Listening To My Words

Going over my words, written or the spoken that I remember, it's a complex motherland. Because at this life stage, I am not supposed to eat my words. As a chief, it is forbidden that I lick my sputum. But if you have to live within a motherland with a congress of no shame and all gain women and men, you are forever in search of word stick-to-itiveness.

As editor of the Media Monitor, I wrote a few times that no one should be imprisoned for published words. I said that in the belief and experience of living in a motherland where compatriot suffering poverty and disease has often resulted from disallowed speaking or writing the truth.

During the congress rabble rousing over the announcement of final 2008 election results I called to places to shut down Laterbiokorshie Radio-Television Libre des Mille Collines (RTLMC). No one, perhaps rightly, listened to me. However, maybe, just maybe, in response to that inaction, a counter (language and substance) Twi voice emerged at Madina Zongo Junction. The latter certainly looks smarter than the Laterbiokorshie voice of poison.

In all ineptitude, Laterbiokorshie RTLMC went Twi, ostensibly to match the activated Madina Zongo Junction voice. Interestingly, the original capital Zongo Junction is located not far from Laterbiokorshie. So it's like Zongo Junction 2 to match Zongo Junction 1. Zongo Junction 1 Twi RTLMC has now broken every known broadcasting rule and landed compatriots in prison for what they said on radio. It has been spewing you are cockroach if you are not congress.

Congress is so ungrateful you are a sinner if you hand them an election victory they never deserved nor achieved. They will unjustifiably use that very power you gave them against you for handing it to them to justifiably use it to serve a motherland. Congress takes unless it is responsibility. Congress would unleash attack dogs believing it has a compensating heroes fund to cover family of dispatched attackers. It's not smart enough, though, to know money neither buys nor does everything, it's reacting to justice done as unjustly pronounced.

Only warped executive minds would send their attack dogs to bite a judiciary and turn round to accuse the latter for allowing itself to be bitten. Should the judiciary uphold motherland constitution by keeping the dogs away, congress calls it unjust. Congress does no wrong. It lives by 'give me because I will take by force or by stealing or by any of the many ways to kill a cat'.

Congress collective, untouchable congress, has wilfully killed, tortured and maimed compatriot opponents, including their own kin and gotten away with that all.

Congresspeople feel no shame, no remorse, no regret for unleashing venom onto innocent judiciary.

They have sworn to smear and smash a judiciary for as long that it does not always pronounce them innocent from their misdeeds. The only thing that is justice to congresspeople is their injustices to those they consider as obstructionists to their misdeeds. In their twisted minds, everything motherland state is their private possession. So no matter which arm or sector or institution of state, it is theirs to be used and abused to satisfy their insatiable sit-lazy-to-enjoy appetite.

My take of judges jailing people for saying on radio that they will kill and shame judges if they did not give them the judgment they wanted; It's simple. Let the chips fall where they do. If you didn't keep the places where they fall clean enough for you to be able to pick them up in edible condition, hard luck. You spilled them. Chips do not drop off themselves without holder letting go.

You may let go accidentally; still think and know they may fall. Once they fall, they are out of your grip and control.

Congress knows and respects not the least about the boundaries of what is public, not even the national. It's their factional parochial interest that matters. I meant what I said on one World Press Freedom Day that radio, television and all public communication will suffer without effective self-regulation. Everywhere else, means and content are fused to ensure compliance. Congress believes it has virtually all available frequencies for itself. So it has taken the teeth out of the NMC with an NCA hive off, creating a chasm between means and content. Consequentially, everything sanity in communication is no sanity in communication.

We are the freest and least responsible is not an achievement.

To mind my words, I am listening to my words. I saw nowhere the congress latter-day free speech converts when journalists Kweku Baako and Haruna Attah were incarcerated for contempt.  How so unhelpful jail escape for the blatant ministerial violation of oath to defend the motherland constitution by irresponsibly subverting the judiciary's authority with petitioning!
