Kaieteur News’ Sunday 23rd newsclip reads “grenades missing from GDF training base”. This is a very shocking piece of information, judging from the fact that this is taking place in an election season at a time when tensions are running high and speculation is rife  as to whether this election would be peaceful like the one we had in 2006. Contrary to popular belief, the last general election should not have been peaceful but it should have been the bloodiest, with the opposition returning to power via a coup. I speak on information gleaned from members of that party who openly boasted of this fact. The catastrophe was only averted by quick action of the government, having intercepted key plotters and planners of this seditious scheme.
There are a number of what I would call “strange occurrences” taking place lately, which is of great concern to all and calls for much discussion. First there was the grenade explosion at Stabroek market square last year. That explosion was powerful enough to kill those in the immediate vicinity, as well as dig a crater in the ground. The question is, who was the intended target? Then there was the seizure of a Guyanese registered vessel in St Lucian waters with quite a large cache of weapons; again, where was that ship’s cargo headed? Now this latest development of missing grenades begs the question – why now? Why would such weapons of mass destruction suddenly go missing? I would say the facts are clear and the handwriting is on the wall.  Some in society are opposed to Guyana having a peaceful election process and the people choosing a government of its choice, because they would like us to go back to those dark days when the bullet and not the ballot decided who governs us.
Violence, mayhem and confusion is what they have been groomed on, because it is their form of democracy; rule by force.
Make no mistake, these are not chance occurrences.  They are deliberate attempts to derail the peace and quiet we have come to enjoy and might have very well taken for granted these past nineteen years. I do hope the relevant authorities are taking note of this mounting trend and are making plans to stop it.
