Senator Caswell Franklyn, Cometh the Man, Cometh the Hour

Senator (elect) Crystal Drakes – Economist

The first sitting of the newly assembled Senate this week created significant interest among the pundits. One of its first task was to approve an amendment to the Barbados Constitution: the residency qualification to serve as a Senator. The change was necessary because of the Rawdon Adams and Kay McConney selections- two Barbadians living overseas-ย  who did not meet the minimum 12 months residency requirement.

The blogmaster took a little time out of a busy day to listen to some of the debate. The Senator that stood out was Senator Caswell Franklyn, he signalled that he will not be muzzled by the strangeness of the place, unfamiliarity with procedure and importantly- the overwhelming numbers on the other side. Already Senator Caswell’s bellicose style has ruffled feathers. Yes they were well rehearsed speeches coming from the others but to be expected, they all complied with the party line. The emphatic victory at the polls by the Barbados Labour Party means the opposition voice must be heard.

A favourite quote of the blogmaster is, ‘eternal vigilance is the price of liberty‘.ย  It dawned on the blogmaster after following the first sitting of the Upper Chamber Caswell will have his work cut out to be effective in the role as Opposition Senator. We have to hope the second Opposition Senator named in Crystal Drakes will be as strident to complement Caswell. He will require the support of all civic minded citizens to deliver in the role thus ensuring we keep guard of a fragile democracy.

It goes without saying the BU family will accompany Senator Caswell Franklyn on his historic journey in the Senate. We will offer constructive criticism and support. We want what is best for Barbados. It should not matter the colour of the party stripe one supports. What matters is the blue yellow.

    Marla is recognised as a top economist, who by? As I understand it, she is undertaking post-graduate research; so, even in her assessment of herself, she is in need of further training. So, are her tutors and lecturers all ‘top’ economists?

    Seems to me that Ms Kay McConney is a bit more than an Event Coordinator but a bit less than an ideal pick for a Minister responsible for avant garde new technologies. Perhaps R Adams, if he survives an in-depth look at his credentials and the trajectory of his associates, might be potentially a better fit for the projected KMcC portfolio.

    Anyway congratulations to Caswell for being able to swim against the tide.

    You see this period we dealing with we will need a lot more persons who will do their research and call out shite when they see and smell it.Persons who will be prepared not to come and sing a song while looking for a lil pick.

    I am learning a lot about said rawdon and mcconney and daily I am asking myself -WHAT IS REALLY BEHIND THAT BIG FOOT MOVE?

    @Pieces, I see you have your ‘political’ spin in full flow to wit: “My American friend de Ingrunt Word aka DPD made a statement recently about how our bajan policemens can, with a likkle training, become bittcoin sleuths.” Tut, tut.

    What a canard ๐Ÿคฃ. To mimic the old sitcom star, “did I do that” fah trute!

    To be much more current one can call it the Trumpian twist which avers that it’s never necessary to allow the real and accurate details to get in the way of your selected alternative factoids.

    Carry on smartly, my friend.

    The problem I fear for this new administration is that they will be relying on snake oil salesmen & women who will be producing nuff paper certification who will talk pretty,pretty and say nothing ( like the one lisa cummins) (well at least their leader will be able to relate to that), then a few will come with a foreign accent and claims of loads of experience as economists but with no success to back it up – better yet if the accent is british and sound posh – see Avinash persaud and one marla ducharan ;or they will produce nicely put together resumes – I am looking at you rawdon and mcconney;

    Then this country will reward them with big-up positions with fat salaries and big rides.But sadly we may see ourselves going down with the advice they give – like that decision to default on our loans for the first time in history.

    We are in too dicey a position to make those kind of dangerous moves.

    @the Honourable Blogmaster

    You asked and I quote you question “…Let us be clear, you have defined Adams resume based on the performance of Overstock stock and McConney because she founded the Canadian Bajan Ball?”

    And my response is a categoric NO.

    Let me be pellucid with the process that brought me to this point and then the methodologies I have used.

    As it relates to Rawdon Adams AND BY EXTENSION THE ECONOMIST this is what I am advancing for any reader’s consumption.

    Many came here and sought to gainsay what Hal Austin AFTER FIRST BOPPING AND WEAVING WITH THE CLASSIC MANNERISM OF THE BRITISH DISSEMBLERS OF PROPER SPEECH ultimately advanced the key issue he had with Adams which is “The right of Privilege” that attends bajan oligarchs

    After he finally let go of the niceties and got down to BRASS tacks de ole man apologized for my zealous prosecution of his opinion.

    Then comes another tangent of prosecution which promoted Adams as the incarnation of Manitou and that bajans should be grateful for this Mia sanctioned whizz kid.

    And just like that de anomaly training KICKED in.

    Why all this sudden “pescatorio” obesience to the Ring of The Fisherman who is among three people being promoted as the senators for whom the Barbados Constitution has been changed?

    And with that anomaly came a realization of the need for Due Diligence on Rawdon and Kim elicited by the remarks of the resident BU BLP proselyters

    Because de ole man, rather me grandson, knows what he is looking for, the financial searches that any idiot would do was not hard.

    In fact you would recall that I suggested that Mr Hal Austin not just focus on the unimpressive CV of Rawdon BUT RESEARCH ITS CONTENTS.

    Hal is not a dealer in financial instruments of the type that Rawdon is purported to have mastered.

    Hal neither knows the technology, not the instruments by which the technology is transacted NOR the mechanisms through which it can be compromised

    De grandson does.

    So here is what I would suggest you do to confirm or deny my perspective on Rawdon’s credentials

    Do a series of Boolean searches on “Overstock financials Bloomberg” and the do “BittCoin and Overstock”

    When I say series do about 15 to 20 searches AND READ THEM

    You will see there rested in clear print the incestuous? nested relationships that Bloomberg clearly spells out for anyone to comprehend.

    This is not rocket science and while the layman cannot be expected to comprehend the language THAT MUST ATTEND AN IPO OR AN ICO (Initial Currency Offering) the SEC prescribes that YOU CANNOT MAKE ANY PROMISES ON THE ROI nor make any false statements ergo the future conditional in the various offerings.

    Additionally when I say that I will invest $20 million in a company that DOES NOT MEAN CASH ALL THE TIME.

    IT can sometimes be other contributions in lieu of cash which have been valued generously as $20 million

    I will not waste any tjme on Kay Mcconney ‘s website which Brother Hants supplied nor my event planner interpretation thereof because such truths are self evident given its content, notwithstanding the paint job the BLP damage control team attempted thereafter

    Let me in leaving refering you to Google the outstanding qualifications of Bernie Maddoff who was sentences to 125 years for his dated Ponzi scheme.

    @ the Honourable Blogmaster

    Your post of 10.18 a.m. is disturbing

    This is not a dimple matter of comparing “incompetencies”

    We acknowledge that the Demonic Labour Party was the worst government this country has ever had hands down but what we are discussing here is a horse of a different colour OR IS IT?

    BU assisted most notably by Mr Cammie Holder and others here shut down the falsehood that was Cahill and Downlowe and that crew.

    That matter was based in no small part on the bonafides of the principal parties and that was a national development project.

    Here you are, not least among the Champions of a Better Barbados, seized with a matter that speaks to appointing people of sterling credentials to our Senate seemingly wanting to give this matter of more serious import a pass “cause this lot cannot be less incompetent than the rest”

    That is like me saying to my torturer who is using the rack on my body “I like you more than the last fellow cause in addition to stretching my 4ft 9 inch body he used to push a flaming hot poker in my nether parts…”

    If we are not vigilant with this Honourable Blogmaster me fears this will be your last swan song too

    Again de ole man asks do we wish to bump up the volume?

    Or you are like me, AND the MAJORITY of Bajans loyal neither to the “B’s” nor “D’s”.

    If we Bajans were as loyal as both/all parties like to fool themselves that we are, then governments would never change. But notice something, governments change all the time.

    The truth is most of us love/like neither B’s nor D’s. We hire them to do a job for us and if they don’t do the job we fire them, just as we would fire a gardener or a maid or a hairdresser, or a tyre repair man.

    DID I HEAR CORRECTLY? When Politicians knowingly and aware to be exempted from arrest, does that in anyway curb corruption?”

    Politicians are only exempt from arrest while they are actually literally sitting in the House. If the police need to arrest them, they can do so as soon as the politician steps outside of the Parliament building yard. In other words the police can arrest as necessary any politician by the treasury building, or by Chefette or by the Old City Bar.

    Politicians DO NOT enjoy absolute exemption from arrest.

    I agree David.

    This makes the political class and by extension the rest ‘o we who may have voted for them look foolish. With so many lawyers in the parties and in the House we should not have had to witness the political class running ’bout the place like fowls without heads.

    There is a HUGE difference between elitism by MERIT and elitism by inherited money or status.

    For your homework this weekend compare and contrast these American examples, Barack Obama and Donald Trump.

    PM MAM, my only request is that any restructuring of the debt be done fairly.

    The Government offered and domestic debt holders invested in Government debt on the basis that the Government would collect revenue properly due to Government to service the debt. All efforts should therefore be made to collect outstanding amounts owed to Government before asking the debt holders to accept a reduction in interest and or principal repayments. If ABC Limited for example owes the Government $3 million in value added tax that was collected on behalf of the Government over the last ten years and not paid, your first action should be to auction off the business of ABC Limited to settle the vat outstanding.

    Likewise, for foreign debt holders, the expectation would be for all efforts to be made to collect foreign currency inflows properly due to the Government. If there is any truth to rumours that businesses such as hotels and banks are illegitimately retaining foreign exchange in accounts held outside of Barbados, your first action should be to force the transfer of the foreign exchange to Barbados and penalise the offenders with fines to add to the Government’s revenue.

    Any course of action that excludes actions to collect money or foreign currency properly due to the Government and focuses only on shortchanging investors would be akin to rewarding criminals and punishing law abiding individuals that provided help in the form of financing when it was required.

    All this discussion is proving is that we like the diaspora money and that is it. The elitist argument is a red herring, as well as the attempt to label McConney an event planner and Adams a failure. The joke is that we just had 28 who apparently met the 12-month residency requirement and look where we are now. Someone please rell me why if 12 months is necessary to makeca meaningful contribution, why Hal Austin knows how to fix everything? Continue with the insularity, even against born and bred Bajans who simply happen to live abroad.

    @ Hal Austin rather Mr. Hal Austin

    Your post earlier today was rather titillating to say the least.

    Sometimes when you set your azimuth you can really do some real serious belly searchers

    EVEN that one Mariposa or whatever name she should be called by, made a few valid points about this “evident senatorial enthusiasm” notwithstanding her bias.

    We all want THE BEST for Barbados.

    But ask each of us what that BEST is and for as many gluteus maximii/2 they are, we will have a different opinion (some of which actually duplicate the matter thst exits out of the hole near this part of our bodies)

    What is the best answer none of us knows but it is my hope that we will in time arrive at a point of collective maturity complimented by an economy which permits every bajan a piece of the pie (I starting to use this piece uh phrase too much though so I gone)

    Is it French citizenship or a right to live in France under EU rules as a British citizen. The UK allows dual citizenship as far as I know, so there should have been no need to renounce his Bajan citizenship. Didn’t they swear to the Queen and her heirs anyhow?๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

    Sargeant,

    I am used to the inability of some Bajans, even those who live in Canada, to decipher arguments. I said nothing about the governorship of the Bank of England being reserved for a Brit. If you give it some thought you will see how silly such an argument would be.
    I said that Mark Carney was not the best person available for the job at the time that it should have gone to Lord (Adair) Turner, a man of incredible thinking ability and one of the intellectual giants of his generation. I admire him greatly. Turner’s problem is that he thinks for himself, he cannot be put in anybody’s pocket, far less the chancellor at the time, George Osborne’s.
    Carney got the job on the basis of what he did at the Bank of Canada. My argument was that it was like picking a Championship manager to manage a Premiership team. Canada is not in the top league of nations. and only is in the G7 because it is a white majority nation.
    Where was South Korea at the G7? Time has proved me right. Again, please get the nuances of the argument right..

    I do not know either Rawdon Adams or Kay Mcconney or the third person at all.

    I ent got no skin in the game

    And this is precisely the reason that when the issue of Rawdon came up as previously prosecuted by Hal Austin that I initially felt that he prosecuted the matter too emotively (said by he who loves emotive tangents heheheh)

    Hal is a journalist of several years of experience and he was arguing a point which in its simplest terms spoke to importing the talents of an highly qualified whizz kid and BittCoin specialist

    The point he makes is thst there was nothing spectacular about Rawdon’s credentials

    The more substantive point is the old entrenched? mindset of being seduced by who he mudder is etc and the deification of such people by BAJANS.

    Where he, a seasoned journalist, went wrong was NOT TO SEEK TO EMOTE AN AUDIENCE by a line by line analysis of Rawdon’s credentials

    That seemed petty to me since, in the grand scheme of things, unless readers have HR skills and exposure to examining Cab, the impact of such a comparison is lost.

    So he bumps it up a notch and emphasizes the point that someone is seeking mileage on the Adams name and that such reflects “privilege of Lineage

    And there is where wunna fellows went wrong AND STILL GOING WRONG BECAUSE WUNNA SEEKING TO MEK IT BOUT CV.

    This is not about CV.

    IT IS about a circuitous fabrication of internecine financial relationships that a diligent search by anyone can see.

    Wunna relying on the testament of the fox that is counting the chickens to force the readers to accept Rawdon and Kay

    Looka dis site (which is now a permanent archive of SiteSucker)

    http://kaymcconney.com/

    Juxtapose that against the party’s CV that is provided elsewhere and answer me the following

    1.why is the substantive site that I am posting on myself SO INFANTILE AND DEVOID OF ANY COMPREHENSIVE MATERIAL ABOUT ME WHILE A NEX BODY GOT ME BIG UP?

    You understand how this thing works?

    You understand how self promotion works?

    Unless you are purposely keeping a low profile YOU DOES BIG UP YOUSELF in these things and an assinine excuse bout “you don’t want to run way clients” is bear pup
