I wonder how many of the bloggers actually read this 1000 page document or sections of it before praising President Jagdeo or bashing the other Caricom leaders.

Guyana have to stands strong; all the other caribbean countries alwasys selling out or selling their country short. Take example St. Lucia there is a protest for the government selling out heritage sight to build hotels to forign; they even selling(privatising they call it) their water system ( a country water system should not be put in the hands of stranger). Who know want else they are selling; some say they are selling out to the U.S. but most of all the Chinese; who know to who else( tom, dick and harry). So Guyana STAND STRONG.

WO,WO,WO,
I see my entire blogger family are all out on this issue, and boy are they all fired up. Some are for , some are against, and that is good, shows that this blog is a truly democratic forum. So lets us give a big round of applause to SN who is making this all possible.

I see my brother Evan Thomas, is intent on making his point clear, that is good and well taken. Some other blogger states that the EU decree is 1000 pages long, so therein lies the problem, with one stroke of the pen Jagdeo agrees to 1000 pages of Europeanese money lingo.

Included in that language are hints of developmental assistance, but that is the carrot stick, they have been peddeling since the Burnham era.

Forbes Burnham was considered a more dynamic, eloquent and learned leader of his time, and for all intents and purposes, he was. He was trained and educated by the same European masters, whom he later had to confront.

We all looked up to him, after all he was the Big Kabakka, the Black Caiman, our leader in the fight against British exploitation, but after attending the same forum as Jagdeo is facing right now, how could he come back and tell his people that all is lost, and that he is treated no better than a bowl of Jello in front of the British Lords of Plunder.

He has gone down in history as just another third world, incompetent, ruthless dictator. But we are now witnessing, history repeating itself. If Jagdeo stays at it long enough, his legacy will be the same, and so will any other that comes after him.

Forbes tried his best to convince all Caribbean leaders to hold together, but as the saying goes -you never know where a house is leaking until you live in it. So that caused a fragmention among the Caribbean countries.

Listen my friends, there is no shortage of money or food in this world, the same way that there is no shortage of diamonds. Diamonds are hoarded to create artificial shortages, to bolster premium prices. It is controlled by De beers, and guess who owns and controls Debeers?- You got it right

There is no shortage of money in this world either, the banking cartel who own and control the worlds money come from a long leaneage stretching back to the crusades. Their is enough money in this world to intoxicate every person on this planet with prosperity for 100 lifetimes. There is no shortage of food or fuel either.

What is happening is that these commodities are being deliberately sucked up into a single source warehouse called the EU and other names, It is then auctioned out to the highest bidder in the commodities trade market.

Food is not sold to the most starving nation, it is sold to any country that can turn around and sell it at the highest price to a starving nation.

On any given trading day, the derivative traders are gambling with 673 thrillion dollars, all guaranteed by the banking cartel. These speculative bets on money and business outcome in any one day, can and does bankrupt countries and their business sector overnight.

These traders sit at their terminals in the Cayman Islands and make a killing by devastating whole countries and their industries by speculative trading. It is a far easier way to make billions than investing in a countries development.

It is people slavery turned into economic slavery my friends, but we can fight back by gaining knowledge our parents were never privilaged to. We can fight back with the internet and the blog. So spread the word and support our leader, even though his chances of success are slim to none.

Joe.

Do any of you really thinks that Jagdeo cares of what caricom do,or not do,do you think he cares of your comments,then.
Guyana can sell it produce else where and for more…….North American,central America,South America market is enough,we can even supply our local market yet…….so why would any of you think he should care……

Critik
Thoroughly agree with you. It’s Cari-gone, gone-gone-gone. I’m for a continental destiny rather than trying to stick with our so-called brothers and sisters out yonder in the deep blue sea!

I have done some additional research on this issue, and while I’m no fan of Bharrat Jagdeo, I totally support him on this one. Moreso, that the PNC is providing critical support.

Mr. Jagdeo, you have my permission(smile) and support. DO NOT sign that EPA!!!

Perhaps, this might be your only lasting legacy as a leader of Guyana.

Guyana gets most of its forex from its traditional bases of sugar, rice and timber and recently rum. (Which is unfortunate after more than 40 years of independence, but….)

Barbados and Jamaica get their forex from tourism and manufacturing. T&T are sitting pretty with their oil. So what they have to loose? Nothing!!!

Forget about Caricom. A waste of time!

Now, a continental destiny seems even more appealing. This is an excellent opportunity to break the colonial yoke ONCE AND FOR ALL

its time we turn to our SA neighbours and leave the island people alone, we have a lot of land and we will survive.
prezze give the land to our citizens and let them clear the forest and cultivate or rear animals, we will find markets from other countries like china, india
formulate a plan and give the land to our citizens.

We here in Guyana must now Forget this nonsense about CARICOM unity and let us re-align ourselves with our South American neighbors and hustle for ourselves, with a strong linkage to natural neighbors we can exploit the divisive remnants of CARICOM, basically those islanders have nothing in common with us except language, You know I now remember the Guyana 21 Plan, proposed by Stanley Ming and others.

In the multitude of counselors there is wisdom. No man is an island & unless WE can work as a collective the weak or percieved weak WILL FEEL THE SQUEEZE. Consultations MUST be held & consensus acheived before making any decisions especially when those decisions affect NATION(S)
