Baseman: "Caribj bai, I don't think you understand my position. I have no issue with Afros individually in any paty. I also want to give the PNC what's due and have them as an alternative to the PPP. However, with the PNC/GDF alliance very much intact, reinforced by events in 2011, it's too bitter a pill to swallow. I do believe the PNC is the legit alternative to the PPP. I wish you and the PNC leadership would understand the apprehension of the Indian masses."
======================
It is a a complete lie that the army is powerful. The army has about 300 fighting men today. The drugs/PPP/business people militia has many more and is a lot more equipped than the GDF. Mr Baseman is playing the Indo victim card so he can enjoy the economic benefits from his supremacist connections in Guyana, while at the same time they oppress poor Afro- and Indo-Guyanese.
In Guyana today the PPP has complete control of the GDF and police by paying off the top ranks and middle ranks. The GDF top officers are paid millions annually and the arrangement is for the legal system to turn a blind eye to the wrongs they commit. These officers commit sexual assaults and bully many regularly. In Burnham's days the army was undermined by a strong group of Afro-Guyanese connected to Rodney. Today all the officers are paid by Indo "business men" and the PPP government. This is why the small man continues to face crimes and no one is there to help them.
Mr Baseman is damn liar!
