During the course of this week there were two days worthy of note and observation, but which may have escaped our attention because of our understandable concerns and pre-occupation with the threats and dangers of COVID-19.
Wednesday 22nd April was Earth Day, one which calls for us to pay special attention to matters pertaining to the protection of this planet which is our home. Having been first observed in 1970, this year is the fiftieth anniversary of the occasion. Numerous plans had been made, on a global basis, to increase people’s awareness of the threats by which we are confronted on an ongoing basis.
It is truly ironic that people have been compelled to shelve those plans because of the raging effects of the worst pandemic in centuries.
Yesterday, Thursday 23rd April, was St. George’s Day. In the Christian Faith St. George is revered as the defender of the weak and the helpless. That is most worthy of remembrance, especially at this time when there is so much wickedness being inflicted on defenceless people all over the globe.
Our nation is a very special case. At this juncture we are suffering from the combined effects of the coronavirus and the machinations of a dictatorship in full gallop.
What tops it off is the fact that the current State of Emergency is being abused as a shield behind which they practice their devilry. In our final edition for February we reported on the ‘outing’ of a person named by a visiting tourist as the ‘Scammer’. That person, who had been ‘used’ by SCHEME UNITY for many years, apparently became disillusioned with the whole lot of them.
We believe that what has happened to him is that he eventually saw through the lies, deceits, and other forms of misrepresentation which constitute the main ‘stock-in-trade’ of SCHEME UNITY.
This most recent development is a powerful reminder that the present regime is a clear and present danger to our democracy, our system of government, and to our personal rights and freedoms. We all have to be of great courage, to stand tall, and be ready for them when we go to the polls. This lot has to go! We have to rid our country of this grave danger.
