I am currently in Stockholm, Sweden.  Do you know people who know about Guyana are laughing at us because of a character by the name Freddie Kissoon?  Around the globe, people know him as a comic and a failed academician.  This fella is lacking in academic credentials. Do you know this fella does not have a solid academic background and does not comprehend social science or natural science concepts? Anyone who is a specialist in a field will tell you Freddie does not understand concepts. He also has a tendency to distort facts and create great myths.  In fact, he is an expert at creating fantasies and myths.  Most of his writings are fiction.  He is a great fiction writer and I have just nominated him for the Nobel Prize in fictional literature while in Oslo last week. Freddie’s colleagues tell me he has an academic complex and a low self esteem probably because so many of his peers and younger people have achieved higher academic status than him.  Freddie tries to make up for his academic failures by attacking others who have achieved higher than him and by pontificating on concepts which he does not understand.  He misleads readers about these concepts which I will address in another missive.

This chap has a daily column which he abuses spitting venom at people he envies. It is unfortunate that KN gives him a license to pen lies and unsubstantiated allegations.  Almost all of his claims are without merit and have repeatedly disproven.  Yet he persists hoping that his mud will stick on the people he attacks unjustifiably.

Since Freddie can hardly prove any of the allegations he makes against others, one must not take him seriously as I have been repeatedly advised by respected Guyanese.  Even Guyanese who like Freddie say “don’t take him on”.

Freddie frequently complains that writers in the Guyana Chronicle abuse him in the letters section. This is exactly what he has been doing to others.  The abuses Freddie delivers to others (including me) far exceeds those from any media house. This is the same chap who says Guyana is a dictatorship and there is no press freedom in Guyana. Yet there is no gag to his abuses and unsubstantiated charges.

KN has to take action to stop Freddie from using the paper to get even with others and to make Guyana a laughing stock.  The paper should be used to educate and inform not to propagandise as Freddie has been doing daily against people more qualified than him.  It is not too long from now that people will take the paper to court to stop Freddie’s abuses.  I let him roll in faeces which he likes.  He is Willy, the Pig.

The paper also needs to take actions against Freddie for making Guyana the laughing stock of the world.  Guyanese are good, fun people.  The Swedish people talked about their positive experiences in Guyana.  A few of them talked about choke and rob.  But they remember Freddie, the comic, the most.  When they want to laugh, they said they read his column.  They roll in laughter for the chap pens so many inaccuracies.  I wonder if Freddie knows people see him as a comic.
