ANTI-GOVERNMENT VIOLENCE IN 1963
http://www.guyana.org/features/guyana...

Cheddi Jagan had misplaced faith in British justice.

Jagan felt that Britain would do, in the end what was right. Jagan's bottom line was that Guyana should trust the British to be honest brokers for a peaceful solution.

Jagan at the time however was totally unaware that the US President John F Kennedy was applying extensive pressure on the British to rig an election victory for Forbes Burnham.

President Kennedy therefore flatly ignored detailed reports by the CIA emphasising that Dr Jagan was the right person to lead Guyana. The CIA's insistence that Forbes Burnham was a dangerous choice fell on President Kennedy's deaf ears.

PROTESTS AGAINST THE SANDYS' "FORMULA"


http://www.guyana.org/features/guyana...

Britain covertly manipulated the democratic process in British Guiana (now Guyana) in the run up to its independence in 1966. On the face of it the conference, held in London in October 1963, was designed to confirm the constitutional future for what was then British Guiana.

Publicly Britain encouraged the country's Prime Minister Dr Cheddi Jagan - who had been fairly elected in 1961 - and the leader of the opposition Linden Forbes Burnham to agree terms for independence.


However, behind the scenes, the documents reveal that the British were working to a different outcome - to ensure that agreement was never reached.

The British, under pressure from the Kennedy administration which feared Dr Jagan's Marxist leanings, were determined that he would not lead the country to independence.

Do you find it odd that Guyanese spend most of their time arguing about shyte that happened decades ago so as to make their present day political choices?

 

WTF does 1964 have to do with 2015 besides history?

 

Are we gonna invade England to teach dem limeys a lesson for screwing us in 1966? America?

Guyanese choices today are based strictly on race.  I think it would be a very small number that vote for the PPP because of what the British and Kennedy did.  Some of the details presented in the clips were new to Dr. Fenton Ramsahoye (sp?) so the clips do bring new learning.

Apan Jhaat has returned in the form of discussions. Somehow, the conclusion arrived at is that it came with old Indian people and nutured and thriving after 177 years.

 

Those films are to reinforce to current conclusion that the British and Yanks rigged the elections again.

 

Historically, Guyana has not move one iota. Lots a shaking and huffing but we ain goan anywhere. Is like we all in rocking chairs, lot of shaking and huffing. But we ain moving. Simply bcz, we have too many that wont let the past ress.

I don't think Guyana is as relevant to the US and England as back in the 60s.  I think they are more concerned about stability now.  Why did they help Cheddi in 1992 if they had such great dislike for the PPP?

Yes.  I figured that after my reply.

That's why a simple 100-day plan is mystifying. It's only Day 29 since Granger was sworn-in as President but people want all the promises fulfilled already.

And some folks are still talking bout 28 years of PNC rigged elections.

How does this made all of you who live in these countries feel. Many of our problems originated in the policies of the U.S. and UK.?

I think that the U.S. did not think that the PPP would win the elections. They thought that the WPA and/or the PNC would be in power. No evidence to prove this yet.

This sort of maneuvering happens all over the world with the US being in the centre of it. They spend billions ,at the expense of the tax payers, to get the job done.
