jurisprudence effectively battered Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr Martin Luther King, Jnr, and many other civil rights (Jews included) workers.
Have we forgotten that our boxing legend Mr. Muhammad Ali was also jailed on court orders because he refused to kill innocent Vietnamese by joining the U.S. army?
This reliance on the courts as a thermometer of justice to which both our goodly gentlemen, Mr. Kirton and Mr. Cheong seem to be shackled, can be a double-edged sword, undoubtedly.
No court has so far ruled that the PPP/C government is corrupt or unfair in Linden. When the PNC apologises and makes restitution for its miserable rule it would mark a turning point in our history.
The GDF’s transportation of stolen votes and ballot boxes with Mr. David Granger and others gleefully in charge, resulting in Berbicians Mr. Jagan Ramessar and Mr. Bholanath Parmanand being shot dead cannot be a figment of the imagination or a big joke.
Any suggestions that Dr Walter Rodney and others were not against election rigging and died for nothing? It would be of immense pleasure to hear from both Mr. Moses Nagamotoo and Mr. Khemraj Ramjattan that they now believe that the PNC never rigged elections.
That would be interesting. Wouldn’t it? Or that every man jack in the WPA who fought against Burnham’s PNC does not believe the PNC ever rigged elections?
Where is the evidence to debunk the facts that the PNC was not the architect and beneficiary of all election riggings?
Given that the PNC gained easy success in election rigging was due to the reality that its mostly black concentrated support-base facilitated control of Guyana’s predominantly black armed forces and civil service.
Both goodly gentlemen cannot forget that the PNC had an effective stranglehold on Guyana’s court with the PNC’s flag blatantly hoisted over the Guyana Court of Appeal.
With the PPP parading its socialist policies in the face of America, it was no wonder America was prepared to allow all these anti-democratic transgressions. A PNC government in the service of America doing its bidding was in perfect harmony with both completely happy. Or have we forgotten our history? The fortunate mustering of international state support even witnessed the dismantling of apartheid South Africa and white-ruled Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe).
Yet with Zimbabwe’s President Mr. Robert Mugabe now starving his countrymen, we can only witness the west the UK and U.S. mostly) raising the issue at the United Nations. What
explains the current international black silence to address this nowadays parallel PNC depravity?
Did the mostly Indian-supported PPP have such an international cavalcade and state reliance? If the PNC gained legality because it was not condemned inside the UN, it was certainly
condemned outside the same UN.
I was there protesting regularly with many including Mr. Bisram, Dr. B Ramharack, CPG and many others.
And even if it is true that China gained UN membership by majority votes it was nevertheless done with the blessings from the West as a counter balance against the Soviet Union.
Note how the U.S. economic blockade against the communist-ruled Cuban island made many Cuban exiles in Miami cheerful.
Were both these goodly gentlemen not also deeply saddened when those same Miami-based Cubans bombed a Cuban airliner and sent many Guyanese to watery graves in the Caribbean? Obviously, was not the U.S. validating Chinese communism as legal and Cuban communism as illegal?
Mr. Carl Cheong and Mr. Wesley Kirton (our Republican heroes) know the truth that the PNC rigged elections but are only involved in a little fancy footwork to obfuscate history. I am not going to let them get away with such lies and fallacies.
If the truth be told, Dr Cheddi Jagan’s PPP, even while it fought against rigged elections, found more appeal when it came down to the brotherhood of socialism which the PNC suddenly embraced. PNC Machiavellians at work!
It is all fantasy that since no court, nor the United Nations nor any commission accumulated any evidence that conclusively explains and satisfies the PNC’s exoneration from complicity or guilt in election rigging or wrecking the country’s economy, memories of the PNC’s illegal rule still resonate and provoke strong negative reactions.
Only the PNC can change that. People like me will always continue to speak the truth regardless of the courts.
