Arguing…for the money 

Listening to the arguments of Sanction Man’s legal team in front of Magistrate Judy, your Eyewitness was reminded of an anecdote about JP Morgan – the man the largest bank in the US of A is named after – who made his original fortune (rather ruthlessly) in railroads and steel during the 19th century. It seems on one occasion, a lawyer told old man JP that there was no legal way to do something he wanted!! Morgan looked bleakly at the lawyer and said, “I don’t know as I want a lawyer to tell me what I CANNOT do. I hire him to tell me how to do what I WANT to do.”
The lesson was clear. As one of the richest men in the world, JP could hire any lawyer he wanted – since he could pay more than anyone else. If this lawyer didn’t want to do the job, he could find someone else who did. He felt – based on his experience – that law was no different from any other field in which he’d made his money. The Golden Rule applies: “Whoever has the gold makes the rules”!! But Sanction Man and his shills are discovering that while lawyers can be bought and sold – it ain’t necessarily so with the law!!
Basically, what Sanction Man’s shills have come up with to get him off the US (sanction) hook is to argue, as lawyers say, “in the alternative”. Meaning they throw out all sorts of “reasons” – even contradictory ones like the kitchen sink!! – as to why the court should rule in their client’s favour!! One famous example of arguing the alternative had to do with a fella accused of borrowing a kettle and returning it broken. His defences were: (a) I never borrowed it; (b) it was broken when I borrowed it; and (c) it wasn’t broken when I returned it!!
In Sanction Man’s extradition proceeding, his shills argued (a) that there’s no extradition treaty between the US and Guyana, (b) there’s a valid extradition treaty, but its amendment is unconstitutional, and (c) Guyana’s GRA was defrauded by Sanction Man, not the USA – and he should be tried in Guyana, where he can drag it out in the courts for decades!! Well, Magistrate Judy – being the no-nonsense woman she is – would have nothing to do with any of those Hail Marys!
The matter before her is simply to determine whether there’s enough evidence presented to show he MIGHT’VE broken some American laws – and that if he’d broken those laws in Guyana, he COULDA been tried for the crime!!
If Sanction Man really wants true justice, he should be tried for breaking Guyana’s laws after he serves his time stateside!!

…for orderly oil sanctions
Back in the 19th century what was called “The Great Game” was played by Britain asserting her sphere of influence in Western Asia vis-à-vis Russia. Today, a week after the US unilaterally declared the Western Hemisphere to be within ITS sphere of influence, Guyana was smeared in a demonstration of that policy. The US seized a super tanker that was transporting oil from Venezuela – violating their sanctions!!
It seems that the tanker – known as Adisa in 2022 when it was first cited for violations and controlled by Nigeria-based management company Thomarose Global Ventures LTD and owned by a Russian oligarch – was flagged as Guyanese!!  FALSELY, according to MARAD!! The operation to seize the tanker was one for the movies – an elite boarding team from the US Coast Guard’s Maritime Security and Response Team, along with Marines deployed by helicopters from the USS Gerald R Ford!!
Your Eyewitness believes the two million barrels of oil in the tanker are Guyana’s – because of the false flag crime!!

…for human rights
On Human Rights Day your Eyewitness thanked God we weren’t in Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, or Congo – or closer home – Haiti and Venezuela. In the latter, one-quarter of the population had to flee.
