Hit & Run Commentary #135

Cal Thomas is now flagellating himself over the specter of White privilege as lamented in his column titled “America’s Reckoning With Racism”. If he is really so concerned about this why doesn’t he surrender his influential position in the media to a minority? Readers should also note that he selected the luxury of Florida in which to live out his golden years rather than the squalor of one America’s ghettos in which he would have been able to actualize the values he demands of the rest of us such as the willingness to be verbally denounced and berated by those we have allegedly oppressed.

So do media propagandists jacked out of shape over the use of tear gas and pepper spray to disperse riotous protesters intend to articulate condemnation as rigorous of Antifa’s strategy to gouge out eyes?

Do those claiming to support Black Lives Matter really support the cause when asked or fear bodily harm and vandalized property?

Regarding municipalities and jurisdictions threatening to disband police departments in order to placate riotous mobs demanding astronomical welfare handouts categorized as social programs: will those breaking the law in such areas still be apprehended or taken into custody? If so, even if under the banner of another name, aren’t those still the functions of a police department?

With the abolition or defunding of police departments, Whites have even more justification to flee urbanized areas leaving them to further decay and blight.

Apparently mobs marching through the streets are enough to get technocrats to ease the rigors of the plague cult. Perhaps churches ought to begin holding mass decentralized public worship meetings not directly linked to any one congregation surrounded by armed militias. If left unaccosted, such would not be violent.

Given that Black Lives Matter only gets jacked out of shape when those of a certain ethnic composition get mistreated by the police, doesn’t that expose how inherently racist that movement is?

If protesters carry signs with language deemed linguistically inappropriate, the media shouldn’t blur the image. Don’t these liberal journalists any other time insist upon how obligated oppressors are to listen to these disenfranchised COMMUNITIES expressing THEIR TRUTH unfiltered?

During protest coverage, media propagandists informed that certain images had to be blurred to protect viewers and their families from alleged profanity. Too bad the media is not as decisive about rendering judgment against the destruction and theft of private property

Media propagandists said that the profanity on protest signs had to be blurred so as not to harm viewers at home. But is it about protecting viewers or out of concern that seeing such might shock the average American that usually doesn’t consider the implications of this subversive element regarding how there is an effort underway to implement a worldview of demoniac tyranny formulated in the bowels of Sheol itself.

Protesters are demanding funds from cut police budgets be redirected towards jobs and education. Yet those calling for such will barely work or pursue academics as it is. Often these behavioral choices are denounced among such demographics as “acting White”.

Veggie Tales creator Phil Vischer has criticized the conservative response to violent protests as valuing property over lives. Wonder if he would respond the same way if the target had been a warehouse full of his anthropomorphized produce DVD’s and related licensed merchandise?

In its streamed service, a church posted a slide that in person worship would not resume until later in the summer. Then perhaps the next song sung by the worship band should not have contained the lyric that to die for Christ is gain? Because doesn’t that propositional juxtaposition indicate they really don’t mean it and are just as much afraid to croak as nearly every other slob on the street?

As much as these churches are harping about race, don’t be surprised if after lock down quite a few White pewfillers simply don’t come back.

If the government and private enterprise imposing the policies of such (the definition of fascism) can coerce you into wearing a mask in the name of public health, what is so wrong with assorted laws and regulations intended to punish sexual contact outside of heterosexual marriage in the name of disease prevention? Granted, such laws would be near impossible to enforce from a standpoint of practicality. However, that is not usually the position that they are argued against. Rather, it is claimed such regulations infringe upon matters of personal choice even when the health of another individual is involved, the very principle that has been curtailed to a disturbing extent in the Age of Plague.

It it was immoral to stoke fear of disease in the name of promoting abstinence, why is it moral to stoke fear of disease to coerce compliance with a variety of social distancing measures?

A Confederate monument was preemptively demolished in Decatur, Georgia on the grounds that allowing an incompetent band of hooligans that had probably never even held a powertool prior to being overcome with the current fit of revolutionary madness could imperil public safety. So wouldn’t it be prudent to also remove assorted Martin Luther King or Barack Obama commemorative statuary for similar reasons out of an abundance of caution?

At the Trump campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, attendees were allowed to decide for themselves whether or not they would wear a mask. Medical establishment functionaries (many of which no one elected to office or not even employed as part of the civil service) issued numerous pronouncements decreeing that those deciding not to conceal their countenances in the proscribed manner were threatening the lives of those with compromised immune systems. But unlike a supermarket, one does not possess a compelling necessity to attend a political rally in order to continue one’s existence or maintain one’s quality of life. As such, so long as the individual is fully cognizant that masks will not be required at a particular venue or event, doesn’t there come a point where the individual needs to shoulder some of the responsibility for their own healthcare maintenance rather than to pawn that obligation off on everybody else? After all, haven’t we been told for decades now that if you don’t want your mind or soul soiled by filthy media, then don’t tune into such productions? Likewise, if you are afraid of picking up a disease in a place that the purpose in being there is more of a pleasure than a necessity, perhaps you ought consider not going there in the first place.

Commissar Cuomo is categorizing the removal of the Theodore Roosevelt statue at the Museum of Natural History in New York as an act of love. How long until mass executions or the seizure of the property of designated counterrevolutionary thought criminals will categorized as an act of love?

On Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace remarked that, in light of the NFL’s reversal on the national anthem and the call to rename a number of military bases, a cultural shift is underway. But are these changes something that the vast majority want? Or is it that they afraid to question such proposals out of fear of riots and looting on the part of violent subversives?

If we are to be so gripped with fear of violent retaliation on the part of apoplectic activists (for that is rather the reason than belief in diversity and inclusion) to the point that White thespians can no longer be allowed to perform voiceovers for cartoon characters of color, do the producers of the musical Hamilton intend to replace the Black actor that performed that eponymous role with a White one to more accurately depict the historically documented image of that particular Founding Father?

Perennial rabble rouser Al Sharpton insists it is an outrage to have someone to pay taxes to provide for commemorative statues of individuals that fought to keep that taxpayer enslaved. Maybe so. But given that it has been documented that Sharpton is profoundly delinquent in regards to the taxes he owes, he obviously doesn’t have as much going towards that particular budgetary outlay as he dupes his deluded followers into believing. Shouldn’t this multimillionaire having flouted his fiscal obligations be the even greater outrage?

On the Five, establishmentatian mouthpiece Dana Perino called for a moratorium on all conspiracy theories. In other words, we are obligated to believe without question any information handed down to us by government or those institutions in league with it at the highest levels such as academia, multinational industry, and the mainstream media. Who is to say what constitutes a conspiracy? This time several years ago, had someone pronounced that a virus would be invoked to keep you under near house arrest, your face swaddled like a jihadist concubine, and vast swaths of the economy nearly destroyed, they would have also been denounced as a conspiracy theorist.

The Chase Files Daily Newscap 21/1/2020

Good Morning #realdreamchasers. Happy Errol Barrow Day! Here is your daily news cap for Tuesday January 21st, 2020. There is a lot to read and digest so take your time. Remember you can read full articles via Barbados Government Information Service (BGIS), Barbados Today (BT), or by purchasing a Daily Nation Newspaper (DN).

YOUNG DEMS GUNNING FOR 2023 – A cadre of young people capable of standing for Parliament under a Democratic Labour Party (DLP) banner is being raised for the next general election due in 2023, DLP president Verla DePeiza has said. But despite declaring her confidence that the future of the party – wiped out in the 2018 polls – is “secure”, the DLP leader is so far mum on the identities of the would-be political contenders. She said: We will allow some level of confidentiality to those persons who have indicated their interest because of the type of work that they are in. “However, I am certain this has not stopped them from stepping forward.” The party’s youth arm, the Young Democrats, is also reporting a significant surge in interest and membership over the last few months, she added. At a meeting at the party’s George Street headquarters, DePeiza said she was “heartened” at the number of young people who have formally indicated their interest to represent the Dems at the next general election. She said: “This party’s future is clearly in good hands and anytime you have young persons who are willing to front for the party, then you know that your future is secure.” In a veiled reference to the governing Barbados Labour Party, the DLP president stressed that unlike “the other party”, the candidate selection process would not be widely publicized, neither would there be “busloads of people” turning up at the meetings. Nevertheless, she said that some of the party’s branches had already started the process and promised that names would be announced in the “next few months”. DePeiza declared: “Our young people are not shirking their responsibility to the party. “Our young democrats recently hosted a panel discussion here and it was a most professional outfit they put on. “It gave me good courage and I was well heartened about how they managed themselves even with a difficult situation on the day. “That gave me all that I needed to know to confirm for me that this party’s future is secure.” In a recent newspaper article, prominent pollster Peter Wickham suggested that last week’s conviction of former DLP commerce minister Donville Inniss was a clear indication that the DLP should let go of its old guard of political leaders. But according to Kemar Stuart, president of the Young Democrats, a shift to a new table of DLP figures could soon become a reality as over the last few months. He declared scores of young people across a number of professions have been expressing interest in joining the party. He told Barbados TODAY that among the newcomers are agriculturalists, banking and finance professionals, economists, cultural practitioners and young attorneys. Stuart said: “The Young Democrats has not been active for close to 600 days before I took up the presidency so we basically started with around 20 persons, but now we are going past 60 persons actively involved. Daily we are adding new persons to the general membership and in the executive as well.” He explained that his vision for the youth arm is to assist in training future leaders and expressed hope that in an election someday soon, at least ten of the 30 candidates on the DLP’s slate would come from the Young Dems. He told Barbados TODAY: “We have persons who are more than capable. “I an in the last election and we have Young Democrats who are qualified up to the doctoral level. “Some people still need training and we are going to work with them to develop them to the next stage but we will work with them one step at a time and we will get there without leaving anybody behind.” (BT)

MP SETS UP YOUTH JOBS SKILL FUND – Declaring his concern over unemployed young people gone astray in his constituency, Christ Church East MP Wilfred Abrahams has launched an “empowerment” drive to help those “who can still be saved”. He set up a special fund to assist youth interested in acquiring new skills and qualifications, the energy and water resources Minister told a branch meeting at the St. Christopher Primary School Sunday evening. The MP revealed that so far, over $10,000 in pledges had already been made and he was hoping to attract more as the need arise, adding that he was placing most of his energy for 2020 toward empowering people. Abrahams said: “If you have zero in the certificate and qualification column, come. I will help you. “We are going to check these courses and you have to be doing something that gives you or yields some certification that actually advances you somewhere. “If it is cosmetology, it has to be somebody who is registered that you can put it up and start your business. “I am happy to pay for anybody who does not have a CXC to do mathematics or English at the O level institute or at Foundation School or wherever.” As rising violent crime continues to stretch into a new year, Abrahams said he was tired of going to the funerals of young people in his constituency but admitted that some youth are simply “beyond salvation”. He said: “There are some people who can be saved and to be honest there are some people who are beyond salvation. “It is probably not the politically correct thing to say, but there are some people who we can’t reach and the law will have to deal with them.” But he declared: “But for all of the rest, for those who we see starting to deviate, for those people we see starting to hang with bad company, for those people who we are starting to see get hopeless because things are not working out for them, it is our duty to step in and help those people.” During a recent constituency clinic, Abrahams said, many people in Christ Church East districts lacked many basic tools to be gainfully employed. He told constituents: “There is a disconnect between those who know in Barbados and those who don’t know and sometimes people are in the position they are in, not because they don’t have the skill to take themselves further but because they don’t actually know some of the things that we know.” Stressing the venture was not political, Abrahams urged constituency leaders to identify the most vulnerable in the constituency and help them. He also appealed to those who were empowered by his constituency office and those who have “good” jobs to contribute to the fund and lend their expertise. Abrahams promised: “At our next branch meeting, we will have somebody explaining some of the big mistakes you make when going for a job interview. We will explain how to present yourselves during a job interview, what your CV should look like, and the dangers of social media.” The MP also had a stern warning for people who are interested in wasting his time as he insisted he was only interested in addressing the needs of those truly in need of help. He said: “There are some deadbeat people out there who are intent on wasting your time and you have to call it as you see it. “This year is the year of empowerment and I am trying to help everybody who is trying to help themselves. “If you are not trying to help yourselves, don’t come and waste my time. “I am probably going to hear all about myself having said that, but sometimes you have to call it as you see it.

Cvq TRAINING FOR SECURITY GUARDS – With the push to expand the list of skilled CARICOM people eligible for free movement to include security personnel with Caribbean Vocational Qualification (CVQ), the Barbados Workers Union has launched CVQ training for local officers. The launch of the initiative now makes the BWU one of two organizations in Barbados to offer the CVQ in private security service. As the BWU Frank Walcott Labour College enrolled its first cohort of security guards employed by the Royal Westmoreland Homeowners’ Association, General Secretary Toni Moore revealed that after the first batch of officers receive their certification, the programme will be opened to all security firms across the region. Moore said: “Although we are based in Barbados, we will be extending the services regionally and throughout the year we hope to have regional participants. “It is a mobile qualification and it means that you can move throughout the Caribbean. “It is a means of attaining a job in this profession throughout the Caribbean.” Moore contended that the private security personnel were among the vulnerable groups that the BWU was seeking to protect and this certification was one way of protecting this class of workers and increase the value of the profession. She said: “For some time, the Barbados Workers’ Union has been seeking to promote the interest of security officers as one of the vulnerable groups in the labour market. “This category of worker is not regarded as highly as they ought to be for the important work, they do in protecting property and the person. “We have been advocating for safeguarding the interest of security officers, calling attention to the important work that they do and more so calling attention to a need for more rights and for these fights to be protected. “We have to ensure that the officers are equipped with the necessary training to execute their responsibilities.” But Moore pointed out that as the union took steps to upgrade the profession, officers have an obligation to ensure that their attitudes were in sync with the new outlook of the profession. The BWU leader added: “[This] Training course is about knowledge skills and attitudes and I must say that attitude is more important sometimes than skills and knowledge. “Sometimes you have people coming into the workforce with the skills and knowledge but their attitude sucks and that is not going to take you nor the company anywhere.” (BT)

DRAFT SECURITY FIRMS INTO CRIME FIGHT - Amid growing concerns about crime, the head of a security company has suggested that private security officers be brought as a “force multiplier” in the country’s crime-fighting effort. Head of security of the Royal Westmoreland Homeowners’ Association Neville Springer said he is concerned that the role of private security is fully not recognized in the national law enforcement apparatus. He also called for public attitudes towards security guards to shift towards embracing private security as national crimestoppers. Springer was speaking to reporters at the launch of a regionally-recognised skills certification programme for guards conducted by the Barbados Workers’ Union (BWU). Springer, a former Barbados Defence Force (BDF) soldier, said that while security officers can play a vital first-responder role, it is not the practice to administer this level of training to them. He told reporters: “I think those of us who lived in the UK, North America and Canada, would know that security officers are trained and certified first before they are licensed. In those parts certification is a requirement for licensing but unfortunately in Barbados this has not been the case. “I am hoping that this will change because persons have a very dim view of security, while they have a different attitude to police and soldiers, and they see them in a more professional light. “I see the private security sector as a force multiplier for the national security sector. It is impossible for the police force and the BDF to do it alone.” According to Springer, these auxiliary officers would need to be trained in areas such as first aid and evidence preservation if they are to play a meaningful role in curbing crime, which resulted in 49 murders in 2019 and two murders so far in 2020. He told reporters: “There is a process and just like the medical profession where you have the paramedics that do a first response before going up to the secondary care system, the security system performs a similar first response function. “The security officer is a first responder for a number of incidents, be it criminal or safety and security issues. “They must be prepared to do the job properly otherwise when it comes to the judicial system it would be all for naught.” But the private security boss contended that in order for any of this to take place, there must be an overhaul of how society views private security. Springer said: “The public does not recognize the role that private security play in keeping the island safe. “People believe that it takes nothing to be a security officer and everybody believes that they can do the job of a security officer because they only see the security officer standing at a gate or walking around a retail outlet. “Many don’t know the other key functions that security officers are supposed to be trained to perform,” he stressed. (BT)

BLIND EYE TO CRIME WORSENS SITUATION – Community groups, churches and citizens alike were in for a tongue-lashing from Member of Parliament and Cabinet Minister Wilfred Abrahams, who Sunday night accused them of turning a blind eye to the country’s crime situation, thus contributing to the problem. The Minister of Energy and Water Resources told his constituents in Christ Church East that in many cases they have been silently consenting to deviant behaviour and had become even more desensitised to the frequency of brazen crimes. He declared: “Our silence has been too long and silence is consent. “By our silence, we are all tacitly consenting to what has been happening in Barbados. “That is not okay, and we have to draw the line. “You see it on the front page of the newspapers and you say ‘oh Lord, another one’ and then we flip the pages of the newspapers and look inside and wipe that out. “There’s a funeral and a lot of people cry and then you hear nothing else at all. “We have become desensitised as a people and as a country and unless we do what we can for every young person that you have a chance to influence, the situation will not change.” While stressing that not every young person could be saved, he urged citizens to return to the days where voices of reason would assist in saving those who were “capable of salvation”. He then appealed to churches, fellow MPs, community groups and national organisations to commit themselves to a greater role. Abrahams said: “For every young person that you have a chance to correct, correct them. “We are seeing the consequences of inaction by a negligent Government before and we are also seeing the consequences of inaction by communities that just don’t care or are afraid to step in where we need to step in.” He then pledged: “I am going to unpick my teeth when I see anybody doing wrong. “If you curse me so be it. If it is somebody that I am young enough to influence, then so be it, but I want my branch to be prepared to come on this journey on this year of empowerment with me and be prepared to do the same things starting with the people closest to you, the people in your families, neighbourhoods and communities.” (BT)

WHY KILL HIM? – For residents of Harmony Hall, St Lawrence Gap and Dover, Christ Church the circumstances surrounding the death of Jason Hobbs are like a mysterious puzzle that no one can put together. According to some at Dover where Hobbs worked as a taxi operator, he was a charming, friendly, and the humble one of the group. “Everyone who knew him loved him,” one woman told Barbados TODAY. Her sentiment was echoed by many others. It is for that reason that when the 35-year-old went missing days ago, many who knew him well were extremely concerned.Even more unsettling was the news that the body of a man found at Elbow Bay, My Lady Hole, Fortescue, St Philip on Friday, was later identified as Hobbs’. “It was horrible out here with everybody hoping and praying that it wasn’t true,” said a shopkeeper in the area. She added: “He went to school with my children at St Lawrence Primary School. He was always a very kind, sweet person. A really, really nice guy and everyone, even the tourists who knew him are saying what a really fun guy he was and it’s just breaking everybody’s heart.” Police have not officially classified the case as a homicide but from the responses of those who spoke with Barbados TODAY, many fear he was killed. However, in the absence of confirmation, residents have been avoiding questions about the chilling circumstances and in all cases have declined to disclose their identities. Nearby, a group of men watching a football game also remained silent. “He was very good to me. That is all can say, nothing more,” said another person. The stall owner explained: “They don’t want to get involved because nobody knows what happened. He’s been missing for days, we heard rumours about where the car was found and all kinds of gruesome details and that is why people don’t want to get involved.” She however opened up about the reality of being a mother in these troubling times. “Strange things are always happening in Barbados these days. The issues relating to violence are now totally out of hand and for us mothers of young men, it’s always on your mind because you’re always wondering if they’re going to come home,” she revealed. “I have a son very close to Jason’s age and I don’t think they have to be bad boys and they don’t have to be involved in anything to be hit. You just don’t know what is happening.” Closer to the beach, a water sports operator described Hobbs as “a good man”. “Water ran from my eyes this morning bigman. He raised with me around Dover and in this community so it hurt me to see this is how things turned out,” he said. Although he was raised at Harmony Hall, Christ Church, Jason, the third of his mother’s seven children had moved out and was living at Apartment #1, 72 Elizabeth Park, Christ Church. When Barbados TODAY visited, the apartment complex was deserted. Meanwhile, at the residence of Jason’s mother, Marselle Hobbs, the atmosphere was sombre and the woman, who days ago was pleading for her son to come home now had very little to say. Her only hope is that authorities can eventually explain how and why she lost her son. (BT)

JAMAICAN DETAINEE TREATED FAIRLY – The Immigration Department maintains that the human rights of Jamaican Kivesi Andrae McPherson were in no way violated during his five days of detention at the Grantley Adams International Airport. In fact in a clear-the-air statement issued through the Barbados Government Information Service this evening, the department insisted that it did “everything in its power” to repatriate McPherson in a timely manner. Any delay, the department added, was not its fault. Additionally, the immigration officials remain adamant that “the officers provided yeoman service by going beyond the call of duty” to ensure that McPherson got the meals he requested. Last Friday, attorney-at-law Asante Brathwaite told Barbados TODAY that McPherson’s family was contemplating bringing a lawsuit against the Government of Barbados for unlawful detention. She explained that her client who was arrested for importing $20,000 worth of cannabis on December 30th had been convicted last Thursday, paid the fine of $8,000, and was released into the custody of the Barbados Immigration Department as is customary. Brathwaite was however puzzled over why her client could not get a flight home and complained that Macpherson reported that he had to purchase three meals daily. But according to the Immigration Department, a request was made on January 10 for McPherson to travel to Kingston, Jamaica. The department explained that Caribbean Airlines requires 48 hours advance notice for deportees to travel on its aircraft. That permission was granted by the airline’s security manager, three days later on January 13. The next day McPherson was checked in and issued with a boarding pass to depart on the 6 a.m. flight. He was escorted to the gate by an immigration official and at that point, “the captain of the aircraft refused to accept Mr. McPherson on board because he was not escorted by an immigration officer to Jamaica,“ the statement said. The Immigration Department said it was not customary for escorts to be provided in these circumstances. “The general manager of the airline was contacted and he subsequently advised that he would have to get additional clearance from the security manager in Trinidad, and the department would be informed when permission was given to travel, the immigration statement explained. “That permission was granted on the evening of January 15, 2020. The following day, Mr. McPherson boarded a Caribbean Airlines flight, which departed for Jamaica via Trinidad at 4:58 a.m. His attorney was informed of his departure,“ the statement said. The immigration department further pointed out that Brathwaite was never prevented from speaking with or visiting her client. It also maintained that the department provided the Jamaican national with three meals daily with the exception of January 10, 2020 when he “opted” to buy chicken and chips from Chefette Restaurant because he did not like the meal that was offered. “On January 12, 2020, the department purchased his lunch from Island Grill Restaurant at a cost of $33 and supper from Grab & Go Restaurant at a cost of $12 because he did not eat what was being offered by the department. It also noted that McPherson refused breakfast on January 15, because he was upset that he was denied travel.” (BT)

TWO MEN INJURED IN SHOOTING – Two men were injured in a shooting incident at Greenfield, St Michael that occurred at 2:40 p.m. Police identified the victims as Jerome Antonio Stuart, 23, of 8th Avenue, New Orleans and Triston Akeem Alexander of #13 Grooves Cottage, St George.Stuart suffered a graze to his right leg but did not go to the hospital while Jones’ left knee and angle were injured. He went to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in a private motorcar. Police are asking anyone with information that can assist investigations to contact Central Police Station at 430-7676, Police Emergency at 211, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-8477 or any police station. (BT)

REMANDED ON DRUG CHARGE – A 45-year-old man was sent to Her Majesty’s Prison Dodds for 28 days after he appeared before the law courts for the second time in two weeks for a similar charge. David Sylvester Small, who was recorded as having no fixed place of abode, is accused of having cocaine paraphernalia in his possession today, January 20, 2020. He pleaded not guilty to the charge. Station Sergeant Crishna Graham objected to bail for the accused on the grounds that he was before the court just recently and had been granted bail. The prosecutor added that there was a need to protect society and the accused. She also pointed to his propensity to reoffend. However, his attorney-at-law Lalu Hannoman in his application for bail told Magistrate Douglas Frederick that everyone was innocent until proven guilty. “It is my instruction that it was a plastic straw that he had with him and no drug was found. Two weeks ago it was the same thing. It was again a plastic straw, which in itself is preposterous. “As an environmentalist I would love if everyone was charged with a plastic straw because they should not exist,” Hannoman submitted in his application saying that his client had a fixed place of adobe as he lived with a female friend. After considering the submissions of both sides the magistrate ruled in favour of the prosecution and remanded Small until February 17 on that grounds that he was before the District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court only two weeks ago. (BT)

DRUGS AND AMMUNITION SEIZED BY POLICE PATROL – Police seized counterfeit cash, ammunition and cannabis during an operation at 2nd Avenue Weeks Land, Goodland, St Michael, on Sunday. Members of the Tactical Response Unit (TRU) and Suppressing Criminal Activity Targeting Society (SCATS) were on a routine patrol targeting hot spots and areas known for illegal activity. On their approach, some men in the area ran away. During a subsequent search, they discovered: thirty rounds of 7.62 Calibre ammunition; two black 5.56 magazines; a quantity of vegetable matter suspected to be cannabis, a controlled drug; one black T-shirt; one pair of long black jeans which had 14 hundred dollar bill, notes all with the serial number E-34687191, in the front right pocket. one can of gun oil. one black rubber ski mask and one black woolen ski mask/balaclava.(PR/SAT)

COOL GUY DENIED BAIL – He says he is innocent of four drug charges against him but a St Michael man was still unable to persuade a Bridgetown magistrate to grant him bail when he appeared in court today. Sean Leslie Estwick, of Thompson Gap, Spooner’s Hill, St Michael is accused of possession of cannabis as well as possession, possession with intent to supply and trafficking of cocaine. The offences are alleged to have occurred on January 19. In objecting to bail for the accused Station Sergeant Crishna Graham submitted that there was a need to protect the accused and society as there had been several complainants from businesses located at Browne’s Beach as it related to Estwick, a frequent visitor to the area. “The court will need to protect him and the community at this time. He is also currently on bail in another jurisdiction for similar matters. He is also a habitual offender,” the prosecutor said in her submissions. In response Estwick told Magistrate Douglas Frederick, “Everybody saying I am a bad person, everybody in the [Browne’s Beach] area. But I am not a bad person, I am a good person,” the 46-year-old carpenter said. “I have a good personality, I am a cool guy. I am a person that believe in the Lord and say my prayers.” Magistrate Frederick who described the submissions as “interesting ones” told the accused that although those are good attributes, he needed to address the issue of bail. Estwick responded: “Give me a chance.” He went on to explain that the pending matter against him was one in which he had been ordered to pay $5,000 but had only been able to honour $4,000 of the amount. However, Magistrate Frederick told him the outstanding fine was not helping his cause and he needed to address the matter as soon as was possible to remove that “obstacle”. The accused will make his next appearance before the No. 2 District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court on February 17. (BT)

WAITHE PLACED ON BOND FOR DRUG OFFENCES – Magistrate Douglas Frederick today asked a 39-year-old man if he had ever heard of a dentist after he admitted to using cocaine to treat a cavity. Corey Anthonia Waithe, of Rock Hampton Gap, Jackson, St Michael appeared before the Bridgetown magistrate this afternoon where he pleaded guilty to possession, possession with intent to supply and trafficking of 1.63 grammes or $81 worth of cocaine as well as 2.68 grammes or $13.40 grammes of marijuana. “I use it on a tooth that has a hole,” Waithe said. “I use it a couple of nights. The marijuana I boil to help me to sleep at night. I am not a drug addict,” Waithe maintained. Station Sergeant Crishna Graham told the court the illicit substances, which were in the form of vegetable matter and powder, were discovered by police who executed a search warrant at Waithe’s residence on January 19. They were contained in two separate transparent bags in his bedroom. His attorney-at-law Mohia Ma’at urged the court to show leniency on the grounds that Waithe had not been before the court since 2012. The lawyer also submitted that the convicted man had not wasted judicial time and was remorseful. “Foremost in his mind is the disappointment and embarrassment that he has caused to his mother and the rest of the family circle. He is very sorry and remorseful and wishes the court to have a high degree of mercy,” Ma’at told the District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court. However, when asked whether he had a problem with drugs Waithe responded: “No sir”. He was also adamant that he did not need help. “Okay, you can’t say that help was not offered,” the magistrate replied as he warned Waithe that he would find himself before the law courts again if that was the case. The bond was then imposed on the trafficking charge and Waithe was convicted, reprimanded and discharged on the other charges. (BT)

OWNERSHIP IMPORTANT FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT – One of Barbados’ noted economists believes that the island’s development model is in need of an upgrade. In fact, Professor Avinash Persaud is of the view that residents should be taught to develop high-value skills and become owners of enterprises instead of just workers. “Today our development model requires an update. Nothing lasts. We have learned that formal schooling and professional education give us a massive step up, takes us a long way, but does not take us all the way,” said Persaud. “Thriving is no longer about moving on from hard labour. It is about freedom of all our people to pursue the life they wish to lead. What we have learned over these past 30 years is that high-value professional skills are critical, are necessary but are not sufficient. Ownership also matters,” he said. Pointing out that ownership has become even more concentrated around the world, especially in the technology space, Persaud said the challenge now was for Barbadians to become owners and not mere workers. “Imagine too, a robot of the not too distant future that can do everything you can do. If you own that robot, life is sweet. . . The problem arises, when someone else owns your robot, the one that can do everything you can do. Pop goes your income. Technology is not your enemy: ownership is,” he said. He said: “The challenge of the future is not an unlimited supply of unskilled workers, but masses of skilled robots owned by a handful of people.” He put forward the idea recently as he addressed the Errol and Nita Barrow Educational Trust’s Gala Fundraising Dinner at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre. The economic advisor said it was critical that people looked beyond developing traditional skills and a profession. “To thrive then, we need our people to have the knowledge that not only generates an income, but owns their working lives in some way; owns their own businesses in others,” he said. “That is why in the third decade of the 21st century, 100 years after his birth [former Prime Minister Errol Barrow], the task we have set ourselves at the Trust, is supporting the development of skills that go beyond the traditional professions and truly empower the kind of knowledge that might help a chef become a restaurant owner, a bartender become a bar owner, a grower become farmer, a nurse become owner of an international company of nurses, an architect, accountant or lawyer become a global practice manager or owner,” he explained.

NO FIRM CONCENSUS ON RUM GI – There seem to be a disagreement brewing among rum producers in Barbados as to what a proposed geographical indicator (GI) should look like for Barbados-produced rum. Reports are that Mount Gay, Foursquare and St Nicholas Abbey, have backed a proposal by Government, which was prepared by the Barbados Investment and Development Corporation (BIDC). However, the West Indies Rum Distillery Ltd, makers of the popular Plantation rum brand, believes the GI should include locally-produced rum that was also aged overseas. A GI is a sign that specifies that a product originated from a particular place. The qualities, characteristics or reputation of the product depends on the place of origin of the product. The GI puts no restriction on the type of stills used during the distillation. Both short-term and long-term fermentation techniques are permitted. Molasses, syrup or fresh cane juice can be used in the production. The proposed GI, which recognizes the properties of Barbados’ water, stipulates that rum distillers must use Barbados water to make their rum. Additionally, the rum must be aged in refilled casks or new oak, sourced from a list of recognized wine and spirit denominations. Mount Gay, Foursquare, St Nicholas Abbey and West Indies Rum Distillery Ltd. are the four major rum distilleries on the island, and Barbados TODAY understands that the GI proposal will require the approval from all of them. It is understood that Mount Gay, Foursquare and St Nicholas Abbey have fully backed the move, but West Indies Rum Distillery, while it supports the implementation of a GI, believes there should be some inclusivity. Asked about the GI push by Barbados, Managing Director of West Indies Rum Distillery Ltd Andrew Hassell said: “Traditionally, rums and spirits were aged in the Caribbean and in Europe. “We at West Indies Rum Distillery, are totally for inclusive GI where it respects where all of the rum producers have traditionally done, and we are optimistic that when a Barbados rum GI is done it will be inclusive and to the benefit of not only all of the distilleries, but all Barbadians,” said Hassell. While the West Indies Distillery Ltd ages most of its rum on island, some of its rums undergo multi-aging, where it is first done in Barbados and then finished in France. (BT)

RIGHT MOVE SAYS COMMISSION – Barbados’ Ambassador to CARICOM David Comissiong is supporting Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley’s decision not to send Foreign Minister Senator Dr Jerome Walcott to a meeting between Caribbean leaders and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Jamaica on Tuesday. In a statement to the press, Comissiong said Prime Minister Mottley, the Chair of CARICOM, took the correct position in maintaining that if all CARICOM member of states were not invited, Barbados could not in all good conscience, accept an invitation to attend. He said Barbados was not showing any animosity or disrespect to anyone, but simply carrying out a leadership duty in the overall best interest of CARICOM. “Mr Trump pulled this type of stunt last year with his invitation of four specially-selected and invited CARICOM Prime Ministers to Trump’s private property in Florida, much to the chargin and suspicion of several of the other leaders and Governments of CARICOM. A chargin and suspicion that actually manifested in several charged public statements,” he said. Comissiong said no one should expect that Barbados, charged with the responsibility for protecting the interests of the organization, to join Pompeo and six American selected CARICOM countries, in repeating an exercise that has already caused unhealthy distress, divisions, suspicions and tensions in the regional organisation. “And particularly when Mr Pompeo and the US State Department have already made it clear what agenda they will be pursuing in the Caribbean in relation to Luis Almagro/OAS, Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, etc,” he said. “One of the fundamental missions of CARICOM is to deal with powerful third world? countries not as individual Small Island States, but as a unified, collective of 15 nations. By doing so, we forge ourselves into a much stronger bargaining unit, and are better able to withstand the pressures that many big nations apply when they are conducting their foreign affairs. So we in CARICOM should always strive for unity and collective action,” he added. Addressing a gala to celebrate the centenary of the birth of the late Prime Minister of Barbados Errol Walton Barrow, at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre last Saturday night, Prime Minister Mottley warned of attempts to divide the 15-member Caribbean Community (CARICOM) grouping. “We don’t look to pick fights. I don’t look to pick fights, but I am conscious that if this country does not stand for something, then it with fall for anything. As chairman of CARICOM, it is impossible for me to agree that my Foreign Minister should attend a meeting with anyone to which members of CARICOM are not invited. If some are invited and not all, then it is an attempt to divide this region,” Mottley said. (BT)

LIFESTYLE DISEASES TAKE 8 OUT OF 10 LIVES MANY YOUNG – The island’s main general hospital is facing an unprecedented dilemma that could result in stroke victims being turned away. The alarm was raised at the weekend by Associate Consultant in charge of the Resistant Hypertension Clinic at the state-owned Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) Dr Kenneth Connell during a policy intervention forum organised by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Barbados (HSFB), at Accra Beach Hotel Resort in Christ Church. Describing the situation as phenomenal, Dr Connell warned that the never-before-seen rate at which stroke victims were turning up at the Accident and Emergency Department (A&E) daily, could soon result in the hospital having nowhere to put them. “We are talking about all these strokes presenting to the Emergency Room (ER) today, in 2020. But on the trajectory, these patients wouldn’t even be making it inside the ER because we would physically have no space to accommodate them,” declared Dr Connell, who is also President of the HSFB. Declaring that NCDs are killing Barbadians early, the senior medical official also disclosed that these illnesses were now responsible for eight out of every ten deaths in a country where 31 per cent of children are considered obese or overweight. To press home his point, the top medical official recalled the days when heart attacks were one or two and weeks apart. These now, he pointed out, had now become commonplace. “The fact that some junior doctors…would never know the day when there were five admissions to internal medicine because there was one heart attack. And if you were a student and you saw a heart attack, it’s a big deal because you are not going to see another one for a couple of weeks. Now, you are…desensitized [at] seeing a heart attack,” said the senior medical professional, who is also Deputy Dean in the Faculty of Medical Sciences at the UWI, Cave Hill Campus. He added: “I now ask on mornings…how many MIs (myocardial infarction) were admitted. And then my next question is ‘how many survived the A&E experience,’ because some of them will die on presentation.” Dr Connell contended that the statistics on strokes and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are available and accessible to the Government and that it was now up to the policy-makers to accept or ignore them. The youthfulness of the majority of stroke victims and other non-communicable disease patients presenting to the ER, is also of particular worry to the medical official. “There are over 21 patients in the emergency room waiting to be placed on a ward, and most of them are under the age of 50. And I must tell you, that of the 16 that are admitted under the University [of the West Indies] Services, some ten of them are strokes; and there are young strokes,” he revealed. “This is something that we are not accustomed to seeing…the fact that there is a backlog of patients in the emergency room has nothing really to do with the health system. It has to do with what the health system is now receiving. We are just receiving more NCDs. They are at our doorsteps. We can colour it however we want, but this is our reality,” he declared. Dr Connell recalled that his registrar only last week raised concerns about how the hospital would be able to find wards for the ongoing influx of stroke victims and other NCD patients. He said his reply was: “More importantly, how are we going to stop them from coming in. How are we going to stop this process, because it is only going to get worse.” He was quick to point out that these diseases are being driven by obesity, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and mental health issues.

Dr Connell released other data to show that one in every five individuals in Barbados has diabetes and that the annual economic cost has skyrocketed to in excess of $209 million. He also produced figures from the Barbados National Registry for 2016 which reported 15 strokes per week and nine heart attacks per week. The associate consultant singled out the consumption of sugar, sweetened beverages and unhealthy foods as a major worry to health officials. For example, Dr Connell cited a recent Barbados Student Population survey which revealed that 18.5 per cent of students ate fast foods three to four times a week, while 73.3 per cent reported drinking one or more soft drink a day. That data also showed that 15 per cent ate no vegetables or fruit in the past month. “Unhealthy diets, which is the main [driver] for obesity is not legislated against,” the top medical official noted, adding that tobacco use and the harmful use of alcohol are already regulated by law. He said air pollution and physical inactivity were also risk factors with regards to NCDs. (BT)

LTGAY CLASSES FOR SOME AT CHURCH – Class four students of the Lawrence T Gay Memorial School started classes at the neighbouring Grace Hill Moravian Church where they have been relocated as a result of environmental issues plaguing their Spooner’s Hill, St Michael plant. And while Vice President of the Barbados Union of Teachers (BUT) Richmark Cave told reporters this morning that the students and teachers had settled in well at the temporary location, parents and guardians voiced concerns about the need to find a solution for the air quality issue which started in 2015. Parents told Barbados TODAY that they were relieved that arrangements were made to resume classes for the class four students who were preparing for the 11 Plus Examination in May, however, they wanted to know what solution would be made for the remaining school body. “I happy that they are back at school because the Common Entrance is around the corner. But my major concern right now is I got a seven-year-old at the same Lawrence T Gay that is out of school and my concern is that the ministry gets something sorted because it is difficult for parents to make preparations for them. “It is either me or the mom have to stay home with him. The fortunate thing for me is that I am self-employed. But I know other parents will be facing similar issues,” one concerned father lamented. “I am glad my daughter is back in class preparing for the 11 Plus because that is important. But right now I can’t go to work because I have nobody to keep my little boy who is in Infants B. “I mean this is too long this problem going on at that school now and I am beginning to think the ministry doesn’t care about parents. And then I will hear these people in the news talking about they are concerned about all of these people reporting sick. But in situations like this one, you really can’t leave the child home alone, or take them to work with you, and don’t tell me about grandparents because the grand parents got to go to work too,” another parent said. Meanwhile, Cave said he too was happy to see the class four students back in the teaching/learning environment. He said he had no problem with the students being housed at the church since that was what happened in 2015 when the environmental issues started. “I don’t have a problem with them being housed here because right now there are just three class four’s. Previously when they were relocated in 2015 we had a whole infants department here, which is something like nine to ten classes and we didn’t get any complaints. And with three classes here I don’t see a problem,” Cave added. The BUT official said he was aware about plans to conduct detailed testing on the air quality to be sent overseas. However, Cave said until those results return, he was aware that all stakeholders were hoping that the entire school could get back to a conducive learning environment. Last week, following a flare-up of the environmental issues, students and parents met with ministry officials, including acting Education Officer Joy Adamson to discuss the recurring problem. (BT)

Whyte House Family Devotions: Prayer for the Family, Church, Nation & World #348 (5/4/18)

https://soundcloud.com/danielwhyteiii/whyte-house-family-devotions-prayer-for-the-family-church-nation-world-348-5418

[caption id="attachment_40916" align="alignleft" width="156"] Daniel Whyte III[/caption] My family and I have had morning devotions, or family altar as some people call it, every day ever since my wife, Meriqua, and I were married 30 years ago. We have prayed and read the Bible together as well as other devotional books as a family, and it is the only reason why this family has stayed together, and the only reason why God has blessed our family and used our family in ministry all of these years. We read Ephesians 5 and 6 every morning as it relates to the role of each member of the family and how that we need to put on the whole armor of God to fight against the devil who is seeking to destroy our family and all Christian families, churches, and Christians. So, now after 30 years of doing this in our home, we are opening this up to others who don't have a family to pray with, who don't have a spouse, or who are single by choice, and to encourage all families who are still intact to go back to the family altar and have devotions together every morning. In these devotions, you may hear me deal with a temptation I'm facing in my life, you may hear me rebuke my wife about not doing what she should be doing, or you may hear me get on one of my children's cases about something they're doing. Don't be shocked; this is real life. SING "DOXOLOGY" Praise God from Whom all blessings flow Praise Him, all creatures here below Praise Him above, ye heavenly hosts Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost Amen Billy Graham said, “The devil is alive and kicking. But if you are in Christ and follow the rules of daily Bible study, prayer, and witnessing, he has no power over you.” ------ RECITE: THE NEW APOSTLES' CREED I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Maker of Heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell. The third day He arose again from the dead; He was seen alive by Mary Magdalene and the other women, the disciples, and over 500 other brethren; He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth on the Right Hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen. ------ EPHESIANS 6:12-13 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stephen J. Cole writes in his commentary on this passage: "Christians must be fighters because Satan and his forces are real, evil, and powerful. To shrug off an enemy as a pushover when he is armed, organized, experienced, and dangerous, is to invite defeat. I have seen believers that disregard the reality and power of the enemy. We dare not do that! But I've also seen some that give Satan too much credit. They view him as being almost as strong as God is. It's as if God is desperately trying to get the upper hand, but He hasn't quite succeeded. And they blame Satan for everything, from car problems to anger problems. We need to avoid this error as well. William Gurnall observes that there is a great difference between how God and Satan deal with their followers. God reveals to His followers the strength of the enemy, but Satan does not dare to reveal to his followers the strength of God, or they would mutiny. So we need to look at what God tells us about the strength of the enemy." ------- PRAYER ------- DEVOTIONAL PASSAGE: Psalm 136:16-22 16 To him which led his people through the wilderness: for his mercy endureth for ever. 17 To him which smote great kings: for his mercy endureth for ever: 18 And slew famous kings: for his mercy endureth for ever: 19 Sihon king of the Amorites: for his mercy endureth for ever: 20 And Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy endureth for ever: 21 And gave their land for an heritage: for his mercy endureth for ever: 22 Even an heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy endureth for ever. Regarding this passage, Matthew Henry writes: “The great things God for Israel, when he first formed them into a people, and set up his kingdom among them, are here mentioned, as often elsewhere in the psalms, as instances both of the power of God and of the particular kindness he had for Israel. Israel was his servant, and, though they had been provoking Him in the wilderness, yet he intended to have some service out of them, for to them pertained the service of God. As he said to the Egyptians, Let my people go, so to the Canaanites, Let my people in, that they may serve me. In this, God's mercy to them endureth for ever, because it was a figure of the heavenly Canaan, the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” --------- PRAYER FOR THE ESTATES 1. Family 2. Clergy (church) 3. Government 4. People (citizens) 5. The press (media) 6. New media/Online journalists PRAYER FOR THE FAMILY PRAYER FOR CHURCH LEADERSHIP - For all pastors, church leaders, denominational leaders, Bible teachers, missionaries, and ministry workers. GOVERNMENT LEADERS 1 Timothy 2:1-2 says, "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty." President Donald Trump and his administration Vice President Mike Pence First Lady Melania Trump Second Lady Karen Pence All White House staff including: Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy Peter Navarro All leaders of federal agencies including: Congressional Budget Office Director Keith Hall All state governors including: Vermont Governor Phil Scott All city mayors including: Cocoa Beach, FL, Mayor Dave Netterstrom All members of Congress including: Florida Representative Stephanie Murphy All law enforcement officials including: Cocoa Beach, FL, Police Chief Scott Rosenfeld All military leaders including: Defense Secretary James Mattis / National Guard Bureau Chief General Joseph L. Lengyel Leaders of nations around the world including: Namibia’s President Hage Geingob and Prime Minister Saara Kuu-gon-gel-wa For the peace of Jerusalem PRAYER FOR THE PEOPLE / CITIZENS PRAYER FOR THE MEDIA PRAYER FOR CURRENT EVENTS AROUND THE WORLD - For the comfort of families and church family of the 26 people killed in an attack on a church in the Central African Republic. - For the comfort and salvation of the families of 26 people killed in bombings in Kabul, Afghanistan. - For the resolution of the Rohingya migrant crisis where hundreds of thousands have fled Bangladesh to escape military-led violence. PRAYER REQUESTS Bushebi For Your protection and provision over the people in Kenya who are being affected by floods Bhima please provide them with the money they need to build orphanages and plant churches; bless the seminary students with all that they need Eric please heal his daughter and provide him with the money he needs to repair their church building, pay bills and buy medicine, Bibles, bikes, and print tracts Vicki Please end the drought in Israel; for the peace of Jerusalem THOSE WHO HAVE ACCEPTED CHRIST AS SAVIOR John Margret Domnic THOSE WHO HAVE RECOMMITTED THEIR LIVES TO CHRIST Marena Billy Maggie DEVOTIONAL READING: “Everlasting Peace,” by Billy Graham Ephesians 2:13-14 says, “But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace...” “Meaningless mouthings about peace will not bring it to the world. In Glasgow, Scotland, we watched the Communists march around St. George’s Square carrying their banners with the words, “Our motto is PEACE!” My thoughts raced back to Korea, where I had seen the havoc and suffering caused by these people who now use “peace” as their motto. Peace is more than five little white letters painted on a piece of red cloth, carried by a goose-stepping zealot in a Red parade. It is not a mere cessation of hostilities, a momentary halt in a hot or cold war. Rather, it is something positive. It is a specific relationship with God into which a person is brought. It is a spiritual reality in a human heart which has come into vital contact with the infinite God.” - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Now, if you do not know Jesus Christ as your Savior, allow me to show you how you can place your faith and trust in Him for Salvation from sin and Hell. First, accept the fact that you are a sinner, and that you have broken God's law. The Bible says in Romans 3:23: "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Second, accept the fact that there is a penalty for sin. The Bible states in Romans 6:23: "For the wages of sin is death…" Third, accept the fact that you are on the road to hell. Jesus Christ said in Matthew 10:28: "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." Now that is bad news, but here's the good news. Jesus Christ said in John 3:16: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Just believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead by the power of God for you so that you can live eternally with Him. Pray and ask Him to come into your heart today, and He will. Romans 10:9 & 13 says, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved… For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." If you believe that Jesus Christ died on the Cross for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead, and you want to trust Him for your Salvation today, please pray with me this simple prayer: Holy Father God, I realize that I am a sinner and that I have done some bad things in my life. I am sorry for my sins, and today I choose to turn from my sins. For Jesus Christ sake, please forgive me of my sins. I believe with all of my heart that Jesus Christ died for me, was buried, and rose again. I trust Jesus Christ as my Savior and I choose to follow Him as Lord from this day forward. Lord Jesus, please come into my heart and save my soul and change my life today. Amen. If you just trusted Jesus Christ as your Saviour, and you prayed that prayer and meant it from your heart, I declare to you that based upon the Word of God, you are now saved from Hell and you are on your way to Heaven. Welcome to the family of God! I want to congratulate you on doing the most important thing in life and that is receiving Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. For more information to help you grow in your newfound faith in Christ, go to Gospel Light Society.com and read "What To Do After You Enter Through the Door". Jesus Christ said in John 10:9, "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture." Until next time, May the Lord Bless You!

Bajan Newscap 8/2/2017

Good Morning #realdreamchasers. Here is your daily news cap for wednesday, August 2nd, 2017. There is a lot to read and digest so take your time. Remember you can read full articles via Barbados Today ((BT), or by purchasing a Midweek Nation Newspaper (MWN).

REVENUE COURT IDEA NOT TAKEN UP – Barbados needs a revenue court to deal with tax dodgers and disputes, a special Social Partnership committee recommended in a pre-Budget report to the Government. While not dismissing the importance of tax amnesties, the committee said that in order to supplement such amnesties and improve tax collections “Government should immediately establish a revenue court and evolve it to a full commercial court”. This was one of the recommendations Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler did not implement in his May 30 Financial Statement and Budgetary Proposals. In its April 12 report, the committee called for the immediate establishment of a “self-funding revenue court” to complement Barbados Revenue Authority reforms. It could be funded by penalties from tax arrears and charges on commercial cases, the report suggested. (MWN)

BARBADIAN CONFIRMED AS LIAT CEO - The Board of Directors of LIAT has confirmed the appointment of Julie Reifer-Jones as Chief Executive Officer. In announcing her appointment, Chairman of the Board of LIAT, Jean Holder noted that “Reifer-Jones has served at LIAT in the number two position for some nine years and in that capacity has acted as CEO for extended periods on several occasions. On her appointment, Reifer-Jones stated she is delighted to be taking up this new challenge and is looking forward to delivering an improved level of service from LIAT to the region. Reifer-Jones is the first woman to be appointed CEO of LIAT. She is a graduate of The University of the West Indies, a Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Barbados. Prior to joining LIAT, as Chief Financial Officer in 2008, Reifer-Jones held several senior finance positions and has more than 25 years of experience in the fields of finance and management. (BT)

TRUMP ‘DICTATED’ SON’S STATEMENT ON RUSSIAN LAWYER MEETING – President Donald Trump personally dictated the statement his son gave on his talks with a Russian lawyer during the election campaign, US media report. It said Donald Trump Jr and the lawyer had mostly discussed the adoption of Russian children in June 2016. Trump Jr later revealed he had agreed to meet her after being told he could receive damaging material on Hillary Clinton. President Trump has repeatedly denied any collusion with Russia. The Senate, House of Representatives and a special counsel are all investigating alleged Russian interference in the presidential election which took the form of attempts to undermine Clinton – a claim denied by the Kremlin. The reports about Trump Jr’s statement came in the midst of further turmoil at the White House. White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci was fired on Monday after fewer than 10 days in the post. The former Wall Street financier had drawn criticism after calling a reporter to give a profanity-laced tirade against his colleagues. Reports that President Trump had himself dictated the statement his son issued about the meeting with lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya first emerged in the Washington Post. It cited multiple sources. The initial plan was that Trump Jr fully disclose what he knew about the meeting, the Post says, but that decision was reversed and his first statement said they had discussed the adoption of Russian children, not campaign issues. Trump Jr later acknowledged that he had agreed to meet after being told Kremlin-linked information about Clinton would be offered during the talks. He also released the email exchange that brought about the meeting. The Washington Post says some of the president’s advisers fear the extent of the president’s intervention could place him and some of his inner circle in legal jeopardy. (BT)

TREE-MENDOUS SHAME AT WELCHES – It is a sight that road users don’t usually see up close. But motorists and pedestrians are manoeuvring around trees which had sprouted up in the road along Highway 2A between Welches, St Thomas, and Warrens, St Michael. The bushy growths are growing out of the jersey barriers and could be a danger to road users on the busy stretch. (MWN)

SHOT TEEN PUZZLED – One minute Jeriel Bynoe was liming with friends listening to music. The next, he was on his knees, disabled with two gunshots. And while he somehow managed to escape with minor injuries, the 18-year-old and his family members are trying to piece together the puzzle which led to him being shot just behind the Survival Bar and Grocery in the Glebe, St George on Monday night. Bynoe, a mechanical student at the Samuel Jackman Prescod Polytechnic (SJPP), was shot in his left hand and left side while at his customary liming spot just after 10 p.m. In an interview with the MIDWEEK NATION from his home in Valley Land, St George – a stone’s throw away – Bynoe recounted the ordeal. (MWN)

BUTTERFLY DANCE – BUTTERFLY, impressively ridden by Antonio Bishop, stunned the Garrison Savannah yesterday at 14-1 odds to claim the 78th running of the Massy United Insurance Barbados Derby over 2 200 metres. Owned by Gay Smith, this daughter of Lion King out of Flying Dove, looked potent approaching the three-furlong marker after tracking the first half-dozen runners from the gates. A confident Bishop positioned Butterfly alongside early stalker Legion and the pair pulled four lengths clear of the field as they fought out the final two furlongs. The chasing pack, led by Oberoi and including Fleurette, Zip Codeand Carbon Copy, could be seen fighting for the minor places. The more Bishop asked of Butterfly the more she gave him before putting away from Legion, who simply had nothing more in the tank. (MWN)

BEAMING BUTTERFLY CONNECTIONS – In the winner’s circle, there was pure jubilation on the faces of both jockey Antonio Bishop and trainer Edward Walcott Jr when Butterfly delivered the 2017 edition of the Massy United Insurance Derby horse race yesterday. “It feels great . . . awesome . . . . It’s very hard to express it,” said Walcott during the post-match interview. Before the race, Walcott had stated matter-of-factly that he was “quietly confident about Butterfly”, who showed her girth among some of the top names in the business. “Her bloodline have always spoken for themselves. We had Meteorite, Zoom and many horses out of this line that have competed at the top class, and this horse was begging for the distance,” he said. (MWN)

WRONG TUNE – Three top calypsonians say they are against any efforts to merge the Party Monarch and the Sweet Soca competitions. Since 2009, the two contests have been held separately under the banner of Soca Royale, one of Crop Over’s biggest events, but the future of Party Monarch, which has a tempo that’s much quicker than Sweet Soca, has come under scrutiny because of declining entries. Cranston Browne, the chief executive officer of the National Cultural Foundation (NCF), hinted recently at a possibility of a merger that would effectively be a return to the original format. Sweet Soca was added as a category eight years ago as a consequence of its then growing popularity. But Red Plastic Bag, TC and Edwin are not keen on the fusion idea. (MWN)

CROP OVER ‘MORE THAN DRINKING, WUKKING UP ’– Grand Kadooment must be about more than mindless wukking up, said director of the Commission for Pan African Affairs, Dr Deryck Murray. During the Bongani Festival at Blenheim, St Michael, yesterday he told the media Grand Kadooment and Emancipation Day took place close to one another so there had to be a greater level of consciousness concerning the former. “We don’t have the luxury of complacency when it comes to our development and freedoms. We have to remember that, first and foremost, Crop Over is about our emancipation, so we have to remind people it’s more than about drinking rum and nakedness,” he said. Murray said Emancipation Day and Grand Kadooment actually coincided every seven years and this made the message of uplifting culture all the more important. He said Government was doing its part “bit by bit” but it was up to the public, as well as the Grand Kadooment bands, to buy in. (MWN)

AFRICAN HERITAGE PLEA – Access to funding continues to stifle the progress of the pan-African movement. Both the chairman of the Pan African Coalition of Organisations, Rev. Onkphra Wells and director of African Heritage Foundation Leah Clarke said money was one of major causes hindering them getting their message out to the community, including schools and churches. They were speaking yesterday at Blenheim Pasture following the annual Emancipation Day Walk. “We could scream as loud as we want but unless we have the resources to make it mainstream in terms of having national policies – in schools, at churches – that won’t happen as yet,” Wells said. (MWN)

BARBADIANS COMMEMORATE EMANCIPATION DAY WITH BONGANI FESTIVAL – Barbadians from all walks of life have begun celebrations to mark Emancipation Day today with a Bongani Festival. The day’s events got started at the Emancipation Statue at the JTC Ramsay Roundabout, Haggatt Hall, St Michael with libations and ceremonial ancestral reverence. The group, which consists of Pan African organizations, Government officials and diplomats, then embarked on the Freedom Walk. To the rhythmic beat of drums, the participants walked through communities in The Ivy and My Lord’s Hill. The walk culminates at the Blenheim Playing Field for the official ceremony. Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office, Senator Patrick Todd, other Government and diplomatic officials, and representatives of Pan-African organizations will deliver messages at that ceremony.

Biafra:Uwazurike Tackled Nnamdi Kanu Seriously latest news on naccysblog.blogspot.com

… I guaranteed Ojukwu MASSOB will never turn to violence and that there would be no war again in Nigeria

… MASSOB has gone past walking in the city to political moves

… I set up Radio Biafra, utilized Kanu to run it however government officials commandeered him and the Radio is presently being utilized to extort me and spread detest messages

… It's a lie –IPOB

By Vincent Ujumadu

Boss Ralph Uwazurike, the originator of the Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB is troubled and that may not be detached with the way that he, of later, is being consigned to the foundation on the issue of Biafra disturbance. The man existing apart from everything else, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, who Uwazurike said he utilized and given over the Radio Biafra he set up as a major aspect of the unsettling procedure, has been getting all the consideration recently.

Uwazurike is additionally stressed that many individuals, including the media, had not valued his penances towards the realization of Biafra. However, he demands that lone his style of approach can prompt the realization of Biafra, depicting as a demonstration of evil, the hint that he was an offer out on the issue of the battle.

Since the starting in Aba, Abia State in 1999, MASSOB under Uwazurike constantly claimed mass captures and killings of its individuals by government powers. He had additionally reliably set out on programs gone for completing Biafra and was in reality the arrow point of the fomentation. For the initial 10 years of the development of MASSOB by Uwazurike, the body and its individuals/supporters were extremely dynamic however peaceful.

For example, in May 2008, MASSOB discharged a rundown of 2,020 individuals claimed to have been executed by security operators since 1999. Uwazuruike was captured on a few events and accused of conspiracy. In 2011, he and 280 MASSOB individuals were captured in Enugu while going to a capacity out of appreciation for late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu. Hardly any days after the fact, notwithstanding, previous President Goodluck Jonathan requested Uwazuruike's discharge, and in addition all other MASSOB individuals in detainment.

MASSOB from there on propelled the Biafran travel permit in 2009 as a major aspect of the program to praise its tenth commemoration and Uwazuruike, said the presentation of the Biafran international ID was in light of steady requests from Biafrans in Diaspora

In 2005, MASSOB re-brought the old Biafran cash into flow. This started a ton of fervor at the time particularly as one Biafran pound was said to trade for two hundred and seventy naira at the outskirt groups of Togo and the Republic of Benin.

In February 2013, MASSOB guaranteed that few bodies discovered drifting in the Ezu River on the limit of Enugu and Anambra States were those of its individuals already captured by the police. The gathering asserted that the police routinely executed MASSOB individuals without legitimate trial.

On September 13, 2015 police in Anambra state captured around 25 MASSOB individuals who were denoting their sixteenth commemoration and one of them was shot. At St Charles Lwanga Catholic Church Okpoko,18 individuals were captured and one shot and at Iba Pope Catholic Church, while at Awada, 11 individuals from MASSOB were captured. At Awka, two MASSOB individuals were captured by the police.

On May 31, 2013, Uwazurike's MASSOB was marked as one of three fanatic gatherings debilitating the security of Nigeria. Truth be told previous President Goodluck Jonathan announced that the Nigerian state confronted three major security challenges postured by fanatic gatherings which he recorded as Boko Haram in the North; the MASSOB in the South-East; and the Oodua People's Congress OPC, in the South-West..

In any case, following his conflict with a segment of MASSOB individuals, the air pocket burst and the man, who was practically strong in the Biafra tumult, began getting thumps from individuals who heretofore, were venerating him. One of the assertions was that he relinquished some MASSOB individuals who were detained in different Nigerian penitentiaries. He however protected himself, saying a wonder such as this never happened.

He revealed to Saturday Vanguard: "The impression being made was that somebody paid me to stop the battle. This is unreasonable. Or, on the other hand do individuals anticipate that me will begin battling Nnamdi Kanu? Or, on the other hand do individuals think you are battling for Biafra when you stoop down in broad daylight spots to make appear? How might anyone hold the view that I am an offer out?

"I set up Radio Biafra in 1999 and gave it over to Nnamdi Kanu for the benefit of the battle, yet what did I receive consequently? Somebody I utilized the radio station I set up to coerce me. Where did I turn out badly? What's more, if you somehow happened to be Uwazurike, what will you do under such a circumstance? In the event that I didn't set up MASSOB, how could Nnamdi Kanu have had a stage to begin what he is doing?"

Focusing on that his way to deal with the battle is the thing that would at last prompt the completion of Biafra, Uwazurike included: "On May 22nd, we composed a service in which more than one million individuals partaken in Onitsha and different urban areas and this was accounted for by the media. It was the same in Aba, Enugu, Owerri and different urban communities, yet individuals are stating that I am losing the faith or that I am an offer out.

"Do you additionally realize that I manufactured 20 houses at Okwe, Imo State, for the injured Biafra warriors who were asking for offerings at Oji River and I pay them compensation consistently? Today, there are no more Biafra officers asking for donations at that spot.

"Just a month ago, I took a chance with my life to go toward the North for Biafra and I was at Arewa House in Kaduna where I met individuals, yet the media and Igbo individuals don't value my penances. How might you feel if you somehow happened to be in my position?"

Uwazurike, who drove an assignment of Igbo pioneers from the South East, revealed to some young gatherings at the Arewa House in Kaduna that MASSOB had sought after the way of peace since its creation in 1999 and would keep on doing so.

He proceeded with: "Self-assurance without brutality is a major right, we should endeavor against sowing the seed of friction yet do all that will advance peace and equity in Nigeria. There is a hole in correspondence from our pioneers which should be connected, consequently we are meeting with outstanding pioneers in the north to convince them that there is no reason to get excited,

"We have congested the time of walking the roads with Biafran banners. MASSOB is presently merging on building structures and political transactions with different nations, reviewing that there was a re-statement of Biafra on May 22nd, 2000, accommodation of Biafra Bill of rights to United Nations and his participation of OAU Summit in Lome, Togo in 2000, among different accomplishments..

"MASSOB existed for a long time without viciousness and in 2009, I went to London and opened Radio Biafra and gave it over to Nnamdi Kanu as the executive. Before long a short time later, government officials captured him, and he began working for them.

"The radio that was intended to instruct our kin and prompt our kin was transformed into a wellspring of detest messages, extortion, terrorizing and others. The resultant impact was that the northern young people came up to move us, to state that they are not content with the despise messages and the put-down they get from a similar radio.

"The primary reason for coasting the association called MASSOB was not to cause emergency in Nigeria. I guaranteed the late Odumegu Ojukwu when he was alive that there would be no other common war in Nigeria. Since he, Ojukwu, was so concerned and needed some measure of confirmation from me that MASSOB would not cause issues in Nigeria, I gave him that affirmation."
