Governor Rankin is the pharaoh of the Virgin Islands – Hon Mark H. Vanterpool
Hon Vanterpool made the statements during the continuation of the Ninth Sitting of the Fourth Session of the Fourth House of Assembly, on December 20, 2022.
Freeing VI from colonialism - Hon Vanterpool
During the debates, he added, “This year, when I was Speaking of the Sunday Morning Well, I woke up in the morning, and a lot of inspiration came to me in my shower.”
Hon Vanterpool said he was thinking of ways how the Virgin Islands could be free from colonialism and out of the cusp of UK rule, "And I went to the same Sunday Morning well and there was the governor looking at me… because he's doing what he's trying to do. He is representing the pharaoh; He is a pharaoh in the Virgin Islands,” he added.
Hon Vanterpool detailed, however, that by referring to the governor as the pharaoh of the VI, he does not mean anything bad about Mr Rankin, as he is still doing his work.
“But I woke up the morning, I said how can I inspire my people to understand that there needs to be let go from colonialism and slavery and the mentality of it and the psychology that we are under a rule of people and we can't make our own decisions,” he said.
VI must be brave enough - Hon Vanterpool
Hon Vanterpool called on the people of the VI to don’t be afraid and be brave, rather than look at the issues they think will come if the British Government no longer has oversight of the VI.
“We must look out for ourselves, and let us believe in ourselves. We have done well so far, we have a $376M budget,” he said while adding that Vladamir Putin’s attack on the people of Ukraine is because he believes he knows what is best for them, just as in the case with the UK and the VI.

May the gates of Ballo gates slap them on their behinds on the way in. We don't need a referendum. We need to modernise our constitution, elect mature politicians, implement good governance, and stop contributing to the corruption by begging politicians.
If he’s African, according to the local racists, he can’t be racist and he can’t have slaves . Man, life is complicated.
paranoid racists posting under several names and fuming about their
fictitious slavery yet on this and the other website they get voted down by a huge
margin. The comments that are short and to the point are all supporting the Governor.
We have been lied to and robbed from the people who should be looking after us.
I for one would like the Uk to come an assist and get this place on track again.
Corruption, greed, reverse racism against the white man has been excepted, let’s see some change.
The Governor is the one making sure that any thieving politicians and civil servants are held accountable for their actions.
through their mouths, rather that their rectum outlets.
The U.K. would be glad to be released from the responsibility however, they won’t do it until it is in safe hands and until the general population won’t suffer.

Hon. Mark Vanterpool, in my honest opinion, what you have said about our Governor is very dishonorable. You have reacted out of anger. It is not good to speak many words, especially when experiecing anger. We ought to give respect to whom respect is due.
If Gorvernor John J. Rankin was as you said, a VI pharoah, where would you be now after you jave falsely labled him? Can I tell you? I will. Beatened and after that imprisoned by him.
You and many done realised that the more you badmouth the UK's appointed Officials is the more that the UK will disapproved our requests.
Next time stupid a thought comes to your mind, use you mouth to pray for Godly wisdom, rather than disrespect your political Superior servant, that neither you, and the haters could have hired nor dismiss (fire) from his appointed position.
