And like I said, Mr Granger's candidacy is a boon to the PPP. They can't point to enough progress, so they have to resort to fear-mongering.

Which poor, hungry and dispossessed soul cares about the PNC that has been out of power for almost 20 years? In this day and age, those PNC days can never come back. What the people want to know is how their lives can be made better today and tomorrow, and why enough was not done yesterday.

Daily political challenges to democracy, manifested through terroristic behavior, are the order of the day in Guyana. This challenge represents our first concern. These challenges are in unison with criminality that recently has induced an unholy upsurge in criminal activities. In order to sustain these challenges, the relevant political elements give the society a periodic dose of ‘intimidation transfusion’ to create terror in the hearts of innocent Guyanese. This political link to criminal behavior is not only the condition that accelerates the crime wave, but this condition motivates and remotivates criminals to believe that a political comfort zone exists to provide the necessary refuge for them when appropriate.
The new political link to criminality has to be addressed on two fronts: need to provide for legislation that will enable easier prosecutions of the relevant political elements; and to link up with international law enforcement mechanisms, conventions, agreements, and instruments for detection, apprehension, and prosecution of terroristic elements. Through its signing of the Inter-American Convention Against Terrorism at the Organization of American States (OAS) General Assembly Meeting in Barbados last week, Guyana now can access external support to address terrorism. Guyana, also, could access support to detect, apprehend, and prosecute terrorists, through the United Nations Security Council resolutions, conventions, and international agreements.

Recognising this, albert, why did the British Security Sector Reform Project collapse?

Guyana is a sovereign state....

Please give us the exact reason for the collapse. Thank you.

Albert boy, if them x-13 men are bothering you so much. How come you are not out there hunting them down. Instead, you are on computer and the internet.

Same way they holler flour at Sase, yet do nothing. Same way they holler cocaine at Chris Ram and do nothing. Same way they holler peppersauce at the AFC, and do nothing. And so on, and so on.

You are right Gerhard.

The Sophia camp pulled their final straw by disguising themselves as the A.P.N.U that the electorate knows fully well the A.P.NU is the P.N.C..and Granger is no Sunday School Boy....

urnham depended heavily on the GDF to facilitate this rigging. David Granger was Burnham’s Political Liaison Officer at the GDF during the rigging. It is inconceivable to think that Granger may not have been one of the planners, and possibly the architect of this operation. After all, he was “fighting on the side of irreligion and untruth because he was fulfilling his duty to the Crown.”
And if he played no part in it, perhaps David Granger may wish to explain to the voters why Forbes Burnham would have left out his Political Liaison Officer in the planning of this operation that deliberately and illegally stole the 1973 election from the PPP, and disenfranchise the will of the Guyanese people.

albert, Mr Granger I understand, said he was very much involved, and graciously so, by the PPP Gov't during the crime waves. If that was so, how come the issues you mention here didn't come up then? Wouldn't it have constituted a greater security threat by having involved someone as you have painted Mr Granger to be? albert?

Granger was Burnham's Yes Man

Top gov't officials, US envoy were on hit-list- US cable

Written by Denis Scott Chabrol Friday, 02 September 2011 11:47

Ronald WaddellA former head of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) had told the United States embassy here in Georgetown that 13 persons including the then American ambassador and top government officials and politicians were on a hit-list in retaliation for the killing of Ronald Waddell.

The February 8,2006 cable released late Thursday night by Wikileaks, reports that the named former Chief of Staff had told then Ambassador, Roland Bullen that a former policeman who had access to the Buxton area had received the names.

"This paper described a discussion regarding an operation to kill high profile people in retaliation for the murder of Ronald Waddell,” the cable states.

Waddell, an anti-government pro-Black activist, was gunned down in his car outside his Subryanville home in late January, 2006.

While the embassy acknowledged difficulty in evaluating the credibility of the threat, the diplomatic mission characterized the former GDF head as “a serious and experienced security professional.”

The embassy immediately beefed up security for the ambassador including asking the Police Commissioner to detail an armed police offer

The cable reproduced the information provided by the former Chief of Staff that:

“After the funeral of Waddell on Saturday, it seems that elements associated with the group had a discussion on some form of retaliation. The two-for-one ratio was expanded on this occasion for more high profile targets." The following were identified as possible targets but Odinga Lumumba is felt to be top of the list.

Odinga Lumumba - High Profile target seen as an organizer

Sita Ramlal - too powerful and dismissing black people

Norman McLean - Association with the above and wanted badly for crossing over to PPP

Chief Justice Carl Singh - High Profile target

Donald Ramotar - As above

Roger Luncheon - As above and a sell out of black people

Steve Surujbali - High Profile target

Juror in Mark Benschop Case - for obvious reasons

Roger Khan) - Association or control Ricardo) of Phantom groups

Brian Tiwari - High Profile Indian

Khursid Sattaur - Government Official and High profile Indian

Roland Bullen - US Ambassador lending support to Government

“It is understood that reconnaissance has started in several areas e.g., Bel Air where there is a Phantom House and where SR lives. Hits could start on the anniversary of the jailbreak around Mash time.

The scenarios could be Hits direct and by staged vehicle accidents. Purpose to cause chaos and confusion, disrupt the likelihood of investment and frustrate the upcoming Elections and improve chances of a Constitutional crisis.

It is understood further that an operative named Rawlins also known as Fine Man, a former army officer and now late Deputy Chief of Staff, Godwin McPherson and others, are orchestrating these actions."

Hear say, not reliable nor admissable.

The electorate are wise and will not support the Architects of the X-13 plan who may very well be around today...

Former information military Officer to President Burnham

The A.P.N.U is the P.N.C....and some architects of the dark days of P.N.C rule are still there....the Guyanese populace is cognizant of that fact...

More Yawning, there are more PNC x13 plans in the PPP today than ever ask Lumbumba and Nascimento or any of the other 20 top PNC henchmen who are now PPP advisors and ministers.

The P.N.C is dead....

Just imagine the P.N.C wants to lead Guyana again.......HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!

Now dat I agree with, first time agreeing with Albert.

PPP=PNC

Guyanese are will aware of the destruction the P.N.C did to Guyana and they will make sure..they will return to office....the P.N.C will remain in the history books of Guyana...and the worse party ever ruled...

That's because PPP=PNC

The A.P.N.U seems to be competing with the A.F.C...to be the most dis-organized and non-electable party....clutching at any straw passes by...to be in the limelight...

APNU wants people to forget
It would not be unfair to state that examinations of any sort can induce psychological fear. Whether it’s academic or medical, very often fear creeps in prior to, or during the process, thereby creating the environment for increased secretion of adrenalin. In politics, history can present opportunities for examination and, by extension, the sensing of fear which inevitably leads to desperation. This fear and desperation is very evident now within the APNU and AFC camps.

Given the history of the PNC, which has been re-branded APNU, its Presidential Candidate, David Granger, would be ecstatic if pertinent aspects of this country’s history are shelved and not mentioned now or anytime in the future. His preference would be for the present generation to be oblivious of the atrocities of the PNC regime.

Unfortunately, this will not be. All must be aware of what transpired under that dictatorship so that they can appreciate more the gains and progress the PPP/C administration engineered.

As stated by President Jagdeo, there has to be a baseline to gauge the successes of the PPP/C in government. Obviously, this is automatically set at October 05, 1992 when democracy was restored.

History would show that during the PNC’s regime, the country was financially and technologically bankrupt with all social services and infrastructure either absent or in disrepair. A land phone was a luxury limited to a few; the same for cars, television and other basic necessities. A computer was almost a figment of one’s imagination.

What was prevalent, just to list a few, was the suppression of the freedoms we now enjoy, shortage of basic food items, physical abuse and incarceration of those who dare to oppose and the rigging of elections. With regards to the latter, two young men, Jagan Ramessar and Parmanand Bholanauth, paid with their lives while trying to prevent the ballot boxes from being hijacked by forces loyal to the PNC. At that time Mr. Granger had a prominent position in the Army.

This space would never be adequate to document the atrocities and the derelict state Guyana was reduced to both locally and internationally by the PNC. The many freedoms and comforts Guyanese now enjoy through visionary developments by the PPP/C administration, have led to many from the diaspora returning home to invest and reside. A stark contrast from when they fled the brutality of the PNC regime. It is clear that Mr. Granger and his advisors do not want those who lived through those times to be reminded and for the young to be apprised of what transpired under the PNC.

Young people who are always occupied with texting, enjoying music through Ipods, hooked on social networks by computers or smart phones, drive their own cars, have respectable jobs and flock entertainment spots everyday, cannot believe Guyana was once the poorest country in the western hemisphere! The rapid development seen across the country since 1992 has led to the transformation of the landscape to meet the demands of a modern society. Guyana’s status has catapulted on the international arena to the point where it now leads in some areas.

While there is more to be done, Guyana today is the country all dreamt of; a Guyana that the PPP/C has developed through prudent management; the only Guyana that many young people know.

This is the Guyana that the PNC/APNU would want all to know. They would wish all to forget the Guyana that they led to bankruptcy and dereliction. That’s why they are so fearful of when their atrocities are being exposed. Their record, or lack thereof, will once again be examined during this period. That is why they shudder and have become desperate for grading time is here. Their adrenalin flow has increased to accommodate their fright.

P.N.C aka A.P.N.U may be still pursuing their narrow political agenda...
