The Editor:
THE tangled web of lies and deceit which the SLP and its surrogates attempt to spread is an insult to the people of Saint Lucia who only two months ago booted them out of office. Yesterday, August 4, I said to a radio news reporter for who asked, that I support the multi-million dollar investment recently signed by Prime Minister Allen Chastanet.
I elaborated thus: I. the investment offers jobs to Saint Lucians. 2. The deal was negotiated by the former government (and their hand-picked technocrats). 3. If there are questions to be answered these should be directed at the persons (and government) who negotiated the deal. 3. In 1997, John Compton had finalized a deal for construction of a Hyatt hotel at Pigeon Point. An election that year resulted in a change of government. Within weeks the new hotel began construction under the new SLP government. Not a word, not a word, not a word was heard from anyone. 4. I had only two questions for those who designed and negotiated the project: was any provision made for the new water the project would consume; secondly, is there a plan to develop Hewanorra Airport for the anticipated increase passenger traffic as a result of this project.
How can anyone call these four points a criticism of the Allen Chastanet Government? I am on record saying (and writing) that every civilized country allows a new government at least 100 days before journalists and others can reasonably critique the work and direction of a new regime.
Last week on Timothy Poleon’s ‘News Maker Live’ (DBS, TV), I stated that every liar first deceives himself or herself. Every criminal act begins with a lie. And the Holy Bible informs us that Satan is the greatest liar. So we should not be surprised that Satan and his surrogates are still active in the politics of our country.
We must continue to reject in the strongest possible way the spirit of evil with its tangled web of lies and deceit.
And please note that I never said the deal was not signed before because the investors refused to pay private corrupt pockets.

The Field Sambo calls the house slave BLACK!!!
I waited in vin Saturday for your customary posting. For this.
Ole boy as the locals in les cabaways would say
“OU Ka DEparler comme homme FOO”
Take a good look at your current Voice photo:
You were probably thinking Fu Manchu with the beard et moustache style.
Sin-is-ter..rible I agree
but your photo also smirks …….subliminally……..FOO MAN es un Chu…Chut ….n’est pas?
So now you on radio screaming to get de emperor’s sympathy to convert your status from FIELD samboe to House samboe…….
NEVER SCARA ! 🙁 !
Pete ole boy
Embrace the fact that your usefulness as venomous abrasion to decency at battle Water-Loo served its nefarious purpose. That is, too create anxiety among folks who have not yet learned the virtues of discreet patience -amidst a global financial meltdown. Easy prey for rich carpet-babaggers; they are snared by the lure of a quick return to a time of living high on the proverbial HOG.
Pete ole boy, as a deceitful scrooge you are more dangerous than the emperor because you CLOAK your SYMBIOSIS with the MASTER CONFABULATOR (LU-cee-fir) so well- for the average intellect, that is.
Go ahead with your bad self, YUH can run but you cannot HIDE!
