The mercenary lobby of parasites against the innovative soul
Dear Editor,
Again in Sunday’s Kaieteur News, 18 November 2018, Freddie Kissoon persists through his column in the nauseating ignorance and contempt through his crusade against establishing a legal platform to liberate Guyana’s creative soul through Copyright legislation; from the isolation of poverty and the consistent violation of their human rights by plagiarists, parasites and pirates with illegal and legal finances who crave the continued exploitation and slavery of talents drugged by mirages, into the exploitation of their creative passions and the inevitable result of faded mirages.
To be fed the crumbs of their talents that fall from the table of slippery pirates that prey on their ignorance and needs, allowed by outdated laws, that this government must now address and historically give its due, condignly in the interest of its too long affected citizenry.
The overall deception of the column is a lengthy narrative of publicly known poster picks of actors, sports people, musicians that are not related or enforced by reference to their prevailing circumstance in any case, but intended as an illusion to convince Guyanese that they have no ‘Talented People;’ that they are better off slaves, existing without rights. The indoctrination of a talented people into the self-hate, self-loathing of considering themselves talentless in the face of what they have done without encouragement, like special skills development, marketing and legal support in their country of birth is the crescendo. ‘The climax of the colonial achievement over a colonised soul,’ in this case as with utterances before, Freddie is the classic colonial, intending to colonise us for his hidden masters, as it is obvious that he knows nothing about IPR’s. Not included in his deceitful list are Guyanese who he thinks that the ordinary Guyanese, especially the young, are unaware of, as the PPP his organizational bedfellow in the anti-copyright thrust have tried to suppress and smother from the national consciousness during their twenty-three years. The list I present of citizens at home and abroad [many accomplished abroad] are all related to copyright ownership; Martin Carter, Norman Beaton, Ramjohn Holder, Aubrey Williams, Denis Williams, E.R Braithwaite, Billy Moore, Bill Rogers, C.C.H Pounder, Dudley Charles, Sammy Baksh, Letitia Wright, Melainie Fiona, Harold Bascom, Sean Patrick Thomas, Sash Persaud, Vanessa Lee Chester, Wilson Harris, Grace Nichols, and a host of other names known, have performed and are performing outside of Guyana. The locally residing talents Freddie has contemptuously thrown aside are Ezzie Rockliffe, Burchmore Simon, Mike Jordan, Young Bill Rogers, and me, our Young Animators, playwrights, acting talents set designers, musicians, visual artists, novelists, jewellery designers, furniture designers, owners of family recipes, fashion designers, all that constitute cultural industries, that copyright law will empower. Freddie is paying some obligation with these clueless columns that he has written; he has never paid attention to the arts, and can’t tell you he has danced to Mischievous Guys, Telstars, Yoruba Singers, or knows who Pamela Maynard or Rita Forrester or Freddie Sancharry are; no one is supposed to know everything. Copyright rejection transcends Freddie Kissoon, it revolves around the political nepotism that created radio stations and T.V stations proposed to grow wealthy on piracy and the local exploitation of talents, the continuous printing of school texts, and part ownerships of all mentioned by that piranha self serving at all costs Party cabal. This brings the activism of potential copyright beneficiaries into serious focus. After Freddie evaporates, they will use their known cultural norm, to attempt bribery at the level of parliament of any government parliamentarian to marginalise Guyana’s creative potential to serve their narrow agenda.
Yours faithfully,
Barrington Braithwaite
