A losing battle is being waged by a few Barbadian citizens who want to see a characteristic that defines Barbados protected. To the blogmaster it does not matter if the government is BLP or DLP – in cahoots with the economic class – limited windows to the sea are rapidly being slammed shut!
One of the few windows to the sea on a congested South Coast about to be closed is the open area opposite Blue Horizon at Accra. You will recall the property was sold by the last government for a dime to Mark Maloney, Phillip Tempro et al. The late Reverend Andrew Hatch must be writhing and sweating in his grave God rest his soul.
A town hall is scheduled to be held at the Accra Hotel conference room @6:30PM tomorrow 18 July 2019, a mandatory requirement of the planning process. It is unlikely the meeting will change the plan but there is the Cahill experience to inspire dissenting voices.
Sign the Petition!
Keep The Sea Window At Accra/Rockley Open
Whereas, the residents of Blue Waters, Cot Road in Rockley and the wider Rockley district and adjoining Worthing and Hastings areas along the South Coast, have no issue with the concept of redevelopment and have no desire to stop this project as a whole, we however have some legitimate issues that concern its impact on our nearby homes, the surrounding infrastructure and the use of the existing beach access, car park, window-to-the-sea and the general environment. Therefore we want these concerns considered with regard to T&CP Application Ref: 0267/02/2019 B;
So please sign and share the below petition if you share these concerns and believe that …
1. The traditional Window-To-The-Sea opposite Blue Horizon at Accra should be left open as a legacy. It is one of the last remaining vistas to the sea on that coast and the south coast of Barbados.
2. Locals and visitors alike have been using that parcel of land for parking and access unobstructed and continuously for decades, and now have a legal prescriptive right to do so.
3. The proposed 10 storey height of the hotel is out of character with the surrounding area, and will create shading and ventilation issues for the surrounding residential area. There is also the major concern on setting such a precedent for the South Coast, especially established residential areas nearby.
4. Given the above points and potential threat to existing road and sewerage infrastructure a full Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) must be done for the Blue Horizon/Blue Tourism Inc project, as presently proposed.

So I reading along and then I see this…
“A recent study revealed that if at least 100 people carpooled, 2 376 000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year would not be released into the atmosphere and 33 million gallons of gas would be saved.”
I don’t get it..
Let’s say each of those hundred people carpooled with just one other person and so we have 100 less cars on the road…. so that’s like one guy using 300,000 gallons of gas…. Where he going? When does he sleep? How can he afford it…
Please help?

Barbados in a nutshell …
”
BFA’s change of heart came a day after an article published in Barbados TODAY brought to light the plight of the Cosmos team which had cried foul when they met the Capelli Cup criteria for inclusion in the tournament but were not selected. What also made Cosmos management unhappy and complicated the matter further was that another team did not meet the requirement but were selected. That team was headed by a senior BFA official.”

Bush fires and cane fires were everywhere during the dry season. Thankfully we are getting some rain now.
Miller July 17, 2019 7:22 PM “heritage Bridgetown with its urine-laced odiferous alleys blocked with waste of all kinds!”
Please note that ALL of the urine on Bridgetown’s streets has been placed there by MEN.
I am not sure how we manage to toilet train our girls by age 2 1/2 and our boys/men are NEVER toilet trained.
If there were no men in Bridgetown, there would be n pissy alleys. This is a truth that CANNOT be refuted.
Bajan women, even those pregnant with triplets, go before they leave home, and if an emergency arises they will find a restaurant with a toilets/sinks/soap The MEN will do their business anywhere at all.

Thanks. I’ve been away too long.
I completely forgot about cane fires. Is there that much cane…?
Everyone is burning bush ….
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER….this information should be taught in schools…
African history, the TRUTH…which could not be hidden forever…..can’t blame the whites for hiding this anympre…many if us were born with the kniwledge, tried to tell Black people, but the brainwashed refused to listen. They like being brainwashed with lies and treated like slaves.
“Some excerpts from it read: ” The great ancient civilizations of Egypt and West Africa traveled to the Americas, contributing immensely to early American civilization by importing the art of pyramid building, political systems, and religious practices as well as mathematics, writing and a sophisticated calendar.”

Also, it stated that “One of the first documented instances of Africans sailing and settling in the Americas were black Egyptians led by King Ramses III, during the 19th dynasty in 1292 BC. In fact, in 445 BC, the Greek historian Herodotus wrote of the Ancient Egyptian pharaohs’ great seafaring and navigational skills. Further concrete evidence, noted by Dr. Imhotep and largely ignored by Euro-centric archaeologists, includes “Egyptian artifacts found across North America from the Algonquin writings on the East Coast to the artifacts and Egyptian place names in the Grand Canyon.”

Yet some black jackasses like the brainwashed GP are still accepting as gospel the stolen fairy tales defectively written in the image of the European about Adam & Eve Cain & Abel and the drunkard Noah and his three incestuous sons.
As the miller has always argued, black people would never see the Light of freedom until they look to the heavens and recognize their true God which has endowed them with their black skin and stop worshiping other people’s idols and kings.
Isn’t it a frighteningly true paradox that the people who evolved to be nearest to God have turned out to be the people most estranged from It?
How else can you explain the brainwashing stance taken by black people, especially Bajans, against the cultivation and use of marijuana even though they have been told in the first chapter of the same book of fables that God created every seed bearing tree for human use?
I always worry about GP…we have access to this information as i said..some of us who carry THE OLDEST AFRICAN AND EUROPEAN BLOODLINES……the oldest African bloodlines and the OLDEST European bloodlines are one and the same..seeing that Africans were in Europe long before anyone else as we well know.
…not the inbred European bloodlines from 8 to 9,000 years ago who only just arrived……..but we with the ORIGINAL BLOODLINES…ALWAYS RETURN WITH THE KNOWLEDGE…..our bloodlines are THAT OLD….and that strong.
so i have no clue why so many Black people…the ORIGINAL PEOPLES OF THE EARTH…are still so goddamn LOST..
Miller…i refuse to blame Europeans for any of this lack of knowledge in BLACK PEOPLE going forward..they can cuss me as they like..
Blaming Europeans for their crimes against humanity for 400 years is one thing….but blaming them for BLACK PEOPLE’S UTTER STUPIDITY AND REFUSAL TO FACE THEIR OWN TRUTHS…is quite another…..many of us have known the TRUTH FOR FAR TOO LONG…without having to be TOLD, so there is no excuse if asses don’t want to listen OR learn anything about themselves…
Visit before they are discombobulated.

Looking at the number of beach chairs on Accra Beach already, I wonder if our protests and Gabby’s song are too late? The beach is already gone. I have a photo to share but don’t see how to send it to this post.
