A Loathsome and Treacherous Deniability of Political Reality by Pre-judiciously Inspired Scapegoats

A colleague journalist heaved in the Sierra Express Media’s gossip forum on quote, “Here we go again. Monkey nor de leff in black hand. The divide and rule shenanigans of this reckless, unprincipled and rotten APC party are at it again….” By a hair’s breadth, do I cherish chipping in forums that promote ferocious chitchatting, because most shoddily-minded doctrinaires utilize such forums in an attempt to disguise their identities. Gossipers feel more comfortable with a tittle-tattle forum not only because they can conceal their identities but also because they don’t want those they’re shielding to recognize that they are iniquitous and corruptive political brutes who are manipulative liars as the means that can earn their living. It doesn’t appear like a bombshell to me when my colleague journalist sadistically lied against me (Stanley). He was a turncoat in one of our organizations in Freetown who rubbed, embezzled and misappropriated our organization’s money but always lied to defend his thievery, which forced our club to crumble.

Furthermore, the so-called Karim, who I believe to be my colleague, fears to appear in public debates because he understands that he is trying to intimidate someone like me (his colleague) who had rescued him numerously whenever he was in trouble or had encountered family tumult. I could have not seen such odious diatribe against a non political leader like me (Stanley), had I not been informed by some of my fellow journalists. The good thing in relation to such iniquity and impertinent assertion stems from the concept that I successfully distracted the authors of such disparaging statements against me. Based on those who are familiar with my work history and political life in Sierra Leone, the ill-mannered criticism by my colleague and anti-APC bandits against me won’t cost me a dime because their cock-and-bull stories are evidently untrue within public eyes.

Moreover, I have never held a political office in my life time. One may want to wander in mind why imprudently irrational elements such as Mr. Fake Karim go berserk in animalizing attacks against dependable journalists like me. Instead of promoting their party’s interest or going after suspected malpractices of political leaders and government bureaucrats, they focus on rebuffing the incontestable. Instinctively enlightened journalists who love their nation and like me should keep on tracking political missteps in order to be exposing the misconducts or unethical behaviors of political leaders, especially prevailing human rights abuses.

Meanwhile, I am always open to discussions with anti-APC critics who seem right-mindedly equipped towards assessment on any of my articles against assumed political vampires such as Mr. JOB and his cohort NPRC thugs. Wise-headed SLPP politicians will agree with me as time progresses that Mr. John Oponjo Benjamin is not a better choice for presidency compared to President Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma. I am attacking the ideas or misbehaviors but not individualities of political leaders, because they are paid out of public funds whether they are in or out of power.

If Mr. VM or Karim is consecrated with characteristic distinctiveness, he should openly join a forum that can identify him, which will deposit him on the threshold of credibility test. If Mr. Fake Karin and his ill-informed fellows are to uphold sincerity of purpose and are not sick-in-mind, they should be going after frightful politicians, while praising fastidious political leaders but not attacking journalists who attempt to censor the behaviors of public figures.

Nonetheless, my colleague’s tirade influenced my equanimity and made me sense excellence with reference to my article against Mr. JOB’s suspected human rights abuses during the NPRC.

Without a doubt, my article triggered psychological and emotional disturbances, and disillusionment based on profligacy imagination as well as venomous behavior in some ill-informed SLPP muggers including Mr. fake Karim/VM. Truthfulness with objectivity empowered my article against the suspected waywardness of the SLPP Chairman, Mr. John Oponjo Benjamin.

My publication/s hurt the feelings of many SLPP organizers and supporters. In addition, it prompted sycophantically oppositional idleness in many SLPP aficionados in their efforts to defensively flip-flop political truth like a snake-oil magpie in a leech islet. It is heartbreaking, especially when a once colleague journalist attempts to betray the credibility of another through character-assassination as the result of selfishness or hatred and jealous behavior such as the one portrayed in the Sierra Express Media’s gossip forum.

Suspiciously, I’ll not hesitate to emphasize that my colleague who is fictitiously hiding under the name, Karim, is paying adverse lip service in an attempt to cajole the SLPP to offer him a political appointment. He overlooked that he was an information agent during the NPRC who was also a whistle blower that leaked NPRC brutalities to foreign missions, while he was intermittently assigned to cover then NPRC’s Secretary of State but current SLPP Chairman, Mr. JOB. We always exchanged information on human rights abuses perpetrated by NPRC authorities during monthly cleaning exercises.

If Karim and his tribally dogmatized and ungodly anti-APC partisan thugs are honest to themselves, they will agree with me that I have written many articles even against APC dignitaries as well as Limba politicians. My writings are not influenced by tribal links or party affiliations. I can write whatsoever I think is newsworthy in the interest of objective and non partisan journalism.

With regards to political appointments in Sierra Leone, I have never attempted to lobby for any job although I am qualified to manage any position in my country. However, I don’t care who is appointed or not, as long as you are a Sierra Leonean. What I do care for is whether or not a political leader or senior civil servant is measuring up to average expectations. Although I don’t know exactly where he is residing at the moment, but we were against tribalism and unnecessary finger pointing before the fake Karim moved from New Jersey to Ohio. The fake Karim was against tribalism, because according to him his mother was a Creole by ethnic origin, while his dad was a Mende by tribe or vice versa. Nevertheless, the fake Karim has never attempted to defend the numerous persecutions that were inflicted on Creole dignitaries by the SLPP, yet he’s woofing against a truthful inquiry on suspected political misbehaviors of the SLPP Chairman, Mr. John Oponjo Benjamin.

Maturely, one of the respondents, Capt. Soriba (Rtd.) to my inquiry about the deaths of NPRC victims at the time when Mr. JOB was NPRC’s Secretary of State, did offer a meaningful contribution but refrained from barbarically distorting the context of my enquiry. The so-called hideous and fictitious Karim seems to be engaged in a type of campaign that maliciously employs coded jargons that appear to mean one thing to the general population but has a specific meaning for a targeted audience. Most partisan responses to the context of my previous article enquiring on Mr. JOB’s role in the deaths of NPRC victims seem perpetually pejorative. My enquiry seems to be judgmentally taken out of its context by injecting tribalism and partisan grubbiness in it with a premeditated subtext purported to disputing allegations against John O. Benjamin, while confusing such inquiry.

There is no ministry in Sierra Leone that has ever had me as a head of Department or political figure, which means that my colleague is campaigning not only to blackmail my untainted image but to advance his egocentrism and tribal animosity that is suggestive of a dog-whistle politics triggered by political dementia. Often than not, while a whistle is by and large heard and cherished by dogs, it appears insignificant or hushed to human hearing. In an attempt to continue acknowledging the dangers of tribal war and political neglect in Sierra Leone, Sierra Leoneans ought to materialize as citizens fed-up with the ravages of war as the result of tribal politics and insatiability. Sierra Leone is for Sierra Leoneans home and abroad, but there is no unique or specific tribe that owns Sierra Leone. Therefore, it is always more appropriate and humanly appealing for drooling political organizers and supporters to cautiously watch their mouths and make sure that they are not out of their minds when approaching public concerns. Like many others, we tend to be looking at things from different viewpoints, which guarantee our outlooks not to be discounted but to be tabled for negotiations that may perhaps compromise our individual differences. My next story will reflect on the much talked about EKUTAY association that was polluted by many double standards SLPP politicians who once abandoned SLPP only to become members of the then APC government of late Dr. Siaka Stevens (May His Soul Rest in Perfect Peace).
