Yes.  He knew full well that Indo Nazis like Baseman would begin beating their anti black drums.

 

This being a man who several years ago called blacks savages, opined that we are backward because Africans eat insects, that we are dirty, illiterate and seek only to steal from Indians, that we have made no positive contribution to Guyana, and that without Indians Guyana would be another Haiti.

 

This appears to be typically PPP behavior as evidenced from the Chronicle editorial, not condemned by any PPP official, which made similar comments about AfroGuyanese, without singling out the honest from the criminal.

 

They then cry and wail that the hatred that blacks have towards the PPP deprived them of parliamentary control.

 

The People have spoken.  Guyanese do NOT want the PPP to control parliament.  Its about time the PPP acknowledges this fact and stops doing their best to forment a race war.

There is nothing to suggest that the PPP gov't is discriminating against Non-East Indians. On the contrary, the PPP gov't has given a disproportionate amount of help Non-East Indian communities. You, like those racists from APNU, are deeply involved in race-baiting and hate-mongering with the sole purpose of toppling the gov't of Guyana and repacing with a Burnham-style tyranny again. Guyanese should be reminded that Granger presented papers in Santiago, Chile, charging Guyana's East Indians with terrorism. This is pure fabrication.

True.  The PPP has being doing their best to start a race war since they lost control over parliament.  How they think that this will benefit any one in a nation which is now 55% non Indian is any one's guess.

The only opinion that matters is not yours.  Its the African/mixed electorate. 95% of whom voted against the PPP and they came out in large numbers last year, when compared to 2006, to ensure that the PPP got that message.

 

What was the PPP;s response?  Doing their best to start a race war.

 

Now figure in your head why in 20 years the PPP ha snot made any inroads into the African, African-European, African-Portuguese, African-East Indian, African-Amerindian, African-Portuguese-Amerindian, and all the other combinations which have some African ancestry.

 

And please do not deny this as last year Roger Luncheon was given an opportunity to show proof that the PPP isnt anti black and his response was "I do not know" and "Africans are not qualified".

 

Despite the pathetic campaigning by APNU (they only began  weeks before the election) they romped home with over 90% of the African/Mixed votes.  This after their pathetic showing in 2006 when they lost over 20% of the votes from their base.

Face it Indo Nazi the black and mixed voters rejected the PPP last year.  You need to figure out why and stop disrespecting their preference from APNU and the AFC.

 

Nigel Hughes asked a question last year.  Why are almost all of the people who head state owned corporations, commissions and committees Indian.

 

Roger Luncheon said that he didnt know, and opined that Africans arent qualified for leadership positions.

 

Even your African stooge was not able to prove Nigel Hughes wrong.

Why all of a sudden is the AFC so powerful that they can get Africans to show hatred towards the Indo Nazi PPP.

 

Baseman they showed their hatred for IndoNazi behavior last year November and they selected APNU.

It's evident that the PPP is on this  dangerous course of whipping up racism, hatred and further divisions in our beloved Guyana. Our sweet sweet Guyana is much more divided than when Ramotar took office. The PPP is desperate to win back the Berbicians and the grass roots that are fed up with their corruption and false promises. The character assassination of opposition parliamentarians and demonizing the blackman is dangerous.

Don't blame the messenger, the videos are there for all to see. First Linden and then  Agricola. Notice how Gerhard quiet quiet since he got caught stalking the Indian man who got beat in Agricola. But don't worry, if things overbearing there is always phantomizing to straighten out the situation.

No it is YOU who need to be reminded of that.

 

GR knows full well that they were rejected, especially by the grass roots African voters and even admitted that I was rioght when he did a post mortem of why the AFC lost so mnay votes in blacks areas, compared with theire performance in 2006.

 

If the grass roots blacks didnt want GR in 2011 why would they listen to him now?

 

Contrary to what you might wnat to admit, there is widespreasd frustration among the poorer blacks against the PPP.  The more affluent blacks can find a way to live, even in light of the rampant discrimination against them, just as  similar people survived in Jim Crow USA and Apartheid South Africa.

 

Baseman stop whining about what Burnham did to Indians, because the PPP does the samething to blacks and you celebrate this.

The vast majority of AfroGuyanese are not criminals, so the fact that you call criminal behavior AfroGuyanese culture shows how racist you are.  Especially in light of the rapid increase in criminal behavioor among younger Indians, and the massive involvement that segments of the Indo business community had with African criminals. 

 

In the 70s when blacks broke into Indo homes and stole their jewelry who do you think bought it?  The same types of people who now buy cell phones which were obviously stolen, so they can resell them. 

 

Who owned the majority of the jewelry stores in Guyana in the 70s?  If these "business" people abetted crime, by acting as a market for stolen items, they are as guilty as those who did the stealing.

 

Also think of this.  Whch house will you break into if you were a thief?  One where you know that there will be lots of gold and ample cash on the premises?  Or one where the cash kept in the home is few day to day use with most of the excess kept in the bank?

 

Non Indians in the 70s who had disposable income used the banking system.  Many rural Indians in this category didnt, maybe because our branch system then was so Gtwn focussed.  Also Indians, for cultural reasons, tend to have more jewelry than blacks. 

 

Clearly then Indians were more obvious victims than blacks and it is noteworthy that today Indian criminals almost exclusively target other Indians.  You are a fraud if you deny that there arent significant numbers of Indo bandits operating in Guyana today.

Yes it is different today.  Far more crime, far more violence and now widespread use of guns which were almost unknown in the 70s.  And yes way more Indo boys are now kick down bandits, choke and rob and pirates.

 

Afro police are no more interested in Afro victims of crime than there are of Indo victims.  Indeed in more than a few instances these very cops/soldiers are involved in crime, either directly, or by renting out their guns.uniforms.  And you ought to know that ex police/army men form a solid % of the criminal populaton, using their familiarity with weapons.

Caribj,

 

You are like Burnham - you lie like a rug. While Guyanese were starving in the early eighties Burnham was telling the nation that the sixties under the PPP gov't was time of severe suffering and today we are experiencing good living. The New Nation had a section called "Good Living". The PNC never acknowledged that the economy collapsed and Guyanese were starving.

bill Ram Goat.  maybe you werent around in the 60s but I was.  We had food shortages and black outs and violence.  Seemingly life then wasnt much different from under Burnham.

 

At the end of the day both the PPP and the PNC have been racist, corrupt and incompetent and pwer drunk regimes interested only in enriching their cronies.

 

If life today is better its only because Hoyte ensured that socialism ended in Guyana and so Janet Jagan was not able to force down her Marxist Leninist Castru loving crap down the throats of Guyanese.  So there is a vibrant private sector which didnt exist in the 60s when Burnham and Jagan BOTH endorsed the nationalization of major corporations and dominance of the economy  by the state.

 

What new industries have the PPP brought into Guyana?  NONE.  The private sector largely thrives by recirculating remittances and earnings from gold.

Man you are so right about blackouts, food shortage and violence. It all happened after 1962 when the CIA and John Kennedy overthrew the PPP goverment and installed the dictatorship of Forbes Burnall. After 1964 elections we saw Guyana slowly dying a painful death. The owners of large generators generating electricty for their area were prevented from acquiring spare parts. The PNC use to bus hooligans from negro dominated areas to terrorise Indians. We went from the breadbasket of the Carribean to second to Haiti. Police and GDF members would ransacked the houses of indians searching for banned goods. Indians and negroes stood in lines for hours waiting to get a pound of sugar. I could go on and on.

I lived in the 50's and 60's in Guyana and experience the hardship of all Guyanese. Negores suffered the same fate. We had a negro family living near us and the family complained bitterly. The PNC ministers' comrades use to go up to the Corentyne to buy flour and other banned goods so the ministers could get food.

I was there on one occasion in the 70's when a couple of their comrades got into accident and died. It was like dog eat dog. Life got worse under Burnall.

Rohee tables new firearms law despite Opposition objections : â€Ķno confidence motion rendered impotentPDFPrintE-mail
Written by   
Monday, 22 October 2012 23:00

THE Parliamentary Opposition yesterday played every trick in the book to prevent Minister of Home Affairs, Clement Rohee from tabling the Firearms (Amendment) Bill for the first reading in the National Assembly, but to no avail.

At this the first sitting of the National Assembly after the two-months recess, Leader of the Opposition, David Granger, was the first to interrupt the tabling of the bill, saying that they would not permit a member in whom they have ‘no confidence’ to speak, making reference to the passage of a No-Confidence Motion against the minister prior to the House going into recess.
“I urge that this House should not proceed with any matter by a member in whom a no confidence has been expressed,” Granger said.
This position was fiercely debated by Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, who said that Minister Rohee sits in the Parliament, not as a result of the confidence of the National Assembly, but rather because he was elected by the people of Guyana and appointed by President Donald Ramotar as a Cabinet Minister in the Government.
“It is not for this House to determine whether Minister Rohee should function as an elected member or not, it is a matter for the electorate of this country,” the AG reminded.
        

Attorney  General  Anil Nandlall, in a telephone conversation last night, further stated that the fact that Minister Rohee laid the Firearms (Amendment Bill) and has voted  repeatedly on several matters in the Parliament, demonstrates beyond a doubt that the ‘no confidence’ motion passed against him by the Parliament has no binding and practical effect.

Subsequent to the passage of the No-confidence Motion against the Minister, Government moved the matter to the judiciary, and members of the Opposition are fully aware of this. The case is currently pending in the High Court.
“I urge this Assembly not to take any precipitous step and to act in a manner that would prejudice the proceedings. The letter and the spirit of the Standing Orders of this Assembly must have due regard and deference to matters that are sub judice and must not take the position that can convey the impression that it is prejudging or acting contrary to a matter that is awaiting adjudication by the court,” he said.
The stand taken by the Opposition Leader was fully supported by Khemraj Ramjattan from the AFC, who noted that motions (referring to the No-Confidence Motion) brought to the House, ought to be respected.
APNU’s Basil Williams said that the censuring of a member is permissible; however, his statement was rebutted by PPP/C’s Chief Whip, Gail Teixeira, who explained that the Opposition’s No-confidence Motion that was debated in the House called for the removal of the minister, and this differs from censuring.
“This does not necessarily come by way of a motion, it goes through a process which the House has in its mechanisms of privileges, and it has to be something that was done wrong in the House. So you cannot talk about censure of the minister for something that you may think he did outside of the House,” she explained.
She reminded that Guyana has a Proportional Representation (PR) system in which the constitution clearly sets out the procedures on how a minister should be appointed, as well as removed, and reiterated that, “you cannot censure a member of this House for anything you think he or she may have done outside of this Houseâ€Ķthese are very glib things being said in this House which have no substance and no precedence in the Standing Orders.”
The Chief Whip also told the House that the Commission of Inquiry (COI) which was established to deal with some of these matters, have thus far found no evidence to support the allegations that were made against the minister, and maintained that one cannot remove a member’s right to due process.  
Speaker of the House, Raphael Trotman, was left in a quandary and admitted that he was seeking advice from a Senior Counsel on the matter and stated that he could not prevent the first reading of the Bill. 
After heated arguments and heckling from both sides, Minister Rohee tabled the Bill. It seeks to amend the Firearms Act to create a new offence of trafficking in firearms and ammunition. (GINA)

 I defend the PPP because here are some of the the things we did not have to:

1. Stand in line for food. Now we eat what we can buy.

2. We did not have to light bottle lamps and hand lamps.

3. Rice farmers harvested their crops and got a fair price.

4. Police did not have the freedom to do what they wanted then.

5. When a police stopped a car, he did not ask you whether write or left(write is write you a citation to appear in court; left is to put $2000.00 in your driver's and hand it to him so he could keep the cash). The saying goes: 'Ge mee wan lil raise na man'.

I am sure you can remember more.
