' not good'





I have been very delinquent and not posting as I normally would. My mind has been elsewhere. Still very much in the colony but on other things. I am a 'witness' in the Joint Select Committee's inquiry into the troubled ferry service, so I have work to do. My involvement was in 2014 so I need to get my head around the circumstances and of course without access to files and other info it's not that easy. I feel as though I am back in Holy Cross College in the late '60's. Not a good place for me, not the college, just me.
Anyway, I am scheduled to be a 'witness' on Monday or Tuesday, no notice as yet, but I am cool with what is happening and in fact I really welcome this opportunity to finally put some 'jumbies' to rest.
What I love about governance in this country is the fact that there can actually be five different sides to a story. Which of course is what is happening with the Port. We have the following:


  • Sole investigator.
  • Integrity Commission.
  • Transparency International.
  • Cabinet appointed committee.
  • Joint Select Committee 

and John Public

Sorry that makes six!

Well, why not? At the end you get six different results and you just pick one, that works. A win win situation.

Poor Mr Le Hunte, it was so easy to do this and you had to screw it up. When were you a citizen of which country, which country did you swear allegiance to, when did you renounce which ever citizenship you had, when did you re-swear [ is that a word?] to an allegiance for which ever country you were supposed to be a citizen of, and when did you stop being a citizen of which country and accept a citizenship of another country? Anybody standing in line outside the Immigration Office on Frederick St would have taken at least ten [10] years to get this stuff sorted out. For the PMOTT to simply pass it off as a 'glitch' is bordering on the ridiculous. It seems that the PMOTT is now famous at the ole bob and weave! He is very good at the deflect mode!

And the other great news is in the TTPS. What? you say! Yes, the Ag CoP has headed off to Australia to collect his trophy for looking after women police officers, he then proceeds on three well deserved months of vacation. The Acting Acting CoP is now a person that has a checkered past. People, we are living in a narco state, you can call it what you want, and we cannot even get a CoP who has tenure and can get the job done. The firing of the Canadians still has a big question mark over that entire issue. Dana Seetahal and a number of other persons murdered for what reason? The TTPS is as corrupt as any organization could be and this has to stop. As far as I am concerned terminate the employment of every single officer from Ag CoP to the last intake. Declare martial law and start from scratch. Something has to break somewhere and if you cannot trust who is there now then do the right thing and get rid of all.

A person who I credit with my early start in civil protest was murdered today. This brings to maybe 12 people who I know have now been murdered. I live on a small, insignificant island on the earth and I know that many people who have been murdered? How can this be? People go through their entire lives not knowing a single person who died a violent death and I know a dozen?

I am sorry, this has to stop! We need a Government that will take the bull by, the proverbial horns and deal with the narco state. Destroy it! I agree with the PMOTT when he talks about corruption, and my simple question is 'and?'

Tonight is not one of my best nights, my thoughts and heart go out to a person who is a real trooper and a serious patriot of this country, Stephen, rest easy my friend, all is not lost!

Good night and good luck!

'aghhhhhhhh'

This week has me feeling so down about the rock and what really is our future. I have always considered myself to be Mr. Optimistic. Things would be bad, sometimes downright terrible with little or no hope and I would be there battling it out. The hard part is our present and future position is all man made [excuse the gender] and it seems that no matter what we do, how we vote, who we put our trust in, it somehow ends up bad. In 1956, the hope was there, a mass appeal, in 1986 it returned and was destroyed by 1990, in 2010 432,026 electors voted for the Peoples Partnership, in excess of 60% of the population. By 2015 a lot of the love disappeared and we found ourselves in a position of no-where once again. I use these years because the popular vote was there, the majority voted overwhelmingly for the winning party. Even though the winner in 1956 did not win by any semblance of a majority, over 80% of the electorate cast their vote. It is interesting to note that in 1956 the PPPG...

the Isle of Spice

We ran away, again, to the Spice Island, for a couple days. Work and play. Our first day there was the day of rain. I have never witnessed steady rain, a bucket a drop, like what we experienced on Wednesday. It started just after 7.00am and continued down to 5.00pm. Of course, the drainage system was put under severe stress and there was substantial flooding in many low lying areas, in addition to landslips on the hills. The videos of a guy on a board surfing on the street was real as was the guy attempting to tie his car in order to prevent it from being washed away. What was very noticeable was the fact that people who had to report for duty did in fact report. We stay at a small hotel and the staff were all present and accounted for. Speaking with other travelers the situation was the same throughout. This morning on leaving the hotel again everyone reporting for duty. Speaking with the GM she said that she had to pick up a couple people who were marooned in their homes, but ...

ADD

A great thing happened today. I washed my car and it did not rain. OK, so other absolutely great things made history today, I am sure something was discovered that will change mankind, decisions by world leaders for world peace. None of that is of interest to me because the simple task of washing my car was what was of great import and I marvelled at the sun and dry weather. It is the little things in ones life that give the greatest joy. Tomorrow should be the same with a prediction of only 20% precipitation. Two days with a clean car is good. I am one of those who curse WASA who has leaks on the main roads with spray flying all around and dirtying up my clean car. WASA should have zero leaks, that should be WASA's goal, I don't think that they are interested in any of this as the leaks continue and the complaints from the citizens continue. I remember in the Manifesto of the ruling party a commitment was made to increase the truck delivery of truck borne water. Go figure! ...
