IT was forthcoming. All the time he was ‘digging his own grave.’ One guess is that readers will have to go elsewhere (outside the KN) for jocular imbibing.
Now Freddie is seeking to be vatic, and in doing so, he is the ‘butt’ of another big joke. He now ‘falsely prophesies’ that Donald Ramotar will be a cruel leader should the PPP continue to rule Guyana. Here are some of his untenable reasons.
Freddie Kissoon is seeking to besmirch Ramotar, based on a personal matter. His nephew and Ramotar’s son, Alexie, were involved in an accident, and now the cynosure is Freddie and not his nephew nor Alexie.
Let the supposition be that Freddie has a legitimate cause to ‘rant and rave.’ Here are some questions for one to cogitate upon.
Why did the nephew summon Freddie Kissoon to the scene? Why ‘Uncle Freddie’ then called in his catamite, Mark Benschop? Why is the nephew not taking up his cause, or the lawyer for that matter? This seems a clear case of ‘making political hay while the sun is shining.’ Freddie needs to understand a few basic things and the quicker the better.
First, Freddie is no ‘bad John.’ No one fears Freddie. He is not revered nor is he intimidating. He has stated (quite stupidly too) that the aim of an analyst is to seek and expose follies (Imagine!). So every time he sees an ant, he ‘hollers’ ‘army.’ So can anyone take him seriously? Just look at his columns. They are characterised by the fantastic. They are riddled with inaccuracies, bombastic language, grammatical solecisms, hasty interpretations, and superfluous vacuities.
The man is a living, insane and deluded character. Now what could have been settled amicably (and maybe still could be) has been blown out of proportion. Little ‘big-man’ nephew erred in soliciting the help of Uncle Freddie. Look what he has got-Freddie Kruger and not Freddie Kissoon.
One can ask a few other questions. If a columnist sets out to identify follies, he will create them when they are not to be found. This explains the reason for Freddie’s writings being so filled with errors, fabrications, fulminations and hasty generalisation. Now take a look, and see if even by coercion, one can follow his logic. He opines that Donald Ramotar will be cruel, but why.
Consider that Clive Lloyd’s life-long infidelity was exposed by his wife and equate this with his tenure as West Indies cricket captain. Take Shivnarine Chanderpaul’s personal and domestic crises and weigh them against the fact that he is ‘Mr. Reliable’ in world cricket. Floyd Mayweather has never been out of legal problems, and he still dazzles in the ring. Recently, President Jagdeo was able to distance himself from his private woes and still focus on the job of presidency. So Freddie is at least egregiously illogical. But he is more too. He evinces personal vendetta.
First, he over reacted and he is still doing it. The matter is one which has prescribed legal ambits, and he is obnoxiously interfering.
One is not even hearing from the ‘victim’ nor his lawyer. So poor Freddie is ‘way out of order.’
Too many times he is fighting for a constituency that does not exist.
He should go to Berbice and seek a gathering to address on the recent ‘Babu John’ issue that he sought to distort. Freddie must quickly accept that he is not taken seriously.
At times he blows his own trumpet, but all he does is adding to the ‘noise nuisance’ in Guyana. Accept this please: Freddie is not a good writer (even linguistically speaking); he is not a serious political commentator; he is not an intellectual giant. At best, Freddie Kissoon is a disenchanted Stormy Petrel. He is the epitome of a joke. Donald Ramotar has won the confidence of the Guyanese populace. So give him his deserved opportunity.
All for your consideration
