Media voices and slogans to trick, mislead and intimidate
Dear Editor,
Rational observation and thinking have compelled me to re-examine what is done in the media. There is an imposition by some writers that is intended to trick, mislead, and intimidate you and I, while exciting their own intended constituency with ‘loud’ lies and fabrications. My long time colleague Freddie Kissoon seems malleable, the instrument of some political puppeteer that time and time again reshapes him, against what he would know better off. He is, of course a political scientist. Yet in his article on Saturday 5, January 2019 the mass head [referred as the slogan] for it is a slogan to persons who only read the ‘headline’ and not the article. “Exactly 50 years ago the government was illegal; it is now,” this is a baffling statement coming from Freddie Kissoon, why? Because the reference is made to the 1968 elections, this of all elections needed not be rigged, four years before; from 1961 to 1964 the PPP had waged a bloody racial civil war for power against the constituencies of both the United Force and the PNC. How was anyone from among those populations to vote PPP four years later?
Nineteen sixty-eight has become stock propaganda of the PPP and it needs to be exposed. The PPP are experts of crying victim whenever it suits the need, like the appeal of ‘rape, rape!’ that appeals to the bottom-house warning about ‘villainous other;’ outdated propaganda but still alive in the minds of those parliamentarians. Then the Charrandass Persaud conspiracy, and to that, what makes the APNU-AFC government illegal? How can a vote that violates so many aspects of the constitution [Dual Citizenship – 34 valid count – stipulations on notice of intention] be valid, and make a government illegal? Freddie should attempt to clarify history and understand complex situations before pronouncing on them, in the national interest.
Is it pure ignorance, or is the intention to tell a lie repeatedly or loudest as ‘legion’ and hope that it will disable all intellect and force the lie into ‘being’? Psychic propaganda is also psychological warfare. The public must build a file of the fiction and illogical writers on this matter. That they erred, does not remove the fact that they were confident in their media submissions; the Bar Association’s misrepresentation took a page and quarter. Christopher Ram came in, Ralph Ramkarran S.C was continuously banging us with false legal mantras, and he wants to form a new party – wow! Even the former Auditor General Annand Goolsarran bravely added his dose of misguidance; leave out Jagdeo, he will say that’s his job. This leaves only Nigel Hughes, Maxwell Edwards, Bryn Pollard S.C and the immortal Rex McKay S.C as the formidable knowledge bearers in the Nation’s interest. I want to contradict letter writer Clyde Pestano from Canada , Jagdeo’s last gasp ‘scheme’ for power exposed’ Chronicle Dec. 28,2018.
And collectively, let us implore GECOM to sanitize its voters list and staff, and we must pay attention to the political contentions revolving around external voter tampering in the USA.
We are no longer going to be a low income third world nation, in keeping with our coming status we must pay attention to possibilities we once thought belonged to other places and not us and vote for our future.
APNU-AFC must modernise the laws for SARA in respect to the law commanding explanations for unexplained wealth. The Copyright Law must be modernised and in place, the procurement laws adjusted, and as Senior Counsel Bryn Pollard said ‘Fix Parliament’. Happy 2019.
Yours Respectfully,
Barrington Braithwaite
