More fairy dust

I had previously stated that I would not respond to unprofessional tactics. However, the provocations and insults tossed across the Pacific by Dr. Jesus Camacho to everyone that happens to express an opinion that is not to his liking or disagrees with his postulations must not remain unchallenged.

Dr. Camacho states that he has never engaged in a personal attack on anyone in his letters. That is false. For example, the comment in his letter of 4/10/05 is the essence of a most vile and personal insult. He stated, he is on the payroll of the Azmar Corp. and would never express any other perspective if it might threaten whatever Azmar gives him in terms of monetary compensation. This insinuation that a professional such as myself would serve as nothing more than a paid stooge for some corporation is a direct vilification of my integrity, honesty, character and professionalism. It is also nothing more than a magnifying glass upon Dr. Camacho’s level of operation and a disingenuous expression of insensitivity unbecoming of his supposed educational level.

For the record, I have never been on the payroll or paid by Azmar Corp. nor any entity associated with such. It is my sincere hope that this worthwhile project will eventually be realized as it is truly a win-win situation for the CNMI and the indigenous peoples thereof. If development is realized, I and many others will be proud to be associated with this corporation and will look forward to assisting with its development, the associated environmental reclamation of a volcanically devastated island and for the economic and social benefits to be derived for the people of the CNMI.

Dr. Camacho’s slash and burn commentaries are a defamation hurled at the CNMI and its people from one who clearly has no comprehension of present day island conditions or the people that live and work here. My last letter had absolutely nothing to do with a personal attack against him and, in fact simply laid out the misinformation and errant data he has tried to foist upon the inhabitants of the CNMI in the name of enlightenment. Dr. Camacho’s previous letter was indeed composed of much fictional fairy dust. The exposure of fiction does not put me in a world of fantasy.

So far, Dr. Camacho has offered only stinging criticism of nearly everything about the CNMI and even more stinging criticism for anyone who dares to disagree with him. He has managed to enlighten many in the CNMI only regarding his ability to tear asunder and chastise rather than to offer anything constructive. Such writing is more indicative of a child’s temper tantrum as the result of something denied rather than of someone who has supposedly achieved a higher level of education and claims to have native culture running through his veins. The blood in ones veins is not always indicative of what is in the heart.
