It pays big time to be paranoid. More so when you are involved with the dirtiest trade on earth called politics. In the early days of the Kumekucha blog I took a lot of trouble to craft a fall back plan in the event that somebody would cripple Kumekucha in some way. I even considered the possibility that somebody would assassinate this blogger.
The result is that a number of things were done and I will mention just two. Firstly we created a second Kumekucha site whose only difference in address was the number “1” in front of Kumekucha i.e. Kumekucha1.blogspot.com. The second thing we did was to enable full access to the blog by a few other individuals scattered across 4 continents of the world. This second step meant that the blog would be able to continue even if somebody eliminated the founder.
As the years went by, I started thinking that perhaps I had been too paranoid. But here we are today, on the fall back site of Kumekucha.
So who wants to kill Kumekucha? What are they afraid of? What particular information are they so determined to keep away from the public domain? I answer this question in great detail in my latest issue of raw notes, (how to get that hot issue of my raw notes) however in this post I will give a few pointers.
The stakes for 2012 are much higher than most Kenyans will ever realize. To make matters worse Kenyans are now in permanent shock which makes it difficult for most of us to access and digest the true gravity of the information that we receive. There has been so much shocking news bombarding Kenya in the media in recent times that many have adjusted to the mode of absorbing shocks. And so what would ordinarily be very disturbing news no longer moves most. This kind of situation is very dangerous.
Why are the stakes so high in 2012?
It should be obvious. We have a new constitution that is the process of being fully implemented. But even in its’ current form it should already have had many more casualties than is the case currently. Indeed what is keeping quite a number of very powerful people out of jail is only one thing and one thing alone. And that is the current government. We have a new constitution being steered and handled by the old guard. The masters of impunity. Simply put, the minute the government changes hands to a new order, will be the beginning of the end of some of the most prominent and respectable names known to the Kenyan society today.
These guys will not go down without a fight. And these people are also very much aware of the fact that Kumekucha is widely used as a point of reference by many and a lot of the compromising information on them is available nowhere else but here in Kumekucha.
Then there are some presidential hopefuls running out of time. Some of their close aides will stop at nothing and I mean nothing to make sure that their man ends up in State House in 2012. As you read this former aide to PM Raila Odinga, Miguna Miguna is writing a book that will shake Kenyan politics like it has never been shaken before. Even those Kenyans who are no longer moved by devastating news will be moved by the contents of this book.
Impeccable sources have told this blogger that the main thrust of the book will be to expose Raila Odinga like never before. I have been very reliably informed about some of the details in Miguna’s book and all I can say for now is that folks will never look at the PM in the same way again. But that is a story for another day.
As the 2012 elections draw ever nearer, Kenyan politics is about to sink to the lowest gutters of dirt. What we will start witnessing will make the past look like some kids at play. Oh yes! The shutting down of the Kumekucha site is just the beginning, a sign of things to come. We will even start to see rampant political assassinations (predicted on Kumekucha for a long time).
We at Kumekucha have started taking precautions and even as you are on this alternate blog today, we are making arrangements to rescue the original kumekucha and to also greatly enhance our security. We hope that Kenyans will support us in this noble endeavour.
Find out how you can support Kumekucha and secure its’ future today.

Can you help Kumekucha survive?
Since our inception in 2005 Kumekucha has been at the forefront of Kenyan politics and fighting for change. Most analysts say that the impact this blog has had is sigificant. The truth is that there is no other blog with information that is as explosive as what is contained in Kumekucha.
Little wonder that some people are now very determined to shut down this blog for good. In fact they have succeeded so far because in the last 10 days or so Kumekucha has been inaccessible.
Since inception in 2005 I have never asked for financial help from my readers, not even when I was on the run for my life. But now I have no other option but to appeal to all noble friends of Kumekucha to chip in what they can. It will be deeply appreciated. You can do this by subscribing to my raw notes and telling other Kenyans of goodwill about it and the explosive info regularly published there.
HOW TO ORDER MY RAW NOTES
A great way to donate to Kumekucha is to order my raw notes to discover shocking truths about the people behind the current woes of this blog as well as receive all the hot back issues ever produced of raw notes.

So You Think Ruto Is Winning At The Hague?
My information on the ground is that there has been plenty of anxiety from Kenyans following the proceedings at the Hague last week with many feeling that the possibility of the charges being confirmed and going to trial for Eldoret North MP William Ruto were pretty slim.Legal experts are of course of a different opinion. What wins or loses cases is solid evidence and not articulate lawyers playing to the gallery and what Bwana Ocampo has on Ruto specifically is water tight.
Sources on the ground tell this blogger that Uhuru Kenyatta is a very worried man and is looking to use the opportunity his legal team has had of analyzing the other cases before it is the turn of their client to take to the dock, to come up with a legal strategy that will win the day. Again this is bound to be an uphill task for the son of Jomo who seems fairly sure that he can easily be the next president of Kenya in 2012 if this annoying Hague thing can go away.
All in all what should be of great interest to Kenyans are the revelations that will come out when and if these matters proceed to a full trial. Some of the bombshells will make the oath-taking look like real kindergarten stuff.

Unique Business Ideas In Education
Anybody who has been in business for any length of time knows how valuable business ideas are, especially if they are pretty unique. One idea can change everything. A brilliant business idea whose time has come can take off with limited capital injection and fly on its’ own to such dizzying heights that did not even exist in your wildest dreams.
If you are looking for business ideas in education then this is the article for you. If you are still not sure what kind of business idea you are looking for, then this article is still a pretty good start. Hopefully by the end of it you will be brimming with possible ideas you can implement right away. If not we will direct you to a place where you can get more help.
Education and especially the education of youngsters is a lucrative field to venture into where it is difficult to go wrong. More so if you take advantage of problems in learning that have emerged due to modern living. Experts will tell you that the attention span of kids has reduced dramatically and continues to reduce all the time. It is such a serious problem when you cannot hold the attention of those you are teaching long enough to impart the basics.
And yet learning should be fun for it to be effective. If you are one of those folks who believe that you don’t have to enjoy a subject to learn plenty about it, just look at your own life and you will quickly realize that you tend to be good at the thing you love. Stuff that you have such fun doing that it isn’t work.
The world has become a very competitive small village and chances of doing well at anything are almost nil if you are anything less than brilliant at it, whatever it is.
And so by making education fun for kids, you will be altering destinies and having a huge impact on the young lives you touch. There are few things that are closer to the hearts of parents than the education of their children and most will have no problems reaching for the wallets or credit cards to spend on something that will give their young ones a little help.
So if you are looking for business ideas that will put plenty of cash into your bank account and at the same time make you feel fulfilled, then education is the field to target and go for. Indeed competition here is pretty limited and the market and opportunities are huge. And it hardly matters where in the world you are.
All you need to do is find an idea that makes learning more fun. Anything that turns boring class subjects into exciting adventures for youngsters is gold in your purse. Guaranteed!!

Brilliant Business Idea: Low-cost CCTV Using a Website
Security is a very big issue in Kenya and most parts of the world just now and the situation is bound to get only worse in the foreseeable future. There is plenty of evidence to suggest that many Kenyans have taken to electronics and technology to help protect their property and lives. The only big draw back is the cost. And that is why this idea is sure to take off like a rocket headed for the moon.
These days there are very cheap cameras around (using the same technology as those cheap webcams people have on their PCs.). It will not be too difficult to install these tiny cameras that are supposed to be concealed for maximum effect, and then linking them to a website. Your clients will have access to monitoring their locations by signing into the website. By linking to a website the cost of CCTV comes down dramatically because they don’t need wiring and TV screens on site. It also means that your profit margin can be much higher.
To ensure that your clients still have access even when there is a power outage, advice them to purchase laptops (which can easily stay on for an hour after the power has gone) and then also invest in a small car battery and inverter to provide power for longer periods of power outage. This is important because criminals may sabotage the electricity so as to avoid detection. They have done this in many instances.
Selling System
This is the kind of idea that you can break the bank with and you should not charge too little for it. So these selling systems are NOT designed for those who will charge way too little for it.
a) Install cameras for free at the clients you have targeted. Obtain permission for this and then give them a brief demonstration your fee for the service etc. then book another appointment for a week later to come and remove your camera unless they sign up.
b) Co-ordinate with police stations and get reports of burglaries and break ins in the area where you are seeking clients. Visit these locations to offer your sympathy and condolences and your offer of free CCTV for a week after which the clients will have to either pay for the service or you take away your cameras.
This is just one out of the 101ideas contained in the book 101 Brilliant Business That Will Thrive In Kenya.

Panty revenge and ODM versus PNU politics
While many Kenyans are preoccupied with politics and the battle of wits between ODM and PNU, little do they realize that there are other battles being fought in some homes and workplaces in the country with the kind of venom that would make our political battles look like very cheap stuff indeed.
A case in point is a young woman who recently received a cell phone call from the enraged wife of the married man she is moving around with but decided to teach her rival a lesson that she will not quickly forget.
Seductress Nzisa (PNU)
Sources at the woman’s workplace told this blogger that the woman who is strikingly beautiful and still in her twenties placed her panties in the glove compartment of a car belonging to the man she was moving around with knowing very well that his wife would find them. Apart from being her lover, the man is also her boss at the school where the woman works.
But let me start the story from the beginning.
Benson Mwoki (not his real name) has been married to his wife Elizabeth for over 15 years now and despite their ups and downs, financially the marriage was not doing too badly. Both the man and his wife voted Kalonzo Musyoka in the last general elections.
Trouble however started when the NGO Mwoki had launched about 2 years ago suddenly started taking off like the proverbial rocket. The NGO is supposed to educate disadvantaged children living in slum areas and its’ main project is a school. However it is packed with children from middle class families who pay school fees. In other words Mwoki receives money from donors but also charges school fees at his school. He then takes many photographs which he sends to his donors to show what transformation the project has brought about to poor needy children.
Nzisa (PNU) is in her 20s and strikingly beautiful: She decided to teach ODM a lesson
Mercifully he admits only a handful of genuinely needy children to the school to keep his costs down and his profits up. Rumour has it that he usually tells his donors that he puts more cash into the school from his own pocket than what he receives from his sponsors, a blatant lie of course. That must impress the hell out of those mzungus who keep on sending money every month which goes directly into his pocket and is channeled mostly in the direction of his new found sweetheart, Nzisa while his wife of many years and his two daughters continue to eat sukuma wiki and isyo (maize and beans) daily.
Employees at the school have told this writer that they have no doubt how Nzisa got the job in the school. They say she offered “her assets” which confused Mwoki and enabled her to start on a very high salary. The employees add that she then made a trip to Kitui and came back with a powerful love portion or Kamotee, which mesmerized the previously responsible family man Mwoki into setting up a home with her and her four year old daughter from another liaison. What saddens employees of Mwoki’s school is that Mwoki does not even have proper sofa sets at the house of his first and genuine wife Elizabeth and yet the two sets of sofas at Nzisa’a house look like they are from State House, Nairobi
So let us call Nzisa PNU since hers is an illegal government because Mwoki elected Elizabeth (ODM) long time ago by a land slide that was more than the ODM win in 6 provinces.
So when PNU received a call from ODM demanding that she return the “stolen government,” she was caught unawares. But when she had recovered she told ODM a thing or two warning her to never call the number again. She got carried away so that she was shouting at the top of her voice. When the call was abruptly ended on the other side, she realized that all the staff members in the school were staring at her. PNU, her co-workers told this blogger, does not like losing face. She hates it with a capital “H” and so she decided to teach ODM a lesson that she would quickly not forget.
She secretly took one of her own panties and put them in the glove compartment on the front seat of Muoki’s car. But not before wiping herself in the critical area after one of her regular passionate liaisons with Mwoki. ODM of course found them because that is the very seat she used to seat on every morning as her husband dropped her to work and the children to school. Incidentally these days she sits at the back seat of the car on the few occasions that she is carried in the vehicle and never dares to open the glove compartment.
On discovering the rather “smelly” evidence, ODM of course angrily confronted her husband who had been denying everything up to this point, with the “evidence” and for her efforts received a thorough beating from Mwoki. ODM ran away back to her parents for about 2 weeks but decided to come back for the sake of her children,
Our sources tell us that ODM has been heard telling her friends that she has completely ruled out any possibility of their ever being a grand coalition with PNU and would rather die first. Some Kenyan men have been known to form grand coalitions where all their wives are accommodated under the same roof.

Can You Find Hidden Profits in Your Business?
What really makes the difference between a really profitable business and one that never comes anywhere near its’ full potential? I will give you a clue; it is something that Google does... a lot.
The difference I am talking about is simply this; there are those entrepreneurs who are constantly trying out new things and there are those who are terrified of risk—any small risk. In my time I have met many of the latter type. Such people have no business being entrepreneurs if you ask me and indeed many of them no longer are. Those who are still in it are limping along 20 years later. I have also met a few of the former type, actually they are very few. Too few true entrepreneurs.
Admittedly if you are reckless enough to keep on trying new things on your already profitable business you are bound to fail many times and naturally this is very embarrassing. Indeed if you carefully examine Google, you will discover that it has had very spectacular failures in its’ continued “reckless” efforts to always try out new things.
But out of every 99 “reckless” failures comes one spectacular success that cancels the failures and gives you untold wealth and profits. Oh yes, it happens all the time. And that, you can be sure of. The problem here is that most folks who call themselves entrepreneurs don’t have the stomach for those 99 failures. In fact you should ask yourself a simple question; have you tried out 99 new things in your online business over the last year? Over the last 5 years? Okay that is too many. Have you tried out half that number? 25 per cent of that number? That is precisely my point and it is the reason why there are not too many Googles around.
Consider that Google is a $US100 billion company that did not exist barely 12 years ago. Here is what the founders Sergey Brin (37) and Larry Page (38) had to say in September 2003 in a talk they gave to hundreds of Israeli students at a high school in Israel.
“Have a healthy disregard for the impossible… You should try to do things that most people would not.” –Larry Page.
“The only way you are going to have success is to have lots of failures first.”
-Sergey Brin
Google is not a $US 100 billion company for nothing and they have done a lot of interesting “reckless” things. The propensity to take risk on one hand and the fear to risk anything is the huge difference between entrepreneurs who limp along and those who reach the moon.

Article Marketing Strategy During A Recession
Things are usually very difficult during a recession. For starters everything becomes that much more difficult meaning that you have to dramatically multiple your efforts to get the same results you got before the recession came calling.
Multiplying your efforts in most cases will also mean multiplying your budget and the money you spend on your article marketing campaigns. For instance if you usually use the services of a ghost writer to generate your articles it means that you will have to pay them much more to do many more articles for you to get the same results.
The good news is that with the right article marketing strategy less effort will yield more for you… even in the worst of recessions. It may be hard for you to believe but you can get the same results during a recession with less articles than the ones you were using before the recession came. No kidding.
There is really just one simple thing you must include in your article marketing strategy.
You must have a system for harvesting email addresses from your articles.
Each article you produce in your article marketing campaign will get read by a handful of your targeted audience. If they are not ready to buy whatever it is that you are selling right away or are for some reason not fully convinced, you will have lost them for life.
This is why it is absolutely crucial that you find a way to harvest their email addresses. When you do this simple thing, everything changes dramatically. It means that most of the readers your articles get, no matter how few, will end up in your email list of prospects and you will keep in touch with them regularly. The more you familiarize yourself with them, the more willing they will be to purchase from you whatever it is that you are selling.
How do you legally get their email addresses? By simply offering them something valuable like a free report, an ebook or even a user’s manual for your product or service that they will receive regularly via email. Even frequent updates of your special offers can prove to be valuable to your target audience depending on your industry and the product we are talking about.
While it is true that it is a lot of hard work to maintain a list of prospects that you regularly send out emails to, the simple solution is an auto responder which automates most of the process. There are free auto responders out there that can do amazing things for you.
This is the most important single thing you will ever do in your article marketing strategy.

It may be hard for you to believe but you can get the same results during a recession with less articles than the ones you were using before the recession came. No kidding.
There is really just one simple thing you must include in your article marketing strategy.
You must have a system for harvesting email addresses from your articles.
Each article you produce in your article marketing campaign will get read by a handful of your targeted audience. If they are not ready to buy whatever it is that you are selling right away or are for some reason not fully convinced, you will have lost them for life.
This is why it is absolutely crucial that you find a way to harvest their email addresses. When you do this simple thing, everything changes dramatically. It means that most of the readers your articles get, no matter how few, will end up in your email list of prospects and you will keep in touch with them regularly. The more you familiarize yourself with them, the more willing they will be to purchase from you whatever it is that you are selling.
How do you legally get their email addresses? By simply offering them something valuable like a free report, an ebook or even a user’s manual for your product or service that they will receive regularly via email. Even frequent updates of your special offers can prove to be valuable to your target audience depending on your industry and the product we are talking about.
While it is true that it is a lot of hard work to maintain a list of prospects that you regularly send out emails to, the simple solution is an auto responder which automates most of the process. There are free auto responders out there that can do amazing things for you.
This is the most important single thing you will ever do in your article marketing strategy.

Article Marketing Strategy: The Email Secret
Did you know that your email account contains a powerful article marketing secret that is capable of having a major impact on your online promotional and marketing efforts?
Imagine for a moment that you were a salesperson for the product you want to promote using article marketing. One of the most effective ways to sell is to master the conversation you usually have with prospects in the selling process. These conversations contain stuff like the questions your prospects usually ask before they buy and the objections they raise before they finally make a purchase. Obviously they will only make a purchase after you have successfully put their doubts to rest. Because the truth is that no prospect will buy from you when they still have some misgivings, doubts or unanswered questions.
For an online business this fascinating conversation goes on via email. If you have a business then you usually receive plenty of emails from prospects. The emails will ask questions that are not clear on your website, doubts that your prospects have about what your product can do for them and so on. In your email outbox will be the answers that you give to your prospects and customers. This is without doubt a gold mine that most people who use articles to market their businesses often ignore. But at least a few smart webmasters use these questions and answers to update their FAQ (Frequently asked questions) section on their websites.
This is the perfect section of a website to start your article marketing from. Especially if you want to sell more from doing less writing of articles. I have had experiences in the past where a single article created from frequently asked questions has sold a promoted product beyond my wildest expectations.
The longer your business has been around the more “conversations” you are bound to have in your email account which means you should be able to generate more articles But even if your business is new take heart because we are talking about getting a lot of traffic and clients from writing less articles than folks usually write. In other words you don’t need very many articles to start enjoying the fruits of your article marketing. You can create your own FAQ section even before you start having real customer enquiries. This can be done by anticipating what your customers concerns will be.
Articles are much more powerful than most folks realize and if written using the powerful marketing strategy revealed in this article you will without doubt end up very pleasantly surprised about the results.
