Rebellion to Tyrant is Obedience to God (Jehovah)

“Rebellion to tyrant is obedience to God.” This quotation is very true. This serious and profound statement was coined by Benjamin Franklyn in 1776, and was to be the motto on the seal of the United States of America the greatest democracy that exists today. However this quote was later used by Thomas Jefferson on his personal seal.

“Rebellion to tyrant is obedient to God” can the truth in this statement be proven. Let us look to the bible, to see if this statement can be proven.

• In the book of Genesis, the tyrannical King of Egypt: Pharaoh, enslaved the Israelites and subjected them to much inhumane treatment. It was as a result of Moses obedience to Jehovah and his love for his people that caused Moses to lead a rebellion against Pharaoh in the name of his God: Jehovah and thus he secured the freedom of his people.

• In the four gospels of the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John we saw John the Baptist rebelled against the hypocritical religious leaders and the immoral political leaders of his day; he also exposed their vile practices. This was done to their great disapproval; as a result, John was beheaded for his bold and courageous actions.

• In Daniel 3: The tyrannical Babylonian King: Neb-u-chad-nez-zar ordered the world to worship him; his likeness was superimposed in the golden statue, the three Hebrew boys servants of Jehovah rebel against the king by not complying with his orders; as a result the boys were thrown into a super heated fiery furnace.

• In Daniel 6: when King Darius forbid the worship of Jehovah and ordered that all recognition and worship be awarded only unto him. Here we saw Daniel rebelling against the king and his instruction. Daniel continued to file his petition with Jehovah his God and as a result of Daniel’s action, he was thrown into the lion’s den.

Religious leader who hides behind the cliché, God’s will, will be done are nothing more than cowards. Jehovah bestowed the responsibility on us to ensure that his will is done on earth and when such is beyond human ability he assured us he will step in and take care of business.

Now let us take a look at some example that most conscionable human were in supports of; examples which occurred in the distant and recent pass:

• The mothers and fathers of emancipation who rebelled against the wicked and the then legal system of slavery and secured the freedom of the black slaves. Their rebellion resulted in the lost of millions of life over hundreds of years.

• Martin Luther King: Martin led a rebellion against the tyrannical system of segregation in America; a system which taught: black people are inferior and they were not human and members of the black race were treated as such. Dr. King’s actions were the catalyst that secured the rights of African American to live in America free and to be treated as a people who are equal. Martin Luther King paid the ultimate price for his people: death.

• Mahatma Gandhi: Gandhi was one who recognized the tyranny of the colonial government that occupied his country; and his heart could not bore the exploitation of his people. Thus Gandhi the Indian “spiritual leader” rebelled and inspired his people to rebel against the colonial tyrant. Gandhi’s action was the vehicle that propelled India to secure her independence. Mahatma Gandhi also suffered the ultimate price for his people: death.
  
• Nelson Mandela: Mandela the South African liberator who rebelled against the tyrannical system of apartheid and secured freedom for his people and ensured that his country became an unconditional self-governing nation, free of the prejudices that cause the exploitation and un-necessary death of millions of innocent black people. Nelson Mandela’s actions caused him to lost 27 youthful years of his life sitting in a prison cell for a cause he believed in; and a cause he knew was right.

One thing I know for sure and that is; if anyone asked these men if the suffering they undertook for their cause was worth it. They will answer with pride and let you know they will do it again if they are needed.

If from the examples provided above, we agree that rebellion to tyrant is indeed obedience to God, then obedience to tyrant is rebellion to God. It is time that people who have tyrant in their lives, such as a bosses, a political leader etc. to get up and rebel against any such tyrant that bully them. When we rebel we must expect retaliation from the tyrant in the same way John the Baptist, Daniel, the three Hebrew boys, Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela suffered; hence we must be prepare to suffer at the hand of a tyrant. But when all is said and done, we will experience a quality of life that will be better, richer and more rewarding; so much so, that we will ask ourselves why didn’t I rebelled sooner.

We must always remember that “a tyrant will always find pretext for his tyranny and it is useless for the innocent to try to reason to get justice when the oppressor intend to be unjust.”

All these men knew exactly what Jehovah expected of them and what was his desire for his people. They also knew that Jehovah has no hands or voice but there (our) hands and voices. What is Jehovah’s will for his people? The American Declaration of Independence out lined the answer to this question perfectly. “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” If there is a person or group who act against the principles out lined in the quote in any way may be a tyrant.

1. If you or another are treated by anyone or a group as if you or the other is not created equal to them.
   
2. If you or another are deprived of your rights to live.
   
3. If you or another had your liberty to express themselves freely etc. taken away.
   
4. Or who make living condition social and otherwise so unhealthy that it is almost impossible to enjoy even the pursuit of and attainment of happiness.

Let us take a look at another part of the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America “whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive to these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government.” In other words any time a government is corrupt, and or is unable to provide the rights as outlined above, in such cases, it is the rights of the people to alter or abolish that government and institute new government. This is very powerful counsel coming from the fathers of democracy.

I will end with these two un-dissected quotation: Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God"

"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. . . whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive to these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

How Far Were You Willing To Go?

At times individuals are forced to wonder, how far their adversaries would be willing to go in order to win a bottle when egos clashes. When all is said and done, would it have made me a better person if I win the little cat fight that we often get entangled in. It is a different thing when an individual is taking a stand against an ill, or standing up for someone who are too weak to stand for themselves.

I use this blog and other forum to expose the imposed hardship I experienced while I was in Bermuda. I suffered many injustices, stress, and other unwarranted hardship at the hands of two of my country men and Commissioner of Police George Jackson and Superintendent of Police Randolph Liverpool as well as Mike Jackman. all my troubles came because I stood up against evil and launched a campaign to have Ralph E. Gonsalves arrested and charged for the allegation of Rape and sexual assault of one of my ex-colleague: female Police Constable (who abundant her quest for justice and walked away due to the stresses that was imposed on her) and later the allegation brought by a young Vincentian human rights lawyer who resides in Canada; both of whom will remain nameless for obvious reasons.

There were some interesting activities that occurred behind the scenes that I have never spoken about. These experiences only seek to show that when certain character type (people) think you are down, they develop the tendency and desire to participate in the demise of the victim. I was not surprised when one of my Vincentian brothers in the Bermuda Police Service knowingly became a tool of my adversary. This person’s conspiratorial action will shock you to the core.

Each time it was made public that Ralph Gonsalves had a death threat made against his life, a particular Vincentian police officer who is policing in Bermuda will come to my apartment outfitted with recording equipment, all in an effort to entrap me in either confessing to him of plotting or making threats against Ralph Gonsalves’ life. At times my fellow countrymen will do so in the presence of certain people who are willing to present even a slip of my tongue as evidence in a court of law.

You may ask yourself or attempt to ask me, why my fellow country man will do such a thing. I will attempt to outline his reasons.

It is important to know that he had agreed to be a tool of “The Friends of Ralph Gonsalves and a foe of Allan Palmer. Firstly the Bermuda police authority did not have any just reason for my suspension and thus my suspension was a direct violation of my contract, my human and constitutional rights as well as the international labor laws. The police authorities were afraid that I was going to sue if I was reinstated. They also had promised Gonsalves that they will stop my campaign against him; but most of all they not count on me making such a noise; they though I would have roll over and play dead like the hundreds of other they exploited who were blinded by the money or were to weak to fight back. The fact that my campaign against Ralph Gonsalves did not stop despite threats from George Jackson the Commissioner of Police, who threaten to take action against me if I do not desist from calling into the radio programs and writing in the News paper in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, as Jackson called termed it “saying nasty thing against Mr. Gonsalves.” I informed George Jackson in the presence of Now Assistance Commissioner of Police Jackman; that he cannot instruct me not to participate in the affairs of my country.

How Far were they willing to go?

In Bermuda there is a Conspiracy charge that is widely used; it does not take much to prove that you have conspired to commit a criminal offence. It was their intention for the Friends of Ralph Gonsalves to gather evidence against me and charge me for conspiring to kill Ralph Gonsalves.

Did you notice that there were always vague reports of threats made against Ralph Gonsalves’ life, and there was never specific information associated with the threats? Were the threats made via telephone email or threats made via the postal system? Asked yourself why it is, that the threats against Ralph’s life had suddenly stopped. No one was arrested, no one was taken to court and no one was convicted for any offence related to the threats that were made against the life of the Head of Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Is it that the person(s) who were making the threats no longer has an interest in the death of Ralph Gonsalves.

In this technologically advance world, even a phone call made from a barred telephone, be it domestic, satellite or cellular phone can be easily tracked and the same with an email communication. It may be harder to trace/track communication that was made via the postal service system (a letter) but not impossible. Such communication can be tracked to a specific location narrowing the search to a particular post office, postal facility or postal receptacle most of which are surveyed by hi-tech electronic surveillance system.

Threat made via the telecommunication system or email can be easily detected. If the powers that be receive a threat against a head of state or head of Government, if the authorities have reason to take such threats seriously, then the source of the threats can be easily detected. However it is not so easy to detect the sender a threat laced mails when such was sent via the postal service system. We have examples of the trouble P John found himself in some years ago, when the election gimmick he undertook behind the guise of anonymity, he circulated a document that was damaging to Ralph Gonsalves and his Unity Labor Party via the internet. He was quickly discovered and was forced to make a public apology in order to avoid the consequences of a lawsuit.

Now, was these threats against Ralph Gonsalves’ life that was released to the press; were they just a part of the well laid plans that were coordinated to entrapped and have me charge for conspiracy to commit murder; the victim being the Prime Minister of St. Vincent: Ralph Gonsalves.

Could you imagine how this would have affected my life if I was so even charged and so convicted of conspiracy to murdering of a head of government? But Jehovah is good and has been good to me.

This plot failed in the same way the plot the Bermuda Police Authority also arranged for my downfall, when they use the beautiful young lady, to try and pressure me into giving her basic information about herself from the police system failed. I love women, but I know where to draw the line.

The big question that I am yet to answer is: how far did this plot went? Was it just a plot that found its origin, execution, failure and thus was just limited to the friends of Ralph Gonsalves in Bermuda or did it stretched across the sea to the office of Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves? And if so what was his role and how deep was he involved? What is in the dark will soon come to the light.

Other questions that just came to mind are: how far were you all willing to go? Was the imprisonment of an innocent man been enough to satisfy your egos and your crave to do evil?

To my brother who join the ranks of the evil and whose efforts were targeted to my downfall and my imprisonment just remember what goes around comes around.

Three Cheers for Colin Williams.

After many months of public outcries, after all of the efforts that was made by Kay Bacchus Gill and the human rights Association; as well as the efforts of Arnhim Eustace in his capacity as private citizen, community leader and political leader of the parliamentary opposition; about the ill-treatment the community receives at the hands of members of the nation’s police force, we saw four police officers being charged for offences resulting from allegations of an assault on a fellow citizen. Such assault occurred whilst the officers were operating in the line of duty; ironically there duty is to protect and serve every member of the community.

The charges were laid after the Commissioner of Police was instructed by the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) to investigate the matter. It was said that the Commissioner of Police drag his feet for many months on what was to be a simple investigation. Yet, after taking more than the expected amount of time he presented a piece of work that was of a substandard quality, so much so that the Director of public prosecution had to inform the Commissioner how to conduct the investigation and give him detail instructions as to; what to do and when to do it.

I am not surprised that Miller was/is unable to distinguish a flawed investigation when one is presented to him. I doubt he is capable of recognizing his own reflection if he saw it in the mirror. We all know that Miller is not a very bright man; that is, unless he is down on his knees awaiting Gonsalves’ instructions.

I guess Colin Williams is basking in the glory of his accomplishment that was derived from his action. Now he is a folk hero, the one who stepped up to the plate and took the valiant actions that was needed. But is Colin Williams a hero or just a zero? Was Williams’ actions against the four police officers (one of whom the charges were dropped) an act of courage or one of a weak man imposing himself on even weaker people in an effort to appear to be strong? Don't get me wrong, I am not writing in defence of the police officers; but I am only seeking to put on exhibition the hypocrisy that exist here.

We all know that the office of the DPP is an independent office, in this office the DPP and his staff has but only one boss, which is the law of the land; and it is only the law that should guide them in their quest to ensure that Justice is done on behalf of the community.

However just over a year ago, a female police officer brought an allegation against Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves, She claimed that he (Ralph) raped her while imposing on her his unwanted sexual touches thus violating her body. This was when Colin Williams DPP should have proven himself to be strong and a man, but he (DPP Colin Williams) was not concern about the crown’s case, instead he put all of his energies into fighting the case for the defense, who just happened to be Ralph E. Gonsalves the Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

Colin, why didn’t you ensure that the case the female police officer brought against your buddy Ralph Gonsalves was so investigated? Are you a DPP who only ensure that justice is done when the poor and the weak will be at the receiving end of Justice System or is there one justice for offences committed by Ralph E. Gonsalves and another justice for the rest of St. Vincent and the Grenadines? Let us for argument sake say, there are/were new allegation brought against Ralph E. Gonsalves are you going to pursue such allegations in the same manner you pursued the four police officers? are you going to ensuring that the reports against Ralph E. Gonsalves, is properly entertained, investigated, charges preferred and a preliminary investigation (PI) decides if there is enough evidence to have a trial?

Everyone knows that Colin Williams is not strong enough to do what is right regardless. We all know that if such a thing is to happen again, the DPP will be down on your knees puckering up your lips to do only God knows what for and to Ralph.

It is open season on police officers in St. Vincent, when you are the victim you are made a victim again (like the female police officer), and when you are wrong you get the same treatment. My police brothers are operating in a no win situation for when they are wrong they are wrong and when they are right they are still wrong; it is so sad; for they are victims of their loyalty.

St. Vincent and the Grenadines Constitution: A Closer Look

The Constitution or the supreme law of any nation is a body of laws that should be instituted by the people to meet specific needs. Some of the more pertinent requirement is to safeguard the needs and rights of the people of that generation and future generations from certain ills, and to ensure that an acceptable way of life is preserved while securing the following:

Guard against injustice in its widest from.

2. protect societal values, morals and norms

3. Guard against Anarchy of all kind.

4. to ensure the rule of law prevails and it is actually blind,

5. To provide a justice system that is free from corruption, as well as ensure that justice is free, fair and available to all.

6. And to ensure that the systems are in place to preserved peace, foster goodwill and ensure the wellbeing of those that dwell in that land.

The enacting or the revision of a nation’s constitution is not an assignment that should be taken lightly; neither is it a task that should be undertaken by selfish men, with egoistic personalities, who lack strength and wisdom. For such a critical endeavor can have far-reaching consequences on the people of the day and on future generation if prudence, wisdom and good judgment are not exercised.

It is no secret that I do not trust Ralph Gonsalves: the Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines or any of his actions. So when I heard that he was going to undertake the awesome responsibility of overseeing a constitutional review, I took that news with a pinch of salt, tremendous worry, apprehension and fear. This along with the fact that everyone knows that anyone Ralph Gonsalves hand pick and who later receives the rubber stamp of approval from his cabinet is either a stooge or a puppet. One who is willing to Jump, hop or skip at his command.

We have seen this in the behavior and example of the following:

1. Colin Williams the Director of Public Prosecution in St. Vincent and the Grenadines: Colin was a young man with lot of positive potential who had failed to realize his potential.

2. We also have the example of Keith Miller the Commissioner of Police in St. Vincent and the Grenadines: Keith is a young man who unfortunately lived up to his true potential.

3. And there is the elder statesman: Mr. Parnell R Campbell QC, who was made to resign his NDP held political portfolio, by Ralph Gonsalves: when he leader of the opposition. By this incident we can conclude that Mr. Campbell integrity can be questioned. In my opinion he is one who should have been wiser; but unfortunately he is one who has become giddy from going full political circle on to many occasion, one whose inconsistency have caused him to become so intoxicated that he cannot serve no objective purpose.

It is for these reasons that I have been going through the document that is titled “The St. Vincent and the Grenadines Constitution act 2009.” As a result, my scrutinizing eyes have picked up the following discrepancies.

I was of the opinion that the constitutional review and the Commission that was to undertake that review had an objective of ensuring that the Constitution of St. Vincent and the Grenadines kept up with the changing times, legal changes, and international advancements. However section 14 (1) of the preamble makes provision to replace the Governor General with a president. This section had therefore convinced me that; the constitution review which was ordered by Ralph Gonsalves Government was not only to bring the nation’s supreme law up to date with local, legal and international changes; but it was and is intended to equip St. Vincent and the Grenadines for the transition from an independent State to a republic. Am I the only person who was not aware that, this was the expressed intention of the constitution review or is Ralph Gonsalves and his government trying to put one over on us (Vincentian)?

I also find it strange that according to the preamble, section 6 (2) of the soon to be instituted President will have a tree years grace period to change “any” existing law that he sees fit, by publishing such in the official gazette. What is unfortunate is this part of the constitution did not specify which type of laws the president has the power to change, alter or amend. Here we have a situation where one man has the power and authority to bypass parliamentary procedures and amend any portion or body of laws he feels like; depriving the people who were elected for that purpose the opportunity to function in their capacity to draft, prepare and present amendments to bad laws to the house. This is the perfect way of sneaking a piece of no-good law onto the people, (selling them into slavery) and thus creating an unstable political and social environment. Such Wily Nelly method of changing, and or amending any portion or body of law, presents the perfect opportunity for unscrupulous men to act in their own interest or in the interest of a group etc. and sell the people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines to the highest bidder. In such cases the highest bidder is often the head of government who is obsessed with power; or some multimillionaire from a distance shore.

Another issue I am going to address in this discourse is one which aroused my suspicions. I am very suspicious of the reason why Chapter 6, section 69 (1) (a) is so wide. This section opens up the opportunity for people with duel or more citizenship to hold elected office in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Now let us for argument sake conclude that such a person is elected or appointed to one of the political offices in the St. Vincent House of Parliament and after taking such office, that individual mess with our country’s finances and steal the little money we don’t have. Then that individual can run off to anyone of the countries they are citizen of and enjoy the good life.

In my opinion this is the Prime Minister’s way of ensuring that his son Camillo Gonsalves who is a citizen of three countries, St. Vincent the country he is least loyal to, has a secured political career in S.VG; and so this part of our constitution is dedicated to Camillo Gonsalves. I cannot see the sense in imbedding such into the constitution of St. Vincent and the Grenadines; this can and will have serious implication in the present as well as the future. It is a sad thing that we are not mature enough to think of the future; unfortunately we can only see in the now and how it is going to benefit me.

Today we are living in an era of sophisticated technological advancement, an era where there has been unbelievable advancement in teaching and teaching aids. Now people with disabilities after they have received the correct training to offset their disability; they have been attending IV league schools, attaining note worthy education advancements, have excelled in various fields, (holders of degrees) functions in many capacities and in many instances they have even excel beyond their able body colleagues. Yet we see Chapter 6, section 68 of the new and soon to be enacted constitution discriminates against people with disabilities.

Isn’t it a shameful that in such an era like this one, the new Constitution of St. Vincent and the Grenadines has discriminatory clauses? And isn’t it embarrassing that the blind, the hearing impaired and the physical disable are the ones who are subject to such discriminations.

Sec. 68 (1) “A person shall be qualify to be elected or selected to be a representative if, and shall not be so qualify to be so elected or selective unless he (the term “he” here is sexist and therefore automatically disqualifies females)

(d) is able to speak (this disqualify the person who is unable to speak no matter their academic qualification and competences there are so many intellectuals that cannot speak) and, unless incapacitated by blindness (people with the learning and ability of New York City Governor David Paterson is excluded) or other physical cause (this automatically disqualify People with the ability and tenacity of four term US president Franklin Delano Roosevelt FDR and would have automatically disqualify Larry Bascombe if he was alive), to read the English language with a degree of proficiency sufficient to allow him to take an active part in the proceedings of the national assemble.

This in its-self is indeed a primitive step which will take St. Vincent and the Grenadines in the wrong direction. Can you believe the audacity of the government and people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines to discriminate against people with physical or other impediment? Not only in though and actions; but such evil, discriminatory and insensitive biases will soon be legally enforced; as such are embedded into the supreme law of St. Vincent, are you kidding me?

In my opinion there are too many ambiguities in the constitution as it stands. I am of the opinion that cobweb has taken over the legal minds that was entrusted with such an important responsibility. I cannot wait to read the final draft.

Ralph Gonsalves, You are Not Qualify to Address Such Topics

When Barrack Obama the current president of the United States of America speaks; his peers, colleagues, supporters and his detractors are left in awe, holding onto every word that falls from his lips. Barrack Obama does not possess any exceptional quality or qualities that make his hearers float on his words, he does not use a conglomeration of sophisticated words in order to impress his hearers, he do not try to appear as one who is learnt and he does not have the alluring voice of an angel: a voice that is laced with a mesmerizing sensation that enthrall the undivided attention of his hearers.

Many people have been studding the content of Barrack Obama’s speeches. They have been studding his speech pattern and all of the other intricacy of his presentation; however they are still unable to detect what give him the ability to captivate his audience the way he does. Unfortunately what they are looking for cannot be found in his speeches, his words or his mannerism. For Barrack Obama’s alluring power is not in what he says or how he says it, as fate would have it, it is found in the integrity that makes up his character. There is something about a strong character that lends power to a person’s appearance, their word (spoken and written) and their actions; such characteristics that cannot be replicated or imitated.

Lately, many people with mess up character have been trying to create their own Obama moment, one such person is Prime Minister Ralph Gonslaves. He goes about making speeches, not because such speeches are needed but in order to fluff his ego, to gain recognition and respect within the region. His objectives as transparent as they are, drives him to address topics he is not qualify to deal with; in doing so he try to speaks on matters of human ills, he fruitlessly try to lend words of motivations to people who need to be inspired and he often fail to bring light of hope to the hopeless. Unfortunately Gonsalves is a man whose character has been so defiled that he would better serve the members of his species by maintaining an eternal silence. This is so for reason I will develop as I continue in this discourse.

Each time Gonsalves opens his mouth to speak, instead of blessing he blights and weary the ears of his hearers, his words are perfect representation of a paradox: his lifestyle are in total disharmony with his words, words which he (Ralph) is unable to trust.

Recently I was exposed to a speech Ralph Gonsalves made on the Isle of spice: Grenada. In his effort to create an Obama moment he created yet another paradoxical moment. He caution his hearers not to be come entrapped by learn helplessness, however he neglect to careful examine his words, for we all know that for every instance where an individual is afforded an opportunity to learn, such lesson must be taught by a teacher, although many lesson are though by the traditional teachers (human); very often our teachers are nature and or even circumstances which create learning moments or experiences.

He also asked his hearers not to adopting a defeatist attitude or personality or as he called it adopting the principal doctrine of “it cannot be done.” The question that must be answered and is on everyone’s mind is: Does Ralph Gonsalves qualify to use such words or to make such speeches? These are questions each person must answer for them self. I challenge Ralph to justifiable answer these question publicly.

Daily Ralph imposed such lessons and he persuasively taught Vincentian the most binding lesson in helplessness; while also teaching the populace that it cannot be done. He was instrumental in creating the circumstances that cause each of us to learn from our experiences, how to be helpless. Ralph Gonslaves was/is the ideal teacher on helplessness and hopelessness. He not only taught it, he ensures that such lessons were superimposed on the psyche of Vincentian. Such imposed teaching may very well leave a mental impression on the people and cause them to develop mental complexes that may very well affect member of that community for generations to come.

He made the masses helpless when he promoted incompetent people into post they are incapable of handling, causing them to exist in an environment of mental helplessness. He is responsible for the state of bewilderment Vincentian now exist in, as they helplessly and hopelessly wait for service promised, and for their life to improve; regrettably there is no visible or imaginary means of such improvement. This can be seen in the poor health care system that exists in the country, the lack of employment that existed even before the global recession. There is also the poor personal example he set for the people as a role model: he taught decent citizen that it is ok to disregard their decency to get what they want; but more so the rapid increase in reported police brutality only aids in compounding such helplessness.

Ralph Gonsalves is the principal instigator and the perfect teacher of the principal doctrine of learnt helplessness which is: “It cannot be done.” He even went as far as to teach his parliamentary colleagues and those whom he surround himself with, that they are incapable of doing anything: this is exhibited in the way he allows his ego to micro manage every aspect of the government and the lives of those around him. He encourages people not to believe and to develop the mind set that their dreams can and will come through; he used his office to propagated that there is no place in his government, his life and his world for integrity, hard work and honorable motive, which are the driving force of success. Helplessness is what happens when the driving force of success is taken away. Unfortunately individuals who exhibit such independent, ethic and are hard workers are victimized.

We have seen so-called honorable men who were once champions of Justice and truth, when caught in the grasp of Ralph’s, they broke under his pressure, as a result they trade the virtues that characterizes a strong character for life of ease, (I will not unmask such by making a public record of their names) while the real men whose values, principles and ethics are far above that which can be traded like a common commodity, are made to undergo hardship. Such virtue and valiant actions must have something more than intrinsic value.

“It cannot be done:” in the courts of Ralph Gonsalves victims are beaten into submission, just like the female police officer and the Canadian human rights lawyers whose allegation of rape and sexual assault were hurriedly swept under the rug by weak men in powerful positions; but an un-normal bulge in the rug still remain, revealing the hidden mess that is yet to be properly taken care of. I must say that all of the wheeling and dealing will not detour Lady Justice, for she will not be deprived of her opportunity to present her public performance in poetic wonderment, a performance she uncomplainingly await to deliver: poetic Justice.

It was only a matter of days after Ralph Gonsalves try to create his Obama Moment by admonishing the people of the Caribbean not to embrace “learnt helplessness,” and not to buy into its principal doctrine which is “It cannot be done.” Here is a case where the great counselor Ralph Gonsalves, forget that example is still the greatest teacher, he fail to follow his own counsel and use the opportunity to teach his student (including himself) a valuable lesson. Instead, in a display of self taught helplessness, he burst into a tangent of childish rage pointing his finger at his CARICOM neighbor: Barbados, threatened not to play with the other members of CARICOM if Barbados do not confirm to his code of conducting the affairs of their nation. Did Vincentian elected a spoilt child to be their political leader?

This is what was meant when Ralph speak of learn helplessness and buying into its principal doctrine of “it cannot be done. Couldn’t Ralph Gonsalves the nation’s lead statesman and chief diplomat find some diplomatic avenue of addressing the concerns of Vincentian as it relates to the immigration differences between both countries? Or is he frustrated that he no longer holds the influence and respect he once held among his CARICOM colleagues.

PM Gonsalves Actions Reason to Avoid Becoming Indipendant Nation

In the 1900, but more so in the 1960s and the 70s, many of the British Caribbean colony, was encompass with a revival of black consciousness; this consciousness came rapped in many packages, know by different names and evoked a subtle disdain for the Country which held their sovereignty. The men and women in this era, who were fresh from academia, became impatient with the imperialist/monarchical system; which was viewed with contemptuous eyes. A system whose people manipulated the law to justify slavery and the other segregated system under which our Negro fore parent suffered the indignity of contemptuous treatment and the belief that foster an inferiority complex among the Negroes people.

Such treatments were carefully documented; such care that ensure the record was intentionally inked in err; omitting socially inhumane treatment for several reasons.

• To hide their wicked deeds from their neighbors and friends.


• To ensure that the conscience of history look of them favorable.


• And to quiet the conscience of their Christian beneficiary who did not care for the gruesome detail that accompanied the acquisition of their wealth.

This new conscious awakening inspired the intellectuals of that era, to inform and recruit the populace, later secure the mandate to pursue and break allegiance with the mother country: England.

It was the views that these countries (colonies) that they did not need the mother-country (England) from whom their economical growth and stability was embedded. The countries economic stability and safety were fixed in the protective economic loyalty that the mother country held for her estrange colonies. Many people argued that it was the least England could do for benefiting form and building a mighty empire on the blood, sweat and tears of our people.

Before Economic Globalization most of the countries that sought and gain independence such as Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago had their economies took off and subsequently collapsed as a results of poor administration, political corruption, and the exploitation of savvy, ruthless international businesses community; that out talked, out thought and out maneuvered the inexperience and naive politicians. Unfortunately this still occurs today.

After globalization and such proposals like the free trade initiative summon the collapse of the economies of the other Caribbean states. The estrange mother country had to revoke and pass legislations that provided a level plain field to accommodate international trade. This new situation forced the once protected former colonies to compete on the open market with companies that were capable of financing elaborate operation than they can; thus making it possible for the former colonies to effectively compete in such an environment. The financial viable companies out produced and out sell the smaller primitive operations of the independent countries.

These states never understood how dependent they were on the countries that held their sovereignty, until economic globalization and the international free trade agreement took away a protection they would have maintained if they remained colonies.

It is no secret that those countries that remained under the supervisory hand of Great Brittan are in a better economical position than all of the countries that chose to become independent states. It is important to note that England do not have a direct hand in the day to day economic affairs of these countries; yet they are able to sustain a healthy economy and thus in most case ensure a high standard of living for their people.

Today there are many of these territories with ambitious men who possess burning, inflated, testosterone compressed ego; that feed that fetish to be a part of positive history and are hell bent on trusting independence onto the people who they were elected to serve. I hope that these politicians take a look at the current state of their sister Caribbean independent countries. It is the wise that learn from the error of others. There is also a wise old adage that said if it is not broken don’t fix it.

Let us take a critical look of some of the plagues of independence and you may conclude which you want for future generations. In most oversea Territories are endowed with a governor that possesses the power to take certain decision that are in the interest of the member of the territory. These representative does not possess unquestionable powers. For if he or she acts inappropriately, that individual can be recalled and dealt with or can be made to face charges if his inappropriate actions was proven to be criminal.

Unlike that of a leader of a sovereign (independent) state like St. Vincent and the Grenadines who’s Prime Minister thinks and behaves like one with ultimate power. A man of very little integrity, one who use indecent gesture (Show the middle finger) at members of his community (his constituent) in public and fail to apologize, one who a female police officer brought allegations of Rape and Sexual Assault against, one whom a young Human Rights Lawyer brought allegations of Sexual Assault against. Unfortunately for these two valiant females Ralph Gonsalves Prime Minister of St. Vincent used his office of Prime Minister to manipulate the criminal justice system to evade prosecution. It was also unfortunate for there were other female within St. Vincent and the Grenadines who claimed they were victims of Ralph Gonsalves sexual exploits there were cases that were filed and later withdrawn due to the press conference that threaten to sue anyone who try to implicate him in any such allegations.

Let us say that the female police officer, the young lawyer and the other victims who became afraid of the intimidation of the Ralph E Gonsalves the Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines were true, what does this mean?

If you don’t know what it meant and still mean, I will endeavor to impart with my clairvoyant intellect and bring you up to date. It means that the victims were not only stripped and raped of their sexual treasure, the sanctity of their body were violated, and each time they were deprived of Justice (the ability to get a lawful hearing according to the laws of the land and the legal system) they are raped anew, each time the boastful no moral Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines appear in public and erroneously exhibit his arrogance they are raped again.

Now think is this the type of country you want for your people, is this the system of unaccountability from a politician who has within his power the resources of the states (though scarce they may be) to illegally inject such into his political campaign to purchase constituent loyalty, rig election, intimidate constituent, etc.

It was as a result of the Canadian human Rights lawyer persistent and with her fearless fight that cause her to give this interview to the local press, (Click here to hear the interview)

Always remember when you beat a helpless dog one day he may just bite back and he may just have rabies. Lets see who is going to get angry because of this article and what action they are going to take.

Where is Justice

After reading the story on the Caribbean New News, which carried the caption “Sacked Vincentian Lawyers Puzzled over Firing” my thoughts ran even wilder that Jane and Tarzan in their wildest moment of passion put together. But these new developments have a foul smell emanating from them. I hope it is just my oversensitive sense of smell. I also hope it is not a case where this young lady is converting from a victim to a prostitute. I will develop this thought in another letter if I am allowed to do so. I hope it is just a case where the delay in justice has caused the alleged victim to rethink her approach, and is now going to try something new.

It is said that justice delayed is justice denied; but what is justice? Justice is the impartial distribution of treatment or the decision to take an action that is morally right, based on ethics, rationality, law, fairness and equality. Because no one can honestly tell whether individuals involved in a dispute are being truthful or not, civilised societies have instituted a system of justice, that was designed to try and discern right from wrong and to administer justice based on its findings. Although the justice system is not a perfect system, it is a fairly reliable system; but most of all it is the only one there is.

This system is so designed not to discriminate against anyone; it was not meant or designed for the poor unfortunate people, and it was not designed to give people a free pass depending on your social, financial of other status. It was meant to treat everyone as equals. If one ran afoul of the law, that individual or individuals are expected to face the consequences of their action but only if it is/was borne out or proven that they have without lawful excuse or willfully violated an individual’s rights.

In every situation that requires the justice system’s intervention, there will be satisfied and dissatisfied people; but what makes our justice system special is not whether an individual is guilty or not guilty (not guilty does not mean innocence), it is the fact that they have allowed the system of justice to follow its natural course. It is all about equity, and the principle that what is good for one is good for all.

I can remember one of my father’s signs, which read, “The arms of the law stretch into the cottage of the poor as well as the castle of the rich.” The unfortunate thing is the poor seem to live in the valley where the law operates and the rich live on the hills where they can look down on society’s less fortunate. Hence the reason the arms of the law always seem to fall short and justice is always incomplete when society’s elite are the offenders; but when they are offended, justice comes swiftly and it is sure.

When the elite of the society have to face the not so sweet music of the justice system, these are the times when people’s integrity seems to have a price tag and a sign which reads, integrity for sale the highest bidder gets the favour.

St Vincent is now lying in the ruins of corruption. The people (Vincentian) who were once considered the warmest and the friendliest people on earth have lost their integrity, their hospitality and their love. Now we have become a “we will do anything if the price is right” people. Our Carib forefathers have probably regretted giving this people and the dwelling such a distinguished name laced with blessings as Hairouna, which means home of the blessed, to Maroona, which means abandon or leave behind. Because that is what we as Vincentians have done; we have marooned our values, our pride, our ethics, wisdom, all hope but most of all we have marooned our people.

The worst thing is the simple fact that the John the Baptists, the Jonahs and the Elijahs: the men of God that operate in St Vincent have forsaken the instruction of the lord Jesus Christ; men of God who fear the authority of powerless, earthly mortals but spit into the face of the all powerful Immortal God.

It is no wonder that our youth are behaving like mad people and valueless beasts, craving after everything that is negative, and practicing exactly what we have taught them. We are excellent teacher of the negative. Now there is no turning back for Vincy (new name Maroona)

Is Ralph Gonsalves A Failure

Yesterday I listened to the "I had a dream" speech, which began the obliteration of the USA segregated society. This speech was delivered under tremendous pressure by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. iconic human/civil rights leader who was assassinated.

........................................................................................................................................................................

Honored by the opportunity to share in such a special occasion I immediately had a patriotic review, my subtle thought revealed the strange triviality of my people mentality. ........................................

........................................................................................................................................................................

Many who know the manipulative man Ralph Gonsalves, they would be aware that he is a failure who suffers from an over heightened sense of nauseating insecurity and criticism is considered a personal attack.

.........................................................................................................................................................................

For the record and for posterity sake lets now take a brief look at the man and his lack of successes. This is the same smooth talking individual who incidentally, successfully & convincingly manipulated Vincentian into letting him take possession of the administration of the country's affairs.

.........................................................................................................................................................................

As a father and husband he had failed to protect his family from the scandals that destroy the self-esteem and encouraged the insecurity of those he is obligated to love and protect: remembering that within every rumor or allegation there is some truth. As a politician he set and created the trend of lawlessness (that today plagues St. Vincent today) when he mobilized and encouraged the gullible leaders of the various trade unions to consciously take part in unlawfully/lawless activities: which put him in the position to take governance by default. Being a poor sport and unable to take a little heckling, he displayed his lack of statesmanship when he showed his middle finger to one of his constituent, and had other fired. .............................................

.........................................................................................................................................................................

As the prime Minister he engaged in policies that facilitated the political divide among the people, embarked on unbeneficial capital projects that satisfied his craze to leave a positive mark on the pages of St. Vincent and West Indian history, and thus putting the country in a deficient economic position. .......................................................................................................................................

.......................................................................................................................................................................

However he was successful in creating an unsafe, economically unstable, socially weak, politically blind, morally challenged, historically shameful, philosophically deprived and culturally bankrupted place for his constituent to dwell in. But what is the most shameful is the fact that he and his elite appointee are totally void of sound, meaningful and applicable ideas and plans to move the country forward yet they greedily hold on to power. ...........................................................

........................................................................................................................................................................

There are many more areas of failure that could be mentioned here but time will not permit me to go into them. It is known that none of us are perfect, but most of us were though and have learned how to be meek in our imperfection, humble in our failure graceful in our success..............

.............................................................................................................

As it is said misery loves company, so in his hate filled jealously, he try to create many more people that has the professional and social personification of himself. So he create an environment to cause successful individuals, businesses and groups to be placed in compromising position that will ensure that the success they has in their grasp are forcefully pried from their bosoms. The latest examples/victims are Douglas DeFreitas, E.G Lynch and Nice Radio. Ralph Gonsalves took what our Vincentian culture considers petty kitchen talk and like a spoilt child he ran crying to the courts complaining of his hurt feelings; he is such a baby. .......................................

.........................................................................................................................................................................
I hope that after baby Ralph omit the post of Prime Minister and the other toddlers that make up the governing ULP is stripped of the responsibility to govern St. Vincent and the Grenadines, an investigative search of the books and into other allegations does not prove otherwise. We know that most people in these office are not totally honest in their dealings and very often will make tremendous sacrifice to create a façade to be presented as they are not. ................................

.....................................................................

To this end I have been trying to come up with a creative plan where I can use my talent so I can contribute to the Save nice radio fund. Now may St. Vincent continue to be the home of God's blessed.

.........................................................................................................................................................................

His law practice in my opinion was a failure endeavor, however he use his eloquence to persuade all of the misguided fact of his brilliance and so convinced and promised the Holder family justice for the death of young Buzzie Holder, who was killed by a police man (incidentally that police officer who later became one of my mentors and was a wonderful and dedicated person); yet he fail to ensure justice in what was to be an easy process.

Small Island politician: Do They Have Small Minds

Leadership is a tremendous challenge; but when a leader knows what he or she is doing and when he or she understand, accept and appreciates the fact that, it is the choice of the people to follow that individual or not and a leader is indeed the people’s servant; it is only then that leadership becomes a wonderful experience. It is important for leaders and potential leaders to note: that an individual or group who have decided to elect or nominate anyone as their leader (political or otherwise) have the democratic, the constitutional and the God given right to reject that leadership at any point in time and for any given reason. There are some characteristics that are synonymous to small Island politicians that scare me: one is the fact that, the politicians don’t understand or refused to understand this (the above) simple concept. Most small island politicians behave as if it is their inalienable rights to be in charge of the people political affairs, and they show no tolerance for anyone who opposes them. Such behaviors are juvenile and ought to be expected from children not grown educated men and women.

Unfortunately the politicians in small island benefits when they encourage the political and other divide and put enmity between the people by stirring up the fears and anger and other emotions of the masses; thus ensuring their party maintains a strong hold on the governance of the country; such is the dealing of the ULP.Although to continually encourage the political divide among the people is not good for any one, the politicians are not big enough to put their country before their party, their personal and political ambitions. When one speak about selfish men you speak about small Island politicians in St. Vincent case the ULP politicians.

They have adopted the techniques of the old slave specialist; Willie Lynch. Willie Lynch taught slaves owners, if they can keep the slaves divided then they will keep their slaves. The UPL leadership daily practice the same concept, which is; if you can keep the people divided you will keep your job.

Unfortunately the only person in that party for whom I have not lose respect for is the Hon. Rene. I may be wrong but she seems to be different from the others.

I have seen a new day dawning in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, a day that will left the politician behind. A day when the citizenry becomes so informed that they unite for the common good of their country. party card and loyalty, scare and other tactics will not work in swaying to vote for any politician or his party; there is dawning a day when politicians will have to come up with sound plans and programs and a character to match before the people will even consider them. When the people will demand that the parliamentarians enact and enforced sound integrity legislation, when one will have to be able to pass the acid test to be a politician; when this new era is ushered in what are you guys going to do.

An Open Letter To Anthony Astaphan

Listening to the news of Dominica on the evening of November 13th 2008, I listen with interest as a piece dealing with Dominica’s politician Ambrose George’s alleged involvement in a Nigerian internet scam. The announcer introduced and played a voice clip of renowned Dominica lawyer Anthony Astaphan. I listened intently and to my surprise I heard Anthony Astaphan advising Ambrose George to do the honorable thing and resign his ministerial position.

I was so shock to hear such a statement coming from the mouth of Anthony Astaphan. I wondered if this was the same Anthony Astaphan counsel and advisor to St. Vincent and the Grenadines Prime Minister: Ralph Gonsalves. If this is he, it seems as if this man understands the importance of public officers keeping their character away from negative, corrupt and dishonest association. Old people often say, if it walk like a duck, look like a duck and quack like a duck then it must be a duck; they also say that you are known but the company you keep, and if you weren’t there they could not call your name.

This new development leads me to ask a few important question of Lawyer Anthony Astaphan.

• As a man who appears to have the moral understanding of the standards public officers should be held to; so much so that you asked Ambrose George to resign in the light of such scandal. Why didn't you see if fit to remind your client Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves of his moral responsible to the people he represents and to his office as Prime Minister

• Did you also advise Ralph Gonsalves to resign in the light of the scandal/allegation of rape and sexual assault and the ongoing investigation and court proceedings?

• Did you remind Ralph Gonsalves of his sworn obligation as a lawyer to ensure that Justice is done?
  
• Did you remind Ralph Gonsalves of his obligation as a citizen of St. Vincent not to use his Prime Ministerial power to interfere with the working of the Justice system?

• Did you inform him of the criminal offence he was committing in so doing and the consequence of such?

If you have failed to so advise your client then I am accusing you of malpractice and you therefore owe Ralph Gonsalves and the people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines a refund of the legal fees paid to you and a written apology for your negligence, I will not say incompetence for I have seen you in action and I know better. I am also recommending that you be charge and tried in the court of public opinion for being a hypocrite.

Anthony how can you give Ambrose George such good and wise counsel for free yet you neglect, omit or refused to impart the same wisdom to your paying client, colleague and once respected Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves.

Anthony place take note that the Government and people of St. Vincent are awaiting a refund of the legal fees paid to you out of the government coffers. We have concurred that you have not yet earned your wages.

Crimes Against The Flesh Who Are The Criminals

Prostitution is as old as time itself, even from the beginning of time women have been made to be or have chosen to be prostitutes; Biblical history, secular history and modern trends bears witness of this fact. Prostitution is a situation which resulted from some social condition which may force a woman to sell her body, for the sexual gratification of another: mainly a man.

Prostitution is the process where an individual offers themselves to indulge in sexual favors for a fee: where an individual pays another to have sexual intercourse or sexual favors with him/her.

We must understand that most women prostitute themselves to satisfy or alleviate some unfavorable social condition or to satisfy some needs or wants. I have heard of women who offered their body as a sacrifice to silence the cry that the pain of hunger generated in the stomachs of their children. I have heard of ladies who have developed deranged sexual cravings and habits which were resulted by some childhood trauma: the painful consequences of sexual abuse, rape etc. now these victims see the collection of money for their imposed perversion as a means to an end.

I have also heard of women who after being raped, felt so nasty, worthless and cheap that they sell themselves as prostitute; but worst yet, I have heard the sick stories of unscrupulous men who entrapped women and with the use of threats introduce them to the world and life of prostitution. Never have I heard of a mentally healthy woman, with no adverse social condition just venturing into this despised business. There are many more painful stories which in detail chronicle the suffering of such people.

In today’s world, prostitution is illegal. It is illegal for a prostitute to entice a potential client to use her service and it is also illegal for an individual to solicit another to become sexually involve with him or her for a fee, whether that fee is paid before the sex act immediately after the sex act or some time later.

All in all prostitution is illegal, demeaning, dehumanizing, and degrading to the parties involved; but more so, to the person who should be using his or her substance to elevate the falling, bring healing to those who are hurting, and be a guiding light to those who have lost their way.

Unfortunately; today our sick world has digressed into a place where there are male prostitutes, who offers themselves for the sexual gratification of both male and female. As nauseating as this taught is, it is a modern day fact of life.

For us male have become so lazy, that we refuse to use the strength that God have given to us. strength which would have afford us to live up to our responsibility to our community as leaders, protectors of the helpless, the hopeless, the poor, the weak, the widows, and the parent less; but instead we look for the opportunity to prey on the people who have fallen on hard times and find themselves in such unfortunate position. We refuse to control our passions, especially our sexual passions and so we craft opportunities which create victims within the communities; then we take advantage of those we were blessed or put into position to look out for.

The refusal (in some deranged cases: inability) to control or curb one sexual desire leads to deranged sexual cravings; cravings which cause these sick people to make intensive efforts in order to satisfy their desires. As a result, the destructive element of raped is introduced into the life of many and the helpless innocence of babies are no longer a safe stage, for these deranged men has no regards or sympathy for such; not when their passion burn within them. In some cases the victims of rape are killed to avoid detection; and if the predators are detected, they will lie and do all in their power to avoid the justice system and the punishment that is associates with such crimes.

In such situation those with money make their money speak for them; adding more humiliation to the already dehumanizing experience they would have put the individual through. Each time a victim of rape accept monies for their pain, humiliation and the lost of their dignity they suffered during and after being raped; in my opinion they are selling their body and is actually participating in prostitution. Anyone who pays or offers to pay an individual to avoid going to the law, to withdraw a case or not to make their misdeed public, is actually participating in prostitution; such offer to pay or payment is an admission of guilt; and anyone who acts as a go between or a middle man to facilitate such transaction in cases of rape is nothing less than a pimp or a jigglelow.

Although prostitution is a sad phenomenon, most of the times it is an act where two consenting adults entering into a simple contract. But to strip an individual of their dignity via the act of rape and then turning them into a prostitute is a whole other story.

Cases of rape are very easy to prove in the court of law, and if an individual was even found not guilty by a jury of his peers, that individual will forever live with the stigma of the allegations; because not guilty do not necessarily means innocent.

I have heard of stories of women who fabricate stories of rape as a means of revenge and out of spite. This is not only low and dirty it is dishonesty to the lowest; such people if discovered should he banished from the community.

So if an allegation of rape was brought against an individual and that individual chooses to pay the alleged victim not to pursue legal action; then their action is in its self an admission of guilt; and any alleged victim of rape who accepts money as a payoff, that out stretched hand immediately transforms that person from a victim to a prostitute.

What Goes Around Comes Around

Journalism is the tactful art of bringing important information to the community for the purpose of keeping them informed and educated. However most journalist are concerned with keeping their audiance entertained; thus entertaining the community have taken priority. The people depends on journalist to report information in a systamatic and reliable manner. We can all agree that in today's society, journalism is all about making money; hence the reason so much sensationalism dominates the media.

Let us take for example the Caribbian Net News (which have been dominated by Ralph Gonsalves lately) the media in St. Vincent and the Grenadines as well as several regional media organization, carried a falsified story which dealt with the dismissal of Allan H.F. Palmer from the Bermuda Police Service. incidentally the Royal Gazette of Bermuda carried a story on the 13th June 2008 informing the Bermuda community of mr. Palmer's resination from the BPS effective August 5th 2008.

The Million dollar question is why didn't the Caribbean Net News, the Media in St. Vincent and the Grenadines as well as the several reginal news paper who saw it fit to informed their followers of the unprecedented statement made by the Governor of Bermuda as it related to George Jackson Commissioner of Police. It is totally unprecedented for the Governor to publicly make such a statement about an appointee of his office and one who is still serving; unless public confidence in that officer is so low he have to do such to quiet the fares of the general public.

The Governor said "I hope Mr. Jackson would welcome the opportunity to retire"; he further said 'we will have to see how things are looking early next year, but if everything went well I will like to say to George Jackson thanks very much and arrange for him to hand over at the end of next year, so he would be allowed to put his foot up" (quoted from the Royal Gazette of Bermuda)

it will be interesting for you to log onto http://bpsstudh.blogspot.com and read the study that was done by Allan H.F. Palmer. this study was handed over to the Governor, the leader of the opposition and the minister of Home Affairs on the 6th August 2008 a day after Mr. Palmer's resination became effective.

New Development

The Governor of Bermuda had began to take action. apart from publicly giving George Jackson notice that he have got to go, he have also informed Assistant Commissioner of Police Brian Bell that he to will be going with George Jackson at the end of his contract earily 2009. The Bermuda Police Service have seen the Michael De Silva jumping the two senior superintendent Randolph Liverpool and Mike Jackman (both men who were in line for post of commissioner) and was promoted to deputy commissioner. how ironic.

Big George Jackson, do not have to worry; after all He can now moved back to St. Vincent to pick up the post of Chief of Air Port Security a post which was promised to him by PM Gonsalves. Lets see how much respect you are going to get from the ralph now that you are no use to him and you are under his control. As a matter of fact Big George you will never see that appointment because that same post was promised to several other gullible individual who would have been compramising their integrity the same way you did; the only thing is they are now more useful to him that you are at this point.

Creating a Legecy base on lies

It is no secret that Ralph E. Gonsalves built a successful political career by unforgivably exposing, overstating, and or exaggerating, the mistakes, misfortunes, and indiscretions of his political and other opponent. He makes a habit of using his storytelling abilities to dress up the truth in order to make them more interesting than they are. There are even cases where he conspired and aided in the downfall of people who he felt were a threat to him.

We have seen this in the way he sheepishly entrapped Stanly ‘Starkey’ John in order to depose him of the opportunity to regain the leadership of the Unity Labour Party (ULP), the political party he now leads, which is the same organization he is currently using to destroy the Vincentian way of life (values, morals, economy, pride etc.) and St Vincent and the Grenadines. We have also seen the way in which he disposed of his own blood relative, Ken Boyea, forcing him to leave the political comfort of the ULP while denying him to create, among other things, a political legacy.

There are many political, social, and other casualties that litter the course, hills, and the valleys of St Vincent; all victims of Ralph Gonsalves. Although many citizen of St Vincent had suffered, and are suffering, directly at his hands; unfortunately the biggest causality will be St Vincent and the Grenadines, and to a lesser extent CARICOM.

Now that I have given an overview of the man we are force to coexist with; let me address the reason for which I write. We have seen how Ralph squandered the well needed millions of dollars to ensure that his friends in the legal fraternity are rewarded for past deeds done in his efforts to discredit Sir James Mitchell for his effort in the Ottley Hall Marina project, which saw the underdeveloped island losing about thirty million United States dollars, and later accumulating tremendous interest for the nation’s inability to effectively service that loan.

I will never say that there was not inappropriate behaviour and unethical practices by persons close to this project. I will never say that there was not illegal practice involved in this project, but I suspect that all those who knowingly participated in any illegality were not made the object of the witch hunt that is the Inquiry. For one thing; to implicate the true players would not have benefited those who went through all of the trouble of instituting it, and it would have defeated the sole purpose of the Inquiry; which was to discredit Sir James Mitchell. Unfortunately, with his own hands, Ralph Gonsalves managed to cause his own character to be plunged into disrepute (the allegations of rape and sexual assault).

What was the crime which was committed by Sir James Mitchell? In my opinion, Sir James F. Mitchell was guilty of being too naive and trusting; he is guilty of the same offence most Vincentian are guilty of; we are far too naive and too trusting. An example of this is the fact that they hand over their life, their children’s future, and the future of my blessed country into Ralph Gonsalves’ hands. However, there is a thin line between naivety and stupidity; a line that I hope the Vincentian community will not cross.

I am convinced that Ralph Gonsalves is obsessed with trying to create a positive legacy for himself. In his obsession to be viewed as a brilliant politician and businessman, Ralph Gonsalves took the initiative to get CARICOM involved in a sweetheart deal with one who appears to be even more sinister and conniving than Dr Aldo Rolla; Allan Stanford, who allegedly schemed billions of USA dollars from his investor who trusted him. Can the governments of the Caribbean trust Allen Stanford? Was this deal too good to be true? Did Allen Stanford see a sitting duck (Ralph Gonsalves and his pathetic deal) and took advantage of it? How will Allen Stanford’s new self created troubles impact the following; CARICOM (LIAT), inter-island Caribbean travel and the citizen of these countries? I guess we will never know until the creditors come knocking trying to recover their client’s money, as in the Bernie Madoff case.

The questions that immediately came to mind were, apart from the use of Allen’s private jet; did the St Vincent and the Grenadines prime minister benefit personally from Allen Stanford? Was this just an ugly repeat of Sir James Mitchell’s mistake, or is Ralph Gonsalves too bright to be so fooled?

Proud of My Newly Found Status

When I heard that I made the local TV news (photograph and all) and when I saw my photograph and a headline that accompanied the story, which read "Vincentian controversial police officer discharged from the Bermuda Police Service" and when I saw the story on Caribbean Net News; my heart was filled with a sense of pride. This sense of pride came for the following reasons:

The news stories pointed out some of the qualities that make me unique. In order for one to be controversial one has to be ambitious, honest, an independent thinker and courageous. I will be the first to admit I am controversial, I am a man with an opinion and I am not afraid to let my opinions be known even if my opinion differ or do not support the views and opinion of whomever.

1. That the press has recognized my newly found status in St Vincent and the Grenadines and in Bermuda, a status I have embraced; one that I love.
2. That I have been elevated from the simple neighbourhood and street corner gossip to that of a headliner, to breaking news story that went on for over a week.
3. The fact that I was not accused of pushing, smuggling or offering drugs to any ones children.
4. The fact that I did not steal or get into trouble for any act of dishonesty.
5. The fact that I made the news for displaying strength, integrity, honesty and courage.
6. But most of all I am still a practical example of my parents and God’s expectation; and this is what those who oppose me would love to and attempted to rob me of; but they can’t take that away from me.

It is no secret that I am a man who loves attention but I am very selective of the type of attention I am associated with. I must admit I basked in the attention of all the phone call the MSN contacts and emails from all of my friends and acquaintances and from people I never expected support from. They ranged from police officers, politicians, community and religious leaders, but most of all the ordinary man form St Vincent, Bermuda and other countries.

There is no hiding the fact that there are going to be three groups of people expressing their opinion on what they perceived happened. There will be those who will rejoice over what they considered my down fall, there will be those who are going to support me no matter what, and there will be those who could not care one way or the other about me and the events that surrounding me.

Let me take this opportunity to thank Ralph Gonsalves, George Jackson, Randy Liverpool and Mike Jackman, for giving me another opportunity to motivate other people like me who just needed an example (my example) to find their strength to be an objective voice regardless.

For affording me the opportunity to show my children and all of the children I have ever mentored: those who participated in my program the Adventurers hikers, Read and have Fun or such programme like the Big Brother Big Sister programme; but most off all the children of Bottom Town whom I hope from my example will learn and understand that they can become a news headliner for being positive, strong, courageous and honest virtues once cultivated no one can take away from you no matter how hard they try. But most of all I hope they learn from my examples how to make the stumbling blocks others place in your way into stepping stone and life obstacles should not take our destiny from grasp of your hands.

It is my only wish to teach those who look up to me how to be strong, and this strength is displayed in my writing at http://crushingfools.blogspot.com

The Revenge Of Ralph E. Gonsalves

Each time an honest man or woman stands up against or lends a voice of objection against wrong or injustice, he or she can expect to be prosecuted for his actions. And anytime an individual stands up against and or lends a voice of objection against Ralph Gonsalves, he or she can expect a particular mode of revenge; which is, he will use his position, his office and or his influence, to victimise that or those individual(s).

We have seen this in the unfair and premature dismissal of Mr Cummings (ex-manager of the Central Water and Sewage authority, who moved that government-owned corporation from a debt plagued institution to a profitable institution); Major Leacock (the man who also took the indebted Vinlect and turn it into a profitable, multimillion dollar government corporation) and the hundreds of New Democratic Party (NDP) supporters that were unfairly and prematurely dismissed because of their allegiance to the NDP. We have seen the unfair transfer and punishment of staff nurse Janice Lewis for reporting the finding of an STD in a mother and a daughter that infected by… Let me shut my mouth before one of SVG’s big bad wolves sues me.

However, anytime an honest individual speaks in the name of justice and it is against the big bad, sorry, big dirty wolf and chief victimiser (the one who is responsible for creating victims), then we know there are going to be repercussions.

When I first heard of the allegations made by the female police officer against the Prime Minister of St Vincent and the Grenadines Ralph Gonsalves and when I heard of Ralph’s efforts to pervert the course of justice, I wrote my first letter, which was titled “Let justice be done in St Vincent.” I have been sending this article to the News newspaper, the Searchlight and the Vincentian, for a month before I had the letter published on Caribbean Net News. Up to today’s date (19-06-2008) none of the newspapers (who normally give me a voice) has published that article. Thanks to Caribbean Net News, the oasis in a desert of injustice.

However, after my letter was published and was read on Nice radio, a series of events began to happen to me on my job right here in Bermuda. Yes, the Prime Minister’s friend from Georgetown, Randy Liverpool, Superintendent of Police and his newfound friend, George Jackson, Commissioner of Police, launched an all-out attack against me.

My cell and home phone were tapped, listening apparatuses was placed in my room, and tracking devices were installed on my car, I was followed 24 hours-a-day for three months. There are three police officers who had become the target of the Bermuda Police Service, all for different reasons, but I, Allan H.F Palmer, became public enemy number one.

Ever since I publicly declared (this declaration was done in the presence of one of my countrymen) my intention to help the alleged rape victim fight for due process and my failed submission to have my first letter published by the newspapers in SVG. George Jackson and Randy Liverpool have been trying to prove their allegiance to the Prime Minister by trying to have me fired and they had to make it look legitimate. As a matter of fact they have turned me into a folk hero here in Bermuda, in this case a symbol of strength of one that is not afraid.

After the Royal Gazette reporter Sam Strangeway did a front page story of me and my blog, giving me credit for my work on the blog, this angered the comrade and his friends. They had to do something to stop this man (Allan H.F Palmer).

So the guys came up with a master plan. They arranged a beautiful girl (with whom I was friendly; also what they offered her I don’t know) to call and request some insignificant information form the police system. Although the information was insignificant, I was aware that the Bermuda Police Service has ways and means of cheaply dispensing such information. So I decided to complete the documentation for the young lady and I encouraged the pretty face young lady to use the system as is provided for these purposes.

At 1:30pm that day I was summoned to Commissioner of Police George Jackson’s office for a meeting. And these are the words he said to me, and I quote, “You have been embarrassing the Prime Minister and the Government of St Vincent. You must stop it or we are going to take action against you. However, I am here to warn you that you will be on suspension pending the outcome of the investigation. Your suspension papers have already been drawn up and you will be served today.” I then asked the reason for my suspension, it was then I was told that I have violated the Police Confidentiality Act. This was so funny that I laughed heartily. Thank God for my trusty micro digital recorder.

Soon after they were informed that I did not fall for the plot, I was excused from the meeting and sent back to my work with a compliment of how good a worker I am. A few weeks later I was suspended on the allegation that I have disobeyed a direct order from the Commissioner of Police (an alleged order which was given in the meeting I mentioned above) and I have been on suspension for the last five months. I was suspended on an allegation that I disobeyed a direct order from the Commissioner of Police; yet there were PC Glen Kellman, who was investigated, charged and prosecuted for Grievous Bodily Harm. There were then PCs Fox, Miguel, Mitchell, Baghawn, and Telemaque, all of whom was investigated, charged and prosecuted for a series of criminal offences, which included Assault and Bodily Harm, Attempting to Pervert the Course of Justice, etc. There was also PC Dennis Archer, who was investigated, charged, prosecuted and convicted for causing Grievous Bodily Harm to his girl friend, yet none of these police officers who stood trial for criminal offences were ever suspended, but were allowed to continue to perform duties in the capacity of a police officer. Yet I was suspended for a simple allegation.

No police officer in any part of the world has an obligation to comply with a direct order from any senior officer if he knows that order is unlawful. This can be found in any Police Act and it is in the Bermuda Police Service Act 1974.

Can you imagine that after sustaining a broken coccyx bone and having a surgical procedure done on me, that I am going through all of this? Yes, I am presently on sick leave for two very painful conditions yet I have got to go through this. Mr and Mrs Palmer did not bring up any weakling who runs and hides his head in shame at the first sign of disappointment. I am from Bottom Town, I have no shame and why should anyone be ashamed for doing what is right. This whole series of event was the catalyst that revived and invigorated me.

I am not writing this letter to invoke your sympathy; I may have to walk away from a job, but, for me, life will go on. Instead, I implore you to give your sympathy and empathy to the young police officer who was allegedly striped of her dignity by her beloved leader, give it to the young human rights lawyer who had allegedly suffered the indignity of her body being violated, and give it to the hundreds or probably thousand of underage and other women who were violated sexually and otherwise by those who were put in place to make their lives better. Dr Gonsalves, I may have to walk away from my job and that is quite okay, but just remember that God is so good, he doesn’t ever sleep and I am still his favourite child.

Psychological Effects Of Rape

Once again another young Vincentian has come forward with allegation of sexual misconduct against the Prime Minister of St Vincent and the Grenadines Ralph E. Gonsalves and once again the chief puppet master or puppeteer of St Vincent and the Grenadines, Dr Ralph E. Gonsalves, has pulled the strings.

Yet another victim was denied their day in court by the Director of Public Prosecutor (DPP) and so they were denied justice. But this was to be expected. Could it be, that all these people, who have made allegations against my Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves, are lying, or is it that the female police officer has instilled a sense of courage in the many victims that literally litter our community, all of whom may be victims of our dear charismatic and beloved Prime Minister Dr Ralph E. Gonsalves.

What if these women are speaking the truth; and if so where is the justice for these women, our mothers, sisters, wives, daughters and our friends.

I have heard so many rumours of allegations of sexual assaults and rapes even of minors that are going on in St Vincent and the Grenadines, by men in positions of power; victims whose parents forgo criminal proceeding because they were paid off to keep quiet.

While the parents were content with prostituting their children and while they enjoy the luxury of the large quantity of money they get as pay-off for their children getting raped or sexually assaulted; their child/children suffers from the psychological trauma that is associated with the violation of the female, especially children.

Don’t be fooled, there are many young boys and young men who are also victims of these unscrupulous, supposedly responsible men. Unfortunately these young boys are too shame to come forward. A large amount of these male victims themselves becomes homosexual, sexual predators or pedophiles; continuing the cycle of destroying the lives of other innocent members of our community, creating more victims.

To all you parents who took the opportunity to sell your children’s innocence, please remember; the money will soon finish, your child/children will still be traumatized, you will still be living in poverty, your integrity would be lost, the perpetrators will rape again and you will be responsible for all of the lives that were ruined because of your greed and weakness.

To you, the members of the community whether you are a commissioner of police, a DPP, a doctor, a journalist, an editor, or just a person who remains quiet because you are looking for a hand-out, if you neglect your responsibilities to the community to be that objective voice calling for justice, then the blood of all those innocent victims is also on your hands and you are no better than the predators among us.

It is known that sexual predators are people who are very insecure and suffer from self-esteem problems. These people use sex to exercise power and control over their victims and the sexual violation of the victim gives them a sense of empowerment that never satisfies. Can you imagine the consequences you are asking a person, especially a child, to live after they have been raped or sexually assaulted?

Victims of rape suffer from the following:

1. Anxiety: Can you imagine an individual going though life every single day, with a feeling of persistent nervousness, stress and worries, which are triggered by past events (the rape).

2. Depression: these people always have the feelings of anxiety, sadness, helplessness, hopelessness, worthlessness, pessimism, guilt, restlessness, irritability and they lose or gain weight drastically. They also lose interest in pleasurable and or routine activities, they have reduced sex drive, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, remembering or making decisions, as well as suicidal thoughts; their emotion often changes at the drop of a pin.

3. Obsession: they become obsessed or attached to another human, animal or inanimate object.(the making of a stalker if that attention is not appreciated) Can you remember the young lady who was beheaded in plain view of everybody at the bus terminal in Kingstown? She was a victim of a man with an obsession.

4. Compulsion: This includes persistent, irresistible impulse to perform a repetitive irrational behaviour. Common behavioural compulsions include excessive hand-washing, cleaning, checking, ordering, and touching.

5. Post-traumatic stress disorder: This is where an individual that has had a traumatic experience, persistently gets uncontrolled flashbacks of the horrible experience that have cause his/her trauma. These flashbacks can be so frequent that it can prevent the person living a normal life, holding down a job or having wholesome relationship with spouse, colleague, associates, family etc.

No human has the right to sentence anyone to such a life, no matter how much that predator hates the victim. Can you imagine sentencing a minor to such an unstable life? Lord, please have mercy on us all. With one indecent and unsolicited act we inflict all manner of psychosis on perfectly normal people and in the process we take away their rights to live normal lives.

I say shame on all who knowingly aid in protecting any rapist in the community. Please remember once a rapist always a rapist, once a pedophile always a pedophile. When will you care when you, your son, your daughter, your wife, your mother or husband becomes the victim; it is time for us to take our heads from out of the sand and do what is right.
