LOOSE cannon Freddie Kissoon is at it again (Stab News September 30, 2011) firing wildly and wantonly in his crazed campaign against the government.  His loathing is so extreme that it almost invokes in him nostalgia for the dictatorships of Burnham and Hoyte.  He even goes so far as to “consider” the Hoyte regime “the most democratic government since the colonials (foreign dictators) gave British Guiana self-governance. ” What! Hoyte? The man and the regime that in 1985 gave us the worst rigged elections in our history and who was right there unapologetically alongside Burnham for all the previously rigged ones and for the paramountcy and the “type of exercise of power” that the engendered, like the total control of most aspects of Guyanese life and the politically inspired deaths of Rodney and Fr. Darke and others.
And during his, Hoyte’s own “interregnum, the setting of the “dogs of war” on the destitute Sophia squatters and the threat to set them on any Guyanese who dared challenge him. He who not just ‘cussed out’ but fired Yesu Persaud for suggesting that they should implement some basic democratic reforms.  Hoyte? Who ‘unconstitutionally’ extended his stay in office by two years and resisted, almost to the very end, free and fair elections and the impending freedom of the Guyanese people from the long stranglehold of Kissoon’s newly exhumed and whitewashed heroes.
Kissoon is fond of telling us that he is a long time analyst and investigative journalist, as if that makes his opinions any less biased, subjective or incorrect.  He holds himself up as a fighter for human rights and democracy.  Yet this same paragon of democratic virtue is/was willing to have a gang of ruthless murdering criminals let loose on our hard gained freedom when he stated, on the TV programme, in true vanguardist style, “if (we) the WPA had control of what was happening in Buxton we would have overthrown this government.”
Freddie Kissoon is a serial agitator, which he more or less admits.  It’s a drug to him. The freedom and latitude he enjoys in Guyana’s newly democratic climate has allowed him to vent his spleen and indulge his habit to debauched excess.
