I know it is not the business of the US government to engage in the internal affair of any country but I hope the State Department “eyeball” Donald Romotar very closely. We cannot do business with countries with no human rights credibility and a Narco trade as its policy.
It is the business of the US to engage in other countries internal affairs…..the question is how it is done and to what purpose….the Monroe doctrine and post 9/11 are the old and new bench marks….
The State Department of the USA is the powerful diplomatic front for the United States Government. The New world Order has been pronounced through the UN and the dispensation is seen everywhere in the world. It is the same State Department that invited Cheddi And Burnham 50 years ago the Whitehouse and the results are there for all to see. The decoded documents of the role the CIA played in the ouster of Jagan and the PPP from office is now political and world history. Arthur Sleshinger Jn wrote in his book Kennedy’s 1000 days in office and the facts on the leaders are known. Guyana still has the Bauxite Industries in the hands of the foreign owned companies. The country is also negotiating with International Donor agencies the Hydroelectric Program and other profitable industries. What the Opposition found rancid in the 2012 National Budget, may be the USA will offer the funding to the Guyana Govt to ensure that the Budget cuts do not adversely affect the country. Some 20 years ago Guyana was on par with Haiti as far as the poverty index is concerned, then the fortune of Guyana swung as it became a basket case and Cheddi Jagan secured the Debt Cancellation of millions of US dollars from the IMF,EU,The Parris Club, the G8 countries and the CDB. Let’s wish the Presential Negotiating team all the best as they proceed to the USA to talk Security matters for Guyana and the region, as they prepare to deal with the Narco trade and illegal gun running which involves our large borders with Brazil, Suriname and Venezuela. The development of Guyana will change for the better as the President continues the good relations with USA post Jimmy Carter’s Electoral Reforms. Guyana is about to drill for more oil in the Corentyne river basin soon. Repsol, USA, Canada and the UK all have invested in this initiave. The Us is also willing to have a buffer zone in the region to deal with the threats of Venezuela and HUgo. Our strategic land ,mass is the prize that has caught the developers and those US Corporate Citizens who want to create those investments in Guyana for the 21st Century. Good luck Mr. President and your negotiating team. Make Hay while the sun Shines. God bless Guyana and the Guyanese people.
Donald Ramotar is a dumb skull. My sympathy to the Guyanese people.
HOWEVER DUMB SKULL THE HEAD OF STATE IS, HE IS SHOWING HIS METTLE BY INSTITUTING MATTERS TO FIGHT CORRUPTION. BY CALLING ON THOSE WHO CAN MANAGE THE BRAIN DRAIN TO COME FORWARD AND DO SO. HE HAS ADVANCED A LIST OF AREAS FOR COOPERATION AND THE GOVERNMENT AND THE NGO’S FOR WHICH THERE IS CONSIDERATION TO BE GRANTED.
The Guyanese people do not need any sympathy from anyone as we are not yet in a mourning mode for a government or head of state that is still sitting. We have come a far way my friend and let us agree to apply the principles of the Unity in Diversity syndrome to whatever we do How about asking you to elaborate on your comment? This is the only way we will ever know what is your reason for your bizarre pronouncement on our present head of state. Remember that you and I may not have voted for such a man but he is our head of state and the honour must be given to him whether we like it or not. May be that is why in excess of one million Guyanese now reside abroad and may have unwittingly given up their rights to some part of 83,000 square miles of virgin territory. Have a good day my friend, Guyana loves you!
