…left, right and centre
Back in the day, as Napoleon attempted to conquer Europe, he insisted on fighting on only one front at a time: that allowed him to maintain the critical mass needed to overwhelm his enemies singly. Of course, his fatal mistake was to invade Russia, and he became sucked in beyond his supply lines – and paid the price in the Russian winter.
More than a hundred years later, Hitler didn’t just attack Russia (and outrun his supply lines), he decided to attack Britain and fight on two fronts! We know how that panned out, don’t we??
Well, while YOU obviously know the answer, dear reader, it does appear that all the military types with whom Granger surrounded himself to cling on to power believe they can go one up on Hitler on MULTIPLE fronts in battle!! A PNC top brass and company, who’s been put in charge of the operation codenamed “Eagle Eyes” (this is war, baby!!), have decided to attack simultaneously on three fronts: right, left and centre!!
In the centre, the PNC always had their sights on the PPP – their major foe in this battle. They were pleased as a punch when they repelled the PPP’s probing of their soft underbelly (the AFC) with their NCM back in Dec 2018. But the PPP was able to gauge the mindset of the PNC in that manoeuvre, and was ready for a no-holds-barred campaign in the main theatre, called “Elections 2020”. Even though Brigadier David Granger had inexplicably neutered the PNC’s AFC ally, he still felt he could overwhelm the PPP in a frontal attack. He was confident his ex-military sappers could bring out the votes in his traditional constituency to overwhelm and overrun the PPP’s base, whom he figured had been depleted by emigration.
It was a miscalculation that he realised too late – and was forced to pull the Mingo stunt at Ashmin’s!! And this was his fatal mistake. He did the dirty so openly that he didn’t give any of the overseas observers – and the ambassadors – even a fig leaf of deniability to go along with him. They were forced to call him out; and now we have the recount.
But rather than withdrawing and try to regroup like Napoleon, Granger and Harmon decided to also attack on the two new fronts that had now opened up: the US and the OAS on their left and right flanks.
They’ve openly accused the US Ambassador of being paid off by Mercury; and now they’ve accused the Head of the OAS team, ex-Jamaica PM Golding, of being corrupted by Jagdeo!! Wow!!
All that’s left is the fourth front, called CariCom.
Watch out, Mottley!! The Kamikaze brigade is coming!!
…with AFC dummies
It does look like Nagamootoo and Ramjattan have been banished by General Granger to the doghouse in the present recount battle. Nagamootoo always figured himself as a “talk man”, but he’s nowhere to be seen in front of the ACCC, to put a spin on the daily skirmishes.
His sin? How dare he say that the IFIs might be holding up COVID relief because of the “political” contretemps??
But one would’ve thought that Ramjattan would now have been deployed, after the horrible snafus his AFC’s Lenno Craig and David Patterson have been committing. No Goebbels, them!! One suffering from verbal diarrhoea full of inanities and faux pas; the other struck dumb!! They gotta go!! At least Ramjattan was kinda creative with the story of Russian operatives hacking our elections, on his last (and only) outing!! So who’s left? Well, the fella who’s been in charge of the propaganda machinery over at the DPI for the last five years!!
Isn’t it time he serves on the front line?? After all, Nagamootoo doesn’t need a shill in the doghouse!!
…with blanks
AFC’s Patterson insists Mingo’s submitted figures match the APNU/AFC’s SOPs; and as, Granger should be sworn in. But since the recount’s proven Mingo’s figures were inflated for APNU/AFC, doesn’t that mean their SOPs are also inflated??
Terminal stupidity!!
