Nota del editor del blog: La oficina de historia del Departamento de Estado de los Estados Unidos publico el tomo 10 de las “…Relaciones Exteriores con los EE.UU sobre el periodo 1969-1972…”. Con algunos de estos documentos desclasificados se ratifica que los EE.UU apoyaron Forbes, Burnham en contra de Jede Jagan y al hacerlo era imposible que apoyaran a Venezuela en su reclamación por los territorios de la Guayana Esequiba .
Con estos documentos se demuestra fehacientemente la manipulación y falsedad de la campaña presentada por algunos funcionarios tanto venezolanos como guyaneses en los años 2007-2008, de las cuales si hicieron eco algunos periodistas de que la reclamación por los territorios sobre la Guayana Esequiba era el producto de la Guerra fría.
Queda descartada esa posición una vez más, como se ha demostrado en la serie de escritos “La Injerencia Marxista y Castro Comunista en la Cuestión de la Guayana Esequiba” ya que Forbes Burnham lidero, incito, planifico y logro sacar del poder a Jede Jagan con la ayuda inglesa y estadounidense. Incluso era tanto el apoyo de USA, a favor de Burnham que se opuso mediante documento escrito a que Venezuela le diera su apoyo a la Rebelión insurrección del Rupununi.

Document 369: Memorandum for the 40 Committee, Washington, June 15, 1970.

A copy was sent to the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Commerce, the Chairman of the JCS, and the Chairman of the NSC Under Secretaries Committee. A covering memorandum from Kennedy to Kissinger noted that typically such memoranda are sent only to the Chairman of the Undersecretaries Committee, and sending the memorandum to the Secretaries of State and Defense was a new practice. Kissinger wrote on the bottom, “What I want is the directive to go to all agencies on that committee, as a directive [illegible] from me.” Although the study was not found, the portion of the response to NSSM 117 that dealt with bauxite is published as Document 46.
Document 375: Memorandum From the Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs (Meyer) to the Undersecretary of State (Irwin), Washington, June 18, 1971.

Document 377: Telegram 996 From the Embassy in Guyana to the Department of State, July 14, 1971, 1458Z.

Document 379: Memorandum for the 40 Committee, Washington, November 14, 1972.
The 40 Committee approved cutting covert subsidies to Prime Minister Burnham because his policy had become more anti-United States. But, if Burnham changed course prior to the national election in March, 1974, and implemented pro-United Stated policies, the 40 Committee would be advised of his new policies so it could re-evaluate the decision to terminate covert support.
Source: National Security Council, NSC Intelligence Files, Country Files, Guyana, 23 May 1969–6 February 1973. Secret; Sensitive; Eyes Only. A handwritten note at the bottom stated, “40 Committee Approved on 12 December 1972.” Kissinger indicated his approval the same date in a memorandum from Ratliff dated December 5. In the memorandum, Ratliff concluded, “The key factor in this negative proposal is that Burnham has made it clear that he will win the election with or without our help.” (Ibid)

….much of what is stated here was/is known to a select few ,, some of whom i know is dead ,, and a few others still around , and for all that is known abt the indecent posturings by the burnham pnc and it’s cliqueish clan in the circus of the “illegal regal reign” they still continue with their “brass cohonnes” to exercise the same old mould of their inherent modus !
what more can be said to — what may seem to the pnc die hards as made up to disparage — show the callous mindset of the pnc ,, to use the country and it’s people for their own greedy and selfish agrandisement which has given rise to a legacy of hate and corruption for any other who get in their way or even attempt to topple their tent raised over the nation with their banner of “paramountacy” !
the mayor of the once “garden” city of the c’bean which has now been reduced to squalid streets that is an insult to the citizens of GUYANA has been a major player in the affairs of the ruin of the nation ,,,, more evident the capital and it’s immediate environs ! he is — i’m sure haunted by his past — of course on his way out ,, i’m sure he knows this ,, which may have it’s underpinnings in the unfolding scenarios !
sunday sermon for fodder ! go figure…….

Territorios estos sobre los cuales el gobierno Venezolano en representación de la Nación venezolana se reservo sus derechos sobre los territorios de la Guayana Esequiba en su nota del 26 de mayo de 1966 al reconocerse al nuevo Estado de Guyana .
“...por lo tanto, Venezuela reconoce como territorio del nuevo Estado, el que se sitúa al este de la margen derecha del río Esequibo y reitera ante la comunidad internacional, que se reserva expresamente sus derechos de soberanía territorial sobre la zona que se encuentra en la margen izquierda del precitado río; en consecuencia, el territorio de la Guayana Esequiba sobre el cual Venezuela se reserva expresamente sus derechos soberanos, limita al Este con el nuevo Estado de Guyana, a través de la línea del río Esequibo, tomando éste desde su nacimiento hasta su desembocadura en el Océano Atlántico...”
