‘Red line in the sand’

Dear Editor,
David Granger knows exactly where the ‘red line in the sand’ has been drawn by the civilised world as it relates to Guyana. No Government installed by the use of Mingo’s fraudulent figures will be recognised as legitimate and individuals that seek to benefit from the electoral fraud will face serious actions and personal sanctions. Granger’s response has been to resort to the Four Cs that served him so well after his Government fell to the motion of No-Confidence on December 21, 2018; The courts, the Constitution and the Commission (GECOM) and confusion of his party supporters with misinformation such as 33 was not the majority of 65.
Make no mistake of whose hands are pulling the puppet strings; Mingo’s madness was calculated to drive the PPP/C to the courts for redress; the Constitution will be relied on to thwart the Caricom-supervised recount; the Commission must do its work unimpeded even when the world has witnessed the most brazen attempt to steal an election in the memory of living men (few are older than Kit Nascimento), and now the confusion campaign is in full swing with an additional aim of fostering racial tension and provoking confrontations. In addition to the usual diatribe from his minions, Granger himself has engaged in fallacies, chief among them is that the PPP/C disrupted the verification of SoPs with an invasion of GECOM, thankfully Observer Missions witnessed and documented the actual events.
The more dangerous practice by APNU/AFC operatives of creating fake social media profiles with Indo names to spew hate against Afro-Guyanese is reprehensible. There is enough hate speech out there caused by the intransigent and ‘wrong and strong’ behaviour by Granger’s refusal to accept the loss or allow a credible verification and/or a recount of Region Four votes.
Granger will attempt to use the Four Cs to remain President; act as if his Cabinet was never dissolved; spend beyond the 1/12th provision under the guise of COVID-19 response, in summary, make the elections of 2020 a non-event. Someone needs to advise Mr Granger that the red line is not static; it will move inexorably towards his toes until he is backed against a wall and eventually overtaken.
The US Secretary of State has made it known that the consequences for individuals seeking to benefit from electoral fraud are not dependent on court action; fraud has already been determined; staying in Office indefinitely is a form of benefit. Spewing hate from behind fake profiles can place individuals before the International Criminal Court. International agencies are monitoring our cyberspace diligently.
Granger should also be aware that unlike the period after the No-Confidence Motion, the patience of the people has worn thin and Granger’s façade of piety has crumbled to dust. I expect no honourable, honest or decent action from Mr Granger, I saw through the act ages ago, for unlike Saul, I never had scales upon my eyes, but I am gratified to see those scales fall from the eyes of my fellow Guyanese.

Respectfully,
Robin Singh
