Dear Editor,
With each passing day, the Guyanese people and the world are being apprised of the desperate courses of action taken by the APNU/AFC degenerates to change the narrative of what has transpired since the March 2nd elections.
The latest revelation that a lobbying firm was retained to disseminate false and misleading information shows just how determined the APNU/AFC is to hold on to power by any means necessary.
It is highly unlikely that this latest attempt will succeed. While some in Washington DC may be gullible to believe the false narrative, convincing the entire international community to make a U-turn on what they saw with their own eyes is a tall order, even for the most skillful lobbyist.
The mere fact that the U.S. Secretary of State has personally called for a true, fair, transparent, and credible process does not leave much to the imagination. It is one thing for the APNU/AFC to insult the intelligence of the Guyanese people; it’s a completely different thing to do the same to the international community.
Furthermore, the lame attempt to invoke Cold War era rhetoric that Russia and China will control from Venezuela to Suriname if the Opposition forms the next Government will not stand up in the 21st century. And even if this was remotely the case, don’t you think the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and British Intelligence (MI6) are in a far better position to inform on this claim?
The world has changed considerably since the Cold War, and the fear of communism taking shape in this hemisphere is a figment of the APNU/AFC’s imagination.
The bottom line is simple: Even if this lobbying firm is remotely able to win the hearts and minds of a few in Washington D.C., all the lobbying in the world will not sway public opinion in Guyana. The only thing saving the APNU/AFC from the wrath of the Guyanese people is the risk of the coronavirus. But, sooner or later, this threat will subside, and then they will have to face the music, both at home and abroad.
