Freddie Kissoon replies to Hydar Ally

Jun 24, 2013 Letters

 

Dear Editor,
Life plays strange tricks on human beings. Sometimes the Freudian playbacks are amusing as in the case of PPP propagandists, Hydar Ally. In his letter on me in yesterday’s edition of KN, the type-setter may have made a Freudian slip. He set Mr. Ally’s first name as Hydra.
The word “Hydra” has become common in the English language. Always it is used in the hyphenated mode, “hydra-headed.” Hydra, in Greek mythology was a monster with nine heads.
Each time a head was cut off, two more heads replaced it.
Perhaps the appropriate form of cynicism to describe the PPP is hydra-headed. It says it is communist but it wears a capitalist head. It says it is democratic but it has on an authoritarian head. It says it is multi-racial but its racist head is graphically visible.
It says it is a working class party but last Sunday in a Stabroek News column, Ralph Ramkarran described the head it wears; given to it by a wealthy cabal. It says it is an anti-corruption party but all Guyanese see its ugly, kleptocratic head. Hydra had nine heads, the PPP has a million.
Hydar Ally’s role as a PPP propagandist is to hide the despicable heads on the shoulders of the PPP and present the ones that do not exist. He wants me to supply him with proof of the rigged 2011 elections. Why would I want to engage Mr. Ally on any proof-supplying process? Will PPP leaders like Ally and the Freedom House cabal accept any proof you show them?
My role in the Guyanese society is not to polemicize with people like Hydar Ally. To do that is to engage in an assault on one’s own dignity but to speak to my fellow citizens on the hydra-headed nature of the PPP and how those multiplicities of heads are destroying Guyana. I will ignore the comical deportment of people like Ally and continue my Aristotelian perambulations of trying to educate and liberate the country I belong to and love.
