Congratulations to Prime Minister Mia Mottley for being recognized by TIMES Magazine as one of The 100 Influential People of 2022. Based on reports the rationale for recommending Mottley for the award was penned by  Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, director-general of the World Trade Organization.

The hope is that Mottley will be able to leverage her burgeoning global brand to improve regional and domestic economies. In recent times Barbadians have not had many high points to celebrate, the recognition of one of our own is a step in the right direction and should assist in bolstering bajan pride which took a hit in recent years.

    What can i say, find the rest of the article to see what is really COMING DOWN….somebody took off ALL THE GLOVES…and going toe to toe…i deserve a rest from all of this anyway…

    “Whilst we generally choose not to identify sitting government officials, to prevent them from resigning and transferring criminally-derived assets, we believe that the voters in Barbados have a right to know which of their elected representatives have targeted the very people they were elected or appointed to serve, so that they can govern themselves accordingly.

    The scale of the fraud is so massive that we will be devoting a number of articles to diagramming it, and explaining its operation, but we want to identify the players early on, so that our readers put a face to the professional misconduct, by those who applied their specialized knowledge of law and procedure to cheat ordinary Bajans out of their cherished patrimony.”

    ‘We reap what we sow.’ ‘The wages of sin is death.’

    I’ve read Court cases from the 1950s, during which accused persons were sentenced to hang after being found guilty of committing some very brutal murders.
    From a ritual killing of a baby for money to enable the murderer to travel to Canada; a bus driver who purposely struck and killed a truck driver with an omnibus, near Queen’s Park; a man killing his former girl friend after stabbing her several times at the junction of Passage and Westbury Roads; a man casually walking away with the cutlass in his hand, after ‘chopping up’ his girlfriend and leaving her body on the roadside; to another man who fatally stabbed his wife at their home in the Bay Land.
    Some shopkeepers were charged for dishonest practices, such as selling ‘unadulterated milk,’ or over pricied goods.
    Bus drivers were fined for speeding, being ‘off route,’ and conductors for overloading.

    Interestingly, those crimes occurred prior to November 30, 1966.
    Where were the ‘flag and broken trident’ during those times?
    Or, perhaps “the Creator in his interactions with brass bowls,” used other “symbols, idols and rituals?”

    And, SEVENTY-TWO (72) YEARS AFTER, in 2022, people CONTINUE to commit SIMILAR crimes.

    Remember Genesis 6:5:
    “And GOD saw (and continues to see) that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”

    Ecclesiastes 1:9:
    “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.”

    Yes, Dr. GP, I’m a ‘Bible illerate.’

    But, what is annoying is BU’s ‘resident alarmist,’ who never misses an opportunity to speak authoritatively, that Barbadians are ‘blind, ignorant, unaware, unknowledgeable and oblivious’ of the myriad of issues confronting the society…… and the world in general.
    That, somehow, we were not privy to gifts of perception and perfection that was bestowed upon him and those of his ilk.
    That because some of us may not agree with him that Mottley scarves is an attempt “to project an image of an empress,” means we’re ‘lacking active conscious knowledge or awareness.’

    Barbados”s newly minted top 100 influential leader is at the centre of a scam.

    She was so influential that she also ensnared the Belizean PM and the T&T prime minister as well.

    Apparently a scammer contacted her by Whatsapp purporting to be from the office of the UN secretary general offering poverty alleviation grants and demanding a deposit in a Chinese bank.

    Influential people should not be this gullible.

    Influence LIAT payout, Mottley urged
    By Randy Bennett
    Prime Minister Mia Mottley has been urged to use her influence to find a resolution for the scores of Barbadian former LIAT employees who have yet to receive severance more than two years after being laid off.
    The call came today from one of the distraught former workers, who, while speaking on popular radio call in programme Down to Brasstacks, said he and his colleagues were at their wits’ ends and in desperate need of help.
    He said Mottley, who was recently named as one of the 100 most influential people of 2022 by Times magazine, should be able to use her position to negotiate a deal for the former LIAT pilots and other staff members.
    The frustrated caller queried why the St Lucia government, which is not a shareholder of LIAT, had offered to pay out some of its workers and Barbados had not done the same.
    However, when asked to respond to the concerns raised by the former workers today, Mottley said she would prefer to first hear what issues were raised.
    The Prime Minister did indicate that she had been in discussions with Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda Gaston Browne on possibly finding a solution.
    “I haven’t heard the programme and you’re now talking to me about it in the middle of this exercise so the first thing I will do is just as I ask people to do and that is go out and measure and monitor. I need to know what they said and I need to see what the issues are.
    “I’ve been talking to Gaston [Browne] as well. Last week in Guyana we talked about how we can use LIAT in a more effective way as well for cargo. We have also recognized that there are outstanding issues and we’ve said to him that we need to meet. I don’t know what was said today so I don’t know how to respond other than that,” Mottley responded.
    More than 500 workers of LIAT (1974) Ltd were temporarily laid off on April 1, 2020, including around 55 from Barbados.
    To date, they have received no severance nor outstanding monies, which include vacation pay and retroactive pay owed to them by LIAT.
    It has been estimated that former Barbadian workers are owed in the region of $13 million EC dollars ($9.7 million) by LIAT.
    In May last year, Government provided a one-off gift of 2000 to just under 100 displaced Barbadian Liat workers.
    Additionally, the workers received an advance of $2,000 per month for a year to be paid back at a future date from any eventual severance settlement. randybennett@barbadostoday.bb

    Know your weaknesses and learn from them. To me, a story about corruption is like having blood in the water with a shark present. I started googling and it looks like the story has teeth.

    Caribbean leaders, the only numbers you need are my two UN numbers
    1-373-322-7448
    1-FRE-ECA-SH4U
    The call is free. All calls are answered/returned. If busy, leave your name, country and number at
    1-800-2274-482
    1-800-CASH-4U2
    Remember, you can speed up the transfer of money to you by just leaving your bank and routing number.
    Commercials are played during the call.We still have Covid-19 and you guessed it correctly “Monkey Pox” vaccines or le.
    Caribbean leaders are welcome.

    “Barbados”s newly minted top 100 influential leader is at the centre of a scam.”

    what can we say, apparently scams trigger instant interest, they instantly perk up and ready to roll….with the treasury or pension fund their illegal piggy bank..

    ….but they can’t remember anything about the Liat pilot’s/workers plight that they gave multiple interviews about..

    only pimps and fowls take them seriously, suck up to them and respect them, digest all their lies, sensible people have more integrity and self respect and will never sink to that gutter level…

    there is positive influence… and then there is negative influence…Time Magazine does really specify…they just dump all in the same pot and leave readers/the public to sort it out..

    we wait to hear the fallout from that one Pacha…

    I know you’ve been following this LIAT issue.

    In all fairness, what is there for Mottley “to influence,” especially under circumstances where the Barbadian former LIAT employees, having contributed to Antigua & Barbuda’s social security scheme……are owed severance payments by the government of Antigua & Barbuda?

    What the ‘government’ of Barbados did, was to pay them $2,000 per month, for one year, at the expense of Barbadian taxpayers, to be repaid when they receive payments from ANU.

    What is also missing from the ‘story,’ is that the St. Lucian government entered into an agreement with former St. Lucian LIAT non-management employees ONLY, who worked in St. Lucia, to pay them severance.

    Also remember, Antigua’s Gaston Browne administration took over operations of the airline, its assets and liabilities, and is therefore responsible for paying the severance.
    Additionally, some time during December 2021, some former ANU employees accepted a ‘compassionate payment’ of 50% of their total severance payments due, for which they were required to waive their rights to any future settlements.
    Browne reprtedly said the offer was not open to negotiations and the former employees could either ‘take it or leave it.’

    Apparently, those Barbadians who are now protesting, were among those persons who rejected the offer.
    I believe the reasoning behind the ‘protest’ is that they are entitled to full severance payments, which is true…… and since ANU offered them 50% only, which they rejected….. the Barbados government, as a shareholder of LIAT, should pay them.

    Lil Island big ideas fuh trute lol

    AH LOTTA HOT AIR!

    BARBADOS GOVERNMENT’S JAMMED COMMUNICATION MACHINERY IS PAID EXORBITANTLY HIGH SALARIES WITH VERY LITTLE TO SHOW.

    Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley first hired St. Kitts-born fugitive with Dominica heritage, Charles Jong to serve as Director of Communications, and along with his traveling and entertainment allowances he earns $17,500.00 per month, nearly the same amount as Government Minister. He is paid this large sum of money to spy on Barbadians by way of tapping mobile and landline devices aided by Former Commissioner of Police Darwin Dottin under the instruction of Political Strategist Hartley Henry. Jong has a diplomatic passport and receives immunity for any of his previous criminal offenses in other countries.

    Then, Senator Patricia Parris as Director of Public Affairs receives a combined $15,300.00 per month and leads a large and useless department of Mr. Tyson Henry (Deputy Director of Public Affairs), Miss Christal P. Austin (Senior Public Affairs Officer), Mr. Tyrone Dalton Lovell (Senior Public Affairs Officer) along with Miss Lisa Lorde (Public Affairs Officer) whose monthly salaries amount to $97,000 per month.

    Mr. Roy Morris who struggled from the inception of his role as Press Secretary has now been shifted into the manufactured post of Director of Citizens Engagement & Media Relations to earn a salary of $13,735.00 per month. His replacement Alex Downes will now collect a monthly salary of $8,240.00 per month as the newly appointed Press Secretary.

    An overwhelming outcry of deception and a great sense of betrayal on the part of the people was the response to Mr. David Ellis’ appointment as COVID-19 Public Advisor. It was seen as an attempt to muzzle his dissenting voice against the Government of Barbados and the scores of discrepancies in the execution of their mandate. Barbadians are well aware that Ellis receives $10,150.00 per month at the cost of his silence.

    Meanwhile, the role of the Chief Information Officer has been diminished but the earnings of Sharon Lynch have not changed from $12,320.00 per month to a sum of $234,000.00 in salaries per month for the now underutilized staff of the Government Information Services (GIS).

    This amounts to over $380,625.00 in salaries per month for individuals to work in the area of communications.

    Lest we forget the CBC TV and radio whose main job is Government PR 24/7; the ever-present privately paid cameramen Ricky Redman, Chris Cooke-Johnson; Stephanie Chase, a Government teacher; Roshanna Trim the social media slave whose Senate hopes never came to fruition; and others on government’s payroll who receive unknown sums of money as part of the propaganda machinery.
    The interviews with overseas news agencies are sought out and booked by these people and the publicity surrounding all international engagements is manufactured by them.
    All former leaders attended the same forums but she has carefully strategized to make sure hers secure maximum publicity.
    This is a Government of Public Relations. Absolutely nothing is being done in this country besides PR and hot air.
    Oh, I forgot to mention Virgo Communications which is owned by Stephanie Von Oppen, the girlfriend of the Prime Minister’s brother Stewart Mottley and their multi-million dollar slogan “Little Island, Big Barbados”.

    “PM Briceno has been quoted in the local media as saying that he got the link from Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley, who – after all – was just voted Time Magazine’s most influential person.

    So, what’s behind it all, and what’s the level of exposure of Belize’s and other CARICOM leaders? We asked Prime Minister Briceno at his office 90 minutes ago:

    Hon. John Briceno, Prime Minister
    “Simply what happened is that Prime Minister Mottley called me on Friday and she said you’re going to get a message from the secretary general on the UN that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation have said that they want to assist 3 countries that they are setting aside 15 million dollars to help – 3 of the countries that have been hit hardest by Covid and as chairman of CARICOM that they are going to contact me. I was contacted using the secretary general Guiterrez WhatsApp and the message said lets do WhatsApp, because its encrypted. I contacted the secretary general and I contacted a few other people and then it was agreed that St. Lucia, Bahamas and Trinidad and Tobago were the 3 countries that were going to. They ask for numbers, we provided them the numbers. It is only when they contacted the prime minister of Trinidad and Tobago and then he became suspicious immediately.”

    Perhaps you and Artax can assist Bushie in understanding what is ‘unreasonable’ for longstanding Bajan employees, who joined a BARBADIAN run airline operation, and who committed their entire working careers to building that organization, to be pissed off that they could now be sold out by the Barbados government.
    Did our government not WASH ITS HANDS and abandon its responsibilities by dumping its shares?
    Did the shiite politicians not appoint their lackie friends into positions they were clearly INCAPABLE of performing successfully?
    Did Mia not play politics by putting Arthur in charge…and then deliberately FAILING LIAT – for personal spite?

    The problem with wunna ‘economists’ (whatever the Hell those are) is that wunna think that numbers are the bottom line.
    This whole shiite place is run by hidden agendas, bribe-influence, and back-patting…. and then we try to explain it away with shiite numbers.

    It is VERY EASY for Bushie to empathize with these workers… and with the thousands of others in SIMILAR circumstances – like those at
    Collins
    Simpson Motors
    SOL
    BL&P
    …and ALL those others, who thought that they were committing their LIVES and talents to Building Barbados, only to be sold out to HEARTLESS STRANGERS who are just a pack of international mercenary predators…. and BETRAYED by a series of bribe-taking, low-minded, incompetent political pimps, who are happy to collect their ‘commissions’ on the misery dished out to hardworking citizens who mostly VOTED FOR THEM.

    Bushie STILL cant believe that you and Artax could support such jobby…..

    Our very point. To you this is minor ‘error in judgement’ to be avoided.

    But within the space where this writer has operated, and she is alleged to be, it is a murder case.

    What you don’t understand and never will, especially about metrics of soft power sources of power, it’s very costly to be so tainted.

    Under American law, for example, Mottley will could be deemed to be a party to a conspiracy and could be charged under the RICO criminal laws.

    As easy as that! That has never been an environment for the foolhardy

    And the implications of such a stain against Mottley may have national security consequences for Barbados.

    The issue is BIGGER than the LEGAL matter of who is to pay severance.

    Those Bajans joined a BAJAN-RUN operation.
    The workers did NOT choose to hand it to Gaston.

    When the new owners choose to put the grigg in the Collins; 40-year-service slaves, will you also say that the local ‘sell-outs’ have no responsibility?

    is this some kind of game?

    And when Kerrie put her there as chairman was he aware of the concerns about her impartiality?
    Also, how does this impact recent decisions related to BL&P?
    are these not now tainted….perhaps along with the whole shiite FTC Board and minister?

    Of course. You’re quite right! This is no small matter. For a woman at the perceived height of her power to be so easily ensnared, in the eyes of many, by the types of scams we see daily is childish, ignorant, represents evidence of personality.

    If she ever gets on the wrong side of the devilish Americans, her friend Donville maybe having some company.

    But it is David who would rush to deify her within the same moment such is happening but perceives no contradictions.

    It’s amazing how those who are terribly disappointed with this government are allowing their obvious embarrassment to show.
    They can no longer kill the messengers so they have now retreated.
    Funny, how things go……………
    They were warned time and time again that the Duopoly cares only for itself. It’s six of one and half dozen of the next.
    Seen this movie at least a million times.
    Carrington one day; Abrahams the next.
    Who the cap fit……………

    What duopoly?

    There is only one political party the electorate seems prepared to vote for.
