Note carefully what hartley had to say:No longer will expletives (ie f**k you etc) and abuse emanate from the broken trident.

The boardrooms,and corridors of government departments are replete with horrendous stories of Owen cussing out who so ever will like a drunken pirate.

In any other developed democracy this man would have been kicked out for that behaviour before he could warm the P.M. seat.

Good Riddance of bad rubbish.

Eshu’s Blues: First Black President of the American Empire

The name on the door, and the family in the White House has changed. We have a president who speaks in complete, grammatically correct sentences. But with more than 800 US military bases around the planet, and spending more on things military than the other 95% of the globe’s population combined, America is the same old arrogant bully. Dr. King once said that a nation which spends more on things military than on human uplift is doomed. If he were alive today he might add, no matter the skin color of its leaders.

Anon,

The Parro In A Suit is too busy trying to get Symmonds out of his self created pickle with the sworn affidavit of MR BOOLANI, more questions than answers.

Maybe he is also trying to get to the bottom of why Tudor and Symmonds conspired to alter the age of Symmonds ‘s car to make it younger than it really was to allow the potential owner to obtain a loan to buy it which they would not have managed had the true age been declared.

Do you remember Nicholls, Bannister, Cox and Shorey ?? Kerrie Symmonds saw them in action and he only wanted his share of the spoils, poor fellow he was not as smart as Owing and the rest of that clan and nearly every time he dabbled he left a paper trail to his charge and his conviction.

“How refreshing it is to have a President of the most powerful country in the world with a functional and working brain.” A bar of Irish Spring or a good trample thru the early morning grass that has been bathed in dew would be more refreshing than this well-dressed walking teleprompter.

anon, The Prime Minister stands like a beacon among leaders, much more than can be said about the blabbling, drunken jackass in Owing See Thru Arthur, Mr Thompson is every bit the Statesman and he carries this staus very , very well.

Like the story goes Mr Thompson is our Prime Minister and I mean yours and all of our Prime Minister so get onboard and adjust your thought process, othertwise you will be spending many long miserable years in the opposition benches, like it or lump it Mr Thompson our Prime Minister is there for you, for me, for your children and for my children.

“David Thompson reminds the world of George Bush and Erskine Sandiford”

So the DLP suddenly realises that: leadership is important and that: “Leadership Matters Most.”

Isn’t that what the BLP was saying throughout the election campaign?

Again this week, Barbados biggest fool, hartley “the known” henry, a.k.a, Wishing In Vain – confirms why that description of him is accurate and why it is a national scandal for him to be paid $155,000 while senior citizens cannot get their pension cheques – despite the high cost of living, which is causing many to starve.

Thompson gave his friend Clico $10 million without conditions. The Obama administration put conditions on GM and others. henry’s column therefore has as much to do with Thompson’s upcoming budget as with his ego.

Clinical Psychologist – Dr. Denis Lowe would confirm that hartley henry’s problem is both social and psychological: a continuous battle for social class acceptance.

In his column published in the Barbados Advocate of April 16, 2009, Wishing In Vain, a.k.a hartley “the klown” henry, writes:

“In cricketing parlance, President Barack Obama is set to play a big innings. He is doing and saying all the right things… What we can already deduce from his near 100 days in office is that President Obama has cleaned up America’s image abroad, by mastering the art of winning friends and influencing people.”

Nothing is wrong with that observation (though surprising by henry’s standard) but what a contrast with David Thompson in whom Standard and Poor and Regional Heads obviously have no confidence – even to contribute anything meaningful, furthermore advance the CSME process or manage the Barbados economy.

Look klown!!!

Mr. Obama’s success merely highlights Thompson’s and the DLP’s failings and failure to implement its 90 and 100 days promises which were nothing more that a loose set of proposals through which the DLP intended to fool the electorate merely to get elected.

hartley “the klown” henry, added: “We are witnessing a gradual return to world supremacy by a country whose immediate past leaders did much to propel the country in the opposite direction.”

Note that the opposite is true of Barbados. The UN Secretary General is no longer saying that Barbados is a country that punches many times above its body weight. The Pope is no longer praising Barbados’s social transformation poverty programme.

In fact, David Thompson is known to tell the OECS – Barbados’ largest trading partner, which also represents a large potion of our tourism market: “ever so welcome wait for a call.”

But what are the facts?

Like the Bush Administration, it is David Thompson and the DLP which imprisoned people (from Nigeria and other African countries) at our military base, similar to Guantanamo even at a time when the freedom schooner was here.

It is the DLP which started the rumour that Nigerian Nurses have aids. It is the DLP that still has Africans locked-up in maximum security at Dodds.

What if Mr. Obama was as stupid as Thompson and had told the G20 that crap: “ever so welcome wait for a call?”

What if, instead of his immigration reform – where he seeks to regularise the status of over 12 million – he rounded them up like David Thompson and the DLP, for deportation?

You see why hartley is a klown???

“Hear the fool: “This country suffered immensely in the recent past as a result of such.

Barbados became an irritant to many, as a result of the “puffed-up” attitude of some who flew its flag.

There were instances where persons refused to attend conferences and to participate in discussions, merely because of the caustic and abusive attitude of some.

Indeed, there is at least one Caribbean leader whose failure to visit Barbados or support any initiative proposed by Barbados in the last four years, was not coincidental.”

What utter nonsense!!! Didn’t Barbados provide strong leadership and pay its bills?

If the DLP has so improved relations, then where is the fishing agreement? And, why do Regional Heads, as do academics – want Thompson relieved of Lead responsibility for the CSME?

If Barbados was such a bad place to be – under the BLP, as Wishing In Vain, purports, then why were Guyanese and other nationals pushing to get into this country and did not want to leave?

Why were Regional Heads (such as the President of Guyana, Golding and the Antiguan Prime Minister) praising Arthur for looking out for their nationals, when the DLP was agitating for their deportation?

The reality is, when the BLP was in office, Barbados was a land of hope and opportunity for not only Barbadians.

Furthermore, nobody ever though it – in the interest of regional integration – to remove Prime Minister Arthur or question his competence as it relates to CARICOM and the CSME.

You now have the brightest people in the region – people like Professor Norman Girvan and others – talking about a reshuffle of the CARICOM portfolios because they recognise that David Thompson is as much a klown, as hartley henry.

Hear the idiot henry: “Leaders who are in office too long have a way of ticking people off. Many become “giddy” with power.”

Wasn’t Castro in power since 1962? How about in Antigua? How about China, where Thompson went begging for money?

Look fool, the point is, if the BLP was in office none of what is happening now would have happened.”

For sure the Barbados economy would not be dangerously mismanaged neither would anyone be calling for a reshuffle within CARICOM.

The leaders of CARICOM have good reasons to feel that Thompson is a klown.

They have already said that Barbados is now a mere pedestrian at CSME and CARICOM gatherings, with the Barbados Prime Minister speaking on matters of finance and economic and reading.

Barbados has become a mere shell within CARICOM. Little wonder that Barbadians are no longer well received when they travel. hartley henry’s deeds within Antigua and other Caribbean countries – do not help how Barbadians are perceived, neither does Thompson’s weak leadership or silly statement to CARCOM national: “ever so welcome wait for a call.”

It is therefore an insult to Americans and blasphemy to even seek to compare David Thompson with President Obama.

Given the recent S & P Report; the licks David Thompson got in the Estimates, the recent no-confidence motion against him, compounded by Barbados Macro Economic Indicators, I understand the DLP’s desperation and the need for a distraction tactic.

I also understand that when it comes to the DLP, desperation has no limits.

henry’s column therefore has as much to do with David Thompson’s upcoming budget as with his henry’s ego.

Clinical Psychologist – Dr. Denis Lowe would confirm that hartley henry’s problem is both social and psychological: a continuous battle for social class acceptance: whether he is viewed as a special advisor, a shady character or a person who barely escaped being a Somali thug, because of the slave trade..

Please,

Lets keep this debate focussed.

This has nothing to do with President Obama. It is a desperate ploy by the Dems to distract you.

This is what Karl Rove – who incidentally – stole Joseph Goebells’ work – calls a distraction tactic.

The issues are:

1. the Standard and Poors Report;

2.Barbados’ ugly Macro Economic Indicators;

3. the sorry state of the economy caused by Thompson’s acts and ommissions;

4. increasing crime,

5. declining health care and tourism,

6. deportation of CARICOM nationals,
which has back-fired;

7.Massive layoffs,

8. $128 million with only the “John Boyce Death-Trap” to show,

9. Declining foreign reserves

10. Cost of living double since 2008

11. National debt increase by $1.4 billion in 14 months, whereas by $2.8 billion in 14 years under the BLP

12. GDP a mere 0.7%

13. Investor confidence shattered.

14. Barbados again the laughing stock of CARICOM, after Thompson was telling CARICOM nations: “ever so welcome wait for a call.” Well they definately will not be coming to Barbados’ rescue.

This is why the DLP wants you to focus on Mr. Obama and not the mess the DLP is creating in Barbados, just like Bush did in the US and the DLP/Thompson and Sandi did between 1991 and 1994.

We all know hartley is a “klown.” But while you focus on him, old ladies still cannot get their pension cheques.

While you focus on him, somebody is being shot or robbed every week.

While you focus on him, people are loosing thier jobs.

While you focus on him, people run the risk of loosing thier life because of the John Boyce Death-Trap.

Let us talk about the cost of living; and the lack of a plan by the DLP to create jobs and stabilize the economy.

That is what Obama, the IMF and S&P would want us to focus on.

This is a call to arm of every patriotic Barbadian. hartly “the known” henry, a.k.a, Wishing In Vain, is a political Mercenary – a ganster for hire.

Again, I must add, had not for slavery, he would today be a Somali thug, holding up cargo ships with guns and snatching old ladies pocket books.

@ Anonymous

You would recall that I have demonstrated beyond doubt that the DLP is intellectully weak and does not know what it is doing.

You will also recal that both hartley “the known” henry, a.k.a, Wishing In Vain and David Thompson – keep repeating the myth that the global financial crisis is to blame for Thompson’s triggered meltdown of the Barbados economy.

Well long before the Central Bank Governor or anyone associated with the DLP spoke, I made the point that the global financial crisis is actually doing the DLP a favour.

Please read the below from the Barbados Advocate and then lets us raise the level of this debate, as regards the Barbados reality:

By Randy Howard

BDS$731,172,000 was spent on the importation of fuels during 2008, a 61.8 per cent increase over that spent for the same 12 month period in 2007.

According to the Central Bank of Barbados’ Economic and Financial Statistics for March 2009, an average of $60,631,000 was spent monthly, with the highest spend of 91 939 coming in the month of July, and the lowest of 21 030 coming in December.

The monthly average recorded in 2007 was that of $37,665,000, of which the highest spend was $56,331,000, and the lowest $14,434,000.

The hefty increase in the overall spend for the year can be attributed to the significant rise in international oil prices, which peaked at US$150 a barrel in July of last year, the same month in which the highest spend on this intermediate good was recorded.

Subsequent to then however, the price of oil began to trend downward, and as such, so did the amount of capital being spent on the importation of petroleum based products into the local market.

This high level of spending on this category of items, which proved to be the most significant of all intermediate goods, would have had a major impact on the level of this country’s foreign reserves, particularly at a time when export revenues were said to be on the decline.

The increased cost of these products also proved to be a burden on the pockets of Government, and resulted in the current Democratic Labour Party (DLP) administration taking the decision to remove a subsidy on diesel, which had been intended to shield manufacturers from the international price hikes.

This subsidy, according to Prime Minister the Honourable David Thompson, was costing the Government of Barbados approximately Bds$8 million a year, and was a burden that the central authority could no longer bare, considering that oil prices were continuing on an upward trend at that time.

Given the decline in prices since the highs seen last year, with the price per barrel now being in the area of US$50, it is expected that the spend on this intermediate good will be substantially reduced for 2009.

What academic qualifications does this Hartley Henry have?

Where has he worked since leaving school?

But is his background that feeds his propensity to dispense so much shite in what he writes.

He seems to think he is an intellectual- but clearly is not as is evident from his prose.

Fred Astaire in the White House
Michael Brownstein

This is an appeal, an open letter, a cry in the night: no matter how cranky it may make us to brush the stardust from our eyes, no matter how many friends we think we’ll lose by looking long and hard at what’s going on around us, let’s try to stay awake. Let’s not lose touch with what we really want for ourselves. Let’s not forget what we know about the nature of consumer capitalism: it is unsustainable and unworkable because it depends on infinite expansion in a finite world. It can only survive by a violent takeover of what belongs to others. Let’s not settle for halfway measures.

And let’s not wait for deliverance from on high.

Because the president we elected — out of so much hope for a definitive break with what came before — is not who he seems. It’s true that unlike the previous inhabitant of the White House (remember him?), Barack Obama is sane, intelligent, and mature. He’s responsive to what others think. He hopes to institute real change in education, health care, the environment.

But even with his great charisma and silver tongue, he’s a proper soldier for the system which is ravishing the planet. As he said in his inauguration speech in January, already aware of the huge financial mess he was inheriting, “We will not apologize for our way of life.”

What do these words mean? They mean that the mall-i-zation of the planet will continue. They mean that the commercialization of all of life will not stop. They mean that our massive so-called footprint will never be substantially downsized.

And they mean that the force which has erased indigenous cultures and plant and animal species, which has sullied our air and soil and water, will essentially not be called into question, no matter how many of its most glaring excesses may be curbed.

Naomi Klein reminds us in a recent interview (http://www.thestar.com/) that it was Bill Clinton who periodically bombed Iraq and tightened economic sanctions which killed one million Iraqis. It was Bill Clinton who axed Depression-era restrictions preventing investment banks from also being commercial banks. It was he and Alan Greenspan who resisted regulating the huge derivatives industry.

As we’ve seen, these policies were in place long before Bush and Cheney took them to new levels. Let’s not forget that the United States didn’t recover from the Depression until the Second World War amped the economy up to speed, and that this lesson was not lost after the war. Ever since then, the internal contradictions of a system which depends on limitless growth have been dealt with by a ballooning military industry. They’ve been dealt with by a post-modern colonialism which, now called economic globalization, nevertheless fulfills the same function: eviscerating less developed cultures around the world for profit.

If we succumb to amnesia about this, then, as Naomi Klein says, “you do exactly what Obama is doing. You resurrect the Clinton economic and foreign policy apparatus, and you appoint Larry Summers, the key architect of the economic policy that has imploded at this moment. The amount of money that’s at stake in the bailout, if you include everything — the deposit guarantees, the loans, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, AIG — is now up to $9 trillion. The American GDP is only $14 trillion. So they’ve put more than half of the American economy on the line to try and fix a mess that actually cannot be fixed in this way.”

I hear that Thompson does cuss bad

when Davidemocratic Labour Party lose the next election what will happen to DAVID ?

Hopi, you ever spent any significant time in Barbados?

Can someone tell me if Evette King is at the Summit. It would be completely disgraceful for PM Thompson to have a no-personality dumb head ignorant excuse for a human tag along in the disguise to have a chance to meet PRESIDENT OBAMA.

Concerned //

Can someone tell me if Evette King is at the Summit

You need not worry, my friend you maybe slightly out of joint because it is not you or Owing but it could have been you had it not been for the massive corruption and mismanagement that you cast on this lovely island.

Get settled and accept that the electorate REJECTED YOU AND YOUR LOT FOR GROSS CORRUPTION AND FRAUD ie OWING, MOTTLEY, KERRIE SYMMONDS, CLARKE ETAL.

You maybe able to fool yourself but hardly likely to fool the rest of us out there.

You lie to your friends but do expect me to fall for that utter nonsense, you blog under so many names it is amusing, you even carry on conversations with yourself under different names like Dark Clown and Royal Mumbler, by the way still running errands for mottley?
And still feeding at Parliament daily Breakfast, Lunch and dinner at taxpayers expense??

@ concerned
If I was Hartley Henry, I would let everyone know that I am not only a regional political stragetist but also an international somebody.
This man has great accomplishments and he is very intelligent and successful.
Jealous are we?

Wondering,

this is not just any blog post, this is a post written by propagandist in chief for the current government. THIS post in particular was political from the get go.

Isn’t Wallace the trinidad investor who closed the down the fancy arcade in hastings because Thompy promised him a casino license and didn’t deliver? Please confirm.

@ wondering
You are perfectly correct. It is time for less talking and more action.

Fellow bloggers would you believe that it has now been almost three weeks that I sent a copy of a conveyance to the management of this blog to post for me and they have not to date posted it. BU if you have not received it please let me know so that I can resend it or let me know if you have difficulty posting the document.

I sent you the copy of the conveyance as proof that Thompson is far from squeaky clean.

The conveyance is for a parcel of land purchased between Parris and Thompson for the cash price of $925.000.00. It was purchased under the company name MAFA Investments Inc., which is the first letters in the names of their wives- Mara, Thompson’s wife and Fay, Parris’ wife.

Barbadians do not understand the full extent of this two-headed beast. Thompson’s over generous assistance to Clico is more than a need to protect the company. It is really to protect Parris and through the use of taxpayers money to keep he and Parris and their friends spending the policyholder’s funds and jetting around the world on Clico’s private jet. A jet purchased by the funds of policyholders of Clico.

The Dems may like to talk about who is corrupt but I can provide the evidence as to who is truly corrupt. Tell me, had this kind of alliance between Parris and Thompson occurred in England, USA or one of the other countries that uphold integrity laws wouldn’t Thompson be forced to resign?

I have a lot of credible information on persons in this government that are corrupt as you can ever be and I am willing to send them to fellow bloggers if they so desire.

DLP Dishonestly Claims Credit for Obama’s Success in the United States:

Are you surprised?

That is what Rev. Errington Messiah says dishonest want-to-be political strategists do and that hartley “the corrupt” henry, a.k.a, Wishing In Vain – is no exception.

According to Rev. Messiah, consistent with his ego, and driven by a desire for social class acceptance – both hartley and the DLP dishonestly try to claim credit for the many successes of President Obama in America – as a desperate attempt to downplay the DLP’s failure and share incompetence to bring about the meaningful change in Barbados they promised and to justify occupying this country’s prime real estate in Bay Street, on a daily basis.

Messiah may be a die-hard-dem but he likes President Obama more and wishes David Thompson could be remotely like President Obama.

The majority of Barbados accepts that the DLP is a dishonest political institution.

Still, they are disappointed that the DLP could stoop-so-low, as to try to claim credit for tourism arrival during the first quarter of 2008 (January – March), even though the marketing for that was done a year previous.

The DLP came to office on January 15 2008, you know!!!

yet, claims credit for all of the good things done by the BLP government between January 1st and 14th, as well as during the 14 years before.

Consistent with the DLP’s vulgarity – David Thompson now tries to claim credit for the fact that Barbados has been given high marks for implementing all of the decisions emanating from the Summit of the Americas since between 1994 and 2008.

It is ugly that David Thompson would dishonestly give the impression that those decisions had to do with a Prices and Incomes Protocol.

What a liar – whose words cannot be trusted!!!

That explains precisely why hartley “the clown” henry, a.k.a, Wishing In Vain – advises that whenever David Thompson speaks, someone should record him because he is prone to tell a lie – immediately after every ten words he utters.

This country is in crisis!!!

Here is the proof: According to Dennis Kellman, Barbados has “an unofficial fishing agreement” with Trinidad and Tobago.

Not to be out done, David Thompson said that the Arawak Cement Company should put a welcome sign on its roof for visitors entering the country to see.

Ester Byer Suckoo advises that in order to save electricity, Barbadians should pull-out their fridge plus when not in use.

You see how this country has been D’ minished and D’ valued.

Barbados is being run by a bunch of clown, and mad men with clownish tendencies.

The DLP is scraping the bottom of the barrel and is now claiming credit for Obama’s success.

But when it snows in the dessert, you know “someting wong! wong! wong!”

Here is the MAFA conveyance document.

I think wishing and vain has a strange obsession with Sylvan Greenidge. Maybe they were lovers.

@Dark Knight

As you can see from the attached picture Prime Minister Thompson had his moments to be seen with Obama.
