BELIZE CITY OLIGARCHY ATTACK OTHER BELIZEANS

* Evan Hyde getting older now, created a media empire based on racism by the Caribbean port town Black culture, against the many other ethnic Belize citizens. Nowadays he claims he is no longer racist.


OLIGARCHY OF BELIZE IN THE PORT TOWN ATTACK OTHER BELIZEANS FOR BEING THRIFTY AND HARD WORKING !

Jealousy and envy, some of the cardinal sins. There is a constant barrage of complaints and criticisms against any other skin color in Belize, by the CAPITALIST CREOLE OLIGARCHY of the port town of Belize City, against other Belizeans of different skin pigmentation, or language, led by one of the most richest capitalist families in the nation of Belize. The HYDE extended family, owners of a media complex including newspapers, radio and television interest, worth MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, controlled and run by in their favor, for their family networks and aspirants in national politics, or port city politics. The stuff gets very tiresome sometimes, being constantly fed such a one sided racist attitude of criticism.
In the history of Belize, there have been waves of immigrants. The British and Scotch who took the land from the Mayan indigenous Indians ( who are still here ), who ( the British and Scotch families ) have pretty much passed on, to the Blacks of Africa, to Hindus from India, to Arabs from Palestine and Lebanon, to Mexicans from Mexico, to Guatemalans, Mexicans and Hondurans from neighboring Republics, white Caucasian people from European and North American countries and in the latest wave of immigration into Belize we have the Chinese from Taiwan and mainland China. All we are missing are Koreans to make this Belize a real melting pot.
The HEARTLAND OF BELIZE in the current era, is being developed successfully by Belizeans who are WHITE, BLOND HAIRED and BLUE EYED, much to the HATE and JEALOUSY of the RICH, HYDE OLIGARCHY racist CREOLE CAPITALISTS of the port of Belize City. The most recent article disguised as a learned tome on Neo Colonialism, but which might be more identified, a discussion of International Corporations which are bigger than most countries in the world. The trans national story was written by Bill Lindo, who can write a good story sometimes, albeit with a racial twist. Promoted by the RICH CAPITALIST MEDIA OLIGARCHY of the extend Hyde family and relations of the port town in their propaganda mouthpiece the AMANDALA newspaper, which they brag is the biggest, most widely circulated newspaper in Belize and worth millions of dollars alone. This weekend the Amandala of July 26, 2009 takes aim in an outpouring of jealousy and envy against the successes of an Immigrant wave that occurred about 52 years ago of a small bunch of Mexican WHITE , CAUCASIAN, MENNONITES who immigrated to Belize. These immigrants are now into the THIRD GENERATION of BORN BELIZEANS. Some of them are even FOURTH GENERATION but still babies.
The statistics the AMANDALA through BILL LINDO throws out are substantial and something ALL Belizeans should be proud of. The hard work ethic, family values, good parenting and schooling, are all success stories, while the port town of Belize City population are falling apart. There is a definite CULTURE CLASH, in which values of family and children and hard work, come up against an imbedded Caribbean culture of laziness, a desire to have salaried employment in soft salaried clerical jobs and multiple children from a whole bunch of different fathers, as in the single mother syndrome. Despite hundreds of millions of dollars, or perhaps more rightly several BILLIONS of dollars, spent on the port town by their politicians, the cultural clash has not gone away, in living styles and values. The most recent article in the AMANDALA is a case in point.
One set of BELIZEANS belittling the accomplishments of another set of Belizeans based on jealousy, envy, racism and skin color. In Bill Lindo’s article, these WHITE BELIZEANS are painted as neo colonialists, taking away land from Belizeans ( CREOLES is the inference ). The statistics are fairly accurate and a good success story of hard working Belizeans, who are building the Nation of Belize. Making opportunities and not waiting for a salaried job, or handouts from Government politicians in Caribbean style patronage. They are saving, struggling, sweating with hard work and toil, using borrowed money from their Credit Unions. Bill Lindo the mouthpiece for the HYDE extended oligarchy in the AMANDALA newspaper accuse these hard working BELIZEANS of doing a LAND GRAB. I guess by his definition, if you borrow money and buy land to expand farming for your children to have opportunities, this makes a Belizean of white skin color a NEO-COLONIALIST? I didn’t get the argument myself? The HYDE OLIGARCHY AND RICH CAPITALISTS they are, can do the same if they are so orientated.
I think the statistics speak for themselves showing what sweat equity and hard work and saving can accomplish. Currently Bill says 12,000 hectares of what once was wild tall jungle unwanted by anybody in the port town on the coast is now in production in agriculture. Grain production is planned by this hard working group of native Belizeans for another 6000 hectares. I think 2.2 acres equal one hectare? In importing, these people who have cooperatives of their own in myriad religious social groupings are accused of importing 70% of all the tires in Belize. I’m not sure if that is a crime, but when you run exporting semi trailer 18 wheeler convoys of agriculture products, farm machinery, and tractors, I guess you are going to need a lot of tires? It sure beats using horses for productivity anyway. The CREOLE run and controlled government could never supply the infra-structure, they lack the management capabilities. So this WHITE, BLOND HAIRED, BLUE EYED Belizean group of 17,000 or so, have had to make their own schools, their own electrical service systems and their own roads and bridges. To do this they pay their taxes to support the BLACK controlled government of Belize and then they tax themselves again to pay for their own infra-structure requirements outside of government. If this is a crime, I wish the port of Belize City could do something similar.
Other statistics thrown out by BILL and the HYDE OLIGARCHY, are that the white Belizeans import 53% of all hardware sales ( when you produce export stuff, you use a lot of hardware ), this heartland does 80% of all the steel fabrication and importing. Of all the bridge and road works in the nation, this group also do 75 % of it all. Farm machinery of course must be imported and 80% of the nation’s farm machinery is imported by them. Machine shops and such work, account for 67% of all that is done in the nation. The new ITVET Community College system was supposed to disseminate those skills and abilities as we need more around the country. This group of hard workers, grow ALL the chicken consumed in the country. Produce most of the eggs. They started originally 50 years ago with half a dozen birds. This group also produces 62% of all the hogs and there is a whole export industry waiting for somebody else to start processing and exporting, processed, pork products. 45% of all the beef in the country this group does. 95% of fresh milk is produced by this group and the horizon and opportunities for dairy farms and export products like cheese are wide open as opportunities for anyone. We have a big shortage of milk cows and dairy farms. The cheese makers cannot get enough milk. We are hoping Salvadoranean immigrants can be induced to come to Belize to expand this sector. The group produces 65% of the ice cream, 95% of fresh milk, 92% of dry beans, which we consume locally and have enough to EXPORT for foreign exchange. This group produces 82% of all corn ( also consumed locally and exported ), 81% of the rice, 52% of animal feeds. 56% of all the foods consumed in Belize are produced by this group and is worth about $127.41 million. While about 5% of the population of Belize, these WHITE SKINNED, BORN BELIZEANS, BLUE EYED and often with BLOND HAIR, numbering about 15,000 producers have an impact on the nation of Belize out of proportion to their numbers. We have a population of over 300,000. Current production by this group is valued at $208 million. They re-invest ALL their money back into the Belize economy. Unlike foreign ROBBER BARON investor types that make politicians rich with bribes and retainer fees. Bill says this WHITE Belizean group control between 12 to 14% of the Belize productive sector of our economy. Their hard work, earns the foreign exchange either directly by exporting, or by import substitution saving borrowing and spending by others in the consumer sector.
Why the jealousy and envy you wonder? We can’t understand it? Mostly based on a declining political power base I suppose, as new IMMIGRANTS must come into Belize to build this nation. This was the story of Canada, New Zealand, Australia, the USA as well. Lets face it, South side of Belize City have big cultural differences with these new immigrant groups who are so needy, they MUST WORK HARD. They can’t play the political patronage game like the denizens of the port town. It is work, save and invest, or starve for new immigrants.
I thought the attempt to paint our white born in Belize farmers and industrialists as Neo Colonialists very sad in Bill’s article. It smacked of old fashioned, northern temperate zone USA Black Panther racist arguments in a Caribbean/Central American nation that has always been dominated by the black population in government and politics, looking for excuses for their jealousy. Most of that particular target group of 5000 White Mexicans that immigrated to Belize more than 50 years ago are dead now. You are dealing with born in Belize Belizeans who are hard workers with a different culture than found in the port town of Belize City. They believe in family, solid homes and children. The opportunities in Belize are endless. It would be more appropriate for Bill Lindo to be writing about how his teenagers in the port can make themselves rich with the many chances they have. You can start a business with $300, it doesn’t take much, but dedication and sweat equity. It costs more than that to buy a gun and ammunition to rob and steal. Calling white Belizeans with family values and hard work ethics, neo colonialists is not accurate. Not much future in that.
