In Canada, the buried bodies of hundreds of local children with direct link to an established religion have been discovered, while - In America, the hidden Antics of Former President Donald J. Trump are being revealed as chargeable criminal Conduct… In England, UK’s Health Minister lost his job because of Hypocrisy and Adultery and, here at home, our recent Governments are being investigated for Crimes and Corruption.

You may ask, why should this matter and the answer is; because of the inherent dangers when Truth is hidden from the Youth… President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation on September 22, 1862 but it took until this year for President Biden to make June 19 a Federal Holiday in commemoration of the June 19, 1865, announcement of General Order #3 to finally proclaim the freedom of Texas Slaves.

Bad Habits die hard and Politicians are still granting Police immunity to carry out their own Crimes and Corruption and Masters Descendants still feel Slave Descendants are not worth fair Minimum Wage… Such trends continued from Emancipation until now and this was depicted in a local song ‘I’d rather Walk and Drink Rum all night’; a response to Denmark exploiting the recreation and labour of Freed Slaves.

Shadows of Slavery in the 21^st Century:

Attacks on African Descendants have been commonplace for Centuries so they are not secrets - We see the news and witness the Injustices and, although, Education is Knowledge and Knowledge is Power, none of this really matters unless the Application fits the Situation… Furthermore, Education may be a Master Key but the doors to Fairness remains closed if they constantly change the locks.

Recently, 2 Black students achieved the top positions in their School but, before Graduation, the West Point High School selected 2 white students to share in these Awards… When we think such practices are dead, characters like Donald J. Trump resurrect them in their desire for their Good Old Days when, preventing Slaves from learning to Read and Write, blocked access to Information and prolonged Slavery.

There is no doubt that they still wish to fool us and rule us… American States are already passing laws to prevent African Descendants from voting to select their own Representatives and, are drafting Laws to block Schools from providing historical facts deemed to be beneficial to Africans… We may pretend and live in denial, but such Measures are designed for White Supremacy and the return of others to Slavery.

COVID-19 Passports or Pending Confusion:

At the same time, COVID-19 is as real as Racism and we should know about both even if we chose to do nothing about either… The Vaccination Revolution has brought much confusion from all the pushing and pulling, with no one accepting accountability – Some seem to be having feast while others have famine and, as usual, the past oppression of Haiti is such that, she has not shared in this Vaccine Bonanza.  

Meanwhile, America, Canada, Australia and other Nations are casting doubt on AstraZeneca even as we proclaim it as ‘God’s Grace’ - UK appears to be in a 3^rd Covid-19 Surge with extended Restrictions - St Kitts and Nevis face a prolonged ShutDown and, even now, there are reports of the fully vaccinated still getting COVID-19 and some young ladies having their cycles altered; suggesting early menopause.

There still remains more question than answers but the majority of leaders appear convinced that these Vaccines will open the Floodgates to Money and all that would be required for Travel and Trade would be Vaccine Passports… For all we know, the UK’s VI Inquiry may be linked to their own Vaccine concerns as regards present and potential collateral damage deemed likely to face the WorkForce and Economy.

Think about it - UK has her own growing Bills and COVID Challenges – She is answerable to her Tax Payers for Domestic and International Obligations like Salaries, Pensions, National Health, Overseas Territories, Furloughs, Stimulus Packages and other Social Services… Her Financial Desperation made her break laws and cut Foreign Aid Spending even though it puts millions at risk of dying from diseases.

Considering the Commission:

These realities should clearly explain why the UK cannot allow anyone to misappropriate funds at her Taxpayers expense… As far as claims of UK wanting to take over our Booming Economy and, our threat to go Independent? – This is just rehashed nonsense… We have no Natural Resources and the UK would happily release us as soon as a Majority of V-Islanders make the mistake of asking them to.

Besides, think about it – Aren’t they here because they fear that our governments would empty our Treasury, fill their Pockets, pauperise our People and turn our Country into a Crime Haven?... We can make endless excuses provided we also consider that; their Corruption Probe may be a lot less about looking out for our Territory and a lot more about safeguarding UK’s Taxpayers and her Economy.

As always, my deep concern is how the Corruption with our Civil Servants and Politicians is affecting our People… Nonetheless, we should all take this Commission of Inquiry as a serious exercise because it is internationally publicised and costing both the UK and VI serious Monies… For the Commission to produce nothing of significance would be an expensive International Embarrassment - Please beware.
