And the theory holds, as one registers earthly years, the experiences gained evolve to new knowledge. However, there is a caveat, exceptions are exceedingly many, of which Freddie Kissoon is exemplar.

Foolish Freddie
Thus, our fervent prayer, only us the unfortunate many, ever face exposure to Freddie Kissoon’s diatribes, since if they of foreign lands bare witness, the erroneous conclusion would be, we are the land of the unthinking brainless. For from PPP, there is the embarrassing SOPs demands, which the self-proclaimed academic embraces like an extramarital affair. But academics and academia are irreversibly married, meaning, they will forever examine events through rational lenses, deconstructing with tools of deductive reasoning and scientific evidence. Thus, an academic of mountainous explorative research, wouldn’t expend cognitive energies demanding SOPs, cognisant they are of no evidentiary value, having been rendered legally redundant.

But unsurprisingly, having expended millions to have “Academic” inscribed on his birth certificate, Freddie Kissoon without evidence, asserts ad nauseam, APNU+AFC rigged the elections. However, such transgressions we consider venial, since burdened with Zika Virus microcephaly, unaware he is that such a determination remains the purview of the Petition Court. However, having been enlightened, he of somnolent neurons, counting more grey hair than grey matter, continues to offload irrationality, in projecting his personal opinion as established fact.

Therefore, his recent mouthing, asserting Afro-Guyanese inflicted more harm on Indo-Guyanese, than Indo-Guyanese on Afro-Guyanese, must be examined in the context of another brainless rum shop rambling. For a Phd he craves, which forever eludes, down to an inability to undertake his own research, while respecting the sanctity of the research of others. Hence, research principles we shall impart to enlighten the plagiarist, that research provides answers rather than more questions. Thus, many are now reassured, his most racist utterance was another drunken hysterical expression of personal opinion, delivering only halitosis amines and many unanswered questions;

1. Who undertook the research?

2. What was the sample size?

3. What was the racial breakdown?

4. When was the research undertaken?

5. What was the age spread of the samples?

6. How was harm defined?

7. What are the limitations of the study?

8. Were similar studies previously undertaken?

9. Were findings consistent with prior studies?

10. Are future studies recommended?

11. How will this research benefit our society?

12. What was the research methodology?

Therefore, this the message, personal opinion is frowned upon in the research world, therefore Freddie Kissoon’s personal opinion garbage, will join similar garbage, in the sewage.

Lackey lawyers 
Now the election impasse we revisit, where many of PPP were with unfounded fear, that Burnham will magically resurrect from his mausoleum. Whence, two of vacuous crania, Timothy Jonas and Sanjeev Datadin, concocted disinformation of content unadulterated rubbish, that Burnham rigged elections. However, the letter columns I then owned, thus queried of the two dullards, what evidence they have to support such an assertion? But unsurprisingly the evidence was nonexistent, like sugar on the supermarket shelves. Thereafter, caned they were, to provide evidence of a Court vitiating Burnham’s election wins. And of course, just like their braincells, the evidence to prove such, was also nonexistent.

But this Timothy Jonas character, has a troubling predisposition to making statements, without supporting evidence. For an interview was his engagement, when paused he did, to label a group, APNU+AFC supporters. As a result, the interviewer asked of him, to provide evidence to support his claim, which saw the legal lackey ending the interview post haste.

Goading Glenn
Then there is Glenn Lall, one of more monies than braincells, thus banned from the competitive lane of scholars. Nevertheless, in that lane he ventured, publishing an article, on a Black gentleman who bought land in Georgetown, that was bigger than Georgetown itself. However, sympathies he had, recognising to mitigate his cognitive limitations, likely contributed to his irrationality far exceeds rationality. Thus, a struggle it would’ve been, to appreciate a fraction could never be greater than the whole. A subset could never be greater than the set. A slice of cake could never be greater than the cake itself.

But with elections imminent, Glenn Lall was of ulterior motives, positioning a clandestine Haitian-O-meter at CJIA, registering Haitians heads entering. And with daily numbers registered, published he did, to stir racist fear, APNU+AFC was importing Haitians to rig the elections. Nevertheless, his inference was brainlessly comical as Freddie Kissoon’s academic claims, considering evidence was Su absent. However, being cognitively well endowed, this guidance was his to own, next time ascertain the Haitians haven’t departed illegally, before making yourself a bumbling buffoon.

Then literally on a daily basis, he published articles on only African oil economies, he characterised as mismanaged. For the implication was unambiguous, Black leaders can’t manage oil economies, inferring APNU+AFC will mismanage our oil economy, if elected. But such analysis and conclusions were toddler level at best, since with a predetermined opinion, he only sought biased evidence to support same.

Sanctimonious Shalimar 
Thus, the CCJ we explore, in the unfortunate case of Neesa Gopaul, who was murdered by her mother, with allegations of her stepfather’s involvement. However, with the CCJ invoked, meant DPP Shalimar Ali-Hack represented the State, testifying that Neesa Gopaul body was submerged with a dumbbell, property of her stepfather. Thus, she proffered, the stepfather being a weightlifter, cemented his guilt of carrying the incriminating dumbbell, to submerge the body. In other words, the stepfather is the only person in world, capable of lifting that Herculean dumbbell.

Thereafter, her argument transitioned emotive, testifying that Neesa was a smart girl, can’t say the same for her, who was brutally murdered. Further, she argued, “This was a very serious case. It concerned a mother betraying her [daughter’s] trust with her lover killing… The daughter was sexually molested by that lover and later suffered a brutal murder…”

Thus, once again, personal opinion conflated with established fact. For there was no DNA. No evidentiary CCTV. No independent witness. Absolutely nothing but a clueless Shalimar Ali-Hack. For as abhorrent sexual molestation is, it doesn’t prove murder.

Caustic conclusion
Therefore the conclusion, many of red are unable to make the distinction between personal opinions and established facts. Where temptation was to remind, personal opinion isn’t established fact, but disregarded they likely would’ve.Thus, silence remain the posture, confident in the knowledge, this column will continue to name and shame those of personal opinion, conflated with established fact.
