Jagan, D’Aguiar, Tony Vieira and bitter/sweet ironies
Jun 06, 2009Features / Columnists, Freddie Kissoon
Bitter ironies make life interesting. I guess once there is modern society, irony will exist. Shakespeare, I believe, was the person who actually popularised the term (I didn’t do any research to ascertain if that is true).
There are plenty of bitter ironies in Guyana. The trouble with Guyana, is that so much political confusion exists, that sharp paradoxes tend to make you laugh rather than get you mad. I like the one where Kit Nascimento ended being a consultant three years ago for the PPP Government whose leading lights, up to this day, are proud to say that they are Marxist.
Those not familiar with this angle should know that Mr. Nascimento was an avowed anti-communist crusader against the Marxist regime of Dr. Jagan in the first half of the sixties.
I hope Mr. Nascimento does not take this the wrong way. There is now an ongoing revisionist journey in Guyanese history that would release both Mr. Nascimento and Mr. Peter D’Aguiar from the infamy that PPP propagandists once assigned them.

For Mr. Nascimento's benefit, I will let him know that to keep the vultures from the gate, my articles are checked daily by one of four lawyers on a rotational basis. My lawyer specifically asked me if I want to use the word, "relative of Mr. d'Aguiar" or "related to Mr. d'Aguiar."
I chose the latter because I told him to be related or connected to someone is vastly different to saying that someone is a relative. If Mr. Nascimento wants to interpret my words his way, that is his business. I never said that a relative of Peter d'Aguiar killed people in the sixties. But this I can tell Mr. Nascimento; dozens of people related to Mr. D' Aguiar committed acts of violence including murder in t
