A 2015 FOIA request reveals FBI’s interest in the late PM of T&T Eric Williams

Mr Editor

The following link provides very interesting reading. It probably shows why we don’t want a FOIA : Freedom of Information ACT . For those who think that the activities of agencies such as the CIA overlook the Caribbean, it should be interesting reading. Although many would probably consider it “stale news”, I still think it makes very interesting reading, especially for those of us who maybe considered as having “anti-white” views. I have no doubt that blogs such as BU are closely monitored by both local and international agencies.

A FOIA request to the National Archives from early 2015 has finally yielded the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s file on historian and first prime minister of Trinidad and Tobago, Eric Williams. In addition to the FBI monitoring Williams during his tenure at Howard University, the file contains reports from Naval Intelligence and the Central Intelligence Agency, who closely monitored his shift from academia into politics, including a request by Naval Intelligence that the FBI gather embarrassing personal details from William’s ex-wife in an attempt to hurt his chances during an election – U.S. Naval Intelligence tasked FBI with digging up dirt on Eric Williams to sway Trinidadian elections

    Exactly what are anti-white views, please clarify.

    Cause we want CIA to also understand.


  2. This article is very interesting……..

    It is ironic that, while “investigating” Trinidad & Tobago’s PM, Eric Williams’ activities during the 1940s and 1950s, the US Naval Intelligence in that twin island state reported “they saw as an emerging “anti-white complex” which included both a reluctance to speak with white people in social gatherings, as well as a rejection of U.S. politics and economic interests in the Caribbean.”

    Why should these hypocritical US agencies be concerned about this issue, especially in that era when the “anti-black complex” was an accepted norm in their society?

    During the 1940s & 1950s racial segregation was the law in America. There were separate facilities for white and blacks…….. black people had to enter their place of employment through the back door; they had to sit at the back of the bus; they could not enter several establishments. In other words, it was against the law for black people “to speak with white people in social gatherings.”

    http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/624/mcs/media/images/80545000/jpg/_80545757_getty_sign.jpg

    Eric Williams’ book, “Capitalism & Slavery” was published in 1944. Also in 1944, 15 year old Willie James Howard was murdered for sending a love note to a white girl. On January 2, 1944, the girl’s father dragged Willie from his home at gun point, took him and his father to the Suwannee River where Willie was forced to jump in as his father watched the lynching.

    In 1954, one year before Williams returned to T&T, there was a “landmark ruling” in the Brown v. Board of Education case, when the Supreme Court declared that “separate educational facilities” for black children were “inherently unequal.”

    On August 24, 1955, 14 year old Emmett Till was kidnapped, brutally beaten and shot in the head by two white men, four days after a white woman accused him of whistling at her. The men were tried for murder, but an all-white, male jury acquitted them.

    During an era when 15 year-old and 14 year old boys were brutally murdered for allegedly trying to “fraternize” two white women, the CIA, FBI and Naval Intelligence were concerned about Williams’ apparent RELUCTANCE to socialize with white people.

    For the deeply flawed and pro colònial blighted minds of those who still ĺive in the 1940s – 1990s where white racism and other forms of oppression were consistently used as weapons to control the minds and thoughts of Black Caribbean people and their leaders into acceptance. ……this is the year 2017, a new era.

    With all Skinner’s bravado, pretend scare tactics and old world folly, I thought he would have an answer, he must be aware that the focus of CIA and FBI have changed with the times, they do not have their sights stuck on the Caribbean as they would have in the post colonial days, as those old demons in the Caribbean now stuck in those days still do, in these modern times, their focus is more modern, intelligent and practical and applies to everyone, even if questionable…….and includes self proclaimed whites in the Caribbean, who also represents serious security threats…..through their get rich quick schemes and scams.

    ……besides, they got bigger and even more dangerous fish to fry in other jurisdictions….so anti white voews, whatever that means, are really not in the minds of these agencies in this new era and only still exists in the minds of old blighted pro colonial demons.

    What the CIA and FBI would and should be most interested in is that out of a 7,500 minority “white” population in Barbados, at least 80% of the business people and 1/4 of those same whites, both foreign and local are the new age gunrunners, drug traffickers into Barbados, UK and other jurisdictions, human traffickers, money launderers, stolen cars out of Europe and the biggest thieves anyone can find in such small jurisdictions anywhere, we can even supply names so that both CIA and FBI can follow the money as they are so adept at doing…they are the ones controlling importation and distribution networks and the final destonation dealers on the island.

    FBI and CIA must know this, as am sure Skinner would love to clean up those crimes among his white folks….as that is a significant threat to peace and security and could save countless lives.

    The other minorities on the island, very small in numbers but equally criminal in nature as the whites are the Indians, Syrians, Lebanese etc and are an equally dangerious threat to Barbados, as their criminal network stretches across the Caribbean and into Central America, Middle East and India.

    As am sure both FBI and CIA already know…and even know who all of them are…and know that they are the modern day threats to the Caribbean, not any anti-white views….whatever that is.

    So again I ask….what are these anti-white views in 2017…how are they defined in his mind.

    Skinner may want to frequent facebook and take a good look at how people really feel and what they think in this modern era about white domination in the Caribbean and worldwide….it will be his defining moment and a wake up call.

    Old world colonialists are the problem and help feed the destruction on the island.

    Skinner would love a return to those …keep niggers in their place days……so the majority Black population have to shut up and accept evil and crimes against themselves as their ancestors were forced to do before them, he finds too many of us on BU possess independent thought…and it angers him, he makes it very clear that he takes great offense.

    But in doing so, it only makes me more determined to see the stranglehold the minority whites and others have on the economy in Barbados broken, their criminal networks dismantled, exposed and the idea that they are entitled to steal from the majority population generationally wiped out….permanently. .

    Go tell FBI and CIA that….see if they care, particularly when they are given the names of the white and other minority criminals on the island who are money laundering proceeds from their criminal activities, all over the Caribbean and the world and who believe themselves untouchable to any law enforcement.

    so “anti white views” that…

    It is still the responsibility of Blacks in small Caribbean islands, given that they are the majority population and leaders of their own islands….to remove the established racism still being practiced against them by a small minority of whites and OTHERS, make it a criminal offense ….that is actually enforced….jail those whites and others who continue the practice against blacks, that is what jails are for.

    ….. remove all the residues and vestiges of the racism and other forms of oppression that are still used as a weapons and tools by the same minorities, completely from the islands…and teach current and future generations in the schools, make it part of the school’s curriculum…of the dangers of accepting such behaviors and practices from whites or other people…now or in the future…

    Blacks are responsible for ridding their country of these weapons and tools of destruction practiced against themselves and their future generations. ..no one else. ..ya cant expect the same demons who are practicing it to remove it….you have to resist and destroy it yaselves.

    As we hàve observed for the last 2 decades….no one is stopping black Caribbean people or their leaders in Barbados or other islands from dismantling racism, discrimination and disenfranchisement by them against themselves being practiced by a tiny group of minorities…..

    ….Black people themselves, particularly the Black leaders are the ones stopping the dismantling and destruction of these evil practices…against their own people.

    And it’s certainly not the FBI or CIA stopping it, they got better things to do, like catching white, black and a variety of other criminals with their well organized criminal networks that have grown significantly over the decades throught the Caribbean, Americas and other jurisdictions.

    I thank you for reminding me of the great role comedy plays in relieving stress. Thanks to you any stress I had before reading the above has magically gone away.
    All I did was try to demonstrate what lengths the CIA/FBI would go to destroy any politician in the Caribbean , who they consider to be anti-white. For you or anyone else to deduce that I am pro-colonialists , clearly shows a complete lack of comprehension !
    Quite frankly, I find and do enjoy the ideas and contributions of all BU contributors. I honestly believe that if their identities were known, they would be more appreciated because they are some of the most interesting and constructive ideas to be read anywhere. I have never feared enlightened discourse.
    For your information, I have never refused to attack or criticize whites be they local or foreign. I say exactly what I mean without fear of any group since I Have been actively doing so for close to a half century and if you were to go into the Advocate or Nation , you would find clear evidence of this.
    Once again thanks for the comic relief.

    You are more than welcome. Those of us who ignore history will pay a great price. Black progressive nationalists throughout the Caribbean have always and will always be monitored by the CIA/FBI. That’s what they do. Those among us , who insist that this “new” era has washed everybody in the blood of the lamb are asleep.
    Perhaps it is better to hide behind some mask in one form or other.

    William…that was back then…it was CIA/FBI jobs to maintain the establishment of white and pretence of supremacisy and racism post slavery, post colonially for their own self enrichment and self preservation. …we know what happened…we are still seeing and feeling the effects….J. Edgar Hoover wrote that script.

    But……

    The targets have changed and what is still occurring in the Caribbean re racism, disenfranchisement, oppression….are all self inflicted…no interference by CIA/FBI whatsover, their powers in that regard have been redirected…most if it anyway.

    In the US where FBI presides with the same evil J.Edgar Hoover tactics….there is growing resistance and movements to fight against the oppression and racism of a dying white establishment….that is where you will find the antiwhite views. ..being monitored….consistently.

    What you are projecting does not apply to the Caribbean….the only fight is internal and against white criminality practiced against Black majority populations in Barbados and the Caribbean….which is not much of a fight or most of the white and other racists in Barbados and the Caribbean, who are modern day criminals and terrprists would and should be in prisons where they belong.

    So all that I have stated clearly addresses mpdern day problems as they occur in the Caribbean in 2017 in real time and which both CIA/FBI are aware….they just need the correct information to direct them to the right people.

    We know what happened post slavery, hope you did not leave out the part where the late PM John Compton was imprisoned on a ship off St. Lucia by the brutish british for trying to educate and lead his people….those days are gone…never to return…no matter who longs, lusts for and pine for their return..

    Apparently you lost track of time and events and dont understand the whys of Caribbean monitoring anymore.

    It’s the lazy, useless, greedy, corrupt black leaders, ministers, politicians now staining the reputations of the islands are supposed to do their jobs and lead…no FBI or CIA are stopping them…, from locking up whites and others who commit crimes on the island.

    And knowing how yall operate…while keeping everyone focused and scared re FBI/CIA monitoring….yall get to commit ya crimes against Blacks in peace..

    But here is the catch….this is the age of multitasking.., so many of us can monitor what CIA/FBI are monitoring..they know that…….and still monitor the whites and others who commit crimes under the umbrellas of racism and white superiority…and give their names to CIA/FBI…to investigate and follow up,

    Then there will be no need for you to worry that we dont think they are monitiring the Caribbean…

    What do you think.


  13. @William

    One has to be optimistic that real progress has been made although topical events of recent suggest that bigotry and racism as perpetuated in the activities of these first world agencies is still with us though covert when compared with the 40s, 50s and 60s. The Wikileaks also provided corroborating insight.


  14. @William

    The BU house tends to ignore you and the others silly cry for commenters to reveal themselves. Why would a civil servant,policeman, teacher, minister or other prominent people do so if it betrays their public roles read code of conducts etc?

    No Art…it is addressing the issues that many still hate that the blogs are in existence…that people speak their thoughts freely, within reason….even despite the fact that those who hated the blogs to the point of wanting to see them shut down, trying to shut them down….are now the ones clearly using the same blogs to push their wicked agendas……, so that makes my comment…on point.

    I ususally remember the comments of those who would like to keep free speech out of the reach of the majority population. …even though it’s 2017 and the powers that be in the old colonial countries have given up on fighting down freedom of speech…for years, but not the wannabe colonizers in Bim.

    For Enuff and others in both political parties government and opposition,…,ah glad the blogs are now of such good use to all of you, ah forgot to mention it in the last few days…it has even become useful to Harris who one time boasted of shutting down ND…lol

    Freedom of speech is a monster that cannot be contained, forget the 50s to the 90s and successfully attempts to promote racists views….that went out with brainwash….straight into the dark ages….all the residues have to go.

    CKABUL – Afghanistan’s telecoms regulator wrote to internet service providers this week ordering them to block the messaging services WhatsApp and Telegram but it was not immediately clear whether they had complied.

    Use of social media and mobile instant messaging services has exploded in Afghanistan over recent years. Social media users and civil rights groups reacted with outrage to initial reports of the move and the letter sent by telecoms regulator ATRA was widely shared on social media.
    Some media reports, citing unidentified sources, said the move had been ordered by the National Directorate for Security to thwart the use of the encrypted messaging services by the Taliban and other insurgent groups.

    It was not immediately possible to confirm the reports.

    The acting minister for telecommunications, Shahzad Aryobee, posted a message on Facebook saying that the telecoms regulator had been ordered to put a gradual block on the services to improve their functioning after complaints had been received.

    “The government is committed to freedom of speech and knows that it is a basic civil right for our people,” he wrote.”

    David, Cuba was only one target. In more recent times they have destabilized Jamaica under Manley and The Grenada revolution. Some jokers believe that “the race is o’er and the victory won”. We are far from victory. The CIA/FBI will continue to subvert progressive forces, in the region, whenever they(WE) surface. The geopolitical interest of America will never cease or stop.


  20. Once again David misinterprets the argument about anonymous contributors to BU, whether deliberately or due to a misunderstand. I have said previously that a legitimate whistleblower has a right to anonymity and have that right defended.
    What I am objecting to is those verbal thugs who use anonymity to abuse people, smear those who may have different views, character assassination. There is a huge difference between the two.
    ..


  21. “I have said previously that a legitimate whistleblower has a right to anonymity and have that right defended.”

    Are you suggesting that an individual’s does NOT have the RIGHT to contribute using a pseudonym, similarly to you having the right to contribute using your real name?

    And suggesting that an anonymous contributor’s contribution “would be more appreciated” if that contributor used his/her name, should be dismissed as rubbish.

    Are you aware that “Angela Skeete” is a pseudonym?

    Supposed other contributors decide to do likewise and use “real names.” If “Bush Tea,” for example, decides to contribute using the “name,” “Dr. Martin Lawrence, PhD,” would his contributions suddenly deserve much more merit than when he used “Bush Tea,” and how would you know if “Dr. Martin Lawrence, PhD” is not a pseudonym?”

    You cannot FORCE anyone to use their names and It’s about time you get over this shiite about people contributing to this forum under anonymity……….. and move on.

    but the focus and targets will change with the time and era, things never remain as a constant…even the focus on Cuba has changed to something different….since the players have changed, the intent has changed, even if to something more devious.

    Well said, Artax.!

    Hal needs a constant dose of verbal tough love to help him ‘manage’ his pathological fear of the anonymous bloggers.

    But what is extremely galling about his hypocrisy is that anonymous contributors are ‘standard fare’ in the UK where he prefers to stay and be that safe critic of all things Bajan from a far distance.

    It seems he has little sympathy or even not an iota of empathy for the family of Daphne Caruana Galizia, the Maltese journalist killed for doing exactly what Hal Austin wants the anonymous bloggers to do.

    When every thing is revealed and weighed in the balances of truth and justice Hal Austin would be found wanting; for he is the biggest coward of us all.

    Why doesn’t he return to his homeland and put right what he nauseatingly finds wrong?

    Who or what is he afraid of? The BU anonymous bloggers whom he deems as ‘virtual’ thugs and bullies or the politicians with their real thugs, bullies and gangsters backing them?


  27. I think the MSS is the agency that should be of interest to the Caribbean as opposed to the CIA or FBI.

    The Emergence of China should be noted as we witness the implosion of the USA one of the foremost promoters of the unfounded theory of white supremacy.


  28. The CIA monitoring the Caribbean is much like Hal Austin monitoring people posting shiite.
    The damn pot checking behind kettles for blackness.

    The CIA is probably the biggest, most organised and best funded agent of organised crime that has ever existed on this Earth. For them to be ‘monitoring’ the Caribbean is more than likely a recruiting tool for their own human resource (cess)pool.

    Does ANYONE here think that the CIA/FBI were unaware of Jack Warner’s thievery before their recent convenient ‘bust’ ….which coincided with FIFA awarding the World cup to their favourite enemy Russia …. against their instructions?
    Anyone think that they are ignorant of Stinkliar’s exploits? or of the various bank accounts of many selfish, dishonest local traitors who are current enjoying (and exploiting) the trust of the stupid brass bowl Bajan public?

    The ONLY fear that any Caribbean crook has of the CIA, is the consequences of not towing their line when instructed to do so….and this ‘line’ is often characterised by such actions as signing onto stupid treaties, endorsing albino-centric concepts such as Globalisation, and signing on to bulling as normal behaviour.

  30. Barbados and a host of Caribbean islands mentioned in the just released Paradise Papers.

    Today, ICIJ launches an all new global investigation into the financial secrets of the rich and powerful: The Paradise Papers.

    Together with Süddeutsche Zeitung and 94 media partners, we’ve sifted through more than 13.4 million leaked files that come from the prestigious offshore law firm Appleby; a smaller, family-owned trust company Asiaciti and from company registries of 19 secrecy jurisdictions.

    The year-long investigation exposes offshore interest and activities of more than 120 politicians and world leaders. That includes ties between Russia and U.S President Donald Trump’s billionaire commerce secretary Wilbur Ross. It also highlights the offshore activities of another 12 Trump allies.

    But there is so much more!

    We’ll be releasing stories every day for the next week. So you can expect daily emails! If you don’t want these, make sure you update your preferences in the Update Profile link below.

    We’ll be back tomorrow with stories about the tax maneuvers of multinational companies and how the wealthy use tax havens to avoid tax on jets and yachts.

    Take different routes to work each day, hire a food taster, buy some bullet proof ware and get a remote starter for your car or they can purchase a vehicle like this (see link).

    “The day before the helicopter crash, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the arrest of 11 of his royal cousins, as well as nearly 40 of the country’s most powerful military officers, influential businessmen and government ministers – some of them potential rivals. No connection has been drawn between the events.

    On Saturday, Prince Mohammed, 32, arrested billionaire Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, one of the world’s richest men, with major holdings in Western firms, as well as two of the late King Abdullah’s sons.

    The crown prince said the unprecedented mass roundup is part of a larger crackdown on corruption targeting senior royals and their business associates, who have long been seen as operating above the law.

    “The homeland will not exist unless corruption is uprooted and the corrupt are held accountable,” a royal decree said.

    Alwaleed is accused of embezzlement, hiring bogus staffers and giving contracts to his own companies – including a $10 billion deal for walkie-talkies and bulletproof military gear.

    The arrest of senior princes and 38 others upends a longstanding tradition among the ruling Saud family to keep their disagreements private in an effort to show strength and unity in the face of Saudi Arabia’s many tribes and factions.

    The apprehended men were being held at the Ritz-Carlton in Riyadh, which recently was the site of a major investment conference that the crown prince attended with global business titans.

    A Saudi official said other five-star hotels across the capital were also being used to hold some of those arrested. The men in custody have all been blocked from leaving the country, according to reports.”
