THE TRIUMPH AND IMPACT OF FREE SPEECH: THE LAST STRAW ON THE CARMEL'S BACK




 

Fellow Cameroonians and concerned citizens of the human family of free and civilized  people
Members of the beloved civil society International
 
 Part One
 
 
The triumph and impact of free speech ( First Amendment Rights of all  people)
 
 
Permit me speak about  how a  humble and bold persistence on the virtue of truth, free speech, courage and love for humanity  has inspired and energized as well as empowered Cameroonians the world over to be enthusiastic about politics for the first time since 11 years ago in the Diaspora.
 
We have become the thorn in the flesh of a collapsed system whose center can no longer hold. They are just having a lot of hard times dealing with their creepy images appropriately tarnished abroad by the power of free speech and can’t seem to realize that the hand writing is on the wall. I am referring to the CPDM regime of Cameroon.
 
A regime that is helpless and trying everyday to figure out ways to stop the unstoppable free speech movement in this tech savvy epoch! The Cameroon government is not tech savvy and for this raeson they cannot catch up with the rest of us riding  very high along with this  revolutionary age of "tech savviness"
 
Diaspora refers to all of us who left Cameroon and found new hope overseas as a result of either religious or political persecution. I was one of the many persecuted by both the church and government  and although it never stopped while I have been on political asylum within the USA, I thought I define what I mean by Cameroon diasporans.
 
The pen and courage to speak up, and to stand up to President dictator Paul Biya and his CPDM establishment in Cameroon while on political asylum mesmerized Cameroonians who at first were skeptical and afraid to speak up publicly against the corrupt tyranny/ dictatorship in Cameroon for fear of persecution and retaliation on their families in Cameroon.
 
Free speech is a critical tool for assessing the methods and practices that bring about socio-cultural and political transformation of every soceity. To consider free speech as a catalyst for change  is simultaneously acknowledging God as the ultimate source of free speech. God gave us the freedom to communicate freely because by human nature, one's true feelings are best validated in the art and act of free speech, which is why our ideal soceity is endowed with what is called " The First Amendment Rights" , which I have claimed since I was born.
 
I was born and raised under an extremely primitive Cameroon society where free speech was never tolerated at all. I mean at all because when you dare, all the old men and women in any position of power would come after you ! They did to me, although I gave them some  HARD TIMES by fighting back and since then I went on rampage with an unending protest against mediocrity, injustice and ignorance among those who claim to be our leaders in Cameroon .
 
It was even worst when one was regarded as a kid who was NEVER EVER supposed to answer back to their seniors in any position of power, authority or influence either in the government, church or cultural associations. Unfortunately, I was born free and did not know that they had a disease of intolerance contracted from our inherent primitive autocratic multi-ethnic soceity. So, I went about my freedom( free speech) without knowing I would one day step on their toes unconsciously!
 
But most importantly, I must talk about the impact of this free speech on the political landscape of Cameroon at home and abroad. Truth be told, the illegitimate and illegal government of Mr Paul Biya are cajoling their rubberstamp Parliament to pass a bill tabled into their ghost parliament, which will make it a crime for Cameroonians overseas who criticize government officials!
 
What does this tell you,  they can’t run the show anymore .They can’t stop the truth and the last resort is engage in a desperate goose chase because first and foremost they have no mandate to make any such laws. The CPDM regime is selling after the market. The times are different and I totally understand that there are bed ridden now by anger, fear and confusion to the point where they will do really some dumb things like trying to pass a law they know has no bearings. If they want to make new laws, they should first of all obey the old laws. First things, first !
   
Come to think of what political asylum within America can do for those oppressed in Cameroon? It is the only reason why I have called for a virtuous and free Cameroon since 2007 when I first launched the campaign to change the Cameroon corrupt tyranny and dictatorship.
 
Since 2009 when I first launched a vision composed of 21 points for a virtuous and free Cameroon against the backdrop of systematic political change to last for 24 months, I never looked back to wonder.Instead, with the help of many  Cameroonians and friends the world over , this  vision catapulted into the Cameroon Diaspora for Change
 
The advent of my unprecedented announcement to seek the Presidency of Cameroon and the launching of virtuous and free Cameroon ( google virtuous and free Cameroon)which became an online sensation among Cameroonians reminded me that one does not have to be living inside Cameroon before one can infleunce genuine change! Unless we pose to celebrate the victory that has accrued from the untiring advocacy from all fronts, our detractors would continue to downplay on the impact that one has made
 
Virtuous and Free Cameroon was birthed from the believe that Cameroon will remain a one and united nation under God as one people from different ethnic backgrounds. I launched CAMDIAC before Virtuous and Free Cameroon with a powerful Manifesto outlining with clarity the nature of the vision for freedom and democracy.
   
I was born with free speech! It is free speech that has embolden me to become a voice for the oppressed and deprived of Cameroon and Africa.I speak and write freely as I choose and believe, in what is right or against what I believe is wrong. I have never had to consult any government or Church officials both in Cameroon and the United States whether I should speak up or shut up!
 
There have been persons in my life who wanted me to seek their personal opinion about speaking up but sooner or later they came to  to realization that before I was born free speech had been around since the days of Jesus Christ,Socrates, Plato, William Shakespeare and the Founding Fathers!
 
A writing spree, which underscores the importance of free speech has enabled me to send a strong message to people with power and in power that even though they have been cracking down on me for free speech, I was never going to bow to them! Free speech is the best gift to man who is born free and endowed at birth with the right to life and to live under a free government and free people.
  
Truth be told, those who  are lagging behind the changing fortunes of our time realized that I am no coward and will never be one. Since there is no turning back, the last resort to them is to engage in negative free speech against the truth. So, here is what I downloaded from the internet!
 
 
While waiting for Part Two, here is what I am talking about   as seen below;
