How Dictatorships Commence – a Case Study

A few days ago Grenville Philips, the erstwhile leader of Solutions Barbados posted a link to this Hitlerian Bill at

https://www.barbadosparliament.com/bills/details/284

It is an 83? Page document that de ole man just decided to read cause well I ent got muffin to do…

It is an interesting document and even it its introduction is a Freudian slip I.e. its reference to a “regime”. But as I continued to read as I HOPE WUNNA WILL, I found, there, hidden away from the eyes of the average bajan SHEEPLE, our local equivalent of Hitler’s Enabling Act of 1933!

It took de ole man a like time to find the text of that 1933 Enabling Act in English but here is the short version for those of you “who give a badword”

…The Enabling Act 1933 gave Adolph Hitler plenary powers. It followed on the heels of the Reichstag Fire Decree, which abolished most civil liberties and transferred state powers to the Reich government. The combined effect of the two laws was to transform Hitler’s government into a legal dictatorship.

The formal name of the Enabling Act was Gesetz zur Behebung der Not von Volk und Reich (“Law to Remedy the Distress of People and Reich“)…”

So us bajan sheeple continue merrily along, blindly drinking the coolaid under “Mia Cares” REGIME lulled by our cuhdear statement “Give She 100 days Cause She Only Just Start” 

You dead right “she only jet start”

So de ole man will do the following provide a passage from the pernicious Enabling Act of 1933 which can be seen at http://www.worldfuturefund.org/Reports/Eact/enablingact.html and also mention its counterpart Act, Decree of the Reich President for the Protection of the People and State of 28 to underscore the direction that we are going in IF MIA’s 2018 BILL IS PASSED

“The Reichstag has enacted the following law, which is hereby proclaimed with the assent of the Reichsrat, it having been established that the requirements for a constitutional amendment have been fulfilled:”

Does this easy-peasy “Constitutional Amendment exercise” sounds familiar to wanna sheeple? Bless wanna cool-aid drinking, happy go lucky spirits.

“…Article 4 The Enabling Act 1933

Reich treaties with foreign states that affect matters of Reich legislation shall not require the approval of the bodies concerned with legislation. The Reich Government shall issue the regulations required for the execution of such treaties…”

And then the corresponding Article from Mottley’s Bill of Despot Rights.

“……Article 4.2 of the Despot Rights Bill 2018

“…In the exercise of its functions under this Act, the Commission may not be subject to the direction or control of any person or authority.

As well as “…Article 6.1 of said Despot Rights Bill 2018

“…The Commission may enter into such written agreements,

arrangements or memoranda of understanding with a law enforcement agency, including a foreign law enforcement agency, as the Commission considers necessary or desirable for the discharge or performance of its functions.

Like a Triple Canopy “Law Enforcement Agency” but I digress..

“…Article 1 of the Decree of the Reich President for the Protection of the People and State of 28, 1933 which reads …§ 1

“Articles 114, 115, 117, 118, 123, 124, and 153 of the Constitution of the German Reich are suspended until further notice. Thus, restrictions on personal liberty, on the right of free expression of opinion, including freedom of the press, on the right of assembly and the right of association, and violations of the privacy of postal, telegraphic, and telephonic communications, and warrants for house searches, orders for confiscations as well as restrictions on property are permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed.”

But then let us read “Article 15.1 of the 2018 Chill sorry Bill …An investigative officer has, in carrying out his functions, the powers of a constable to arrest any person whom he reasonably suspects has committed an offence punishable by imprisonment under this Act or under any other

enactment that assigns responsibility for investigations to the Commission. 2018 Bill Part II?

And article 17.1 of said Chill Bill sorry …the judge may issue a warrant authorising an investigative officer to enter and

search the premises for the material and to seize and retain any material, that, in the opinion of the investigative officer, is of the kind described in paragraphs (b) and (c).

SO LEH WE SAY DAT De Honourable Blogmaster got a server, or a laptop, or a smart phone or anything that de investigating office, in his opinion, want to put he hands pun, poor David BU ass is grass CAUSE DE 2018 Integrity in Public Life say so.

So let us move to  “…Article 16.1 of said Despot Rights Bill 2018 OR what is being called the Integrity in Public Life Bill 2018 WHEN READ CAREFULLY SHOWS THAT IT HAS OUSTED THE CONSTITUTION OF BARBADOS

Among many of its clauses which abrogate the rights of Bajan citizens and residents it reads “…An investigative officer may apply to a judge in Chambers for an order, to be called a production order, requiring a specified person to give the officer access to material specified in the application; or produce the material specified in the application for the officer to take away, within 7 days from the date on which the order is made or such other period as the judge determines would be appropriate in the circumstances.

Further affront to the constitution is enshrined in “…The Commission may, if it thinks fit, receive oral or written evidence, but it is not bound by the rules of evidence in the Evidence Act, Cap. 121, and it may take into account opinion evidence and such facts as it considers relevant and

material.

What the France is “opinion evidence”? You mean that if Waveney Bannister feel that in his opinion that Andrew Pilgrim should get lock up, OR PUDRYR, get set up by Senator Williams or he son or any such madness that “opinion evidence” going be the undoing of either party?

But let us read a little further 

”…An investigative officer has the function of carrying out investigations in relation to ANY MATTER, WHETHER OR NOT INVOLVING AN ALLEGED OFFENCE, in respect of which the Commission exercises functions under this Act or ANY OTHER ENACTMENT …”

I don really believe that the Honorable Blogmaster going publish this document but if he does, And does not truncate it cause it exceeds the word limit like George Brathwaite’s articles,  we can expect fellows like Enuff, ONE OF THE MANY EMISSARIES of the saviour and champion of “ye isle of Barbadoes”, will come here to talk bout how dis is a paranoid interpretation of this Travesty

Watch how they continue obfuscating this serious matter with their equivalencies about how the campaign promise of a $500K fine FOR CORRUPTION, get whittle down to a measly $10K 

But remember that “Mia Cares”.

But what is worse is that petty men like Bishop Atherley and other principled fellers like Edmund and Ralph WILL REMAIN QUIET and knock pun de table in the HoA when de bill get laid, much like how, at the signing of The Enabling Act of 1933,  “non-Nazi members, surrounded and threatened by members of SA and Schutzstaffel or the SS…” kept quiet

AND SO, IT BEGINS!!!

    @ Simple Simon

    You are correct in the ultimate scenario.

    All I am suggesting is that

    A.the declarations ARE NOT to be kept in the safeguard of the Commissioner who is chosen by the same people who he is keeping their declarations

    B.Like the Grammy Awards the declarations must be safeguarded by the GG & a reputable Accounting Firm.

    Certainly not Peat Marwick KPMG if Darcy Boyce is working there again.

    In fact I recommend an off island entity for this function.

    What is so hard to understand about the fact that bajans ARE NOT MATURE ENOUGH TO BE TRUSTED WITH OUR INTEGRITY after we have practiced deceit for so long

    Like babes we have to be weaned ok

    I GOING go back to the Bill later or tomorrow…

    Are-we-there-yet

    PUDRYR;’ You stated at 3:08 pm today “Now in the vein of pledging allegiance to my masters, tell the ole man how will you isolate the declarations from tampering?”

    I was out for most of today and couldn’t reply until now.

    I would not be as presumptuous as to suggest that I would be able to design a tamper proof system to ring fence the Declarations but I will tell you how I think that the designers of the draft Act sought to do so.

    First they ensured that the GG was the person responsible for all material aspects of the Act. I don’t think that you think that the GG, with her responsibilities to the Queen, would be party to any tampering that might take place under lesser officials.

    Then they ensured that the PM and the LoO were able to nominate only 1 person each to membership of the six member Commission.

    Then they ensured that reputable, experienced professionals, filled the remaining 4 memberships. A judge in a Superior court; A senior Cleric; A Chartered Accountant; A senior Lawyer; All honourable, upstanding, professionals who would not be expected to do anything that would besmirch their reputations.

    Then they ensured that the GG, in his discretion only, and not after consultation with anyone, appoints the Chairman of the Commission.

    Then to ensure that they did indeed make it quite difficult for the members to collude and contravene any aspect of the Act, they explicity required a duty of SECRECY regarding declarations by not only every member of the Commission but all staff of the Commission as well. See the section below:-

    Duty of secrecy regarding declarations

    (1) Every member of the Commission and every person performing any function in the service or as an employee of the Commission shall treat all records, and information relating to declarations, as secret and confidential and shall not disclose or communicate the text of any record, information or declaration to any unauthorised person or allow any unauthorised person to have access to any records, information or declarations.

    (2) A person who contravenes subsection (1) is guilty of an offence and is liable, on summary conviction, to a fine of $20 000 or to imprisonment for 3 years or to both.

    I would certainly not expect that in the face of requirements and penalties as strict as those indicated above and the shame of a fairly hefty fine (perhaps that fine should go to $75,000) and jail time for the upstanding members of the Commission, that members of the Commission would collude to assist a politician to their own possible detriment. But I would think that the section of the Act that deals with tampering could be strengthened perhaps by developing regulations that might include some of your suggestions at 9:32 pm. eg specifying where the declarations are kept; specifying how they are kept (eg in a safe ), the combination for which is changed periodically; That files must not be removed from the room in which they are kept: that cameras are not allowed into the room where the declaration files are kept; That an accounting firm designs specific safeguard conditions for maintenance of the files; The swearing of secrecy re. the declarations , etc. by all Commissioners and Staff. That the first Commissioners should have some experience of working with similar Commisions outside Barbados,. etc., etc.

    Something along the above lines might assist in allaying some of your fears about the high probability of leakage from and tampering with the declarations. However, I really do not share your fears in this regard as I would expect that a GG would do all in his power to ensure that these declarations were kept safe. Failure in this regard would reflect significantly on him/her, especially if he took the recommendation of a politico and elevated that recommendation to chairmanship of the Commission, which seems to be the subliminal feature of your concern.

    I think that you are right that Corruption is rife in today’s Barbados but I think that it is unlikely that 3 or more corrupt Commissioners could find their way onto a Commission such as this one. But you and SS might be right.

    You are talking about people, am sure commission members will likely be 50 years and older, who are well known to have practiced a pattern of deceit against their own people for 52 years in the name of being loyal to party and fellow politicians and lawyers who are known for corruption..while simultaneously being loyal to a crown..a people who have:

    ALL been maliciously dishonest and deceitful to their own people for 52 years;

    Who kept the true contents of the Constitution hidden from their people for 52 years;

    Who kept the true relationship between the island and UK hidden from their own people for 52 years;

    Who kept the true roles and responsibilities of successive GGs hidden from their own people for 52 years;

    I would not trust not one of those negros.

    Then there is the over 40 years of well known corruption practiced by the 2 tag team governments and the same potential commission members would have, if not colluded with, certainly enabled and accepted such destructive corrupt practices, with their silence….all in the name of being political party supporters and yardfowls…while being simultaneously loyal to a crown.

    Being loyal to the population who paid/pay their salaries was never a deciding factor to any of them, it has never been addressed, so I doubt it has suddenly become part of the equation in the last month., it cannot happen overnight.

    I would not trust not one of those negros with their decades of practice of protection of corruption. .

    @ Are We There Yet

    Yes the 4th of July has its regalia in some climes of our world

    So that you get a clear appreciation of Integrity and corruption in Barbados let me provide you with some statistics.

    For such statistics I would first ask you to look at the UN Office on Drug C on data.unodc.org and review Barbados’ stats on drug seizures and individual reports as per that site.

    Check the years from 2011 to 2016.

    Is Barbados listed? Now de ole man going let Google be your friend with that one so that you read both the aggregate data AND THE individual report to see how the data is reported foe other countries against reports for Barbados.

    Now before you go any further given where you live, have you been reading any reports on drug related killings in Barbados?

    Does Barbados have any drug lords?

    Have any ever been caught and/or incarcerated in the last 20 years?

    Don’t let me made it too hard for you. What about 10 years?

    So leh de ole man continue.

    You hear bout de employee rights tribunal? Dat did had commissioners too. Whu happen deah ? Whu after all Are We There Yet they had the dame lofty ambitions and qualifications as your own aforestated Commission of Integrity.

    You read the Act and have missed the fact that the GG is NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DECLARATIONS of the public servants

    This is the third AND FINAL TIME that I will be saying this

    She THE GG only keeps the declarations of the Commission!

    Are you reading the same document that we are reading?

    Let de ole man disavow you of the so called integrity of these former justices whom you believe to be en masse.

    I would detail the operations of the Office of the Ombudsman where one such retired Justice exists but then again i better not.

    Do not get me wrong.

    THERE are good justices and good policemen and lawyers but as you would have seen with David Come Sing a Song, as soon as his cousin get elected president sorry Prime Minister he done broadcast to the GoB the circumstances under which he will withdraw his lawsuit for the people of Barbados

    And den tek de job as de President’s sorry, The Prime Minister’s personal advisor to CARICOM

    You also missed my point regarding the process of incorporating a reputable third party into the declarations process didnt you?

    The duplication of a declaration document in Detail (for readers who need the Bill read 4 times)

    As of May 24th 2018 FOR GHOSE OF US WHO HAVE NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION the BLP won 30 seats.

    Or not one RH seat was won by the DLP.

    What this meant is that there was AND IS no leader of the opposition and any ensuing choice by Prime Minister and LoO IS THE SAME BECAUSE IT IS COMING FROM MIA MOTTLEY!

    ARE YOU CLEARER ON THAT?

    So the Commissioner and their staff will probably be lackeys of the Party in Power because it makes sense that A GOVERNMENT THAT HAS CAMPAIGNED ON A $500K Fine now vacillating on the amount to be levied WILL NOT APPOINT AN ENTITY that will employ the Haman Gallows Option!

    Are we still on the dame page?

    What de ole man is suggesting further is that, IN THE CASE WHERE WE JUST HAD PAUPERS FROM THE DLP now millionaires, it would behooves any system to employ

    1.a mechanism that duplicated the declarations of ALL the parties AT GET GO AND

    2.PLACED A COPY OF SAID DECLARATIONS OUTSIDE OF THE REACH OF THE PARTIES AND

    3.AS part of the intake process verify that the so called declarations ARE TRUE

    Simply put when my black ass falsifies my assets for a bank loan, the bank conducts an independent review of those lies.

    And if my simple chvunt understands the objectives of this Integrity Bill, dem wants to know that they have a record of some validity DO THEY NOT?

    You do not need to answer the question that I asked you and 2 others earlier about 3 times.

    I repeated it 3 times and would expect ghat the independent Senator Caswell and his colleague Senator Dr. Crystal? will speak to the said act when more intelligent people who are hired for these things open their mouths

    It becomes disturbingmy obvious to me ghat many here have yet to read Animal Farm or having read it have list sight of how the mere removal of a bed sheet means that we have met the provisio that “no animal shall sleep in a bed”

    Lord save us…!

    “Simply put when my black ass falsifies my assets for a bank loan, the bank conducts an independent review of those lies.”

    Especially when ya got there and put 5 or 6 million dollars in your mother’s bank account without her knowledge and she croaks…and ya siblings sued you for their share of your pauper mother’s 5 or 6 million dollar estate….and the new government now wants to renege on the 500,000 dollar fine for corruption while in public office. …and no seek to enact only a 5 year statute of limitations which would automatically exclude such a clear case of an unexplained 5 or 6 million dollar gift.

    …and NOW seek to enact only a 5 year statute of limitations which would automatically exclude such a clear case of an unexplained 5 or 6 million dollar gift…as a matter of fact, it will also exclude the clico scammers and many other criminals and corrupt ex ministers, current ministers and their co-conspirators, etc….depending on when this bill is actually legislated AND ENFORCED…..unless there is another more retroactive, more rolled back in years statute of limitations attached. .

    PUDRYR an WW&Consequences, et al.

    You are probably right, but If you are, there is no hope that Barbados will ever get out of the chasm that we are now in. We would have practically no one in the public service that has a sense of honour, decency and doing the right thing.

    There would be no hope for a better future.

    It would be truly a “dog eat dog” and “devil take the hindmost” society in a “dog eat dog” and “devil take the hindmost” world.

    You are probably right but I hope there are still a few souls out there that will metaphorically continue to tilt at windmills and delay the coming apocalypse for a little while longer as surely your analyses above point uneeringly to the end of this system.

    Uh gone!

    The real beauty in all of that, the lawyers and leaders destroyed and ended the system themselves, including the court system, it took them 52 years.

    Let’s hope they got some level of intelligence to build a new system that benefits the people who pay their salaries….since they were unable to keep a system handed down to them functioning and devoid of corrupt practices, so there is no way they can rebuild what they destroyed and did not create in the first place.

    Karma is working overtime.

    @ Hal Austin

    Hal. A top of the morning to ye in Bonnie Englant

    THERE is no appointment whether domestic or foreign at the levels of which you speak that shall be effected in Barbados WITHOUT THE SANCTION OF Prime Minister Mottley as well it should not.

    Now a few may think of this as cronyism but pause a while to examine the rationale

    She only has six months to turn things around.

    Six months!

    Now if that were cat or dog years that would be 2 1/2 years but in terms of sovereign creditors the country only has 6 months.

    Here is what is going to happen though.

    All of the inept staffing at these overseas missions are going to be recalled and replaced.

    More consulting-like appointments are going to occur to augment the Great Leap Forward.

    And while you do have show pigs like Noel Being appointed remember that Noel did increase the number of cruise liners to Barbados in his day.

    Liz Thompson is a moufer and can’t contribute diddly squat but her appointment is purely a reward for her efforts during the elections

    It is the peripheral staffing that is critical in this advancement

    My message to Madamoiselle Prime Minister Mottley is that “there is no need to implement any draconian measures or loopholes”

    Keep those tricks and the tricksters who are drafting this legislation out of the mix.

    It is evident to those of us who are watching ghat you are trying hard to do the Right thing but your basic instincts are being fed by lesser men and women.

    You cannot run every ministry BUT YOU SEE DESE RULES AND COMMISSIONS?

    They are going to be the very tools you going need when Sandra and Lynette revert to dem ole tricks.

    And you dun know dem too Mia

    You dun know how dem does do de kickback scams dem with dem peeples AND LEST YOU LOSS YOU SEAT IN 5 YEARS OVER SHYTE DAT DALE OF KERRIE OR PAIN DO, at the very least put in such rules that are crafted to make everybody fear.

    EVERYBODY!

    It is not my intent to run no one from this topic.

    On the contrary what I hope will happen is that the few of us who are convicted to DO THE RIGHT THING speak out and support the Caswell s of this island

    If Mottley is wrong or Fumbles is wrong or Dale or Chris is wrong, we have to be able to tell them that they are wrong and give them the evidence to substantiate our claims.

    What do you fear now in your Golden Years?

    What can any one of them do to you AWTY?

    While it is a utopian desire we the few of us that remain, MUST SHOUT OUT AT TIMES OR as the Honourable Blogmaster has said “oppose for the sake of opposing”

    Now mind You, here he is for 11 years, opposing the Advocate, the Nation News and Barbados Today but would caution some of us heheheheh not to do anything like that when we are commenting on the honeymoon bride in her 100 days

    Speaking of the “honeymooning bride” she eat recently at the 39th meeting of the dying CARICOM when she said

    “…Our political leadership must facilitate and shepherd, not control and stifle,” she told the gathering.

    “What is most needed, I am convinced, is to give our people the scope to express their natural inclination to getting things to a conclusion in ways that are productive and beneficial to the region as a whole. Our people should not have to jump through hoops to make this happen.”

    She pointed to the lack of movement on regional travel whether it was in the form of a ferry or the problems with LIAT and Caribbean Airlines…”

    Ammmmm this cross border narrative with ferries and Jean Holder’s LIAT (he still going be their Chairman under the BLP?) Is another topic that going generate some interesting “statistics”

    One wonders where the information sharing is going to come from?

    Or is it precisely for this reason that the Dillard David Come Sing A Song has been coopted BECAUSE IT WAS THE SAME COUSIN AND IGNORAMUS who challenged the GoB specifically as related to the FINGERPRINTING and registration of travellers leaving and entering the CARICOM member state of Barbados?

    Is wunna readers starting to understand why David Commissiong is now the advisor to the Prime Minister Mottley on CARICOM matters?

    He is now a dog that is effectively muzzled and cannot bark at Hyatt or FINGERPRINTING or anything that is contrary to the wishes of The Dog Whisperer

    PUDRYR

    Let me now answer your piece of JUly 5th at 5:32 am, point by point. This will have to be broken up into a number of posts as I will be out for much of the day.

    re. your paragraphs 1 to 9 related to my lack of knowledge about drug lords etc. I think those points are really of no consequence in this matter of the efficacy of a Commission in public life.

    Paragraph 10, however, is relevant, even if the comparison you have drawn bears absolutely no direct relationship to the Commission under discussion. You said “You hear bout de employee rights tribunal? Dat did had commissioners too. Whu happen deah ? Whu after all Are We There Yet they had the dame lofty ambitions and qualifications as your own aforestated Commission of Integrity.”

    The comparison you make to the Employee rights Tribunal is perverse if not laughable. I only need to point you to the fact that the Tribunal and all its members are appointed by the relevant MINISTER, not the GG, and not even the PM. The Minister chose a chairman who was reputed to be a good friend of the PM and the GG was not involved in any aspect of the formation or working of the Tribunal. This is a far cry from the Commission for integrity in Public life.

    You also said “You read the Act and have missed the fact that the GG is NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DECLARATIONS of the public servants”

    I don’t think I ever claimed that the GG is responsible for the declarations … The senior Public servant who makes his declarations must be the one responsible for what is in his declaration. The Commission is responsible for the safe keeping and truth telling of the Declarations. The GG is responsible for the setting up of the total system through his/her Commission.

    You also said “She THE GG only keeps the declarations of the Commission! Are you reading the same document that we are reading?.”

    The GG doesn’t keep the Declarations of the Commission. The Commission does. There is a difference! I am reading the same document, thought it appears sometimes it is through a glass darkly.

    You also said “Let de ole man disavow you of the so called integrity of these former justices whom you believe to be en masse. I would detail the operations of the Office of the Ombudsman where one such retired Justice exists but then again i better not.”

    You are on firmer ground with this comparison as the Ombudsman Act says “3. (1) Subject to subsection (2), the Ombudsman shall be appointed by the Governor-General, by instrument under the Public Seal, on the recommendation of the Prime Minister after
    consultation with the Leader of the Opposition. (2) The Governor-General shall before appointing a person to be the Ombudsman, submit the proposed appointment to each House of Parliament for approval. “
    But note that the PM recommends the Ombudsman after consultation with the LoO and that the Ombudsman is not a direct creature of the PM.

    You also said “Do not get me wrong. THERE are good justices and good policemen and lawyers but as you would have seen with David Come Sing a Song, as soon as his cousin get elected president, sorry, Prime Minister he done broadcast to the GoB the circumstances under which he will withdraw his lawsuit for the people of Barbados. And den tek de job as de President’s, sorry, The Prime Minister’s personal advisor to CARICOM”

    I have not seen enough information to agree with you re. your characteriztion of the person you apparently alluded to above.

    You also said “You also missed my point regarding the process of incorporating a reputable third party into the declarations process didnt you? The duplication of a declaration document in Detail (for readers who need the Bill read 4 times) As of May 24th 2018 FOR THOSE OF US WHO HAVE NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION the BLP won 30 seats. Or not one RH seat was won by the DLP.
    What this meant is that there was AND IS no leader of the opposition and any ensuing choice by Prime Minister and LoO IS THE SAME BECAUSE IT IS COMING FROM MIA MOTTLEY! ARE YOU CLEARER ON THAT?”

    Yes, I did and do miss the point. I have however got the point of your and others’ perception that we are now, if not de jure but actually de facto, in a one party state situation. I do not agree as I think the Honourable Leader of the Opposition has acquitted himself well in his position so far, given the circumstances. I think it is possible that the LoO can disagree with the PM if he considers that she has mashed the crease in some way. Looking forward to see if there are any additional pointers to such in the future.

    Will have to return to this response later.


  20. @WWC 5:11 a.m
    You did something I attempted to do in a jocular manner.
    I was saying that if we chose 30 Barbadians we would have at least one Michael Carrington, but you presented 52 years of history. You pointed out that the pool where the commissioners will be drawn from is polluted and the possible commissioners have been adding to the pollution for over 52 years.

    PUDRYR @5:32
    continues to point out that the pool cleaning equipment is not working properly and the pool cleaning agents are too diluted. ,


  21. Theo…in other words, it is the same cesspool, same nepotism, some blood relations both literal and figurative ….same pollution breathed in and out by all of them for 52 years, same coordinated dysfunction, same miseducation, same lack of proactiveness, creativity or imagination…same stagnating mentalities intent on keeping their own people in limbo..

    PUDRYR; Your 9:19 am post appeared while I was out so I couldn’t respond to it at the same time or before I posted my 10:48 am one.

    Anyhow, when I said “Uh gone” in an earlier post I did not mean that I have given up the fight re. the Bill for Integrity in Public life.

    I still here! …..and I still think that it should be one of the most consequential bills of the last several years in Barbados and that somehow we should let it be known that such a bill is hugely important and that we are quibbling about certain aspects of it to make it the best it can be….. not to have it buried.

    It makes no sense to inadvertently cause it to have the same fate as the DLP one and languish for years in never-never land. Only the very corrupt politicians and public servants will win if that happens. I would hope that most if not all of our suggestions would be taken into account by the drafters and that this would lead to a drastic reduction in the level of corruption in the Public Service. That, as I read it, is what both of us are trying to do, each from the standpoint of different experiences, worldviews and backgrounds. Such a bill needs to be passed asap.

    I forgot to mention above that I would not be surprised if there are several members of the political class and senior public servants who are doing their very best to have this bill jettisoned asap. They should not be given any comfort in that objective. Silence by those who have the training to provide support for the Bill as well as critiques of it, as it now stands, might well be an indicator of where they might stand in the overall scheme of things.


  24. Theo,
    The one appointment that the prime minister should make is re-installing her uncle Elombe at the NCF. Such an appointment would be on merit as he is by far our outstanding cultural theorist and historian. He has got a wealth of ideas of benefit to the nation.


  25. If Mia had appointed Elombe as recommended by Hal,the very same Hal would be the first out of the blocks shouting and screaming blue murdah bout famlee ties and favouritism and all the other judgements a la Comissjong.

    @ Are We There Yet

    My first point, though convoluted, sought to cause you to see what has been the track record of all these justices and persons of character as it related to Drug INTERDICTIONS OVER TWENTY YEARS!

    I sought by oblique reference to no less an institution as the UNODC to show you that, EVEN IN THE FACE OF A DRUG RELATED MURDER EVERY WEEK IN BARBADOS we do not have ANY DATA RELATED TO SUBSTANTIVE DRUG ARRESTS OVER 20YEARS!!!

    My mind works that way namely if you say to me that there are men of Integrity in these systems of justice then SHOW ME THERE WORKS.

    And as the evidence I asked you to review substantiated THERE ARE NO WORKS!!

    I then tried to use the situation of the appointment of the most recent commissioners to underscore the fact that the history of the Commissioner gene pool is not the most spartan

    Again I was not speaking as to its purview but as to the fact that the outcome of the matters under its purview WERE CONTAMINATED notwithstanding the fact that it met all the parameters that you have been so fluently quoting!

    I think that you are very much aware of the fact that I am hinting of the Brotherhood and the Band of Brothers and that, irrespective of whether it is appointed by Sam Poochy or his brother, we have a situation which is tainted.

    What I was teasing to get to is how, in the face of what Theophilus Gazerts was clearly able to understand, how can we the citizens of Barbados, add our thoughts to this mashed up system, and effect REAL CHANGE?

    WE RECOGNISE THAT NEPOTISM AND INCOMPETENCE BESIEGES OUR SYSTEM but what can we the SHEEPLE insist on that will protect the other sheeple WHO DON’T GIVE ONE BADWORD ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON.

    Are We There Yet, I knowvi had promised not to say this again but I must because I realise that if a man as sharp as you are not seeing it then de ole man dun know that THE SHEEPLE IS LOST.

    THERE is a specific duty as to who is responsible for safeguarding the DECLARATIONS

    Let me repeat this again.

    The ONLY party who is currently delegated WIGH safeguarding the DECLARATIONS of ALL PUBLIC SERVSNTS IS THE COMMISSION.

    Mindful of all my innuendos about the characters of these personages for whom I seek to impute chicanery EVEN BEFORE THEIR APPOINTMENT, I am suggesting that they are not allowed to be the sole guardians of these documents.

    And even if we are stupid enough to have them keep these declaration then make sure that a duplicate set resides with a third party OUTSIDE OF THEIR REACH.

    My reason being that the system as currently constituted is nepostic and CANNOT POLICE ITSELF.

    I hope that I am much clearer with this submission

    My digs at our justice system and the fact that even in the face of drug related murders and UNODC reports are self evident.

    Our criminal system has been bought out and only de poor black man does get lock up for marijuana spliffs

    The pool is nasty and the pool cleaning equipment is malfunctioning and the pool cleaners are not coming to work BUT ARE GETTIN PAID and you and I the Bajan SHEEPLE BATHING IN DE POOL WATER and drinking the scum covered water in like coolaid


  27. Gabriel,

    I do not believe in nepotism, nor do I believe relatives should be penalised because of blood ties. Elombe is the best living cultural historian we have. I have been saying this for years in this blog. It would have been unusual for me to say that Stuart should have found room for him, but his niece should not. That is called a principle – something very unBarbadian..

    I for one support An Integrity in Public Life Act JUST NOT THIS ONE.

    It is too paltry an act. With no accountability applicable to a people CONTAMINATED by teifing

    It obviously is a copy of someone else’s act that was dumbed down, rather, An Act that a Dummy – Dale copied down AND GOT WRONG

    I been suggesting that if dem wants to copy an act go to Jamaica or Australia or someplace where dem got people with a modicum of common sense.

    During you lifetime have you ever had to rely on legal counsel to represent you in a court?

    And, during such representation while your legal counsel has shared their strategy with You, has it ever been thst they did such with counsel for the party you are litigating against?

    Now de ole man would ask you to consider that subtlety in light of David Come Sing A Song’s statements in his June 24th article her on BU about olive branch…

    He said and I quote “…If the new BLP Government wishes to see the back of this Court Case that they have inherited from the previous DLP administration, they would have to do the following things:- …”

    No I do encourage you to do the following and search the BU archives and confirm if de ole man is a liar

    Then I want you to tell me why this champion of the bajan rights who is now the advisor to the president rather the Prime Minister would have given the new BLP government such an easy out were it not for the fact that he is a sell out?

    I GOING see if de grandson can do a Stoopid Cartoon about how de champion has received his 30 pieces of silver and not Hyatt Hotel is a go

    @ the Honourable Blogmaster your assistance please with two items thank you. One is for AWTY and spoke to his counter points to my earlier points and the latter item was about David Come Sing A Song


  32. If the report that Mr Commissiong is now the ambassador to Caricom is true it will be one of the biggest about turns by anyone pretending to have ethical standards in Barbadian public life.
    Nothing can excuse this about-turn; not the idiotic idea that by getting his feet under the table he can influence policy; nor the equally simplistic notion that the BLP has moved towards accepting some of his ideas in principle; nor the nonsense that he can now work for greater Caribbean unity from the heart of power.
    In reality, it is opportunism, an obvious lack of principles and reveals a man, to all extents, without the slightest sense of what it means to be no longer trusted by ordinary working people. He is traitor to the working class.
    Does this now mean that Hyatt has been resolved? Does it go on ice? Or has Mr Commissiong been paid off with a high-profile job? But some people may be surprised by this, not me. When Diaz-Canel became President of Cuba, bringing the Castro era to a close, one of the first things he did was to recruit black people (those of African descent) to high office; these were people marginalised by the Castros since 1959. When I raised this point, Mr Commissiong shamelessly replied on BU that Cuba was gradually changing.
    It was the most deceptive and amoral excuse for Cuban racism I had heard in my adult life. He has done the same thing about Venezuela, the South American country with the highest number of African people (the Guyanas aside).
    In fact, on BU, I suggested this view was Leninist, putting the party before the people; but I was wrong. Mr Commissiong has shown, by accepting two appointments from this government, within the space of a few weeks, that he in clearly in it for himself.
    We can now conclude from all this that his angry, vengeful criticisms of Stuart were simply class-ridden snobbery, almost contempt for someone who was in his year at law school that he felt he was socially, intellectually and morally superior to.
    Mr Commissiong is now irrelevant to Barbadian public life.


  33. I fell for Comissiong and his bag of tricks.

    It is now clear that though many of his actions benefited us, the motivations were more political than what many considered.

    Indeed as one looks at many of the comments on BU, it is also obvious that some who ‘are considered as non-partisan’ are in one of the camps.


  34. Hal Commisiong was as clear as the driven snow in his so called fights for the “rights”of barbadians all his legal ramblings with govt had all the tell tale signs of vindictiveness.
    I was never impressed with his fight against the Hyatt project
    Reason being that the Hyatt corporation is a international brand that has a stellar profile and a clear record which shows its pristine concern and involvement in environmental issues around the world
    So far from it and would be flooish for the Hyatt to take all the positive gains that has built the Hyatt brand into a respectable entity and throw it all away on the sands of a tiny island called Barbados
    As i have said all along Commisiong is a wolf in sheeps clothing beholding to self and only to those he serves and from my vantage point his service was not for the people living on the denigrated corridors of bay street
    Too late now for these people to be help the govt that would have helped them is no more
    In the meanwhile Commissiong belly would be filled as he received his supper well placed before him fir his good efforts by the present govt while the people and business living on the bay street corridor struggle to make ends meet


  35. Maduro and Commissiong shares the same image one can also say they share twin like mentalities
    In this way..in Venezuela the people are suffering and Maduro holds on to power
    In Barbados the people of baystreet are suffering and Commissiong fought for power
    The irony of it all is that they both won

    I had reason to observe Comissiong in a setting with 2 Cuban ambassadors….the aura was not good. ..and I am very sensitive about those things, he is very useful to any Caricom development, as long as he does not have the power to introduce the very racist to African descendants…South American/Latino influence into the lives very Caribbean islands and its people, , particularly Barbados…those latino countries do not treat their African populations well period and Comissiong knows this , I only wish he would stop ignoring that reality.

  40. This last election was an eye opener .in fact one can bodly state that the mechanism used were blatantly flawless
    Those mechanism were as follows maniupulation!deceit and the powerful but well oiled political dynamic to massage and convince the brighest as well as the weakest mind
    Here are the hints
    The blp had tried their darn best to apply a fire of political deep thought steeped in negative messages to cause chaos and riots in the street which did not work beginning with the early stages of marches
    Next step the constant ringing if the bell if Doom and Gloom a political strategy to upsurge again to cause chaos .which did not work
    However it did unravel a little nerving of the people having an intent to that of physchological warfare usually called a planting of thenseeds which would slowly uproot or untie people connections to govt policies
    A mastergame plan which gave sufficient room forCommisiong to active his legal appartus to connect himself to the people and disconnect what the people wanted from govt policies
    While all this political gamemanship is taking place the masses are falling asleep
    Last but not least we have a union who is demanding a 23% wage hike which does not make sense in an economic enviroment that shows govt is in debt
    Now as the picture unfolds anyone with an iotta sense can see what has occured
    The unions fell in line like good ole sheep for the propaganda settles for a measly 5%.
    The political will of the people asked for less pain
    The govt of the day has settled in and goverance is one of unilateral decision
    And Commisiong reigns supreme


  41. Plus there was no Cambridge Analytica to help yall tief the election like in 2013, ya were on your own twisting in the wind and not knowing what to do..

    There is much more to come with this submission

    First and foremost will be the way that a Bill/Act of this import and impact has been introduced.

    Had Mia really “cared” about the SHEEPLE this would have been among the first of the Covenant Breaker’s Town Hall meetings with the various stakeholders

    The common folk, the unions, the NGOs and others with whom a caring government would have deemed it important to consult.

    This Act and the Freedom of Information act are the two most important planks for a caring government to consult.

    Not to ram it down people’s throats.

    Former Pakistani PM Nawaz Sharif sentenced to 10 years in prison over corruption linked to purchase of London flats

    Guilty verdict in absentia against the 68-year-old ends career of one country’s most high-profile politicians

    Saad Sayeed
    51 minutes ago

    Nawaz Sharif, a former Pakistani prime minister, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison in a corruption case linked to the purchase of luxury London flats.

    The decision by a Pakistani anti-corruption court is a major blow to his party ahead of a general election in July.

    The guilty verdict in absentia against the 68-year-old threatens to end the career of one Pakistan’s most high-profile politicians over the last four decades, a political survivor who served as prime minister on three occasions.

    His daughter, Maryam, widely seen as his chosen political heir, was sentenced to seven years in prison. Maryam’s husband Muhammad Safdar Awan was sentenced to one year in prison, prosecution lawyer Sardar Muzaffar Abbasi said.

    Both Sharif and his daughter were in London on Friday with Sharif’s wife, Kulsoom, who is being treated there for cancer and is in a coma after suffering a heart attack last month.

    You really need to sit out this for a while and look and copy IF YOU CAN.

    Your collective attempt to demonize Mia failed NOT ONLY BECAUSE ALL OF YOUR MATERIAL LACKED SUBSTANCE and was the archaic message of the dodo bird Bobby Morris BUT BECAUSE your party was out of your depth

    You always were out of your depth and NOW YOUR DLP IS DEAD.

    NOT ONE OF YOU CAN OR WILL BE ALLOWED BACK INTO THE House of Assembly again.

    Sit and watch…the Rise of a New Movement

    Mel it into a big ting and reach out to America &A few international agencies

    De ole man specifically been trying to tell you bout dese IFIs

    I want you to get in the Carter foundation

    De ole man suggest dat you reach out to Jimmy heself

    And Patterson from Jamaica to do dis ting.

    Mia you got to up you game doah and get rid of dese small island people you gots round you.

    Dale and Kerrie and dem boys gine doom you to a five year term girl.

    Mark de ole man words.

    You really got to get all de bajans involved in dis ting.

    Looka here is an excerpt from on uh Jimmy documents

    It reads “…Two years ago, The Carter Center published Combating Corruption in Jamaica, A Citizen’s Guide, in which leading Jamaican scholars and legal analysts described and critiqued emerging legislation.

    The Guide was an instant success, and we ran short of copies within weeks as legislation went to Parliamentary debate and citizens successfully rallied to persuade their representatives to improve the language of the text before passage.

    It was a stirring demonstration of how the democratic process should work and why Jamaica remains a vibrant polity…”

    Give de People a deadline for the Integrity Legislation and Commission and The Freedom of Information Act

    And mek dis a big national ting, wid live streaming, and ting and let all we big mouf bajans menses come and show how big we imaginary mandingo appendages are (and let de womdns do de same ting wigh dem pudendas…)
