BREAKING: Alex Tasker ordered extradited https://www.nationnews.com/2021/09/08/breaking-alex-tasker-ordered-extradited/

 

It is also a different version of how the story got out than what our own Attorney-General said last Thursday after the verdict was handed down. He said: “It is significant that the conviction came about because individuals who had knowledge of the events were prepared to speak out and to give evidence about wrongdoing.” The AG added: “This is something that is required at all levels in Barbados’ society whether dealing with the scourge of corruption or the scourge of gun violence.

Donville Inniss Case Points to Endemic Corruption in Barbados

The traditional media is off and running with the big headlines about the sentence federal District Court Judge Kiyo Matsumoto is scheduled to deliver today in New York in the Donville Inniss matter. It is the story traditional media will have a healthy appetite for because of flagging circulation.

Mia’s Red Bag has come up empty so far

 

The concern of the blogmaster confirmed in the deliberations during the Donville Inniss trial is the strong inference there is pervasive corrupt behaviour in the way business is conducted by some PUBLIC and PRIVATE officials in Barbados. Successive governments over the years have paid lip service to unearthing and punishing corruption even in the face of obvious indications of wrong doing. The Mia Mottley government is better placed than her predecessors given the unprecedented mandate handed to her government to do something about it. It is no secret however to those in the know that Donville and Mia are bosom buddies.

The following is a blog repost from January 20, 2020 which captures key concerns by the blogmaster, the late journalist Patrick Hoyos and the BU family.

Donville Inniss Case Points to Endemic Corruption in Barbados

The blogmaster found the Patrick Hoyos article to be – without prolix – a good summary of the Donville Inniss matter. Especially as it pertains to the inference other payments were made to Donville Inniss and that bribery by elected officials was commonplace in Barbados. Although we have the Attorney General et al saying that local laws would not have permitted prosecution of Inniss this position was challenged during the Inniss trial.

The blogmaster’s wish is that we have a dispassionate debate in Barbados and a call to action by our officials regarding the honest prosecution of public officials. It is ironic former Speaker of the House MICHAEL CARRINGTON and Adriel Brathwaite, former Attorney General showed support for Inniss by attending the trial in New York. CARRINGTON’s legacy will be that a High Court judge had to issue a court order for him to release monies due his client 70+ John Griffiths, the blogmaster will remember Brathwiate for promising to report to parliament the status of Mia Mottley’s qualification (LEC) to practice before the Courts of Barbados. He never did.

The time has come to arrest the moral and ethical rot- add criminal. We have started to experience the negative fallout of pushing our heads in the sand.

Time for the authorities to do a job.

Time for the Prime Minister, Attorney General and stakeholders to lead the charge.

Importantly, time for John Citizens to hold officials accountable.

    Yall should hear all about the Liz UN performance, people are still STUNNED after what she did and now HEARING the real TRUTH about what they all do related to human rights violations, thefts, corruption in and coming out of Barbados, but don’t expect any remorse, they none of them have any shame, respect, loyalty or honor for anyone except for who BRIBE THEM ALL.

    the Fowl Slave will come back again, was waiting for one of them to come up with their usual wicked stupidity to blast off on them and they did not disappoint. Liz can thank them, she better watch how she is talking shite to yardfowls and winding them up and loosing them on the blog….people know a whole lot more than she think they do…so come back soon.

    WURA-War-on-U

    And Liz not only KNOW that they also violate and break local laws AND international laws along with human rights laws, YET she still went up to the UN and LIED,,

    ,not once did she ever mention the torture of African children, the violation of and refusal to recognize the San Jose Charter on the Rights of the Elderly Latin America and the Caribbean to which the island is signatory, and where they wantonly STEAL ESTATES from the elderly and REFUSE to expedite any and all cases so there are no protracted decades long wait and delays.

    never once did she mention the drugs and guns freely imported into the island by minorities, never once did she mention the thefts from country and people or the RACISM, DISCRIMINATION or DISENFRANCHISEMENT practices against the majority population who look like her..

    .she knows all of that because she is part of the cabal since she never once REPORTED ANY OF THEM, herself included, for these crimes and injustices….and if she had even a little bit of a social conscience and mentioned any of the above, i would have heard about…

    ah heard what she mentioned though, and it all had to do with the PROTECTION OF CORRUPTION…because that is what they do, protect the criminality against those who look like them.

    ah guess the Fowl did not know that Liz is a hot topic.

    We have come to recognize that when they get these overseas diplomatic posts, it’s not to advance the population or make the social environment better, but to COVER UP their crimes and MONITOR how much outside agencies KNOW about what they do to the people on the island….they all need monitoring when they are in other countries PRETENDING and putting on FRAUD shows.

    Trinidad don’t PRETEND they are not corrupt and human rights violating, Barbados does…and that’s the whole problem, they don’t want to face/confront their weaknesses and make the appropriate changes, there ain’t no bribes in that..

    A friend posted that Barbados should adopt the stance of a Croatia whose leader:

    took back and sold 35 mercedes from ministers and put the proceeds in the treasury etc,

    refused to borrow from the world bank,

    sold the private presidential plane,

    refused to sell and allocate strategic public sector institutions,

    reduced her salary to 30% to be equal to average salaries of the general public;

    cancelled allowances and stimulus of ministers and diplomatic corp;

    shrunk embassies, consulates and representatives of their country abroad to reduce excessive currency and provide hard currency;

    whenever you travel on outdoor duties, you book on normal flights;

    taxes cancelled on low income;

    #1 fought CORRUPTION in ALL circles of the state; A REAL LEADER…

    DLP took a measly badminded 5% salary cut and we had to hear from them with their 19 properties and over, and million dollar bank accounts how hard it is and “they got bills to pay” and they restored the measly 5% to themselves although the economy never fully recovered from their scams/corruption with minorities….wuh Mia said so.

    so i said to him, good luck on getting that one in your area…then he went south…and in error declared, wuh it happens everywhere…then i told him that excuse is old, tired and needs to be retired….because am yet to hear that corruption in Germany negatively impacts anyone living in Christ Church, unless he knows something i don’t know….likewise, corruption in US, UK, Canada etc could NEVER impact the lives of anyone living in Barbados….am yet to hear back from him on that topic, still laughing.

    Now you have shifted from accusing me of suggesting a JV to saying all that was needed was TP approval. Talk about false equivalence. Not to mention um is the powers that be who made the statement about TP approval in the media. You and your fellow “party” members in the BU Parliament display traits eerily similar to those you so often attribute to the parliamentarians in the other place. Tell lies, support liars to preserve the “party” and seek to discredit those not in agreement with you. I never professed to be an expert but my “expertise” (according to you) seems to trouble you. Green does not look good on you. In contrast, your oft exhibited expertise in verbosity and vacillating does not bother me the least. I just enjoy posting facts and mincing wunna and watch wunna bend and twist to respond. Keep pelting, this tree is a perennial.

    WARU,

    but you are right on the containers. One man could bring in a container of chocolate, would have to fill out nine hundred forms, have sixteen people check it eight times each.

    Then have to pay 300% duty. And wait for them to offload it in six months.

    But some people can bring in other stuff, no problem, and it goes through. And if they get caught…the case seems to disappear into the ethers. We both know the case that you refer to. Everyone does. They just keep their mouths shut in fear of the wrong person hearing.

    Yet yuh wanna send a man to prison for stealing a hand of bananas or something so?

    “But some people can bring in other stuff, no problem, and it goes through. ”

    it even came to light recently that some minorities are import tax exempt from the legal imports so their businesses can prosper….their illegal shipments only require paying bribes,,,,,and all is good..

    .the majority can never get that level of relief for legal imports……both governments impose inequality and don’t even care..

    You posed a question, to which I had no answer, not being a lawyer. So I contacted one.
    I was told the acid test was ” the land must be needed for a clear public purpose”. So knowing that gov’t officials often use “clear” where I see no clarity, I dug deeper. I gave the Barbadian example without identifiers. The response I got was “how could that be public purpose?”. So I mentioned policy related to regeneration. I was told unless the ‘public’ owned the purpose of the property, how could private developers property be deemed ‘public purpose’. That all developments are done within ‘ public policy’.
    So I ask about the legal/illegal nature of expropriation for transfer to a private entity. The response was it would never happen as it would never stand up in a court.
    I was also aware of certain lands which said lawyer had involvement (on behalf of gov’t) and was told said land had not been acquired via expropriation, but the environmentally affected land had been seized for non payment of taxes and failure to comply with court stipulated remediation orders.
    So my personal conclusion (a non legal one) is in B’dos this boils down to how the court interprets ‘public purpose’.

    “So I mentioned policy related to regeneration. I was told unless the ‘public’ owned the purpose of the property, how could private developers property be deemed ‘public purpose’. That all developments are done within ‘ public policy’.

    “So I ask about the legal/illegal nature of expropriation for transfer to a private entity. The response was it would never happen as it would never stand up in a court.”

    yardfowls.fowl Slaves/Gatekeepers ARE FRAUDS…as we keep saying over and over…..and just as CORRUPT as those in the judiciary who SPEEDILY hand down decisions to TIEF people’s properties/land/estates under the guise of imminent domain and in collusion with government…..that’s the only time they move post-haste….rush and hurry, hot and sweaty TO TIEF..

    .oh and Liz Thompson did not so much as mention the human rights violating judiciary in Barbados…. as the island’s representative to the UN,…she said NOT A WORD about international law violations and that they refuse to acknowledge treaties, charters and laws related to human rights to which they are signatory….they do not, as we see with Donville, recognize their local laws or the constitution…they just make everything up to mesh with the crimes they are committing to protect corrupt activities and define ILLEGAL ACTIONS as legal.

  19. WURA-War-on-U Avatar
    WURA-War-on-U

    Everyone on the island has ALWAYS been at HIGH risk of losing properties under this wicked system they created from the 1950s and 60s. those in the parliament, bar association and judiciary did that….. and people have been CRYING OUT against this for DECADES while evil yardfowls and others told them they lied.

    ,,..hope they all lose properties going forward, then they will know and care about their own losses, but had no empathy for those thousands and thousands of people who lost properties/estates/inheritances in the same manner…

    ..what goes around come around even harder…

    It does not matter NO ….we have been saying for YEARS that the land grabs they have used the supreme court to conduct on the island ARE ALL ILLEGAL….

    i know the idiot Slave was comparing Canada to Barbados as they love to do, i have been watching…..

    but none of that changes the fact that they take pride in FORGING wills and probate documents to steal properties, huge estates, from all and sundry or just grab the land ILLEGALLY …terrorize the people if they try to fight BACK, they go so far as to set up people for prison inside and outside of Barbados, to get their criminal way…..and the people lose everything…..they even have the audacity to call stolen land, crown land, that’s why people always thought they were stealing the land and estates on behalf of UK…

    this did not start yesterday, the Slave figured if the crooks can do it in Barbados, then it must be legal in Canada and everywhere else, that is how the backward think.

    Nothing much will change as long as those SLAVE CODES and SLAVE LAWS remain on the statue books…where THEY ARE RIGHT NOW.

    they have no shame….none of the frauds in the parliament.

    it suits their small island, small negro mentality just fine to misuse laws that should be CRIMINALIZED… to promote narrow agendas…and pretend they are better than those who elected them…..keeping generations of Africans in BONDAGE through archaic laws still on the statute books which they REFUSE TO REMOVE.

  24. NorthernObserver Avatar

    That is not accurate. The question pertained specifically to Canada, and comments I made relative to situations in Toronto and Vancouver.

    Personally, I remain opposed to gov’t expropriation of property for transfer to a private party. I cannot see how it falls under “public purpose”, if the public doesn’t own it. The benefits become no greater or less than any development, in any area where said development complies with the TC&P requirements.

    am only using your post as a prop..it fit right into what i am saying….don’t take it personal, i know exactly what i want to convey….the Slave gave me an opportunity and i fully intend to use it.

    but you are saying, how they misappropriated the land in the maloney case, is considered ILLEGAL in Canada…but the Slave would still not consider how it was done in Barbados as illegal…don’t lose the thread….

    the yardfowls and those who know no better will tell you it happens everywhere……and i keep telling them that i don’t care what happens everywhere, the way they do it in Barbados is ILLEGAL and negatively IMPACTS generations of people WHO LIVE IN BARBADOS..

    In saying that, Ram got what she deserves, don’t make what they did to that property right or legal but i spoke to a family member of theirs in Trinidad some time ago, that would be the husband’s family, and he said the ones in Barbados allegedly STOLE tons of property in Barbados from blood relatives in Trinidad..

    …so there is much, much more to the Ram saga and am sure the government knows the WHOLE STORY… …they would be neck-deep involved…parliament is a REVOLVING DOOR for DBLP.

    These are some evil subhuman, if they feel you are going to win a case against them in court, they will set you up…they are determined that the African population must see no justice on the island…,,and everyone is subordinate to them, that’s why nothing of significance ever gets done and everything is unsustainable…it’s not just about one issue, these slime on legs believe themselves to be slave masters…

    and whomever they target must also willingly comply…but their turn is here.

    as has been posted on here ad nauseum, tons of people lost properties over generations on the island ILLEGALLY..am not speaking of Canadian laws…,,,many know it’s true and CHOOSE not to believe, lost in their la la land… but they may be next.

    Track ‘political’ cash
    ONE WEEK AGO there was a veil over Barbados as many were on edge as to the fate which would befall former Cabinet minister Donville Inniss, who was facing sentence before a United States federal court.
    A two-year sentence was a catastrophic fall from grace for a man once viewed as a flamboyant politician with a bright future.
    Inniss is no rookie politician and getting entangled in money laundering was injudicious from the outset.
    His conviction has stained the Democratic Labour Party, which he served as a high-ranking official; his family and friends; and, most importantly, Barbados’ reputation. The country should expect to drop a few notches in Transparency International’s perception of corruption next listing, and also attract the wrong type of attention from various international agencies.
    By his actions, Inniss has succeeded in further undermining some people’s already fragile trust in politicians, and brought hurt and disappointment to many Barbadians regardless of political persuasion.
    This is not a time for speculation about the sentence imposed, whether he had the best legal team or whether he is a fall guy.
    These are immaterial assumptions at this stage since Inniss went through the judicial process, was found guilty and received a sentence that is not a mere slap on the wrist.
    Inniss is remorseful based on his comments at his sentencing when he spoke of a “deep and sincere apology” for the pain, suffering and embarrassment caused by his impropriety. We commiserate with him on his tribulation.
    We doubt he will offend again since being found guilty and facing time behind bars should be a deterrent from following a path of wrongdoing, regardless of the anecdotal evidence that his actions followed any entrenched practice and the tradition of people in public office in Barbados.
    Out of bad should come good. His punishment is a warning to other elected officials, public officials and those in
    the private sector that they cannot use their office for personal gain. It should also push the ruling Barbados Labour Party to deliver on its promise of enacting meaningful integrity in public life legislation before the Parliament rises.
    The cancer of corruption in Barbados is with funding of election campaigns and the lack of public accountability of political parties.
    Until political parties are registered and audited by independent auditors and there is an account for all the donations, the problems of “dirty money” will continue.
    Provision must be made to follow the money. This requires openness and transparency.
    So while whistle-blower legislation is an adjunct to integrity laws, these efforts will be useless without freedom of information legislation which allows for public scrutiny of all Government departments, agencies and statutory corporations.
    The laws will also be deficient if private contractors and other providers of services to the state and political parties escape being examined.
    The veil is gone and the curtains have been pulled aside. What is inside may not be totally shocking, but it does not look good.
    The cancer of corruption in
    Barbados is with funding of election campaigns and the lack of public accountability of political parties.

    She was POSTING the SAME DAMN THING, OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER, since 3:28 AM. That is, since TWENTY-EIGHT MINUTES PASS 3 ‘O CLOCK AM THIS MORNING.

    NOTHING NEW, yuh know. Just the same thing yuh read pun all the other blogs.

    IT IS BORING.

    She needs to get LIFE beyond the computer. This woman like she ain’t got no household chores to do, but does spend the WHOLE DAY on BU.

    Lorenzo, yuh know what duz mek me laugh? Let somebody come here and say they heard XYZ. She going to come out and said she heard so weeks ago. Or, if somebody said A happen at B, she either have a sister, brother, aunt, uncle, cousin, friend that working there, that told her so months ago. Don’t care what the topic about, somebody does tell her in advance long before we hear bout it. Just like how she say people in St. Thomas tell her that Rolerick Hinds is the representative for St. Thomas.

    Somebody talk bout St. Vincent and all of a sudden she know everything about there because her maternal grand mother is Vincentian. They talk about St. Lucia, she know there and more because her paternal grand mother is St. Lucian. Talk bout Antigua, she know bout it because she worked there.

    Don’t care what island you talk about, she either lived there or have some family member from there. I remember a time back she said she had a cousin or niece or somebody that get back 25 or 30 CXC subjects, when that is a lot more than what CXC offers, even when you add in CAPE.

What is even more hilarious is that I supported my position with the link to a WHOLE High Court decision clearly demonstrating my argument to be true.

    Liz was all over tv talkin bout “suh-cum” to the amusement of many Bajans and in that spirit I used it in a post and you automatically connecting me the woman. You real igrunt yuh.🤣🤣🤣

    I don’t support blocking WURA de Salemite as it is “pellucidly clear” (to quote the late PM Arthur) that the lady depends on this blog to fufill many of those human needs identified by Maslow.

    P.S: She will accuse me of having a seance with Owen.😭

    I accept your cases. Though ” public good” and “public purpose” are not the same thing? Hence why I began this topic this time with the observation ” public good can be whatever you choose”.
    As an estate executor I was introduced to some Bahamian corporate practices, which were outright theft. Their lawyers are magicians who can reincarnate companies and assign ownership, in a manner I have never witnessed anywhere else. Caveat Emptor? Things are different there. The cost to fight them in court wasn’t worth it.
    Had that land been owned by the Goddard’s or Williams, no way expropriation would have happened? Political pressure may have been applied to get a deal done between developer and land owner, but no expropriation. Public good or no public good.
    The bottom line is the developers fucked up. They could have likely bought that land long ago, esp when the D’s were in power. The Rams may have been more agreeable. But once Hyatt was announced, that land value rose?
    The D’s lost. Then they switched from Centric to Ziva, and the footprint changed. Why they didn’t go after the abutting land on the other side? It wasn’t as deep or to expropriate that would have been “politically undesirable”?
    To me, still an unfortunate scar on Barbados. A hatchet job. It would impress some of my mob friends.

    #BTColumn – Apparitions: Where is Gline Clarke? – by Barbados Today Traffic May 1, 2021

    by Guy Hewitt

    I was contacted by a fellow citizen suggesting that she recently saw Gline Clarke in the vicinity of St. George Parish Church. I advised that it must be an apparition as our High Commissioner to Canada must be hard at work in Ottawa. How wrong I was.

    When I perused the Government of Canada’s website on Foreign Representatives in Canada: Heads of Missions, I was shocked and dismayed to discover that Barbados has no representative listed, not even a chargé d’affaires.

    I could not conceive that Canada, one of our strongest and most strategic trading partners, would be snubbed diplomatically by Barbados. But then again, we are sending a boy to do a man’s job elsewhere.

    I raise this not just as another concerned citizen but also out of the mandate given to each Barbadian by PM Mottley when she said: “Gimme de vote and watch muh.” So said so done; we are scrutinising. Recently a member of the Senate sought to enquire as to my qualifications to question the Government.

    Therefore, for purposes of elucidation, I share my Twitter profile: Child of God, husband, father, friend, social development specialist, West Indian, Anglican priest and former Ambassador. While it may be a challenge to some in the current Administration, I can walk and chew gum at the same time.

    What was the rush to recall Reginald Farley and leave Ottawa unattended? There was no urgency to remove Sir Richard Cheltenham as President of the Senate. He could easily have served in that role along with his brother Chief Justice Patterson Cheltenham, just as brothers Jack and Robert Kennedy did in the US and David and Ed Miliband did in the United Kingdom. Perhaps there was more in the mortar than the pestle.

    So why is High Commissioner Clarke here? This question is of particular concern at a time when Barbados faces its most severe recession, and Barbadians face the highest levels of unemployment and financial uncertainty. At this time of fiscal crisis, with the already ‘ginormous’ size of the Cabinet of Barbados (or better yet a wardrobe), and a ‘bariffle’ of economic advisors, how do we justify possibly having more ambassadors on payroll in Barbados than working abroad?

    So why is High Commissioner Clarke here? It shouldn’t be insufficient time for him to relocate, as we were told in September that he would be resigning from Parliament on September 30 to take up the post of Barbados’ High Commissioner to Canada. Nearly eight months later he is still in Barbados, presumably on payroll. My paid orientation before deployment was one month.

    So why is High Commissioner Clarke here? It shouldn’t be that he couldn’t travel? We all saw the reports of Pierre Arcand, Member of the National Assembly of Quebec, holidaying in Barbados for New Years. We know the Government of Canada only suspend all flights to and from the Caribbean on January 31. Further, flights have been operating through Miami to the greater US and Canada.

    So why is High Commissioner Clarke here? It shouldn’t be that he is having second thoughts about giving up his Canadian Citizenship as PM Mottley assured us that he agreed to renounce this. Perhaps he appreciates the real cost of surrendering it particularly Canada’s health insurance card, especially given the emerging challenges at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

    For those who wonder how I didn’t encounter similar problems as Barbados’ first London-born high commissioner to the UK, my being ‘London-born’ was of significance. Having being born in the UK, I took no oath of alliance. To become a Canadian citizen you must swear an oath that you “will be faithful and bear true allegiance” to Canada and “fulfil duties as a Canadian citizen.”

    So why is High Commissioner Clarke here? Perhaps of greater relevance to his being a Canadian citizen is that under the Constitution of Barbados on Disqualifications for membership of Assembly, Section 44. (1) a) stated up to 2018 that: “No person shall be qualified to be elected as a member of the House of Assembly who is, by virtue of his own act, under any acknowledgement of allegiance, obedience or adherence to a foreign Power or State…”

    The Clerk of Parliament would need to confirm whether the Constitution was breached, which should be of interest not only to all concerned citizens but I presume Canada as well. Perhaps the Minister of Foreign Affairs can shed light on High Commissioner Clarke’s situation.

    To all those who have reached out to me, I thank you for your support. As Barack Obama assured us, “In the face of impossible odds, people who love this country can change it.” May God continue to be our people’s guide.

    the Slaves are crying and don’t even know who is watching them….😎

    “…As an estate executor I was introduced to some Bahamian corporate practices, which were outright theft. Their lawyers are magicians who can reincarnate companies and assign ownership, in a manner I have never witnessed anywhere else.”

    it’s the same thing in Barbados….elevated to several very dangerous levels…..and they CANNOT run away from it….it will follow them into 2023 and BEYOND.

    all the yardfowls/Slaves can do now is cry several very long rivers, like someone cares, yall are now well known across continents, and EVERYONE will be on the LOOKOUT FOR YOU…keep trying to make it about me, the job is done.

    people got their FUTURE generations to look out for and not some old blighted neggas in a corrupt parliament, judiciary and bar association.
