I VOTED for the Liberty and Justice Party in the 2020 elections. But I demanded in columns from March to July in 2020 that the PPP victory must be acknowledged, the alternative of which was permanent power. The PPP won the 2020 elections fairly and squarely.

To deny that fact and allow an organisation to stay in power forever was not only an ugly mentality, but an endangerment of the very existence of Guyana.

We cannot rig elections to keep out a party we do not want. We are not endowed with the right to do so. Who gave us that right?
Where is the source of that right? I would not have voted for Mr. Trump. In fact, if I were a US citizen, I would have campaigned against Mr Trump, but he won the 2016 election and deep-state mechanisms that did not want Trump to remain in office conspired to invalidate his presidency.

One of the ugly methodologies against Trump was the investigation into his relationship with the Russians. It turned out to be damp squib.
After four years in power, Mr Trump coined the term, “deep state.” It was a humongous irony coming from a US President when Marxist historians have long argued that the US always had an industrial/security complex that is coterminous with presidential and legislative power.

I believe Mr Trump when he said that there was a deep-state conspiracy against him because I believe and know that the US always had a deep-state invisibility that ran parallel to presidential power.

Robert Kennedy Jr has become close to Trump because he wants the remaining papers of the investigation into his uncle’s assassination (John F. Kennedy) to be released. Kennedy said that the deep state is responsible for conspiring to assassinate his uncle.

I am going to make sure I keep this column in a prominent place in my home. I say this because I think Mr. Trump’s presidency is going to be the most turbulent in the history not only in the US, but the world.

I believe his four years, if he survives, will be a confrontation between the deep state and Trump. If I were a betting person I would say Trump is not going to fare that well.

But look who is talking about tech-industrial complex conspiracy to undermine American democracy? Mr Biden, just three days before he leaves office said that in his last White House speech.

But I thought it was Mr Trump who saw how that complex was used to hound him down when in office and after he left. Here are Mr Biden’s own words: “Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy….”
Such an opinion is a nonsensical one when you put analysis to it. When did this oligarchy of unlimited money begin? Bill Clinton had eight years and Mr Obama had eight years. Biden just completed four. Mr Obama bankrolled the super rich in 2008. That is 20 years of recent presidents from the Democratic Party. Trump had four years. So when did this oligarchy of unlimited reach was born? It is silly to concede that it had its birthday during Trump’s first term.

Moneyed people in the US funded and kept alive the careers of all the Presidents the past 40 years that came from the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party is seen as Wall Street politicians and this explains why Trump beat Hilary Clinton and Harris. Voters defeated Clinton and Harris because they see them as the establishment candidates that Wall Street bankrolls.

Is the media going to ask Biden before he rides off ignominiously into the sunset where this oligarchic complex was when Clinton, Obama and he were in power?

Mr Biden is reeling with anger because big money that long supported the Democratic Party is now giving it to Trump. For a long time now, Silicone Valley was funding the Democratic Party. The tables are turned now and Mr Biden is crying wolf.

Is there a threat to American democracy by a super-rich class? The answer is yes, but people like Mr Biden and his friends in the Democratic Party like Bill and Hilary Clinton and Obama should be the last to talk about that.

Mr Obama’s two presidential campaigns were deeply and extensively funded by the very super wealthy that Mr Biden now warns the American people about.

He rides away on Monday and the judgement on him will be harsh. I think he was the worst president the US had. He showed not an ounce of remorse in aiding and abetting one of the cruellest acts of genocide in history. Go Mr Biden and please don’t ever come again.
