I grew up hearing about the violence of the sixties. Like any little kid, you digest what the elder ones say around you. When I became a teenager, these things I digested didn’t make sense to me. I entered UG and started to immerse myself in different perspectives on my country’s history. I rejected many of the things I heard around my home when I was a little boy.


Here are three examples that were not only illogical, but extremely weird.

I was told that the ‘Son Chapman’ boat that blew up and killed over forty African Guyanese was the work of the PNC cadres who were taking bombs to Mackenzie. My research informed me that the ‘Son Chapman’ was a manifestation of tit-for-tat between the Indian PPP and the African PNC.Prior to the destruction of the ‘Son Chapman’, Indians were badly beaten in the riots at Mackenzie. Indian women were raped, men killed and homes destroyed. It seems the bombing of the ‘Son Chapman’ was a revenge act.


Secondly, I was indoctrinated to believe that the arson that killed Arthur Abraham – the Permanent Secretary of Premier Cheddi Jagan – and seven of his nine children, was the work of The United Force, that was making bombs at Abraham’s home. My research led me to think that Abraham was targeted for alleged secrets he passed on to The United Force, of which his daughter was a big leader.


Finally, the editor, Peter Taylor, of a popular newspaper, the Argosy, that was a thorn in the side of Premier Jagan, was almost assassinated at his home. I grew up hearing that was done to blame the PPP Government. It didn’t make sense for any opposition party to kill a nationally effective anti-government editor that was one of their main vehicles. I eventually got to know who were the two men sent to kill Taylor, and who was the female in the PPP leadership that sent them. One of the two men was a close relative of mine.


All three explanations offered to me when I was growing up were nonsense. In the sixties, the PPP leaders were committing acts of violence against PNC targets, the PNC leaders were committing acts of violence against government personnel and PPP cadres. There was no complex situation to tax your brain. It was as simple as that. Maybe if I had remained a nonentity in Wortmanville without any education at all (I left school at the primary level and never saw a high school door) I still would have believed that indoctrination of an all-embracing, angelic PPP.


I got to know more about the PPP as I continued at UG and became active with the WPA, and as I got to know Dr. Jagan, Mrs. Jagan and other PPP leaders. I never thought in my years from thereon (as a UG student onwards) that the PPP as a party and its leaders were a respectable, principled, humane outfit. I lived to see the PPP hold power in Guyana for twenty-three years, and it was a frightening moment in my life. I almost lost my life twice, was hunted out of my UG job, and my wife was victimized.


The victimization of my wife at her GO-Invest job (the new APNU+AFC administration should have reinstated her, but more on that later) is an evil I will never forget or forgive the PPP for. I saw the violent nature of the PPP leaders in those twenty-three years, and I knew those myths about it being innocent victims of PNC’s violence were appalling, sickening fictions.
The PPP is a violent party. It cannot reform and will not reform. It is in my opinion, an irredeemable animal.


The treatment the President received two weeks ago when he addressed Parliament came as no surprise to me. The violent action that greeted the police as they moved to escort Juan Edghill out of the House did not surprise me. The PPP was violent when it was in power; it will remain violent even now that it is out of power. I sincerely believe that the PPP will oppose the government through acts of violence. It will happen. It happened throughout the reign of Forbes Burnham when sugar estates were constantly torched.


What Edghill did, and what the PPP Parliamentarians did was merely acting out the nature of the beast. I saw video clips with PPP parliamentarians hitting policemen. If the State does not confront those violent acts and charge those two parliamentarians, then worse is yet to come.

Djanjo , regarding your headline, please answer the following questions .

1.Have you suffer or experience violence under  the PPP government .

2. If you left guyana before PPP get into government , have you experience or witness violence while PPP was in the opposition .

3. Have you experience violence living under the PNC government .

The PNC has always been violent, Their many acts against the PPP, WPA and all who oppose them knows no limits. It is well documented that in and out of Power the PNC has been violent all along. The use of the House of Israel thugs, GDf. GPF and many other arms of the state. So for Freddie to come and say that the PPP is violent is to be totally blind because of his hatred for the PPP. I wonder what kind of academic is Freddie Kissoon. Freddie is always forgetting what the Army did to him at Camp Ayanganna but have selected memory.

Freddie needs to do some more researching. No reasonable person would think of the PPP when considering party violence in Guyana. Maybe that feces is still affecting his ability to think properly.

Thank for your response . However , being the messenger of a man who’s creditability is in question, it is expect you will share your views after posting his article  unless you are in agreement  with him which I believe .

Freddie is a sick man.  He concocts crap to throw at the PPP. It's no wonder some real crap boomeranged directly into his face.  Keep lying. Your lies will only fool a few stupid people. We have a lot of stupid Indians who believe fictitious things.  That's one of the problems Indians have as a whole. We need to educate ourselves so that we are not fooled and misled by people who don't have our interests at heart. We must search for the real truth and one way of aiding that is to first educate ourselves.  We don't need pseudo-academics like Freddie Kissoon to feed our minds with filth that corrupt our minds. We need more people to write and express their opinions on current affairs. For too long most of columnists have been political hacks whose minds have been tainted with hate, racism, and backwardness.

Good morning Django, what are you up to again this morning ? You prappa like to dig up trouble or you chul chul ? Which one ?

Do you blame him? He is afraid he might get a booster dose.

Django gets a high out of posting the most anti-PPP articles on this forum with the sole objective of helping the insecure PNC. He relishes every second of daubing dirt at the party with political viewpoints that bashes the party no matter how absurd. A fair-minded Guyanese would not give credence to any viewpoints that is riddled with malice and lies about any individual or political party, but Django job requires him to do so. 

How does an Indian fit in with the PNC?  If you are keen at observing Indians who support the PNC you cannot help but observe a trend among them - the inculcate in themselves all the racist charges you can ever imagined coming out of Congress Place and thrown at the PPP. They devoted themselves to memorizing loads of old and new propaganda that justifies fraud, economic disaster, and vile racism against other groups. What they cannot deny they are trained to justify with lies emanating from Congress Place. Django is at the dept of this vileness and he, like Freddie, is spewing out dirt like an active volcano spewing out lava.

"In the sixties, the PPP leaders were committing acts of violence against PNC targets, the PNC leaders were committing acts of violence against government personnel and PPP cadres. There was no complex situation to tax your brain. It was as simple as that."

On point Freddie.

Freddie thinks he has all the answers to Guyana's race problems. I wonder why he is afraid to run for public office and resolve this curse.

Freddie is another liar, he studied in Canada and never wrote and defended his paper, but returned to Guyana and say he has a PhD. He hated the PPP because they investigated his qualifications and found he lied. he was fired from UG.

In addition, Abraham's daughter Anne, who was a UF activist, was charged for sedition by the PPP government after she disclosed payments that were being sent to the PPP by the Soviets. She was working at Barclay's Bank and discovered money being sent to the PPP by the Russians. Their family paid a heavy price for defying the PPP.

Dummy, are you denying that there was violence on both sides during the Sixties?

Mars

Billy and Skelly.

I don't get high or boost posting articles on GNI,check all the articles i have posted today,you will notice they aren't one sided.

As for the PPP i don't hate the party,i don't like the direction the party is heading under current leadership.The same goes for the PNC.I had some confidence Granger will bring about change and unify the nation.The current corruption and utterances by one of the Minister have made my hand fall.

I have voted twice in Guyana and the votes were for the PPP and GAWU to represent the Sugar workers.

For that matter i don't hate any ethnicity,i get along well with everyone.I see each of us as humans.I always lend a helping hand when ever i see some one needs help..

This is a lot of crock from Freddie...yes there was violence on both sides.

But if the PPP were a violent party, they would not have let the Kabaka rule for 28 years...especially it being a Marxist Revolutionary party that wages revolution to remove a government and being admirers of Fidel Castro and Che Guevarra. PPP leaders are *****cats when it comes to comparing violence on both sides....incidentally Indians seem to be more violent when they deal with other Indians, not Africans...

Burnham was a violent man but he knew how to add finess to it so he did not come off as a traditional dictator...remember Rodney, Teekah and the Rabbi.

Vish,

Don't think there were no East Indian underground groups that had intentions to over throw Burnham.There were a few.Burnham was a smart fella he had undercover Secret Police Group one of my friends brother an East Indian was affiliated.

I was not easy to overthrow Burnham,one of the reasons he choose the Chief of Staff.

How can you people say the PPP are not violent and yet relish the thought of one of theirs tossing faeces on another person?

The PPP apologists just cannot accept the fact the PPP were just as violent as the PNC. Freddie has spoken out against everyone at one time or the other but when he does speak against the PPP, the PPPites get annoyed because as we know, the truth hurts.

In every country has a group that wants to over throw a elected government . 

The BIG question you running from is ..

where is the evidence that PPP was a violent party .

FM

Anyone need any more evidence. PNC murdered anyone who dare to stand up to election rigging:

Unknown

Granger was an integral part of Burnham's Rigging Machinery. He was a part of the Military when these Brave Berbicians were murdered.

After three years Granger fail to unite the nation , In fact he drive wedges between his party and AFC by ignoring the AFC recommendation for a gecom Rep . 

He is firing Indians and hiring retire Blackman . Wouldn’t you agree to this .
