Dear Editor,
Now that the PPPC Government has been taken to task by the GHRA for being in denial, would this indeed wake them up to Guyana’s urgent realities? Doubts reign supreme. How more poignant can the GHRA become? More evidence of the PPPC denial? The PPPC has failed to balance Guyana’s armed forces despite being in power for 20 years with the 1980 Constitution which gave them no grounds for excuses. More evidence of the PPPC in denial?
Its socialist class struggles and history were not found incompatible with its rapid adequate correction of black racial deficiency in diplomatic service appointments – in less than three months! Bravo! But …but…. But why does the PPPC only make me see red?
Considering Mr. Mike McCormack’s criticisms in SN of 5-11-12 titled “ruling party appears in denial over election results-GHRA” can anyone seriously believe that the PPPC can continue in power forever? Just before he was assassinated, (Shakespeare’s) Julius Caesar, with all the conspirators surrounding him refused a petitioner’s plea which affected him personally: “What touches us ourself shall be last served”. All the conspirators then plunged their daggers in him to his death. Must PPPC refusal to learn from history find them continuously repeating the same mistakes? Why is this issue not on their urgent national agenda?
Just watch the charade when they inevitably become the opposition party. “Oh we made some mistakes” would be the concession; the ritual to excite their supporters in a whine up tassa dance to demand balancing the armed forces will start all over again. How better that wine gets the more it ages.
There can only be applause for that cunning GHRA wolf masquerading in sheep’s’ clothing now that it has again sunk its fangs in the ruling party’s sagging posterior. It should wake them up from their smug slumber.
A wolf craftily camouflaged in bed has every (GHRA?) rights to drool in crooning anticipation just before it devours a naive hippity skippity “little Red Riding (dare I say it…please hold me back) Good”; for them! Who can have any beef with a cunning wolf which can recalibrate from sheep to grandma to get some.
Ever since Mr. Mike McCormack’s one man secretive organization erroneously claimed that Guyana was carved out of the Atlantic Ocean by slaves it has sought to whitewash the ridicule which it evoked. Where did Guyana’s native population live before this bizarre claim that the GHRA is yet to explain? Obfuscating the ageless existence of our native Amerindians before anyone came to Guyana is just so much executive lunacy and GHRA hogwash.
Does the GHRA really expect any other minority Caribbean culture to willingly acquiesce in their annihilation and demise? If our original native Amerindians existence can be wiped out just by a GHRA press release by supposedly “human rights champions” how much more violence, trauma and danger must anyone or group especially besieged PPP/C supporters be subjected to, or endure for survival in a growing hostile environment which views them as a racial “numerical anomaly”, as ACDA’s Mr. Barrington Braithwaite so pointedly reminded in a letter to Stabroek News (SN) on 11-27-11 titled, “Only APNU has the expertise to rescue this nation”.
If the PPP/C needs any further kicks that it must get over its current denial it must reconcile all its laudable economic achievements with GHRA’s assertation that “moreover, since the ruling party has to date offered little to either its own supporters or to other citizens (see what I mean?), particularly the young, with respect to jobs, education or a more attractive future, any snap election could only be won by appealing to (Indian) ethnic loyalties”. Whoa!
The GHRA has already placed blame in advance to those with any perceived “ethnic loyalties” to the PPP/C in case of snap elections. The GHRA even murders the AFC with its pen realizing mostly Indian votes currently sustains it. Surprised? Why does the same GHRA (or few others) find no fault whatsoever with any black ethnic loyalties (bucking the misery which they did, or did not suffer?) but who yet massively voted for the same PNC which dehumanized them for 28 years?
So far all GHRA’s history belie all the evidence that all Guyanese are entitled to their God given rights as human beings. Never must any Guyanese human existence be diminished or denied just because theirs is not Mr. Mike McCormack’s GHRA preferred favourites. When the GHRA emerges to champion the racial balancing of Guyana’s armed forces only then would it gain true respect and credibility with which it adorns itself.
Why it has never done so in all its history is still a mystery. But just in case there is any ambiguity about the prejudices of Mr. McCormack’s GHRA, note his emboldened temerity in the same SN article of 5-4-12. In fact, he boldly asserts that “…a snap election would reflect a (PPP/C) desire to return to the ethnic dictatorships which characterized Guyanese politics since the 1960s”.
By harking back to the 1960s when the PPP was in office Mr. McCormack seeks to seemingly bridge the gap to nowadays PPP/C (sneakily attempting to dismiss the PNC dictatorship of 28 years) to ostensibly infer a seamless , continuous “ethnic dictatorship” of the PPP. His obvious blatant thrust is to create menacing imagery of Indian domination and dictatorship for five unbroken decades! Unbelievable as it is amazing that a human rights organization can epitomize such evil despicable mischievousness.
Where is the GHRA credibility … as a friend…in championing human rights for all? With such a friend one certainly cannot want more enemies.
