This life of Denial & Pretense allows Spinoffs from the Dark Ages to deprive us of the Freedom of Progress… As a result, we hear the sounds of great Promises but actually live in a level of conflict & tragedies encouraged by Leaders who appear fixed on worsening situations by more senseless confrontation instead of avoiding the same Pitfalls that led us to these in the beginning.

Citizens of the World, at home & abroad, are being forced into such extremes that we become so lost & desperate that it’s easy to accept Blind leading Blind…It’s not that we don’t know better but somehow we refuse to acknowledge that corruption begets corruption & conflict begets conflict and none of these will cease until & unless we take the actions needed to correct it.

Oppressors have always feared the might of our potential so they become terrified by any change in which ‘minorities and women’ take on roles that were traditionally created for White Men… This threatens their days of ‘Power by inheritance’ so they will clutch at any straw that connects them to the Good Old Days - Thus their opposition to a Black President and Female Clergy.

The trick of replacing Monarchies with Democracies so the People will still suffer:
Fact is Colonialism is not dead and what we see is a mere reprogramming of the Old Oppressive Systems so that Royal Families are replaced by self-Ordained Groups typically referred to as Party Systems… Their Laws, Boundaries & Gerrymandered Constituencies are designed to keep us Victims while the Privilege of Power will remain in the hands of a selected few.

A close look will show that there are no significant differences between them and the Old Systems of Supremacy… Their Schemes are not about Fairness or Justice but simply a license to commit or allow the execution of heinous crimes under their brands of Conservatism & Democracy… The objective of all Hypocrisies of Power is to destroy those they cannot enslave.

We have seen this tactic of appointing themselves as the World’s Police in order to gang up on Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, Russia and the Caribbean while turning blind Eyes as Israel steals the Palestinians Land, demolish their Homes and slaughter their Women & Children… We saw this done to our People in South Africa and yet Leaders tell our Children this is God’s Way.

Furthermore, it’s no accident that they tailored their practice of Democracy to focus on Quantity rather than Quality for in this way the commonsense reality that one Good Person is better than Ten Bad Persons is lost in the noise - A most ironic form of self-denial since the same Persons who teach Party Democracy also preach the singleness of Religion in their ‘One God Doctrine.

They collude to confuse us into placing Square Pegs in Round Holes and accepting the theory of selecting 'Lessers of Evil' without acknowledging that as Less grows it becomes More and no sensible person should want more Evil than they already have… We all deserve better and should try harder even if it means reluctantly entering the Den of Politics to try & save our People.

The Mission will not be easy for our People are hurting badly and their needs are many… Others have entered with the dream of building Monuments & creating Laws… I have seen enough misguided Monuments and misguiding Laws so my focus will be on building where needed but also dismantling where ever necessary… My Agenda includes but is not limited to the following:

#1.. Ending Public Service & Governmental Corruption:
Too many ambitious Boys & Girls are becoming victims of the Corruption within our
Political & Social Systems because of whom they are perceived to be… This must cease.

#2.. Ensuring the Health & Education of our People are Ultimate Priorities:
Oppressors have always used Diseases & Ignorance to kill & control their Victims and
even with our 21st Century Advancements this is still being done… This too must stop.

#3.. Ensuring BV-Islanders are always guaranteed Top Priority within their Country:
It is wrong for any BV-Islander to be handicapped by those given the responsibility for
their wellbeing… It goes without saying that Job Opportunities, Real Estate Possession,
Freedom from oppression & the Right to progress should be automatic because if we
cannot survive in our own Country, then where?.

#4.. Removing Visa Requirements for our Fellow West Indians:
Using this method to make Money off the less fortunate abuses Human Rights & promotes
Discrimination… This is a bad idea stemming from a Colonial Mentality and should stop.

#5.. Obtaining Child Support from Delinquent Parents without the need for imprisonment:
This Law has existed for too long especially when the process of locking up a Parent for
Child Support only further depletes the Child’s Source of Income & removes the presence
of a Parent… It is counterproductive and should be discontinued from doing more harm.

#6.. Decriminalizing the Casual use of Ganga or Marijuana:
It is universally accepted that Drug Addiction is an Illness rather that a Crime and by
exposing Sick Persons to Prison Life with Hardcore Criminals you effectively transform
the Doers of a Victimless Crime into the real potential of becoming Hardened Criminals.
Nations are now changing their Law to save Money; we should do it to save Humanity.

While it appears that these Tasks must have persisted for so long because they are difficult I have no doubt that we can change things for the better… It sounds like a tall order and some may question my Political Ability in deciding to run for Public Office - That is your right and even if questions are malicious I will try & answer as many as possible… Your list already includes:

• Why do you think only you can save the Country?
• Why don’t you form a Political Party?
• What can a Single Person do?
• How come no one else speaks about the things you claim to have done?
• Why should we support you?
