Does this man hold the key to unlock a cure to HIV/AIDS that kills thousands globally each year?
Guess not...No cure says the Health Ministry.
This U.S. evanglist does look a bit suspicious, but his presence in Guyana created a difference in the minibus culture. Almost every minibus driver along route 45 was blasting gospel music, a much welcome and soothing sound to the ear.
Could this HIV/AIDS curing, suspicious looking, toupee wearing, some say blaspheming, preaching, U.S. evanglist stay a while longer because he will learn that he is right at home with all the corrpution.
Welcome to the land of corruption where many other doctors who claim to have the cure to HIV/AIDS are allowed to practice at free will.
Welcome to the land where a pastor dictates that every member must sow a seed and out of which will spring a car, house and land for the preacher to continue his work for the higher calling.
Welcome to the land where the higher calling means that they are elevated above all other church members and they pass in their fancy cars and toot their horns at you while the soul of your feet slam against the tar pitched roads.
Welcome home Sir. Come for the church stay for the corrupt officials if you were not corrupted before you are bound to get a life changing experience.

Slowly but Surely
Slow going…
Not much has been happening in the bloggers world lately, based on my jog through the arena.
Livinguyana is about to embark on its annual awards presentation for Guyanese journalists. Question is apart from naming reporters to individual categories, will they actually recieve insentives? Lately, many of our local reporters have been receiving both local and overseas awards for good reporting. Kudos to the media!!!
There is still no light over at the Demerara Light House as the bloggers there have been unable to post in several weeks.
Sharon over at the Voice over blog makes the point about large and small companies…Don’t worry all of her criticisms are channeled at promoting her marketing business.
Guyana gyal is still enthralled by an ole’ school friend.
Keep Blogging folks...

NCN doing the “Wacky Dip”
The state-owned National Communications Network (NCN) in its usual haphazard way sought to make a bold statement by banning Passa Passa music from its programming.
Good for them, but the management must now be asked; what is Passa Passa music?
NCN with its fuzzy (no pun intended) policies seems confused as the rest of Guyana about this new Jamaican thing.
I say thing because most Guyanese seem not to know that Passa Passa started out as a dance in Jamaica on Ash Wednesday, 2003 and has now progressed as a culture.
Passa Passa incorporates, dance, music, fashion and colloquialism, making it the most successful fad to date in the history of dancehall.
Its spread has touched the shores of Japan and Europe and Guyana being the sponge of cultural identities has adopted everything that comes with Passa Passa.
Unlike some Caribbean countries, our Government has turned a blind eye to the staging of events that resembles the lewd Jamaican version of Passa Passa street jams.
NCN is trying to do what the Government has failed to do and that is to address the issue, especially since photographs published sometime ago by Kaieteur News show school-age children turning up at some of these events.
Those Afro-Guyanese based groups have also turned a blind eye to these developments although mostly Afro-Guyanese are seen in the environment where you have young girls and boys, provocatively dressed, partying late at nights in an arena that rewards lawless, licentious and lascivious behavior.
But, NCN needs to firstly understand that Passa Passa incorporates dancehall and reggae music. Are these genres banned from local radio?
Will NCN refuse to air, “Out and Bad” by Elephant man or “Ghetto Story” by Baby Cham in preference for R. Kelly’s “Slow Wine”?
There are other songs coming from the North that are just as bad as some of those dancehall lyrics and they are played repeatedly on NCN.
I am not advocating that all dancehall songs are for public consumption, but if NCN must conduct their censorship, it must be based on merit and not because a few people hop on a band wagon to express concern.
Some of these very people have their own misguided reasons.
NCN should focus more on important issues, like balancing its broadcast to incorporate African movies and more exposure of Afro-Guyanese celebrations to mirror those of Indo-Guyanese as was done during the recent festival of lights.NCN appears to be stepping to the “left and dipping” in its policies.

Mail Trail...Speak your Mind
Mail Trail...A mail from a male who visited Guyana twice...
Your article and picture of visitors with the Water Street DemicoHouse in the background reminds me of the TWO visits made by my wife and I.
first with some trepidation in December 2003, since it was our first visitsince we married in Guyana in June 1963 - 40 years earlier, and again inSeptember 2005.
On both occasions we stayed with my sister-in-law in Croal Street, whoput herself and her family out for us, we walked about the city ofGeorgetown perfectly hapoily, despite the warnings about crime that we hadheard; we met a lot of very pleasant and friendly people who made us feelthat we HAD COME HOME and we even went for a boat trip up the Demerara fromLinden to visit my wife's old home.
The photograph (The Photograph was never sent) shows us and our boat behind us just after we had returnedto Linden. Yes there is crime in Guyana but there is far more where we are livingnow in England.
Thank you to all our Guyanaese family and friends for making our visitsso happy and welcoming.

Guyana360: These F^&#ing, "bleep", people are just trying to get your email and/or computer IP address to send you junk mails. Guyanese be warned, do not fall prey for these get-rich-quick schemes, they are all fraud.
Guyana is hard but get rich schemes on the Internet are never true and you will never win a free car or mobile phone.
And just one way of proving these schemes are fraud. Mr. Peter Fisher says that his now dead client and Guyana 360 share the same surname. Unless his client's surname is 360, then its a BIG OLE' FRAUD.

Guyanese Killed by Venezuela Army in Guyana waters
Guyana 360: When Venezuelan's could open fire in Guyana waters, then diplomacy must be a last resort.
But, when you face a monster in the likes of Hugo Chavez, diplomacy becomes the best viable option...Do we still support Venezuela for the temporary UN Secuity Council Seat?
Here is the full story as printed in today's KAIETEUR NEWS....
Venezuelan Coast Guard reportedly opened fire in Guyanese waters
Survivors of Friday's shooting incident at Eteringbang are alleging that Venezuelan Coast Guard ranks opened fire on their vessel while they were in Guyana waters.
Police have identified the victim as Paul Singh, a 35-year-old dredge operator, of El Dorado Village, West Coast Berbice.
Singh was shot in the region of the heart and on the left arm when the Venezuelan ranks shot at a Guyanese vessel that was travelling in the Cuyuni River.
According to statements received by local investigators, Singh and two other men had bought 25 drums of diesel fuel in Venezuela for their dredge, which is located in the Cuyuni backdam.
The party was returning to their camp via the Cuyuni River on Friday, when they were allegedly apprehended by ranks from the Venezuela Coast Guard.
One of the ranks remained to guard the crew while the others left.
Kaieteur News understands that after the other ranks had departed, the Guyanese crew decided to escape.
They resumed their journey, and had entered Guyanese waters when the Venezuelan Coast Guards, who had pursued the fleeing crew, opened fire, mortally wounding Singh.
The survivors were apparently allowed to continue on their journey, and they reported the incident to army ranks stationed at Eteringbang.
Police said that Singh's body has been transported out of the interior.
Efforts to reach senior army officials for a comment on the shooting were unsuccessful.
Dennis Chabrol again...Oh
The BBC writes...
For the second time in two years Dennis Chabrol has been elected President of the Guyana Press Association (GPA) while Capitol News's Gordon Moseley was elected his vice-president at yesterday's Annual General Meeting (AGM) held at the Chronicle Sports Club.
Chabrol, 40, got the nod from 24 out of the 48 eligible voters who attended the meeting. Moseley, who also contested that position, received 15 votes and NCN's Martin Goolsaran trailed with nine. The meeting was not without its controversy, as outgoing President Julia Johnson stated in her farewell speech that she would not support Chabrol for president which caused some concern for Chabrol's Guyana Media Uniters (GMU) which was contesting the presidency, vice-presidency, secretary, treasurer, assistant secretary and two committee member positions.
In the end the GMU took five of the seven positions on the executive. In addition to Chabrol who secured the presidency, Nigel Williams of the Stabroek News was elected secretary; Shonette Moore of News 2, assistant secretary; and Oluatoyin Alleyne and Neil Marks of the Stabroek News and the Guyana Chronicle respectively, committee members. The other two positions that had been contested by the GMU were the vice-presidency, which Moseley won after a coin was flipped when he and the GMU's Frank Wilson of Kaieteur News each received 24 votes; and the post of treasurer, won by Nazima Ragubir of Prime News who beat the GMU's Christopher Yaw of Stabroek News by one vote.
Others voted in as committee members were Enrico Woolford of Capitol News and Paul McAdam of the Evening News. The GMU had been campaigning weeks before the election and had garnered support from many media workers outside Georgetown who were unable to attend the meeting. The GMU had hoped that members could have voted for their absent supporters by way of proxy, however, all 18 of the proxy forms were rejected because they were not on a form issued by the GPA and they were not in the handwriting of the person who had issued them.
Chabrol, the new president, has been a media practitioner all his working life, having entered radio on a work-study attachment at the now defunct Guyana Broadcasting Corporation in 1984. He began his media career as an Audio Control Operator and later got involved in on-air, news and current affairs productions before leaving to work as Chief of the Caribbean News Agency's (CANA) (now the Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC) Bureaus in Georgetown and in Antigua for the Leeward Islands. Currently, he is the correspondent for Agence France Presse and one of the local contributors to the Caribbean Service of the British Broadcasting Corporation.
Guyana 360: Congrats there Mr. Dennis and We look forward to a more vibrant media that will be more investigative and dish out more intellegent stories

A strange story
Who would have guessed that somewhere in Guyana, a television personality the likes of Mr. Gordon Moseley (one of the best reporters in the fraternity) would be mistaken for another or former media personality.
After appearing on the cover of GEM (Guyana’s Everything else but entertainment Magazine), the aspiring GPA President is mistaken for Duane Fowler (Where in the world is he though) a promising television anchor that loves to take gambles…Took too many gambles at too many media houses so he left.
But how could one natty down at Vizion Sound make such a slip-up?…Jah Rasta, de man “Fowl-up”
I guess Moseley is Fowler’s doppelganger though he may beg to differ…

My heart bleeds
Who are these hooligans and why are they on our roads?…Why did they flee the accident scene? Guyanese need answers.
Something needs to be done to ensure that our roads are safer and it has to start with the police, the guardians of life and property. But first they need to clean up their internal act before they even budge to clean up the roads.
We urge that they stop selling bogus driver's licenses for $40,000...is that the price Guyanese must pay as the police get richer at the expense of innocent lives?
Ref: A friend of ours said her husband paid a police friend $40,000 and he was able to acquire his driver's license without taking a single test.
In Guyana any and everything is on sale... no wonder the Barbadian Chief Immigration Officer was so critical of our passport system.

Kudos to Mike Charles!!!
Finally some good news...
Mike Charles, the GDF’s wonder pilot has done well with his new release, “Guyana Yours to Discover, Visit Guyana 2007 Edition” which showcases Guyana as a major tourist destination. Good work el Captain.
Here is what one of our fans, Vanita had to say...
First I want to say Bravo to Mike Charles Production for your work on putting that DVD together it was a job well done.
Secondly i am writing from Canada, and for me showing that DVD to friends that never visited Guyana before highlights the fact that Guyana is not that developed, as most of the highlights were on the Amerindians and their ways of life which is good. However having a DVD on the more conventional side of Guyana will be nice also.
Companies like Banks DIH, Chico , the Bauxite Mining, the light house, Coffee Monument etc i think these places will make for an interesting combination, i'm sure alot of our North American Family will appreciate the sentiment. Some of Guyana's resorts and water parks can also be a highlite. Before i close this email also i would like to say that i really enjoyed the songs played on the 2007 DVD.
Keep up the good work and God Bless Our Nation

Kerick the Bugger
Is this the same person that Mr. President wants to hire?
Not sure but this is a man called Bernard Kerick, a former NYC city Police Commissioner heading the force during the turbulent 9-11 bombings…Here is what the Foreign press has been saying lately of him, Click the highlighted words below...
Mr. Kerick is at it again
Guyana360:
Mr. Kerick is a Bugger, (Please don’t add or subtract any letters to the word) the same man that Mr. President is keen on hiring. So let’s have a Bugger reformer the Guyana Police Force and have a host of Buggers walking the streets. You know, how about a force full of Buggers?
Recently we have been rocked by the tapping of the phone line of Commissioner of Police Winston Felix. The Question is: was Kerick involved? He has admitted to accepting gifts from companies known to be involved in illigal activities.

International Presidential Disrespect...
Saturday night was International Bar at the Thirst Park Ground but, there was nothing International there for as far as we could see. Guyana has its own cultural identity but it is being trampled upon and bypassed for more vulgar Caribbean and North American customs.
The event hosted by the Rotary Club should have been called Guyana Bar since Guyana being a multi-racial society represents many of the so-called products that were on sale.
The only addition was the Brazilian stall with those Brazilian girls with their sexy Spanish twang. Just hope they are not working a second job as strippers because the police will take them before the court once they are caught.
The night was dull, the performance was static and boring and the host, Mr. Mondale Smith seems to have lost his elegance and jovial style.
Mr. President was in attendance, so too was his close friend (just ask the people over the Demerara River) and Minister of Tourism Manniram Persaud. They were joined by Odinga and several body guards…quite frankly the entire entourage looked worn-out.
The President just stood there as if he was glued to the ground, any move and a sharp shooter would have had him in his grasp.
The fact that a dance group danced to a tune called: “Duty Wine” which incorporated several expletives (too much to repeat here) at earshot distance to numerous children did not even make the President and his team budge.
The Passa Passa dancers trilled the crowd and the host for the night seems to have taken a liking to the Passa Passa craze. Just to let him know the words in Jamaican dialect means to gather and not talk name as he alluded.
Passa Passa must go and the President had a first hand view and hearing of what this Passa Passa craze has done to Guyana.
Enough of it! The President should have felt disrespected when that Dutty wine song was played and should have left the event. It’s a pity that he stayed and supported the event despite the expletives that were belted out over the Thirst Park plains.
Except for a sprinkle of “Chinee” food that tasted like creolese cuisine and a few Coors Beer that could never stand the test with the locally produced Banks Beer, the International Bar could only be described as a money making deceitful show.
I recalled standing for an hour to buy one Banks Beer, having to wait just five minutes to buy a Carib Beer for a close friend and having to wait for a mere minute to buy an American beer.
All of this means something that the organizers must take on board for next year’s International Bar.
Lets have more local products and dub the event, “Guyana Bar” and ban that Jamaican Passa Passa nonsense.
