was financed by the CIA and the Brits

Never forget that - the files are open. My father went to his Indian brethren's business that day and rescued him. Dem Berbicians were loyal to their friends.

Be careful Chrissy, Dukes will say "that is ancient history" just like he did about LFSB banning Aloo, Dhal and Flour

Long held beliefs are unlikely to change regardless of facts.That is how humans are.

Since 1492 the pink boys have treated every other race as garbage ..and they have engaged the puppeteers from and within the races ... they are masters of divide and conquer and that ain’t about to stop .... a puppeteer is always out there ..
You can’t stop the pinkos ... it s just the way it is !!

1 PL480 programme allowed countries to purchase American wheat at a highly subsidized price, for milling locally .

2. The Americans were dissatisfied that permission had been given to Cuba for its planes to refuel in Guyana on their way to ferry troops to Angola.

3.The Americans removed Guyana from access to the PL 480 program as a result of # 2

4.The price of wheaten flour dramatically increased as a result

5 It is interesting to note that every CARICOM country has a flour mill, but none grows wheat, and all depend on the PL480 arrangement to provide the wheat for the mills to produce flour for their populations.

6. According to the Brazilian scientist, the PL480 was used as a carrot with the South American population to wean them off of a corn-based diet. With that accomplished they were forever enslaved to the wheat habit.

I have often wondered how lethal yellowing attacked JA's oil producing coconut trees so dramatically.
Now most poor Jamaicans use corn and soybean oil imported from Murca to cook their Chicken Back (imported from Murca) and callaloo.
Add Reagan's liberalization to that n wi is food slaves with nuh security

Remember the line in the Gibran poem from The Prophet

“pity the nation that eats a bread it does not sow.”

Dukes that PL 480 anancy story is just that. Allow me please to enlighten you. The PL 480 issue of which you speak never affected wheat. It was a direct order from the office of the president to stop purchase. I know this to be a fact. I was fully aware of all the PL at the time. My job at Finance was to service the International Debt. AG Dept would inform Treasury of payments due, and it was my responsibility to prepare the letter for FE Hope to sign authorizing Bank of Guyana to effect payment. I would then go to Bank of Guyana and personally hand deliver the authorization. This was done to ensure that payment was made on time because one day late meant thousand of dollars in late fees. So pretty please, with a little sugar on top, stop peddling that untruth.

The banned items were primarily of the Indian diet. Was the ban meant to focus on local, local dishes - that was the president's position for the ban - or was it meant to discriminate against the Indians? No one can say definitively, that is up for speculation.
I done.

I have vivid memories of standing in Thomas Street, Kitty and watching smoke rising from fires burning in downtown Georgetown. I also remember the intimidating sight/sound of British soldiers dressed in camouflage pants and boots on PT runs from Thomas Lands through the streets of Kitty. What I can't pinpoint is a date as I definitely would have been too young to remember events in 1962. But I do recall the bombing of the R.H. Carr and the Freedom House fire so perhaps my memories are from 1964.

Nice blond try Dukes. The real issue, as you are fully aware, is you stating that there was no ban on wheat: that it was an act of retaliation by the US. It is that untruth which I addressed, specifically, that the actions of the US did not affect wheat but rather a directive from the office of the president was the reason. (Btw, thanks for the recap on the PL program in Guyana irrelevant as it is to the issue).
Dukes, whoever provided you with that anancy story was, at best, woefully ill-informed or worse, being disingenuous, or to use the clinical term, LIAD. We got the paperwork at Finance regarding the office of the president's decision.
