Meh Neighba used to say " Facts and Figga nah LIE"   Preach the Gospel Truth Mr Jagdeo but then take the back seat.

Nehru Bhai

Dont be fooled by the AFC boys about Jagdeo. We see past presidents including Bill Clinton taking a role in ensuring that their part's achievements are highlighted. Jagdeo is a thorn in the side of the opposition PNC/AFC party. He went toe to toe with the opposition PNC/AFC and threw them to the curb and mashed them up.

Jagdeo still has his role to play and is doing the right thing. He is feared by the opposition till today and rightfully so. This is the president who put Guyana back on it's feet after 28 years of brutal PNC dictatorship rule.

The PNC and AFC finally merged and it is Jagdeo who will once again mash them up.

Yugi, I agree that Mr Jagdeo is relevant and his experiences is need to benefit the Guyanese People. However, he should not be seen as the force behind the Govt, that is Uncle donald's Job.

Contrast this lack of action on the drug front with the following facts. Dozens of persons are either on remand or in jail for incest; dozens of persons are either on remand or in jail for domestic abuse. Citizens in this country get hauled before the courts for all kinds of criminal violations, but the washers of money and the cocaine owners remain untouched. Is there an explanation? Yes, and it is a simple one.

People in Guyana get prosecuted for a silly, unimportant thing like cross-dressing but somehow the law misses out on the drug lords and the washing machine owners who launder money. Even the importation of squibs gets more police attention. Last year Christmas, KN sports journalist Rawle Welch and I were in Charlestown heading toward KN offices when we saw a huge commotion in the street. A semi-homeless guy had sold squibs to an undercover policeman.

So why are the washers of money and the cocaine traders untouchable? Because politics is the intersection. The drug lords have powerful political connections, and the police are fully conscious that the untouchables must not be touched. It looks like the Americans are finally awakened from sleeping in that large edifice on Young Street opposite the seawall.

The American reticence on drug trafficking in Guyana has caused widespread consternation among political observers. How could the Americans be so blind to the political angles? It had to be the sea breeze that has induced sleep over the past ten years.
The American Ambassador told the media that even if Guyana is given an extension to comply with money-laundering operations by the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force at their meeting in Nicaragua, there still may be sanctions against Guyana, because there has been no successful prosecution of money launderers. The Ambassador must be saying to himself; “God, not even one.”

One of the most barefaced aspects of governmental inaction against the cocaine business in this country is the acceptance by the political authorities and the police of targeting the couriers rather than the bosses. The couriers plead guilty and out of fear for their lives, they endure their four-year incarceration. Research would show many of these messengers are ordinary folks without any kind of wealth.

This columnist and another media colleague did an investigation into the assets of some of these messengers. One of the persons we looked at was the employee of Mr. Gerry Gouveia. After he was charged, Mr. Gouveia set up a committee to investigate how his employee managed to avoid detection by his company’s mechanism. A lawyer told me that Mr. Gouveia was being flippant and funny when he chose a very young lawyer with no experience to head the inquiry.

The attorney told me the young man was chosen because of his name only – James Bond.
I was laughing my head off. I did a column on the issue after Mr. Gouveia’s employee was arrested and the committee of Bond and a funny gentleman named Roshan Khan was set up. And though I wrote that the composition of the committee was unusual, it never occurred to me that Gouveia may have indeed been cynical in that he chose Bond because he is named after the world’s most admired and successful secret agents.

My research showed that almost ninety-nine percent of the couriers are poor guys trying to make a buck or two. One of them said that he had financial problems in the home. There has been no effort to provide “safe houses” for these small fishes, so the sharks can be netted. So you take your jail, while your super-rich boss stays in the trade, and continues to do his laundry business all over Guyana.
And of course, certain politicians visit the laundries often, but if you examine the parcels they are leaving with they contain paper not clothes.

A few months ago, I published a KN column captioned. “The American Embassy in Guyana is not doing its work.” Has it finally come to the reality that the Government of Guyana is not going to move against the drug traffickers and money launderers because these two venalities intersect with power and politics in a confluence of staggering illegal wealth, where the mansions and swimming pools make you think Guyana is a post-modern industrialized global giant?

Jagdeo is the biggest crook in the history of Guyana. The man even forged his marriage. He robbed his divorced wife. As a woman I can never respect this wife abuser Jagdeo. He is evil and wicked. 

Suh yuh a woman now. Make up yuh damn mind, dont stay on the fence.

Did you help to okan Jagdeo robbery of his ex wife?

Crapoo goan jump out of his mouth one day. I hope is soon. Then all these thieves on here goan c him can't speak lies anymore. EXPOSED like the ppl from NICIL.

Cheddie Jagan's legacy of fools in high places.

12 years now a CRAPO like you been hoping fior that. Keep DREAMING.

Nehru, former President Jagdeo has every right to share his concern among the people without overshadowing President Ramotar. After all, it was a public PPP rally, and Jagdeo is still a member of the PPP. Jagdeo is not a retired former president; he is a working ex-president. The bell criers on this board want to preach the gospel about Saint AFC/APNU, and bare false witness that the PPP is the devil. You should analyze that before you speak. 

U will share in his demise in the end-tell me when satan's advocates ever get the upper hand of God.

U sleep wid evil, u inherit its wrath.

It is the rights of APNU to form the government. It is a tough job to wrestle the hearts and minds of the indoes captured by lies and distortions. The American government can jail everyone in the PPP-they have enough sh,t on them.

After 2 years in hibernation, Barath Jagdeo is back on the scene and telling it like it is---no pu$$yfooting---no beating around the bush----he is reminding Guyanese how disastrous and destructive the PNC and their politicians were.

Of course the dirty ones, the dirty PNC Indians, would have you believe David Granger and his cohorts are angels---well, they can lick Granger's balls all they want. But it is refreshing to see Barath tell the truth.

Rev

It must be noted that you are still using racist views on GNI. The site managers allow you to spew racist views on Afro-Guyanese. 

Nehru:

Uncle Ramo has to stay above the fray and be presidential. It is OK for Barath to fire away. And he is right to castigate the PNC/AFC. Jagdeo cannot allow himself and accomplishments to be smeared by those rotten scoundrels in the PNC/AFC and the dirty PNC Indians who lick their balls.

Rev

I agree. Mr Jagdeo did MANY GREAT things for Guyana despite the Opposition trying their BEST to DESTROY the Country. He cleaned the FILTH that were hired to DESTROY Guyana.

What a big joke. He is the man behind puppet Donald Ramotar. 

Nehru:

Barath had his faults---nobody is perfect--- and he rubbed many people the wrong way---but give jack his jacket---give the man his rightful dues----he was a successful leader and president of Guyana.

The PNC/AFC and the dirty PNC Indians can BLAME all they want---they can complain, condemn and criticize all they want---but the truth is the truth----and the truth is Guyana has made resounding progress over the past 21 years under the PPP.

And the PPP are now doing the right thing---going acorss Guyana and reminding the Guyanese people about their wonderful accomplishments.

Rev

 Everyone knows the PPP full of thieves. 15% East Indians will vote APNU and they will win the election. Your racist messages will not help. 

Can Jagdeo run for reelections again now that 2 years have passed? He knew how to deal with the mo fiah slow fiah crew more resolutely than Ramoutar.

The constitution says a president is limited to 2 consecutive terms.

But Jags can pull a Putin---he can come back again if he wants.

But let Ramo enjoy his 2 terms.

After Ramo's 2 terms---Jags can return and help exterminate the PNC thugs and dirty PNC Indians who are trying to create havoc in Guyana.

During his first 2 terms Jags and Gajraj did a great job exterminating the filth.

Rev

Mr Jagdeo was the head of the filth underworld. That's why we call him the corrupt leader in Guyana's history. Take a hike fool!

The day, he do dat, indoes goan get some good blows and Jagdeo has three places to choose from, India, Russia and America. He nah goan stay and tek blows. Yuh really think blackman stupid.

dIS TIME NAH LAANG TIME DIS NAH DEH BEFORE TIME. the filth will be exterminated again!!!

What an ignorant man you are. 

And you so eloquent Gal.
