Our Laser must not shift from preventing & correcting Governmental Corruption… ensuring Health & Education as Ultimate Priorities… guaranteeing BV-Islanders receive Top Priority within their own Country… discontinuing Visa requirement for Fellow West Indians… securing Child-Support without imprisonment and… dropping Personal use of Ganga as a Crime. 

For too long, such unnecessary Laws & Policies have fed & bred our overflowing Prison with Children, a constant decline in Tourism, threats to Education & Health Care, encourage  FATCA and the new reality of Higglers or Street Vendors… Still, even as we complain of crushing hardships, Leaders in the luxury of fantasy, laugh & proclaim what a great job they are doing. 

Fact is, who feels it knows it and once, when things got too rough, we could abandon our own Countries & become Foreign Refugees but even these Host Nations are broke… Financial strain is so real that economically-depressed Caribbean Countries have turned to selling their National Citizenships as substitute for fading Tourism and threatened Off Shore Financial Services. 

This is a dangerous Road to travel and we should all be afraid when Leaders stoop to selling out their People for Short-term Dollars without being subjected to serious Checks & Balances locally or internationally… Whether from Blindness or Desperation, they ignore or downplay long-term Disenfranchisement of our Children as well as potential, long-term International Stigmas. 

When Words mean what they say & say what they mean the Truth becomes evident:

Too many appear caught in the game of Misrepresentation & Misdirection that has been used to fool us into not recognizing Communism as being Community minded and Socialism as being Society minded whereas Capitalism is focused on Capital/Money without regards for Society, Community or People – They even excuse unbridled Greed as ‘merely a case of Bad Capitalism’.

We see these differences demonstrated as different Governments play with National Reserves…

Typically, Community & Social Minded Governments function like Baseball with participation of all 18 Players and Funds are spread around the Field whereas Capitalist Governments treat it like Tennis with the Funds simply bounced back & forth between just 2 Players time after time. 

Another Traditional Game of Political Leaders is to ignore & do nothing throughout the first three Quarters and then, in the Last Quarter, generate a Political Whirlwind of frenzied activity… Retaining Walls sprout up overnight, Districts are bombarded with Concrete & Steel and every Pothole & Dirt Track come under attack from Bond Dough, Qik Dry Putty & Asphalt Skin. 

When we allow ourselves to be valued at less than 2-cents in the Dollar?

Some Politicians spend all their time playing these games with the Lives & Destiny of the People hoping that someone will somehow give them fake Legacies for work not done... What is sad is that they possess the ability to really work in the People’s Best Interest but for some reason they lack the commitment & determination and our People cannot survive under such conditions. 

This Game of teaching us to excel as Gladiators for the Amusement & Convenience of others implanted the concept that Winning is all that matters… In the process we become Cheerleaders against ourselves by not realizing that winning by the Wrong Person or Forces actually mean the inevitable losing of ourselves… In other words, we have been programmed to be self-destructive. 

The Evidence of this has always been there but we have been trained to avoid Truth & Reality – By feeding us a constant diet of Hopes & Dreams they blocked realization that these Lies were specifically designed to keep us willing to accept ourselves as Nobodies… So far they are succeeding because research shows Blacks as having less than 2% impact in the Business World. 

Even as Research have our stock as Sport Figures, Entertainers, Prison Inmates and Religious Fanatics soaring it also shows that none of these areas are Managed or Controlled by us… We produce the Bodies but not the Brains and the more we continue to live in Self-denial the more Religion, Courts & Politics are able to effectively kept us & our Children in perpetual Slavery. 

Calling on Lawyers, Preachers & Politicians to tell Truth & join Causes for Justice:

These are Naked Truths and I have tried to tell them as I see them… Furthermore, your own research will find Popes, Presidents & Heads of Major Churches are finally acknowledging what I have been saying for Decades… It is becoming more & more evident that, only the willfully Blind and Haters of Peace & Humanity will continue clinging to the Era of Dinosaurs. 

We live in a New Era of Information and there should be no doubt that every trained Person – Black or White - within Religious, Legal & Political Systems know the things I say are true and Reasons for trying to destroy the Message & I are not in the People’s Best Interest but strictly their own Agendas of Self-interest… Ask them, face to face and listen carefully to the answers. 

We are all in this together and the time has come to change their ways and do their part…

Even they should find no comfort in knowing that they have been instrumental in pushing their own People below the bottom of the Barrel… Now is their Golden Opportunity to use their Bully Pulpits to educate rather than indoctrinate as we join together & truly work to save our People. 

Accepting a Self-worth of less than 2% would be a Sin & Social Crime to any Real or Imaginary God… It may not be easy to change your stripes your efforts for Prevention & Correction must not be delayed – The Mission must begin Today and should not pause or cease until the Values & Worth of your People – my People - our People - are no less than those of any other People.
