We are on the edge of a precipice into a very frightening abyss.(both politically and economically)
Our spin dictators , the mafiosi, at the helm of this country, have robbed our great traditions and institutions of their greatness, of our passion for fairness and impartiality, of our culture of discussion and tolerance, of our respect of our adversaries and our determination to frame policies for greater economic and social equity.
We have lost trust in our institutions - the foundation of our trust in our institutions is rooted in 53 years worth of nation building. It's gone before we could fully grasp what it was that happened, undermined and obliterated by the very custodians of our laws.

If the latter becomes subservient to the politicians , bows down to 'political interference', to the pressures exerted on the police service, this creates difficulties for the various forces to do their duty and to maintain the morale of their staff and there develops a deep mistrust of the police with the public …
The problem with trust is that if it is broken, then all acts committed by the perpetrators come under the purview of suspicion….
Lindley Couronne, Director of Dis Moi “ Personne be croit plus en la police d’Anil Kumar Dip.”

My wife seems to have developed some kind of paranoia putting our house upside down frantically searching for "planted ""drogue et munitions" ( I do not know whether it is a chronic form of delusion or senile dementia, I'll have to check with the Striking Team which seems to be cause of all these phobias with their "nouvelle opération "mazik" for those ”ki koz ban kozé ki pa bizin kozé”.
