By Pacific Guardian Papua New Guinea's Prime Minister James Marape's higher ideals under his political slogan " Take Back PNG" to make it the richest, black nation (and Christian) where no one child is left behind" though laughable in Corporate Boardrooms throughout the world, in Exxon, Barrick and Oilsearches global's, Marape's modest vision for his country does hurt, likened to the ruffling of the eagle's feathers. Though Canada (Barrick), Oilsearch (Australia) and Exxon (USA) may seem as non-relative businesses, these are however an integral part of a "western syndicated multinationals", scouring and scavenging the far reaches of the globe, inclùding Marape's Papua New Guinea in the cuthroat hydrocarbon business. Where these are, the big brother's eyes are too. Merely weeks after the high news of Porgera's inertia for nationalization hit, P'Nyang stripped off Exxon's attempted grab, and Australian Financial Review's exposure' of Arran Energy's buy-in of Horizon Oil of the Stanley Gasfield, seen largely as a commouflage for Oilsearch in another form, in view of its damning reputational hit for Peter Botten's part in the UBS Loan saga, the big eagle's hitman league has just been invited by the country's Treasurer, Ian Ling Stuckey through IMF's SMP. PM Marape was a university student when the first round IMF/ World Bank's hitman visited town with Sir Mekere Morauta (still in Parliament) and now quietly guiding the country's treasurer in opting for the re-couched SMP in an attempt to salvage Marape's collapsed economy. These are deals economic hitmen look for, "deals made in heaven" as one observer put it. IMF's SMP is an engineered Marape "carrot" he'd rather have now before the jackal winds arrive to blow away his nationalistic visions for a life saving transformation for his seemingly well endowed and rich nation of the Pacific.
At the back-hand of Marape's trust is the National Alliance Party, whose private lawyer cum politician himself, Kerenga Kua, Exxon's native consultant and agent, Arthur Somare, whose sister Bertha Somare sit at the advisory's head table guiding Kerenga in the key Ministry of Petroleum and Energy. If the hitman and the jackals have a preying niche on Marape and his nation's life, it would certainly be the alleged combination of Sir Mekere, the Treasurer himself and the Somare's, Exxon Mobil's pseudonyms. A strong familial link exists with them and MP Kerenga Kua with whom controversy had suugested close business links with Exxon Mobil, operators of the USD$19 billion PNGLNG Project where the company's upstream business sits on PM Marape's lands. The political savory is right to feed the hitman and the jackal's insatiable appetite for collapsing and distructing nations, in the picture of Saddam Husseins Iraq, taking its leaders' lives if things do not go the way of the eagle and its conglomerate of satellite nests. Just as he thought he was away with things right to take back PNG, his Treasurer has just invited the second round of the hitman to PNG to be closer to this country's young leader. Unless PM Marape designs a life-saving U-turn for country, Pangu Party which he leads as Parliamentary Leader, and of himself, the NA-Mekere-Somare-Kua political serenade may well be the hitman and the jackal's poisoned chalice PM Marape will drink from for the short term but "die" for the long term as IMF/ World Bank's SMP carrot signals the armoury to extinguish by dooming Marape's vision of economic independence.
