The Public Square: The Dear Governor and the False King

The goat takes to the hills [i.e. "the higher the monkey climbs, the more he show his ass"]: Our Dear Little Governor not only holds talks with the Denim King, but last Friday "he met with His Majesty Drolor Bosso Adamtey I ... internationally recognized for leading his people to progress in education, enabling the economy, promoting health and medical services, housing development and work".


The picture accompanying this text, whose publication was received with munificence in the local press and not a few newspapers of Mexico City, shows the still-governor of Puebla, Mario Marin, smiling and grateful for the presence in his state of the King of Shai, who " expressed his desire and confidence in the progress of Puebla, seeing it as an entity that is emerging as a national example, and which now works permanently to reduce inequalities".


Deep and daring this monarch who enthralled the Dear Governor (the hero of Kamel Nacif). He said truths by the kilo and made interesting suggestions: "It is always a privilege to meet people and I always say whatever person you meet can teach you something, the world is our classroom and life our experience and, on knowing all of you this day I have learned something and I will learn a lot more, I hope our meeting will not end here but carry us much further beyond this office".


Marin spends fortunes on spreading news of the events in which he participates, whatever their nature and relevance: already we see him inaugurating municipal composters and cutting the ribbon of a local home show and giving the Mexican flag to Genaro Garcia, nicknamed "Little Man of Puebla", in the moment before he fought for the bantamweight title of the WBC.


Naturally, his press office yesterday was eager to show him in a meeting that several local executives held with Felipe Calderón. To believe their propaganda, there were not in Metepec more momentous proposals than those expounded by the friend of the King of Shai.


Especially since his role in the delectable conspiracy to harm and punish Lydia Cacho became publicly known, the Dear Governor seeks to counter this stain with profuse paid dissemination of his comings and goings. Recall that the Supreme Court ordered an extension of the inquiry into the violation of individual rights of journalists, precisely so that it could investigate the role of the governor in the plot against human rights and democracy. Hence Marin seeks to be endorsed as if he were an exemplary ruler.


Only in this case, he showed his hand, because the King of Shai is a charlatan.


Ghana is a Republic, whose legal structure does not allow states ruled by crowned monarchs. Shai, indeed, is a region in the east of that nation, whose hills are a tourist attraction. But it does not enjoy such autonomy as to be permitted to be ruled by a king and even less one specialized in the "progress and development of state of Shai in Ghana".


The alleged leader (who was also received in the local legislature, where he duped municipal officials with a meeting, and in City Hall, where one can hardly believe that a former university rector like Henry Doger, didn't notice the fraud to which he consented) has a split personality.


Born in Asamankese, he himself claims he was crowned in 1999. And on his Web site boasts of royal lineage that "no doubt the holy reign and leadership were part of his destiny", which presumably consists of "leading the Kings Council in developing strategies to improve the lives of the people in Shai and the state of Shai. As its only spokesman, his wisdom and council are vital in marking the course of the future in this region".


So much that the king calls himself Drolor Bosso Adamtey I. But that is only half of his personality. The other half is occupied by Dr. Kingsley A. Fletcher, a religious preacher with extreme ability to combine heavenly and earthly interests. He is married to a Mexican woman whose first name is Marta. They make a privileged pair, as is shown in this official report: "In 1983, when this couple was traveling from London to Mexico, God spoke to them telling them to leave a successful ministry located in England and then establish a church in America".


Under this divine mandate, the Fletchers (or the King and Queen?) founded in 1985 at Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, the Life Community Church. Before doing so, reads the page of that church, "Dr. Fletcher had already traveled extensively as a missionary evangelist and had established over 200 churches worldwide".


The Life Community Church is only a portion of the vast conglomerate run by Fletcher, identified with the corporate name "Kingsley A. Fletcher Ministries", which includes initiatives that link the two faces of the preacher-king: Life for Africa Inc., for example, founded in 1993, participates in the distribution of drugs--we do not know of what kind. The credit division, however, is the most telling. It's called Covenant Community Credit Union, and offers a broad modality for business. Examples are the shares issued by its Hispanic version, the Latino Community Credit Cooperative, all of which operates within a massive architectonic collective, the North Carolina Minority Support Center.


Such are the friends of the governor!
