   Just as chagrin has been expressed by BU concerning particular media reports (Fox news.com, et al) out of the US that the World Food Program is presently “sitting on a cash and near cash stockpile of more than US $ 1.22 billion”, while the UN Secretary-General, Mr. Ban Ki-moon, the US President, Mr. George Bush, and some other UN and World Bank representatives, on the behalf of UN and other relevant food and aid programs, go begging for emergency funding from various people and institutions across the world, so that these programs would be greater able to help ease the hunger and destitution among the world poorest countries, as the so-called global food crisis takes severe toll on the world’s most vulnerable and deprived peoples, so must much anger must be directed by the PDC too at a situation in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, where the Regional Security System was recently unwisely raiding and destroying hundreds of acres worth of luxuriant marijuana/plants in a mountainous part of this Windwards Islands territory.

   According to the Front Page of Saturday Sun, May 3, 2008, the value of these crops/plants/seedlings/processed marijuana is a staggering US $ 18 billion (citing RSS sources), and exceeds the budgets of Barbados, and each individual member of the OECS. Furthermore, the newspaper gives an idea how this US $ 11. 8 billion value was calculated based on the price sold on the streets in St. Vincent and the Grenadines,” at the current price of US $ 1500 per pound, and each tree and seedling, if reaching maturity, producing between and five pounds of harvested marijuana”.

   Nevertheless, what is so disgusting about this very backward and ignorant US-led approach to marijuana cultivation in this part of the hemisphere, is that these said unconscionable and immoral raids and seizures have, according to the same Saturday Sun, formed “part of A SPECIAL TRAINING COURSE FOR RSS MEMBERS, AND IN ITS SECOND PHASE IS SPONSORED BY THE UNITED STATES EMBASSY AND THE US NARCOTICS AFFAIRS SECTION”. What madness and duplicity!! Could any one imagine the huge social, material, medicinal, and financial worth and significance of this crop of marijuana, particularly, and the marijuana plant and its cultivation any where, generally, to the well being of millions of people within St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the region itself, and beyond, whether legalized or not? Could anyone understand why such a viable crop was devalued and desecrated by such myopic cutlass and gun-wielding people in the way it was done? Why does it ring great alarms – this situation in St. Vincent and Grendines – that this is the same US, along with the WTO and Chiquita multinational corporation, that would have mercilessly and wickedly helped in 1990s to destroy much of the Windward Islands banana industry, knowing full well that many more Windward Island people, esp. hard done banana farmers, would resort to the growing of this crop – which many in the US officialdom pretend to hate? Why must we – many millions across the world – continue to suffer the despicable effects of so many double standards that have been over the years set by the said US, which continues to grow its own marijuana for its own purposes, and which at this stage so hypocritcally seeks to talk now about alleviating world hunger amid some so-called global food crisis. What a egregious mixture of contemptous bile and bilge!!

   Just like how we in the PDC has long been observing that the US, in deliberate pursuance of its own narrow, imperial policy/interests across the world, has been too often helping to create rampant poverty, hunger and other chronic social problems in this world, we too know that these ongoing US-led destructive efforts against marijuana farmers in St. Vincent and Grenadines will help lead to greater poverty, hunger and other social problems in that place? Do these American government officals from the United States Embassy and the United Narcotics Affairs Section understand, or even care, that they have, once more, partially destroyed and wiped out the way of life and the means of survival of so many Vicentians. Does the Prime Minister and his ruling party of St. Vincent and the Grenadines understand that, too? Do the Prime Ministers of the member states of CARICOM – which itself is responsible for the RSS – realize the enormous scale of destruction that took place, and the undesirable consequences that such destruction of the livelihoods of these people can possibly have for the relative social stability and harmony of the said St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and beyond?

   Finally, for any one to deduce that this US $ 11.8 billion represents the kind of financial power (what ever that is) that drug barons could have in the Caribbean, represents the kind of power that could possibly corrupt a nation, or even a whole government, shows the colossal ignorance and naivety tantamount to paranoid and fear mongering that exists in the region as to how social, political, material, and financial systems are structured and do function, their tending towards balance always, and how they could be adapted to suit certain circumstances while at the same time catering to balance and harmony within and without themselves.

   I’m still waiting to ascertain the true purpose of this organisation. I’m inclined to see it as a Muslim trojan-horse designed to subvert, civil humanity!
