Subject: The Cameroon crusade for freedom: In loving memory of President Ronald Reagan,


               " Yea, We Must Be Free"

My fellow Cameroonians

My fellow Africans

My dear members of the free and virtuous nations

My  fellow advocates for freedom, human rights, civil rights and democracy 

Yea, we must be free in Cameroon  I beckon  on all to become fellow crusaders for the freedom of my , country, Cameroon from totalitarian dictatorship and corrupt tyranny into a free and virtuous society  The  clarion call for the freedom of Cameroon was first published in 2009. I also describe it as the "crusade for freedom" . The phrase " Crusade for Freedom"  was once beautiful coined and pronounced  by President Ronald Reagan during a speech he presented to the London House of Commons on June 1982 . In that same year dictator Paul Biya who was Cameroon's Prime Minister under President Amado Ahidjo  was appointed and imposed on us as the President for life. It is more than 30 years today and it is clear to me that some African totalitarians regimes have no ears to listen! So, I have  ears and this crusade for freedom of Cameroon MUST come to past. "The Crusade for Freedom" by  President Ronald Reagan President Reagan's Speech to the United Kingdom's House of Commons, June 8, 1982. "We're approaching the end of a bloody century plagued by a terrible political invention -- totalitarianism. Optimism comes less easily today, not because democracy is less vigorous, but because democracy's enemies have refined their instruments of repression. Yet optimism is in order because day by day democracy is proving itself to be a not at all fragile flower. From Stettin on the Baltic to Varna on the Black Sea, the regimes planted by totalitarianism have had more than thirty years to establish their legitimacy. But none -- not one regime -- has yet been able to risk free elections. Regimes planted by bayonets do not take root..." President Ronald Reagan Dictator Paul Biya of Cameroon and his CPDM-SDF regime are clear enemies of democracy . They chose dictatorship and corrupt tyranny over the democratic process by clinging to power for as long as they are living. Yet, simultaneously, they  run their mouths like parrots that they are democrats. So, take a moment to read and digest the  clarion call( crusade) for the freedom of Cameroon, which  is centerpiece of my advocacy for a virtuous and free society. My dear people; listen to the Voices of the ones who beckon on you; wake up from slumber my people;do  you want to be free from the system of oppression ?                                 Yea, We Must be Free…   The CPDM Party of Cameroon are hypocrites who preach democracy and practice tyranny and dictatorship. In his warp political mind, dictator Paul Biya and his cronies invented something that was terribly strange, a kind of kleptocracy that can only be liken to " l'etat c'est moi"  of Louis the XIV ! In fact celebrated African scholar and author of how to get rid of a dictator", Professor George Ayittey noted in " Why African Dictators stay long in power" that "First, they somehow get this absurd notion that the country belongs to them -- only them alone and their families – and must rule till cows jump over the moon. They act like the despotic French monarch, Louis XIV, who famously declared: “L’Etat, c’est moi” (I am the State)"  Prof George Ayittey Fact is, they are  not entitled to the State or any political organization alone although they have made themselves to be the State Party like a State Religion through hook and crookery. They are bound to the Constitution and evidence point to a grave violation. So, we are right. Any political party, which does not consider the Constitution good enough to be respected must not be tolerated to set a dangerous precedence like the totalitarian despots of old.   The last time that any religion was a State religion was in the 15th century. No More State Parties or State Religions in the 21st century.That entitlement mentality to the State and State Property! President for life! Ministers for life! No declaration of assets for Life? Tyranny, dictatorship and corruption for life! Are we animals or human beings? Oh no,  I am here to tell my people we are human beings made in the same image of those who oppress us.Yea,it is our birth right to be free and I know you want to be free, do you?                                   Yea, We Must be Free   They are not eligible to organize or supervise elections in Cameroon per the Constitution. Moreso, nobody within the CPDM Party is eligible under the current rule of law to stand for any elections in Cameroon because they hasve stolen State property and public funds. They have violated the sacred document, which is the soul and conscience of the State. It is a treason and unfortunate. Nobody should encourage this kind of violation in this century. You must download the Constitutionexplore Articles 1, 2,3,4,5,6 and 66.The Constitution of Cameroon and Article 66 on this site:   [PDF] CONSTITUTION of the Republic of Cameroon Cameroon Law No. 96-06 of 18 January 1996 to amend the Constitution of 2 June 1972 The National Assembly has deliberated and adopted; The President of the Republic ... confinder.richmond.edu/admin/docs/​Cameroon.pdf We, the people cannot continue to be ruled by State Parties, which disenfranchises minorities and opponents in all elections. In Cameroon the State Party has deprived adults at 18 from voting. The make the voting age to be 20 because they cannot win an election, in which young people are part of the largest electorate. They banish young people from making their voices heard! Besides, only about 20% of Cameroonians are registered majority of whom are Pro –CPDM Party, which is the ruling or state party.   Their strategy is designed to rig elections even before they are ever conducted. It is ridiculous that black people would fight for voting rights within the United States around the 60s while in the 21st century some black people within Cameroon are really standing in the way of post-modernism and civilization. I cannot fathom the rate at which people and most importantly young Cameroonians are disenfrachised in that society. Ironically their grand children or children who turn 18 within the United States are eligible to vote.It is wrong to downplay on youthful idealism or technically knock them out of the political cycle and at the sametime expect them to be leaders of tomorrow. Their voices count and we must strive to make sure all people of ages must be registered to vote. I invite Cameroonians yearning for freedom to dialogue with me. I thank those who have been in touched with me either through emails or phone calls. As I said, I am not in the habit of asserting too much importance to myself as the Presidential Candidate for the Transitional Government in Cameroon. I will continue with an open door policy of engaging Cameroonians because it is a great privilege for us to position ourselves as nation builders. Others have taken on this task centuries ago. We have seen and lived the benefits.   This is our own time. We are intelligent and courageous enough to turn a new page of history. We must pursue our vision as people who are moved beyond the stretch of our imagination by the history, politics and ideals of free people. I will unveil the details of the 21 points I submitted for your review by the end of this month. In the meantime, we must continue to rekindle the spirit of humanity from within us so that we must rise us from the desert of defeatism and despair and make giant strides to the oasis of freedom. What thinkest thou about this dialogue?   “Tell me, Socrates, are we to consider you serious now or jesting? For if you are serious and what you say is true, then surely the life of us mortals must be turned upside down, and apparently we are everywhere doing an opposite of what we should”   Calliticles in Plato’s Georgia 481C, from Plato: The Republic  Should CPDM Party protect the citizens of the Republic? So, ifthese folks are instead cynical and clandestinely killing us then of what good is their Political Philosophy and their Sovereignty? I have long believed that there are jesters who have not only turned their own lives upside down but have made us look like we never took a class in History, Politics and leadership. If they are truly doing the opposite of what they should then we must act.   Perhaps it makes sense when white people are fighting for freedom from black people or vice versa but it looks really weird when we, black people are fighting for freedom from own fellow black people. If all what I have been saying is true then the CPDM Party be charged for conspiracy against the Republic. Do you think that the CPDM really like freedom? I will think so because what are they doing all over Europe and North America, which are free societies? Do you think they really know what they are doing? Do you think they really have eyes to see or they are blind people? What sort of people do you think are incharged of that CPDM Party? Do you think they appear very literate but not educated?   Do you remember the Berlin Wall? At 2am on August 13th, 1961 the construction of the Berlin Wall began. In the same year Cameroon finalized their quest for Independence from France and Britain. Since then the Berlin Wall has been demolished and 2009 marked the 20th anniversary since it was torn down. Oh, yea, they gained Independence and then turned around and erected walls of tyranny, dictatorship and corruption. It is about time for the walls of Jericho to fall down. It is about time for the walls of dictatorship and tyranny to fall when the people of Cameroon, people who know God is on their side and they are God’s side to march in faith around the CPDM system.   Do we, Cameroonians still suppose that there is still a wall that separates Africans and the Westerners? I don’t think so because we Cameroonians who are within the Western world have become part of what you call “ The Western World”. So, the first thing that we must do is to quit pointing the fingers at them and rather point them at ourselves and say “ We, the Western Cameroonians”. May be we have become very comfortable with Western civilization and ideals and failing to realize our hypocrisy.    Some of us are here blasting Western civilization and culture and yet are basking under it! Why are we attracted to the way of life of white people and yet when it comes to an effort to export some aspects of it to other societies they start telling us something else? Look at ourselves very well  in the mirror of Calliticles. They always told us when we were young that Western Democracy is different from Cameroon Democracy! How and why should there be a difference and what are we then doing here within the Western world? Oh no, please, you make us feel that we are very fine hypocrites. Do we still want to put up with these imposters or want to be free?                        Yea, we must be free   When the people capture the moment and know that the time has come for them to be free, when they hear the voices of the ones who dare speak on their behalf, my people do you want to be free?  Then we, the people, here and over there, endowed with unalienable and sacred rights, no matter where they are, the people turn around and stir at each other as they rise up and shout at the top of their voices: Yea, we must be free!   Jonathan Awasom To be continued

Cameroon Government's involvement with CAMCCUL breeds foul play because of a long standing culture of embezzlement, theft of public funds and misappropriation : A call for transparency and accountability with the 53 Billion frs CFA...

CAMCCUL stands for Cameroon Cooperative Credit Union League where the interest of thousands of shareholders in the North West Province of Cameroon, Bamenda  may be at stake with the involvement of the notorious corrupt CPDM regime. 

This is  what has ignited  this debate between Mr Fon Emmanuel Ngang( FEN), Mr Boh  Hebert, myself Rev Jonathan Awasom and Mukoi Elkanah. There  is a growing need for open transparency and accountability  as the hallmarks for good governance and the rule of law,which is why I am putting pressure on. 

So, take a moment to appreciate this debate and draw your own conclusions from what you know about the role of government in fostering development and progress but most importantly, why many of us press for transparency and accountability with big corporate financial institutions like CAMCCUL especially when they are involved with the corrupt CPDM regime notorious for being anti- develoment and progress of civil society. 

In short Mr Boh Hebert was very skeptical about this deal between CAMCCUL and CPDM government and I  seconded his skepticism because we all know that the CPDM regime has bad faith in everything they are involved in as a dying system  whose goal these days is to ruin and destroy all viable financial institutions in Cameroon before they crumble. That is why we are mobilizing all forces of progress and advocates for human rights to stand up and hold CAMCCUL and CPDM government( illegal and illegitimate government) accountable.

Herbert, A tiger can never forget its tigritude. The sharp critical journalist in you just kicked in  immediately you read this CAMCULL /BUC connection -  and you are absolutely right . But I am sure you will not blame some of us for being too anxious after reading "hopeful" developments such as these. Well, unfortunately it wasn't any development to begin with  and even if it was, as you said, it could only mean disaster for the ordinary NW farmer as long as it had all of Satan's blessings from Yaounde

Mukoi Elkanah

You claimed to be a trained accountant in the United States of America and here you are speculating on CAMCCUL instead of helping us on how to get to the bottom of this matter! 

Either you are an imposter or an illiterate who needs some serious re-education beyond your treatment for mental disorder.  You are speculating instead of x-raying this matter from a professional standpoint so that people see the disconnect and lurking exploitation.There is lack of  transparency and accountability ,which must be addressed accordingly and not through wreckless speeches. 

We need legal experts as well as economic experts from the civil society to step up with a good conscience and protect CAMCCUL , which might be hijacked by the Bamenda elite in a conspiracy with CPDM regime to manipulate and dupe the majority of shareholders who are not informed of such deep economic schemes. I am an advocate with knowledge of the ethical responsibility of CAMCCUL towards civil society and the CAMCCUL shareholders. So, stop repeating all what we already know.

Here you're claiming to be an account and a Ph.D candidate in some aspect of  Business administration.

One has never  been very clear as to what is your field of studies but I recall you boasting as a Ph.d candidate

You are too full of speculative thoughts,which comes across to one like you are an illiterate 

From a professional standpoint, what is your take on this matter quite apart from the same old blame game?We already know that it is a scheme but what are the professional ways through, which we can hold them accountable in terms of the transparency and accountability? We need a document detailing what is going on made available to civil society and the international community from CAMCUL and not only some scanty new flashes that have no substance .

This is what I am saying. In the economic banking system, we have a savings and checking accounts as the main accounts available to  bankers. One of the accounts, which is the savings account is expected to yield interests for the owner granted that his money can be used for business by the bank owners

Then you have the bank owners who freely sell stucks or shares to people. Can I say that the bank owners are known as stakeholders who may be Board of Directors of the bank. The bank staff constitute the board of management under a Bank Manager.So, the shareholders have certain rights since they have invested into the bank.Here we have CAMCCUL as a CREDIT UNION! Can you help us to understand in detail what is a credit union and how it operates? 

So, if the CPDM Government Delegate is negotiating to draw a large sum of money from the bank and claiming that the amount is earmarked for development projects in the Bamenda Central Urban Council, then to someone like with a deep knowledge and understanding of leadership and business management has the following questions to CAMCCUL Bank Manager and Board of Directors

1) Who are the auditors of CAMCCUL

2) How did the said amount earmarked for development projects  in  Bamenda come about?

3) In what ways are the shareholders and stakeholders involved with this amount?

4) Explain to civil society how CPDM government delegate got involved and is it a loan to the Government?

5) When will the government pay back this loan to CAMCCUL and who is defined here as government?

6) Where is the Budget for the projects for ,which the loan is earmarked?

Budgeting has a  whole new chapter on its own because it has to do with INCOME AND EXPENDITURES IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF PROJECTS AND THE EXECUTORS OF THE PROJECTS

WHO

WHAT

WHEN

WHERE

WHY 

These are some of the basic questions that ensures that we have transparency and accountability

I strongly belief this is a scheme by Cameroon Gov't officials. CAMCCUL is made up of various credict Unions in the Northwest. I just can't belief that the other credit Unions in the other divisions will accept that such an amount be invested only in Bamenda. Take for example, the road to Mbangwi is untarred. Do you really think that the Mbengwi credit Union will accept that their share be taken and used to tar roads in Bamenda when they don't even have a meter of tar leading to their town? I have spoken to some members of the Wum credit Union and they are absolutely unware of such a project. They have vowed to withdraw from CAMCCUL if such an adventure is executed. I told them that, one of the founding member of the Wum credit Union in person of late Pa Moses Akum will be very angry to hear such a thing if they were involved in such a deal. The road to Wum is very bad, so why will they prefer to used Wum peoples money to tar Bamenda instead of looking for their interest? I am on this case and that deal will be disrupted.

For the Record:
CAMCUL is a a combination of credit unions around the country. The fight is on, Biya and his Gov't will not succeed. If they want to spend their millions with farmer's monies in the NW, then what about the other 9 regions? Cameroonians need to stand up against this newly created fraudulent scheme.

Mr Boh Hebert you make a very useful and eye opening case ,which we must not take lying down

The truth is who are the stakeholders and shareholders of  the said CAMCCUL and what is their role in this move undertaken by the CPDM Government Delegate and the Council in terms of their rights?  This kind of political games may not be well known by the shareholders or stakeholders ,which is why we must be concerned. 

While I see with you, I suggest that you lead an action so that we begin to map out a strategy to ensure that we get to the bottom of this matter as a potential human rights theft of public funds, embezzlement and misappropriation and begin to mobilize  legal forces to be ready to prosecute and sentence

Are there members of the SDF shareholders and stakeholders because that can be an opportunity for a social justice activism on the whole platform of the SDF Party. What do you think? I am copying SDF Party with this question

Over to you

Dear FEN,

This is not a "wait and see" matter. The thief is in the house. It's time to cry thief. A roach does not wait in the hope it would be found not guilty in an assembly of hens. This thing is full of cons and no pros. It's a scam that stinks to high Heaven.

To the questions you raised:

1. Don't you think CAMCCUL has figured out how to get repaid.

I hope they have. But, hope is not a plan and it is not a guarantee. If the Cameroon government wants to provide a guarantee, they could have approached an institution like the World Bank's MIGA. The government of Cameroon cannot be trusted to honor its word and pay its debts. Period! It does not matter what it says or promises.

2. This is a lot of money.

You bet! It is the kind of money that a credible government would seek and obtain from a development agency like the World Bank or the African Development Bank. But they have no credibility (firstly) and they know fully well (secondly) that for difficulty of obtaining repayment that even the World Bank does not lend to sub-sovereign entities such as regional or local governments and municipalities.

3. You suggested: I am sure there is a strategy in place for tax payers to foot the place.

Wishful thinking, would be my response. If there is one, let CAMCCUL publish it and let the government say how they intend to honor this one particular commitment when they have never honored any word they gave to anyone. Have they honored their commitment to retirees? Have they used revenue from toll to repair roads, as they claimed? The answer is NO. And this is in spite of the fact that the Road Fund was created at the instigation of institutions like the IMF & World Bank and despite the fact funds from it are deposited with BEAC.

4. Is there no FDIC-type guarantee for deposits by clients in case CAMCCUL goes belly up?

You know the answer, my brother. There is nothing. Nada. Zero. Zip. Nathing. The same government whose goal is to "tif pipul their money" cannot guarantee to return that which they are bent on stealing. They did not return for Cameroon Bank or Credit Agricole. What Yaounde is dojng in effect is asking CAMCCUL to "make erreur for mbotukuh" and provide them "ndamme for ndoss". 

This scam amounts to a run on CAMCCUL engineered by the government. Clients of the institution should not standby and let it happen.

There are questions begging for answers that point to the case I make that this a 419 operation. Among them:

Why is CAMCCUL being made the lender of last resort? Why not the World Bank or the African Development Bank? 

Why has there been all the interest among government officials of all wolf clothing to have control over CAMCCUL the latest show of which was by the last North West governor?

If Yaounde thought the Credit Union was a partner in development, why all the recent hostility towards it? Was it hostile because it wanted to access its deposit and CAMCCUL was not cooperating?

Why has the current leadership of the Credit Union been allowed, encouraged and even blessed to overstay their mandatory welcome?

I can go on, but know there is no need to do so. We are describing a government which survives only by stealing to the point that it robs its right pockets to put the money in its left pockets. It's a government that steals votes even when it is adding up final tallies provided by itself. This is a government under whose supervision insurance companies companies do not even cover what they purport to. This a government that can claim tomorrow that this loan was a donation from CAMCCUL.

Hello Herbert, I would like to agree with you but at the same time,  don't you think CAMCULL must have figured out how to recover its money? That is quite some money we are talking of here and I am sure there is a strategy in place where tax payers will eventually foot the bill as they should. Finally is there no Cameroon version of the FDIC which can insure savings   thereby  making sure depositors do not loose their savings in banks through bad loans? Its good that such criticisms come early so that we know what we are getting into. I am sure CAMCULL must have been advised to study the situation before getting into it.  The figure of 54 billion is definitely not an arbitrary figure   calculated by Rexon Nting, so I think experts on both sides must have grappled with all the pros and cons before making this thing public. Anyway lets wait and see.

It seems Yaounde is finally getting its hands on the keys to the North West Region's candy store. And, as at Cameroon Bank and the Marketing Board, the regime will do what it does best: "chop broke pot".  CAMCCUL holds the bulk of the savings of the rainy day conscious people of the North West Region. Should that financial institution fund the Biya government as this article suggests it is about to do, its members can kiss their hard-earned savings adieu.  There are red flags all over this thing. This is a scam, a 419 scheme that will thoroughly "fey" CAMCCUL and the predominantly poor farmers who bank with it. We must not forget that it was a scam of this nature that sparked some of the revolutions in parts of the former USSR. More recently, a 419 scheme of the same ilk dealt a merciless blow to poor farmers across Benin Republic in West Africa. Can the illegitimate and "tiffing" government of Mr. Biya and the unelected government delegates acting on their behalf tell us if the roads in Yaounde, Douala or Ebolowa were funded by resources drawn from private citizens' savings or were they funded by the state budget? This is a government that does not pay its civil servants for their service and does not honor it's IOUs. It is a government that owes everyone and their grandmother, beginning with me. It is a government that abuses the word immunity. This is a government that runs its own airline company to the ground or is capable of shooting its own planes down. This is a government that collects reparations meant for bereaved families of a crash and puts away the funds in private coffers. This is the regime that has robbed Cameroonians blind for the past 30 years. Now, they have finalky entered the gates of Abakwa town. It is Ali Baba himself and the forty thieves who are knocking on the vault of CAMCCUL and the latter opens at its members' financial peril. I have said my own, as our people say.

This was disclosed at a recent annual general meeting of CamCCUL, which held in Bamenda recently. During the meeting, Bamenda city hall Government Delegate Vincent Nji Ndumu hailed CamCCUL for alleviating poverty, curbing rural – urban exodus, improving standards of living, alleviating poverty and fighting unemployment in the Northwest Region and Cameroon as a whole. He disclosed that the grand councilors of his city council gave him the go-ahead to source for funds to enable the council execute the catalogue of projects in its recently presented strategic plan. According to Vincent Ndumu, CAMCCUL will fund the tarring of 280km of roads within the city to the tune of FCFA 50 Billion FCFA and the construction of the multi-purpose bus station at Up-Station, Bamenda ,to the tune of 3 billion FCFA 53Billion. Earlier, while presenting the city council’s strategic plans to the public in Bamenda, the Government Delegate was hailed when he announced that a canal would be constructed in Bamenda through which all the streams within the city council would be channeled and empty in the municipal lake that will equally be constructed soon. When this is accomplished, all the wetlands of the municipality would have been transformed into dry land suitable for building areas. At the CAMCCUL general meeting, the crisis which rocked institution some months ago was led to rest. The scores of CAMCCUL delegates from all the 10 Regions of the country unanimously shamed the CamCCUL detractors who triggered the crisis. In their 19-point resolution, the delegates vehemently condemned acts of blackmail, sabotage “and the divulging to the public of network’s sensitive information by some credit union officials”. Due to the disruption of CamCCUL network activities by certain detractors of the system in Bamenda, certain issues which are of primordial importance to CamCCUL survival, like the taxation problems, delinquency, the stability of the network’s bank (UBC PLC) was reported to have been neglected by CamCCUL management whose attention is now diverted to resolving these problems, thus leading to serious setbacks in the organisation’s operations. “Promoters of such unscrupulous acts shall be severely sanctioned,” the delegates warned. On the issue of the mandate of CamCCUL and Credit Union Presidents, it was resolved that in the process of amending the Articles of Association of CamCCUL, Model By-laws of the Credit Unions and the Alternate Dispute Resolution Policy was concluded on December 3, 2011 in Buea during the extraordinary meeting of CamCCUL and the credit unions have already started applying these internal laws. The assembly resolved that individual credit unions shall freely carryout new elections using their by-laws adopted by CamCCUL general assembly on the December 3, 2011 in Buea. Credit union presidents henceforth have a 3-year mandate renewable thrice. Comments I really do hope i get the figures rightly!! 280Km of tarred roads in Bamenda!!! This is more than tremendous; this project will go a long way to transform Bamenda in a very short while!! I thank God everyday for the fact that Bamenda indigenes are not appointed to post of responsibility, this way, we are left to feign for ourselves!! These are the results of neglect each drop of several 100frsCFA by thousands being reinvested to build a town! Yaounde will try to kill this project i am afraid!! Please, we should stand as one man to be sure this is not only a dream, but a reality!! Posted By : NGWA | Jul 9 2012 Yes!280km tarred road in Bamenda,so Ntambessi,Mulang,lower Foncha and many more neighborhoods with dirt roads shall be tarred? Too good to be true. I am a DAVID on this one. Posted By : dula dilai | Jul 10 2012 If there is promise for the commonman to start enjoying the fruit of CamCCUL then why should they not join them to be part of a family that wins. Our renouned commercial banks have come and gone with customers money. CanCCUL has proven that they have come to stay with their customers interest at the centre of their business. That is good CamCUL we are behind you. Let others copy your example. Posted By : kanango kehbohng | Jul 10 2012 Regardless of the outcome these are plans that give hope to a people.It unites them and instills a feeling of belonging to a region or nation at large. If projects like these are going on, there is a tendency that people will focus on the progress of the projects and not the bank accounts of the leadership. Unfortunately it is premature to sit down and hope for the best so long as the regime in Yaounde has the power to influence things on the ground. We also hope the Bamenda general hospital would be improved in a way that patients receive real treatment complete with meals, real medical/hospital beds and sheets to go along with it and the whole placed reorgansied so as to generate more revenue for upkeep. The Cameroon people and the Bamenda people especially are prepared to pay their way as long as quality goods and services are delivered.We can eventually be able torefund the loan from The Credit Union as long as every project can be designed to generate money for its own upkeep Posted By : Jonangwa =

A potential new threat to Africa: A new and emerging black power and black supremacy inside America unchecked...are they above accountability and the law?

Why are black voters skeptical about re-electing  the first black President for a second term?  Is the Republic Party the best hope for black people 's quest for freedom ? I am extremely very curious for the following reasons and I  stand corrected !

 

My mantra and platform is inspired by the British Magna Carta( Charter for freedom) for  " A virtuous and free Cameroon society" as  depicted by my blog. I rarely speak up about freedom and rights within the United States because I have paid more attention on the abuses and discrepancies and abuses in our societies in Africa to the extent, which when comparing and contrasting the two continents, it seems to be that everything about the US is rosy and appears as instant gratification until a deeper cross-examination points me to some cracks on the wall of the Union , which always inspires the " Speech of  the Union"

The US has always been about check and balances in human behavior warranting revision and eradication of bad laws that enabled abuse or violation of human dignity. This is what I have come to learn during my stay here in the US as an advocate and actvist for freedom , human rights, civil rights , good governance and the rule of law for our societies. While I have been greatly inspired and fired up with a passion that is clear, there has been some concerns that I always wanted to address with honesty and clarity.

Over the years, the black people inside America have decried white power and white supremacy as a force  for racial injustice and segregation but after all this has changed, now it appears to me that black people are getting away with their own subtle abuse of black power.

I want to  talk about the new threat to us, African people in the 21st century, which is the indifference of the new black power and black supremacy.  I do look at things in  this manner because there is no guarantee that our human and civil rights are certain under a democratic  black President and Party. For this reason, I have remained very  open and vigilant as well as freely opine on some very salient issues that affect us as a black people regardless of where we are now. 

Let us not be blind to the the new emerging black power and black supremacy  inside America, which is also another big problem for us African people fighting for the freedom and rights for our people in the continent. NAACP , Black Democratic Caucus , The Southern Baptist Convention made  up of Pastors and all powerful black elite inside America have lost their bearings and way  too disconnected from what matters to us black people. Yet, some of them  continue to shift the blame to the White people and expecting us to see them, too as victims! Can you imagine that?

I just wanted to set the records straight about all the ignorance that prevail among some of these fellows who have refused to reason beyond their nostrils. I am not supporting one particular candidate for President  of the United States but it is important to encourage dialogue and healthy competition among the democrats and republicans without ,which one party will take advantage of us and become dormant . In a true democratic spirit and in keeping with sound democratic principles that are directed to  protect human rights and foster human dignity, we must hold each other accountable.

You know what bothers me is the staggering amount of money that both campaigns are raising and I have not seen the democratic party that accuses the republican party do anything different about the campaign finance law to curb the kind of wasteful spending we see on negative ads or commercial against each other.

Unless there is a counter political narrative from the other side , I think that people should not try to impose their choice of candidate on everyone because as I have already mentioned, I have a different lens through, which I evaluate these candidates. When oppressed people do find their way to the top, aren't they supposed to have compassion for  others? 

Some of these Cameroonians -American citizens  are too emotional and unreasonable when analyzing the political trends in America and it is scary because they blind- followership leads to oppression and exploitation instead to respect for civil and human rights.

When a Republic is wealthy and rich, it becomes an issue but when a democrat is also wealthy and rich, the democrats are now going to complain that they are more rich and wealthy republicans than democrats. This is the kind of argument that defeats the purpose of truth and justice for everyone in society because I feel like there is some form of miseducation of people in our societies by those who have political power and influence,which explains why millions of Americans have become nonchalant about participation in the American democratic process. 

What I am decrying is the fact that some of these Cameroonians tend to think that their individual choices for Presidency of the United States must be shared by every other Cameroonian but that is  very weird to me for anyone to think that President Obama is the chosen one for Africa while  Governor Mit Romney or any other Republican is not.

If Governor Mit Romney has worked hard for his riches and wealth, why should he be blamed? How about some of  the African leaders who have earned ill-gotten wealth , which comes from stealing public funds meant for the people ? Many black supremacist have become very rich and wealthy through the same capitalistic system that has made Governor Mit Romney rich and wealthy.So, why is anyone trying to  treat the republicans like outcasts among us Cameroonians and African whereas the Democratic Party is no saints?

I am  speaking about freedom and rights of all people and the perpetrators of injustice and gross violation of our civil and human rights are not only the White Republicans because the black democrats are also fast becoming perpetrators of the same crimes that they accuse the white people of. There is nothing like, they are victims because that is an old story as their life styles, position, power and influence puts them in a privilege class. 

The violation of the Civil Rights Movement by the Democratic Black Caucus and Black wealthy Supremacist must be well articulated and circulated with the hope to arouse the conscience of these black greedy and corrupt leaders to wake up from slumber and stop thinking that they can lie to us again.

I know that sometimes you and  I spar on the political differences we have with respect to Cameroon.But by the same token, there are  a lot of common grounds we share around issues that are way beyond political boundaries.For instance, I love your sense of humor and respect of the rights of Alabukam people to have electricity just as the family of Pa Hon Muna and his children  at Nghe-mbo in Mbengwi. It takes very few people with concience to testify against injustice as most people wil turn a blind eye to truth

You know I have been very silent on black leaders lately because I finally came to the conclusion that it is all about themselves and the few blacks who have become black supremacists, too just as their fellow white counterparts that they used to blame 30 years ago. Today, black leaders and black economic supremacists are circulating their wealth they have acquired thanks to the white supremacists only amongst themselves while their black brothers and sisters who  no longer share the same destiny of discrimination are  abandoned! They are going to tell you all kinds of lies about what they are doing to help! 

The black neighborhoods are bushy, dirty and unkempt most of the times because the people have been  physically and mentally abandoned to themselves while the same black leaders and black supremacists are at the forefront  claiming to blame the white people for the plight of the black people in the communities. Look at it, if they truly believe that Rev Dr Martin Luther king Jr is their hero who must be worshiped eternally, why are they piling up riches( gold and silver ) for themselves and living above their means when they have not yet liberated all  black people? 

You can't  walk in a black neighborhood anywhere without counting more abandoned and dilapidated houses than partially good looking ones,which are occupied. The situation is alarming and when we see black supremacist enjoying the capitalism that they were blaming the white supremacists for it and at the sametime pretending that they are fighting for economic justice, quite sincerely, I see that as hypocrisy and sheer wickedness against their fellow black people. Therefore, they must quit blaming the white people for the plight of  the black people unless they change their greedy behavior and do more beyond the usual charity giving that they  used to denounce the white folks for.

Why do they not live modestly and share wealth , that is invest into the black communities and black families?  Remember that these blacks are not like our people back in Africa who have farms to cultivate. So, they have no place to go except turn to the welfare system and it will be a gross exaggeration to expect that all black kids and black families should enter Havard just because it is there for underprivileged families and kids.

I have tried to interact with some of these black leaders and they are too complicated and very protective  of their assumed  powers and positions of control and infleunce.  Many of them  are hostile to new ideas about how things be done and all what they do is just to  become part of the same unfair capitalistic economic system  they blast all the time for economic discrimination in order to also seek out their own profits and sometimes more than the white people who are in similar positions. 

I make not error being frank because we have our destiny being sabotaged by black leaders who can champion the cause for civil rights, freedom and human rights for their own people except constantly playing politics over one or two sensitive issues ,which often are highlighted by the white sympathetic media.

Yet, when it concerns some of us from Africa, they are very silent and afraid to take action because then they say, they don't want to offend their fellow  Democratic white brothers and sisters because we are not American enough.

So, what is the benefit politically to be on their side when they are not even helping their own black people right here in America? The only people who are quick to help us in Africa are the white supremacist republicans who believe in freedom of all people like I do and not just in making peace without justice like the democrats.

I have nothing personal against them especially President Obama. I believe that he can  be re-elected because his charisma and intelligent nature are an addition to his political character. Besides, once a democrat people are democrats and once republicans, people are republicans.

Therefore the people who determine the outcome and winner in every Presidential elections within the United States are always the dependents. I said this when I was responding to Mr Martin Yembe on " My ideal greatest  United States of America".

So, whatever we say, when it comes to the politics of winning, it is completely out of our hands because no matter what the republicans do, their plan is to sway the independent voters because very few die-hard democrats will even pay attention to what they are doing, and of course you are seeing that among some of these Cameroonians who are very emotional and acting like a goat in front of a Television.

By the same token, whatever the democrats do, republicans also have their base just as the democrats. In fact, this is what makes American democracy extremely interesting to me because both the die-hard citizens follow but their party's platform in terms of issues and usually when they do not like a particular  Party nominee for the President, some of them will boycott the election than vote for the other candidate.This was the fate of Senator of John MCcain in 2008 when he failed to energized the Republican base  to the same degree that President Obama did and for that reason, he was defeated. 

The reason why I have taken the pains to explain all these is because I think every African should not be carried away by the  mere fact that we have a black President but must ask ourselves tough questions with regards to what these black leaders are up to with respect to our needs here and also  in Africa? In what ways have they infleunced public policies regarding US African policies? In what ways have they shaped policies that opens doors of opportunity to their fellow black families within the US?

Let us return to the British  Magna Carta , which inspired the US Bill of rights as well as the Civil Rights Movement.

Let us return to President Obama who is a graduate from law school in Harvard.

Let us return to the fact that he read and studied constitutional law

Let us return to the fact that he was raised partly by his mom who fell down through the cracks of the system and perhaps

Let us return to the fact that his father was from Africa

Let us return to the fact that he was first of all a community organizer before a civil rights lawyer who once represented ACORN

Let us return to the fact that he accepted to become a community organizer ,which is not a good paying job for that matter and that in that experience, he lived among the people and understood their pain and suffering

Let us return to the fact that he has constantly alluded to the Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr " I have a dream "  speech

Let us return to the fact that he has always  wanted to identify with President Abraham Lincoln 

Let us return to the fact that he is the first black President and had to overcome enormous challenges and obstacles in his way to become President

Let us return to the argument in the past that a sinking economy was bequeathed to him and it is fair to say that every leader somehow inherits some  unsolved problems and issues from their predecessors

Let us return to the fact that he has been working very hard towards reforming the tax system as well as the big banks greedy attitude on the Wall Street

Let us return to the fact that it is within his right to seek the second term and become a two term President.

In fact, nobody should deny him his civil rights so long as he is within the armpit of the law

However, what law are we talking about here? In 1964 the civil rights movement had to change a bad law into a good law by courageously outlawing racial segregation. Thanks to the 1964 and all those who championed the civil rights movement paving the way for a new  generation of black people who saw golden opportunities unfolded before them as white superior economists and politicians began to share wealth as well as create opportunities for them. At  what point  will black leaders begin to come to the realization that they have become as greedy as the same white people they have accused for more than 400 years? When sent to Africa to oversea elections, some of them have taken bribes and condoned. Yet every year they are pretending to celebrate the civil rights movement and I have a dream ! 

I understand. Yes, I mean the fact that we are all still human with imperfections but it is about time for the black leaders who always want us to believe that they are victims in the hands of the Republican party to show us results beyond victimization.They must enact new laws to abolish;

1) Homeless shelters  operated by black people , which has become a big business of economic exploitation of the system  through their own black people.  In newark alone, there are about 50 homeless shelters operated by black leaders who are shareholders , which means have stakes in the shelters because of the large economic dollars it fetches for them. So, they will never free their own black people  so long as the shelters are operational because they need the system to send people there so that they will make money

2) They must enact laws to abolish and end homelessness in the whole America as a serious human and civil rights issue.

   It is unthinkable that the most powerful and riches nation on earth is very slow in ending homelessness ,which has taken a huge told on majority of black people. In fact the  law to abolish homelessness will mean a lot to these black people who suffered from all kinds of mental and emotional torture as a result of being homeless for years. 

3) They must assume the moral responsibility to begin to hold black kids accountable through some special laws that will ban hanging down their pants in public and treat that as immoral and  public indecency. THEY NEED TO FEEL  A SENSE OF MORAL AND SPIRITUAL OBLIGATION TO EDUCATE THEIR KIDS ON THE PROPER MANNER OF DRESSING AND TO MAKE IT ILLEGAL FOR ANY KID  TO HANG DOWN THEIR PANTS

4) They must trace the source of those drugs that are rampant among blacks. These drugs have a source and it is possible to pass laws that will ban the importation of these drugs in the first place

5) The black  wealthy people should connect. They are too much on TV and locked up in their big mansions.Too often we only get to see them when tragedy strikes. But they should connect with their black people in the communities and seefor themselves what they can do to give a facelift to the broken and poverty-stricken communities.

6) Why are wealthy black people blaming white people whereas some of them are now turning towards africa and doing the same charitable work that white people have been doing since  before I was born? They are also missionaries, philantropists and all what not but what I am saying is , the civil rights movement transcended charity and good deeds.

It was about freedom and rights of all people and these black leaders and wealthy black supremacist must not think that we are blind to their disconnect and greedy life styles. They must humble themselves and help their fellow black people before they can help us in Africa. We have enough in our backward and  if they were helping us to establish good laws in Congress and elsewhere, we will be self-sufficient and will hardly be crying for charity all the time.

Finally, this is Rev Jonathan Awasom and I approve this message under the 1964 and 1983 civil rights act  as well as  the first amendment rights of all  people to free speech. I  stand corrected for all my declarations and testimonies because I have been waiting for the right moment to say this and this has nothing to do with American Presidential elections come October 2012 or October 2020, whatever.  These issues are more about the violation of the civil rights act and movement by the Democratic Black Caucus and Religious leaders who are too comfortable and disconnected.

You see , when I moved to Newark from Minnesota, it was not long I Identified some very serious problems and immediately folded my sleeves and got to work with some consulting initiatives about what we should do differently but that was sabotaged by some black leaders within the city .

I also joined some  outreach community organizing initiative geared towards reforming the school system in Newark known as Partnership for Educational Reform in Newark.I did not hang in there complaining but took initiatives and began to be involved but those who stood in my way  where not white people but some black leaders. I was so frustrated and nodded my head in silence and even more disappointed that some black leaders here in Newark where aiding and abetting injustice against the people in the continent of Africa. 

I can provide evidence but this is  not my point as I know they are still some really good and hard working black leaders and wealthy ones who are making a difference. However, I must be concern and speak my mind because these issues I have raised are very necessary to set the tone for a conversation about what has become of NAACP and Democratic Black Caucus and all the black Religious leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention as well as black scholars? 

Do they really think that they are anymore on the side of the oppressed as it was the case about 30 years ago or they have forgotten what they were supposed to be doing with respect to the  spirit and demands of the civil rights movement that was at the center of black liberation and economic freedom within the USA?

For these reasons, I think that the hatred against Republicans or White people is sometimes exaggerated and uncalled for. I thought I share this perspective ,which I have developed overtime following my experience and perception of the irresponsible ways of the black leaders inside America and the greedy nature of the black wealthy supremacists. It is my hope that they will have a new dream for everyone and not only for themselves as " I have a dream"  was a metaphor for the collective conscience and good, and not for the individualistic benefit. 

To God be the Glory.

I used to think that something will change enormously about black leaders but all of them are in the same game.

So, for this reason, let them  be and do not  insult the other party because nobody is right here.

What is your point ? What jobs have been created in Africa by either person?

Some of you just think that Mit Romney is a devil just because he wants to be President

What jobs did others create in Africa beyond Mitt Romney?

All these millions of dollars being raised are for what?

What is the difference? If Mit Romney was raising millions while Obama was busy spending the money he has EMPOWERING black kids and families, one would understand. HE, TOO IS IN THE SAME GAME FIGHTING TO TAKE THE LEAD IN CAMPAIGN FINANCE and all of them are  exploiting the masses and enrinching themselves and their campaigns in the name of political campaigns

I have a black community school here where the children are short of money just to buy a school Van to go places

and here we have black leaders sitting on Millions of dollars  and raising some more in the name of Presidential camapigns

I am just wondering if this is what the civil rights movement  was meant to accomplish?
