I COME from a mother that I loved insanely. I have been married the past 47 years to a woman I love insanely. I have one child who is a woman. Against this background, I believe the female species is the bedrock of civilisation. Women are special to civilisation.
Equally as I am a husband, equally as I am the father of a daughter, I am a civilised human trained in philosophy. That kind of existence makes me put justice as the fountainhead of civilisation. I will never throw away decades of my life in which I believe justice is the pillar on which civilisation rests to join a bandwagon of prosecuting any human without that human having recourse to the protection of natural law.
In the laws of civilisation, there is no distinction between humans based on gender. Once you make that distinction, justice dies and society evolves into a sad, nihilistic spectacle in which the human species becomes identical with the laws of the jungle.
I am in my seventies, and I have seen it all in Guyana, where I have lived all my life. What lacerates my psyche, not mind and heart, but my psyche, is how sections of the Guyanese nationality inside and outside of the land with corrupt psychologies, corrugated minds, and irredeemable degenerate morality make everything a political issue and in doing so blur the distinction between Guyana as a country and the ephemeral government that will come and go while Guyana remains forever.
In this Mephistophelean dance of evil minds, people pick on any citizen once it serves their naked anti-government purpose and justice is denied. I see this every day in this country, and once I have a pen, I will confront these juggernauts of evil. Some sections of the Guyanese nationality are so filthy in mind that Guyana is saved through the salutary process of them being based on other countries so they do not dwell among us to infect this young population of Guyana. Those who are home-based do not have an ounce of embeddedness in the presence of this country. People do not know them. People are not swayed by them.
I have seen too much of the attempted destruction of people through anti-government instincts, in which these people were sacrificed on the altar of anti-government hate. As I write this, my mind goes back to the son of the retired Chancellor of the Judiciary.
An accusation of verbal abuse was made against him by a woman, and he was persecuted by women activists without his side being made public. I heard his side, and he had points in his favour. He was a victim of people who see everything in anti-government light.
Those with the Faustian minds see society in gender-based perspectives where justice is a fruit to be delivered not to those who are entitled to it but to those who suit the anti-government purpose of those beyond moral redemption. Sections of this society are so morally empty that exposure is long overdue.
It simply lacerates your nerves when you see how predatory these people are, yet their paroxysm of anti-government energy is a mask for their own oceanic immorality. They should be the last to speak about women’s protection. When you’ve been around as long as I have, you see how immoral these people are and you are driven by the need to expose them.
Here are two examples. A so-called radical politician once had an affair with three women in a women’s rights organisation at the same time with the knowledge of all three. All three women are unapologetic about their hero’s conduct. Secondly, a divorce case should have resulted in serious charges of physical violence, but the accused is their friend.
If you are not their friend then you are hunted down. My perspectives are based on natural justice, and our commitment to natural justice should guide us at all times. Natural justice should not be gender-based. Justice is colour-blind. Humans are entitled to justice. Humans must have the right to be heard.
The Kafkaesque journey of those who are bent on seeing Guyana with political lenses must be confronted because justice is a casualty no sane society can afford to lose. This Draculean instinct is not going to stop. We saw how an entire hotel was burnt down and how the country on April 28, 2025, was attacked because every incident is given an anti-government twist.
These vultured minds are predators. They go out looking for victims. That is why I used the adjective Draculean. The society needs to fight back. We will lose the precious value of the right to justice if we allow people to be figuratively slaughtered by the insane cravings of those who cannot separate party from government.
