guyanatruth is a truthful, uncorrupted, conscious, unconventional and realistic exploration of guyanese issues.

originally a web site called "guyanese in america are..." (created on the 22nd march 2001) where i talked about the shockingly self-degrading behaviours of guyanese in america, guyanatruth is now an outlet for revolutionary thought and socially conscious commentaries.

in fact, i have almost completely shifted my energies away from guyanese in america and towards the fight in guyana. i've realised that free travel is a human right, even if it further destabilises an already precarious nation. the weak-mindedness of guyanese in america can be traced back to mental weakness of guyanese at home, so this is further cause to redirect my resources. it's better to take preventative measures and build strong minds in guyana, rather than try to educate guyanese in america about why they should have some pride and not be so servile as to emulate the american's every move.

in february 2002, the decision was made to create a new site at tripod.com and three months later on the 12th may, guyanatruth opened its doors.

guyanatruth has become the online outpost where i offer my vision of a mental revolution in guyana that is outlined by the slogan "educate, organise, mobilise"--the details of which i am developing daily.

what essentially happens at guyanatruth is i make posts on the homepage, with old posts being moved to the 'archives' (which are the bulk of guyanatruth), and significant images from posts being copied to the 'pictures' section. there's also a 'features' section with some random things, and a section for 'letters.' there was a message board but i took it down because it wasn't being used and because it was separate from guyanatruth, located at another domain.

back in may 2002, i listed five issues that i was primarily concerned about and i called this page 'the issues.' i also created a page for the 'writings on issues.' it didn't take long before i became overwhelmed with dozens of problems in guyana--with the race vote, corporate exploitation of the people and land, cultural dilution and migration being some of the most urgent. so instead of writing on the five listed items only, i've been making posts about all sorts of issues.

so version 2 of 'the issues' has been created as a list of the issues that deeply concern me and other people to different degrees. also, 'writings on issues' will no longer be updated because the posts on the home page that tackle the listed issues will be put in the 'archives'.

i run guyanatruth independently, so there may be technical problems and grammatical mistakes, annoyances and inaccuracies. please alert me of any problems so i can quickly fix them.

for more on me, see the 'me, myself and i' section.

in accordance with my ideology, i will be leaving america permanently in a few months, most likely june 2004. this return will be the most revolutionary thing i've done so far, and it's a significant point in my evolution. so as i continue to evolve i feel that it's best if i abandon guyanatruth and allow myself to grow in a different dimension as i pursue social reform in guyana. (again, see 'me, myself and i' for details.)

guyanatruth will be updated for the last time before i leave for guyana.

as you may have already noticed, it's my personal preference to use common letters here at guyanatruth. frankly though, my preference has changed to standard punctuation, so i'll either try and find the time to properly punctuate everything, or i'll stay consistent and keep things the way they are for the final few months that i'll be maintaining guyanatruth.

and another note: guyanatruth is listed in the 'politics' section of most web directories but this does not correctly describe the site. it's difficult to describe guyanatruth in one word, so i tend to use multiple terms, as evident in the first few paragraphs above. still, guyanatruth is certainly not 'politics.' it is a people-centred effort at change in guyana--true change, measured in the mental progression of the people.

if necessary, use the 'contact' page to reach me.

and finally, a word to visitors of this site who i've known to be mostly guyanese in america--we may not agree on everything, but let's unite on what we do agree upon.
