LONG POST ALERT***
To the PNM this Monday morning:
(If you're not PNM, with gratitude I ask that you keep your unfavorable comments to yourself, please.)
Recently, coping with the PNM leadership and its surrogates has been taxing for me. I cannot fathom the complacency, lack of credibility, poor leadership ability, incompetence, plain and simple incertitude that abounds in these perilous times in our nation. We have a convoluted bunch as the executive, where position and power are their only goals, other than creating ways to keep their own power and position.
Matters that are simple and straightforward appear to be Twentieth Century Fox productions to them, and I am neither amused nor entertained in any way.
People have been calling me and sending messages through Messenger and WhatsApp, seeking the whereabouts of the Social Media people and asking me for clarification on SOFA and other matters of national concern. I am not it!! Like a few others, I have been laboring on social media on their behalf since 2010. Don't they plan to labor, too? What is all this power and position that they so craved for??
My last nerve was snapped when a member of a foreign national security outfit told me that my Opposition Leader was deemed to be irrelevant, clearly articulating that their assessment of her brought no great value; plain and simple. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TOLD, and it cannot be explained away.
Someone opined that listening to the Opposition Leader is like taking an anesthetic. I have heard many other unfavorable comments and assessments, however, all this is unfair and unnecessary. Unfair, because it's not our fault, and unnecessary, because we really should not have to go through this.
To anyone who says that all the adverse comments of the past years regarding the OL were untrue, I would agree. However, for the evidence that now plays out before our eyes, where can our defense be found??
We just cannot go on this way of unnecessarily long, ineffective, watery and meandering Facebook posts and Press Releases, or late acknowledgement and attention to serious matters in the nation. It is like we have no chart or compass and the UNpatriotiC are having a field day.
So, do we expect to win by default when the UNC has failed?? What are we offering the nation in this new PNM LEADERSHIP?? I saw SOME young and energetic MPs at the Standing Finance Committee meetings this week, in whom we can all place our confidence for the future. I'm looking at Scotty, Manning, Dominic, Hans, Birchwood and Stuarty. They are uncompromised and untainted by the machinations of this executive and its manipulative and confused power. I applaud all of them with pride and eager anticipation. HOWEVER, if the UNC were to collapse TODAY.....WHAT?? We sing "Whispering Hope"?
Don't tell me about time and it only has been six months because we do not need to take a candle in the night to see what is clearly visible in the day. It is not like we do not have political acumen or we cannot read the room that is Trinidad and Tobago. This is an advanced era and our audience expects advanced strategies.
Where is Eric Williams' RALLY FOR ALL that is the PNM??
P.S. I am adding this footnote from the Holy Scriptures: Hebrews 12:6-11
"For whom the Lord loves He chastens,
And scourges every son whom He receives.”
I reserve the right to chasten the PNM. I have worked long and hard for this movement and what I am witnessing is unacceptable.
