…for Guyana in 24?
Your Eyewitness has been trying to look into his crystal ball, to see what’s ahead for our dear old Mudland. He’s even fortified himself with some stiff shots of high wine like Granny showed him how – to clear up the ball. He never quite figured out how her downing all that high wine could affect the ball – but who was he to question Granny? She had predicted Burnham was gonna ruin our country when he promised to feed, house and clothe the country in a matter of four years!! Now, with hindsight, you may think that was no great prediction. But back in ‘72, when he was handing out all those pigs and land to the party faithful, most were convinced the days of milk and honey were here!!
But anyhow, back to 2024. After polishing off the bottle, your Eyewitness can clearly see Mad Maduro jumping up and down and cussing us for the mess he’s gotten himself into!! Why “us”, you ask, dear reader?? Well, there’s nothing the ex-bus driver can do to the Americans after ten years of steady economic implosion. He’s had to beg them back in!! But also, he figured, after buying off more than half of our erstwhile allies in Caricom, we’ve sussed him out after that fake flag incident, and he’s wasted his money!! Can’t cash the same cheque twice!!
But your Eyewitness can also see Pressie not becoming flustered one bit by Mad Maduro jumping up and down like a fowl cock!! While there are some who question the point of him meeting Mad Maduro at Argyle, he just wanted to get a measure of the creature who could be so irrational in his pursuit of power. Pressie knew that all the other players had their own motivation for yanking Mad Maduro’s chain, but ultimately, it was his country that was being threatened to be shrunk by two-thirds! Ultimately, we might have to take on the bully with what we’ll be able to muster on our own!! And, good for us, he found Mad Maduro wanting!!
So, your Eyewitness moved his gaze in the crystal ball from off our shores to what might go down INSIDE our dear land of Guyana. And he saw great turmoil and upheaval in the party headquartered in Sophia. There were at least three factions from within – as well as two factions from without! – trying to stage a palace coup against the current leader. Trouble was, they couldn’t see that being so divided, the fella could pit one against the other – and in the end emerge unscathed!!
But the ball’s getting dim. Or was it his eyes because of that cheap high wine??!
…for Ukraine
Now, before you know it, it’ll be Feb 22, which will make it TWO years since Russia invaded Ukraine. Imagine that – two years of a war going on in Europe after WWII that was gonna stop all wars – at least in civilized Europe!! The Cold War that followed WWII, after all, was conducted mostly in benighted places like the Third World!! And you must be wondering, dear reader, when will this war be over?
In the beginning, most thought the mighty Red Army would sweep through the eastern Ukraine provinces that were friendly to them, and roll into Kiev in a matter of days!!
But for reasons only they know, the Western countries decided that they’d throw everything they had at Russia – via the Ukrainians! And they did!! Trouble is, it clearly wasn’t enough, and there’s now talk about Russia and Ukraine negotiating a peace deal that’ll see Russia incorporating the friendly- eastern Ukraine provinces back into Mother Russia!!
So, why did over 500,000 have to die? Who knows!!
…in Gaza
Well, this episode in Gaza only started last Oct 7 – so we’re only two months into that war. But it doesn’t take a crystal ball to see that the Israelis ain’t gonna stop their killing frenzy until the Palestinians are driven into the sea!!
