    I would behoove the Government of Barbados well to run a campaign such as this for its Government Bonds and Sovereign Debt.

    This mandatory unilateral devaluation of people’s investments is to be viewed for what it is.

    A highway robbery perpetuated by the government of Mia Cares.

    If Chairman Mia really cared we should start to see some cases being pursued in the Law Courts of Barbados so that the common man does not feel that they are required rather FORCED TO MAKE sacrifices while the theives and perpetrators of these crimes sit freely in their homes in the United States and the UK.

    Just pick one Mia that you have the goods on and run with it to the point where you get JUST ONE FELLOW PROSECUTED.

    Just let people know that you are not just blowing hot air up our pooches as we are inclined to believe

    Dear Chairman Mia,

    Most people believe that the Stoopid Cartoons that de grandson does are directed at you or formrly at the late great Fumbles.

    They are not!

    You are but an agent in the service of My Lord as are we all servants to His Will.

    Your policies and practices are flawed because you begin at the point that you want people to take up their hard earned $$ and invest in your ideas and the airy-fairy ideas of a government that all it has done in the last 120 days HAS TAXED THE BADWORD OUT OF PEOPLE.

    You have brought nothing to the table that inspires the least confidence in any observer IN fact a few things that you have brought to the table have brought some concern. But that is another matter entirely.

    Let me suggest something Chairman Mao.

    I will speak to you directly because I have an insight that you are not a fool and are willing to learn things ALBEIT by surreptitious means.

    But let me give you this insight.

    You need to task you so called Thought Leaders (i saw that somewhere here on BU i think) to deliver.

    You hired these brimlers to do what ALL OF THEM tricked you into believing that they can do and dem is not doing a pang.

    An, unlike Grenville Phillips another pretender to the throne (sorry i shoule have erased another but i had typed it already, de ole man will give you alternatives

    “…”Belt and Road” is a massive trade and infrastructure project that aims to link China — physically and financially — to dozens of economies across Asia, Europe, Africa, and Oceania.

    It consists of two parts: The “Belt,” which recreates an old Silk Road land route, and the “Road,” which is not actually a road, but a route through various oceans…”

    And that route requires secure shipping with inviolable records so instead of Rawdone playing with Mickey Mouse Mia Chump Change we need to have a bigger vision. Are you feeling me?

    De ole man is not going to blow smoke up your pooch like your thought leaders Mia, de ole man dont play dat, but what i would ask you to give serious consideration to is something that is more meaningful than all this poop than that Mandarin stand alone idiocy or the meaningless piffle that Rawdone is proposing.

    All de rest of dem showing you how to teif money our of a limited scope economy.

    De ole man showing you how to make money that will address all the economic pitfalls of yours and previous governments WHO HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO BUILD FOR PURPOSE.

    The Chinese are planning for 2050 and a world domination that will be en vogue when both you and i will long be dead.

    What you have to craft is “empire” not “term” and that is where they and the Japanese and the orientals will always beat the rest of the world with their planning.

    They have a Vision for Country that is not limited by your 5 year term.

    You need to embrace the lasting Vision and not these 5 year terms which, when the people tired of your badword they will dismiss you.

    Rise to the occasion Mottley and let these remoras release their parasitic attachments to your body.

    The cut is an absolute necessity. I really wonder why gov does not cut the capital sum itself, given that Barbados is the world´s champion of high debt load.

    In my opinion, PM MAM must act like a financial Stalin and must cut the saving bonds as well and at least 1/3 of the capital sum of every gov obligation.

    All figures who bought bonds or entered gov contracts after the rating went down to B do not deserve any mercy! Rating “B” means hands off!, “C” means “hands burnt”! Barbadians must learn the hard way what national insolvency means. Otherwise the clueless masses will vote vor a second Big Sinck in 15 years. That MUST NOT happen. The harder the cut, the better the lesson for the masses.

    @ Tron,

    Your point is taken insofar as it relates to that exclusive group of sheeple who bought these bonds as you said.

    But there is a larger subset of sheeple who do not have the luxury of discretionary income who consequently DID NOT LOSE A PANG but have been saddled with the payback of national insolvency.

    In fact Tron de ole man would actually say to you that that grouping of sheeple outnumber that elitist class of investors by some 75:1 who NOT ONLY DONT KNOW, but simply dont care.

    Go down by Moon Town opposite Kellman shop and strike up a conversation with dem fellers and tell me effing dem give a flying badword bout this madness?

    You see what I mean?

    I can guarantee you that if another buhkvunt comes to the fore like Jeremy Stephens, dat de people going vote for that buhkvunt because he does talk up a storm and sound good.

    The single prequisite for a vote among sheeple.

    Piece,

    Local politicians should play TROPICO 5 to learn how to run a Caribbean island … 😉

    From wikipedia: “In the first part of the game, Tropico must declare independence from the Crown, a spin on the British Empire. … the player must accrue $$50,000 in their Swiss Bank Account … After this, the island must generate a total of $1,000,000 to become the richest country in the Caribbean …”

    And here the general description from TROPICO 1: “… presentation of semi-democratic banana republics, using a great deal of humor while still referencing such topics as totalitarianism, electoral fraud, and the interventions of powerful companies (United Fruit is implied) …”

    Does that sound familiar?

    That is a beautiful find Tron

    It almost sounds like the EZ Cricket Board game that Dr. Basil Springer (and his faithful cohort of cuntsultants of whom Jeremy “de Moolah” Stephens was one) was able to secure (nearly said fleece) the Late David Thompson of $1 million ) for the late James Corbin’s game.

    Wunna see why we cannot go anywhere with these pretenders as Thought Leaders and Change Management Cuntsultants?

    I dont know how to say this Tron

    Any man or woman who wants to be a Thought Leader in Barbados should be able to submit an application fot that job and receive a contract for providing said services REPLETE WITH AN AGREEMENT PROTECTING HIS?HER COPYRIGHT & INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY signed my Prime Minister Mia Mottley.

    That agreement shall stipulate who get paid what ONLY WHEN THE PROJECT REALISES AGREED DELIVERABLES.

    For said same agreement the Government of Barbados shall place a non revocable security of US $ in an international organisation of international repute equal to the value of the contract (but such shall not include the profit sharing modalities that this innovation consultant will be entitled to from the initiative(s)

    So any bajan who is up to this Stepping up to the Plough as the Honourable Blogmaster recently put it can come to the real operalization of these IDEAS 4 Barbados public relations shy$# that they have been broadcasting all over the place.

    SO Let me explain how this is going to work.

    I say to the GoB I can bring you US$100 million in 3 months.

    My fee for such monies shall be 10% of the monies secured for the longevity of the programme and all revenues generated by this programme shall pay me on such a scale of x dollars for x revenues and y dollars/% for the band of revenues above x etc.

    You feeling me Tron?

    You understand what this does?

    You immediately increase the # of people who are prepared to work on a performance basis.

    You immediately show up the snake oil salesmen and remora eels who are sucking the cuntry dry

    And you get people who are prepared to put their money where their mouth is.

    That is, of course, if you seriously want to include every bajan in sharing in the economic benefits or just want to divvy up the money using the many contracts awarded to one person as they are doing now for their beloved BLP supporters.

    If Mariposa, the former DLP-ministers, their families and courtesans plus 10,000 civil servants who think like Mariposa emigrated to Dominica, that would help Barbados a lot to fight overpopulation and admin overhead!

    The island Barbados cannot nourish so many retired DLP-ministers, judges, high bureaucrats and their families. They just sit around and are a very big human burden for the taxpayer. Since Old Barrow´s days the DLP was the party of food stamps, economic insanity and social entitlements. And that must stop now.

    PM MAM must act like a social Stalin and cut the pensions of said retired group.

    The mantra “shoo fly, don’t bother me” shows that Mariposa’s dropping are hitting the mark. For ten years we were subjected to an incessant though deserving attack on the DLP party.

    Indeed, the DLP and Mariposa would have preferred silence but the BU bloggers kept pointing out the error of their way and holding their feet to the fire.

    The shoe is now on the other foot; the heirs in waiting have ascended to the throne; the defenders and attackers of the government have exchanged roles; and those who would urge protest or seek commentary are now asking for silence.

    I hope she can withstand the caustic remarks of dpD et al and continue with her efforts. Mariposa, take the viciousness of the attacks as a measure of your success. Be noisy and “stupid”. Their task is to correct or agree with you, and not to silence you.

    Hal and Mariposa.

    The financial doldrums that the Demonic Labour Party left the country in, is an aggregate of 52 years of lack of vision.

    Independence from the UK was deemed to have solved our problems and we bajans felt and still do feel that we have the right mix for continued existence in a fast changing world.

    Walk with de ole man a likkle while through my tin foil covered head as I bring you the NEW Virtual Frontier

    Have any of you ever seen Google Earth? It is a virtual GIS experience that takes satellite imagery and shifts it into 3D renditions because of “ground-truthing” by Google vehicles all over the US (an in some parts of the rest of the world where google feels that it is financially viable to do so)

    So I now have the ability to “see” foreign landscapes without actually going there.

    Now for those of you who are unconvinced of the efficacy of this technology I urge you to take a look a

    https://youtu.be/XbnLkc6r3yc

    Not all of you will want to see this video because of its violence so here is the easy version to the Google Earth segment that is pertinent https://youtu.be/XbnLkc6r3yc?t=128

    What does all this mean?

    If I append immersive exosuits to these Virtual Experiences that are now all over the place we arrive at a place where Virtual Tourism is now available in my living room.

    And before anyone says dat de ole man foil is too tight

    “…Tampa Bay Buccaneers to use SIDEKIQ Virtual Reality training

    SIDEKIQ Challenge is a Virtual Reality based football training simulator for athletes that allows players and coaches to unlock the true potential and take their game to the next level. Users will have access to high level football training used by elite athletes on their mobile phones anytime, anywhere…”

    This is the future that is coming and which is already here.

    So Mottley’s wiggle room for propping up the single donkey economy of our “Sand Sea and Sun” paradis is considerably narrowed. because “we” never proactively diversified our economy.

    What Mottley is doing is looking for “pockets of under-subscribed funding” to assist in propping up”/developing the economy.

    And Hal, it is not begging because that is precisely the mandate of these agencies.

    Mariposa, your lot has made Barbados pariah for any and all conventional funding, Mottley is going places that wunnah, EVEN THOUGH TOLD, could never amass the brain power to court.

    Let me go further to show you how effing irrelevant many of our institutions that are entrenched in these ole ways, are becoming.

    For example the waste foop Cosacap which its heads believe that they got everything tied down with

    “…Spotify for Artists – Spotify to allow artists to upload …

    Spotify has announced changes to their Spotify for Artists service that could have a major impact on their platform and the industry at-large. Currently artists must go through a third-party service like Noname in order to upload music to Spotify…”

    You feeling me?

    De grandson could build a Spotify store on to any and all Bajann artiste, en masse, and make Cosacap a ting of de past.

    We have become the do-do bird, locked in our special version of Time Tunnel 1966, with a succession of governments that have, and continue relentlessly to contribute to our collective demise.

    Singer, who took home $400 million last year, makes his fortune through activist investing. While other investors are content to buy shares or bonds, and wait for them to accumulate value, Elliott Management, which oversees almost $33 billion, specializes in taking stakes in companies or institutions where it can shape the outcome. That can include agitating for changes in leadership, or spending years and million of dollars in court pursuing its interests.

    All other treaties, conventions etc as they pertain to the majority population’s human rights that they sign on to are NEVER ENFORCED….and are ALL ignored and violated by Barbados governments..

    I have repeatedly said that when all the shouting is done, we cannot produce a 2018 model car on a 1918 production line.
    It is obvious that we are mortally afraid, to abandon both an economic and educational model, that can no longer carry the country forward.
    We talk about poor service and red tape but we want to eliminate them within the same system and using the exact models that created them.
    We know that the country floods quickly because we simply have exceptionally poor drainage. Rather than invest in modern equipment and build new drainage facilities, we think about increasing technocrats and finding “food” for those whose larders (pantries) are already full. Constantly traking back in time.
    Our water problems could be solved if we bring in modern day problem solvers from countries that were able to use technology in real time, to manage their water resources.
    So here we are still battling with trying to keep a few dollars in so- called foreign reserves to buy goods and services that we dont need.
    In other words an entire country must now pay the price because we are afraid to lick up the retail parasites.
    Now we must sit and wait on 2033 to arrive when this new Barbados will emerge debt free.The pensioners and those who are now being slaughtered would be way too old to enjoy their hard earned nest eggs or would be pushing daisies .
    That is the future because we want to live in the past.
    Where there is no vision both people and progressive ideas perish. Soon from now, we will have our cars washed by graduates of Cave Hill. We will boast that we have the best educated car washers with a piece of cloth , some water and a bucket.
    While our “educated” car washers are walking about with skillets and rags , somebody will be operating a fully modernized , computer controlled car wash somewhere in Warrens , that will wash our cars in two minutes flat.
    In the meantime the well educated hand washer will be sitting down under a tree wondering why even with a degree , he can’t get no real business.
    He should then call Beckles , Arthur and asked: Why did you not think of everybody in de house working rather than everybody in de house with a degree? Why you did not look at what the country needed rather than what you wanted.
    And by the way the person running the gas at the service station will be about to get a PhD in something called the philosophy of economics.
    Of course underwritten by the pensioners who died penniless. It’s 2033 ……….

    You said and I quote “…I have repeatedly said that when all the shouting is done, we cannot produce a 2018 model car on a 1918 production line…”

    The imagery is poignant and spot on.

    A “New wine in old vessels” parallelism that is timely, timeless and top notch.

    When God let the Israelites wander in the wilderness, He did it for 40 years “so that all of the seed of the indolent and the unbelievers would die out during that period”.

    Now that particular accommodation comes to mind because you go on to say “… It is obvious that we are mortally afraid, to abandon both an economic and educational model, that can no longer carry the country forward….”

    William, barring killing out our own set of “indolent” in a purge, like a modern day Night of the Long Knives, a la Chairman Mia and her incoming 1933 Enablement Act, what do you suggest is the required equivalent that will not get our lazy assed bajans?
