Notably, this was just one of the dozens who came forth to narrate the bleak circumstances that plagued the country during that era in the country’s history.
At the Third Biennial Congress of the PNC (August, 1979), Burnham exclaimed, “We are a party of peace, but we are not pacifists, and literally and metaphorically, we promise to match steel with steel and fire with fire…”

Rodney was not the only victim during era of terror politics — CoI report
The grim realities of the “Burnham Dictatorship” during which hundreds of Guyanese were constantly harassed, threatened or assaulted – and some murdered – for merely being supporters of the political Opposition finally came to light in a comprehensive investigation conducted by a renowned international three-member panel and categorically compiled in the Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry (CoI) Report.
According to report, Dr Rodney’s brother Edward Rodney in his testimony identified that the Guyana Police Force was acting as an arm of the ruling party; that the Police were being used to break-up strikes against people who were standing in lines and being unruly or waiting to get bread, kerosene and the Mounted Police were used to threaten and intimidate.
the PPP commission's report adds little to what we already know
the COI's imprimatur has little value since most dispassionate observers understand that its members were hungry belly political actors in a stage-managed PPP circus pimping Walter Rodney's memory for the cheapest and most ignoble of purposes

The opposition here doesn't really care about anything other than pass transgressions so they could irritate us by constantly complaining.

I really wanted to forget about the old political rhetoric of the past and look into the future. But the more I think of the future of Guyana, the more I want to look into the past. Because it seems brighter.
Burnham, Chung ,Jagan and Janet duo ,Reid ,Hoyt etc are all dead, Jagdeo,lost the election and it's the same tune playing, Guyana ,needs new producers,lyrics and singers to make the audiences happy.
Now that the Rodney inquest is over ,will the current government press criminal charges and arrest all that were involved. President Granger held a top post then,when PNC was ruling.

Build a jail around Burnham's grave. Norman McLean is now a PPP soupie and the House of Israel last living founder is now a PPP MP. Most of the others are dead.
Base, In fact, it is like we never left the 80's since May 11 , 2015!!!!!!!!!!
I made a mistake by mentioning Jagdeo loosing the elections, it's Ramoutar. Thanks.
Navin Chandrapaul was forced to leave and died with grief and pains.Nagamootoo run from the PPP because he wasn't the nominee. Now that he is Prime Minister, his dream come true, it's seems he has no vice .

What does that have to do with race!!
My apologies. Allow me to spell it out.
In your post that "Burnham and many of his cohorts may be dead, but their beliefs and philosophy is very much alive and around." are you referring to said belief and philosophy that Guyana should be ruled by one ethnic group only? If not, what beliefs and philosophy do you mean?
