Wade Gibbons
Wade Gibbons

The following was extracted from Wade Gibbons’ Facebook Page. He is a reporter for Barbados Today and is a former policeman.

Some excellent administrative and proactive moves by acting Commissioner of Police Tyrone Griffith. He is going to make a terrific leader of the RBPF, a position he should have held a long time ago.

The phones of innocent law-abiding Barbadians could not have been tapped by Dimwit Dottin without the knowledge and participation of some in the Special Branch which Dottin once headed. It was an ongoing criminal act by Dottin, deserving of imprisonment and not pension, and as such the hierarchy of that specialised department should have squealed on the thug and not be drawn into his criminality. No commissioner of police – an incompetent one at that – can compel a police officer to commit a crime.

If the force is to be purged of Dottin’s criminal presence, then of necessity some house-cleaning has to be done in departments such as the Special Branch. One transferred from that department is as close to me as a brother and I love him as such but wrong is wrong. Now that the Dottin cancer has been removed the organs of the body should gradually start to heal and return to a state of normalcy. Full praise to Commissioner Griffith. May God guide your every move.

  1. @ Checkit-out
    What do you not understand? ..or is it not WANT to understand..?
    These are people who WORK FOR and on behalf of THE PEOPLE.

    Can you not see the difference between them and if we were talking about COW MB or some other PRIVATE person?

    If you worked for a large bank and accusations turned up in the public that you were a crook and had been involved in various illegal rackets…would you say to your boss …. Man frig you…bring proof?

    …..or would you GO TO HIS OFFICE AND QUICKLY AND CLEARLY EXPLAIN YOUR SITUATION?

    Well both MIA and the ex-COP worked FOR the people of Barbados by choice. If there are serious accusations in public alleging illegal activities on their part …how are you suggesting that they should say to us (their bosses) “frig wunna and bring proof”?

    If such accusations were made against a private citizen (like a bank president making a political contribution -bribe- to a political party) then Bushie would agree with the need to bring proof- cause he don’t wuk fuh we….

  3. A bunch of hypocrites on BU..no wonder we in a mess. These same people that pompersetting about wiretapping never did or will utter a word about the CLICO Forensic Audit. But hey yardfowlism is alive and well even if it is now more than corn beef and biscuits but a pick for $150/month on a constituency council or board.

    @ Wiretapping Anyone ? | August 2, 2013 at 9:47 AM |

    The more you write the more you expose yourself not as a lowly bald pooch cat but as a blasted high class jackass devoid of commonsense.
    If you know that there is sufficient evidence to prove Mr. Dottin broke the law was this evidence made available to the GG as a basis to terminate his services as the CoP? Why waste taxpayers’ money by using a most defective mechanism to dismiss him?
    Breaking the law is a rather serious charge against a public servant especially one entrusted to uphold the same law and can be used to justify dismissal in line with the Constitution.

    Until actions are taken to demonstrate that such evidence exists to dismiss Dottin without a pension and to face justice and also to revoke the instrument of election of Ms Mottley as a sitting member of the House in accordance with the general spirit of Sections 44 & 45 of the Constitution you should desist from dragging your red herrings across the BU pages.
    Do like a real decent cat and cover your mess before you are dismissed as a classless idiot of extremely poor intellectual pedigree.

    “Do not repeat anything you will not sign your name to.”

    BTW, poochie, have you ever wondered why there is this secret rush to seal the more ‘in depth’ CLICO forensic report from the eyes of the public. Why don’t you use your eavesdropping skills to find out such and you might just find out why LP is well protected by his big friends in high places.


  6. @enuff

    Yes, Babb has promised to bring the story at 430.

    “By the way is Four Seasons for sale in today’s Nation?”

    I wondered the same thing. It is also advertised in the Advocate today Aug 02, 2013 on page 54 under a heading “REQUEST FOR OFFERS TO PURCHASE AND DEVELOP PROPERTY” . It reads the usual “The Mortgagee invites offers to purchase and develop the property as described in the schedule below……” It is 31.3755 acres and the description about the situation of the land sure fits what we call “Four Seasons” .
    Offers to be sent to The Corporate Secretary, Clearwater Bay Limited by Sept 30, 2013.


  8. Sorry to say, but I am doubtful of Wade’s suggestion of wiretapping. It would have been political suicide for Mia or even Dottin to conspire of wiretapping since as you see it involved both political divide and who the hell is Wade Gibbons. He is no top ranking investigative reporter of the like of Al Gilkes or Timothy Slinger or Harold Hoyte. Maybe, he probably might be receiving documented information from someone within the angered ranks opposed to Dottin. How come we don’t have wiretapping on all the drug dealers or money launderers or murderers or people like Miller or even Bush Tea or David of BU. But we are hearing Wade phone tap. Give me a Break. Probably, this might be a partition to take us away from the economic stress we are encountering.


  9. LOL @ Tell me why
    …he who knows not and knows not that he knows not… is the happiest man at Kadooment and CPL.

    ….which is where we find most Bajans right…?

LOL to the world.

  11. David (not BU) Avatar

    wait, no CCC? or is CCC Wiretapping Anyone ?

    that would explain a lot.


  12. This is almost certainly a diversion from the economic pain the government has to inflict on us in exactly 11 days time. It is a diversion from the fact that the government is trying to hide the facts of the expensive CLICO matter from us. It is an attempt to demonize Mia Mottley. So maybe Mia wants to be Prime Minister. Is that a crime? In the Bible is says “it is a good thing for a man to desire the office of bishop. 21st century interpretation “It is a good thing for a woman to desire the office of Prime Minister.

    And no I am not Mia’s friend, nor lover, nor party member. I’ve never met her nor voted for her. Don’t know Wade either nor any of the people mentioned in his essay. But some of the people on this blog are setting up Mia as a witch so hat they can then burn her at the stake.

    Does the government of Barbados have the technical ability to wiretap?
    I believe do.

    Has the government of Barbados both parties ever wire tapped anybody’s communications? I believe so, both parties.

    Will both parties continue to wire tap. I believe so.

    Do they always obtain court orders to wiretap?
    They should.

    But I am sceptical whether they have and whether they will.

    Am I a member of any political party? No.

    Have I ever been a member of any political party? No.


  13. Just as some people are setting up the workers in Barbados by telling them that they are lazy and implying that they ar no good.

    But it has always been so.

    Throughout Barbados’ history the majority of workers were told that they were lazy, and no good and deserved the poor wages and poor working conditions inflicted on them, and yet…

    for much of this time the Barbadian worker made this place one of the most productive places on earth, and Barbadian workers produced billions of dollars for other people, most of whom never spent a minute in the sun in their entire lives.

    And Barbadian workers are still doing this even while reproducing the Barbadian work force, and raising the next generation of Barbadian workers, and raising and nursing and teaching and and feeding and chauffering the children of those who call us lazy.


  14. Simple Simon……………….i should think by now that black bajans should recognize the pattern and do something about changing it, they are in the majority and the ones who actually keep the wheels of the economy in Barbados well greased and running smoothly so others can become millionaires and boast, look down upon them and denigrate……….time to change the pattern. We all know who the lazy ones really are, time to do something or remain in the cycle.


  15. Working on it.

  16. David (not BU) Avatar

    here is a question for the conspiracy theorist. BU has been up both government asses. as David pointed out. MAM wanted to shut down the blogs. are you telling me with the power she and Dottin had/has they can’t get this done?

    are they that incompetent?
    are the ones running BU?
    did they hide this equipment from this government?
    is this government that incompetent? don’t answer that one.

    these and more questions. stay tune for more.


  17. In summary here is what we know so far:

    Bowen in a sworn affidavit accused Dottin of wiretapping his phone. In response Dottin refuse to respond on the grounds that it was a national security matter. Bowen was suspended on half pay was reinstated by the PSC with full colours.

    Gibbons, a for CID officer posted the above on his FB page which was subsequently removed.

    What the above confirms is that the opportunity for the police to wiretapp is available. We will have to wait for more info. To line up based on political position is a nonsense.


  18. @ David[BU]

    It is obvious that some of the BU population is not to widely read for if such were the case your namesake David (not BU) might have heard of Wikileaks, and Lasange and virtual servers and all of that hoblegook and hiding ip ‘s and tings (de granson talk to me but i ent remember half of what he said)

    What i do remember is that Joop.net and Megaupload were closed down by the FBI AFTER OPERATING OVER 10 years!!!

    Dottin is not the sharpers tool in the shed and, believe it or not the Computer unit at the CID does not even have an email address.

    De granson he me that once he call to have them investigate a particular cybercrime and dem give him a yahoo address causing dem cuntputer and de fax machine was not working.

    @ Sage,

    On the Anatomy of Interrogating an Idiot.

    Intelligence in War by John Keegan speaks to the age old practice of acquiring information but it is to be noted that acquisition of information from the Mossad is, on the difficulty scale pegged as easier that getting it from an idjit.

    Greenverbs, irrespective of his uncanny ability to have duped people of their money, and to have acquired some rich, some dead, yet living, friends, is an idjit.

    To pierce the veil of protection is harder than trying to find out what Mara has done with all the millions diverted to Families First.

    Say what you will about Plantation Deeds ability to be on every blog, every day, repeating the Violet beckles plight, his comments regarding the incestuousness nature of this (legal) fraternity manifest itself in the way they clam up when a question is asked about greenverbs.

    Unless you get a drunken “brother” in the fold of GreenVerbs, or a disgruntled colleague, or a disaffected victim who in being really intimate with him, interpreted “sans protection”, as a backlash talking, people fear disseminating info on this character since he is part of the sacrosanct David Thompson memory.

    We ascribe too much intelligence to this man. He is no Peter harris

    Leroy GVerbs was just the right place at the right time, practicing his inveterate obsequiousness with the right people, nothing more or nothing less.

    Verbs is not protected by Any “Intelligence Veil” like Mia his is more a “Mantle of Idiocy” augmented by specific people in the know, keeping what they know secret, for the time being.

    ARV does that to people, its stigma, like its cousins, homosexuality and lesbianism brings allegiances and loyalties into the clear light of day here in Bulbados, during grand denouements or cussouts.

    Stay tuned

  21. @Wiretapping. “You sit back and relax it will manifest itself in good time. Not in your time in good time.”

    You have uttered accusations that certain people have committed criminal acts. “Good time” does not cut it.

  22. Right vs Wrong Avatar

    The First Commissioner of Police of Barbados to have ever been involved in Criminal Activity is a pretty serious charge against this man and forms part of the recommendation why he should be severed from around the RBPF.

    I don’t need to say much more other than to add that the evidence of his dishonesty in service to Mottley is damaging and dangerous and undesirable and he should have gone before he came, we have never had a corrupt Commissioner of Police or corrupt Police Force before and he has been outstanding by the level of corruption both he and Mottley have inflicted on Barbadians.


  23. I have no brief for Dottin or Mia. But this is the first time in Barbados History that we had a police force that actually solve crime under the leadership of Dottin.
    What about the unsolved murders – Pele case, the Bayne lady and the canefield murders.
    The problem with “Wiretapping Anyone” might be the fact of seeing the amount of drug busts weekly including the solve murders and law and order displayed by the Police Force. Again I ask, What about wiretapping the drug lords? Ask Wade why he is not in the CID today.
    Do you have soething to hide WA?


  24. Tell me Why | August 3, 2013 at 12:30 PM | Not sure what planet you are on, but it isn’t Earth. Best go see a good therapist and get some effective meds. Hallucination is NOT good.


  25. The only planet I know is Barbados and the police have been solving more crimes including drug busts and murders for the past ten years and that’s a fact.


  26. This is the result of giving fools un-bridled access to technology! They’ve got to abuse it foolishly. There’s way too much “Lab-Rat” tv which encourages people like Dottin to pursue lofty goals for which he has no in-bred abilities to achieve. Shows like CSI NY, CSI Miami and other shows which seek to glorify policing as some great scientific work worthy of praise and admiration are, in my opinion, threats to good civil society. Policing is a community effort which should be undertaken by the humblest of persons who clearly understand the vast responsibility thrust anon them. Not those who wish to be exalted on high like gods!
    So Dottin and his “Special Branch” who were given equipment by those guys from the East which allows them to ILLEGALLY intercept cell-phone conversations between cell-to-cell and land-line to cell endpoints needed to be implemented with controls and accountability. What I find most disturbing is the fact that as much as it has contributed to the rise in drug bust and convictions of those guilty of crimes, it doesn’t seem to ever get those corrupt police who are complicit in these activities. I guess its programmed to send special “beeps” to the phones of those persons when they are being monitored letting them know to “keep it clean!”
    And just on a point of interest, who watches the watchers? Who is responsible for maintaining the integrity of the people who watch us and the data they collect?
    So Barbados now wants to emulate the US and Great Britain and become a “Big-Brother” society with the sole purpose to keeping the status quo alive? That’s quite fine. They will soon discover which god they are really serving.


  27. @Watcher

    Are you in a position to speak to the technology used to wiretap in Barbados?


  28. I think that we all need to look at the bigger picture…..
    If wire tapping is really going on, then the person keeping the noise about it all should be the criminal or the criminal minded.
    We are in a crisis and its clear that unemployment and crime is a hand in hand thing.
    I the wire tapping can help stop some of the criminal activity why the hell not.
    I personally don’t care if its my phone being tapped and this is due to the fact that I don’t do anything wrong.
    What I believe though is if it was started under the B’s it will continue under the D’s.
    Like when the VAT was implemented, lots of talk but it continued under the next administration.


  29. @ David
    You ask an interesting question and from which vantage point an answer is being sought I am unsure. Additionally, the very folk who this blog serves to expose and seeks to “rat-out” are sometimes masquerading here as legitimate posters who, behind their veils, attempt to either discredit other bloggers or attempt to gather and collect as much information as possible regarding whom is posting information about them.This is not to point an accusitory finger in any direction, but conversely it is not to extend blind trust in any of those possible directions either.
    So to answer your question I will say this: ” I am in a strong position to speak about the technology and techniques used in these activities”
    How or where I’ve gained such knowledge will remain confidential. What remains here is the big picture, that is, “The activity being undertaken against citizens, political opponents and other individuals in this country without the proper systems and structures of governance in place.”
    Lets get that solved first!

    “I don’t need to say much more other than to add that the evidence of his dishonesty in service to Mottley is damaging and dangerous and undesirable and he should have gone before he came…”

    it is only under Dottin that we have seen many cold case murder cases being solved as well as many drug bust occurring and criminals being caught, so even tho we might be inclined to call Dottin all kinds of names, i am starting to believe that he was purposely removed not for the public’s sake but because his agenda was to stamp out drugs and he seemed to be mashing ‘somebodies’ corns…SMH


  32. Some on this blog question the how in wiretapping. The following report should be useful to clarify for the doubting Thomases.

    Former administration was eavesdropping on citizens — Grenada PMMonday, August 05, 2013
    ST GEORGE’S, Grenada (CMC) — Grenada Prime Minister Dr Keith Mitchell told legislators that equipment capable of intercepting communications had been purchased by the previous administration.
    “We found one piece that has the ability to monitor a person’s home from as far a half a mile away. All they needed to do was zoom into the house and listen to whatever was being discussed,” Mitchell told legislators, as Parliament debated the 2013 Interception Communications Bill.
    Grenada has no legislation outlining penalties for any person illegally intercepting communications. The new bill provides for law enforcement officials to apply to a Court for an order before intercepting anyone’s communication.
    Mitchell, whose New National Party (NNP) won all 15 seats in the February 19 general election, said he is convinced that there were some people close within the Tillman Thomas administration who engaged in illegal interception of communication.

    Caswell & David

    Looks like Darwin Dottin and his high powered team of lawyers didn’t get any sympathy from Madam Justice Reiffer with the application for injunctive relief.

    There is no basis in law for a Court, any Court to force employer to keep an employee they wish to terminate. The trite employment law so I was surprise when stove pipe lawyer Caswell claimed Darwin Dottin would succeed with his application for injunctive relief.


  35. Hopefully Caswell who has been MIA will defend his position.

    Can’t really defend the indefensible dude. Darwin Dottin will also loose his wrong dismissal case but truth be told from the very beginning a lot of people DD is really fighting someone else’s battle, an attempt at containing the evidence of his wiretapping from reaching the public and incriminating some public figure(s)

    The miller is not backing DD on this one since he should have packed it in when the fiasco with the two British rape victims came to an embarrassing head and internationally projected Barbados as some two-bit backwater banana republic.

    But lying Cuthbert, when he loses his wrongful dismissal case (as you seem so cocksure about using your mole contacts in the judiciary) would the taxpayers be relieved of the financial burden of paying him a gratuity and pension for life? Or would you advise your dirty dealing administration to strike a deal with the man you accused of illegal wiretapping?

    How would that affect the price of bread and rice or even sugar for the unemployed and the many who would soon be on the breadline as the country has to deal with its past excesses in conspicuous consumption, lies, deceit and cooking of the books like the Greeks?
    Nemesis is on its way, Cuffy the pseudo Englishman.


  41. From the time the Government changed Dottin shoulda gone home. Dottin thought too much of himself because he had a Law Degree. Degrees does turn some people ‘s head. A lot of these people feel that the Government and people of Barbados owe them something because they ‘have a degree’. None of them wont start a business of course that takes creative imagination, not the lap dog behaviour as evidenced with a Government/Civil Service Job


  42. “He is going to make a terrific leader of the RBPF, a position he should have held a long time ago.”

    Is that why he did not apply for the vacant post of Deputy because he was aware of the move to remove Mr Dottin and put him in charge.

    Are you sticking to your guns that Mr Dottin has withdrawn his case despite the denial from Mr Dottin’s attorney.

    Why was Mr Dottin’s dismissal not recommended to the Governor Geneal if there is all that evidence of wrongdoing by Mr Dottin.

    You don’t understand that for are practical purposes Darwin has been FIRED? Don’t mind the pretty language used to tell him ” man left the people place do”


  44. If Dottin’s use of the English Language,purposeful,crisp,clear, legato in style and delivered with lots of finesse is anything to go by,I would suggest Barbados is the poorer for this man’s passing of the baton.On the other hand the acting COP appears typical of the junior ranks of policeman who thrives on bullying language,shouting and terrifying in delivery as evidenced at the just passing out parade shown on TV last week.If that is what makes a successful COP then we have a first class candidate in the post.Not my choice however.If you have ever been addressed by the average UK bobby,you would appreciate the likes of Dottin.His legal training is icing on the cake.


  45. At long last Darwin Dottin has been sent packing by the law courts. Caswell ‘ the eat ah food’ Franklyn, has once again ‘lost’ a court case.

    First , it was Jeff Broomes at Alexandra school. (Caswell swore that the taxpayers would have to pay Jeff Broomes millions $$$ , if he is moved from Alexandra ). (Caswell lost that one)

    Secondly, Caswell swore that Dottin would have returned to his CoP position.

    (Caswell lost that case too ). !!!
