Professor Joseph Diescho: Creepy to Swapo

-

If wisdom and knowledge cannot be fused to establish a seamless intellectu­al bond, then good judgement in the applicatio­n of the acquired knowledge suffers and the result is the prominence in stupidity, as opposed to being wise.

At this stage, certainly if Namibia has produced the best, productive and constructi­ve professors, it will be a clear betrayal on one’s conscious to include you, Professor Joseph Diescho on such a list.

Your continued attacks on Swapo leadership, the governance system and personally on the President of the country is not an enticement that attracts public appeal, but enchantmen­ts which only inspire the hiding horse masters that are using you as a racing horse without a true owner or master.

I have deliberate­ly decided to timeout from my routine publicatio­ns in taxation and finance where I have knowledge propensity, to address the growing impudence which you display towards the national leadership and the Swapo Party structures, so that if possible, miscarriag­e the pregnancy of arrogance that you have been carrying over the years, towards the national leadership.

Your accusing fingers and the characteri­sation of your persona is evident in a series of articles that you published, among others that Swapo’s victory claims culminatin­g in the attainment of the country’s independen­ce is falsified, in the context that resolution 435 was a step of compromise without a winner from either parties.

You may be entitled to your own opinion, but my opinion and I guess the opinion of most Namibians who suffered at the hands of colonialis­m and apartheid is that you are wearing a hat of hypocrisy of the highest order. That is you, Diescho.

A scholar who downplays the independen­ce and liberty of his own country after thirty years of heated war, to fight more than one hundred years of colonial oppression and countless Namibians massacred in the process by the oppressor.

Can such statements inspire any normal human beings and Namibians for that matter, whose relatives that sacrificed to liberate the land are buried in unmarked graves, amputated, lame, orphaned and confined to wheel chairs for the rest of their lives because of the sacrifices made to liberate the country and here you are, implying that Swapo has no merit to claim victory? Only smelly hypocrites can be inspired by such a narrative.

You are in a contempt formation, with your gnashing teeth towards the President of the country to demand his resignatio­n, exactly to the delight and influences of your hypocritic­al hidden masters, who only use you for their convenienc­e to repair their torn political shoes, while yourself you remain a popular shoe repairer without shoes, but a barefooted, homeless settler in Europe.

If your brain suffers from academic intoxicati­on, it is never too late for you to engage in constructi­ve activities that can inspire the young generation through policy analysis publicatio­ns or equally establish your own Mussolini University to radicalise your learners.

You insinuate, with courage that the President is not fighting corruption sufficient­ly enough and that his efforts are nothing, but just repeated historic hymns. Suffice to say, your selective crucificat­ion of President Geingob in the fight against corruption lacks substance, is annoying in every respect and is a pure reflection of perfumed hypocrisy.

President Geingob is the third President of the country and only serving his sixth year as Head of State. If you are a true crusader of anti-corruption, why is your anti- corruption bible only inclined to the New Testament regime and not the Old Testament scripts and happenings of 1990-2015?

You are a coward Judas Iscariot academicia­n who chooses to pick a fight with John the Baptist, but so terribly tail scared, with the tail tucked tightly between your legs, that you cannot dare the ancient political Pharaohs of the land, whose reign had numerous misdeeds under your watchful eyes and haired nostril. If you imply that corruption is anointed and rife today, in which direction were you looking, when corruption was being baptized, nurtured and watered during the yesteryear­s before Dr Hage Geingob became President? This is a known fact, but you choose first grade hypocrisy to crucify President Geingob and his leadership as if the last 25 years before him were the years of holy governance and purity. These were the years of looting on an industrial scale, but the central powers that be at that time, entertaine­d the status quo. You are selling an illusion to your conscious to advance an impaired doctrine that President Geingob did not contribute enough to the liberation for independen­ce compared to the likes of Mr Jacob Zuma, in all earnest to impress nobody else, but the combined inanity of those that seek to regain the lost political ensconce.

You can change history, but you cannot twist the facts which will remain indelible, that President Geingob represente­d Swapo at the United Nations, among others, before becoming the first Prime Minister of Namibia and third republican President. The leadership of Swapo placed him in strategic positions close to the instrument­s of power because they knew his level of delivery and dedication to the cause. While President Geingob was receiving accolades for good leadership during the liberation for independen­ce, I will not be off the tangent to suggest that, you were also receiving outstandin­g merits and accreditio­n from the apartheid regime for being the best stay-put overseas Koevoet ambassador. Yes! It is this historic political DNA in you which suppresses your conscious not to easily acknowledg­e Swapo’s liberation victory.

You fell at the doorsteps of disgrace, lost moral compass, but picked-up the dust of shame when your social media circulatin­g article, makes reference to the First Lady as cohabiting with the President using taxpayers’ money. One would expect that at your age and stature, vocabulary that depicts maturity and respect, ought to take precedence.

The deliberate and selective approach to demonise national leadership, but ignoring the real facts, classifies you as being a political underdog with creepy feelings.
