Ruel Johnson seems to be genealogically related to Rip Van Winkle

I WISH to refer to a letter in another section of the media on November 6, under the headline, ‘Ramotar, Nandlall and silence from certain quarters’, by Ruel Johnson and to say that I fully agree with him that all organisations and civil society should speak out on the issue under that headline.However, it was not necessary for Mr. Johnson to awaken the Guyana Bar Association, the Guyana Women Lawyers Association, the Guyana Human Rights Association, Red Thread, GTUC, Transparency International and the like, to join with the Opposition parties to eyeball the issue as a sumptuous meal to try and devour Mr. Nandlall. He knew that all of them are innately connected.
So now in his letter, Mr. Johnson is jabbing the other section of society to come on board to sit at the table with him and those of his character on the issue. For one moment or the other, they do not have to factor in the genesis of Nandlall’s private Guyanese colloquial gaff.
Some people conveniently ignore the fact that the reaction to bullying and maliciousness of all sorts leads to unbearable behaviour. The atrocities of World Wars One and Two where over 87 million persons were killed were driven by such unreasonableness and aggression.
Even to a lesser extent of that sort, the great poet Alexander Pope exclaimed in his ‘Rape of the Lock’, “what mighty conquests rise from trivial things”!
The likes of Mr. Johnson seem to be genealogically related to ‘Rip Van Winkle’, but trained in computer technology to enable them to click their mouse to choose sleep or wake to view prevailing issues.
They certainly clicked their mouse to tightly shut their eyes for many years now on the issue of the clandestine involvement of Attorneys-at-Law Sheila Chapman, Avril Trotman, and Raphael Trotman in the fraudulent purported sale of over 750 acres of land, sawmilling equipment and buildings, etc, in my possession.
All my umpteen prods at the Legal Practitioners’ Committee, the Guyana Bar Association, our newspapers, the Internet and elsewhere to wrench their eyes open in order to comment or take appropriate action on this matter have so far shamelessly failed.
I am hereby reiterating my request for Mr. Johnson and his apparent coterie to access a story on the internet legal irregularities frustrating a land issue and other items on this matter.
In anticipation of any questions as to the reason why this matter is not in the High Court, please be informed that I had secured the services of Attorney-at-Law (name given), whom I had trusted and loved, but now I understand the reason why I feel betrayed by him to let my case suffer for want of the necessary legal procedures.
As I mentioned in the first paragraph of this letter, I do support Mr. Johnson’s call for all organisations and civil society to speak out on the Nandlall issue. But at the same time I am also fervently asking them to broadcast their opinions on the malfeasances of all the other perpetrators who I have mentioned.
As for me, after juxtaposing all the above matters, I can only conclude that the Nandlall issue pales into insignificance. The credits that are due to Nandlall far outweigh the sins of many of us.
