The Rev has some good news for you.
You have been unbanned! I expect you to be well behaved from henceforth.
Ask the Rev an intelligent question and you will get an intelligent answer.
Post vulgar nonsense and you will be banned again.
Regarding Jung---will get back to you later.

Rev Ally is an insecure man who hangs out with many thieves like Mr McLean and the white powder pilot. He uses the term "dirty Indian" because be believes African Guyanese and all people of African origin are dirty. If Indians work with Africans they must also be dirty. So that is the meaning of the term. Rev Ally who is close to Mr Ramotar and Mr R. M. Persaud has several handles here including Yuji and Terry Ishmael. He has a new cheerleader Mr Ramakant Persaud of Pradoville 1 calling dirty Indians. Mr Nehru a disgrace to Hindus is also in that boat. So too are Mr Ronald Sugrim, Mr BGurd_See and Skeldon Man. They show their true colors behind a computer.

There is no question that politicians in the PPP have feasted on the milk and honey----they have profited immensely from the power they wield.
But that is nothing new---throughout history politicians have engaged in pilfering, thieving, cheating, defrauding, and plundering the people they rule.
But unlike the PNC politicians who ruined and bankrupted Guyana----the thieving PPP politicians enriched themselves but Guyana has experienced remarkable economic growth and development under the PPP.
The dirty ones, the dirty PNC Indians---they long for the PNC to return and ruin Guyana.

LIE! PPP falsifies the numbers. The economy did not grow. So they enriched themselves and made the people poorer than PNC.

Rev according to your Info
Dr Jung Bahadur Singh
was a decent fella...
Is it True Jung was the leader
of the First Political Parties in Guyana.
Did Bahadur refuse to Join or Support Jagan and the PPP.
Did Dr Singh and Burnham Team up
and Made Burnham Leader of their Party....
Did they then use the Leverage of their Party
to make Burnham the Chairman of the PPP....
What is the Record or Popularity of Jung's Party
Did they ever win a Seat or Election....
If Burnham was Leader of Jung's Great Indian Party
why did he abandon that Leadership Position
And.... Jump on to the PPP....
and demand to be Chairman of the PPP

Rev
Guyana going bankrupt was as a result of both the PNC and the PPP embracing policies handed down by their communist masters. Nationalization which was supported by the PNC and the PPP led to the freefall in the economy. Couple that with the fallout from the oil crisis of the 1970's and you have a recipe for failure of the economy. It would have been no different if the PPP were in power instead of the PNC, probably worse since Jagan wanted to transform the nation into a communist satellite state long before Burnham.
Of course politicians steal and take kickbacks but there is a level of corruption which is tolerable. The stench of corruption within today's PPP is unbearable and is way beyond the level which rational humans can tolerate. In most civilized nations, politicians are jailed when they are caught with their hands in the cookie jar. In today's PPP, they encourage PPP executives and their cronies to steal as much as possible because it is abee time now. Do you notice the difference?
Growth and development is all relevant. Our peers within the Caricom community are growing and developing too only much better than Guyana. If the PPP weren't stealing so much, there would be real progress for the people and not just the enrichment of the Fat Cats.
When is the last time you visited Guyana ?
Did you see the improvements in infrastructure under the PPP ?
* Roads, bridges, water treatment facilities, etc, etc
* New schools, health care facilities
Listen. The private sector in Guyana is booming and the PPP government has been very supportive of the private sector.
RE: NICIL INVESTMENTS----like the Marriott
The Rev will give you that one----that's the PPP politicians engaging in looting and robbing and thieving.
No way the government should be involved in developing projects the private sector should be sponsoring.

The PPP has been ruling Guyana for the past 21 years----the country has progressed nicely----when the PNC ruled Guyana illegally for 28 years----they ruined and bankrupted the country.

I live in Guyana. Traffic jams, garbage and floods all over. No good planning by your friend Mr Montgomery and Mr Irfan. They built roads for show to steal kick backs. Mr Burnham made MORE infrastructure and lasting favourable contributions. Inferior infrastructure is what PPP does.

I am longing for clean and progressive governance by whichever party is elected to serve the people. It doesn't matter if it's PNC, PPP, TTT or QQQ. This current lot of thieves and dictators running the country surely does not measure up to what I expect from a government.
Some of the Facts omitted by the Rev
Founding of the PAC and PPP
The springboard for Jagan's political career
was the Political Affairs Committee (PAC),
formed in 1946 as a discussion group.
The new organization published the PAC Bulletin
to promote its Marxist ideology
and ideas of liberation and decolonization.
The PAC's outspoken criticism of the
colony's poor living standards
attracted followers as well as detractors.
In the November 1947 general elections,
the PAC put forward several members as independent candidates.
The PAC's major competitor was the newly formed Labour Party,
which, under J.B. Singh, won six of fourteen seats contested.
Jagan won a seat
and briefly joined the Labour Party in Parliament
to give JB Singh 7 Seats or
50% in Parliament
But Jagan had difficulties
with his new party's center-right ideology
and soon left its ranks.
When Cheddi Jagan left JB Singh's Labor Party
Dr JB SINGH teamed up with Burnham
and "De Opportunist" Immediately made Burnham the
Leader of Labor Party
The Labour Party's (JB Singh)
support of the policies of the British governor
and its inability to create a grass-roots base
gradually stripped it of liberal supporters throughout the country.
The Labour Party's (JB Singh)
lack of a clear-cut reform agenda left a vacuum,
which Jagan rapidly moved to fill.
Turmoil on the colony's sugar plantations
gave Jagan an opportunity to achieve national standing.
After the June 16, 1948 police shootings
of five Indo-Guyanese workers at Enmore, close to Georgetown,
the PAC and the Guiana Industrial Workers' Union (GIWU) a large and peaceful demonstration,
which clearly enhanced Jagan's standing
with the Indo-Guyanese population.
After the PAC,
Jagan's next major step was the founding of
the People's Progressive Party (PPP) in January 1950.
Using the PAC as a foundation,
Jagan created from it a new party
that drew support from both
the Afro-Guyanese and Indo-Guyanese communities.
To increase support among the Afro-Guyanese,
Forbes Burnham was brought into the PPP as Chairman.
the rest is history.......
Since you seem to know who are the Dirty Indians....
could you tell us if Jang Bahadur Singh
was the #1 Original Dirty Indian.
Was the good doctor a True Original Burnhamite????
Rev is very evasive. His mother and father supported Burnham and the PNC. Hence by his own definition, his mother and father are Dirty PNC Indians. Isn't that so, Rev?
I am longing for clean and progressive governance by whichever party is elected to serve the people. It doesn't matter if it's PNC, PPP, TTT or QQQ. This current lot of thieves and dictators running the country surely does not measure up to what I expect from a government.
Guyanese have to choose between 2 evils---the PPP whose politicians have enriched themselves while Guyana has continued to experience growth and development over the past 21 years. And the PNC, which has never won a free and fair election in Guyana and which during their 28 year illicit rule ruined and bankrupted Guyana.
I wont even mention the AFC---they are more evil than the 2 major evils(PPP & PNC).

Burnham took over John carter's Party. Jung had his own political Party.
Burnham took over John carter's Party. Jung had his own political Party.
Nonsense...you do not know history.....
in the late 40's when Burnham returned to Guyana....
Jung was a Big wig in Guyana
because he was supporting all the Whiteman programs and plans.
Guyana Elections In 1947
Burnham was not in the Picture
(1) Jung formed a political Party called the "Labor Party"
which was a Spinoff of the East Indian Assocation
Jung contested elections under his Labor Party
and won 6 out of 14 seats....a minority
(2) Cheddi Jagan contested the elections as an Independent
for the East Coast Demerara seat
with the help of Sydney King of Buxton
Jagan won this seat for East Coast Demerara.
In Parliament Jagan Briefly Joined with JB Singh/Labor Party
to give him 50% steak and Control in Parliament.
Jagan found out JB Singh was a Colonial Puppet
who sold out the rights of the Guyanese
and did not care for the Working class...
and severed ties with this Guyanese Indian opportunist.
After this Burnham returned to Guyana
and Jagan continue to Exposed Jung as an opportunist
Jung turned over his Sinking and
now Unpopular Labor Party
to Burnham and made him Leader
Burnham used the position as
Leader of the Labor Party to
Demand a Leadership position in the PPP
when it was later formed.
Then he Split the PPP into two Factions
De Jagan Faction PPP &
De Burnham Faction PPP
In 1958,
the United Democratic Party
merged with Burnham PPP
to form the People's National Congress,
PNC was led by Forbes Burnham,
and Mr. Carter became the PNC's first chairman.
Guyanese Ambassador John Carter, 86, Dies
Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, March 23, 2005; Page B07
John Carter, 86, Guyana's first ambassador to the United States and a key figure in the pre- independence turmoil of what was, before 1966, British Guiana, died Feb. 23 of congestive heart failure at Suburban Hospital. He had lived in Bethesda since 1983.
In 1952, Mr. Carter founded the United Democratic Party, which vied for power over the years in British Guiana with the leftist People's Progressive Party.
John Carter founded the
United Democratic Party in 1952.
In 1953, six months after the People's Progressive Party won a landslide election, British Guiana's colonial governor suspended the constitution, dismissed the PPP governor and installed an interim government.
Throughout the 1950s, the Cold War powers, fearing the PPP's Marxist inclinations, felt compelled to meddle in the politics of the tiny South American nation, which, in effect, delayed independence.
In 1958, the United Democratic Party merged with Burnham PPP to form the People's National Congress, led by Forbes Burnham, and Mr. Carter became the PNC's first chairman.
Guyana became an independent nation May 26, 1966.
John Patrick Gregorio Carter was born in Cane Grove, a tiny, rural community on the eastern coast of Guyana's Demerara River. He grew up in Georgetown, the capital, where he starred at cricket and soccer.
In 1939, he left his native land for London, where he received bachelor of arts and bachelor of laws degrees from the University of London.
He became the general secretary of the League of Coloured Peoples, an organization that attempted to address discrimination against Africans in England.
Every Saturday night during World War II, he delivered a BBC radio broadcast that began: "This is London calling the West Indies."
A nephew, Vibert Lampkin, now a judge in Ontario, Canada, recalled that Mr. Carter's mother would hear that familiar, faraway voice and breathe a sigh of relief. "Well, at least I know my son is still alive," she would say. Only after the war did her son reveal that the broadcasts were recorded days in advance.
He returned to his homeland in 1945 and opened a law practice in Georgetown.
In 1948, he was elected to the legislature, at 29 the youngest member of the body. For the next two decades, he was deeply involved in Guyanese politics.
In 1962 he became a member of the Queen's Council, the colony's highest court. From 1962 to 1966, he also was pro-chancellor of the University of Guyana.
He became Guyana's ambassador to the United States in 1966. That year, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain.
He also was appointed Guyana's permanent representative to the United Nations and high commissioner to Canada, posts he held from 1966 to 1970.
In 1968, he served as vice chairman of the U.N. General Assembly during its 23rd session.
In 1970, he was appointed high commissioner to the Court of St. James's in Britain, with concurrent accreditations as ambassador to several other European nations, as well as the Soviet Union and India.
Between 1970 and 1975, he was chairman of the Commonwealth Sanctions Committee, which helped formulate the British Commonwealth's policy on Zimbabwe's unilateral declaration of independence and South Africa's apartheid.
In 1976, he served as ambassador to the People's Republic of China, with concurrent accreditations as ambassador to Japan and North Korea. He also served as a delegate and as head of special missions to Australia, Singapore, Zambia, Tanzania and several other African nations.
In 1981, he was appointed high commissioner to Jamaica, where he served until his retirement from the diplomatic corps in 1983.
He lived in Bethesda from his retirement until his death, although he made frequent visits to Guyana. He also worked as a consultant to Golden Star Resources Ltd., a Canadian mining company with interests in Guyana.
Mr. Carter was a member of Chevy Chase United Methodist Church.
His marriage to Dorothy Frasier ended in divorce.
Survivors include his wife of 45 years, Sara Lou Carter of Bethesda; two children from his first marriage, Gillian Case and Jennifer Carter-Clarke, both of London; two children from his second marriage, John Carter Jr. of Gaithersburg and Brian Carter of Bethesda; a stepdaughter from his second marriage, Robin Marston of Mitchellville; a sister; eight grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.

What do you call the dirty PPP Indians who are more rotten, corrupt, unscrupulous and treacherous than anyone else in the history of Guyana?
They are called Jagdeo, JabbaDaHutt, Brassington, IrFAT Alli and the list goes on.
Jang Bahadur Singh did a lot for and helped many of his fellow East Indians in his time. To call a man like that a Colonial Puppet is absolutely disgusting when you never lived and worked in the time that he did.

To each his own I guess. Dr. Jagan lived a very simple life. On many Sundays he would be in his yard cleaning the place himself. Where as JB Singh may get his gardener to do that.
