The witch doctors and voodooism

TO ASK that the population, especially the youth, deceive themselves into believing that looking back to the past for guidance is racist and ill-advised is insulting. It is this ability to look back to the past; to look at the present; and to look to the future that makes us uniquely human. The intelligent voting public will explore all of our history and then cast their votes.Moses, Ramjattan and Ramayyah were partially successfully in deceiving some people to vote for them as AFC representatives. But the three voodoo practitioners believed that the people are now under their spell and will follow them, zombie-like, to the PNC graveyard.

The spell has been broken by a boon called truth. The PPP/C has once again unleashed that universally acknowledged cure called truth. What is hidden in that graveyard called the PNC will be exposed by opening the eyes of our people. And we will under no circumstance allow the 28 years dictatorship of the PNC/APNU to be farcically placed behind that façade Moses calls change.
Genuine change will come after we have examined all the facts about our past. A fully educated citizenry is a guard against the PNC/APNU-AFC. The PNC/APNU brought our country down from a prosperous country to one that became a basket case that relied on handouts of worm-infected cheese and weevil-infected peas. The PNC/APNU’s voodoo economics brought Guyana to the brink of starvation.
But the PNC/APNU-AFC is not satisfied with casting their spell on the people; they have embarked on a backup plan, by requesting the help of ex-military men, locally as well as those who reside in the Diapora. The majority of them are from the New York area. These ex-military men are in their early sixties, and have a swagger about them. They have returned with the promise of loot to be had should the PNC gain power.
The PNC/APNU has already placed items on it’s agenda to reward the ex-military personnel. The reward comes under the rubric of a Veterans’ Commission that will dole out tax payers funds for past service.
The promised rewards are not limited to veterans of the Armed Forces, but promises are made to current members of the military as well. Where are the resources going to come from? The radio chatter is that the Forces are being starved for funds while the private sector is reaping a bonanza. This argument was made by Burnham’s PNC, and the country was brought to its knees after a 500 per cent increase in military spending.
I implore the younger generation to look to the immediate west of our dear Guyana and see what misery a military dictator will bring to you. The simplest of foodstuff is in need, and leads to open riots and looting. Those who are older only need to look back at the PNC dictatorship for guidance as to the misery such a government can cause. Say no to the PNC/APNU-AFC, and yes to the PPP/C on May 11, 2015.
