Randy Persaud did not repudiate or contest my contentions

Dear Editor,
Knowing Dr. Randy Persaud to be a paid propagandist of the Government operating under the nomenclature of Presidential Advisor, I do not pay his letters any heed. However, his letter of December 31 attracted my attention, since it is an attempt to respond to, and nullify, if not vilify, a letter written by me and published on Dec. 30, 2023 under the title: “Spouting the rule of law and good governance but observing them in the breach”.
The goodly doctor’s letter is as vacuous as can be. While accusing me of “inaccuracies” and “half-truths”, he fails to identify any inaccuracy or half-truth. Rather, he seeks to place me in a cocoon, the PNC, by stating, “Mr. Alexander’s party was happy with the passage of that Bill”, and on that basis describes my letter as being “At best, …disingenuous”. That is but an attempt to distract the readers from the essence of my letter.
It matters not what was the APNU’s position on the bill, my contentions are grounded, factual and beyond repudiation. In fact, Persaud does not even attempt to repudiate or contest my contentions.
In similar manner, he seeks to distract the attention of readers from GECOM’s corrupted employment practices and consequential installation of two persons to the highest administrative offices at GECOM by referring to “the extrajudicial October 19, 2017 unilateral appointment of Justice James Patterson as Chair of GECOM”.
Where, in the name of heavens, does one wrongdoing justify another? Not to mention that Patterson was removed from office, while those GECOM officers are in situ and are largely responsible for conducting one of the exercises that constitute the kernel of our proclaimed democracy. It’s like putting the ‘cat to guard the milk’.
As for his snide comment on my warning that we are at the ‘cusp’ of fascism, here is a definition of fascism: “a way of organizing a society in which a government ruled by a dictator controls the lives of the people and in which people are not allowed to disagree with the government.”(https://www.britannica.com>fascism).

Yours sincerely,
Vincent Alexander
