To him that is rich, becometh he a magnet for fancy toys. Life is good, especially with some doses of apple at your beckoning. Be rich. Be inspired.

Focus is a great movie. I had the privilege of watching the special screening last night. In it you will rediscover the Will Smith you obviously fell in love with when you watched Hitch. As a con-man he was suave and brilliant. He does his homework before he sends out his disciples into the fields. He understands the psychology of the human mind and preys on the emotions of his victims. He makes you (the observer of his manipulations) believe he is a two-bit unintelligent and prideful risk-taker until you see the emergence of his sheer brilliance as he led his over-confident victim to the kill. As an advanced contemporary con-man, he utilizes state-of-the-art technology and the best wizkid in the block to up his game.
The movie is just a classic and evokes all manner of emotion in you as you watch through it. At the end of it, you will laugh and be rest assured that you got value for your money. Focus is the movie of the now for those con artists who wanna dare and sharpen their wits. Screening of the movie at the cinemas commences tomorrow February 27th. Go get your ticket!
The message is so clear, America. Black lives do matter.

Outgoing senior Obama adviser John Podesta reflected on his latest White House stint last Friday, listing his favorite moments and biggest regrets from the past year. Chief among them: depriving the American people of the truth about UFOs.
Now, I have no doubt that many people out there believe that we have extraterrestrial beings living among us. The CIA told us what they want to regarding Area 51 and whatever goes on out there but we can make an educated guess. Cant we? It doesn’t hurt.
We know they are out there. Those that read the Bible must’ve come across the Book of Daniel Chapter 2. In the 43rd verse, while interpreting to King Nebuchadnezzar the meaning of his dreams which involved the sighting of a statue made up of different metals, the Book of Daniel gave a hint about extraterrestrial beings living among us when it said “….they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men.” If they are not the seed of men, then they are not humans. If they are not humans, then they are extraterrestrial beings.
But the pertinent question here is: what difference can the official White House disclosure confirming what we already know make in the common man’s life? Can it put extra Dollar in his wallet? Can it fix his broken marriage? Can it pay the hospital bills? There are knowledge that destroy. The people that invented classifying information are very smart people because they know that there are some information that society at any given time CANNOT handle or be able to stomach. Some information creates panic. Panic can lead to chaos. And chaos can lead to anarchy and disorderliness in a society. And when there is anarchy in the society, the government as we know it, for all its shortcomings will phase out and extreme measures which may be employed to bring order back to society can produce absolute rulers in positions of power.
What can we do if we all come to the knowledge that there are extraterrestrial beings dwelling among us already? Seek them out? They may look and clothe like us. Presidents most times, in order to keep them sane, are protected ( I do not want to use the word denied here only because it connotes higher authority to that of the president’s, which is not applicable) from privileges to certain information that the state control. Because presidents are men subject to all manner of human emotions including fear.
Governments or call it administrations come and go. But the state remains in place and will protect every information they think is worth protecting in order not to unleash tangible fear in the society.
What will take place will eventually take place. There are certain things that we can’t change or preempt. And certain information are better left alone to the select few who can handle them.
Let the debate continue…
President Obama, just like every other human can misspeak and sometimes let slip some lines that are not thoroughly thought through. From his ISIS-JV team analogy to his ISIS-European Christian crusaders comparison, it is obvious that one of the smartest man to have occupied the Oval Office has problem with drawing equivalences. However, Obama’s remarks is not the reason why ISIS and Boko Haram are perpetuating evil of unprecedented magnitude. Organized religion is the ace that have turned to a menace.
European Christian crusaders killed in the name of religion. They desecrated Africa. They ransacked communities, exploited natural resources, and stole national treasures of African nations and shipped them back to Europe to build their continent. They killed anything and everything that stood on their way to their looting. In Wilbur smith’s book, Men of Men, we saw the brutality and single-mindedness of the British when it came to the exploitation of Zimbabwe immediately Cecil Rhodes came to town. They dethroned kings and exiled them, they sacked villages, raped communities, and laid waste towns. They took over their diamond caves and mines, they killed and maimed in the name of stones, and their avariciousness led them to break the bonds of friendship and kill even their own friends who challenged them to the moral values they thought they knew them for. They killed the young and they killed the old alike. Their viciousness was immeasurable. Their barbarism unquantifiable. They were, simply put, terrorists.
These happened in the colonial days era. But it is still happening by proxy in contemporary Africa through fifth columnists who will rather enrich their own selves than have their own country develop. We see this in Congo DR and other West African countries rich in natural resources that the European tech companies depend on for raw materials to build their wares.
Anyways, this is a topic for another day. If Africa should open its arms to vicious Europe to continue to exploit Africa and steal the wealth of its posterity from her, that is Africa’s problem. And we will tackle this issue objectively in our subsequent essay.
ISIS
ISIS is a terror organization peopled mostly by Muslims of Middle East origin and to a lesser number, their western recruits who they brainwash and indoctrinate to follow the ways of evil. Everybody knows that. ISIS is mostly a Middle East problem because they have already declared their territorial ambitions and their goal of forming an Islamic caliphate carved out of nations in the Middle East. Everybody knows that also.
Now to a significant degree, ISIS has become America’s problem too, because, first, like al-Qaeda, they have the capacity to export terror to the United States, despite President Obama’s preliminary assessment of their resources and capacity to do so when he erroneously equated them to a JV team. Secondly, by killing Americans, ISIS challenged America to action. And ISIS is getting a reaction from the United States of America. Is the reaction proportional? That is up for a debate. Will ISIS be defeated and decimated as Barack promised, without a defined strategy? That is up for debate too. What is not up for debate though is the imprudence of the 14th paragraph of President Obama’s remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. on February 5, 2015 wherein he drew a parallel between the contemporary terrorism ISIS is waging on humanity to the terrorism waged by European Christian crusaders in the past.
By David Ignatius
Niccolo Machiavelli, perhaps the shrewdest political philosopher in history, believed that great events were shaped by luck — or “fortuna,” as he called this unpredictable force of life. The same actions might produce success or failure, depending on the whims of the goddess Fortuna.
You wouldn’t know it by listening to gloomy commentators, but the United States has been extremely lucky of late. Its inherent economic strength has become more obvious. Meanwhile, its adversaries have suffered reversals — some of their own making, others because of bad luck.
With this advantageous position, the United States can afford to think like a superpower. It shouldn’t rush to make concessions to weaker nations or to gain agreements that aren’t fully ripe, as may be the case with nuclear talks with Iran. It shouldn’t be shy about helping its friends or making its adversaries pay for their reckless behavior, as in dealing with Russia’s aggression in Ukraine.
It’s a diabolical piece of luck, too, that the Islamic State, which poses a deadly threat in Syria and Iraq, has taken the hideous action of burning alive a Jordanian Muslim pilot. Millions of Arabs are outraged and calling for revenge. With this death-cult action, the extremists have done more to undermine their standing than a thousand U.S. bombing raids or a million State Department propaganda tweets could have accomplished.
Americans are always asking why Arabs don’t denounce atrocities committed in the name of Islam. Well, it’s happening now. “Barbarity,” screams the headline in the London-based Arabic newspaper Al-Hayat. “Vicious,” says the emir of Kuwait. A “brutal, heinous crime,” says Saudi Arabia. The United States shouldn’t raise its voice louder than the indignant Muslim world. Restrain the rhetoric; use force invisibly; act like a superpower.
To understand the current “correlation of forces,” as the Russians like to say, let’s look at some evidence about American economic power gathered by Goldman Sachs last month in a report titled “U.S. Preeminence.”
First, GDP growth: From the peak before the 2008 financial crisis, the U.S. economy has grown a further 8.1 percent in real terms, compared with declines of 2.2 percent for the euro zone and 1.1 percent for Japan. The gap between GDP growth rates in fast-rising emerging-market economies and the United States shrank from 6.5 percentage points in 2007 to 2.6 points in 2014, and it’s expected to narrow further this year to 1.2 points as China slows.
