READERS ARE CAUTIONED TO REMEMBER MUGABE AND HER RECENT DESTABILIZATION SPEECH!!!
Barbados newest amendments to this law will not only expand on this erstwhile unused regulation but will redefined what Mugabe considers disloyal and subversive and, given the broad latitude of current Justices who lock up citizens for a year for a $6.99 cents finger clippers, it it not a far leap to understand how these justices will be engaged to give judgement.
Imagine, life without parole for “unexpressed seditious thoughts” which they will interpret to constitute treason.
It is easy to see an Akika Jackman? leaping to the defence of Mugabe, to deduce that de ole man’s dissent, or your own, contemplates, and orchestrates, a bloody revolution or coup.
Certainly, when we observe the docility of our Media, People and Sheeple, our parochial version of the “Silence of the Sheeple”, one can see a public that has subjected itself to abject servitude.
We and they believe that, “overt expression of their thoughts may tag them as having subversive opinions”, and they fear that the ever present BLP Poochlickers may report their dissent to Mugabe, as “vehement criticism of her government and its policies”
That translates to being branded as traitors of Country & guilty of treason
The Barbados Offences Against the Person Act and the Barbados Treason Act stipulate that crimes punishable by the death penalty in Barbados include murder, terrorism-related offenses resulting in death …, terrorism-related offenses not resulting in death … treason, espionage, and military offenses not resulting in death.
In fact, it is reported by more learned persons, and less paranoid, than de ole man that “…of the Caribbean countries, only Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago continue to sentence persons to death based on a mandatory death penalty scheme.
De ole man again echoes that report that says “the death penalty in Barbados is
mandatory for murder, terrorism-related offenses, and treason…”
De old man cannot take any comfort from current exclusions from the charge of Treason which are
(1).for minors under the age of 18, WHICH I AM NOT,
(2).pregnant women, WHICH I CAN NEVER BE, and,
(3).in cases of murder, people with intellectual and psycho-social disabilities.
Just maybe de old man might ask the Luminary if he feels that I, or other of you who are dissenting loudly, might be able to invoke that madman Defense to counter the death penalty for our Crime of the Newly Amended Treason Act?
