[Barbados Underground] Yes Jeff, Charles Herbert faces a monumental task, not least because he has already been convicted in the court of public opinion. The social meaning of the case has become about the history of race relations in Barbados, so although the court case is supposed to consider the evidence dispassionately, I am not certain that a jury will lack bias

Just a little comic relief
“What this whole Herbert/Rogers thing proves is that white people are not expected to be caught in criminal matters.”
They always tell you, whatever you do, don’t get caught..lol
For those who now wants to practice the art of deception holding Charles Herbert to a higher standard as in planting seeds whereby Charles Herbert can reap to his benefit .just becareful for as day runs into night if Charles Herbert is found not guilty of all Charges
The payback would come unto his children and for generations to come
Karma is a bitch
Hear that MoneyB…..yall don’t stand a chance with the exyardfowl on the Herbert rampage..lol
@ Pieceundertherock
I read with amazement the crap spouted by Herbert, John and Moneybrain about their colleague Charles Herbert and how brilliant he is.
For me I don’t see race but knowing what I know goes on locally and many major players most would not suspect.
Mainly men but a few women who we would all say are successful and clean.
Drug trafficking boils down to one thing making money and lots of it.
Let me give you an example of someone in Corporate Barbados a Manager at RBC Bank, he should not be a Banker but a brilliant Chemist.
For those of you who like schools he is a Combermere graduate.
I was told first by a Clifford Braithwaithe aka Jah Jah Canadian Deportee for major drug trafficking and who resides in the Deacons area that Frank Drakes of RBC Bank for a number of years before he was deported used to smuggle cocaine in Windmill Hotsauce manufactured locally.
Frank Drakes would then travel to Canada from time to time and through a process seperate and bring back to its original white substance the cocaine.
For this Frank made major money on the side.
His ex-wife would then travel to Cayman island or similar offshore banking jurisdiction.
Frank used to drive a $200,000 plus BMW and owns a residence that his Banking salary cannot justify.
When questioned directly he would tell you he made extra money by renting hire cars.
This was Barbados Canadian ring was confirmed to me by Christopher Hawskesworth before he was murdered in person as he was the one supplying most of the cocaine when this Barbados Canada trafficking was going on.
Frank Drakes is also a UWI graduate.
KEEP ON TALKING WHISTLE BLOWER
By the time this case comes before a judge and jury Charles Herbert and his side Kick in criminality would be all well lawyered up sufficient so that the jury would put away all biasis and forced to look upon a restructing of the evidence whith a guarded finger to point all illegalities towards Prescod

“… if Charles Herbert is found not guilty of all Charges

+++++++++++++++
I strongly believe that Herbert and Rogers will be found not guilty on all charges based on the rock solid evidence that I am told is in the hands of the Police. You and I agree on this much… the Bajan public, yourself included, are not going to accept the testimony of the Police and the evidence that they have uncovered.
@Barbados Underground Whistleblower July 29, 2018 5:05 PM
I am learning a great deal from you… please continue to provide me with this invaluable education.
Why could that evidence not have been used to avoid charging them, did they only get the evidence that same day Herbert talked about it in his interview…the same day they were charged???
makes no sense.
@ Well, Well July 29, 2018 4:32 PM
“What this whole Herbert/Rogers thing proves is that white people are not expected to be caught in criminal matters.”
They always tell you, whatever you do, don’t get caught..lol..”
So what’s so new about Bajan whites’ involvement in ‘criminal’ activities, whether illegal or immoral?
If the ancestors of that group could have made millions from the trafficking of humans and the enslavement of millions to make their fortunes from sugar, a sweet plant to replace tobacco, why are you surprised that their descendants would want to make similar ‘killings ‘from other plants whether cannabis or coca?
What needs to be done (as was done with the passing of the Slavery Abolition & Emancipation Acts) is the freeing up of the one plant ‘more suitable’ to its cultivation, given the Barbadian topographic and agronomic conditions.
At least it might give some ‘genuine’ credence to that bogus claim in the line in the National Anthem of ‘these fields and hills beyond recall are now the black people’s very own’.
Now that King Sugar- which was the raison d’être for white people’s wealth and black people’s misery- is dead the tables can be turned and blacks can exploit this fast disappearing golden opportunity which has been presented to them and turn old dying sugary diabetic Buybadus into a republic of New Age green-living.
PTL i already gave my two cents worth of a the possibilty of his release observe from previous high profile cases where the accused a celebrity was not found not guilty in light of hardened evidence.however when such evidence is presented to the jury the evidence is missing the raw effect which had made the general public formed a conclusion of guilty
Redland PLANTATION connection:
PLANTATION MANAGER CHARGED WITH FIREARM OFFENCE BY BARBADOS POLICE
Members of the Drug Squad have arrested and charged plantation Manager Adrian Ricardo Moore, of Redland Plantation for the offence of “Transfer of licenced firearm without informing the Commissioner of Police”
This arrest was made during the on-going investigation into the drug landing on Tuesday 4 June 2013 at Fyreswell, St. Lucy where a boat suspected to have been used was also recovered. This boat in questioned was registered a company under Adrian Moore, and he was not in possession of a firearm licensed to him.
@ PeterLarencethompson
The one thing I want you to learn from me is this the Barbados Police Force officers especially Detectives are very very corrupt.
You cannot trust anything that comes from it. From first hand experience if it is positive news from the Police it means that several involved are making money and kickbacks.
I promised you that I am not bullshitting anyone reading what I am divulging.
I have sat in a room with 3 local Detectives telling me they want to work with me conducting illegal activities as they know I know how to make money. I REFUSED AS I WOULD NEVER WORK WITH DIRTY POLICE.
I have also been forced to buy a taser gun $1500 from a police officer after reporting a fraudulent check for over $7000 which I later turned the taser gun over to a prominent Attorney to show how corrupt the Police are. The same Policeman wanted to sell me illegal guns after admitting he had a source among fellow officers.
I once help the Black Rock Police to solve a Burglary and was asked by the Sargeant Detective for something for his boys, I was confused by his question and asked him to repeat he asked me directly for a $1000 for him and his fellow detectives for doing the follow-up worth for solving the case after I did the majority work in cracking. I was told not to tell anyone of our discussion.
I will stop here but will be providing additional information in my interaction with the local police mostly a bunch of low paid criminals.
If justice is not served , heads will roll.
correction to my above post
follow-up work
Is Mr. Charles Herbert related to the late T.H. Herbert who owned a lumber yard in Bridgetown.
Could be an uncle or great uncle but who knows!!
I think his father worked in the Agricultural Department and helped Alfred Senn with his survey of 700 odd wells which I quote every now and again to explain the geology of the island.
That would be 1946.
Could also be his grand father.
His grandmother sold land to my grandfather and his family in the early 1950’s.
She was a widow at the time.
More likely a great uncle if at all related.
Did you ever meet T.H. Herbert?
Mr. Herbert says he is disappointed with certain sections of the media..What does he expect.
Most people are not impressed with the media house that interviewed him. He would like people to believe that white folks are immuned from criminal behaviour. All over the world white people are involved in criminal behaviour what makes “white Bajans” so different from them. I have to wholeheartedly agree with millertheanunnaki. The argument about the passenger on the plane does not even warrant a response. All I am doing is shaking my frigging head.
There was also a doctor my mother told me was Dr. Herbert whose practice was in Christ Church
What is so interesting in Mr. Herbert’s statement saying he is speaking on behalf of Mr. Rodgers. Funny he did not say on behlalf of Mr. Prescod.. Life is so interesting. I remember when I was a girl my aunt and great aunt worked as cooks at a plantation in Christ Church. My aunt and great aunt had to be there every mornng at 7.30 many times they came home after 11.00 at night if there was a dinner or party. They had to remain to clean up the kitchen before they leave. After the time came for my aunt to receive her severance the “white lady” found some kind if lousy escuse for not giving my aunt her money. My aunt had no where to turn. My aunt never received a penny. My aunt was a faithful worker and got nothing. My great aunt had to stop work because of illness. Not sure if she got hers. White folks money is their god. But as my grandmother would always say. Every pig got their Saturday.
Funny he did not say on behlalf of Mr. Prescod.

Makes perfect sense to me!!

I know doctors were often paid in those days with a chicken as money was scarce.

You mean severance or pension?
If it was in the time of NIS, severance would have been paid by the NIS and the NIS would collect from the employer if for some reason the employer was unable to pay.
Seen that happen already!!
As regards the police you cant tar all with the same brush. When I was a teenager my cousin who was pregnant was beaten by two sisters. My grandmother called the police at Boarded Hall they never came. My cousin lost her baby as a result of the beating. These two sisters apparently were sexually involved with the police. Nothing happened except that my cousin lost her baby. I really wonder if anything has change. This cousin emigrated to the USA years ago but it back because of ill health.. I would love her to give her story to the media house that intervewed the businessman.

WUNNAH NEED TO BRING BACK THE BLOG LANDSHIP SGT MAJOR
I’m bothered by Peter Thompson’s repeated trust in Herbert.
I’m bothered by John’s repeated defence of Herbert.
I’m bothered by Moneybrain’s defence of Herbert.
I’m bothered by Northern’s repeated defence of Herbert and his story that the entire crew went home and some suspicious people were seen around the yacht and they were summoned back.How come Northern that you are the only person with that cock and bull story.Next thing you would be posting is a ram goat bring a game cock.
Is there any truth in the story that Herbert owns Redland.
Is there any truth in the story that the police and drug squad arrested a Redland manager driving a Redland pick up at the scene of a drug landing at Fryers Well in 2013?
Is there any truth in the story that a Redland manager ran from Redland where the police found a stash of guns in 2016?
Is there any truth in the story that Prescod is a well known drug lord.?
These dots appear magnetic.What did Duffus say again about roads?

People often call me Johnny as a term of endearment and affection.
From the time I was a child.
It is like the Spanish Juan and Juanito or Pablo and Pablito.
William Skinner agree with your posit. Herbert’s apologists John, Lawrence ,Money brain et al destined to fail despite hauling the Newfoundland red herring industry onto BU. Whether Herbert is found guilty or not his reputation is in tatters. His legacy wont be about what he accomplished in the corporate corridors of power. He will be remembered as the big shot white man caught on a boat with illegal drugs. That’s not necessarily racist either. New Senator Delisle Bradshaw was a former Minister. His name is most associated with a football great not politics. Whatever Green verbs Leroy Parris did as a insurance guru is irrelevant because he was center stage of the CLICO collapse that destroyed thousands of lives.
The new PM I Got this or Watch muh is surrounded by lackeys and brown nosers yet there is nothing she will achieve that will erase the reputation true or false she’s had her entire adult life. Jump high jump low Herbert is finished. We await the trial for the salacious intrigues of this Caribbean crime mystery.
Is Peter Lawrence picture photoshopped is he a real black brother who rode the pine in Crumpton St. with Herbert.

“Whether Herbert is found guilty or not his reputation is in tatters”
++++++++++++++++++
I agree with you. This incident has already destroyed Herbert’s reputation and the forthcoming not guilty verdict will do very little to restore it..
All of those who are familiar with me on BU know that most of my time on this blog is spent trashing John’s White supremacist apologia. The rest of it is spent tearing MoneyBrain’s right wing capitalism to shreds. Be that as it may the core of my politics is simply a respect for truth.
I believe that the truth is that Barbados is a deeply racist society whose development is sorely hampered by a greedy oligarchy which is an unholy collaboration of corrupt White capitalists and corrupt Black politicians. I believe that the best way to combat this is by working for Black economic empowerment, specifically of women and young people. I also believe that Herbert is not guilty of this particular offence. Because I oppose White supremacist ideology does not mean that I hate all White people or that I automatically consider them guilty of everything that they are accused of… I consider each case on its merits.

Time will tell!!
@ peterlawrencethompson
I quote you consider each case on merit and hence you being the expert being loaded with all the facts that Charles Herbert is not guilty.
Due MAINLY to the facts that he went to HC with you, his assumed wealth, also like you a Barbados Scholar can do no wrong, are you living on CLOUD NINE?
This man is not a high schooler anymore, and would have matured into someone you have no clue of as today.
Didn’t Bernie Madoff, Allen Stanford and many others who make Charles Herbert so called wealth looked like a poor man’s worth in the Ghetto, did they not despite their wealth (US$ Billionaires) continue to do their deeds to acquire more wealth.
I respected when you said you have fought for black empowerment however because of old school ties you have your head buried in the sand.
I am sure if the shoe was on the other foot the same Charles Herbert, John and Moneybrain would be calling you a drug trafficker among other names.
That is why I have little respect for locals, I don’t see you coming out to defend Prescott who looks a lot like you.
@John July 29, 2018 9:35 AM “In the same breath you will also refer to the “poor black man” oblivious to the fact that it is impossible to tief from a poor man!!”
It is not impossible to tief from a poor man. All one has to do is to tief consistently over many years. Take a dollar a week from each poor man, do this consistently and before you know it you are wealthy.
If you doubt me ask the banks how to do it.

Strictly that is an army rank, not Navy and the Landship is part of the Barbados Navy.
Admiral, Vice Admiral, Commodore etc would be a more appropriate!
