ANY MEANS NECESSARY
Those who have been following the triangular fight between Lord Michael Ashcroft, Kremandala (Zinc Fence) and Dean Barrow will readily agree that the Lord is losing the battle and losing badly. In sports the term “blow out” would be use to describe the level of the onslaught that the combine tandem of Hyde and Barrow has unleashed on Lord Ashcroft. Both the UDP government and the Zinc Fence is not shy in stating very clearly what their final intention is when it comes to Lord Ashcroft and his businesses and by extension those that are associated with him. The tag team goal is to annihilate the Peer. On the Krem Radio morning show on Wednesday Mose Hyde hosted the Prime Minister of Belize and pledged his unwavering support for the UDP and made it clear that he wants the government to go to the full nine yards in destroying Lord Ashcroft and his investments in Belize. In short he said winning against the Lord was the only thing. As in the words of Malcolm X, defeat the Lord “by any means necessary”. We emphasize the Wednesday talk show morning discussion on Krem Radio because it is the first time that this callous and open declaration of war against a bonafide investor has been publicly presented and endorsed by the government and no less than the Prime Minister of Belize. This message should create a sonic boom in the camp of Lord Ashcroft, because if the BTL nationalization becomes an ideology then, the Belize Bank is next. If one stop to calculate how much the Zinc Fence and Dean Barrow has cost Lord Ashcroft, the amount is humongous. It started with Venezuelan grant of 20 million dollars, which was wrestled from the Belize Bank in 2008, then the claim on taxes by both BTL and the Belize Bank which resulted in legislative changes, the takeover of BTL and the possibility that the shareholder/s may never be paid, certainly not under a UDP government, the voiding of a 45 mil-
Our observation is that Lord Ashcroft is the victim of a skillful public relation attack that has been crafted by an entire political party and Zinc Fence to build hate in the minds of Belizeans against Lord Ashcroft and anyone around him and simultaneously create opportunities to hustle while the Belizean people are blinded by this implanted hate.
lion dollar loan from BTL balance sheet, which was given by the British Caribbean Bank an Ashcroft entity. The hot talk in Belmopan is encouragement for government to take over the BTL Employees Trust and eventually the nationalization of the Belize Bank. The advisors to the Prime Minister feel that the Belize Bank will be the entity the Lord will now use bring a multiple of litigations against the government. Our observation is that Lord Ashcroft is the victim of a skillful public relation attack that has been crafted by an entire political party and Zinc Fence to build hate in the minds of Belizeans against Lord Ashcroft and anyone around him and simultaneously create opportunities to hustle while the Belizean people are blinded by this implanted hate. The Zinc Fence is receiving tons of advertisement courtesy of nationalization, while the BTL Board of Directors are stacked with friends and families of the Prime Minister all of them are laughing all the way to the bank by doing all sorts of hanky-panky. The sad thing is these questionable activities are done with the full consent of BTL senior management as they are being given perks to look the other way. The latest gift was two brand new 2011 Land cruiser for the head honchos. BTL spent more than $600,000.00 on two vehicles at a time when the country is in a depression. That could have been acceptable if the company was privately owned, but it is owned by the people of Belize, who are starving because of the UDP, and they see that their monies are being spent on luxury
items that could have been use to build almost thirty homes to shelter 200 persons. While many agree Lord Ashcroft has to fight many of the battles legally he cannot neglect the public relation component. The legal battles have not been that successful as well because the deck is stacked. What is needed for more offensives to come at the government and the Zinc Fence exposing their hypocrisy and fork tongue? Guerrilla tactic, dirty tactics, skull doggery are being applied against Lord Ashcroft, and he is fighting sanitized. The Lord Ashcroft owns Channel 5, the most sanitary television station, which is not being used to change the negative image of Lord Ashcroft and his holdings, which have been mortally affected by Barrow and his cohorts. The UDP and Zinc fence has portrayed Lord Michael Ashcroft as a “virus”, that is heartless and greedy. Their propaganda has aligned him with People’s United Party, who also has been stigmatized as heartless and cor-
rupt. Rest assured that if an offensive is not launched against the government and their allies they will not rest until they embolden themselves enough to nationalize the Belize Bank in Hugo Chavez style without paying for it. Dean Barrow has displayed that he has no regards for what the international community thinks of his domestic policies and actions, as long as the people of Belize continue to cheer him on. So anyone who believes that will be a deterrent that will dissuade him from acting recklessly will end up being his victim. Importantly Lord Ashcroft has many friends and all he needs to do is fuel the fire because most Belizeans are tired of the fighting UDP that has brought hardship to the society. Many believe that Ashcroft and Barrow should be in dialogue to cease the bickering for the benefit of Belize. However, pragmatically the ligation and fighting mean more money for the ex-wife lawyer, therefore why would Barrow mess up a good thing. A word to the wise Belizeans you are the jack@ass, Barrow and his cronies are padding their accounts while you are cheering on your own demise. OPEN YOUR EYES THE PEOPLE ARE AWAKE!!!
