AS a human being and one always striving for excellence, I hate plagiarism and copy-cats.  Those bereft of ideas but imbued with greed, wanting to make money or gain recognition turn to these two nefarious avenues to enrich themselves with ill-gotten fame or money. Others have turned to crime and sabotage, inclusive of “Industrial Espionage,” even violence to eliminate and or silence peoples with original ideas, or those who win a tendered award here and there.  My life was threatened a few months back when my company won a large security contract.

It was seen openly a few months back, when someone and his management misbehaved in public, even to the point of expressing hate at the government of the day, and planning clandestine activities against our staff and valuable government buildings to make us fail and look bad, and he still is at it, but which made us wiser instead, and tougher.   Yes he, in clandestine political style, manipulated the press and got a particular dishonest newspaper to carry one-sided information, which fools itself that it is fair.   Incidentally, despite him embarrassing the government openly, and taking it to court for wrongfully claiming over $200,000,000.00, from the government and this writer, without any legal basis, he still gets numerous multi-million dollar contracts.  We do have a good government. Even those opposing it and trying to destroy it are given valuable contracts.

Look at the Amelia Falls Contract, since Synergy signed the contract, the competitions have been working assiduously with the same newspapers to destroy that company, their award, and I would say, sabotage the government’s effort to bring cheap electric power to the nation.  Is it that if the government is successful, as it would be here, it would impress the electorate?  I am not concerned with that.  I am concerned with the positive vision and need to bring cheap electricity to the nation.  The competition and it henchman’s press went all out to character assassinate and sabotage the owner of Synergy Holdings/Global Site, and the award.  As if they had nothing else to do, when one question is answered the freaks have another.  I believe a powerful competition is also behind the attacks.  Even if god is the contractor, the elements of sabotage and destruction will oppose.

In the same way it seriously bothers me, when I travel to various countries, and at various hotels, and restaurants, and some top quality ones, I see them serving DEMERARA SUGAR.  Obviously, this shows that Demerara produces probably the world’s finest sugar crystals, which is a credit to us.  But as one philosopher said:  “when you steal my wallet you steal trash, but steal my name and you steal my life.”

Guyana is a poor Third World country, now aiming for great heights, as we can see, but for our name to be stolen by many large companies in large countries is definitely atrocious.  I hold in front of me a packet of brown sugar, natural sugar with the name Demerara, but with the name Florida Crystals Food Corp., West Palm Beach Florida.  This was at the Grand Hyatt in Trinidad.   I saw a dark brown sugar, somewhat pasty and will not fall out of the sachet at the Grand Hyatt in India, and Le Meridien in India.  The one in India was most embarrassing to be carrying the name Demerara Gold.  I am very jealous and possessive over our top quality Demerara Gold.  I took some over to the US as gifts to the lecturers and Dean of my Daughter’s university in Long Island, New York, and they loved the packaging and enamoured the real Demerara Gold.

I wonder why these countries do allow such nonsense, especially as they are the ones pushing for WTO actions and sanctions.  Is there anything our government can do.?  I have a sachet of Demerara Sugar in my hand, in my office from Florida as I write.
