More Distortions from Freddie

Aug 25, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,
In his vitriolic column of August 23, Freddie Kissoon made references to me that are untruthful – deliberate and malicious attack to impugn my political independence and objective analysis as a social analyst. Freddie smeared my character with lies and distortions.
Freddie pens that “Vishnu Bisram writes daily pro-PPP personalised attacks against him” in the Guyana Chronicle (GC). Firstly, there are no daily letters from Bisram published in GC or in any paper on any topic, least of all on Freddie. Secondly, my recent letters in GC are responses to bile attacks against me. None of my responses to Freddie are at the behest of any political party, least of all from the PPP about which I have very serious and critical issues.
Freddie also pens that I refer to Kwame McCoy as my “political brother”. That is an absolute lie. I wrote that “Brother Kwame should ignore Freddie”. “Brother” in that context is the same as I would refer to Bro Eusi Kwayana or Bro. Freddie or Bro. Basil Williams, etc. No political affiliation was intended and there is none between me and McCoy.
Freddie may not know much about Indian culture. In the Indian community, we refer to one another as Bhai or bhaiya – meaning brother. So when I call Khemraj Ramjattan Bhai Khemraj, it does not mean we are political brothers. I even refer to some Africans in the villages as bhaiya and they use the same term to me. Does that mean that we are comrades in a political movement? Now, I understand what people mean when they say “Don’t respond to Freddie”.
Finally, Freddie pens my “polls are done for the PPP”. Can Freddie please cite any evidence to back his lie? I never conducted any poll for the PPP or any party in Guyana.
As best as I know, one party commissioned polls in Guyana and it used the services of Dick Morris who gave the party a six for a nine and Freddie praised Dick and lambasted me for accurate findings.
