SV: {UAH} PRESIDENT AMIN FAMILY RESPONSE TO "LUWUM HOUSE" STORY.

Ndugu Okuonzi Ronald,

I am interpreting you correctly or not? Common, are you trying to say that the late Archbishop Janani LUWUM was murdered because he had committed political crime against the AMIN regime?

I have tried to go through your piece which seems full of innuendoes and now I am going through it for the fourth times but I cannot make heads as well as tails out of it! Please try not to be semantic about it in the name of God the Almighty! I think your being Ronald means you are a Christian!

When you kill one Person , then you have the prospense to kill more and continuously more and for ever to protect yourself only. The World is known for that after A.D  >> ( A.D PERIOD IS A WHITE MAN'S PERIOD WHILE B.C IS A BLACK MAN'S PERIOD .<< : JUST TAKE A VISION TO THIS CONCEPT BY THE WAY ) ; that is including of the so called Religion Leaders (Wether Christians , Moslems , Catholics etc --- etc  --- did it and continue doing it / or are implicated , doing it in this A.D period which has never made the world any better than of the B.C period  . We must turn to our foundamental Religion / Pagan belief being described by the white supremacist now  to safe us the Blacks / or The MOOR PEOPLE in the Code of Faith they placed for the Humanity to follow and this is the code of Ma'at , we the Blacks / or the Moors followed and continue to guide us till todate :

The order of the Seventy seven or 77 Commandments are as follows :

The Advancement of  Human Consciousness is evidenced by the development of a Cosmic structure that the Ancient Egyptians called  MA'AT . This system was handed down from the Gods to Man and the King of  Egypt or ( later being called Pharaoh by the Arabs who came to Egypt ) was the personification of  MA'AT .

MA'AT is the Egyptian Goddess of the Physical and Moral Law of Egypt , of  ORDER  and TRUTH . The aim in Ancient Kemet ( Egypt ) was for a person to become One with the Goddess . The path to the development of Goddess - like qualities was through the development of specific Virtues .

Each Soul was judged in the Hall of  MA'AT ( depicted in the ' Book of The Dead ' and Book Five of ' The Book of Gates ' ) when they died . The Heart ( conscience ) was weighed against the feather of  MA'AT ( an ostrich feather ) on scales which represented Balance and Justice . If their Heart was heavier than the feather because they had failed to live a Balanced life by the principles of  MA'AT their heart was devoured . If , however , the heart Balanced with the feather of  MA'AT they would pass the test and gain Eternal Life .  At certain times it was ASAR / or AUSAR who sat as Judge in the ritual , and many other Deities were involved in the ceremony , but the scales always represented  MA'AT .

In the weighing of the wrongs done in this life against the  INTENT of the Heart , MA'AT makes a distinction between SINS and TRANSGRESSIONS . A sin was considered a violation of  the Laws of the Gods and Goddesses . That is , Laws pertaining to the Ordinances and Requirements which the Gods and Goddesses had given for their worship . Transgressions on the other hand , were offenses against fellow mortals , their possessions , or the Earth / or that portion of the Earth on which we live . Therefore , sins were against God or Goddess , but one's transgressions were against mortals . All transgressions may be forgiven , but not all sins .

MA'AT is also the God of  Balance , Rythm and the  Cycles -- the Primal Laws of the Universe that  SUPPORT CREATION  and prevent it from falling into chaos . The GOOD and the  " NOT GOOD " moved the  Cycles of the Universe . The Good and the not Good came out of the Same Source , the Void , the Sekhem , the Source of Infinite Potential and Love .

In this crucial role She stands for BALANCE and HARMONY . Her power was beyond the Leaders or Kings of the Ancient Egyptians' who declared themselves Beloved of MA'AT and upholders of  Her laws . There were Seven Cardinal Principles / Virtues of MA'AT to achieve human perfectibility .

These Principles are :

TRUTH
JUSTICE
BALANCE
ORDER
COMPASSION
HARMONY
RECIPROCITY
Woman is the LAW - GIVER and Man is the LAW – ENFORCER .

MA'AT as a Spiritual Principle , is more than Justice , it is DIVINE JUSTICE , personified in the Goddess , (NTRT) MA'AT, who exemplifies the  ETERNAL LAWS of the Universe as , RIGHT and TRUTH .

These Virtues encompass all of the following :

(1) .   Control of  Thoughts ;
(2) .   Control of  Actions  Devotion of Purpose ;
(4) .   Have faith in the ability of [ your teacher ] to Teach [ you ] the Truth ;
(5) .   Have faith in [ yourself ] to Assimilate the Truth ;
(6) .   Have faith in [ themselves ] to Wield the Truth ;
(7) .   Be free from Resentment under the Experience of Persecution ;
(8) .   Be free from Resentment under the Experience of Wrong ;
(9) .   Cultivate the ability to Distinguish between Right and Wrong and ;
(10) . Cultivate the ability to Distinguish between the REAL and the UNREAL .

MA'AT transcends specific Ethical Rules ( which differed according to different Times and different Peoples) and instead focuses on the NATURAL order of things  . That being said , certain actions were clearly against MA'AT as they increased the effect of chaos and had a purely negative effect on the world .

In addition there are 42 Negative Confessions also called , " 42 Declarations of Innocence " or  " 42 Affirmations of MA'AT  "  . They were 42 in number because there were 42 " Nomes " (called Districts / or known as States of today ) in Kemet  Arabic - Ancient Egypt  ( Holy Land of Tameri ) being called or known at that time . But not Egypt of today of the Arab / European Creation after destroying Kemet .

These principles have been termed "Negative Confessions" because they usually begin with the negative , " I have not  " .  However , these Principles of  Right and Truth , are in fact AFFIRMATIONS of what one has not done in this life to live by MA'AT .

The seventy seven , 77 Commandments of Kemet ( Encient Egypt) and the 42 Affirmations are the original source of the Ten , 10 Commandments of the Bible , and the Lesser Commandments of the Books Deuteronomy and Numbers . They are known as  " The Divine Code of  Human Behavior  " .

Haji Ahmed kategregga ,

 

I have never been part of the NRA- the only regime that has killed more Ugandans and other innocent people in the Great Lakes region than Idi Amin did. An estimate puts Idi Amins's victims at 500,000, whereas Rwandan cut-throat Kayibanda Museveni is conservatively estimated to be responsible for the genocide of 11 million people altogether, as follows: 500,000 in Luwero District (1980-86); 500,000 in Eastern Uganda, particularly Teso (1986-1995); 2 million in Northern Uganda (mainly in Acholi, but also in Lango); 1 million in Rwanda (1986- to date); 300,000 in Burundi (1986 to date) and  7 million in DR Congo (1986-1995), and 1 millioin since then through proxy wars. Kayibanda is also partially responsible for the slaughter in South Sudan of 2 million victims, and in Somalia of an estimaated 1 million.

 

To date, kayibanda has not apologised to any of his victims and, to make matters worse, shows no signs of ending his blood-soaked and murderous occupation of Uganda or abandoning his barbaric proxy wars on behalf of his American paymasters in South Sudan and Somalia any time soon.

Frank Mujabi,

This Jarunga son of Amin is a fool. He keeps writing on behalf of
so-called AMIN FAMILY when there is nothing of the sort. The so-called
Idi Amin family is just himself. His sisters, one in London, and the
other in Sweden, have both publicly denounced Idi Amin's atrocities.
They did this on a widely publicised TV programme where they profusely
apologised to the victims of their father's atrocities. Myself and
millions of other Ugandans accepted their genuine apology for the hurt
and suffering their father caused to millions of Ugandans, including
an estimated 500,000 that he slaughtered. Jarungua's other brother in
Uganda, Taban Amin, has  also tried to reach out to victims of his
father's brutality- he even went to Lira and Gulu, scenes of the worst
atrocties of the brutal tyrant,  and asked for forgiveness. So what is
Jarunga writing about here? He should write for himself, and not for
the Amin family. He can surely look for the TV programme made by his
sisters if he wants their views of their father- there is no secret
about that. This idea of gruesome revisionism, of trying to paint a
monster as a lamb,  or a Mother Teresa figure is so absurd and
abhhorrent and is especially insensitive to those who sufferred so
much under the barbaric misrule of one of the cruellest and sadistic
human beings to have ever lived.. Jarunga should allow his father's
victims to rest in peace, and stop parlaying his stupidity and idiocy
on this forum.

If we ever come back to power, we will put Jarunga on trial for
glorifying Fascism. The Germans already have suuch a law that punishes
revisionists and neo-fascists who would try to glorfy the crimes of
Adolf Hitler. We will never allow any programme of fascist restoration
in our country. We are already figthing day and night to end the
Rwandan occupation, and we dont want to be diverted by puerile
nonsense and loads of raw sewage about a brutal dictator by a brain
dead nimwit. Jarunga should be aware of our determination to expunge
Fascism completely from the landscape of Uganda. And we shall
introduce capital punishement for the worst miscreants and purveyors
of Fascist restoration in our country. Amin is a ghost who will never
rise again from the dead. We want to expunge every remnant of the
notorious tyrant, and not be reminded of his brutality and psychotic
barbarity.
