Dangerous…incitement

There’s nothing more dangerous than cornered rats!! While they’ll normally scurry away at the first sight of a human, they’ll not only bare their fangs when cornered – but will actually spring on you and bite away frantically!! And it ain’t just the bite that should worry us – but the various diseases they transmit, such as leptospirosis!! As with most things, humans – being also animals! – are also dangerous when cornered, since they have the same deep instinct for survival!!
And we arrive at the PNC/APNU that was so decimated at the last elections by WIN and the PPP that they’re desperately fighting for survival!! And consequently, it can be dangerous!! We saw an example of the desperation emanating recently from one of their MPs – Black Pudding Man, who had been saved from oblivion as a member of the extinct WPA, which pimps off Walter Rodney’s memory!! He was sent to Parliament by Norton – who’d praised him for being “intelligent” – to design the fatal, losing strategy of not courting cross-over votes!!!!
But Norton also picked and sent another loser – Chicken Man – as the PNC’s Parliamentary leader and this fellow promptly dubbed the 12 PNC MPs as akin to Jesus’ twelve apostles!! So, who was Black Pudding Man in this setup?? Judas?? The answer might just come from his foaming-at-mouth rant when he saw some fifty squatters evicted at Friendship on the EBD!! So, what are the background facts?? It seems that the land was actually PRIVATELY owned and was purchased several years ago by a gentleman named Rutherford, but the title was only passed in 2022! In 2024, the squatters formed themselves into a cooperative and went to the courts, challenging Rutherford’s title to the land.
Judge Peter Hugh threw out their challenge on Sept 25, 2024, and at that point the squatters knew they had to move – but stubbornly remained!! And now that they’ve been evicted, up steps Black Pudding Man, seeking an issue to remain relevant!! Even after other PNC execs had accepted the legality of the eviction while asking for the Government to help. So, how does Black Pudding Man get attention?? Claiming, “I am standing on the side of Black people,” he harked to the heady 1970s and called for “REVOLUTION”!! “Revolution is a process,” he screamed. “They can’t continue breaking down people’s homes… You have to stand up like men and women and stop this nonsense!!”
And who’re the “they”?? Ignoring that all involved, including the judge, were “private Black people”, he made that clear when he continued, “Do you think any Government will concede anything without pressure? It has never happened and it will never happen!!”
This is incitement, plain and simple!! And must be dealt with condignly!! Anil?

…imminent shortage
It’s truly said that “every challenge or setback is an opportunity!!! While some focus on “what isn’t”, if we shift our focus to the “what can be”, then we can create a new paradigm. Take the present case where fertiliser prices had already been rising. With the Iran war blocking the Straits of Hormuz through which a huge chunk of fertiliser feedstock flows, those prices will continue upwards!! And negatively affect the development of our agricultural potential – where we have a tremendous comparative advantage!!
So that’s the challenge! Where’s the opportunity?? That’s staring us in the face since we’ve already accepted bids to produce urea – a fertiliser that supplies nitrogen to plants! – from the natural gas to be shipped ashore via the pipeline that’s already in place!! We have to make a decision sooner rather than later!! But there’s also that second pipeline proposed for Berbice, where Exxon just said it’ll depend on demand for the gas!!
Well… hey!! We and the world need fertilisers!! Get that gas ashore!!

…provocations
Yesterday, your Eyewitness described the contempt Sanction Man showed the courts when questioning how to pay mandated court costs to the AG. Well, he exponentially increased that contempt by showing up with wheelbarrows of notes and coins!!
Jailtime?
