SUGGESTIONS AGAINST TERROR

Janet Napolitano Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security outlined the following five recommendations:
http://www.necn.com/Boston/Nation/2010/01/07/Napolitano-releases/1262905044.html

•Re-evaluate and modify the criteria and process used to create terrorist watch lists—including adjusting the process by which names are added to the “No-Fly” and “Selectee” lists.

•Establish a partnership on aviation security between DHS and the Department of Energy and its National Laboratories in order to develop new and more effective technologies to deter and disrupt known threats and proactively anticipate and protect against new ways by which terrorists could seek to board an aircraft.

•Accelerate deployment of advanced imaging technology to provide greater explosives detection capabilities—and encourage foreign aviation security authorities to do the same—in order to identify materials such as those used in the attempted Dec. 25 attack. The Transportation Security Administration currently has 40 machines deployed throughout the United States, and plans to deploy at least 300 additional units in 2010.

•Strengthen the presence and capacity of aviation law enforcement—by deploying law enforcement officers from across DHS to serve as Federal Air Marshals to increase security aboard U.S.-bound flights.

•Work with international partners to strengthen international security measures and standards for aviation security.


These are my suggestions in response to the above recommendations:
The US government must quickly assess the need and resourcefully provide full body scan machines to ALL countries who have direct flights to the USA.
That I can guarantee will make the US government and the citizens less vulnerable.

The issue of terrorism must be dealt with effectively from the source and not the final destination.
If thorough security and counter terrorism measures are implemented around the world especially at the so called countries of interest, those wacky minded lunatics will be denied the luxury of recruiting people from unsuspecting countries.

My second and most important suggestion to or for the US government is to remember that the ONLY proof against terror is total reliance on GOD as done by the founding Fathers of America by trusting in the ALMIGHTY GOD.

YES WE CAN!!!

"We ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get in back, when brown can stick around. When yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man; and when white will embrace what is right. That all those who do justice and love mercy say Amen."
From Reverend Joseph Lowery's Inaugural Benediction January 2009

Oh yes, for we knoweth not what the end of a matter is, therefore we must continually be under the direction of Yahweh.

For Yet are we are awake Yet STILL in a slumber. Why? Because of what we have been told to believe.

Now and now are we witnesses to the Great Miracle and His- Story on January 20th 2009. Some of us were far away yet closer than many through the magic of a Tube or LCD.

Yeah Yeah Yeah!!! Have we now got the BRAVERY to proclaim: THIS IS OUR SEASON.

A season of endless FAITH, HOPE & CHANGE for the BETTER.

We are now ready to lead again and again.

Our enemies may be watching us, yet we fret NOT 'cause we are the GENERATION OF WARRIOR who have fought many battles and won.

Speak to us our NEGRO Brother and friend, Speak to the hearing of all the UNIVERSE.

The beauty we cherish inside of us yet very afraid to acknowledge is now exposed.

Howdy Howdy Howdy, we are now here.
Here and here have we arrived.
From the Constitution Avenue to Pennsylvania Avenue we have arrived in OPULENCE & HUMILITY.

The spectacle and shades of many eyes and colors have embraced our COLORFUL nature and beauty.

Ahaaaa, we have climbed the Highest mountain and have conquered.

Speak to the wind, for it is ready and swift to transmit the sweet message of HOPE & CHANGE.

Remember, it is only the son of a TRULY FREE NEGRO that can inhabit the abode of the oppressor... Yes I said it...

For our BROTHER was born a FREE MAN not a Morgan Freeman... BUT A TRULY FREE MAN.

We receive you Our Brother and we Welcome you into the Land of the Free and of the Brave.

YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN!

You may be a Hussein (PERSIAN OR ARABIC NAME), a Barack (JEWISH NAME) or an Obama (JAPANESE CITY) but who cares, You are our brother...

Welcome, Woezor, Akwaaba.

This is our season... YES WE CAN..........

Ipse dixit

It is somewhat refreshing to say the least when I’m comfortable and feeling a little bit grand about the year 2008 so far...
Hold on..
I have to apologize for my unnecessary long absence from this blog.
It wasn't deliberate. Yet considerate of me to pause for a while because of many comments and calls i got in reference to my postings.
I didn't know i was that important after all.
Hell yeah.
Ghana is fantastic right now.
From CAN 2008 through the UNCTAD conference, Miss Universe Ghana, Ghana Music Awards Festival, Marcel Desailly Soiree, Laureus Sports event and many many others.
Anytime i think about the nagging days about Ghana i feel pathetic...
Lol.
Anyway, I thank you all for your criticism and commendation especially Kerry.
Fantastic I should say is what I say to the physical transformation of Accra.
I have great pals that keep me grooving all week long.
Oh what a time is it to be in Ghana.
My previous questions and torrents I unleashed on Ghana were or are totally ridiculous.
Forgive my wavering mind.
Sometimes you have to see the worst in a situation before you can appreciate the beauty that is hidden in the mess.
Thant's what my Country Ghana seem to be.

You got to make it happen for yourself.

Cheer up my exiled buddies, is about time you come home now.

Adios

compendium! stoically! sullenly: what do these words mean?

In circumstances of prosperity and happiness, we must never forget that it is God who plants a hedge about us, blesses our work and increases our substance. It is good to realize that whatever be the malignity of our foes, there is always the Divine restraint, and we are not tempted beyond what we are able to bear. It is not enough to endure our griefs sullenly or stoically. It should be our aim not only to hold fast to our integrity, but to trust God. There is a clue to the mystery of human life, which comes to the man who differentiates between the Real and the Unreal; the Seen and the Unseen. (F.B. Meyer)

STOICAL: patient and uncomplaining: showing admirable patience and endurance in the face of adversity without complaining or getting upset.


SULLENLY: hostilely silent: showing bad temper or hostility by a refusal to talk, behave sociably, or cooperate cheerfully.

COMPENDIUM: short comprehensive account: a comprehensive but brief account of a subject, especially in book form.

Interesting choice of vocabulary to describe the facts of life by F.B. Meyer.

Maybe, i must learn to be STOIC from henceforth...

If i want to forget my past and to move forward, i must learn to be STOICAL. PERIOD.

Pastiche! or Pulchritude!

Well thought of and well rehearsed is what i wish i could be.

Liberal in my Thoughts! My Philosophical musings on this blog sometimes portray wrong impressions about my feelings about Ghana.

The truth is that, my emotions right now is like a ratatouille:
Eclectic, Mixed, "Messed UP" Congested and sometimes down "dirty".

Forgive me if i sound that way because emotions, feelings and anguish stem from varied experiences in life.


Back to my roots; BANG

I watched Prof. Agyeman Dadu Akosa on TV last night preaching about Ghanaian politics... OK its frightening for me to admit this. BUT, I think I'll vote for this dude if he happens to be on the ballot paper.

H e was so passionate and spoke words of wisdom and actually was able to tabulate what Ghana must do to progress.
Food, Cloth, Shelter, Health & Education. SIMPLE!

Analyze and assess what African govts are doing and you realize we are missing the point.

Why can't these govts do the basics before talking about all these economic gibberish on Radio and TV about Macro economic growth of the country whilst the average Ghanaian is broke in the pockets?

Consider their talk nonsense!

I'm not the man i used to be,
I'm not my shy self,
I'm not my Boastful self
I'm not my hateful self
BUT
I am Me
I am Humble
I am concentrated
I am Consecrated
I am Refined
I am Resolute
I am Strong
I am Powerful
I am Rich
I am Beautiful
I am Myself...

I am and you too can be what the Almighty say we can be....

Shut up and move forward...

The ant will not wait for the Bee to come feed it...

Africa Must wake up to feed herself...

Like an old poem i read in High school,
"Awake Mother Africa Awake"

Wisdom cannot be bought?

The Making of a King
The Wilderness Life

The road to the top is a lonely place.

You find only a few who are likeminded on the way to the top.

1 Samuel 21:1 & 10 -15

You become deserted.

David was stripped of all royal privileges

David was surrounded by powerful enemies.

David was seized by fear and suspicion

David was seeking for a hiding place.

It is temporary, Transitory and part of building a character and part of training.

When you become lonely, you depend more on God.

Wilderness life is when you feel lonely, embrace God.

It is a time of Personal loneliness
A time of public humiliation

David was chased out into enemy hands.

Your Trouble ought to tell you who you are.. TD JAKES.

Trouble surround you all the time because the devil is afraid you going to shake yourself loose very soon.

We are defined by our OPPOSITION in life.
Trouble has defined me.
My enemies thought me who I was.

My enemies thought me how to pray.
I must be a force that’s why the enemy is fighting me like this.
Thank God for my enemies.
The greater the battle; the greater the spoil.
The enemy knows who he is fooling with.

My friends try to help me out of trouble BUT my enemies push me into it.
Therefore I learned to call on God in the midst of my enemies.
My cup runneth over because of my enemies.
How can I win this battle?
The only way to win and win this battle is NEVER to get in the ring with satan
Stand still and know that he is God.
There’s no need to fight, the battle is not yours the battle is the Lord’

These were the words of Pastor Mensa Otabil.
www.centralgospel.com
I bought this wisdom by turning on the right channel @ the right time....

So then, Wisdom can be bought,,,

Interesting haaa....

I

O yes you folks might think i am very biased..
When the lights were going off like the blinking eye of a Mockingbird i nagged and lamented about it...

OK...

I must now confess that the light has been on uninterrupted since Friday August 3rd 2007 till this moment as i write this...

You want me to say CONGRATULATIONS TO THE GOVERNMENT?

HELL NO............

Their negligence caused the power outages so when they seem to give us some respite, they don't deserve any pat on the shoulders..

What i think they deserve is the power puff on their rear end to wake UP from their lazy arrogant snore...

Oh Yes i said it...

GO FIGURE...

I have been silly and unimaginably horrified and disillusioned lately because hard work never seem to pay off in Ghana...


Why me? I always ask the Lord.....

Why this uncertainty?

The ONLY CERTAINTY i have now is that i am going to school and i enjoy it.


Apart from that,,, The less said or imagined the merrier.


What the "F" is the matter with SOME Pastors lately in Ghana?

They are always preoccupied by their self pity or self arrogance.
They assume they only deserve the best things in life or they are the only ones that go through "hell" to acquire the anointing..


Let me say that of a truth that i agree with Pastor Chris Oyakhilome that no one works to attain the anointing of God.
Rather it's God's Grace that we are all alive and each and every born again has God's anointing.

These Ghanaian Pastors should stop boasting of their anointing and focus on helping the needy and poor in the church.

SHUT UP PASTORS and HELP .


Am i going to far?

If you happen to see and know what i see and experience you will understand my rage...

OK

Who cares about my thoughts anyway?
If you care then comment @ the bottom of this post.

I'm writing to myself to let the bubbles of anger be poured out towards the flame for it to be evaporated....


I breath a sigh of relief now..

hmmm...

Now i need a cup of STARBUCKS KWOFEE...

I can hear someone reading this saying: "in your dreams William"

Heavens NO...

In reality i speak my mind..

In DREAMS i win over my lust

In physical do i triumph over my challenges

Hey Hey Hey
I am Myself...

adios..

Just What I feel like writing.......

O for a thousand songs to sing to my soul...
For i have wailed and mourned for the arrival of my heart's desire.

May i say now, of a truth that it is this day that makes my soul weary and wrenched?..

For only Yahweh knows why i have to be this resolute in spite of many calamities.

Dang!!!

I hate to admit it that when D told me they have been reading my blog, i felt a little bit quizzical and nervous @ the same time.

Why?

Because she just GOOGLED my name and the blog popped up....

This damn internet will expose you anywhere and anytime my friends.


Anyway, to come to my usual eclectic gibberish of my temporal insanity in Ghana,

I think Nigerians are the best writers in Africa. PERIOD.

What can the insolent and gullible mind of the so called western described African accomplish in a lifetime?

That was the question asked...

My answer to this stupid question is this:

Whether we are called insolent or nonsensically voracious negroes or not, Yahweh's purpose for Africa shall be fulfilled.


I'm I not tired of this struggle for survival?
Yes I am.

BUT when i chance upon another person's issues, i consider my precious self very very BLESSED.

The word "LUCKY" is not in my dictionary...
Blessed and Highly Favored is what i believe and confess and not being damn Lucky.

What is LUCK?
I seriously need an experiential definition for the word LUCK...

At least I know I am free.
Man suffers through life and dies
Then what's the purpose of us living?



Indifference is the worst disease than death itself.

The Philosophy of Patch Adams is:

If YOU treat a person YOU always win.
BUT when YOU treat a disease YOU always win or loose.

You can keep me from being me.

BUT You can’t control my spirit.

I’m a thorn that will not go away.

Excessive happiness wins over hatred.

I’ve pain to release

I’ve got faith to believe.

Comfort the weary soul...
Smile Upon the heavy Heart
For Faith in You is what holds my fragmented soul
Faith in You is what COOLS My burning heart.

Oh Lord
I am frail yet Resolute,
I am Resolute Yet Compassionate
I am Compassionate yet Headstrong
Headstrong yet Willing to hear from you my Father.

Upon the Hills of Mercy i wail and howl to hear your words to comfort me.

I am Me,
Unashamed
Unshaken
Unmoved
Progressive and also in transition.

"When Your Father Dies"

"When your father dies, he takes with him some part of you and leaves behind some part of him in you".

These were the words of Ken Saro- Wiwa Jnr. on Aljazeera TV Program "WITNESS".


I find it very intriguing.

In comparison to what Yahshua said that He has taken away ALL our sins on the CROSS OF CALVARY.

Before Yahshua ascended to Heaven, he said He will not leave us alone but the Father will send the Holy Spirit to be our comforter.

Very Very profound to think about how Omipotent Yahweh is.

He knew our sins way way... before we were born. Thus the Provision of Yahshua to become our "SIN EATER".

Thank God for Christ.

The TRUTH therefore is, God is merciful and will always be an eternally merciful Father unto a sinner like me .

Praise His name forever.

"WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU "....

"WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU A SHOCKER, KNOW THAT YOU HAVE AN INTERESTING SURPRISE FROM DESTINY"
"RUBI"
I heard this great quote tonight while watching a Mexican Soap Opera "RUBI" written by Yolanda Vargas Dulche.

What The Heck?

Call me crazy but i still wanna talk about this issue of blackouts in Ghana.
It's wierd to say i'm very nervous about my lights not going off last night even though it was my night to sleep in the unusual darkness.

Maybe some miracle rain must have filled the Akosombo dam.

I am not being cynical. BUT being realistic of the fact that the recent media reports indicate that the Dam could be shut down in less than a week.

The so called Tema Generating Plants imported to augment the shortage of electricity seems not to be working.


I personally had the privilege to visit the thermal plant farm in Tema about 3 weeks ago and i saw how slow work is progressing.

Lord have mercy!

I see Him coming in the sky!
In The Sky ASHLEY CLEVELAND, RUSS LEE and 7:01 AM GMT on Spirit 89.7fm

This song probably will give meaning to all who believe in the return of Yahshua to deliver us from this frivolous world of ours.

Police rescue chained 'runaway' bride in Ghana.

Oh how sudden can the innocent be plucked from their innocence into victimization..
How cruel and demonic can the Black African culture get?
Should we wait on the world to change?
I beg to howl a big NO NO NO NO!
We cannot wait for the world to change.
We must fight for the change of these cruel culturally demonic practices to cease.

When innocence and struggle for survival will be insuficient for freedom, how safe are we then?
I thought Poverty and Innocence will make you free in your own world as they say.
BUT now it is clear that the struggle to survive as a Kayayo by the Innocent lady is irrelevant to her abductors.
May heaven forgive us all.
As for this issue, i think Chief Justice GEORGINA WOODS MUST do something about this.
In a broad daylight abductions and murders in Ghana, what next shall we see or hear, to know that DANGER is near.

In the words of the late OLA ROTIMI, " When the owl leaves its nest at noon, danger is near"
When these cruelties happen in such a civilized age, DANGER IS NEAR.

Who shall fight for the innocent and the poor?
Who shall we answer to for the wrongs of the society?
Whose report shall we believe?
The report of the RICH AND POWERFUL or the report of the INNOCENT AND VULNERABLE?

Speak your mind and make it clear for when the innocent is destroyed what can the Nation boast off?
Hold not your anger from the torturers and let them not see the innocent again as their prey for we all must say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
I cannot wait on the world to change but I must be part of the Change.

Lordy Lord! Help the Weary Soul

Oh how liberating life could be when you finish your academic exams...
Now, I'm done with the academic year and feels so liberating not to study tonight.

I am free! I am Free!!

Come to think of liberty and freedom, who the heavens do these Ghanaian politicians think they are?

They claim to care about the people and yet neglect the cry of the masses over their inefficient running of the country.

These politicians are very arrogant and naive to say the least.

On other issue, the Ghanaian society and the communities are laden with contradictions and contrast that is overwhelming to diagnose.

You have the Trassaco, Manet, Regimmanuels as the prestigious communities and yet on the way to these residential enclaves, the roads are TERRIBLY AWFUL and they expect the government to repair these roads for them to drive their Jaguars, Chryslers, Hummers, Range Rovers, Cadillacs, Lexus' on.

How insulting this is to the poor Ghanaian selling Rice and beans on the Spintex Road or the local Hausa Kooko seller or the roasted plantain seller dotted along the routes to these enclaves.


I question the Ghanaian assumptions of Development through Democracy.

Maybe i may be all that wrong about African politicians and their so called patriotism.

They can't even fight their own fight..

We have Bob Geldof , Bono and Jeffrey Sachs Pleading for African debt cancellation.


oooooooh

I'm exhausted somehow but need to continue this battle of the mind soul and spirit to overcome the lustful desires of this mortal body.

HELP ME.. LORD HELP MY SOUL.
