Israel now occupies more of Lebanon than Russia occupies of Ukraine. But of course that's a 'good' invasion. So there is silence.

Dear @Thomas_Tayebwa, you recently told @ubctvuganda that some of us fled to the West to solicit sympathy and funding. You contrasted us with what you described as law-abiding Ugandans--like Besigye and Ssegilinya--who remained at home and trusted the courts. That statement would have carried more weight if it had come from someone who had spent the past several years compelling the Executive to obey those same courts. Instead, it came from the D.Speaker of a Parliament that has perfected the art of watching constitutional failure from the comfort of leather seats and opulence. Your confidence in Uganda's courts is fascinating. You declared that arrest does not deny a citizen his day in court. That proposition is correct in constitutional democracies where court orders are obeyed because they are court orders. Uganda has developed a more imaginative legal tradition where a judicial order is treated as an opening bid in negotiations with the security services. Release orders become optional. Production warrants become decorative documents. Bail decisions are respected only when they coincide with executive preferences. Lawyers spend increasing amounts of time enforcing judgments that should have enforced themselves. The constitutional crisis is not that judges occasionally err. It is that obedience to judges has become discretionary. Parliament has watched this evolution with remarkable composure. The office you occupy has a constitutional purpose, it is not a commentary booth. Parliament exists to legislate. If there is persistent institutional failure, Parliament is expected to identify it, debate it, and remedy it through legislation. The chair you occupy does not merely confer prestige. It imposes responsibility. Take Uganda's foreign service. Kenya and South Africa have a Foreign Service Act. Their diplomatic services operate within statutory frameworks that define recruitment, discipline, professional standards, training, and accountability. Uganda has nothing comparable. None. It operates more than thirty diplomatic missions across the world without a modern legal framework governing the institution. Appointments of political rejects and bumlickers remain the norm. Career diplomats remain the exception. Embassies continue to occupy rented premises that should have been purchased decades ago. Ugandan missions periodically appear in international headlines for unpaid rent, gambling, domestic violence, unpaid taxes, financial irregularities, or administrative dysfunction. Abuja became embarrassed by rent disputes. Kinshasa nearly seized Ugandan property over unpaid obligations. Copenhagen generated allegations that public funds had been shared among officials as though diplomatic missions had become investment clubs. During all these years, where has Parliament been? Where is the Foreign Service Bill? Where is the statutory diplomatic academy? Where is the competitive recruitment system? Where is the legal limitation on political appointments? Where is the performance evaluation system that permits Parliament to question why an ambassador has spent four years attending receptions while attracting neither investment nor meaningful bilateral cooperation? Where is the legislative architecture expected from an institution whose primary business is legislation? Instead, Parliament consistently demonstrates extraordinary efficiency whenever legislation expands executive power or narrows civic space. Time is always available for politically convenient bills. Urgency appears instantly whenever the Executive whistles. On 8 July your House readily entertained proposals concerning the internal leadership of the Opposition. In May it enacted the Protection of Sovereignty Act, creating sweeping criminal offences carrying penalties of up to twenty years' imprisonment and enormous financial sanctions. Parliament never appears to suffer legislative fatigue when restricting citizens. Exhaustion becomes visible only when institutional reform is required. You also dismissed Ugandans in exile as people seeking sympathy abroad. That observation reveals an unfortunate misunderstanding of economics. The Ugandan diaspora contributes billions in foreign exchange every year. Families survive because relatives abroad pay school fees, hospital bills, rent, and daily expenses. The Bank of Uganda records these inflows as remittances. Economists regard them as an important source of foreign exchange. Only politicians describe them as begging. It is one of the few instances in which financial data loses an argument to political nincompoopism. Your remarks also overlook a basic constitutional principle because citizenship does not expire at Entebbe Airport. A Ugandan in Berlin, London, Toronto, Johannesburg, or Washington remains entitled to criticise the government that claims authority over his citizenship. Exile alters geography, does not extinguish constitutional rights. Indeed, many governments have been corrected first by those they forced to leave. So the issue is not whether exiled Ugandans speak too loudly. The issue is whether Parliament has spoken loudly enough when constitutional violations occurred at home. History rarely remembers those who mocked victims, it remembers those who prevented victimhood in the first place. The chair you occupy was never intended to function as a broadcasting studio for executive talking points. It exists because the Constitution expected Parliament to legislate, supervise the Executive, and protect the public interest. Those responsibilities remain. They have merely been neglected. Until they are performed, lectures about patriotism from the Speaker's chair sound less like constitutional leadership and more like a building inspector praising a house whose roof has already collapsed. By the way, how did you sleep after seeing your former Reform Agenda comrade collapse in court, and be admitted to the ICU? Did you put yourself in his shoes? Rukirabachwezi, the Oracle of Mpororo

Peter Watts wrote about something like that in his excellent book Blindsight. Creatures that are invisible to humans because they exploit a flaw (or feature?) of our visual system called saccades. “In Blindsight, human vision is not continuous. The eyes make constant rapid jumps called saccades. During each jump the visual system effectively shuts down briefly because the motion is too fast for the brain to integrate cleanly. The brain then stitches isolated “freeze-frames” together and edits out the blanks, creating the subjective illusion of a continuous, stable world. Anything that moves only during those brief gaps is ignored by the visual system and remains effectively invisible. rifters.com The Scramblers are extremely fast, radially symmetrical, nine-limbed (starfish-like) anaerobic organisms that live in/around Rorschach. They lack centralized brains and true consciousness/self-awareness, yet they possess enormous distributed neural capacity devoted largely to controlling their complex musculature and sensory arrays. They can detect individual human optic-nerve firings from across a room, integrate that information into a real-time crypsis strategy, execute precise motor commands, and halt the movement before the observer’s eyes come back online—all on timescales far shorter than ordinary mammalian nerve conduction. rifters.com

When Iran launches missiles at U.S. military bases (which are clearly valid military targets in a time of war), the action is described as a "surprise attack" to insinuate that the attack is somehow unethical or immoral. Yet when the U.S. launches surprise attacks on Iran, including attacks on civilian schools, or assassinations of Iranian leaders, or the bombing of critical civilian infrastructure, those are called "strikes" to imply they are a routine, justifiable part of warfare. When it comes to the actual moral code of what's happening in this conflict, the U.S. consistently proves itself to be immoral and unethical: - The U.S. launched the illegal war in the first place, even though Iran posed no imminent threat to the U.S. - The U.S. deliberately targeted and bombed a school with 170+ young girls (children), then double-bombed the target when parents and teachers showed up to try to rescue their injured children. - The U.S. has repeatedly invited Iran negotiators to travel to a negotiation site, and then bombed them or used explosives to kill them, while blaming Iran for refusing to negotiate. - The U.S. has no intrinsic right to control the Strait of Hormuz, located nearly on the opposite side of the planet as the United States of America. If that were true, then Iran would have the right to control the Gulf of Mexico. - Trump routinely orders the U.S. military to strike civilian targets like bridges and power plants, committing act war crimes under U.S. law, while claiming he isn't bound by any laws or rules at all. - To avoid requiring Congress to declare war, Trump pretends that each military action lasts only 60 days, at which point he declares the action to be concluded, and then the next day he declares a new action has begun, thereby stringing together a series of 60-day emergency actions, effectively usurping the power of Congress and concentrating the power to wage war in the hands of the executive (himself). While the war grows increasingly unpopular, Trump betrays the very Americans he is supposed to represent, and he pursues actions that most Americans find abhorrent. Summary? The U.S. actions against Iran are illegal, unethical, immoral, unjustified and place the entire world at grave risk of famine, industrial collapse, economic depression and social strife stemming from those conditions. Trump and Hegseth both need to be removed from office and prosecuted as war criminals. In a world of real justice and peace, perhaps they would share a jail cell with indicted war criminal Netanyahu.

One of the hooded JATT operatives who came with Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi to court, in full possession of some of the tools that are regularly used in torture sessions - gun, pliers, hammer, axe, knife, etc. Talk to past victims and they'll tell you how these items have been used to make citizens wail at the weight of torture- if at all they live to tell the story. These operatives even had the audacity to enter the court room, fully armed in this manner! That the judicial officer could not condemn them and instead punished Hon. Kivumbi with a long remand period is telling. UGANDA WILL BE FREE.
