Dr Ralph Gonsalves is PM of St Vincent. They add on the “Grenadines” to expand their total area to 142 square miles!! Yup…and with almost 100,000 people, you can understand the fella insisting he’s a Marxist/ Socialist and is as such au fait with “world historical forces” and such – striving mightily to make himself relevant!! So, after Mad Maduro had his Navy ship invade our Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and accost one of Exxon’s FPSOs from about 700 metres, Gonsalves has reminded all and sundry that he was the “INTERLOCUTOR” in the Argyle Agreement.
The dictionary informs your Eyewitness that an “interlocutor” is “one who takes part in dialogue or conversation; or a man in the middle of the line in a minstrel show who questions the end men and acts as leader”. Gonsalves is referring, of course, to the Dec 2023 meeting at his Argyle Airport, which he arranged between his pal and fellow socialist Mad Maduro and our Pres Ali. This was supposed to bring “peace” to the region, after the madman announced a referendum to annex Essequibo!!
The said madman promptly broke the agreement at least a dozen times before this latest outrage!! Amassing troops and warships at our border, announcing the formation of an Essequibo State and the imminent appointment of a governor etc…etc.
And after all of that, what does Ralphie Boy say now?? “This is not the first time since Argyle that matters have had to be mooted by us…You have to have peace. You have to avoid [escalation]; anybody in that kind of tense situation, anything could happen. Next thing you know, everything spirals out of control and there is a conflagration…”!!
Well, if he acknowledges that the Argyle Agreement has been broken several times, why doesn’t he say that in EACH AND EVERY instance it was Mad Maduro who did the breaking??
Maybe it’s not just the socialist brotherhood thingy – maybe he’s singing for his Maduro-arranged PetroCaribe supper? When Mad Maduro broke the Barbados Agreement brokered by the international community for free and fair elections in Venezuela, why did he almost trip over his legs in rushing to congratulate the madman after he had flagrantly rigged the elections??
A Bromance? We’ve gotten several of our soldiers ambushed and shot by Maduro-backed syndicato bandits, and an invasion by a Venezuelan Navy ship, and Ralphie sings about “peace”?? What kinda “peace” is he talking about? The massive “piece” of Guyana Mad Maduro lusts over? The peace of the dead? Or peace at any price – which means us appeasing the madman at the new meeting Ralphie wants to arrange??
The peace that comes through appeasement does not create genuine peace; we know this from our own experience with Mad Maduro!! Bye, Ralphie!!
…to St James
Unlike Zelenskyy, the PM of New Zealand has figured out from which direction the wind’s blowing now that Trump’s in the White House. Their ambassador to Britain – at the Court of St James, thank you!! – ventured to say publicly that while Trump might’ve returned that bust of Churchill to the Oval Office, unlike the arch-imperialist – your Eyewitness’s word!! – Trump doesn’t know history!! If he did, he’d go along with Europeans’ hatred of Russia – three decades after the Soviet Empire collapsed and then burst asunder like a death star!! The ambassador was immediately FIRED!!
Now, while some may smarmily snicker that NZ’s pandering to Trump, few have thought about the fact that it was Europe – started by Churchill in 1949 – that defined Russia as the enemy of the west. They had America’s Marshall Plan rebuild Germany to become part of the said west – after millions there were killed by the German army.
Maybe Russia’s historic yearning to be part of the west is answered??
…for kid’s freedom?
As that school was burning to the ground in Subryanville, a video crossed your Eyewitness’s feed showing kids giving enthusiastic high fives to each other!! Your Eyewitness understands their wanting a holiday – but high fives to a conflagration?? Ouch!!
