Systematic terror campaign

Jul 22, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,
I am not sure what information exactly the Minister of Health can be trying to hide if we were to believe Kaieteur News and SN as well as columnist, Freddie Kissoon, who seeks to say that the Government blew up the Ministry of Health to keep Indians in line by spreading fear.
The Kaieteur News and SN, and to a lesser extent Freddie Kissoon, seem to lack basic comprehension skills in understanding that a shredder costs less than G$25,000 and can be used to destroy paperwork. So the need for the Minister of Health to destroy the Ministry of Health is “silly” at best when a G$25,000 shredder can destroy the paperwork. so, there would be no need to destroy a building worth $1 billion.
Freddie Kissoon failed to mention in his disjointed column that the Sun Chapman was being threatened on a daily basis before it was blown up. He seems to lack the mental ability to remember that the Guyana Police Force (primarily comprising African Guyanese) checked the Sun Chapman for explosives on the day in question. Freddie Kissoon figures that Indians were able to board the Sun Chapman undetected to place any explosives on board. If Freddie Kissoon says that Africans were paid to place the explosives on the Sun Chapman then it is more than likely that they did so under command from a mastermind, whose aim was to create fear and destabilisation.
In Freddie Kissoon’ world, President Jagdeo is trying to get people to vote for the PPP by destabilising Guyana. Yet, a stable economic, political and social environment does more for the Government that a destablised environment.
Indians did not move away from you Freddie; you moved away from Indians with your Jonny Cash music, etc. To top it all you decided to hold a picketing activity with one Lincoln Lewis (a so-called Trade Unionist). This is the same Trade Unionist that seeks to create fear by insinuating that “people who work with the PPP Government will not be looked upon favourably, when he writes Guyana’s history”.
If Lincoln Lewis ever writes Guyana’s history, I will petition the Government of Guyana to give Lincoln Lewis a prize for creative writing.
I do understand where Freddie Kissoon stands. Freddie Kissoon suffers from something that is called The Stockholm Syndrome (Wikipedia, defined: Stockholm syndrome is a psychological response sometimes seen in abducted hostages, in which the hostage shows signs of loyalty to the hostage-taker, regardless of the danger or risk in which they have been placed).
So, I ask others to treat Freddie Kissoon as a hostage to the Stockholm Syndrome and not be too harsh on him. Welcome him back into your/our communities as he himself lacks the ability to escape his mental trap. It is not that he is weak. It is just that he does not have the necessary support-base to feel confident in who he is. Then, again how can Freddie ever feel secure when he denigrates 100% of who he is (ie. when he denigrates Indians……let me put it to you this way Freddie, Michael Jackson had a lot more money than you and he was still not able to become white no matter how much he cut-up his face and bleached his skin to hide his African features).
I suspect as Freddie gets older, nearer to retirement, he may seek to be more vocally shrill and more eccentric.
If this was not the case then surprise me by explaining why Freddie Kissoon feels the need to tear-down things that are Indian and/or tear down Indian persons. Does he wish to be thought of as the Greatest Indian Guyanese Thinker in and out of Guyana?
The killing of Sash Sawh (Minister of Agriculture), attacks on The Ministry of Health, The Ministry of Public Works, and the Ministry of Tourism (indirect attack) is called systematic attacks of terror as these attacks are moving from Ministry to Ministry.
