(Kaieteur News) – This is the secular world. Not the space of the spiritual. It’s a world of sometimes subtle, other times, astonishing changes. The areas covered are endless. Filled with the contradictory. Where crimes are covered over (transgressions overlooked). Pursued for the Holy Grails of truth and justice, standards and models that brook neither disagreement nor pushback. Or, for dishonest and ultimately damaging objectives. Those are the first questions.
One of the changes referred to has to do with visas. Coveted American visas. Almost, if not, better than a birth certificate; as good as a president’s or pontiff’s seal of approval. Maybe held a step higher in many minds. The Judge Gino Persaud “visa review” development pushed me to that unpardonably subversive place. Thinking. How what is covered reveals the irony of contradictions. The changes and reversals that expose those who wear the crowns of presidents and untouchables follow.
