Dear Editor
IT appears that the next stage of the PPP’s propaganda machine is to spread fear among the supporters of the APNU+AFC. Many mouthpieces and supporters of the PPP have posited theoretical implications of international sanctions based on the faulty assumptions that the PPP losing the election is tantamount to an “undemocratic government” Ho.w ironical for the PPP to suddenly become the experts in “democracy”, when back in 1997, the PPP was accused of unlawfully declaring Janet Jagan President, and there was no legal recourse to challenge the elections.
Firstly, it is the PPP and their supporters who are adamant on pressuring the world superpowers to enforce economic sanctions on the Guyanese economy. The PPP is justifying this by using tainted and unauthorised election “results” via Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and Mercury Public Affairs. This is another irony because the PPP has accused Mr. Clairmont Mingo of electoral impropriety for allegedly using Excel, yet the PPP has been using an Excel spreadsheet with bogus election results as a benchmark to declare themselves the winners of the elections contrary to the laws regarding GECOM.
Furthermore, the PPP is using a scorched- earth policy akin to the proverb, “If I can’t have it no one else will”. This is a hallmark of greed and thus, contrary to the principles of democracy. I am no expert in psychology, but there seems to be something terribly wrong with the mindsets of the PPP and their supporters to have such dangerous sentiments. Their greed and lust to grab the oil reserves are making them depraved in their minds. The late Mr. Ronald Waddell once declared that the mind of the PPP is so dangerous that they would murder their own family members for greed.
To conclude, the PPP is to blame for their propaganda which will negatively affect every Guyanese and ultimately impair the social, political and economic progress of the country. So much for being the ambassadors of “democracy”. The PPP are acting like psychotic bullies.
