    This is a forum for serious discussion especially in these challenging times that require tremendous brainpower and human energy to see this poor country through the pending rough seas.

    @ lemuel:

    Barbados is seen by the economic chess players working in the international monetary factory in a similar light that military generals play war games.
    The game goes like this:

    How come a 2×3 developing country- with little or no natural resources, with a small population primarily of African descent and with a colonial past in which the natives never fought for political freedom or removal of domination of its economy by foreign corporations – can punch so much above its weight and provide its people with a high standard of material living, free education up to university level, health and other social services that are the envy of the so –called developed world?

    We must find out what kind of mettle these people are made of. We will lend them some big money to buy Japanese and Chinese consumer toys to make them feel they have arrived to first world status. But like true loan sharks we will make them pay through their teeth and keep them on the treadmill of debt and dependence.

    Will they jump off and land safely or like their other third world cousins fall off and crash?

    Stay tune for the outcome of the game in 6 months time. The players are in town and ready to take the filed of play.

    Not filth but serious stuff that has implication for national affairs

    I tried to spell the rest did not succeed; however, I am not too worried about the chess players; I am worried about the starve out, hand to mouth politicians that we elected to govern us, both sides of the isle. The “chess players” come from an environment where they play out their games theoretically before they try it actually. They will give our politicians anything so as to get them to go along with their little experiment. Barbados is only a village globally. When we are allowed to fail then models can be constructed with the what ifs to see how that would relate to profits on a larger scale. Right now much of europe is ripe for the taking. But remember the technique in the world war 2; they ensured that some place was designated as a safe haven for their money. Something needs to fail for they have to be sure how to protect their wealth.

    No! My imagination can’t stretch that far. But I can see you being taken there on a sleigh by the same reindeer for your annual colonoscopy at Xmas time. Or maybe a jackass cart with you in front and the product of the no. 2 business in the cart would be more suited to the environment in which you operate.

    Leave the woman alone! One can only know the intricate details of another person’s private activities if you are an integral player in the game.

    Miller the A will be fine!

    What is your take on the proposition that the village Barbados will soon (say by July 2012) find itself having to undergo “special measures” in order to shore up its foreign reserves. It might have to cash in some of its gold bullion reserves to make ends meet if its residents don’t reduce their thirst for foreign consumer goods and big living (overseas luxury travel). Some of that figure of foreign reserves reported by the CBB is just a lot of paper work and book-keeping recordings of non-liquid assets.

    I doubt very much if that level of foreign reserves in liquid or near-liquid forms are floating around in the banking system.

    To MillerA:
    That special measures move maybe the fulcrum that the game players are waiting on. That will be the opportunity to craft a special deal to supply a source of foreign funds at a cost. Sandi did it. He took the funds; reduced salaries by 8%, reduced severance payments and set the field to destroy the NIS, which that joker Marshall will marshall over until the job is done. The american and european games theorists are at their wits end to find a model; Barbados might just be ripe for the picking at the right price with the right hand to mouth politicians to legislate it into law. They must have a guarantee that their funds shall be safe. Unlike some european countries we have nuff nuff resoect for the law. Notice our chief justice hails from the bowels of the beast called the usa. The europeans used that models to steal the south african and surrounding countries lands. They learned well from Hitler, who did the executed the same model in Germany. Who will the one to take the twenty pieces of sliver, which will be safely squirrel away to sell out the little boat with out a paddle who is up the creek?

    The hacking of the various sites or system in Barbados may not be coincidental it may be deliberate attempt to garner the prerequisite data for compilation of the game at hand. One has to know if one’s attacks can be countered.

    The way things are panning out makes interesting reading.
    Eric Holder (who?), our newly adopted son of the soil is turning out to be the most inept and reviled AG of recent times.

    Now an admitted perjurer, complicit in the supply of guns to Mexican drug cartels in return for federal protected cocaine imports into the US, and we name a building after this crook?

    Says a lot for Bajan standards, what next the Leroy Parris Centre for Enterprise. based in the old Hardwood Housing building at Six Roads.

    Very soon the GoB has to make a defining decision for once.

    After Israel’s soon coming attack on Iran, what side of the fence will Humpty Stuart fall on, the new willing benefactor – China, or the old, soon to be bankrupt- USA, willing to invade at the drop of a hat, desperate to retain what possible resources they can grab.
    Although frightening with the the real threat of WW3, but illuminating to the student of global power plays, when old empires are challenged by new.

    We live in dangerous times (weeks).

    You are on the right track ie most people end up spending their money at the rum shop! ( or equivalent wasting) The homes built adds to the wealth of Bim, if some buyers are too greedy or get divorced etc and lose their homes, that is not my problem assuming I did not offer ridiculous mortgage financing. People have to take responsibilty for their actions.

    Mia , why dont you leave the female discriminating BLP and along with some of the other neglected and disrespected BLP and DLP females and males form a new, formidable party. Many Barbadians love you and appreciated your representation of this country as a strong, confident acting prime minister and opposition leader. Your confidence and articulate speeches are sadly missed. Your time is now.
