Fighting… Mad Maduro

Some of you Dear Readers might think your Eyewitness got Mad Maduro on his mind…and you’d be right!! Cause while most of our attention has been focused on our internal political contretemps, Mad Maduro might just decide to create what for him would be a diversion – by attacking us. Let’s not forget he has a precedent since Venezuela launched a surprise attack against us back in 1966 when they seized our half of Ankoko Island. And most importantly there’s been absolutely NO repercussions!!
We don’t even talk about Ankoko no mo’!! Shouldn’t we invoke Venezuela’s illegal occupation of our territory at every opportunity?? Like at the UNGA and UNSC – as Mad Maduro had the temerity recently to whine about American “intrusions” in the Caribbean Sea!! We gotta launch a “Free Ankoko” program domestically and internationally immediately. Your Eyewitness is all for the protests on Gaza – but with the ceasefire, can’t these worthies now pour their energies for a “Free Ankoko” movement??
Having been convinced that we’re walkovers – but scared shi*less of the Yanks raining Phoneix Missiles on Miraflores Palace!! – Mad Maduro might very well use proxies to attack us. Externally, there’s the violent semi-official Sindicatos – who exist through the connivance of his military in their “Mining Crescent” adjoining our Essequibo across the Cuyuni River! They’ve attacked our GDF patrols several times in the last few years. These were exploratory feelers to gauge our response – which have unfortunately been limited to firing indiscriminately across the Cuyuni and into the dense forests where the Sindicatos blend in.
Your Eyewitness thinks it’s high time we become more proactive in taking the fight to Mad Maduro!! Maybe by using those five high-tech, long endurance drones Granger and Ramjatan bought at the (exorbitant) five times the cost of drones with similar specifications back in 2019?? The War in Ukraine has been all about drones dropping bombs on enemy installations, innit?? Back then the Granger regime – with his phalanx of military types – made your Eyewitness think they were preparing us to be a high-tech small nation like Israel – to take on on the big, bad bully next door!! Maybe this might be the catalyst for the Yanks to move their operations from the sea to land?!!
The other Mad Maduro proxy we gotta watch out for are those “sleepers” or “fifth columnists” we must take for granted he’s embedded amongst the thousands of Venezuelans who fled his dictatorship and imploded economy. Remember those Venezuelans who planted explosives at that GPL sub-station off Mandela Ave?? And blew up that gate of the nearby E. La Penitence Police Station?? We gotta initiate a comprehensive program – covert and overt – to suss out these “refugees”!!
Offense is the best defense!!

…Haitian gangs
Some time ago, your Eyewitness had noted with great interest the vociferous intervention of some Opposition types when a number of Haitians – who were being trafficked into Brazil – had been intercepted by the law. The proud history of Haiti in leading the first successful slave revolution in the world – to gain independence – was invoked. And the need to assist this pioneering nation for freedom was raised.
Well, the UN Security Council has again approved a motion for increased support for the force headed by Kenya that intervened to bring some order to that land benighted land that’s being held hostage by armed gangs. CariCom had been asked to provide some manpower to back up the Kenyans and Bahamas and Jamaica had stepped up to the crease – albeit rather modestly. The US financed the initiative.
But your Eyewitness had expected the Opposition defenders of Haitian freedom would’ve come out by now to demand that our government send some troops to assist.
Are they not our brothers?

…(obstructionist) loitering
Now that the BJDRB’s been launched, your Eyewitness observed a strange phenomenon. GTowners and East bankers now (leisurely) sightseeing across the span from dusk to midnight!!
And now making life hell for West Siders who now take 1 hour to cross!!
