Dear Editor,
The US has given the caretaker Mr “G” his best birthday gift today in celebrating his 75 years. Happy birthday sir, you deserve only the best, and good luck for more silver years. Do enjoy your birthday gift.
The US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said today, “Today, I am announcing visa restrictions on individuals who have been responsible for, or complicit in, undermining democracy in Guyana. Immediate family members of such persons may also be subject to these restrictions. In my public statements since the election, I have been very clear that the United States stands with the Guyanese people, and that there would be consequences for individuals who seek to undermine democracy.”
Sanctions were instituted in the form of visa restrictions on a number of key individuals, including ministers, GECOM personnel, attorneys, other government officials and their families. It is expected that further sanctions to freeze their assets are under consideration.
We all anxiously await tomorrow’s 11:00h virtual meeting from the US Embassy.
Remember, the best is left for the last, and only the best would have the last laugh! So many have been calling for sanctions, and eventually they did arrive, compliments of the US Government. Patience is virtue, and it pays. Guyanese have listened to all the calls made to maintain peace, especially from the PPP/C Party, and have remained calm. They have restrained themselves to desist from being influenced and not inciting any form of disruptive interferences.
This temperament has paid off. It is also understood that similar actions are in process from Canada and the UK. Guyana welcomes this latest move, and solemnly hopes that this will help to expedite an end to this fracas by the recalcitrant APNU/AFC Party led by a Dr. Jekyll-and-Mr Hyde personality.
Roll back the clock, and within the past few weeks, the diplomats from the ABCEU would have met with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Guyana Defense Force, but not with the Police Force. Perhaps there was no need, because the unasked questions would have been answered upfront by the obvious display of their questionable reactions on various occasions. On Tuesday, a large crowd was allowed to assemble by the GECOM office in defiance of COVID-19 restrictions and in full view of the Police.
Again, the Police remained biased and failed in their duties, and they also continue to protect the CEO, Mr. Lowenfield.
The mad and bad Roman Emperor Nero fine-tuned his music, “fiddled” and slept while Rome was burning. Perhaps, the Neuro sleep drink was named with him in mind. As the story goes, Nero wanted to clear a large area to accommodate his palatial complex, so he arranged for a fire to clear the aristocratic dwellings. Afterwards, he needed a scapegoat for his actions, so he blamed the Christians for the fire because of their apocalyptic belief that Rome and the world would end by fire. How convenient for him to achieve an evil motive and turn around and blame the innocent, hitting two birds with one stone! Again, a classic example of what’s playing out in front the eyes of Guyanese in broad daylight by the cabal of tyrants.
History scribed the terrible Georgetown fires (burning, looting) from the political disturbances from the 1960s when the thugs, inspired, supported and protected by Burnham, created mayhem. Manipulation has always been the devil’s advocate to gain and maintain power by foul, and not by fair means. Make no mistake, with all the recent fires, it has to be another devious plan well-orchestrated by the perpetrators of diabolic activities that can only land in the lap of the obvious entity, one who has subscribed from the beginning of the election period to create ruckus, chaos, confusion, disruption, corruption and pandemonium.
Further mischief is indeed afoot. Tongue twisters will by busy pulling and tugging, changing the narrative and shifting the goal post in order to blame the other party by being barefaced. Controlling the state machinery for propaganda purposes is one of the pivotal pillars to cement a strong foundation towards achieving the success of dictatorship! Pull the string and the cap only fits one head, and it’s not a size all cap. As usual, the caretaker security public officer is at sea! But Guyana and the international community know who started this talk of “Slow fiyah, mo fiyah” and “War break.” As the ole people would say, “Mouth open, story jump out.” It is the truth that casually rolls off the tongue as a joke!
That, dear readers, has been their election campaign, and not “honesty, integrity and decency.”
The numbers in the thirties do play havoc with Guyanese (33 is not greater than 32/ the haggling of who gets the 33 seats). Again, recently, we were informed of 37 street lights gone missing. This had to happened in broad daylight (perpetrators pretending to do maintenance work?), all with consolidated inputs in camouflage to fool the innocent public.
Now, catapult your memory back to February 2006. Remember when 35 guns vanished from the GDF’s armory at the base camp (30- AK-47s along with 5 pistols)? In whose hands did those guns ended up? What followed shortly afterwards? (still the cry for 400 + unjust deaths? Bring it on, i.e. another COI. Or the hands are burnt since Charran’s “bring it on” failed?) Just like the Rodney affair, these issues remain in limbo (deliberately).
Over the past four years, the Auditor General has expressed his frustrations, confirming the inability to secure proper records in order to complete various audits at various establishments. In most cases, records were damaged, destroyed, not available, not kept, not adequately maintained, and there were even officers refusing to cooperate and/or provide them. Going forward, you do not need to stretch the imagination as to what would be discovered, especially transactions pertaining to the last year.
As the work of the Madam Chair for GECOM continues to be disrupted and frustrated by the APNU/AFC Party, their Commissioners and the CEO, Mr Lowenfield announcing the results from the election recount, confirming that PPP/C won by some 15,000 votes over the APNU/AFC Party, takes a back seat and has been further delayed because of the challenge filed, preventing GECOM from using CARICOM certified recount result to declare the legitimate winner. GECOM is awaiting the completion of that case with the High Court, scheduled for Friday and expected to conclude on Sunday with the decision by Chief Justice Roxanne George.
The PPP/C Party and the other opposition parties have thwarted all efforts on all occasions to prevent the APNU/AFC Party to have their own way and forcefully swear in Mr. “G” as an illegal President and his Party as an illegitimate Government. The world has witnessed all the dirty tricks played by this cabal, listened to all their malicious lies, are aware of all their contradictory tongue-twisters, can read through all their controversies and propaganda, will no longer tolerate their vicious and devious attacks on the impoverished Guyanese people, will not be silenced by these monstrosities, will rebuff all their deceitful and dishonest statements, will not accept any of their unmerited and flagrant attacks on anyone who dares to speak out against their election rigging, and will place heavy sanctions to enforce a quick and just conclusion to this election, starting from the very top and sparing no one who is guilty of election complicity and engaged in undermining democracy in Guyana.
This madness has to stop, and the international community has had enough of the APNC/AFC bullying behaviour and their role as a merry band of rogues. It is the US and the international community who has Guyana’s back covered. Of course, the APNU/AFC Party has downplayed the US move and continue to categorically deny all these statements as false accusations, but this is only a rhetorical answer, and they are left with no other choice.
Their room for further manoeuvering has been curtailed, and now it is only a matter of time. The US has spoken and answered their bluff, and Guyana is somewhat restful now and waiting for the curtain to come down.
Thank you, USA; and Guyana awaits further sanctions from their other friends, appreciative of all the hard work the international community has contributed, and do apologise for having encountered so much unnecessary embarrassment from this de facto fake and evil gang of masqueraders, who have been squatting in office for the past two years! Will the APNU/AFC now listen and finally do the right thing?
Respectfully,
Jai Lall
