KENYA'S ELECTIONS ANNULMENT - A PROPORTIONATE JUDGEMENT FROM THE SUPREME COURT? THE END!

Image
But it must be able to provide and show the evidence which proves their assertion. And the independent monitors and observers should not be reliant on the country's electoral commission for the provision of its proof.   Since the commission is not necessarily independent, competent or immune to having the electoral process hacked or its data being defective. Credit to President Kenyatta, that, despite not knowing whether he will be installed as the next President of Kenya,  after the next 65 or so days.   He has remained consistent in reminding Kenyans that the country needs to remain and become more united.  That they should be voting as Kenyans for all of Kenya and all Kenyans.  Not primarily for him -  unless they believe, have evidence that he is the best person to lead the country - or for Jaramogi Odinga, but for the country.  He is asking the Kenyan electorate to be magnanimous, to conduct themselves as good neighbours, and to put the country above

NORTH KOREA'S KIM JUNG-UN - HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS HITLERIAN PSYCHOTIC. PART 1.

Image
It is arguable that President Kim Jung-un of North Korea, is holding the world to ransom. In the first instance, the people of North Korea, South Korea, Japan, and other surrounding countries are being held hostages. And, secondly, he is holding them and the the rest of the world, hostage to an uncertain fate.  The Americans have been rather careless over the years, about who they label 'evil', but it is Kim Jung-un who probably most fits the definition of this label, as he recklessly pursues his ambition 'to destroy America.' Is Kim going to attack Guam, in which case, it would also be an attack on the United States of America, on South Korea, and on the rest of North Korea's neighbours, including China?  Or is he going to limit his assault on 'the free and unfree worlds' to just talking tough and irresponsibly, as he continue to test out and develop his now increasingly more updated and powerful toys? In which case he is likely to spook

KIM JUNG-UN - IF I WERE HE, WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE! PART 1.

Image
Such is the way of a child of a certain age, even pre-mobile infant, that he/she is given to repeating, persistently, the behaviour which elicits the response they aspire to elicit, having found out that it likely to do so. And what if, on one or more occasion, the child is frustrated in using that particular behaviour or stimulus to achieve their desired response?  Well, it is likely to attempt to achieve it, by, first, repeatedly displaying the behaviour, and then escalate its intensity and even resort to displaying other even more shocking behaviours, in their desire to succeed. This kind of analogy is no different to the extremely reckless and potentially catastrophic behaviour we are seeing from President Kim Jung-un.  We could describe Kim's wanton behaviour as either infantilistic or  Hitlerianly psychotic. Of course, it is inconceivable that any kind of infantilistic behaviour could have the dire, the potentially cataclysmic consequences which Kim Jung-un

ITALIAN GRAND PRIX - HAMILTON ALL THE WAY!

Image
It is only natural that one should approach a Grand ~Prix race with a certain amount of anxiety, and even trepidation, whether you happen to be one of the racing drivers or a spectator or media audience.  A nd it was no different for the Italian Grand Prix at Monza. How could it be otherwise, even though that most amiable of racers, Lewis Hamilton, was on Pole.  Yes, I did say most amiable, because, although there are times when Hamilton,  not being 'in a good place', as Martin Brundle would say, can be a killer of the spirit of the spirit of bonhomie, his predominant disposition is that of a genial and sensitive person. And so it was, that many people might have been willing that there would have been no contact between Hamilton and his young protege, Lance Strol.  Who had commendably promoted himself to P 2 position, due to penalties incurred by two of the drivers who finished Qualifying in front of him.  But, on this occasion, there was no need to b

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY - ENJOY THE JOURNEY, AS THE ARRIVAL MIGHT BE UNCERTAIN!

Image
So, consider this: We are always leaving to undertake journeys, short and long, not knowing for certain if we will arrive at our given or hoped for destination, but hoping that we will indeed arrive.  Our journeys can sometimes be actual journeys we make along a geographic path, were we are exposed to dangers as well as pleasant experiences as we move along the terrains, valleys and scenery we encounter along the way.  Or, our journeys might be mental journeys we travel in our minds, as we contemplate and aspire to achieve this or that objective. Probably to get a good job and money.  Probably to be able to buy the car and/or house of our dreams. Probably to get a good partner, or to be able to escape the oppressive physical conditions with which we are burdened.  Or simple 'to get better, to be well again', as we struggle this or than physical and/or mental illness. Or it might be 'to be saved and inherit eternal life.' And yet, in as much as one

ITALIAN GRAND PRIX - LEWIS HAMILTON CAN MAKE IT BACK TO BACK WINS!

Image
Yes, it is very probably that Lewis Hamilton will, with the non interference of the gods of negative forces, be honoured with winning today's Italian Grand Prix Race at Monza. And a most fitting win it would be as well.  Considering the climatic conditions which Hamilton has had to overcome to place himself and Car 44, with the invaluable support of all the staff of Team Mercedes, on Pole for the Race. Now, I have oftentimes commented on the fact that, achieving Pole position during Qualifying, is important for a driver's standing and chances of winning the Grand Prix, but that it is quite something else during the Race.  And, yet, in simple terms, the 20 drivers who took part in the Qualifying stage have had to contend with atrocious weather and aerodynamic challenges.  They were, quite literally, placing themselves, lives and cars on the edge, in their intrepid endeavour to complete what was probably a record breaking delay in completing Qualifying. It w

RUSSIA AND AMERICA IN CLASH OF THE TITANS. HOW BAD WILL IT GET? PART 2.

Image
Russia, like how any other self-respecting country and government would react, responded by taking measures to counter the impact of the sanctions against it.  Doing so, it would seem by both overt and covert measures. Probably including trying to influencing the outcome of the recent American Presidential elections.  Something which America has done in other countries, including probably Russia, and definitely the Ukraine. Something which a realist would not consider to be either a sacrilegious act, or one which should become a call for the war which American and Russia are now sliding into . And now, Russia and the United States are involved in a tit for tat diplomatic stand off.  A kind of 'Russian Roulette, the diplomatic equivalent of calculating nuclear submarine game of 'chicken', which they used to play in the hot and calculating days of 'Cold War. If the U.S and Russia continue with their diplomatic tit tat, soon they neither country will ha
