David Thompson’s Punctured Legacy
The Thompsons
The FIFA corruption scandal has confirmed the nature of humankind and our ever present fallibility. The epicentre of the investigation struck close to home with key decision makers in CONCACAF – including former Vice President Jack Warner[…] indicted by the FBI. Warner […] given notice he is prepared to squeal, a decision which gives an appreciation of the wrongdoing individuals are prepared to guard for reasons of greed and spiritual wickedness. As the FIFA saga unfolds Barbadians wonder if local officials will be mentioned. The unfolding scandal caused BU to reflect on the meaning of legacy. There is a type of legacy defined by money and there is a legacy defined by respect. The BU household, by our living, will want our legacy to be one where we are remembered with love and respect. This is something all the money in world CANNOT buy. The late prime minister David Thompson encouraged former President of the Barbados Football Association (BFA) to not relinquish the post although he was a sitting Cabinet member. One is left the question why, it appeared to be a nobrainer, if not a conflict of interest, certainly a distraction from the more important responsibility of minister of education and human resource development. Allegations continue to fly about FIFA dollars used to finance the general election campaign of Kamla Persad-Bissessar. Former FIFA Vice President Jack Warner was chairman and co-leader of the United Nation Congress Party (UNC).
Back to the late David Thompson: What legacy has he left for his children? There is sufficient information in the public domain to support the conclusion David Thompson colluded, manipulated, and masterminded the swindling of CLICO policyholder’s funds. This is difficult for BU to admit because we held high hope for the Thompson led government on the 15 January 2008. Why should Mara Thompson and company be able to spend monies siphoned from CLICO companies. The time has come for Mara Thompson to be asked some very hard question. Although she was named recently in a court filing by the CLICO judicial manager greater pressure from the citizenry must be brought to bear by highlighting one of the greatest injustices perpetrated on thousands of Barbadians.
Many, including BU, have started to question the length of time this government has taken to provide remedy to CLICO policyholders after five years of dillydallying. It must be purpose work!

A VOICE FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE
MEMO from DT to the BLP RABBLE ROUSERS
DEAR ladies and gentlemen ,
it gives me great pleasure to say that i am pleasantly pleased by the performance of this govt in lite of what was prophesied by the BLP foot soldiers and bean counters , Yes ladies and gentlemen i can assure you that the last years of peace and quiet away from the noise and disgust of the disgruntled was all worth it,
However once again i had to make an appearance to thank those who have stand firm with the policies of the great DLP govt andby all means those who have not lost faith or insight to travel a path (indeed) one which is lonely and treacherous but one which is beginning to shine light at the end of a dark days, an economical path
Yes those dark days are slowly passing by as you all can see by the revived effort and and restored confidence in govt policies by necessary actions taking by govt and wholeheartedly endorsed by the citizens which frees up the govt to make faster and bolder action to implement plans for the country
In saying all of this one can be rest assured that the journey(and as i have said during my life time ) is not for the swift but for the gallant and fearless fighter who is determined to go the long haul until the end
Now in closing i would like to remind you that Barbados is just more than an economy it is also a Society,
OH before i forget,, anything else you would like to know about CLICO YOU can ask OSA,He helped to build the company for fourteen long years, where you would find all the skeletons remains eyeballs guts and all .
God Bless Barbados
God bless All its people,

“…..They should have just shot him. If all officials are corrupt like him our country would be finished!”
The sentiments of a Chinese citizen as he reacted to the news that China’s ex-security chief Zhou Yongkang was given a sentence of life imprisonment for corruption, abuse of power, et al.
I concur whole heartedly with the words from this Chinaman.
There appears to be many nations that are aggressively pursuing corruption within their countries. Yet in Barbados, it is business as usual for our criminal fraternity.
The term “welcome to paradise” takes on a whole new meaning. Zhou Yongkang misfortune was to have been born in China and not Barbados – the safe-haven for the criminally corrupt.

@balance June 12, 2015 at 12:05 PM,
You are correct.
I have a question to ask you. If a party or a leader of a party is voted into power should it not be an essential pre-requisite that the party or the leader of that party be legally obliged to carry out a corruption audit on their predecessors? This would ensure that the political party in office would be fully aware that all cases involving corruption under their watch would be fully investigated.
The reason why Thompson was corrupt was due to the portfolio of the dark arts practised by his predecessor. Both parties are depraved and corrupt to the core. Both parties know where the bodies have been buried. Both parties have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. This is why Barbados is in decline.

“……….I will not advocate violence against anyone”. Your sentiment is shared by the majority of Bajans and this is why Barbados is in a depressed state. You will only ensure that corruption is reduced to near zero by restructuring the laws of the country. I would suggest a sentence of death for our high ranking corrupt politicians and a sentence of life imprisonment for our corrupt wealthy business men/women.
Bajan style procrastination will never fix the structural problems of our island.
