Another Heather Cole Column – The Road to the Segregated Republic

Posted on by

With the trend likely to continue into the month of December 2021, it is the worst of times in recent memory in Barbados. The island is the midst the valley of the shadow of death. Today Covid-19 has claimed 191 victims. The number of infected persons is on the increase and there are over 6,000 thousand of persons in home isolation. Death, fear, insecurity, discrimination, and high inflation are the order of the day in Barbados.

The government and the country are on 2 different wave lengths. While the people suffer, the government is going along with its plans to implement a Republic on November 30th. The only way to explain it, is that it is as if the people are on the ground in Barbados while the administration is millions of miles away in another galaxy with the notion that all is well in the land and not faced with the reality of a suffering Barbados.

The road to the republic was paved with greed, money, lack of good governance, government not adhering to its own financial rules and a vaccination scam until segregation appeared in the form of “safe zones” adding to the fray.

Time and time again we have heard or have been convinced that there are 2 Barbados.’ We have seen it on display in the adjudication of justice, the distinction between the wealthy and the poor, the award of government contracts, access to land and housing, jobs and placements and the list can go on, but this discrimination has never been put into law before now in a post emancipation and post-independence Barbados.

What the existence of this safe zone order means is that it is now clear that the existence of the 2 Barbados’ has become law through the Prime Minister’s Emergency Order. Basically, it is the “we against them” law that is now in effect, the basis of a segregated society. Although government has backed down on the roll out of this order, the order has not been cancelled. However, it has given teeth to some in the private sector to come up with their own guidelines.

Dr Vidya Armogan rolled out his crafted package with website and all, seeking a public private partnership so therefore the Prime Minister has knowledge of his plans. It is a plan that echoes the creation of Nazi Germany only the with dominant control by the private sector. The plan determines which company a resident of Barbados can and cannot visit. Ultimately this plan of creating safe zones will never stop the spread of the virus and perhaps the intent is not to do so. The plan will just give some who are gullible enough to believe it, a false sense of security. The one question I have for this dentist is, what will happen if it is confirmed that the vaccinated in the safe zones are the majority spreaders of Covid-19?

So, what is the trajectory here? Is it that persons who voted for this administration will be denied access to health care, jobs, education, to purchase food in the supermarket and ultimately denial to cast their vote when the next General Election is called? Are the safe zones the foundation from which the unthinkable can occur?

For those of you who may think that this idea of segregation is a fiction from the writer’s imagination, there were 2 conflicting events that occurred in Barbados yesterday. One was the public outcry to the video on Barbados Today of the dentist detailing his plans to divide and segregate society and add to the curtailed freedoms of the people of Barbados. The other was the public witnessing of the scene at Oistins last night. It was rammed with tourists at the start of the tourist season, and they were roaming without masks!

In One Barbados, we have person’s being threatened by a legal order that restricts them from entering “safe Zone” and in the Other Barbados, Tourist can enter the island without a period of quarantine and freely roam the island without masks. Perhaps someone has shared with them the BMTI’s new slogan that will not see the light of day, “Barbados: Feel Free.”

The creation may be subtle, but it is the story of segregation, and it has happened before in modern times in Germany, South Africa and the Deep South in America.

If this is just the road to the Republic, I shudder at what the Republic may bring.

This island needs a General Election and sooner rather than later and if the private sector wishes to make laws, they should feel free to meet the electorate at the polls.

  7. ‘Guinea Pig Kids’: Fauci’s Legacy of Cruel Experiments on Kids
    Recent revelations about Dr. Anthony Fauci shed new light on a 2004 BBC documentary, “Guinea Pig Kids.” The film exposed the cruel experiments — approved by Fauci and funded by U.S. taxpayers — on poor minority children as part of Fauci’s search for a cure for AIDS.

    By Ann Tomoko Rosen

    Who were the ‘Guinea Pig Kids’?

    The ICC, which marketed itself as “New York City’s only skilled nursing facility providing specialized care for children and adolescents living with HIV/AIDS,” was the scene of these crimes against humanity.

    In 1992, NIAID provided funding to reintroduce the ICC as “an outpatient clinic for HIV-positive children” and the clinic became part of Columbia University’s Pediatric AIDS Clinical Trials Unit.

    New York’s child welfare department, the Administration for Children’s Services, was empowered to offer up the vulnerable and underprivileged children under its care as lab rats to test toxic AIDS drugs like AZT, Nevirapine and various protease inhibitors, as well as experimental AIDS vaccines.

    Most of these drugs, approved for adults with AIDS, carried Black Box warnings and caused potentially lethal side effects, including bone marrow death, organ failure, deformities and brain damage.

    Most of the children were Black, Hispanic and poor, often born to drug-addicted mothers.

    NIAID, capitalizing on the prevailing AIDS orthodoxy, justified the unethical experiments performed on these kids as the only chance they had to survive.

    Jacklyn Hoerger, whose job it was to administer the drugs to the children, said:

    “We were told that if they were vomiting, if they lost their ability to walk, if they were having diarrhea, if they were dying, then all of this was because of their HIV infection. I just faithfully gave it as I was told by doctors.” (Emphasis mine /GM)

    I see that today, Nov 16th 2001 is the official release date for Robert Kennedy Jr’s new book, The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health.

    Excerpt from Amazon’s book description:

    Pharma-funded mainstream media has convinced millions of Americans that Dr. Anthony Fauci is a hero. He is anything but.

    As director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Dr. Anthony Fauci dispenses $6.1 billion in annual taxpayer-provided funding for scientific research, allowing him to dictate the subject, content, and outcome of scientific health research across the globe. Fauci uses the financial clout at his disposal to wield extraordinary influence over hospitals, universities, journals, and thousands of influential doctors and scientists—whose careers and institutions he has the power to ruin, advance, or reward.

    During more than a year of painstaking and meticulous research, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. unearthed a shocking story that obliterates media spin on Dr. Fauci . . . and that will alarm every American—Democrat or Republican—who cares about democracy, our Constitution, and the future of our children’s health.

    The Real Anthony Fauci reveals how “America’s Doctor” launched his career during the early AIDS crisis by partnering with pharmaceutical companies to sabotage safe and effective off-patent therapeutic treatments for AIDS. Fauci orchestrated fraudulent studies, and then pressured US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulators into approving a deadly chemotherapy treatment he had good reason to know was worthless against AIDS. Fauci repeatedly violated federal laws to allow his Pharma partners to use impoverished and dark-skinned children as lab rats in deadly experiments with toxic AIDS and cancer chemotherapies.

  10. Republic move ‘lacks interest’

    by ANTOINETTE CONNELL
    antoinetteconnell@nationnews.com

    THE MORE GOVERNMENT uses emergency powers during COVID-19, the greater the level of mistrust that is now behind a low interest in one of the most significant events for Barbados.
    This is according to political scientists Professor Don Marshall and Dr Kristina Hinds, who agreed that the enthusiasm for November 30, when Barbados marks its Independence and heralds a new status as a republic, was extremely low.
    Marshall, director of the Sir Arthur Lewis Institute of Social and Economic Studies, University of the West Indies (UWI), Cave Hill, is warning that careful attention must be paid to the underground section of society where graphic lyrics about daily living can be found among those with apathy not just for the republic event.
    “The worse the pandemic has become, the more Government has had to use emergency orders, and the greater the level of mistrust and distrust. It is not only reflected in the vaccine hesitancy. It is also reflected in an absence of enthusiasm with things that people would become excited about in term of the civic life of the country. For Barbadians, the civic life takes on a sort of anticipatory celebratory feeling when Independence comes around.
    “In this case, we are supposed to be transiting towards a republic but it is being done back to front with the constitutional changes that would give effect to what really is a republic of choice, coming after the President is installed,” Marshall said.
    Governor General Dame Sandra Mason is due to be sworn in as Barbados’ first President on November 30, Independence Day, when the republic transition takes effect.
    The professor said the installation was not enough to capture the interest of the population as it was not only running secondary to the COVID-19 pandemic, but also scepticism.
    “Most people at this point are moving either between aggressive indifference – captured in the lyrics of some of the underground video – to apathy or mild indifference by people who prefer to simply be quiet or express their feelings of hopelessness or disappointment with the current administration. But I clearly do not think it is statement about Barbadians not caring about the decolonisation movement or Barbadians not caring what symbolically is having a localised head of state.
    “It is coming at a time when the collective mood is waning enthusiasm with Government and governance,” he said, adding that the decade-long austerity and two-year adjustment to COVID-19 fatigue also had to be considered.
    “A lot of what we are witnessing is stemming from the mistrust of Government. I’m not prepared to say it is the mistrust of the current administration versus the last administration. When I say Government, it comprises not only the regime in power but it also comprises public health officials, spokespersons for health. It concerns spokespersons coming out of the tripartite arrangement, whether they speak on behalf of the union or those other organisations that sit in the Social Partnership. There is a healthy scepticism,” he said.
    Marshall explained that the society was becoming more and more disengaged on civics and that cried out for analysis and redress.
    “It is not necessarily anti-Mia Mottley as it is anti-establishment. We are in a particular movement where all we’ve had for the last 22 months is Government by emergency power [telling us] how long you can stay outside, how long you can stay at work, if I can have a party, you must be vaccinated to go certain places, the vaccinated need boosters, it is a pandemic of the unvaccinated . . . .
    “The whole messaging, everything from top to bottom, we can’t tell what is logical from illogical, what will work from what will not work, so I think we are in a moment where people are very uncertain and we lack enthusiasm. They [the people] will not show their enthusiasm about political theatre and these attempts to cosmetically make adjustments,” he stated.
    Meantime, Hinds, a UWI lecturer and radio talk show moderator, said that while the republic shift is monumental, so is the pandemic making the timing wrong.
    “The people’s focus is on the pandemic that has affected many families and communities. It is very difficult to think about something else at this time when people are without jobs, incomes and they are struggling to do what they need to do. So it is a bit hard to think about becoming a republic especially when the change is titular,” she told the DAILY NATION.
    Hinds said the low enthusiasm did not mean people did not support the move, but they did not have the energy to support something where there have been calls for wider consultation, discussion and a referendum, and more broad-based constitutional reform.
    “The dominant feature is that this pandemic has been so difficult, I think it is a lot for people to be enthusiastic about a nominal change. It is an important and symbolic achievement but it does not get to the fundamentals of society and the economy,” she said.

  15. Long-held frustration by taxi drivers over losing market share of cruise visitors to large tour bus companies has reached the Minister of Tourism through a viral video, prompting the Government’s strongest expression of solidarity with drivers stationed at the Bridgetown Port.

    Senator Lisa Cummins has frowned on apparent attempts from some visiting cruise ships to cut out ‘small’ taxi operators by prohibiting their passengers from patronising them while encouraging island tours with their much larger bus tours.

    Am embrassing series of bad planning by govt and Tourism officials is what caused this story to bolt faster than a Kentucky mule while the Minister nap
    It would not happen again is an excuse that a child tells a parent when the child hand is caught in the cookie jar
    Govt should shelved out some serious money to compensate the taxi drivers

    @ Dr. GP

    I agree with you 100%.

    I also agree with Donna’s views that there are so many things occurring in Barbados and with Mia Mottley’s BLP administration, we don’t have to rely on gossip or lies as our basis to highlight these shortcomings.

    But, there are some contributors who, rather than remaining silent when they don’t have anything worthwhile to contribute, will use any means necessary in their efforts to be relevant in this forum……. and would go as far as misrepresenting the truth to achieve that objective
    There are also some other contributors who have clearly demonstrated ‘that every imagination of the thoughts of their hearts are only negativity and criticism continually.’ In other words, they wake up every day looking for every negative issue to highlight on BU, and to intentionally ‘turn any positive into negative.’

    When asked to present evidence to substantiate their claims, or another contributor provides the forum with an alternative perspective and presents the relevant facts, those persons avoid answering questions and engaging in a meaningful discussion, preferring instead to be abusive. And, they become offended whenever the individuals they abuse retaliate.

    Additionally, unlike some contributors to BU, I am neither a pantomath or polymath, because I do not ‘know everything about everything.’ I prefer to ‘stay in my lane.’
    Similarly to you, I’m “willing to respond truthfully and accurately,” while presenting the relevant facts to substantiate my arguments.
    And, even though at times I may be distracted by engaging in meaningless confrontations with certain individuals, I would often “cite occasions and facts and figures” that cannot be disputed or refuted.

    Obviously, there will be those individuals who will not agree with your opinions……. a fact that MUST be ACCEPTED and RESPECTED.
    Some persons will purposely ignore facts to present arguments based on, (in Bajan parlance), ‘what they feel or believe,’ and will not be convinced otherwise, while others prefer to focus on the messenger and not the message, as their basis of disagreement.

    As I’ve mentioned to you on several occasions, although I may understand certain basic medical terms and definitions, body functions such as respiration, circulatory system, digestion, autonomic and peripheral nervous systems, diseases, chemical changes etc, my knowledge does not go beyond CXC biology and chemistry.

    Therefore, I’m a self-confessed ‘medical illiterate’ and it would foolhardy of me to challenge your expertise as a medical doctor, instead of respecting you.

    But, that’s just MY opinion.

  27. Just another safe zone imitative by the mcguffies in the Tourist Industry

    Government will meet with international cruise lines this week to find a way for small taxi operators to cash in on some of the passenger arrivals.

    Minister of Tourism and International Transport Lisa Cummins made that announcement yesterday as she recalled that the issue of large companies securing the bulk of the cruise passengers had existed for many years.

    The issue reignited over the weekend after a video of a taxi operator went viral. In the clip, the female operator complained that the cruise ship passengers were told they would not be able to leave the ships and tour the country.

    Cummins said it was a source of concern for all of the agencies involved in the resumption of cruise tourism.

    “While we understand because they are travelling sometimes to four countries in seven days and they don’t want to import the virus, nor do they want to take it back on board given the surge in the region, we are also of the view that it is perfectly within the capacity of our taxi operators to have the kind of supervision required by the ships. . .” (TG)
