I am now seeing how the different sides are using this for political mileage.

Is Ramjattan a developed "Spin Doctor"?

nice try @ fake equivalence bai . . . but only 1 side was using the fires as war propaganda from day one.

Prak is on point . . . cui bono? 

 But  the  strong  pull of  the  Kith & Kin factor  saw  Lindeners  abandoning  the AFC for  APNU, who   entered  into  secret  deals  with  the PPP on this issue  and  shamelessly  back pedaled once  it  became public. I don't  see anyone  from  APNU publicly  stepping  forward   to  refute  the  claim  by the  GOVT.  that they had   an  agreement  with APNU  to have  the  subsidy  phased  out.    

you lost me just about . . . right . . . T H E R E

ahem . . . there is, in fact, a "strong[er] pull" evident in YOUR post

smh

as they say,ram hit the nail on the head.the ppp have to find some new tricks these one are old.

Contradiction here.  If Lindeners are slavishly beholden to APNU for reasons of ethnic loyalty then they would have slavishly followed APNU into what ever APNU agreed to. 

'

So if Lindeners are so beholden to APNU for reasons of race why would APNU be so terrified of losing their support by being seen as sellouts?  Who else would the majority black Lindeners vote for?  If race was the only criteria to determine whether people will vote or not.

The AFC NEVER did well in Linden. So APNU had no reason to fear them.  What APNU knows is their Linden support is quite soft and that Lindeners are quite capable of sitting out elections as many did in 2006.  In 2006 the PNC lost 50% of their votes, mainly becaus e many refused to vote.  They lost 7k votes and there was a 5k drop in voter turn out.  The PNC lost one of its Linden seats as a result.

Mara the tail is wagging the dog.  This is not an APNU initiated event and the AFC lacks the power to motivate Lindeners to do what they dont want to do.

Had Ramotar done what Ramjattan suggested he should have done....however not arresting the police who allegedly fired guns on Lindeners, but placing them on no pay leave until an Inquiry released its findings.....we would not have had this problem.

Many Lindeners have no interest in seeing Ramotar so his "threat" of not going has no impact.  What this problem is creating is further evidence of the ethnically based political polarization, and more disturbingly, of the possibility that the most extreme/frustrated elements are no longer controllable by ANY party, even the one which they supposedly voyted for.

Mara thinks that the PPP got around 85% of the Indian vote only because they were the better party...and that the votes which thye AFC got in Regions 5 and 6 were because Indians supported Nigel Hughes and Trotman and were not following Nagamootoo, a fellow Indian.

Right out of the mouth of a once PPP stalwart. As I have said many times, the Jagans were operatives bent on destructions. Ramjattan said he knew how the PPP operate-he was in their camp.

My poor countrymen for 65 years are being fooled by these communists.

The man is trying to deal with the lose cannons and trojan horses in his party who have hijacked the AFC's brand and use it for narrow political gain.  The AFC has become a pawn of the PNC who use a few Indian faces to agitate the Afros against the PPP which is viewed as a mostly Indian party.  It's sad, there is a malignant cancer in the AFC which now threatens not only the AFC, but the nation as a whole.

 Quit the bull of trolling for a reason for what happened and planting it in the AFC camp!

Ramotar, unilaterally hiked the price of electricity and one can even say it was political retaliation for the loss of their 1 billion subsidy to GPL, that wasteful corp they willingly feed cash to so they can burn it. The people of linden protested.

Ramotar sent his security forces there obviously with no prior instructions to be mindful of their actions. Instead they shouted "final warnings" and shot, killed and injured protesters. Obviously things will escalate. Instead of coming in promptly with expressions of regret and seeking to remedy the situation by recalling the police and immediately asking for an inquiry, he set his propaganda machine in over drive. They enflamed the situation prior to this protest by calling the people freeloaders in the press and on social media. Now he call them extremists who shot their own to blame the police.

Of course the people got angrier and whatever happened now was borderline chaos as it always happened in populations that feel no affection for the prevailing authority. So they again open themselves up to characterizations of being extremists when the parasites in the Administration sit in gleeful satisfaction that they are winning politically.   They could have stopped this by meeting with the people. This is an opportunistic, rotten crooked and necrotic administration.

All of a sudden Jagdeo would have brought a speedy resolution. What a nice way to shift the role of the AFC in all of this.

LISTEN TO THAT NEEMAKARAM, CRABDAAG SPEWING HIS SHIT. RUMJATTAN IS EITHER DRUNK OR IS EXTREMELY A SHAMELESS MAN WITHOUT MORAL, INTEGRITY AND DECENCY!!!  SHAME SHAME SHAME HIS HOE STARTED THIS AND NOW HE WANTS TO BLAME OTHERS. LISTEN TO THIS JACKASS. HOW MUCH MORE OF A NEEMAKARAM AND CUNUMUNU CAN ONE GET!!! PEOPLE LIKE THESE WILL SELL THEIR FAMILIES FOR WEALTH, POWER AND STATUS!!!!

such poignant display of cutting edge wit! I need to compile these to see what gems lie therein that I have missed!

apparently you got premature ejaculation and stopped viewing @ 0.40

continue nah . . . his statement @ 2:46 is especially for U

Ramjattan spun a google. He said that he can't prove it, that he doesn't know for sure that the PPP agents were involved and then he proceeded to make the point that they were involved.     

as you nervously wipe the sweat from your brow . . . knuckles 'white' . . . teeth chattering . . . fingers crossed (both hands)

...and then you appeared as a replica of Frankenstein, with your bloody toothless gums...and proceeded to scare the children...as you sucked on their entrails.

Imitation is, indeed, the best form of flattery

but don't do a Fareed; humble your mediocre self and pay 'tribute' . . . 

quote:

From all its rhetoric since the protest began, the AFC has barefacedly demonstrated its proclivity to capitalize on such situation for political mileage. By such callous actions, they have once again confirmed their disregard for the hardships that have come to bear on the law abiding people of Linden following the protest which the Party instigated. Further, the actions taken by Mr. Ramjattan and the AFC over the last few weeks can only be viewed as explicit support for the disregard of law and order following the burning of several buildings in Linden and the support for extortion by criminal elements meted out against the citizens there.

It will be interesting to see if the AFC will lose their supporters after this blunder in Linden when they immaturely supported terrorism, slow fiah mo fiah and incited 3 persons to their demise. 

Is this all you gat? No need to imitate you. Ronald does it better. 

"Incited demise" Is that a politically correct term for PPP shooting up people right?...yuh would change your tune when the "Incited demise" spead to your hood though....  

Prakky said he believes State agents are doing the mischief in Linden even though he can't prove it. How can a lawyer make such an absurd statement?

He said by an indoctrination strategy on tactics of diversion and subterfuge that capitalizes on the disbelief of the population that one can do something seemingly harmful to ones cause to gain an advantage. He said he once saw that illustrated as useful tactics from the PPP agents at freedom house. He give you an example. He said he cannot prove it but knows it is part of their bag of political tricks so he does not put it past them in practice.

He started off by saying that he doesn't have proof and ended by saying that's it's PPP agents. Go listen to it again.

He can on his own by process of elimination posit a conclusion.

Those fools are playing politic. And their citizens are stupid enough to buy into the tomfoolery.

The PPP was a toothless tiger during the PNC years in office. All they did was called strikes in the sugar estates, launched peaceful demonstrations in G/t that were met with violence from gov't thugs, and struggle to get a few newsprints to publish their propaganda. They had no access to TV, Radio, or printed press such as Kaieteur News.

These talks of PPP agents by Prakky is nothing but a figment of his own imagination.  One did not have to go to Freedom House to learn that Nazis agents burned the German parliament and placed the blame on Communists, most notably Georgi Dimitrov. Ramjattan's attempt to be politically persuasive is disastrous.

baseman one day you say that APNU is "responsible" and that it is the AFC which instigated the protests which forfced APNU to cover themselves against the sell out accusation.

The next day you claim that they are a PNC pawn.

afros dont like the PPP and you know this very well and this fact wa sknown before the election which merely confirmed that they would vote for a dog or a pig if it meant sending a message to the PPP that they consider them to be racists.

Well just suppose that Ramotar did what ramjattan said he ought to have done.  Then the AFC would ahve looked quite silly if Ramotar sat down with the protesters and was able to get them to stop.

too late for that now.

Well you guys are blaming the AFC when you have no proof either.

What we all know is that the police who act as the agents of the Ministry of Home Affairs killed people.
