David Hinds

Even as the Working Peoples Alliance (WPA) is calling on Buxtonians to block the East Coast Demerara Public Road on Saturday in solidarity with Lindeners, Police Commissioner Leroy Brummel is daring leaders to be on the frontline.

WPA Executive Member, David Hinds Thursday night reiterated previous calls for villagers to occupy the road from Saturday morning around 7 O’clock. He also suggested that the thoroughfare be dug up as has been done in the past.

“One thing the Lindeners learn from us is how to barricade roads, how to dig up roads. I don’t have to teach you all in Buxton how to do that,” he told a public meeting on Buxton Railway Embankment.

“These roads belong to us and if this road belongs to us we decide who pass and who don’t pass,” he added.

WPA activists have been calling on residents to block the East Coast Demerara and East Bank Demerara main roads to join Linden in observing the one-month shooting death of three protesters and injuring of 20 others during clashes with police on July 18.

Other activists have been urging city and coastland residents to pay GUY$1,000 return for bus transportation to Linden where there is expected to be a huge demonstration and rally.

However, the WPA has dismissed such a plan, saying the time has come for the tension to be felt in other parts of the country and so persons should stay on the coast and engage in protest action. “Buxton people stop train. On Saturday, stop car,” he said, adding that the time has come for “drastic” action.

Among his party’s grievances that he said should be addressed “by any means necessary” including peaceful and non-peaceful means” are bad governance, corruption, extra judicial killings and racial discrimination.

But Police Commissioner, Leroy Brummel, appealing for “good sense” to prevail, said activists like Hinds are timid and refuse to take risks like protesters.

“It’s aching that some of these persons are scared. They are just going forward, riling up the people and they who are riling it up are not there. If you are a leader, stand up with the people. They are just going, riling up and they gone,” Brummel told reporters.

“These fellows are just hiding themselves and covering their skin and sending them to blows,” he added.

Though numerous members of the police force deployed to Linden to quell the one- month old unrest there, the Police Commissioner assured that the police and the Guyana Defence Force still have enough manpower to deal with unrest in Buxton. “We are in a Joint Services mode,” he said.

Hinds also advised attendees at the public meeting to be on the look out for members of the police intelligence special branch unit and “deal with them.”

The long-time political activist said his party’s activism is aimed at the removal of the Donald Ramotar administration by year-end. While the WPA is a part of the opposition coalition A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), Hinds said confidence among grassroots people is lacking.

The Linden protesters were killed and others shot and injured during a protest on the Mackenzie-Wismar bridge against a hike in electricity rates due to the reduction in a government subsidy by GUY$1 billion.

Government has since agreed to suspend the rate hike that should have taken effect from July 1, pending the outcome of an extensive review of the electricity sector in Linden.

The review would be done by a seven-member committee that has been agreed to between the Central Government and Regional 10 Administration.

The WPA and the APNU is completely out of their minds with this Linden Crisis instead of trying to unite Guyanese they are trying to tear the country apart with their Afro-centric race politics. These people only pretend to care about Guyanese they will sacrifice the blood of Guyanese to get in power shame on the WPA and APNU for calling on East Coast residents to block the roads.

Since the top cop is daring the leaders to be on the front line, it is time for Granger, Corbin, Greenidge, Ramjattan, Nagamotto, Trotman etc to stand up. let the police touch one of the leaders and all hell shall break loose....call their bluff....it's time the leaders and all Guyanese stand up to these bastards and the PPP regime.

David Hinds, the roads of Guyana belong the all citizens of Guyana and not any village or people of one village. You should be ashamed to call for such action. The rest of the country should protest aganist the preferential electic rates that lindiners enjoy. Guyana is samll country and can't afford to have its infrastructure destroyed by its citizens who just don't care about the rest of the country but only their so called political leaders. Let us have equal rigths and justice for all citizens, not for those in Linden or Buxton. Come on hinds is your motive to turn this country into a killing fields. Look areound the world, civil strive don't move the country forward. Do you think investors would want to invest Guyana with such political climate.

Excellent observation by the police commissioner. The joint services are there to protect and defend all citizens and keep order in the land. For those citizens that are protesting, do so in a peaceful manner and utilize the court/judicial system and your reprsentatives in the peoples house.

I find the statements from Police Commissioner Leroy Brummel very disturbing - to publicly dare a political leader to go on the frontline is essentially saying that he plans to make him an example. Brummel should not continue to carry out the illegal instructions of this administration. Even worse, he should not be so enthusiastic to show how good an "Uncle Tom" he is by daring his fellow citizens who are going out there advocating for the rights of Guyanese (including himself). In most countries Brummel would have been fired for those stupid, inflammatory comments!

David Hinds is another ignorant protester, what does it gain by destroying the roads, all it does is put more hardships on the Buxtonians and the poor people that has to use the roads to get to and from their jobs and their daily living, when are we going to get intelligent activists that use the system against itself, you want action call a general strike and picket the government buildings, destruction gets nowhere and cause financial loss to all parties involved and unnecessary blood shed.

COMMENT: Brummel is right. Except that he, too, sends his men with automatic guns to the frontline while he stays at Eve Leary. What will happen if his men are confronted by men armed with guns? Will he leave his office and go to battle? I still remember when police men were falling like flies and society was threatened, so don't let us force an issue that could lead to a deja vu situation.

The APNU provides an opportunity for constituency-less WPA to make a contribution to Guyana's development. Mr. Hinds is using the APNU as a platform for relaunching the WPA and attempts to lure the PNCR's supporters. His approach is bad. It harbours potential for harming this country. This latest outburst by Mr. Hinds must be condemned by all, especially the leadership of the PNCR.

What is required is a swift resolution to the crisis in Linden - a resolution satisfactory to all stakeholders - not the escalation of tension and politics of physical confrontation.

The article cites mr brummel as saying activists are ' sending them to blows,” ... im sure that is definitely not the kind of message he means to send... lest we think the goodly top cop has premeditated ideas of 'blows' for any form of protest action.. it's a sad day in Guyana when senior functionaries and public servants publicly display gross ignorance and asinine propensities in their ill-informed drivellings.. while not necessarily a supporter of hinds, its still purported to be a free and democratic country.. All this foolishness makes it further clear that Guyana needs an entirely new crop of leaders in this society if forward movement and development is our aim.. (sadly we have too many silly, unprofessional, uneducated and ignoramuses) holding power and not realising the responsibility.. deliverance from this mire and cesspit Guyana has descended into.. enuf said..

Mr Hinds ,as a suporter of this struggle I expect LEADERS TO LEAD IN A RESPONSIBLE AND ORGANISED WAY.

you must always keep in mind that the Mr Brummel and his senior officers are still trying to prove to their bosses at freedom house that they are good Uncle Toms. And that they are willing to kill their own for cheap.

BE CAUTIOUS my brother.Lets not fall into the trap of perpetual violence being set by this egotistical hired guns.

This corrupt regime has lost all credibility. Lets not give them any justification or opportuinity to regain it. Sure the people must keep up the pressure , but the opposition majority in parliament must complete the job.

Starve them like they starved LINDEN.

And to the commissioner I ask u don't dare anyone, try to calm nerves, at the end of the day u will use live bullets and may be sorry afterwards.

I disagree with David but if people take his advice more blood shed will happen.

I am appealing to all politicians and their supporters please desist from language that is inflammatory, police commissioner included.

I do not agree with the CoP nor Hinds. Both are out of their minds. It is irresponsible on both counts to call for the destruction of public property (although under a different dispensation the ruling regime and Hinds were up in arms doing the same) and giving a veiled threat to political leaders. As a constitutionall y appointed officer the CoP's statement is at best tactless and at worst peurile. He has the authority to use the force of the law to arrest those who publicly plot anarchy or threaten the peace. Your constitutional role includes pulling in anyone (gov't or oppsition or any other)for questioning once they use words to foment violence or plan damage to public property. The sad thing is that this said ruling regime were the authors of such methods of agitation in cahoots with Hinds and his coterie. Oh what a tangled web we weave .... Buxtonians don't be used and deceived by any one. Be of your own mind like the people of Linden. Don't let Hinds seek revenge for the WPA's failed 1992 agreement with the PPP. Be guided by the Almighty and not by evil and wicked men all around you.

Brummel is daring leaders to be at the forefrontof protest while his was noticably absent after the execution of three citizens of Guyana by his armed thugs. I cannot recall him being the leader and taking the blame for the unprofessional behaviour of his charges.In his capacity as the Commissioner, albeit I hope as temporary caretaker,Brumm el should not be chiding politicians but holding a neutral position. The man should be reminded that he is a paid public servant and as such should not be embroiled in politics. If he is behaving in this deplorable manner as temporary caretaker of the Commissioner of Police please do not allow the dithering idiot to be selected as the permanent Chief of Police. He has already proved to be a danger to the public.

Their stupidity always gives them away- Ramotar, Rohee, Brummel- that is why their sins will find them out. Who wants to destroy this country? Is it the peolpe who desperatly responds to murder and wanton maiming of unarmed protesters or the people who continually push them?
Give the people justice and peace will reign. That is the only way. In a war people die on both sides Mr. Brummel. Big guns and the backings of an evil government is not all. But we do not want this for our country. So stop threatening people and charge the people responsible for the killings and miaming. Start with yourself.

Yea Mervin, I do remember those days when the security forces become the hunted and military tactic had demanded that some thing be done. I know you will hate me here but I give all credit to present US prisoner Roger Khan for changing the situation and saving the country. I have say several time before that both the former COS and COP is unfit for elected office. I am also concern as to the reasons the opposition have these two failure in their camp along with other former senior officers. I do hope we have a lots supt. Watts.

Wow this man is a racist inciter and a destroyer of peace and unity in this country. Guyanese i implore you DO NOT let these uncouth scoundrels fill your heads with RACE HATE and violence this will get you NO WHERE and will lead to more of your sons and husbands and fathers being killed by the police which i believe is in order for this type of lawlessness. The police have the right to defend the law of the land which we are all entitled to NO one race is superior here. Again people be wise and wake up and smell the coffee..these people are sacrificing your lives for their own evil agenda.

At 8:30 a.m. there was no sighting of David Hinds in Buxton. He was reportedly resting safely at the home he bought in Lamaha Gardens in Georgetown. From there, he will soon leave to return to his other safe haven at Tucson, Arizona in the USA.
What tangible contribution has Dr. Hinds made to Buxton? NONE! Not so long ago, he was condemning the folks living south of the Embankment Road as "illiterate" and suggesting "literacy camps" for them. Now, he is inciting these very folks to engage in destructive and lawless behaviour.
My fellow Buxtonians, open your eyes! Think for yourselves! "Twilly" has nothing to lose in Buxton. He does not own as much as a fowl coop in the village. His parents are not native Buxtonians and he was probably born at Georgetown Hospital and brought here by Buxton Pride bus.
By the way, David, start the digging in front of the Gas Station.

Quoting Emile_Mervin:
Extracted: "It’s aching that some of these persons are scared. They are just going forward, riling up the people and they who are riling it up are not there. If you are a leader, stand up with the people. They are just going, riling up and they gone,” Brummel told reporters.

COMMENT: Brummel is right. Except that he, too, sends his men with automatic guns to the frontline while he stays at Eve Leary. What will happen if his men are confronted by men armed with guns? Will he leave his office and go to battle? I still remember when police men were falling like flies and society was threatened, so don't let us force an issue that could lead to a deja vu situation.

Both Hinds and Brumell are out of their minds...How could hinds instigate the poor to destroy what they have built and how a high ranking officer of the law chalange someone to stir up trouble? This is a CRAZY Professor vs a COP at the cost of the poor....dem 2 pee-pol head na good....is this in the interest of the nation? Henry Greene is DUPLICATED!

My perspective
The Name Kidackie Amsterdam may not ring a bell to many in the current political circles, but that’s ok since I have been out of “active” politics for the last ten years or so, but returned to join the Red Thread organized picket of the office of the president on Monday 13 August 2012 on the linden imbroglio.
This was followed by an appearance on the platform of the Working People’s Alliance public meeting at Stabroek square on Wednesday 15th august 2012. It was at this meeting that I disagreed with the leader of the political opposition’s call for residents of region 4 to show solidarity with linden by going to linden on Saturday 18th August. As a matter of fact I chose to make a public call for the major thorough fares such as the East Coast and East Bank highways to be blocked and Regent Street occupied by protesters for at least five days to force the government’s hand on the demands of linden. This call was repeated at Buxton on the evening of Thursday 16th August at which I invited residents to join me on the public road at 7 hours to demonstrate to the government that Buxtonians stand ready to join in the fight for social and economic justice for the people of linden and by extension all Guyanese.
These calls were made out of the recognition that the government had walked away from the negotiations with the representatives of linden and region ten, and the seat of government, Region four / Georgetown remained calm suggesting that all was well.
The question may be asked why take such “drastic” actions after being “out” of politics for the past ten years? Well here is why.
It is my sincere belief that the ppp/civic has nothing but contempt for the people of Guyana and the political representatives of the masses, moreso those who are of a particular ilk. This belief was further strengthened when in December leaders such as former commissioner Felix, Bond, and Collins were shot at the square of the revolution while involved in a peaceful demonstration against the perceived wrongs perpetrated by the Guyana elections commission, the refusal to act on the oppositions parliamentary vote of no confidence in Clement Rohee, and the manner in which the government sent its armed forces to launch a most inhumane assault on the people of linden on the mornings of Friday august 10th through Sunday, August 12, even while negotiations were taking place with the leaders of Linden and the government. To this I say the government will only respond to the demands of the people if there is a show of force behind the political opposition, which is what I called for at the two public meetings organized by the WPA.
While certain sections of the Media were quick to scream “WPA wants Buxton road blocked…David Hinds suggest the thoroughfare be dug up…” I daresay those reports were out of context and far from the call made, because the reporter was absent when I made earlier call for villagers to join me at the public road just to show our solidarity with linden and to say to the authority that we stand ready. During this call it was made clear that the desire was to neither cause obstructions nor damage to property, nor even to interfere with the right of other citizens, but to simply indicate that Buxtonians were standing resolutely behind Linden and their leaders.

Yes the show of support for this call was dismal, but serves to highlight another reason for my return to politics after “hibernation” like most Guyanese. The reason being that Guyanese, especially those of particular ethnic groups and convictions were oppressed, are being oppressed and will continue to be oppressed because the masses have become lazy and don’t care with regard to standing behind their leaders to demand accountability and responsible conduct from the government of the day, and must be made to “wake up” from this apathy lest Guyanese be made to suffer worst forms of indignity perpetrated by this uncaring government which sees itself as invincible.
Hence, as of now I am rededicating my energies to the movement which seeks to liberate Guyana and its citizens from the clutches of the nepotic, kleptocratic government of the ppp/civic, by making people understand that while leaders are in negotiation there must be a show of force by the people in support of their elected representatives if the will of the people is to be realized since there will be no gain to be had if the seat of government, Region four / Georgetown remains calm while the government refuses to heed the call of the people’s representatives .

Ps. I do not need to defend Dr. David Hinds, he is capable of this, the veteran he is since the day s of fighting the Burnham regime as a member of the Working People’s Alliance, which fought tooth and nail alongside the now discredited ppp.

We must not give up the right to retaliate. I think that right to retaliate has been slowly taken away from us. It’s being criminalized and the message here is to tell people that you have the right and there must always be an option to retaliate and the people must decide when to retaliate,” he said."

The above quote attributed to Hinds from another news story on your pages reads as an incitement and is suggestive of protest rights as rights to break the law. What has also been achieved here is the criminalising of the protest space by those who think that it is ok to take away others' rights (i.e. the right to have access to public roads and not have it blocked) in claiming their rights. If this is the case, are there any rights? Does one free for all cancel others? If in raising your voice and your placard, you scare many other fellow citizens and show the law as ineffective through your disregard, are you promoting your cause or promoting an old style politics of fear and violence? when is it a right to block public access? when and where is this the right of protest action? in which country can protestors deliberately block public roads and intentionally close access to other citizens? How can this be defined as a right?

There are some more people who should get immediate brain scans. David Hinds, Freddie is already in line; Benshop, Gerhard [who recommmended Freddie ] [censored] gat long aze but he na hear 'e own story, Trottie? heck drag Moses, Ramjattan and Ram. Cn Sharma already had a brain scan, he was declared to be halloed[sacred holey head]. These misguided fools are not building but burning down.Its a shame that the hardship they create for the linden school children is more expensive than the price increase of the electricity. A clear case of where the medicine does more damage than the disease. Hinds will leave you all in the lurch when he returns to Arizona , back to his hole in the grand canyon.
