The United States Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo has instructed the Department of State to take action against individuals who undermine Guyana’s democracy.

US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo

This was revealed by Pompeo yesterday in a press briefing. As the Secretary of State congratulated Guyana’s neighbour, Suriname for the culmination of their elections and a peaceful transition of power to a new national assembly, he stated “In contrast, it’s now been four months since Guyana’s election, long past due for a peaceful transition of power.”

He noted that the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the Organisation of American States (OAS) have certified the recount results. Those results show that the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) has won the general election with 233,336 valid votes, while A Partnership for National Unity + Alliance for Change (APNU+AFC) trails behind with 217,920 valid votes.

“They should get on with it,” Pompeo said, as the tabulation of the recount results was completed since early June.

“I’ve instructed my department,” he added, “to ensure those who undermine Guyana’s democracy are held accountable.”

Kaieteur News recently interviewed a Washington-based political consultant, José Cárdenas who said that the US is likely to impose sanctions on specific persons who are complicit in thwarting the will of the Guyanese people. Government and Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) officials are likely subjects of such sanctions.

Cárdenas had said that if the situation gets worse, and the conspiracy is discovered to be government-wide, then sanctions are likely to be sectoral and far-reaching.

No declaration can be made at this juncture, as the recount case is in Court. It was heard yesterday by the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) and ruling(s) are expected on Wednesday.

Look how Jagan's political heirs are salivating at the thought of Uncle Sam punishing their fellow citizens.  This is the same Uncle Sam that kept Cheddi out of office for more than two decades but now his so called comrades are latching on to every stupid word Pompeo utters about Guyana.  This is shameless and unprincipled behaviour.  

Tota, thanks for posting that. I was just about to post something similar.

No. In bygone years the US intervened for the wrong reasons, ie to remove a democratically elected PPP government simply because Cheddi Jagan's ideology was not Uncle Sam's ideology.

This time the US is intervening for the right reason, to remove a PNC-dominated government that lost in elections certified as free, fair and credible by reputable international observers, but which doggedly insists on retaining power.

The US wants the democratically elected PPP/C to form the next government. Not one single action of the 1992-2015 PPP/C government was "communistic" in any way, shape or form. Uncle Sam knows that.

That's the dialectical difference which Jagan himself would have pointed out. US helped him to get power in 1992.

It is not power the PNC is hanging onto, it is the right of Afro-Guyanese to survive under a PPP government. They have enough to hang dem, surprised they have not used it so far. Maybe it is the last declarations wid the words, "we ain leaving duh wah yuh want."

Dem Boys Seh…

Some people in de HAP-New +HAY-Eff-See think that de Americans bluffing. Dem nah tek it serious when de Americans warned that there will be serious implications for people and dem family who benefit from electoral fraud. Dem think dat was only fat talk or rum shop gyaff.

De Americans send a message to all dem who planning fuh rig dem way back into guvment.

But dem bannas in de Coalition feel that dem could get away with de rigging, de frigging and de jigging. And dem had some elements supporting dem and dem nasty ways.

Yesterday, de Big Man in de State Department, de Pompeo man, who is in charge of foreign relations all over the world fuh he country, signal that is time fuh heavy manners. He nah playing nah mo. He nah talking nah mo. Is action time.

De man mek it known that he dun pass instructions to de State Department dat all those who undermine democracy gun feel de heat.

If yuh don’t know this is the last stage. Talks done.

De pressure coming down. Playtime done. De music gun now start.

De State Department does start with visas and then move to dem people family. Den the attention would start on the bank accounts and properties and if you does do business, it gun stop. A one day trip to New York or Miami not happening because the visas cancelled.

Is no longer just about who benefitting from de rigging. De hammer can now fall pun all them who undermining democracy – dis mean it can fall pun some ah dem in GEE-CUM, plenty in de guvment, nuff ah dem in de Coalition and some ah dem wha signing petition for de Rig-adier to stay in power by all means.

All who been trying fuh bring back de Coalition through de back door gun get a rude awakening – through de front door.

All ah dem wha deh pun social media dishonestly calling fuh de Rig-adier fuh get swear in gun get a surprise when dem and dem family discover that dem can’t travel no more to dem western countries. And when dem go fuh collect dem money wha dem family does send fuh dem, dem gun find out dat it freeze even though is summertime.

De Americans done gat dem list. And de names dem miss, dem boys gun supply.

Dis na lang time. All who doing dutty tings and trying to sell off or give to dem friends, nuttin don’t hide for long.

Talk half and watch how sanctions does mek some people ketch sense because de Pompeo man call de bluff.

All dem sey, is like Granger ain leaving, suh sanctions pan he ppl dem. But dem sey dey doan mind it.
