Fascists singing songs of freedom in Guyana

Dec 23, 2017 Features / Columnists, Freddie Kissoon

The Minister of Agriculture was right, when asked why be bothered to respond to a moronic and asinine display of sick propaganda by the PPP. He said people may believe these things. The incident was a falsehood peddled by a mischievous PPP person that a senior minister from another ministry attempted to sexually assault a woman who was visiting the Agriculture Minister.

The description was so outrageously silly, that the journalist no doubt thought the Minister should have ignored it. But he was right when he said that the fiction is out there and people may believe it, and therefore it needed to be answered. We live in a completely different era from the past forty years. Back then, if news was not published no one knew of it. Today, an evil person can post a sick fiction on social media and it will spread.

One suspects it is for this reason, Dr. David Hinds had cause to comment on the failure of the public relations capacity of the government. The PPP is relentless. It will not stop its generation of electrically-charged mischief. The PPP knows it will not get back into power in the foreseeable future. Its agenda is confrontation. In the context of zero sum politics and ethnic competition, there may be logic to that.

After all, the PNC did harass the PPP when it came to power from 1992 to 2015. The PPP is going to do the same. If the APNU+AFC leadership thinks there will be the politics of accommodation by the PPP, it will be acting like little fools. The hierarchy of the PPP knows it will be out of office for a long time. Its physiology will be driven by confrontation. There will be no political concessions given to the APNU+AFC regime.

In such a situation, the creation of a machine of devilish politics will be running non-stop. We have seen the start of it, with two dramas in Parliament – the placard incident where President Granger was shouted down and the Edghill infamy. The Edghill affair was planned. Edghill was chosen to create the circumstance where unparliamentary deportment would bring rebuke from the Speaker, and then the plot would be put to action. Priya Manickchand’s lie of being cuffed in the chest was all part of that sinister stratagem.

The State needs to respond to the relentless propaganda put out there by the PPP. A few months back, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy wrote of a frightening outbreak of leptospirosis on the West Coast of Demerara. It never happened. One thing is pellucid in Guyanese politics today – the PPP will barefacedly ignore all the unspeakable crimes it committed, all the heartless policies that it implemented, all the terrible wrongs it heaped on this nation, as if they didn’t occur, and proceed with barefaced language to speak of human rights violations, anti-working class policies, and undemocratic behaviour of the government.

The government may be guilty of some dastardly conduct, but the PPP is never ever going to acknowledge just one mistake it made. Its employee, Jason Abdulla, gave a confession statement that implicated other PPP personnel in a violent attack for which Abdulla was jailed, but if the guy gets High Court bail, he will resume his work at Freedom House. But this very PPP will hold dozens of press conferences if a Congress Place employee assaults a journalist attached to a PPP-affiliated media house. This is the nature of the beast. The monster must be confronted.

In yesterday’s edition of the newspapers, Anil Nandlall wrote that a Guyanese investor naturally took his business to Trinidad, where electricity cost is five times cheaper. It is actually about eight times cheaper. A stranger reading that would never believe that Nandlall’s party had almost six presidential terms in office (in the American system) and left office with that expensive electricity cost. After 23 years in power, PPP supporters who suffer from blackouts must ask; “what were my leaders doing all this time?”

The year is about to close, and I will say that throughout 2017 many sick, psychotic, semi-civilized things happened in this land, but the one I found most abominable was PPP parliamentarians singing in Parliament that great anthem of liberation; “We shall overcome,” when the police moved in to stop their philistine outrage. That was a case of fascists singing songs of freedom. Surely, the families and relatives of Courtney Crum-Ewing, Ronald Waddell and the Munroe husband and wife team are not amused. All things that are impossible take place in Guyana. Imagine fascists singing songs of freedom. Can you believe that?
