Confirmation that Dr. Devon Dublin is real

Jul 09, 2010 Letters

Dear Editor,
In a letter in Kaieteur News dated July 6, 2010, captioned, “Freddie Kissoon takes on Dr. Devon Dublin” he said, “I do not reply to anonymous writers”. It’s below his dignity he says. I am confirming that Dr. Devon Dublin is real. So we await your response to him.
Freddie says, “I will question him as to why he is not living in his homeland that educated him or Cuba that he loves so much”. This has nothing to do with the issue.
He is not living in his homeland as he is presently advancing his studies abroad. He is not living in Cuba because he was sent there to be educated. He graduated and returned home to Guyana where he was serving his country.
The other day I was watching CNN and I saw reports on a British and a French citizen receiving their citizenship. People from all over immigrate to the global urban centers in the same way people from rural areas within a country migrate to the towns.
Freddie keeps writing that people who support any form of Marxism should go to Cuba and Russia and not the USA. He forgets that these countries train their own people and do not have to rob the poor countries of their graduates because of their incapacity to train their own; that the USA imports cheap labour to keep wages and salaries down so that the capitalist can maximize profits by utilizing cheaper skills.
Freddie, they do not emmigrate to the poor capitalist countries which constitutes the bulk of the countries on this planet. Freddie should tell us why the people of capitalist countries are trying to get into a few rich capitalist countries. These countries were ravaged by the rich capitalist countries and still are.
In the Kaieteur News editorial dated July 7, 2010 it mentions the top 10 failed states, and went on to point out, “almost every country in the Top 10 (Haiti was #11) – Somalia, Chad, Sudan, D.R. Congo, Afghanistan, Iraq, Central African Republic, Guinea and Pakistan – got there because of some western intervention or other in the post-WWII era, might not be entirely coincidental”.
Freddie knows of the US intervention in Guyana and the historical traumas and division that was deepened as a consequence. Freddie should also know of the invasion of Grenada by the US government as he had left his homeland to go and work in socialist Grenada. He should know from day one that people were being trained by the USA to invade Grenada, “Operation Orange”, I think was the code name. And he simply cannot forget that there is a near 50-year-old blockade of Cuba that is opposed by almost the entire world.
Interestingly a letter in Kaieteur News by Henry Horton dated, July 6, 2010 and captioned, “Is there some connection between Jagdeo’s government and the “failed fascist state of Cuba?” Horton, who stated that he lived in Cuba, considered some of Freddie’s criticisms of Cuba as being “puerile” and emphasised that he never mentions, “the bete noire of all failed states – the United States itself. As Naom Chomsky so brilliantly points out in ‘Failed States’ the US shares features with many of the regimes it defines and condemns as such”. He also pointed out that the US has a “tendency to regard themselves as beyond domestic or international law, and hence free to carry out aggression and violence. And if they have democratic forms, they suffer from a serious ‘democratic deficit’ that deprives their formal democratic institutions of real substance”.
Horton also quoted Arundhati Roy as saying about the USA that it is “a lone superpower which topples foreign governments, invades states that threaten its interests and imposes sanctions on regimes it opposes”.
And in your logics Freddie what has the USA borrowed so much from Communist China. Why not just from the capitalist countries. In any event it’s up to its nose in debt.
It’s up to Freddie to consider if Henry Horton is real or a ghost or where this gentleman lives now.
In the mean time Freddie would continue with his ridiculous statements that Indians are genetically capitalist and market oriented in order to prove his point that they support the PPP because of race as it has an opposed ideology, socialist.
Freddie in his drive to produce a column every day waters down his hat as a social scientist and at the same time results in the production of rambling journalistic pieces that reflects poor journalism.
I do respect and support his research and findings on corruption.
