The PPP’s opportunistic quest of guilt transference

Apr 07, 2017 Letters

Dear Editor,
I received an email through the network that I am linked to from the ‘Office of the Leader of the Opposition – Press Release March 24, 2017’ I read its details and pondered on why this exchange had taken on the nature of a crusade to destroy the Attorney General, on a pretext of court banter that could be considered contentious, but lacked incriminating substance to merit the attention. My legal curiosity was satiated on April 2, with the experienced clarity and authority of the former Chief Magistrate and my friend, Juliet Holder Allen, whose letter in the Kaieteur News enabled me to then fully understood the contention, as well as I understood what this contention meant to the Opposition PPP’s creed.
First, AG Basil Williams has done nothing remotely heinous that amounts to a reproach to the dictates of his office or career. But that is not what is happening here, for years I’ve paid keen attention to the creed of the PPP, there is a reality that’s evident in the study of the culture of the psychopath that deals with the transference of guilt, where his/her victim is held responsible for their own destruction. This is not outlandish as I will refer to substantial evidence that leads to the concept of ‘Transference of guilt’ in this case Political guilt as a consistent practice in the creed of the PPP.
Anil Nandlall was taped making references to using lethal armed confederates against Glenn Lall. Anil Nandlall was the Attorney General then. When ‘he’ was ‘circumstantially’ and his body guard was more prominently linked to the murder of Courtney Crum-Ewing, were these, the very armed confederates referred to? Now the transference of that guilt is directed without substance against the current Attorney General and Anil Nandlall is the flag bearing poster boy, coincidence?
A generation, in fact my generation were raised hearing the mantra of rigged elections, of how bad Forbes Burnham was and how corrupt the PNC was. The guilt that it was the PPP who launched a Racial Civil war for power in 1961 was even attempted to be thrown on the CIA. This transference of enormous Guilt that divided this country ethnically, which is kept alive by the PPP today, should have been in the forefront of our modern history, but it was not. They got away with it mounting a dogma of victimhood.
Imagine Leslie Ramsammy, this once Minister of Health who was allegedly embroiled with Roger Khan’s instrument of alleged murder [Roger Khan called and ordered him to make sure Ronald Waddell didn’t live, according to testimony in court which Ramsammy has denied] is now assuming a persona as a normal citizen, writing critical letters to the papers. Fervently again, cultivating the ‘Transference of guilt’ which is intended to once again convey victimhood to replace guilt, shame and judgement.
The minds in APNU-AFC tasked with monitoring the psychological warfare of the PPP and its financial allies must place a behavioural time line in perspective. Another example is the cartoon in Stabroek 26, March, depicting a ‘Boat gone ah falls’ scene with President Granger at the fall in the boat of the economy, with Bharrat Jagdeo and President Granger is asking Jagdeo for help, Fact: 1 -wasn’t it in the time of Jagdeo that we became a Highly Indebted Nation-HIPIC?, 2 -wasn’t this the most violent period in our modern post Independence history? 3 -Wasn’t this the period when the coffers of the NIS and CLICO were looted for private investment? 4 -And 82 % of our forest lands given to a foreign investor, with no plans to employ Guyanese. 5 -With a PPP promise of when re-elected to sell our water ways, and 6-concede to Venezuela part of our country because of an intellectual deficit to legally defend it?
I go to number 7 -Isn’t it true that to accommodate an inflow of drug money the nation had to be criminalised to facilitate a philosophy that anything was applicable as long as who needed to be paid was paid, a philosophy that still haunts us? 8 -Isn’t it true that many Guyanese survived on remittances, which have dried up because of a global recession and most of the countries that our populations earned from are in financial trouble themselves? Of the first seven which one would the APNU-AFC require the opposition to help them with, according to this cartoon? Understand though, that I am not part of the Government, but as a citizen I have a strong perspective viewed from solid ground, and concede much work still has to be done by this Government.
The Attorney General and the accusations wheeled against him fit into a scheme of things, to which the former chief Magistrate has placed in its correct legal format, stripping the propaganda. Nice work sister, Madam Holder, was it in my power you would be the next head of GECOM.
