Donville Inniss Victim or Criminal?

Former Minister Donville Inniss

The blogmaster couldn’t avoid the noise generated in the local newsfeed covering the return of former member of parliament Donville Inniss. Inniss was incarcerated in the United States for breaking money laundering laws and suffered the embarrassment of being deported last weekend.

Inniss served his time and is free to continue with his endeavours in idyllic Barbados, UNLESS, local authorities intend to prosecute a matter that originated in Barbados. There is a good chance local authorities will allow the Inniss matter to die in the spirit of a few protecting the many which is the mantra of the political directorate.

The blogmaster will not judge the Don except to say many are not as convinced of his innocence as he is.. It would be in the interest of local authorities to give Donville his day in a local court so that he can expose the lies of the ‘pale face people and house niggas’ he referred to in his home coming media orchestrating. 

Barbadians should keep in memory that another local, Alex Tasker has an extradition matter pending – if successful – has the potential to shed additional light on the matter as it relates to how local actors assisted in the crime Inniss was convicted in the USA. The fight against extradition by Alex Tasker a former local employee of ICBL and Ingrid Innes former CEO domiciled in Canada have the potential to keep Inniss in the unfavourable glare of the public for some time. 

Commonsense suggests the political ambition of Donville Inniss has been extinguished. However, the blogmaster joins with concerned Barbadians to fuss against the inability of the political establishment to materially commit to rooting white collar corruption. Do not bother to refer to Barbados’s standing on the Transparency Index, a measure based on a perception shaped by players who are mainly responsible for the current state of affair.

On a related note the blogmaster read about the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) meeting advertised, a joint zonal meeting today (26 March 2023) with former candidates Michael Lashley, David Estwick and Neil Marshall promoted to speak. Sometimes so much more can be conveyed by simply making and observation without commenting.

In God we trust!

    Oh really re: “In one pre trail motion, the request to say that ‘bribes were a custom or practice in Barbados’ was denied.”

    1.That’s important simply bcz US corps are NOT SUPPOSED to engage in any bribe situation … and every business person in their borders HAVE to know the regs of the ‘Foreign Corrupt Practices Act’ … however, bribes of ALL types are still as systematic in US business as anywhere else.

    (Recall the big case of Walmart and their ‘bribes’ paid for some real estate approvals in Mexico many years back … they denied it big time … yet of course execs were terminated, some reassigned and they paid hefty fines — while not admitting a thing. Just one measly example. Business all over is a cesspool of ‘various forms and types of patronage’.

    So I share the sorrow that star boy Donville got his wings clipped for this ‘measly’ and customary practice in Barbados. … But only a measly sorrow, tho!😎

    So 2. One can only hope that enterprising NEW prospective MPs of all stripes (who have not yet been bribed🤣😎) repeat that line heavily in upcoming elections against the bribe-dirty incumbents.

    Who knows it may catch the attention of enough Bajan…😒

    Breaking news
    You heard it here first
    The sentencing of Normal Leroy Lynch has been deemed a National Security matter and the information will not be released,

    A high official in the judicial system was heard to say “Sentencing this lawyer could disrupt the entire judicial system as other victims of lawyers may be tempted to rush to court. This would affect one of the funding streams for lawyers and as such cannot be tolerated. Information on sentencing will be released when the National interest is not threatened.

    “❗️Nashville Trans Shooter’s Chilling Plan Detailed

    Authorities have revealed the extreme detail of the Nashville school shooter’s plan to carry out the murderous spree that claimed three children’s lives and three adult staff members.

    A police raid of the home of Aiden (formerly Audrey) Elizabeth Hale – a former pupil at The Covenant School who had transitioned from female to male – found a manifesto, map, and writings detailing the precise time and date, as well as a sawn-off shotgun, another shotgun, and other evidence.

    Footage released online shows Hale calmly shooting through the front doors and prowling the corridors for victims, armed with two “assault-style rifles” and powerful ammunition before cops arrived and shot the suspect dead 14 minutes after being alerted.”

    On Friday, Ziggy, who is the eldest son of Bob Marley, shared a poster for the petition titled Protect Beach Access for all Jamaicans & keep Bob Marley Beach Public, which calls for “the protection of public access to Jamaican beaches, including the declaration of general and unfettered rights to the entire beach and river ecosystems, to be constitutionally enshrined as pillars of the country’s ecological heritage”.

    The petition notes that the JABEM is “alarmed by recent events at the Bob Marley Beach in Bull Bay, St. Thomas, a favourite spiritual retreat of the late Bob Marley, where the Jamaican public came under imminent threat of losing access to yet another community beach, along with the destruction of fisherfolk livelihood and land dispossession of prominent Rastafari family members”.

    Why would these mass shooters target little defenseless children?

    Perhaps because children are so special to Jesus.

    Matthew 18
    King James Version

    18 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

    2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

    3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

    4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

    5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

    6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

    If it is indeed that the mass shooters go after children to harm them because of their special place with Jesus, then we are looking at demon possession plain and simple.

    @ John,

    The ICIJ list of entities registered in Barbados should concern all decent Bajans. How long can Barbados tolerate a business model which artificially inflates the prices of domestic homes. How can Barbadians compete with an individual whose sole interest is to launder their dirty money whilst minimising their taxes.

    Take a look at the West Coast, an area which blocks off virtually all sea windows. The South Coat is meandering down the same pathway. I heard that there is now a push to “develop” the East coast. Money laundering is the steroid behind this growth development.

    The country has a cadre of lawyers who facilitate and enable this model to thrive. They are blinded to the negative outcomes of their lust for this type of development. It has destroyed our natural environment, blocked off rights-of-way to Barbadians, reduced the stock of affordable homes, threatened our water supply, etc.

    As alluded by Waru, these cadre of lawyers have become distracted. The country is broken.

    “Money laundering is the steroid behind this growth development.”

    Crime and corruption only as a staple. Growth and development to benefit crooks only, so they can carry on their false boasting about how wealthy they and the island are but not the people…an old scam…raid the vat, treasury and pension fund, build a bunch of sick buildings that no one can work in, and call themselves tycoons and magnets from ripping off the proceeds..wash, rinse repeat..everyone gets wealthy, everyone except the people.

    .it’s a well established tiny land of fraudsters, pretenders, wannabes…common class thieves.

    “The country has a cadre of lawyers who facilitate and enable this model to thrive.”

    And everyone knows who they are, one name connected to UK was ringing out on a clip recently. Shame and disgrace…but they dont think so, they believe they arrived…with their uppity and fraudulent colonial titles…empty vessels….tiefing vassals.

    You are correct.

    A few years ago, Sandy Lane advertised for an Engineer, and one of the qualifying requirements was the prospective candidate must speak Spanish fluently.

    Months prior to the vacancy advertisement, a Puerto Rican was already ‘on the job.’

    Recently, Sandy Lane advertised for an ‘Executive Housekeeper.’

    I’m sure you can complete the ‘rest of the story.’

    How work permits are ‘arranged’ in Barbados is well known and has been for many years straddling administrations. There is no robust supervision of making sure locals are trained while the expatriate is in the job to make a request for a work permit after a reasonable time redundant. As a comparison it does not happen in Singapore. This is what building a meritocracy means.

    TLSN; Given your earlier post, one wonders how reflective your mirror is, or like a kid in a candy store you have just discovered ICIJ.
    “In the U.K. alone, the Pandora Papers reveal the beneficial owners of an estimated $5 billion of property, much of it in London, where more than 36,000 properties are owned through offshore companies.”
    xxxxxxx
    One of the primary reasons several properties in Barbados are owned as the SOLE asset of a company in a zero or low tax location is to avoid the local lawyers, and the hefty property transfer fees.
    You can use other lawyers, and since no sale of property has occured, rather a sale of shares in a company giving the rights to occupy the sole asset, none of the property transfer taxes and duties are applicable.
    I am yet to hear anybody say the real estate process in Barbados was smooth, simple and reasonable.

    This paragraph was found in BT, on their interview with Dr.Greenidge
    “The governor, who has been on the job for 28 days, said his initial meetings with the banks also dealt with the need to increase the level and intensity of financial intermediation, which is being able to channel more of the savings in the banking system into productive investment.”
    Appreciate there is voluntary financial intermediation and there is compulsory financial intermediation.
    In Bajan parlance it is “how de ram bam can we get the $$ in savings accounts to replace the need for borrowed $$” Another form of “homegrown financing”?

    If corruption is all over, and Westminster exist in parts of “all over” would it not be susceptable to corruption? And simply because it is pervasive,we should accept it, and or only talk about it,to extract political benefit as the Bee’s including David, are doing? I subcribe to the thinking that no matter how deep, how pervasive or how tall the task, we must get busy fighting corruption at the poltical level,and at the governance level, to set the stage for a transformation of how the rest of the society conducts if self.
    The mere fact that at the core of how a Prime Minister wins and keep their perch among his\her equals, is by patronage\corruption, that sets the stage,on down and all through the land for, corruptable practices to become a national passtime.

    Today’s Nation Editorial

    Other ways to serve
    FORMER PARLIAMENTARIAN AND CABINET MINISTER Donville Inniss must be feeling good to be back in Barbados after serving jail time in the United States.
    Inniss is his assertive self, not dodging or avoiding the glare of publicity. While he may feel aggrieved by his two-year term after being sentenced in 2021 for conspiracy to commit money laundering and two counts of money laundering, he should be touched by the outpouring of public support on his return.
    His first public comments on returning home can easily be described as a joyful noise for elated supporters, friends and the Democratic Labour Party (DLP) members present.
    He has had some days to settle in and to pay close attention to the comments in this newspaper, Starcom’s Down To Brasstacks call-in programme and on the social media platforms. The phone calls and people whom he has been meeting while out and about should give him a gauge of the temperature.
    As an astute politician, the former high-ranking member of the DLP should appreciate that in this
    moderately conservative country, while some people may be happy he is out of jail, some may not accept him holding any political office again.
    This is why perhaps he should consider looking at the other areas and ways he can serve his homeland and the people whom he wants to help outside of the political fray. Neither he nor his band of vocal supporters should think that service is limited to politics and more so those in the seat of office.
    There are certain realities Inniss must accept including the herculean task of getting his conviction overturned; the impact on the DLP Dems if he tries to get on the frontline again; and the need to protect both himself and his family in our small harsh socio-economic environment.
    He should look at the challenges the late Owen Arthur encountered despite his outstanding record of public service that was not besmirched. He was an outstanding prime minister and political leader.
    Inniss must therefore make the right moves to afford him a second chance to contribute in a meaningful way to this society. There are many young people, the less fortunate and those simply in need of guidance to navigate the maze of bureaucracy to get things done. He has
    the skills, experience and temperament to lead in these areas.
    This should also be a time for the former member of Parliament for further introspection, which no doubt he would have done during his reduced sentence.

    “Donville Inniss Victim or Criminal?”
    Like the above Question, there are many more questions related to the Donville Saga which should be put out to the universe and wait for the best intuitively correct answer to come back

    Regarding if he is victim or criminal one answer is he is both a criminal and a victim based on views that he was judged harsh by Americans when he thought his crime was in a different jurisdiction which has more everyday corrupt standards in it’s culture

    Questions to put out and ponder are
    Bias of Media and Blogs
    Honesty and Integrity of Political Players
    Greed, Stealing Money, Shortchanging people by Government and Business
    Denying, Lying and Spin in Politics
    Self serving politicians
    Lack of Politicians willing to help most vulnerable and poorest

    This is an administration that measures once and cuts twice. I seem to recall that ‘version2’ (the AG) rushed out with a couple of new laws or changes to laws and then had to rush back to take them back to the workshop to fix them.

    It is remarkable that long time residents could see the problems that would develop, but the mulit-degree technocrats in the ministry with their arrogance and in ignorance would not listen. Book sense is not common sense.
    They acted heavy handed and then had to make a glorious retreat. Summary of the old talk “We F-up. We will revert back to the old way”

    If we are not careful, the next big boondoggle will be the constitution. A matter as complicated with that one may take three of four amendments. I suspect that “version2” is hoping he is out of office before the committee gets back to him.

    What has you focusing on cement production? You know 70% comes from south Asia, with China and lesserly India being the largest producers.

    I was wondering how much of the $500 million for the 10,000 new houses would be spent on importing cement …. and from where?
