No wonder Persons keep on asking; how can Trump be so bad and still persons appear to love him so much? – Of course, we know the answer even if we wish not to accept it – After all, it is no accident that such a large part of his followers is those of us who consider ourselves righteous and collect our programming in Trumpism every Saturday and Sunday on fear of being punished if we dared to resist.

Think about it - From infancy we are taught never to think or acknowledge that, until the arrival of Jesus’ character; our Religious Books were actual Blue Prints for Gangsters… We were conditioned to fear and worship paper so we would never acknowledge these Bibles as International Slave Master’s Guide and Handbook for Racism, Slavery, Adultery, Incest, Rape, Murder, Torture, Stealing and Lying.

Oppressors always knew that if they couldn’t rule us then they couldn’t fool us, so their Mission was to keep us in Ignorance by preventing us from reading for ourselves while Preachers failed to tell us Truth…  Along the way, we developed a false pride that blocked us from admitting that there are things we do not know – This drove us deeper into ignorance, rather than defeating our handicaps by learning.

Of course, there are many who know better but they will agree with the lies and even play along with our ignorance for their own benefit, because they couldn’t be happier to know of persons, they considered more foolish than them… Meanwhile, we lose Monies and Properties to the same Persons who swear to help us get it back - They may be smiling inside to realise that fools and their money will soon be parted.

The more they Fool us; The more they Rule us:

We act as if our Troubles are new but they are not - Wickedness and Corruption have always been with us and, long before Trump made them popular, Leaders found ways of making followers suffer… The little side shows of Businesses acting surprised at Government jacking up Charges and Port Fees, only confirm the misguided belief that some great power is looking out for us, so we can keep on sleeping.

Think about it - What else can we expect when Government Cash Cows are dying one by one and they simply refuse to downsize their Self-importance or Salaries and Benefits? … Even in the best of times we cannot extract Blood from Stones and these are the worst of times - Someone must pay; which only leaves Ordinary Men, Women, Private Companies and UK Taxpayers – Maybe the Governor is scared.

By saying, we are all in this together and calling on God more than Pastor Dollar, only fool locals while, Nationals of well-Developed Countries will simply consider us as ‘a little soft in the head’… Again, such Persons may play along in order to fool us into getting what they really want but they will never respect or consider the VI as their Command Centre – We are no more than a Wing to their Ponzi Scheme.

Even now, the hot Chatter of Corruption is merely Code Talk about who first got their hand in the Cookie Jar and how best to prevent a repeat… Today’s World of Information makes it difficult to believe that Politicians and Governors are really concerned about pains of the People - or - That a Governor who is appointed to represent UK’s interests, truly cares if our elected Politicians are placing our needs first.

Of course, we too are UK Citizens so it would be great to think positively but with her Brexit and Pandemic troubles hitting directly at home, their hands may be too full for Step Children… In this case, what may be far more likely is for Governors to ensure that Mainland UK’s Taxpayers Money is not wasted on mistakes by VI Politicians in overspending Public Monies to keep themselves in power.

When Labour & Immigration are used to wreck our Nation:

Of course, if the Enquiry’s Charges are untrue, then there is no need to spend the People’s Money on Lawyers to defend Ghost Cases, at a time when People throughout the Territory are hurting badly…  Furthermore, we are already in a Crisis with VIslanders buckling as Labour and Immigration appear to collude with Governmental Bodies (like BVIHSA) to destroy the VI Territory and local Businesses.

It now seems the normal Work Permit Process is trumped up Charges and over a year for completion, after previous Governments jacked up the Fees and promised a reduced time of less than 3 months… This even worsened during the Crisis with still more obstacles and charges, and even, when and if, these Businesses finally succeed, the same Government proceeds to take away the Workers for themselves.

Now, just think about it – It should be every Government’s Policy to train its Citizens to meet the Country’s Needs, whereas, it is acceptable for Private Companies to recruit both Locally and Foreign… However, when a major practice of Government Bodies, becomes the stealing of imported Workers from Private Companies, this can only suggest incompetence and malice on the part of such Governments. 

Unfortunately, this practice is proving so detrimental to the Nature of our Country that internal agents of destruction are already hard at work… The same VIslanders who use their Governmental positions as opportunities to transfer our local Businesses and Country to Foreigners, sometimes lose their own positions of influence… As a result, their replacements then still replace more Locals with Foreigners.

Many say we have a Corruption that will require High Priced Judges and Lawyers to fix but, none say, what Benefits will trickle down to Ordinary VIslanders... I do believe, we have multiple Corruptions that continue to separate Ordinary VIslanders from their Beloved VI but Politicians and Governors can fix these at No Cost and all will benefit… However, unless fixed now, there may be nothing to rescue later.
