What Compton Would Do

IN my last weekend article, ‘Labour’s Painful Secrets,’ I suggested that the leader of the UWP having won three consecutive party conventions, 2013-2015, each more resounding than the one before it, should now mobilize his supporters and take to the streets to rid Saint Lucia of its speculative diplomatic representative and the failed government that appointed him to the IMO.

The article was written before the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), delivered her mega-nuclear bomb, on the head of the garrulous and luckless Minister of Housing, and his failed government of New Labour. It would be unfair to edify what the Minister said on a public political platform – where a spirit of madness is known to visit lost political causes. The DPP mega-bomb on the IMPACS report was a deadly blow and may prove a turning point in local politics.

After the event which triggered the DPP’s incisive release, the first thought which came to mind was what Compton would do with that information. Compton came before Odlum because Compton’s UWP must now react to what the DPP said. The appointment of the London based Saudi/Saint Lucian diplomat followed by the explosive DPP findings and release on IMPACS, would be certain to set Compton, the lion of Mahaut, to act. He would have spent many hours mobilizing his ‘foot soldiers’ and preparing them to demonstrate in order to bring down this failed and useless SLP government that only knows how to lie and deceive.

Compton would have held public demonstrations and marches for the recall of the island’s IMO ambassador. Having succeeded he would perhaps return to husband his Mahaut estate. The release from the DPP’s office, coming on top of the indiscretion of the IMO appointment would have been perceived by Compton, a lawyer and a political animal, as a gross attack on the integrity of the island. The lion of Mahaut would therefore spring into action. He would reach for support from the trades unions, the churches and the private sector.

His UWP would surely be joined by persons who had never before supported it. Such persons would march against the evil that had necessitated the IMPACS report and the political expediency and deceit that has passed for governance these past four years. A student of politics would certainly be aware that something is ‘rotten in the state of Denmark.’ The entire IMPACS process and the manner of its reporting to the public in March this year, by the dissembler in chief, left more questions than it answered.

Did the words of persons who believed that they were wronged by the police carry more weight than that accorded those of the Royal St Lucia Police? Did the Prime Minister present the IMPACS report to the public in such a way that implicated the police? Did his words make it appear that the DPP would be passed ‘the evidence’ to proceed, or did I completely misunderstand him? Why was the former Commissioner asked to leave? One must pray that Mr. Francois did not compromise his ability to later sue for wrongful dismissal in any agreement.

If the Police Commissioner was found wanting in his duties was there a hearing (as natural justice would demand), to answer charges against him? If there was, did the public know about it? Crucially, was the commissioner sacrificed on evidence of criminals and their families and if so, why not take the whole filthy injustice to its logical conclusion; fire the entire police and appoint inmates at Bordelais prison, with uniforms and weapons, ‘to serve and protect’ the citizenry. Did a certain politician in opposition go squealing to the U.S embassy in Barbados against the police and now has to show (by means of IMPACS), to please his bosses? Some criminals behave like certain politicians we know; lying even when caught red-handed.

What would Compton do? He would realize that the plight of the people demands that these SLP misfits in government be brought to their pathetic knees in disgrace. SLP Inc. has brought too much pain and misery upon the people of this fair land. It is time to reject politicians who hide like sycophants behind pen names that spell S. L. P. What shame! How do lost leaders find time to think about the problems of the country and their solutions? Is plotting mischief and creating false stories about Allen Chastanet all there is to the politics of New Labour?

What would Compton do in this situation? He would insist that the people not allow their pride and dignity to be abused and trampled upon by this lost and useless SLP government.

There is a saying ‘time longer than twine’- Compton may be absent but one like him will rise and set fire on the backs of failed Labour for the way they have abused their authority and made the poor poorer. They have killed the middle class on whom so many of the poor depended.

The next step for the UWP may be to hire a competent lawyer to examine the DPP’s findings of lack of evidence in IMPACS. In the meantime the government must be made to issue a public apology to the entire police force and to the former commissioner in particular. The long suffering people of Saint Lucia must be prepared to put everything aside and force this failed government to call elections now. The DPP’s statement of IMPACS versus the manner in which the Prime Minister presented it to the nation plus the recently exposed playboy ambassador on IMO cry out for strong action on the part of the entire population.

If you love your country and you are a proud and dignified Lucian then, get ready to demonstrate and help rid yourselves of this lying, reckless and corrupt government. It’s time to take a stand and to do what Compton (and Odlum and Josie too) would have done in the same situation forty years or so ago. Summon up the blood, tighten the sinews, imitate the action of the lion of Mahaut. Compton would be out fighting for justice and better government – so should we.

  1. Son of Man, Mach Beth, Dassault Mirage, Prophet Dr Optical and others, a gang of men (my mistake – eunuchs) dressed in Ku Klux Klan gowns chasing Peter Josie. A man who writes and signs a weekly newspaper column. Why? What can he have done or be doing so wrong to merit such vitriol? Nothing is spared. Racist, sexist, anatomical, religious and biblical rants are common and mostly nonsensical. And all unsigned. All anonymous. An image – a group of masked eunuchs, hooded in KKK gowns , practicing mental masturbation. Not much is produced at the end and the product is worthless. And made all the worse by the cowardice of no signature. Why is this allowed?

    1. Charles Dumanois:

      You’re funny, although enigmatic none the less, but coming to the defense of this Brain damaged Negro, Peter Josie, who thinks that Black Women are not fit to be Carnival Queen Contestants is a new low. Yes Dumanois, that’s you frigging Mother, aunt, sister, and your black daughter, niece and I’ll throw Saint Joseph’s Convent in there. I regret to inform you, that St. Lucia has no place for that ugly witch you hope to impose upon our beautiful Black women as their First Lajables.

  2. CHARLES DUMANOIS GREETING !
    You have me on this one: Practicing mental masturbation?
    that judas josie mother once said: O my God. …………..If only i knew that this thing i call peter would became a damn professional and an expert in evil dealing such as black-magic and an azzzzzzkisser whenever he is hungry. I would have taken a morning after piles after his father trick me into having sexxxxx. his godfather stole his baptism and his godmother buried his soul under a river stone so that the devil could cross the river riding on it.

  3. DUMANOIS
    CHANGE THE WORD “EUNUCHS ” TO FERTILE .
    dress in bishop and nuns’s “habit”

    DUMANOIS !
    Can an Ethiopian changes his skin. or a Leopard his spots?
    Can judas josie repent of his evil-dealing?

  4. This duplicitous maggot Peter Josie, like his enablers the Chastanets, finds no hesitation in urinating upon the dead bodies of the many St. Lucians murdered by Francios and his cabal of killer cops, even as fake evidence was planted on the bodies of the victims at the scenses by the KILLER COPS. Why has Pinoche Francois not been arrested and procecuted for the murder of dozens of Black Lucian ‘maleyweys’ is nothing short of irrsponsible and endangering the public by allowing these assissins to roam free, killing people in Leslie Land, Marchand, and Arendel Hill.

    It is obvious that the stagnant Veronica Charles is incompetent and a Negress incapable of any dynamic actions addressing the tons of leads available to her prosecuting these Killer cops. Instead we have maggots like Josie and Michael Chastanet condoning the murder of these Grown Black St. Lucians men who Chastanet calls “Bad Boys” who should be “TAKEN OUT”.

    Josie has given us ample evidence that he will do whatever it takes to become somebody, thinking that if only he can have a Caucasian woman as was promised him by Chastanet, if Allen can only get elected to Government by the bamboozled voters of the Sure-thing UWP constituency somewhere on Mars.

    Of course we know Lucians are too smart, and not fooled, as was demonstrated by the people of Soufriere. Invoking dead people is nothing new in Lucian politics around election times, but of all the people, can you Josie not allow John Compton to rest in his grave ? Chastanet already has two BOLOMS, ONE NAMED GUY AND THE OTHER GAIL with more in the making even as I write this. Here’s Michael Chastanet calling for the murder of the Black people of this island.

  5. I take it that the line for Testosterone shots may have been too long for the early responders to satisfy the hormone levels needed to use their real name. Love the responses – B+ for timeliness and D- for language and thought. Perhaps the hormones can also treat these deficiencies.

  6. How did I miss this sortie
    Thundering typhoons blistering barnacles…….
    Now hear this :Beware, henceforth, of veering helicopter . it just might be the the evacuation to exile for JUDAS- to the Calvary Psychotherapy regimen at Rockland Psychitric Center , NY.
    Patriotic Saint Lucians as defenders of the moral standards for a peaceful pleasant, StLucia shall prevail in disposing this neo negro FASCIST puppet of the aristocracy.
    Pinochet style politics is verboten in St Lucia.
    Peetar is not well in much the same way Judas went beserk after selling out for 30 pcs of silver.
    We prefer that he remit himself to a therapeutic institution rather than his boozing pilling spiral into self injurious calamity.
    Yes Peetar is hastening to Judas’ biblical event horizon; but we do prefer long term dignified care for him.

  7. A used car salesman of banned YUGOS or Brazilian VW Beetles is far more effective in California’s tightly regulated emissions control authority for all vehicles, than Peter Josie’s nauseating, pimping of the nazi junta @ Chas LLC.
    Like Marie Antoinette’s pompous aristocratic retort “LET DEM EAT CAKE”,
    Peter’s goal is to force feed- as in tube feeding St.Lucians, his delusional , despicable impressions of grandiosity- in much the same demented mindset as he is bought and trained Pavlov style by Chas LLC.
    Good grief! In most forward thinking countries this puppet would be TARRED and FEATHERED on William Peter Boulevard, to be pelted with tomatoes and ‘ripe’ eggs, oui.

  8. One more, once; Peetar ole boy!
    You had a passion for agronomics –bananas were your bureaucratic hay maker n’est pas?
    Is it not IRONIC that SLP who empowered the downtrodden workers of the valleys and loading docks of StLucia , thus providing the nexus of our Green Gold prominence;
    thence sprung a plethora of related bureaucratic services e.g., WINBAN, GEEST, INSURANCE companies and a host of white collar clerical workers who rode the wave of these SLP laborers.
    In came Compton to be their front man of all that SLP already had in the London –Castries pipeline.
    The outcome was inevitable –
    HOWEVER, it was the Godly bounty of BANANAS in verdant valleys and terraced slopes, by the ordinary SLP inspired field and dock workers that MADE IT ALL POSSIBLE.!!
    Why is there no prominent sculptor to honor these Green Gold workers.
    These workers toiled to give the next generation a foothold at the giant gates of academia –around the world.
    Yet all we hear is the man who rode like “Miss Daisy” to the nominal London briefings and bowler hat cordial attaché exchanges.
    The UN mandate on colonialism pressed in the security council by both Russia and China with USA in tow, made StLucia’s independence a fait accompli –
    with British formalities saving time for her central bank to reconfigure her finance monopoly in less direct conduits.
    The peoples Green Gold was the only pivotal game changer to take advantage of the external pressure from the UN security council.
    So, a nation does respect Mr Compton RIP for doing what he was elected to do-
    but aren’t the dirt encrusted laborers toiling 12-16 hour days for farthings- national heroes.
    Lest we forget-indeed.

  9. Congrats Dassault on note 2, not so much on note 1. Now why don’t you share your identity with StLucia? We deserve the right to applaud your language skills if not your ideas. Or is the shade too attractive.

  10. Josie never like black man & woman. He only use them for votes. Reason he hate Kenny because Kenny show bloods who him really is. Christmas time he in every fet & rumshop boozing whiskey & rum. Him done & bury in chastney yard.

  11. Charles,
    You are a very dangerous cat-
    As we say in the jazz lexicon.
    When Hitler decided to shift very tight cash, materials , tactics, logistics etc., from the very successful Wolf Pack submarine fleet –
    To construct the super battle ships Bismarck and Graf Spee (perhaps his escape means to Argentina?) that decision was on par with his opening of the Eastern Front and Babarossa Invasion of Russia.
    For me it’s more than merely lurking in the shadows-
    I like the deep stealth and impromptu tactical advantages of an attack submarine (check out the Movie Red October- starring Sean Connery)
    Initially, this exercise started s as a means of improving my writing- as I admired the fine columnists reporters of the Voice and some of their blogger responders.
    But then I realized that the political terrain was akin to No Man’s land trenches of WW1.
    My raison de etre evolved into the advocacy for a level and fair playing field for the best interests of St. Lucia:
    Here is the kicker or sixer- it’s all altruistic.
    To God be the glory!
    So, if we spar harmlessly;
    or should we fight in the air, land or water-
    Rest assured I will respect you as a warrior;
    as I in turn summon the dedication of a Japanese Shogun, the bravery of Shaka Zulu and the philosophical piety of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr; –
    Among others.
    Henceforth, its “to the ramparts” for the best interests of St. Lucia .
    I do acknowledge your awarding me esteem but I will not accept the de-cloaking or promise of personal fame that it attends to.
    I can only promise a warrior’s creed-
    I pray that I am steadfast and valiant.
    Viva Santa Lucia.

  12. Dassault- haven’t been called dangerous in a long time and then mostly in jest. Your German/Hitler references were obscure as to their relevance although the opening of the Eastern front may parallel some of Labor’s recent forays. Altruism in its purist form is beyond reproach and I share that value especially when it comes to StLucia. Your submarine reference was interesting until I considered their very narrow information source, a radio, sonar and limited internet. In other words, it reacts and destroys and its source had better be right. Are you sure you want that as a model. Granted StLucian politics is a blood sport. Always was and will be. Love your models of King,et al but none of them ever preferred the shadows or anonymity. Honestly I care not about your esteem but I do care about the relevance of your message. Unsigned, unattributed critiques are rarely interesting to anyone other than the choir from which they came. I will have to Google MLK’s works and see if any were anonymous.most of your stuff is readable and relevant. Be proud of it.

  13. Dangerous – I meant with much respect for one who thinks and writes clearly- and you have!
    Let’s leave it here- in recognition of your “wisdom”- with a nod to Solomon.
    I do write for now on behalf of a proud, decent bloodline whose bravery and leadership I witnessed firsthand-
    who nurtured a sense of philosophical liberte in me- that has taken too long to appreciate-
    I write as a kind of gratitude-if not non materialistic tribute- by supporting the issues that I reason to be of importance for them-
    I am trained to be far more careful with that which belongs to others- than my own.
    Quite a paradox – if not dilemma.
    Metacognition is not a lonely endeavor.
    I must stay cloaked as in Mission Impossible – that is, I disavow any rewards or calamity that may accrue-
    as a result of my “political”writing.
    Perhaps one day, a novel-fiction-
    I shall de-cloak -from my Romulan vehicle, oui?
    Respectfully yours ……………..

  14. One revelation deserves another, oui.
    Why, I VEHEMENTLY oppose Peter and press for his asylum @ long term pschiatric center-
    although he deserves The Soviet Gulag.
    There are cardinal sins ascribed to his portfolio but the one that shows most sacrilege -if not hypocrisy goes like this.
    He was once a powerful FARMING CZAR
    The small farmers under his tutelage were mostly primary school educated.
    He could have used his formidable rolodex of contacts to shepherd them into the transition from WTO imposed open market sanctions -to a safe haven of agricultural diversification.
    In or out of the GOV sphere of POWER- Does not matter.
    In fact the liberated constraints for going into the trenches and interfacing with farmers- from an unofficial power angle –
    may have had greater impact/ outcomes from SHARED KNOWLEDGE.
    Peetar failed even as Peat Moss-
    He was always about Peetar le Political Loud Mouth.
    The decimated farming industry bled in their hour of need for a national agricultural hero-
    Peetar qualified and was practiced in the role but abdicated when the economic tables of the Banana Industry were turned.
    To add blasphemy to this sin, he wallowed in biblical Sodom and became a Judas high priest- if not political whore!;
    -selling “political jamettes” on behalf of the decadent aristocracy.
    God gave him stewardship of “St. Lucia’s Eden” and when WTO turned our global tables, he jumps ship and abandons the sinking farmers –
    to become a self serving “pimp”.
    Note the keen similarities between Peter and Mary Issac (their conniving HARMONY
    rivals the LYRICAL harmony of the folk singing group Peter Paul & Mary, n’est pas?)
    On behalf of the poorer farmers of St. Lucia -circa post WTO ruling in favor of Dole , Chiqita et al-
    I hold a warrant -of political exile-
    for Farming Czar -Peter the Great Betrayer!!!
