Helping Governor & Premier find & fight corruption

Alred C. Frett

Open Borders & the Question of Corruption:

In the real world, Form follows Function and Education is the Key to Survival… Nonetheless, our Forefather’s only Degrees came from the Thermometer and yet they were able to save our Country and secure our Futures – Whereas, Today we have endless Degrees and Masters and Doctorates and yet our Children are worse off than their Parents - Maybe we chose Paper over Substance.

COVID-19, the virus that tanked Thanksgiving

Alred C. Frett

And so, it Came to Pass:

Previous Articles and Broadcasts have been so accurate that the points will last well into the 2nd quarter of next year: Donald J. Trump lost the Election by an Electoral Landslide; 306-232; The Roundabout Barrels and Strings have been removed so Traffic may flow better; Post-Colonial Police Officers Misdeeds surfaced in the Virgin Islands and our Open Borders Uncertainties remain in a constant state of flux.

COVID-19 teaches us to look, listen & learn or lose

Alred C. Frett

Learning is unlimited, Trusting Enemies is bad & Money does not circulate:

Many would prod us into being quiet and depending on Prayers and Miracles for our rescue – Maybe they never bothered to research our History and are interested in repeating a dark history rather than create a brighter one… Fact is, we always fail when not participating in our own redemption and Judases like Thomas, Walker and Carson have made us easier to fool and rule.

Freedom – Emancipation - Celebrations & Cancellations

Alred C. Frett

The Truth may not set us Free but it’s all we can depend on:

Thanks for listening but my message is neither tailored to please nor displease Politicians or the Rich and Powerful whose Bread is already buttered on both sides – I simply seek to bring those in need and fading Dreams a Message of Truth, Hope and Enlightenment… If the contents are wrong then please correct me but if you find it right then make it your obligation to spread the Word.

The question of making COVID-19 an excuse for abuse

Alred C. Frett

Making Right wrong or Scapegoating Uncle Tom:

Sincere thanks and empathy to all those persons and businesses who are helping others even as they struggle and suffer through this Covid-19 pandemic and other disasters… We remain in this together and should be concerned about a potentially bad hurricane season so all I am doing is using our past, present and future to deal with issues with the hope of avoiding dangers.

Creating a new beginning in the tracks of COVID-19

Alred C. Frett

Face to Face with Cruel Fate or Wasted Opportunities in the Year 2020:

When Lockdowns are all over and Curfews have all ceased there will be empty spaces in our lives of many who left us without the privilege of their Last Rites… A lonely passage made still lonelier without the dignity of that last chance for fond memories or sad good byes… Years from now may find us searching for those we never knew had died or encountering those we thought long dead.

Are boycotters the greater danger to the VI?

Alred C. Frett

You may have heard of guests on a talk show trying to personally insult me for taking a stand for the Freedom of Speech and refusing to be controlled by persons who do not have the greater interest of BV-Islanders at heart… You may wish me to retaliate in shouting matches but I see no need to stoop that low when we can first try to educate and uplift those who may have lost their way.

From COVID-19 - Trials & Tribulations - Racial Inequality

Alred C. Frett

The COVID-19 War is on & the Virus Battle is far from won:

Even as COVID-19 remains a dreadful disease it supports the old saying that the bad wind that blows up the Rooster’s tail also exposes its fine underbelly… For months we have been witnessing a disconnect from reality, a crashing of economies, a fight for equality and a universal lack of leadership… Things have changed more in 6 months than we ever thought possible in 6 years.

COVID-19… Harsher than I like but just as true as always

Alred C. Frett

Good Government is always for the People by the People:

As staunch supporters of Good Governance, we expect Governments to do what they think is right and, even if they fall short, we can appreciate their effort… I join in giving our Government that praise… However, until the Mission is accomplished, we would expect any good Government to welcome fair assessment and progressive ideas… That and nothing more is my objective.
