…on hate crime
Donald Trump’s about the least inhibited person on planet Earth when it comes to speaking his mind. Some insist his thoughts mightn’t even be mediated by his mind but boil over directly from his id. This is a fella who critiqued Meryl Streep’s film performance, SNL, and the sale of his daughter’s shoes – but yet hasn’t made a comment about the hate-crime murder of an Indian immigrant, the wounding of another and also of a white American, who intervened.
What gives? Have his advisers advised him not to get involved with a hate crime that was clearly precipitated by the climate of hate he’s aroused around immigrants? This would’ve forced Mr Trump to do some introspection that would definitely help his country deal with what’s obviously a burning issue that’s continued spiking after pretty much defining the presidential campaign.
The facts are quite clear. Two Indian men walk into a bar in a Kansas town…order their usual whiskey and start chatting at a table. A nearby white man, assuming they’re “middle Eastern” from his comments, grills them about their visa status. He gets enraged when the fellas complain to the bartender and he’s told to leave. He returns with a shotgun and starts blasting at the immigrants. He later ambles over to another bar and takes a drink to “cool off”. This clearly isn’t the Kansas of Dorothy and Toto and their yellow brick road from the Wizard of OZ!
Two weeks later, it’s not only Trump who’s mum but the Kansas Police who haven’t made up their minds as to whether it’s really a hate crime!! Trump had the FBI look into the accusations of Russian hacking so clearly he has a pipeline to their office. Why hasn’t he asked them their opinion on the killing since the FBI has defined a hate crime as a “criminal offence against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.”
The bar was filled with whites – this is Kansas remember? – and it was only their brown skin that distinguished the two Indian engineers for them to be harassed about their immigration status. But Trump won’t comment ‘cause the hysteria about immigrants he’s created will be shown to have a racial basis. Very few realise that immigrants from Eastern Europe are on the same level as to Britain which precipitated Brexit.
Ironically, many enter the US on the same type of HB1 visa as the Indian engineer killed – as skilled workers. Like the founder of GOOGLE.
Are the official “real Americans” only white?
…on shady deals
The Muckraker ran a fake news concoction about the NEW GPC paying dividends to NICIL for their 10 per cent shares. Shrieked that the company “finally coughs up millions owning to NICIL.” Now, it’s clear they know squat how dividends are paid since even though they “bought” Guyana Stores. They still owe 0,000,000 for it and NEVER paid dividends to the employees for their 10 per cent shares!! Ow, man!
So let’s educate the wankers. Dividends are paid when profits are made and the Directors decide how much they want to retain for investing. No company “owes” dividends!! For NEW GPC, the Muckraker and the Govt must be amazed it paid dividends even though they’ve denied contracts to the company. Your Eyewitness hopes they’re happy that ANSA, which gets most of the contracts, pays dividends to their Trini shareholders. And that Guyanese pharma companies can’t bid for Trini contracts.
But what the heck…the Muckraker’s boss is enjoying the Lexuses he smuggled in, isn’t he? But Uncle Donald Trump has him in his sight for his backtracking.
The orange jumpsuit has already been fitted!
…on WPA’s street cred
Nigel Hinds, like your Eyewitness, seems to be a fella who feels Rodney’s efforts to help Guyana move forward shouldn’t be jettisoned.
Sad that Rodney’s old comrades don’t feel the same.
