Agonizing to reinvent the dead horse Woyane is futile

by Teshome Debalke

Woyane is dead horse and every stooge knows it. But, like anything dead the real and imagined memory lingers long after from letting it go. For those that benefited and built their life around its criminality it is difficult to let go than others that don’t know any better. Therefore, coming up with all kinds of excuses to hang on to the dead is expected.

Naturally, goodwill of any entity long gone would keep people going in the human experience. But, Woyane has none; driven by the ideology of Apartheid, the economy of extortion, the rule of terror and the dialog of deceit, noting could be worthless than that.

Under such awful record is where the stooges are agonizing to resurrect and reinvent the dead Woyane and, it is not pretty sight. What is even more comical is their audacity to recreate it into something different altogether using the same old methods.

This is where human nature gets ugly beyond return to miss the opportunity of atonement. The inability to accept reality is time tested human behavior to the bottom and, the stooges of Woyane are a classic example.

Let’s not celebrate too much on expenses of the stooges. We all have the moment of illusion at one time or another in life. But, once we see reality hits home we won’t make a jack ass out of ourselves.

But, Woyane stooges keep pushing the envelope stuck with the dead horse to nowhere. Instead of abandoning illusion for the reality they keep attempting to resurrect or reinvent the dead to something else that it is not.

That my people isn’t normal state of mind even for stooges of any dictatorship.

Quite frankly, I don’t think people know what Woyane injects its stooges to behave the way they do but, it is not funny and we must prepare ourselves for the worst.

The fact the masterminds of ethnic Apartheid calling our people terrorists from their hidings is a good indication the stooges are in a state of denial of the reality to keep riding a dead horse. The fact the officials are hiding from the public whispering with imaginary Al-Qaida or with the ghost of their dead leader is an indication they are in the illusion of living in the afterlife. The fact they believe anything they are told as the holy truth is an indication their brain is wired with Apartheid ideology and the trickledown economics of corruption. The fact the stooges trumpeting Hi-ha and dance around the dead horse on the Media is another indication of bubbling head working its tricks not to accept the reality with grace.

I wish there was easy way for the stooges face reality in their bubbling head. It is like living in a sand castle and crying foul when they wake up in a pile of dirt. The 19th century British poet and scholar A.E. Housman put it best when he said ‘The house of delusions is cheap to build but drafty to live in’.

Drafty it is, and the last thing the stooges should do is agonize over when reality slaps the devil out of them on something that was doomed from the start. Congregating with their bubble head comrades to find an easy way out of the reality won’t help either. As the Arab proverb says ‘Lying and stealing are next-door neighbors’ or as our own proverb says ‘አባቱ ዳኛ ልጁ ቀማኛ’. Most hopelessly, blaming others in a make-believe propaganda is a poor excuse to nowhere. In short, any way you shake it or bake it Woyane is a dead horse that need quick and unceremonious burial to move on.

I know…I know it is hard to swallow when decades of living in a bubble comes back to bite you on the ass. But it beats living with the poison, and the possibility of honest and honorable life.

By the way, the stooges of Woyane shouldn’t feel lonely in a world of bubble heads. Most of Africa is full of stooges like them. That is why most Africa is a laughing stock and the basket case of the world. Like them, the best bubble head stooges of dictatorships can come up with is recycle begging and stealing to call it growth and transformation.

Therefore, every time they open their mouth to insult our intelligence remember, It doesn’t even require fake diploma to understand no nation grow and transform by begging and stealing. Thus, facing the reality: Woyane is nothing but professional beggar and a thief with no honor or goodwill is the first step in the right direction. As the Indian proverb says ‘A thief is a thief, whether he steals a diamond or a cucumber’. Better yet, the German proverb says ‘set a beggar on horseback, and he’ll outride the Devil’.

What I say is not a political statement or an insult, it is the reality. I am simply passing on the message. Agonizing to label me terrorist, anti this-and-that or kidnap and jail me is not going to change the reality nor revive a dead horse into something worthy.

Therefore, my advice to the stooges, particularly the Media operators is simple. There is no honor serving or apologizing for Woyane except riding on a dead horse to nowhere. The truth is the only salvation for the stooges. As Mark Twain ‘said, ‘if you tell the truth you don’t have to remember anything’.

If you can’t handle the truth; you have a vested interest on a dead horse to insult and terrorize your way out of the reality. The only hope is living in hiding with stolen money a life of a fugitive.

Speaking of stolen money, the bible says ‘stolen bread tastes sweet, but it turns to gravel in the mouth’. That is preciously why Woyane stooges speak with both side of their mouth. Surprisingly, the big thieves are hiding while the little thieves are screaming the loudest.
As the Swahili proverb says ‘the company of a thief is a thief. Therefore, when you see two or more stooges come together to talk about anything ask; what good would a summit of thieves besides planning the next heist?

Watching the online Media lately, I can’t help notice the agony the stooges go through to make-believe of their heist and find good distractions from the reality. The long buried ‘dear leader’ along war drum with Eritrea is back. The last distractions (the imaginary Grand Ethiopian Renascence Dam and Growth Transformation plan) that brought out all kinds of pseudo PHDs from the woodwork is no longer useful replaced by the dead tyrant’s legacy and war with Eritrea. The aim is to change the narrative from the ongoing discussions and mobilizations of Ethiopians to oust Woyane. Closer look on the usual Medias down playing the reality on the ground into entertaining the new detractions will intensify.

The agony the stooges go through to cover up the crimes of Woyane to preserve the distractive force is admirable. As irrational as it may look for many, such nonsensical dedication that requires predisposition to embrace criminality make it happen, criminality rules.

Don’t blame the messengers or those that pay the ultimate price to fight criminality but those that agonize over how to make everyone criminal to make Woyane look good.
