History is replete with such masqueraders

May 02, 2015 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
I am sure that everyone would now agree that foreign forces which sought their own interests joined with our local lackeys to destroy the way of life in this once beautiful Guyana.
But, such deeds seem inherent in many countries around the world. It is only after the fruits of such sordid actions are realized that we lament about the unfortunate outcomes, as we then afterwards enter the domain of repentances and blame-castings.
It is only after the massive destruction of the Second World War, and the deaths of over seventy million persons do we hear the four-word sentence in Hitler’s Germany – “We Should Have Resisted”.
As for Guyana, we cannot doubt that the recent unfortunate outbursts of Dr. Bheri Ramsaran, to what he deemed as provocation, are today’s spin-off products of our society. We tolerated a lot of nonsense a long time now, but I am glad to see that we have now arisen to come down on him.
So now that Guyanese seem to be in a cleansing mood, we should continue our forward movement and condemn the politicians and their cohorts who denied the rights of Guyanese to choose Governments of their choice.  It is dishonest and absurd to say that one Political Party won over two-thirds of the votes in the 1985 elections in Guyana and so on.
We should also recognize the cruel turncoats in our society and condemn them, as they permit their mouths and actions to be strangers to their consciences while in search of self glorification and power. History is replete with such masqueraders who cunningly traverse from the truth to the ridiculous to browbeat their victims even to the extent of denying their ethnicity.
Jesus said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.  And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.  (Luke 7: 18-23)
