IS ISLAM A RELIGION OF PEACE?.If Muslims have problems with traditional authorities in Tafo, why did they attack Christian churches. Mahama sees all these yet he will not condemn them. The last time, Muslims burnt down a christian Mission house in Atebubu and that one too he did not condemn it. Muslims went on demonstration in Takoradi for equal right in Christian schools and that one attracted condemnation from Mahama against Christian missionary schools. Why is it so? Is it because Mahama sees christians as too docile to be respected?

SOURCE: NPP COMM.------
Dr. Bawumia pointed out that the NDC had increased Ghana’s debt in seven years by GHC90 billion, from GHC9.5 billion at the end of 2009 to some GHC99 billion currently; an equivalent of some 37 billion dollars at the time of borrowing.

“First, If you sum the cost of all the loan financed projects listed in the green book (even including those with artistic impressions, it is less than $7 billion. Meanwhile, the government has borrowed the equivalent of $37 billion so where is the rest of the money? Indeed, given the resources at its disposal one should expect at least four times the quantum of investment that the NDC claims to have undertaken”, Dr. Bawumia said, as he began listing the six reasons.

Dr. Bawumia proceeded to list a number of things the over 30billion dollars from borrowing the NDC cannot account for, could have done, which proves that contrary to the claims, the NDC has done a bad job at giving Ghanaians their due after undertaking unprecedented borrowing in the last seven years.

He seems to be the only smart man in the NPP doing politics, congrats Bawumia. This is what the opposition ought to do, put the ruling party on its toes and subject them to scrutiny. You are different unlike the uncough Asante tribalist in the NPP whose only weapon is tribalism. Keep teaching them how to do politics and hopefully a better party can come to power.

I am a tall young bared headed man. I have lost the chance of getting a grey hair through a thick cumulous wee smoke I entered during one of my nocturnal visit to a wee smoking old man whom I share a common dream with.

The wee smoke nearly marred our vision; thank God we were able to get good medical practitioner to provide us with thick lens spectacle equivalent to the bottom of Coca Cola bottle.

I have strong common characteristics with this old man and some uncommon ones too. Consider the following:

We have both lost our fathers ( Mine died peacefully whilst the old man’s father died a criminal.

Our fathers were Politician’s Mine is a honest man in a very prestigious political party whilst the old man’s father was a thief and a traitor in an extremist party.

We all studied economics in school - I hold a doctorate degree in economics whilst the old man has 3rd grade bachelor’s degree.

I have certificates and work experience but the old man has nothing to prove his academic qualification apart from being a minister of state.

The dreams of our fathers are very similar that we shall one day become head of state of Ghana.

I have good experience in money laundering which is clearly manifested during the redenomination exercise of the country currency something in common with the old man’s father. This motivated the old wee smoker to offered me a hand shake to be partners in crime to fight a course of ruling the people at all cost..

The Ganja old man is skilful in narcotics whilst I am skilful in manipulating balance sheets . After much deliberations which I will tell you later; we agreed to run on a ticket of a certain Acid party to loot big time. Since we have all dissipated the resources bequeathed to us by our parents.

I have tried my best by lying much as per the advice of the Ganja old man, I have been to the Mecca to throw a stone at the devil to pave the way for me, However during my stone throwing the devil threw a bigger stone which I had to ran away to save my dear life. The devils stone killed many. I then reviewed my strategy to visit every local mosque. Unfortunately the Ganja old man has caused a sacrilege by easing himself on the mosque “Eeeeeiiiii Opanyin Bon” I shouted Allah will punish you I said.

Little did I know that this act of sacrilege is the doom of our dreams. I am afraid of my Moslem brothers to enter the Christian church too as they have large followers . It is unfortunate that all my efforts have been in vain. I have lied and professed falsely against all credible state institutions just earn some following but all to no avail this is my last chance since I have no other job than the peanut coming from a benevolent Christian pastor. “EGYA M3KA …MEDI NKWASEAS3M” I should have listen to my father and follow his footsteps. WHO AM I ????

DR. BAWUMIA HAS THROWN JUST ONE STONE, AND I KNOW IT WILL BRING A BAD FEELING TO ALL THE WICKED NDC AND THEIR EQUALLY CALOUS FOLLOWERS;--'-------

Dr Bawumia said for example that a runway rehabilitation alone at Kumasi airport cost this country $23.8 million whereas a proposed airport at Ho is estimated at $25 million; and asked sarcastically, “was the runway in Kumasi paved with gold?”

He insisted that given the resources at its disposal, one should expect at least four times the quantum of investment that the NDC claims to have undertaken, saying, “The close to $30 billion of borrowing that was not used for projects could have been used for other critical sectors of the economy.

He mentioned the rail network from Accra to Paga, the water problems, energy, many major road projects in each region, transformation of agriculture particularly in the Northern Regions, Afram Plains and others through investment in machinery, irrigation and dams as some of the projects that the huge amount of money could have covered.

He also said the amount could have been used to build one world class hospital in each region, buy at least 1,000 ambulances, set up factories with the private sector across the country to add value to raw materials and create jobs, equip existing health and education institutions with state-of-the-art facilities as well as build an additional 600 of the Senior High Schools the government is currently trying to build.

According to Dr Bawumia, the reason why he insists the NDC government is attempting to hoodwink Ghanaians with claims of massive infrastructural investments is that “Most of these projects are over-priced as a result of the single source procurement method, which has become the procurement method of choice for this government, as we saw in the SADA, GYEEDA, Karpowership, SMARTTYS bus branding, etc.”

He articulated, “I would like to see for example explanation from the government quantity surveyors of the costing on the Kumasi airport runway for $23.8 million. However, you and I know that they would not explain because they cannot explain.”

He said all previous governments, especially the NPP, undertook infrastructural projects but the NDC is making it look like it has done what nobody did, saying, “The real fact is that the NDC has no real achievements to point to outside the undertaking of some projects; hence, their resort to mediocrity.”

Dr Bawumia also said infrastructural investment was not supposed to be for its own sake but to increase productivity and production in the economy. “If you have indeed undertaken massive and unprecedented infrastructural investment, then why is the economy collapsing?

“Why is the NHIS in trouble? Why is unemployment on the increase? Why are businesses collapsing? Why is agricultural growth stagnant? Why is manufacturing growth negative? Why is the government having difficulty meeting statutory payments? Why the high interest rates? Why the massive exchange rate depreciations? Why are the SADA guinea fowls flying to Burkina Faso? Why the massive increase in utility prices? Why the withdrawal of teacher and nursing training allowances? Why all this suffering in the land?” he asked.

Are you a Ghanaian? Do you understand the comments that the learned economist has postulated here?

Are you this partisan that you don't see the sad story here, the fact that as a nation our future is being mortgaged for consumption today?

If you think like this, then God help us. At this rate, what is going to happen to our children?

Having borrowed so much is this all that can be done? This gives credence to the incompetence charge. In the next few days foot soldiers of the ruling party, who can barely read are going to start attacking this renowned economist, who despite all the personal attacks had been proved right in all his previous predictions and pronunciations?

There was no explanation how the Minister came by that amount of money. again,while 25 million Ghanaians had to make do with only 13.6% stake in the Jubilee field,2 NPP top shots,George Owusu and Ambassador Edusei, both pals of President Kufuor,were given 3% shares which amounts to a colossal US$300 million. do not pretend to be clean when you are not.

Why should a project underway in every region come from the flagstaff house. The regional ministers are for what ? And what is the system of auditing that goes under these projects ? Your are clueless and a partisan for a party sake.The fact of losing your party as a gouvernment worries you more than the development in this country ! Dr. Bawumia is right ! And if you could only see the waste in expenses this Mahama gouvernment plays on ghanaians incomes, you will actutely regret sideling on partisanship.

The NPP were on rooftops shouting "Dumsor.... Dumsor " whilst the NDC were quietly undertaking infrastructural developments/projects..Now that the Dumsor is over, they have all of a sudden woken up to the reality on the ground about all the projects going on . Seeing defeat staring them in the face they are beginning to panic having wasted 3/4 years shouting dumsor. They have now resorted to attacking the EC and other institutions. Akuffo Addo is now begging Ghanaians to give him a chance/try him. Never heard of someone begging to serve his country. This shows that the man has ulterior motives.... But I have a message for him..... HE CAN NEVER BE THE PRESIDENT OF KWAME NKRUMAH's GHANA.

You have already torn the development projects into shreds, why are you now asking for the costs? Chronic unemployment is making Bawumia develop a syndrome of a lotto forecaster whose numbers never drop. Since the disappointment at the Supreme Court, this countryman from Walewle has tried his hands on fortune telling using figures, graduating from pink sheets to project costs. as the adage goes, figures don't lie, but Bawumia can figure. Why must you chose unemployment and waste your God given talent by pursuing a lost cause, where even your rival continues to beat you in your backyard? Since 2013, what productive thing has Bawumia done apart from polluting the minds of Ghanaians with unfounded allegations and faulty predictions with his conjured lotto numbers?

Since Nana Addo is campaigning on the achievements on the previous 8yrs rule of Kuffour, it stands then to reason to measure Nana Opana on the failures and ills of the same 8 yr. rule.

1. NPP WERE SO CORRUPT that even the cat will pay homage to them. Meaooow!!!!!!!
2. ‘Agyinamoah npo etwa NPP pruse”. Meaooow!!!!!!!
3. For every Minister Pres. Kuffour appointed both the substantive and the deputy had a SPECIAL ASSISTANT.
4. For each contract that was awarded the special assistant was to ensure all the loopholes are sealed and the Mess is clean.
5. The SPECIAL ASSISTANT also apart from mopping up all the traces of malfeasance also negotiate the kickbacks.
6. Haruna Esseku confirmed that all the kickbacks were kept at the castle.
7. Kuffour and by extension NPP will ask for evidence for any corrupt deal reported for they are aware they have clean their tracks.
8. With the might of the pen they change everything. I believe in the adage the Pen is mightier than the sword.
9. No matter how hard you investigate you will hit a rock. They are bold to dare anyone to provide evidence. They have wiped their ass clean.

The 8 Year rule of Kuffour and the NPP saw the period of the greatest corruption scandals and mass looting ever witness in Ghana. Kuffour never for once investigated any corruption case brought under his presidency. Kuffour would ask his critics to bring evidence or forever shut up, Opana the Attorney General would go mumu. See no evil talk, no evil whilst the country was milked dry.

In JM we have a president who would investigate any case of malfeasance, though we believe he could do more by being militant about it. Don’t you love this president?

For every Minister that was appointed UNDER the Kuffour administration was a special assistant. The special assistant to the ministry must be a crack Lawyer. That Lawyer must be certified by the Minister of Justice and Attorney General Nana Akuffo Addo.

His / her main duty is to mop up all the traces of corrupt contracts that was being awarded as and when it happens. Ensuring that they sweep all the traces beyond recognition. Special Assistants to the Ministers were appointed to be cleaning the mess dead end.

Is it therefore any wonder that they would ask for evidence of any fishy deal reported? Now the pot is calling the charcoal black. Man trust NPP they really are clever. You must respect them. Even the cat pays homage………

See no evil talk, no evil whilst the country was milked dry.

1. VRA lost ?14bn in a deal with Sahara- Kuffour asked critics to bring evidence or forever shut up, Opana the Attorney General go mumu. See no evil talk no evil
2. President Olusegun Obasanjo has denied giving a $13 million loan to Ghana for the purchase of police cars
3. 100 Police Cars cost $1.375 NOT $13 million - Kuffour asked critics to bring evidence or forever shut up, Opana the Attorney General go mumu. See no evil talk no evil
4. The NDC group in parliament wanted an explanation of the circumstances under which funds were secured for the purchase of the vehicles especially since the government claimed to be adherents of a policy of zero tolerance for corruption - Kuffour asked critics to bring evidence or forever shut up, Opana the Attorney General go mumu. See no evil talk no evil
5. Authorities in the U.S. and Ghana are investigating the Ghanaian company EO, which hit the jackpot with a share in the largest of all recent offshore discoveries in Africa – the Jubilee oilfield. - Kuffour asked critics to bring evidence or forever shut up, Opana the Attorney General go mumu. See no evil talk no evil
6. Cosmos- EO is suspected of using ties to the Kufuor administration to gain preferential terms, according to a financial times report. - Kuffour asked critics to bring evidence or forever shut up, Opana the Attorney General go mumu. See no evil talk no evil
7. Who is behind EO?
8. EO was created by two US-based Ghanaians. Kwame Bawuah Edusei, the E in the company, is a medical doctor, stalwart of the former ruling New Patriotic Party(NPP), and according to his political allies a friend of ex-president Kufuor. He was appointed ambassador first to Geneva and then Washington, where he served until last January.
9. George Owusu, the O in the group, was a Houston-based businessman who worked for oil companies including as a commodities manager for Royal Dutch Shell. Until recently he was also the representative for Kosmos in Ghana.

10. US oil giant, Anadarko International Oil Company, has blown the whistle on the shape of how oil exploration licenses were awarded under the NPP government, saying they and their partners, Hess, were asked to part with 5% of their stake to, ‘an unknown Ghanaian party,’ as a condition for being awarded the South Deepwater Tano block for oil exploration.

“We were informed that if we made such a strong bid, it would overcome a previous demand by then Chairman of GNPC, Stephen Abankwa, that we carry an unknown Ghanaian party for five percent (5%) something neither Hess nor Anadarko can do, given that we are both subject to the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other related US legislation,” Anadarko revealed.

Anadarko, who had put up an individual bid, alongside Hess and others, stated in a protest letter to the Minister of Energy, Dr. Joe Oteng-Adjei that the above demand, was made of them after they were encouraged by GNPC to combine their individual bids for a joint one.

11. NIK AMARTEIFIO Nik Amarteifio is a bosom friend of former President Kufuor, he is also the man who brought Telenor to replace Telekom Malaysia. Telenor, according to a recent government investigation criminally run down Ghana Telecom. - Kuffour asked critics to bring evidence or forever shut up, Opana the Attorney General go mumu. See no evil talk no evil
12.
Kufour’s government paid Telenor a whopping $600,000 for the business plan they used to secure a Ghana Telecom management contract in response to an international advertisement inviting strategic investors to partner Ghana Telecom. Eventually, Telecom Malaysia sued the government in an international arbitration and walked away with a handsome compensation.
Kuffour asked critics to bring evidence or forever shut up, Opana the Attorney General go mumu. See no evil talk no evil
13.
Nik was appointed by former President Kufuor to serve on the board of Bank of Ghana, and was rumored to be the President’s ear on activities at the Central Bank of Ghana.

Nik’s offshore investments, which stretch from Channel Islands in the UK to his equity stock option in Canada are under investigation by The Enquirer. Kuffour asked critics to bring evidence or forever shut up, Opana the Attorney General go mumu. See no evil talk no evil

14. STEPHEN SEKYERE-ABANKWA Mr. Stephen Sekyere-Abankwa, who was appointed by President Kufuor to serve as GNPC Board Chairman, remains a very close pal of the former President Kufuor. He is rumored to have served as a quiet financial advisor to the former President.

Mr. Abankwa, is currently the Managing Director of Prudential Bank Ltd in Ghana.

During the Ghana@50 celebrations, the Office the President guaranteed about $10 million for him and his partners to secure a loan facility from the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) to construct residential accommodation. By press time yesterday, Mr. Abankwa and his group had still not been able to pay up the loan they took from workers’ pension contribution. Interest on the loan has reached about 4 billion Cedis. Kuffour asked critics to bring evidence or forever shut up, Opana the Attorney General go mumu. See no evil talk no evil

15. MOSES BOATENG When Energy Minister, Dr. Joe Oteng-Adjei, referred the Anadarko letter to the then Managing Director of GNPC, Mr. Moses O. Boateng for his response, he gave the minister what could at best be described as half-truths in a letter dated March 9, 2009.

Mr. Boateng stated, for instance, that “In terms of financial and technical capabilities the two companies were found to be almost at par and GNPC would be indifferent as to which of them was eventually awarded the block.”

This assertion is not supported by the facts as a cursory glance at the track record of Aker ASA, Anadarko, Hess and Chemu, would leave no one in doubt that the two US companies, Anadarko and Hess are streets ahead of their Norwegian and Ghanaian counterparts in their technical and financial capabilities as well as all other departments of the oil industry.

Again, in a table that purported to compare the terms of the Hess-Anadarko and Aker ASA applications for the Tano Deepwater, Mr. Boateng was not forthright with the minister. He actually, matched the raw bid of Hess-Anadarko against the negotiated terms under the Aker ASA – Chemu Power agreement. Kuffour asked critics to bring evidence or forever shut up, Opana the Attorney General go mumu. See no evil talk no evil

16. This obviously was to misrepresent to the new minister that the bid of the latter was better.

However, a review of the Petroleum Agreement signed with Aker ASA, revealed that contrary to the requirements of the Petroleum Exploration and Production Law, PNDC Law 84, the company neither registered nor incorporated a company under the laws of Ghana.

That Agreement was ratified by Parliament on November 5, 2008. But Aker ASA, got Aker Ghana Limited incorporated on October 29, 2008 with certificate of incorporation number, CA-51,646, to commence business on October 30, 2008.

Aker ASA sought to assign its interest to Aker Ghana Limited, as a means of regularizing the agreement. However, by a letter dated December 30, 2009 the Energy Minister, declined the request, since the original agreement was invalid.

According to him, “The assignment you have requested is legally impossible in view of the underlying failure of compliance with the law.”

The minister, by a copy of that letter advised GNPC to reimburse Aker ASA with costs incurred in acquiring data, since such data acquired belonged to GNPC. He notified Aker ASA that it was going to reactivate negotiations which had commenced previously with the Anadarko/Hess application.

The relevant clauses under Section 23(15) of the Petroleum Exploration and Production Law PNDC Law 84, states that a contractor (foreign company):

“which is not an incorporated company in Ghana under the Companies Code, 1963 (Act 179) shall (a) register an incorporated company in Ghana under the provisions of the Companies Code, 1963 (Act 179) to be authorized to carry out solely petroleum operations in respect of which a petroleum agreement or petroleum sub-contract has been entered into under this Law and such signatory shall be a signatory to any petroleum agreement;”

“(b) maintain an office or establishment in Ghana to carry out petroleum operations and shall have in charge of such office or establishment a representative with full authority to act and to enter into binding commitments on behalf of the contractor or sub-contractor, as the case may be; and, continues with subsection (c) that:

“In respect of such petroleum operations, open and maintain an account with a bank in Ghana.”

Companies, such as Kosmos Energy, Tullow Oil, Anadarko, Sabre Oil and Gas Holdings have all registered their companies under Ghana’s Companies Code, to facilitate their compliance with the law before entering into petroleum agreements for their blocks. Kuffour asked critics to bring evidence or forever shut up, Opana the Attorney General go mumu. See no evil talk no evil

17. THE NORWEIGIAN CONNECTION

One shocking revelation from the GNPC boss to the Minister was that in awarding the South Deep Water Tano block to Aker ASA, they were influenced by factors such as “The Norwegian Government’s Support to Ghana in restructuring the oil and gas industry together with their support for training of Ghanaian staff” The GNPC boss further noted that “the keen interest of the Norwegian Ambassador in GNPC affairs became a plus in favor of Aker”

According to Mr. Boateng, one other consideration for awarding the field to Aker ASA was the fact that “.there were relatively too many American companies in the basin namely, Kosmos, Hess, Anadarko and Vanco,” but “There were only two European companies - Tullow and Vitol, the decision was to spread and therefore favored Aker.”

The above has generated a geo-political controversy as to whether the Norwegian government twisted the arms of the previous government in awarding the field to Aker.

Observers say the mention of the interest of the Norwegian Ambassador is akin to the controversial role played by the British Ambassador to Ghana in the sale of Ghana Telecom to Vodafone, a British telecom giant. - Kuffour asked critics to bring evidence or forever shut up, Opana the Attorney General go mumu.

Bawumia shoulld rather tell us his A Lever grades in Tamasco first before we can trust his capacity to analyse our economy. 11% investment in infrastructures in an economy that was Ghc 28 bn amount to Ghc 3bn. With our current GDP of all most Ghc160bn the 5.7 % investment amount to Ghc 9.12bn. Secondly npp left a debt of USD 8.1 and Ghc 1bn domestic debt in 2008. The USD8.1 bn now translates into cedi at current rate of 4 Ghc to s dollar which is now amounted to Ghc 32.4 bn. The reason is that, Ghana under HIPC got consersonary loans some of which had 40 years moratorium. These loans are still in our books and any time cedi depreciates the value goes up in terms of cedi. So for Bawumia to say npp left 9 bn Ghc in2008 is either his disability in economics is showing up or he is being dishonest. Bawumia, the quetion I want to ask is, what was your A level results in Tamasco? This will enable us trust the figures you are given us.

Bawumia, pls be a professional or at least try and act like it. You are gradually losing respect of some of us neutral minds with understanding in economics, statistics and finance. Every project is approved by parliament where you can verify. Every loan is also not for projects...so lazily mentioning $7B project cost against $37B loans give you away as just playing politics. Our constitution cleary defines roles for bodies such as the auditor general, finance sub-committee of parliament etc to approve, monitor, and audit public finances. Going around and taunting government to come and account for cost of loans sounds petty and uninformed.

BAWUMIA AND THE ELEPHANTS CHANGED OUR OLD CEDIS FOR THE CURRENT SPIRITLESS CEDIS BUT REFUSED TO TELL US HOW MUCH MONEY HE AND HIS COMRADES INCRIME USED IN CHANGING THE OLD CEDIS TO THE CURRENT ONE. EVEN REGARDING THE FLAGSTAFF HOUSE WHEN THE THEN CHIEF OF STAFF OF THE ELEPHANTS WAS ASKED TO TELL GHANAIANS THE COST OF THE FLAG STAFF HOUSE, HIS REPLY WAS THAT UNTIL THE PROJECT WAS COMPLETED HE WOULDNT BE IN A POSITION TO TELL GHANAIANS THE COST. HE NEVER DID UNTIL THEY LEFT POWER IN 2009. OH HOW I WISH FOR A PROPER REVOLUTION, THESE CRIMINALS WILL CONTINUE MILKING GHANA UNTIL IT BECOMES LIFELESS.

Is Bawumia asking for the cost of non existing projects? Come on Bawumia!!! You can't twist facts to suit your political expediency. This means taking the people of Ghana for granted. You are not trustworthy and Ghana can't bank on you and your folks ( NPP) We have taken a lot of dust on our eyes. You are out of our minds.

Secondly, where did u get ur information that de anchor cannot hold so IMF shld treat our bailout with a pinch of salt. Try and do proper research before u come out to speak. Dont waste our tym at all. If u need help go to parliament of ghana for information since projects of that magnitude required de approval of parliament. Bawumia shld tell us whether sole sourcing is illigal in itself. Dr. u need to know that some of countries that give us loans require that their companies execute de contract. Hence can not be opened to competitive bidding processes. What i expect your gudself to tell us is whether those projects are beneficial to ghanaians. Initially your position was that govt is not doing anything, now u have shifted to over pricing of projects. Dont put your credibility on line becoz there are serious minded pple in ghana

Yes, Bro, this style of politics from the NPP that we read most often in here is a renowned ancestral strain of inheritance passed on from the very cradle of their birth into our mainstream politics as a nation. Lying is their lifeblood, propagating falsehood is their strength, tribalism is their motto and kalabulism is their survival.

These, my dear friend, are the very composition of the NPP party we know of today. However, modern technology has brought to the forefront before the masses as to how they really are. So, they can lie all they want, but can't run from their lies any longer. Not too long ago, they were all over preaching that the NDC Party is “do nothing” a party. Suddenly, projects are all over the place and the NDC is hit with bloating on these projects instead, huh?

The torturing, labeling or accusing of the victim (the electoral commissioner) in any form of sacrifice is violence. Charlote has become a surrogate victim which the oppositions even including moderators and the so called bishops and men of God or ‘gods’ want to use as a surrogate to appease their gods of violence. Lately Charlote Osei has become their surrogate victim whom they seek and finds because she is vulnerable and closest at hand. In other words, such a surrogate victim, Challote is the “scapegoat for those who need someone to vilify because of their own failures.
In scapegoating of this nature, Charlote Osei the ritual victim of her detractors is innocent but pays for the guilty parties, her adversaries. In fact, what is the moral distinction which her opponents could draw?
To explain more, the relationship between the potential victim and the actual victim cannot be defined in terms of innocence or guilt. Because those opposed to Charlote are seeking to deflect from the crime, a relatively indifferent victim i.e. a “sacrificiable” victim needs to be found. Otherwise, the violence would be vented on the community, which people desire to protect. The opposition to Charlote cannot pounce on her as a sacrificial victim to atone for the accumulated sins incurred by her opponents since the inception of this country.
Those who are intellectuals and all those well informed in knowledge and wisdom should judge if it is justifiable for the innocent Charlotte to suffer for the blood thirsty and corrupt guilty opponents with their hidden agendas in this country.
