TIME TO RID GUYANA OF MOB RULE.
Time To Take Out The Trash!

The State is in dire need of Competent, Educated, Skillful, Reliable, Honest, And Accountable Administrators.

For too long we stood by and allowed those we elected to administer the state to Do As They Please. And they did what they pleased for themselves, their buddies, and their cronies.

The time has come to "Take Out The Trash," Make A Clean Sweep, and Remove The Dead Wood.

Brigadier David A. Granger is just the man for the job. He has the Integrity, recorded and un-disputed Service to this nation. He is a son of Guyana, and have lived, seen, done, and experienced all that has led us up to this point in our collective history.

Let us give David Granger the chance to make things right for ALL Guyanese once again.

Let us get out on election morning feeling that we have finally got what we were hoping, waiting and dreaming for. To bring us back from the brink of International Isolation, Disrespect,and Distrust.

What Should Be The GDF/Army's Role In Civil Society?

December 26-2010:

What Should Be The GDF/Army's Role In Civil Society?

Historically, most armies were created to defend one's Territorial Sovereignty or Territories.
But in times of Civil Unrest, the army was very often called in to put down insurrectionists when the Local Police could not do so.

But armies are trained to kill the enemy, and when the enemy is in the confines of your own borders, or are your citizens. How would the army respond, in cases where they have to shoot to kill?

Global Terrorism:

Terrorism have become a global specter, and most countries today are impacted by some of these terrorist activities, with some of their own citizens involvement with executions.

So what part will the army play in preventing or removing terrorists?

Most countries have Special Forces to deal with such matters. Most of whom are trained by the army or military, in the methods of combat, persuasion, surveillance, and surprise attacks.

Some countries are able to do so effectively and successfully with these Swat Teams. But others also need the help, or work in collaboration with the Local Police, and Army. This can sometimes ruffle feathers about Jurisdiction, Control, and overall Co-ordination.

What will Be the Role Of GDF/Army Under Your Presidency?

In most countries, the Head Of State, is also The Commander In Chief of The Armed Services. In Guyana, the GDF is under the control or purview of the president of Guyana. If he/she is Commander In Chief, and I sincerely hope that our National Constitution makes provision for this role. He/she MUST understand what is at stake if or when Internal Terrorist Activities gets out of control to a point, where the army may have to intervene to put it down.

Also bearing in mind that this is not the principal role of the army. But it MUST work alongside the Police and other Security Agencies in combating this terror.

And also the Army cannot be the institution to oversee the combating of terror solely. But must work in conjunction with the Police, and the Minister of Home Affairs. And at some point, the Army MUST be told to extricate itself from this activity, when it is no longer necessary for them to assist in that endeavor.

Hello Brigadier D A. Granger,

CHANGE,CHANGE,CHANGE,. I hear this all the time from politicians locally and abroad. But are they willing to allow for TRUE Democratic changes, that will provide for Parity and Inclusion of all Ethnic groups in governance, and in National Policy making?

These things can only happen in a TRUE Democratic system, that respects Equality under the Law, Freedom of Speech via the Internet, and other media. And Freedom to Dissent peacefully against the political elected in government.

And finally, the insistence for Transparency and Accountability for ALL elected officials.

If these principles can be assured, and declared a national priority, then I will support your campaign for the presidency!

HIV Stigma In The Caribbean!

HIV Stigma In The Caribbean!

GUYANA, like most or all Caribbean countries have endemic prejudices against those who are the HIV positive, who may be Homosexual. They associate HIV with Gayness/Homosexuality, and assume broadly that anyone who is HIV positive may be Gay/Homosexual, and lives a promiscuous life or lifestyle.

They also assume that you can only get HIV if you are Gay/Homosexual, and that you are paying the price for your sins, according to their interpretation of the Christian Bible. Which is ludicrous to say the least, and overtly self-righteous of them too.

Blackmailing People With HIV Is Quite Common:

Within the Caribbean region, and Guyana, to publicly call someone a Faggot, Anti-man, Homo, Batty Boy/Batty Man, and a Walking Serial Killer is quite common. This is done by every age group and gender. It is another way for people to castigate you as sick, toxic, degenerate, or cancerous. It is a way most seem to feel to publicly humiliate someone they do not like, distrust, or hate. So by blackmailing them by any means necessary, they get their own warped and twisted sense of satisfaction.

The Family Unit Is Guilty Too:

In most Caribbean families, this behavior is very evident. Any HIV positive individual will not necessarily find solace, security, or comfort within his/her family. Because this is the place where it starts first, and where the hurt is felt the most.

Support Groups For HIV Positive People:

This type of support may be absent completely within the Caribbean, or very limited. And if some sort or type of support is available, it has to be under cover mostly. Because if the community knows that some building houses, or provides HIV positive or Homosexual individuals this type of support. It allows those who hate these people to locate them easily, verbally and physically abuse them, and possibly burn down that or those facilities, because they feel it embarrasses the community at large.

Secondly, most HIV positive individuals, or even Homosexuals within the Caribbean, would not want to be associated so openly with this facility, For fear of all, or most of the above cited happening to them.

SOLUTIONS:

HIV and AIDS is a social pandemic, a global pandemic, and it does not discriminate between sex, gender, or sexual orientation/preferences either. The states MUST ensure that Legislation is in place or enacted, to protect the Civil/Human Rights of all those who are infected with HIV/AIDS.

Housing MUST also be allotted, or provided for people with HIV, as a safe place to live, maintain their health, feel secure by being with those who are also infected with this disease, and MUST be protected from scrupulous Land Owners/Renters, who exploit HIV positive individuals. Because they are too weak, ignorant, helpless, or fearful for their lives, to represent or defend themselves.

And anyone who is HIV infected MUST be given treatment at any hospital or medical facility, (private or state run). MUST be allowed admittance like any other patient to the wards therein, and given equal treatment, medicines (whenever available), to treat HIV.

And stringent efforts MUST be made by the state to ensure that the GENERIC HIV protease inhibitors, and their associates are available to all HIV positive people throughout the entire country/states.

FREE OF COST TOO!

Harassment Of Homosexuals In Guyana!

Harassment Of Homosexuals In Guyana!

This problem has been with us for as long as I can recall. Guyanese generally feel that all homosexuals are an embarrassment to their relatives/families, and must be verbally abused whenever and wherever possible.

Within their twisted minds/mentality, verbal abuse to open or explicit Homosexuals/Gay men (mostly), is the accepted thing to do. And this is the perceived manner that most Guyanese go about treating Homosexuals (alias Anti-men).

Incidentally, and anti-man is someone who is against all men. And Homosexuals are certainly not against all men. Most are attracted to some men, but not all men would qualify for a Gay or Homosexual male's attraction or appeal.

Just for the record!

Courting With Homosexuals In Guyana.

I also found from my childhood years that a lot of men use their sexuality, good looks, and suave to attract Homosexuals in Guyana. To physically abuse them, rob them of their money, and wealth. And exploit them under the guise of Love and Friendship.

Some Gay/Homosexual men believe that having a (so-called straight acting male in their life), will help protect them from verbal and physical abuse. So they allow themselves to be verbally and physically abused to get this desired protection, respect, and friendship.

Finally, I have also found that most Gay/Homosexual men in Guyana, many of whom are under cover (or Down Low), does not experience most of these overt problems, because they are able to blend in the mainstream of society. By aping the so-called normal behavior, being seen with women or beautiful women, going to clubs and house parties, flirting with women, even though they are not sexually attracted to them.

But they feel that they have to play the role for personal protection, for fear of being found to be homosexual, and not attract too much prying into their sexual lives.
