BU continues our exposé of the secretive world of Peter Allard.  It is important for unsuspecting Barbadians to appreciate how  the tentacles of a rich foreigner could have and possible still can; compromise  the workings of the sovereign state Barbados.  Here is a report which was prepared by Canadian fugitive from justice, Donald Robert Best, who operates under the codename NATHAN, taken from the files of Kenneth William McKenzie in the Nelson Barbados matter. Bear in mind Peter Allard is a rich Canadian who has taken a liking to Barbados. He is the owner of the closed Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary.  He sanctioned and  paid all bills and along with the Knox family, was responsible for one of the worst international invasions of privacy, abuses of legal process and downright stinking behaviour ever to have been exposed anywhere in the world that we are aware. Please note that, although BU has a document which is in the public domain, a decision to redact the report out of respect for the privacy of certain individuals named was taken.

The report details:

• Collecting evidence and contacts on money laundering.
• Investigating and trying to obtain the names of Bajans with off-shore accounts and companies in the Marshall Islands (close to New Zealand).
• Attempting to establish contacts with and enlisting the interest and support of Jeanette Molina, a publicity-hungry and highly injudicious (if the report of Mr Best is to be believed) assistant district attorney with the New York County District Attorney’s office who, allegedly and according to Donald Best, “would be interested in pursing any case we [Allard, Best, Knoxes, McKenzie et al] bring her in the New York area”.
• Collecting the shredded documents from the garbage of David Shorey from his Saint Michael address (next door to the Canadian High Commissioner’s residence, the British High Commissioner’s residence and countless other diplomatic and government residences AND TO GOVERNMENT HOUSE) and shipping them to Canada to be re-assembled.
• Conducting property searches in the Miami and Fort Lauderdale areas on, among others, Mr Shorey, Lynne Marie Simmons (the daughter of Sir David and Lady Simmons), Leonard and Marcia Nurse, Dan and Shirley Sherman and the parents of Barbados’ leader of the opposition, Mia Mottley, Elliott and Amor Mottley. Mr Elliott Mottley Q.C. is the former attorney-general of Bermuda and a highly internationally respected jurist.
• Of particular concern, the surveillance, photographing and “staking out” of the Barbados Consulate in Miami. Further, the suggestion that John Knox and Jane Goddard be assigned the task of joining the stake-out for the purposes of identifying Bajans who visit Barbados’ Miami Consulate. BU has provided this evidence with the expectation that the Government of Barbados present it to the US State Department and to the Governor of Florida with an official diplomatic protest.
• The staking out of the new prison at Dodds and the surveillance and photographing thereof and of its suppliers, including listing their corporate names. This is a clear breach of Barbados’ own prison security.

All of it paid for and sanctioned by benefactor Peter Andrew Allard and the Knox family. These are the same people who have used valuable court time by laying claim they have been threatened. Despite it all Barbadians are known to be law-abiding and peaceful nation and, even under such extreme provocation, we will protect their legal rights, persons and properties as if they were our own and urge others to do the same. So that any violence done to them, real or mental – or imagined – or MANUFACTURED, will be self-inflicted.

Turning to the matter of Minister Denis Lowe, another Peter Allard former associate. Here is an update promised in an earlier blog:

BU questioned Minister Denis Lowe last week about his relationship with Peter Allard. The questions were triggered as a result of information we found in the files of K. William McKenzie. McKenzie, as is now well known, was the lawyer who has represented the Allards (corporately) in many court cases and Peter Allard and the Knox family in the Nelson Barbados Group court matter brought against Barbados and many prominent Barbadians. McKenzie was also responsible for paying the likes of Donald Best from out of the trust accounts of his law firm, Crawford, McKenzie, McLean, Duncan and Anderson LLP.

Although Minister Denis Lowe did not respond directly to BU, he did so through a surrogate. Here was the response the gist of which:

Dr Lowe makes no bones about being helped between the 2003 and 2008 Elections by Mr Allard in providing help with Summer Camps for 150 of our youth, a grass cutting program for the elderly of the community, and generally providing for the aged in the community.

To get to the bottom of this matter we searched the documents which were found in the McKenzie files (Duncan Exhibits A and B) to determine what payments were made (if any) to Lowe. We have to state that we did not find any record of McKenzie’s firm having paid anything to Denis Lowe, EXCEPT. The only reference to grass cutting was found in an e-mail from McKenzie to Allard in which Allard states to McKenzie that he has taken the sum of $1,000 from $8,000 (denomination unspecified) in his safe at Seaview, Chancery Land and given it to Dr Lowe for a grass cutting project involving youth – we will post this e-mail later, but ask the BU family to bear with us as we struggle through almost 100,000 pages of documents and sometimes misplace references – we are commentators and not lawyers.

In the interest of transparency we have listed what the records reflect for your information. Please note that “FEES IN CAD” refers to the fees paid by Allard to McKenzie in respect of McKenzie’s dealings with Dr Lowe and his “grass cutting project with youths”.

Dr Lowe’s “surrogate” also stated that Dame Billie Miller and Mr Reginald Farley had each been given $125,000 by Allard. We wish to state that after an extensive search of the McKenzie files and his firm’s dockets, NO SUCH REFERENCES CAN BE FOUND! BU stands by its position that, absent any kind of proof, these allegations against Dame Billie and Mr Farley are unsupported and scandalous, and renews its apologies to both. BU asks the question that, if Dr Lowe was present and a party to such alleged payments, why did he not report them at the time? Lack of integrity legislation perhaps? Or just plain lack of integrity?

In light of the evidence that BU has presented and will continue to present, it is obviously high time that the Barbados Government sent a note to the Canadian and US Governments declaring Peter Andrew Allard and his non-Bajan cronies (including Mr Heaslet) persona non grata in Barbados.

In its next report, BU will focus Peter Allard’s written views and conversations and correspondence with and from Barbados’ former Prime Minister Owen Arthur – AND ON THE SURVEILLANCE CARRIED OUT IN BARBADOS AND NEW YORK ON BEVERLEY ARTHUR, FORMER PRIME MINISTER ARTHUR’S EX-WIFE. It appears that even in the great USA the privacy of individuals is not safe from the machinations of Peter Allard and those who are at he beck and call.
