Divisionism in the Political Landscape

The trick of the enemy to assail and endanger the right of Blackmen - Frederick Douglass
Aren’t you sick and tired of shenanigans of Forbes Burnham, Desmond Hoyte, Robert Corbin, Ravi Devi, Cheddi Jagan, Janet Rosenberg-Jagan, Bharat Jagdeo, Hamilton Greene, Samuel Hinds, Roger Luncheon, Prem Misir, Donald Ramotar, Moses Nagamootoo, Frank Anthony, Clement Rohee, Ali Baksh, Reepu Daman Persaud, Henry Greene (Commissioner of Guyana Police Force), Gary Best (Chief of Staff, Guyana Defence Force), Leslie Ramsammy, Kellawan Lall, Robert Persaud and others of similar antics? Their malicious behaviour and recklessness have reduced Guyanese to a society of Guys-upon-their-knees. I charge for the majority of the last 57 years it has been one administration of angst by the hideous cutthroats masquerading as political leaders in the Colony of British Guiana and the politically independent nation known as Guyana - in short it has been pure hell upon earth - in the land of my birth. I find truly remarkable. That Guyana is a nation in which its currency, the dollar, has been most atrociously devalued within the last 40 years. The Guyanese dollar now possesses similar value to currency used in the board game known as monopoly. One US dollar is valued at some 200 Guyanese dollars. Yet the Guyanese electorate is dumb enough and blind enough but more so racist enough to cast a blind eye on the most depressing circumstances which dominates their daily lives. They not only re-elect the pirates - they anoint them national heroes - it seems like every place and every institution is named in their honour. I have not witnessed any shred of evidence supporting the billions of words spoken and written claiming that those modern Guianese political actors have any love for the people and the state of Guyana. I am confident not one of those misfits would place his or her life in jeopardy for the people and the state of Guyana. That will never ever happen as long as you blindly and religiously support those masters of division and conquer. The politicians do not want to see the people of Guyana unite. The politicians are masters of the colonial administration. They even drive your butts up the wall far more recklessly than any governor and his administration have ever done in colonial Guyana.
The politicians realize that if ever the people of Guyana unite it’s his butt that will feel the fire. Thus the politicians continue to fan the flames of ethnicity. It’s high time - that old con games are retired by the people of Guyana. That’s for sure.
What is Guyanese producing? What are the communities in the rural districts producing? I am positive, and absolutely so; they were far more productive in 1946 than they are today and/or at any point during the period December 1964 - July 1, 2010. Guyana is evidently a consumer nation. At this rate, this millennium will end and Guyana will be in the same boat up a shit’s creek as it is during the last 60 years. The cry today must be as it was in 1888. Reform Reform Reform
I believe 70 percent of the electorate must be the figure which allows candidates to claim offices. This figure is very likely unattainable in a multiethnic society. Thus, a coalition would then be necessary in such a situation. It would allow for a more accurate representation of the people than this so-called European fashioned democratic process which has produced nothing but a climate of ethnic hostility and fear.
Janet Jagan was such a force of divisionism in the political landscape. Her expressions were all aimed to alienate people. Her analyses were for the most part wrapped and blatantly anti-African. One has only to read her commentary on the leading African independent thinkers especially Eusi Kwayana and Forbes Burnham. Janet Jagan makes me very sympathetic to Forbes Burnham and Cheddi Jagan.
I know my mother will for give me for making such a statement. Mother realize I always aspire to be truthful as best I can...
Clearly, I really did not find the opinions of the interviews in the book, The People's Progressive Party of Guyana, 1950-1992: an oral history as edited by Frank Birbalsingh and published in London by Hansib Publications, in 2007, at all outlandish, except for the raving racial venom spewed by Janet Jagan against Burnham and Kwayana and the cowardly statements of Brindley Benn. The analyses and/or recollections of Rory Westmaas and Moses Bhagwan were most impressive. I thought Papa Eusi Kwayana and Papa Ram Tiwari took the high road. I felt they were both annoyed and/or disgusted with the politics and its results in the land of our births but did not want to burn any bridges. I wished the interviewees had all come out with their guns blazing and let the chips fall where they may.
Eusi kwayana is a human being. He is entitled to various human relations and expressions...but I am dam sure puzzled - why upon earth would Eusi Kwayana want to be a Gandhi? What would a curly haired Blackman want to be identified with a straight-haired Blackman is beyond my simple mind? Why does Janet Jagan think Africans ought to use Gandhi as a measuring rod? What kind of idiots did Janet Jagan take Black people for? Why did it not occur to Janet Jagan that Eusi Kwayana has dread locks? Also, he is some what acquainted with the story of the people of the African continent. Janet Jagan took all black people for Negroes. She was inclined to accept Africans were ignorant of their history and culture before we were caught, kidnapped, brought and enslaved on the plantation in the Americas. Janet Jagan was quite frankly an opportunistic human being. She rode the coat tails of Cheddi Jagan.
Cheddi Jagan was rather fortunate to ride to prominence upon the deaths of several persons at Plantation Enmore in June 1948 following upon political savvy and advocacy of Eusi Kwayana, Balram Singh Rai, and Ogle and others on the East Coast of Demerara in the November 1947 elections.
