MUCKRAKER is very happy. Unusually happy! Why shouldn’t anyone, who is sick and tired of ruthless dictatorships masquerading as democracies across the globe, rejoice when the good Lord finally answers the prayers of brutally oppressed people?
In the past, Muck, whose faith in the good promises of the Lord has always sustained him, has urged his compatriots never to despair, reminding them that nothing in this world lasts forever. Surely, the end comes to everything.
This past weekend, the good Lord proved faithful when He answered the fervent prayers of Venezuelans in a way that, in His own wisdom, was best. His ways are never our ways; His thoughts are never our thoughts.
In a classic case of sending a thief to catch a thief, dictator Donald Trump decided to abduct fellow dictator Nicolás Maduro, to the consternation of the whole world! That is the Lord’s doing. He does not play by human rules.
Just as He once hired Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, to be His servant in dealing harshly with Judah, He can use anyone and anything to achieve His good purposes.
This is a lesson for dictators everywhere, those who rig elections and brutalise their people to cling to power, that there exists a greater power capable of bringing their misrule to an abrupt end.
Like many dictators before him, Maduro “won” the 2024 election with 30% against challenger Edmundo González’s 67%, while other credible opponents such as María Corina Machado were barred by “the system”.
It is happening all over the world. Dictators pervert the people’s will and then hide behind claims of sovereignty long after their moral mandate to rule has expired.

It is at such moments that God answers prayers in whichever way He chooses. When He instituted leadership, never did He introduce elections, democracy, or sovereignty.
He appoints leaders according to His own purposes. What He demanded instead was justice and righteousness.
Very few of the leaders protesting Maduro’s abduction can pass scrutiny on these two conditions. They should, therefore, count themselves very lucky: Their continued “leadership” is by grace, not by right.
The good news is that Maduro was sold out by the very goons he surrounded himself with. The other piece of good news is that he relied on Chinese and Russian weapons for his defence.
For those already on US sanctions lists, their mischief is well documented. The dossiers are on the madman’s desk in the Oval Office — dossiers of deeds they vehemently deny in public, hiding behind sophistry, casuistry and technicalities, yet knowing in the private forum of their own consciences that the allegations are more than true. The events in Venezuela place such dictators firmly on notice.
One thing is certain: The events of the morning of January 3 put a damper on our own 2030 project. And the fact that the boy is now spending more time on those shores does not help matters.
If we did not have lithium, chrome and a dozen-plus other minerals of the future, we might have felt a little safer. But we do, and worse still, many of these strategic minerals are already in Chinese hands, much to the chagrin of the Americans.
As for our own natural resources, already privatised by Zvigananda, in the unlikely event that a Venezuela were to happen, few Zimbos would mourn.
They do not benefit from these resources in any way, be it land, minerals, wildlife or otherwise. It is the political and military elites, together with their Chinese and Russian cahoots, who would feel the loss.
Muck the super-patriot
Issues of faith and philosophising aside, suppose the gods went mad and madman Donald Trump announced the date and time his Delta Force would arrive to do a Maduro on one of our own.
How many Zimbos are prepared to join Muck, the super-patriot, in forming a formidable human shield to prevent the abduction?
How many love Owner so deeply that they are prepared to die defending him? How many cannot imagine life without the blessings he has bestowed since the onset of the Second Republic?
How many of those who celebrated the fulfillment of all the promises made since that night in November 2017 are eagerly awaiting their extension to 2030 and beyond — so much so that they cannot imagine a future without this blessing?
How many proponents of Project 2030 would turn up to fend off an invasion with bare hands, should there not be enough weapons to go around?
Would it not be just like the story of Jesus Christ, where even Peter, who had vowed that no such thing would happen in his lifetime, ended up denying three times that he even knew Him?
Hopefully, Muck will not find himself a lone figure, single-handedly trying to keep the dear Owner safe and secure.
Not Anymore?
Muck hopes it is not true that The Party is now seized with the emergency of disowning Anymore Zvitsva, the Guruve serial killer, because the credible evidence adduced so far points to him being one of its reliable, prolific and committed members.
It is not called a bloody party for nothing! By the way, whatever became of Mhondi4ED?
Liberation
Lest Muck be accused of harbouring jealousy, he hereby sends heartfelt congratulations to war veterans’ leader, Cde Douglas Mahiya (60), who took advantage of the holidays to wed his 24-year-old sweetheart. Is this not some of the good things that the, obviously, former child soldier died for? To be able to liberate everything and anything in this country?
