The founder of the National Reality Truth Creation Party, Jorge Ernesto Babb, has declared his intent to contest the Freetown Division in next year’s general elections. J. E. Babb contested the 1998 election in the Lake Independence division, garnering only 7 votes. He sat out the 2003 general elections, not because he was disappointed in his ’98 showing, he said, but because he was throwing his weight behind Minister Joe Coye. This afternoon we spoke with the man some may consider slightly eccentric, to find out why his hat is in the ring a second time.
Amandala: We gather that you don’t support Minister Francis Fonseca. Why?
JEBabb: He practices deception. For example, he will get on the rostrum and say he is opening a school, when it is the government opening the school. He was elected 5 years ago and he waits until his term is almost up to introduce a free textbook program.
Amandala: And Michael Peyrefitte…why are you running against him?
JEBabb: He and Fonseca are the same thing. They went to the same school – LAW. One da Judas, and one da Peter. One betrays, and one deceives.
Amandala: Why should the people in Freetown vote for Jorge Ernesto Babb?
JEBabb: Jorge Ernesto Babb will give them wisdom and understanding.
Amandala: What will you do for education?
JEBabb: We will invest the oil money in education.
Amandala: What will we do with oil?
JEBabb: We will get the oil out of private hands…into government control.
Amandala: Talk about Guatemala.
JEBabb: We will solve the problem with wisdom and understanding.
Amandala: Will we give them land?
JEBabb: No land! We will give them wisdom and understanding.
Amandala: How will we solve the violence problem?
JEBabb: We will teach these young people the truth about Jesus so they get wisdom and understanding.
Amandala: Tell us about the prison.
JEBabb: The government will run the prison.
Amandala: We gather that you are not too comfortable with lawyers. Should they get out of politics?
JEBabb: All their business is to practice deception. They make right, wrong, and wrong, right. They are cunning beasts, working only to enrich themselves.
Amandala: Any last words?
JEBabb: Next week, the 10th of December, is the anniversary of the National Reality Truth Creation Party. Look for us on the Smokey Joe Show this Wednesday night.
Amandala: Thanks, brother. And good luck in Ought 8.
