Its not about me it is about your rotten PPP. If you can deduce from my posts that I am a bitter man you is a see far man. You mussy gat more than four eyes.

Attacking me demonstrates you cannot really defend your shallow ideas and or a shallow, uncaring, evil and vindictive government like the PPP.

I have nothing but empathy for you.

Danyael:

* It is obvious that you are deeply agitated and disturbed by the vast wealth elite members of the PPP have amassed during their time in office.

* BUT THAT IS POLITICS DANYAEL---99% of politicians are hustlers, scam artists----they have their hands in the cookie jar.

* Listen Danyael! If your beloved PNC/AFC were to ever occupy the executive branch they would be even  more crooked, corrupt, and disingenuous than the PPP.

BOTTOM LINE:

* The PPP has feasted on the MILK & HONEY----their elite politicians have amassed great wealth----but Guyana has also experienced decent economic growth during the PPP years in office.

Rev

This is complete bull, Guyana has not experienced any growth. Guyana has become a NARCO state under the careful cultivation by your PPP.

Guyana receives 300 Million in remittances year over year it has become a pseudo welfare state.

The GDP growth numbers that Ashni Singh presents are all bogus and many persons have questioned those figures which the PPP has failed to answer any of them on. So the facts are that the PPP has taken Guyana backwards not forward as your shallow and weak assertions claim.

Rev, why don't you shut yu rass, You are the PPP version of Mr. TK, who is the PNC version.

All you all want is position and soup with NO work.

Look carry yu backside from the place.

You know its interesting when an overseas based Guyanese goes back for ojne week and then returns claiming to be an expert.

The experts on Guyana are those WHO LIVE THERE.  130,000 of them fled between 2002 and 2012.  So everybody goes to the USA, you will say.  But 80,000 of those emigrants DID NOT GO TO THE USA.  I suspect that as many as 60,000 of thyem fled to neighboring Caribbean and South American countries.  Because the USA attracts way more Guyanese than does Canada.

So why did as many as 60,000 people flee Guyana to go live in another poor country?

Rev,

You seem to have a lot of inside info and I have a question regarding suicide prevention in Guyana.

Why are [neutral] NGOs regarding suicide prevention  are discouraged from operating in Guyana ?

A case in point, an NGO operated in GY for six years and was making progress with dropouts returning to school and graduating, some are now teachers.

The NGO even had training sessions for hundreds of students and youth from communities, who  established peer counselling groups.

Now the 'big man' in that region sees fit to demand  a large 'fee' from the NGO to continue working in HIS territory. The same youth parents voted for the 'big man'.

When the NGO saw the 'fee' would be better spent assisting the youth and try explaining to the 'big man', he was adamant about his payment or else.

When the fee was not paid, he vindictively told those at schools and medical centres not to deal with the NGO. Thus shutting down the program.

When the matter was taken to the MOH/MOE, the NGO was told its a local matter and take it to the local authorities, the same people who were demanding the 'fee'.

What became of the Guyana National Suicide Prevention Committee and what action is in place by the GOG to assist the large numbers of youth who are committing suicide ?

The PPP government can only stall for so long, elections will eventually be held and this matter will be brought forward by the people who had experienced this evil, while their children continue to die.

Your comments Rev...no BS like your other postings.   

HM_Redux:

* You sound like donkey cart economist Tyrone Kimraj.

* Listen! Since you are such a rabid complainer, why don't lodge complaints with the IMF, the World Bank and the Caribbean Development Bank ? Those institutions have all praised the positive growth rates Guyana has experienced the past decade.

Rev

rev quit your nonsense............

Tola:

* You are asking the Rev for a comment and at the same time telling him that his other postings are BS.

* Are you sure you want an honest comment from me ?

* Listen Tola---lemme begin by giving praise to the NGO's attempting to do valuable and meaningful work in Guyana. I have always admired the dedication and commitment of those folks.

* The problems confronted by the NGO's are those they would confront in most poor countries---inefficient bureaucracy and blatant corruption.

* You mentioned the "big man" wanted his "fee" ---well, there is an old saying, "a fish rots from the head"----and so if former President and biggest of the " Big Men" Barath wanted his cut----then "monkey see monkey do"----and so all the little "big men" will want their cut.

* SO WHAT'S THE SOLUTION TO INEFFICIENT BUREAUCRACY & CORRUPTION ?

* Answer that and you'll win a Nobel Prize.

Rev

Mr sing why you envy mr TK like Mr rev?

live in Guyana for at least 10 years to get citizenship and then the right to vote.  Virtually no Chinese live that long.

Rass....Chinese life expectancy had dropped to less than 10 years.......

At this rate China will have an 8-yr old President replace President Xi Jinping......

The Rev is a cheerful, upbeat and optimistic gentleman.....can we throw in a little doe of realism there buddy?

Sumatoo and Buxton Spice do get rotten sometimes....and anybody's sugar cake does get moldy......

Was this for Rev or was this for Tarron Kimraj acting out here as Mrs Jackazz Brains (Ms JB)?

Isn't that a damning statistic, and one not to be proud of?

Guyana receives 300 Million in remittances year over year it has become a pseudo welfare state.

I think you meant to add....and Jagdeo is the biggest welfare Queen in Guyana..." right?

* Over 47 million Americans on food stamps. Isn't that also a damning statistic ?

* 76% of Americans living from paycheck to paycheck.

* 44% of Americans have less than 3 months worth of savings

BOTTOM LINE:

* There is poverty in every country on the planet---even in the richest---the great US of A.

Rev

We have more poverty in Guyana

Rev, my BS statement is saying you do not speak about the reality of Guyana, regarding the majority of the people.

Your 'economic growth' only seems to suit the PPP elite and most care less about those who suffers the most.

You are right about the 'big man' learned from Barath The Best. When we took a letter of intro to him, he swore at us saying he takes instructions only from his 'big man' Barath The Best.

It is most unfortunate due an AH, the youth will continue to take their own lives, because of no counselling programs.

Yet the PPP awarded him with a prestigious position, with a larger salary and little to do. What a great political party !!

Being an 'inside person', you fail to suggest a solution to the challenges experienced by the NGO. Or are you not as 'big' as they say you are ?  

How do we get rid of the rotten fish without getting rid of the PPP government?

EH Blast from the Past Mr. TOLA.

WELCOME.

Is election time again and all the stalwart and veterans coming out fo the crack.

WELCOME.

Rev

This is the most accurate statement that I have heard here in a very long time. There is poverty everywhere. I just came back from the USA and Americans are really feeling the squeeze.

Despite this fact, they play a blind on the issue of Poverty in Developed Countries and blame the PPP for Guyana's poverty. 

I spoke to Guyanese who are now just visiting America and Canada for vacation, something that was unheard of during the rotten PNC days. Guyana has made tremendous progress in terms of economic development.

There could have been a lot more progress had the combined AFC/PNC and dirty Indians blocking development projects that create economic activity and spinoff jobs.

The dirty opposition cannot have it both ways. All that the opposition can do is talk and talk is cheap.

Dirty Indians?

Yes, 

A dirty Indian is an Indian who longs for the return of the Rotten PNC.

CORRUPTION IN THE NGO WORLD

The number of NGOs has grown exponentially over the last 20 years, as has the scale of resources available. In 2010, it was estimated that humanitarian spending reached just shy of $17 billion.[4] Some NGOs have become transnational, with very large budgets. One American NGO, World Vision International, has a budget topping $2.6bn.

 

NGOs are often reluctant to talk about corruption for fear that it will lead to bad publicity and, consequently, a loss of funding

http://www.grotius.fr/corrupti...nd-how-to-tackle-it/

* Hmmmm! Interesting! Maybe Tola would be interested in addressing the article in the Link.

* HOW MUCH CORRUPTION IS THERE IN NGO's ?

Rev

You racial mind showing

Indeed I am up in arms against the PPP because they are crooks. It does not mean their obscene crookedness  has left me bereft of my senses as it has you folks who try to stand in their defense. My anger is a righteous anger and not  as your idle, addled brained, stringing together of nonsense words to deflect from their crude thievery

Further, one does not give up in the face of evil. One stand up and march to the front line because that is the way of the just. Insisting the battle is un-winnable because the odds are overwhelming is also never an option. Indeed good people are few and those that walk the straight and narrow walk a lonely road. However, every philosophical tome, every religious text, every common sense saying admonishes against thinking the fight against evil is easy or fair.

Whether  99 percent of  politician are evil ( pulling numbers out of your hat again) or not does not mean those in the one percent will recapitulate, role over and give up the ghost. No we fight and we in Guyana will fight the crooked PPP because that is what good people do.

Further, only in your world is evil ever productive of good benefits. If these fellows are crooks, the society looses what they steal. Their amassing of obscene wealth, and their piling up of bling which they flaunt as the nouveau riche is not lost on the society. Jagdeo spending 3 million G a month when the average Guyanese is force to live on 60KG represents this. It motivates anger against the commutative insult of this new class of super rich crooks. 99 percent of the PPP crooked politicians cannot be the source of our a 100 percent of our  misery.

Just to conclude, I am anti PPP not pro any other. I suggest as a supposed numbers man you take stock of the benefits of competition where it is not an either/or proposition. The PPP/PNC conflict makes for politics as a zero sum game and both would like for it to continue that way. The presence of the AFC makes alternative outcomes possible and that is what I am for.

 Where ever discomforts brought on by inconsistencies of human behavior one fights. One does not throw up their hands like you do and say lets like Job be thankful for small mercies.

The PPP is the source of our present discontent and it is against them we will leverage every means to the end of removing them from office. It is what one does if one has a wart on ones face or one's backside where it is not seen. It is just not right so we seek to remove it.

give it a break you mal educated racist fool!

Tola:

* You seem a tad peeved and annoyed.

* Listen! If you scroll up---3 hours ago--- you'll see my reply to you in which I stated I was not a member of the PPP. Here it is:

Tola:Being an 'inside person', you fail to suggest a solution to the challenges experienced by the NGO. Or are you not as 'big' as they say you are ?

  

Rev: LOL. Sorry to disappoint you Tola, but the Rev is not a PPP insider. Rev is not even a member of the PPP. I run a business here in New York.

===

* Anyway Tola, I had asked you if there was any truth to the article above, which addressed CORRUPTION IN THE NGO WORLD..

* NO NEED TO ANSWER NOW!

* Look! You come here and accuse government officials of being corrupt. I don't disbelieve you.

* But if government officials are on the take---their names can be released anonymously. Unless people demanding bribes and pay offs are exposed, the corruption will continue.

* Anyway Tola, I wish you well in your endeavors.

Rev

Your PPP cannot buy a wheel chair for this kid, but they can fly flu boy to Miami on a private jet because he has a lil shittings.

That is what you are celebrating reverse.

PPP GOVERNMENT OPENS NEW MINING LANDS

* The good news for the haters of the PPP and for those wet blankets on GNI who delight in bad news from Guyana is gold production in 2014 is down 16% from 2013 level.

* We are all aware that gold prices have dropped from a high of $1798/oz in 2012----gold prices closed today at $1307

* ANYWAY THE PPP GOVERNMENT IS OPENING NEW MINING LANDS----new miners will mean additional production---more economic progress for Guyana.

The Natural Resources Minister announced that a “competitive” and “open” auction for mining lands on August 11 and lotteries for new mining lands in the mining districts on August 18. “These two important activities would see hundreds of individuals who currently do not have access to their own properties would be able to be given the opportunity,” he said.

* By the way, I wont be surprised to see caribJ come here and celebrate the decreased gold production in 2014.

Rev

you are as naive as a cow. Mining is the worse thing that has happened to up. Further, as it is, fishing does better for us. Meanwhile, out environment is desecrated and poisoned by heavy metals and other poisonous chemicals.

Caribj is an ivy league graduate. Why would he want the hard,unrewarding life of a minor? Why do you think he would be longing for a short life?

* Danny bwoy! You are obviously consumed by negativity and pessimism.

* You must have had a hard life.

* Listen! Unlike you, the optimistic and forward looking Rev sees the positiveness in mining.

* Regarding carib---that boy is just as negative and fatalistic as you.

Rev

You are obviously living in a magical kingdom unconnected to the reality of life here. What would make you so full of nonsense? Confronting thieves does not require a state of mind other than one is against thieves. It is a defense of what is natural to good functioning of the human community

Fatalism is accepting the inevitability of  dominance of evil. To the contrary. We represent that hopeful side that does not think fighting crooks is an act of fu.cking door knobs. We know we will be the victors because such is the ways of things inevitably just. You go pontificating that accepting 99 percent evil people as normal. Now that is fatalism.

Hard or easy life has no bearing to your nonsense thesis. However, I was born lucky and even before birth my future was taken care of. That start made it easier.  None of this has to do with maintaining proper ethical standards. Poor people with hard lives are not deprived of moral grounding. Yours is not per a reasoned but peculiar philosophy for life but an incomplete and sketchy one. 

Can you explain why the PNC won 41% of the votes if the PPP is increasing its black vote?  By the way the PPP won 10% of the black AND mixed vote.  Even douglas prefer the PNC!

Jagdeo also loved pics with black women, and yet when the time came they didn't vote for him.

The PPP had a free concert in Linden, and thousands of black people showed up.  When the election came they got fewer votes than the number of people who showed up.

Business people will praise which ever govt is in power to protect their interests.  If Venezuela took over Guyana he would sing their praises as well.
