KWAME McCoy penned two superb explanations of Freddie Kissoon’s persona recently.  After reading those commentaries, one should not attempt to use logic, sound reasoning, and rational arguments to counter the illogical nonsensical comments of Freddie Kissoon. He is immune to rationality.   You have to behave like him in order to counter his nonsense to gain his respect.

When I was a doctoral student at New York University in Fall 1984, I took a course on fascism with Professor Bertell Ollman.  He suggested the way to counter fascists is to give them a dose of their own medicine. I believe the same applies to Freddie Kissoon – give him a dose of his own medicine.  Pretend like” yuh head na good” and say all kinds of silly, illogical things about him.  Then he will understand you. In fact, a psychologist from New Jersey offered me the same advice about my responses to Freddie.  The good Doc (Persaud), formerly from East Coast, said “Da boy head na good. I know that from what he writes. He pens you are not a teacher but every Guyanese knows you are a teacher.  He says you are not a pollster.  Yet every Guyanese knows you have been conducting polls for years. So something got to be wrong with his head. When you respond to him, play like yuh head na good. He will respect you because he won’t want to disrespect his kind”.

Similar advice was given to me when I was in Guyana. Everywhere I went people said don’t bother with Freddie.  “He head na good”, is how they defend him.  They feel sorry for him and wish if something can be done to help him.  I too wish if he can be helped.  Many have tried but all have failed. Some suggested that he seeks help in Canje.  Ravi Dev suggested he consult Dr. Hari.  I urge that a pandit jharay him. But he won’t take advice.

Brother Kwame, thanks for your explanations!  Guyanese know all is not well with Freddie.  That is why they don’t take him on.
