Miasmic substance – fact and fiction

NO civilised person would condone what happened to Freddie Kissoon. No one should. I doubt anyone would in the future. This much we know.The Government of Guyana and NCN have unreservedly condemned the violation of Kissoon. The Kaieteur News columnist however will have none of it. He continues to make wild statements about what happened. Without any evidence whatsoever, Kissoon is on the record stating that he was violated because of an article he wrote concerning the Ramsaroop taping case. Nothing could be further from the truth. Freddie Kissoon has been criticizing the PPP government three hundred and sixty five days a year for close to a decade now without any hint of retribution. The suggestion that he was violated because of an article is, therefore, sheer bunk.
Freddie Kissoon is also accusing NCN of various things, including knowing the attacker, and having advanced knowledge of the incident. This is also sheer bunk. The fact of the matter is that Kaieteur News reporters, along with the publisher, were also on the scene at about the same time as NCN. If you follow Kisson’s logic, one can therefore suggest that Glen Lall may also have had advanced knowledge of the incident. How preposterous can this thing get?
Many people are saying that Freddie Kissoon desperately wants to be a Guyanese hero and that he would go to any extent to make that happen.
The ‘miasmic substance’ incident seems to bolster that argument. The proof lies in the fact that the Kaieteur News headline the day after the incident was all about Freddie Kissoon. The historic general election in Trinidad and Tobago was considered third class news compared to the miasmic substance matter. The said headline screamed out that Freddie had been attacked for the second time. This was meant to give the impression that Freddie is a target of political machinations.
But those who know this game are not convinced. The first time Freddie was attacked was a matter of robbery. He was simply robbed. He tried to make it out to be something else, something political. Sheer bunk again. His account of the first incident has changed a few times.
Freddie Kissoon should pursue the miasmic substance matter through the right channels, in this case the police. This is not the time or occasion to become a hero. No one buys it Freddie. Many feel sorry for what happened but they won’t be duped by your efforts to politicise the substance of the case. Facts, not fiction, should bring this matter to a resolution. The attacker must be found and dealt with according to law.
