If there is a Guyanese out there who was surprised at Roger Luncheon’s statement of support for Jagdeo’s Babu Jaan racist allegations, then that person is mentally challenged.
If there is a Guyanese who was surprised that Rohee said he didn’t see the hanging effigies of Granger and Nagamootoo in Anna Regina so he cannot comment, then that person is foolish. If there is a Guyanese out there that was surprised at what Bheri Ramsaran said to Sherlina Nageer, then that person doesn’t live in the real world.
These absurdities are not deliberately planned as what most people would believe. They are the natural outcome of irrational minds of an organization’s leadership so saturated with naked power that normal thinking has been lost long ago.
I need to explain what is meant by the words, “not deliberately planned.” To the average person, Rohee, Luncheon and others know full well what they are saying, planned to say it, and see it as part of their strategies. This may be so in politicians who are new to the competitive arena, but not authoritarian oligarchs who have been in power for so long that they have lost all sense of reality.
Words that have no meaning and thoughts that are uncontrollable just fly out the minds of oligarchs who have been in power for so long and burdened by long incumbency. One look at Roger Luncheon and you see how the years of unbridled power have taken their years on his thinking. One look at Rohee and you see a person completely divorced from reality. One look at Ramotar and you see the manifestations of a person who is not connected to the realities of his country.
Then there is Jagdeo. If the irrational mind cannot comprehend the logical and the normal, then Jagdeo is the largest example of such a political tragedy. The sum total of all of these macabre directions is that general elections are never won when such insanities dominate the halls of power.
Even the most commonsensical reaction to the most bizarre occurrence is met with an irrational output by an aging PPP leadership that exists on another planet. This is the year 2015, where poor people who don’t have a computer or a smartphone know that you can see what is going on in the world without having to read about it in the newspapers.
Right now as this column is being typed, hundreds of millions of people around the globe, on the train, at their workplace, in the homes, on the roads, are reading on their computers or on their phones about the world and what is happening inside of it and in their own countries. The exception to this is Clement Rohee.
Mr. Rohee told reporters that he didn’t see the hanging effigies of Messrs Granger and Nagamootoo, and the only way he can comment on it is if “you put in the newspapers.”
You may laugh at Mr. Rohee for saying that, but it is a sad, sad situation in Guyana in the year 2015. This man’s colleague, Robert Persaud owns an internet news service. This man’s own party issued a statement, years ago, accusing an internet news service, Demerara Waves, of public mischief. Yet this man will not comment on anything unless he sees it in the newspapers. This man is a Cabinet member with the portfolio for internal security, yet for him the world only exists in the print media.
But do you think he was being deliberately silly? He was not. These are the expected reactions of the irrational mind burdened with unrestrained power for over two decades. Rohee’s colleague Ramsaran has apologized to Ms. Nageer, but do you think such behaviour will stop? It cannot, because the PPP has lost a victim of reality.
Yesterday it was Manickchand with her Sityra Gyaal histrionics. Then it was Harper and her billion-dollar accusation against the opposition. It was Nandlall and his Kaieteur News mayhem. Now it is Rohee, Luncheon and Bheri Ramsaran.
Listen to the man that is throwing Guyanese bright future away
