I've learnt alot here.
Now I need to lock in.
This thread is education in how the state manipulates information when the people protest against it. It's using the US situation now, but he who has eyes & ears, read , learn & apply for your own situation. This is not the time for your ignorance or your indifference.
There are several scripts circulating the internet to wane down U.S. public anger and cut support for those in the streets.
1. Claim external forces are responsible.
2. Racial division "I saw white people start it".
3. Pushing the "vote for x instead" campaign.
Me as ME, I want ZERO charisma and vibes from the president. I want rule of law, constitutionalism, leadership, folks quietly doing the work. I don't want the flamboyant acting BS we are suffereing from
To Kenyans watching the interview, former Chief Justice David Maraga comes across as a dull candidate, too calm and too restrained for the political theatre we’ve grown accustomed to.

This shit ends with us. If you are between 18- 40 years, this crap version of Kenya ends with us. We cannot take this bullshit to the next part of our life, let alone to another generation. Enough. THIS. SHIT. ENDS. WITH. US. It's been time, but now, it's really time.
I remind you all that when Baba got sick a few months ago, he was airlifted to Dubai for treatment & Akina Joho took a private jet to go see him. If this is your King, abandon ship today. Oh, and Babu enjoys Baba's protection via ODM. None of these guys are for us. Accept it.
There is not a single Kenyan youth who believes or has interest in a single word coming from your mouth. You have zero standing to tell the youth of Kenya anything. We see thru the BS. This is prime the prince and princess for take over in a few years. Nope. Absolutely NO.
