Gassama, let me reassure you that I am not losing anything, especially my mind. Yes! I remember when you were Kebba Jobe you sent us that mail. Did that mail give us ‘concrete figures’ on the foreign exchange we earned in this industry pre-1994 and post-1994? You said I could ask if I wanted concrete figures. I have asked you several times. Do you have the figures? Simple as that. You to not have to go berserk and start digging Kebba Jobe postings; especially ones that are NOT responsive to the matter at hand i.e. the foreign exchange earned in the industry. I will refresh your memory by quoting you what I asked you yesterday. “Now, I want Gassama to tell us in terms of numbers the huge ‘strides’ we made in the fishing industry. How much foreign currency did we earn pre-1994 and how much are we earning now?” I hope you get it into your thick skull this time around. Moving on. I almost laughed off my chair when I read your tirade about my statement that I do NOT give ideas to the mental midgets running our country. You are so hilarious. Are you all right? I hope you have sobered up by now. I always tell you to give yourself sometime after coming back from The Bar before you read and react to my mails. Because I do NOT give ideas to the illegal government back home that makes me insensitive to the plight of the people? Listen to yourself. I did NOT put my statement there for it to be missed by anyone. If you read my whole piece (with a sober head of course) you will realize that I did NOT even have to say that. It is obvious that I do NOT tell the mental midgets ideas that they can use and take credit for the development of our country. I want them to mess up so that people will get rid of them. My primary occupation is to find out where they are messing up and tell people. I am very proud of that. And I hope no one misses that. Believe me, if you can figure that out (in your alcoholic brain), over 90% of G_L subscribers can figure out that much. Remember around election time I used to send mails talking about Moving Forward. Therein I tried to give ideas that the Opposition can use. I will NEVER contribute to the ‘progress’ of the Dictatorship. This by no means suggests that I have problems with people that throw in good ideas here and there on G_L. I am a true Liberal. I will NOT give them ideas. Others can if they want to. Nothing wrong in that. When you say that I do NOT give a darn about the plight of our people (children as young as three slaughtered in broad daylight; farmers that would toil for the whole year and have nothing to show for their sweat; people like Dumo, abducted and illegally incarcerated) – your statement can only bother me if it had some semblance of truth in it. Clearly, everyone knows that these are the irrational rattling of a drunk. A mad man, a sycophant that has a little conscience. So, you know that people should care about the massacre of children as young as three? If you can be upset at me for not caring about those people, I wonder why you are not upset at the man that ordered the massacre of those children. See how sick you are? You are upset at me for a lot lesser crime than the cold-blooded murder of children. Then you turn around and sing the praises of child-murderers because you are scared about your job. See why your gibberish does NOT bother me? In the first place, not giving APRC ideas has nothing to do with the justice denied the families of the victims of April 10 and 11, 2000. Remember when I posted something on G_L showing the road-map on how Yaya can be convicted for the murder of our children? Remember how upset you were at me? I think you were also Kebba Jobe at that time. That road-map was the sort of ‘idea’ that impacts the massacre of our children. ‘Ideas’ about revitalizing the fishing industry has nothing to do with the massacre of our children. Between me and you I wonder who does not care for our children. Remember that I am the one showing road-maps to bring justice to the families. You on the other hand, got upset because I showed that Yaya was guilty. You also sent here mail blaming the children, their families and the Opposition for the massacre of our children. The farthest you have gone to laying blame on the real culprits was when you craftily tried to blame the massacre on Isatou Njie-Saidy because in your twisted brain Yaya could not have ordered the massacre since he was out of the country. Gassama, you are in for a rough ride, boy. Are you now acknowledging that people have been ‘illegally abducted and incarcerated’? That would be a first. See how you have again shown what a vermin you are? Remind us when you have EVER shown solidarity with Dumo et al by simply saying that their abduction and incarceration is illegal. Again, you are upset because in your mind I do not care about Dumo. Did you stop to think about the fact that I might be inconsiderate, but I NEVER abducted or incarcerated the man. We have you who shamelessly supports the people that abducted and incarcerated the man calling me inconsiderate. You are so funny. Gassama of all people. Gassama, who would not even acknowledge that we have people that are illegally abducted and incarcerated in the country. I have NEVER even met Dumo. You on the other hand told us that Emmanuel Joof and Muhammed Sillah were your friends. When this illegal government tried to railroad them, did people ever hear from you criticizing the illegal government like you are criticizing me now for not ‘caring’ about people? At times you make me wonder whether I am only dealing with a drunkard and not a lunatic too. I know I can ‘never convince you that I give a damn’ about other people. You are in denial. You want to believe that everyone has your same despicable traits. I am NOT a slave and will NEVER be one. You on the other hand, are worse than a slave. My job or my livelihood in NOT in the hands of some moron back home that goes around dismissing civil servants willy-nilly. Unlike you, I do NOT have to sing anybody’s praises to make ends meet. I do NOT have to try and please our farmers. I do NOT have to try and please Dumo and his family. I do NOT have to try and please our dead children. But it is incumbent upon me as a Gambian Citizen to at the very least say that it is wrong to steal from our farmers, abduct innocent citizens and slaughter defenseless children, as young as three. None of us should expect a quid pro quo for that. This might be foreign to you, but to some of us it is second nature to say that something is wrong when it is glaring before our eyes, come what may. You see something that is wrong, but are too scared to open your big mouth unless you want to sing praises for child murderers. I don’t want to convince you about anything regarding how you see me. Like I told you before, I do NOT give a darn how vermin like you see me. To me, you are like rats that need to be crushed. I wonder what make you bring pre-1994 to the discussion. Who says I want things to go back to pre-1994. I would have been fighting for different things on G_L had I wanted the country to back to pre-1994. Check the archives again and educate yourself about the battles I fight. Am I the one hugging Jawara and telling the whole world that the 1994 ‘coup’ was NOT justified after all? That AFPRC/APRC was all along lying about Jawara? Why are you not upset at Yaya for taking you back to pre-1994? Because you are wetting your pants just reading his name. I am NOT trying to intimidate Dr. Saine or anybody for that matter. What can be fairer than telling the man to tell the TRUTH or keep quiet if he does not want to hear from me? Did you hear me talk about the man and his trip before he came to G_L with that report? Did you hear me talk about other doctors that were major contributors on G_L that are currently in Banjul or just left Banjul? Let me tell you that I knew about these trips long before they happened. What I promised everyone on G_L (long before I knew who was going to Banjul) was that anybody that tells LIES about the country will be dealt with. Period. In conclusion, I would just point out that you stayed to your habits and DEVIATED from the topic under discussion (Gambian Private Sector) and instead embarked on personal attacks and spreading garbage. But, you more than anyone else know that I do NOT take prisoners. Let’s move on.
