Introduction
In last week’s column I was able to introduce only four of the 11 reasonings, or what I have labelled as the Whys and Wherefores, which lie behind my singling out of a portion of Guyana’s windfall oil revenues for cash transfers to Guyanese households as a singularly effective policy intervention measure against income poverty.

Introduction
Today’s column continues my rather extended interrogation cum discussion (over the past several weeks) of the plethora of mis-representations, deceptions, and plain fake news put out ceaselessly in the social and print media by the local and external purveyors of noise and nonsense directed at Guyana’s emergent oil and gas sector.

Today’s column continues my rather extended interrogation cum discussion (over the past several weeks) of the plethora of mis-representations, deceptions, and plain fake news put out ceaselessly in the social and print media by the local and external purveyors of noise and nonsense directed at Guyana’s emergent oil and gas sector.
Introduction
Thus far I have introduced two major metrics in order to illustrate my thesis that the noise and nonsense mis-informers in the social and print media have colluded and connived in generating fake misrepresentations and dated dogma (from four decades ago), in order to portray a relentlessly demoralizing, paralyzing and retrogressive economic narrative of Guyana’s coming time of oil and gas production and sale.

As a social scientist, I have observed, in recent years the unprecedented rise at a global existential level of some of the scariest social phenomena I have ever encountered.

Introduction
As indicated last week, today’s column starts with referencing the five studies on Guyana’s energy mix, which were undertaken on behalf of the previous government.
