Your Eyewitness is still trying to digest this news that a group of US local state legislators have flown into our dear Mudland and are jumping up and down in rage!! Why?? Well, because Pres Ali isn’t meeting them as they “investigate” what a PNC shill from Canarsie, Brooklyn claims was a massacre of over 1000 Black youths about two decades ago – and present rampant discrimination against African Guyanese.
Now a number of things. If these third-string legislative players from the American South have to investigate such a horrific claim, what does that say about the PNC government that was in office between 2015 and 2020?? Didn’t some of them make that same claim here? Weren’t they led by Pres (rtd.) Brigadier David Granger – and a historian to boot – who’d written about the era at nauseam as he produced the “Guyana Review” Magazine??
Didn’t Granger have access to the Stabroek News – not just as a member of the reading public but because of his association with them – which conducted an investigation from the public records and found that just over 400 persons had been killed rather than the 1500 claimed – now reduced to 1000?? And of that 400, more than one-third had been Indian Guyanese?? Didn’t Granger investigate one of the incidents precipitated by the “African freedom fighters” who launched a frontal attack on the state?? And in sodoing so attacked and killed more African Guyanese policemen than during the 150-year-old history of the Police Force?? Those US state legislators should know the old African Guyanese saying: “You don’t need flambeau to see what you can see in broad daylight!”
But apart from the specifics, don’t these state officials know that since the 1648 Treaty of Westphalia – and- most lately – since the formation of the United Nations – countries deal with each other through their NATIONAL governments?? Hasn’t the said NATIONAL US government already received the complaints articulated by the Brooklyn shill in his press release on behalf of the state legislators – and has been in communication with the Guyana government?? The shill clearly has the ear of the Democratic House Leader – who’s third in line to succeed Pres Biden. Are these state officials saying that Hakeem hasn’t been able to brief members of his party’s State Department??
Would these state legislators accept, say, RDC Chairs from Re 6, 3, 2 to investigate how THEY treat LGBT persons in their districts?? Your Eyewitness wants to educate these state legislators about the term “eye pass” – which is to treat others with contempt. They not only “eye-pass” the Guyanese people – they’ve taken their insulting exceptionalism to a whole new level.
We call it “rass pass”!! Gwan da side, hustlers!!
…UK’s Braverman
“Good riddance to bad rubbish!”, your Eyewitness’ granny used to say – as she dumped her chicken feathers into the old pit latrine!! And that was his thought as he got the news of Britain’s PM Sunak finally giving the boot to his Home Secretary Suella Braverman!! Now here was a woman, descended from coloured Indian immigrants like her PM, but chose to take the hardest possible line against new immigrants – legal or otherwise!!
She raised all sorts of inconsequential arguments like “national identity”, “national culture” “fitting in” and other tropes that are mere excuses to keep coloured people out of Britain. Never mind that it was those same people whose blood, sweat, and tears had built Britain to where it’s at – while they kept the natives barefoot, hungry, and ignorant at home!! Imagine the Brits looted £45 TRILLION from India alone!!
Anyhow, now that Braverman’s gone, what’s next?? More of the same ole, same ole with her replacement James Cleverly moved from the Foreign Secretary slot!!
…with the shuffle
Now that Britain’s chummier with us – nothing to do with our oil of course!! – it should be of interest that ex-PM David Cameron’s back!! Hip, hip hooray, for the old Eton school tie!! No riff-raff!!
