   Money talks, bullshit walks. BLP spend was off the chart.

   Even the weak led by a lion is always a formidable force. Mia`s strong, stubborn leadership is unmatched.

   Prior Planning, Prevent Piss Poor Performance. Opponents, need to get a copy of The Art Of War. All Opposing parties should have put egos aside and pooled resources along with the best talent. Lacked clear and defined strategy, should have focused on broken promises and shortcomings, not personalities while using real fear to gain empathy. It was a damn war for the minds of the masses which Verla seems not to have understood that.

   Horses For Courses. You do not take midgets to fight giants

   Money not only buys the minds and hearts of the masses but blind compliance. BLP 24 hours social media blitz was overwhelming #normanschwarzkopf

   I could have freed more, only if they knew they were enslaved.

   Emotional & Social Intelligence are great attributes of leaders who are Machiavellian.

   Only People Power will keep the Prime Minister in check for power is nothing without control. Ministers are at the mercy of their political master.

   The above cliches are relevant to the whitewash. The minds of most Bajans are on automatic. We cannot fault the BLP for very effective PsychOps and deep data mining leading to pointed extreme targeting of the electorate.

   “Did you notice lots of beliefs you have actually do not serve you well in your life? Did you notice lots of them are stopping you from reaching the success and happiness that you want? You have to understand that you have been programmed during whole your childhood. Programmed to serve this society, to not think too much, to reach average levels in life, to think that you are happy. It reminds me of the Matrix movie. Remember Matrix first movie and scene of millions of souls attached to a computer? We live in a similar society. It all starts at schools, they do not teach kids to think with their heads, but instead to learn how to memorize and repeat knowledge. This is where the first levels of brainwashing start.” https://badboylifestyle.com/how-society-is-brainwashing-you/

   Well I wasn’t expecting that. PUDYRs prophetic “not one RH seat” is ringing in my mind.

   @Miller why any of “… Sonia B, Kerrie or Hinkson for the role of another ‘red’ Judas?[…] What about Thorne or even Rowe?” particularly !!!

   Are we back to a contrived oppo again … why are any of them suited to such a role compared to any others! … We are again in dangerous territory!

   @David, in as much as another 30-love was contemplated it is yet a dark day for Bim that in 2 election cycles the DLP could convince no one that not even one candidate was a viable opposition MP … this is very bad.

   The party with that dynamic man who mirrored our desires so well and who took us boldly to Independence is now a relic of abject nothingness… the starboy who took over EWB legacy but sold his party and nation for $3.3 million pieces of bronze … oh dear, oh dear.

   “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain [riches] but lose his own soul [and eventually suffer his party to such ignominious bashings]”

   2.But more importantly what now and where does this leave MAM … considering all the issues of dissension rumored she has completely sweep EVERYTHING from before her. All her chess pieces are as she wants them!

   I see it through very dark lens in this way: … consider if Trump, despite ALL the contraventions to the rule of law he authored had still won with no opposition at all then OMG we would be uneasy, restless and deeply concerned about a difficult future!!!

   We better be ready here similarly!

   Barbadians have chosen a one party government TWICE. No need for any contrived opposition.

   I wish the best for those of you who live in Barbados.

   “All Opposing parties should have put egos aside and pooled resources along with the best talent. ”

   I felt that the BLP should have faced a maximum of 30 candidates. What was needed was for some politicians to put their egos aside and form a grand coalition.

   Even united it would have been an uphill task, but a fragmented opposition was the worse choice.

   All the best

   Thank you for your approval. Our Supreme Leader has shown everyone who is no. 1. Once again.

   I will continue to be as neutral as possible in supporting our government with wise advice (such as lifting the quarantine on fully vaccinated tourists) and denouncing the unbelievable failures of the opposition.

   As it should be in a true democracy.

   We would only have a constitutional crisis if there were no possibility whatsoever of a constitutional solution. But there is one even without a formal opposition in Parliament, so all talk of a crisis is nonsense.

   Here is my advice: Our Supreme Leader should appoint a BLP MP without ministerial office as a so-called Trustee of the Opposition. The MP may continue to vote for the government but must read out a written submission from the extra-parliamentary, illegal opposition once a year for 5 minutes. The MP is also allowed to determine the seats of the so-called opposition in the Senate. That was it.

   By the way, the behaviour of the outspoken senator in the Senate was a huge scandal. The man was not elected by anyone. Yet he dared to vote against the anti-corruption bill, even on Republic Day he did not stop at intrigue. What a national disgrace.

   If so-called opposition members of the Senate continue to oppose the true will of the people, I would not be surprised if the people soon storm the Senate to impose the will of our people and their leader.

   Enough is enough.
