All Hail the boy emperor

Dear Editor,
So we have had it, the staged show to chaperone the champion of poverty on his way out, while at the same time making it clear that his “puppet” will ensure that he remains very much in command if (and this is a big if), the Guyanese people make that historical mistake of every voting for the PPP again.
The people still live in a house with a kitchen which still does not have enough food inside?
Could these monies be spent on feeding the orphanages and old people homes for a year? State resources were spent by the GDF, Police, THD, GPL, yet a so called Holy Man said that the state did not fund this event.  This is Burnhamism all over again, where the leader is more important than country.
With the help of the Police and Soldiers, (some of whom told us they worked under duress), Guyana’s Kim II Sung and Kim Jong IL provided the citizens with a striking demonstration of what they have in mind, a party dynasty of a cabal of yes men.
This pappy show was extraordinary for a party that likes to marginalise, abuse and harass independent schools of thoughts and the independent media. I was told that a newspaper correspondent in Berbice was told he will get an all paid holiday just to video the show and give those Berbicians who did not go, a glimpse of what they missed out on. The KIM of Guyana does not know the line in the sand between basic decency and naked fraud.
But this show had greater significance than just to show off the two Kims.  It was to confirm the succession strategy that was imposed on the party and provide a synopsis of what to expect if the PPP wins again. In a country that has villages like Topo in Albion or Plastic City or Sophia, wouldn’t all these taxpayers millions be better spent if the Kims had bought grass cutters and distributed them to thousands of Guyanese in every village and streets of Guyana and ask them to clean up Guyana for a stipend?  This would have provided many with an income and taught them to fish and live a life of dignity.  But no, the Kims must ensure that the army of the un-employed grow and be converted into jump and winers, drink and dancers.  Don’t they realise that slowly they are converting the unsuspecting people into bubble brains and thus guarantee them a life of poverty and subservience to the KIMs.
Thanks to the Kims, the PPP brand is now clearly imprinted into the people’s mind as the jump and wine party, the rum and dance party. Why debate policy, we can jump and wine instead. No need to go to school and work anymore when we can all become concubines of the drug lords and glorified kleptomaniacs.
As we are at it, worshiping the most omniscient and omnipotent KIMs, why don’t we even do one better?  Let us change the name of the stadium and call it the Bharat Jagdeo Stadium, and don’t forget the Bharat Jagdeo Bridge across the Berbice River.  And of course, to drive Hammie Green to Canje Asylum, let us change the name of Georgetown and call it Jagdeotown and change the name of Sparendaam and call it Jagdeoville.
Stop it, why all these changes, let’s make the mother of all name change and just call Guyana – Jagdeodesh?
But wait, the great leader cannot go, let us hire a thousand ladies and pay them to protest and cry in-front of the Office of the President until Kim II Sung change his mind and run for the third term. Kim Jong IL is just not good enough as a first degree holder of an economics degree; we need a real economist newly bought doctoral degree from Great Russia, from the most ill-famous unranked school in the world – the one and only Patrice Lumumba night school.
Why don’t we use taxpayer’s money to pay the youths to protest at the Parliament to change the laws? No, let us call a referendum and make KIM II Sung President for life, and even when he is dead we will preserve his body and he will rule us from the grave.  No, we cannot live without our KIM II Sung?
Why don’t we build a Bharat Jagdeo square and make everything about that square an opportunity to pay homage to the great leader with digital screens broadcasting his words of wisdom on how not to build a hydro power station and how to pull the biggest trick of the century by fooling the Norwegians?  Why don’t we display giant size pictures of him and have the under-aged girls and boys who service the naked guests in the pools at Pradoville, bring flowers every day and plant gardens with rare flowers named after him?  And let us not forget the Bose speakers blaring out songs of adoration with verses like “Long live the great leader, the most glorious of all”.
Then we will get the ever compliant Chancellor of the University and now the Pro-Vice Chancellor of another to write books and poems and more songs of praise of the exploits of the great leader from his skilful association with drug lords, to showing the world how to move from pauper to billionaire in under a decade on other people’s money. Let us extol his greatest assets – how to promise everything and deliver nothing and still have the NCN and Chronicle glorify him every day with taxpayers money.
The PPP has done a wonderful job of making Guyana his land, the land owned and transported by his business buddies, from the Rupununi to the Corentyne.  Oh we Guyanese must be forever grateful that KIM II Sung has granted us squatting and tenancy rights in his land.
Thank the lord for granting us faith and that firm belief that right will overcome might.  Good must overcome evil and these unrighteous forces from the PPP will be conquered by the good people, yes change is coming to Guyana.
