USA Must Stay out of Guyana and Venezuela

President Guyana Irfaan Ali


US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo

The Mahogany Coconut Group is not surprised that almost immediately after the recent elections and the change of government in Guyana, that the USA Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, has visited the country, attempting to use the newly elected government, to assist in efforts to remove the current Venezuela government and install a puppet of America’s choice.

We urge all CARICOM to unify and defend the sovereignty of Venezuela and the rights of the Venezuelan people, to choose the government of their choice. We also call on the regional leadership, to remind the USA, that the Caribbean will remain a zone of peace and to condemn any attempts by America, to use military force in Venezuela or any other country in the region.

The last time we saw the mighty USA in the region, it was crushing the revolutionary government of the people of Grenada. We recall with shame, the support of Caribbean leaders, who joined with then president of the USA Ronald Regan, in that dastardly act. Those Caribbean leaders are now remembered as traitors to the region and have not been forgiven for their nefarious acts. That is the price they paid for their treachery. We warn the government of President Ifaan Ali, that a similar fate awaits them if they engage in any treachery against the people of Venezuela.

We strongly suggest to Mike Pompeo, that he spends his time in his country opposing the obvious and reported threats to democracy, as the American people prepare for elections in November. We reference the attempts to depress and deny voter turnout especially among its Afro American citizens and other unsavory activities, that we will not mention or care to comment on at this time.

The MCG therefore expects all progressive forces in the region, to denounce any present and future actions by the United States to destabilize the government of Venezuela.

Barbados Elections 2013 and Cash

The Mahogany Coconut Group submits that the real vote buying is in the upper echelons of our society. What we witnessed on Election Day was some voters getting   cash, cell phones, IPods and a bill paid here and there. The real votes were bought by those shadows- black and white, - who Dr. Don Blackman referred to a few decades ago! Of course Dr. Blackman talked only about white shadows but the corporate landscape has dramatically changed over the years – we now have shadows of all colors and ethnicities. While we shout from the roof tops about what took place on elections day, we bury our heads in the proverbial sand, by refusing to ask one simple question: How did the two political parties, both claiming to be rather financially impoverished, raise a conservative estimate of over twenty million dollars to pour into a three week campaign? We ask Dale Marshall (BLP) to tell us about the successful “cake sales and car washes” that raised their money. We ask Ronald Jones (DLP) to t

One Caribbean Nation As we celebrate International Womens’ Day, we are cognizant of the role our Caribbean women have played in the cultural social and economic growth of our region and evolving Caribbean civilization. They , like our men , have risen from the depths and decadence of slavery , to the highest political and corporate ladders in the region. They have given birth, to millions and have made and continue to make significant contributions to those in the Diaspora. In many cases, where they were not the biological mothers, they nurtured, cared and developed those , who were deprived of parenthood , and socio-economic hope. They are in our classrooms, directing young and fragile minds , how to navigate a world that we in the region , must forever avoid being dragged into conflicts of the so-called super powers. They are pursuing all the opportunities of our tertiary educational institutions, including the University of the West Undies, often in higher numbers than our men. I
