If We Must Die : Claude McKay (1919)
If we must die, let it not be like hogs
Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot,
While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs,
Making their mock at our accursed lot.
If we must die, O let us nobly die,
So that our precious blood may not be shed
In vain; then even the monsters we defy
Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!
O kinsmen we must meet the common foe!
Though far outnumbered let us show us brave,
And for their thousand blows deal one deathblow!
What though before us lies the open grave?
Like men we’ll face the murderous, cowardly pack,
Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting
back!

A great man once said life is stranger than fiction, and indeed it is.

With the latest helicopter buying fiasco, we learned from Stabroek News that Roger Luncheon consulted Michael Francis Brassington. This information was apparently given up by Luncheon after being pressed on the issue of consultation.

Stabroek has gone ahead with subsequent stories on the helicopter fiasco including the now infamous 'It wasn't me' pooper scooper. And all this after being notified that Michael Brassington flies cocaine, heroine, passports, people, currency, diamonds & et cetera for the CIA & other known criminal enterprises.

Which brings up a lot of questions. Why is Stabroek News would be running articles on this issue and using Brassington as a source without letting it's readers know about the real Michael Brassington? Why does a news organisation that bills itself as credible relying on a criminal operative as its source?

Why doesn't Stabroek News come clean with it's true relationship with Michael Brassington and quit playing games with the people of Guyana?

You can't have it both ways Stabroek News, you can't complain about crime and criminality while cavorting with criminals in bed!

STOP PROTECTING MICHAEL BRASSINGTON'S SHADY HISTORY

Roger Luncheon said the government of Guyana consulted Michael Brassington before purchasing the 'new' helicopters.

This name may not signal anything to most Guyanese, but Michael Francis Brassington a Guyanese pilot in the US was caught with 43 lbs of heroine on his plane (N351WB) at Orlando Executive Airport July 2000. This same Brassington is reportedly under investigation for possible involvement with a DC-9 (N900SA) carring 5.5 tons of cocaine in Ciudad del Carmen, Campeche, Mexico April 2006

US Customs has Brassington listed in its 'active lookout' database for repeated flying of 'suspect passengers' He has never come under serious sanctions or jailed due to his involvement and affiliation with a certain US intelligence agency.

Brassington license was temporarily revoked 30 days by the NTSB for falsifying flight logs, not filling out weight & balance info & flying with expired licenses among others. Read this document on the NTSB website

'It is undisputed that an airman who falsifies required documents lacks qualifications to hold an airman certificate.'

'The Administrator issued an emergency order to revoke ... Brassington’s airline transport pilot certificate for a number of alleged violations in the operation of Platinum Jet Management.'

'I am disappointed that the Administrator did not challenge Judge Mullins’s imposition of only a 30-day suspension of Mr. Brassington’s pilot certificate despite finding that Mr. Brassington had failed to perform weight and balance checks on three separate flights. This failure by Mr. Brassington represents a serious and dangerous omission of basic aviation safety precautions.' http://www.ntsb.gov/alj/o_n_o/docs/AVIATION/5180.PDF

These are just some of the well documented 'incidents' involving Michael Brassington. I hope this enlightens my fellow citizens on what the government means when it says they're fighting a drug war and have consulted the experts.
