The FACTS, TRUTH, with EVIDENCE on the USD $18 MILLION from EXXON, with 5 Power Point Pictures from Hon. DAVID PATTERSON, MP; and QUOTES from the BOOK, “ From Destiny to Prosperity” by Raphael G.C. Trotman Esq. ABD. (PhD Candidate).
REMINDER: Real PROGRESS is possible when the GOVERNMENT charts a NEW course for 2025 with LESS PROPAGANDA and LESS Media Spinners for their PAYCHECKS and PERQUISITES.
Since 2020 the PPPC propaganda complex, coupled with a large number of SPINNERS, in the print and social medias, with FALSE PROPOGANDAS on this TOPIC with ONLY their VERBAL EVIDENCE, to suit their political points WITH NO EVIDENCE.
In this column EVIDENCE is hereunder to DISPEL PROPOGANDAS.
Exxon USD $18 million. LOGISTICS. The USA BANK ACCOUNT was opened by the FINANCE SECRETARY, who SENT OUT a letter, which was copied to the Ministers of FINANCE and NATURAL RESOURCES. Also, the Finance Secretary and Governor of Bank of Guyana WOULD NOT have acted without instructions from the Senior Minister of Finance, and he, in turn, would have had to consult with His Excellency, the President, BEFORE, doing anything.
SILENCE OVER 4 YEARS by the Late Sir Shridath Ramphal, Guyana OIL Advisor & Attorney FOR EXXON & ICJ, and GOVERNOR of the BANK OF GUYANA, as blames are attributed to the 2015-2020 Minister of Natural Resources, when IN REALITY, the Minister of Natural Resources ALONE, COULD NOT, Conceptualize, Document and Execute the USD $18 Million from EXXON by himself. CHAIN of AUTHORITY applied.
Exxon USD $18 Million: LOGISTICS. The Finance Secretary had to be AUTHORIZED by the Minister of Finance in conjunction with the President. Therefore, The Minister of Natural Resources COULD NEVER OPEN the USA Bank Account in the NAME of GUYANA. This USA Account used; is the SAME ACCOUNT, EXXON is using for Natural Resource Fund NRF ROYALTIES to Guyana

NEXT 5 Power Point PICTURES with the compliments of Hon. David Patterson, CHAIRMAN, AFC, and Shadow Minister of Natural Resources INCLUDING OIL.
BOOK: “ From Destiny to Prosperity” by Raphael G.C. Trotman: Page 39: EXXON DEAL was the WORST EVER
“ The 2016 agreement, was, for all intents and purposes, an IMPROVEMENT of the 1999 AGREEMENT. With ALL the DECLARATIONS about Guyana’s Economy being THE FASTEST
GROWING and BEST IN THE HEMISPHERE. I DO NOT KNOW, how ANYONE can CONSCIOUSLY SAY that the AGREEMENT is the WORST EVER.”
“ Additionally, RYSTAD Energy, Wood McKenzie, and the IMF among others, HAVE CONFIRMED that Guyana’s Agreement is WITHIN the AVERAGE for NEW FRONTIER OIL Producers.”
“ We are NOT arguing that it is the Best, BUT, given the circumstances ( Venezuela at the Border, and Exxon pressures for Agreement signing et al), IT CAN be IMPROVED, IF there is A WILL TO DO SO.”
BOOK: “ From Destiny to Prosperity” by Raphael G.C. Trotman:
The SIGNATURE Bonus, page 39
“ What was received was money to assist with financing of Guyana’s LEGAL CHALLENGE at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). I was told that the legal team, spearheaded by Sir Shridath Ramphal, would be the SAME TEAM, which was successful, with our case against Suriname when in July 2000, Surinamese GUNBOATS EXPELLED CGX RIG from Guyana’s waters.”
Trotman Received the Money , BOOK page 40 “ From Destiny to Prosperity.’
“ The FALSE NARRATIVE that Trotman and other Ministers RECEIVED the USD $18 Million and more HAS BECOME “TRUTH” in Guyana. The letter that was leaked, CONFIRMED that the BANK OF GUYANA GOVERNOR received the money, and DEPOSITED IN THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK in the UNITED STATES. I fail to see how THIEVES would COLLABORATE with DR. GOBIN GANGA and then BANK the PROCEEDS with a US Government entity.”
Trotman Ignored Advice: BOOK” page 41, “ From Destiny to Prosperity.”
“ I never IGNORED ADVICE OF EXPERTS, but instead FOLLOWED INSTRUCTIONS RECEIVED. I know DR. MANGAL in particular, had views on what an agreement with Exxon should look like, and I am aware that he shared those views with THE PRESIDENT as I DID.”
THE STABILITY CLAUSE: BOOK page 41, “ From Destiny to Prosperity.”
“ It should be known that IT WAS CONTAINED IN THE DRAFT that GGMC forwarded to me, and on INQUIRY, I was TOLD, that this was the CLAUSE USED IN THE ANADARKO agreement and REPEATED in the RATIO OIL Agreement. “
“ Further, that given the INCIDENT in 2013, with ANADARKO’s RESEARCH VESSEL was SEIZED by the VENEZUELAN NANY, EXXON was INSISTING on a STRONG STABILITY CLAUSE, as it was TAKING A LOT OF RISK.” “ It is PATENTLY Obvious that THIS CLAUSE was used by Guyana before and represented its latest ITERATION of what a STABILITY CLAUSE SHOULD CONTAIN.” 
AGREEMENT SIGNED in TEXAS: BOOK, page 42, “ “ From Destiny to Prosperity.”
“ The Agreement WAS SIGNED IN GUYANA in June 2016, and in the presence of SEVERAL PERSONS, and as stated before, that of the REGISTRAR OF THE HIGH COURT Mr. Rashid Mohammed; and Sir Shridath Ramphal, among others. CONTRARY to SOME NONSENSE, uttered ELSEWHERE, NEITHER MY WIFE, nor ANY RELATIVE of MINE, was present.”
“ Myself ( Minister Trotman), and Ministers Patterson and Gaskin DID VISIT HOUSTON, TEXAS in APRIL 2016, but that was to TOUR EXXON’S FACILITIES and receive an UPDATE on the DEVELOPMENT of the STABROEK BLOCK. There were ABSOLUTELY NO NEGOTIATIONS during THAT VISIT.”
PRESIDENT and CABINET UNAWARE of Agreement, BOOK, page 42, “ From Destiny to Prosperity.”
“ THIS IS ANOTHER PIECE OF FICTION that has been ACCEPTED as FACT, by many people. AS STATED ABOVE, I ( Minister Trotman) WAS NEVER ACTING ALONE, and DID SEEK and OBTAINED, CABINET’S APPROVAL to ENTER into the AGREEMENT. Some weeks LATER, the MINISTER of FINANCE, tabled a MOTION for a RESOLUTION to be adopted by the NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.”
Pages 90 & 91 “ YES, USD $15 Million was earmarked for our representation before the ICJ. USD $3 Million for CAPACITY BUILDING, in ALL 10 REGIONS.”
KN. January 6, 2025, CHRISTOPHER RAM wrote . “JAGDEO as Opposition Leader SECRETLY AGREED with Coalition Govt to WAIVE TAXES to Exxon.” “ In fact, Attorney-at-law and Chartered Accountant, CHRISTOPHER RAM, in his most recent column ‘Every Man, Woman and Child Must Become Oil Minded’ made a shocking revelation about the VP’s part in the lopsided deal with American oil supermajor, ExxonMobil.
Ram in describing the actions of BOTH the VP and President IRFAAN ALI as BETRAYAL cited an excerpt of former Minister of Natural Resources, Raphael Trotman’s book, From Destiny to Prosperity.”
THREE more FACTS & TRUTH.
- In PARLIAMENT, as anticipated, PPPC DID NOT VOTE AGAINST THE MEASURES.
- Exxon/Guyana Attorney Sir Shridath as expected was ACTIVELY involved in the Research, Discussions and Decisions for the ENTIRE AGREEMENT.
- Sir Shridath MAINTAINED a remarkably close working relationship with the TOP PPPC Leadership Team including then Opposition Leader JAGDEO, up to Sir. Shridath ’s last days on earth, on August 30, 2024.
AN URGENT OUTSTANDING ITEM : Hon. Minister Raphael Trotman, in his BOOK “ From DESTINY to PROSPERITY” strongly RECOMMENDED, for a “COMMISSION of INQUIRY (COI)” at which time, MORE TRUTHS WILL be KNOWN /Uncovered/ become PUBLIC Knowledge. Hope this will be soon in 2025 ???
Quote. KN. January 4, 2025. Peeping Tom. “ DEMOCRACY is not about SAFEGUARDING power; it is about ENSURING that power remains ACCOUNTABLE“
Quote. KN. January 5, 2025. Peeping Tom. “ The PPP is in self-destructive mode.” “Let’s not forget the precarious position the PPPC is in, A ONE-SEAT majority isn’t just slender—it’s ANOREXIC. It’s the kind of majority that makes you double-check your ARITHMETIC. Combine that with the ONE-MAN SHOW and you’ve got a recipe for POLITICAL DISASTER. And disaster, in this case, isn’t just losing the next election. It’s the unraveling of a party that clawed its way back to power after five years in opposition and having to endure a 5-month long electoral impasse.”
Onward & Upward towards, One People, One Nation, One Destiny.
