And here is the AFC Bluffmaster in talks wit the Chinese. He is still hiding in his toilet after he bluffed about the no confidence motion. Moses will be best served by joining Gerhard and become a PNC.

For the record, I am still an Executive Member of the AFC.  

I was introduced to politics at age 4 when my family returned from East Germany to Guyana by my father.  He took me to Freedom House before I could speak English and enrolled me as a Pioneer.  Later I would join the PYO and then the PPP proper.  My father himself was introduced to politics at age 8 by my aaja (my paternal grandfather) in 1946 when the PAC (the precursor to the PPP) was formed.  My aaja was the foreman for Kitty and would open the market for PAC meetings.  My dad would sit on my aaja's shoulders and listen to the meetings, and in turn put me on his shoulders when I was 8 to listen to Dr Walter Rodney at Bourda.

My father always kept my eyes on the prize of a united Guyana.  He told me of when he campaigned for Forbes Burnham in 1953 and how the term Apaan Jhat was coined by a pro-Indian politician who opposed the PPP, and who was fighting in that constituency.  He told me of the unity of the people at the time and how much it hurt him when the PPP split in 1955.  

And even though he fought the PNC since then and I did since 1976, he never forgot his dream of a united Guyana.  He kept me grounded and did his best to stop any hatred for the "blackman" from seeping into my psyche.  He knew what at some at Freedom House would tell me and so he told me of the atrocities committed by Indians in the 60s.  He also told me of an incident in 1962 when Freedom House was mobbed and people inside brought out guns to shoot the protesters, but Dr Jagan told them to use slingshots instead, telling them that they were their brothers and sisters being misled.

And so while I spent most of my life fighting the PNC, I was never taught to hate them.  In fact, my dad and I believed in Dr Jagan's promise of a broad-based Gov't in 1992 to the extent that we thought PNC people would be invited to join.  We were deeply disappointed when that Gov't was comprised mostly of party hacks, the unfortunate results of which we so clearly see today.

After Dr Jagan died and things turned around 180 degrees, my dad and I had no compunction joining the AFC which with its PNC and PPP elements represented a return to the pre-1955 PPP.  And so today, I feel the same way about the prospect of an APNU/AFC coalition.  Such a coalition would be even more representative of the pre-1955 PPP than the AFC.

Of course, the lesson learnt from 1992 is that our national problems are not solved by the simple removal of a Gov't.  Therefore, should a coalition arise, it must not be with the sole aim of removing the PPP, but of permanently transforming Guyana's political landscape by committing to and engaging in Constitution, Electoral and Security Sector reform among other things.

I hope that persons can now gain an insight into the politics of my dad and I.  We were introduced to it as children and so all we knew was to fight for what's right without thought of position or reward.  This is what informed and guided our struggle, the same struggle I am continuing in the name of my son.

Don't let Yugi see pictures of Burnham and Jagan togetther, he might get the wrong idea

The AFC is made up of some very hardcore PPP Jaganites who left the PPP chiefly because the Jagans are no longer in power.  I just cannot see them ever having a lasting coalition with the PNC unless Mr. Moses or Van West is the Presidential or Prime Minister candidate in such coalition.

Burnham sitting next to Janet.

Bookman the question is would those Jaganite AFC members and voters stay in the party if there is a AFC-PNC coalition or would they go back to the PPP.  I feel with a leader like Comrade Moses they would stay with the party.   

Wally, history and hard experience have shown that people who desert the PPP and return to the PPP are treated as outcasts and viewed with suspicion and prevented from upward mobility within the Party.

The last prominent case was Joey Jagan who returned just before the 2011 general elections, was used by Ramotar to attack Moses at Port Mourant, and then snubbed by Ramotar after the elections. Joey wrote a letter in the press saying that he sent letters to Ramotar suggesting certain reforms but Ramotar didn't even have the courtesy to acknowledge receipt of those letters.

Before Joey there were others. They lived to regret that they ever rejoined the PPP.

I'm sure the so-called Jaganites in the AFC know that.

AFC will not lose any financial support. Any such thinking is a misnomer. Many business people want to see a change in government. Many people who are big and in front hollering PPP PPP are quietly making overtures to the PNC and AFC that is a fact, Yuh nah see even Gerhard knockin glass and boots wid granger.

A lot of these pot belly so called Uncles that Gerhard have here on this board may be breathing a sign of relief tonight and sleeping sound in their beds tonight because they now know that Gerhard is still AFC and has not joined the PNC like their race traitor TK.  Therefore he and family will not a lebelled as so called Indian (althought they may reserve and use the C word for TK)  race traitors like TK is.  It is truely disgusting just to just think about this situation.

So wuh goin on, u pissed off because GerHard din leave the AFC, I doan get the point.

Bookman I think Joey Jagan was not allowed to be a member of the PPP party. According to what Prashad wrote here a few years ago Joey Jagan was told that he can only be a member of the Civic and come under it's leader Sam Hinds.  If Prashad or some others can shed some more light on this matter it would be good.

Regardless of if you like or hate TK for joining the PNC party you have to admit the man has got some serious balls/chonas and that is what true leadership is made of.  Just take a look at the photo of Indira Gandhi standing on the China-India border looking with a pair of military binoculars.  Would Nehru do that.  Hell no. He was just a leader on paper.  That woman had serious balls/chonas and that is what true leadership is made of.  

Now Jalil why you calling Manatee Manickchand a big puss, dat is not right.
