Barbados a decaying society

BARBADOS: THE BETRAYAL OF A SOCIETY BY J. MacARTHUR COX

I WILL NOT APOLOGIZE FOR WHOM I AM NOR WILL I PLAY DEAD AND ALLOW CORRUPT AND TOTALLY DISHONEST JUDGES AND POLITICIANS TO WALK ALL OVER ME. IF I DON’T STAND UP NOW, SIR DAVID SIMMONS AND HIS ASSOCIATES WILL HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH THEIR WRONG DOINGS. AND THEY WILL PULL IT ON SOMEBODY ELSE. THIS I CAN NOT AND WILL NOT ALLOW EVEN IF THEY CARRY OUT THEIR TREATS TO MURDER ME. I WILL SURVIVE.

1

IN BARBADOS WE NEED TO RESPECT THE HUMAN AND CIVIL RIGHTS OF ALL OF OUR PEOPLE SO THAT WE WILL BE ONE NATION INSTEAD OF BEING DIVIDED. OUR COURTS NEED TO BE FREE FROM POLITICAL INTERFERENCE. IF I DO NOT DEFEND MY HONOR. PEOPLE WILL ASSUME I HAVE NONE, SIR DAVID SIMMONS. Sir David, you have many friends in the political arena and the judicial system, even the police service, you are so looked up to not because you are a human being of sound character but due to your former positions in the judiciary, politics and the Bar Association, but your malicious and revengeful action to destroy my character, businesses and family life make you less than a societal thug and a major corrupting element in our decaying country. This is an all out war between you and me, I will not lie down and allow you to walk all over me, as you throw your weight around, and pretend that you are a god.

I did not start it, I only used my freedom of speech, my right to participate in government and to oppose those among us who use our country and it meagre resources to fill their pockets and buy influence. You have used your influence to remove all legal remedies that should be available to me. I want these matters back before the court and you don’t, you want to see me humiliated and dead and I want to see you before the court with your head, bowed in disgrace. Even a suspected murderer has a right to privacy and I was not one; still my telephones were tapped and my computers invaded .

This has nothing more to do with William Brewster, Rasta Willie, Dr. Coppin, Claire Johnson or any person else, you organized this brutal attack on my life, my character and my family. You have cause me great suffering. Your unlawful actions and hindrances blocking my efforts to seek justice have destroyed my businesses, cost me a lot of money and left me in million of dollars in debts that the insurance companies had to settled. You destroyed my character and all foreign and local business ties; I have a ten years old daughter that needs her father support and you robbed her of that because your drug lords friends and associates are more important to you than justice, honesty, human rights and decency.

What is wrong with our leaders today? Too many, like you lack veracity, they are more inclined to be autocratic and ignoble; prefer to be provocateurs of thing corrupting democracy. Please let us meet in court and get every thing out in the open. Do not be scared, I am not because none of the judges you 2

had appointed can not participate in any matter involving me because where ever there is corruption your friends are felicitous to the task of protecting you.

I do not hate people, such stupidity leads to violence; I pity you. Why? Can you drive past the many thousand of drug addicts that your associates gave birth to? Can you walk into any government office and see the number of living zombies at work, all tied to alcohol and marijuana abuse. Are you proud of the friends you cultivated and grew? Compare what I wanted to do for my country with what you have done and tell the world that you truly cared about Barbados. I want you to tell the world if any of the below organizations are or were ever accused of involvement in money laundering. Each and every one up to this day have a very clean reputation according to the Canadian, the United States, the French and the British governments. I know my people, every time a black person try to do good, they think he or she is a thief or whore and you did not let me down but you went a step too far. There is still a $30,000.00 contract on my life and as long as the persons responsible are not taken before the court, I must accept that it is out there. Did you check with any of the following before you set out to destroy me?

The Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency; Deloitte & Touche offices in Atlanta, Georgia and Barbados and East-West Financial Services, Ltd., Washington, DC. Then there were eleven (11) international banks and insurance companies who had agreed that if I came up with the proper business plans, they would support the projects I wanted developed for our country. Paradise Beach Hotel that has been a dismal failure because of government corruption. Sam Lords Castle that has now fallen under the Chinese corrupt influence. Endeavor Estates Development (Residential/Townhouses & Villas) and an office complex at Warren Roundabout (these offices would have been turned over to government and we would have taken control of it run-down buildings.

Turned some of them into tourist attraction by keeping their antique architecture, yes we would have made a profit but not the extortion prices like that for the Barbados Water Authority and the $150 plus million building in Warrens, among the twelve (12) projects. Check with Deloitte & Touche here, their office in Atlanta sought their association, I by-passed them after I was betrayed by a staff member of Cooper and Lybrand, who was rewarded by making him Chairman of the Barbados National Bank. Was it not him who gave you the information about what we planned for our beloved country? And was it not your source of information received from Claire Johnson, my favorite thief?

Look, Sir David, you should have gone to East -West Financial Services, Ltd. And you would have found out that it “source of financing for Latin America, Central America, and the Caribbean are worldwide commercial banks, export credit, and multilateral/bilateral development banks including the U.S., European and Canadian official and commercial lending institutions�. It works on a monthly retainer, plus expenses and an investment banking fee based upon the standard Lehman Brothers formula on the successful raising of debt and /or equity capital. Their customary monthly retainer at 3

that time was US $7,000 to US $8,000 for a single project. Nothing was cheap or under handed as you wanted the world to belief.

This letter was sent by Salisbury Properties Co., Inc. June 17, 2013; we have a long history of dealing with the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency since August 1997 when the then regional manager, Stine L, Anderson referred us to Carl Bazarian, President, East-West to assist us in raising investment funds.

Nabil Fawaz, Agribusiness, Manufacturing & Services, Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency, World Bank Group, 1818 H Street, NW, Washington DC 20433.

Dear Mr. Fawaz; Re: The creation of an Organic and Green Farm and a related Manufacturing Plant to convert our produce into finished products.

We have reached an understanding with three land owners to purchase more than one thousand acres (1,000) of agriculture lands to grow vegetables and fruits and raise pigs, sheep, goats, turkeys, chickens, ducks, rabbits, etc., also fish farming and producing special grasses for horses. Government have lands lying idle and if possible we will lease as much as possible after we get operating.

The sweet potatoes, yams, cassava and breadfruits will be converted into flour (if supply of potatoes and breadfruits is adequate we will produce chip and finger sticks) We will reach an agreement with the Barbados Agricultural Society and individual farmers/land owners to purchase their produce at guaranteed prices, quality and purchase.

The fruit and vegetables will be converted into juices, preserves, pastes, seasoning, etc. to ship to CARICOM markets, the EU and North America. We will operate according to their export rules and regulations. Their Inspectors will be free to inspect our plants at their wish.

The agricultural lands are being sold between $40 and $50,000.00 per acres and we have been promised loans and investments if we produce a Business Plan and have MIGA on our side. We will use this amount to purchase the lands required, install infrastructure, etc. and will go on the open market (venture and risk capital) to raise any further capital need. From what we have been told by experts, we will need investment capital above US$150M. We would also appreciate your assistance in producing the Business Plan, technical assistance including, the training of staff who are working in the field and plant and assistance in sourcing a General manager who will be in charge of all day to day management of the fields and production. This must be a hand on person who is not afraid of getting his hands dirty from time to time. He/she must know and be able to meet the standards of manufacturing expected by the USA and the EU; able to show, teach or call for outside assistance when needed.

I see this project as promoting economic growth, assisting government in it promotion of a healthy lifestyle and driving down the our government ever increasing health cost. If we as a people do not take immediate steps to safeguard the economic well-being of our country today, tomorrow will bring rampant starvation, increase poverty and social slavery of our people. We, the people depend too much on government and our fairy tale existence will come to an end.

I am well aware that investment in agriculture is a risk that many do not want to take but the private sector must act now because, increasingly the volatility of food prices are wrecking havoc on developing countries. I have told my friends and associates, our company must want to live long pass our deaths; we look at the lives of our children and their children, children because the political and social implications facing Barbados from an agricultural point of view is staggering. Government does not have the resources to tackles our agri-problems.

We have to build a state of the art plant, massive promotion at home and abroad, not just to sell our product but the value of eating natural healthy foods. If our people do not have food security, crime will rise, prostitution and drug use will get out of hand because a “hungry man is an angry man�. We have to feed those whose wages do not allow them to purchase the right foods because of the high prices and low wages. If our foods and fuel cost continue to rise government will have difficulty maintaining free education and health care with a continuously growing population.

Where the fuel cost is concerned we will produce solar electricity to use and sell to the Barbados Light and Power Company and if the latter does not cooperate with government to reduce fuel cost, then government will have to bite the bullet, as it must do what has to be done to protect the poor and the needy. The electricity on site will be separated from the agri-business, have its own management and will incorporate the recycling plant that will reuse all waste produced by us, We will either convert it to natural gas, animal feed or fertilizer. All waste water including rain will be reused; we will only use Barbados Water Authority services for drinking and food preparation, and other personal use.

Our farms and other operations will be open to tourists and the public. We will have competitions in school for students to create from local grown produce; too many children fail at school because of their diet, because you are what you eat. That is, children who are raised in homes where there is a balance diet or even enough foods on a daily basis do better in school.

Barbados does not have restrictions on revenue repatriation so long as all foreign investment are registered and transparent. Since we became independent in 1966 our government has always honor its commitments to foreign investors and lenders. Therefore, investors will not have any problems investing in our country and I have made it known to my associates and friends that we will be workers friendly, not only allowing them to own shares in the company they work for but we will assist them with housing and provide recreational facilities to assist them in keeping healthy.

5

I expect that will take us about five years for us to reach full operation capacity and it will allow farmers who have large acreage sitting idle to get back into farming and we will assist them by entering into contracts with them to grow what we need at a fixed price so long as the quality is up to marks and deliver on time. We will also take the sugar cane the factory do not grind, bottle the juice and use the waste.

When we look at the United Nations poverty elimination project of which Barbados is a signatory, these projects will assist government with economic growth and development so that our people lives are improved. We will work closely with government because we want to expand within ten years to embrace the Eastern Caribbean States to supply us with raw materials for our manufacturing process.

This will allow us to continue to increase our market size and assist those states to lower their unemployment.

There is no sense talking about agriculture development in this country if we are not going to process what we grow. One, our people are moving away from preparing meals at home; their lifestyle is overlapping that of North America. Two, the quality of our agr-products can not compare with those imported because farmers do not have the ability nor money to increase production and quality. You will find three or four here that produce quality items. I can go into Super Center and purchase carrots grown in Mexico and packaged in Canada cheaper than those grown locally. They are bigger than what the average farmer here produce, we need to upgrade our soil and methods used to produce foods in quality and quantity. We need to feed the people in the Caribbean and put more of us to work with better wages and conditions of employment. We have to stop fooling ourselves that agriculture is just a fork and a hoe with cheap labor.

We can only achieve this with your technical assistance. I know that all of the things stated above can be done; I have read your information sent, visited your website along with others and spent thousand of dollars in overseas call, travel and e-mail to reach our position and planning. I look at Israel progress in agriculture. We need to follow and manage effectively our production and manufacturing but I do not know how and doubt I will find some one here who can, this is where your assistance comes in to train and teach our employees from me down how to be good farmers and workers so to produce to meet market demand in raw and processed foods I know that I can rely on the Government of Barbados and our Ministry of Finance and Economic Development for support but our government does not have the financial, technical ability nor the modern skill and human resources needed to take our agricultural into the modern world.

We are willing to divide our project into five separate legal entities such as:- Management, farming, manufacturing, energy and recycling. The latter two are needed to control our production cost and expand our profit margin, this can be done with modern technologies.

We have held talks with two global financial and consulting accounting firms and both agree that they can help but want a deposit of US$300,000.00 with no estimated final cost. We have to go into Canada and the USA financial market for our risk financing and we are prepared to do so for the good of our country. I do not want to spend large sums of money without having people qualified both in skills and attitude to take part in management and every other aspect. I am not prepared to accept the local mentality when it comes to work; I want then trained to produce, this is why I am prepared to pay for what I want and get. Any employee not producing I will fire.

We decided to fill out your forms and application with first informing you of where we want to go and what advise received as to our direction. On hearing from you I will go back to the Ministry of Finance and Economic development to assist us (where their stamp of approval is required) to complete and forward the application to MIGA. Yours respectfully J. MacArthur Cox, CEO I put twelve years into these plans for our country and you Sir David took weeks to scandalized my name and character by ordering / instructing the police to arrest and charge me wrongfully knowing quite well no matter what happened there after so long my picture and name hit your newspaper my life was ruined. Did you think of the loss to our country your lies and mendacity would unfold? People like you enforce the believe in me that there is no God who knows and see every thing because if He did he would have known the man you would turn out to be and the night you were spawned, would have made your mother legs locked since you had complete knowledge of every thing I was doing for our country and you destroyed them for political and personal reasons when you had no right to but revenge because I objected to your appointment as Chief Justice. I had every right, I do not like people who beat up on their partners, now you have corrupted the judiciary and the police. Jesus did good according to the Bible and he was crucified but you hurt your people and country and people still praise you when you are less that the women and men on Bush Hill selling their bodies. You maliciously ruined my life, stop being a coward, come to court and fight and stop using the Judges of our Courts to hide behind.

These are the names of the cases which, attorney Kerrie Symmonds claimed he filed in the court and which miraculously disappeared. 1. Leroy Aulder $5,178 40 2. Sharron Watson $3,226.61; #3. Clevon Cotterll $$4, 818.00; 4.Christian Richards, $678.00; #5. Cynthia Callender, $4900.00; #6. Roger Quintyn $8,048.25; #7. Herman Creyf $6,100.62; #8, David Small $1,350.00; #9Ophetia Benjamin $17,300; #10. Jacqueline Davis, $16,006,29; #11. Colony Club $54,362.93; and Joyce Brathwaite $50,753. 19. All due to C & H Contractors Ltd. And Belmont Enterprises Ltd. Also check with Organization of American States, Petition No. P-1199-03. Letter sent to the Registrar and the Judicial Council dated September 16, 2015; Petition to Justice Madame Maureen Crane-Scott, Supreme Court No. 5, dated May 21, 2007. Also the letter and the request by Kerrie Symmonds to you 7

as chief justice for an urgent hearing in the matter involving Elizabeth Ann jemmott (copy of Mr. Symmonds letter was given to attorney Ms, Comissiong and never returned), this “Urgent Hearing” was in reference to the Chief Magistrate Nicholls refusal to transfer the cases to the High Court under Section 24(1). Magistrate Nicholls was bias and he confirmed this when he told me to “run back to the international agencies” and this made clear that my letters and other forms of communications were being read or listen to and when these matters came up before Magistrate Robert Simmons, he told us to take it to the High Court and instead of the Chief justice excusing himself, he bluntly refuse to grant Mr. Symmonds application so as to protect his own selfish actions so as to hurt me.

You were already annoyed that your party and government turned down your project in Christ Church and from what I have been told, the Owen Arthur Government was right. Oh, by the way, do you not agree that political hatred and revenge is killing this country? What have you and the BLP done to your former Prime Minister Owen Arthur is a national disgrace. He deserves to be knighted, not you and many others who have done a lot less for our country and are unworthy of the honor and title. If he was an attorney, doctor or white, he would have been knighted. Talk about racial and professional discrimination in this country. We are a shameful people but like me he likes to speak his mind and he has paid for it in more ways than I can recall.

I grew up poor but our dear mother thought us to be honest and respectful; so I am not off the same tree as you seem to have come from; the only things you seem to love is money and social position. Too many of our leaders are so crooked, they could hide behind a corkscrew. Don’t you feel hurt about the continuously involvement of our young men in gun play? Every death is tied to the marijuana trade.

Back to what I was explaining.

This was more than 700 million US dollars to be invested in our country; Paradise and Sam Lords Castle Hotel projects would have been completed and managed by a French and a German international hotel chains. All of the Villas and Townhouses at Endeavor would have been completed, owned and occupied. Thousand of jobs would have been created and the agricultural projects would have been supplying vegetables, etc. that we now have to import. Barbadians would have been proud of their country but you destroyed all that seeking revenge. Sir David, you are a little older than I but let me tell you something that you never learn, women are not utensils, to be used, wash and reused and this is true for men in same sex relations or where women wear the pants. You are wicked and evil, I hope you have the courage to face me in court but again not with your hand picked judges and party faithful.

Every thing I did was above board, clean and tidy; I followed every international rule and law, still you with a crooked and dirty mind ruined my life and both the Barbados Labor Party and the Democratic Labor Party protected you from prosecution and suit for defamation and criminal libel. You used your corrupt influence on the then Commissioner of police to have me arrested without any investigation and charged me for money laundering. You are a wicked and evil bastard, so since I can not get justice in our courts against you, I am taking you to the world court.

I am not a violent person, so you do not have to fear that but I dislike people who use violence against their domestic partners and nothing your daughter say to white wash the blackness of your character will erase the wrong you have done to your family. Oh Yes! You are right. I would have called members of your family to the stand if you denied that you used domestic violence on them and I would have called members, both pass and present at that time of the RBPF to testify that when they were called to your family home, you threatened their employment. You can not be right and wrong at the same time, too many of our males have no respect for our women and many women hide the ill treatment they receive daily in this country and else where.

Now I want you and the world to read on about the harm marijuana can do and does do to family life and the chemicals intake with that use. I also want you to think of all the little boys and girls your drug selling friends ruined. I do not want you or any person else to like me. I was not born like-able, no one is, this is some thing that a person develops, in attitude and character. Have you not seen people telling a mother how beautiful an ugly baby is or a beautiful woman in a brothel or a physical attractive man charged with murder? Beauty is skin deep, the beauty I adore is not physical.

The misuse of marijuana in this country have now come full circle with gun violence becoming an every day happening. I knew that we would end up like Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago, the gangs have taken over these two countries and they are climbing all over our country. They have better guns than our police and they are not afraid to die because most of the time their heads, the gunslingers, are all messed up with drugs and alcohol. These young men are slave to to the drug culture, Our country, its people and our culture are in serious danger, if we do not retard the wide spread political corruption that has become the norm and make our country, one nation, one people with every person equal before the law and their civil and human rights protected and respected. Every politician who used our Parliament for deep pockets are responsible, including you. ***********************PLACE DOCUMENTS HERE

We are one nation, therefore one people not the divided two Barbados we are today. We must demand from our political leaders that they stop their mendacity and dishonesty and bring our country where blacks are respected and seen as equal to whites. Stop the Syrians transferring money through South America to Syria and other parts of Asia financing civil and religious wars. We do not want people who claim “we like it we like it” who use our country to support their religious hatred and discrimination.

We may not like some of the other islands exporting people to these countries but when we send them money the crime is the same. Feeding wars and hatred, encouraging racial and religious discrimination.

This is why I know that the United Nations Human Rights Commissions and the Inter-America Human Rights Commission both stink to the heaven because they do not carry out the duties they were created to investigate and solve. Time to take the politics out of them and replace it with respect for human dignity. The UN does not punish states because it lack the power and ability and as I have said before we have refused over the years to honor our agreements with that organization, we talk but we do not respect our people human rights. Let us incorporate them into our laws.

I want our final Court, the Caribbean Court of Justice to hear my argument that our government is responsible when its agents violate our people constitutional rights, that those whose rights are violated can sue them also and not just the government. The US Supreme Court ruled back in 1971 in favor of the people and Great Britain have followed up. I want the CCJ to hear my arguments because this is more than a settlement to compensate for the hardship I was forced to suffer and loss of wealth and income. Our government owes our people an apology and give assurances that such Human and Civil Rights violations will never again raise their heads in our country.

The political corruption generated by one of our former parliamentarian, former Cabinet Minister and former Chief justice, displayed a prejudice that is shocking, hence government and our courts must act to ensure that prejudice plays no role in the functioning of our judicial system. I have a right to participate in government and freedom of speech to condemn what is wrong for our country and for government to appoint any man or woman who assault and beat their partners to be a judge or minister of government is promoting domestic violence, be it mental or physical. These acts send the wrong signals but you know what is more hurt and pitiful, that women vote for these persons as if they are saints. Now the lesbians are beating up each other also.

They are not, they are just as horrible as slave owners. Still beaten partners leave and go back to these men and women, I just do not understand the pull of blind love. My then wife and I rescued a woman who was unmercifully beaten by her husband and forced to live in a basement, black and dirty, not even fit for pigs to our apartment in Gramercy Park, in Manhattan and years later when Hazel told me that she went back to the man claiming he was her first and only true love, I could not believe it. Oh, I divorced Hazel after she joined the Black Muslim and started calling our white friend “devils”; they 110

will never be a place in my life for any form of discrimination or action that violates a human being rights to be treated as an equal person.

In the Caribbean, law and disorder is the name of the game. From Jamaica to Trinidad and Tobago to Barbados, the drug cartels have taken over. Crime is ever rising with T& T and Jamaica recording more than three hundred murders each year, most tied to organized crime and the drug trade; these murders include the slaughtering of women and children. No witnesses are left to testify.

In the 1990’s pot started to take center stage in the western world, both in the USA and Jamaica; with more and more students being deliberately turned on to pot and other illegal drugs to make a few rich with the majority having to foot the bill for crime prevention and health care. Marijuana has in more bad than good at this stage because we do not know how most of the over 60 chemicals compounds found in it will damage the body. THC interaction with the brain receptors triggers interactive signals that produce the high experienced by users.

These cannabinoids as they are called, the most psychoactive is the 9-tecrahydro-cannabinol (THC).

Man has now produce a wide variety of the plants and with this came differences among plants and the potency of marijuana continue to vary widely. With this selective breeding, some of the plants used today in the Caribbean contain ten to 20 times more THC than those used between the 50’s and the 70’s. We now have more than 400 other chemicals found in marijuana with many of their effects still unknown. This is why I support the legalization and control of its use.

Still I have to take a strong stand against the former lecturer at the UWI Cave Hill Campus who was sent flying after he appeared in court when caught purchasing marijuana in Brewster Road, off Rendezvous Main Road and then ended up at the Nation News Papers working. This idiot want to chastise an attorney for stating that ninety percent of the persons she represents in criminal matters are dope smokers. Every one convicted in my community were a pot smoker but he with a masters degree in English can not read and understand that marijuana abuse lead to serious consequences and he should give thanks to his family name and connections that he did not end up in jail.

Holland in 1976 depenalised possession of 30 grams of marijuana or hashish to meet an average smoker’s needs for several weeks, months later the Dutch became the drug capital of Europe with major impact on its neighbors France, Germany, Belgium and the UK. At this time the pot being smoked in Europe contained less than 5% THC (delta-nine-tetrahydrocannabinol), this is the element providing the high smokers enjoy but today’s cannabis contains between 20 to 50% THC content which gives the smoker a faster, sharper, longer-lasting high than that used in 1976.

Today’s users have developed a tolerance and requires more of the high level THC to get the high they used to and is retained longer in the brain and the fatty tissues of the body than either alcohol or tobacco (nicotine) and this is responsible for the debilitating effects, such as short term memory loss, 111

diminished learning capacity and lessened motor skills. Those who smoke heavily will find that this last longer. So it is not the benign product that Mr. Alleyne in his letter to the press would like readers to believe. Marijuana is not a soft drug and people who regularly use it, become dependent on it.

All over the world we see people getting into crime after using pot. This is not some thing that the attorney pulled out of a hat; this is a Neurosciences fact where these users become chronically passive.

Some users just crawl out of bed, get a smoke, hang out with other abusers; they do not work because they do not know what to do with their lives. This is nothing new. Universities professors of Neuroscience, psychologists and many other experts have told us these facts for more than thirty years and that many of the elements found in pot have not been classified as yet.

The greatest drug problem facing us in this country is pot, alcohol and tobacco and while I support legalizing marijuana, I am also aware of the consequences of people tolerant attitude towards drug abuse and sale that will grow out of this legislation but it will not curtail the criminal activities because most drug addicts do not work and have to turn to crime to support their habit. It is our fault and we should have taken more serious action against marijuana long ago but we penalized its use and let people think it is alright to smoke cannabis. Government has to determine if it is legalized who will plant and sell it; make sure that it is taxed like any other production and who can sell it to persons with a medical certificate and how much.

It is this mentality that is behind the widespread use of marijuana, more than alcohol and cigarettes while it is more dangerous than those two combined. It is a great peril to this country. The Dutch had to reduce the number of grams sold in their coffee shop to 5 grams and close many of them because they were selling more than grass. Our children are into every thing now but we are looking through our fingers, only seeing what we want to see because too many big up and better off are making millions each year financing the drug trade.

Marijuana abuse is a growing menace and a social chemical weapon destroying societies, this is why States in the USA and else where are legalizing it; it is the only way of controlling its sale and use. He is so hook on it after years of abuse that if he attempt to come off it for one week, he would go stark crazy. Drug abuse of any kind from alcohol and cigarettes to marijuana and cocaine and over the counter drugs have cast a dark cloud over every country that allows its abuse. Marijuana is the poor man’s atomic bomb for self destruction. He should know, he could not go to work teaching without his smoke. The female attorney is correct. He knows me and know where I can be found; let him come and see me and I will show him men and women whose lives are ruined because of illegal drugs. Alcohol does not lead a person to gun violence and crime but marijuana does.

People get drunk and disorderly, fight, even shoplift and indulge in domestic violence, but they do not use guns, swords and knives to take another human life. Look around you Mr, Rastaman and you will see the walking dead, men and women and children who can not spend a day without a smoke. They 112

can’t attend school and function because they are too mellow and high to think and understand; their motivation and drive is gone, they do not care about anyone or anything. There is total apathy but then you would not see this because you live for it. It is hard for a blind man to see the writing on the wall and even when some person tell him about it, he always believe that it is addressed to some one else. It is time that we start a campaign in the home, in the church, in the school and in every other walk of live to encourage our children to become literate and discourage them from drug use. Stop being mothers and fathers and become parents. The time is now. When I visit the Gay Bar I see the worse in my country, men and women worse than dead, their lives are ruined through drug abuse and alcohol. Not all of the patrons are addicted but the few smells.

We all were born in this wonderful place called Barbados and we were good human beings but today not too many of us can be praised for our compassion or our ability to forgive and lend a helping hand.

What has happened to the generosity and tenderness we showed to each other? Where have our integrity disappeared to? We had character but it all gone up in pot smoke. Marijuana has destroyed our culture and our humanity, Now we a small nation, over populated, are advocating immigrants importation of young men and women because our own are dead to the future but will this save our country? I do not think so because their off-springs are liable to become drug addicts also unless we take a serious step to clean up our culture and life style.

Today we have to import young people to our country to create a labor force for the future; we are one of the smallest island nations in the world and is very densely populated but our young people are mostly souped up with dope. They do not produce, they are not interested in family life, even robots would perform better than these pot heads. I know you are saying I said legalize it but I was not talking about the raw material but those parts used for medical purposes.

I am not saying that legalizing marijuana will stop its abuse, just look at alcohol and cigarettes use but government would be able to collect taxes to help defray the high cost at our clinic and hospitals to treat drug abusers. I know that there is some good in every plant on this earth but abusing them is dangerous, travel through the Caribbean islands and you will see what drug abuse have done to our people. Go on the internet and research what marijuana does to people who abuse it. It is not just the Rastas who abuse it, many of the prostitutes, vagrants and beggars you see on the street are hook on drugs. No sooner a beggar is given two dollars than he runs for a smoke, not food or a cake of soap.

Why? Every day I see men and women who use pot social behavior deteriorating. Men drinking alcohol and smoking pot minutes later making noise, walking away from games and sports when things do not go their way. It is the same within the family. Some of them hate water to touch their body exterior; their breathe smell bad along with their clothes, shoes, etc. Others walk around stealing every thing they can put their hands on to sell to buy more drugs to use and gamble.

T & T and Jamaica are no longer happy places to be, they have become places of murder, violence and low esteem with social failure, Barbados is following very close with the murder rate rising and we becoming a gun town with human trafficking expanding. All of these incidents make it harder for the police to do their job and our medical facilities to function within budget. Why? Politicians are corrupt, taking bribes, campaign contributions and sexual services from pimps, prostitutes and drug lords.

The persons who sell these drugs to our children and turn them into the scavengers of society are the vermin of our country and are just as hard to get rid of as it is to get rid of lice and mice. As a mater of fact, retard the spread of these other vermin, jail drug pushers for a minimum of 20 years, they have plenty of money to pay the best attorneys, bribe police officers and politicians and even judges. They also threaten or murder people to stop them from testifying against them. Go after and jail the drug lords and their bankers, go after those who take bribes and give them a minimum of fifteen years with no special treatment in jail. Let our law enforcement shows no favors and demonstrate that no one is above the law. Our criminal justice system is unctuous and obsequious.

A good example of these creatures can be seen at the Gay Bar on Rendezvous Road, where every thing goes; marijuana change the mood of these persons so swiftly and this can lead to treats of violence and animosity. THC molecules are admitted into the blood stream quickly by way of the lungs and head for the brain where they dissolve in the brain’s cellular membranes, which are composed of fat molecules, then, like wet bars of soap they drip through the barriers. Oh, yes, one do feel contentment as time slows to a crawl while color and sounds seem more intense. Like in Jamaica and the other members of CARICOM, more than 60 percent of our people smoke marijuana. The misuse of marijuana has destroyed the normal life of our societies and we will never go back. No matter how much poison we place for rats and mice we can not eliminate or control them, so too are marijuana abusers.

The Church and God have failed us, we now have very little family life to speak of because a group of people living in the same house is not a family; in many cases there is so much animosity between these family members, one would think they are alien invaders who only come together at funerals.

Marijuana is destroying our people with the violence it creates with a social viciousness that destroys all decency and respect for law and order. School children are beating up on their parents, mostly mothers, and are having sex with older men, with fowls, ducks, pigs and what ever cross their path while their mother are using their bodies to meet the cost of domestic life. They are hook on marijuana that is mostly cash and carry and if you do get credit you better pay up or the dealer will find a way to make you pay.

Men who get high on marijuana and alcohol sleep with whores or other men and do not have a clue what took place or with anything that walk; some of the patrons of the Gay Bar, who operate in groups carry on these acts unfit for human. Some have become dirty and disgusting human being but this is to be expected when Face Book and other social media outlets allow little children to see the filth that can be found on them. You see men having sex with fowls, pigs, dogs, cats and anything that have a hole in 114

it. I saw what the person who showed it to me said was modern sixty nine. A woman with her head resting on the floor, ass high in the air, a man licking the two holes there and she his penis in her mouth. This is not social media but electronic pornography. From the time children wake up on mornings they are on their smart phones, etc., if parents do not force them to sit at the table for breakfast or dinner they would not see them. Where is the God I was told as a youngster would protect us from evil and ourselves if we falter?

Have this turn to pot and alcohol shows a weakness in our upbringing? Is it that their mothers and fathers are not as paternalistic as their grand parents? Why have we stopped turning out real successful human beings, people full of warmth and feelings who ingrained in us a strong sense of duty and loyalty? Why have we stopped loving ourselves, our family, our country? There are too many questions that need answers and no person is taking charge and I know that our country will pay the price because the children who are hung up on and can not function without drugs will not make good leaders or employees, neither will they become good fathers and mothers. You understand Sir David?

Social leaders, teachers and parents, our country is in trouble. Hence, I can only hope that legalizing will bring some control and retardation to the drug trade and abuse. Praying will not help, our leaders have to lead by example. I am not talking about politicians and church leaders, I am writing about every sensible and patriotic Barbadian, save our children from the drug culture. This is our country, our home, save it. The time have come to shake off the plantation mentality that still have a strangle hold on many of our black people; we have to stop being more English than the English, let us be Black and proud and full of pride in who we are.

THC and other chemicals found in pot remains in the body for weeks dissolving not only in the brain but also in the liver, lungs, testes, ovaries and kidneys; so it is wrong to compare it with alcohol which is eliminated from the body rapidly while pot chemicals slowly leak from the fat and re-enter the bloodstream before exiting in ones urine.

Marijuana distort part of the brain’s information processing system, altering perception of time, while amplifying sounds and visual images. It also interact with the brain receptors, triggers intracellular signals that produce the high experienced by users. Many of them, the chronic users have developed a tolerance for this drug and needs more and more pot to get high. The more they use, the less they perform as a human being but more like a chemical robot; there are persons who can not start their day with out a smoke. Some of them use a ‘bong’ or water pipe; these are the graduates who can not turn back.

When one use pot with alcohol they have a greater effect than single usage, for alcohol enhances the effects of a neurotransmitters called GABA, producing a sedative effect. While alcohol does make a user vomit THC reduce nausea, vomiting is the body’s natural way of purging toxic substances; so there is no logical way to compare pot use with that of alcohol. Mixing the two can be a dangerous 115

move since marijuana use suppress the vomit message and with consumption of a dangerous amount of alcohol, this can lead to alcohol poisoning, even organ damage and death. This is the main reason why I support a doctor’s approval for its use and more so pot can deliver three times more tar than tobacco and chronic use can lead to bronchitis. Don’t take my words, Google it.

I have seen women selling their bodies for two and five dollars to buy dope; today the cost is higher, due to the increase in cost of the drug but the health risks are the same. It is not just HIV/AIDS but STDs and with government having to foot the bill for free health care. Then there are the children at schools who can not comprehend what is going on around them and leave school with out the education they need to live a productive life. We also have those who turn to crime as a mean of employment. Drug abuse is not an easy life, be it pot, prescription drugs, heroin, or what ever and parents, schools and the government need to educate our children that to have an education is to have a life. A productive life.

Apollo is a native St, Lucian living here most of his life but when he drinks and smoke his pot, people think that he is a twin, they just could not understand how one man could be so stupid and annoying; whenever he opened his mouth, he would speak of his hatred of black people and he is black. We have many people like him in this country, slavery done but they have not been emancipated; these people want to live and speak like the British our old colonial masters and think like them. He is a modern day King Dyal, aka as Hog Food, an avid cricket fan, whose hatred for his fellow blacks was legendary. I am at a loss, how black Bajans or any other blacks persons can hate their own and profess to be white when they can look into a mirror and see that they are not. This is historical brain washing where our fore parents were told that white is right and black must stay back. This stupid way of thinking is what have our country so corrupt.

There is good in every thing growing on this earth but when misused or abused there are repercussions and this is what marijuana has done. I do not know where our country will be twenty years from this day; legalize it and those who do not have a doctor’s prescription for its use, should pay the penalty.

Just watch men and women abusing pot with alcohol, listen as they take part in a conversation and you will understand the vapidity, the weakness and mediocrity the mellowness they claim they get from pot result in. Pot may also retard ones ability to learn and remember recent events and it do deliver three time more tar than smoking tobacco and we know the damage the latter can do. It also dilates blood vessels, redden the eyes, and inflames nasal tissues. It can also lead to chronic bronchitis, therefore why have so many persons flock to use and abuse marijuana. It is the sweet feeling they claim that arrive when they smoke.

Most of them were born after we became an independent nation but they are inclined to think white, they know very little about slavery and our ancestors because they went to school long but not often.

That is, being at school but their heads far away from class work. They can tell you all about England but nothing about South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria or Gabon and other African States. They know very 116

little of Mandela and the blacks struggle in South Africa and the United States where Dr. Martin Luther King gave his life so that black people could have a better life by becoming equal citizens with the whites. You know what hurts most, we are a majority black nation, with an all black government but we still cater to the whites more than our own. I am not preaching racism but equal opportunities for all in our courts, in our schools, in the work place and in every other place. It is time that our country motto be respected and honored. Pride and Industry. We must become one people.

We have free education in our country right up to university level, still most of our graduates are dumb, they can not think for themselves. In the years gone by our fore parents did not have to turn to marijuana, cocaine and other lethal illegal drugs to survive. Yes, they drank alcohol, mostly men but they did not steal to purchase it, they took care of their families including grand parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, nephew and nieces. Today’s life is like the cars we drive with heavy tinted window, we have no room within our life and soul for family members. How come brothers are fighting or killing each other while the sisters are sleeping with each other partners, we came from the same womb but do not live in the same world. There is no love and peace within us, Family should always come first.

I can recall when, as a young boy and I was sick, my mother or grandmother went outside and came back with grass or leaves from bushes and trees, made tea for the cold or fever; a plaster for the cut. Oil to rub you for the pains, sufferings or sores. We had very few doctors and getting to the General Hospital was not easy; these fore parent lived long lives and very seldom they complained of sickness, worked from sun up to well pass sun down. Raised large families and enjoyed live without marijuana.

Today we have children entering nursery school their head intoxicated with marijuana or other illegal drugs used in their home.

Now add to all this to the HIV/AIDS and STDs problems, usually, from having unprotected sex while under the influence of drugs and alcohol after partying where the in thing is getting high and loaded.

Some times they do not know with whom they slept. There are just as many prostitutes on our streets as vehicles and our streets are crowded with motor cars which have become social status. Dumb. Dumb.

This is why it hurts so badly to see so many young women out of Jamaica on our streets abusing their bodies, I used to blame them but now it is the politicians back in Jamaica who force these young mother to earn money the hard way to support their families. They are all “Myries�.

We have a very serious problem in our society which is split down color and money lines; black politicians do not sincerely care about the people therefore, they can not care about their country. Look at what Fruendel Stuart Administration did to our country; it was raped and sodomized brutally and what irks me is that as much as the Barbados labor Party during its 2018 General Elections campaign spoke of the corruption within government, it, now in power, have not lifted a finger in an attempt to place these politicians before the court.

The three biggest mafia in this country are the politicians, the attorneys and the religious leaders, all three plunder, seduce, ravish and debauch the poor. These germs are rapacious and greedy. The attorneys steal every thing the poor blacks have from family land to the little money they work for while the Preachers demand ten percent of their wages as offering to God who needs no money since according to them every thing is His. These parasites, then use these offerings to purchase expensive cars and build churches costing millions of dollars; these edifices are erected to feed their egos not serve God. The attorneys here are the worst, they only think of their pockets but not the laws they swore to uphold, therefore when a facilitator asked a man from New Jersey, “How is it that California ended up with all the lawyers and New Jersey has all the toxic waste dumps”. The man response was “New Jersey had first pick”. The majority of attorney here are not bad, their fault is that they turn a blind eye to the wrongs their fellow attorneys do.

Sir David you are not above the law and you must pay for the wrongs you did to our country and me.

Every day I wake up, I have to wonder where my next plate of food is coming from, what am I going to cook and drink, how am I going to pay my utilities bills, you don’t have to. I want new glasses, I can pay for them, so I will go blind, thanks to you. Your unlawful actions and behavior forced me into this position. If the government of Barbados, being managed by your political party does not step forward and make sure that my constitutional rights are restored, you will cause many to fall by the way side. I am an angry man, your personal activities and interfering with functioning of our judicial system in its rightful manner should cause your knight hood to be recalled. You are unfit to be called such. I recall that the British government stripped the owner of Guinness and a leading jockey of their honors after they were found guilty of tax evasion (?), your deeds are worse; you tried to destroy our democratic role of respecting the rights of our people.

They claim that these new churches are needed to make the congregation comfortable when they come to worship, in our small 166 square mile little England we need housing for the poor because it is one of the most densely populated country in the world with a density average of more than 1800 people per square mile. Our schools are bursting at the seams with children wanting an education and guidance but there is no person who really cares. Most of them come from houses, they do not live in homes as it was before.

Many of today’s mothers and fathers bears the scars from their dance with the devil. It is the politician duty to pave the way for our country success; parents have a moral obligation to their children not only for an education, but a responsibility to direct them along the right path to a good and productive life.

The Church was to be the umbrella that save them from walking down the wrong road, but all the Church have done is lead them down all kinds of sexual and criminal avenues; it has raped and molested our children and our minds. The Church has supported slavery, racism, homosexuality and gender discrimination for centuries. The Church is a terrible back pain the world have to suffer. Our 118

children have succumbed to the sweet smelling smoke of marijuana, cocaine, alcohol and sex, they are developing into unproductive human being and the Church and its God has done nothing to save our children.

Before the 1960’s when we did not have so many schools all of our children had a compulsory primary education, they could read, write, and understand what life is all about; today we have too many dropouts, our children that are going to school long but not often because pot have mellow them out. The Church have forsaken them, they only have mothers and fathers but no parents; they curse and swear at their elders. Our children today have very little education because when you can not decide right from wrong, you have no self-respect and just wander through life like an old robot in a young body, we know we have loss them. Too many of our children do not have parents to guide their path, they are educated through social media and the street; where the negative is more attractive than the positive.

Where will our children end up? Will it be in jail or on the street or dead? We need to embrace our children now. Prime Minister Mia Mottley, you need to save our children from themselves and the drug pushers. Our present future women start having sex around age five and our men are into drugs before.

Too many of our schools have lost their academic luster because teachers are fed up having to play mothers and fathers to children who have no parental control. Most of our school are becoming hold pens for children on the path to a life of drugs and crime, maybe even an early death. There is no more order and tradition in our homes and schools, our streets are devastated by drugs and gangs, yes, life is hard but not that hard that our children have to use drugs to stay alive. Our schools and homes must become the places where our children can go to avoid the chaos within our communities where the poor lives. Our schools need a very discipline environment to give both students and teachers enthusiasm and a sense of purpose. Principals need to get out of their offices and see how student and teachers are doing.

It is alright to feel euphoric but the differences among pot plants potency varies and that is starting to take its toll here in Barbados and the other Caribbean nations; people are bringing the seeds from all over the world and many of the users do not have a clue that the molecules found in THC penetrate the lungs, enter the blood stream and within seconds head for the brain and dissolves in its cellular membranes which are composed of fat molecules. Pot like alcohol when abused become dangerous to self and others.

When women sell their bodies to get money to buy drugs and men steal others fruits and vegetables to earn money to gamble, buy alcohol, sex and drugs, you know they are heading down the wrong road.

There are people who would beg for fruits and items planted in my garden and as soon as I leave home return and steal. There are persons who can not go work, school, etc. without smoking pot or drinking alcohol before the sun rises, men and women can be seen drinking rum and smoking marijuana.

119

I support legalizing marijuana because it use needs controlling, people like Richard Petko who have their own light to shine will continue to twist the truth about marijuana but if he and the other supporters have the guts to face reality, let them take a closer look at our society. The smile on his face comes from smoking pot and the high it gives the smoker not from common sense and satisfaction of life.

Children who smoke pot never get a chance to enjoy the power and beauty of youth, they will never remember what their childhood days were all about because they grew up in fantasy where you do not care about your future just the present. Going to school high does allow any child to attend school and plan their future, you have no imagination, no outlook but to smoke more weed. These addicts don’t congratulate themselves on achieving anything but getting high, crime and violence; their choices in life are half chance but the letters of the alphabet can do a lot for any man.

Education mean food security, respect for law and order, for your parents and others, good health and making something out of life. These letters provide knowledge and the skills you need to live your life to the fullest. Education is a long term investment in self-development and allows you to have opinions that counts in your life, be it as a parent, a citizen, an employee or employer but what ever you do your opinion about your life worth is important, so do not depend on illegal drugs and alcohol to hide your cowardice. Your life is what you make of living, when you abuse alcohol and illegal drugs you do not have control of your life; you are in a jail created by you and you will rot in it if you do not have the courage to see the light. Persons like Richard Petko have a conflict mentality and until he and others like him wake up, he will see the sun but never enjoy the sunshine.

From all this dope use come private violence including child abuse, spouse beating and rape. When we became independent in 1966 we had dreams of becoming equal citizens in our country of birth but fifty odd years later we are still struggling. While those who have moved to and living in North America can full fill that dream because blacks are equal before the law but not in the Caribbean, especially Barbados where corruption has become the national flower. This is because Canada and the United States have heard and have built on Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela struggle to uplift the black people of this world.

I remember when The Honorable Errol Walton Barrow in his almost biblical exhortation on announcing we would seek our freedom from Britain and The Under Forty gang went across the length and breath of our country preaching against independence but today they want you to believe that they had a change of heart. These, mostly young black male lawyers, returning from England after studies claimed that Barrow wanted to become a dictator but we had become used to his honesty and straight talking and nothing the Under Forty predicted came true because Errol Barrow’s stirring peroration was true and we believed in him, the only true Prime Minister this country ever had. Erskine Sandiford tried to emulate him but the back stabbers in his cabinet forced him out for their own selfish wants and from 120

that moment this country turned left and went down the hill of corruption. We came under white rule once more and still is in 2018.

I am not against Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley and her government because Fruendel Stuart and his incompetent and corrupt administration had to go, that cabinet was the devil in disguise. What he failed to understand and demonstrate was that when (we) government allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, …...(from Martin Luther King’s speech, “I have a dream”). Democracy will flourish, all men would and can strive to be equal because the road is clear and access is allowed but neither him nor his Chief Justice know and understand the laws of human rights, civil rights and equality before the law. Things are so bad that when politicians die, it take them three to lay down.

When will our black brothers and sisters be able to sing “Free at last, Free at last. Thank God Almighty, we are free at last”. What Errol Barrow had in mind when we became independent, was that our people would change forever and become one nation but today it has not come true. We own very little of our country real estate or businesses and blacks still do not support each other, we are a nation divided.

Many of Errol Barrow dreams are still unfilled or retarded by others who came after his death in office.

He gave us free education and health care but do we appreciate our country. NO. Come Independence Day and we say we do, just words, no action during the year that follow.

Some times I used to dream that Prime Minister Stuart, his cabinet and advisers were in a room, a fire broke out, the door lock became stuck, they were trapped inside. The CO2, 5,000 ppm fire retardant, which almost is never used in occupied spaces but government went with the bid from one of its supporters as was the case at the Barbados Water Authority new office block and they all died within second and we became a free nation once more. Then a voice would say to me that if I wanted to be happy, think positive, never expect anything from anyone, hence never be disappointed. So those corrupt politicians continue to feed the fated calf.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a great fire retardant, but suffocate people as it instantly takes oxygen content out of the air to extinguish fires. At five thousand parts per million it quickly become fatal for those in the room before help could arrive. It was not a pleasant way to die as I watched Stuart, his Finance Minister and his business partner Hal Gallop die a very unpleasant death with the snow effect as it rapidly absorbed heat, reduced the ambient temperature. I awoke befuddled but happy that the taxpayers did not have to bury that bunch and realizing that if I must expect the blessing of life freedom then I must support it without hatred.

Every decent citizen want the new Mia Mottley government to crack down on bid rigging, the fast lane to profit especially on government involved construction sites. I can not see any end in the near future unless government take immediate action; this practice has grown so pervasive among government contractors and suppliers that I can not think of one contractor who have not had to pay the piper either 121

in hard cash, in flesh, in campaign contributions, etc. There is a web of anti-competitive conspiracy.

These contracts are as dirty as the water off a rutting pig back and cost the public millions of dollars each year, each contract cost the public at least between 15 to 20% extra. Those companies and individuals found guilty should be banned from public bidding or any other public contract and government should tighten up the bidding process, some thing that the Auditor General has been calling for over decades. There must be transparency in every government move.

Many of these leading contractors, black and white, are illegal drugs financiers, they do not touch the drugs but provide the foreign currency to purchase at one hundred percent interest. Too many persons are into the drug trade especially those serving the tourist industry and it is not the small ones but the very rich. I am not jumping from topic to topic, the drug trade covers all of Barbados as it does in the other islands; as a matter of fact most of the world. This is why every sport body in the world has antidoping rules and regulations; time is coming soon when every employee will have to submit to a drug test when they are under performing. So many unspeakable crimes are being yanked out of the shadows of our dirty politics, in our schools and in our homes where domestic violence is on the increase.

As I have said before the abuse of drugs and alcohol have placed a different face on domestic violence turning it into a nightmarish realm and is a betrayal of the trust people place in each other; adults and children alike. We see on social media children fighting like cats and dogs; people have become more malicious and officious. Social behavior have shown that some people act as if they have lycanthropy because they act and think like an animal. All kinds of drugs are being abused, marijuana is only the starting point. You know that sometimes the best intentions of parents are not enough to reverse what a child picks up outside the home and this test the love and structure of a family.

Babies born to addicted mothers are physiologically and psychologically damaged by their mother’s use of drugs during pregnancy. Addicting drugs poison their central nervous system, resulting in abnormal behavior such as extreme irritability, incessant crying and poor feeding and these mothers now claim that marijuana sooth and relax them. It is these drugs in the first place that upset their lives.

Some of these infants, can not bear to be touch by humans and while a cure is possible if help is given, some of these babies grow into adult lives afraid of contact with others if not treated or supervised by a medical practitioner. This is why I believe strongly that government should control marijuana use by legalizing it; those who do not have a medical certificate for its use should face the law court. Children hook on drugs are very hard to take even by their own mothers and family because in most cases they do not have a clue what is wrong with the child. Living with addicts does not help and only make matters worse. We need to look for and recognized neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) infant drug withdrawal. We will pay the cost for the number of walking zombies we are turning out today after they walk in and out of school, leaving with out any certification.

122

The reasons usually associated with domestic and private violence are greed, vengeance, dementia, feral antisocial anger and jealousy. Most men and women will cheat, steal or lie but they can not bear having the shoe on the other foot, that is, they want to do it but can not take having it done to them.

Domestic violence knows no color, class or race, it can happen to any one. We had two Prime Ministers who used to beat the hell out of their wives while another was controlled and brutalized by his wife when ever she felt like. Pastors, Ministers of Government and even one Attorney General.

History has shown that there is no place more violent than the home, most rapes occur within the home; it crosses all barriers, the rich and the poor, white and black, educated and uneducated. Misuse of drugs has made the home a place where the victim humanity is taken away when it should be the one safe place for those who resides within. In too many homes there is a viciousness that is a betrayal of the trust one expect to be had from a father, mother, brother, sister, aunt‌‌..these are the people one expect to be loved and protected by. Most of these perverts are drug abusers and or alcoholics. I know of a young man who rapes his mother every time he goes home drunk and doped up, when ever he comes home, she has to flee.

Most violent criminals were raised in violent homes and this is where hearsay legislation comes into play but only when it is drafted properly as law and not as an aid to the police or the victim. Anchorage, Alaska and the Washington State legislature have laws allowing hearsay testimony to corroborate with other evidence; here in Barbados hearsay is used as evidence. This is where the problems arise. We also need laws where victims who refused to testify against those who make private violence an every day practice, are fined or jailed. Then those who practice domestic violence will know that there is no way out; human beings in a family setting should not brutalize each other. You do not have to hit a person to brutalize them. There are many form of mental and physical violence, some times words wound more than a stone or bullet.

We must rescue our judicial system from the politicians and lawyers who as far as I know have never argue against laws and action that violates human rights and there are many in this country and the wider Caribbean. The dirty politics that we saw and the use of Federal employees to assist the President in forcing his nominee on that country Supreme Court clearly demonstrate why Judges should be appointed in some other form than by a Prime Minister or a President because no matter what is said people will always have doubts about political inclinations. The US judicial system is safe because there the independence of the court, something that is not had in most countries, if any in the Third World.

This was clearly demonstrated in the appointment of our present Chief Justice, no matter how good he is, he will always be tainted by political corruption because the government that appointed him was corrupt. This is why every Barbadian must support Prime Minister Mia Mottley promise to have independent judicial appointments along the same line as those appointed to the Caribbean Court of Justice. I can not recall one time where our courts ruled that laws passed by government were 123

unconstitutional, it was left up to our offshore final court, first the Privy Council in London and now the CCJ in Trinidad.

This is why I can not up to this day understand why a woman would protect a man, who took pleasure in brutalizing her; who took pride in battering her face and why would her sister, Monica, who she worship encourage her to go back living in the same house with him. Once you get clear from a violent home, do not return, the beater never change, the methods used, do some times but the hurt and pains are the same. Maybe she just love him more than herself and that is stupid, one must always put one self first because you should not love any one more than yourself, even your children. I remember when my then wife saw her face she became so angry tears flowed down her face like a swollen river.

But to understand her repulsion, you have to know and understand that she had become a Black Muslim, They preached and teach that love and respect is never cruel and hurtful. Hazel was a good wife but I just could not take all of the Black Muslim teaching of race hatred.

Today we live in and work in hermetic “electronic� cottages where we can see into the future knowing that things will get worse before, if, they get better. I do not see any controlling of the drug trade, therefore, murders and gun violence will increase, it will become harder to let your drug dealing or using child sleep in the same house as you. The number of children assaulting parents is on the increase, you see it every day, children demanding what their parents can not afford such as brand named clothes, shoes, electronic instruments and other things they can do without until they start to work. Domestic violence has increase ten fold due to the abuse of drugs and alcohol, so it has become a high-priority social problem where punch ups in homes are prevalent and many victims are shamed into silence. All a child needs is love, education and a sincere family structure.

No girl want to tell any one that her mother molested her or a son that his father sodomized him; they will take out their shame and pains on others smaller than them and become disrespectful to their elders. There is no hope in houses that were once homes and are no longer a person free-fire zone, off limit to the malicious and the non-caring. Today there are many shelters and programs where victims find solace and help. Women, girls and boys chances of getting rape in this country is five times greater than in St, Lucia or St. Vincent; many rapes and sexual assaults are not reported because many are bought off. Women, the old and the young, have found a gold mine, especially young and beautiful girls, who creep up on older men, have sex with them and then demand thousands of dollars to keep quiet.

We all agreed that child abuse is the ultimate betrayal; no family member should suffer physical and emotional humiliation inflicted by another family member but this is what happen when a drug addict, an alcoholic or others is allowed to get out of control. Persons who are abusing substances do not know that it create a physical and emotional suffering, not just on the abuser but on their family and friends.

The cruelty of such abuse is most traumatic and abhorred when men and women prey on little children in the family.

124

Discrimination shows up in child abuse as it does in every other aspect of our legal system. Doctors should be legally obligated to report all cases of child abuse, there should not be one law for the rich and one for the poor when little children turn up for medical treatment with herpes and other STD along with anal, oral and genital infections. This class bias we see in our country must come to an end where cases against the poor are reported but matters involving the rich and socially powerful are push unto the table. Affluent persons should not be able to pay-off doctors, school teachers and others. We still have fathers and mothers who beat their children for being gay. You know what most of all worries me, when this scandalous behavior leaks out you have wives and daughters claiming their husbands and fathers are men of integrity with impeccable character. They hide from social shame but the dirt is in their soul and every time they look into a mirror, the will see the monster they are.

How can a daughter who grew up in a house seeing her father beat the hell out of her mother and illtreated her siblings go on air and claim that her father is faultless and irreproachable? There is clearly a class bias within her where affluent families deny that there is child abuse or any other form of domestic violence in their home but we know different. No matter where you live or how far you climb, you will always see private violence because all human beings face the same problem one day or the other and denial even when the evidence is clear does not take it away.

One can not say that because you are poor your family will fight more often than a rich family, there is no clear evidence to support such a claim and more important, doctors, police and teachers are less likely to accuse affluent families of molesting their families even when all of the evidence is there before their eyes to see. Money and social position close many a mouth and blind people to the truth. It is time that we in the Caribbean call a spade a spade. Bring equality to our small islands states, let no person be above the law. Look at all the men, women and children who have came out in the USA against men and women who molested them during their youth.

Marijuana along with alcohol increases sexual, mental and physical abuse in the home, this is a reality all over, both boys and girls get sexual abused. Homosexual abuse of young children in the home is on the rise within the Caribbean and incest among mothers and sons are seldom broadcast by the son because of the inbred love for her but women do molest their sons as well as daughters. Parents get away mostly due to official reluctance to take the words of a child even though medical evidence support the child. One child care officer points out that in a small country there is no way to avoid more damage to the child if the accusations gets out. But what about the child going forward? Can they live with the lie?

This is true especially among little children whose tongues can be vicious and mean to each other, they do not hold back went taunting each other. One time you could send such a child to live with an aunt or grand mother but family life as it was in the years gone by is not the same today. There are very few 125

families to speak of, you have relatives or relations and then children are reluctant to point a finger at a mother or father because they could end up homeless.

I have a downright hatred for men and women who ill-treat their partners in front of their children because in most cases the children throw it back in their faces and it becomes part of their lives. It is said that sexual offenders and chemical dependents have the same thinking patterns according to an expert who claims that they get highs each step of the way.

When I look in my yard or visit a farm and see birds, cows, pigs, etc. or watch TV and see wild animals and birds taking meticulous care of their young why we humans can not do the same. Our children deserve better than what we give them, they need love and protection every day. Little children trust and love and we ill-treat them. Are we proud of ourselves. I do not think we can. We see animals and birds in the wild pair off for live but man can not do it because we have the silent crime. Spouse beating physical and verbal hurts and too many of us love doing it. It is not just between man and woman, there is also women beating women and men killing men when they feel that their partner is cheating. Are we not civilize?

All of this goes back to the foundation of democracy where the rights of women and children are concern in society; this abuse by men and women is a clear violation of the civil rights of the victims and needed to be treated like any other act of violence. I can recall back in 1979(?) I believe the FBI reported that 40% of women killed were murdered by their partners and ten percent of men by theirs and that most of the latter was in self-defense but when one study the behavior and social action of many of those in the Gay Bar who combine alcohol with marijuana and fanta (tobacco leaves) they act psychotic or hypochondriacal; most of their lives are wasted, some of them work but most can be found there from early morning to late at night. Too many of them, those who do not work are just junkies waiting to die. They claim that pot mellow them out but most of them have homes to go to but do not go home on any given night; they have forsaken their family to become a relative of the cheap Diamond rum imported from Guyana and sells for two third the cost of locally made rum.

Two of my neighbors, friends but not close, died from drugs abuse and alcohol but what hurt and shamed me most was even when they were taken to hospital with some of their internal organs badly damaged. Two or more times, both pulled the drips giving them life support and walked out to visit alcohol, cigarettes and pot, the things that destroyed their internal organs. This demonstrated that both loved these drugs more than life and although people can see what these substances do to your bodies when abused, people keep abusing them. They keep telling themselves that pot is not a drug but any substance that change the way you feel, think and act is a drug. Marijuana place a new comer in a state of euphoria, that is a high spirit and elation making one feels they are in the pink of condition, seeing pleasure that is not there most of the time. There is no well being in drug abuse, be they prescription or off the shelve.

126

It is not just the above that are causing health problems, The sweet/soft drinks that mothers feed their children do cause baby bottle tooth decay and although government knows this they still allow persons to sell these drinks in or on schools perimeters. All we do is talk and talk. I do not expect government to keep it promises to control corruption and even if they pass integrity legislation, it will have no teeth and a dog that can neither bark nor bite do not need feeding. BBTD is a bacterium called streptococcus mutants that feeds on the sugars in these drinks including juices and milk from the bottle and its toxin eat away at the teeth. “Aloe� as we called him, was an intelligent young man who wasted every opportunity that came his way as was wont with habitual drug users; he moved from marijuana, on to cocaine and the horse. He was a man who spent more than ninety thousand ($90,000.) dollars in drugs, alcohol and sex in six months and then ended up in jail. No one could talk to him, he knew he was doing wrong but he liked the feelings he got from abusing drugs. He was not a bad person, he gave up his family and finally his family gave up on him. He was one of the two younger men who I appreciated in the Gay Bar because they were good conversationalists, they did not talk the stupidity that you hear coming out the mouth of most. These two could discuss from World Affairs and music to science and politics; their knowledge is more than text books information. They paid attention to things going on in the world they lived in and not gossip and misinformation. Still they could not take charge of their personal lives.

Aloe was a good person until he got his head full with drugs and alcohol, which was twenty three hours each day, then he became vicious and did not care if he died; on another day he would take any dare placed before him for money, like wearing women clothes including panties down the streets. He was more good than bad as far as I am concerned but illegal drug abuse clouded his life until he died.

The Gay Bar was not always as it is today. The first half of its existence, was more than a Bar; it was a watering hole that served food and drinks in a clean and tidy atmosphere. No bad behavior was tolerate as it is now; one would feel that he was on some great African plain, the air was relaxing and the atmosphere pleasant, so that one could relax and refresh oneself. The cycle of nature was always revolving before ones eyes and the friendliness was constant. Tourists repeated every year. Today you have to inhale cigarettes and marijuana smoke although it is illegal to smoke in the place; when you get home your clothes are stink with the smoke and you have to put up with the smell of those patrons whose mouths and bodies are offensive like a garbage dump’ It was not always a gay bar but women started calling it so because most of the men within were more interested in alcohol and each other than sex with a woman; I can not ever recall seeing a man and a woman quarreling in that bar until lately but men always do with each other, always want to fight. It used to be a nice place to cool out. Today, decent women do not patronize this bar, one visit is enough.

Too often the air within the bar seemed charged with rage, the entire place feels as though it is going to explode with anger. This is what smoking marijuana and consuming alcohol do a person. This is the scene all over our once beautiful country, a proud and once free people. Corruption is destroying or 127

eating away its internal organs. This is the nightmare we lived under during Prime Minister Fruendel Stuart, socialist administration. He was not an advocate of democracy as it ought to be as I will demonstrate further down.

When I see the number of red eyed people walking our streets, bent by the harsh economic stress placed upon them by an uncaring Prime Minister I knew that ailing Prime Minister David Thompson appointing him Deputy Prime Minister was a misguided missive that became totally insulting. His poor legal, economic and financial management ruined our country gave rise to the new Mia Mottley government running to the IMF and other international agencies to nurse us back to life at a price that will drive the poor further into social and financial misery. More will turn to drugs for solace, either using or selling.

The illegal drug trade has turned many of our young people into true psychopath, person unable to deal with life in a normal manner; have turned to marijuana and alcohol, then moved on to cocaine and other drugs. Some are using ecstasy which is supplied by the white drug traffickers who supply the rich and famous; they use their yachts, travel throughout South America and the Caribbean buying and selling. A man or woman hook on drugs, no matter how they try to fit in, life is very different from that of some person living a normal human life.

Greed and corruption in the Caribbean islands are making a mockery of democracy with blacks governments violating the human rights laws with impunity. The reason is simple, in small states every person who have money can call on some person who have authority to do them a favor for a price.

Barbados is no different, this is why we have two Barbados. In the law court there are too many selfrighteous prosecutors who ignore the truth, ethics and cajole defense attorneys to get a conviction. The success of prosecutors, according to newspapers reports is nearly one hundred percent where blacks are concerned in the criminal courts. Where local whites are concerned the score is very, very different, near zero.

Some person or organization have to step up to the plate and save our people from themselves other wise the ever expanding misuse of drugs will ruin this and other small island states in the Caribbean.

We must teach our children in the home and in the school that dealing with adversity becomes less a struggle than a habit. Attorneys and others who received all of their education from the state must include pro bono services, to help save our country. I am not joking, I have seen a girl high on paint thinners claiming that it helps her to tolerate her family; we have to stop being so unduly prejudicial when dealing with our delinquents and drugs abusers. I know that you can not take a cow to the pond and force it to drink but we are responsible for the large number of people in our country hook on drugs and they cost us millions of dollars each year in loss employment days and production. Too many sick days are taken when employees are not sick. Too many of our children are leaving school the same way they went in or worse.

128

We must understand that chemical dependency, is a very serious problem more so when you add alcohol to the mix to relieve the relentless pressure society force on our people. Too many are using marijuana every day, all day long. It is all right to feel brilliant and powerful but when the need comes and they do not have the money to purchase, they become edgy and hyperactive and turn to crime or prostitution. They know that they are addicted but denial is the order of the day; if you are at work or in school look at the persons near you and if they are listless and hung over you know they are addicted.

These drugs are permeating the brain. Chemical dependency is the most frequent disabling illness within our school and work place.

Some of them are on every thing, pills, cocaine, pot laced with embalming fluid and heroin; too many of them are descending into the maelstrom of crime, drugs and prostitution. There is a foreign woman named Onica Arhur who came to me seeking assistance in finding work as she needed a work permit so she had to have a job offer. She had very little qualifications for any job but a domestic or a laborer. I knew of no one who I could send her too and told her so but I would keep trying. A couple of days went by and then she came clean. She is a prostitute out of Georgetown, who want to complete her home there but need to make the money here to do it. She had two “Johns” who were paying her three hundred ($300.00) for one or two visits a week and she wanted three or four more to reach her target of at $2,000.00 per week but what really pissed me off was as I was shaking my head, she said, “you can get all you want free so long as I have the free time’”. Just then a friend drop in and she wanted bus fare to get into town. I took twenty dollars from him and sent her flying.

She called the next day and I asked her not to call or visit since I do not subscribe to her life style and I would not be part of any scheme to mislead the Immigration Department. The next morning when I woke up, she sent me obscene and abusive messages and a picture of a new stove a married man bought her claiming I was a loser and that her “Pussy was good” and I was a coward and a dog like all men. At forty six years old, with two grown children, could she not find something better to do, I doubt it because I believe she did not just start whoring and the two gold caps in her mouth kept shining like dog stones. I do not have any hang up assisting any person in any honest and legal avenue but when it comes to prostitution, I draw the line.

We have to stop living in denial, we must accept the truth. Too many of our children waste their education and opportunities when they turn to drugs and crime. For too long we have been warned by calypsonians such as Gypsy in ‘Little Black Boy’ and Mighty Sparrow in ‘Education” or the Watchman with “Attack With Full Force, Leader of the Opposition and My People. Why is it always the dope headed performers from Jamaica who preach hatred for law and order and the police along with sexual perversions except homosexuality. We used to hear from our local calypsonians good social commentary but the politicians would threaten to sue them for defamation since we have no freedom of speech as we will find in Trinidad and Tobago. We can not participate in government through social commentary and because our politicians are above the law.

129

How come the God that once destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah cant step in now and save this world from itself, especially those Catholic Priests who preyed on the young and innocents. How come God did not put an end to the gays life style? Is he not the protector of our children? Why has He allowed the ruination of so many youths for more than a century by the misuse of cocaine, heroin and now marijuana. Why are all of these ills plaguing our people especially those within the Church or God’s houses by what ever name? Why are these people who believe in and worship Him killing each other every day in wars and rumors of wars? Why do we still have slavery especially among children in factories and selling their tiny bodies, just look at what is happening in Africa, Asia, India and Pakistan and right here in the West Indies. Please don’t tell me we must accept the things we can not change; child labor is an aberration to democracy.

The only standard of performance that can sustain a free society is excellence. It is increasingly claimed, however, that excellence is at odds with democracy; increasingly we are urged to offer a dangerous embrace to mere adequacy. Hence, we see the failure of our educational system because in our pursuit of equality in our schools, we have sacrificed the essential goals. Schools are more than academics, it is where we train our children to be good citizens. We are suppose to teach them pride and industry, to be good citizens, respect for self and others; now don’t tell me this is the job of mothers and fathers because today parents are failures. It is government task now to right the wrongs these parents committed other wise our country is doomed, too many of our mothers and fathers are bad examples. They smoke dope, abuse alcohol and misuse their bodies. Sex is good for the soul but to make it a steeple chase, is no good; leave the jumping to horses and jockeys.

Take Sue a mother of three, whose son, she complained, cursed her and said that she was a waste as a human being and she then told him that he is no longer have the right to call her mother. She also claimed that what the son said was not true. We then went to the Gay Bar and within two hours, Sue was drunk and all that she said was not true became reality; she gave lap dances, curse every person that spoke to her about her behavior and was a total disgrace as a mother and a human being. She believes that it is her right to be a fool and that her son has no right to be ashamed of her for abusing alcohol, dope and behaving like a slut in bars and rum shops.

Persons told me that she roam the shops in Beckles Road, Bayland and those around the Garrison Savannah getting drunk and being disorderly. Her son has all rights to be ashamed of her behavior. This is what alcohol and dope does to family life. Our youths of today can not recall the last time their mother held them in her arms and told them she loves them, nor hug them and gave them a kiss.

Children need to know that they are loved, wanted and respected. When a woman keep changing children fathers the home stop being a cradle and become a zoo because it is hard for her to raise a cohesive family. In the end the children do not stick together as they grow older, they pull in different directions and very seldom do they ever remain united.

130

I know of a family where the first two children had grand parents that adored them; the mother became pregnant for another man and their father left her; his children continued to visit his parents and spend most of their time there while she was at work or else where. The daughter, the third child, was not welcomed in the grandparents home. This divided the family and the girl’s father had hit and run, so now she had to beg or pay some person to keep that daughter while she worked shift. Finally, her daughter was molested by the woman’s son whom she paid to keep her but the hurtful part was that her two brothers turned against her.

Their grand parents were Christians of the wrong kind; told them that their sister was dirty in the eyes of God and a lot more. This was a vindictive act because they never forgave or understood why she dumped their son but they were at the center of the problem. They were against the son marrying her.

Two wrongs do not make a right and up to this day those men and their sister does not speak to each other. Yes, the grand parents had a strong love for their son and his children but that did not give them the right to destroy the little girl family life.

This love for drugs and alcohol is a rejection of standards of behavior that used to be the guiding light for our children to follow and grow by. No wonder that our homes, churches and schools especially the university who are supposed to act as in trust for our youths have failed to do so. These institutions should have been the repository for the highest standards expected of our people. Now our government is just talk when it comes to curbing corruption and implementing pro-transparency reforms and this is what has influenced our people to do wrong and feel that government does not care. That their parents do not care and we know that the church is a bitter failure. People have come to realize that the most profitable avenues in the world are drug pushing, prostitution and religion and all three are bad; I know people will ask why I include religion but look at world history and at the civil violence all over and most if not all are tied to religion.

That all persons are born to equal rights is true but very few government practice what they preach, Barbados is one of those States; very few of our leaders are or set good examples. Life in this country is about money and social position. This is why I am against the widespread depravity in this country, we can do better. Pernicious corruption of the mind and body is wrong and people must be able to assist others in making changes for their betterment and that of mankind. Will drugs abuse, racism and discrimination make this world a better place. NO. Each and every one of us need to stand up and be counted and those who can’t should be helped. This is why a Mr. John Goddard, be he black or white, I do not care because all human beings must be treated as equals; there must be no discrimination because of color, sexual orientation or country of birth along with religion or non- religion. He should realize that whites are not all thieves, so are blacks, but it irks when ‘white niggers’, crawling and groveling, supports whites wrong doings against blacks or other whites who support racial inequality.

Let me tell you drugs and related gangs violence is well documented through out the Caribbean. We got into this mess because the then Prime Minister of Barbados, Tom Adams turned a blind eye as two of 131

his ministers and other members of his Barbados labor Party were allowed to travel to Jamaica and import marijuana and heroin into this country. Today you see the results of political blindness. Since then every Prime Minister of Barbados have turned their back on this catastrophe, that gave rise to today upheaval of gang violence associated with marijuana and other illegal drugs trade and use. The murder rate within CARICOM States is one of the highest in the World, I have excluded civil and political violence and we have less than one percent of the world population. Still according to Transparency International Barbados is the least corrupt of all of the islands and Barbados is seriously corrupt. During the period that Fruendel Stuart was Prime Minister, it is estimated we lost more than one hundred millions dollars to political corruption and this estimate is said to be conservative.

I agree with those leaders and other who pronounce that the destruction of our countries started within the home, where mothers support and encourage their children in their illegal activities, selling drugs and their bodies because of the money coming in but when they end up dead or before the law courts, you see and hear them in the newspapers or in the news broadcast screaming how good their child is.

When you sell your body, male or female, instead of seeking employment in an honest environment you run the risk of HIV/AIDS, STDs, private violence and unwanted children. I know people who sell their bodies to purchase drugs, some charging less than ten dollars and only they know what they do to earn those few cents. Drug abuse is worse than slavery. It harms every one and thing that it touch.

This is why I hope that Prime Minister Mia Mottley keeps her promise and establish laws to punish corruption. Let no person profits from it. Set a jail time of between two and thirty years for convicted politicians and their associates and confiscation of property, no person within government should profit from the betrayal of this country. We must return to the rule of law and that all persons are equal before the law. Next we have to modernize our laws, they are outdated and the new ones were poorly drafted, hence they do not respect the rights of the person.

She has implemented changes to the Town and Country Planning office that I do not feel is good for the country, the Chief Town Planner should be free from political direction and allowed to perform his duties without fear or favor; having to take directions from a political selected Board will encourage more corruption and feed inferior performance by that department. The same is true when it come to the placing of a former Police Commissioner whose hands were not clean to advise government but he had close ties with a late Prime Minister Tom Adams whose love of heavy drugs was known; now the Nation News Paper is informing us that he is back giving advise on security matters. If these reports in the newspaper are true, we are not moving away from corruption with in the civil service, we are cementing it.

All over Europe and North America the courts have reaffirmed that evidence known to others acting on the government behalf, including the police, must be made known to the defense but what our court have done is to demonstrate that the police not the prosecutor or the court, can determine what evidence should be turned over to the defense. These judges, the DPP and the police refused to follow the 132

dictates of our constitution and uphold the accused persons civil and human rights. A court is not or should not be a place of bias but of law, a place where fairness and honesty are displayed at all times.

This is one of the questions I want the CCJ to answer in my claim for damages but I doubt this will ever happen. Political interference by Barbados has begun.

The poor and bias manner in which the police, attorneys, prosecutors and the court handle criminal and civil matters you would believe that human rights was like a mongrel chasing a pure bread bitch in heat. I found this out the hard way that our courts are like a charmer and a snake. Two faced. It is all about money and social position, not law. I have learn that factitious is never synonymous with fictitious. Why can’t we have have tough sentencing in such cases as murder and manslaughter and close the revolving doors we call punishment. For example when a person drink and drive and a life is loss, then for a first time conviction a sentence should have a maximum of 21 years and a minimum of ten and hit and run driver should get two years.

A lot of things going on in our social lives throughout the world was with us for centuries; things that used to disgust us no longer do when it comes to sexual deviance. One time society disapproved of such sexual behavior and the prayers and condemnation coming from the many houses of God, these acts have flourished. Neither God nor the preachers were successful in stopping these proliferation.

The voters in Barbados voted in May 2018 to replace the ignorance and stupidity known as the Fruendel Stuart Administration with a BLP administration led by Mia Amor Mottley in the face of the personal, vindictive attack campaign against her by the DLP. It was a clean sweep to remove the most corrupt and incompetent government this country have ever had. It was a government that took every step possible to eliminate or tarnish all those who got in its way; it was a government that took bribes, accepted all kinds of gifts and favor.

The new Prime Minister, Ms. Mottley has promised us the same or more clean up that the former BLP Prime Minister Owen Arthur had promised but never got around to doing while he was in office. Since then corruption found a home within the DLP and status within government offices and employees, so I do not believe that she will be successful in producing legislation to retard corruption. I say retard or slow down because we as human being will always be greedy and the two are wedded; on the other hand there are ministers of her government who fought against every effort Prime Minister Owen Arthur made to implement anti-corruption laws and integrity legislation to control the greed of our politicians.

We need an Integrity Commission to ensure that public officials and private individuals who carry out business with them uphold the highest standard of integrity in the performance of their public functions in accordance with The Inter-American Convention Against Corruption. It is our number one problem from the Prime Minister Office down to The Town and Country Planning Department and the police 133

service. There is not one government department not touched by this widespread dirtiness called bribery and fraud.

When a government has to legalize heresy evidence to successful prosecute criminal matters it show no respect for human rights and the state of our police investigating skills and poor use of science and technology. We need to upgrade our justice system and completely separate the judicial system from the administration of government. This is contrary to the doctrine of equal justice and reasonable doubt, this law was passed strictly to support women claims of sexual harassment, rape and assault. It challenge an accused right to a fair trial.

Can you imagine a man charged with rape, there is no forensic evidence nor fingerprints and on the heresy of one of the woman friends or mother, the man is convicted. Legalizing heresy evidence without proper control and restrictions endanger a person freedom. Every person in Barbados accused of a criminal offense has the right to be presumed innocent so long as his guilt has not been proven according to law. It is not good enough for one woman to tell another that she has been raped or assaulted with the witness can see and ascertain evidence that her friend is telling her the truth.

Even some finger print evidence does not come up to scratch, much of it falls below international standards of 16 points for a positive identification and defense attorneys here do not inspect and question this evidence, They take the police words as gospel. In all British courts of law 16 points are needed for a positive identification; 16 is the absolute minimum for a positive identification and the same is true when we are dealing with reasonable doubt.

Where the reliability of evidence is in doubt and you can show that the evidence is unsafe, then the police evidence will be fatally undermined. That is reasonable doubt and judges should bend over backwards to make sure the jury understand and act on it. But in this black nation black people are nothing more than stray dogs to black politicians, this is the reason why government after government has refused to make part of our constitution the United Nations and The Organization of American States conventions on Human Rights. There is very little respect for the Civil and Human Rights of black people be it in Africa or the Caribbean, black people are treat badly. Worst than in South Africa, Canada, USA and Europe. Why? Because it is black people who are ill treating other black people and keeping them down.

Too many of our young men right to a fair trial is denied. They have no guarantees of a hearing within a reasonable time but when an accused is on bail or in prison, have waited more than four years and as long as seven years without a trial start, then this is not a fair trial. Also when you give his attorney a copy of the charges and not him, this is not right unless the attorney allow him to read it and then go through it with him or her. The attorney has the duty to make sure that his client know exactly what is written before he start giving his client advise, Look, a man charged with robbery of a Ms. Jones and this may all he knows, he does not know how, when and where this act took place or of all of the 134

evidence against him until the morning of the trial. It is his attorney duty to make sure his client is well verse in the charges and advise him accordingly; if this was done many of the cases that are back logged would have been cleared from the court calendar.

Many an accuse spend between two and four year in the magistrate court going through a committal hearing with out prior notification, in detail, of the charges against him. No trial should start without the accused having received all of the evidence against him and have had adequate time and means for the preparation of his defense.

Now government has passed legislation compelling an accused to testify against himself. If he does not answer police questions, this can be used against him to show guilt. It is wrong to be compelled as a suspect or an accused to be a witness against oneself. Our people are treated worst than cattle in our criminal court, slavery not done here in this country. We brutalize and deny them equal justice and democracy, not only within the judicial system but in every walk of life. Just look around you and if you like what you see, then you are dumber than you think or know.

No one in Barbados should be deprived of his or her personal liberty and subjected to arbitrary arrest or imprisonment as Sir David Simmons did to me and then I was only verbally informed of the reasons for my detention and was not promptly notified of the charges against me. I was deprived of my liberty and I was refused recourse to the next competent court by the Chief Magistrate and then judges appointed by the Barbados labor Party. This remedy is not to be restricted or abolished and mine was by nearly every judge from the Chief Justice down. Every one of my guarantee of the Right to a fair trial was denied to protect Sir David Simmons and his friends from the right to defend myself. I was also mistreated when my attorney Allan Carter, now deceased wanted me to be a witness against myself and to plea guilty. He also refused me my right to appeal to a higher court.

They corrupt judicial offers conspired to deny me the right to defend myself and to be assisted by legal counsel of my own choosing. I was deliberately prohibited from examining witnesses present in court and to obtain the appearance, as witnesses, of experts or other persons to throw light on the facts. Now these same persons have ganged up to deny me my right to compensation and privacy; there is constant efforts of arbitrary and abusive interference with my private life, my family, my home and my correspondence and unlimited unlawful attacks on my honor and reputation. Every Barbadian has the right to the protection of the law against such interference and attack.

Why these attacks? I used my freedom of conscience, thought and expression to prohibit the then Prime Minister from appointing David Simmons as Chief Justice on the grounds that such an appointment would place our national security, public order, public health and morals at risk. He in turn had me arrested and my businesses destroyed without due respect for my rights and reputation. If he had found my letter to the Nation Newspaper defaming he should have taken legal action. He choose to go down the criminal way when he had the right to reply if he was injured by inaccurate or offensive statements 135

or ideas he had legal means including replying to my letter. More so the newspaper at that time was owned by members of the BLP including him. He had every opportunity to do the right thing and he refused.

Such action by him denied me my right to my family and freedom of association, my little girl is paying the price of his cruelty; her mother have taken her down the wrong path of abusing the elderly members of her family when she ask for things and do not get them. This is a very dangerous road to take in life, it leads to abuse by both men and women; in this country nothing is free and when I spoke with the mother after receiving numerous complaints by both the young and the old; I was told that it was none of my business. Then I found out she had lied to one of her brothers requesting a large sum of money for school fees when there is free education in this country at all public schools. I told her that it was dishonest and I told my son, her brother so. The mother abused me and she took her picture off her Whatsapp connection and refused to speak to me. I asked two of my sons and her brothers to speak to her because if she did not clean up her act, I would seek help from the Child care Board to take her back on the right path. She live in the City and life there is mostly prostitute, drugs and criminal gangs; her brothers all smoke marijuana and only one work the other gamble and use illegal drug. They were not always criminally bent but our city life has become hard. It is worst that living in Harlem.

The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the state. Every minor child has the right to the measures of protection required by his/her condition as a minor on the part of the family, society and the state. Twenty two years ago, I bought a house for her mother costing three hundred and twenty ($320,000.00) and her mother refused to move in claiming she was a City Girl and I only found out what she meant in 2019; if I knew then what she meant I would have walked away. I don’t blame her, I blame my ignorance and believing in people.

All of these things are tied to my illegal arrest orchestrated by Sir David Simmons, a former Chief Justice of this country because I used my right to participate in government, he has denied me my right to equal protection of the law. This means Chief Justice Sir Marston Gibson that all persons are equal before the law, consequently, I am entitled without discrimination, to equal protection of the law and I hope that the present Minister of home Affairs and Attorney General under stand this along with the Disciplinary Committee of the Bar Association and the Registrar of the Supreme Court.

Every person in Barbados has the right to simple and prompt recourse, or any other effective recourse, to a competent court for protection against acts that violate my fundamental rights recognized by the constitution or law of the state concerned or by the UN and The OAS even though such violations may have been committed by persons acting in the course of their official duties. So Mr. Attorney General, is it not your duty as government chief legal adviser to under take to ensure that my claim for such remedy shall have the rights determined by a competent authority provided for by our legal system and to develop the possibilities of judicial remedy and to ensure that the competent authorities shall enforce 136

such remedies when granted. Is our government going to stand and watch this political discrimination destroy our country because I will continue to fight until the day I die.

Here in Barbados, we, like the Jamaica culture more than our own, we play their music more than our own; closely followed by that out of the USA and England. The same is true of local movies and videos. In short, black people are our worst enemies, don’t take my words for it; look at every black ruled country and you will see the betrayal, the pain, the suffering and neglect. Whites still rule every black country, it does not matter how black the political administration is, whites have the money and the know how for development and they do bribe or own the black leaders. Just look at the Chinese in Africa and the Caribbean re-colonizing those countries. Very few black countries are politically independent.

Corrupt politicians in non black country go to jail for stealing and selling out their country but we honor our political thieves. We must understand that our action have consequences and too many of ours politicians like certain members of the Fruendel Stuart government were not only embarrassing but disgraceful. Dishonesty never does have an angel face and we must take responsibility for our action. The new Prime Minister, Mia Amor Mottley government, that replaced that corrupt bunch of crooks (those within the previous administration that were so inclined, not all of the cabinet members are or were corrupt) would have done very little to bring those who stole millions of our taxpayers dollars to justice so that they will end up in jail and disgraced but then in this country so long as you have money, you have respect. Everything in this country is for sale, including justice and respect. Well criminal legislation can not be retroactive or retrospective. I include all because those who were not corrupt knew what was going on and did nothing; the same is true of the Bar Association, there are a few dishonest attorneys but the association cover for them.

Only two Caribbean countries passed such legislation in the early 80’s, Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana. The latter was an attempt by Forbes Burnham government to jail three men for some thing that was legal when done by making it illegal and that was wrong. T & T legislation, was civil to restore property owners legal rights that were omitted from the constitution when it became independent.

Political corruption demoralize, debase and defile a society; it leads to crime and violence, pervert the country culture and contaminate people souls and minds. This is what Fruendel Stuart as Prime Minister allowed; corruption that spread under his leadership to cover our people in a vicious, infected criminal culture, like a dirty linen cloth over the breakfast table. It was a wicked, rotten and profligate Cabinet. He stood silent and inactive and allowed rot to set in; he did not have the decency or courage to talk to the people. He hid like a skunk and only the smell told where he was hiding in plain sight.

Government officials allowed the importation of illegal drugs and guns for a price; when government employees are caught doing wrong, they are not taken before the court like the criminal they are but 137

forced to retire and allowed to keep their ill gotten gains. The silence and cover up of these criminal acts by government, I call political corruption and I have been doing so for more than forty years. This is why I have so many political enemies along with my share of pain and suffering but I will never apologize for who or what I am. I will die with my integrity and dignity intact, I was never for sale, lend or borrowed.

We say we are a democratic country but if this is true then our democracy have Rheumatoid Arthritis , this disease began spreading after our independence in 1966 from colonial rule and mental slavery which still exist. It started with the like of Joy Edwards, a minister in Prime Minister Errol Barrow government and many more followed over the years with at least two Prime Ministers leading the way.

Our governments incompetent, as the corruption began to spread with the swelling in the hands and feet and eventually in 2018 financial and social crippling came running home to each and every person but it was too late. It had to go and near the end of May, they were washed out, not swept because sweeping leave dust.

As I have said before, we now have to import young men and women because ours are too doped up to work or even live a constructive life, thanks to marijuana and other drugs. Many hope that the new Mia Mottley administration will be the antibiotic needed to take us back to democracy and integrity or at least lessen the symptoms of corruption dramatically. It hurt me to see men in their fifties and sixties walking about with their pants dropping off their ass and women in the same age range walking about with their breast falling out, some not wearing panties and bras under their short skirts. Is there any doubt where the wrong turn in our society started. These rude persons are the product of their mothers who allowed them to feed off drugs. No person, child, wife, or any person else can use illegal drugs and stay under my roof.

When I was living in Grazettes, I knew of a young man who sold even the new sheets off his mother bed to purchase dope, he stole from his sister and brothers and every time the police arrested him, his mother was there bailing him out. His addiction separated and destroyed his family unity.

I am from the old school and as a little boy read the dictionary and one day I was amused to learn that heather is a kind of shrub and heather mixture. a fabrication of mixed hues, therefore when you come across a woman of that name, one should expect various smells. I know one that ran to church every chance she got but still slept with every man that came to her boyfriend door. Then later in life she did the same thing with her children father she slept every where she heard ‘drop your drawers’ be it the butcher, the sheep farmer, the contractor and mason, the cook and the last thing she did was take her yatch and dock it on Golf club Road, then walked up through the back road and picked up saw dust in her hair but she had nothing to worry about she was on her way to work.

She work in a Gay Shop, if one can call it that for it is not exclusively all homosexuals, any person can drop in but she minds every person business and always seem to have an itch that want scratching; she 138

is not attractive if you are looking for a woman to take out, only if you just want to ease your sex drive for the day. Still she will tell you that her children father should get rid of the other woman and save money. That he has to pay her out of his pension and while that may be true, she should be fired, ninety nine percent of the people who visit the bar does not deal with her twice. She is rude, insipid and stupid, every thing that happen there she broadcast, she does not make enough sales to cover her weekly wage, so the man has to use his pension to pay her, heather is a bitter bush. The bar would make money if the owner had enough balls to fire her and let the other woman run it but he does not want to offend their children. Go in Cattle Town and you will see her.

You know I understand the frustration young people are going through, the areas for employment opportunity are limited, to agriculture, craft, entertainment, drugs and prostitution; agriculture is limited because most of the land is white owned and by government. The latter has, for years not a clue on how to grow food instead of importing it, it should lead by example. Government land lease policy is flawed because of ignorance, poor management and political corruption. There are too many restrictions on the land use, there are no utilities and you can not fence it in, so the thieves can visit at will; why are these failure so hard for these men and women with masters degrees in business and agriculture to see?

They are civil servants. They have never understood that if you drive on the road like you own it, you will get hurt or hurt some one else. Drive as if you own the vehicle because the choices we make today will shape our country fifty years from now and into the next century.

You lease land from government and you can not even place a portable toilet on the land, how are human beings to work in such conditions in this day and age? There must be toilets and baths so that the employees can shower before going home, can your see a woman who worked all day in the sun, getting on a bus, hot, sweating and dirty Then there is the dumb policy of not allowing the land to be fenced in to stop thieves and there is no water or electricity on site. There are investment opportunities in with the risk but there is the potential for significant capital gain once government employees who manage it lands lease policy take their heads out of their ass and see that they are doing more harm than good. This is why agriculture is so stagnated, the people at the top should be at the bottom; they can not think about tomorrow, they are not innovative, they are a burden on the taxpayer’s purse.

Political corruption with in the Barbados Labor Party and the Democratic Labor Party have bred inept, incompetent and unskilled workers out of people whose education documents say they can or should produce but the atmosphere in the workplace would not allow them to think productive. This inelegance has spread to the house and churches where in elasticity and flabbiness is not only in over weight people but in their mind set. This corrugated corruption within our society have demoralized our people and our country progress. This corruption mind set that money, society climbing and positioning is an act that demoralize, degrade, pervert and contaminate every nerve and vessel in our bodies. In 2018 we saw the dangerous overflow that political corruption breed.

139

I believe that there is corruption in every country but many have laws governing employees behavior and action in the work place, we have none and in this context we are behind in our democratic progress to improve the humanity of our people in the Caribbean. Look, even the United Nations is at a loss when it come to do what is right. You doubt me?

In late 1992 when allegations started to appear in the press concerning the behavior of Aly Teymour, the United Nations chief protocol officer that he was making sexual advances to young male staffers, when The Times of London asked a top UN official what action the Secretary General was going to take he said nothing because his name was not published in the newspapers. Then to the surprise of many the press told us that Secretary General Boutrros Boutros-Gali reappointed Teymour as Assistant Secretary General, earning more than $120,000. salary ignoring the complaints by Arab and other diplomats that Teymour was an embarrassment.

The United Nations was founded to help people but is seems that it is only interested in helping itself, therefore, when it ignores the complaints of individuals, you will understand how it operate and will continue to do so because it is self serving. Remember the Ethiopian famine? Remember many people died? What the UN did, voted $73.5 million to build a conference center in Addis Ababa that took more than twelve years to complete with the cost spiraling to more than $110 million, call it by what ever name you choose but it will remind you of the new Dodds Prison and the Barbados Water Authority new office building.

Many countries have called for reform at the UN but none have shown up and a lady that I have a lot of respect for, former US Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick who describe the UN as covered in widespread waste, profiteering, over staffing and mismanagement. Today the UN is a pillar of stone suppose to protect the human rights of all people but if the press does not make the first call the UN is a silent watch dog, it does not bark. Remember Haiti after the earthquake and other disasters? The UN fell down once more.

I will get back to the UN but before we go any further let me warn you, never ever mix up books with brains. Books tell you how to do something but brains allow you to figure it out yourself. We have too many people with book knowledge and not the skill to put what they learn into action; you see it here, in Barbados, at the UN and else where and it will continue to be so. Barbados on the domestic violence train, still it keep pushing men and women who batter their partners into positions of power and social status. Preach one thing and practice another.

It is time that the United nations set the example for developing countries to follow. It created human rights rules and regulations, still people in developing countries suffer every day because many of these member states have respect for civil and human rights only on paper. Look what is taking place in Venezuela in 2019, for nearly ten years, the corrupt Presidents, more dictators than anything else, rigged elections and year after year that country economic situation deteriorated. Millions of it citizens 140

had to flee to other countries to avoid starvation and other human rights violations; it was only when the United States said enough is enough did Caribbean leaders woke up to reality. This is the same thing they did with Forbes Burnham in Guyana and Eric Giary in Grenada, they watched those people suffer and did nothing.

The United Nations did not step in to protect the citizens in these countries because it has a very poor record of doing things right. When UNEP was created and based in Nairobi with a $63 million budget with Mostafa Tolba as executive director, very few of the problems that it was created to solve went from bad to worse. This is true of the UNHCR, its history is a betrayal, yes it saved thousands of lives but it still suffer from mismanagement and theft. Its once proud legacy is tarnished as food aid for refugees is sold on many black markets as seen in Somali where more than fifty people a day died in the Dolo refugee camp in southern Ethiopia and the same thing happened in northern Kenya where hundred of lives were loss due to a rift with the German contractor. I am saying all this to point out that the United Nations Commissioner for Human Rights does not perform its duties as it was created to do but cast a blind eye to the political misery of individuals. For more than thirty years several attempts to reform the UN from within has failed and like many Third World countries, including Barbados, the sweetheart pension deals given to certain staff members, consultants, and politicians create a lack of accountability; Barbados like most Third World countries, are part of the face of the UN. We, in Barbados, can not access the Caribbean Court of Justice without the Appeal Court say so, hence people like Sir David Simmons can discriminate and violate the human rights of persons they dislike for what ever reason and still have a high profile. It is terribly wrong to divide our country in two when it comes to constitutional protection. Sir David mendacity ruined my character, my businesses and family life and I can not get any legal redress because of his judicial (former Chief Justice)and political ties (former Attorney General and Minister of Home Affairs). I can accept his political support but not that from the judiciary which should never show fear nor favor. It should be free and independent.

I do hope that we can read the writing on the wall. To remember is to understand and always remember one has options, a good parent remembers what it was like to be a child. It is the parent duty to train and bend the child in the right direction; your children reflect what kind of mother and father you are.

Most children who turn to crime and drugs, were raised in a house not a home, if you want to see the irony of this, look at the children born of Caribbean parentage in North America and England and compare them to those we now produce in the Caribbean. My heart pains and hurt that our new culture is drug abuse, violence, guns, prostitution and filthy mouths; most of them can barely read and write although education is free and compulsory. They go to school long but not often.

Why would any person want to lease land to raise pigs, chickens, sheep, goats, etc. on open land where you can not install security cameras and lights to protect their investment. We have never had a Minister of Agriculture with the ability to see the burden placed on these farmers, more so when thieves are known to butcher cows and other domestic animals on site, leaving only the bones and waste for the 141

owner. We talk and talk, but in agriculture we do not produce fifty percent of our potential, we are just talk coming from the senior officers at the Ministry of Agriculture, who can not apprehend the truth about agricultural production. In this instance there is little correlation between the circumstances of people’s lives, their work ethics and how happy there are. Most civil servants are at work for the long haul, job security and pension; there is never a thought about why I am here and what can I do for my country and self.

In Life, time is of the essence, therefore, even at school share your thoughts and your strength and your fears and you will find the good in you and work with it. When government was forced to lay off staff it should never have been last in first out but rather those that are unproductive; the reason why the unions forced this policy down the throat of the government is that many of those sent home were not union members because the unions very seldom defend and represent those workers sent home. It was not a matter of what is right for the country but the financial cost to the unions. No person cares about quality production in the work place. Things got to change in our country.

Why have government spent millions educating and training our civil servants who refuse to use the skills they have? Government workers want shaking up, remove the dead weight, those persons who can not come up with a good idea and perform. They can only do as they are told but never have any ideas on how to create progress. These members of the army of live and let die, want replacing, hence, government need to come up with a plan to grade worker and stop promoting dead weight employees, Employees that have refused to re-educate themselves and live with modern technology and information techniques. Send them home and let the dead bury the dead.

I know that our politicians and civil servants can do better but they live the culture in the seven deadly sins that Mohandas K. Gandhi listed. Wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, knowledge without character, business without morality, science without humanity, worship without sacrifice and politics without principle. They fail to understand that in every nation, there is work to be done. In every community or village there are wounds to heal. In every person, there is the power to do it, so let us get up and do our part. Stop watching each other. Make the first.

I do not have to apologize to any person for what I write. I stand behind it and if the crooks within our country have a problem and feel that I defamed them, take me to court. Threats against my life does not work, Elizabeth Ann Jemmott and her drugs lords supporters placed a thirty ($30,000.) thousand dollars price on my head, I did not run and hide. I remained in the open and made the world aware of the threats.

We need basic security if our lives are to have any dignity or substance but government is draining every drop of blood out of our bodies; can we ever imagine that tomorrow and the days after we will have any certainty of continuity of law and order, of justice for all and equal opportunities when every thing is shifting and controlled by those who have money or friends in the right places. Every day I see 142

chaos in our people lives and many can not handle the chaotic situation and turn to prostitution, pot, cocaine, alcohol and violence. We are a frustrated people because we expect that our lives within our society will be balanced but all we get are things incoherent and aimless. Government neglect of the poor have driven many of them to illegal drugs and criminal activities; our people needs equal opportunities and justice.

Our laws came from the British but our governments came from hell. We voted out the Democratic Labor Party and returned the Barbados Labor Party in a clean wash out but instead of the prices in the stores and supermarkets being reduced they marched up and up; the new government sent workers home. We are getting so many lashes that we have become black and blue because of the greedy merchants; I do not want to see price controls return. I want good governance and corruption controlled, jail those who steal from the public purse. Jail politicians who take bribes and those who give them. Let our people become creative and passionate and their work comes from within their souls; let them see the light coming from a good governance administered by honest politicians, attorneys, doctors, judges and magistrates, preachers, school teachers and all those those who play a meaningful role in our lives. Lead by example and let our fathers and mothers be shining lights to guide our children along the right path.

Let our children rise to the roof top and shout and show their success not liming on the block or under trees, stoned from marijuana; wipe away their tears when failure comes and let them know that failure, is only part of the experience of life so that they can pick themselves up and march on. How will a child hooked on pot, cocaine, etc. do this? It is not ever easy to give up any substance one is addicted to be it alcohol, sex, corruption, illegal drugs, even racial discrimination, once a bigot always a bigot. No man has to remain a fool, you can change, if you want to with a little help from your family and friends. There is always some one willing to assist another. Just look in the right place for guidance and any fool can do that if he knows he needs help to brighten his life.

What we as mothers and fathers contribute to child rearing may surprise you but when you look at parenthood in Barbados it has declined especially where fathers are concerned; our once proud society is undergoing a most unexpected and extraordinary social trend thanks to drug abuse. These children are not fatherless but have been deserted because of problems fathers have with their mothers; they are less successful than those who grew up with a father.

Children from a one parent family are twice as as likely to drop out of school, get involved in criminal activities and become a social menace, experts have said. Yes it is stated that men are not biologically attuned to being committed fathers because they are promiscuous, hence, their commitment to family life is not strong. Some young men today are trying to correct this wrong but will they succeed, only time will tell, if they stick with the mother. The lack of fathers in houses and homes is a contributing factor in the rise and spread of criminal violence, the lack of respect for others and pride in themselves.

143

In the pass men and women used to stay together for the sake of raising their children but not today because women are pushing their father away and at a time when paternal involvement is critical to child care. Fathers are important in instilling quality in children and provide a model for their lifestyle.

School education is not all that a child needs, they need to learn about compassion and reasoning and a caring father nearby allows a child to develop character so that he can display honesty, prudence, cooperation, trust and self-sacrifice; if he or she does not have these qualities no matter how high they climb in education and work they will fail. Life achievement is not about about money and social climbing but rather social living; it is like gardening, the quality of the vegetable is only as good as the soil it is planted in. We need to stop being part of the malicious crew.

We are an independent nation but not independent minded, we still accept slavery and colonialism.

Why does we still accept British honors, come the Queens Birthday and New Years? It is also idiotic to compare our Parliament with that of the British. The only former colony of the British Empire that totally respect its citizens civil and human rights is the United States of America and with President Donald Trump it is under threat, that man is more a George Wallace and act like a South American President.

In Britain, Parliament is controlled by the elected members not by the rich and powerful; most of our parliamentarian are for sale and are bought, this is why corruption is so widespread in our small nation from the judiciary to government offices. Hence, I find it very hard for our newspapers writers like Tony Best to stop quoting what people write and say else where and write about what the people who live here would like to see and know develop here and then compare it with what outsiders write. Show us where we have fallen down, not pretend that all is well. Tell us of your opinions and where you as a Barbadian would like our country to go and stop with the second hand scrap that is far from the truth.

This is why so many of our children are suffering. There are very few persons they can look up to be it mother or father and going into the Church is a waste of time; the old Churches like the Catholic and Anglican are more wrong than right. Look at the religious laws in many South American States where women are imprisoned for life if they miscarried a baby. When I heard this on the BBC I could not believe my ears. It was part of an interview with women who had to flee the country of their birth after a miscarriage or release from jail. This was broadcast on the morning of January 9, 2019. In these countries women are betrayed by their religion and this is wrong. Churches should be preaching equality of the human being and the law; fighting for proper health care for these women and their children. Religion is no better than the dope and alcohol our people abuse daily. If you believe in the Bible and what it pertain to, then there should be no discrimination and God preachers should not stand for these forms of discrimination and religious slavery.

Going back to our children here in Barbados, those living in fatherless houses are not like those in years gone by where an absent father was never absent, his present was always felt and seen, because 144

they were always around and when they were not, both the woman and the father family raised that child. This is why yesterday children are better educated for life than today’s child who get less supervision and protection from the men and women their mothers take in. It is not just men who are on the down low. Too many women spend more time competing with other women than with their children relationship. They don’t place emphasis on appearance which is more than your clothes.

Children must know who is the boss, what the house rules are and who enforce them.

Our children from low income homes are more neglected and abused than in wealthier homes; they are denied emotional support and they become vulnerable to sexual abusers, both women and men who pretend to have their best interest at heart. Children growing up without the support of mothers and fathers are more likely to turn to violence and radical individualism that torment youths. Yes I have said legalize marijuana for medicinal use only but what are we going to do with those who are smoking “Fanta: tobacco leaves which we know give you cancer. Any smoking is bad for one’s health.

So if our country is to get back on the road to progress we must seek a more just and humane society and we can not find that in alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, fanta or anything else that will harm our health and mental stability. We must look to take better care of our children and I do not mean just money.

They are the future of our nation and the soul of our country and if they can not drive the train will not run.

For those among us who do not understand what democracy is all about, it does not only pertain to government but the people within that state, striving to achieve an order of peace, justice and upliftment for the people but the people also has an obligation to the State. Nothing in this world is free, just as all feelings are painful, one way or the other because love is the crisis of our soul. This is why I speak what I feel and believe in. This is why language is the only form I use to display emotion any other form is acting and seeming.

This is why I have always stood up and was recognized as a person who believed in the reaffirmation of democratic institutions, where there is a system of personal liberty and social justice based on respect for the essential rights of every individual. We have not reiterated in words or action that we abide with the Universal Declaration of human Rights. That is the ideal of free men and women enjoying freedom from fear and want which can only be achieve if our government create the conditions where every one can and may enjoy his economic, social, and cultural rights, as well as his civil and political rights. Every day we see these violations, more so when we change from one political party to the next.

We also saw political discrimination when Prime Minister Fruendel Stuart Administration introduced fees at the local university; the Cave Hill Campus is the poor man dream out of poverty and that stupid political act violated these black people rights to economic, social and educational upward movement.

This policy curtailed the elevation of the black person in society because without an education you will 145

suffer in this day and age. Even carpenters, mason, electricians and all other trade person must have a certificate of qualification to be employed.

So we are creeping back to colonial days when you watch and listen to the fears coming out of the lesser Caribbean islands like St. Vincent and the Grenadines, St. Kitts and Nevis and Grenada when it come to accepting the Caribbean Court of justice as their final court of appeal. I know and saw political and judicial interference with the CCJ, they still want to cling to Britain Privy Council where they are not wanted. These people are not backwards, but afraid of political corruption that they can not determine and resolve the structure, competence and procedure of the regional organs because they do not want to trust the politicians not to impede the independence of this court. I agree with them, I saw what influence the Barbados Prime Minister and the Chief Justice had on this court. They blocked the court from hearing my plea for justice to protect corrupt politicians, incompetent justices and drug lords. What could be more damaging that feeding our people, young and old marijuana for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Crime and neglect for clothes. Poverty breeds crime, crime breeds poverty, this why our children should not be clothed in ignorance.

The people of the Caribbean need to force our politicians to clean up their acts. Corruption is like acid on the political and judicial rights of the people. Civil and political rights form the backbone of our right to Juridical Personality and cement our right to life and have it respected. While I have nothing against hanging murderer but the poor quality of criminal trials have harden my resolve that a life sentence is better because too many errors are made because the prosecutor is always right. Defense attorneys very seldom win mostly because they do not employ any technical staff, such as finger print experts; they use the same evidence that the prosecutor does. They do not use private detectives to make sure that what before the court is the truth and not part of it.

Our people are not given a fair trial within our criminal justice system. They are not given a hearing within a reasonable time, the are not presumed innocent until proven guilty; the trials are seen as only to determine the penalty. Many of then can barely read and right because they went to school long but not often and many are not given prior notification in detail of the charges against them until the last moment. Then they have very little time to read and understand the accusation and to instruct their attorney. The accused should be given the same documents that are given to his attorney because when this is not done, the accused has to depend on his attorney words and some of them can not be trusted.

Then there is the right of the accused to examine witnesses present in the court and to obtain their appearance, as witnesses and experts and other persons who may throw light on the facts. When this is not done the accused is not getting a fair trial and this is what I wanted our Court of Appeal to determine but the Chief Justice did what he thought was right to protect certain persons, including Sir David Simmons. When the Chief justice of a judicial system is incompetent then the whole court is tainted more so when we have judges who can not make decisions with out using judges decisions from England, Canada, Australia, etc.; these countries judges do not quote us because there is nothing to 146

quote. In most cases the circumstances maybe similar but not the same, our judges need to be independent minded to think in and outside the box. I believe that thing will change within our judicial system now that the new government is recruiting judges from within the Commonwealth, we may see a more honest and quality court.

Now we have laws that demands an accused to be a witness against himself because he can no longer refuse on the ground that it would incriminate him. The Fruendel Stuart led government passed such a law claiming that an accused who refuse to answer questions by the police, prosecutor or a judge can be assumed guilty by his silence. They passed other laws that takes away a person right to personal liberty and security, these same laws endanger people health and well being.

In any real democracy people are not deprived of their physical liberty without cause; to shut down a whole street or community, a real emergency must exist, not just suspicion and such powers should not rest solely with the police or Attorney General but should lie with a judge of the Supreme Court because no one should be subjected to arbitrary arrest and imprisonment even if they are confined to their home. They also have no recourse to the court for a decision on the lawfulness of the detention and release if the detention is unlawful but these laws were implemented to harness the poor who can not afford an attorney and who our courts look down on with scorn.

Every person in Barbados has the right to a hearing before a competent, independent and impartial judge but this very seldom happens in Third World countries; so many people in these countries live in fear of politicians and the police who violates their personal rights to liberty and security. Just look to Africa, Asia and South America where people are subject to arbitrary arrest and imprisonment and in some cases brutality and death.

Look, Rasta Willie, or as you wish William Brewster, yes I am angry at Dr. Ricardo Coppin, Sir David Simmons, the police and the judicial system because they violated my rights to life. I was falsely arrested. I wrote in the Nation Newspaper that Sir David should not be appointed Chief justice because of his history and love for domestic violence and his protection of Dr. Coppin illegal activities. You and your friends said over and over that persons dealing in illegal drugs and selling it to our little children, is not my concern. Yes, it is. Look at the poor results coming out of our schools. Look at the high cost of health care and education, you doubt me; then let me remind you of Anthony Grannum, Aloe and others who have died and gone. How many times were they hospitalized? They destroyed themselves through alcohol and illegal drugs. The use of illegal drugs come with a very high cost. The people who are making millions out of their sales are not our country friends but enemies, look around you and see our former friends gone to waste. They get drunk and high, piss and shit on themselves. Did you ever see Rocko going home at night dragging on his ass, or Wilshire’s jackass lying at the side of the road?

Did you feel pride or sadness? These incidents hurt and sadden me. People who support you in your idiotic stupidity are just as dumb about life.

147

Don’t just come into the bar when you want to play dominoes with blind to life associates, visit at five in the morning, then around nine or open your ears and you will hear Wilshire’s jackass braying and by nine that night you see them falling down. A danger to those using the road. William Brewster, a friend is some one who sees through you but still enjoy the view. Shytland has nothing to offer you in your every day life because I know you and your love for children but can you say that for a man who molest his own daughter? Who refused to attend her wedding? He believed that since he was the first man to give her a toy or hold her in his arms, that he has a right to sexual molestation. He is as dirty and annoying as his mistress “Michelle” Joseph.

Anthony abused not only cigarettes and alcohol, but cocaine and marijuana and anything else he could get his hand on and just like Andrew “Aloe” James; they died because his drug habit destroyed his mind, body and soul. They suffered and the QEH wasted thousand of dollars treating them although the doctors knew it was a loss cause. They suffered a painful death in their last days. Then there was “Rocko” one of the best fire eaters and entertainers this country produced along with being a first class chef who found work internationally. Alcohol tormented him in his last days, he would get drunk and dirty himself, walk in the road and was struck by vehicles on numerous occasions while drunk and hospitalized. His body had in many broken parts when he died. The last occasion after he was struck while drunk and hospitalized, on his discharge from the QEH he sold the medication right in front of my eyes for a mini bottle of rum, These men and women who abused drugs, legal and illegal took their lives. How many times they pulled out the drips in their arms and walked out of the hospital. Is this not suicide?

Then the widespread political corruption in our court that blocked me from taking legal action against the government, its employees for false arrest, loss of income, defamation and the State obligation to protect my civil and human rights. If our domestic legal effects were in place I would have filed suit against the Barbados government, Sir David Simmons, Dr. Ricardo Coppin and Claire Johnson for more than eighty million ($80M) dollars because my human and civil rights were violated according to Article 1 of it general obligation according to international standards and conventions.

Also Heather, Michael (Coamike) Joseph) and Cecil for defamation. Heather has more traffic tickets than a private transport mini (ZR) van driver and take pleasure in running the patrons from her work place with her rude and stupid behavior while Cecil dishonesty has eaten the flesh off his bones, he is a walking skeleton. If there was no skins his bones would be exposed and I would not call him an alcoholic because when he has money he will get drunk twenty four seven but without money he is off, sometimes for more than a week. If you know him well you will know that he is more good than bad but people does use and abuse his slowness of mind. This is what Rasta did to him, had him included in the invasion of my privacy when my home and office were invaded and my computer searched.

Michael is a dirty minded fraud, who like to abuse others when they will not tolerate his stupidity. He has been on the down low most of his life, he will steal and lie every day of his life and does not feel any shame. I do not drink with him and avoid him after he and an ex-police officer had a homosexual 148

altercation and he wanted me to lie to the police for him. I do not care what he says about me because I told him that if I lie to the police, he would be the first to call me a liar. I am not getting involve in other persons domestic affairs.

It also interfered with my right to request the Caribbean Court of Justice to intervene as our final court of justice after our Chief Justice and the Barbados Court of Appeal for political reasons blocked my constitutional right to a fair trial and justice. This is why I can understand Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and other members of CARICOM refusal to make the CCJ their final court and retain the British Privy Council. They are afraid of political corruption and they should be. This action by Barbados, shows that the CCJ needs complete independence and safeguards from such interference.

How comes citizens of all the other CARICOM states can take Barbados to the CCJ but Barbadians can’t? Was this an over sight in its creation, I don’t think so, Sir David is one of its creators and I feel that he fore saw his short comings. Time is longer than rope.

Every Barbadian have the right to recognition as a person before the law in this country and why was mine blocked? To protect corrupt politicians and their friends. To protect persons who abused their social position to amass million of dollars selling illegal drugs to our people. Rasta, I do not have to apologize to you or any person else including the God some of you serve, for standing up for my constitutional rights. I will always as long as there is breath in my body stand and be counted for what I belief is right and fight against that which is wrong.

I do not support homosexuality nor marijuana but men or women right to same sex marriages because these are things we can not change. Look, the God you pray to and the one that we as little children were told to love because He loves us and will protect us, never did where thousand of little children were concerned. I hate homosexuality because it is dirty playing up in shit, this is why we were implored as kids to wash our hand before leaving the bathroom. If these are wrongs in the sight of God, let Him handle it.

The Church, Catholic and Anglican are the breeding ground for homosexuality here in this country and else where and what has God done? Nothing. So I have no inclination to serve or support Him because his Bible said these things are an abomination unto Him but in his Church, His home, they are rampant.

It is just like you hear President Trump preaching one thing and practicing another or our government speaking about democracy but still harnessing the poor.

Are we free from slavery, I do not think so because too many of our men and women are slaves to political corruption, illegal drugs, sex, alcohol and cigarettes, we also traffic in people. I heard the Chief Justice of the CCJ begging our judges in the Caribbean to stop being followers and become leaders. He has a long wait, we are still colonized when it comes to the law and equality of the people.

When a black person enter a court within the Caribbean it is like playing Russian roulette; this is why Trinidad although the home of the Caribbean Court of Justice still prefers the British Privy Council, so 149

too, Jamaica and most of the CARICOM States. I do not blame the people of those countries. Not that I support slaves mentality but our politicians can not be trusted and demonstrate that white is right and blacks must always be followers. There is no truth in this. Blacks are leaders and we have seen this in President Obama, Nelson Mandela, Dr. Martin Luther King, our own Errol Barrow and Dame Billie Miller, who have demonstrated what decency and uprightness is all about. She has no equal in Barbados.

We are responsible for our action and all of the shouting by the Barbados Labor Party about the last Democratic Labor Party administration widespread corruption not one person will face the court and end up in jail because the BLP government and these politicians are the same. Politics means self service not service to country and people, our new breed of politicians are self-centered and irresponsible. They do not inspires devotion to country, only to self; this Mia Mottley government will not restore decency nor let our culture become a moral compass and reasoning. She has appointed men who have brutalized their women. Does this mean that her government support domestic violence?

Doing the right thing takes precedence over the strongest emotional thought, we have within our power to live a better life day after day. A plant does not flower until it has mature and a human life should be the same. When we become men and women, we leave all of our childish actions and behavior behind and take up tough love and let it work.

If our country is to progress its people must move away from being stale because if we change in a positive way our lives will always be young; this is why we offer free education so that our people can live in the world of thought. Marijuana will not enhance our morality nor inspire any person to be creative and honest. Self respect is essential to our country progress, hence, I am appalled and frightened by our people feel good doctrine our political corruption. If David Simmons did not like by open letter denouncing his appointment as Chief Justice, he should have taken legal action, other CJs have taken legal action when they thought that their rights were violated. I do not like this because of the power the Chief Justice have over other judges in small countries like ours.

His political and social doctrine advances the amoral notion that no matter how much you hurt others, I am David Simmons, lord of my country but Sir David, Luke 17: 3-4 states “And if your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him” Read it. “ And if seven times of the day he sins against you, and seven times of the day turns to you saying, I repent, you shall forgive him”. It is not my duty to forgive but to treat you equally. Jesus asked God to forgive those who crucified him but I will neither ask God nor the devil to forgive you. You are too evil for forgiveness, so I will let you continue to look into the mirror at the wicked and rotten person you are. And if you want to take legal action, Take it, I am willing and ready to lock horns with you but not one of the present judges will sit before me. I am not afraid of you or them but knowing how politically bias our judges are, I am afraid of Carl. Pepper burns and too much pepper burn the ass on exiting. I will demonstrate with documents that our courts can not be trusted to be honest and fair.

We must realize that as mothers and fathers our main object in life is to make sure we are an example for and to make sure we do what is right for your children; I know that women and men separate and the children are left with either the mother or father. It is hard raising children when the mothers are as young and inexperience as the child and there is no grand mother or other senior family members to assist with the raising of the child as was the case years ago. Very few of these mothers have grown up and matured to take care of a child because she is a child who gave birth to a child. These mother are always wearing a fish net but the fish they catch are very seldom worth frying far less eating. They also have a bad habit of trying to make the child believe that the father is the worst person on earth. They are never at fault but very seldom only one person is to blame, it is also wrong to try and turn one parent against the other.

Children need a father consistently, day in and day out but many mothers drive the father away when there is no place for her personal envy and hatred for the father in the child’s life. That boy or girl needs their father for strength and to share their fear, to praise them when they deserve it and correct them when they need it. Children should never be allowed to act rude to any person. Too many of our children shows no politeness, especially the girls who for some reason are common and vulgar in today’s world; they lack the basic foundation of human interaction. Being a good mother and father in today’s drug culture should be top priority in the home and out of it.

A life dependent on illegal drugs allow children to live in a fantasy world, life is a real situation where a child should know his or her real true self, standing up for what one believe in and pot is not something to believe in. If a child can not demand respect from others, that child has no respect for self, this is why so many of our youth end up before the court or dead. Too many of our children have no pride, they are not self-sufficient and end up having to depend on the drug pusher or the alcohol bottle.

A child should be raised to depend on him or herself.

Some children want every thing in life and they will do the wrong things to get them, they want to be number one but they can not be all of the time; what they have to do is strive to be and even when they loss, they can still be proud of their effort. You can not be number one in everything or during your whole life but you can see yourself as number one being a human being. Just be honest to oneself and you will always be number one to you, be proud of who you are, We all can not be lawyers and doctors, some of us have to be farmers, carpenters, nurses and teachers, so be proud of your achievement. Do not envy, praise others, even when they win the race and you come in second, third or even last, just get up and go again. Just remember education should always be top priority from birth to death, one never stop learning, so never turn your back on knowledge.

So Rasta, I hope you can see the forest from the trees. People who encourage you to do wrong, are not your friends. People who can be bought do not make good friends and the same of the dominoes crew where you can pick up the phone and they start wagging their tails but let me inform you and the malicious Shytland that no man has the moral right to forgive evil done to others, Go back to church 151

and join the party leading our country moral renaissance. Sexual impotence is optional but not decency, never allow your penis to become your brain, then you will never get the right solution, your advisers are far from their god.

I do not hide and talk behind others back, that is not my style but people like to do it to me and others; these are people who have never tried living an honest life, which is an honorable way to live. I always say what I mean and mean what I say; I treat those who deserves respect with respect and dignity but in the Gay Bar where we play dominoes, most of the men are drinking twenty four seven, nearly half only drink water, seldom take a bath or wash their mouths. It is hard to be kind and considerate to those who are high from pot smoking and alcohol and still want more; these men and women have gone back to being a child pieing and shitting themselves, some lying asleep on the dirty concrete or in the bus shelter, this is what abuse of chemicals does to a human being, Stop them from being one. I am sure some of them grew up with you, are you so selfish you going to ignore them as they waste their lives away? Are you a real human being or just papier mache. Only one of your dominoes friends have the independent and common sense to do as he like, the others, you know, what I mean are just hanging around for the love of the game. All of you except one have back slided and forgot the church, I have never told any person man or woman how to live their life but moving between a man and his woman is a dumb thing to do when you are doing in the third party home. Now when I speak of marriage, I include men and women living together and kindly remember that living together is better than any marriage. What is so important in marriage? Is it for society or for the individuals? For the church marriage is undoubtedly beneficial but the burden of marriage along with civilized morality have become too heavy for many to carry. In most marriages intercourse is not satisfying and it does not last long in marriage especially when the woman is in the church. She would rather have the Bible under her head than you between her legs so by the time a marriage survives three to five years they start to fail and the marriage ends in disappointment unless the parties agree, to keep up a front for other people sake. Three persons in a love triangle leads to domestic violence.

Today’s drug addict is the product of his home, his education and life experience including the people they meet and follow; we have to instill good values and character in our children, therefore, we have to make time to be good parent. We have to stop giving them gifts that we can not afford and spoiling them; teach them to live within their means and when they start stealing and selling drugs, lay down the law. Quit or move out and if they are school age, get help from government authorities, the experts who can handle them by pointing out the error of their ways. If you can not control them get the help they need, don’t wait until the police arrest them and cry crocodile tears. Children between 12 and 17 are the hardest to deal with because it is harder than ever being a child in the Caribbean today with the illegal drugs challenges facing us. We are facing a war against parenting, family values and our very own existence because marijuana abuse is like a disease with out any treatment.

152

Let us look at our country and the way it has changed. Young parents very seldom live near their extended families and most neighborhoods or villages are not neighborly anymore, hence mothers and fathers feel overwhelmed, frustrated, confused and helpless in dealing with their children who are paying more attention to the social media and their friends than to their parents. They do not sit at the same table to have breakfast far less dinner at night. Children go into their bedrooms, close the door and turn to their smart phones. In many homes, the environment of love and respect is dead. Period.

We as adults are failure to our children, we do not respect our own lives far less that of our children and when this happens we deprive our children of the life they ought to have. I have mentioned before that school girls making more money than their mothers who are working. Can you imagine a mother borrowing money from a school child to pay electricity and water bills? Mother working and coming home about the same time as a school girl. See them on Saturday mornings going into town, make up all over the face, the child is gone and they are not going to meet children their own age but men and women.

William Brewster, you and your supporters are dead wrong. I have seen men and women who used cocaine, heroin, marijuana, etc. rushed to hospital, so do not claim that any illegal drug is harmless, pot is not and the 2018 Xmas season proved me right when two of our neighbors had to seek medical attention after smoking marijuana. Today’s realities confirm that simple truth, grass, pot or by what other name we call marijuana it is not good for people who abuse it and they do pay the price.

Therefore, good parenting is an essential positive force needed in our homes, within the villages and the larger society, hence, we must as a Nation promote better care of our children, we must cherish them. We must stop encouraging children to abuse alcohol, tobacco, pot and sex. These form the back bone of the myriad of problems and challenges facing us today; we must return to the days when parents instilled strong values and character in their children for this is the only way to inoculate them against the many negative influences they are exposed to morning, noon, and night. Finding a girl over 12 years old today that is still a virgin is like finding a needle in a haystack and the same is true of boys when it comes to pot and alcohol.

Years ago while living and studying in the United States, there was a slogan used by the United Negro College Fund that is still solid today “A mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste� and it went on to become a strong part in the American lexicon. Today, we are wasting our children to the point where government now want to import youth from other CARICOM States to become our future leaders because our youth are more taken up with illegal drugs than with their education and the welfare of their country.

Today we really see why a mind is a terrible thing to waste. Why? Drug addicts make poor parents and when a child has no one to take care of him during his first years, he lost that early nurturing that is important for brain development. Also when a child have a pot head for a father, he suffers because it takes a man to be a father and being male does not make you a man and we need men involvement in the rearing of our children.

153

If you doubt me ask any man or woman when last their family sat down as a whole and have lunch or dinner; it is rare for this to happen. First it was the television and now the cell phone craze have turned family into famished because most children today are starved for the love and protection parents once gave to their children. How many of our children can say that their parents will be there when they need them, fathers and mothers working, coming home late, tired and even frustrated have very little time to deal with their children, even watching television together, since most rooms have their own TV set. There is no time to listen to the kids or even discuss ideas.

When a father is addicted to illegal drugs, how can he tell his child not to use them. In any case you must listen to your child and when you speak talk to them and not lecture. We have to take our kids back from the drug lords, the sex culture and alcohol, today I see too many angry children, out of control and the girls just as angry as the boys. It is not too late to take a firm hand in your child’s life, you just have to know how. Do not use threats, but with love tell them where you see them going wrong. Do not curse them and say that they embarrass you or the family. Tell them that you love them and want to see them become productive men, women or citizens.

Public order in 2018 is in shambles compared to twenty years ago; drugs addicts and gamblers are stealing every thing they can move from limes, coconuts and breadfruits to pigs, cows and sheep; so the refusal by government to pass tough legislation to stem the stealing and selling of agricultural products by these bold faced thieves, leaves a lot to be desired of our government.

The refusal also to stiffen the punishment for serious crimes. Murderers, drug pushers and rapists should be getting no less than twenty years to live and habitual criminals, persons with more than five convictions should start with ten to fifty years. Let these criminals realize that we mean business when it comes to criminal activities. Today no sooner they are sent to prison than they are back on the streets like they just went on vacation. We have to retard the misuse of illegal drugs including marijuana, it is destroying family life and social cohesiveness. Only in Barbados can a man be sentenced three times for murder; the first he got a slap on the fingers, the second was a mockery of justice and the third time showed how weak our judicial system is. When he was convicted the second time, he should have been given no less than twenty five years, so some thing is wrong, very wrong with our laws and the administration of our justice. He should have been allowed to return to society to murder a third person.

Social media, sex, alcohol and illegal drugs have taken over our lives, all day long you can see women with a smart phone plugged into the ear and men playing games or watching down loaded porn or items the malicious crew place on the internet. These are the people who delight in placing other people business in the public domain, if a man and a woman have a dispute they place it on Facebook; if there is a vehicle accident, it is there also but what gets me, there is very seldom any good things they can find to broadcast.

154

Our society is no different than those in North America and Europe; over the last fifty years we have seen more children born out of wedlock and raise by a single parent, that is men living one place and the mothers another. We have also seen many marriages lasting only on paper to protect the children or their social status in society and these failings have led to the decline of the family. Our children are learning less at public schools and this have led to the rebirth of private schools. They also commit more crimes, suffer more sexual abuse and troubles than those who came before them.

We have children who live in a house with both parents or one and they see very little of them; I can look all around me and see young men raised in such houses, they are either idle or have low paying jobs devoting their lives to marijuana and other drugs and the girls who have grown up without a father end up becoming a mother in their teens or having numerous abortions. These children are the product of a lower level of education, live in poverty, depend on crime and sex for survival and their off springs fare worse. There is very little family life in this country, we have joined the children of North America and the Caribbean, because no one cares or. They are the product of the sexual and marijuana revolution. Have sex and the end product is not my concern. Yes, there are many young men and women who are playing their part but not many.

Caribbean governments refused to write human rights codes to protect all of our people, blacks, whites, natives, homosexuals, lesbians and the handicaps; this is why blacks are second class citizens in these islands. A lot of water wash politicians will cry foul but blacks leaders do not make the best politicians in any part of the world where blacks are the majority. During the fifty years that Barbados was an independent nation only one Prime Minister cared about the black people, The Honorable Errol Walton Barrow, all the other got rich at our expense. So much for black power and the end of white rule. Our country is still control by whites, they hold the purse strings because money makes a politician. If you doubt me ask Kerrie Symmonds who represented our company against Colony Club who robbed us of more than fifty thousand dollars for labor and materials used in renovation at that hotel.

Why have we not incorporated freedom of speech into our constitution? It is like tying out a cow on a pasture; that cow can only graze as far as the length of rope will allow. Also the defamation laws in our country is a harness upon democracy, truth should be a defense in any defamation action; this is why every person born in the USA have these rights and freedom to develop as they choose. You can become a doctor, attorney, prostitute or a criminal, the choice is your but when you breach the law and is hauled before the court, you pay the penalty because the justice system in the USA is not for sale.

Don’t get me wrong, no system is flawless because as human being some will deviate for greed, friendship or what ever they are so inclined but when caught, you paid the price.

We are so politically blind and bias that we can not see the our people being devoured by drugs and despair for want of parents and guidance. After my parents separated my mother stood for no bucking the tide, believing in education, discipline and self respect; her action taught me to believe in myself 155

and possibility. Today our youth find it hard to find resolution and justice. She taught me to stand straight because posture like attitude, is important.

We need to get our children off marijuana into a crash course in accountability; if we do this we would not have to be importing youths to keep our work force alive. Today I am encountering more rift rafts coming in than usual, young men and women who are into prostitution, pimping and the drug trade thanks to the CSME not having realistic guide lines. It is alright to grand a person six months to find work in Barbados but they should be made to produce evidence that they found work and is a positive addition to the community.

If a woman or man for that matter want to be a prostitute let them do it in their own country; unprotected sex can lead not only to AIDS/HIV but STD which then become a burden on our health system. Our youths need for the adults to be better examples of life than they are because our children follow them when they need to believe in themselves and being a productive adult. It is time that our children are hard wired to believe in themselves and their country, therefore, we need leaders who will lead our country out of the darkness of drugs, crime and the lack of integrity. All I see these days are pot and crack dealers, prostitutes and lurking gang members, still I can remember the people in Salisbury and Workman’s St. George, the Ivy and My Lord’s Hill in St. Michael where we were all one out of love because we cared for each other. Neighbors took care of their neighbor’s children.

In the years gone by the Vincentians, Dominicans and St, Lucians were a positive welcome as they challenge us with their new ideas and assist us with agricultural work, now we have Jamaicans and Trinidadians gangsters who were deported from the United States and England coming and do not work, just criminal parasites thanks to the CSME. These people are not of the right mind set, they are criminals, per se. I don’t care what our new Prime Minister say but I know that pessimism is a very easy way out, we are all prisoner of our times. I can not be a different person than whom I am, this is why I spend my time with real friends because I don’t want to lose my balance. We need to know where they were living for at least three years and a police certificate to cover that period. We need to retard the rising criminal affluence that is afflicting our people.

You know, Sir David, you brings to mind George Bernard Shaw who told us that “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.

Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man”. This is why I want you to explain in court under oath your malicious and wicked actions against me. You abused your position of authority and social standing to cover up your failings and those of your friends. You are a demonstration of the wide spread corruption in our country but a bleeding coward but what ever you do must come out in the light. I will continue to fight for my rights and if it means I have to take you down, you and all those who support you will fall. Only my death will stop me. I hate dishonest and evil politicians. I will keep the world eyes open to what you represent in our country. The best weapon I can use are the written 156

words and I will use them. The lies you broadcast were more pernicious than personal defamation. It was black hatred of another black man, hence more bitter to swallow than white against black.

There is a direct link to our political leaders of the pass, exception being Errol Barrow and the new Prime Minister Mia Mottley, she is barking loud and clear, we must now wait and see what the results of her action will be. We must develop a democracy of truth because there is a lack of integrity, transparency and accountability in Barbados. I can not live in the shadow while our leaders betray the trust we place in them. I do not care whether it is the Democratic Labor Party or the Barbados Labor Party or any other party, we must retard the culture of corruption that these two parties have germinated, both are twins, not identical, but neither took any action to clean up our country. Now there is no respect for the police, for life, for the elderly, for our children, for justice and human rights. There is too much violence tied to the marijuana trade, too many women are on the move selling their bodies.

We must stop pretending that we are close to God or anything that is decent. I saw a rasta man and a woman on a bar counter having oral sex, when they were finished he returned to his drink while sitting on a stool. This was sent to me. Then there was another with a man having oral sex and he then turned her over and start licking her ass. Such dirtiness should not be on the internet for our children to see.

What kind type of children will we have in the next fifty years? Will we be back in the stone age or will it be the bloody age? Politicians like Sir David who abused our judicial system and forced the police to carry out his dirty work, must not be praised but castigated for the evil person he is. Stop hiding, Sir David, come out and fight, I can guarantee every round will be bloody as the truth comes out We all knew of Donville Inniss behavior and activities here and in St. Lucia for years but it took the USA Justice department to bring him before the court and face to face with justice. These persons are above the law in this country. Corruption is their breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is widespread discrimination in this country when it comes to black people doing business with our foreign banks, Barbados have no bank of its own. Blacks go through hell to get a business loan. Also whites want to control all of the beaches were tourists spend time, they act as if blacks pollute the atmosphere, still it is blacks that serve them their food, make up their beds and the list goes on.

All over our country doing right has become less important; too many of us are only interested in doing what we can get away with. Too many government employees hate hard work because it involves solving problems and giving service but that is what they are paid for to serve their country.

Look, I like Holdman W. Jenkins, Jr who stated that “The law is a crude machine at best, and only spits out something approaching justice if its attendants are committed to justice. As lawyering has become less about doing right and more about doing what you can get away with, our standards of acceptable shenanigans-as-usual seem to be in a free fall”, This is what going on here. The politicians and their friends live like royalty and the lower order come to scorn “civilized morality” and political scrap eating becomes god. Therefore, we must accept the rejecting of law and order by the drug gangs, who 157

are now rejecting social discipline for self-denial and life now has no dignity. There is violence every where, this is why I have to stand up for human Rights and speak what I feel but never in any other way but through language. Never emotion Do not know where Trevor R. Shepherd came from but surely not born or living here. There is no outside Big Boys Club in this country that force our government to do what they demand. We freely joined the United Nations and the Organization of American States. Human Rights Watch only get in touch with our government when they violate the Human Rights Treaties and Conventions Barbados signed on becoming a member and now abuse. Therefore, the “Gunmen killing Barbados� came about because of the widespread corruption in this country where politicians only care about their pockets but we are not alone, look at Africa and the rest of the Caribbean.

It is people like Trevor Shepherd who sees when his eyes are closed. Venezuela government for more than ten years ill-treated the people there and forced millions to flee the country of their birth. At no time did any CARICOM State opened its mouth and said this is wrong. Why? Many of them owe million of dollars to that heartless government riddled with corruption and savaged that country because the political leaders could not lead with an iron fist as they carried out widespread corruption.

More than two billion US dollars stolen from that country oil industry, while the young and the old starving. During this period that country was visited by an untamed, uncivilized, barbarous, cruel and violent administration but when governments in North America and Europe said enough is enough my country, Barbados, does not want any action taken to save the lives and welfare of those who had to flee into neighboring countries. This is the same junk we did when Forbes Burnham in Guyana and Eric Giary in Grenada went on a path of destruction harnessing their people like cattle but not one Caribbean state stood up and was counted.

The only persons in this country that protect criminals are those involved in the criminal activities and those who have political connections with them that are more important that our country. If our politicians had our country at heart there would not be so much illegal drug importation, distribution and use age. You, Mr. Shepherd, think that the gun play is not linked to the drug trade? Then think again. You do not have a clue what the international organizations you mention duties are, so stop writing the garbage that the Nation printed on January 18, 2019. No person violates the rights of our people but fellow Barbadians. We are the police, the judges and the witnesses but more important are the persons who raised them along the crooked path they journey on. No person push a bottle of rum down their throat or marijuana between their lips and place a gun in their hands. This was their choice, they made their beds, now they have to lay in it; when you use these drugs you tend to loose your sensibility. Blame us, we are responsible for what happens in our home and in our country. No person outside invades and took control.

Do not mention countries like China and North Korea, these country do not allow their citizens freedom of speech, movement or association; you go to school and work where they tell you to go or 158

end up in jail. There is no equal justice, from the time they lay eyes on you, you are guilty and going in court is just a sham, democracy does not live in these countries. You know, people like you, Sir David and Fruendel Stuart who refuse to get to know people from other racial, cultural and religious groups who minds made it easy to believe ugly things about others. It is then easy for you to give yourself credit for the agony you inflicted on others and live with your evil.

I agree with you that we need to take serious action against these gunslingers but it has to start within our courts, these criminals are given very small sentences and are back on the streets before the sun goes down. Justice is not being served. The police work hard and that is all they can do, they do not try the cases nor do they pass sentence. Do we really love our country? Approximately, eighty percent or more of our population are into drug and alcohol abuse, the young and the old; the only thing more annoying are those persons who are malicious in others personal business and scandalize the innocent on the internet. It is a good thing there is no hell other wise the devil would have annexed our country.

Our politicians have allowed our country to run to ruin; we are importing vegetables that we once grew because as you drive through the country, you will see most of our agricultural land covered in wild trees and bush. Abandoned by their owners who want to cut them up and sell in five acres lots to foreigners. Government refused to take any action against these wealthy owners.

The spiraling of the established mode of corruption started under Prime Minister Owen Arthur but his administration did not started it. I first knew that our politicians were bent in the wrong direction when Meneca Cox wife divorced him and told us about the buses he owned; the leader of the BLP told him to get rid of them. When you are a politician and a party person, self improvement is to improve the party and the country and you will improve yourself. Just remember what you are striving for and that perfection is an impossibility, so, do the best you can under the conditions that exist. That is what counts and you will learn to live forever, this is why I live as if I am going to die tomorrow.

People ask me why I like Nokia phones and I tell them not because it is the largest producer of cellphones but the founder Fredrik Idestam in the mid-1860s started a small pulp mill in Finland and he struggled in his own country but when he persisted and won a bronze medal for his ground-wood pulp at the 1867 Paris World Fair, Nokia sales took off and it became firmly established. Start small with integrity, purpose and you will become excelled and firmly established. Avoid politicians as much as possible, don’t build on graft. Then start to diversify. Just remember that courage has no greater ally than preparation, and fear has no greater enemy because when you prepare yourself, getting ready is the secret to success. Ask Henry Ford of the USA for it is better to prepare than repair.

To this end the Fruendel Stuart administration was humiliated by its incompetency, deterioration and improbity, these combined were the reason why the Democratic Labor Party failed miserably at the last general elections; it is now in the intensive care unit. Just look at the approach of the former Prime Minister and you will see that he lacked what all successful people have, the ability to take responsibility. He knew that he had more enemies within his government than out but he would only 159

listen to Hal Gollop, his business partner and so as he cemented his association with his few deadly friends he forgot and forsake democracy and communications that must come from pure motives, responsibility and sound thinking. Today no matter how much money he has, his life has no quality, no respect and every political appointment he made has now become tainted due to his ugly personality.

He was not linked up right and every time he look into a mirror, if he has the courage, he will see the dog, his shadow and the bone. He was dumb for not taking positive people into his confidence and not getting rid of the back stabbing members of his administration. All he had to do was be strong and fearless. Assessment is preparing for where you want to go, for when you do, half the battle is fought.

He had nothing to fear, his pension was secured the moment he took the oath of office.

Look at our civil service, filled with parasites because lazy people rarely prepare and this is seen in their attitude problem which we have to face each day. Success is not just working hard, it is also doing your work right. This is why I have always listened to experts, they told me what could not be done and why, then I set about doing it and even with employees I did not find fault, I look for a remedy or solution. Problems either stop us or stretch us because I know that I can succeed at almost anything which I have the enthusiasm for.

Whenever I feel the pain that the corruption in our country inflicted upon me, I read the classic Barbadian story of a chilling justice story called Farnum’s Land, a true story by the national bestselling author of Dorothea’s Ambition. Tatanka Yotanka. It reminds me that we always had corruption in our judicial system and that in this country money can purchase justice.

I mentioned gun violence before; most of it tied to the marijuana and other illegal drug trade, young men who want easy and fast money to spend on women, alcohol and gambling. This is not honest work, humility and forgiveness and it is not because “of some of the worst forms of brutal slavery”, any form of slavery is bad but we can not compare our situation with what blacks in North America had to go through. We had no place to run off too and we were like layers in a pen. That is true but blacks in the USA were hunted down when they tried to escape, beaten, shot and raped and then dragged back to work in chains so that they could not run off again. Dr. J. M. Opal. Associate professor of history at McGill University would seem to be blowing the Barbados Labor Party horn or that of our New Prime Minister. There are too many errors in his line of thinking.

If Barbados is so democratic, why have we no laws guaranteeing equal justice for all? Why is our democracy divided in two? Why are most blacks in this country living in political slavery? Blacks here are taxed to death and if government could place a price of the air we breathe they would tax that too.

How come it is usually black communities that suffer periodically from no running water or garbage pick-up for weeks.? How come it is the black children who are coming out of schools under educated?

Why have our educational system failed so badly while that of Guyana, that we used to compete with flourish? Answer these question Tony Best instead of quoting false information to fill your weekly 160

column. Our country is not going forward. Look at housing for the poor and their living conditions.

Look at education and explain why we are turning out addicted fools. Explain why government in importing CARICOM nationals to live here when we have no housing for many of our poor. Look at the many dilapidated houses our elderly call home. Don’t you read the newspaper you write for? Are you asleep or just politically blind.

Our politicians are only concerned in cosmetic development for blacks. Let them place our schools back at the top among those of the world where we once stood before, so that we can be proud of our country. Time ago when most black children education ended at primary/elementary school we were better educated than many coming out of secondary schools today. Many can just read and write, loss when it comes to arithmetic. Let us clamp down on criminal activities, especially those germinated by marijuana and other illegal drugs, alcohol and sex. Let there be pride and industry once more in our schools. Let there be integrity from all, let us retard the growth of corruption and take the many thousand young men and women you can find on the streets, in rum shop and bar and in night clubs selling their bodies back into reality. Let us bring the sex slave racket to an end and deport those immigrants who make a living out of it and lock up those who benefit financially from it.

Our country used to be our home, now we are like stray dogs because our country has become a drug and sex paradise. If you love your country, stand up like the young man I knew, William Brewster and help fight to regain control of our country and clean up our society. Support the local Integrity Group.

Stop supporting the special interest group. Look around our country and tell me what the black majority owns. Anything that is worth some thing is owned by foreigners be it Europeans, North American, and Asians from Trinidad and Tobago and now the Chinese who I do not like because they hate democracy and civil rights; they treat their people worst than cattle.

One of the things I have learn in life is that if you settle for less than you deserve, you end up even with less than you settled for. When any person turn to drugs be it marijuana, alcohol, coke, or any thing else to bring you courage to stand up and be counted, it makes you less than a human being. I see men and women on a daily basis who can barely stand up and be counted, they smell to the heavens but they do not care about soap and water, only marijuana or alcohol. They do not change their clothes unless the taunt from others force them back to reality that personal hygiene is very important. Is it true that memory feeds on imagination? But when you turn to drugs to make you a person, you achieve very little because achievement is a product of what you expect to gain from life, the level of aspiration and expectation and if you do not persist you will never find out who you are. Your life is not a book, easy to rewind, close it and reopen, you can not do that with your life, you can never go back to yesterday, don’t mind how much you regret what you did, you can’t erase the past.

An idiot once said to me that reading makes you intelligent, that is so far from the truth and in his case bitterness and hatred; you can read every book but if you do not understand what you read, you gain nothing. It is not book alone that a person must read, you must be able to read one self and others; people are not what you see. Many persons smile with you daily but behind that smile there is 161

unhappiness, maybe hatred or what ever; many people aim to please to get a job, keep their family together and many other reasons Why you think the majority of CARICOM member states would not recognize the Caribbean Court of Justice as their own? We are in mental slavery, we still believe that what ever the English do is well done and better than what we can achieve. That white justices are more competent than black ones and that black judges can be corrupted more easily. This is because we were taught by our slave masters never to trust each other, divide and rule and there is too much politics in the islands courts. This does not allow judges in the Caribbean to think outside the box and be creative in their ruling; they must always quote decisions from a white court.

When the CCJ ruled against a government as in the case of the Jamaican woman, whom they suspected was a sex worker; many Bajans went berserk but it was not against our country right to deny entrance but the manner in which it was done and the court was right. You know what else is wrong, that the courts in Barbados can deny a Barbadian the right to access the CCJ when they have some thing to hide. This is the icing on the cake of corruption in this country but any other member state citizen can go directly to that court and file suit against Barbados. You must get permission from the Court of Appeal in Barbados to access the CCJ and this is what stopped me in my track seeking justice. You will see, read on.

On October 19, 2010 I wrote to the Chief Justice, The Caribbean Court of Justice, Port of Spain, Trinidad after the Chief Justice, Sir Marston Gibson of Barbados refused to entertain any complaints from me pertaining to the violation of my Constitutional Rights by his fellow justices, requesting information on how to access a hearing of that court, Here is my letter, the CCJ response and two of the previous letters sent to the Chief Justice of Barbados.

1. CCJ “Dear sir, I am requesting information and assistance where possible to allow me to recover my constitutional rights which were completely violated by the Hon. Owen Arthur Government Administration and these violations are being continues by the present Administration because of the situation political volatility.

I am prepared to submit a complete set of records at the court request or a detailed affidavit but in any case I want the CCJ to hear my case and determine if I am right or wrong and if the Barbados government agents did violate my constitutional rights.�

This is the first paragraph of a four page letter. I am not including all of it since the Petitions to the Barbados courts and the Chief Justice will contain the same information. The CCJ responded in a letter dated 23 March, 2011 and I made the mistake in sending it to an attorney requesting his assistance. The slimy bastard broadcast it and the members of the Bar rose up against me claiming that I was casting aspersions on them. That reply advised: 162

“I am to advise you as follows: 1. the President is unable to advise you on the merits of your case; 2.the CCJ can hear your matter as an appeal from the Court of Appeal of Barbados; 3.for your appeal to come to the CCJ, you need to obtain leave to appeal from the Court of Appeal of Barbados or special leave to appeal; 4. at the time of applying for leave to appeal, you may also apply for leave to appeal as a poor person, which, if granted, exempts you from the payment of filing fees.�

This letter was signed by Michael Anthony Lila, Court Protocol and Information Officer.

This letter was sent to The Hon. Marston Gibson, Chief Justice and President, on 2012-2-06 Dear Sir: I write as per the attached letter from the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) pertaining to the severe and constant violations of my constitutional and human rights by the Government of Barbados (through its agents).

This political discrimination and victimization started in 2001 and I filed Petition No. P11099-03 with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights on October 31, 2002 to have my rights restored.

Since then every matter on my behalf or any company I am associated with have disappeared from the court (Registrar) offices. Then, three or so years later some of the files re-appeared with the defendant moving for dismissal for want of prosecution and I am not allowed to take part because companies must be represented by an attorney as in Belmont Corporate Services Inc. vs Colony Club (Barbados) Ltd. No. 132 of 2002. Our companies are owed more than three million dollars.

In the matter of Cox vs, Jemmott #38 of 94; this file disappeared immediately after a settlement was reached and I paid out Ms. Jemmott. This case has been before the Court for nearly twenty(20) years.

In the matter of the Crown Vs, Cox. This was born out of a political revenge by Sir David to silence me from voicing my political views and to ruin me financially. I have lost millions of dollars in investments and income. This conspiracy has denied me the right to work, take part in government, to equal justice, etc.

I want to argue before the Court of Appeal a number of issues including but not limited to the followings:a. Do I have the right to electronically record all communications within my office so long as I have given all persons prior notice, verbally and written?

163

b. Does a magistrate or Judge have a right to deny a motion without a given cause? c. Can a magistrate allow a prosecutor to coach a Complainant in Court to the detriment of the Defendant? d. If a company can not afford to retain an attorney does the owner(s) gives up his rights to his property? e. Can the Police Commissioner transfer Crown property without specific authority? f. Can a Government remove your name from the Electoral List so that you have to travel to another constituency to vote (although your address remains the same for more than 30 years)? g. Are Judges allowed to discuss documents including a manuscript obtained illegally and then used that information to discriminate against the writer (the defendant) and make remarks in open court to humiliate that person? h. Do I have the right to openly criticize Judges who are constantly drunk, who gamble daily, who practice violence on their partner and children, who commit adultery, etc.. I wrote of these things because I believe that those who control our courts have to live a life of respectability and be a beacon for all to follow.

I also want the matter of Crown vs. Cox now before Judge Maureen Crane-Scott removed from her court and suspended until the court rule on matters pertaining to this case including my right to call any witness who can assist the court in coming to a just conclusion so that justice can be served.

Yours respectively, J. MacArthur Cox CC: To: Amnesty International, UK.; Human Rights Watch; UNHRC AND IAHRC; FIDH. 25011, Paris, France; Allan Carter, attorney for the defendant (Crown vs, Cox) and Albert Sealy, attorney, Cox vs. Jemmott Petition to Hon. Justice Randall Worrell, Presiding in Crown vs, James Cox, Supreme Court No. 2 (and all other matters wherein I am the plaintiff or one of my former companies. I want the Appeal Court of Barbados to examine why all all these cases have been removed from the Supreme Court system and all traces of said cases can not be found including Cox vs. Jemmott, #38 of 94 wherein I paid the agreed amount and ten years later I can not receive the final documents.).

PETITION FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL HEARING AND LEGAL ASSISTANCE. Justice Worrell refused me a hearing without giving any reason for so doing, .

The defendant is seeking leave to: 1. Petition the Appeal Court of Barbados or for special leave to appeal to the Caribbean Court of justice our final court.

2. Applying for leave to appeal as a poor person and a certificate for legal assistance.

164

The defendant states that he did not sexually assault Claire Johnson and that he can prove his innocent and the criminal conspiracy involving her, members of the Barbados Labor Party and Agents of the Government of Barbados.

The defendant states that his Constitutional Rights were violated by the police when he was arrested on three complaints, namely:A. Violating the Telecommunication Act and Money Laundering on complaints filed by retired Chief Justice Sir David Simmons and his personal physician Dr, Ricardo Coppin and B. Claire Johnson claiming sexual assault.

Documents produced and given to the police by Sir David and Dr. Coppin came from a computer owned by Belmont Enterprises Ltd., and loan to Claire Johnson and was located at her mother residence, Greens, St, George. The loan was undertaken to allow her to assist her in her studies at Capital Business Institute; these studies were paid for by Belmont Enterprises Ltd., at a cost of $2,467.75 plus $800.00 for the books she claimed were needed to complete said studies. I had to call Ms, Gail King at Capital Business Institute and ask that a receipt was due us for the money paid and a schedule of the classes. (A letter dated July 14, 2003 was sent to us, see the attached document below) Ms. Johnson had the receipt made out in her name although the fees were paid with a BEL check and she could not provide any receipts for the $800.00 she paid for books, etc. She skipped classes and went to T & T on vacation without notifying us and her mother covered up her dishonesty, claiming she was sick but she did not know where she was staying.

She also skipped classes, accepting her full weekly wage while her skills were not improving and this is why I wrote to the Institute and she did not mail the letter, so I wrote another and mailed it myself on July 02, 2003 and it was confirmed that she was not attending classes and was out of the island at a time when she and her mother told us that she was sick and could not come to work.

Our external accountant also brought to our notice that money was missing from our account at our bankers, because the receipt and invoice books would not reconciled with the bank deposit books. That all of the cash money collected was not being taken to the Bank. Ms, Johnson claimed it was the second clerk in the office and that young lady was fired wrongfully but the theft continued. I reported the matter to the police in writing and asked for an investigation unknown to her. Up to this date the police has not started an investigation.

On the morning that Ms. Johnson claim that she was assaulted, was the morning after the then Prime Minister of Barbados the Hon. Owen Arthur telephoned me and inquired about certain section of my manuscript, Barbados Corrupt and Contented. He told me that one of his ministers gave him a copy and I pointed out that it was stolen and I would hold him blameless. He then explained certain things to me, which I promised to keep confidential and I will. The only reason his name is on my witness list is to ascertain who gave him the documents. This is what the DPP office is trying so hard to hide. The truth of what took place.

165

This information drove home to me that it was Claire Johnson who had betrayed the trust of our companies and myself while blaming every other person including her sister who worked for the police service. This is the reason she was fired. The sexual assault claim was the instruction given by our attorney Kerrie Symmonds. who in turn sent her to Michael Lashley so as to keep his part in this criminal conspiracy hidden.

Previously, I petitioned the Judge in the Supreme Court in the old building and this matter was adjourned for her to give an answer, more than a year passed and then I was informed the petition went missing. I filed another petition and the case was adjourned sine die, the first of three, deliberately delaying justice to cover up the part played by Sir David.

I want the Court of Appeal of Barbados to clarify if:I have the right to be served with a written copy of the charges filed against me and within what time frame/period.

That if I am making an application under the Bill of Rights as set out in the Constitution of Barbados as per sections 11 to 23 of Chapter 3, can the Chief Magistrate tell me that I have to wait until my case go to the High Court. This defeated the cause that I have a legal right to summons witnesses in my defense and the Director of Public Prosecution nor the Magistrate can not deny me my rights.

That I have a right to call witness Sir David Simmons, former Chief Justice to inform the court who gave him the private and confidential financial, business and legal documents stolen from my office and all of the saved materials stored on the computer as Ms. Johnson’s mother home where the complainant lived.

That I have the right to demand from him and other persons with such documents and information to return them without any condition attached, including those from the Royal Barbados Police Force.

That this conspiracy was deliberate created and continue to destroy my character and businesses even in the Supreme Court with persons including my former attorneys trying to have me cop a plea and placed on probation without I being involved in the discussion and although I told them over and over I am innocent and I will not accept such a miscarriage of justice, they have continue to harass me so as to protect the criminal behavior of Sir David Simmons, et al.

Before attorney Kerrie Symonds left the DLP and joined the BLP as Junior Minister in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs he was paid more than twenty thousand ($20,000.00) dollars to file suit against more than fifteen companies and individuals including Colony Club (Barbados) Limited who owed us more than fifty thousand ($50,000.00) for goods and services. All of these files disappeared and when I tried to represent my companies, I was told, we need to have an attorney represent us although I explained we had no money. I wrote to the their attorneys (Clarke Gittens Farmer, who withdrew after I wrote the Registrar and them protesting the violations of my constitutional rights) representing Colony Club, that 166

our files have not been returned to us by Mr, Symmonds. We were never informed that a case was filed.

I requested from the Registrar copies of the documents filed and received none while Colony Club changed attorneys to R.G. Mandeville & Co. and our case was discharged in Colony Club favor. This was not justice, this was robbery. How can our court take away a person property without equal justice?

Because there are too many corrupt attorneys in this country who can only see the dollar sign.

Then there is the matter of Cox vs. Jemmott #38 of 94, wherein a settlement was agreed and Ms. Jemmott was paid out (with Sir Richard and Ralph Thorne, representing me and Margot Green, Ms. Jemmott). Thereafter, the file immediately disappeared and I can not go forward with the complete purchase of the land and the completion of my home; which is now falling apart because the weather is destroying the steel and the exposed concrete floor. Is this justice or more political interference?

I need the Appeal Court of Barbados to determine if I have any rights as a born citizen of Barbados and if I do: Do I have the right to Juridicial Personality. The right to life and humane treatment. The right to personal liberty and freedom from arbitrary arrest and a fair trial? Why did it take the police and the Chief Magistrate approximately three years to inform me in writing of the charges against me and up to this date no reason was given for the withdrawal of the illegal charges that were politically engineered

by Sir David Simmons.

Why did the Chief Magistrate violated the Bill of Rights when he refused to forward my case to a competent court as required? Was it to protect Sir David criminal behavior? He refused to allow the Higher court to decide without delay on the lawfulness of my arrest.

I want the Appeal Court of Barbados or the Caribbean Court of Justice to decide on my right to compensation and my right to take legal action against the government of Barbados. Since Sir David was an employee of the State when he was Attorney General and minister of Home Affairs and later as Chief Justice and any others for compensation for the embarrassment, humiliation, disgrace and destruction of my businesses, my character; these unlawful acts by Sir David, et al destroyed my normal life while making certain persons rich from the illegal drug trade.

All of these acts were clear violation of my Human Rights. The Chief Magistrate and Judges in the High Court denied me my right to reply and call witnesses and violated my freedom of thought and expression. All of these omission by the courts are in violation of the Constitution of Barbados and the The Basic Human Rights Documents (UN and OAS) our country signed off to guarantee individuals the full protection of the law.

This letter was sent by Registered (February 12, 2014) mail and according to legal history it must be assumed that it was delivered since neither the letter nor the signed receipt was returned to me.

Before this I Petitioned the Chief Magistrate Clyde Nicholls when I applied for a legal certificate.

167

It read in part:4. I am making an application under the Bill of Rights as set out in the Constitution of Barbados contained in Section 11 of 23 of Chapter 3 to have my constitutional rights upheld.

5,The Government of Barbados and its Agents have violated the following rights and freedoms:(a) Life, liberty and security of person; (b) Protection for the privacy of my home and other property from deprivation of property without compensation; (c) The protection of the law, and (d) Freedom of conscience, of expression, of assembly and association.

6. That David Simmons then a Member of Parliament as a member of the Barbados Labor party conspired with others for political motives to ruin my character, my businesses and to deprive me of my rights to freedom of speech, of association and from unlawful arrest or detention and has continued to do so as Attorney General and Minister of Home Affairs and now as Chief Justice.

7,That the same David Simmons conspired with Dr. Coppin, Claire Johnson and others including members of the Royal Barbados Police Force to unlawfully remove and broadcast information from a computer loaned to the said Claire Johnson to assist in her further education and to print and broadcast the manuscript: BARBADOS CORRUPT AND CONTENTED in preparation to be forwarded to the publishers. Then the computer was smashed to pieces in the middle of the night at my drive way gate.

I believe in the manhood of humanity, that is, that there are two ways to slide easily through life; to believe every thing or to doubt everything. Both ways save us from thinking about the widespread corruption in our country. You know what? A person can work hard for thirty years or more to build a reputation but it takes a crooked politician just five minutes to ruin it. I believe in family life although I never had one because it is essential but we as a nation must understand that honesty and truth have to fall on fertile soil. To this end, my confidence in life come not from always right but the fear of being wrong, this is why I try very hard not to hurt people.

Success is a choice one makes to keep them fresh and innovative; it is what keep me young in life, I am up before 4 most mornings raking leaves and watering my block gardens. When I go to the bar or rum shop, I limit my time to three hours at the most unless I am playing dominoes and the surrounding is polite; when I arrive home I am well aware of my surrounding and know who I am. I live in the world of thought, that is why I am educated. I think about what I did yesterday, what I am doing today and what I am going to do tomorrow. I enjoy listening to the BBC radio, it entertain and educate, our radio stations provide music and political bias talk shows, very little knowledge. This is why I can laugh at myself.

I see around many angry, out of control kids, all ages because their parents would not take charge with firm and loving limits, if they did we would not have so much youth violence, both boys and girls, still I do not subscribe to the nonsense that if parents spank children they will hit other kids. My mother spanked me and I did not hid other kids at school because I would not have liked the whipping from the 168

Headmaster and the one I was sure to get at home. As a kid you had to respect yourself, your parents, your elders and your teachers, the latter would take it as an insult to them for you to go fighting anywhere and your mother would believe that you embarrassed her.

My mother worked from morning until night as a domestic in a white family home, before she sold sweet potatoes, yams, eddoes, bananas and other agriculture items; although she was bias with favorites, she gave us the gift of love, attention, energy and resources. We did not have much but what she had we had to be contented with, you could not steal or beg; if a neighbor gave yo an apple you took it home to her and then you shared it. Today’s children are spoiled rotten, they want every thing they see other kids at school with and when they can not get it they find other avenues to get it or beat up on their mothers and curse them.

Parents must set limits for today kids who want it all, they must say no at times instead of turning them into wanting machines. They must demonstrates what is important to their lives like hard work, honesty and compassion; if parent neglect to teach children proper values these children grow up having difficulty coping with with life’s disappointment. Some time back women would get on the phone and tell me what they were doing, today they use their smart phone and you can see it all. That turns me off like the PDF “Black Friday Deal”, so many young black women exposed them selves in so many different positions. Yes it is their bodies and I wonder ten, twenty years from today what will they be doing those bodies.

Education is the most important thing in a child’s life and it is more than book work, they need chores in and around the house; your parent is not your maid. Every thing my sister did in the kitchen I was taught to make sure than when I grew up and my woman or wife could not do for us I could show how.

Not beat the hell out of her as many men do because their hands are stuck up in their ass thanks to today’s mothers and fast food outlets. Many of them can’t make a bake or fishcake far less wash and press their clothes. That why so many of them fall into the trap of sex and drug. Parents need to be more positive; children need to be more empathetic and shown how to develop and maintain healthy relationships and a strong sense of morals.

We now live with inflationary economic dangers that successive governments laid for us by constant borrowing and an expanding welfare state along with ever increasing taxes and deficit spending so that they can remain in power. There is no accountability to the people and the nation and the time has come for us to reflect on where we want to go and what type of country we want our future children to live in. Will it be one of increase marijuana abuse along with criminal activities to finance its cost and poor production by the work force or are we going to take serious action and retard the spiraling abuse of drugs. Drug and sex abuse are worse than HIV/AIDS in this country; they are destroying our people in every form and fashion.

I have always said this and many believed that they understood me but they did not and today we see what marijuana abuse do to a country because people thought that they understood what I said but they did not. 2019 started with more murders in January than the whole of 2018 I am told along with a beautiful young woman taking her own life on January 23. Is this what we want and aspire to? I see people buying and smoking tobacco leaves chopped up called “Fanta” but that also have THC, not as much as marijuana but enough to cause damage.

One time we had contempt for illegal drugs, crime and violence, we were judgmental, keen to see our children walk the right path and place criminals in jail but today there is very little punishment for criminals, only wistful sadness while mothers are praising them as good but good children don’t rob, steal and murder. If my child does something like that, he is past tense, I will stand by a child if he is defending his property or self but to break into some person home, is off the table. We have to be judgmental, see the wrongs our children are involved in and offer guidance; if we don’t walk our children along the right path, then we have become a society with out justice. We must have respect for life and its value. These drug addicts (not users) and criminals are spitting in the face of our country.

Please note that there is a difference between a person addicted to a substance and a person who use it, many people drink alcohol but most are not addicted to it.

A parent job is to teach and show a child the way forward and do not give me that scrap that single mother have a hard job raising children, my mother had six of us and not one turned to crime or illegal drugs. These women are responsible for the way their children are bent. In my growing up, mothers demanded and got respect from their children but today the mother and children are playing the same game. It is common to see mothers and children, mostly sons smoking pot and drinking alcohol. The dignity of life is lost on these women. I know school children, both boys and girls who make more money than their mothers and that place the shoe on the other foot.

Our Parliament is a mafia unto itself because there is a gold mine to be had from walking up those steps as a member. Take the MPs’ pension scheme that is way more generous than anything within the reach of ordinary employees. While most employees have to put in a minimum of twenty five years to receive a pension, MPs’ put in less than ten and if they are ministers they take home monthly more than $8,000.00. Most black employees do not take home half that much when the month come.

This pension scheme I believe is modeled after the Canadian one in place in the 1980’s and that was filled with shocks and surprised as described by then member of the House of Commons, Deborah Grey, MP. Who stated that if she stayed 15 years in parliament her pension would rise to 75 percent of her six best years of earnings or $48,300. based on her then salary and if she lasted more than those fifteen years she would not have to pay any more contributions. There is a lot more absurdity in this expose when she entered Parliament as the first Reform Party member elected to Parliament. Our MPs’ pension scheme is heavy handed and a burden to the country.

I mentioning this lady because she campaigned on a platform to bring integrity back to Parliament and reducing the cost of government. Mia Mottley in leading the Barbados Labor Party to victory in 2018 have made the same promises to clean up dirty politics and government corruption. The Prime Minister retiring allowance is nothing more than a golden parachute and is a clear demonstration of hypocrisy and greed. The late Tom Adams government gave birth to this fiscally and morally irresponsibility. We must stand up and face this fiscal reality.

Since 2001 I have been trying without success to have my constitutional rights respected and the previous government administration with its head so deep in drug trafficking and every other form of corruption, did every thing to protect those involved claiming that the main man heading the plan to destroy my life and well being was his mentor.

The office worker, Claire Johnson, not only was a thief and liar but supplied the other two leading the task force of corruption, money laundering and human rights violations to take my life so that my mouth would be closed permanently and they would ride the white horse to capitalism. Here are some of the proof that those responsible for the administration of justice turned their back on and closed their eyes to what is right.

It is well founded in every court where the rule of law is respected that all persons are equal before the law and are entitled without discrimination, to equal protection of the law. My right to prompt recourse before a competent court against acts that violated my fundamental rights are recognized by the constitution whether written or implied in our laws if we are still a democratic state. When a Prime Minister and his gang of cohorts decide that the state can deny me my constitutional rights because the man they are protecting is more important to them than our country and the rule of law, I knew that there was no possibility of judicial remedy and that the competent authorities would not enforce the law to protect my rights and grant remedies but would support drugs lords in their criminal activities.

Some thing is very wrong with the way we appoint judges and magistrates in this country; it must come to an end with an independent body, free from political bias, to select and appoint persons to the Bench, There is too much political and financial corruption in our judicial system where too many of the judges are incompetent and only got appointed because of their political connections. Many persons have said that my writing complaining of corruption, poor production in the government services and a lot more touched too many person aches. I have a constitutional right to participate in government. That starts with my right to vote and to take part in the conduct of public affairs. To speak out when I see wrong doings or to praise those that serve their country needs. No government department should be able to discriminate against any citizen in this country. We need to take the dirty party politics found openly in the police service away, all civil servants must keep their party loyalty out of their duties on behalf of their country.

171

In Barbados there are a lot of hypocrites like one John Goddard who is against same sex marriages, there is rampant homosexual activities in this country, people in the Church should be the last persons to voice any opinion on homosexuality, how many thousand of our little boys and girls they raped and molested here, in Europe, North America and the once British Commonwealth over the years and you know if it is one hundred thousand, then it is more than a million those religious leaders sodomized in Africa and the Caribbean where the black man was kept in chains long after physical slavery was over and mental slavery still live and show its ugly face so often. The Anglican Church which came out of the Catholic Church inherit the art of playing up in shit from its mother where the Pope up to this day would not come out and condemn the evil action of many Priests and Bishops.

The Catholic Church is as evil as the British Anglican Church and all the other nations that supported and practiced slavery, this is why I will not get on my knees and pray to a God, real or not because He stood and watch the violations of these children civil and human rights by his disciples and did not strike them down. God has to be held accountable for the sins of His Reverends, Priests, Bishops and those by what ever name they use while singing His praise. These men and women used His Church and its power over the weak to inflict humiliation and pain in His name and He turned a blind eye.

In my book every thing about partaking in homosexuality acts are wrong but who am I to decide what is right and what is wrong; I was told from my cradle that this is God’s world, He made every thing in His own image. I believed all that as a young boy but as I grew older I realized it was all bull shit and while we have to believe in something I find it hard to believe in God. I would rather believe in President Donald Trump, an idiotic jackass, because I can see and know what he is, I can relate to him in what he want but I have no stomach for his diatribe and war mongering. Maybe he is right in his direct approach in dealing with the Chinese, Mexico ands other about trade with the USA but his action against little children, separating them from their parent is as evil as racial discrimination and he hang out on that beach.

I believe in people, I believe in agriculture and the law, but I keep far from the Church; you know some Church Leaders are real human being but most are downright nasty and dishonest. One in Trinidad killed another while one in Barbados had sex with a minor but this happens all over the world. So why should I trust and believe in them, most of them are greedy and bleed the poor; they are into preaching as a form of employment and enrichment, not to do good and improve the lives and well being of the people they are supposed to serve in the name of God. I always believed that when a person became a religious leader, he did so not only to spread the word of God, but also to assist people in need, to ease their suffering and to make their lives a little bit better, Then, why are there so many religious cannibals preaching, raping, cheating and doing more harm than good to these gullible people?

I have seen over and over again in this country poor black men sent to jail on circumstantial evidence, which means that only the person who committed the crime knows what happened, all the others are guessing and to say otherwise, is mendacious. Direct evidence is where a witness can state that he saw 172

for himself what took place but with circumstantial evidence you must always assume the fact. If your wife came home soaking wet, you can assume that it was or is raining and unless she tells you this is so or you go outside and see for yourself that it is raining, you do not know that it is a fact. All you have is an inference.

This is why I know that the Bar Association has fell flat on its face and have only been self serving; it operate more like a Japanese gang that an association interested in the rule of law and human and civil rights, the back bone of democracy. It should be called the Pfeffer ( the German word for pepper) Society because it does burn the poor in the ass all year round, it does not stand for what any legal association should represent. It does not weed out the black sheep from within but shield them so as to protect its name but all Bar Associations in the developing world have a bad representation and lawyers as a whole in this world are not like-able and no matter where one go in this world you will hear people giving them a bad name related their dishonesty. People can not do without them, still they are always under suspicion.

The truth be told there are many honest and hard working attorneys in countries like Canada, Australia, the USA and the EU where attorney are not granted political favors when they cheat and rob their clients or their performance is below par. They are charged and taken before a Disciplinary Committee and when a case is found to be answered, they are taken before a judicial committee made up of Judges and tried. If found guilty, are suspended from practice, send to jail and automatically lose their license.

They can also be fined and suspended from practice. This is very rare in Third World countries where persons become attorneys to make money and climb the social ladder. I was informed that there are approximately 4,000 attorneys in this country of 270,000 people, that is about 670 people for every attorney.

For those among us who like to blame the British and the USA for every thing that we do wrong, let me explain that neither country forced The Honorable Errol Walton Barrow to join the United Nations and the Organization of American States. We did it on our own free will and agreed to honor the conditions for membership but after “The Dipper� died, those that followed, changed our laws or add laws hat violated those conventions we signed on to voluntary, no one forced us and it is us who back slided from respecting our people human and civil rights.

It is us who have not given the police the support, man power, training and tools that they need. We have done the same thing with the civil service by allowing staff not to re-educate themselves to live and work in an ever changing world. There are government staff with more than ten years with the same qualifications, if any, when they entered the civil service; but with the unions backing this money sucking poor work performance service will not improve. Now, when government was forced to bite the bullet and send home staff the unions demanded last in first out. This is a policy that betrayed what the country wanted, people who can fit into today’s work force, people with the qualifications and ability to perform their duties.

173

Is the unions position right. I do not think so. Those that were laid off should have been those that are not qualified for the job through performance; why are we spending so much money on free education and skill training and still not making use of these qualifications. If the present staff want to keep their job, let them become qualified for today needs. Can a doctor become an attorney and a teacher a police officer, no, they were trained for a particular post, there is no place in society for paper pushers or typist. This is the computer and information technology age. Let the unions and their members get with it.

Every person has the right to have his physical, mental, and moral integrity respected but is this what the unions are doing. Why should an employee who have spent more than three years pursuing a particular qualification for a job be sent home and some person who may have the ability to perform parts of the position be retained at his or her expense. The time has come for government to make its position clear by stating clearly the qualification for each position in government and the present holders who are not qualified given three years to do so or be replaced.

I have asked myself and others why so many of us cry out loud that we are proud Bajans and still tear it down with our corrupt ways and criminal activities. Take the man who molested his daughter well into her twenties and she had to run off and get married so as to retrieve her dignity. Can he feel good about himself as a father and a human being. You see, many questions like these don’t have answers, so we end up with a terrible lesson to learn about ourselves and our family life. \ Some person once wrote that truth is a hard master and costly to serve, but it simplifies all problems and I agree because no person belongs to me except in memory. I am not talking about after life, I am talking about claiming ownership of your partner and children; even if you are the only bread winner in a home, you do not own your partner and where children are concerned, you are just the parent with responsibility to see that they grow to adult life. When they become men and women with a life of their own, let them go, so you are left with memories of the days they spent with you. Now you have to look forward to what they make out of living as men and women; it is like planting a tree, you watch it grow, then the fruit. You can then admire it in full bloom as a mother or father. They owe you nothing but thanks for raising them. What ever they give you in return is love and thanks, be grateful. As a father don’t worry about what the mother say to the child, expect the worst because mothers who are separated from the fathers of their children always blame the fathers and give the children a very bias view. Blame him for every thing. They never do anything wrong.

During your life and you have not experienced pain, then you have not been born because all of us who have enjoyed life knows that there is no enjoyment of life without pains and disappointment. So, you are a human wrapped up in your lifestyle of lies and deceit, so I can say you are wrapped up in yourself and you make a very pretty small package. Mendacity is a flaw in character and like every one else who have opposed my writing for more than fifty years knows what to do. If you think I have defamed 174

you take the matter to court, you may have the money or know where to get it from. I have the proof, the time and the energy to stand by what I write. Therefore, I do not have to apologize to any one for what I write. If I am wrong and you show me that I am, I will apologize but you have to do so in the open. Things hidden from view does not light up my eyes.

THIS IS WHY I AM CALLING ON CHIEF JUSTICE SIR MARSTON GIBSON TO GRANT ME THE LEAVE I NEED TO TAKE MY CASE TO THE CARIBBEAN COURT OF JUSTICE ALONG WITH THE TOOLS I NEED TO DO SO. I AM TIRED AND FED-UP WITH THIS DISCRIMINATION TO PROTECT SIR DAVID SIMMONS POLITICAL CORRUPTION AND REVENGE TACTICS. We need to let democracy come out from under the bush. Let the breeze of human right and civil order blow across our nation. Let us be a free people, mentally and physically with self respect and dignity for all.

I want to know what steps the Bar Association have taken against Attorney Albert Sealy, who represented me against Elizabeth Ann Jemmott. For years I took care of her and her children and she disappointed me day after day. I recall when Attorneys Carrington and Sealy, sent her a letter dated September 24, 1994 for arrears of $830.00 in a letter signed by Sheridan Reece. I asked her how come she taking my money to pay land rent ($3.00) every week and for the last 276 weeks she had not paid it. She blamed her son and when I asked to see the receipt book, I never saw it. I had to pay the rent twice, this time by check. Ann is a total ass. In that same letter I found out that she had made plans to pay$3.85 per square foot for the land when the agreed price was $3.00 agreed to by our legal representative. She did not have the money to pay but she did not want me to purchase the land in her son’s name, I sure as hell was not going to buy it in her name. When you can not trust the man or woman who lives in the same house as you, as your partner, the house is not a home. Her dishonesty to herself, kept on for years, I was well aware that she was sleeping all about, more so with Jeffrey Rayside but to cheat on your self is a moron way of self love. She was trying to back raise me, I had already paid the deposit and wanted her son, Kirk, name of the property, she was adamant against that he has grown up and I understand made a name for himself in England. Good for him.

Back in 1991, there was the third and the first letter that I became aware of that the land rent was not being paid. This one came from Walcott Jones and Goodridge dated 4th December, 1991 for $85.00 to be paid on or before the 13th. December 1991. This was signed by Nigel R Jones. Again I had to write a check. I find it hard to follow the way some women think. She wanted a new home and her own business selling alcohol and food, but while she would slave for her aunt in a similar business she was not prepared to do so for herself. So that idea fell flat on its face.

Kelah who gave up her dreams of establishing her own business for another woman, but after enjoying their trip on a tourist liner she was dumped. People should not get into a relationship for a day, month 175

or year, get in for the long haul; this is why so many women are making men and women pay for their pleasure. One woman told me if you want to ride in my car, pay for the gas, no free rides.

The time has come for our people to keep our government accountable, yes, I know it is said that we have the least corrupt government in the Caribbean, so said Transparency International (?) but our government is suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder and other destructive political mental ailments. Our country nearly came crashing down at our feet but we had a long over due general election and we got a new Prime Minister. So far, so good. We have to deal with corruption because it has become pernicious, to the extent that it breaks the laws of decency and morality; too many of us have an unconscious mental life where we hide the truth and roll with the flow but the time has come, we need to wake up and curtail the spiraling political corruption within.

Too many of us have lived too long on an aquaplane and still does, corruption in this country have eaten away at every corner of our integrity, For Sir David, I see an example of a comber and he knows that is a breaker, long, large wave that have reached its peak and rolls over on a beach, breaking into foam but where life and decency is concerned you are nothing more than a shoal, you have to become the sea, you have to see today not Tom, Dick, Jeffrey, or Harry but what today and tomorrow offers.

You have to see what is good for your country and your family, Money is not every thing although it can buy most things. It depends on the person and their character.

I know and belief that if one work hard success is within your reach, that is why I do not use or sell any form of illegal drug or anything that will hurt me or my country; I know the damage corruption can do.

As a nation we have to look carefully at our personal values, how we spend our time and take part in family life, work and civic responsibilities. Today what most of us think about is money and what it can purchase, we go to church but is far from God; we live in houses that are not homes because there are no family ties. Every ten person you pass six or seven of them smoke marijuana, that is their God and salvation after sex. More and more of our people are multi-tasking when it comes to sex. What about work ethic? Is it alive and well?

We must return and believe in our country, believe in family, believe in our parents values and believe that hard work will bring financial prosperity. What has happened to our social conscience? How comes we live in glass houses but the glass is heavily tinted. Look, life is not easy when you have to work for what you want, very seldom things that come free and easy are not enjoyable, you must give back to society in some form or fashion. Love yourself first, love your family and your country. Please don’t pretend.

Look, life was never easy for me as I have demonstrated before and I do not blame any person for my mistakes or the steep mountains I had to climb. My first wife grew up spoiled by her mother, she could not cook or do any house work; I had to employ two maids to assist her in the house work and taking care of our child while I ran a twenty four hours a day electrical engineering business. Her mother and 176

the church came first, she could not direct her two maids in any direction and this extra cost ran my business into the ground and I left Barbados owing the bank and others. I could not take defeat. I settled in the USA and she refused to come, claiming she could not leave her mother alone. So I moved on. Mothers and fathers should teach their children to take care of themselves, give them chores, show them how to cook and wash their clothes, to be independent.

My next mistake was to marry a friend of mine daughter, a white girl from Atlanta and that was my first hard shocking lesson in dealing with a person hook on drugs, she had to have her injections and finally I found were the needle marks were. I did not know what to look for and her father was not a bad person, he was a good friend who believed that marriage would heal her. We visited each other homes and I spent more time at his home with his wife and children than in my apartment and that was not easy being a black man in the South and they being white. Finally the family realized that she needed special care and by the time she was rehabilitated, I was ready to move on and I did. Not because I had stop loving her but I was scared that she might start back.

The whole family and I are still friends, they spend vacations here and we spend time together, they even wanted to help me in this situation but I refused. I am a grown man, I must carry my ship to sea and bring it back, I do not take charity from any person, even to ask one of my children for help hurts so much and make me angry at the corrupter of our country. Most people always talk about the things they do for others and I can not allow any person to wash their mouth on me.

Then there are those who do not care about themselves and believe because they are women, every thing they can get away with. Rosemary Merchant is in Barbados on a six months stay and she can look for work and a sponsor for a long term work permit but her hand are fast. She came to my office, sent by a neighbor and when she left she stole the charger for one of my phones costing seventy eight ($78.00) dollars. She sent every thing she had stolen from off my desk. Things I did not even miss but never the charger but it also turn out that what she included on her job application and I sent to the personnel Officer at a company turned out to be false. She does not have a degree in accounting.

You have to be very careful trying to help immigrants, they have too many names not found in their passport or their country identification cards, so one must be weary of them but those creating the most serious problems are coming out of Jamaica. The first thing you do is ask their name and to see their passport before you hire them. Take Lorna who used that name at work on a poultry processing farm but the day when she had to apply to the local police for a character certificate her true name came out to be Ilene James. How can they start work in this country with false documents in the first place. Two reasons come to mind. One, they are women and the person hiring them are men. Lorna is very rude, common and loud. I had to ban her from my home. From the time she arrive at the gate she bellows and my neighbors kept complaining about her obnoxious behavior. Every employer must do what is right for our country, if you are employing an immigrant, make sure you have their correct name from their passport and its number, so that in case of emergency you can assist the police or immigration. Look 177

some of these people are totally dishonest. One of our company employed a Guyanese, later he wanted a letter of employment and he sought credit for household goods. He got the items, shipped them home and quit his job without giving notice but we had his passport number and the police made the connection.

Lorna, would turn up after eight at night, after work wanting sour sop and bay leaf leaves and when I tell her I am not going up in the trees until day break, she would get into a tantrum like a little child.

Then she would claim that all men just want to jump on her and when I asked her if I ever approached her for sex, she would say no but she can tell by looking at me, that I want too. I can not help trying to help others but a time comes when you have to put your food down and after I set up the appointment for the police certificate, I wash my hands of her. I like to see women, no matter how poor they are acting like a lady, that is what I told Dawn, that is, show some self respect. Dawn is here but the sun has not risen yet.

A friend of mine met a woman, she took him home, introduced him to the man living in the house as her brother; soon he realized that was not true. He started to raise his voice one night, the woman told him to shut up and he kept on. The woman picked him and tossed him through the closed door and back through a window, continued to beat the hell out of him. He ended up walking with crotches and severe pains all over his body. She made him repair the house and then told him not to come back; if you saw him, he was like a baby with acute myocarditis. A life-threatening inflammation of the heart muscle. He sure as hell was stricken by the Cocksackie virus because he died soon after.

This was a man who mistreated his wife and kids I included these incidents to show how life turn and roll and you have to deal with them in a positive way. You can not buy friends, for friends bought do not worth the thought. People who support these values must realize that each person within our society opinion counts but they must be along these lines. More production and better products. Better services and better government and you want to have a voice, you want to be part of your country.

Claire Johnson, went to secondary school and left the same way she entered, barely able to read and write but her friend Ms. Slocombe begged me over and over to give her a chance, so it was decided only if she agrees to go back to school. The first application she came with was so poor in grammar and use of English that by the time I finished with my red pen it was more red than black in her application, errors, errors cant done. So I told her to go hone and do it over. When she returned two days later, the first error was miss spellings in her home address; this was careless. I called Ms. Slocombe and told her I could not assist her if she could not take time to read what she typed and make the corrections before printing it. She came back with a perfect application, no errors. I found out later that Ms. Slocombe wrote and typed it and she only had to sign.

178

Six months later Claire Johnson had made no effort to improve her employment skills, so she was sent on a course at Capitol Business Institute, to under go courses in Mathematics, English Language, Principles of Accounts, Principles of Business and Information Technology. We paid for the complete course but she choose to attend classes for only three of those subjects (Principles of Accounts, Principles of Business and Information Technology) while making us believe that she was attending all of the courses. She collected more than $800.00 to purchase books and other items to assist her in these studies.

Gail King, of the Training Division informed us in her letter dated July 14, 2003 that her attendance “has been poor”; that of the three subjects she attended, “she took only two (2) exams, with an average of 46% for Principles of Accounts, and an average of 26% for Principles Of Business. The Principles of Business instructor believes, that Claire did not study the material thoroughly. The Information Technology instructor reports that her attendance for Term 1 was fairly good, but she was absent a number of sessions in Term 11. Claire was also absent for the term exam.”

Ms. king went further and stated that, “Ms. Johnson’s grades can only be improved if her attendance and general attitude to the program is improved.” We spent nearly four thousand dollars trying to get her pass reading and writing and what we got in return? A lesson in ungratefulness and up to this day she has not tried to improve her employment skill only playing left field to the right back.

Up to this day she has not shown any receipts or the books she said she bought with our money and the court refused my request for the same. This was after the Chief Magistrate refused to allow the tape of our discussion on why she was being sent home; every step of the way the judicial criminals blocked my effort for justice.

I am saying this to show how corrupt our society has become due to the greed and corrupt practices of certain members government, be it BLP or DLP and we the voters like it so. The same woman who asked me to give her a chance at employment headed a family of four without support from any of the fathers and an employee, her neighbor, asked if we could assist with repairing the house they lived in. I told her that if she could get the needed workers to help the company would provide the materials needed and we did repair the house but I had to go a step further, the mother was on a number of medications and the children were scared of her. Many of the employees did not like her attitude but completed the repairs because of the children.

I had a doctors examined her and he had to call in another doctor, the long and short of the matter she was doing something very foolish. One, she was attending too many doctors and taking all kinds of medication for the same problem and this had an adverse affect so I called in the Child Care Board and the professionals dealt with the matter. She was not separated from her children but she was weaned off the excessive drug abuse, still I continue to be scared of her. She was never satisfied with any thing that 179

was done for her, she always wanted more and when you refuse, she became abusive. Today she is a very different person and a good mother thanks to the personnel at the Child Care Board.

When the head is bad, it affect the whole body. In this country we are starting to disrespect each other while smiling at the tourists but we better wake up and look around us at the violence be it criminal or domestic, we are destroying our country and self. I remember an article by Michael Kelly in the Washington Post who wrote an article on President Bill Clinton and his sexual behavior, money laundering, questionable and improper donations. Our politicians do it here but you will never see a word about it in any newspaper. One day we may see a Prime Minister heading the most ethical Administration in our history, until then we have to bite the bullet’ Compare the action and behavior of Sir David Simmons with indicted former Housing Secretary Henry Cisneros or convicted former Associate Attorney General Webster Hubbell who was involved in the obstruction of justice.

Too many of us like to shout that we are proud Barbadians, but do we stand up and be counted, No. We are only interested in what money can buy, we like to pull each other down and show them no respect.

We live in a world of mendacity, untruthfulness and falsehood, we would cut the nipples off our mother’s breast and sell to move up in society because we want what others have at any cost. This is why the drug trade has become a war party. Do you see the ages of the young men involved in murder and gun violence. They are between twelve and thirty five years, men who have forsaken their education for marijuana and money. Men who have led an unproductive life. When you live a criminal life, there is never any peace; you sleep but your eyes and ears are always open because you know how the game is played.

Why have the drug trade progress to the point that it is more profitable than tourism and providing no services because too many of our political leaders are linked to corruption and have ties to our local mafia. It is not just the poor trying to get out of poverty selling and trading in illegal drugs; business people who want to expand and whose greed force them to take the risk because they know no jail time await them and their ill-gotten gains will always be safe. Government refuse to provide the tools for the police and the court to take the money and property where persons can not show how they legally came to have homes, investment portfolios, real estate, etc. Nothing will level the justice playing field in this country like a clean government and integrity legislation.

Barbadians, along these lines your opinion is very important at home, at work, at school and in our government administration. Your participation in your society will allow our young and faltering democracy to grow. So do not join the get rich crowd, join those who are prepared to work legally for what they need. Be part of those who want our country to be a leading democracy where respect for human rights and civil liberty are paramount. Let your opinion play an important part in our society. It will count. I have never met a fool that I did not learn something from. Look around you carefully and see if you can understand why our political system deprives so many children of hope, happiness and love; too many of our children are subjected to abuse and neglect, this is one of the main factors that 180

send our little children to use illegal drugs and criminal activities. Young mothers very rare offer their children any realistic hope, because children can not give children what they need, the love and care of a family. You can not give what you do not have and never got from your mother.

Yes, we have too many in politics who are calculating and selfish; in the church they are mercenary and sordid. In the work place sordid and venal. In the house we call home grasping and avaricious. We are the ones responsible for what our society have come to be. We as parents have let our children down, we have refused to manage our time and demand that our children help around the home.

We do not assist them in motivation to learn and cooperate; let them understand that they are part of family life and must play their part. Hence they must have, need and act responsibility in the home.

Teach them what they will need to be men and women. Many of our youths can not cook, wash their clothes, clean their room and take a family break from their smart phone and if these phones conk out the children are loss because our children do not read a book or newspaper; can not write a letter in standard English. Therefore, when I see them all string out on dope and alcohol, I know their mothers and fathers neglected their upbringing to become productive, happy, responsible adults.

The misuse of illegal drugs including marijuana is like social viral nucleic acid; men and women selling their souls to get a smoke or snort, still we fail to see the social destruction, Some men smell like garbage dump, from their clothes, mouth and shoes come that awful fumes that make one want to vomit. This love of money and pot has made our people queerer than we suppose, many have moved on to more dangerous expensive drugs because the gravity to these drugs is directly proportional to the craving they want from these drugs. We have men and women who can not start their day with out alcohol or illegal drugs, mostly in Barbados it is marijuana. Each of us live only in proportion to what we create.

Yes, we are free to do as we please or like but not as one like or please. This is why so many men and women despise the bonds of marital fidelity...an objective opinion but at one time marriage according to society was beneficial but we like the rest of the world is going through a cultural change with the burdens of civilized morality becoming too heavy for many to carry.

For instance and if the truth be told satisfying intercourse does not last long within most relationship, therefore, people are finding ways to keep them alive but it is not safe sex. Most of us have more than one sexual partner because after three years communications and attraction start to break down and fail.

This is why men and women who want their association to last have developed a spiritual communication, not the biblical kind, to stop maladies of sexual frustration. One must work on his or her relationship every day if they want it to last. We have to see the smoke and mirrors, the illusion and misdirection in our lives,

181

You live in a house with your children and their mother, I live alone and no one can tell me what to do in my home, this why I am happy, there is no nagging. I have went through it all. Women who will give you sex when ever but no communication, love and affection, then there are others who talk about every thing except the relationship and family that are going down the drain. Many persons think all one want is sex but there is more to life than sex. I would like a female partner that I can work with doing the household chores, cooking and baking; when you do things together in a house and enjoy doing them together there is always the air of peace flowing through because it has become a home.

You can find a woman who says she loves you but she drives you out of the house with her constant complains and wants. Nothing pleases her. Then there is the partner who is thinking about their first love, no matter how much he or she ill-treated them.

To keep a family together call for excellence in communication and respect; if you are on a pursuit of happiness, there must be equality, sharing and real love. It is one thing to say you love some person but your action tells the truth about your feelings, many times you are called upon to sacrifice essential personal goals and work towards one that involves the whole family because you are no longer singular. The friends you keep and associate with can not understand and see the forest from the trees and neither can you, because you are too much taken up with your personal wants.

The only standard that a father or a mother can perform in a family is one of excellence, now understand this, excellence is not trying to provide everything a member of your family wants; it is when you can convince persons within that contentment with what the family can afford is the best foot forward. They can admire what they see but they can not get every thing that cross before their eyes, to covet is walking down the path of corruption and dishonesty. Tell and show your family that education is the foundation to a better life; your job as a parent is to make sure they have that foundation along with respect and love for others.

Too many children get involve in drugs, sex and stealing among other dirty paths when they can not live within their means; when you crave things you can not afford, you always have to look over your shoulders. When you are honest and respect yourself, you have nothing to worry about but living in a democracy. Never embrace mere adequacy, you will move down a very dangerous road to your own hell.

We lack self respect and the courage to do what is right for our country and self; with all the talk and evidence around the new administration have not asked that any of the DLP ministers be charged with corruption and the siphoned off of taxpayers money. So the more we talk, the less we see and do. It will be a very long time before we see a politicians before the court. We are a nation of cowards because we lack the ability to do what is right for our nation and its democracy. We need to pass a strong Integrity Bill with teeth to bite to confront the wide spectrum of concerns being voiced by our people, we are a nation of a lot of talk but very little action.

182

After I received the letter from the CCJ I appeared before a new Judge and she granted me the legal certificate as set out in my petition and according to the instruction I received; a copy of which I sent to Shawn S. Carter, Director (ag) of the Community Legal Services and served a copy on the Director of Public Prosecution but within three days I was recalled to court before another judge and the certificate canceled without any explanation. The attorney appointed was told not to handle any Human or Civil Rights matters nor any constitutional questions. So Sir David, you see how far political corruption has spread its wings? You action took more than sixteen years of my life due to political victimization and discrimination. Even when I was directed by Justice Worrell to visit Mr. Carter office he ignored me.

Every Barbadian is born to equal rights, but we are class oriented and we discriminate against other because of the school they attended or the community and the house they live in; we never judge a person by the character and ability they demonstrate. We also judge they by the clothes they wear and the car they drive; their physical features just as teachers act as if all children in their class are equally gifted and hard working. This can lead to rejection within class and humiliation to the student. Hence the student think and believe that he is stupid when he is a slow learner. There are also other reasons why some students stand out. One, when the have parents that care about their education and take an active part in their schooling. Two, the people in the village where they live and who influence their lives.

A child who grow up in a house where there is constant verbal and physical violence between parents can find it very hard to learn or the life style of one or both of their parents can attribute to their classification at school and other places, very seldom do we judge a child on his own merit but then we must accept that it is the right of every man to be a fool. I am not saying that all of us are born with equal faculties and powers because to assume such would be as gross fraud, as glaring an imposition on the credulity of mankind as ever practiced.

I live to maintain and improve on my standard of life, some call me old fashioned but I am not; I have learn that people must change. When I was a boy we all believed that homosexuality and lesbianism were wrong in the eyes of God but today some Churches are preaching that this same God has opened his arm and welcome them. Maybe they have come to this conclusion because of the large number of little boys and girls these preachers have molested, assaulted and damaged their lived for ever, so it would be best to leave it up to God to cleanse. I do not go along the Catholic Church and accept them because I can not change who or what they are, I am in no position to judge, not even myself but when it comes to homosexuality, I respect it as I do all the divisions of religion, the same God but so many interpretation of what He represent.

I am not a John Goddard who writes representing the Anglican Church, against homosexuality but I know that he was alive when the choir master used to molest the little boys who sang in the St. Michael Cathedral Choir and he can remember the late member of Parliament, Lionel Craigg comment in Parliament to the late MP Brandford Taitt. You must understand what is freedom so that when one 183

study the history of white Western civilization the freedom and civil liberties that whites enjoyed, blacks never did and many today don’t. They had no tolerance and respect for the diversity of the cultures of the natives in North, South and Central America, Africa and the Caribbean. They forced their religious upon us and murdered and punished our fore parents if they practiced their own; now we have black people telling us that Europeans religions are better. How can they be when all religions are serving the same God. We must have respect and tolerance for life diversity. We are still living according to the new culture, forced upon us by the oppressive creation of the then white males.

We can not accept Europeans religions, and turn a blind eye to the feminists, blacks and other minorities be they gay or lesbians; they are all the children of the same God. I am all for each person worshiping their God in their own way, no one should force their religion upon another. I am not going to stand like a dam fool and turn my back when I see the lack of morality, decency and honesty. These were the things that we used to be taught in schools, in the home and in the Church, it was these broadcasting and advocating that made our community safe for young children to grow up and respect live and they fellow man. Today, there is very little respect for people be it human life or their country.

I would like to see the complete removal of discrimination against blacks, women and other minorities including the disabled and homosexuals. It is mostly men who have turn this world into the grave yard it is today; every way you turn there is violence, victimization, abuse, pain and death. We are not our brother keeper any more. White colonists were the source of almost every evil in present day society.

They raped our bodies, our souls and our countries, Here in Barbados, there is no political correctness. We have people who do not want to give up or share the power they wield, hence, they oppose to change even the implementing of the international conventions pertaining to human rights. It is us who have no power and want changes that they want to destroy. Too many dishonest people are ruining, not ruling our country for a long time. Do we not have freedom of study and inquiry, we must have political freedom to question our Members of Parliament when they ran afoul of the law and integrity. We must be able to hold our Parliamentarians to the highest standards and so our judges who are way below par because they are chosen because of political affiliation not their legal skill and ability to think and act independently. Why we see ourselves in servile activities when we should be seen as proud and intelligent persons performing our duties to our country. Why have we not become independent people to the world instead of allowing those persons who are symbols of racism and sexism to use and abuse us.

Every time a politicians, a police, custom or immigration officer take a bribe, he degrade the whole black race; we should never stoop so low to be bought like pigs and cattle. We must promote all public servants on merit and when they do not perform up to standards set, send them back to school and if they still fail to carry out their duties adequately fire them. The trade unions are the back bone of the widespread corruption in this country and when their members go out on strike, those who walk out pay should be deducted. Too many of then abuse the sick days benefits, they call in sick but can be seen in town shopping or they are too tired after a night partying. Not at the expense of the employer. Sick 184

leave is to be used when one is sick or feeling ill; when one claims to be sick, taking their employer’s money is fraud. Let them go, fire the lazy dishonest bastards.

What we have here is a betrayal of democracy in the form of corrupt politicians and civil servants, incompetent and corrupt judges; we need look at how we appoint judges and hire civil servants, every appointment must be open to inspection. No friendship and political ties, every thing on merit; when they fail to perform, let them go and find some person who will work for the taxpayers money. Nothing must be contrary to human and civil rights laws and accepted doctrines. Our Prime Minister powers must be limited so that he or she can not hold their ministers to ransom, party member must be able to call the Prime Minister to account as the Conservative did to Theresa May in 2018 over Brexit. Every thing our Prime Minister do in office must be for the good of our country and not to fill his or her pockets or those of their friends.

I do not want any person to like me but to understand where I am coming from. Look BLP members in Parliament are shouting and raving about the corrupt practices of the last DLP administration but will we ever see any action taken against any member of that administration? Believe me, none will be taken because one hand wash the other; why you do not see either party taking steps with integrity and corruption legislation. The BLP started first and stalled, then the DLP under the late David Thompson but he died before he had a chance to full fill his promise to the people but his successor Fruendel Stuart failed miserably as he ate the pie. Will Prime Minister Mia Mottley succeed where former PM Owen Arthur failed, I hope so for the good of our country.

Now Mr. William Brewster who claimed that he is Rasta Willy, I hope that I have placed all of the facts here so that you will stop spreading your mendacity to idiots who believe you because they are too ignorant to read and understand what is written. I was arrested because the now Sir David Simmons, the former long standing member of Parliament, senior attorney, former Attorney General and Minister of Home Affairs with responsibility for the police and judicial services and last but not lease former Chief Justice and one of the members of the Commission that created the Caribbean Court of Justice (the CCJ) and his family doctor and supporter of the BLP. Dr. Ricardo Coppin informed the police that I was money laundering and that I violated the Telecommunication Act. They had all of the above information before them when they created their revenge plans to destroy my life.

These matters has been before the High Court since 2003 directly so since certain senior members of the Barbados Labor Party constructed and planned my arrest because I had the courage to write about things I believe were wrongs being perpetrated in the country of my birth. Men and women in public office should set an exemplary profile for others to follow instead of the deplorable behavior we have to tolerate, They fight in public with their mistresses, male or female, same gender or other wise. They threaten people with their position of authority including police officers. They live between the idea and the reality, between the motion and the act and then they fall like the shadow. We have too many 185

Hollow Men and Women in politics today who are in it for the money and the glory instead of their country and people.

I am at a loss to understand why our Court of Appeal could not understand or knew that impeachment information can be critically important to a fair trial. This is known and practiced in all free and democratic countries but not in Barbados. This lead me to wonder how many people in this country appearing before black judges were treated fairly; you see black people ill treat their own worst than whites do. We are jealous of each other and always try to pull each other down.

A trial is the presentation of facts in the search of the truth so that justice is served but today we have moved away to where a trial is a contest between the two sides and justice is neglected or denied so that one side will win and the other lose. You see the prosecutor cheating and the defense bending the rules; no one plays fair in our courts today when you have judges like some of them we have here, it is nothing short of racketeering. It is a conspiracy to impede the judicial process against black people in this country of two Barbados.

First, our courts need to be open to the public and any court where the general public can not witness what transpire within, has some thing to hide. First, we live in a very malicious country and no secret is safe from the public, our people like to gossip; if you want to hear them attend a church service, be it a funeral or wedding and the onlookers can tell you about every person entering the church. Another thing here is that our people so long as the police arrest and charge you, you are guilty; it is very rear that an accused person is set free.

These things flies in the face of our constitution and our civil and human rights laws; the police beat the hell out of some accused and force them to sign statements, not like in years gone by but one still hear of police brutality such as not allowing a suspect to have food, water or use the bathroom and most of the police cells and rooms are dirty seven days each week although there are maids to keep them clean.

These things are not right. Even when a person is convicted he or she is still a human being and should be treated as such. Yes, their liberties are restricted and most defense attorneys are afraid of making waves.

The impeachment information I requested from the court was in the hands of the police at the time I requested it and was required to be handed over. Not one judge cared about upholding the law, only saving a former Chief Justice from shame and disgrace. A court has a right to hear all evidence and when the Director of Public Prosecution, the judge and the police commissioner conspire to do an accused wrong, there is nothing more evil and wanton but more onerous is that when a DPP fail to make sure that this evidence is placed before the court, then something is seriously wrong with our justice system.

186

This request is nothing new in democratic countries. There are many cases in Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Europe where the highest courts have upheld this doctrine but here in Little England where corruption is rive and is more important than justice and human rights the prosecution should maintain it carved position to be honest and fair without bias. All evidence available should be given to the defendant so that he can have a fair trial If the court had granted me my rights to these documents, I would have been able to discredit the witnesses and work away at the flaws in each of the three cases but the Chief Magistrate, a so called Christian was playing protect the wicked, they are my friends and he had good reason for denying me my rights to a fair trial. What my political enemies thought would have happen was that I would roll over and play dead and they found out that I always stand alone and fight for my right. I do not like corrupt politicians, judges, and all others who take public jobs to become local Mamelukes. We may not be slave to the British today but we are slaves to money and social climbing. These corrupt black leaders manoeuvre, while feeding off the poor, placing themselves strategically and tactically to rape their own country. Many of them have bank accounts overseas.

Every morning after the May 24, 2018 General Election you can see and read in the newspaper scandalous details of corrupt practices performed by the previous administration. The latest is the contract at the Barbados Water Authority, where a higher bid, came in late but the minister still ordered the management team who had already shortlisted three offers that were in responses to their advertisement to choose from. Two million dollars went adrift. Talk about freedom and democracy and openness in government. When will we start sending these crooks who rape the country treasury to jail, where is a God (will Mia Mottley be it, for the sake of the people?) when we need one.

So don’t be too hard on these judges and magistrates. You see our our magistrates system is from the English old stipendiary magistrate sittings alone at an old-style committal hearing where all of the evidence is brought before the court and witnesses appear in person and the evidence is open to challenge under-cross examination so that the magistrate can decide if there is a case to answer. He has to deiced that the prosecutor’s evidence is so substantial and reliable that at the High Court no reasonable jury, properly directed, would be likely to return a not guilty verdict, but in each case there was a lack of reliable evidence and it was not sufficient in itself for the case to proceed. It was not a matter of justice on trial but a will full political act to destroy my character and businesses. The police was fronting for dishonest and greedy politicians who did not like what I wrote in the newspapers. Did not want their connections to the illegal drug trade broadcast.

In not one incident was there a credible witness, in the case involving Claire Johnson it was supported by heresy evidence while I had electronic recording of what took place but the magistrate said it was not allowed, even when I pointed out that the recordings were never under my control and the people who controlled them were prepared to come to court and testify. I was also willing to hire experts from the UK and the USA to verify that there were no tampering. Still Christian minded Chief Magistrate for 187

got what Christianity is all about fairness and honesty. He did not want to see the letters from independent persons or allow them to give evidence in open court concerning her honesty to prove that she is a liar and a thief.

Claire Johnson evidence was manifestly unreliable because she was responsible for all of the misinformation that David Simmons and Dr. Ricardo Coppin gave the police while she was under investigation for steal money from our companies and other criminal offenses so she had to lie to protect herself and her sponsors. The Chief Magistrate had allure without conscience, he was not interested in a fair trial, just protecting his friends. This is a man of God, who was always telling accused person, especially young men about the Bible, which was stepping over the line because no judge should seem to be forcing an accused to accept his form of religion. Where is our religious freedom? The World today is more evil than it was before as stated in the Bible, still God has not intervene as he did in the Bible.

Another thing that was wrong, he allowed the prosecutor’s witnesses to remain in the court; this should never be allowed, not even those for the defense, witnesses should only be allowed in court during their testimony. Then when I sought to bring these errors that violated my constitutional right the learned judge ignored them and tried to proceed but I would not have none of it. I stood up for my right and was prepared to go to jail or die fighting for what I knew was right because it would have been unsafe in the extreme to allow these matters to proceed to trial when I was not given the documents I requested, not allowed to call witnesses nor was I allowed an appeal to a higher court to challenge the judge’s political bias behavior, along with the fact that the prosecution had failed to produce any reliable evidence to connect me to the charges.

So when you hear person like William Brewster and his gray gang members insouciance with which they tell their lies behind my back, I just smile because I am not beholden to no person. I am not a hypocrite when I say that their life style is not my cup of tea; I would not beat my woman if she came home and found me in bed with another woman, I would beat myself. Only a drunk and stupid person would take such a chance, even if he own the house, it would be a dumb idea; women smell things that men do not smell and see things that we very seldom see. Domestic violence is an act of a weak person, man or woman, because it creates pains and doubts and no matter how much you say sorry, the wound never heal and you have to sleep with one eye open all the time unless you have an imbecile partner.

Yes it is selfish indifference, the abject dysfunction of childhood, for we learn by what we reject as well as what we accept. You are confusion between reality and fantasy; you want to be a woman’s man, still you want to be back shotting. Too many of us want to be on the down low and hold on to our wives or women but playing in shit is a very dangerous games. There is AIDS/ HIV and STD or there is the burden of raising a child, which is a very expensive ordeal; it is just not the money supporting the child, it is the changes within society. If you raise your voice too loud you can find yourself before the law 188

court; therefore, think before you discharge and end up being a father. Too many of our men are into anal sex with women, one claimed that the ass is tighter and give a better sensation?

In my house you live by my rules, or else, no smoking or drinking until you reach the age of eighteen.

Then you are a man or woman, live in your own home. Having children is supposed to make you happy and responsible but if you or your partner is unhappy, those children suffer. Mothers and fathers need to take happiness very serious because they need to be as happy as can be for their children, sometimes, one has to wear two faces one for the kids and the real one. You can see children who are living in an unhappy home. Their attitude is always sour or they want to hang out instead of going home. I was never a happy child and to this day I still feel the pains my mother and father inflicted upon me, I am not taking the easy way out, I am happy as I am because I struggled to be where I am. My life is under my sole control and this is what each and every person needs to know. You make your own happiness, no person else can do it for you.

I do not compare myself with any person else and I do not see myself as the image of perfection and very seldom do I get angry because anger take away the best part of your life. I prefer to change my opinion or attitude, so that I do not get stale, this is what keep me going, being flexible, so that I continue to learn from the world of thought, this is continuing my education for life. This is what make me educated. I am not and never was perfect and I don’t think any one has ever been.

The Mia Mottley new government is going down the wrong road in encouraging other islanders to immigrate here at a time when our schools are spilling over with very little room for local children and there are serious environmental problems plaguing our schools. There is also a housing scarcity with many poor persons living in dilapidated homes and when a fire destroy a wooden house the occupants cannot find a new home to rent and government has no vacant NHC houses to let to them. Our country is over crowded in every form and fashion, with people, with vehicles, with drug addicts, homosexuals and lesbians, you name it we have it. I have no problem with any neighbor coming to our shores but under the present CSME policy we have too many foreign prostitutes coming and working night and day and with the constant increase in the misuse of marijuana and violence, I am scared for my people and country. Many others are coming who have no qualifications and can not contribute to our economy and culture. $10.00 in our currency is more than $660.00 in Jamaica and about $60.00 in T & T. I am not in tune with modern progressive thought which I see as negative. I already belief in the existence of God not as the creator of man for there is no certainty but as a hypothesis required by reason that man can not explain creation. I can not belief in the God in the Bible just as I can not accept homosexuality as normal human behavior; if I do that I will have to accept political corruption as divine and this is unacceptable to me. I believe in what I can verify and I know we are going down the wrong path in encouraging immigration.

189

Where will they find employment when local can not and government laying off employees, We find it hard to maintain our free education and health system and our judicial system is so outdated that we have laws that over a hundred years old that we are still harnessing our people with. We live on an island that is roughly 166 square miles with a population of more than 300,000. not counting the illegal immigrants and things are rough. We are borrowing money left, right and center to keep our country developing and again we are moving in the wrong direction.

We have jumped into bed with China, a country that has no respect for its people human and civil rights; it want to recreate what the Britain gave up, colonies. It has lent money to some African states and when they could not repay took over the projects and is further bleeding these countries, China is the nearest thing to hell if there is one by description for there is no information coming from the graves. If there is a hell and man is born again why have no one came back and tell about it. We know how bad China treat its people, so it will treat others the same or worse. The whole thing seems as a ridiculous sense of aggrieved history where our people have been unfairly excluded for the selfish want of power by a few.

Too many of us in Barbados and the Caribbean seems to think that money is every thing, but it is not more valuable than integrity, honor, uprightness and completeness; these are the things that our parents and teachers used to instill in us as children. Even the Church at Sunday School used to implore the values of wholesomeness, probity and oneness but it seems the more educated we become, the dumber we are. Education is not just what we are taught at school but in the home, the church, on the playing fields and any place that we go. This is why travel is the best means of education.

When you are well educated you know yourself and your limitations, you do not turn to drugs for motivation and courage, you stay away from crime and violence and you respect your family. You do not ill-treat your wife or husband and brutalize your children, physical or mentally. You are mature and while your children may not comment on how their father and mother ill treat each other, they are liable to indulge in the same behavior when they are men and women. Dawn this is a fact, you will never be respected until you respect yourself.

Mr. Brewster said that statements I made were mendacious and officious, I gave a copy of the documents sent by his attorney to the police. People, you decide who is right or wrong. Yes, I called in the police to have him arrested and charged with distributing stolen property, which is a criminal offense. The police said my complaint is based on hearsay. How wrong they are but then they are not interested in justice but in covering up, to arrest and charge him would have left a crease available to me to include others who violated my constitutional rights. The investigating officers visit him first before coming to me, days after.

On the matter of respecting a family home. I have no apology to make to him or any other person; have we become so gross that we have no respect for family life and the welfare of children? What has 190

happened to our society because money and sex seem to be all we are living for. It is now, man got money, he want sex; women want money she will give you sex and take your money. We all want to live above our means, every thing we see we want and must have. So many of us have turned to selling and buying illegal drugs for it is the easiest way to get rich or avoid reality; but so many die in the progress. Every week at least thirty persons die in the Caribbean due to the drug trade and violence on each other along with innocent children.

You can sleep with mendacity, it is part of your normal life but not mine Dawn, I told you, Kathy, Marsha, Rebecca, Wallace, Mark and Tony, you can not push me around because of your connections in the corrupt place. I am not scared to speak up when my rights are violated or when I know or see wrong things being done to our country. I will never be a part of the conspiracy of corruption that has become the norm in our government administration nor will I ever be part of the drug trade. Both are wrecking financial and social havoc on our people. I can not support domestic violence even when the woman is wrong and you were wrong. You wanted the man’s money and a new house but you wanted to keep the string of men you con money out of with sexual favors. You know what is the name for what you are doing? Be careful you do not end up paying a very deadly or painful price.

The present level of corruption started under the Erskine Sandiford government, I am not accusing him of taking bribes, far from it, what I am saying it appears that he wanted to be a dictators just like Tom Adams. In a democracy a Prime Minister can not always get his way and the majority in cabinet should have the final say when it comes to such an important civil service appointment such as Chief Executive Officer of the Barbados Tourist Board. This was the first straw that started to break the DLP back, it cemented the public opinion that the DLP was just as corrupt as the BLP and the Tom Adams administration was the main avenue for the expansion of the drug trade in this country. Two of his senior ministers played an active part in drug smuggling and money laundering.

Yes, I am struggling to survive, I have no money, very little food when the day comes but I am still happy and contented I still do voluntary services for those in need. I do not have to have millions to be happy and I am not going to put myself in any position for people to say they had to feed me or take care of me. I can look myself in the mirror and when I walk down the streets, I do not see the results of my drug dealings and protection racket, I leave that for Sir David Simmons and those who support and protect him. The day I can not be positive, let me die. ***********************************************************************************
