It is now clearer than ever that the opposition FREE NATIONAL MOVEMENT has embarked on a mission not of progress, but of destruction. Their only intention is to drive down the street of deception, wrench open the sewerage of lies, and let the stench of falsehoods engulf the nation.
Michael Pintard, Brian Brown and the FNM are not guided by patriotism, not motivated by policy, and certainly not inspired by the welfare of the people. No, their one goal is to terrify the country, to unleash fear as their last surviving weapon, because they have found nothing, absolutely nothing, of substance to say against the government.
Don’t be surprised if Pintard runs into a crowded area and screams FIRE!!!!!!!! He is that irresponsible and should not be taken lightly. There have been a number of his mental states.
This is not opposition in the noble, democratic sense. This is sabotage disguised as politics. These are people who, unable to offer vision, now trade in venom; who, having lost credibility, now peddle conspiracy. They have combed every corner of the public square looking for something—anything, to smear the government, and finding none, they have resorted to manufacturing chaos.
But beneath their loud proclamations and their desperate theatrics, a quieter, darker truth is unfolding: their financiers are abandoning them. Yes, the same shadowy backers who once poured money into their campaigns and propaganda machines have begun to withdraw support from the FNM as long as Pintard leads it. The money wells are drying up, and panic has set in like a plague. Without their financial lifeline, the opposition’s machinery is sputtering, their strategists are jumping ship, and their operatives are turning on one another.
And this is what truly drives them mad. Not the government’s policies, not the people’s confidence in leadership, but the unbearable realization that their empire of manipulation is collapsing. Their desperation has reached such feverish heights that they now clutch at the most outrageous falsehoods, flinging them into the public arena with reckless abandon.
They hurl accusations that cannot stand the light of day, invent scandals that evaporate upon scrutiny, and distort facts so wildly that even their own supporters can barely keep track of their shifting narratives.
What they are saying doesn’t matter; what they are not saying tells the real story. They will never admit that their once-loyal financiers have turned their backs in disgust. They will never confess that their credibility, once bolstered by a machinery of money and manipulation, is now in freefall. Instead, they double down on chaos. Because chaos is the only thing left that gives them relevance.
So they prefer chaos over country. They thrive on confusion because clarity would expose their bankruptcy, both moral and financial. They welcome mayhem because stability would silence their lies. And so, when the people begin to see through the smoke, when the truth starts to emerge, they resort to the unthinkable: the sabotage of democracy itself.
That is why the mayhem surrounding the ballot box occurred. It was not a spontaneous outburst, not a misunderstanding, but a calculated manoeuvre, a desperate attempt to muddy the waters of the democratic process. They could not win through the will of the people, so they sought to drown the people’s will in disorder. They wanted confusion to replace confidence, suspicion to replace unity, and fear to replace faith.
And the tragedy is that we have seen this movie before. Brian Brown and the FNM orchestrated this same act, blocking the police from leaving with the ballot box at Gavin Tynes Primary School. It is not new; it’s the same script that was played out during the last general election, when the opposition, cornered and out of touch, tried the same reckless tactics. Remember how they cried fraud without evidence? Remember how they paraded “anonymous sources” and “whistleblowers” who vanished the moment facts were demanded? Remember how their so-called “exposés” turned out to be smoke and mirrors, collapsing under the weight of their own contradictions?
They failed then, and they will fail now because the people have learned. The nation remembers. You cannot deceive an entire country twice with the same trick. But still, in their arrogance and desperation, they try again.
Their behaviour is not politics, it is pathology. A collective hysteria fueled by fear of irrelevance. They see the government moving forward, stabilizing the economy, investing in infrastructure, protecting the vulnerable, and restoring international credibility. Each success is like salt in their wounds, each achievement a mirror reflecting their failures. So they lash out, hoping to tarnish what they cannot match.
Their campaign of lies has become grotesque. They speak of “corruption” without evidence, “crises” that exist only in their speeches, and “revolts” that never happen outside their press releases. Every word they utter reeks of desperation. Every accusation is a mirror of their own guilt.
They call for transparency while operating in the shadows. They speak of unity while plotting division. They invoke democracy while undermining it. And when their hypocrisy is exposed, they scream even louder, mistaking volume for truth.
The opposition today stands not as a movement of ideas but as a circus of outrage. The ringleaders are frantic; the audience is dwindling. Their tricks no longer amuse; their noise no longer intimidates. And as their financial scaffolding collapses, their moral compass spins wildly out of control.
In the end, their attempt to open the sewer of lies will backfire. For when the lid is lifted, it is their own stench that will fill the air, suffocating them. Their words will betray them, their actions will condemn them, and their record of chaos, deceit, and failure will define them.
The nation, weary of their theatrics, will once again see them for what they are: a coalition of bitterness masquerading as an alternative. The people will stand firm, the truth will prevail, and those who sought to terrorize the country with deception will drown in the very lies they unleashed. Because no matter how loud they shout, how wild their fabrications, or how desperate their tactics, chaos will never conquer truth.
