During those painful days of Burnham's rule Guyanese were bombarded with PNC propaganda through the ruling party's newspaper, the New Nation. The New Nation, dubbed the organ of the PNC, was blistering the public with news of prosperity and happy citizens while the nation was starving and  every industry was in decline execept the industry of crime. There was one section of the New Nation devoted to showing prospering farmers in the government cooperative sectors. That section was shamelessly called "Good Living".  Pictures of smiling farmers with tools in their hands working to build the nation that was supposedly belongs to We. Interviews with these farmers were always about the unending  gratitude to the comrade leader, LFS Burnham. Workers and farmers would expressed thanks to the leader and praise his brilliant mind and political acumen for building a Guyana where all will be housed, clothed, and fed by the government of Guyana. There was no report of dissension or bad economic news. According the New Nation, Guyana, under Burnham was a socialist utopia.

 

One of the men who was running this propaganda machine for the PNC was Adam Harris who is now the editor of the Kaiteur News. Adam Harris was one of the big wigs with the infamous regime who enjoyed a comfortable life. These men instilled fear in the minds of the public and even those in the security forces. One can be fired from their job or be quickly arrested without a probable cause if a man Adam is angry with you.

 

Fast forward to the PNC's era to the PPP's era. The nation went through trying times and survived. Thanks to many brave citizens from academics to ordinary folks as well as political activists from the WPA and the PPP. International support would play a crucial role in removing the PNC regime from power.  During the last twenty years of free government in Guyana there has been a proliferation of voices in the society through various medium such as radio, TV, and newspapers. Some express opposing views to government policies and some supports government policies. One of the Newspapers that has been in the limelight recently has been the Kaieteur News which is owned by a private citizen name Glen Lall.  This newspaper started out really well expressing the viewpoints of ordinary folks about problems people face daily. However, recently this paper has been taken over by former propagandists from Burnham's New Nation Adam Harris has become its editor and many others are operating behind the scenes publishing all sorts in lies an misinformation to mislead the public . These propagandists are very clever and have been able to deceived a significant amount oft he people.

The lies and slanders coming out of the KN newspaper today have led people to calling it Knew Nation.  It is not a misnomer to call the KN Knew Nation since it views are that of the former New Nation and it is now controlled by propagandist from the old New Nation.

Two simple observations:

[1] QUOTE: "Pictures of smiling farmers with tools in their hands working to build the nation that was supposedly belongs to We. Interviews with these farmers were always about the unending  gratitude to the comrade leader, LFS Burnham. Workers and farmers would expressed thanks to the leader and praise his brilliant mind and political acumen for building a Guyana where all will be housed, clothed, and fed by the government of Guyana. There was no report of dissension or bad economic news. According the New Nation, Guyana, under Burnham was a socialist utopia."

OBSERVATION: Many of those farmers in the New Nation photos were East Indians. They were not fighting against the PNC. In fact, they used to keep a distance from PPP activists like myself.

[2] QUOTE: "One of the men who was running this propaganda machine for the PNC was Adam Harris who is now the editor of the Kaiteur News. Adam Harris was one of the big wigs with the infamous regime who enjoyed a comfortable life. These men instilled fear in the minds of the public and even those in the security forces. One can be fired from their job or be quickly arrested without a probable cause if a man Adam is angry with you."

OBSERVATION: In 1980, as a freelance journalist I visited the Ministry of Trade to interview Permanent Secretary Stanley Whyte about the sharp decline of new imported cars. In his arrogance, White refused to give me an interview and told me to put my questions to the Government Information Service [GIS] at the Ministry of Information. I went to the GIS and there I met Adam Harris for the first time. I explained my problem with Stanley Whyte. Adam was sympathetic and helpful. First he told me: "Who the f@#$ Whyte thinks he is? He must give you that interview."

Adam picked up his phone and spoke with Whyte in a calm and comradely way. Then he said: "Go back to him at 2 o'clock. He will talk to you. Anytime you get problems from these people, let me know." Needless to say, when I went back, Whyte was smiling, made me feel comfortable, and gave me information on the importation of 300 new Lada cars and relevant matters.

Since that time, Adam and I always enjoyed a respectful professional relationship. Adam in time found out that I was a PPP man but that didn't change our connection. And I know that then senior Mirror journalist Moses Nagamootoo was on friendlier terms with Adam Harris. He's a nice guy, always was.

The chronicle is a propagandist tool so even if KN is as you would want to cast it ( and it is not) then it matters not. After all, is the stabroeknews to be labeled similarly as KN?

Billy, it's evident what's nice to me is not nice to you.

Not because someone didn't speak out against the PNC regime it means that person couldn't be nice. 

In my book, my political adversaries can be just as nice as my friends.
