Dear Editor
I am exercising the right to respond in like measure to Frederick Kissoon’s article “Granger ignored Lewis, will Trump ignore Flynn?” (KN 23rdDecember 2020). I am a proud blue-collar worker. I admire all working-class people, blue collar or suit and tie whom some refer to as white collar. As a trades unionist I am happy to see persons engaged in honest and productive endeavours that bring financial sustenance to themselves and family whilst contributing honestly to building a better community.
I can make no claim of comparison to Michael Flynn’s nor Freddie Kissoon’s scholastic achievement. What I do know is, compared to Kissoon and Flynn I am a man of character and intellectual honesty. I am a patriotic Guyanese, an African man who subscribes to rights and the rule of law, not just for some, but for all peoples of my country and elsewhere, regardless of the colour of their skin, the texture of their hair or their social class. I believe in the humanity of all peoples making them deserving of equal rights and justice.
The values I hold are consistent with the seasons, for all citizens of the world. I believe in freedoms and equality. I believe in justice for all not just for some and unlike these two dishonest, unpatriotic rogues and outcasts, I have never been dishonourably discharged from any institution or organisation to which I was affiliated. Both Flynn and Kissoon are rejects, both at organisational and societal level and have resolved to being the useful waste utensil doing the dirty work for those who want to protect their own image.
Both men are miniature in physical size and are ugly human specimens by virtue of their shameless political recklessness and lack of rectitude. Both play the role in their respective countries akin to Dracula’s faithful hunchback, luring unsuspecting and naïve victims to a deadly ‘undead’ blood sucking experience, even as they support the unleashing of deadly evil on their nation. Flynn and Kissoon are both dishonest misfits and societal nuisances, with no moral code, nor sense of fair play. They may be seen as successful citizens in their spheres. They are not good nor decent citizens.
Flynn’s take on the USA election is different from mine on Guyana. Understandably the nincompoopism displayed by Kissoon and his wicked intent to undermine African resistance to a wicked regime would cause him not to acknowledge the basic differences in the two.
I am convinced it is Freddie’s job to advance and support an alternate reality in Guyana, to enable political destabilisation of our beautiful country by the greedy and corrupt political class. Kissoon operating at the level of the media absent the conviction, military brass, spit and polish is the Guyana version of Flynn though very disheveled, wild looking and uglier. Both appear to be having some mental condition beyond my intellectual competence to determine. As such I venture only to say, though functional, they are missing some marbles.
There are some who believe America has a sick mind in the White House, a mind of the kind that makes vicious dictators. Flynn who served that sick mind, creating history as the shortest serving national security adviser received a presidential pardon in a bizarre and continued crime absolution to thwart justice for the American people. Flynn since his release from prison suggested that outgoing U.S President Donald Trump should use military force to “rerun” the election in the key swing states he lost in November.
Trump has claimed massive electoral fraud and victory even though state and federal investigators have found no evidence of election fraud that would change the election outcome.Further, the validation and certification of the electoral process was completed by all states at the time when Flynn made additional reckless statements, suggesting misusing martial law in the absence of a complete civil breakdown of law and order and to delegitimise and overturn certified and valid electoral results. The intellectual idiot ignores this.
Contrary to what happened in the USA where the attempt to corrupt the electoral results was at the behest of the sitting President, in Guyana it was under attack by the then opposition and organised subsets, in conjunction with corrupt domestic, private media, regional and foreign forces, who set out to subvert the process.The vicious assault, lies and misinformation unleashed and the international bullyism of operatives led to all institutions of democracy collapsing under pressure.
Kissoon has earned his place as a key contributor to the recolonisation of Guyana; the 2020 electoral thievery; the undermining of GECOM; the domination and reinforcement of “alternative facts” to create an alternate reality; the PPP violence unleashed on this nation; the attacks meted out to the African working class and members of the African community. The looming destruction of Guyana as an independent sovereign nation exercising control over its oil wealth, and prime real estate rests on the shoulders of Kissoon, and other kindred spirits, amongst them some corrupt, self-serving, power driven, racists ideologues and soup drinkers with no moral compass nor commitment to country.
Trumpland, USA, is a case study of what transpired in Guyana and Bolivia but failed in the USA where democracy was also attacked.Guyana’s fledgling democracy unfortunately failed and corruption rules again. Unlike Kissoon, I have an unshakeable belief in rights and the rule of law for all Guyanese and not just some. I understand the moral value of wrong and right. I understand the intent behind his attack on my credibility and integrity. For him my embrace and pursuit of justice is a threat to PPP dominance and control. I represent the African resistance to the “black attack” that he is an architect of decades now.
Where my image and integrity are concerned my record which he seeks maliciously to impugn speaks for me as does his constant erroneous shape shifting. My position on the Guyana 2020 elections is unchanged.I repeat with the same conviction that given what was obviously and moreso now a coup President David Granger should have cancelled the elections. This was only possible before the declaration and I publicly, in an effort to save Guyana, expressed this view that remains unchanged.
The USA elections have been subjected to all exhaustive political and legal manoeuvre in an effort for a USA President embroiled in numerous corrupt practices to illegally overthrow the results. Guyanese should have exercised every legal manoeuvre to subvert the brazen coup unleashed on its democracy, championed by Trump officials and supported by others. Nothing in Flynn’s suggested military takeover of the USA elections process to circumvent declared and certified elections, that withstood several state recounts and court rulings, compares to my belief that President Granger could have and should have scrapped the elections and save Guyana from the coup that resulted in regime change. Whether it is a coup to bring about regime change or continuation, a coup is unacceptable to me.
Freddie the ugly misfit, Dracula’s hunchback and intellectually corrupt mind will seek to corrupt the gullible in society. As evident even in the great USA there are many such. Ours must be a constant battle to ground our society in rights and the rule of law. It is what worked for the USA and it can and will work for Guyana. Beware those, from media to all branches of government, who are a current threat and danger to these fundamentals upon which democracy must be built.
There is dignity in resistance and a duty of the decent people to do so. Fear must no longer stalk this land and sick bullies like Kissoon must be constantly challenged every time he raises his dishevelled head to present an alternate reality.
Regards
Lincoln Lewis
