My brethren, you have spoketh very well in what you have sayeth herebelow.

However, when it come to the part I have lifted here, especially the bolded, underlined part of it,  take me off from your list.

I am one of those few who has never believed at any given time that Museveni would collapse on his own.

But, I am a "minority", and a minority is always voiceless untill somebody thinks beyond and starts Radio Rhino.

Best regards,

Nyar'Onyango

  I have read your short paragraph and I suspect you may be suggesting that M7 is unknowingly operating what may be called an 'internecine project'. That is a mutually ruinous project in which the principle subject destroys himself in the process, if I may add, rather unknowingly. Without patronising your intellect and good intention, this is what makes Hollywood films very successful as the movie makers dangle the principle character precariously as likely to ruin him/herself in the process, to keep the audience gripped. Like most of the movie makers do except, Alfred Hitchcock, the principle character never dies because audience are supposed to conclude that it is only an 'entertainment, and indeed do so, because they pay money to go to the next one. 

  M7 is not operating an internecine project and what the cabal is doing is not entertainment. The audience and seasoned M7 watchers are churning out conclusions that border on conclusion that M7 is a good entertainer and is very thrilling the way he goes about his business of off-loading his opponents, gerrymandering the constitution and re-representing the theory of democratic practices. I am deriving this from a view that, on the one hand there are perceived notions that the M7 is systematically clever and on the other that he will collapse. I may even suggest that value is added to this spectacle by observation and analysis that tends to emit a message that M7 is indeed very systematic, clever and will collapse on his own.

  M7 has been with us for a good part of 35 years, and by subterfuge we have to observe, comment, analyse, insinuate, even quarrel amongst ourselves as he goes about his business of killing, maiming and impoverishing the people of Uganda. We are helping the process of building him up and of keeping him there. M7 is a brute and operates by brutal means. Things that M7 does are being given a theoretical blend by the likes of me, whenever we omit to mention the brutality content in his 'modus operandi' . I am deriving this from M7 own phrase in 1986 that 'now that we hold the treasury, how will they defeat us'. The 'they' M7 referred to were undefined then - any take on this? My take is that after 17 years of  M7's unwitting superintendence over the political affairs of Uganda, ceaseless fighting wars both externally and internally, which has claimed lives of over 10 million people in the region, and now the super-gloss of so called 'third term', M7 is a brute and a killer and you stand on his way at your peril. At human level, I am can only be sorry for those who have accompanied M7 his journey of mayhem and found themselves at a sorry end.

    At the time Museveni was using him on his own people, he did not think that time would come for him too to be a victim of his own contribution.
