The following was posted by Artaxerses on the blog Notes From a Native Son: Reshuffling Sinckler Out of the Cabinet Needn’t Be Painful
Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler
Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler

Have we conveniently forgotten:

That the Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs, Christopher Sinckler said his life had been threatened and as a result, he is currently being ‘detailed’ by member of the local constabulary. He was reported as saying…..“On my way here I received a call from my secretary [telling me to] come back because a Superintendent from the Royal Barbados Police Force Special Services wanted to speak to me on a security matter… He told me that they had credible information that two people were overheard planning to shoot me.” What is the status of this investigation? Has the police Special Branch made any progress in determining the reason behind this alleged “hit” or the identities of the alleged “assassins”?

Sinckler’s comment that school children were being allowed to travel free on Transport Board buses as a measure of security, because they were being taken in and out of Barbados for the purpose of prostitution. Does not his statement contradict those reasons given by David Thompson’s during the 2008 budget presentation?

Sinckler’s revelation that he was reliably informed of a discussion held in a BLP secret meeting, which suggested…… should the BLP be elected to office in 2014, they would retrench 10,000 civil servants?

Will we be correct in viewing these comments as “red herrings”, the sole purpose of which, was to distract all and sundry from important issues, especially at a time when Sinckler was apparently under pressure?

Sinckler the politician = 100%
Sinckler as MoF = Reshuffle

    Ok PDC, look forward to see your strategy unfold to get your ideas to resonate. Good luck indeed.


  2. Artaxerxes,

    You asked: how will the Central Bank fit into this scheme of things?

    The following is fairly prescriptive and some what understandable.

    The Central Bank of Barbados will have to follow the directives of the ruling coalitional regime of Barbados.

    It is not even presumptuous to say right now that there are some people at the Bank, who have been studying our NO-TAXATION theory.

    Therefore, by such a time as a certain winning coalitional grouping would have become the government of this country, the Bank itself would not only have had a better grasp of the vision for the creation of a post-TAXATION society for Barbados, and a better understanding of many of national social political objectives the regime would be seeking to realize from the necessary implementation of various aspects of this NO-TAXATION theory, but would also have had a better grasp of the country wide material production and distribution objectives that the political regime will be seeking to realize from the putting place of those particular aspects.

    The Bank shall have to cooperate with the Commission for the Abolition of TAXATION. Some members of the Bank will sit on the Commission. Its mandate and terms of reference shall, et al, be to engage in the widest national consultations possible on the evolution towards a NO-TAXATION society, with as many citizens and many representatives of various business, professional, media, youth, women, sporting and other organizations and associations as possible in this country and beyond

    Anyhow, from the Bank’s understanding of the above mentioned objectives, it must have been able to develop various techniques and methods for successfully formulating and implementing different NO TAXATION theoretical models and their respective underlying postulates and predictive applications based on criteria proposals for operationalizing those alternatives to TAXATION and for their supporting structures and functions.

    Having created and studied these alternative models, the Bank must be in a position to give to the regime its position on which of those models is best to implement and setting forth the reasons why.

    Having indicated the best theoretical model, it must be able to tell the regime what needs to be politically legally changed within the entire governmental political material financial international systems to facilitate the implementation of the various aspects of the chosen model, and its setting forward of the reasons, politically financially etc.

    Thereafter the Bank will play a substantial role in making those aspects, the policy of the regime, and so by having regard to their integrity, validity, utility and soundness, their inclusion into the same policy of the various facets of the legal, legislative, technical, administrative and other implications and considerations of it.

    The Central Bank of Barbados will also put in place the right template out of various templates for measuring, controlling, monitoring the performances, strengths and weaknesses of the various aspects of the NO-TAXATION policy.

    The above is not intended to be an exact model of what will be done in making sure that the Bank plays a significant role in incorporating the relevant aspects of this NO-TAXATION theory into the scheme of things. It is just intended to serve as a guide.
