Aleida Guevara and an everlasting hypocrisy

Saturday, 25 July 2009
I have always felt that many, if not all, of the journalists to have interviewed Fidel Castro and his higher subordinates since he became a dictator in the mid-eighties lacked a deep familiarity with political theory and philosophy, thus they have not succeeded in embarrassing Castro on his long journey of tropical fascism.

Deadly trap, permanent prison

Friday, 24 July 2009

I hardly get time to look at television. The internet may kill television for those who follow world events. You miss something that the newscast carries and you can still get it on video on the internet. In Guyana, the situation is different. Many of the local programmes are not repeated. I seldom see those talk-shows. I read a long letter by Tacuma Ogunseye on his interpretation of the politics of the PPP as adumbrated by Donald Ramotar during a discussion with Winston Murray on television.

Chocolate, stones and other stories

Thursday, 23 July 2009
As an obsessive buyer of chocolate, particularly Cadbury’s, I was curious about the importer’s revelation in relation to a story of worm-infested Cadbury that was found in a store.

Timing, focus and the fate of Guyana

Wednesday, 22 July 2009
Nigel Westmaas has replied to my criticism (“We are not captive to Freddie Kissoon’s timing or focus”- KN, July 18) of the Stabroek page, “In the Diaspora” in which I focused on the patent lack of criticism of elected dictatorship here in Georgetown by the Guyanese writers who contribute to that feature.

Letter about blackouts, blacked out

Tuesday, 21 July 2009

During the reign of the PNC, the state-owned radio station (still state owned; still the only radio station in the land) hosted a nightly call-in programme, “Action Line” and a daily commentary, “Viewpoint.” Dr. Jagan, then Opposition Leader, would complain bitterly that he could not get his voice heard on Action Line and his protégés could not find a place on the Viewpoint roster.

That Ministry fire: Exploding and exposing myths

Monday, 20 July 2009
One of the most poignant editorials I have read for this year was the one in last Saturday’s edition of this newspaper. Titled, “The fire and the halt to any investigation,” this is a critical viewpoint like the hundreds of thousands that have been printed in the newspapers since the PPP has been in power. More...

Mission Statement

The Mark Benschop Foundation was officially launched in March 2008 by its founder and chairman Mark Benschop and other concerned Guyanese and well wishers in the United States of America. What started as a small operation geared toward helping those in need has grown so large that they were forced to move their offices to a whole building in East Street where the vast amount of people responding to their generosity could be accommodated.
