threatened the country’s leader in a video posted online earlier this month. Boko Haram used to be viewed as Nigeria’s problem—local militants spreading chaos in one corner of a big country. But that chaos is spreading fast. And with refugees now pouring into neighboring countries, Cameroon, Niger and Chad are promising to join forces to contain and crush Boko Haram. So far there’s been more talk than action. Obstacles include the usual political rivalries, funding, logistics, long borders, and the sharing of sensitive information between foreign armies. The African Union now has a chance to play a coordinating role; it’s done so successfully in places like Somalia. But ultimately Nigeria needs to solve this itself and its army is struggling. A French-led initiative called for Nigeria, Niger, Cameroon and Chad to contribute 700 troops each to a multinational force against Boko Haram, but no country has taken steps to implement the plan. Chad previously had some troops based in Baga, a Nigerian town seized by Boko Haram earlier this month, but they had been withdrawn before the attack. ___ Ugandanet mailing list Ugandanet@kym.net http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/ugandanet UGANDANET is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ All Archives can be found at http://www.mail-archive.com/ugandanet@kym.net/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).

[Ugnet] (South Africa) Maths, Physics results worse than 2013 – Umalusi
National http://citizen.co.za/category/news/news-national/ 30.12.2014 04.58 pm (South Africa) Maths, Physics results worse than 2013 – Umalusi http://citizen.co.za/300330/maths-physics-results-worse-2013-umalusi/ 978 Sapa The chairperson of Umalusi John Volmink speaks at a media briefing on Umalusi's approval of national exam results on 30 December 2014 in Pretoria. Picture: Christine Vermooten The 2014 matric results for mathematics, mathematics literacy and physical science were worse than in 2013, monitoring body Umalusi said on Tuesday. Mathematics had undergone major changes in content with the inclusion of Euclidean geometry and probability, Umalusi council chairman Prof John Volmink told reporters in Pretoria. He said the curriculum would prove a challenge to most pupils. “This was shown in the learner performance in that there is a significant increase in the failure rate compared with 2013,” he said. “However, learners at the top experienced the mathematics examination much easier.” In mathematics literacy pupils did “significantly worse” in 2014 than in any previous year. He said upward adjustments were made to the marks at all levels for mathematics literacy. Normal mathematics had no adjustment at the bottom end and a slight downward adjustment at the top end. Volmink said the results of all but 58 examination centres, where irregularities were found, would be released next week. In physical science, pupils performed worse than in 2013 and an upward adjustment was made at all levels. Life sciences was the “easiest in the group of subjects” taken and the marks were decreased. In business studies the performance was the worst compared to any other year and the marks were increased. In mathematics there were more failures, but also more distinctions. Volmink said the crux of the matter was how children were being taught. He said there had been no real improvement over the last five years. “To be quite frank, we thought the results would be much worse because large sections of the mathematics curriculum was not there last year.” He speculated there might have been more emphasis on teaching the subject, otherwise the results would have been worse. He said for the basic education department, 58 subjects were presented for standardisation. After moderation the raw marks for 35 subjects were accepted, 13 subjects had marks increased, and 10 decreased. Volmink said evidence of “group copying” was found in the 58 centres in Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal. -- *Read more: *Mass copying found in Matric exams http://citizen.co.za/300268/mass-copying-found-matric-exams/ -- “This is a new phenomenon… Umalusi is very concerned about this trend and takes the view that strong action be taken against those learners and supervisors who have made themselves guilty of these acts of dishonesty.” Following a probe, in KwaZulu-Natal 39 centres were implicated in cheating and 19 in the Eastern Cape. Volmink said the irregularities did not affect the integrity and credibility of the exams as a whole. KwaZulu-Natal had 1741 examination centres and the Eastern Cape had 924, so the irregularities occurred at two percent of the centres. When asked how the irregularities were discovered, Umalusi CEO Mafu Rakometsi said pupils provided the same answers. “These problems were detected at the marking centres… the students are providing the same answers, the same right answers, the same wrong answers. “It is clear that there is sharing of notes, it is clear that there is dictation.” Giving an example, he said whoever gave the dictation to pupils said “go ahead” and the pupils wrote “go ahead” on their answer sheets. He said if pupils wanted to cheat it was the duty of teachers, principals, and supervisors to stop them. The department had told Umalusi the investigation into these centres would be completed by the end of March and “drastic measures” would be taken to deal with the problem, Rakometsi said. Volmink said apart from these incidents the 2014 matric exams, although not perfect, were “fair and credible”. -- *Read more:* Matric exams ‘fair and credible’ http://citizen.co.za/300225/matric-exams-fair-credible/ -- Umalusi approved the release of the exam results from the basic education department, the Independent Examinations Board (IEB), the SA Comprehensive Assessment Institute, and the higher education department. Social Development Minister Bathabile Dlamini said on Tuesday her department had opened its gender-based violence “command centre” for counselling to IEB matriculants who would get their results on Wednesday. Dlamini appealed to parents to beware of signs of depression in their children so they could seek help for them. Public schools’ matric exam results will be released next Tuesday. ___ Ugandanet mailing list

But here it is, undefeated and proud, marching forward. Some call it the *“African Cuba”*, or it could also be named the *“African Vietnam”*, but the truth is that Eritrea is like no other country on Earth, and it is happy to remain as such, unique. *“We do not want to be categorized”*, I am told over and over again, and whenever I ask whether Eritrea is a socialist country. *“Look at Amílcar Cabral, from Guinea-Bissau”*, I am told by Elias Amare, one of the most accomplished writers and thinkers in Eritrea, who is also a Senior Fellow at the ‘Peace Building Center for The Horn of Africa’ (PCHA). *“Cabral always said: ‘Judge us on what we are doing on the ground’. The same can be applied to Eritrea.”* Most of the leaders of Eritrea, most of its thinkers, are either Marxists, or at least their hearts are very close to socialist ideals. But there is very little talk about socialism here, and there are almost no red banners. The Eritrean national flag is at the center of all that is happening, while independence, self-reliance, social justice and unity should be considered as basic pillars of the national ideology. [image: Incubator for prematurely born babies (Photo by Andre Vltchek)] Incubator for prematurely born babies (Photo by Andre Vltchek) According to Elias Amare: *“Eritrea registered success, substantial achievements, in what the United Nations defines as ‘Millennium Development Goals’, in particular ensuring free primary education for all; ensuring women’s emancipation and equality of women in all fields. In healthcare, it achieved a dramatic reduction in infant mortality, as well as the reduction of maternal mortality. In this regard, Eritrea is considered exemplary in Africa; few other countries have attained that much. So, despite all the obstacles that the country faces, the picture is positive.”* *“Eritrea continues on the national independent path. It has a progressive view in building national unity. Eritrea is a multi-ethnic, multi-religious society. It has nine ethnic groups, and two major religions: Christianity and Islam. The two religions co-exist harmoniously, and this is mainly due to the tolerant culture, that the society has built. There is no conflict or animosity between the ethnic groups or religious groups. The government and the people are keen to maintain this national unity.”* But is Eritrea really a socialist country? I want to know, I insist. *“Go find out for yourself,”* I hear repeatedly. I go. I am allowed to come and see. I am taken to the places that I want to comprehend. I make friends here; determined, educated and well-informed friends.

But after the six years that I have lived and worked in Africa, I quickly managed to realize that the opposite is true. In Eritrea I see great hope for the country itself and for the continent; I see education, hard work, meticulous planning for a better future, I see a new and sound development model.

What is historically clear and politically correct is that free men and women name themselves. Only slaves and dogs are named by their masters. That is why not long ago, there was Gold Coast, Northern Rhodesia, Southern Rhodesia, British Bechuanaland http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bechuanaland_Protectorate, Upper Volta and of course, South Africa. But now, free men and women named their countries, Ghana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Burkina Faso respectively. “South Africa” is the name that British imperialism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Empire and its colonial settlers gave to this African country http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_and_dependent_territories_in_Africa on the 20th September 1909. This colonial statute was called “An Act To Constitute The Union of South Africa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_South_Africa 1909.” It was implemented in 1910. What were the reasons for this Union of South Africa? Constitutional lawyers Gilbert Dold and C.P. Joubert have written, “Long before the Union was brought about, many recognised that the colour question in all its aspects had to be dealt with, not piecemeal by separate governments, but as one complex whole. The Cape had one native policy and Natal another entirely different, the Transvaal a third one, the Orange River Colony a fourth one. Different remedies were being applied to the same disease. Soon the gulf might be too wide to bridge. Apart from this, there was always the danger of a Black native rising. The white population if united under one government would be strong enough to deal with the danger of that kind, but under four governments not one of them, especially, Natal was safe from danger.” Historians Fowler and Smith have also given the reason why colonial settlers formed the Union of South Africa. They have recorded, “Peace in South Africa depended to a large extent on a sound relationship between the colonies and the native tribes…. (indigenous Africa majority). The Transvaal was concerned with the Bapedi and Swazis, Natal with the powerful Zulus and the Orange Free State http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-29.0,26.0spn=1.0,1.0q=-29.0,26.0%20%28Orange%20Free%20State%29t=h with the Basuto. The Cape Colony http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Colony was to deal with the warlike Xhosa tribes on its frontier. It was common knowledge to the governments concerned that when one tribe was involved in war, peace was also endangered in other parts of South Africa. Unified control of natives in South Africa through some form of federation would minimize the danger of costly Native wars and maintain peaceful conditions.” At the time of the formation of the Union of South Africa there were 349,837 settlers and five million Africans. Section 44 of the Union of South Africa Act 1909 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Africa_Act_1909 clearly stated that “The qualifications of a member of the House of Assembly shall be as follows: He must…be a British subject of European descent.” In 1913 through the Native Land Act http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natives_Land_Act%2C_1913 of that year, five million African people http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_people were allocated 7% of their own country. The remaining 93% was given to the 349,837 colonial settlers. Later through the Native Trust Land Act 1936, an additional 6% of land was allocated to the African people. The land dispossession of the African people has continued to the present. In 1996, the constitution of so-called “New South Africa” made it clear in Section 25(7) that Africans were not allowed to make any claims of land

President Kenyatta on December 20, 2014 reacted strongly to a statement by the US Government criticising the passage of the controversial security law which he signed on December 19, 2014. PHOTO | SALATON NJAU |] http://mobile.nation.co.ke/news/Uhuru-hits-back-at-the-US-over-criticism/-/1950946/2564210/-/format/xhtml/-/3sugkg/-/index.html ADVERTISEMENT President Uhuru Kenyatta on Saturday reacted strongly to a statement by the US Government criticising the passage of the controversial security law which he signed on Friday. The law becomes effective starting Monday when it is expected to be published. At the same time, Cord leader Raila Odinga said the Opposition would call for mass protests if the courts did not stop the new laws (see separate story). In a move that is likely to test the fragile relations between Nairobi and the Barack Obama administration, the President said that criticising the new law was a “clear indication that the US had decided to go with the view of the noisemakers rather than the Security (Amendment Act) itself”. “First, our law is better than the American Patriot and Homeland Security Acts that give rogue powers to security agencies. In the US, FBI and intelligence officers have a carte blanche in the fight against terrorism and biological warfare. But our law has provided checks by courts of law. What is more, Kenya has no Guantanamo Bay,” said Mr Kenyatta in a statement from State House. SECURITY LAWS CRITICISED A terse statement from the US State Department had on Friday criticised the controversial new security laws, saying they undermined human rights, democracy and Kenya’s international obligations. “We are disappointed, however, by the very limited time allowed for debate and consultation on the security Bill prior to its passage and enactment into law. We are also concerned about several provisions in the legislation, including those that appear to limit freedom of assembly and media, and access to asylum for refugees,” said the statement signed by Jen Psaki, the spokesperson for the US State Department. The statement also took issue with the recent deregistration of 525 non- governmental organisations for their suspected links to terrorism, and demanded answers from the Kenya Government on the criteria used to kick them out. The US added that whereas it supported Kenya’s efforts to fight terrorism, it expected the government to ensure that any measures to deal with the threat “live up to Kenya’s international commitments and its own constitution”. “Protecting Kenya’s constitution and upholding human rights, democracy, and international obligations are among the most effective ways to bolster security,” the statement said. UNDERSTAND LAWS FIRST But the statement from President Kenyatta, which was signed by State House official Munyori Buku, asked the US Government to take time and understand the laws before criticising the Kenya Government. “Our law doesn’t curtail the freedom of assembly and the State Department should read the law as passed, and not go by what its associates want them to believe,” said the statement. The statement also defended the government’s move to deregister hundreds of non- governmental organisations, saying the decision was final. “The statement questions a decision by a government department that deregistered rogue non- governmental organisations and put on notice those that flout the law. non- governmental organisations aren’t above the law and they must answer to the authorities. Isn’t it peculiar that a foreign government appears sympathetic to organisations that think the law is an irritating irrelevance?” The US stance appeared to capture the mood of the West towards the passing of the security laws in an acrimonious session characterised by fistfights, heckling and name-calling on Thursday. BROADER CONSULTATIONS Prior to the debate, nine Western envoys had called for broader consultations and consensus building before the Bill could be debated. In a joint statement issued in Nairobi, the envoys from the US, Britain, Canada, Sweden, France, Denmark, Netherlands and Australia called on MPs to take their time and carefully review the Bill and consult broadly to build consensus. They noted that protecting Kenya’s constitution and upholding civil liberties and democracy were the most effective ways of bolstering security. “It is important that the legislation, while strengthening security, respects human rights and international obligations,” they said. On the de-registration of non- governmental organisations, the US Government stated that a strong civil society was vital to democracy,

The Zambian parliament passed legislation that eliminates corporate income tax but increases the royalty rate on open pit mines to 20% from 6%. Toronto-based Barrick has warned for months that this legislation, which takes effect in January, would make Lumwana unsustainable. “The introduction of this royalty has left us with no choice but to initiate the process of suspending operations at Lumwana,” co-president Kelvin Dushnisky said in a statement.

The company noted that the mine supports about 4,000 direct jobs and bought almost US$400-million of goods and services from Zambian suppliers last year.

We will be embarking on land occupation struggles - EFF Economic Freedom Fighters 17 December 2014 Fighters say they will also lead radical and militant protests to the mines *Economic Freedom Fighters Peoples Declaration of the First National People's Assembly* 13 - 16 December 2014 We the delegates of the National People's Assembly, gathered at the University of the Free State, Mangaung, representing more than 500 000 members of this vanguard of the Economic Emancipation Movement from all the provinces of South Africa in towns and townships, informal settlements and rural areas, workplaces and campuses, come together under the theme of People's Power for Economic Freedom. We meet at the University of the Free State whose accommodation of the EFF First Peoples Assembly represents a strong statement of institutional autonomy and academic freedom which are everywhere being undermined. We gather in Mangaung, the centre of the country and a home of the Economic Emancipation Movement. We gather in the name of the interests of the people who are the dejected and neglected masses, the unemployed youth and adults, the security guards and domestic workers, the petrol attendants, farmworkers, mineworkers, civil servants and professionals of all kind to unify them across classes, races and geographic spread for people's power for economic freedom. We proclaim that out of relative obscurity, we as this generation have discovered our mission and will do everything in our power to attain our mission. We affirm our historic mission which is the attainment of economic freedom in our lifetime which we shall fulfil by any means necessary. This historic mission is anchored by the seven none-negotiable pillars which express our socialist revolutionary vision in the immediate, expressed in our primary program, the EFF Founding Manifesto; Expropriation of South Africa's land without compensation for equal redistribution in use. Nationalization of mines, banks, and other strategic sectors of the economy, without compensation. Building state and government capacity, which will lead to the abolishment of tenders. Free quality education, healthcare, houses, and sanitation. Massive protected industrial development to create millions of sustainable jobs, including the introduction of minimum wages in order to close the wage gap between the rich and the poor, close the apartheid wage gap and promote rapid career paths for Africans in the workplace. Massive development of the African economy and advocating for a move from reconciliation to justice in the entire continent. Open, accountable, corrupt-free government and society without fear of victimisation by state agencies. Millions of our people remain homeless and landless in the country of their own birth and majority of the land remains in the hands of beneficiaries of colonial apartheid land theft. We shall embark on land occupation struggles to end homelessness and landlessness amongst the poor, including fighting against all the evictions of farmworkers. We shall remain robust and militant in our revolutionary parliamentary strategy which is based on ensuring the radical transformation of the institution in the interest of the people. Parliament must become a parliament of the people and pass laws that shall lead to a just and truly equal society. The EFF shall ensure that parliament holds the executive accountable in terms of the usage of state resources and that every single cent is used to better the lives of all, particularly the poor. In line with the mission of attainting state power to further the agenda of economic freedom, the EFF will contest the local government elections with the view to win them as a step towards total takeover in 2019 general elections. Every municipality, every ward and very community shall be contested with credible candidates approved through robust consultations with the people. In the immediate, all outstanding EFF branches in all wards of South Africa must be launched, and EFF must exist everywhere; in farms, workplaces, campuses, villages, and all informal settlements. We as delegates commit to fight for the immediate criminalisation of base erosion, profit shifting and transfer pricing, because these are phenomena that are robing South Africa of massive potential wealth. In the immediate, the EFF shall lead radical and militant protests to Mines to demand that Mines should provide basic services in their surrounding communities. Added to protests to government institutions, the EFF should lead protests directly to huge corporations to demand specific concessions and programmes that will uplift the conditions of our people. We call for localisation and that all the goods and services consumed in South Africa should be locally produced. Retail stores must be compelled by law to procure their goods and services locally and government should be pushed to only buy locally produced goods and services. As acclaimed in

Tony Blair ‘breaks into sweat’ over alleged relationship with Murdoch’s wife Published time: December 19, 2014 15:45 Get short URL http://rt.com/uk/215999-blair-deng-murdoch-affair/ [image: Tony Blair.(Reuters / Mohamed Abd El Ghany)] Tony Blair.(Reuters / Mohamed Abd El Ghany) Tags Politics http://rt.com/tags/politics/, Scandal http://rt.com/tags/scandal/, Sex http://rt.com/tags/sex/, UK http://rt.com/tags/uk/ Tony Blair says he will “never” discuss the true nature of his relationship with Rupert Murdoch’s ex-wife, Wendi Deng. The media mogul filed for divorce in June 2013 amid speculation the former prime minister had been having an affair. Middle East envoy Blair became irked when questioned on the subject, banging *“his coffee cup so loudly into its saucer that it spills and everyone in the room jumps,”* according to an interviewer for The Economist. Godfather to one of the former couple’s daughters, Blair has always denied the sordid allegation. He told the magazine it is *“not something I will ever talk about— I haven’t and I won’t.”* When asked whether he found himself in a tangle over his friendship with Deng, the Economist reported that *“a large, dark pool of sweat has suddenly appeared under his armpit, spreading across an expensive blue shirt.”* Murdoch spoke publicly about the end of his third marriage for the first time in April. In an interview with Fortune magazine, he said he was *“shocked”* when he read Deng’s alleged diary entries about other men. [image: Rupert Murdoch, chairman and CEO of News Corporation, with ex-wife Wendi Deng.(Reuters / Lucy Nicholson)] Rupert Murdoch, chairman and CEO of News Corporation, with ex-wife Wendi Deng.(Reuters / Lucy Nicholson) Deng described her passion for Blair in a private note which was revealed by Vanity Fair in March. *“He has such a good body and he has really, really good legs… And he is slim, tall and [has] good skin. Pierc[ing] blue eyes which I love. Love his eyes. Also I love his power on the stage,”* wrote Deng. Murdoch filed for divorce a week after staff at his California ranch told him of their suspicions. *“I was in Australia. When I got back, I naturally asked the staff, and it opened up. That's the story. And then, you know, a week later I filed. As soon as I could find a lawyer,”* Murdoch said. Blair and the press magnate fell out soon after the divorce was filed. *“According to sources at NewsCorp, Mr Murdoch pressed the ‘mute’ button during a confrontational phone call, informed colleagues that he was getting ‘politicians’ answers’ to his questions, and has never spoken to Mr Blair since,”* The Economist said. If Blair was uncooperative when asked about his relationship with Deng, he was defiant when asked about Iraq. He denied responsibility for the instability and violence ravaging swathes of the Middle East, saying he would not concede *“until my dying day”* he was wrong to remove Saddam Hussein. *“What annoys people is my refusal to change my mind. I don’t shut up about it and I know that strikes some people as provocative,”* Blair said. ___ Ugandanet mailing list Ugandanet@kym.net http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/ugandanet UGANDANET is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ All Archives can be found at http://www.mail-archive.com/ugandanet@kym.net/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).

Wildberger questions the very basics on which contemporary mathematics
rests. He claims that the notion of infinite sets, functions, real numbers,
even angles in trigonometry are problematic concepts which can't be taken
for granted.
He follows a constructionist approach based on integers and rational
numbers. Instead of membership in sets and functions he speaks of types and
expressions. He is not prepared to accept infinite sets or 'functions' as
perfect completed entities - he would rather treat a mathematical object
only something that can be constructed.
In this view things like the Banach–Tarski paradox
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banach%E2%80%93Tarski_paradox are not
interesting or isolated mathematical facts without relevance to the

[Ugnet] The Importance Of The Cancellation Of South Stream
The Importance Of The Cancellation Of South Stream * By * *Alexander Mercouris* December 03, 2014 ICH http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/ - The Saker http://www.vineyardsaker.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/the-importance-of-cancellation-of-south.html - - The reaction to the cancellation of the Sound Stream project has been a wonder to behold and needs to be explained very carefully. In order to understand what has happened it is first necessary to go back to the way Russian-European relations were developing in the 1990s. Briefly, at that period, the assumption was that Russia would become the great supplier of energy and raw materials to Europe. This was the period of Europe's great “rush for gas” as the Europeans looked forward to unlimited and unending Russian supplies. It was the increase in the role of Russian gas in the European energy mix which made it possible for Europe to run down its coal industry and cut its carbon emissions and bully and lecture everyone else to do the same. However the Europeans did not envisage that Russia would just supply them with energy. Rather they always supposed this energy would be extracted for them in Russia by Western energy companies. This after all is the pattern in most of the developing world. The EU calls this “energy security” - a euphemism for the extraction of energy in other countries by its own companies under its own control. It never happened that way. Though the Russian oil industry was privatised it mostly remained in Russian hands. After Putin came to power in 2000 the trend towards privatisation in the oil industry was reversed. One of the major reasons for western anger at the arrest of Khodorkovsky and the closure of Yukos and the transfer of its assets to the state oil company Rosneft was precisely because is reversed this trend of privatisation in the oil industry. In the gas industry the process of privatisation never really got started. Gas export continued to be controlled by Gazprom, maintaining its position as a state owned monopoly gas exporter. Since Putin came to power Gazprom’s position as a state owned Russian monopoly has been made fully secure. Much of the anger that exists in the west towards Putin can be explained by European and western resentment at his refusal and that of the Russian government to the break up of Russia's energy monopolies and to the “opening up” (as it is euphemistically called) of the Russian energy industry to the advantage of western companies. Many of the allegations of corruption that are routinely made against Putin personally are intended to insinuate that he opposes the “opening up” of the Russian energy industry and the break up and privatisation of Gazprom and Rosneft because he has a personal stake in them (in the case of Gazprom, that he is actually its owner). If one examines in detail the specific allegations of corruption made against Putin (as I have done) this quickly becomes obvious. His agenda of forcing Russia to privatise and break up its energy monopolies has never gone away. This is why Gazprom, despite the vital and reliable service it provides to its European customers, comes in for so much criticism. When Europeans complain about Europe's energy dependence upon Russia, they express their resentment at having to buy gas from a single Russian state owned company (Gazprom) as opposed to their own western companies operating in Russia. This resentment exists simultaneously with a belief, very entrenched in Europe, that Russia is somehow dependent upon Europe as a customer for its gas and as a supplier of finance and technology. This combination of resentment and overconfidence is what lies behind the repeated European attempts to legislate in Europe on energy questions in a way that is intended to force Russia to “open up” its the energy industry there. The first attempt was the so-called Energy Charter, which Russia signed but ultimately refused to ratify. The latest attempt is the EU's so-called Third Energy Package. This is presented as a development of EU anti-competition and anti-monopoly law. In reality, as everyone knows, it is targeted at Gazprom, which is a monopoly, though obviously not a European one. This is the background to the conflict over South Stream. The EU authorities have insisted that South Stream must comply with the Third Energy Package even though the Third Energy Package came into existence only after the outline agreements for South Stream had been already reached. Compliance with the Third Energy Package would have meant that though Gazprom supplied the gas it could not own or control the pipeline through which gas was supplied. Were Gazprom to agree to this, it would acknowledge the EU’s authority over its operations. It would in that case undoubtedly face down the line more demands for more changes to its operating methods. Ultimately this would lead to demands for changes in the structure of the energy industry in Russia itself. What has
[Ugnet] Kenyatta Off ICC Hook
Kenyatta Off ICC Hook 3 hours ago 167 Viewed Kenneth Kazibwe http://chimpreports.com/author/kenneth-kazibwe/ Be the First to Comment http://chimpreports.com/kenyatta-off-icc-hook/#disqus_thread [image: President Uhuru Kenyatta] President Uhuru Kenyatta The International Criminal Court (ICC) has dropped charges of crimes against humanity slapped on Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta after prosecution said it did not have enough information to implicate the head of state, Chimp Corps report. ICC prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, said Kenya government refused to cooperate with investigators in providing necessary evidence against Uhuru’s active participation in the 2007 post-election violence that left thousands dead. “Contrary to the Government of Kenya’s public pronouncements that it has fully complied with its legal obligations in this case, the ruling has confirmed that in fact it has breached its treaty obligations under the Rome Statute by failing to cooperate with my investigation,” said Bensouda on Friday. Mr Kenyatta is charged, as an indirect co-perpetrator, with five counts of crimes against humanity consisting of murder, deportation or forcible transfer, rape, persecution and other inhumane acts allegedly committed during the post-election violence in Kenya in 2007-2008. Charges were confirmed on 23 January 2012, and the case was committed to trial before the Hague-based court. The news is likely to excite Kenyatta’s supporters back home and also confirm widely-held reports that indeed the ICC did not have any substantial information against the President. Kenyatta has maintained his innocence, saying ICC was in possession of fabricated evidence to bring down his presidency and plunge the nation into turmoil. Africa Union recently resolved that no sitting president should appear at ICC which they accused of serving western neo-colonial interests. But supporters of ICC contend that the absence of ICC would encourage African leaders to abuse human rights with impunity. *Kenya’s cooperation* On Wednesday, the Judges of Trial Chamber V (B) of the International Criminal Court (ICC) found that the Government of Kenya had failed to adequately cooperate with Bensouda’s investigations in the case against Kenyatta. The Chamber stated, “[it] finds that, cumulatively, the approach of the Kenyan Government […] falls short of the standard of good faith cooperation” and “that this failure has reached the threshold of non-compliance” required under the Rome Statute. In its ruling, the Chamber, therefore, found, “[…] that the Kenyan Government’s non-compliance has not only compromised the Prosecution’s ability to thoroughly investigate the charges, but has ultimately impinged upon the Chamber’s ability to fulfill its mandate under Article 64, and in particular, its truth-seeking function in accordance with Article 69 (3) of the Statute.” Bensouda said, “This is a significant finding,” adding, “The Judges have thus determined the status of the Kenyan Government’s cooperation in the case against Mr. Kenyatta.” In a frustrated tone, the prosecutor added: “I have persistently sought to secure the cooperation that my Office required from the Government of Kenya in this case in order to execute my mandate. Crucial documentary evidence regarding the 2007-2008 post-election violence, including concerning the conduct of the accused, can only be found in Kenya and is only accessible to the Prosecution through the assistance of the Government of Kenya. This crucial assistance was ultimately not provided, as confirmed by the recent decision of the Trial Chamber.” She added: “In addition to this failure on the part of the Government of Kenya, my Office has faced other severe challenges, which have hampered my ability to thoroughly investigate the 2007-2008 post-election violence, and ultimately, frustrated the investigations in this case.” Some of the challenges she faced include a “steady and relentless stream of false media reports about the Kenya cases; an unprecedented campaign on social media to expose the identity of protected witnesses in the Kenya cases; and concerted and wide-ranging efforts to harass, intimidate and threaten individuals who would wish to be witnesses.” Bensouda further revealed that the Government of Kenya’s failure to provide her office important records has had a severe adverse impact on this case. “It has deprived the victims of their right to know the full account of what transpired in 2007-2008. It has further undermined my ability to carry out a full investigation. And finally, it has prevented the Judges from carrying out their critical functions of assessing the evidence and determining the truth. Ultimately, the hurdles we have encountered in attempting to secure the cooperation required for this investigation have in large part, collectively and cumulatively, delayed and frustrated the course of justice for the victims in this case.”

[Ugnet] Fwd: CELEBRATING SOBUKWE'S 90TH BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY
Original Message- From: Dr. Motsoko Pheko drmotsokoph...@drmotsokopheko.com To: Sent: Thu, Dec 4, 2014 9:05 am Subject: CELEBRATING SOBUKWE'S 90TH BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY *CELEBRATING 90TH BIRTHDAY OF A PRINCIPLED PAN AFRICANIST LEADER * -Sobukwe Led The Road To Robben Island * DR.MOTSOKO PHEKO* *Mangaliso Robert Sobukwe (in the middle) visited in Robben Island Prison by the apartheid colonialist regime’s members of parliament. They had come to check if they could make him compromise the genuine liberation of the African people. After this visit, one of them told the apartheid parliament in Cape Town, “I asked Sobukwe, have you considered changing your ideology? He replied, ‘Not until the day of the resurrection.’” * This piece of writing is dedicated to Mangaliso Robert Sobukwe that shining star of the African liberation struggle of this country and the African continent. That brutally persecuted and severely tested leader who passed the revolutionary test with unparalleled distinction. This is a Pan Africanist that walked the political talk to the finish with astounding patriotism. This principled Pan Africanist leader was born on the 5th of December 1924. This 5th of December 2014 is Mangaliso Robert Sobukwe’s 90th Birthday anniversary. Great nations do not forget their heroes nor do they adopt a sectarian attitude towards them. This piece of writing is to remind of Sobukwe’s legacy and to pass it on to this generation and to generations of Africa to come. *Sobukwe, President of the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) dying in Kimberly where the apartheid regime had banished him and declared him a banned person to have no gathering with more than three persons without the regime’s permission. This was after his imprisonment on Robben Island where pieces of glass were often found in his food, according to his wife’s statement Mrs Zodwa Veronica Sobukwe before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). * Sobukwe’s liberation credentials speak for themselves. They do not need any explanation. This is the only leader in the entire history of the liberation struggle in South Africa who was imprisoned on Robben Island without even a mock trial. He was kept in solitary confinement and then banned and banished to Kimberly to die there. In Robben Island Prison, the apartheid colonialist regime ordered that he should be guarded by five guards with two fierce Alsatian dogs. Of him, the apartheid Minister of Justice Johannes Balthazar Vorster said, “If…Robert Sobukwe were released, we would have a fine [penalty] to pay in this country.” This Defier of the Undefiable, as he was affectionately called by revolutionaries of his day; exposed the “struggle” of fighting both “white domination” and “black domination” as a myth. The authors of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade sold black people like animals. They were not black. European countries through the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 grabbed the African Continent at gunpoint. They sliced it like a wedding cake and partitioned it among themselves, into “British Africa,” “French Africa,” “Portuguese Africa,” “Spanish Africa,” “German Africa;” leaving nothing for Africans until millions of Africans died for their freedom to regain Africa. Somalia, on the horn of Africa had the misfortune of becoming “Italian Somaliland,” “French Somaliland” and “British Somaliland.” These colonialists were not black. There has been no “black domination” in the world. It is therefore a grave political delusion for any African leader to claim to have fought an evil that never existed. Apartheid was itself a product of racism that came not from black people. It was not a product of “black domination.” It was a creation of “white domination” stemming from the superstition and unscientific theories of unschooled authors of the idolatry of “white supremacy.” Sobukwe is a leader who spoke the language of true African liberation. He never called a spade a big teaspoon. The land dispossessors of the African people recognised this fact. To stop him from achieving genuine liberation for his people, the apartheid regime made a special law to govern him. They called it *“Sobukwe clause.” *Much more is said and revealed in the book titled SOBUKWE LED THE ROAD TO ROBBEN ISLAND. Freedom is not free. The price of freedom is selfless service, suffering and sacrifice. Sobukwe was prepared to go to Robben Island Prison so that the people of this country that are robbed of their land and its riches could repossess them and control the economy of their country equitably. Indeed, “liberation” of a land dispossessed people without repossessing its wealth is a gigantic colonial fraud. *Mangaliso Robert Sobukwe a Pan Africanist revolutionary that the apartheid regime could not break and entice to compromise the genuine liberation of his people at any price. He was not for sale. He

[3]] [image: bHouthis/b hold their weapons as they gather in Haz, west of the Yemeni ...] [image: The Houthis have made a giant leap on the military level since Saleh ...]The Houthis *The Growth and Expansion of the Houthis* *What happens in Yemen in the nearing period and long term period really does and of importance - both locally and regionally**.* By *Malik Sekou Osei* Looking at Yemen can give a view of a complex Gordian knot of a geostrategic contradiction. As the present predicament in a place call Yemen has been all but ignored in the Western media and Yemen is noted for more than a series of ghetto candy stores of loose cigarettes and cheap ice cream of over loaded sugary artificial cupcakes and pies. At this time Yemen is ablaze within its internal contradictions of a struggle of hegemony and actual development. Nonetheless, with the bigger conflagrations getting more out of control in other parts of the world, the struggle of Yemen it seems to have been reduced in importance to the back page of mainstream media or the vulgar background discussions of the dysfunctional characters of Reality TV, for most of the last few months one of the most important political centers of the so-called Middle East, in terms of imperial geo-strategic interests. But what happens in Yemen in the short term and long term really has an effect that could lead to broader chaos and further instability, both locally and regionally. Yemen is the poorest country in the Middle East, Yemen has been beleaguered for decades by corrupt and feeble and frail governments, tribal internal strife, resource depletion, a depreciating security situation and sheer poverty. Yemeni the unnecessary poverty [image: Yemen poverty] [image: Yemen poverty] One of the things that has to be addressed in understanding the crisis that is brewing in Yemen is the growth of the Houthis and their political influence in Yemen. To see the larger political consequences of the grown of the Houthis in Yemen and the potential of the political character in Yemen, thus for the larger Middle East. For it would be impossible to understand Yemen without understanding the growth of the Houthis. In September two months ago, Houthi insurgents charging a wave of public restlessness, ran and overflowed into the capital city of Sanaa from the north, and succeeded in bringing the government to its knees in a matter of just under a week. In the eyes of many Yemenis, the Houthis are, at least for now, the leading political force and best hope for change in a country that truly needs it from top to bottom. They are also a substantial military force, having taken control of much of Yemen's security apparatus in the north and central parts of the country. What makes both these points remarkable is that the Houthis are members of the Zaidi branch of Shia Islam, a small minority in an otherwise Sunni majority country. A group called the Zaidis reigned over much of northern Yemen under a system of religious and secular rule known as an imamate for over a thousand years until revolution swept through the country back in 1962. Yemen's nationalist movement eventually led to the establishment of two separate countries: the Yemen Arab Republic or North Yemen and the People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen or South Yemen. In 1990, North and South Yemen united to become the present day Republic of Yemen. *The Marginalized* However, the Zaidis were to never recover the power and authority they once had previous to 1962, and have been both politically and economically marginalized by each successive government ever since—at least up until currently. And this is a very important point to remember in any examination about the Houthis. [image: Husayn Badr al-Din al-Houthi] Hussein Badral al al-Houthi Back in 2004, Hussein Badr al Din al-Houthi, a mutineer cleric from northern Yemen and head of the Zaidi clique there, started a revolt and insurrection against the government in Sanaa, insisting a greater autonomy in the north, as well as to protect Zaidi religious and cultural traditions thought to be an impingement by Sunnis. Houthi was killed by government troops just a few months later, but his followers adopted his name and carried on the struggle. Following a series of on again off again periods of bloody fighting, the Houthis agreed to a ceasefire with the government in 2010. However, not much changed for the Houthis in terms of perceived grievances perpetuated by the government, which brings us to the more recent events that resulted in the Houthis' rapid and astonishing rise to power.

*Deaf and Blind. What Frightened the USS Donald Cook In The Black Sea?http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article40222.htm http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article40222.htmBy Voltairenet *(Also http://rt.com/news/210935-norway-f16-mig31-interception/ Flight fright: Russian MiG-31 jet pulls midair maneuver on Norwegian F-16 (VIDEO)). This article was first published by Voltairenet in other languages in September 2014. November 14, 2014 ICH http://www.informationclearinghouse.info - The State Department acknowledged that the crew of the destroyer *USS Donald Cook* has been gravely demoralized ever since their vessel was flown over in the Black Sea by a Russian *Sukhoi-24* (*Su-24*) fighter jet which carried neither bombs nor missiles but only an electronic warfare device. * This video shows the USS Donald Cook sailing into the Black Sea to position itself near Russia’s territorial waters.* On 10 April 2014, the USS Donald Cook entered the waters of the Black Sea http://www.navy.mil/submit/display.asp?story_id=80584 and on 12 April a Russian *Su-24* tactical bomber flew over the vessel triggering an incident that, according to several media reports, completely demoralized its crew, so much so that the Pentagon issued a protest [1 http://www.voltairenet.org/article185860.html#nb1]. The *USS Donald Cook* (DDG-75) is a 4th generation guided missile destroyer whose key weapons are *Tomahawk* cruise missiles with a range of up to 2,500 kilometers, and capable of carrying nuclear explosives. This ship carries 56 *Tomahawk* missiles in standard mode, and 96 missiles in attack mode. The US destroyer is equipped with the most recent *Aegis Combat System*. It is an integrated naval weapons systems which can link together the missile defense systems of all vessels embedded within the same network, so as to ensure the detection, tracking and destruction of hundreds of targets at the same time. In addition, the *USS Donald Cook* is equipped with 4 large radars, whose power is comparable to that of several stations. For protection, it carries more than fifty anti-aircraft missiles of various types. Meanwhile, the Russian *Su-24* that buzzed the *USS Donald Cook* carried neither bombs nor missiles but only a basket mounted under the fuselage, which, according to the Russian newspaper *Rossiyskaya Gazeta* [2 http://www.voltairenet.org/article185860.html#nb2], contained a Russian electronic warfare device called *Khibiny*. As the Russian jet approached the US vessel, the electronic device disabled all radars, control circuits, systems, information transmission, etc. on board the US destroyer. In other words, the all-powerful * Aegis* system, now hooked up - or about to be - with the defense systems installed on NATO’s most modern ships was shut down, as turning off the TV set with the remote control. The Russian *Su-24* then simulated a missile attack against the *USS Donald Cook*, which was left literally deaf and blind. As if carrying out a training exercise, the Russian aircraft - unarmed - repeated the same maneuver 12 times before flying away. After that, the 4th generation destroyer immediately set sail towards a port in Romania. Since that incident, which the Atlanticist media have carefully covered up despite the widespread reactions sparked among defense industry experts, no US ship has ever approached Russian territorial waters again. According to some specialized media, 27 sailors from the * USS Donald Cook* requested to be relieved from active service. Vladimir Balybine - director of the research center on electronic warfare and the evaluation of so-called visibility reduction techniques attached to the Russian Air Force Academy - made the following comment: The more a radio-electronic system is complex, the easier it is to disable it through the use of electronic warfare. * A video presentation of the US Aegis system.

He says far from offering help, the West is actually exploiting “conflicts in the Middle East” and only cares about the region’s riches. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has urged Islamic countries to unite in order to solve “*the biggest humanitarian and political crisis in their history*,” according to AFP, citing the Turkish president’s speech in Istanbul on Thursday. “*The only condition to overcome the crisis in the Islamic world is unity, solidarity and alliance*,” he said. “*Believe me, we can resolve every problem as long as we are united*.” Erdogan says there is no use counting on help from the Western world. “*I speak openly, foreigners love oil, gold, diamonds, and the cheap labor force of the Islamic world*,” he said. “*They like the conflicts, fights and quarrels of the Middle East. Believe me, they don’t like us*.” “*They look like friends, but they want us dead, they like seeing our children die,*” the president went on. Turkey has recently had its relations with the US strained over the Washington-led military operation against the Islamic State extremist group. The US has been pushing for Turkey’s more active participation in the conflict, which Ankara has largely resisted, in its turn demanding support from Washington in bringing down Syria’s president Assad.

[Ugnet] This is new, to me
*To some this is old news, to me and others, it is new !!*EXCLUSIVE: Gen Sejusa Resistance Coalition Movement Crumbles Jul 22, 2014 44 Viewed admin http://chimpreports.com/author/admin/ Be the First to Comment http://chimpreports.com/25476-exclusive-gen-sejusa-resistance-coalition-movement-crumbles/#disqus_thread [image: sejusa_159699194] A few weeks after stepping in London last year, Sejusa formed what was known as Free Uganda (FU). The group would later hold talks with Citizens for the Defence of the Constitution (CDC) boss, Col John Ogole thus leading to the birth of Freedom and Unity Front on October 9, 2013. The founders hoped the new organisation would “enable Ugandans involved in the liberation struggle to transcend tribe, cynicisms and all the old tendencies which caused disunity among the people of Uganda.” However*, Chimpreports* now understands the coalition force has broken up due to “high levels of mistrust, suspicion and tribalism.” Gen Sejusa said in a statement on Tuesday that while “a lot has been achieved in terms of progress of the struggle in general terms” under the coalition arrangement, “there have been a number of challenges which have become increasingly difficult to surmount under the current FU / CDC unity arrangement.” Sejusa cited the death of Lt. Col John Ogole this year. “There was never any integration of the operational structures of FU and CDC as such. Hence the operations have been more or less cooperative than unitary. However, with the passing of Col Ogole, many things even those not necessarily operational have become unclear. This is beginning to be disruptive,” said Sejusa who was recently declared a deserter by the UPDF. The former Ugandan spymaster who participated in the NRA liberation war further pointed out that overtime, “there has cropped up some key ideological differences between the Unity parties, for example, the question of how to relate with other opposition groups. Should we be part of the larger liberation effort or pursue an exclusionist agenda where everything must rotate around FUF. To what end would this be?” He added: “How do we treat and ultimately relate with those people who keep abandoning the regime progressively and even others who may still be stuck in the NRM and UPDF but who serve the resistance in other forms? Even on the important question of who is the enemy in Uganda? For instance, is UPDF as an institution the enemy etc? Because for Free Uganda, the question of defining the enemy correctly is of huge ideological significance and should not be glossed over.” *Analysis* While Sejusa intends to portray his rift with opposition forces in Diaspora as hinged on ideological differences, well placed sources say majority of Museveni’s enemies did not trust him as a sincere agent of change. This was mainly because of his past strong relationship with Museveni. “Sejusa fought with Museveni in several wars until they captured Kampala. Their families have been close for decades. When they disagreed Sejusa later apologised to Museveni and returned to army ranks. Such a man who does not live by his word cannot be trusted by opposition forces in Diaspora,” said a source who preferred anonymity so as to speak freely. According to Eric Kashambuzi, an extremist opposition politician in Diaspora, “FUF was set up by Sejusa to help him convert from military to civilian life; but he soon realized he could not convert. He abandoned it and formed a coalition of military organs because fighting and torturing people is all he knows.” Kashambuzi says Sejusa must first understand what opposition forces “have been doing in the Diaspora where we reside and between us and Ugandans at home. We have called on Uganda security forces; the youth; gender; spiritual leaders; civil society organizations to join with us. What Sejusa is doing is just repeating what we have started and he wants to claim credit.” *Character traits* This website also understands that during meetings with opposition figures in London, Sejusa exuded arrogance and regularly despised his colleagues especially those without military background. “Sejusa should join with us instead of trying to lead. Sejusa is a novice in the Diaspora and can’t lead experts. We have demonstrated; we have written; we have used the radio to reach Ugandans at home and abroad. Sejusa has nothing new to contribute. His FUF got off to a bad start when a Ugandan woman was thrown out of the meeting launching FUF. The manifesto had no strategy of what it would do after capturing power by force,” added Kashambuzi. Recently, renegade UPDF Colonel, Samson Mande, slammed Sejusa for being a hypocrite and working towards the fragmentation of the opposition structure. “Besigye won in 2006. Why doesn’t his best man Sejusa join him to recover his victory like Mugisha Muntu did?” wondered Mande, who is also in exile in Sweden after his rebel group, People’s Redemption Army (PRA),

The 77-year-old pontiff was asked during his interview with local Il Messaggero newspaper about a blog in the Economist magazine by a journalist who said the Pope sounded a lot like a Leninist because he often criticized capitalism and called for reform of the global economic system. “*I can only say that the communists have stolen our flag. The flag of the poor is Christian. Poverty is at the center of the Gospel,”* said the Pope. He was referring to passages in the Bible which state the need to help the poor. Pope Francis has often called for people to share their wealth with the poor. *“Communists say that all this is communism. Sure, twenty centuries later. So when they speak, one can say to them: ‘but then you are Christian,'*” he said laughing. The Pope also said that global politics is mired in corruption and bribery, adding that there is a deficiency in social work in society. In regards to religious doctrine, the Pope said that the gospel cannot be understood without understanding poverty, and to be poor before God means poverty of the spirit. Earlier this month, Pope Francis said that wealth from financial speculation and speculation on commodities was scandalous and compromised the poor’s access to food.

[Ugnet] Another banker? Citigroup director, advocate of ethical practices, dies in suspected suicide
Another banker? Citigroup director, advocate of ethical practices, dies in suspected suicide (16 bankers have died in mysterious circumstances) Published time: November 20, 2014 21:48 Edited time: November 21, 2014 10:52 Get short URL http://rt.com/usa/207463-citigroup-miller-death-suicide/ [image: Reuters/Mike Segar] A leading campaigner for ethical banking practices, Citigroup managing director Shawn D. Miller, was found dead in the bathtub of his New York City apartment, following what police suspect was a suicide in a year marked by suspicious banker deaths. Miller, 42, was the global head of environmental and social risk management at New York-based Citigroup, America’s fourth largest bank, and was a strong advocate of Wall Street engaging in “public consultation” with environmental and human rights groups. Police believe Miller killed himself, Detective Martin Speechley, an NYPD spokesman, told Bloomberg News Wednesday. However, the official cause of death will remain a mystery until the autopsy report is concluded. Miller *“was highly regarded at Citi and across the financial services industry as a leader and tireless advocate for environmental and sustainable business practices,”* top managers at Citigroup wrote in a letter to staff in his department, Bloomberg reported. *“He will be greatly missed by all who knew him,”* the letter said. Miller had a strong background in advocating corporate social responsibility throughout his career, first at the World Bank and then at Citigroup. After winning a US government-funded fellowship to study Bengali in Calcutta, India, Miller worked for the International Finance Corp, the investment arm of the World Bank, for nine years, advocating “public consultation” and better cooperation with environmental and human rights groups. At Citigroup from 2004, he was responsible for policies drawn up by the Equator Principles Association, a group of 80 lenders worldwide that called for banks to defend environmental and social conditions when financing projects, Bloomberg News reported. He co-authored standards for *“responsible risk decision-making,”* according to Citigroup’s website. Investigators believe Miller killed himself after going on a drug, methamphetamine and alcohol bender, according to the Daily News, which said that cops found controlled substances in the apartment. The banker was discovered by the building’s doorman on Tuesday afternoon, after his boyfriend was unable to get a hold of him. His body was found with a laceration to his neck, the NYPD said. He was pronounced dead by paramedics that arrived to the apartment. On the night of his death he was reportedly keeping company with a man he met on Backpage.com, a classifieds site that is also used for sex solicitation. Security video footage at his apartment complex shows that Miller had a confrontation in the elevator with an unidentified man late on Sunday night or early Monday morning. The Daily News said Miller called the doorman to ask the man not be let back into the building, and before his death, called 911 twice to complain about a ‘stalker’ outside the building. Miller’s death comes on the heels of a wave of suicides and mysterious deaths in the financial sector in Europe and the US in what some link to bankers’ high-pressure and high-risk lifestyles, and also to the widespread criticism of bankers’ role in the ongoing world financial crisis. Back in March, 28-year-old JP Morgan Chase investment banker,Kenneth Bellando’s body was found on a sidewalk after leaping to his death from his six-story Manhattan apartment building. Bellando was the twelfth person to commit suicide in the banking sector at the time of his death. READ MORE: Young banker's suicide becomes twelfth in financial world this year http://rt.com/usa/twelfth-banker-suicide-finicial-world-634/ In April, Jan Peter Schmittmann a former exec at ABN AMRO, a large Dutch-based bank committed suicide after killing his wife and daughter. That same month the head of Bank Frick, a Liechtenstein based bank, exec was shot dead in a parking lot by Jürgen Hermann. After the first batch of suicides early this year, Fortune Magazine wrote that banker suicides are not a new phenomenon. Clusters are known to occur whenever hardship strikes the industry, such as during the Great Depression or the Great Recession of a few years ago. In addition, sensationalistic reports of the deaths may lead to copycat fatalities. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), bankers appear to be more prone to suicide than any other profession, barring *“engineers and scientists.”* For the years 1999, 2003, 2004 and 2007, there were 329 suicides among workers in the finance sector, Fortune reported. ___ Ugandanet mailing list Ugandanet@kym.net http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/ugandanet UGANDANET is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ All Archives can be found

A senior Labour MP’s ill-judged reaction to UKIP’s win in Thursday’s Rochester and Strood by-election shows even a few hours can make or break a politician’s career. While most political analysts and commentators largely expected the incumbent MP Mark Reckless, who this autumn became the second Tory MP to defect to the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), to win, few would have thought it would be the Labour Party who would make Friday morning’s headlines. On Thursday, former Shadow Attorney General Emily Thornberry stole the show by tweeting a picture of a house in Strood covered in England flags, with a white van in the driveway. While Thornberry initially denied that she was making a comment about the residents in the constituency - white vans are a sneering *“working-class”* or *“chav”* stereotype to some in London’s chattering classes - reporters and politicians accused her of *“snobbishness.”* Despite Thursday night’s defeat, Thornberry’s resignation gave British Prime Minister David Cameron something to smile about. Speaking to BBC News on Friday, the Prime Minister said her tweet actually showed the true attitudes of the Labour Party toward working-class Britons. *“Let’s be clear: Emily Thornberry is one of Ed Miliband’s closest allies and aides, and effectively what this means is Ed Miliband’s Labour Party sneers at people who work hard, who are patriotic and who love their country. And I think that’s completely appalling,”* he said. That’s not to take away from UKIP’s victory or the establishment parties’ defeat, however. Reckless increased his majority by nearly 3,000 votes, despite the seat being fairly low on UKIP’s target list for the 2015 general election. Speaking to supporters and the press following his victory, Reckless said his win meant UKIP could *“win across the country.”* *“If you vote UKIP you get UKIP. We will give you back your country,”* he added. Despite the Conservative’s poor performance, senior members of the Cabinet have said they did not expect anyone to defect to the party before 2015, and that Reckless would find it difficult to hold onto his seat at the general election, where voter turnouts tend to be higher, and smaller parties are historically at a disadvantage. Voter turnout in the by-election was just over 50 percent, while at the 2010 general election, 64 percent of constituents came out to vote, the majority of whom supported the Conservative Party. In contrast, the Liberal Democrat party – who are part of the current coalition government – garnered a humiliating 349 votes, being beaten to 4th place by the Greens. The Lib Dems consequently lost their election deposit – a worrying pattern for the party, who are struggling to maintain its core supporters from going to Labour or the Greens. ___ Ugandanet mailing list Ugandanet@kym.net http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/ugandanet UGANDANET is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ All Archives can be found at http://www.mail-archive.com/ugandanet@kym.net/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).

If Warren becomes a threat, the Establishment will frame her with bogus charges and move her aside. Hillary as president would mean war with Russia. With neocon nazis such as Robert Kagan and Max Boot running her war policy and with Hillary’s comparison of Russia’s president Putin to Adolf Hitler, war would be a certainty. As Michel Chossudovsky and Noam Chomsky have written, the war would be nuclear. If Hillary is elected president, the financial gangsters and profiteering war criminals would complete their takeover of the country. It would be forever or until armageddon. To understand what we would be getting with Hillary, recall the Clinton presidency. The Clinton presidency was transformative in ways not generally recognized. Clinton destroyed the Democratic Party with “free trade” agreements, deregulated the financial system, launched Washington’s ongoing policy of “regime change” with illegal military attacks on Yugoslavia and Iraq, and his regime used deadly force without cause against American civilians and covered up the murders with fake investigations. These were four big changes that set the country on its downward spiral into a militarized police state with massive income and wealth inequality. One can understand why Republicans wanted the North American Free Trade Agreement, but it was Bill Clinton who signed it into law. “Free trade” agreements are devices used by US corporations to offshore their production of goods and services sold in American markets. By moving production abroad, labor cost savings increase corporate profits and share prices, bringing capital gains to shareholders and multi-million dollar performance bonuses to executives. The rewards to capital are large, but the rewards come at the expense of US manufacturing workers and the tax base of cities and states. When plants are closed and the work shipped overseas, middle class jobs disappear. Industrial and manufacturing unions are eviscerated, destroying the labor unions that financed the Democrats’ election campaigns. The countervailing power of labor against capital was lost, and Democrats had to turn to the same sources of funding as Republicans. The result is a one party state. The weakened tax base of cities and states has made it possible for Republicans to attack the public sector unions. Today the Democratic Party no longer exists as a political party financed by the union dues of ordinary people. Today both political parties represent the interests of the same powerful interest groups: the financial sector, the military/security complex, the Israel Lobby, the extractive industries, and agribusiness. Neither party represents voters. Thus, the people are loaded up with the costs of financial bailouts and wars, while the extractive industries and Monsanto destroy the environment and degrade the food supply. Elections no longer deal with real issues such as the loss of constitutional protections and a government accountable to law. Instead the parties compete on issues such as homosexual marriage and federal funding of abortion. Clinton’s repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act was the initiating move followed by the removal of more constraints that allowed the financial system to transform itself into a gambling casino where bets are covered by the public and the Federal Reserve. The full consequences of this remain to be seen. The Clinton regime’s attack on the Serbs was a war crime under international law, but it was the Yugoslavian president who tried to defend his country who was put on trial as a war criminal. When the Clinton regime murdered Randy Weaver’s family at Ruby Ridge and 76 people at Waco, subjecting the few survivors to a show trial, the regime’s crimes against humanity went unpunished. Thus did Clinton

John Jones, Saif Gaddafi’s lawyer, on the trial: “The ICC has ordered Saif Gaddafi to be delivered to The Hague and that was ordered two and a half years ago by the Trial Chamber and confirmed by the Appeals Chamber. The position under international law is that Libya has an obligation to deliver him to The Hague; obviously it hasn’t happened so far. The sad fact is that the ICC has made this order, it hasn’t been respected and there has been no follow-up by the Security Council.” Saif Gaddafi, a son of the former Libyan leader, is awaiting trial for the masterminding the murders and torture during the 2011 civil war in Libya. The hearing was postponed till November 16 after he failed to appear by video link from jail, which also triggered concerns about his safety, given that he is guarded by armed militia and is not being held in a government prison. Saif Gaddafi’s lawyers say that there has been no direct contact with him since June 2012 and he is still kept in Libya, though he should have been delivered to The Hague. *RT:* *While the ICC charged Saif Gaddafi along with his father in 2011, it still cannot compel the Libyan government to allow it access. Why is that? What does it say about the ICC's authority?* *Lawrence Freeman:* The whole effort by International Criminal Court is a complete fraud. The irony is that the very people, who created the ICC going back several years, coming out of British and American policy, are the same people who organized the overthrow and the assassination of President Gaddafi in 2011. We look at people like Tony Blair, Samantha Power, Susan Rice and others. So the idea that the Criminal Court is going to carry out any justice for the country, as they have the same sponsors of overthrow and destruction, I think, is a bit of a farce. John Jones, Saif Gaddafi’s lawyer, on the trial: “I hope Saif Gaddafi is alive. You can imagine his condition after three years being held in those conditions, his mental state is probably pretty bad. My position is that he can’t have a fair trial now anywhere, in Libya or in The Hague. The only thing that can happen to him is to be released.” *RT:* *The former rebel groups holding Saif have refused to hand him over to the central government in Tripoli. How does this reflect on the actual power of the central authorities?* *LF:* There is no power of the central authorities right now in Libya: the country is worsening by the day, by the week, by the month. This was predictable when the country was overthrown three years ago. Some foolish people thought somehow that it would be an improvement for Libya, and many people now think Libya is headed into a failed state. This is directly the fault and responsibility of the American leadership. President Obama, Susan Rice and the British leadership. They bear full responsibility for Libya heading into a failed state and there is no manner called “legal action” that is going to correct that. *RT:* *Why has it taken so long to bring this man to justice?* John Jones, Saif Gaddafi’s lawyer, on the trial: “Simply bearing the name Gaddafi is enough to condemn people in the eyes of the world, of the international community. It may well be that Saif Gaddafi is entirely innocent of the allegations against him.” *LF:* Right now Libya is not a nation, is not a country as its being destroyed day after day. Therefore, whatever actions are taken this is not going to solve Libyan difficulties, this will not bring justice to Libya. And the fact now is there are indications that you have the involvement of the Islamic State in Libya make the situation much worse. Of course this spills over into what is going on in Egypt and it spills over into what is going on in the Middle East with the policies of Obama contrary to the policies of the military are for the overthrow of Assad, President of Syria, which will spread war even further. So what we have between the Middle East and North Africa, we have the potential of spreading war and chaos that could lead to

The project to construct the country’s first bullet train faced opposition from local lawmakers. The China Railway Construction Corp. and CSR Corp. won the contract Monday, which set off steam amongst opposition politicians, who claimed the tender by the Chinese company, the sole bidder, lacked transparency and legitimacy. A new auction will be held and will include more bidders.

Now the Western elites are not happy with Budapest which they consider far too independent. The refusal of Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his ruling Fidesz party to join the new US and EU Cold War against Russia, which has seen the Hungarian parliament approving a law to build the South Stream gas pipeline without the approval of the European Union, in addition to the populist economic policies Fidesz has adopted against the largely foreign owned banks and energy companies, has been met with an angry response from Washington and Brussels. Hungarian officials have been banned from entering the US, while the European Commission has demanded that the Hungarians explain their decision to go ahead with South Stream. That’s on top of the European Commission launching legal action against the Hungarian government for its law restricting the rights of foreigners to buy agricultural land. The bullying of Hungary hasn’t made many headlines because it’s so-called *“democrats”* from the West who have been doing the bullying. Viktor Orban is not a communist, he is a nationally-minded conservative who was an anti-communist activist in the late 1980s, but the attacks on him and his government demonstrate that it doesn’t matter what label you go under - if you don’t do exactly what Uncle Sam and the Euro-elite tell you to do - your country will come under great pressure to conform. And all of course in the name of *“freedom”* and *“democracy.”* Fidesz has been upsetting some powerful people in the West ever since returning to power in 2010. The previous *“Socialist”*-led administration was hugely popular in the West because it did everything Washington and Brussels and the international banking set wanted. It imposed austerity on ordinary people, it privatized large sections of the economy, and it took out an unnecessary IMF loan. Ironically, the conservative-minded Fidesz party has proved to be much better socialists in power than the big-business and banker friendly *“Socialists”* they replaced. One of the first things that Fidesz and its coalition allies, the Christian Democratic People’s Party, (KDNP) did was to introduce an $855m bank tax - the highest such tax in Europe - a measure which had the financial elite foaming at the mouth. Orban clashed with the IMF too, with his government rejecting new loan terms in 2012, and paying off early a loan taken out by the previous government, to reduce interest payments. [image: Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban (Reuters / Bernadett Szabo)] Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban (Reuters / Bernadett Szabo) In 2013, Orban took on the foreign-owned energy giants with his government imposing cuts of over 20% on bills. Neoliberals expressed their outrage at such *“interventionist”*policies, but under Orban, the economy has improved. Although it’s true that many still look back nostalgically to the days of *“goulash communism”* in the 1970s and 80s when there were jobs for all and food on the table for everyone. Unemployment fell to 7.4 percent in the third-quarter of this year; it was around 11 percent when Fidesz took power, while real wages rose by 2.9 percent in the year up to July. The man his enemies called the *“Viktator,”* has shown that he will pursue whatever economic policies he believes are in his country’s national interest, regardless of the opinions of the western elite who want the Hungarian economy to be geared to their needs. His refusal to scrap his country’s bank tax is one example; the closer commercial links with Russia are another. Russia is Hungary’s third biggest trading partner and ties between the two countries have strengthened in the last couple of years, to the consternation of western Russophobes. In April, a deal was struck for Moscow to loan Hungary €10 billion to help upgrade its nuclear plant at Paks. Orban’s policy of improving trade and business links with Russia, while staying a

The notion of decentralization which was accorded prominence by the current NRM government in the 1980s, experts say, is slowly diverting from its foundations and achieving lesser of its intended goals. Makerere University’s Prof Yasin Olum warns that decentralization is being twisted by politicians to advance their personal goals. “One of the reasons we moved away from centralized government was to promote democratic governance and to eradicate dictatorship at the local level,” said Prof Olum at a public dialogue held on decentralization in the country at Makerere University on Thursday. “Sadly today, we are seeing a shift toward corporatization with the creation of such institutions as the KCCA,” he added. Corporate management of local governments, Olum warned would critically erode democracy and representative governance at the periphery. “Corporatization will cause democratically elected representatives of people to increasingly depend on bureaucrats and professionals like accountants and lawyers.” He further elucidated, “KCCA is an executive agency which concentrates on managerialism as the best way of delivering services to the people as opposed to the constructed local state called Kampala.” KCCA was established in March 2011, replacing the old Kampala City Council (KCC), with the hope of finding last solutions to the various city challenges including potholes, garbage and sewer management, population explosion and traffic jam. The Authority effectively placed management of Kampala district under direct supervision by central government, with its head (Executive Director) answerable to the cabinet Minister in charge of Kampala. The elected mayor was only left with ceremonial powers. Dr Olum warned that government was likely to be lured by KCCA’s recent registered successes to introduce similar Authorities to run other local governments such as municipalities. “We saw government plot to do away with councillors in Kampala, only to be blocked by MPs. At this rate government is busy taking back management of local government, and soon the whole essence of decentralization with be lost.” A few months after being established, a serious conflict erupted between KCCA’s political and administrative wings culminating into the ultimate disposition of the Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago. Officials at the Authority say business has been thriving there in his absense. ___ Ugandanet mailing list Ugandanet@kym.net http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/ugandanet UGANDANET is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ All Archives can be found at http://www.mail-archive.com/ugandanet@kym.net/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).

[Ugnet] Poor math literacy common among Canadian-born university grads
Poor math literacy common among Canadian-born university grads Survey finds that 23 per of these grads score poorly in math — and many of these people have graduated from teaching programs. [image: Math literacy] Math literacy Metro Creative Connection *Almost one-quarter of university graduates born in Canada have such limited math skills they score no more than 2 on a scale of 0 to 5 — and 16 per cent are just as poor at literacy, according to a new report from Statistics Canada.* OurWindsor.Ca By Louise Brown mailTo:lbr...@thestar.ca Some 23 per cent of university graduates born in Canada have such limited math skills they score no more than 2 on a scale of 0 to 5 — and 16 per cent are just as poor at literacy, according to a new report from Statistics Canada. Among the worst performers are graduates of teaching programs, of whom 29 per cent scored low on numeracy — a field where teachers’ abilities have drawn concern — followed by arts and humanities majors, said the report, released Tuesday. Science and math students did much better. The results came from an international survey of skills by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development called the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies http://www23.statcan.gc.ca/imdb/p2SV.pl?Function=getSurveySDDS=4406. The survey tested the ability of adults aged 25 to 65, with different levels of education, to understand and work with texts of different length and levels of difficulty, and to use math “to manage the demands of a range of situations in everyday life” — both skills many jobs require. Individuals at level 2 or below in numeracy are described as less likely to be able to perform and understand complex mathematical information and use problem-solving strategies. With literacy, individuals at level 2 or below are likely to be able to undertake only tasks of limited complexity such as locating single pieces of information in short sections of text. When foreign-born Canadian university graduates are included, the number with low numeracy rose to 35 per cent, and low literacy skills to 27 per cent. “In general we do very well, but we’d encourage post-secondary institutions to take a look at what they’re doing, and maybe integrate more literacy and numeracy and problem-solving into the curriculum,” said Daniel Munro, principal research associate for the Conference Board of Canada, which also released a study Tuesday noting literacy and problem-solving scores http://www.conferenceboard.ca/hcp/details/education/adult-literacy-rate-low-skills.aspx should be stronger for a country with such a highly educated population. “And we should also look back at what’s happening from kindergarten to Grade 12, because many universities say they’re doing the best with the students they get,” said Munro. “Recent OECD studies of 15-year-olds show our students have slipped a bit, and some universities say the ‘raw material’ they get is not as good as it used to be.” As Canadian universities open their doors wider to be more inclusive, they may be “drawing from a pool of students with lower foundational skills from the kindergarten to Grade 12 level,” added Munro. Someone with low literacy skills “is less likely to understand or respond appropriately to complex texts,” said Darcy Hango, author of the Stats Canada report, which analyzed responses from 27,000 Canadians. “The questions are real-world situations about coping with daily life and work … and sometimes (those with lower skills) can’t take that extra step to answer more complex questions.” Yet Ontario employers haven’t complained a lot about graduates’ literacy and numeracy skills,” said Josh Hjartarson, vice-president of policy and government relations for the Ontario Chamber of Commerce http://www.occ.ca/ontario-business-success/essential-skills-ontario-discusses-the-skills-gap/, which represents 60,000 employers across 160 communities. “However many have concerns about skills gaps, with not enough people who can, say, run mining equipment or enough people in northern Ontario who can run large infrastructure projects. “But we’re generally regarded as having among the best education systems in the world.” Among other factors the Stats Can study found; • The higher the parents’ education, the less likely the graduate to score poorly; • Canadian-born university graduates with poor skills were less likely to work as professionals or managers; • Nearly 27 per cent of female university grads born in Canada score poorly on numeracy, compared to about 17 per cent of males; • The oldest group of university grads — those 60 to 65 years old — scored the worst in skills; • Ontario university grads born in Canada performed relatively well; only 13 per cent had low scores in literacy (compared to 16 per cent across Canada) and 20 per cent had low scores in numeracy (compared to 23 per cent across Canada); “All universities in Ontario are concerned about levels of

New quantum mechanics theory says parallel universes exist, interact Published time: November 04, 2014 20:16 Get short URL http://rt.com/usa/202255-many-interacting-worlds-quantum-mechanics/ [image: Reuters/NRAO] Reuters/NRAO 7.6K845 Tags Australia http://rt.com/tags/australia/, Physics http://rt.com/tags/physics/, Science http://rt.com/tags/science/, Space http://rt.com/tags/space/, USA http://rt.com/tags/usa/ To the average person, quantum mechanics is the convoluted, science fiction-y branch of physics. A radical new theory plays into that, proposing that parallel universes exist and interact with each other ‒ and that scientists may be able to test for them. Prof. Howard Wiseman, a physicist at Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia, along with his collaborators Dr. Michael Hall, also of Griffith University, and University of California, Davis mathematician Dr. Dirk-Andre Deckert, published their new *many interacting worlds* (MIW) theory in the journal Physical Review X http://journals.aps.org/prx/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevX.4.041013#fulltext. They posited that other universes are real, exist in vast numbers and exert influence on each other. *“The idea of parallel universes in quantum mechanics has been around since 1957,”* Wiseman said in a statement. *“In the well-known ‘Many-Worlds Interpretation’, each universe branches into a bunch of new universes every time a quantum measurement is made. All possibilities are therefore realised – in some universes the dinosaur-killing asteroid missed Earth. In others, Australia was colonised by the Portuguese.”* [image: The Director of Griffith’s Centre for Quantum Dynamics, Professor Howard Wiseman (Griffith University)] The Director of Griffith’s Centre for Quantum Dynamics, Professor Howard Wiseman (Griffith University) *“But critics question the reality of these other universes, since they do not influence our universe at all,”* he added. *“On this score, our “Many Interacting Worlds” approach is completely different, as its name implies.”* There are three main points to the MIW theory, according to the Griffith statement.

Hall said the radical new theory may even create the extraordinary possibility of testing for the existence of other worlds. *“The beauty of our approach is that if there is just one world our theory reduces to Newtonian mechanics, while if there is a gigantic number of worlds it reproduces quantum mechanics,”* he said in the statement. *“In between it predicts something new that is neither Newton’s theory nor quantum theory. We also believe that, in providing a new mental picture of quantum effects, it will be useful in planning experiments to test and exploit quantum phenomena.”* American theoretical physicist Richard Feynman once noted: *“I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.”* And the MIW group admits that their theory is a bit out there. *Any explanation of quantum phenomena is going to be weird, and standard quantum mechanics does not really offer any explanation at all* ‒ *it just makes predictions for laboratory experiments,* Wiseman told the Huffington Post in an email. *Our new explanation... is that there are ordinary [non-quantum] parallel worlds which interact in a particular and subtle way.* [image: Professor Dirk-André Deckert (Photo from www.math.ucdavis.edu)] Professor Dirk-André Deckert (Photo from www.math.ucdavis.edu) Motherboard asked if the theory suggests that humans might someday be able to interact with other universes. *It's not part of our theory,* Wiseman replied. *But the idea of [human] interactions with other universes is no longer pure fantasy.* Others in the quantum mechanics field ranged from skepticism to excitement, Huffington Post reported, noting there is no consensus on whether *“many interacting worlds”* exist or interact. *There are some who are completely happy with their own interpretations of QM, and we are unlikely to change their minds,* Wiseman said in his email. *But I think there are many who are not happy with any of the current interpretations, and it is those who will probably be most interested in ours.

Re: [Ugnet] Cardinal Burke: Catholic Church Under Pope Francis Is 'A Ship Without A Rudder' Religion News Service | By Josephine McKenna
*American Cardinal Raymond Burke is in the vanguard for integrity in Klezia Nnyaffe, against what is, may be, a false Pope. **Cardinal Burke comes off as in the spirit of Rev Father Roy Bourgeois, the founder of the School of the Americas Watch (SOA Watch).* *Millions agree with Cardinal Burke as on .When the synod signaled a more welcoming tone to gay and lesbian Catholics, Burke publicly accused the global gathering of bias.* *Burke had previously said that Catholic families should not expose children to the “evil” of homosexuality by inviting a gay son home for Christmas with his partner.* *In his latest interview, Burke said the church was “the pillar of marriage” and challenged the pope’s revolutionary “Who am I to judge?” remark on gay people.* *“The acts must be judged; I do not think that the pope thinks differently. They are sinful and unnatural. It is impossible to find positive elements in an evil act.” * On Sun, Nov 2, 2014 at 1:33 PM, Herrn Edward Mulindwa mulin...@look.ca wrote: VATICAN CITY (RNS) American Cardinal Raymond Burke, the feisty former archbishop of St. Louis who has emerged as the face of the opposition to Pope Francis’ reformist agenda, likened the Roman Catholic Church to “a ship without a rudder” in a fresh attack on the pope’s leadership. In an interview with the Spanish Catholic weekly Vida Nueva, published Thursday (Oct. 30), Burke insisted he was not speaking out against the pope personally but raising concern about his leadership. “Many have expressed their concerns to me. At this very critical moment, there is a strong sense that the church is like a ship without a rudder,” Burke said. “Now, it is more important than ever to examine our faith, have a healthy spiritual leader and give powerful witness to the faith.” Burke is the current head of the Vatican’s highest court known as the Apostolic Signatura, but he said recently he is about to be demoted. There is speculation he will be made patron of the Order of Malta, a largely ceremonial post. “I have all the respect for the Petrine ministry and I do not want to seem like I am speaking out against the pope,” he said in the interview. “I would like to be a master of the faith, with all my weaknesses, telling a truth that many currently perceive.” “They are feeling a bit seasick because they feel the church’s ship has lost its way,” he added. Burke has expressed an uncompromising stance on keeping the ban on Communion for Catholics who divorce and remarry without an annulment, and is one of five conservative cardinals who aired their views in a new book, “Remaining in the Truth of Christ,” released on the eve of the bishops’ blockbuster synod in early October. When the synod signaled a more welcoming tone to gay and lesbian Catholics, Burke publicly accused the global gathering of bias and was among those who pushed for a less conciliatory approach in the final report. Burke had previously said that Catholic families should not expose children to the “evil” of homosexuality by inviting a gay son home for Christmas with his partner. In his latest interview, Burke said the church was “the pillar of marriage” and challenged the pope’s revolutionary “Who am I to judge?” remark on gay people. “The acts must be judged; I do not think that the pope thinks differently.

Many Ugandans are grateful for what Museveni, 65, has done for the country after overthrowing Milton Obote. But even those who admire the way he has ushered in democratic rule and overseen strong economic growth – and worry about who will follow him – think it is time he retired. The succession is very much on people's minds after the emergence of a letter asking the head of the internal security organisation, Uganda's counter-intelligence, to investigate allegations of an assassination plot against top officers perceived to oppose the president's plan to have his son, Brigadier Muhoozi Kainerugaba, succeed him. The letter was written by General David Sejusa http://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/OpEd/comment/Who-s-afraid-of-David-Sejusa--Everyone--it-seems-/-/434750/1856070/-/673lbu/-/index.html, who said he was one of those on the list. Sejusa is an old comrade-in-arms of Museveni, and considered a bit of a loose cannon. The letter was leaked to an independent newspaper, the Daily Monitor, where it was first published. The government was not amused, sending in police – ostensibly to look for the letter – before ordering the closure of the Monitor, two of its radio stations, and the Red Pepper, another daily, along with two of its sister publications. After more than a week, the papers remain closed http://www.monitor.co.ug/News/National/Monitor--Red-Pepper-premises-still-under-police-occupation/-/688334/1864064/-/vadaou/-/index.html, with armed police on the premises. Some observers are surprised Museveni took such heavy-handed action against the Monitor, which is owned by the Aga Khan, a big investor in Uganda. The letter was nothing new, everyone is aware that Museveni is grooming his son, an analyst told me last week in Kampala. Had he ignored this, it would have gone away. The Monitor has a circulation of 30,000 in a country with a population of 30m. Now, even the man in the street is asking, 'What is happening?' It means that the president is very sensitive as we draw near to the 2016 election. There are indications the president might stand again but, in case he doesn't, he might front his son. Sejusa, meanwhile, who happens to be in the UK, seems to be in no hurry to return home and has reportedly sought police protection http://www.aljazeera.com/news/africa/2013/05/20135277155910424.html. It's hard to say whether Sejusa's suspicions of an assassination plot are credible, but certainly Kainerugaba's rapid rise through the ranks to become a brigadier at only 39 has rankled many in the armed forces http://www.observer.ug/index.php?option=com_contentview=articleid=25449:muhoozi-presidential-bid-is-realcatid=37:guest-writersItemid=66, where it is common to remain a major or captain even after 20 years of service. Kainerugaba is also commander of the military's special forces, charged with protecting the president and vital installations around the country. The Sejusa letter clearly suggests a rift at the top, with Museveni, his wife and son, Uganda's trinity of power, versus those who oppose what is known as the Muhoozi project. Divisions aside, there is also corruption, grand and petty. Comments such as Corruption is in the bloodstream and The Nigerians have nothing on the Ugandans often cropped up in conversation.

[Ugnet] Botswana: One party dominance in decline
President Seretse Khama Making his brother vice president would presumably set him up for succession when Khama must, constitutionally, stand down in 2019. Khama - himself is the son of Botswana's founding President Seretse Khama His government's eviction of the Basarwa or Bushmen from the Central Kalahari Game Reserve has also been criticised as high-handed and even illegal. Botswana: One party dominance in decline Peter Fabricius 30 October 2014 Peter Fabricius notes that in last week's elections the BDP's share of the vote dropped below 50% for the first time since independence in 1966 *Good Khama, bad Khama?* *30 October 2014* It does not seem to have fully registered, at least outside Botswana, that President Ian Khama's ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP), which has been in power since independence in 1966, lost its majority of popular support last week. Yes, of course the BDP was re-elected in the 24 October legislative elections. And as a result, Khama was also indirectly re-elected last Sunday by the new Parliament, to a second term as the country's chief executive. But the BDP for the first time won less than 50% of the vote: 47% in fact, down from 52% in the last elections in 2009. It was only because Botswana still operates a rather outdated first-past-the-post constituency voting system that the BDP was able to win this election for certain and stay in power for another five years. The distortions of the winner-takes-all constituency system enabled it to translate 47% of the popular vote into 65% of the seats in Parliament; 37 seats out of 57 seats directly elected by the populace. After adding the five extra seats indirectly elected by the Parliament - four specially elected members of Parliament (MPs) and the president - the BDP's de facto support rose to over 67%, or 42 seats out of 62. The specially elected MPs are in theory neutral, but in practice have always, at least in essence, supported the BDP. As the results indicated, Khama and the BDP faced their biggest challenge in this election. Though they didn't quite form a totally united front, three opposition parties did join forces under the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), leaving just the Botswana Congress Party (BCP) out on its own. The UDC won 17 seats and the BCP just three. However the UDC won a more impressive 32% of the vote, the BCP 18%, whilst independent candidates got 3%. This meant, of course, that if Botswana had had a proportional representation voting system, like South Africa, the two opposition parties would together have commanded 50% of the seats in Parliament, more than the BDP's 47%. That could have left the independents as the kingmakers, depending, of course, on voting thresholds for the allocation of seats, and so on. The Botswana government enjoys a stellar reputation internationally and comes out near the top on rankings of African governance, including, most recently, the Mo Ibrahim 2014 Index of African Governance where it ranked third, just behind Mauritius and Cape Verde and above South Africa. Yet the election results suggest that the people of Botswana don't all quite share that global enthusiasm for their government. The main problem seems to be that the country's considerable wealth is not being spread around very widely. Botswana still earns most of its government revenue through its lucrative partnership - Debswana - with the South African diamond giant De Beers. That has helped to give the thinly populated country of just two million a higher per capita gross domestic product (GDP) - US$14 000 per annum in purchasing power parity terms - than its much larger neighbour, South Africa. But not enough of the money has trickled down to ordinary Batswana. The BDP government is, of course, aware that it cannot forever rely so heavily on diamonds - which directly account for about 85% of export revenue and around 35% of GDP. Botswana has, to its credit, largely escaped the resource curse that has ruined so many other African countries. It has managed its diamonds well, and Khama improved this performance by establishing a diamond-sorting and sales facility in Botswana to reap some of the secondary benefits from the gems also. Diamond revenue finances comparatively generous social welfare. But, as Brenthurst Director, Greg Mills, points out in his book *Why States Recover*, Botswana has so far failed to make the breakthrough to the next level of development by diversifying its economy. Not for want of trying. The government had made several direct interventions in the economy, some of which he himself was involved in - such as offering low-interest loans to would-be entrepreneurs. None of these have really helped and Mills concludes that Botswana might do better by focusing its attentions more broadly, on lowering taxes and generally creating a better business environment than that of neighbouring South Africa to attract investment.

Rising prices, balance of payments problems, widespread and repeated strikes are only a few of the symptoms of the general malaise. In the United States, the grave domestic situation is aggravated by the massive counter-attacks of the African-American revolutionaries. Almost everywhere, behind the smoke screens, the social and economic situation is unhealthy, and particularly in the second class capitalist states. And these mounting economic crises mean heavier dependence on the exploitation of the peoples of Africa, Asia and Latin America. Nkrumah, Handbook of Revolutionary Warfare What he said then in the mid-60s applies today also, but with the important critical difference of the time factor, the imperialism of today is weaker and more desperate. That is why across the world it is attacking humanity. That means more atrocities aimed at intimidating the people of the world and an ever increasing tempo of war making. It is a dying predator and scavenger system, which, while still dangerous, is ripe for defeat. All we need to do is unite our common efforts and act with revolutionary principles.

The litigation suit, launched at the high court in central London, marks the second Mau Mau case against the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) in recent years. In 2010, UK legal firm Leigh Day successfully sued the British government on behalf of Kenyans who rebelled against UK colonial rule in the 1950s. The UK government paid £19.9m to 5,228 Kenyans in 2013 who were reportedly tortured by Britain’s colonial administration during the revolt. The compensation was a watershed moment for the people of Kenya, signaling the British government’s first formal acknowledgement of serious mistreatment and abuse carried out during the UK colonial establishment’s tenuous withdrawal from the East African state. Commenting on the landmark 2013 payout, former Foreign Secretary William Hague told MPs the monetary settlement was *“full and final.”* But the Guardian reports a group of UK law firms are currently dealing with a new tide of claimants – and in certain cases sending their legal staff to Kenya. The latest case, firms suggest, is a collective litigation order involving in excess of 41,000 Kenyans. The high court is set to hear 25 separate test hearings according to official court documentation filed in May, the newspaper reported on Wednesday.

Claimants are also seeking compensation for alleged imprisonment on false grounds, as well as allegations of coercive labor and breaches of the fundamental right to education. The claimants’ lawyers told the Guardian that January 2016 has been earmarked as a preliminary date for the trial. A spokesperson for the FCO declined to comment on the litigation suit, emphasizing it is not the body’s policy to openly discuss *“a case that is going through the courts.”* The latest claims relate to alleged offences committed in 1952, when UK colonial governor, Sir Evelyn Baring, attempted to topple a growing anti-colonial insurgency dubbed Mau Mau. As the insurgency battled for an independent Kenyan state over the following eight years, approximately 90,000 Kenyans perished. ‘Inhumane and degrading treatment and torture’ Over 1 million were forced to leave their homes and enter detention facilities, which Kenya's then-attorney general Eric Griffith-Jones described as disturbingly *“reminiscent of conditions in Nazi Germany or communist Russia.”* While some of those detained were Mau Mau insurgents, many were innocent civilians trapped in an oppressive web of collective punishment.

Going ahead with the execution would be strategic miscalculation. Significant political developments have unfolded in Saudi Arabia in recent weeks following a court decision to execute Sheikh Nimr Baqir al-Nimr, a polarizing Shiite cleric and political activist who has campaigned for civil equality, an inclusive socio-political system, women’s rights, minority rights, and the release of political prisoners. Prosecutors condemned the cleric to death by beheading as punishment for charges of sedition, though the execution date has not yet been set. Sheikh Nimr has been the fiercest critic of the Kingdom’s absolute Sunni monarchy for the last decade, but gained a considerable public following after leading a series of protests in 2011 in opposition to the Saudi military’s violent intervention and suppression of the pro-democracy movement in neighboring Bahrain, a satellite state with a Shiite majority ruled by a heavy-handed Sunni dynasty. His sermons and political activism continually emphasized non-violent resistance. The Kingdom’s decision to sentence Nimr to death has complex implications that will push sectarian tensions to fever pitch inside Saudi Arabia and throughout the region, dangerously sharpening tension with Iran. Prominent clerics in Iran and Bahrain, as well as Shiite militant groups such as Hezbollah of Lebanon and the Houthi movement of Yemen, have all condemned the verdict and warned the Kingdom not to proceed with the execution. These developments are a symptom of the greater Sunni-Shiite sectarian conflict raging throughout Iraq, Syria and other hotspots across the region, representing the most poignant challenge facing the Muslim world in contemporary times. Western governments and corporations have aided and abetted Saudi Arabia and other wildly repressive theocratic monarchies, which have been given carte blanche to shape and spread radical Sunni Islam. The United States has long tolerated the House of Saud exporting fanatic sectarianism throughout the Islamic world in the interest of furthering its own strategic foreign policy objectives. Saudi Arabia, a key financier of jihadist groups fighting in Syria and Iraq, has used its vast oil wealth to promote the ideology of ultra-conservative Wahhabism in missionaries throughout the Muslim world over the past three decades. It has sought to promote a puritanical and rigidly exclusionist Islam that declares non-Muslims – and Muslims of minority sects – as infidels. The Kingdom is governed by a feudalistic, decadent monarchy bent on entrenching its own power and the uncontested legitimacy of the King as the de facto leader of Sunni Islam. The rise of the Islamic State organization is the result of reckless Western and Gulf policies that have destabilized both Iraq and Syria. Because this group and their fellow travelers do not recognize the legitimacy of the House of Saud, the Kingdom has constructed a massive fence around its borders, in addition to taking measures to prevent domestic sympathizers from becoming politically active inside the country. Saudi Arabia has recently agreed to an American request that the Kingdom provide a base to train so-called “moderate” Syrian rebel fighters, in the name of fighting extremism.

(AFP Photo) 2.4K399616 Tags Austerity http://rt.com/tags/austerity/, Europe http://rt.com/tags/europe/, Internet http://rt.com/tags/internet/, Protest http://rt.com/tags/protest/ Tens of thousands of protesters rallied in Hungary despite the government's amendment of a controversial internet tax bill. The demonstrators say the country is turning anti-democratic and drifting away from the EU. The protest against the policies of Prime Minister Viktor Orban reignited on Tuesday night, as an estimated 100,000 people took to the streets, reports Reuters. The demonstration follows similar action on the weekend, at which protesters demanded that legislation imposing a tax on internet traffic be withdrawn within 48 hours. Instead, the government introduced an amendment on Monday that caps the proposed tax at 700 forints ($3) per month for individuals and 5,000 forints ($21) for companies. This wasn’t enough for the protesters, who accuse the government of authoritarian trends. Since taking power in 2010, Orban's center-right government has imposed taxes on the banking, retail, energy and telecommunications sector. The measures are designed to keep the budget deficit in check, but have hurt some foreign investors' profits.

(Reuters/Laszlo Balogh) The PM's Fidesz party scored a landslide victory in this month's municipal elections, while left-wing parties performed poorly, failing to produce a joint candidate to spearhead their campaign. The people behind the protests, however, are evidently not among Orban's supporters, as they were demanding his ouster during the latest rally. The crowd organized by a Facebook-based social network, which appeared to be composed of well-heeled professionals, marched through central Budapest carrying slogans like *“How many times do you want to skin us?* *I am a student, my parents are not well off, neither am I, so I work hard,* Ildiko Pirk, a 22-year-old studying nursing, told Reuters. *I doubt the internet companies will build this tax into their prices. And I have a computer, a smartphone, as does my mother and my four siblings... That adds up.* She said the internet was vital for her to read unbiased news not under the control of Hungary's ruling political elite. The rallying cry that taxing the internet taz was anti-democratic was strong among many protesters. The Hungarian government denies accusations of authoritarianism. It insists the new tax compensates for the loss of taxes in other sectors of
[Ugnet] Will Seif al Islam Lead the Expulsion of the ISIS Affiliate, Al Fajr Libya?
*Will Seif al Islam Lead the Expulsion of the ISIS Affiliate, Al Fajr Libya?* by FRANKLIN LAMB *With the Abu Baker al-Siddiq Brigade, Zintan, Libya* A second interview by this observer with Seif al Islam Gadhafi, formerly the heir apparent to his father Moammar, was sought and finally arranged as a follow up to an earlier one focusing of my interest in the Imam Musa Sadr case. That case involves a great crime against a great man and conciliator and his historic cause, and exposes those who betrayed him in Lebanon and two other countries while swearing their personal devotion and shedding crocodile tears over the past 36 years. That research is nearing completion and publication awaits DNA results from body samples more credible than the ones offered by the Bosnia laboratory two years ago and immediately demonstrated to be fraudulent. The story of why that particular lab was chosen and by who goes to the essence of the current stonewalling campaign with respect to informing the public about what exactly happened to Imam Sadr and his partners on 8/3l/1978 in Tripoli, Libya. It also identifies who instructed Gadhafi to kill them over the strong objections from the PLO’s Yassir Arafat who spoke with Gadhafi and tried to save the trio of Lebanese Shia. But our discussion soon turned to other subject as Seif’s jailers may have taken seriously my joke that if they extended the original 20 minutes I was granted to two hours, I would deliver to them 10 US Visas and they could fill in any names the might choose. Truth told, of course I could not even get myself a passport renewal as former US Ambassador Jeffrey Feltman reportedly sneered at a US Embassy Christmas party a few years back, “Lamb will serve ten years hard time in the Feds for hobnobbing with terrorists (Hezbollah in those days…who knows today?) when we get him back home.” I admit that Jeff and I both have a problem with Hezbollah. His is because Hezbollah just may liberate Palestine and mine is that Hezbollah needs to do more in Lebanon and use 90 minutes of Parliament’s time, where it has the power, to grant Palestinian refugees in Lebanon the right to work and to own a home. Meanwhile, Da’ish (IS) is metastasizing fast in Libya through its main affiliate al Fajr Libya (Libya Dawn) and plans to add Tripoli, to its Islamic Caliphate along with Baghdad, Damascus, Amman and Beirut during the coming months and if necessary, years. This, according to Seif al Islam and representatives of the Zintan brigades based southwest of Tripoli as well as two representatives of other tribes and militia moving toward supporting the still vital Gadhafi regime remnants. Libya may be the lowest hanging ripe fruit within easy reach of Da’ish (IS) and its growing number of affiliates, according to US Ambassador Deborah Jones during a recent visit to the US Embassy in Malta, to discuss her own problems in Libya which include the 8/31/14 take-over by al Fajr Libya (FL) of the US embassy compound barely a month after it was evacuated and moved to Tunisia for the second time since February of 2011. Secretary of State John Kerry reassured the media in Washington recently that “the embassy was not really closed, but had moved out of Libya”. One Religion Professor at Tripoli University joked last week that “Kerry is correct, the US embassy is here but it’s in a state of occultation. We can’t see it but it’s around and watches us.” A Libyan photographer who was at the embassy compound when Al Fajr Libya (FL) arrived reported that the Da’ish (IS) affiliate had moved into buildings inside the embassy complex claiming that they would ‘protect it’ as they carted off boxes of documents for ‘safe keeping.’ FL is described by a former Dean at Tripoli U. as between al Nusra and Da’ish (IS) with a fragile partnership between the two and presenting to the public “A Good cop-Bad cop tag-team with differences to be worked out once all the infidels are vanquished. Libya, as with the Arab Maghreb, is on the cusp of a new wave of Islamist groups, and is moving beyond al-Qaeda of Bin Laden, Zawahiri, and Abdelmalek Droukdel, to Baghdadi’s ISIS and its widely perceived logical offshoot ISIM being planted in North Africa and the Sahel. The threat of the Da’ish (Islamic State is already deeply anchored and expanding in the now lawless Libya, according to UN envoy Bernardino León. Several Libyan organizations recently announced their loyalty to IS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi. This has confirmed a speculation that IS has penetrated Libyan public institutions. The Ansar al-Sharia group, affiliated with ISIS, has declared authority during the last several days over the coastal city of Darna which is located strategically between Benghazi and the Egyptian border – just 289 km (179 miles) and 333 km (206 miles), respectively. Countless militia are forming, merging, changing names and lying low as perceived interests dictate. Soldiers of the Caliphate in Algeria was retitled, revitalized
[Ugnet] God behind Big Bang and evolution
This Pope used to spy for the Junta in Argentina. The Junta operated murder squads. Now he drags *Big Bang singularity theories*, into Catholicism. These are only fleeting and transient theories, imagine.And this move, right when research is negating Black-Holes singularities, i.e. Big Bang singularity !! Kitalo nnyo Kelezia Nnyaffe kati bagisensera kuva munda !! === Re:God behind Big Bang and evolution - Pope Published time: October 28, 2014 16:21 Get short URL http://rt.com/news/200079-big-bang-evolution-pope/ [image: Pope Francis (AFP Photo / Alberto Pizzoli)] Pope Francis (AFP Photo / Alberto Pizzoli) 53106 Tags Meeting http://rt.com/tags/meeting/, Religion http://rt.com/tags/religion/, Science http://rt.com/tags/science/ The Big Bang and evolution both happened, but at God’s impetus, according to new comments made by the Pope. He told a religious meeting that the Big Bang theory did not contradict the existence of God, but required it. Pope Francis told a meeting of the Vatican's Pontifical Academy for Sciences that the *“Big Bang, which today we hold to be the origin of the world, does not contradict the intervention of the divine creator but, rather, requires it.”* He added that scientific studies, which have led us to believe that some 13.8 billion years ago the Big Bang created the universe, all slotted into God’s grand plan – as did evolution. Both theories are completely compatible with the teachings of the Catholic Church, according to the Pope. This is because evolution requires that beings are actually created so that evolutionary process can proceed. Pope Francis said that Genesis gives the impression that God is ‘a wizard with a magic wand’ and it is within his potential to do all things. However, reality somewhat contradicts this notion. *“But it is not so. He created life and let each creature develop according to the natural laws which he had given each one,”* according to the Pope. He went on to make his now-expected criticisms of corruption, which he labeled to be a *“worse evil than sin,”* and spoke in praise of his predecessor Benedict, terming him extremely clever. The Church has a history of maintaining an anti-scientific stance throughout the ages – with the most notorious incident being the imprisonment of Galileo, who stated that the Earth went around the sun. However, Benedict XVI was more open to evolutionary ideas, e.g. intelligent design. It also echoes the statements of John Paul II who said in 1996 that evolution was more than a hypothesis and rather an *“effectively proven fact.”* Francis went on to praise Benedict. *“Benedict XVI: a great pope, great for the strength and penetration of his intelligence, great for his contribution to theology, great for his love of the church and all humans, great for his virtues and religiosity,”* he said. Pope Francis is renowned for rocking the papal boat more than his predecessors and has attempted to reconcile divorce and gay issues. Conservative factions have stated that the Papacy has been fomenting confusion within the Catholic Church over homosexuality and marriage issues. However, progressives maintain the church has been effectively responding to contemporary pressures and issues. ___ Ugandanet mailing list Ugandanet@kym.net http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/ugandanet UGANDANET is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ All Archives can be found at http://www.mail-archive.com/ugandanet@kym.net/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).

[Ugnet] Putin, We Are Tired of Your Cold War Games
http://www.themoscowtimes.com/opinion/article/putin-we-are-tired-of-your-cold-war-games/509695.html Putin, We Are Tired of Your Cold War Games - By Joe Bergantino http://www.themoscowtimes.com/sitemap/authors/509694.html - Oct. 19 2014 18:45 - Last edited 18:46 Vasily Maximov / Reuters Dear Mr. Putin, On Thursday morning, your government dispatched at least six of its immigration agents to disrupt an investigative reporting workshop that a colleague and I were conducting at a hotel in http://www.themoscowtimes.com/opinion/article/putin-we-are-tired-of-your-cold-war-games/509695.html# your hometown of St. Petersburg. Among our subversive topics: how to be fair and balanced, ethical and thorough, and how to use data to be more precise and accurate. That's what I, as executive director of the New England Center for Investigative Reporting http://www.necir.org/, have taught to journalists in China, Serbia, Vietnam and other countries without interruption by government agents. My colleague there, Randy Covington, was the moderator of the workshop attended by 14 journalists. I was the main presenter. Your agents began their inquiry with a simple request: Your passports please. That was followed by an hour of questioning in a hotel meeting room. I was surrounded by your immigration law http://www.themoscowtimes.com/opinion/article/putin-we-are-tired-of-your-cold-war-games/509695.html#enforcers — one on each side of me and a few more standing guard at the door. The agents peppered us with questions. Why are you in Russia? What are you doing here? Were you conducting a workshop? And then the order: Write your statement, sign it, and we'll let you go. We did, but five minutes later, back in the workshop conference room, scene two of your Cold War movie unfolded. The agents interrupted us again. You need to come with us, they commanded in Russian. The van ride downtown, the stark, institutional waiting room. We were detained for three hours there at the immigration service http://www.themoscowtimes.com/opinion/article/putin-we-are-tired-of-your-cold-war-games/509695.html# before being transported to a district court. In the interest of fairness, I should note that your immigration service posted our names and the charges against us on its website http://www.themoscowtimes.com/opinion/article/putin-we-are-tired-of-your-cold-war-games/509695.html# while we were being detained. When a Russian television crew unexpectedly arrived to interview us, your agents offered us tea and cookies. But those same agents tried to convince us to sign a statement admitting that we had violated immigration laws by being in Russia on what's called a targeted tourism visa while conducting a workshop. We refused to sign. The ride to the courthouse was a short but unsettling one. In the van, it was just Randy and I and several of your agents. We entered the courtroom after an hour or two of waiting. We were given the opportunity to testify that we never had intended to violate the law and that the U.S. Embassy in Moscow had advised us that a targeted tourism visa was all we needed to conduct a workshop in your country. Randy explained to the judge that he had been in Russia just three months ago on a similar visa conducting a social media workshop without interruption. None of that made a difference. The judge declared us both guilty of violating Russian immigration laws. We were relieved to learn that this was an administrative and not a criminal violation. The end result: a warning. Don't do this again, and leave the country on your scheduled flight. Mr. Putin: Was all that really necessary? It's clear that you enjoy playing the tough guy on the world stage and that the Russian people overwhelmingly support your message to the rest of us: Russia is strong and will exercise http://www.themoscowtimes.com/opinion/article/putin-we-are-tired-of-your-cold-war-games/509695.html# her will as she sees fit. I am part of a generation of Americans who grew up worrying that one of your country's unpredictable leaders would press the red button and blow us to smithereens. We thought — prematurely — that was all past us when the Soviet Union crumbled and a new Russia emerged. But now many in our country define Russia with a cliche: once a bully, always a bully. And you appear to like it that way. ___ Ugandanet mailing list Ugandanet@kym.net http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/ugandanet UGANDANET is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ All Archives can be found at http://www.mail-archive.com/ugandanet@kym.net/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).

The Morocco government, through the federation, had given CAF three scenarios: to either let them host the 2017 Afcon, CAF to postpone Afcon 2015 to 2016 or Morroco pulling out out completely and facing any consequence from CAF. A close source at the Ministry of Sports said: Should CAF rejected all our requests and suggestions then we would be forced to withdraw from hosting Afcon 2015 to preserve the safety of our citizens and for that we are prepared to take any consequences that comes with our actions. South Africa could be considered as an alternative as well as Sudan who put up their request to CAF to be considered as an alternative host country. South Africa was initially scheduled to host the tournament in 2017 following the withdrawal of Libya as hosts due to ongoing fighting there. Egypt, meanwhile, had also indicated interest in hosting next year’s Nations Cup, stating its confidence in organising the competition on short notice. Afcon 2015 is scheduled to take place between January 17 to February 8 2015. Morocco will be subject to severe sanctions, including suspension of their national teams and clubs, if they do eventually pull out.

Last Updated Tuesday, October 7, 2014 2:48PM EDT SELBYVILLE, Del. -- A 4-year-old girl mistakenly took hundreds of packets of heroin to her day care centre and began passing them out to classmates, thinking the drug was candy, Delaware State Police said Tuesday. Several children who received the packets Monday morning went to the hospital as a precaution, police said. But no packets were opened, and all of the kids were released after being examined. Police say the child unknowingly brought the heroin to the centre when her mother gave her a different backpack because the girl's regular backpack had been ruined by the family pet. Police say the backpack contained nearly 250 packets of heroin, totalling nearly 4 grams (0.14 ounces), all labeled Slam. http://www.ctvnews.ca/polopoly_fs/1.2043346!/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_960/image.jpg [image: Child passes out heroin at Delaware daycare] http://www.ctvnews.ca/polopoly_fs/1.2043346!/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_960/image.jpg Hickory Tree Child Care Center is seen in Selbyville, Del., Oct. 7, 2014.

(Delaware State Police) The girl's mother, Ashley Tull, 30, of Selbyville, was charged with three counts of child endangerment and maintaining a drug property. She was arraigned Monday in Justice of the Peace Court and released on $6,000 bond. In a phone interview Tuesday, a woman who identified herself as Tull's sister, Alicia Tull, said Ashley Tull would not comment. But Alicia Tull said the charges and the subsequent media attention are unfair. Alicia Tull said her sister had no idea that heroin was in the backpack and would not have sent her daughter to school with the backpack if she had known. She said that Ashley Tull does not use or deal drugs and that she was taken advantage of by an individual who stored the drugs in Tull's home without her knowledge. The child endangerment counts relate to Tull's three children, who range in age from 11 to 4. As part of her release, Tull was ordered not to have any contact with her children, who are in the custody of a relative, according to police. The charge of maintaining a drug property means that a person knowingly allows drugs in the home, said Delaware State Police spokesman Master Cpl. Gary Fournier. It is a distinct crime from drug possession. Fournier declined to comment Tuesday on details of the investigation. Police have said their investigation continues and more charges could be forthcoming. Fournier said he believes the day care centre, the Hickory Tree Child Care Center in Selbyville, handled the situation properly, and notified police immediately when it occurred. A call to the centre was not returned Tuesday.

I have worked with the Special Forces on two separate occasions and have friends that are members of this elite group of men and women. CSOR and JTF are some of the most trained forces on the planet and watching them work was among some of the highlights of my career. As I think back to being deployed to Afghanistan and times I spent working for these organizations, I am reminded of time when my platoon was fortunate enough to do a convoy dropping off supplies to the JTF. I can still remember dismounting and being told to go get a hot lunch at the mess. As I walked in the oppressive August heat I remember seeing the most built man I have ever seen riding a stationary bike in the sun. His beard down to his chest and the rapid pace he was pedaling did not match how easily he was breathing. After lunch we were invited to partake in a tutorial in a range and one of the special forces operatives was gracious enough to let me use his rifle because I was carrying a C9 machine gun and would not have been able to part take had he not lent me his rifle. Any soldier that knows anything about being a soldier can tell you that letting another man use your rifle is not something that one does. You zero that rifle to your eyesight and a minor jolt can ruin the sights. It was a week later that I was shot, I was convinced that I was going to die going in and out of consciousness, and as I was being carried to a casualty collection point I looked up to see who was carrying me. It was the JTF soldier that let me use his rifle, and I asked him if he remembered me. He said he did not and I don't blame him because at the time we met I still had a head that was not blown apart. I told him that he lent me his rifle and I thanked him for it, he realized who I was and said to me that I will be shooting before I know it. I must have lost consciousness again and lost track of him because that was the last time I remember seeing him. I had not thought of that story for years but as I hear the news about our special forces deploying to Iraq I can't help but think that some of the men I worked with could be part of that contingent. Unfortunately my injuries prevented his prophesy to come true, and it is what has happened to me since my release that I hope no soldiers deploying in the name of this country has to endure. The department of veteran's affairs is not working, so making more injured veterans will only exacerbate the problem. A recent report released by the veterans ombudsman http://thechronicleherald.ca/canada/1230723-report-disabled-vets-missing-out-on-funds states that nearly half of the country's most severely disabled ex-soldiers are not receiving a government allowance intended to compensate them for their physical and mental wounds. There is a reason that the tactics of Veterans Affairs has often been described as callous. The No Go policy where, if denied enough times, the injured soldier will get fed up and go away is practiced widely in Veterans Affairs Offices across the country. Here is one example of thousands; a World War II veteran, a man I know, that fought in Canada's famous Devils Brigade (our first JTF), was injured in 1944 in Italy when he was hit with shrapnel from Nazi artillery.

Farm workers facing eviction can now call lawyers for help, the rural development department said on Tuesday. “Farm workers who have become victims of these evictions can call us,” department spokesman Mtobeli Mxotwa said. “They will be put in contact with our lawyers who will protect them from such.” On Monday, the Congress of SA Trade Unions alleged workers were being evicted from Western Cape farms following Minister Gugile Nkwinti’s announcement last month that land reform resolutions adopted at the ANC’s elective conference in Mangaung in 2012 would be implemented. Among the resolutions was that farm labourers would own half the land on which they worked. This would be “proportional to their contribution to the development of the land, based on the number of years they had worked on the land”. Government intended paying for the workers’ 50 percent share. The money would not be paid to the farm owner, but go into an investment and development fund, to be jointly owned by the parties constituting the new ownership regime. Mxotwa said legislation to protect workers was being drafted. “Presently, the department is busy with a legislation that will strengthen the protection of workers against farm owners,” he said, adding that it had yet to be presented to Cabinet. Western Cape Cosatu spokesman Tony Ehrenreich said farm workers would not accept the evictions. “Farm workers have declared that they are going to resist the evictions and Cosatu and unions support them,” said Ehrenreich. “Cosatu will be using all of the lawful and moral means at their disposal to assist the farm workers.” He warned farm owners to stop evictions, pending finalisation of the new land reform dispensation, or face protests. Mxotwa called on both workers and employers to be patient. - *Sapa* ___ Ugandanet mailing list Ugandanet@kym.net http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/ugandanet UGANDANET is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ All Archives can be found at http://www.mail-archive.com/ugandanet@kym.net/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).

Jackson shaking hands with the bloody handed dictator of Rwanda, of Andy Young pontificating on stage in Atlanta, are the clearest signals yet that America's black political class are being welcomed to join in the profits made at the Africa end of global supply chains, the profits of 5 million dead in DR Congo. Last week Rwandan President Paul Kagame appeared in Atlanta for “Rwanda Day http://www.rwandaday.org/”. What Kagame said from the podium wasn't especially important. What was significant is that Atlanta and Chicago http://therisingcontinent.wordpress.com/2011/06/14/protests-against-paul-kagame-in-chicago-on-rwanda-day-june-11-2011-signs-of-times-ahead/ where he Kagame did a 2011 Rwanda Day are, after New York, the largest concentrations of black Americans on the continent, and that in Chicago he was greeted by Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, while in Atlanta he was billed with former mayor and UN Ambassador Andrew Young and Bernice King. It's a marriage made not in heaven, but in the lucrative space where marriages of convenience are performed. The Kagame regime needs the best public relations it can buy to make up for the inconvenient facts. And there are a lot of inconvenient facts. The PR says Rwanda is “Africa's Silicon Valley http://www.rebero.com/home/index.php?option=com_contentview=articleid=146Itemid=188,” a land of neat villages and urban high rise buildings. In fact Rwanda is an informer-ridden, repressive police state where even small disagreements with the authorities can get you dispossessed or disappeared. Rwandan opposition political candidates http://blackagendareport.com/content/madame-president-no-madame-prisoner-rwanda%E2%80%99s-victoire-ingabire are routinely imprisoned or murdered. Rwandan dissidents are hounded and pursued http://blackagendareport.com/content/paul-kagame%E2%80%99s-rwanda-murder-inc across Africa and Europe, sometimes assassinated; the journalists investigating the killings are publicly threatened using the president's social media accounts. The PR says Rwanda's Paul Kagame ended the 1994 genocide. In fact, Kagame was trained in Uganda and by the US Army at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. He invaded Rwanda from Uganda in 1990 and brought the genocide with him, wading to power through the blood of hundreds of thousands. His forces, including child soldiers committed their fair share of Rwanda's 800,000 to 1 million murders in 1994 http://blackagendareport.com/content/what-really-happened-rwanda, at least 10% according to Christian Davenport and Allan C. Stram. The Hotel Rwanda Hutu-onTutsi genocide narrative was concocted to absolve Kagame's forces, to cover his tracks and those of his sponsors. The notion that the genocide occurred “because the West did not intervene” in Rwanda is laughably false. Paul Kagame and his army were themselves a “Western intervention.” Soon after taking power in Rwanda, Paul Kagame's US supplied forces, along with the US supplied puppet armies of Uganda and Burundi, invaded neighbouring Congo, where they have remained ever since, despite the attempts of several other African countries and Congo's central government, to dislodge them. Rwandan and Ugandan forces and their militias, which often include child soldiers, have depopulated vast zones of eastern Congo, where a large share of the world's easily available diamonds, gold, timber, and other mineral resources including coltan, a compound used in every computer, cell phone, aircraft and automobile are found. Despite the deaths of at least 5 million who have perished in Eastern Congo since the late 1990s, these resources are flowing steadily from Congo through Rwanda and Uganda mostly to Europe, North America and the West. By 2001, the UN had verified http://www.un.org/News/dh/latest/drcongo.htm that Rwanda's and Uganda's rising exports of gold, diamonds, coltan, casserite, timber, platinum and more fueling those countries' growth were the proceeds http://blackagendareport.com/content/rwanda%E2%80%99s-formula-success-murder-your-neighbors-and-steal-their-wealth of the genocidal rape and looting of the Congo. The horrific 5 million dead in Congo make it the largest single death toll since World War 2. Far from the “Hotel Rwanda” myth, Rwandan president Paul Kagame didn't stop a pointless genocide in Rwanda. He is carrying out a far larger, and immensely profitable genocide in Congo to this day. His “Rwanda Day” stops in Chicago and Atlanta, where Rev. Jesse L. Jackson and Andrew Young http://www.alternet.org/story/33068/andrew_young%3A_shameless_son appeared on his

Events of that week crystallized the profound hypocrisy and immorality of the American body politic. If you’d retained any semblance of your humanity, after decades of desensitization at the hands of the military-industrial *mafia* and their titillating lapdog media, you could not have escaped the glaring epiphany of a nation with disturbing priorities. Japan suffered a natural disaster of historic magnitude and began a futile battle against an epic nuclear meltdown, just as the world was being reassured that nuclear power was safe. While Japan struggled to feed its population – especially the elderly in nursing homes, the seven large US military bases in Japan were suddenly invisible. The country’s largest ports remained open and undamaged. Yet, instead of focusing every resource at our disposal on the Japanese cataclysm now washing up on the West Coast, the Obama Administration – at the urging of colonial masters Britain and France – decided to bomb Libya. Our erudite and eager-to-please cowboy President pulled a Butch Cassidy and tried to hide out in South America, apparently unaware that most of that continent enjoys better relations with Libya than with the US. American *exceptionalism* was in short supply. But the empirical band played on. Republicans – who had busied their fat little fingers (between large slices of American pie) laying waste to unions – quickly abandoned their months-long collective tirade on the merits of fiscal conservatism. While Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker gleefully handed out pink slips to teachers, General Dynamics demonically ramped up production of its Tomahawk missiles. Defense and oil stocks soared. Each Tomahawk that blasts a depleted-uranium hole in Libya costs the US taxpayer $1.5 million. As of today, the bill for decimating and decapitating the Libyan people came to $112 million – a small price to pay for a good old fashioned genocide. Rest assured there won’t be a peep out of Republicans as the Pentagon bounces checks to a familiar array of war profiteers. If education was a national priority, by my calculations we could have instead paid 2,240 teachers $50,000/year and come out even on the Tomahawk expenditure. But education is not a national priority. Neither is helping faithful ally Japan – whose citizens are tired, scared and starving. Instead, deficit-be-damned, our national priority is to bend over and lick the filthy blood-stained boots of the Rothschild-led City of London-based banking/oil/insurance/reinsurance/mining/agribusiness/pharmaceutical/*et.al http://et.al**.* syndicate, which will now steal Libya’s petroleum on our dime. This cabal seeks to depopulate the planet of useless eaters, monopolize its resources and amplify its own hegemony by throwing the entire global economy into the speculative realm on its various stock exchanges. They are financial parasites who destroy the wealth of all others while enhancing their own. Under the auspices of yet another “madman-elimination” Crusade, America was again led by the nose down a well-worn path to serve as Hessianized mercenary force for these self-declared *Illuminati *bankers. As if to foreshadow the Libyan madness, the day before Operation Odyssey Dawn commenced, NASA fired a Taurus XL rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The rocket misfired and plummeted into the Pacific Ocean, taking a cool $424 million beneath the waves with it. The boys making

A better question would be: On the issue of land in Afrika, who is the
legitimate owner?
I will limit my take on the rephrased question to the Buganda experience!
Land does not and should not be owned by an/any individual! The Buganda
Agreement of 1900 disenfranchised the rightful land owner, the Mutaka
Trustee owner was passed over by interest registered in the names of
appointed chiefs, designated care takers, selected royalty and the rest
vested in the British Crown transferable to a caretaker proxy government
harping to foreign interest!
Not even the King is a worthy custodian of the land because while being a
principle chief trustee of all Bataka, his absolute rights are regulated by
norms and mores that only allows him overlordship through appointed/chosen
officials. An example is the Kisolooza Estates, the Mujaguzo Estates, The
Official Estates of the various appointed chiefs and hereditary caretakers!
The land would have therefore belonged to all through their titular
cultural heads, in Buganda's Case, Bataka Clan Elders! Elsewhere, it's the
Elders that should hold the land in trust for their various peoples!

here we are. Let me say this too. Ghana has allowed World Health
Organization to build a research center in Accra. It is the worst mistake
Ghana has done to Africa. It has allowed our people to be turned into Rats

Yes ofcourse. They boasted of this openly in the media that the Afrikan
population will be taken care of using EBOLA. In Sweden the white
extremists were put on the media to explain why they saw it fit to wipe off
Afrikans using the ebola virus. The number of the solidiers being sent to
West Afrika = the reported ebola deaths that have occured in just a few
months. WHO puts the figure 2 deaths by end of the year.
This is what europeans did to red Indians and then took over their land..
Ever wondered why all over a sudden there are scientific researches
showing that the whites originated from Afrika?
Nevee mind - it is not they to blame, it is our leaders and stupid
so-called experts in Afrika that have allowed our people to replace rats

Omina OCEN,
The BARIGYES of this world are just thinking only of their own by blood but
not on political nationalism hence the reason they protected their
NRA/M7ism regime on the non-stop basis.
Just think or look, when OLARA Otunnu brought the issue of boycott of the
2011 general elections, it was none other than BESIGYE who stated since
OLARA Otunnu had no military qualification he (OLARA Otunnu) must shut-up
because, he (BESIGYE) had that required CV to remove the NRA/M7ism regime.
The rest they say is history. Again do not forget the thieving spree of the
NRA/M7ism leaderships which Ndugu BARIGYE does not want us to talk about
it. This is quite near to the doctrine of the infamous *'Cattle keepers'*
who thinks every four legged things on earth are only owned by them, which

You remind me the old days when I was in Kenya as a refugee and we could

we needed was to know how is Uganda That information was so vital to
us for some very unknown reason. And on every single morning you walked to
that bus park that I still see in my delusional dreams, were two answers.
If you spoke to someone from Mbale or Gulu or Kabale, Uganda is very good
we wonder why you guys do not come home, we had a dance in Mbale yesterday
to say farewell to me and we did not close the bar till 5am. And when you
pushed him further for more information, he would say, yes Uganda is good
except a little place called Luwero, there is NRA lead by Museveni and he
is making some skirmishes but the government is dealing with him, remember
this is an elected government and it has the authority to drive him out.
That answer was very uniform with everyone I have listed above. And to all
of them for now they are dead God bless their poor soul, lived in Mbale and
the rest of Uganda never mattered till when Muntonyera torched all of them
in train wagons as God damn Rabbits.
And to tell you the truth they were not lying. That is what they knew for
Ugandans define the national situation based on where they shit. And I
remind you the millions of times I was asked why I bothered about camping
Acholi’s. EM you are a Muganda do not worry about Acholi’s if they are
being raped. Yes I so cared about them for they are a part of Uganda they
are Ugandans and Acholi’s have every right to live free. And yes in your
little cocooned village in Buganda UNLA has a very displined soldiers
thanks to Museveni. One of the reasons I knell on my knees and pray God to
deliver the coming civil war early, is because after we burry 15 million
Ugandans, the remainder will start to question if this kid has had lunch.
Even though he is a Muganda kid and the one asking is a Muhororo.

similar role.

[Ugnet] Fwd: BRITAIN HAS NEVER PROTECTED NON-BRITISH INTERESTS
*SCOTLAND:* *BRITAIN HAS NEVER PROTECTED NON-BRITISH INTERESTS* * DR MOTSOKO PHEKO* History reveals that Britain (United Kingdom) has never protected indigenous or non-British interests – whether in Africa, Australia, India or New Zealand and so on. The British have always opposed and suppressed the interests of other nations, if their interests were in conflict with those of the “British Empire.” The 18 September 2014 Scotland Referendum was no exception. When the “Yes” campaign vote in Scotland for national independence gathered momentum, all the three main political parties in Britain began their own massive campaign of intimidation against the people of Scotland, especially a few days just before the referendum. Labour Party leader Ed Miliband told the BBC that the “the pro-independence campaign had an ugly side.” Prime Minister David Cameron painted a bleak picture such as the use of the British pound by Scots people if they voted “Yes.” Queen Elizabeth II though claimed to be “neutral” said she hoped that “the Scottish voters would think carefully.” The International Monetary Fund (IMF) poked its nose into the affairs of the Scottish people. Its Deputy Spokesman W. Murray said, “A Yes vote would raise a number of important and complicated issues that would have to be negotiated.” But what is clear is that the “Yes” vote by the Scottish people would have been a double edge sword if the United Kingdom tried to punish Scotland for its independence after their “Yes” vote. Here are the reasons for my view: 1.The United Kingdom nuclear missiles are based in Scotland. 2. UK would lose its royal regiment of Scotland. 3. The U.K. would be a new country with less power and prestige internationally if Scotland voted “Yes” in the referendum. 4. Wales and Northern Ireland might re-think their status within the powerless territorially reduced United Kingdom. 5. The pro-republic sentiment in Australia and Canada to break ties with the English monarch would have fermented. 6. The British Commonwealth would sooner than later collapse. 7. The United Kingdom U.N. Security Council would be insecure. 8. The Irish people did not suffer any currency problem when they dropped the British pound. The United Kingdom encouraged the “No” vote in the Scotland Referendum to protect its own interests, not those of the people of Scotland. * How Britain Protected Its Colonial Interests In Africa* The September 2014 Scotland Referendum brings to mind how the United Kingdom then called “Great Britain” protected its national interests in Africa at the expense of the African people, especially in South Africa. The United Kingdom protected its colonial interests by military power in Africa, using the most barbaric methods and intrigues. For instance, in Kenya the agents of the British government castrated the anti-colonial Kenyan fighters opposing colonialism. They called them “Mau Mau” and murdered hundreds of them and seized large parts of their fertile land. They practised colonial brutality in Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) sentencing to death the spiritual female leader of the Zimbabweans, Ambuye Nehanda and the Rev. John Chilebwe in Nyasaland (Malawi) for leading the anti colonial struggles in their own countries. They exterminated the indigenous people of Australia, New Zealand and Canada to protect British colonial interests. *The British Stole South Africa For Their Colonial Settlers * After many wars of national resistance against British colonialism* led *by African kings such as Hintsa, Cetshwayo, Moshoeshoe, Sekukuni and Makado; Britain through its guns over the spears of the African people seized the African country and handed it over to its colonial settlers. Through the Union of South Africa Act 1909, a British Statute of the United Kingdom, on 20th September of that year, Britain gave legislative powers to its colonial settlers. Section 44 of that imperial law, among other things reads, “That the qualifications of a Member of the House of Assembly shall… be a British subject of European descent.” Within three years of this racist draconian law the colonial parliament with the connivance of the British government passed the colonial law allocating five million indigenous African people 7% of their own land called “Native Reserves.” This 7% of the African concentration camps became a reservoir of “cheap native labour” for the farms and mineral mines which were now owned by the colonial settlers and their “mother country” – the United Kingdom. The 93% of the African country and land and its riches was handed to the 349837 settlers. This is the peculiar concept of “British justice” that is still boasted of with much British national pride today. *A Colonised African Country Turned Into A “Dominion”* Sooner than later, South Africa became a British colony to go by the title of “Dominion,” because it was not the custom of the

*They Are At it Again Syria, the Latest Crusade* “At Geneva, other countries would have agreed not to use aeroplanes for bombing purposes, but we insisted on reserving the right, as D[avid] puts it, to bomb niggers! *By Andre Vltchek* September 27, 2014 ICH http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/ - Counterpunch http://www.counterpunch.org/2014/09/26/syria-the-latest-crusade/ The West is striking again; it is stabbing the very center, the heart of the Arab World. This time it is targeting the group – ISIS – which it created itself, and which it had been arming, feeding and pampering until just very recently. Airplanes and missiles are flying, and bombs are falling. The war has begun. But is it really a war, or just a brutal game, a gigantic PlayStation operated by thousands of hooked-up maniacs in the Pentagon and all over Washington, Brussels and some servile capitals in the Middle East? A war is, after all, when two sides are facing each other, when two sides fight, when two sides are risking their lives. In this surreal and post-modern ‘war’, the only victims will be the people of the Middle East, most likely civilians. Their lives will be risked by those who are sitting, in safety, on their destroyers and in control rooms, hundreds and thousands of miles away, drinking coffee and cracking jokes. The Übermenschen of the West will not descend from the sky, in order to fight, – man to man – in order to minimize the casualties of a peaceful population. The killing will be done by Tomahawks and F22’s (at least those have real pilots), and by drones. This is actually not a war but a massacre, a mass murder. Another massacre. This one may last very long and take millions of human lives in the most brutal circumstances. Western leaders are ready… to sacrifice the lives of the “others”; the regime is ready. You can read it on Obama’s face, and on the face of Cameron. *** The Empire began attacks against its own creation – the Islamic State or ISIS as it is known here in the Middle East. Countless ISIS cadres were armed and trained in the NATO-run refugee camps in Turkey and Jordan, right on the Syrian border. And the main purpose of ISIS was to destabilize and destroy Bashar al-Assad’s Government in Damascus. ISIS did not fall from the sky. Nor is it some sort of spontaneous movement. Like the Mujahedeen forces in Afghanistan, which fought both, the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan (DRA) and later the Soviet Union, ISIS were paid, armed and trained by the United States and its allies. It is a common tactic used by the West, to identify and groom the most radical forms of Islam, including Wahhabism, which is now choking Saudi Arabia and other countries in the region. I was told in Istanbul by a leading Turkish documentary filmmaker from Ulusal TV, Serkan Koc, who has produced several ground-breaking works on the subject of the ‘Syrian opposition’: “Of course you do realize that those people are not really ‘Syrian opposition’. They are modern-day legionnaires collected from various Arab countries, including Qatar and Saudi Arabia, paid by western imperialist powers. Some are members of Al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations. Most are militant Sunni Muslims. One could describe them as rogue elements hired to fight the Assad government.” I have covered those border camps for more than two years, often risking my life, occasionally being harassed and detained by Turkish intelligence. In 2012 and 2013, I visited the areas around the Turkish city of Hatay, and camps like Apaydin, where various ISIS fighters were being trained by Western and Turkish intelligence. I investigated the situation at the border and also around Incirlik air-force base near Adana, which both the RAF and USAF use. And I worked in Jordan, at the camps that are openly utilized for the training of the ‘Syrian opposition’, a fact that is not concealed, even by the regional press. I thought that my reports, and the reports by Serkan Koc, Huseyin Guler and others, dispersed the myth of a ‘spontaneous uprising against the President al-Assad’. But obviously our efforts could not match the tremendous propaganda and brainwashing campaign unleashed by Western corporate media. In a totally irrational, logically bizarre pirouette, the US accused Syria of not destroying Islamic State, that unsavory offspring of Western imperialist policy. As reported by Reuters: “In a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power wrote, “The Syrian regime has shown that it cannot and will not confront these safe-havens effectively itself.” The strikes were needed to eliminate a threat to Iraq, the United States and its allies, she wrote, citing Article 51 of the U.N. Charter, which covers an individual or collective right to self-defense against armed attack.” To interpret what was written above: ‘Bashar al-Assad, we helped to create ISIS in order to overthrow you… Now we hold you

According to the new guidelines, the UK government has moved its visa processing office for east and central Africa from Nairobi to Pretoria, South Africa. The new guidelines were communicated to members of Parliament on September 16, 2014 and have been pinned on all notice boards. “This is to bring it to your attention, the new guidelines for applying for visas to the United Kingdom. These have taken immediate effect. Visa processing has been moved to Pretoria, South Africa. The Nairobi office will no longer process and handle visas,” the notice reads. Previously, all visas for east and central Africa were processed at the British High Commission office in Nairobi, Kenya. “Processing time for [a] visa is strictly a minimum of 15 working days from the date of submission of the application to the date of receiving a visa in the Kampala, office,” the guidelines say. However, MPs and parliamentary staff eligible for priority applications can have their visa processed within eight working days from the day of submitting the application. Although the guidelines don’t define priority applications, the British High Commission in Nairobi says they include diplomatic and urgent medical cases. According to the new guidelines, priority applicants will have to pay 100 pounds in addition to the visa fees. Payments for UK visas will be made online through a visa or MasterCard online transaction. And all applicants are required to open a personal online account which will be used for payment purposes. “Note that the visa handling centre in Pretoria, handles 17 other countries and will therefore not be in position to fast-track... or prioritize applications outside of the official processing period. Applications should therefore be made well in advance to guarantee visa issuance on time,” the guidelines read. For further information, applicants are advised to contact the protocol officer, British High Commission, Kampala. However, frequent travellers to the United States, Canada and other European countries will have their visas processed in eight working-days from the date of submission. “All applicants are advised to indicate contact numbers and email addresses that are functional such that the visa application centre will be calling applicants directly when their visas are ready,” the notice reads. The guidelines urge MPs, staff or members of the public who regularly travel to the United Kingdom to apply for long-term visas to avoid inconveniences which come with sudden travel arrangements. The notice doesn’t explain the reasons behind the relocation of visa processing to South Africa. However, Stephen Burns, the head of communications at the British High Commission in Nairobi, noted in a notice dated June 13, 2014, that the relocation is part of UK’s strategic move to operate few overseas hubs, as London applies austerity measures in its foreign offices On June 13, this year, Britain closed its honorary British consulate office in Mombasa following security threats.

[Ugnet] It is about the Golden Ratio in our Flag, Dear Brian
Dear Brother Brian, I saw the oval Uganda flag on your UNAA web site. The one depicting Unity. It is lovely !! There are tons and tons of Mathematics rolled into the way you did it. Asante sana. One can start with the circle's infinite rotation and reflection symmetries; may be to celebrate Archimedes, the greatest Engineer of all time - Mathematical Physicist really, with only John von Neumann coming close). A similar symbol is found on this Archimedes Grave!! I would even suggest Brother Brian that you can fold the flag into a circle, like you already have done, but with the ends not touching. Like a circle with a slit. The set of numbers formed then will represent an open set; from these the children of our country can blast off into Ring Theory.( Ring Theory by *Amelia* Emmy *Noether* (1882 - 1935) the Mother of Modern Algebra). Flags must represent the glory of a Country. The USA flag also has the dimensions of gold mean i.e. 1.6 . The Israel Star of David has too many Gods favorite Numbers i.e. (1.6) rolled into it, One or two numbers are enough to bring out the aesthetics. The so-called Rainbow flag of SA is well.. No Geometry there, no civilization. Don't start me on Canada's flag. It was made under Prime Minister Pierre Yves Elliott Trudeau, a reknowned lawyer but a Maths midget, and it shows in the so called Maple Leaf Flag. No Geometry No Class No Nothing !! Brother Brian the other flag you put up in Las Vegas is also not good. Length divided by the height must always be 1.6 (1.6 is Gods favorite number, the golden mean or golden ratio). The eye can always tell. Even Uganda diaspora in South Africa I saw them holding the wrong flag. *Kifulagafulaga*. It did not seem to have the 1.6 number dimension. Some folks are so mad that m7 may be putting down their Arts and Humanities. They also must measure up. *They say they are the thinkers !! You can imagine !!* On a happy note the small flag on the uniform of our Chief of Police is the right size. Yes. Gen Kale Kayihura is a lovely man. He is doing a very fine job. But he has to do much much more training!! Everything depends on National Security. Our COP so far has trained 5,000 Cadets. Next he trained 5,000. But Canada has 67,000 kids as Cadets, under Navy, Army Air Force. At an early age they interest them and immerse them in accelerated Maths, aerodynamics and stuff. *(Jump Maths they call it)* So this training is just a start by our COP General Kale Kayihura. He has to train very very many more. Permanent and constant training. Let him not listen to naysayers !!. Finally Brother Brian let me leave you with the Mathematical beauty of Salvador Deli. (1) Look at the icosahedron in which is seated Our Lord Jesus Christ, eating his last supper. All the measures of the icosahedron are in Gods favorite number, 1.6. Later with the Father in Heaven the icosahedron is enclosed in a dodecahedron in turn enclosed in a tetrahedron and finally a cube. *The Sacrement of the Last Supper * https://www.google.ca/search?q=salvador+dali+last+supper+lithographclient=firefox-arls=org.mozilla:en-US:officialchannel=fflbbiw=1440bih=797tbm=ischtbo=usource=univsa=Xei=waIhVJ_RII-SyATio4KQAgved=0CDIQsAQ (2) In the *Curvature of Spacetime.* Note the clock is not hanging on the wall any more. https://www.google.ca/search?q=clocks+daliclient=firefox-arls=org.mozilla:en-US:officialchannel=fflbbiw=1440bih=797tbm=ischtbo=usource=univsa=Xei=mKMhVLuUAdj_yQT20oGYCgsqi=2ved=0CDcQsAQ That the clock is not hanging on the wall any more is a crucial point but missed by most Art Critics, they don't appreciate Maths. Time no longer hangs on the wall but is flat on the table part and parcel of the fabric of space-time. So the clock is down on the table to join length *X*, breadth *Y* height* Z* so that Time* t* times velocity of light,c, together with i equals* ict*, or space-time *(X,Y,Z, ict*) of Albert Einstein et al... Is the President wrong, and they are the thinkers as they claim?. It is funny you know. Things like Bujagali Dams built by dummies, who don't think. I found the whole debate useless and in bad taste !! Greetings to all, Brother Brian.

certain point, and it is such short reasoning why Museveni has remained the
leader of this country this long, for you wonder, how can you stand up and
oppose Museveni and demand Uganda to be better, but you support the Kingdom
he so planted? Look at the entire trip that Mengo officials have done all
through Europe to North America, why don’t you find a single bite of a
second, when they are going after Uganda government? Why has Katikiro or
Nabakyala failed at even a single point to stand up and denounce that
government publicly? And what kind of population do you become when you
praise this Kingdom but go after Museveni that created it but feeds it? And
the reasoning became very basic, Katikiro and Nabakyala can never go
against NRA/NRM because they are one, it is their government and they
support it as it defends them. So to you as a defender of Mengo and Buganda
kingdom, you are sucked from both ends, Museveni is using you because he is
not accountable to you and Mengo is using you for it too is not accountable
to you. So you kneel before Mengo which kneels before Museveni and Uganda
gets screwed. We need to stand up and destroy this kingdom
if we will ever get rid of Museveni.

That is a very terrible sentence, there was no organized system in Kampala
at that time to investigate any one. The people form Tanzania never had a
time let alone place to investigate and collect data from any one of Amin’s
forces. They came in to do two things, to murder people and to loot. Go

Dear Brother Leonard Okello,
I learn you are a son of the late IGP Kasiim Musa Obura. I am sorry about
the injustice that was meted out to an innocent man, a man whose only crime was
that he took his oath to defend his country very seriously.
He once came to Buddo, where I was teaching, to survey the place to make
sure the region around had security. The way he interacted with us teachers
was of a dedicated Ugandan working his pants off to ensure security in his
country. An admirable man!!
Kassim Musa Obura was hanged to punish him for refusing to conspire with
Jonan Lowum, and Chief Inspector of Schools YY Okot, etc. to assassinate
President Amin; to plunge the country into bloodshed...
They hanged him for refusing to be part of their British/CIA odious plan.
The late Kassim Musa Obura is the true Ugandan hero, the Saint if you
like!!
Some Acholi brothers, and other people, claim that Jonan Lowum is a saint.
It is silly to say such !!
And when tho sole source of such attitude is base ethnicity it shows how
deep the psyche of folks gets so trapped into irrational tribal ghettos.
But that is the country we have!!
May God bless you and your dear ones.

It is even interesting that after the departure of Amin, UPC decided to go
into attending memorial services than hunting down those that killed
Acholis. On record Iddi Amin's departure is the single government change
that never sent many people into exile. The officers that tries to run to
Kenya after being threatened to be killed, arrived into Kenya and
voluntarily reported themselves to Police stations. Many were arrested from
Kenya police stations especially Kisumu area and brought back into Uganda,
and yet to today even though men like Okoth Ogola men like Garandi men like
Mustafa Adrisi have been free in Uganda, neither UPC nor Aka Laduja has
ever stood up to charge any former Amin soldier or police officer. As you

commit.
That man was Kasiim Musa Obura then IGP in Amins government. While it
is true that many people died during Idi Amin's government, including
Obura's first born [Airforce Cadet John Obura], many of those who died
where never killed by Idi Amin or his machinery of government and my
