Immigration Scam & Scam Artists!

Guyanese fleeced by some bogus immigration Lawyer name Malendez for thousands of US dollars.

This seems to be an ongoing dilemma with Guyanese being robbed by attorneys, masquerading as Legitimate Immigration Lawyers. And I cannot imagine how at this juncture, Guyanese have not yet learned their lessons.

There are Legitimate Immigration Agencies like "Immigration Coalition," and several others that you can access, or you dial 311 for help.

Or do some research on the Internet for FREE.

The Federal Plaza in Downtown-Manhattan-New York City, is also the place where you can access direct help or assistance with your Immigration enquiries for FREE too.

So if you are a FOOL, then you will be Played like a FOOL too by convicts!

Recognizing Barack Obama's Quest For A Nuclear Free & Peaceful World:


President Barack H. Obama was awarded the Nobel Prize Laureate For Peace & A Nuclear Free World. The 1.4 million EU or US dollars will be donated to Charity, says the Obama Administration.

This should also reinforce the expectations of Americans for bringing our troops home.

However, voices in many quarters of the public domain, wonder and is asking, what has he achieved to warrant this noble recognition?

But the decision to award him was made based on the above title, and the committee felt that he was indeed on the right path.

And has already made a significant difference in changing the global political climate, and reconciling with allies for past misconceptions or misdeeds, that America may have wrought towards some.

Meanwhile, the US & N.A.T.O. are bogged down in Iraq and Afghanistan, in a conflict with no rational end in sight. Plus the continued loss of civilian and military lives growing, on a daily basis.

However, only time will tell if he is truly qualified to have received this award!

Is Guyana Still The Garden City Of The Caribbean?

Is Guyana Still The Garden City Of The Caribbean?


Preserving Our Architectural Heritage:

Today, most of the old Victorian, Lattice Windows, and Wooden Houses that was the historical landmarks of Demerara-Guiana is either long gone, or is in terrible disrepair. And what are we doing about it? And if not, why?

Every culture has it's own indigenous cultural heritage. Be it locally produced, or inherited. But all the same, there are some notable structures that all cultures identify as sacred, indigenous, and indicative or uniquely their own. And strive dearly to ensure they are preserved, and kept safe for all generations to come.


So why is Guyana today neglecting our structural heritage?

Some say it is because there is no money available to do the necessary repairs and preservation work. Others say, they are being neglected because they remind us of our colonial past too much. Others say that the present generation and government does not see it as a priority, or wants to redesign Georgetown-Demerara, according to a certain ethnic preference and heritage.

Whatever it is, failing to do so will eventually cause us to lose what we have always been proud to say was ours. And what has been used in the past, to culturally identify us as a people, with a certain uniqueness that is precisely our own.

Some of these places that need DIRE repairs and Preservation work are the following:

* St. George Cathedral:

* The Atlantic Sea Wall Structure (entirely).

* The Demerara Stabroek Market (and especially repairing the Clock).

* The Demerara La Penitence Market.

* The Round House At The Atlantic Sea Wall-Georgetown.

* The Demerara Lighthouse.

* Government House-Main Street Georgetown-Demerara.

* The Cultural Benab-Main Street-Kingston.

These are just a few that I can recall that should be immediately placed, under the Care and Supervision of" A National Trust & Heritage Fund/Commission."
