Obama's throw back Tuesday - $500,000 for ambassadorial slot!

Obama appoints Colleen bell as US ambassador to Hungary as pay back for her giving his campaign $800,000 and bundling over $2.1m in 2012

An infuriated Arizona Senator McCain urged the republicans not to confirm her stating she was unqualified and the only thing she was bringing to the table was being a producer of a soap opera.
Yes, Colleen Bell is the producer of the CBS soap The bold and the beautiful which first aired in 1987.
Senator McCain tried scuttling the confirmation saying "We're about to vote on a totally unqualified individual to be ambassador to a nation which is very important to our national security interest, Her qualifications are as a producer of the television soap opera The Bold and The Beautiful, contributed $800,000 to Obama in the last election and bundled more than $2.1 million for President Obama's reelection effort."

He continued: "I am not against political appointees. … I understand how the game is played, but here we are, a nation (Hungary) that is on the verge of ceding its sovereignty to a neo-fascist dictator getting in bed with Vladimir Putin, and we're going to send the producer of The Bold and The Beautiful as the ambassador. I urge my colleagues to put a stop to this foolishness. I urge a no vote."



She however got confirmed without a single republican vote.



Also up for confirmation was Noah Mamet, a long time democratic fund raiser who also bundled over $500,000 for Obamas 2012 reelection campaign. He was confirmed as the ambassador to Argentina a country he admits he has never visited before.



The Democrats needed to quickly rush the confirmations before handing over the house to the republicans in January who now control the senate.

The White House on Tuesday said President Obama was confident Bell "will do an excellent job of representing the United States and maintaining the important relationship that the United States has with the government and the people of Hungary."

Press secretary Josh Earnest said she "obviously has succeeded in the business world" and hailed the soap opera producer's "distinguished private sector career."

The White House spokesman insisted that Bell "was not chosen" because of her fund raising on behalf of the president, adding that Obama did not take ambassadorial selections "lightly."



With the Russian bear posture in the east and Hungary under pressure to capitulate to Russia, one would have thought a career diplomat with extensive experience would serve US interests in Hungary better but President Obama says she can pull it off, lets hope she does.

Boko Haram and the mysterious white men - Part 1

Boko Haram and the Mysterious White Men - The mercenaries 

"A military helicopter with five people on board, on Monday Nov 10, 2014, crash-landed in Riverside area of Damare of Girei Local Government Area, some few miles away from Yola, at about 9.30 a.m.

The helicopter was said to have only white people, four men and one woman on board, but only two sustained various degrees of injuries.

Effort to reach authorities concerned failed as the entire area was surrounded by military men, stopping anybody to go close to the scene.

One of the military men told journalists that it was an order from above not to say anything or a...." this was reported by http://www.tribune.com.ng

So i heard on the 10th of Nov. 2014 that a chopper with 5 Caucasian passengers had crashed at Adamawa. 4 men and a woman.

The locals attempted a rescue but were later chased away by Nigerian soldiers that secured the scene. Guns and ammunition and money were reportedly onboard and the flight path showed it was heading towards Mubi a hotbed of a raging gun battle.

The Nigerian military admitted a chopper indeed crashed but said the chopper was on a training mission and also denied the presence of white men on board contrary to eye witness accounts as reported by silverbirds TV that a Whiteman in combat uniform came looking for help before ambulances arrived and more choppers came to ferry other things away....  Silverbirdtv.com

The chopper was reportedly blown up a typical MO of covert operations.

In the Kano central mosque bomb blast another Whiteman was fingered as the culprit having been seen fidgety as he walked into the mosque accompanied by two teenage boys and later remote detonated the bomb on the kids. http://jaguda.com

So who are these mysterious white men?

What do they want in Nigeria, whose side are they on and why is the government keeping them out of the news?

The Conspiracy

My initial thought when the chopper crash news broke was they were American soldiers helping Nigeria combat the insurgency after the capture of the girls in Chibok but with details emerging that cash was on board the chopper I had a rethink.

Ammunition and weapons, fine but what do you need cash for in a war zone? It can’t be for the Nigerian government soldiers, what would they be doing with dollar bills? If it’s not for them then it must be for the insurgents.

Giving credence to the the Kano bomb blast theory. Meaning Nigeria (not the Nigerian govt) is fighting a formidable foe bent on our destruction as a nation!

The next step was identifying who these white men are working for.

Weeks back, as the Nigerian army appeared to be incapable of confronting the boko terrorists, I had advocated in Solace my political oriented vibrant bbm group that if the Nigerian army couldn’t do the job then we should get mercenaries to fight for us since we can actually afford it and that payment of soldiers should be done directly to ensure they get their money and boost their morale. 

As a sharp boy, I went searching for mercenaries online, However on my research,  I discovered that the use of mercenaries was prohibited by a UN charter of which Nigeria was a signatory to in 1990 http://en.m.wikipedia.org

 Further research however showed we could use private military contractors; naturally the name that immediately popped up in my mind was Blackwaters worldwide.

Enters Private Military Contractors (PMC, fancy name for mercenaries)

Blackwaters was the company exposed by Assange to have murdered civilians in Iraq and they were working for the US govt.

So I tried to contact Blackwaters only to discover Nigeria currently had private military contractors working for us! http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_military_company

And balckwater worldwide, which had changed her name first to Xe and then to Academi is involved in Nigeria.

Long before the name change, the founder Erik Prince a former US navy seal had advocated the use of PMC to protect American oil interests in Africa especially Nigeria due to activities of the Niger delta militants. And yes, PMC were fingered in the indiscriminate use of helicopter gunship to decimate communities in the Niger delta region.

Triple canopy, a private military contractor has been in Nigeria since 2007, under the usual cover for PMC which is provision of military training or security for high value targets. 

Now it gets more interesting, Triple Canopy and ACADEMI (Blackwater Worldwide new name) teamed up to form Constellis Holdings and then bought another company named Constellis Group ,(a leading provider of security, support and advisory services to government, multinational corporations and international organizations operating in challenging environments around the world.). Constellis Holdings was formed by the founders of Triple Canopy and the private equity investors who formed ACADEMI.

The transaction created a badass group, including: Triple Canopy, Constellis Ltd., Strategic Social, Tidewater Global Services, National Strategic Protective Services, ACADEMI Training Center and International Development Solutions.

So whats he saying?

It’s scary enough to know that foreigners have been using Nigerians as target practice because PMC have not been known to be ethical; they are soldiers of fortune that can be managed only by savvy and responsible governments when used. They have, for instance, been employed in the civil wars in Congo, Angola and Sierra Leone, both by governments and insurgents, fighting for both sides!

 But how many people saw them in any of the fire fights or the massacres as the rebels amputated their fellow citizen’s limbs?!

Tie back to boko haram.

Remember how we have been unable to understand how a supposed band of miscreants plan attacks and trounce our soldiers repeatedly? Our soldiers who were feared for their bravery and professionalism around Africa (before AFRICOM, a PMC staffed contraption by the USA came?)

Is it that these mysterious white men are private military contractors working for the government (Adamawa chopper crash) and also working for boko haram (the detonation of the bomb in the Kano mosque)? (If they were solely working for the government, there would be no need to destroy the boxes of dollars except they knew they wouldn't be able to explain what the money was meant for to the authorities!)

I know you ask, why would they work for both sides? well they are soldiers of fortunes, if the war stops they stop getting paid, so they will do anything to sustain the war after all the people dying are Nigerians not  them!

Is this why Boko haram have been so resourceful, their propaganda so effective? Are their activities being planned from the USA using sophisticated computer simulations to cause

maximum chaos? Is this why supposed almajiris give our soldiers the chase on the battle field? Remember the use of anti aircraft guns in Mubi by these insurgents? Remember the call that came to the air force pilot that told him to turn back which allowed insurgents take over Mubi, who can have access to hacking a secure military communication channel? Remember the precision timed attacks and synchronised explosions followed by multiple campaigns on several fronts?

Is this why it seems the army can only hold and prevent their advancement for a little while and their attacks seems to gauge public opinion before being launched? So who monitors the social media for them gauging public perception? Shekau?! I don’t think so!

And can you observe he reads from a script almost every time he speaks? Yes same blue covered scripts used by film makers! So who are his puppet masters?

A week after the Kano bomb blast, boko haram is yet to claim responsibility so who really bombed Kano Central mosque?!

Who are these mysterious white men and what do they want? 

Who are they really working for and what is their end game? 

Find out in part 2 of this write up coming up on Sunday.

Sneak peek from Part2. Boko haram - The Bill Gates angle!

Who will start a war from a region with no natural resources that could easily pay for the cost of the war? The north has no oil production yet and still the conflagration threatening to swallow Nigeria up conveniently started from there. The oil region in the south south is peaceful at the moment. So what then is greater than oil?

The people! People will be around long after oil is gone. The war from the North started because of the people, look to your ministry of agriculture to understand what I’m saying..

Enters Mosanto

 Mosanto is a company founded in 1901 and currently touts herself an agricultural company, she has been linked to the hiring of ACADEMI……

Mermaids - are they real?

Mermaids or "mammy water" as we know them in Nigeria, are they real?

It was a bright lovely day in December 1983, I had just come back from school, I was in primary 4.

The previous day, my father had thrown away my plastic ball over the fence in annoyance because i came back from school, refused to complete my home work and proceeded to enjoy a game of football all by myself as I had no one to play with; I was a protected kid and the only boy for more than five years.

I got back from school, having bought another ball with my lunch fees because I was given free lunch by the cooks because my mum was the headmistress of the school.

I played my heart out in my lone game dribbling imaginary opponents and scoring so many goals Messi would be ashamed today.

One second I was scoring goals, the next I saw myself flying headlong in a perfect dive into the raised but uncovered water well in my compound.

I hit the water, curled up in foetal position and tumbled to the bottom, on the way down I tried screaming but water rushed into my mouth and I knew to keep my mouth shut.

I hit the bottom and instinctively pushed myself up, as I rose back to the surface my life flashed past me, all I had done, my friends, my brother and sisters, my parents crying, everything flashed in that brief moment. I saw all my past and a glimpse of the immediate future of my death in that brief instant!

I broke the surface and started tumbling again. when I reached bottom, I pushed myself up again, this time as I broke the surface, something told me to spread myself out so I wouldn’t go back down so I wedged my self speared eagle in the well which was the position my father and neighbours met me to effect a rescue.

Hehehe, yes there was no mermaid; it was a water well not the sea!

But are mermaids real? I'm not talking about spiritual stuffs I am talking about real flesh and blood beings living in the oceans and lagoons.

I worked in Eket for a few years, I worked offshore and made it a point to look into the sea anytime I was free or at the boat landing all in hope of sighting a mermaid aside seeing the ever playful dolphins, jelly fishes, stingrays and occasionally courting whales, I didn’t see one. However I heard stories and was involved at a time with a lady who had a mermaid husband, yes you heard me, mermaid husband who gave her money and jewellery whenever she needed it, but it was spiritual because I never got to see the mermaid guy.

Later I launched into learning more and to see if I could meet one. These were some of what I found out.

1. I came to understand that we know more about outer space than we know of what lies beneath our oceans, if we take into account we know so very little about what’s in space then we know absolutely nothing about what’s in our oceans. So mermaid could certainly exist.

2. Fishermen have caught fishes in high seas and found spears made of fish bones embedded in their sides, some sharks have been disemboweled and remains of humanoid creatures with fish like features found in them.

Russian fishermen have a short clip of something caught in their net that lunged at them and slipped back into the sea as the crane operator panicked.

During a US navy sonic weapon test that caused mass beach washing of dead aquatic animals, two young brothers came across a mermaid right in the beach!

3. Why do dolphins save humans or hunt with us? Asian fishermen work in collaboration with dolphins who drive fish into their nets and the fishermen give the dolphins their own share after the cash right in open seas! These fishermen stand in shallow waters and call out to the dolphins in the sea, these dolphins drive and herd the fish towards the fishermen who spread their nets to haul in the catch. The dolphins must have been hunting with human like creatures in the seas!

4. I read a story when I was about 15, a boy mermaid was caught in USSR by fishermen who asked him to tell them where it came from with a promise to release him back into the sea, he did but they refused to keep the bargain, and he said before they turned him over to Russian scientists that USSR would break up within two years. This was at a time USSR breaking up seemed impossible, I watched to see if its predictions would come true and behold it did as USSR split under Gobarchev!

5. Traditions in Nigeria of Osun worshippers involve sacrifice to mermaids who show up when summoned. Fishermen in Epe in Lagos attest to mermaids showing up especially when angry with how they fish.

There is the story of the man named Julius Berger, yes, the same coy that construct roads who died building a bridge after capturing 2 mermaids whom asked to be released but he refused. I remember reading a story decades ago in a newspaper about a man who was having a swim at bar beach and seeing a Caucasian male far ahead in the water swam up to him trying to prove that he could best the man in swimming only for him to get near and few minutes later the man did the dolphin dive and he saw he had a fish tail!

Below are some videos clips.
The main one is of two brothers who went inspecting beached whales (attributed to US navy sonic weapons tests, there was a similar beaching of a whale in Lagos at the bar beach), the younger filmed with one of the earlier versions of camera phones whilst the older one took a stick to prod a strange creature and it turned out to be a humanoid creature.

Yes, circumstantial at best but see the images and documentary below and tell me if these beings exist or not?

They can be explained by all theories possible including the creation stories!

I believe mermaids exist, what about you?

Just Talk

Just Talk

Before the beginning was chaos,

Before the bang was serenity,

At the center of a storm is peace,

In cacophony lies all three, the building block of reason.

If life is not an accident,

Is death then for a reason?

In between both, immortality,

In eternity lies all three, the foundation of faith.

The quest to lead a people,

The drive to rule a nation,

The submission of the subjects,

In silent war lies all three, the foundation of slavery.

Picket fences as beautiful prisons,

Expensive holidays with happy workouts,

Like surrogates deceiving the parents,

In illusion lies all three, the bedrock of the new age.

The rivers of red, source at the top

The stench of the slain,

The drums fueling the orbit of mars,

In battle lies all three, war begins long before the first shot.

So why do we dread  the unknown?

Why the scarcity of brazen men?

And the Kings walking on foot?

In fear lies all three, the limiter of great causes.

Now, Its all a virtual reality in the third dimension,

An esoteric game of chess on intergalactic boards.

The C4 to off us embedded right from the start,

So what's more to fear than fear itself?

Its on record that we all have to go!

So why cling on like its all that matters?

Unsheath your sword and cut off the ear!

With your back to the wall earn your place in the cosmos!

Out of Eden we already are so why hold back?

Paradise won't creep in it, would be herald!

Hope is not a strategy not in this warfare!

Well, this is just talk from this traveler,

When we get to Orion guess we'll all know better.

So take care lest you get bounced back to earth by the gate keeper,

Unless of course you have Archangel Camuel on speed dial!

Kaboom - Written in solidarity with the Syrian people

Kaboom

(Written in solidarity with the Syrian people)

A king and his people,

The leader and his subjects.

Reason is like music,

The melody can intoxicate!

Let the dancer beware,

The party is only for awhile.

The court and the fool,

The parliament and advocates,

Greed is like success,

The euphoria is addictive!

Let the user be wary,

The stash fizzles out in an instant.

The cricket and its noise,

Silence reigns after its death,

The black widow and her love,

Ask the lover when you get to orion!

Listen to the multitude,

The few will lead you astray!

Now to big bang theory,

Terror is a tool,

Loud noise is meant to scare.

When death comes swiftly,

It comes in absolute silence!

To hear the boom is to be alive.

Governance from the lair,

Stupidity from the air!

The spinal cord of the paralyzed,

A great disconnect, emotion still in connect!

As a farmer is intimate with his yam,

The King must get his hands dirty!

History is a string of events,

Judgment a simple turn of events!

Killing children and women in a war,

The password to Hades for the soldier.

Be wise great Bashar,

Mahmoud and Saddam trod this same path!

Of politicians and battles,

Personal glory and gambling.

Tough talking in safety, sending men to horrors.

Remember the battle of Omaha,

A beach is not always a nice place!

Paris wasn't always a holiday destination!

To the him's that groomed Hitler,

Now the you's grooming his children.

A government that fears not the people,

Is a tyranny that will destroy a race.

Kaboom starts long before the war,

Right from when the Prince totters!

Kano Bomb blast update - at least 92 dead

At least 92 people are reported dead in the twin bomb blast that rocked Kano central mosque earlier today, over 120 reported injured. These figures were given by one of the rescue officials on scene according to AFP. Both figures are expected to climb higher as recovery and rescue operations continue.
The Blasts were followed by staccato of gun fire with initial report assuming the police opened fire to scare the attackers away but has now been confirmed the attackers were the ones firing mowing down people as they ran from the explosions. 

It has however been confirmed that the Emir of  Kano was not in the mosque as at the time of the incident, traditionally he leads the Friday prayers but was in Paris having traveled earlier this week. No group is yet to claim responsibility but Boko Haram is suspected of being the mastermind as the Emir recently called for arms against the group in a sermon in the bombed mosque. Keep checking here for updates.
