The current administration has invested in the media and media personnel has invested in the Mottley administration. Some media practitioners were forced out of CBC and landed at Starcom. But some of the others are riding the fatted calf for all it is worth. (David Thompson spoke of the fatted calf being shared among the DLP members after the elections in 2008. Fourteen years later we are still there.)
They may be professionals but how many of their statements in the print media, behind a microphone or in front of a TV camera were motivated by a political agenda or professional integrity.
The Market Vendor aka Vic Fernandes has been used to influence the public with comedy and encourage John Public to rail against individuals and groups with views against the government of the day. Don’t forget when the vendor lambasted the DLP government.
Corey Layne was said to be an objective moderator on the airwaves. Any person who is a critical thinker must question that thinking by now.
We must be more aware of what is being put out by the media, who is the source and why news items are considered newsworthy or not.
Pay attention to where these people have turned up…
1. David Ellis, Starcom (Station Manager, Retired) – COVID-19 Public Advisor (Sep. 2021-present)
2. Sanka Price, Starcom/NATION (News Editor) – CEO, Caribbean Broadcasting Corporation (2020.06.15-present)
3. Roy Morris, Barbados Today (Editor-In-Chief) – Press Secretary to the Prime Minister
4. Vic Fernandes, Capital Media (Chairman)
- Chairman, Grantley Adams International Airport (2018-2021)
- Chairman, Barbados National Oil Company Limited (2021.07.01-present)
- Member, National Cruise Development
- Commission (2018.08.16-2019.02.15)
5. Carol Roberts-Reifer, Starcom (Radio Personality)
- CEO, National Cultural Foundation (2018-present)
- Deputy Chairperson, Board of Management, Christ Church Foundation School (2018-present)
6. Corey Layne, Starcom (Radio Personality) – BLP Candidate, City of Bridgetown, 2022
FYI
What I submitted began:
Both BLP and DLP administrations have used CBC for their own propaganda.

Koolaid is koolaid. It could be red or yellow. But that does not make it fruit punch or orange juice. Read any lable and see. It is a version of the real thing. It may quench the thirst at a cheaper cost but it is not the real McCoy.
The local news today is like koolaid. It lacks pith. It is watered down. The media people need to print and air the news that matters to all classes instead of herding sheep for the BLP and DLP.
Some of us can see through that koolaid. But not enough of us.
I don’t spend a cent of the taxpayers’ money but someone here gave me zero marks. That’s cool. Now try marking the politicians who misspend it.
Don’t worry, Paula! We did not all give you zero.
Continue to do your thing!

Capitalism causes the Hills and Valleys of very rich and very poor around the world and also within nations.
If you watch TV you can see there are many poor in the richest country in the world and USA is less Dallas and Dynasty but more redneck and hillbilly and people are ugly despite the impression given by Hollywood.
China is a leveler for poor nations while USA and UK killed muslims by the millions and is deemed biggest threat due to priorities of limited world resources changing from fuel to rare earth resources.
Mia has chosen the right side in this issue and made a solid stand.
What is Mia stand
I am reminded of the Bible story Jacob and Esau
Which questions the state of an individual mind to.win by any means necessary
.. . .. . .
“What is Mia stand”
Mia’s stand is to be friends with China
and ignore what the West say about China
As your position is on the wrong side it strengthens confirms the point I made
Mia owes the West more favours than she owes China
That would be her delimia trying to serve two masters at one time
Which brings the matter of the Chinese loan for road repairs
A deal which lacks full transparency and accountability to the people one which should detail time period for repayment and if or what govt offered China as a form of repayment to secure the loan
The voice of Jacob and the hands of Esau
God is in all and there is no good people and bad people division that is in any part of God’s name that can be used to win any battle, as God is about non-violence and love, so stop tripping. There was a Black Man hating on China to kick off DLP campaign how stupid is that.
Anyone who fights me over Barbados election issues is clearly wasting their time as it has nothing to do with me and is not my problem or concern.

Read PW, nothing new. All he said has been on the blog before today.
Read MR, cannot remember what it was all about …onset of dementia.
It is standard policy for columnists who are members of political parties to withdraw during the leadin to a general election.
@ Theo
Are we to really believe that the concerns raised by Patterson, were not known to the PM, who called the election?
Lorenzo January 8, 2022 7:46 AM
“Now the trini on brasstacks calling for balance and being allowed to campaign by the moderators on the same programme led by Mr Blackman and Dr Hinds both of whom seemed to be with 5he dems.”
Lorenzo,
I entertain all of my callers on “Down to Brass Tacks”.
The “Trini Lady” is very intelligent and routinely raises and discusses issues of national importance. For example, with respect to the Astrazeneca vaccine procurement scandal, Barbados needed 300,000 doses of vaccine at a total cost of around US$900,000. Instead, a scheme was conceptualized and cloaked in absolute secrecy to pass US$40.8 million (US24 million from Barbadian taxpayers, and US$16.8 from St. Lucian and Bahamian taxpayers) through the hands of Mark Maloney via an offshore fund . We only found out about this scandalous scheme because Mark Maloney got robbed and he had to submit “incriminating” documents to a court in the USA.
Every Barbadian should make sure they understand this issue.
The Trini Lady has demonstrated, through her contributions to the programme, that she understands this issue. Do you? Have you demonstrated such an understanding anytime? Anywhere?
Rather than focusing your attention on personalities and wasting people’s time with foolishness, why not raise an issue of national importance for us to consider and discuss?
Finally, I have the right to join or support any political party of my choice. You cannot take that right from me, so as the song says, “you better steer yuhself.”
A caller can be a supporter of a political party and have positions worth sharing. Many do not have the comprehension skills it seems to hear the message.
@ Walter Blackman
A sincere welcome back to the airwaves. I think that there are many on BU, who maybe unaware ,that you had already established yourself , as a great moderator donkey years ago.
All the best to you and yours in 2022.
@WB
Happy New Year.
It is always good to see you.
You may have that right, but (God forbid) if you catch covid-19 before election day, then you might find there is no right to vote
William, thanks. I wish you and yours the very best in 2022 also. Based on the info available to you at this time, will we have competitive cricket in Atlanta this year? Too early to tell?

@WB
Happy New Year.

TheOGazerts,
Thanks and Happy New Year to you and yours also.
I read the article by Garth Patterson which the blogmaster put up. Given the COVID-19 pandemic, there is now a disconnect between an individual’s constitutional right to vote, and the government’s right to protect the public’s health by imposing measures through the legislation of emergency powers. All persons.in isolation (because of testing positive for COVID) at the time of elections will become victims of that disconnect. They will be disenfranchised. What a pity.
I am sorry that the PM, in her haste to call elections, did not have the foresight to make provision for mail-in ballots during this “pandemic election”. That provision would have prevented this issue from surfacing. That said, I agree with Garth’s practical assessment of the situation: The die has already been cast. Positive COVID cases will not vote.
Walter should we hold the EBC accountable as well?
The PM stands as a qualified professional lawyer
If she did not know of the impact of her decision on voters right
Then questions ought to be asked of her qualifications to be a lawyer
Everything Mia does are alligned to political gamesmanship with intent to divide a country
Wickedness in high places
Mr Blackman like you stated you have a right to join any political psrty of your chpice so do i.Your ladt programme was a clear casre of you sllowimg known dems to canvass on the programme which as the Statsman and Tall boy told you was clear biasness on your part.You allowed the trini dem, Alvin, Straker,s and other known dems to speak virtually unchallenged and then rried to sidetrack blp supporters.You are sounded a lot like Ms Holder on CBC a few yesrs back.It will not help the dems or your profile as a moderator.You need to reel and come again as i know you can do a lot better as you did in the past.I gone.
Walter and Kristina are the blogmaster’s favourites.
For the record.

“A caller can be a supporter of a political party and have positions worth sharing. Many do not have the comprehension skills it seems to hear the message.”
David,
In my humble opinion, a lack of comprehension skills is not the underlying problem. Many persons are “singing for their supper.” Additionally, like all countries in the world, we have our fair share of hypocrites and deceivers.
Some Walter, not everyone displaying ignorance are hitched to a political party.
LorenzoJanuary 9, 2022 12:40 PM
“I gone.”
Lorenzo,
A brilliant decision on your part.
@David, on the other blog there is chatter of petty manifestos and as seen above the real issue is always about PERFORMANCE not unfulfilled promises.
Unfortunately atrocious performance is displayed BIGLY by ALL the political operatives… so they all like to waste time on what they plan to do!
The covid vote issue detailed by Patterson was EVIDENT (to everyone) since last year and there was no political PERFORMANCE done to address it… NONE.
Thus when he says “Barbadians deserve better” we should be ANGRY.
Phillips of Solutions brought an absurd, ineffectual case against the govt re the Republican Act, however, neither he nor the Pastor or Eastmond or any of the seasoned Dems seem to accept that they have an effective, valid legal case against this disenfranchisement of thousands of Bajans.
As Paterson said “the die is cast; the electoral process is well in train […] With the projected exponential increase in daily confirmed positive cases and, barring some miracle (or the intervention of the courts), the undemocratic disenfranchisement of an inestimable number of otherwise qualified voters seems an inevitable certainty.”
I remain shocked that NO opposition pol saw a legal fight as a powerful act on behalf of ALL Bajans. That’s a clearly stark difference between PERFORMANCE and not just BS promises!
@Dee Word
Yes.
Barbadians have a problem prioritizing issues for many reasons. In large part because of ignorance, difference to politicians and entitlement from years f soft living etc.
DavidJanuary 9, 2022 12:43 PM
Walter should we hold the EBC accountable as well?
David,
Maybe in theory.
However. from a practical standpoint, I heard the Chairman of the EBC a day or two ago hinting that for this election, there is nothing that the EBC can do. Its hands are tied. According to him, any changes made to the current election regulations can only take effect from the next elections.
@Walter
Joke.
Leslie Haynes is a trusted confidant who operates from deep in Mottley’s chambers.
David, my instinctive reaction to the EBC chairman’s comments was similar to yours. I believe that our national agencies and institutions should be more flexible and adaptable when faced with changing circumstances.
It is unfortunate that at important election such as this one given the current state of things, we have to be distracted with these kinds of issues.
I was told from a very young age that all citizens have a RIGHT and RESPONSIBILITY to vote in the General elections.
All who want to vote should be allowed to do so vaccinated, infected with covid or not.
@ Hants
The official rebuttal is that sick people who are hospitalized, prisoners etc do not vote.
@ David who wrote ” sick people who are hospitalized, prisoners etc do not vote.”
True when things are ” normal “.
However Covid has made thousands sick and that is why the elections should be posponed.
buh doan mine me. Wunna maguffees know mo betta than me.
“All who want to vote should be allowed to do so vaccinated, infected with covid or not.”
an increase in spread of Covid would cause bigger issues
A few minutes before today’s “Brass Tacks” ended, a caller made the point that the Minister of Health did not know of the vaccine scandal, and he is a member of the cabinet. Since Ms. Kay McConney, the BLP candidate for Christ Church West, had just a few minutes ago emphasized the collective responsibility of cabinet, the caller asked her to address the issue of cabinet not collectively knowing about the vaccine scandal. She refused to touch it.
I intend to ask each candidate (from every party) who knocks on my door for a vote what they know of the vaccine scandal, and where have they made their position on it known publicly. This is an issue related to the governance of Barbados, and as a civic-minded Barbadian, I deserve to get answers. No reasonable answer, no vote.
@Walter
It means former ministers will avoid your shows. They will probably gravitate to Peter Wickham LOL.
Sorry. St. Philip West.
Walter
I am with you on that point (vaccine scam ) & other issues
For e.g – taking up tax payers funds to pay police officers who – twice – lost the case in 2 Courts of Law !
While I support your push on these issues on Brasstacks and here on BU
A word of caution
David of BU
Will not be too enthused to push the vaccine scam issue !
As he strongly believes MAM has managed Barbados extremely well the past 3 1/2 years……and truly deserves all 30 seats, again, for the next 3 _ 5 years !
@5Dub, that’s simply an invalid argument. It’s a convenient comment offered by indifferent or lazy pols that there would be “an increase in spread of Covid” causing more problems if “All who want to vote should be allowed to do so vaccinated, infected with covid or not.”
There is TOO much evidence of focused, energized leaders and political operatives who got their covid positive citizens to vote without causing any grave societal disadvantage.
Barbados is too small that we could not have adopted any of the more feasible and scalable models to fit our needs (and budget). Several have been noted across these pages previously .
@ Walter
We managed last year. I think ,unless the COVID concerns get more challenging, we should get some form going. Last season , we did a 10 over competition and then a 20.
William, I really hope that we can get cricket going again in Atlanta. As you are fully aware, the innocent looking cricket game forms the foundation for our (Barbadian, West Indian and Indo-Pakistani) social interactions, and creates a welcome cultural oasis for us in the American south. Good luck in your attempt this year to get the regular competitions back on track.
“All who want to vote should be allowed to do so vaccinated, infected with covid or not.”
How would you feel if you caught Covid while voting or while working in a poll station or if there is a massive increase in infections across the country
would you even risk voting if you knew that you would be mixing with infected people
The vaccine issue, as reported in news dailies, reeks of naivete.
Could never have happened with adequate due diligence as to the US party chosen as a partner.
Honestly, I am astounded that such happened.
Without knowing full details, not making accusations, and not referring directly to this case, but does the US regulation against mail fraud give protection against parties who act in less than good faith??
In hindsight with slow motion Bajan thinking and their rumour mills the vaccine ‘scam’ (against Maloney) was a sad affair,
but in context and consideration of the actual timeline the effort was made in April 2021 when Barbados, St Lucia and Bahamas were in desperate need of procuring medicine that was not made available to them
another case of move on nothing to see here
DavidJanuary 9, 2022 1:34 PM
@ Hants
The official rebuttal is that sick people who are hospitalized, prisoners etc do not vote.
Xxxxxxx
That is their choice
Not a declaration made by govt which breaks a law of a determination to citizens right
Even more reason why govt PM decision was a poor judgement call and should be corrected before the election is called

Excellent response.
If the scammer was not scammed and vaccine he bought were all sham, then thousand of Bajans would be suffering from the scam ran by MAM
@AC
A good spell of bowling this morning.
All the selectors are impressed.
The government has repeatedly stated a condition of the transaction was that the vaccines be delivered from an authorized source.

(Quote):

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
For true!
So why then did the same due diligence adhering government fail to follow standard operating procedures and refused to engage the services of authorized agencies to sources pharmaceuticals to protect the health of the nation?
How come neither the substantive Minister of Health nor, according to McConney, any other member(s) of the cabinet of yes-men and women was aware of this “condition” or the authorized agent selected to source a vaccine from an authorized source?
Walter Blackman has every right to make this matter a life or death elections issue.
Poor Uncle Jeff must be totally pissed off with his despotic niece!
@Miller
According to the PM sourcing vaccines at that time was akin to the wild wild west.
@ David January 9, 2022 4:45 PM
And who was “Billy the Kid”?
The Maloney fella with his known antecedents like ‘blackmailing’ the previous DLP administration into breaking the rules and ‘liquidating’ the Workers Housing Credit Fund in order to get his money for the Valery and Grotto overpriced housing solutions?
@Miller
Ask former MOF Sinckler what are MAM’s 2 best qualities.
Mr Blackman the so callef intelligent Trini dem sings in your choir that is why you allow her to speak uninterupted.She is a known manipulator of moderators by sucking up to them to get her way.She tried it with Mr Ellis, Mr Johnson, Ms Haig and many others.The vaccine issue suits hers and your political agenda.She never calls Mr Wivkham because she cannot get away with some of the statements she makes with him and she would have to provide the evidence.The next time she is on ask her if she knows anything of the alleged missing money at the transport board under the dems or of she was associated with a former leader of the dems.I gone.
@WB
all the best for 2022.
I grew up with an older “auntie” who was frequently my sounding board on how adults may react in specific situations.
She was known to quip, “wait, you could question and answer yaself real good”
I suspect you will get similar to questions pertaining to the Vaccine acquirement story.
Possibly you might locate the PS who signed the letter? She knew. Maybe Maloney dictated it lol
@NO
It seems the wild wild west reference might easily have referred the piblic service and central government!

On what basis would the government go after the so-called scammer? Is the government out of pocket?
@555,
On the contrary, a lot to see.
As I said, xxxs poor due diligence as to the counterparty at the US end.
No one has it ‘ass backwards”.
Except those who set up the contract.
Shocking incompetence.
David,
See my query re mail fraud.
The US authority is usually very keen to prosecute scammers on the wide grounds of mail fraud.
Of course, I am not alleging that this occurred here, just discussing generally.
Consider the broadening of the application and maling or delivery being only tangential to any fraudulent scheme.

We were required to wear a mask and we lined up 6 feet apart.
We exited the building immediately after placing the ballot in the box.
“As I said, xxxs poor due diligence as to the counterparty at the US end.”
maybe you are not the sharpest knife in the drawer
but can you explain to me the distinction between Maloney
and the Government of Bahamas
and the Government of St Lucia
and the Government of Barbados
and how due diligence is applicable
@ Cuhdear Bajan,
the Ontario provincial will be different.
“Elections Ontario is continuing to do its part to limit the spread of COVID-19:

Seems very sensible and practical. But alas our government has not mandated vaccines for anybody, and many of our people have been very vaccine resistant. 31.4% of people older than 12 have so far not shown up to be vaccinated even though there are enough vaccines for them and there are so many vaccine clinics that for most people a clinic is at most a 15 minute walk away in excellent weather or a short car or bus ride. Also at present we have zero vaccines for children younger than 12 and of course the little kiddies [don’t tell them, but behind their backs I call them little germ factories] live in homes with the rest of us.
I had a vaccine resistant acquaintance tell me today that Omicron covid is just “a little flu” I told him that the last time I had the ‘flu, about 10 years ago I was so sick that I hoped to die, because I though surely death is better than how I was feeling. There is no such thing as “a little ‘flu” for old people. Said acquaintance is the middle aged son of an excellent vaccinated retired public health nurse.

Misspending politicians get a big fat zero too.
You think that i like my tax money misspent by anybody B or D?
I do even like it if my children misspend my money. I send them to the shop. I demand that they bring back correct change.
Cuhdear
As always neither B or D
P.S. I have reconsidered, and you still get a big fat zero.
Cuhdear Bajan,
Ask Brian Lara and Glen McGrath. We all know where the line is. We react like when fingernails scratch a chalkboard.
Except the yardfowls, of course!
555 Dub,
Maybe you are not the shapest knife in the drawer.
Due diligence is relevant to any contract, irrespective of parties.
I have not named parties, only contracts and due diligence.
Maybe your doing a course in comprehension would assist you?
555 I do find your alliance on this topic highly interesting.
It glares through, quite in contrast to your position generally.
David,
To your earlier open question, the DLP lost the prior election for three reasons.
The electorate recognised the inaction and mismanagement was taking Barbados to hell and back…or maybe not back.
Monetary campaign assistance was not forthcoming.
The youth. Ah yes, the youth, something that the BLP has got right and the DLP has still not grasped.
Compare the candidate slates.
And this election wull see three more years of youth voting eligibility.
“Due diligence is relevant to any contract, irrespective of parties.”
You are using big words like you know shit
but are using fuzzy logic like you don’t know shit
there was no contract between the US “Counterparty” and the Government of Barbados son
555
Oh no. My logic is sound.
Again, do a course in comprehension. That should help you a lot.
What your statements do show, is your lack of understanding of many things.
Your usual ranting with airy fairy rubbish.
Where did I state that there was a contract between a US counterparty and the Gov of Barbados?
You are like a little dog with a bone..that is all.
But tell us all about the contracts, who had a contract etc.
Explain it all.
Come on, little know it all.
“555 I do find your alliance on this topic highly interesting.”
It took you 8 hours to come up with the retort
you must have low energy bitch
and you have been stumped like a chump
being fucked up sideways
What work experience have you got in (a) contract law (b) due diligence in the real word of business
Make you points on the issues and move on shall we?
“Inquiring minds would get that answer soon”
oh yes they will, been hearing all about that, even saw some documentation shared on most platforms last week.
“Enquiring minds would get that answer soon”
Enquiring minds is a marketing gimmick used by the Nation Enquirer supermarket tabloid and also as a trope by people who clearly don’t know something but love to gossip like bitches.
One Bu geezer who has not checked the details of facts wants me to spoon feed him about contracts and lack of due diligence he alleges between 3 Caribbean Government as Clients their Agent and a US Counterparty when all relevant documentation is contained in a statement in a Court of Law filed by the Petitioning Agent on this matter and has been posted in the public domain media and several websites. Items of Evidence submitted shows Contracts between Barbados and Agent. The Agent and Counterparty. Contract Lawyers performing Due Diligence and their Legal Correspondence.
@Kiki
If you read all the information published there is additional argument to be made about the liability of the government if incompetence can be proved by the agent. We should leave this to the law courts.
An agent must be loyal to their principal and put the principal’s interests ahead of their own. An agent must therefore avoid situations where their own interests conflict with their duty to the principal, unless the principal, with full knowledge of the facts, agrees.
The dlp meeting last night was not a performance of gimmicks and long empty promises
The strategist highlighted a performance with an intent which placed good governance at the forefront of managing the country affairs

Any one of them better than Mia
Mia performance as a leader has been below par and went against the best interest of the most vulnerable
She said to be qualified as a lawyer but don’t know or understand the basic tenets of the Constitution
Neither of those u have mentioned would have dare trampled on the Constitution for pure political interest
“Neither of those u have mentioned would have dare trampled on the Constitution for pure political interest”

Lorenzo it must be boring in the blp camp
At every dlp.meeting the blp cackling geese shows
It must be boring on their end
Not only do they show up.but behave like headless chickens cussing and carrying on about Depezia
AC no blp supporter would waste time being seen around any dlp meeting.In my view it would be a complete waste of time nothing to be gain listening to political lightweights like Ms Depeiza, Ms Armstrong or whoever else you have.The only one worthwhile in my view is Mr Sealy who along with a few orhers may win a seat.The last time you spoke about crowds at meetings was in St George North and we know how that turned out..I gone.

Ms Armstrong shrieks like and gestures as if she were Chris Sinckler’s daughter. Of course, I would never want to state that as a fact, because that would be a VERY serious insult punishable by at least 12 months in prison.
I attach a linked picture here. A picture is worth a thousand words.
