Desperately trying to give the families of Lindo Creek a plausible answer

Dear Editor,
The People who were killed at Lusignan, East Coast Demerara, were “just a bunch a coolies” – no derogatory, demeaning or racial profiling meant here – but to establish a salient point.
My reason for making that blunt statement is to reveal the malice shown by their supporters when they openly speak about the killings at Lusignan, in this regard, I would like the editor to so publish. The higher echelons of the People’s National Congress (PNC) would want to deny these assertions however; the facts at the grassroots level undermine their denial claims.
Their own kind is never careful, nor can they understand, what serious consequences these racially divisive and highly toxic remarks can have on the fragile social harmony that we have in this country. So my advice to The PNC is to rein-in their most vocal and unruly supporters.
So, the general notion is, to the families of the Lusignan slaughter show no compassion, while to the families of the predominantly black Lindo Creek slayings, offer plausible comfort.
Interesting! And interesting it is, because the widely touted rumour that the Joint Services, under specific instructions from Jagdeo, carried out those killings, is proven to be a nasty lie as testimony after testimony at the hearings has repeatedly shown.
It is quite clear now that this Commission of Inquiry (CoI) was given a specific mandate; that is, to substantiate a rumour, therefore snoop around for any information that would prop up that theory. But at every turn so far, they are coming up empty handed.
On the other hand, all testimonies point to the fact that Lindo Creek was the brutal reality of the “Fine Man Freedom Fighters” – a murderous gang who were aided and abetted by “Opposition elements.”
How did the Rondel “Fine Man” Rawlins gang get their camouflage gear? Where did they get their supplies of arms and ammunition? Who furnished this murderous horde with pertinent information about Joint Services whereabouts?  These naked facts the PNC would never want the families to know.
They would rather keep them in the dark for as long as they possibly can. Further to our discussion is the fact that when one of the members of The “Fine Man” gang was recaptured, there was the subsequent killing of “Sagga.”
A point of note, “Sagga’s” murder came in quick succession to “Smallie’s” capture – he too paid the ultimate price for “snitching.” Here again is damning evidence that disputes the CoI’s claims. Why did “Sagga” have to die? Questions and more questions!
Could the families of the Lindo Creek Massacre get the message that they are being used by this Administration? Why can’t they get the message that they are being taken for a merry ride? The sympathetic Judases are at work in an eddying media circus?
When President Granger said he would like to know the “intellectual authors” behind these killings, this was a subtle way in saying the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Administration ordered the killings. He was saying that the PPP Government under Jagdeo was responsible.
So why flog a dead horse when the information so far clears the former Government and Joint Services of such wrongdoings? Why don’t they do the honourable thing and admit their fault, say that their dearly beloved Rondel Rawlins did it and move on.
So, the charade continues with a CoI that is hard pressed to find an elusive cause, go visit the scene of the murders, show Commissioner Trotman and family members all teary eyed in emotional display.
Ironically, the inquiry team fail to realise that with that cheap political stunt, they had given themselves away. If an 80-year-old man could have made that trip with relative ease, why couldn’t “Fine Man” a bushman who knows the terrain do the same? Very damning evidence indeed!
In closing, the Lindo Creek – Lusignan Massacres are intricately woven into each other, one cannot be upheld as murder while the other discarded as sheer coincidence, both are of equal importance and should be given the respect, the truthfulness, as well as the judicial review that they rightfully deserve. The present partisan, political masquerade cannot hide this fact; it only exposes it.

Respectfully,
Neil Adams
