WHY THE U.S  HAS ACCURATE INFORMATION ON GEN. KALEKYEZI

CHANGE OF GUARDS - Following the recent sanctioning of Museveni's Gen. Kalekyezi over human rights abuses, corruption and trafficking in prohibited drugs and wildlife products, some gullible Ugandans have expressed doubt on the accuracy of the USA's profiling of Gen. Kalekyezi.  For the doubting Thomases, here is a living brief on how the CIA operates in Uganda.

Retired CIA senior officer, Darrel Blocker took charge of intelligence gathering in Uganda for two years.  In his own words, his job description involved "spotting, assessing, developing and recruiting spies to help keep our nation safe."

Blocker who arrived in Uganda in 2003 for another overseas tour in the service of the CIA, was to use the cover of being a vocalist with the local Kampala Jazz All-Stars band to carry out his mandate of spying.  Owned by another U.S citizen, Logan, the band started in 2001 and mostly played at the popular night club, Bubbles O'Leary's.  Blocker used his skills to easily join the band as a vocalist.  Interestingly, of all the places in Uganda outside Kampala,  in 2004 the band performed in Soroti (see pictures)!!!

The entire band was comprised of two Ugandans, two Congolese, the American founder and lead guitarist and then Blocker - the spy.  The band played to top class locals, diplomats and Expatriates.  As a cover, Blocker told his colleagues in the band that he was employed by the State Department and attached to the USA Embassy in Kampala.  Blocker, who stayed with the band for two years, now confesses that it provided him with a suitable cover for his intelligence gathering;
      ".......performing on stage exposed me to a whole lot more people than I would have only met at the diplomatic reception.....my singing  expanded my circle of political contacts.  My clandestine activities were enhanced by being viewed as a singer, because who would ever think that one could be both?  That is a leap too far for most and I honestly feel that it kept me safer by being in plain sight.  My singing expanded my circle of potential contacts to pursue."

He remembers spotting some of his assets in the audience during performances;
    "......you just learn not to show any more interest in them as you would anybody else.  They know and you know that you should avoid each other as much as you can."
Blocker, whose 32 years security services career ended in 2018,  started as an intelligence analyst with the Air force before joining the CIA's clandestine service as an Operations Officer and Chief of Africa Division.  In August 2019, the CIA honoured Blocker with the Distinguished Career Intelligence Medal - one of the highest honours bestowed upon career intelligence officer.  Blocker is now with the ABC News as a News Contributor.  This story was carries by the same media house on September 8, 2019 at abcnews.go.com [READ THE FULL STORY AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS].

Since the Museveni regime has been obsessed with the alleged spying by Rwanda, will it now go after the U.S.A after this self confessed spying by the former senor CIA officer.  A 2011 leaked US Embassy diplomatic cable by Wikleaks revealed that Capt Mike Mukula had secretly met some officials of the US Embassy with whom he shared information pertaining to
Museveni's dwindling popularity within his party and that he was grooming his son as his successor.  He went ahead to advise that he should not impose his son on the party and the country before warning that such a move would have a backlash.  He went ahead to disclose that he was advocating for the restoration of presidential term limits and that NRM's support in Buganda was dwindling.  Since then, relations between Museveni and Mukula have never recovered.

Therefore, the State Department has many ways of acquiring accurate information that laid the foundation for sanctioning Gen. Kalekyezi.

INFORMATION IS POWER AND THE PROBLEM OF UGANDA IS MUSEVENISM
