His Excellency’s “troubles”- and when Roger returns

Two terse introductory points up front: because I don’t –and suspect can’t- write every day, a Selwyn Persaud (KN Sat. 17, Feb ‘18) beat me to it since last Saturday. Secondly, I admired how his Excellency, not-so-subtly, promoted his christening of the 2002-2008 crime wave period as “the troubles”, whilst speaking to the Police Officers last week. Beautiful element of the art of the propagandistic naming of things and events. His Excellency is a master! (Soon you’ll hear the officers parroting “troubles” –as I’m doing now).

My concern, as stated herein before is that the numerous “troublous” Inquiries might easily become characterised as strategic mechanisms by the Granger Administration to decimate the political opposition who comprised the government during the rampage period of His Excellency’s “troubles”. Recall what current PNC Chairman and the then Opposition claimed when the Ramotar/Jagdeo folks held their pre-2015 election inquisition into Walter Rodney’s assassination.
