Dear Editor,
Though I am not on Facebook, the story goes like this: somebody told somebody something, which prompted two other bodies to do what led to a criminal posting on that social media platform by yet another somebody. It is proof, once again, of how no good deed goes unpunished. How there is no honour in virtue in this country, where even little sacrifices end up with this manner of spoilage.
Commonsense says that this kind of accusation belongs with the Guyana Police Force. With other interested, concerned, and protective agencies of the state also engaged. And with every channel and medium explored and utilised for maximum exposure. Those making such deceptive and dangerous claims, and engaging in such targeting on Facebook would want to take such a course, as necessary first and immediate steps strongly recommended. I would, and I am already on the move with such steps, on a number of fronts. I intend to pursue across the board, and to wherever and to whomsoever they lead. I will not be deterred, despite the murky nature of social media, and the skills of underhanded political operators in this society. This will be a test case, though, as what we have here for institutions, and protections for all. Including me. It would also spotlight what we have here for conscience and leadership, the expanse of our citizenship. The problem, as I like to say, is that the bell, once rung, cannot be un-rung; or the toothpaste once squeezed, cannot be put back in the tube. Such is the irreversible taint that comes and stains, where the objective is to take down today; maybe take out later.
I wonder how proud our powerful political leaders are today. I think that some places are just too low, too out of bounds, for even them, and their people to go. I guess I was wrong again. But this much I will say here and now to all involved in what is a malicious, libelous, and felonious act: if this is the best shot in the armory of poisoned weapons, then it is time to go back to the planning stage and start over with something else. Try another slingshot. Come up with another criminal concoction, be it from deep in the bowels of Freedom House or Office of the President; or wherever such cowardly ambushes are crafted and put into motion.
Still, the confirmation is revealing of how things are in this country, despite all the blabber from the biased and bigoted about clean governance and clean communications and clean leadership. The people who follow leaders are only as untainted as they are. And when they are terribly tainted, which is the case here, then there is no limit. I did say before that I thought so poorly of national leaders that I would not share the same space with them, so despicable are the things they stand for, actually do. Some thought me wrong, and that I was also wrong for saying that, under no circumstance would I serve the people of this nation, because of the greatest distaste for being near their leaders, breathing the same air with them. I stand justified in such thinking, with proofs furnished.
Sincerely,
GHK Lall
