Who said there’s nothing new under the sun?? Let’s be honest, dear reader, have you ever heard, seen or read about such goings-on as those that have gripped the nation since the video of the Gold Canary spilling his guts was made public? There have been so many indignant reactions from the names the Canary “called” that your Eyewitness could be forgiven for thinking he was transported into a galaxy of cuss-bird fisherwomen!! Lawyers must be having a field day as they gloat about the humongous hours they’re gonna be billing in the defamation suits and countersuits that will be flying fast and furious!!
One important bit (nugget?!) of info dropped was the involvement of Venezuelan military big wigs in the gold smuggling out of Mad Maduroland! When Chavez arbitrarily demarcated a huge swathe of his south-east interior that abuts our border as a “Mining Arc”, he gave the military the responsibility to extract his share of the expected gold rush. It was a “hand wash hand” kinda deal that was expanded by Mad Maduro – who needed the military support even more. He allowed them to work hand in glove with the Sindicatos, who also preyed on the miners!! It’s those same Sindicatos whom Mad Maduro sicced on our GDF patrols on the Cuyuni River. What strengthens the military connection with Venezuelan gold smuggling – to evade US sanctions slapped on their exports – is that all ores from mines are sent to a couple of cyanide pits to separate the gold to a high 90+ per cent level of purity. The pits are controlled by the military.
Another nugget your Eyewitness extracted from the “he seh; she seh” noise was that Sanction Man has been paying off almost everyone in the social media world – and who knows, certainly SOME in the traditional media!! That wasn’t too hard for him to do considering that the Yanks only sanctioned him for evading taxes in the last five years on gold smuggling – and that alone amounted to $10 BILLION!! One influencer who set herself up as a defender of women’s and poor people’s rights admitted she’d been paid off for years – and only recently received US$35,000 to pay legal fees to hold off ICE from deporting her!!
Another was a fella who worked for a fly-by-night TV station who set himself up as a “Nightcrawler” specialising in Police exposés. He was the one who “interviewed” the Gold Canary – but even a cursory look at the video shows it was clearly a hatchet job to get the Yanks to sanction Sanction Man’s biggest competitor!! Must be VERY lonely being the only gold dealer to be sanctioned!!
Misery just loves company, innit? And who’s a more miserable SOB than Sanction Man??!!
…Haiti misery
The woke brigade in Guyana and the Caribbean recently wrote a looong missive in the press bemoaning the Dominican Republic deporting hundreds of thousands of Haitians back to their country. Now as you would know, dear reader, your Eyewitness’ heart bleeds for what’s happening in that benighted country. But the answer to Haiti’s troubles is to get rid of the armed gangs that have held Port-au-Prince and its environs – including the International Airport – hostage and are extracting booty more rapaciously than any pirate of old!
But what’s held up the solution is that the woke brigade’s absolutely opposed to any US role in any intervention – while the rest of the world refuses to contribute funds for alternative forces. Right now, US$900M is needed – but only a paltry US$8 million has been committed by the other 190 countries in the UN!! Ain’t that a shame??
While the woke brigade cusses out the US, China – just as rich as the US – gets a free pass!! Go figure!!
…confrontations
We all know by now that President Trump has taken on the world with his tariff impositions. Right now, India and Brazil are in his crosshairs. Will he go into TACO mode – Trump Always Chickens Out – as some expect??
