Setting the record straight

Dear Editor,

It is not my style to respond to matters that I consider childish, nor do I want to waste a lot of time with politicians who are living in denial. There are two reasons why I’m addressing this matter. First, I know that whatever is done in the dark will seep through the light, whether we want it to or not. Second, there are times when some petty issues need to be addressed, just to expose the truth a little bit further.

A little over a month ago, a couple of friends sent me two very short videos of MP Ludmila de Weever expressing her thoughts that I’m obsessed with her (whatever that means). While watching the videos, I felt sorry for this professed politician, who thought that she was doing something good, but in turn has done more harm to her reputation, because this behaviour is the exact replicate of a child who is at the primary level.

MP De Weever, you know what I have learnt about people by observing them over the years? When someone is challenged and he or she cannot debate the matter because the reasoning is baseless, the defender becomes uncomfortable – uneasy, because he or she has been exposed, and this makes the individual vulnerable. So, the best course of action is for him or her to counteract the awareness that has revealed his or her true character.

MP Ludmila de Weever, I will address this matter from a professional and a personal perspective. First of all, you are a public figure; one who consistently states that when you make decisions, you make them in the best interest of the people. So, be honest with the people for once, MP De Weever. What decisions have you made, that have benefited the population during your tenure as a minister, and now as a Member of Parliament?

A politician who truly represents the people never displays any form of being thin-skinned nor does he or she vote against his or her party out of malice. MP Ludmila de Weever, can you stand at a mike and face the population, and tell us that you have not done everything that I have accused of? When you are done, depending on which route you choose to take, would your conscience be in sync with your choice?

You know what is bothering you right now, MP de Weever, you are backed in a corner because I have exposed the real you. Why don’t you tell the same people who you make the best decisions for, what you and the opposition plan to do after the budget has been approved? After all, you will be making the best decision for the people.

MP, there are some principles that are very dear to my heart. Two of them are: I do not damned the bridge that I crossed nor do I practice lying on others. You know what is very strange; you are a collector of my articles, because you found them to be very fascinating, until they were directed at you. Ask yourself these two questions: What was my purpose for writing those articles about you and do they have merit?

It’s a good thing that I have fans that look out for me because I received another video with your party leader, Melissa Gumbs, in an interview on Wednesday, December 4, 2024. So, I also have the same questions for her, because she too, is of the opinion that I am obsessed with you. Ha! The implication is so absurd. Both of you cannot imagine the adverse comments that the community has made about this absurdity.

It is so sad to see someone who was just sworn into the Executive branch stoop to that level of pettiness. And then the issue of the photo with MP Irion and MP Roseburg came up. Only now the situation became more laughable, because you and your party leader need to ask MP Irion who he considers to be the two weakest links in parliament and his strategies to capture them?

More appalling is that this is the same party leader who can’t wait for my articles to appear in the newspaper to distribute them in her chat. But now that the messages hit home, the articles are a problem. How hypocritical and naïve! Truly, birds of a feather do flock together! MP, neither you nor your party leader can stop me from writing. I will call out all of you politicians, whenever it is necessary.

From a personal perspective: MP Ludmila de Weever, there is nothing that you have that I desire. I was raised a privileged child, just like you. I never knew what it was to be hungry or to go bare-footed, unless I chose to. The only things that I did not grow up with are these smart devices that appeared just the other day. So, keep your notion of obsession to yourself, because the wider community does not share the same view.
