During this time the PPP shouted behind fences. Typical of the those that make up the PPP. Dr Jagan idolized the Russians and Cubans who terrorised their respective people and ruled with draconian laws.In the end, those whom he cursed the more restored him to power. The decay of the nation continued from then to now. Walter Rodney and many others too numerous to mention fought for restoration of democracy. During this time the PPP shouted behind fences.

Was it because Eddie is stuck at Mirror and Hubert is a die hard PPP---why revive the PPP when most Indo-Guyanese did not want to hear the name of Dr. Jagan at the time?. Why do it when Indo-Guyanese were compelling him not to bring Dr. Jagan into in format of power sharing?( It was good for Dr. Rodney to be inclusive---but not with a dictator like Dr. Jagan---he must know that history from Mr. Kwayana---or did he choose to ignore it---why?) Dr. Rodney more than anyone else has the greatest opportunity to stop all this nonsense because most Indo-Guyanese believe in him---was he so insecure that he to run to Dr. Jagan? Was it not Indo-Guyanese that was following Dr. Rodney around—he drew most crowd in Indo areas than anywhere else( I do remember Dr. Jagan came to talk in those day and not more than 25 people showed up---and when he started talking about Russia and Cuba—and not about Guyana most of Indo-Guyanese cuss him and left. A month later Dr. Rodney showed up and there was nor even standing room and most Indo—stayed and listened and had a long discussion with him afterwards—a remarkable difference in belief in Dr. Rodney and Dr. Jagan) When Indo Guyanese has no faith in Dr. Jagan and the PPP, Dr. Rodney brought back the PPP and in the mist of it dogmatized, re-enacted themselves after Dr. Rodney went---and there was no option—because everybody went back to their old ways! Stop wasting my time and everybody time with race, Dr. Rodney galvanized all Guyanese yet at his passing the surrounding cast reverted to the philosophies of Dr. Jagan, Mr. Burnham and the dictatorship by race.
