Food for thought and Action

FOOD FOR THOUGHT AND ACTION
Walter Rodney died for nothing I suppose. The fact that WPA is willing to bond with the PNC is absolutely repulsive to my simple mind set. I must admit Dr. Clive Thomas and Dr. David Hinds are honorable men. However, I simply neither fathom nor accept their thinking in this instance. I do not suppose they are suffering from amnesia. They should be able to recall the PNC violated numerous members and supporters of the WPA. Least you forgot I and other similarly inclined are still here to remind you and/or if you did not know I am here to inform you that Walter Rodney and others died because of tyranny. They died because the Guyanese People were still oppressed. The enemies of the people are cloaked in similar ethnicity. They died because Guyanese people simply refused to extricate themselves from an illegal regime which masqueraded as those having the best interests of the nation foremost in their thoughts and actions. They did not make their transition to the spiritual realm of existence as a result as death by misadventure.
It is quite possible, either Ming or Murray might be able to muster a fight as the Presidential Candidate of a coalition movement. Anyone would be more attractive than the relics being rolled out in the recent past. However, PNC dinosaurs such as Robert Corbin, Hamilton Green and David Granger are simply too much baggage to stomach and to overcome. They must be expunged from the PNC if the party is to become relevant. Aren’t there any forward thinking people within the ranks of the PNC? I find Mr. Eusi Kwayana even at this advanced age far more an attractive candidate than the entire rooster of the PNC and the PPP. Why not nominate a female? Any female born in Guyana would be better than the choices spoken of by the memberships of the old boys clubs to date.
The development of the rural communities is a most pressing issue than tricksters running amuck in Guyana. It is obvious. It is clear as the sun shines Village Administration has regressed dramatically. James MacFarlane Corry, Henry Aaron Britton. W. Harold Hinds and other stalwarts of the Village Chairmen’s Conference would be appalled at the conditions in the rural districts. The business of Paramountcy of the Party has bedeviled the village leaders. The rural communities have not recovered from a series of ridiculous enactments since 1966. The government administrations have crushed the rural elite. The descendants of the shareholders of the plantations have for the most part abandoned their adopted homeland. The blame falls squarely upon the shoulders of the politicians of the PNC and the PPP and their supporters. This business of blindly voting because of the ethnicity of the leader of the parties is the venom which undermines development of the rural communities. Thus politicians singing the tune of nation building are simply expressing flowery language with flat notes, unfulfilled promises and no harmony – racial and/or otherwise.
I believe if the voters have any sense and respect for their descendants they would sweep the nation clean of the PPP and the PNC. They are copycats of each other. They have done nothing of note during the last 57 years at the held. They will accomplish nothing in the future. It’s time to move forward. How many more years must elapse before you act regarding the continual state of retardation in Guyana? Guyanese must take a long look at themselves and their communities. Everywhere or so it seems are bloodshed, and petty criminal activity, and high unemployment. Common sense dictates whenever and wherever there is high unemployment there is an abundance of petty criminal activity and prostitution.
The beneficiaries of illegal narcotics trade should be caught and shipped to the USA where they would face the full weight of the American justice system. I am referring to the occupants of the highest offices in the land. The fellows are known to have connections in Queen’s, New York.
Kellwan Lall ought to be in a dog house. Why that is criminal allowed to supervise a ministry of the Government of Guyana? He should be convicted and housed at Mazaruni. Politicians are obviously above the law in Guyana. Why is there one standard for the politician and another for lesser known Guyanese citizens? I am quite certain I read it somewhere – where there is no law there is no freedom. If law makers are law breakers why have laws in the first place? Whenever legislatures are allowed to violate the laws of a nation, it is certainly indicative of a barbarian society. I suppose numerous savages occupy seats in the Guyanese legislature. What is worst - is Guyanese people cast their ballots in support of such nonsense for the better portion of 57 years? Fellow Guyanese aren’t you sick and tired of hiding under the cover of ethnicity? What benefits have you and the community, in which you dwell, derived from such practice? Recently, I encountered a photograph displaying the image of Jagdeo at a community meeting at Port Mourant. I was so shocked at the condition of the community. It’s in a worst state than in the early 1970s when I last visited the village. Of the locations I was familiar only Skeldon seems to have vastly improved in recent years. I believe that due to the fact it’s a border town. Therefore, Corriverton has benefitted from the trafficking across the Corentyne River. I suppose with improved infrastructure linking Lethem to Georgetown and to metropolitan centers in Brazil by road, that border location will also prosper. Whatever results in the aftermath of election 2011 the choice is simply that of the people of Guyana? They must take the full weight if the fail to change their pattern of behaviour. It is obvious. They are not oblivious to continuing problems plaguing the nation. They are required to make sure that their needs are addressed. Failure to do so is simply saying they do not give a damn about themselves and the future of their descendants in Guyana. What else could it be?
