The news dropped last week there is a plan afoot to charge $60.00 for the controversial national ID card after 30 June 2023. This revelation was made by the Chief Electoral Officer Angela Taylor. The Barbados Today press report is date stamped 6 June 2023, to date the blogmaster has NOT picked up on a single clarification statement from the Chief Electoral Officer or Davidson Ishmael who is the minister responsible. Barbadians have to assume the $60 charge has received the blessings of the Mottley led Cabinet.
The blogmaster suspects the ‘thought process’ behind the $60 charge is intended to light a fire under citizens who have been slow to apply for the new ID for whatever reason. Under normal conditions one would have no serious issue with the fee but the Trident National ID project has been and continues to be fraught with problems. There have been operational issues, procurement issues, poor communications, inefficient distribution to identify some. All the issues have led to growing distrust by citizens about the ID card, made worse in a COVID 19 era.
The country needs a 21st century working ID card. The fact the ID card must utilize the best technology available is a no-brainer. Further, that it must be integrated into a national strategy to drive efficiency how we do business to help with productivity, an imperative. However, what the ID project confirms is a public service that is bedevilled with poor skillsets to expertly implement projects.
Some aspects of the project must be refreshed especially relating to the pieces requiring public engagement. Come on, we can do better.
On the subject of the Electoral Office it raises the question – if the department is showing itself to be ineffective with the rollout of the ID project, what does it say about that department’s capacity to manage our electoral affairs?
Our attention has been drawn to a short speech given by Comissiong to a UN panel relating to Afrikan descended peoples.
Maybe the problems with this national ID card relate to a spiritual mismatch between the personality assumed and that we should be.
Such cultural confusion is foundational. For one, we have peoples in this region with hundreds of thousands of years of evolutionary history, largely coming from somewhere else, however still seeking identification within an imperial context, while Commissiong, as ambassador to Caricom, could be professing Pan-Afrikanism, even as his PM is currently in Jamaica ploting to usurp the Haití people’s revolutionary projects, like she did in Guyana, as a factorum of the most evil empire known to man.
What a contradiction in ID!
Start wrong with fake pan africanism..to deter and upstage REAL PANAFRIKANISTS ……end wrong with fake panafricanism….cant catchup now when impostors and pretenders have no clue and never will…
Real Afrikans know to keep really far from them…

@ David
Let us be reasonable….
In the current scheme of things in Barbados, PLEASE tell Bushie how the rollout of these high-tech ID cards suddenly gets to be at the top of our to-do list?
Bushie has had one of the old laminated shiite cards now for nearly a century (it feels like), and is YET to encounter a single problem in using it to meet the basic bushy needs.
One would have thought that a SIMPLE process where ALL new issues of replacement cards would be by the new format would be implemented – along with opportunity for anyone WANTING the ‘new fangle’ card being able to get theirs changed.
UNLESS OF COURSE this whole experiment is being IMPOSED on our donkeys as a research project by sinister forces who are planning such a roll out globally….??? guinea pig styleee…
…much like the ‘gift’ of Covid-19 vaccines so generously donated to us by a certain country BEFORE their own people were exposed….
Barbados presents itself as an IDEAL laboratory for social control experimentation. If we understand this ‘strength’, then we may also understand the sudden inclination for certain international agencies to ‘lend’ us money to our heart’s content…. after our period of downgrades..
It was one thing to be enslaved vi et armis and brought to the Caribbean as slaves…. But to DELIBERATELY sell ourselves to the descendants of those SAME slave traders, for shiite dollars that they can print ‘willy nilly’ … has to be the lowest possible form of self-degradation that is possible.
There must therefore be a state of being LOWER than ‘brass bowl’……
@Bush Tea
Two issues for consideration.
1. The old laminated cards can be easily tampered with. If you accept this to be the case then also agree it compromises proof of identity.
2. If the government plans to use the technology to support delivery of services across government departments and potentially pursue transactions outside of the traditional financial network. Why not?
The problem here is efficient implementation of the project.
@ David
If bushie was not aware that you were being deliberately obtrusive, he would invoke Artax’s wishes for a good day… LOL
Boss, there is nothing EASIER to tamper with than complex data management systems whose data is stored in some shiite database ‘lord knows where’.
Then there are remote readers that can access your card from inside your wallet, and even from the damn cloud – without your knowing it… making your basic data available to tricksters…
Bushie’s laminated card is only accessed if presented by the bushman – or if you are able to ‘tek it way’ by force of arms.
Secondly, the VERY LAST thing that any sensible citizen should want, is for Government to have full access to all your personal business. Before you can blink twice, the politicians that we have, will take away every shiite from every brass bowl, and hand it over to Maloney and Bizzy….
It is like sheep arguing in favor of more a efficient and effective slaughterhouses.
The madness that precedes destruction is indeed amazing.
There goes a reticular activating system!
“For one, we have peoples in this region with hundreds of thousands of years of evolutionary history, largely coming from”
Was recently introduced to a book of ancient knowledge from a Kemetic Priest. Turns out the Dogon of Mali trace their origins to Kemet. The Swahili Bantu language has many…too many to ignore mdw ntr naunces and aspects to not draw parallels, extremely ancient tribes that cannot be ignored and such bloodlines will never bend, bow or break to colonial negros in any form or fashion, a step down, disrespect and insult to our ancient bloodlines. In such a case it is futile for interlopers to attempt to swallow a whole continent…they will always choke.
Waru
Think you have it in reverse. Indeed, Kemet was the height of civilization, however it was fully informed by the Twa-anu, scores of Bantu speaking language groups, the Dogons, etc
Also, we shoudnt be locked into the the nonsense of the world being 6000 years old. The Spinx, for example, is up to 30,000 years old.
“Indeed, Kemet was the height of civilization, however it was fully informed by the Twa-anu, scores of Bantu speaking language groups, the Dogons, etc”
As told by the scholar from the Kongo who posted to Kush Quarterly, last issue, those classical languages, etc indeed all started in the interior, Central Afrika etc…those tribes Twa. seemingly moved back and forth. Twa were definitely represented in Kemet also. Until they threw open the continent. The ancient text specifically mentions the interior. The colonial frauds, placeholders, vote beggars, have no clue what they are dealing with and need to step back.
Not tribes. Nations! The word ‘tribes’ has racist connotations. We never hear it used in relationship to White people.
Today, 11th June 2023, is a marked day. A day which might signal that this ID embrollo will be irrelevant, as irrelevant as is the incredibility of the Bible.
As 250 NATO military jets are pre-positioned at the bases of European satraps around Russia and as Ukraine’s military counter offensive fails, day after day, for 7 days straight.
In addition, the waters around Ukraine await the entry of NATO ships.
We had argued that White people will destroy all of Pachamama before they surrender power to non-Whites. This has been our point of departure and direction of travel.
Now we state with utmost certainty that if NATO military assets enter the war zones – land, air or sea, that Russia will respond with a force unseen so far.
It’s written military doctrine makes this a requirement, in Russian Federation law.
And this will mean we’re in a WW3 scenario. Circumstances which shall see the use of nuclear weapons on a massive scale.
At its center is racism. Racism, White supremacy, American exceptionalism, fascism masquerading as democracy, aided by wokeism et al, would have been the main causal reason for the massive use of nuclear weapons, by everybody, all nuclear weapon states.
This day, the nuclear clock moves to a few seconds to midnight.
Dont want to put too much info on here, people need to do their own research but the Heru Emakhety just like the Mer Khut is Afrikan built and predates all the current squatters and occupiers. As you know there is irrefutable proof.

“We never hear it used in relationship to White people”
I have seen it used during the times of roman savagery, when they were extincting each other for supremacy, there were many, many different tribes back then, but used conservatively.
Why is it necessary to present a birth certificate and other supporting documents in order to issued (reissued) with the new Mark of the Beast card? The same with reissue of a passport? Is there a suggestion that there are so many forged cards in the wild that constant recertification is necessary? Does government not trust their own verifications methods?
Apple, Microsoft, Bank of America, The Pentagon, CIBC, RBC etc with their myriad of security protocols have been hacked time and again. What makes us believe that the Government of Barbados has the magical key to online security that will protect our information?
Charging $60 in order to force citizens to dance to their tune suggest that as other situations present themselves, we the people will have less and less say in the strong arm tactics employed in this instance.
Pacha…permission to use a comment you made last week, fits perfectly in Kush Quarterly’s upcoming Editorial.
Of course!
Utter jokers!!! This project was filled with problems from the beginning……. as a Senior Citizen, I tried to use the Online method to register for my new card. “Sorry…… system ain’t working”!!!! You have to find your way to Warrens ,,,, which requires a cost!!!
Now the threat of $60 to get the card by the end of the month! Go to Warrens and stand in a long line old folks!!!
Come on, Mia….. step-in (again) and sort this stupidness out!!!

Yo momma is so stupid she climbed over a glass wall to see what was on the other side.
There are 3000 African tribes so your list is well light
Tribes are families
(including clans and lineages)
(or groups of communities)
Israel is a tribal family and not a place
Slaves were from many tribes and were mixed up to cause confusion
Divide and Rule was used by Brits to cause division
People can use driving licenses and passports as valid ID
Their data is stored on Government databases
So Photo IDs are not required for other purposes
I & God are One
God alone exists
What does this mean?
It means..
Knowledge alone exists
Power alone exists
Eternal peace and bliss alone exists
This is ultimate truth
ultimately we will realise
we are liberated from all ignorance
Let us all together join
celebration of oneness
with consciousness
According to the Cosmic plan
Present is better than the past
Future will be better that present
We have to do better and better
We have to flow according to this Cosmic plan
Bring unity in the home
unity in the society
unity in the nation
Never try to practice division
on the basis of caste
on the basis of sectarian religion
on the basis of nationality
Whole cosmos is one home
undivided
let us believe
all persons living on this earth
they belong to one family

Pacha..it was becoming clear to me that even though the Bantu were indigenous to the Bight of Benin area (now Nigeria) for possibly thousands of years, before that massive millennia migration southward….they came ftom further afield….am sure the classical languages played a part in identifying original origin as Southern Sudan…ancient Kemet.
The public nuisances from Barbados and the Caribbean ought to stay very far away from this very powerful Nation. Not just a Tribe but whole nation with a well defined history of not liking intruders, impostors and pretenders and stay in their lanes…or not….keep pushing to find out.
A bridge too far …
I fully support the same rightsfor homosexuals and heterosexuals.
Equal dignity and equal rights for all.
However, the conversation on gender identification and LBTQ+ matters has thrown me for a loop. I lack the fluidity of thinking to easily move an individual from one sex to the next.
As someone who is interested in sports, it bothers me to see trans women entering and dominating female sports. Note that the reverse trans males dominating male sports, which says something about the biological differences between the sexes.
On or about May 30 there was a headline that was something like this “The most beautiful woman in Nevada is a male”. This is difficult concept to process
Is it wrong? Is it right? I don’t know. I find it difficult to process I still stand with ‘Equal dignity and equal rights for all’, but some bridges are too far for me to just jump across.
What is there to understand about transgender community except that it is something that happens with some other people.
I had a Welsh work friend called Keith who used to be a real geezer guy who drank with a group of us. I went to his wedding and he later had a daughter. Later it turned out that he changed his name to something like Jessica and then went through conversion therapy to become a woman. His relationship with his daughter changed and they discussed makeup together. When he became a she another group organised a drink with him/her, but I declined to go.
I once went with my family to a tourist attraction called Bugis Street in Singapore which was a gathering place for members of the male-to-female transgender community. Their presence attracted locals and tourists. My Dad’s friend who took us was a plastic surgeon and was a local hero / demigod. At that time, Singapore was said to have the most beautiful transsexual women in the world.
If you want to understand Queer people you should research them.

“No results for the name you listed….new entity?”
Have no clue. Brought to my attention earlier today. Complete with huge billboard.
It is quite amazing that a government that just spent $28 million on a set of shiite steel houses which have now been left to rot in St Philip – AFTER BEING WARNED BEFOREHAND THAT THIS WAS A BAD PLAN…
…and from which there has been no explanation, response, apology or even comment….
…a government that so publicly dispossessed a citizen business person of their business and handed the property over to their known radical political financier….
Can now so blatantly and clandestinely be handing half of St Lucy over to a bunch of unknown foreign strangers for some shiite dental school… Is this Duguid’s alma mater?
….cause it sounds just as underhanded as ‘East West Housing Solutions’ did.
What a damned place!!!
@Bush Tea
It is called investment!
How do you propose the country generate economic activity to help fund SUVs for citizens like you?
Politics is about information and misinformation.
The King of misinformation is up for arraignment.
“just spent $28 million on a set of shiite steel houses which have now been left to rot in St Philip – AFTER BEING WARNED BEFOREHAND THAT THIS WAS A BAD PLAN…”
Wait you mean those metal barns the fowls swore were the best ever housing solutions…
Man Bushman, ya pulling my leg…that is what it boiled down to, well said fowls and pimps must be the only ones surprised.

Here is some random s4it
The First Self-Proclaimed Drag Queen Was a Formerly Enslaved Man
In the late 1880s, a formerly enslaved man named William Dorsey Swann started hosting private balls known as drags, a name possibly derived from “grand rag,” an antiquated term for masquerade balls. Held in secret in Washington, D.C., these parties soon caught authorities’ attention.
As the Washington Critic reported in January 1887, police officers who raided one such gathering were surprised to encounter six Black men “dressed in elegant female attire,” including “corsets, bustles, long hose and slippers.”
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-first-self-proclaimed-drag-queen-was-a-formerly-enslaved-man-180982311/
Allow me to make a mountain out of a molehill …
History such as that given above should be questioned challenged and further researched. The author gave himself an escape clause by using the term ” first self-proclaimed”, but the insinuations that it all started with black men cannot be escaped.
The story also mentions cross-dressing in Britain in 1871 and there is no reason to believe (1) that cross-dressing had not started prior to that year (1871) and had not made its way to the United States. Who would it be practiced by at that time?
To introduce the phrase “drag-queen’ is to omit an essential part of the telling of cross dressing in the USA.
In addition, the feminization of black men began before 1883. Though not drag queens ‘buck breaking’ was used to emasculate black slaves who gave any sign of resistance.
It is no stretch of imagination to believe that this group of ‘actors’ were catering to some rich folks. The audience would most likely be NOT poor former slaves.
Claims of being ‘first’ on some matters need to be examined with great care. Funny, how for ‘these matters’, some find a way to pin the label ‘first’ on blacks.
Let’s broaden the discussion and do our research to provid a historically accurate piece.
Peace
Soon exiting my cave
The devil is in the details.
It would be useful if there was a score card visible to all of Barbados and tracking
(A) Total number of houses from China
(B) Cumulative number of houses delivered to needy Barbadians
(C) Total out of pocket expenses to get possession of a house.
Who gets a house should not be a state secret. Having this information would eliminate/reduce the disappearance of these houses.
U know dat at de end of duh exercise yuh gun hear sumbody say ‘dey miscount de houses’

The problem with news agendas is it is only outgoing outformation with no feedback or criticism possible and they think they are slick and real good at lying when they are not
But I guess posting on the net in the beginning around 20 years ago felt like getting your name and opinion published in the news
before that there was hip hop
“Though not drag queens ‘buck breaking’ was used to emasculate black slaves who gave any sign of resistance.”
This truth has been purged from the net by the white — — — — I don’t know what to call them.
but black men are still emasculated as white — — — — I don’t know what to call them fell threatened by black males and hire black women instead to meet quotas. The income gap holds them back as money = power = choices = opportunities = desiribilty etc in the fucked up world we live in. This ain’t living.
Look wht we do for them
Look at the thanks we get
Was watching the Gov’t owned propaganda arm last night (aka CBC) when I heard the AG announcing that the proposed $60.00 charge for new ID cards was in fact the cost for replacement cards. In making that statement he was throwing Chief Electoral Officer under the proverbial bus. How on earth does he expect us to believe that a supposedly competent civil servant is so inarticulate as to screw up a simple announcement about the cost of a replacement ID card versus the waived charge for a new card. I guess 30 love means being able to fool some of the people all the time.
A couple of months ago when I saw that my card was going to be ready a few days after to my departure, I asked the clerk whether I could receive the card any earlier, she said yes but it would cost me $100.00.
So there
after my planned departure……
Sometimes we have to take a few steps backward and ask uncomfortable questions or make harsh statements.
When we see the many missteps and misstatements, then we have to wonder if different issues/scenarios were discussed at the planning stages or are we just making it up as we go along.
Do we have the required expertise or is it just a case of what monkey see, monkey will try to do? Our government has bent over backwards not to listen to or to seek help from a Barbadian who is an expert in this area. Our arrogance is only exceeded by our ignorance.
Our AG is a walking disaster.
So far, he has not done a thing right in the first, second or third try. We get a draft, then a revised draft, then silence. Measure twice and cut a thousand times seem to be his modus operandi. He has to stop biting off more than he can chew.
My advice to him: draw your check, keep silent and don’t touch or say anything.
My advice to you: Keep your eyes glued to this Nation ID project (fiasco). I expect to see a few reversals or controversies before we reach the end of the road.
And watch out for the apologists…. here they come

Sometimes it is difficult to understand the reasoning of the Caribbean man.
Last night was a big soccer night in the USA. Having soundly defeated Mexico, the US was playing in the finals against Canadian upstarts.
Side note: We put them in their place(2-0) and on a plane to Canada
But would you believe that on a night when the US national team was engaged, Barbadians and Hondurans wanted to put in a friendly in the US. That match was cancelled.
Disrespectful, bad timing and overpriced tickets from two LOWER TIER teams.

as per book Revelation..
Biblical numerology
Six
The number of the beast is 666 which represents its evil and having fallen short of the divinely perfect number of seven
Seven.
Can be used to signify “perfection” or “completeness”
including in reference to the seven churches, seven bowls, seven seals, seven trumpets, seven thunders, Seven Spirits of God, seven stars, seven lampstands, seven eyes and horns of the Lamb of God, seven heads and diadems of the dragon, and seven heads of the beast in the Book of Revelation.
Ten
The red dragon and the beast from the sea each have ten horns, signifying their claim to total power.
