First CONVERSATION

CONVERSATION:

This commentary is for every Guyanese.

But, written to sway the minds of the East Indian voters on the Corentyne.

Vote APNU+AFC.

An amazing power, the single vote.

In the case of my country, it is easily bought and lied for. Also, intimidation and cuss-out is hurled for it. And, character assassination has become part and parcel of the process.

When everything is said and done. All of Guyana awaits. The powerful are humbled.

For the voters on the Corentyne. That much might your single vote has. Only until you have cast it. Then, it is no longer yours. You have given it to one another in confidence.

Hoping for a better way of life. 

This election, please choose the APNU+AFC.

Give them your confidence.

You have been constantly reminded of the PNC, its policy of banned food items, the rigged elections and the criminality of that time.

Yes, it was a terrible time. But, the PPP has done much worse in their 23 years of government.

Please consider.

Control of the PPP under the Jagans, witnessed two democratically elected leaders of the PNC. Each have tried in small ways to recognize the East Indian community.  Forbes legislated religious days as public holidays. And Desmond Hoyte, he removed restrictions on banned food items. You on the Corentyne were amazed as to how the bandits were chased and hunted down during the time of Hoyte.

And the rigged elections-can you imagine how much Hoyte must have been hated in PNC by the members. To give up their power. Knowing free and fair elections could remove the PNC from a government. The PNC could have said no to free and fair elections as demanded by the American Government. Face the consequences as Cuba and endure hardships-everyone, East Indians, Afro, Amerinds and all the other citizens.

But, Desmond Hoyte choose to seek a new path. He hoped, you would give him your vote. You did not.

Now, today. Another democratically elected leader of the PNC has stretched out his hand in peace. He has given 12 seats of his supporters to the AFC. That might not have been easy for Mr. Granger to convince the PNC to do. But, he did. Our country still needed that new path.   

I ask you to vote for the coalition of the APNU+AFC.

The PPP on the other hand has never had a peaceful transfer of leadership. You judge for yourself. Do you think Ramotar is the leader of the PPP? If you vote PPP, YOU ARE VOTING FOR AN UNCERTAINTY.

The coalition APNU+AFC has a Three Person Committee to investigate all problems that may arise in their administration of a government. That agreement is there for all Guyanese.

In the political life of this country, I have never heard so much racist remarks made by a politician. I am amazed at the words of Bharrat Jagdeo. Not even in the days of the race riots did Forbes Burnham went to such depths. Whether he spared us because of Cheddie Jagan or the confidence of being installed as the Prime Minister of Guyana by the CIA.

With the racist remarks of Bharrat Jagdeo, you should understand why there were rigged elections in Guyana. And for 28years. If the mind of the East Indian is racist, then what are the chances of the Blacks ever getting a fair deal to form a government? Today, you know of the corrupt ways of Bharrat Jagdeo, yet you cling to words of divisions. No one in that cabal would object to his abuses.

You will breathe the air, used the same transportation, bear the brunt of the criminals as the citizens of the country. Jagdeo/Ramotar Clique will never endure those things because your votes would have provided well for them. Armed guards from bandits and private transportation. The charmed life.

And you, will have to manage your sufferings just as other Guyanese-Blacks and Amerinds alike.

Give your situation some serious thinking.

There was a time, when your votes counted as the majority. Since 1992, your numbers have been getting smaller and smaller. And less and less of you vote at each of the elections held so far.  

The time is upon you. Use your God given senses and examine the role you should be playing in the society of Guyanese. Let your votes be for Freedom, Honesty and Justice.

This election vote APNU+AFC.

Free yourselves from Ramotar/Jagdeo Clique and re-take the Peoples Progressive Party. Rid the party of the devious. Throw them out by voting APNU+AFC.

You are no longer the majority in the electorate, so position your votes that gives you a participating edge.

Back in 1953, the East Indian vote went to the Jagans. And they pursued Communism with your confidence. It brought the wrought of the Americans-their disapproval of Communism in this hemisphere. Even though Janet Jagan was an American Citizen that did not spare us. The alternative was 28 years of PNC rule, which Bharrat Jagdeo keeps reminding you.

Even though the Americans did that, it is America and Canada the East Indians of that generation desperately sought to send their children. And those children made the years under Forbes light by sending barrels and money back home.

When the Russians were no longer a threat, the Americans returned to Guyana with fair and free elections. President Carter and conscientious Guyanese were the advocators.

For 28 years, the Jagans maintained their communist links. Giving life to 28 years of PNC rule.

President Carter will once again return to Guyana to oversee fair and free election.

Your voting rights is once again under threat. This time from the Cabal of Jagdeo.   

Today, your vote is canvassed to give confidence to the corrupt administration of the Ramotar/Jagdeo Clique. That is dangerous. He incites you to follow his racist attack on Afro-Guyanese. There were only a limited number of Afro associated with the PNC. But, he tells you that all Black people are PNC.

Are those citizen wrong to support the PNC?

Do you not support the PPP and not the PNC?

Your vote must be canvassed for.

It must not be demanded for by fear mongering.

Vote APNU+AFC.

Remove Jagdeo from the Peoples Progressive Party.

JOB CREATION

JOB CREATION:

The internet, perhaps the greatest technology in all of man’s inventions. You-tube makes us aware, instantly.

I was watching a programme on the rice industry. Dr. Doerga made the comment, “I meet Guyanese wherever I travel, very capable of moving Guyana forward.” Something to that effect.

I am reminded of the capabilities of some of the Guyanese that I know. In 1960, I was fortunate to gain a place at the Bookers Apprentice Training Centre. The centre was established in 1957.  Boasted the best in the British Commonwealth. Each year, twenty students are accepted for the training. To date, there, might be 1200 graduates. Many have migrated to Canada and United States. A few went off to England. We have all done well. Many have further their education in Engineering. We provide valuable services to hi-tech industries in North America. We are businessmen and women in North America. We are employers in the Manufacturing Sector. Our Skill and Confidence gives us that competitive edge.

During the mid-60’s, when the sugar factories were modernizing. It was the trainees of the Centre who were forefront in the implementation of the expansion Facilities, Power House and Sugar Making Machinery. It is unbelievable, the Minister of Agriculture would sought the world at large for solutions to the Skeldon Factory. And there it is all along, Guyanese who were trained in the Sugar Industry weren’t even considered. Ignored at all level of the Government of Guyana.

Ramotar/Jagdeo Clique are out of touch with Guyanese. Perhaps, they think, we are all dumb. Thank goodness, they will be no more after May11, 2015.

The SUGAR INDUSTRY has the potential of spin off jobs for at least 300 sustainable high priced employment. The Material Control Department is rift with malpractices.

We must develop our economy to produce-it is the only way forward.

And whatever we already have, must be fine-tuned to create employment for Guyanese.

Guysuco’s Materials Control Department have too many overseas suppliers. Many of the purchased items can be quality produced in Guyana. Reduced cost is one factor in consideration. Guysuco does not have competitive bidding systems. They have a buddy system.  In 1992, Guysuco was saddled with Cronyism-incompetence has brought the company to the brink of disaster to the detriment of thousands of its employees on the Corentyne.

Boasted, as being the only English speaking country in South America, could be an opportunity for Guyana.

There isn’t a nation in the world that does want to buy Chinese products-cheaply made. It seems, consumers do not mind buying the same product over and over again. Because it is cheap. The Chinese re-cycled the waste of Western Countries. Remanufacturing materials for foreign based products.  

The Industrialized World has always sought cheap labour to MANUFACTURE cheap commodities. I am impressed with the Asian countries. As the Western World moved their sourcing from countries to countries. Seeking a cheaper labour force. The Asian countries that lost that business quickly adapted to manufacturing value added products. They built on their experiences. And they sought after the markets in the West.

There was a time, the West thought, the Chinese could only manufacture cheap products. That was proven wrong. The Chinese had built their economy on simply selling to the West. Today, they manufacture just about anything. A country just fifty years ago virtually had no metal making industry. Now has sophisticated systems in place making steel of all sorts and other materials. Unethical practices most times. But they have the materials, skills and the political culture that instill growth.

Those MANUFACTURING Businesses owned by Guyanese in North America are competing everyday against the Chinese. It is not easy. ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURING purchases goes to China, mainly because buyers are driven by prices.

We could tap into that market. We are close to the market. We have trade agreements that seeks to encourage Guyana to grow, economically.

However, ignorance prevails with the people that govern this nation and makes its policies. They doan know, and the people that elects them, doan care to know. They would rather have a lil raise from their families abroad to exist day to day. Believe me, I have tried-humbled by the stupidity I have ran into.

Guyana has a trainable labour force. The opportunities exist. The will to do MANUFACTURING in Guyana is possessed by Guyanese Manufacturers in North America. What is needed, Is a corrupt free import and export system. Because raw materials that comes into the country needs to be processed and sent back out of the country. There has to be a review of taxes, duties and tariffs to facilitate this type of industry. I briefly touched on it. A country that has a great many of its citizen working in the manufacturing sector is a wealthy nation. An example, look at China’s growth since the time of Bill Clinton. Clinton gave China most favoured nation trading status. American businesses went with purchase orders in droves. And never stopped. Eventually China became extremely wealthy and American workers reduced to the poverty level.

Even with China’s success there is dissent in the labour force. China has a large consumer base. And very soon China would service its own markets.

Guyana is strategically placed to benefit. Ramotar/Jagdeo Clique doan have the capacity to take this nation to its HIGHER CALLING.

We are a country full of enthusiasm-thank God for the men and women who really toil to provide for their children. The sectors of farming-rice, vegetable, fruits and other commodities can be enhanced. A Canning Facility on the Corentyne would create employment for the young people. Like Mr.Granger has said, “Happy people don’t commit suicides.” The people on the Corentyne must have a purpose to live and a future to look towards.  Farmers would be guaranteed a peaceful happy demeanor. Because they will not be faced with frustrations by the Cabal of Ramotar/Jagdeo. Drainage and Irrigation you will have. Good roads you will have to transport your yields. A better quality of life you will have. And the success on the Corentyne will be carried to every region in the country. Corentyne will be the Pilot Project.

Research, Development and Marketing will be the focus of this nation. We cannot afford to be complacent. We will die if we do. Since 1950, our life and success were sucked out of us-saddled with vampires who robbed us of vision. Those days are now replaced with dishonesty. Bold and barefaced are the Ramotar, Jagdeo and the adopted children of the Jagans.

THROW DEM OUT.

East Indians assert your rights. Take advantage of the opportunity to vote APNU+AFC. Re-build the Peoples Progressive Party. Rid yourself of the corrupt. They give a bad name to true politicians-these opportunists. They use Cheddie’s name only to favour themselves. Such despicable acts.  

Sugar and Rice will survive as separate products. Combined, to make consumer products aimed at global markets. Everything is possible. It takes the will and know-how to do it.

Quite recently, Indonesia hosted a Furniture Exhibition. Its leader, once a furniture manufacturer himself, has targeted the US$2 billion market in the West. Guyanese logs are going to be sold by the Chinese to Indonesia. Because Indonesia has already depleted its forests.

For the current Government of Guyana, it is much simpler to sell the logs. Value added, is a government initiative. Implementation takes vision. So what the Ramotar/Jagdeo Clique did? They sent Ravi Dev to India. There he told the Hindu Forum, “Come to Guyana with your capital, make money by using the Caribbean Initiative Agreement and at the same time, the East Indians in Guyana will help you get rich.”

East Indians on the Corentyne need to ask themselves, and East Indians everywhere in Guyana, “Am I not capable to create wealth for my families.”

Why, would Ramotar and Jagdeo disrespect the free will of the East Indians of Guyana?

You are to be reminded. You are in this part of the world because of devious men back in India.  The Brahmins of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh created a society of greed for your fore-fathers. The lands they farmed for millions of years were seized from the villages-something like what the Ramotar/Jagdeo Clique done to the Local Government Elections. This clique deliberately permits hardships on the famers in Guyana. No drainage and Irrigation. No matter how hard you work, they rob you in their secret deals with their buddies. The middle-men.

Watch the movie, “Mother India”, you will see your future.

It is all happening again. After 177 years in Guyana.  You, the East Indians have empowered another set of Brahmins. They followed us to Guyana-Ramotar and his clan. Just as the children of the Brahmins in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh did not plough the land yet they extracted the fat of your fore-fathers labour, so also are the children of the PPP cabal waiting to seize your harvest.

Famine and Brahmin greed forced our fore-parents to flee Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. When they boarded those ships for British Guiana, they were walking skin and bones. Starvation had beaten them down. Escaped the clutches of a tyrannical caste of people, they boarded those ships. Never knowing the fate or where they were going.

The author of the West of Trial painted picture of the White man taking advantage of the indentured East Indians to Guyana. I say, it was an opportunity to escape ignorances of India.

In their loins they carried you to this land, we have settled in, Guyana. Free and healthy. Why do you wish to be in bondage again?

Please vote APNU+AFC.

Free yourself from the clutches of Bharrat Jagdeo who has elevated himself as the tyrannical Brahmin. Speaking to you as if you are a stupid people. He will not plough the land, but every month you have to give him lots of money. For doing nothing. A young man like that?              

I was part of an Investment Consortium trying to implement the European Union Funds allotted to LEAP. The money is finished. And our Project never received serious considerations. That was about ten years ago. It can still be implanted today. We were going to manufacture hard wood products for the Export Market. Something similar to, the approach IKEA has-on a smaller version. Lands and Buildings once used by Demba were going to be used as the Manufacturing Facilities.

This Project is still viable today. Creating at least 1000 full time sustainable jobs in Linden. This has to be a government initiative for the start. Then the company goes public-selling shares and recovering the government investments.     

In order to comply with promises made by the APNU+AFC. There should be a Short Term Plan and a Long Term Plan. The Short Term Plans will generate employment immediately. It is must be structured and wage conscious. All those Housing Schemes will need paved roads, efficient water systems and electricity. Those are huge employment opportunities.

We are told often by ordinary citizens of their water woes. There is neglect in that Corporation that needs addressing.

On Electricity, the Short-term plan will be Solar Power and Localized Power Generation. That is an area of huge employment opportunities.

After the APNU+AFC victory, the people will expect immediate changes.

It is possible.

Dr. Doerga words are correct. We have the people to bring about changes in our country.

DEMOCRACY DEMANDS WISDOM

This commentary was written before the coalition of APNU+AFC. Still relevant.

TIME.

Time has passages. It writes the story of a country, the passages of its sorrow, passages of its pain, passages of its suffering and……..

Ours is missing the passages of its joy. That we shall have soon. And soon can’t come quick enough for the celebration of good governance.

We eagerly await ELECTION DAY-all those who oppose the regime of the People’s Progress Party.

In Ecclesiastes 3, it is written, ”A Time for Everything.”

Time has come to choose a NEW PATH.

A path, I ENCOUAGE the YOUNG citizens to FOLLOW.

For fear exists in the land. No longer hidden. No longer an assumption of distrust. It is a practiced discrimination by the electorate. Afro will choose the PNC/APNU. The PPP and AFC battle for the Indo votes. The Amerindians free to choose one of these entities whose spell they happen to fall under. 

Imagine the People’s Progressive Party dominance of over their Indo supporters. Fearful is the AFC of the backlash of their portion of Indo supporters, if they stood side by side with PNC/APNU, at the rally against the Proroguing of Parliament.

YOU KNOW, TO CONTINUE in this existing political climate, IS TO BE LOST FOREVER in confrontation. Such a scenario do no good for the country-it will ALWAYS leave us divided.

A clear majority is needed to move us forward in trust.

Time for the PATH that molds us as one people, one nation with one a common destiny.

YOUNG PEOPLE, this is your opportunity. Embrace your future.

This is your era.   

Young Amerindians, stand up and be significant in the development of your country.

Afro-Guyanese youths balance this nation with your fellow countrymen-the young Indo-Guyanese, the young Amerinds and the young of the other Races. For we are all Guyanese.  

Today, by the touch of a keypad you can access information from any time in history and of any culture.

Young People you can read of your past.  You are from a people with a history of suffering, pain and sorrow. IT IS YOUR RIGHT to usher in JOY in this country.

I urge you to be hungry and desperate for a new season. For it is your season. Seize the day and the moment. You are a chosen generation after centuries of hardships. Do it with all your might. Be like a meteor that is destined to consume anything in the old path. Seek for the citizens a new PATH.

And the people can say (Psalm 126), “The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.”

THE MESSAGE:

It is empowerment. And Local Government Elections is the bedrock upon which progress and empowerment is built upon. To deny you these elections is to deny you a say in the affairs of your country. Relinquishing your power to a centralized group of men and women far removed from your communities. You should be a stake holder in your country and if you have the talent to rise economically then we should have a government that bolster your aspirations-giving support, advice and directions to make your dreams a reality. We need a government that permit Guyanese of all walks of life to develop businesses and benefit from the richness of the land-its gold, timber, etc, etc. I believe in Guyanese first. Foreign investments is not only to extract our riches, but to learn from and eventually be their competitors.

The world was intended to be a sweet place.

No one wants to die but live forever-Guyana is a sweet place. But there are men whose works are mischievous, bringing misery into the lives of others-mostly to the masses.

Happiness is a comfort-it is only attainable if we care for one another. And democracy gives us all a say in the paths that we choose as a nation.

But Democracy demands Wisdom.

This election is about your empowerment, your knowledge, your wisdom and your destiny as one nation. It is all about your Democracy.

 THE PROPOSAL:

1)       No effort must be spared to empower Amerindians.

Opportunities in Guyana Defence Force will be opened to them. A contingent in the army with be created wholly for these citizens. Capable youths of male and female willing to participate will be educated to highest level at an accelerated pace. Their services are urgently needed to supervise and monitor our resources in the hinterland.

2)      An Elite Armed Services will be created, comprising of talented from the ranks of the existing GDF and contingent of the Amerindians. Reflective of the races of the nation. They will be the eyes and ears of the country. Trained to fly within our air space, operate ocean going vehicles to provide safety to our fishermen within our territorial waters and hasten over land with modern equipment to protect our sovereignty.  Our intelligence gathering to protect our God given inheritance will be spared no cost.   

TRUTH & RECONCILIATION:

As a citizen of Guyana, if you were wronged in any way by the previous governments (after independence) you will be urged to come forward with your case. This includes those who were deviously robbed through corruption of their properties of house and land. Leased lands that was repossessed by the government without compensation. If government officials dismantled your living quarters and caused your family hardships, you will be heard. Cases will be heard by a selective body of professionals. If it warrants a judicial decision, it will be forwarded to a special court set up for expeditious judgement.  This country is yours and you must come first in all facets of its development. No Guyanese, regardless of education or influence are ever allowed to disrespect their fellow citizens no matter what level of the society they may find themselves.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT:

Corruption is a detriment to any type of business-large or small. It diminishes profitability, competition and the desire to invest in yourself-the entrepreneurial spirit. Further, it creates an elite class with ill- gotten gains. Such class of individuals are repressive to superiors as well as subordinates-for they are a people who care less about nation building and more on chaos of the society. Under such systems they excel in their corruptions.

This Movement will discourage all foreign importation. I want to emphasize discourage not banned. The emphasis is to manufacture every possible commodity that we consume. Thereby creating businesses and employment opportunities for Guyanese.  We will as a governing body encourage and assist in the development of the Fashion Industry, Music Industry, Film-making and documentaries to tell our stories. We have a history and there is the need for us to be entertained by our joys, pains and hurts. Individually we experience life and collectively as a nation, together we all share in the experiences of life.   

Some might argue, “Where are we going get the money to do this?”  By an ordered and well organized taxation system we will collect every penny of taxes owing to the State. Be it foreign or local entities.

Our places of higher learning will develop programmes to train Guyanese to undertake all the infra-structure work necessary to make us a First-World nation.

Every Industrial Estate will have the necessary facilities to generate electricity for production. Localized power generation, reduces cost of electricity also maintenance costs. Security will be a priority, to protect the investments of those who dared to dream the progress of a country.

Copyright laws will be enacted to guarantee the royalties which you richly deserve for your efforts. 

We are going to add value to every piece of raw material that we extract from the land. It is a priority for Guyana. For a Home-based population of less than a million, we should have better standard of living. We have in diaspora perhaps an equal amount hoping to return to the place of their birth-a place free of crime and corruption.

And much more will be done.

THE REALITY:

We cannot escape the Racism that exists in this country. And to say, it is not there, is to fool one self.  In particular, we have Guyanese who write continually on the marginalization of Afro-Guyanese. And I cannot predict when this nation will be able to embrace itself with the races of people we proudly say we have in our midst. But we must do what must do to develop a country for all.  We have seen political parties that have trampled on the civil rights of ethnic groups in our history. And we never know when again such men would come out of the woodwork and receive approval of their constituents. EVEN THOUGH, I WOULD CANVASS FOR EVERY VOTE with the hope of denying every other political party an elected seat in parliament. I would promote among many other things that the AFC, PNC, PPP and every other political party receive equal funding and air time. Contesting an election should never be a battle, a war or denying. We should share the common goals of making the country a better place. Instead of what is being done now, prohibiting those who wish to govern by every conceivable means.

 Sincerely.

QUIET CONFLICTS

QUIET CONFLICTS:

A people, grace the political gatherings of the known dishonest government. They applaud at their deceitful words. They are entertained. It is the destruction - pains and sufferings they invite upon themselves. So many times in history, such types of men are elected. Perils are their companion.

My country have such men and women. The Clique of Ramotar/ Jagdeo. They may well have your pains and sufferings written for you. You see their corruption and yet you act dumb to it. You gather to them, as the day Christ was crucified in Jerusalem. Madness. Utter madness. I see your adulations.

Twisted words pleases you. Be curious. Search the words, peeling off the lips of the fear mongers.

This country has already seen a man like Jagdeo.

Afro-Guyanese can attest to the man who fashioned words and sentences –beautiful when dropping from his lips. They too were entertained. Then the entertainer became the task master. Forbes was that Man.  Under his regime, every citizen, subordinate to the Kabaka, had to manage their sufferings-coolie people and black people alike.

East Indians, I ask of you again. Give your vote to the APNU+AFC. You will rid yourself of Ramotar/Jagdeo Clique and re-take the Peoples Progressive Party. You cannot allow the Godless to strip you of your freedom. Do not live in your memories of the Jagans-then you are already dead as they are. And you would have handed over your children to the evil deeds of the Ramotar/Jagdeo Clique.

In 1950, our hearts and minds were poisoned by extremists.  Evil Godless people who brought a dangerous ideology to us. They sought to remove God from the society. And their vision became a division (di-vision).

When the defenses of God are removed, mankind is left to the wiles of the devil. Chaos will become the norm.  

And chaos we have had since.

In 1955, the Split between Forbes and Cheddie fractured the peaceful co-existence of Afro and Indo Guyanese. By this time, East Indians had lived 117 years among the Afro, in the villages, city and town.

The genesis of quiet conflicts.

Ordinary citizens paid the ultimate prize for false rhetoric.

Freedom, is not about politics. It is the duty and rights of citizens to defend it. Freedom is your homes, your wives and your children. Your faith in God.

It was a Foreigner who came to us from Chicago-Godless in her beliefs. A Stalinist, determined to mold us to her visions of a utopian society.      

In 1953, a boy of 8 years. I listened to the radio as the Governor gave his speech on why he suspended the constitution.  Everything he said was true. I saw it all.

Subversive materials. I distributed it. Unlawful to be in possession of. My father would hid it away so that the police raids couldn’t find it.

Banned Public gatherings. My father ignored the order and flew huge red flag, advertising a public meeting.

Letters of Intimidation. I transcribed them.

Prohibited from displaying the portrait of Josef Stalin. My father would carry it around his neck in full view of the Governor.

Sabotage. My father was accused of attempting to dynamite Blairmont Sugar Factory.

David Rose came with the Detained Oder very early one morning in 1954 and took him away to Mazaruni. 

As the governor continued to read, citizens became aware of events that took place unknowing to them.

The frequent trips the Jagans made to the Soviet Union. Honouring and singing songs of praise not to God but Josef Stalin. A man who killed millions of his own people.

The entrenched Jagans, would be subversives. Their quiet conflicts with Burnham’s PNC.

Death was part of the culture of the communists. Guyana would have its share of death. More the conflicts. More the possibility of death. More the Jagans Peoples Progressive Party would cultivate the minds of the East Indians. Added to the Enmore Martyrs would be the Ballot Box Martyrs, Michael Forde killing, Wismar Massacre, the arrest and trials for treasonable acts.

All this made to appear, as if it was the complete fault of the tyrant Forbes Burnham. Agitators were constantly at work.     

Forbes was a member of the Jagans PPP, he knew the capabilities and dangers he was up against. And he prepared for it.

Cheddie played into Forbes hands.

The communist agenda of the Jagans disturbed the West tremendously. The British Army was deployed. Searched the homes of East Indian. Confiscated their guns. Considered no longer a threat to the PNC, Forbes Burnham was free of any possible overthrow by the PPP.  The Americans would modernize the Volunteer Force into the Guyana Defence Force.

Another set of Quiet Conflicts.

The Jagans would recruit young East Indians for scholarships to the Soviet Union. A special university set up for indoctrination-Patrice Lumumba University. Lectures on the values of Marxism and Leninism. Part of the curriculum was the instruction of subversion. The Jagans would make frequent trips to Moscow for progress reports. An army of subversives for the struggles of Guyana’s Freedom.

Yet, another set of Quiet Conflicts.

Forbes would be prepared.

As the young men returned home, Forbes would see to it that they were never employed. Those who did find work, were hounded by PPP operatives. Labeled as sell outs. And at times bullied and threatened.

Today, you will find such men in Guyana. Ready to intimidate the East Indians into submission. Into Cult Jagan – the godless, must never be blotted out of the memory of the East Indians.

Quiet Conflicts are still present.

Forbes has been dead for some 30 years now, but the minds of the Stalinist cannot perceive it. They were brainwashed of his misdeeds. They are locked in time. The Ramotar/Jagdeo Clique are zombies-dead but yet walks.

It is time for these quiet conflicts to end.

East Indians you must vote APNU+AFC. By doing so, you will displace the impostors of the Peoples Progressive Party.      

Let it be known. For every year Forbes reigned, the Jagans were responsible for it. Their refusal to depart from a Communist Ideology was a Stubbornness. Communism died and they didn’t even know. The PPP they left behind is Communist in structure-old and dilapidated. And the corruptible have moved in.

Throw them out and fashion a modern political system-one that as East Indians you can contribute in meaningful ways with the other political organizations to make Guyana better for all citizens.

THE CULT

THE CULT:

The dictionary explains, “intense in and devotion to a person, idea, or activity.”

That is the condition and state of mind of the East Indians. And it has been that way since the early 1950’s. Especially, after the Split between Forbes and Cheddie.

I am in no way attempting to belittle the minds of the East Indian population of Guyana. However, I will attempt to enlighten. Those, my fellow citizens.

Did Dr. Jagan, intentionally wanted such intense dominance over the minds of his ethnic group?  He had quite a noticeable smile. And, at times I wondered, what is going on in his mind. The mind is a secret. Its true intentions can be discerned on the face. But, can be masked by the smile.

Today, we have Cult followings in Guyana. For the Afro, it is L.F.S. Burnham. And, for the Indo, it is C.B. Jagan,

Way back then. For the Amerinds, it would have been Randolph Cheeks-if they remembered. And, for the Putagee, it was Peter D’Augiar.

No Afro dare say anything negative about Forbes-because, it would be dishonouring to his memory and giving credit to those who have chastised him all along. His name, immediately conjures up everything Afro-Guyanese.

Cheddie, the reminder of rigged elections, banned food commodities, Indo persecution. His name, is a remembering of those days.

The representations of good and evil. That changes sides. Depending on the ethnic groups.

It is like Biblical.

Nebuchadnezzar had built an image-once the trumpet was blown everyone prostrated themselves to the idol.

Both Jagan and Burnham have become images in the mindset of the Guyanese people. And we are made to buckle under their memories.  Both Granger and Nagamootoo are muzzled-not to dare the wrath of the respective adherents. They must find that narrow path and prevail.         

Particularly, how did the “Jagans Cult” came to be?

I am reminded of the PPP supporter who claimed, “since he barn and gat sense, he only know the PPP.”

Whenever, I meet this fella, I plan to ask him, “If he was born in a fowl cob, would he consider himself to be a man or a fowl.”

Anyway, the mind of the East Indian was predetermined at a very early age. As to their sentiments.

Janet had a devotion to Communism. She found in Cheddie, a country. Ready for her communist activities. Not to say, it wasn’t already sold at the street corners of Georgetown. Communist ideas were already around in British Guiana among some of the Coloureds-mainly people with the African and Baccra bloodline. But, Janet drove it. With such intensity. She was the organiser. Cheddie was only the face. Even the Governor of the Colony, publicly made known his observation, “It appears, as though the Premier takes his orders from another.”

I love to research ancient history. Because, I see a reoccurring pattern in the lives of the generations that had lived on this planet. As the Scriptures records, “The hearts and souls of mankind are unchanged from generations to generations.” For every civilization, their technologies continually (we build on it) enhances our progress to living. But, it does not alter the heart-for the heart (mind) is where good and evil thrives.

My country has a parallel to the “Cult of Baal”, the god of Mesopotamia.

From the Bible: Nimrod was a mighty warrior. In the eyes of the Almighty God, he was a mighty hunter. Nimrod created the kingdom of Babylon and many other centers (cities) in modern day Iraq. He also wanted to reach the throne of God with his Tower of Babel. He was a Rebel.

In his book, “The West on Trial”, Dr. Jagan would write, “On his family tree, there would not have been a Rebel like him.” Ofcourse, he had to be thinking of Bihar-later divided as Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. He was a first generation, born in the colony whose parents were from Uttar Pradesh. Every man needs a good woman behind him to promote his destiny.  And Janet was his mentor.

Semiramis, the mother of Nimrod, fascinated with the might and power of her son. She would want him to be remembered forever. She would have a child by Nimrod. Baal. And in Baal, Semiramis created a god, claiming Baal to be the re-incarnation of Nimrod. Wherever, that civilization conquered, Baal was worshipped. After decades of worshipping Baal, the Hittites would dominate the known world and took the worship of Baal to higher limits. They became an abomination in the eyes of the Almighty God.

Enough is Enough, And God would send out the Israelites to crush the altars of Baal wherever it was found.     

Dr. Jagan had two very short duration of leadership in Guyana. His first duration came to an abrupt end because of his stubbornness. And the other, his death. And the myth is, “What he could have been.”

As any wife of influence, Janet would want to keep Cheddie’s memory alive. Memories is one thing, but to enslave the minds of the East Indians to the Cult of Jagan. That is wrong.

East Indians are programmed to believe Dr. Jagan was not corrupt and he lived frugal. In other words, he was poor. I say, Cheddie had a limited vision. He did not know how to create wealth. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANYTIME IN HISTORY WHEN A POOR MAN CREATED EMPLOYMENT FOR HIS FELLOW POOR and to improve their lives. He failed this nation. And now in death, he is being remembered to halt progress. Quite recently, his house was a big discussion-that is all part of the cultish dogma.

The Jagans have completely destroyed democracy in Guyana. They simply did not have that style of thinking when they managed the PPP. So, their approaches to the national interests of Guyana was lacking. Cheddie was elected to a government, but he never governed in the interest of the country. He remained just a PPP man.

Power and control was their ultimate aims. No different than Forbes Burnham. Forbes took power and failed to govern in the interest of the country. He just needed the power

Dr. Jagan also, just wanted the power. However, elected for the honour.  A man in complete control. He consulted no one on his decisions. He just did it. All the sicknesses of this nation, stems from his appointments. Guyana Revenue Agency, held by his very personal relationship along family contacts. On nepotism, he appointed his brother as Speaker and other family members to State Boards. On Cronyism, he appointed his contacts to every State Institutions, be it friends or poorly adequate party members. Sugar and Rice was in trouble when he came into the government, yet he deliberately appointed inadequate individuals to manage those Boards. On corruption, he knew of it, he did nothing to stop it. And when questioned about it by lowly East Indians, he held them in contempt-to the point of insulting. East Indians, stored their wealth in the jewelry they adorned themselves. Cheddie knew of Ministers in his government in the sixties and nineties who extracted bribes from East Indians for state lands and house-lots. He condoned those acts as rewards for his Comrades allegiance to him. Cheddie, knew he had bigots in his cabinet-they made grown men cried-they intimidated fellow East Indian because they were public servants in the PNC regime. He did nothing to curb their racism towards Afro-Guyanese. Complained bitterly about Burnham’s Constitution, yet he did nothing to it, once elected. East Indians felt the brunt of kick-down doors and gun related crimes. The police rented their guns out to criminals. Once elected, Dr. Jagan ignored the plight of the East Indians. Instead, extended the retirement of the Police Commissioner, under whose watch crimes flourished. He should have terminated the man. Then, the man who made promises, he never intend to honour. Monica Reece, killed and her body dumped in the street. Dr. Jagan would promise her mother, justice. The Great Leader of the East Indians was compromised.

Guyana became a criminal state long before Bharrat Jagdeo. Guyana became a corrupt state long before Bharrat Jagdeo. Guyana became the real estate for friends and family long before Bharrat Jagdeo.

Bharrat Jagdeo, simply took it all to a higher level.

People of the Corentyne. This, you must stop.

In the West on Trial, he writes, “at the graveside of the slain men of the Enmore Massacre, he shed a tear and silently pledged to free the people of this country.”

If Dr. Jagan could see what he has done to Guyana?  What his so called legacy is party to? He would strip himself naked. Adorned loin cloth. Sit in ashes. Wail. Throw ashes upon his head in great lamentations for the people whose spilt blood and tears have mingled with the soil of this land.

He died, leaving this country into the hands of devious men and women. Some of them, he knew full well of their misdeeds, before joining Linden Forbes Samson Burnham up above.      

And Guyana became a state of compromises and abuses of protocols. The PPP made Sam Hinds a fool in the eyes of his people. Did Dr. Jagan knowingly set up Sam Hinds for the role he was relegated to? If he did, then Dr. Jagan was a closet bigot-a danger to the Guyanese society. The PPP meant more to him than the nation of Guyana. Then came the charade of Janet. The games the Jagans played with the minds of the Guyanese people. Mrs. Jagan would get herself elected as President. Step aside and coronate Bharrat Jagdeo. Her Soviet protégé. Semiramis and Baal thousands of year later-in Guyana.

Mrs. Jagan handed over the East Indians to Bharrat Jagdeo in the memory of her husband, Dr. Jagan. She did such a fantastic job on their hearts and minds, even the legitimate children cannot unhinged that affection. And in this cult, the fruits of Mrs. Jagan teachings gave us the crop misfits at Freedom House-the priests of the Cult of Jagan.

And listen to the voice that emanates from the burden of the Jagans. The yoke majority of citizens are under for his affluence. What does he say? Lies and deceptions- works of Lucifer. Aim is to cheat, steal, rob and kill.

Against great odds, I beseech the East Indians to Vote APNU+AFC. Free yourself from bondage and regain the Peoples Progressive Party.

For this struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm.    

Choose well my countrymen. Bette Milder reminds us, “God is watching us from a distance.”

STRATEGIC ALLIANCE

STRATEGIC ALLIANCE

.

“PLEDGE” written on October 5, 2014.

“To Those Who Vote PPP” written November 15, 2014.

It is as though my words are prophetic. I am prompted by that inner voice to write to my country. Jewish Rabbis have stated, “When God speaks, the listener hears the words of God either in his own voice or the voice of his teacher-just as the Prophet Samuel heard the voice of Eli, his teacher.”

The Elections of 2011, I was prompted to write a victory for the AFC-they were favoured. The leadership of the AFC probably did not think much of it or knew of it.

My country needed a fresh start.

For 65 years, I am burdened by the missed opportunities.

That day, at GECOM, when two votes gave the AFC another seat in Parliament. That was the victory.  And of things to come, later. It stunned the Ramotar/Jagdeo Clique. The Combined Opposition became the majority.  In one of the topics on my Blog I have recounted the event of the applications of an incorrect formula, spotted by Mr. Alexander.

That is God at work. Answer to the prayer of a burdensome heart. 

Now, I am prompted again to appeal to the East Indian voters. Just as I was prompted back on November 15, 2014 when I wrote, “To Those Who Vote PPP.”  

Please, pay heed to my call.

Support the APNU+AFC with every one of your votes.

There is no PPP at this point, only the Ramotar/Jagdeo Clique. A family ran organization, hoping for your empowerment of them, to be more dishonest. The harlots of corruption are more bold and barefaced.

Vote APNU+AFC. It is a Strategic Alliance. One that gives you time to re-build the Peoples Progressive Party. Your party.

The PPP must survive. Just as the PNC and the AFC. It is important and healthy for the country. And I wrote about that too. For the times of madness as we have today, sane men can come together for a common cause of the country’s survival.

I strongly urge you East Indians. Do your part for your country. Please do not empower Ramotar/Jagdeo Clique with your ballot. Doing so will only cause additional punishment to all-including you the East Indians.

Please be sensible.     

Preached at, by the Ramotar/Jagdeo Clique to be fearful of their fellow citizens. Telling the East Indians, the PPP is a Coolie Man Party only justifies that the PNC must be a Blackman Party.     

The Clique resurrected L.F.S Burnham, to remind East Indians of his banning of flour, dhall, aloo, sardines and other food items.  And for 23 years now under the so called PPP and some years under Desmond Hoyte those food items were imported again. 

So what is the purpose of all the talk about Forbes Burnham?

East Indians, please try to see the schemes of the Ramotar/Jagdeo Clique.

Memories are not just about the past. Be curious. And you will know, the past is used to capture your hearts and minds in support of the Clique, for unending generations. Already a whole generation has died in their support for the PPP. They died poor, you are poor and your children will be poor and your children children will be poor. The men and women of the so called PPP will get richer and you will be slave to them. For that is where the Ramotar/Jagdeo Clique wishes to hold you. They have determined your future in the past twenty three years. Because you let them do it.

For God’s sake, please don’t be stubborn.

Change things.

Make things better.

The Clique will preach the fallacies of Forbes Burnham, but they will never tell you how he came to power. There would never have been any of Forbes policies had it not been for the Jagans and their Stalinist /Communist ideology.  They too, were stubborn to change their bankrupt ways of thinking. Just as you the East Indians of today. It is not too late for you to make a difference in the governance of your country.

Not too late. Not yet, anyway.

Dr. Jagan pursue a Communist agenda that excels at keeping citizens of all countries that has that style of thinking in poverty. It did not bother him that he hated capitalism of America, Britain, Canada and other countries that have freedom, plenty to eat and  free expressions. He was willing to trade all those things British Guianese had grown accustomed to, for scarcity of food stuff, suppression of freedom, food rationing and food lines. Forbes Burnham thought like him too. That is why Cheddie Jagan gave support to Burnham’s decisions to restrict freedom of America, British and Canada intervention.

Both men were Soviet stooges. One more fanatical than the other. Forbes pacified Cheddie by quoting Communist doctrines to him. One of Forbes favorite to Cheedie whenever there were complaints, “Oh! Come now comrade, in Communism there is class strife not racial strife.” So bankrupt were both of those men-they made us hate our own countrymen.  Each consumed by power. Forbes for his own Pride. For Cheddie, glorification by his Soviet Masters for his continued efforts. For Cheddie Jagan, the rural East Indians were nothing more than mere votes for his advancement of Communism in Guyana. Cheddie loved the Soviet so much, he even empowered Soviet trained Bharrat Jagdeo as his successor. His actions dictated that. Perhaps, he gave Mrs, Jagan a note on that, before he died. 

Is it any wonder that Bharrat Jagdeo would go to any lengths and get the East Indian vote in rural Corentyne.  Dr, Cheddie B. Jagan would approve all of Bharrat Jagdeo words.

Forbes is resurrected by the Clique as the bogey man. Cheddie is resurrected as the saint.

I ask you, please vote for the APNU+AFC. Every person. By doing so, you would have freed yourself from the clutches of Bharrat  Jagdeo. His dominance and the dominance of those that surrounds him. They have nothing in common with you and seek not your hope of better days for your families.

Throw them out of Parliament and you will see how quickly they will go off to America. And with their riches.

Regain the Peoples Progressive Party. It is your party. The party that you sustained for 65 years. Had it not been for you, your parents and grandparents there would not have been any Jagans or Jagdeo. You have empowered these individual with your single vote.

Your vote has power.

And this election use it for CHANGE.

Vote APNU+AFC.

Let your vote be counted in that coalition.

This is your opportunity to re-build your country. Be involved it in. Seldom in history, when situations lines itself up, in such a way, that a change is absolutely necessary. David Granger is not Forbes Burnham. Neither is he like Robert Corbin or Desmond Hoyte. He is an honourable man who will forge policies and procedures to better the lives of all and every Guyanese.

Let it be known, it is a coalition I am asking you to vote for. The Peoples National Congress and the Alliance for Change are the major players. You, who are not supporters of the PNC and AFC must take your block of votes over to the coalition. They will know, you have put your lot in with them.

The aim is to take all 65 seats of parliament. One, for each year of the so called PPP 65 years of existence. And its failure to govern for all the peoples of Guyana.

You are going to regain the Peoples Progressive Party and throw out the current leadership. After 65 years, you will finally have control. The party that was built by past generations hard earned pennies and the purchase of it newspaper-The Thunder. The party will be in your control for the very first time. It is very necessary for a renewed Peoples Progressive Party. The PNC and AFC will still be around.    

East Indians! Please doan let Jagdeo use dead men to chart your future. Dumped Bharrat Jagdeo and his band of misfits.

Vote APNU+AFC.

By doing so.

You free yourself of racial politics.

You get the opportunity to regain the PPP.

And chase out Jagdeo and his band of misfits from Freedom House. Out of your lives. For they have no morality.

Look back and find out whether racial divisions have done the country and citizens any good.

Vote APNU+AFC.

Regain control of the Peoples Progressive Party.

Your Political Party.

It is a Strategic Alliance.

FORBIDDEN

FORBIDDEN.

The dictionary explains it to be, not permitted by order or law.

The Peoples Progressive Party guard its East Indian support base from truths-truths that will set the Indo mind free of bondage to the PPP. As their glorious party leader titled his book, “Forbidden Freedom.”

“Forbidden Freedom”, that is why the PPP cabal is reaching into the hearts and souls of the East Indians. Simply, to forbid East Indians their God given rights of Freedom of Thought. The Stalinist of the 1950’s have taught their protégé well at Freedom House. It is like a Generational Curse upon the peoples of Guyana, to deny the existence of God. Because lies and deceptions are the stock and trade of a Communist.

The great irony, these persecutors of Guyanese Civil Rights, have Freedom and Democracy as their Standards. The reality is, they stifle those Pillars of the Society. Their entire 65 years history sought to destroy us as a united country by attacking the institutions given to us from our Colonial Past.    

I am reminded of a case study. “Control of the mind.”

“In a room was a pole reaching to the ceiling. On the pole was a bucket. A small bunch of bananas was positioned onto the bucket. In the bucket was water, filled to the brim.

Two monkeys were then let into the room. Upon seeing the bananas, First Monkey ran up the pole. Grabbed at a banana. Immediately, the water filled bucket tipped and soaked the animal. Letting loose of the banana and hurriedly ran down the pole. Second Monkey was cautious going up the pole while First Monkey attempted to restrain the animal’s ascent. Second Monkey freed itself from the grasp of First Monkey and made its way up to the bananas. The animal got soaked as well.

First Monkey was taken out of the room. And “Another Monkey” was let into the room. The same was about to occur. Heading up the pole for the bananas. Only, this time, Second Monkey wrestled with “Another Monkey”, preventing the animal from going up the pole after a prolonged struggle.      

Somehow, “Another Monkey” realized it can never go up the pole regardless how tempting were the bananas. The animal never ventured up the pole and experienced the soaking.

After that episode, “Second Monkey” was taken out of the room.

More monkeys were let into the room-one at a time. After “Second Monkey” was removed, all the other monkeys remained in the room as the animals were placed in it.

“Another Monkey” wrestled with the first five monkeys that were let into room from going up the pole. After the fifth monkey, as the others were let into the room, the animals never even bothered with bananas up the pole.

Eventually, “Another Monkey” was removed from the room. And the case study continued with several other monkeys being let into the room and not even one the animals bothered to go up the pole for the bananas.”

The animals were psychologically programmed.

So are the minds of the East Indians. 

Never knowing Forbes Burnham or the rigged elections or the era of banned food items or the food lines. Constantly reminded by one another of those terrible 28 years.

The protégé of Janet Jagan were taught to despise the Peoples National Congress and all those who associates with it. It is a hatred carried forward by generations of PPP men and women, young and old at Freedom House. They now have reached their full rottenness. Sixty-five years of lies and deceit.

Why the contempt for Forbes Burnham?

Mrs. Jagan could not accept Mr. Burnham’s challenge to Dr. Cheddie Jagan for the leadership of the Peoples Progressive Party in 1955. The Jagans went on to Split the party because they did not accept the results of the 1955 Congress. How could Burnham dared to challenge the Jagans for the leadership of the Peoples Progressive Party? It was unforgiven. Their campaign to smear him only alienated the citizen of the country.

Mrs. Jagan’s contempt for the PNC was evident when she tossed the writ to the wind. Signifying, “Who the hell is Desmond Hoyte and the PNC. Go ahead and swear me in as the President of Guyana.”

Then, her term of Presidency was shortened.

Hell hath no fury like a woman’s scorn. And scorn, did she have for the citizens of Guyana. She gave us Bharrat Jagdeo.

Mrs. Jagan simply would not depart from us in peace.  As dead as she is.

The Jagans gave us Forbes Burnham. Forbes was quite happy in England. As written in the West on Trial, Cheddie invited Forbes back to British Guiana. And when he split, the East Indians were chattel to the PPP.

And for 28 years the East Indians sang the Jagans lines. No flour, no dhall, no aloo, no sardine, no corned mutton. The lamentations became ingrained hatred. For 28 years the PPP complained about rigged elections. And East Indians felt, that right was taken away from them.

Finally in 1992, the Jagans regained Guyana. And they honoured ALL the citizens of Guyana with their hand-pick Soviet trained successor Bharrat Jagdeo. Exactly the same way they selected Forbes Burnham, they selected Bharrat Jagdeo.  By invitation. And no discussions in the public domain.

Both of these men have caused numerous miseries upon the lives of East Indians. The East Indians knows of the PPP lies and deceit.

BECAUSE.

There were lamentations soon after 1992. The rigged elections, bitterly complained about are now abstained from. For every election, less and less East Indians voted. And all the banned food items they complained about, are on the shelves of stores. Bharrat Jagdeo have taxed them all with VAT.

East Indians!  You have eyes. Do you see Jagdeo and his friends? Take a good long look.

East Indians! Please Vote APNU+AFC. Doan abstain because yuh want to punish the government of Ramotar and at the same time don’t support the APNU+AFC. Please use your votes to free the party that you have supported all your lives. Free it from the grasp of Bharrat Jagdeo and his cronies. They are not members of the Peoples Progressive Party. They have hi-jacked your party with the assistance of the Jagans. They are imposters to your cause. And their opportunistic ways shines as bright as the noon day sun. They sow divisions between you and your fellow countrymen.

Send the imposters of the Peoples Progressive Party packing –throw them out.

Defeat them at the polls.

That is the only way you will be rid of them.

Vote APNU+AFC. You are not abandoning the PPP. A vote for the APNU+AFC gives you Freedom to rebuild the PPP.

Please support the APNU+AFC. Vote APNU+AFC. It is a good group of men with many years of history and wisdom.
