An Open Letter to the Prime Minister and the Chief Justice

Prime Minister Freundel Stuart

Dear Sirs,

BU has come across seemingly incontrovertible evidence that warrants both of your immediate investigation. The evidence involves Mr Justice Olson Alleyne. Evidence suggests that Mr Justice Alleyne continues to practice law under the business name of “Olson Alleyne Legal”, despite his elevation to the Bench and has indulged in the practice of law during his tenure on the Bench, even up to the present day. We are satisfied that as little as 14 days ago, counsel received correspondence from Olson Alleyne Legal signed by another lawyer on behalf of Mr Olson Alleyne. If proved, this constitutes gross and dismissible misconduct and we refer you to section 84 of the Constitution, to be easily found  online.

This is a matter of the gravest possible national importance. It requires investigation and explanation forthwith. BU, out of fairness and to permit you to conduct an immediate investigation, will refrain for the present from publishing the evidence. You are encouraged to contact us should you wish to avail yourself of this evidence and we will make arrangements to have it delivered to you. We await your expeditious response. It would be a great mistake to test our resolve on this one.

If there is no interest shown in this matter by officialdom we will interpret this to mean you have no problem with BU pursuing this matter in the public space of the Internet.

    I know you want company but sorry guy (or piece of guy) I am not a member of your tribe, the Bottoms-Up fellows.

    In case you have forgotten the BLP is not the government and you are no longer the Minister (or Mistress) of Health. The only issue of health you should be concerning yourself with now is your own personal health.

    Your girl Mia says she wants another General Election. If she feel OSA done she would be wise to kill (politically) the snake in her own house before launching into battle with the other enemy.

    She is still two steps away from Prime Minister.

    But seriously, what sense is there to wanting to become Prime Minister simply as a result of realizing a career goal? What does Mia or any of the current crop of public figures bring to the table that the rest of us can really make use of?

    Why not focus on what needs to be done and avoid the ego stroking … but that’s just silly ol’ me trying to think out loud

    I have 17 patents and patents pending in several areas border crossing, anti-kidnapping, tsunami dampers, shallow draft landslide prevention mantles, census and elections, wildfire suppression mantles a whole slew of inventions and solutions.

    The point i would wish to make is that i am not a slouch with regard to legal protection that one is encouraged to get for various concepts.

    The problem does not lie in taking the steps to protect what is yours it lies in (i) the partners that you seek to collaborate with stealing your IP and (ii) the costs of enforcing one’s rights under the impotent laws of one’s country.

    Try to defend your house with a gun with no bullets when intruders are breaking in.

    The intruders in my matter I purport are the same governments that are supposed to enforce the provisions of my patent under the World Intellectual Property Organisation treaties that they have signed.

    Imagine that you are robbed and when you call the Police, the Commissioner of Police refuses to take your call and then actively ensures that none of his officers render any assistance to your matter.

    I will probably leave this sphere without my CARICOM matter being heard and the right for a speedy case that i am supposedly guaranteed under the constitution of Barbados will peter off into the wind but, if someone came into your house and robbed you at gunpoint of your valuables the two of you would assuredly protect what is yours.

    Intellectual Property is an asset like your jewellery, your car and other tangible things you you save and buy. The intangible that i own is no less an asset and i purport it is making companies like Accenture US10 Billion dollars.

    When you go off on your trips to America I purport that the passport swiping mechanisms that you use at GAIA are mine. ( I am starting to sound like Plantation Deeds yes?)

    Imagine that you are working at a government/private sector office and you dont get paid for your work yet the people who you work for are using your produce and getting a handsome income from it.

    Tell me if you are going to be happy when your bills come in at the end of the month, with them getting paid and you starving.

    Answer me if you are going to keep your mouth shut Amused and Islandgirl246?

    Do not think that i have paused in my development of other solutions,

    I serve a Living GOD who does not slumber nor sleep

    Each day HE provides and proves your comment on moving forward to develop new solutions to myriad issues to be true.

    I never stopped because of CARICOM in fact, it is as a result of this slight blockage that i moved onto other vistas.By the end of this year i will have another 10.

    Here is the real thing though.

    What an inventor has to work on is the monetization process for these ideas, the “from-thought- to-market” process, and that is the really challenging thing, you need money for that.

    And i want you to realise that the same way that you work on developing a solution (like you might pursue gainful employ each day) there are trolls that wait to poach your technology (like the thieves that linger by your house and break in while you are at work) and things that you have taken years to develop, they steal in 5 minutes

    Now here is a case of a classic brainless Dummy response to a most pressing matter of vital importance to the nation; the state of our main public health institution.
    And look at the reaction we got. A congenital fixation with people’s “bottoms”.
    What kind of anal freak are you?

    Can’t you employ the other top end of your body and think productively instead of talking arrant crap that seem to have met some kind of permanent blockage preventing its expulsion from your rear end?

    Man, do yourself a favour and raise your BU profile by at least responding to the proposal put on the table about a special lottery to help fund the vital upgrading of our lone national health institution.

    Forget about Walcott and his ilk including your perceived sexual alter ego the miller and make some kind of meaningful contribution to save this country from further socio-economic degradation. Or do you think you are really doing a fantastic job and the country is firing on all cylinders?
    Déjà vu 1992 all over again!

    Sorry Dummy if the miller is talking over your intellectual head or you trying to punch above your weight. But the only way to fight the air of ignorance stored in a dummy is to first deflate with the sword of knowledge.

    @David Weekes. Patents are not my field, but I know a lot of people whose field they most certainly are – and NONE OF THEM PRACTICE IN BARBADOS. That is not to say that I do not have an excellent working knowledge of IP and related issues. Because I most certainly do.

    I am well aware that Barbados is a signatory to certain conventions on IP related matters. I set them out, not to show off, but because there is inevitably a vast degree of overlapping and no little difficulty with them (which is why experience is required). Also, they may be of some interest and use to others in your boat:

    • The Paris Convention (dealing with industrial property rights)
    • The Berne Convention (dealing with copyright)
    • The Stockholm Convention (at which the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) was established)
    • The TRIPS Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights including trade in counterfeit goods
    • The Patent Cooperation Treaty
    • Convention on the Grant of European Patents
    • Strasbourg Agreement Concerning the International Patent Classification
    • Patent Law Treaty adopted at Geneva 2 June 2000

    Now, if you can point me to a single attorney in Barbados who knows how all these conventions work and inter-link, and, more importantly, HAS EXPERIENCE OF THEM, I would be happy to know their names. Really happy. It is, frankly, outside of the experience of most (likely all) Barbados attorneys and by saying that, I mean them no disrespect whatever. You must also take on board that the local legislation in these areas of law in Barbados is in the dark ages.

    I take your point and agree about our hopeless justice system. Therefore, what you have to do is to apply for those patents somewhere else – like the USA, the UK or Canada. That effectively means that if those patents are not respected, you can forget about the Barbados courts and go to countries where the courts actually do work. I suggest that you find a major law firm that spans those three major countries.

    As for your business partners, well that is your concern and if you misjudge them, your problem.

    Now, like Plantation Deeds, you do not have to take my advice at all. If you want guidance on an international law firm, then I will axe a few questions. Otherwise, all the very best of luck to you – you do actually deserve it.

    @Islandgal. I would have to read the appropriate international accords to answer your question about whether Weekes could take his matter to the World Court, and I really don’t have the time right now. If it is international in scope, likely yes he could take action. If not, likely no, he could not take action. That is why I am suggesting that he make all future patents and transactions outside of Barbados so that they are international in scope and jursidiction.

    @Miller. I am in awe. Your posts have been a joy to read. With all due respect to MAM, I wonder if you would not be better to lead the BLP at the next election. I would vote for you like a shot.

    We registered our trademark in the US via a company which specialises in such things, and they may well also deal with patents. The you are well away from the local corruption. I found them to be very professional and also reasonable when it comes to price. I ask David of BU if it is permissible to publish their name on BU.

    Your moniker says it all. It encapsulates everything that is good about you living in a small island cocoon of raging homophobic madness suffering from a serious lack of intellectual substance. What you want to do next? Burn me at the stake or lynch me from a tree in a gully?

    Forget the bulling tendencies of the miller and put some thing of intellectual value on the table for BU consumption. Don’t you see the quality of debates pursued and fruitful ideas that can be engendered when people of commonsense and integrity make interesting contributions?

    When are you going to join the queue and take your place at the table of the intelligentsia?
    For starters, let us hear your views on this homo’s proposal about non-central government (alternative) sources of funding to upgrade the QEH to make it fit for purpose of our people.

    Please, no more homo repartees unless they are about Homo sapiens, (if you get the message).
    It is most unbefitting of a King. Leave that to a Dummy!
    We want to hear contributions of intellectual royalty not common class shite from a regal fool!
    As you can see you can’t win the war of words so retract your verbally dull épée and come again with something of intellectual value worth fighting over.

    @Islandgal and @Miller. I posted this on another more recent blog on BU that deals with – guess what – matters gay. But is seems that the geographically confused World Atlas has chosen this particular blog on which to favour us with his views on homosexuality. I thought we were discussing a moonlighting judge. However, so as not to further perplex poor confused World Atlas, here it is:

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2336889/Gay-parents-healthier-children-better-self-esteem.html

    I noted that some of us have relatives (children, siblings, grandchildren) who are gay – and you know what? We love them just the way they are and we would change not a single thing about them. And their partners become members of our families. And if someone doesn’t like it, they can kiss our collective ass.

    @World Atlas. You will, if you concentrate very hard indeed, find a blog upon which to vent your anti-gay sentiments. Let me help you. It is submitted by our friend and BU family member St George’s Dragon and it is entitled “Is Marriage an Institution Between One Man and One Woman?” Right here on BU – posted yesterday. Knowing your georgraphical confusion and not wishing to tax what the paucity of the English language forces me to refer to as “your brain” too much (or at all – as there seems to be none there) the URL (on which you can click – I suppose you know how to click – just) can be found at http://bajan.wordpress.com/2013/06/10/is-marriage-an-institution-between-one-man-and-one-woman/.

    Happy reading.

    If you are procreation…then those humans who are incapable of reproducing should be locked away forever? So if your sister or old aunt or brother or uncle couldn’t procreate then they too should be shunned?

    Whether Amused is trusted or not is, you will agree incidental to whether his english mirrors that of an 11 year old. I didn’t think Amused needed someone like you to carry the battle for him, does he?

    I never talked or opined on the need to shun anyone, period……..so get your facts right Ellen. The problem with the homosexual argument is that anyone who does not support bulling or wicking is deemed anti-gay, that is patent nonsense. Everyone is entitled to their views and opinions especially when it comes to issues of morality.

    Its like to trying to say that anyone who does not support the death penalty (for whatever reason) is pro-murder.

    @Islandgal. I have provided “the map” with directions to the article on which all this is being discussed. I am not engaging him on the subject of homosexuality on this particular article. Indeed, from here on in, if he is not addressing the subject matter of the article, I will do as I did to the two recently departed bloggers and simply scroll down. Recommend that we all do the same. I have a suspicion that Well Well and Look have now metamorphosed into “the map”.

    @newblood | June 15, 2013 at 5:13 PM | I am not aware of it, but I am surprised by nothing these days. If you have hard evidence, please post it. It is very important that these things he disclosed and dealt with. Only thus can we do something about the growing international perception (brought about almost single-handedly by the justice system) of Barbados as being a banana republic.

    In the case of the judge, if the allegations are correct, he is not only guilty of gross misconduct but has also committed a criminal act. So too, I believe, would any members of cabinet have done, if they continue to practice law while being members of cabinet.

    A law degree does not confer on one the right to practice law in Barbados. Only a current practicing certificate can do that.

    I’m so sorry I missed this debate. The whole thing is, as usual, orchestrated by Amused.

    Well Well

    You are the underdog. It’s not particularly pleasant is it? I note you gripe, quite properly, at being rubbished simply because you take a cautious approach, as also Caswell who has more commonsense than most on here. Yet…..I don’t see you hesitate at all now to rubbish when it comes to the expression of views opposed to yours when yours are the majority views. Did they ‘lick’ you into shape here then?

    Caswell

    You find this post distasteful. So do I. “We shall not hesitate to…”….Amused-speak. Oh give us a break from the nastiness of this shallow turd.

    BAF

    My heart. You have become institutionalized. Six months ago I would NEVER have expected YOU of all people to show or counsel respect to anyone on here by reason of length of service . Indeed, why should we do that? Crap is still crap even if graced by wrinkles.

    A substantive point not mentioned as far as I can see….

    Any person appointed to the judiciary is permitted a reasonable time to wind up his practice – else his clients are left rudderless. The standard way of dealing with this is to hand the work over to associates.

    I see Mr Weekes acknowledges the integrity of Olson Alleyne. Having known him for 20 years, so do I. As a judge, he manifestly has considerable judicial quality. The Faery Queen, by contrast, I would cheerfully throw down the Supreme Court Building steps..His record on BU for lies and distortion is legion for those who have ears to hear. And if here – what of the rest? Yeah right. Sue me. Or report me to the PM. Oh gee…he’s gonna report me………
