Mr. EMILE Mervin in his letter “Asking Julia Johnson to cover the Simels trial was an excellent and responsible judgement” (Kaieteur News, 09/08/2009) shows his lack of understanding in the validation process that is necessary.

This is not the first time that I have had to correct Mr. Emile Mervin’s technique used to decipher what actually transpires in Guyana.

As an example, Mr. Emile Mervin would read Stabroek News, Kaieteur News and Guyana Chronicle then write a “theory” on the defunct Guyana Gazette website which is then picked up and used as “truths” by Mr. Robin Williams who actually read the same papers as Mr. Emile Mervin.

Then, Mr. Robin Williams would write a “theory” similar to Mr. Emile Mervin which is then picked up by “CARL” who believes that the information is “true” as he has used three different sources (Guyana Gazette, Stabroek News and Kaieteur News).

All three persons above would then believe that they have “the truth” as they have used different sources. But, they have not independently validated the information. What actually transpired was “gossiping” as person A tells person B who tells person C who then tells person A.

Freddie Kissoon is a traditional columnist (although he would like to be thought of as a “Social Commentator). Or rather, Freddie Kissoon is a gossip columnist as he writes what “people say to him” without any real evidence. And, there is no real way for ordinary Guyanese to validate what he writes.

I hereby nominate Freddie Kissoon as “King Social Comentator” as the name means more to him than actual facts. Freddie is not a “columnist” reporters but rather is a “Social Commentator”.

In any event, we must all be careful when we read the various newspapers as it “colours our views”. Most newspapers tend to write about the “negatives”. And, some newspapers tend to turn even the most “positive” into a negative.

As an example, “President Jagdeo went to India to seek investments. But we feel that he should have gone to a Heads of Government Conference instead. There is an example of where a positive has been turned into a negative.

If Guyanese want a real issue to deal with here is a likely scenario:

Imagine someone invents a device that can be used to implant thoughts into a person’s brain. Some may believe that this is technically unfeasible but a TV does exactly the same thing. Now, given that many country have numerous nuclear weapons and the list of countries with these nuclear weapons is likely to expand even with current UN restrictions. You may need the device as it also tells you what someone is thinking. So, now you have the ability of telling “who” or “which country” is looking to create and build more nuclear weapons.

1) Do you keep the “mind control” device with the associated dilemna that it may be used to manipulate “the ordinary person” thoughts and maybe prevent the spread of nuclear weapons?

2) Do you get rid of the mind control device and hope that people and countries would stop stockpiling nuclear weapons?

In today’s world, it does not matter who has nuclear weapons or the mind control devices as they (may) have already been invented. It is like saying “The Wheel has already been invented”.

Here is another real issue for Guyanese to help reslove:

The Vatican City is sourrounded by a 10-foot wall. Is it the wall that keeps The Vatican safe or is it God?

It is my belief that we are about to get a real kicking. Not just Guyana but the wider world also. When we look at most of the things that are being developed we understand that we are really at the “cutting edge” of most “sciences”.

Philophy/Psychaitry – Mind Control – (probable) Universal Consciousness Computers – Robotics – (probable) Universal Consciousness or computers becoming stronger then mandkind.

Biology – Genetics – Cloning/ genetic engineering – Universal Consciousness (cleverer, stronger people).

Armies – weapons – advance weapons – global warfare.

Education – Information – Internet – Universal Conciousness.

THERE is nothing new under the sun. It is only different people discovering the same thing and using the same old arguments.

Today, we do not try to predict the future; we/I make “projections” based on available information.

President Burnham is not responsible for our current problems. He is only responsible for the things that he did up to his death because those are the things that he could change. I am more responsible for Guyana current problems than President Burnham since April/May 2001.

Let’s all give Mr. Robert Corbin the final decision and follow through. The reason is simple; the situation is getting progressively bigger and bigger.

Mr. Corbin, it is not just a simple situation as you may believe. Do you really want to “lock-up all the bad people”?

No “airy fairy arguments” the only thing is you have to be consistent. If you lock-up person A for stealing you have to lock-up person B for stealing as well.

A simple YES or NO will suffice.
