    who is holding the CAD$700K in shares? Imagine the value of this shares, if and when, Cahill Energy Barbados is sold to the highest bidder?

    I am curious, just absolutely curious as to who are the beneficiaries of these shares as it starting to look and smell ROTTEN.


  2. When will the members of this government stop embarrassing Barbados. I understand that the Prime Minister has a razor thin majority and that it would be difficult to discipline MPs whose conduct is inappropriate but he must put the reputation of Barbados above all other considerations. The only word that comes to mind when I think of this government is sleaze.

    Freundel should relieve the country of his ministers that appear questionable, find some new candidates and call an election. He might even win as it appears that the motley BLP is not in a position to manage its own affairs far less the affairs of this country.


  3. Post sale the $700k could be worth millions
    But a key question is how much is the company worth right now?? the only assets it has is the government contract
    Right now thats worthless
    Who did the valuation of the company and why 700k in shares ???
    How can this all be so cloak and dagger??
    For a woman who proports to be a sophisticated CEO how can she have gotten into such a mess
    And dragged us into it with her


  4. It does not make since for 700 shares to have value until the TP approval is a done deal. Not sure which financial institution would accept such flimsy security.


  5. @David

    I agree shares are presently WORTHLESS and are likely to remain so. As the saying goes VAPORWARE.


  6. When she talks about fellows being nervous about shares, being ruthless, and wanting it all, who is she pointing her fingers at?


  7. I have heard about con men, but is there such a thing as a con woman?

    >


  8. Wheels within wheels….!


  9. Caswell, with all respect to our mothers and sisters but yours is the best sexist joke since the saga of Adam and Eve: “…is there such a thing as a con woman.”

    Oh lawd….cue laugh track!!!!


  10. Walter…
    “When she talks about fellows being nervous about shares, being ruthless, and wanting it all, who is she pointing her fingers at?”
    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    …whoever she is pointing at should know that their ass is grass…

    That is…
    … if they know the Sampson and Delilah story….
    …or the Adam and Eve…
    …or the story of Jezebel
    …or Potipharโ€™s wife
    LOL
    …or even of AC…
    ha ha ha


  11. A commenter in an earlier comment implicated Bejerkhahm and Tempro in the Cahill deal. Please expand.


  12. The ridgemont guys are actually very astute
    Mortgage of 1.5million paid in full plus intrest and costs and a punt on a potential 15to20% of a sweetheart deal which could yeild 3 to 10 million with zero risk
    Who’s a clever boy then


  13. David

    I don’t know who was behind the lady in the Cahill fiasco but there is one thing for certain, she couldn’t just out of the blue, from outside Barbados, know exactly which fools to approach. It is clear that Claire had a local handler, unless, the idiocy of those she approached is of international renown, which is a possibility.

  14. Ridgemount and the 700,000 share are connected to/acting for who in Barbados? Why would 700,000 shares be given as security especially when its a shell company? The mortgage is a fiction, its only been put in place to justify the payment which will ultimately be paid to Ridgemount in trust for ‘Others’.
    Sophisticated corruption and money laundering?


  15. @ Caswell
    ….and suppose the fools in Barbados approached her?
    Her history seems to fit well into the type of people we like to do business with.

    Did we not just give a lifetime of tax concessions (and plan to hand over Almond ) to a Butcher who recently paid fines for large scale bribery…?


  16. Caswell wrote, ” It is clear that Claire had a local handler”

    Could also be a Canadian Bajan handler. lol


  17. …but Hants, such a “Canadian-Bajan-handler” would have to be a ‘DLP-man’,
    …and would have made it his business to be in court recently…
    …and only Alvin was there….

    oops!!! :!

    lol


  18. Sadily I don’t think this woman has any backers either in Canada or here in Barbados
    Key questions are how did she convince the first and second mortgage holders to loan her the money?? she had to fill in application forms
    Had tax returns proof of income and miriad other proofs in order secure the mortages ????
    We can only assume she lied and forged proof documents to substantiate her income

    Did her trust company Blenheim from Guernsey fraudulently supply her with income statements or did she write these on her own.


  19. @ Bushie,

    Alvin is not the only DLP man in Toronto. There are some who could pass for white.


  20. @Bushie,
    Don’t call me in that. I told you that there was more in the mortar than the pestle. I told you people that when Bajan whites start turning out to anything, in their numbers we have to be careful and watchful. But you prefer to cuss and berate me. There is more to come. Who owns the boat? I know but I WON’T SAY.


  21. @Bushie,
    By the way, didn’t I say that there were forces at work to get B’s Recycling out of the business? Think on these things. Despite what Due Diligence says this is a big black and white issue.


  22. @GlennK September 22, 2015 at 7:46 AM “For a woman who proports to be a sophisticated CEO how can she have gotten into such a mess.”

    Perhaps because she is not a sophisticated CEO?


  23. @ Alvin & Hants
    Most things in Barbados are about ‘black and white’… just that the blacks pretend that they don’t know this.
    Don’t dig nuttin Alvin. No accusations from Bushie…. LOL … just putting two and two together to see what turns up…
    …could be ‘four’
    …could be twenty two
    …shiite man … if Dompey involved it could be a pistol… ๐Ÿ™‚


  24. @Caswell Franklyn September 22, 2015 at 9:27 AM “I donโ€™t know who was behind the lady in the Cahill fiasco.”

    Dear Caswell: The Americans have a saying “follow the money”

    I say “follow the white pokey.”

    You know very well that thee are any number of Bajan men who refer to their black girlfriend or wife as a black woman.

    An to any white woman even one whom they have just met as “a white lady” who of course can do no wrong.

    Pick sense outta dat.


  25. Never Learn when dealing with crooks, liars and scumbags, all want hanging


  26. Ridgemount FS Ltd was incorporated in Ontario on November 25, 2014, (two days before the date of the mortgage). Its registered address is Suite 1602, 200 King Street West, Toronto (which is also the address of Graywood Developments, one of the largest developers/homebuilders in Toronto)

    The sole Director of is Alex Iscoe.

    Alex Iscoe is also Principal at RidgeMount Group Ltd from 2010.

    From May 2005 to January 2008 Iscoe was an Associate – Leveraged Finance at Goldman Sachs in New York and Hong Kong

    From July 2003 to December 2004 he was an Analyst – Leveraged Finance at CIBC World Markets.

    In 2008 the 28-year-old Alex Iscoe quit his job as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs to be one of the 230 people who have climbed the Seven Summits โ€“ the highest mountains in each of the seven continents.

    See http://www.cjnews.com/images/stories/Heebonics/May_07_09.pdf

    and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_76fAbna774

    Alex Iscoe is, apparently, is one of the โ€œruthless fellowsโ€ who โ€œwant it allโ€. I guess an investment banker/mountain climber could be ruthless when he wants his money back.

    Clearly MECC was way in over her head when she borrowed CDN$1,500,000.00 from this fellow and gave him a second mortgage over her residence and 700,000 CDN worth of shares in Cahill Energy Limited (CEL).

    Now that Alex Iscoe owns a piece of CEL, it is possible the he will step in and take it over and do what investment bankers do – find the leveraged finance to fund the deal the Group of Four signed on behalf of the taxpayers – if he can see making money.

    If Iscoe does decide to do something with his shares The Group of Four will have a very different counterparty than they do with the inept MECC.


  27. I posted a link in the Diaspora Corner that some may find interesting.


  28. @David,
    I feel vindicated. I asked the questions. The answers are slowly coming..

    Mr. Cummings

    I had started to think that accusing of being a plant and floater of the DLP might have been too harsh after your response about the caps etc last week.

    You don’t owe man jack any thing re anything about this Cowan matter.

    When you get old like me and you we down got to answer but to one entity.

    Grateful if you would say briefly what happened at the court yesterday?


  30. With all the nonsence going on with this woman we all seem to be forgetting that the contracts for the monster plasma gasification plant are still alive and were obviously used as leverage for this fraudster to get this far
    The PM still needs to void these contracts and go back to the drawing board on a viable waste management solution
    What we don’t want to happen is that the contracts are novated across to a new entity with the plasma technology remaining
    These guys from infrastar want the contracts changed to something other than plasma and if we are not carefully this will slip in under the radar.

  31. pieceuhderockyeahright Avatar

    No one is forgetting anything RastaR.

    Your agenda is noted and is, for the time being, congruent with that of many Bajans and, given the obvious advertising that has been ventilated across cyberspace, to see that “we” have not been forgotten, all one has to do, as with any astute investor from over and away, is to google “Cahill Waste to Energy…” and the third entry in that google speaks to the numerous comments by concerned citizens.

    “You can hide and buy land, but you cant hide and work it” an old Bajan saying which, in your case being that you Renewal Energy and WTE activist extraordinaire should not be asleep at the wheel.

    That is your forte and that of Kammie Holder and the rest of the Bynoe Grouping’s vested interest to protect.

    Whether it is the issue of migrating the technology to another party OR the exhorbitant cost of said technology OR the environmental costs of such technology we hold you and your brethren to the task of keeping wunna ears to the ground and being vigilant.

    How can Plasma slip under the radar with people like you and the Future Centre cabal watching?

    I such happens it is not a reflection on “we” but you!!

    Ridgemount FS
    Financial Services ??? Or Four Seasons
    Ridgemount FS was clearly set up as an SPV specifically for the mortage /share agreement only our sophisticated CEO was either desperate for funding or had to pay off the maturing second mortgage which she didwith $800k leaving 700k to service the first mortgage with home trust …. Living in the Four Seasons has to be running to $40-45k a month ???
    With no visible means of income how could she think this was sustainable.
    Infrastar would have to be crazy to get into bed with this kook


  33. BizzyRastaR
    You playing naรฏve and you know it. Ridgemount FS is a special purpose company set up to eventually hold ownership of this unit with there being an audit trail of the bribe. Who is the beneficial owner of Ridgemount FS? If its politician is he from the Upper or Lower house?
    In the end the artificial debts on the unit will be ‘liquidated/vaporised’ leaving this wonderful Four Seasons apartment in downtown Toronto free, clear and clean for its Bajan owner. I don’t know who did this set up but Dat Boy(DB) is quite smart hear.


  34. RastaR

    MECC says in her email to her new lawyer Tim Gleason (to whom she was referred by another lawyer, James Botnick, that “The entire reason I took the 2nd mortgage was for funds I needed for my company, Cahill Energy,”

    You said “pay off the maturing second mortgage which she didwith $800k leaving 700k to service the first mortgage with home trust โ€ฆ”

    What $800k second mortgage?

    MECC also said “This is a well documented transaction, with my lawyers and my directors being involved in the process.”

    What lawyers and what directors?

    In Canada, UK, Guernsey, Barbados?


  35. @ Caswell Franklyn: I listen to you speak on a number of issues and, i am not sure why a person of your discipline don’t take the initiative to lead a MOVEMENT that looks into the actions of our representatives. I have spent some time abroad, they are ORGANISATIONS, GROUPS ETC, that takes a turn in the @%$#@ of their reps when violate, not only reps, they also expose the FORNICATION & ADULTERY between business entities and our reps.

    This dumb down mentality that our representatives have about the masses must come to and end.

    THERE SHOULD BE NO DECISIONS MADE IN PARLIAMENT ON ANY BILL, BEFORE THE ISSUE IS TAKEN BEFORE THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY.

    The people who we hired to look after the interest of Barbados, MUST answer to the people, you don’t hire someone to work for you and they becomes your BOSS, what folly is that. All matters pertaining to the well being of Barbados MUST be taken before the people (EMPLOYERS) before the STATE EMPLOYEES can act, they don’t have the authority to act in the masses name, without first consulting us.


  36. BU will update additional documents in the next rotation on the matter.


  37. I smell rats


  38. I think Darcy Boyce have the skills to pull off the Cahill scam. Mr Boyce is employed by the political parties because of his ability to hide money offshore.


  39. Hoggie
    True?


  40. Senator the Hon. Darcy W. Boyce
    Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister
    Energy, Immigration, Telecommunications and Invest Barbados

    Could be that FS in Ridgemount FS Ltd represent the initials of the Minister’s boss.


  41. @Shamus,

    You are very naive and ignorant of Civics and the way the system works. We have a constitution, and a system with guidelines on how it functions, should function and how it may be changed.
    Learn how the system operates.


  42. @Alvin

    Have you spoken to a Tim Gleason in Canada about the Cahill project?


  43. We gine get Darcy Boyce don”t worry he is covertly under the radar. He will slip up and will not be saved unless the DPP is still hoping to become a judge. Mia will not lock up Darcy nor the DLP clowns for if he falls 990 of politicians will also take the fall. The FIU have the info on corruption but DPP is also a big Rat only sending herb smokersDodd petty thieves to prison.


  44. To answer the mortgage question, this crazy lady has her first mortgage with HomeTrust for $4,000,000. She had a second mortgage with Cameron Stephens Mortgage company for $800,00 however she thought they were ripping her off in interest, so she borrowed $1,500,000 from Ridgemount to pay off Cameron Stephens, thus making Ridgemount her second mortgage holder. I hope this answers your question.

    De ole man tink dat he gine take a look at the issue and problem of endemic CORRUPTION a la Barbados styling from another view-point so I beg wunna pundits and polemicists of note to forgive me as I make this detour to get to the point.

    Wunna unnerstand whu “horse power” means?

    “Horsepower (hp) is a unit of measurement of power (the rate at which work is done). There are many different standards and types of horsepower. The term was adopted in the late 18th century by Scottish engineer James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with the power of draft horses.”

    https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c5/Horsepower_plain.svg/2000px-Horsepower_plain.svg.png

    Boy wunna cud tell dat de ole man too like me granson fuh learning me how I is to copy and paste url tings dem!!

    But back to CORRUPTION and the Darch Boyce’s and de ministerd daem who looking to mek money from this Cahill (and other as yet disclosed) kickback collaborations called national programming

    So the power and output of a horse (not to be confused with that of a Dompey sorry Donkey sorry them is both the same right??) was the successor to, and replaced in many instances, the power and output of the man at the time of improvement in the agrarian age and, with the coming of the industrial age, so two did the engine replace the horse.

    Now here is the thing though for consideration of de ole man posit.

    THERE WAS A TIME WHEN THE OUTPUT OF THE STEAM ENGINE DID NOT EXCEED THE POWER OF 1 HORSE!!

    So effectively what obtained was that 1 horse = i replacement engine!!

    Does any uh wunn know who de eight president of the United States was? Not even donkey would know that useless jobby information.

    His name was Martin Van Buren and it is purported that, in a letter sent to President Andrew Jackson from New York State when he was governor on January 31, 1829 Van Buren worte “The Almighty certainly never intended that people should travel at such breakneck speed(s) of 15 mph!!.”

    De pint dat de ole man is mekking (speaking of which I jes has had a swig of de ole Alleyne Arfur, technically related to former PM owing Arfur) so wunna gots to forgive de ole man ramblings) is that and a point along the timeline of progress the “technological improvement” is equal to the item being replaced and has not bee “optimized” as yet.

    So too with CORRUPTION which is equal to CORRUPTION these 60 years on in our failing optimization experiment.

    The natives of which Darcy, Fumbles, Stinkliar, Dale Smiley Teets Marshall, Patrick Tood, Ronald We Jonesing are notable names, are still in the enslavement mode of which Sir Hilary spoke so passionately about back in the day, BUT HAS MYSTERIOUSLY ABDICATED now that the lead position at the UWI is so close to the House Nigger’s grasp.

    The “Time Tunnel” of economic stagnancy which our respective islands now experiences from Jamaica to Trinidad and Tobago is none other than that seeming stasis where there is an enforced equality between “what was in times afore” and “the scent of what is to come”

    It is like the scent of the skin of a naked woman that scintillates the senses right before one consumates the act (Hants de ole man ent was to get ban for lascivious content like sankey Price at the nation. By the way whu happen wid dat case?)

    The whiff of promise has intoxicated us as island nations BUT, and here is the difference between 1st world mentalities and our enshrined stasis, whereas they were not content with 2 then 4 then 10 HP engines or “15 mile/hr breakneck speed trains, or bi-planes, we are besieged by small minded men and women, who, like AC and Dompey, are fascinated by the steam coming out of the 1 hp metal engine blowing up their respective bald pooches, and that feeling brings them a euphoria that, until they like the Israelites circling the desert in the Bible for 40 years, die out, all uh we gine suffah yah brass bowl suffah…

    @ the Blogmaster

    Always look and the irregularities and inconsistencies in a document e.g. do lines/tables align, are original signatures, perfectly matched.

    A few Observations per these documents

    1) jpg 3 & 4 seem to be the same
    2) The Preparers of choice are SBA Partners in both? sets of documents
    3) I say both? because the first document Cowan 5 titled “2013 Assessment – 12 May 2014 is “dated” July 3rd 2015.

    But in the second set of documents, when she viewed her return online at 7/3/2015 there is a slight difference in the format of that document and the amount of (global) income which she claims, some 3 or 13 dollars less, a small detail but…

    At the top of the form, there is a change which might be that (a) the forms have changed or (b) one was an online document and the other a document mailed to her

    Question for you or any Canadian Party knowledgeable about these tax forms

    is Clare an American? or Canadian?

    It these are two documents for different years did you see another Control Number like the (A480137TG3200)

    Is Clare filing her takes late ergo the dates that seem out of sync and the format of the forms?

    Do you know anyone in Canada in the same place where she is purported to have filed? Is the format of that number consistent with the Control Number provided?

    Notwithstanding the above questions all of which I plagiarized from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “A Study in Scarlet”, the documents and the two email portend much.

    Their “format” suggests that they were redacted from info that you received in your Sherlock Holmes-like skills to hide the identity of the sender (and the format of their machine, an obvious giveaway to Clare)

    I can now see why you were absent from the Blog yesterday and allowed another to respond to Dompey et al., It was noticeable in his style, and absence of yours, and his inability to repeat your legendary “thing ignorance knows no bounds” ad verbatim

    All told these documents do suggest that Clare has been abandoned by the current administration and that this Cahill WTE project is DEAD.

    She is being left to drown in the quagmire that she has created and her not too kindly pronouncements about the Prime Minister notwithstanding the $$/bribe? of $8 million promised to David Estwick.

    Whuloss dese people doan be frighten tuh put dese tings in writing??

    This is just part of the disdain that she and many other white peeple have for the gorilla looking buffoons that we have as Prime Ministers and ministers of our Banana Republics

    They choose an idiot to do this WTE deal and all of them must be shiting their pants right now mindful of the backlash of the MOU at least Mia and her crew had more sense or did they??

    ALL UH DEM IS CROOKS as Plantation Deeds does say

    Keep the materials coming…wunna dun know dat dem all gine be hiring cuntsultants tuh fortify dem email now??


  48. Hopefully DD can make a check for us and Alvin will explain why his name appear on a document.
