Your Eyewitness got very excited when he read on one of the online news sites that we’re setting up our own spy agency – National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) – which was gonna be deploying agents to foreign capitals!! Now he’d grown up with James Bond as his hero and followed 007’s sex-ploits from Sean Connery to Daniel Craig through David Niven, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan!! His favourite, of course, was Connery. He learnt to take his martini “shaken not stirred” and his women “stirred not shaken”!!
While your Eyewitness might now be a tad long in the tooth, he figured there HAD to be the need for a silver-haired man-about-town who could wangle info from various and sundry femme fatales about who’s trying to get their hands on our new-found oil wealth!! He was just about to send off his application to the President – since the report claimed the buck stopped with him – but decided to do some background checks. After all, he was applying to become a SPY!!
What a bummer it was to discover that the so-called “spy agency” had been launched since Donald Ramotar’s presidency back in 2012!! Remember that Central Intelligence Unit (CIU) that was housed at the back of Castellani House – and had access to security cameras being deployed around Georgetown?? Yep!! The Opposition also claimed THAT was spying then!! “Spying through cameras”!!! They probably saw the similarity of the name to “Central Intelligence Agency”!! In 2013, APNU’s security maven Winston Felix screamed that there ought to be legislation governing this agency. Guess the PPP listened to him?!!
As soon as the APNU/AFC coalition got into office in 2015, the head security honcho, David Granger announced, “we are going to establish a National Security Agency (NSA) and the CIU will be incorporated into the NSA”. Now, if “CIU” evoked the CIA – what’d you say about the NSA?? Isn’t this IDENTICAL to the body that gathers and curates intelligence for the US President, daily?? After their criticism about the lack of legislative imprimatur, it should be pointed out that Granger made no move to secure same for his NSA!!!
The reason why the PNC have their drawers in a knot about NISA is because back in the day, Burnham used to send over plainclothes CID personnel to spy on overseas Guyanese in Toronto and New York. With good reason, he felt opposition to his dictatorship would originate from there. So now that they’re bleeding support from their old base at home, they are paranoid their geriatric support abroad might follow suit – and the PPP would find out!!
Oh what a pathetic state the PNC has been reduced to!! Dead Meat??
…and phones
Our local media – mostly from the Opposition side of the fence – are all agog about the seizure of that young MoHA Permanent Secretary’s phone. Some insist she had some sorta incriminating info on the said phone that triggered the seizure – and also led to her visa being cancelled. Your Eyewitness knows this storm in a teacup will blow over in the next news cycle – now that the young lady is back in old mudland.
But to show how prepared he is for any openings that might appear in any future spy outfit that might be necessary as we move up the world rankings, your Eyewitness only travels with burner phones when he travels. “Burner phone?”, you ask, Dear Reader. Yep, it’s a cheap phone with a prepaid sim that only allows him to take and receive calls. Doesn’t store no data – incriminating or otherwise!) – and he’s anonymous since he can create his own number!!
And being cheap, your Eyewitness can dump them without depleting his (very thin!) wallet!!
…lacking
Britain’s Opposition Labour Party felt they had to suspend high-profile lawmaker Diane Abbott. Seems she said that while discrimination against Jews just for being Jewish was bad, it wasn’t “racism”.
So gassing six million of them was what??
