Months ago. I penned 
a contribution to TRAKKER lauding and reminding the international community of little Guyana’s contributions of brains, skills, expertise and creativity to the wider world.
Whilst we who lived and still populate the homeland in South America regard that migration of bodies and minds as a nation-deadening “Brain Drain”, we never-the-less took time and pride to reflect upon how Guyana’s migrant sons and daughters were contributing to international development, even other nations’ welfare and prosperity. (I believed I titled that piece “Born In The Land” or “Guyana Gave the World…”).
Alas, these days, from Schenectady and Queens in New York to Toronto and the Caribbean, some Guyanese are doing their fair share of damage to Guyanese positive status generally and to Guyana’s (national) image, in a way.
Media outlets are letting us know of Guyanese-on-Guyanese murders and thefts, Guyanese “talent” at defrauding individuals and groups in their new host countries, as they, the Guyanese miscreants demonstrate how best to exploit the countries’ “systems”.
What a bad light this shines on those other thousands of Guyanese (migrants) who merely want to live, earn and contribute in their new homes – legitimately. Yes, other immigrants to Europe and North America MIS-BE-HAVE, but Guyanese “resident aliens”, landed-immigrants” or “permanent – new – citizens” should never insult their hosts. Shame on the bad-behaved!
All the above makes me share with you the following which I published fifteen(15) months ago: “OUR GUYANESE TERRORISTS – No regrets from me about Obama’s taking out of Osama. I do hope that the documents and other materials acquired from the house lead to additional consistent captures.
The al Qaeda world-wide terrorists cells are largely now autonomous. The everlasting objective must be to neutralize them now that their major inspiration is no more.
Looking like an old retired terrorist myself, as I might appear to American Immigration and Security at JFK New York or Orlando, how can I convince those serious dudes that I do not condone what they know about Adan el-Shukrijumah, Abdul Kadir or Roger Khan?
Poor me again, I need to let the Americans know that I detest Shukrijumah as Operations head of al Qaeda. He is more Saudi Arabian and Trinidadian guys. Forget about his father being born in British Guiana. And former PNC Parliamentarian Abdul Kadir now has no luck! He’s serving life and his Gaddafi is being kept busy!
Roger Khan is one of the reasons I don’t take Guyana tamarind balls or sugar cakes for my USA-based daughters anymore. Our Guyanese couriers have tainted everything innocent persons like me want to carry to New York. So you see Americans, I dislike those three Guyanese even in this post-Bin-Laden year.
Additionally, State Department, please note that even the Russian-trained Economist PPP Candidate Ramotar, welcomed Osama’s death. And our PNC retired Brigadier is Bullish on security and getting the drugs dudes. Even some retired Guyanese soldiers now in the US whom he should know about. So please understand President Obama, I am mighty pleased that, despite your Islamic second name, you stand tall now, for eliminating an Evil which embarrassed genuine Muslims. So please for a visitor’s visa. And please let me through your airports after I’m undressed and scanned. Thanks a lot! “
