A new beginning

FeaturesA new beginning

The great Shakespeare in Julius Caesar uses the image of “tides” twice to describe the momentous movements in the affairs of man’s history. The image is first used when Caesar crosses the Rubicon, taking his army into Rome, which was forbidden; but he defied the law and Rome subjected it to one-man rule.

But, when Brutus and his fellow conspirator and assassin were met by Octavian and Mark Antony at Phillipi, he argued with the image of the “tides” in reference to the affairs of men to convince Cassius to attack the opposing forces. As a result, he strained their resources. They were overwhelmed and lost.

I am no Arnold Toynbee, but I fervently believe that there is a Lord of History. Last week we celebrated our belief in His Resurrection, and today, Divine Mercy Sunday, we Catholics proclaim His love for mankind and believe that sometime, one of these days, He will return to establish his kingdom.

His reign began in a backwater colony of the great Roman Empire. Perhaps its fulfilment will also start in a little backwater colony, former colony, of the greatest empire ever.

….

Making a statement on Friday, the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister made a pledge to Belize that should be unforgettable. He promised that in this critical moment when Belizeans are facing the probability that many could be left out of the breadline, NO ONE would be left out. It would be remiss of me if I allowed personal animosity against him to keep me from signalling how epochal his commitment was, or could be. And I am speaking at a time when my words could be used to dissuade voters lining up against his party.

It is to be noted that Mr. Barrow was speaking three days before we Catholics celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday, an opportunity for all of us, especially Christians, to hang our heads and beat our breasts, beseeching the help of the Risen Saviour, the Lord of History, who can save us.

What specifically do I believe that the Lord of History can do for us?

Our constitution was written by an Anglican Christian and proposed by a Roman Catholic, and it is almost incredible that even their own party have been acting during the past thirty-eight years, as though the clearly, concisely enunciated principles were written in an indecipherable language.

It is wondrous to me that an education minister could have introduced in our House of Representatives a Bill which presents immoral behaviour as acceptable, though it threatens the very moral fabric of our nation and the destruction of family.

For the record, may I here state that I do not care which political party wins Election 2020. This means I have no personal interest.

So, what do we recommend for the upcoming polls?

The national agenda must include a schooling of the nation on the Judeo-Christian principles on which our nation was supposedly founded — what are they? Do you think any of our present representatives can name even three of them?!

So far it SEEMS that the foundational principles upon which our nation was built are like these: there is no God; rights are what the rich and powerful say they are; freedom is what you want; there is no absolute truth: there is only your truth and my truth; the international order that we follow is what the international financing organizations tell us to follow. Wow! What I am writing is no exaggeration. Our national goals have been, and are being set, by those who lend us money to provide bribes to voters. Sadly, this is real! It is the truth!

No one to be left out. Our Prime Minister is now talking like the Baymen of Old, pledging to shed the last drop of blood to defend the native land and every single soul in it.

….

It has never occurred to me that I should work to support any foreign agenda.

Though Almighty God is supreme but invisible, he chose to begin to reveal himself through Abraham, his descendants, and finally Jesus Christ, whom his own people crucified because he wanted to be Messiah to all mankind — not only to Israel. Is it possible that at this time the Lord of History is calling little Belize to denounce the Liberal Agenda by following the principles of our Constitution?

Is God providing us with the powder that we need for the cannons of truth?

What is this I have been hearing about the W.H.O. and the history of CORONAVIRUS?

Don’t look for truth where it is not! Do you think that the purveyors of the Equal Opportunity Bill (EOB) are really interested in your wellbeing or mine? NO! They are promoting an agenda to make homosexuality ELITE. If it becomes law, their “politically correct” strategy will forbid you to say the truth: that homosexuality is meant to destroy marriage — one man, one woman and children in a stable relationship. If you accept EOB, you are thereby giving away your FREEDOM of EXPRESSION by accepting political correctness.

Next election I will welcome all candidates who wish to ask for my vote. I will decide strictly on the issues. Their true intentions will be revealed to me by their answers to my questions. First question: Do you really believe in God? I will include questions on the other basic principles of our Constitution, including “a just and equitable international order”: do you think that it is feasible if we keep on supporting abortion as a just solution to population control? Do you think that we should continue to support international organizations that do not tell the truth and do not practise objectivity and fairness in dealing with all member countries, and who control their officers to ensure that they maintain integrity and honesty in dealing with ALL countries?

Friends, I am showing all the cards in my hands. I can and am telling you that I have sworn to the Almighty that I will accept no earthly reward for the speaking of the true issues, if they be successful.

My reward will be to see the poor and humble exalted by being respected by the most powerful and rich. The leader that is willing to wash their feet will have my vote.
God willing, may coronavirus usher in a new and glorious chapter in Belize’s history!!!
