THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BURNHAM AND GRANGER. THEY BOTH HAVE BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS, THEY BOTH WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR 28 YEARS OF HORROR, STARVATION, INTIMIDATION AND SLAVERY AT HOPE ESTATE.  THEY ARE BOTH RESPONSIBLE FOR BEATING HOUSE SLAVE MOSES ALMOST TO DEATH AND PITCHING HIM LIKE A DOG ON THE PARPET!!!  NO ONE SHOULD BE SURPRISE AT THIS GOVT RACIST, CRIMINAL AND DICTATORIAL ACTS, NO ONE!!!!!

There was no massacre in MacKenzie. I fled to MacKenzie for safety.
The PNC gangs that were under the control of the relatives of D_G were in Wismar. Many of them targeted Indian families so that they could get their hand on the land and property. Someone should ask D_G where his family in Linden got all their wealth from after 1963.

"In these times of national crisis, the corporation of all is needed but this cannot be obtained, for there is such glaring evidence of discrimination."
—Forbes Burnham, May 27, 1964
“In May 1964, the Negroes at Wismar formed themselves into gangs and went to the business places and homes of the Indians and demanded the keys of the safety boxes and drawers in which they kept their cash, jewellery and other valuable articles. Shortly afterwards, a house at Third Alley was set on fire and soon the whole area became an inferno as the gangs roamed looting, burning and terrorizing the 1,600 Indians as they tried to escape. Every man, woman and child was attacked. The men brutally beaten and the clothes of the women and even girls of tender ages were ripped away. The women and girls were raped in full public view by gangs of men.”—Dwarka Nath, A History of Indian in Guyana.

Essay, May 26: Taboo The Wismar Report Wismar Page Two

Wismar is a charged topic not only because Indian people were murdered, Indian women raped, Indian-owned proerties burned, and hundreds of Indians forced to flee from there homes despite being taxpayers and free men and women of the British Empire. Wismar is a charged topic because one half of Guyana continues to deny its seriousness, refusing to accept that wholesale public denounciation of May 26 is a necessary part of any possible reconciliation for the future. Wismar is a charged topic not only because every national election is an occasion for Indians to be attacked, robbed, sexualy assaulted, shot, and intimidated in general. Wismar is a charged topic because the national political leadership by the PPP and PNC have thus far, allowed Wismar to remain a taboo subject instead of history. In the future, children of Guyana shall speak of Wismar as something that never happened.

When I say wholesale denounciation, I mean that Guyana cannot move beyond Wismar unless it selects a new date for its Independence celebration. By wholesale denounciation, I mean something much more that a children song, such as was done (in a doggerel) for the 1980 Independence celebration by Mr. Edwin Vanderyar which says;

 

THE WISMAR MASSACRE

by Fazil (Raymond) Ali

In the early 1960s Wismar and Christianburg were two mixed villages where Indo-Guyanese resided in the predominantly Afro-Guyanese (90 per cent) mining town of Mackenzie, located some 65 miles up the Demarara river from the capital of Georgetown.
But after independence from Britain, the name of the bauxite town was changed from Mackenzie to Linden. The PNC leader Linden Forbes Sampson Burnham named it after himself. It had been the scene of his greatest political triumph.
Did Burnham really change the name of the town from Mackenzie to Linden because he wanted to remove the colonial legacy and substitute a local name for a foreign or colonial one? If this was truly Burnham’s intention, then could have renamed Georgetown, which was of course named after King George of England.
Instead Burnham’s real motive for naming the town after himself was to symbolically establish his stamp and mark over a massacre where he had reigned supreme over Indo-Guyanese.
In short, "Linden" was a message to Indo-Guyanese that if they challenged him (Burnham) they could expect the same fate as the Indo-Guyanese community experienced on the 24th, 25th, and 26th of Mat 1964 in Mackenzie.
However, Burnham’s move to change the name from Mackenzie to Linden was only of his many acts to show his supremacy and superiority over the Indo-Guyanese community. He had earlier humiliated the same community by recommending the 26th of May 1966 as Guyana’s Independence Day to the British. The PPP was had fought so hard for the freedom of Guyana welcomed the end of British rule but did not participate in the independence celebrations with the same enthusiasm with which if fought to free Guyana. This was the same exact date and month that Indo-Guyanese in Mackenzie were murdered, raped, and burnt alive Blacks in the country’s worst racial violence.
The intensity of the racial violence perpetrated countrywide by Forbes Burnham’s People’s National Congress (PNC) and Peter D’Aguiar’s United Force (UF) was instrumental in bringing down Dr. Jagan’s PPP government after reaching its apex in Mackenzie.

The massacre of Indo-Guyanese began at Wismar and lasted for over 38 hours, beginning from Sunday May 24th and ending on Tuesday May 26, 1964. In the 38 hours of brutality, barbarism, and savagery on some 2000 Indo-Guyanese living in villages of Wismar and Christianburg, some 18000 Afro-Guyanese armed with cutlasses, wooden poles, gasoline bombs and guns burnt and destroyed over 230 Indo-Guyanese homes and businesses. Indo-Guyanese who thought they could find shelter in their own homes were confronted and beaten by large mobs of Afro-Guyanese screaming "kill de coolies" as their homes were burnt to the ground. One family whose home was burnt was confronted by a large mob who beat the wife unconscious, repeatedly stabbing the husband and then continuing to kick and molest two smaller children. This occurrence was by no means isolated. Some families who managed to escape from the villages into the nearby forest were also hunted down like animals.

However, their chances of survival were much better in the forest than in the villages. In addition to the mass burning and looting which resulted in over 1500 Indo-Guyanese becoming homeless, and the indiscriminate beating of Indo-Guyanese men, women, and children, 8 women were raped including two girls. Some of the women were repeatedly raped as the marauding band took turns on Indo-Guyanese women victims. This figure may even be higher since Guyanese women who were victims of rape seldom come forward and admit to such a heinous crime due to the shame associated with it. Once man was also burnt alive. Another, Mr. Ramjattan, a supporter of the PPP was found decapitated.

Injuries were in the hundreds, ranging from gunshot wounds, knife wounds, burns, broken bones, and mutilated bodies. One Indo-Guyanese man had both his legs and feet broken. An employee from the Demarara Bauxite Company said: "The Indians never had a chance". A Black woman showing no remorse said: "De ga wa dem deserve" (They coolies get what they deserved).
The evacuation of Indo-Guyanese from the massacre sites at Wismar and Christainburg did not take place until the evening of May 25th.

Two river steamers were commissioned to take the first batch of 1300 Indo-Guyanese refugees to Georgetown where they were booed, jeered, and pelted with bricks by Blacks as they arrived. A Red Cross worker said of the survivors: "Few wept, but the hundreds of children appeared terrified and frightened."

Out of the 1300 that arrived, 300 found shelter with relatives while the rest slept on the concrete floor of the pier warehouse in Georgetown huddling in fear while covered with tarpaulins and rice bags.
Temporary shelter was soon set up at a factory outside Georgetown with many other refugees later being put up in predominantly Indo-Guyanese areas.

For the rest of the 26th, 27th, and 28th about 500 Indo-Guyanese who had been hiding in the forest surrounding Wismar and Christainburg came out and were taken to the refugee camps outside Georgetown.

It is quite clear that the results of the massacres could have been significantly reduced or even avoided altogether, if the 75 members of the Mackenzie Police and Volunteer Force had not been all Blacks. The entire armed forces detachment at Mackenzie, which was heavily armed, took no offensive action while many friends, family and neighbors were carrying out the atrocities. Many members of the Police and Volunteer Forces took part in the looting, beating and killing of Indo-Guyanese as they had specialized military training as a profession.

In one incident two armed Black Volunteers refused to intervene when two Indo-Guyanese women were being raped. Instead, the women had to be rescued by employees from DEMBA. In another case, the Volunteer Force shot a young Indo-Guyanese man to death because he refused to stop at their command.

In those 38 hours of the massacre no Afro-Guyanese was arrested and only two wounded by bullets.
Janet Jagan, then Minister of Home Affairs on June 1st in a speech to the Guyana Parliament equated the suffering at Wismar to genocide since the police had done nothing to prevent the massacre.
She said, "It is possible for anyone to believe that, with the widespread violence, arson, rape, and murder, there could have been no show of force by the armed police and armed volunteers. Since this is impossible to accept, one can only come to the conclusion that planned genocide of a village was carried out with the connivance of all concerned."

She then resigned to protest the British Police Commissioner not responding to her orders.
However, it was not until after 24 hours of the violent massacre that British troops eventually arrived in the mining town. Their only suggestion was to evacuate the area.
The British troops they were powerless to stop the violence and the most that they (the troops) could do was to impose a curfew. The curfew did manage to quiet the situation but most of the killing, rapes, burning and beatings had already taken place.

The massacre of Indo-Guyanese in Wismar and Christianburg has remained a well-hidden and well-guarded secret. Not only have Guyanese failed to record and seriously document this important part of our history but also the older generations of Indo-Guyanese have not passed on this information even orally. Up to today these is no accurate figures on the number of Indo-Guyanese that have died during the Wismar massacre.

When Guyana’s Independence Day is celebrated on May 26th, Indo-Guyanese should also take time off to acknowledge those who suffered and died in the Wismar-Christianburg massacre. It may be necessary some atrocities orchestrated against them by the PNC, but we must not forget how and why it occurred.
All Guyanese must ensure it does not happen again. How can this be done? Obviously the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) recommendations which the PNC government agreed to implement must now be reflected in the Guyanese armed forces. Then any "ethnic cleansing" of other communities like Mackenzie will not reoccur again. Never again!

It makes my blood boil when AFC/PNC are now denying that the rapes and murders of Indos did not happen.

This is indeed a dictatorship.

Remember this, Granger made no mention of rapes and murder of Indos in a major paper that he presented. 

History is repeat itself.

Can you provide any evidence that the AFC is denying it? Why are you telling lies? Did your family not personally benefit financially from those murders?

But I don't hear you mention that more black people were murdered under the PPP regime that at any time during the PNC era.

REMEMBER WISMAR
It was a dark and red-lettered night
When they swept down on peaceful Wismar
Leaving a people in a miserable plight
Leaving each with an indelible scar
The mastermind was the infamous Chippy
Whose ambition was to kill every man
Woman and child in that peaceful community
By carrying out the X-13 Plan
They swept down viciously on doves like hawks
With blazing guns and set bayonets
Annihilating all that walks and all that talks
Sparing none with their racial bullets
Not even the sleeping babies escaped
Or the pregnant women and mothers
Even the young and aged were raped
Even the children, and little sisters
And as if that was not enough for these animals
All the innocent females were defiled
And many were crippled as in historical annals
Of wars of the barbarous and the wild
After they butchered the inhabitants
They did their looting and burning
Pillaging the shops and restaurants
And swiftly left Wismar a-smoking
Yes! they left the city ablaze
And the waters red with blood
This was only the first phase
Leaving body parts in the mud
Death was welcomed by those in excruciating pain
As the waters of the Demerara carry the chill
Many committed suicides and many became insane
And their plight is always remembered still
And on a very still or clear day one can hear
The cries of babies and women’s groans from afar
The wailing wenches and women in agony and fear
Amidst the flow and ebb of the waters of Wismar

Indo-Guyanese descendants of the 1964 Wismar massacre must get compensation from slave reparations
April 1, 2014 By GuyanaTimes
Dear Editor,
It’s true that millions of slaves faced horrific brutality and the din to be compensated has its merits. I have no problems with that. But Mr Eric Phillips’ letter in the press of March 29 is insensitive, completely wrong and most unacceptable.
For 1600 innocent Indo-Guyanese to be premeditatively massacred and brutalised for no other reason other than their race in the civilised 20th century makes it more despicable and inhumane. How is suffering measured to endorse and bring relief for some but at the same time does not apply to others?
Neither their religion nor humanity absolutely made any difference. Inflicted in revenge by albeit “superior” Afro-Guyanese, the objective was to teach the others a lesson.
Any good reason why the PNC held their party pioneering congress in that area, so confident those foreign interests had guaranteed their electoral victory with proportional representation or later still, select that dreadful May 26 in 1966 for Guyana’s independence?
What path would Mr Phillips recommend to be followed with regard to the above?
The entire Caribbean real estate, lock, stock and barrel, was handed over to slave descendants and all emerging Caribbean black governments became the new primary gatekeepers for all when the colonials departed.
Did automatic right of complete ownership ensue? What elevated governmental control had done was to lend initial courtesy to the myth of complete Afro-centric inheritance with subsequent total entitlement claims under the rule of law.
An evident ethno-centric scale arose which casually allowed such empowerment to define and decide who suffered more, that is, native Amerindians, Portuguese, Chinese and lastly Indians, but with Africans always impoverished by race unlike the others.
Mr Phillips again commits the same entitlement mistake by his dismissal of Wismar’s atrocities as a “small village incident” because the quotient numbers killed, he has decided, is not enough.
Will we remain mired in a problem that has no immediate solution, especially being subjected moreso by its media hypergraphia or more AFC instigated Lindens and Agricolas?
How fair is Guyana’s continued pursuit of justified closure and atonement for the brutalities of slavery to dismiss the recent modern brutalities of Indo- Guyanese at Wismar in 1964?
Distribution of reparations to significantly remedy and improve the black dilemma should be speedily clarified, since Caricom’s mission is funded by all taxpayers, in effect a subsidy only to benefit one race excluding all others.
Nowhere in Caribbean history has any other ethnic or race groups operated on a similar praxis. Wrong is wrong regardless. The Indo-Guyanese descendants of the 1964 Wismar massacre must get their due compensation from the slave reparations. Necessary justice by the same principle is what governs the inquiry surrounding the assassination of Dr Walter Rodney.
The offspring of ex-slaves, who would have legitimately secured their monetary compensation s some time in the unknown future, will certainly have much by which to be happy.
In the meantime, federalism, not shared governance or even partition, can best serve our divergent aspirations.
Sincerely,

Indos Must Remember:

Granger should tell us what happened to the ballot boxes
May 14, 2011

THERE is much talk about the attributes, qualities and suitability of the presidential candidates running for office in the forthcoming general elections. Some citizens are advocating Town Hall-type meetings, etc., but not all citizens can attend such meetings and a great responsibility will fall on the press to accurately report all that would be said. The reports must not reflect the views and sentiments of the reporters who wish to be called journalists. Views and comments must be reserved for commentaries, editorials, etc. The populace would like to hear what would be said by the participants in order for them to form opinions of their own. The correspondents and others, then, by their articles or reports should try to address their own points of view, to win over the recipients of the candidates’ addresses. I shall urge also that the candidates must be honest in their presentations and so not seek to incite or influence the citizenry with false statements and promises.
Let us take for instance presidential candidate Khemraj Ramjattan of the AFC. He promises to make two seats in Guyana’s Parliament available for members of the diaspora. If he were not a lawyer he may be excused for that. But he ought to know that certain conditions apply to those who may be selected to sit in our Parliament. The first requirement is for that person to be registered as a voter in Guyana. Secondly, his name must appear in the list of candidates from which the members will be selected. The seats he will offer to the diaspora cannot be rotated to others. Will they give up their overseas citizenship and come to live in Guyana or will they be shunting from country to country?
Secondly, I see him telling voters of Cane Grove who are suffering a dust nuisance that he will go to the Court for contempt proceedings. Is there a basis for him to get contempt proceedings for example, an Order of Court being disobeyed by someone? Is he honest in his representation to the people who are suffering, or God forbid, he does not know better. For a few votes, is he going to sell his reputation and soul for a mess of pottage?
But then, PNC Presidential candidate David Granger is a different kettle of fish. He is touted as an academic, a brilliant planner and schemer, a historian, a disciplinarian, a family man, etc. etc. When we see such credentials being advanced the inevitable conclusion is that here is an honest man. How intellectually honest do we find David Granger? To begin with the entire world knows that the PNC had rigged national elections in Guyana over the years, the last one being in 1985 which has put to shame the results of those elections before. We cannot forget also the efforts to get things right for 1990 elections when then President Hoyte used that as an excuse and adjourned the elections for two years and gave himself two additional years as President.
Our intellectual Granger wrote in his book “The New Road – A short history of the Guyana Defence Force 1966-1976”, that national elections were scheduled for July 1973 and the GDF was called in to aid the civil powers and prevent a breakdown of law and order that was planned by the gangsters. Those gangsters according to him were persons recruited by the PPP. Nowhere in the book did he say what the soldiers did with the ballot boxes which they collected at the several polling stations. Everyone knew that the ballot boxes which they collected were taken to the GDF Headquarters at Camp Ayangana in Thomas Lands, Georgetown where the ‘counting’ of the ballots took place. All saw the Camp on ‘mourning’ when black drapes were put over all the windows of the building there. Granger must have known of these things as he was the strategist of the army. He still has time to tell us what took place at the Camp when the ballot boxes were taken there. All will remember when the ballots were taken out of the sealed boxes the ballot papers with votes for the PNC were secured in rubber bands. The thought then was that those ballots were special – that as they fell into the ballot boxes they ganged up and aligned themselves in order and a fairy Godmother dropped rubber bands therein for the votes to be secured. Were the young Indian boys who were killed by the GDF soldiers that election day on the Corentyne trying to protect the ballot boxes and the ballots from those fictional characters?
In 2003 Granger went to Chile and presented a paper entitled Civil Violence Domestic Terrorism and Internal Security in Guyana for the period 1953 – 2003. He wrote about the deaths of 40 African Guyanese as the most alarming slaughter of the disturbances between that period. Interestingly enough, he did not tell the world who slaughtered those Africans. If he had said it was done by the Indians he would surely have asked what happened to the Indians. Little wonder he is called a GDF strategist – protecting the criminals from exposure. Nowhere in that paper did he mention the wholesale assaults, rapes and murders of the Indians who lived in Wismar. He did not tell the world that Indians were forced out of their homes which were then taken over by perpetrators. See how honest this presidential candidate is? He did not tell us about PPP supporters being robbed and females stripped of their clothing and raped in downtown Georgetown in 1998.
Is it any wonder that Wismar became a ghost town compared to areas where Indians were allowed to live in peace?
And what are Granger’s plans for the elections? He wants a female running mate as Prime Minister. Whom will he select? A very prominent female member of the PNCR was most active in the 1992 elections. On Election Day this wonderful woman drove an open-back vehicle, parked it outside the elections headquarters in Croal Street, Georgetown, and proceeded to unload tons of rocks and missiles with which she and her follow women supporters stoned the building. The American Ambassador was injured by one of the missiles. President Hoyte realised what was happening and he ordered the police to take action or he promised to move in the American Marines who were present. A Mr. Freddie Kissoon had and may still have tapes – video tapes – of those proceedings. But no mention is made of these things by Granger in his several writings.
Mr. Granger is recruiting army veterans as ‘scrutineers’ at polling booths at the forthcoming elections. Would these former GDF officials who in 1973 removed ballot boxes to Camp Ayanganna be his scrutineers? And he will supply women foot soldiers in his campaign. Whither are we heading? It is very ominous indeed and when we take into account what Ogunseye preached to his ACDA followers as to what will happen on election night, 2011, may heaven help us all.
One Emile Mervin is in high praise for Granger and is advising that we should not demand of Granger to produce evidence of something he denied. As an aside, how did Granger know of all the things he wrote about and things that happened, but did not know of the rigging and attacks on Indians, etc. etc? But back to Mervin. Good for him to seek proof before accusation. Can he be consistent and ask his followers, colleagues and supporters not to ask government officials about corruption when he cannot produce the evidence and of which government officials have denied involvement? And talking about corruption, can Mervin persuade Malcolm Harripaul to disclose the name(s) of persons, some former GDF soldiers who then switched to Customs and who had been stuffing shoes and socks with bribe money – and about the one whom Janet Jagan found out and gave him the boot. Like Mervin, we suspect this person is living in the USA and campaigning seriously for Granger.

I do hope and pray that when this terrorism bill is passed, by the PNC/AFC Coalition Government, that we will have a new dawn upon Guyana.
When this bill is passed, I think that we shall stop seeing criminals let loose from the lockups, and left to go back and commit more crimes again.
I think that when Granger do let loose criminals then we might be able to deem him as a terrorist, because these same criminals go back a terrorize people as we have seen.

Disappointed with President’s decision to release prisoners

Dear Editor,

In the face of rising crime and more blatant crimes committed, President Granger’s decision to continually release prisoners makes me uneasy.

Giving young people a second chance is a noble deed, but appropriate policies must be adhered to if such a sentiment would result in the benefit of individuals and the country as a whole.

Crime, in the opinion of many, is the number one problem in Guyana. Releasing more and more prisoners does not send a good message to criminals or the law-abiding society.

The public ought to know about the prisoners who have been released – their crimes, ages, gender, and of course, names, if necessary. What programmes are in place to help the released – are there officers who monitor their progress and whereabouts? Are these unconditional releases – what if these offenders re-commit these or other crimes?

After 23 years of the People’s Progressive Party, I thought Mr David Granger might be the best person at the helm of the country. I felt that a person of his military and security background would be ideal to deal with the crime craze in the country – and prayed for his election! Instead, it is sickening to read in the media about the goings-on with (the easy access to) gun brandishing. It seems crimes and criminals have spiralled with his leadership.

With Mr Granger’s planned regular release of prisoners, I can see young people saying or thinking, “leh ah do a lil ting like stealing somebody’s cellphone with a toy gunâ€Ķ ah young, and there’s a very good chance “our” President Granja would let me free if ah get ketch”!

Yes, other leaders of other countries extend this privilege to their citizens, but for President Granger to let go so many is probably another dubious record for the country of Guyana, considering the size of its population.

 

Yours truly,

Devanand Bhagwan

I am a Guyanese who is fed up of all the lies that the PPP has been telling the dumb East Indian villagers, whilst the PPP elites have raped and pillaged the country. There is nothing left for the blacks to even live off. The PPP bandits that were importing goods without paying import duties are now unable to do the same under the new government. So they making noise like hell.

YOU ARE A BLACK GUYANESE, DON'T BE ASHAMED.

For your information, my great grandmother came from a place called Rajpur in India to Guyana. My father came from Germany. I have no idea why you assume that I am black. Is it because you are half black from your dad's side?

As I recall, black people were being kicked and treated like dogs for 23 years under the PPP. But the above allegations that East Indians are being racially bullied is not based on evidence. Were are the people who were bullied? I never hear Nagamootoo or Ramjattan complained that they were bullied by black folks.
