My Dad's View 
~ by ~
Hénock Gugsa 

My dear departed father had an unambiguous theory about people.
He told me that their personhood is predetermined by the manner they come out of their mothers' wombs.

•    The greedy people emerge with one hand out in a grasping manner,
•    ... the lazy people show their buttocks to the world first,
•    ... restless people slide their feet out first,
•    ... the talkers come out with their mouths open,
•    ... and last, but certainly not least, the thinkers present the top of their head (their scalp) slowly and they begin using their brains immediately!

There we have it all explained away the Ethiopian way!

The Cult Leader ~ by TPO



The Cult Leader 
~ by TPO ~

      He is now a full-fledged "cult leader".

     His followers are no different from the followers of Hitler or Charles Manson. It is especially disheartening and shattering when you discover people in that camp are personally known by you. And some of them were people you thought were more intelligent and sensible. The men are not unlike mind-bent zombies, and the women are like the "Stepford Wives" who parrot their husbands!

     When he orates, he is getting shriller and bolder and more dangerous-sounding by the day. 

     He gaslights all the time ...

     - he tells blatant lies
     - he denies he ever said something , even though you have proof he did
     - he uses what is near and dear to you as ammunition. eg. the flag, 
       patriotism, religion, etc.
     - he wears you down over time
     - his actions do not match his words
     - he throws in positive reinforcement to confuse you
     - he knows confusion weakens people
     - he projects
     - he tries to align people against you
     - he tells you or others that you are crazy or criminal ... and ...
     - he tells you that you and everyone else are liars !
