markmaloney_markcumminsThe matter of Rock Hard Cement ignoring an enforcement order issued by the Chief Town Planner continues to crowd the news cycle in Barbados. The matter was scheduled to be addressed by the Barbados Court this week, however, to the surprise of everyone, we learned that Mark Maloney, the principal of Rock Hard Cement Ltd was not served (information for another blog).

Here is a copy of a letter sent to Mark Maloney, Chairman of Rock Hard Cement Ltd from Lystra Kodilyne, Attorney-at-law for Barbados Port Inc. The taxpaying public deserves an explanation!

    I have been watching the decent developments in the Mark Maloney story. It appears that Mark Maloney has a total disregard for local officials as he has at least four areas of conflict with those in authority.

    Let us agree that regardless of what we think, the man Mark Maloney is no fool. He would not embark on such courses of action unless he was quite certain that there was strength in his position; that when the showdown came that he would be the one to prevail.

    And yet the events of the past few weeks seem to suggest that his calculations have gone awry. I think he made a fundamental mistake when he not only declared that ‘he was above the law, but the very future of the island was in his hands”. Impetuous man that he is, he did not master the art of making tons of money on the sly and and at the same time keeping his mouth shut and a very low profile. One out of three is not a passing grade.

    He has discovered the usefulness of lackeys; and here too he learnt a next lesson. Lackeys can be over enthusiastic and draw parallels where there are none. In equating Maloney’s hut with the statue of Bussa, this lackey has Maloney making a mockery of the history of Barbados. So far Mark Maloney has displayed contempt for the law, those in authority, and for the history of Barbados.

    But there is a leading actor in this story; one who has remained silent. Mark Maloney would not have exhibited the level of arrogance and blatant disregard for the law, unless he felt they were those who were in a position of authority that would back his play? Who are these power brokers? Who are these faceless and nameless men/women that he felt were in his pocket. Some of his earlier blusterings appeared to be a threat to spill his guts if he did not get his way.

    Now that is the story I am interested in. I am eagerly awaiting his revelations.

    What also gives terrific insight also is how Maloney has reacted to the knocking down of the Preconco House which was located in the middle of the Lear’s Roundabout and where a TCP enforcement order was outstanding. Why not demonstrate some commitment to the area and Barbados by continuing to maintain the roundabout? A retaliatory action by government should be to NOT renew the contract with Adopt-a-Mile.

    ‘we will also be able to confirm that the 10,000 dollars a year for 3 years he publicly offered the police….. is bribe money’

    Is it a donation or a bribe?

    Let us give Mr. Williams the benefit of doubt and assume that he was motivated by the very best of intentions? However, can the RBFP ignore these large donations of Mr. Williams and treat him in an impartial manner? Do these contributions give him extra leverage when matters involves the police?

    In an island, where we have a single police force, it would be best if the Police force itself could not accept donations or that a limit be set on the amount that an individual or corporation can donate to the police during the year; a token amount say $250.00. The police force must be insulated from donations that could influence their actions or appear to do so.

    If businessmen are feeling generous and want to donate more than $250.00, then the QEH, UWI and charities can benefit from this generosity.

    Perhaps, the money is donated to some ‘police charity’; a different kettle of fish.

    Have you ever heard anyone donating anything to the sugar workers when we had a sugar industry,which we a were told made this country, other than the billionaire Mr Money, or to other lowly paid workers, who need the help more than anyone else?
    Giving donations to high profile government service – departments, is a way of buying preferential treatment.

    This Government, especially Minister Lowe, may be stupid, but they are not that foolish. Somebody is making a packet out of this arrangement. Probably more than the pay packet of the Bulldozer.
    Up to now, we the taxpayers are in the dark as to how much it is costing the government to maintain the ABC highway as compared to when NCC was in charge.

    If Stuart is not serious over vote buying which he claimed to have observed during the last general election polling day, do you think that he is going to loose any of his cherished Rip Van Winkle sleep over this?

    Certainly Moloney’s workers and any other contractor’s workers who are still working on the site after a cease and desist order, are in effect aiding and abeting Maloney to break the laws of the land and should be dealt with accordingly.
    But this may not be the case in the Otherbarbados.

    Mark Maloney is NOT he has marketed himself to be. Remember that here is a man who told many people that Mark Maloney was a brand and one of the most recognisable brands in the Caribbean.

    How much money did Barbados Tourism Authority give to Maloney for the Top Gear Festival? Rumours have it that his personal company, who holds the lease for the lands at Bushy Park, was given US$6 MILLION Dollars

    The Gazer…no one donates money to train police recruits…it’s usually donated to a police benevolent society or some such, through fundraising..Bizzy is trying to bribe the police not to touch him, his brother, Maloney and Bjerkham when they commit crimes against the people and country.

    The police should refuse that money…you do not give known crooks the benefit of any doubt…known crooks can be nothing else but crooks…it’s all they know.

    The only people Maloney felt had his back and made him untouchable are the shithead politicians who take his bribe money, that’s the only reason he believes he has this strength and above the law attitude, but Boyce works for Bizzy and by extension Maloney, Fruendel cant say he did not know this before giving Boyce the town planning portfolio. ..but let’s see how that town planning mess will work out…the politicians are weak and corrupt. I will not be surprised if Maloney starts punishibg them…as he should.

    The mistake Maloney made is being arrogant with no patience….if had waited 5 more years to show that he was untouchable, the politicians would have been helpless to topple him from that high horse he built for himself….but he is still weak and fair game, easy to crush at this stage of the game..the only bait he has to use are the workers who need their jobs, but should be smart enough to know they can find other jobs and to get away fromthat massa wannabe….Maloney.

    The owners of the property at Bushy Park need to apply pressure to the government to get their money.

    How did they manage to mess everything up, they are leaders in name only, everything else is a farce. Colonel…Stuart needs a swift kick to the backside, all of this corruption and bribery by Maloney and his ministers happened under Fruendel’s wstch or lack of…it’s a mess.

    “The Code Noir initially took shape in Louis XIV’s edict of 1685. Although subsequent decrees modified a few of the code’s provisions, this first document established the main lines for the policing of slavery right up to 1789.”

    Whites stick together and so do “ecky beckys” but Baloney is not an “ecky Becky” so the Code Noir rule that prescribes the inheritor CANNOT, BY ANY METHODOLOGY OTHER THAN LUCRETIA BORGIA METHODOLOGIES, bring Baloney to that throne, “he shall always be a bridesmaid but never the bride.”

    One can glean from those two “pieces” quoted above that you are a widely read man with whom Franz Fanon would have be most pleased.

    Now how should we classify the bloodline of Maloney using the Sun King’s rating scale of copulation between l’homme blanc and la négresse?

    Is he quadroon or quarteron, octoroon and quintroon? Only his real ‘ecky-becky’ daddy can determine.

    If only we could replicate, in true Star Trek fashion, a Bajan Lucretia Borgia to rustle up a few fine exotic dishes in the August chamber of dishonourable men and women maybe we could get rid of the leeches that are sucking the taxpayers to death.

    Should we summon the ghost of the Mandingo Lucretia Borgia from the Falconhurst plantation to do the job of planting some poison ivy at the Coverley morgue? Maybe she, Lucretia, can bring along Tituba the house slave of Parris the white ancestor of Leroy from Lemon Arbor to bring Greenverbs to a fair witch-hunting trial in the modern Salem of Barbados on Whitepark Road.

    The Gazer @ 10:47 am.

    By far the best post on this topic.

    Mr Maloney, by virtue of his reported reactions to the TCPD enforcement actions so far, has evidenced a small mindedness that indicates he never expected such actions and was/is blue vex about them. They have the potential to significantly affect his bottom line.

    The TCPD, on the other hand, appears to be displaying a single mindedness of purpose, bordering on vindictiveness, that appears to be totally out of character of the normal actions of a Barbados Government department where the Minister bears ultimate responsibility. The Lears roundabout gambit does not now appear to be a shot across the bow but to be part of a concerted strategy.

    This war might therefore be the resultant of an extremely strong force or recent development that threatened this Government and that is considered by one that matters to be only amenable to favourable resolution if the Government takes immediate strong actions that show that, whoever else might have been facilitating Mr. Maloney in his past deeds, it was not the PM.

    There may therefore be a number of Ministers quaking in their boots, as they too might be thrown to the wolves

    The mouthings of one Minister then becomes more understandable and indeed might betoken a significant schism in the Cabinet as its members contemplate the actions of a figurative worm that has turned and calculate their best options for the near future.

    That future should be very interesting!

    From the mutterings I have been hearing now for months, one Peter Harris was getting impatient that he did not have more control over the government and made his move, but that did not quite work out…..being aware of the competition between the slimiest of the business people to control the island and ALL the money, it would be safe to say that because of his impatience and arrogance…Maloney made a bigger move, I can tell ya they are all fed up of the stupid black men calling themselves the ministers and leaders of Barbados and planned to do something about it…but Maloney lost patience..lol

    I cant say the leaders dont deserve it…they refuse to take care of the majority who elect them, so the minorites whom they look out for are planning to take care of them…no good deed goes unpunished.
