MR. Frederick Kissoon continues to instigate and preach violence in our country. All his articles are of the same. This is how far journalism has slipped in this country. Two things can explain Kissoon’s actions: the first is that he is absolutely irresponsible; he has no constituency, and therefore behaves crazily. The other is that he is trying to give the impression that he is so indignant.For him, it is more of a show to demonstrate to the PNC/APNU that he is with them. He therefore has to overcompensate. Such behaviour is determined by his own cowardice. He knows that he can say all these things, and no one in the PPP/C and government will harm him.
He feels that he is safe in attacking the PPP/C Administration. It is also true that he is aware of what will happen to him if he attacks the PNC/APNU in that manner. So, now, the PNC/APNU is good; it does not matter that Rodney, whom he hypocritically claims he loved, was brutally assassinated by them.
Those are the same people who have been accused of several murders of the then political Opposition; it is the same people who destroyed Freedom of the Press and murdered journalists. He knows what happened to Dayclean, the Mirror and Catholic Standard. That is the same party that pauperised the Guyanese people, and criminalised them for eating bread, roti, split peas dholl, potatoes, sardines, corned beef, etc. These are the same people who established controls over the judiciary and flew the PNC flag above the Guyana flag at the Court of Appeal, then the highest court in Guyana.
Now, the cowardly Kissoon, to ingratiate himself to that bunch, is working overtime to try to rehabilitate the image of the PNC/APNU. His “love” of Rodney is clearly just hot air; he has to work himself up to a maniacal rage, because the PPP/C has done nothing to him to justify his hatred.
Everyone who knows him is aware of how frightened he was in the post-1997 elections. He was cringing and crying and afraid the PNC would have beaten him up. Whenever things heat up, Kissoon disappears; that is his history.
Recall, too, that Tacuma Ogunseye had accused him of being a coward. Kissoon loves to speak about himself, but those in the WPA know he is just a little coward seeking to befriend those he believes could, and would, harm him. For that, he has to be a strident and fanatical opponent of the present democratic administration.
