Hamjatta, you have a unique way of reducing these vermin to the nonentities
they are. Before I move on, let me caution you to stop using the word vermin
or else Essa Sey will also think that you are Samsudeen Sarr. Now Sarr has
intellectual property rights to certain words in the dictionary. I also
noticed the vermin but I was just going to play along with him until he
makes a bigger blunder under his nomme de guerre and then we will deliver
his head to Yaya on a plate. He is the same fellow that sent that
nonsensical mail to Dr. Touray the other day. He thinks his hot air will
deter people from speaking the truth. Well, he cannot be further from the
truth. I do not care if he comes here as Alieu Keita or Essa Sey or Paul
Gomez or Sedat Senghore. Let us just engage him if he has something
important to say.

But if all he does is obsess about Sarr, let us just ignore him. It makes
him sick if he is ignored. Remember how Essa Sey begged Colly to read his
mails? Remember how Alieu Keita suddenly started interviewing himself when
both me and Ebrima Ceesay ignored his gibberish? See how he is desperately
trying to gain people's attention by regurgitating garbage about Sarr? The
man suffers from low self-esteem. Sick puppy. Let us not give him his
fifteen minutes. He is a man mad that cannot even write coherent sentences.
Ooops!! I must be Samsudeen Sarr because I am criticizing his writing. Guess
that also makes you and Prince extra Samsudeen Sarrs because you too
criticized Essa Sey's writings? This man is sick. But I am going to make him
become sicker.

Brother, you know that these vermin cannot move us. Now, if you or someone
like Saul were to sell-out (God Forbid), that would be devastating to me.
But these low-lives? Let them go to Hell. I care less what they think about
me or if they want to mortgage their souls to the Devil. Let them call us
hateful liars that tell horror stories about Gambia. Talk is cheap. What
they cannot do, is look us in the eye and debunk our 'lies'. The fact that
we do not have top APRC people coming here to defend the indefensible, is no
accident. They would love to stick it to us. Their problem is, the facts are
not on their side. Don't you think before running all the way to Banjul,
John Bojang would have loved to face Karamba and call Karamba a liar? Bojang
does not have the guts to do so in the brother's face. You see, there was
some comments from Sedat Jobe about the London Briefing that went unnoticed
on G_L. Jobe did not have the guts to criticize the Meeting in a forum where
the Movement participates. Jobe did not even have the guts to talk about the
Meeting in Gambia knowing that Hamat Bah and OJ were there. The coward went
all the way to Dakar where he was pimping for Yaya in order to muster the
courage to utter derogatory words about the Meeting. All for what? Two
houses he built courtesy of Yaya. Houses we are going to seize (in order to
teach the parasite a lesson) when all is said and done?

If they have to sell their souls, they should at least ask for bigger
prizes. You see, one fellow by the name of Lamin Jeng just demolished the
infantile and bogus story Yaya, Essa Sey and John Bojang peddle to Gambians.
I think I know this Jeng fellow, but I am not sure. In any case, if he is
the fellow I think he is, here we have a hardworking Gambian young Gambians
should be proud of and emulate. He did the right things as legislated by
society. Worked hard at school, got the good grades, hustled his way through
school, got a great job in a highly competitive society (where we all know
the odds stacked against people with our backgrounds), mind his own business
and raising his family. Not to take away anything from this man, I am glad
to report that there are many Gambians like Jeng in the U.S., in Britain,
Scandinavia, Ivory Coast, you name it. Contrast these people with the
low-lives that are running our country. High School drop-outs, no wives or
children before July 22, 1994, drunkards, drug addicts, liars, hypocrites,
thieves, any vice you can think of.

Instead of grown men like John Bojang addressing this bizarre situation,
what do they do? They tell their children to emulate Yaya. Essa Sey tells
Gambians to be grateful that Yaya is giving them the money he, Yaya, is
stealing from them. To these vermin, the world has turned upside down. Now
lies make sense. And the truth and good societal norms? They do not want to
hear it.

Bojang would rather go to Gambia and lie to the press that the Lamin Jengs
and Saul Khans and Damphas of this world are all asylum seekers, hateful
liars, that are only opposing Yaya because their fathers were
disenfranchised by Yaya. Essa Sey would rather come to G_L, ignore the fact
that people like Kabir Njie are working mighty hard in Scandinavia, instead
brand all of them as dole collectors simply because these people oppose
Yaya. All Bojang or Essa Sey need to know, is whether one opposes Yaya and
one is critical enough to realize that they (Sey and Bojang) have mortgaged
their souls to the Devil. Once they identify you on the other side, they
brand you as a good for nothing Gambian. What is more illogical than that?

As I said, I do not know this Jeng fellow for certain. If he turns out not
to share my views about Yaya, I might call him some things. But I will never
lie about the man. I will not say that his a loser that is seeking asylum in
the U.S. That is not true. I will engage the man on the ISSUES if we
disagree. But I will not smear the man and lie about him. That is exactly
what Bojang and his cohorts are doing. They lie about people that do not
share their views about intellectual prostitution. But, what they do not
realize is that their audience is more intelligent than them. The audience
they are preaching to, are our families we send money to every day. No
matter how many lies Bojang tells, Jeng will not be an asylum seeker or lose
his job and his family. They can lie till day break, but they cannot take
away people's hard earned degrees and their integrity. On the other hand, no
matter how hard they try, they will remain uncouth nonentities. No amount of
honorary degrees can make Yaya and engineer. No amount of massaging his
resume will make Essa Sey a fine soldier like Sarr or a fine gendarme like
Chongan.

These Yaya people do not realize what they are dealing with. Hamjatta, these
barbarians should be calling you Mr. Kanteh for teaching them how to lead
decent lives as human beings. Your focus on this breed of Gambians now
towards the election is quite timely and a noble endeavor on your part.
Thanks again for your contributions.
