Sussing out…the PFG assaults?

Your Eyewitness is quite intrigued by the continued – THREE times now according to releases sent out and published rather prominently by the Opposition-aligned news rags!! – “assaults” on the HQ of the Policy Forum Guyana (PFG) in GT!! Now PFG, according to its website, “is a network of civic organisations which came into existence in 2015”. Seemingly like Athena – who appeared fully born from the brow of Zeus – PFG gave itself the mandate to monitor the Government on all sorts of woke activities like climate warming, freshwater preservation, tree hugging and most pertinently “transparency” on the use of our natural resources. And – seemingly as an aside – “electoral transparency”!!
Your Eyewitness uses the term “assaults” because from the reports, it seems that in each instance a window, or windows, was pried open but nothing was taken from the office!! So it’s like the perpetrator mounted an “assault” on the premises but was prevented by something from entering the facility!! Or do we have a local bumbling burglar to rival Inspector Clouseau of Pink Panther fame??
What makes the assaults even stranger is that the facility – which also houses the Guyana Human Rights Association HQ – is guarded by a private security firm, MMC, and they’ve never been able to catch the window priers in the act!! Now MMC boasts twenty-five years in the security business and provides electronic alarms, monitoring, etc.!! Your Eyewitness can’t figure out why – after even the second “assault” – MMC didn’t recommend an alarm or CCTV?? Or is it they provided one of our Guyanese proverbial “Watchmen” who’re more accurately described as “Sleepmen”??!!
PFG, however, took a darker view of the “assaults” – as explained by their (unnamed) coordinator after the last one. They noted he assaults “come at a time when PFG has been publicly vocal on matters relating to the Guyana Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (GYEITI), particularly regarding governance and transparency surrounding civic participation. “While nothing was stolen today, the persistence and precision of these actions leave us deeply unsettled. What once appeared random now seems far more deliberate. Yet, Policy Forum Guyana remains firm in our commitment to transparency and accountability – and we will not be intimidated into silence.”
Intimidation!! The plot thickens, eh?? It wasn’t coincidental that PFG’s housed in the GHRA building – its guiding light (and director) is the same fella who heads the just-as-amorphous GHRA!! So what’s alleged is the Government wants to silence these heroes who’ve decided to serve our Guyanese interests not at the polls – but as NGOs whose foreign funding don’t have to be accounted for!!
Sounds like a false flag operation to your Eyewitness!! You know…you do something to throw blame at your opponent – and here, get bigger funding!!

…Venezuelan threat
It seems all analysts are in agreement with what your Eyewitness’ been saying for months – once there’s a regime change in Venezuela that involves force against Mad Maduro – we can expect to be hit by another wave of Venezuelan refugees. And this gonna pose a clear and present danger to our national security – no matter how you slice it; dice it or puree it!! The greatest threat’s gonna come from Mad Maduro’s minions – who’ll be fleeing retribution from those who they’d trampled on for the last two decades.
Now, as our old people advise, we can’t wait to build latrine till cramps tell us we gotta go!! We should be deploying our GDF troops right now along our northwest border to stop the infiltration!! We’re all appreciative of the human tragedy of those Venezuelans who might be authentic refugees – but we better be safe than sorry!!
We should work with the international refugee agencies to build some temporary camps in Region One!! Till they’re vetted!!

…Trans-p
Your Eyewitness was pretty pleased with the new ferry – the MV ARIS IV – which just arrived to ply the Parika–Supenaam route. This ship is from Piraeus, Greece – and you can tell from the aesthetics it ain’t Chinese!!
