Especially those who want to own the nation

WE do not ever evaluate elections outside of the enforced subculture of racial politics and its conformity. We live here, so we must pursue a basic understanding of those who want to act in the national interest and the ‘Shut Buttons’ who want to engage in self-serving pacts and ritual covens. Most of the new political party enthusiasts are during the periods between elections, ambivalent and inactive towards any social and public involvement in the grievances and concerns of our humanity, except through critical letters. They show no hands-on interest in the very constituencies they want to vote for them in an emotional quick-rush at elections, the concept of uncelebrated (via media and accolades) contributions are intangible to their nature; thus, elections are purposeful only to establish relevance- their personal relevance- when obvious social oblivion beckons. But that in itself is an illusion, for a quote from pagan literature warns: “All things human will fade away; only works and deeds shall endure.” There is no mention of riches as works and deeds.

There is also another area that elections unveil: a pageantry of human case studies, that reveal ‘liars,’ ‘shameless dishonesty,’ and ‘callous deception and opportunism,’ leading to the human susceptibility to allow emotions of some immediate disappointment to create out of the clueless, procrastinating whiner, the necessary political cannon fodder. Apart from the social dramatic tragedies, there are the cultural and historical episodes. The in-depth tragedy of the colonial legacy where ideals are trampled upon and the colonial “jumbie” of self-contempt and loathing is revealed. Evident in the reference of the inevitably destructive nature of the imposter who leads an army then flees as Darius of Persia did, to be subsequently executed by his own generals. I want to confront self-contempt/hate in the vocabulary of politics, against not the obscure, but in defiance of the publicly clarified. The Kitty launch of the opposition elections campaign, a known character whose phenotype is obviously Afro-Guyanese, expounded in a crude race-baiting launch in the following narrative…“This young woman is a medical doctor for six years; you know what this means, she is one of Jagdeo’s scholars. She is one of those 1,000 plus young people that were sent to Cuba when we din look at colour, race or religion. You just had to be bright and we send you to Cuba to give you a future. She is Afro-Guyanese, yes she black, yes I seh she black the PNC ent own black people…” etc. etc. etc.

I wrote about this distinct cultural difference between the major political parties on September 8, 2019. GNNL in an article titled, “It is not the ethnic dilemma that divides us at elections, but the severely denied cultural dilemma” and I’ll quote the prophetic extract from that article “I will quickly analyse. If in office among one people when you execute that office in their interest, culturally translate to instant political homage, then the execution of officialdom becomes the conduit of bribery. You punish the ‘other’ because you don’t get the same homage if you build a bridge, because, in that culture, the cultural perception is, that you are placed in that office to work in the interest of the people. You build the bridge because it is your duty to do so, and it is appreciated. You are viewed as an honoured Elder.” I never could have believed that evidence for my analogy could have been justified that quickly.

Next, across the Afro-New World, the term ‘black people’ is not in the common public vocabulary when addressing African-descendants, because terms like doing ‘Black Face’ ‘Darkie’ ‘Black like sin’ ‘Negro’ have all, and more, been negative caricatures from our colonial historical reference replaced by ‘African descendants’, Afro-American, Afro- Guyanese etc. because the world acknowledges human variations and phenotypes in many cases to geographic continental origins. The only case that Black is featured as a colloquial is with Black-History Month. Thus this politician, in using Afro then reversing to “she black, yes I say she black, the PNC ent own black people,” is rooted in the same self-contempt as the allegation that he referred to Lindeners, incidentally, a region that by virtue of their economics house the largest collection of technical minds in the country, as “Hard Headed Black people.”

This is a clear case of ‘self-hate’ and not at an ordinary stage. Surely, this axe cannot convince these trees that because his handle is of wood, he is one of them. The Christ, or his Khemetic name “Maá Kheru” was a scourge against the exploitive organised religious-political manifestations of that era, in the same vein of some political parties today. It was Christ who whipped the violators out of the Temple, referred to the pretenders as “A generation of vipers” and the most profound relevant statement. Mark 12; 38, 39, 40 “Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the market places, and the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers; these shall receive greater damnation.” Does this sound like a soul that would join a scandal-riddled atheist political cult? Yet, this was the pronouncement on the Christ before 2015, from this selfsame politician, who also postulates as a religious leader.

Schwab was quoted in 1992 stating that the dividing line of the future is not between those who have and those who don’t. But between those who know and who don’t; self-hate is always rooted in a deeper psychosis, sometimes unreachable; all nations have had characters with this dangerous impediment. The Englishman Houston Stewart Chamberlain the Kaiser’s Vizier, was one such character who stood in rejection of his national origin [in our case ethnic], who can be credited with inspiring the first World War and an inspiration to the Nazi movement.

To reject dangerous propaganda with fact is the cleansing broth towards a healthier nation, as follows A- The birth of the PNC according to Ashton Chase’s ‘History of Trade Unionism in Guyana 1900 to 1961 “Mr. Burnham with the aid of Dr. Latchmansingh split the PPP IN 1955.”pg. 212, B- then Jai Narine Singh’s ‘Guyana Democracy Betrayed’ quote- “Jagan had by now lost his main militant supporters, and had himself become a kind of dictator governing the affairs of Guyana as lord and master of it all. He organised protest demonstrations in several parts of the country in the course of which Afro Guyanese were killed and murdered, this led to a chain reaction, organised by the PNC and their supporters…”

The circumstances of our sordid history as Lionel Peters frames it must be addressed when in the face of dishonest, nonsensical pronouncements and false accusations about forced ownership of peoples, when it is obvious the truth differs. But this information of a past thinking and its attitudes, in its entirety, and not distorted, should be commonly known for a wiser more enlightened nation, to finally clear the space of all phantoms: those that haunt from the past and those alive among us.
