THERE are some real problems in these parts. If one listened to some religious types one was apt to think that poverty is a badge of honour, to be proudly worn. From the itinerant preacher to those seeking to defraud the national treasury and sundry others, the poor is for use only, with no ‘use by date.’ Poverty is a well that never runs dry; the gift that keeps on giving! Whether poverty is as a result of greed and the accumulation of excessive wealth by some is a matter often skirted around, and not plumbed to its full depth.
Those who come in the name of this or that religion and in flowing African dashikis, regurgitate skewed book information and place the poor on the register of voters for later use. A green back fiver or two may be offered to soothe and block a hole, perchance to stop cuss words escaping from its paw.
How much do sellers of religion and seekers of votes really care about the poor? How many care where they live and what their needs are? How many care whether a nexus exists between poverty and lawlessness? How many care whether there is a connection between incarceration and poverty? How many ponder the fact that, the environment in which a child is nurtured is more crucial than suitable housing? How many know these and do nothing?
These questions should trouble the minds of every public figure in or out of office; every religious, every business person and every person past age sixteen. It should trouble even more those who falsely offer themselves as saviours of the poor, yet knowingly sell at inflated prices, using false measurements.
To pander to and profit from a depressed mass of lost humanity cries to high heaven for vengeance. Is there a desire amongst those more fortunate that seeks new and creative solutions, to turn old outdated principles on its head? The greatest insult and disservice to the poor is to do nothing. Something ought therefore to be done now! Perhaps the best place to begin is an in-depth search for information on poverty – and the poor.
The announcement that the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) and the Organization of East Caribbean States (OECS), are to fund such a survey of poverty in the sub-region, and to map its findings with a view to periodic updating is timely and welcome. Research findings should help save the OECS from its more reckless politicians and their gullible foreign allies, seeking to alleviate poverty in the region.
However, the survey must be careful not to presume that the OECS is one contiguous mass, little differentiated. A properly researched survey of poverty should reveal why there are no discernible ghettos in Grenada and St. Kitts, yet the murder rate in Grenada is the lowest in the region, while that in St. Kitts is the highest, by far. What accounts for the difference in homicides between Grenada and St. Kitts? Who does crime hurt more in the OECS, the rich or the poor?
Another crucial question is why are people in the OECS poor? One needs to keep in mind the Arthur Lewis doctrine that, lack of education and not money is at the root of poverty. An objective look around reveals that the more educated the citizenry the more developed and advanced their country. That also raises the question of exchange of information (and co-ordination), amongst those who have made greatest strides in research, technology and mass production.
Observe dear reader that, a large share of the annual budget of these islands is for education, yet so many leave schools each year minus basic reading and writing skills. The answer may be hidden in the realm of psychological and brain structure and development. That may explain why some families seem unable to extricate themselves from the scourge and debilitation of poverty?
Does hunger and desperation lead to crime? If yes, then clearly poverty is a threat to society. One can hardly expect the hungry to perpetually avoid acts of petty larceny or theft to feed and clothe themselves. To state a fact boldly is not to condone it. One shudders to think that criminality is a necessary means to block a hole in an empty stomach.
One criminal act followed by another, then another, until it escalates in gun violence and death, is not unknown to the legal and justice community, priests, politicians and business men, in the OECS. Even academics, who love to hide behind their University lecture cushions, are aware of these facts.
The survey must find the courage to probe more deeply and more meticulously into the root causes of poverty in these parts. Hopefully the findings will inspire robust action to cure the scourge which threatens society.
The media, religious leaders, politicians and business people must therefore focus on the work of poverty assessment with a view to helping craft solutions. Interests should be such that one ought to influence certain questions on the issue
The last thing these leaders need is to treat poverty as some religious excuse with the words ‘the poor you have amongst you always.’ The reference may have been to a ‘poverty of spirit.’ Still, it is far better to have the rich give a hands-up to the poor than to condemn them to hell fire, even as they remain mired in poverty and ignorance.
It bears repetition that the move for a comprehensive survey of poverty in the OECS should be welcomed by policy framers, planners, and religious groups of all faiths, business persons of conscience who care for the country and the poor.
We need to reverse the religious misconception that it is cute or saintly to be poor. It is not! Where poverty is bliss…must be a place from which to escape. Period!

Do you need fresh batteries for that deal-dough that Peetar gifted you via pay pal/
His attached note did read”keep those deux bon-dah in cherry pink eager readiness during my absence”
My interpretation: Use it for vital flatulence emissions from your putrid bondah …..
Do try to keep your fantasy for SOM way down on the down low……its a glaring distraction from the serious trench warfare to Save STLUCIA from pirates…..
Listen…yuh can get all the latest fantasy toys in Brooklyn…on Flatbush ….walking distance from your Junior’s hangout….in the shadow of the Barclays Sporting arena.
West 4th etc in Manhattan are so RETRO.
And why are you still using le petite carrot stick deal-dough on those ti garcon buuuns of yours….
Move up your e-rawtic experiences to RIGOBERT CLASS!!
If PEETAR does not mind, I can pre pay a robust life like MANDINGO 12 ” model Deal Dough -even FedEX to you ..so that you can get your deux Bon-DAH properly AFRICANIZED..oui!
Then you say “serious trench warfare to Save STLUCIA from pirates”. DASSAULT MIRAGE, that is done by showing up to vote and not by posting your irrational wrongheaded arguments. PJ, is enjoying this ill gotten gains and you keep hyping him up.
DM: I told you before……keep away from the Village, its giving you funny ideas.
DM….do not get confuse. That ting PEETAR put on, was not a deal-dough. You tasted the real thing.

From the top, my opposition to Judas Josie is on a mental and spiritual level. He is the Darth Vader High Priest of St Lucia’s demonic forces.
You are striving to achieve adolescent human threshold but continuously regress to your PUBESCENT milestones.
Peetar and I shall never meet as humans- that thought is to repugnant to contemplate. Nor do I wish him any human harm –as a matter of fact I wish that he lives 9 lives long each 100 +years long . This way , like mythical ATLAS he can relive each wakening second in nightmarish gloom cajoled by vivid vistas of his wickedness…..oui!
I have proven that Peetar is a CHRONIC BAD CHOICE MAKER. That when given the priceless gift of superlative academic tutoring to enter the island’s only exclusive secondary education institution for males – at great expenses to family- he chose rum for his head and a deflowered virgin for his kok.
The ST Lucia House on 39th St near Church Ave. So that is the cheddar cheese that the emperor wishes to exploit for it is realty financial prospects? And the weasel wishes to scout it to earn kudos from Chas. Good luck the place is chastened by permit governance that requires city council overview. You will not get Fair market value. The Jewish alliance will profit while twiddle dumb flambeau can only hope to break even. Why not refurbish the place into a remedial /college prep institute for newly arrived Looshans.
First, Labor Day and fete at that altar to Bacchus is sacrilege. I typically vacate the state of New York at that time so that I do not have to reject visiting acquaintances, pals or family. Rest assured my travel at that time will be well documented to make it legal proof- in case of any natural or human mishap befalls Judas Priest.
I engaged for conquest of Peetar’s mind NOT his human body. In fact when my occupation of his mind is complete I will drive him to convert all monies pilfered as a result of his wrong doings, to start the construction of a mosque atop the plateau where the Darling Road and Calvary road create Siamese asphalt twins.
Are you considering a trap for me with Mr. Total disgust?

Black Pete Josie is the self-proclaimed champion of the Maleywey. This Lunatic slimeball is beyond any one’s scope of comprehension. This Black Sambo Negro is known for reminding the maleywez how he gave them food when they were so hungry, that if it were not because of magnanimity they would all be dead. For this act of self-aggrandizement, this worthless agent of Lucifer demanded that when he is given his one-way Express Ticket to Hell, that his name be written in the Clouds next to God’s, that all will know he fed you hungry Lucians. Today he is telling you not to obey the slave masters who he has placed to rule over your lives in the persons of the Chastanet Crime Family, even as they plan to destroy you Lucian Culture and Identity, and turn you into a province of the Chinese Mafia.
So what has Lucifer Chastanet ask Lucians to do ?
“If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.”
8 Again, the Lucifer Chastanet took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glorious Horse Racing Casinos.
9 “All this I will give You,” he said, “if You will fall down and worship me.”…
Well look who tried to run the identical Ponzi Scheme in China, for the SAME 2.6 BILLION DOLLARS, and was sent packing when THE SAME TOE AH KHING could not produce the finance necessary to to build this Horse Racing Scam ? THE SAME BROKE DESERT STAR HOLDINGS LTD, that this Jackass Two-Face Allen has handed your Country over to be bled dry.
Now just look at the Plan sold to that retarded nincompoop Allen Two-Face Chastanet, who you have elected to destroy the Pitons, and you will see it is for the same 2.6 billions dollars(U.S.), with the same drawings with a slight Photo Shop. Now that was some sixteen years ago and to this day nothing has materialized, BECAUSE TEO AH KHING, YES THE SAME TEO AH KHONG WAS BROKE UNTIL HE RUN INTO YOUR CHASTANET CRIME FAMILY. Notice the 2.6 billions ? Some coincidence, sackwey Kooyon! That was sixteen years ago, and up to now, ZERO.
An ambitious 10-year project, backed by developers in Dubai, aims to create a “Tianjin Horse City” with an international equestrian college, horse-breeding centre, auction base, animal feed factory, racetrack, and 7-star hotel with sweeping, phoenix-shaped grandstand. Here’s a picture of your Racing Track at Vieux Fort. Look at the date of the article.

It does not surprise me at all, to see how shamelessly you Negroes put on public display your state of being comatosed. The fact that your pathetic excuses as black men still allow your wives and children, your little daughters to kneel and kiss the feet of a naked White man as their Lord and Master tells volumes of your mental illness as Negroes, participating in this sexual orgie with a naked Caucasian, their wives and daughters, even as you sick SOBs sit and watch while perfecting the title of “PAPA MARCO”.
What type of man will sit and watch his wives and daughters pray and beg another man standing naked over them; a SICK HOUSE NIGGER.
The colonial educated African is without a doubt as deluded as the fanatic religious Negroes Patrick Anthony, Black Pete Josie, or Linus Clovis engaged in a deviant lifestyle filled with intoxicants, porn and mastubation.
This kind of Negro would do anything to undermine or chip-off the realities and conditions of the masses of African people. This kind of Negro advances the alien philosophies, ideas, beliefs, concepts, ethos, histories, achievements but teach nothing of the African’s hundred-thousand years of achievements.
Yes this kind of Frankenstein Negro is a product of the perverted educational system the White missionaries and the colonialists forced down the throat of our people during slavery and colonialism.
These sell-out Samboes and House Niggers like Black Pete and Rickets John Wayne can “Vergley”/blind you with falsehoods and worthless slogans, but I assure you their game of deceit and treachery is about to end sooner than you lobotomized Negroes think, and this Chastanet Criminal Empire of White Supremacy will soon catch the last train to the Caves of Europe.
Here’s your woman singing to get laid by the white king. Ou pas ne HONTE ? VIEUX MARCO !

Grenada has always honored intellectual development. When Caribbean mass meia was still in its cradle WIBS was HQ in Grenada. Ask Earl Bousquet what a splendid leadersip role they executed with that radio alliance.
Moreover, the Simon Bolivar experience prior to invasion did infuse national solidarity and COLLECTIVE purpose towwards national self reliance as in one for all and all for one.
On that note and with the Ccco Dan travesty in mind….Pete go soak a cigar in overproof rum then insert it fully into your bon-dah.
Perhaps NY will do us a favor and strike a match to it-on the rim BANZAI!
you have an obsession with PEETAR, why is that? you can not reverse the damage already done, but you can prevent future damage. David Prescod is doing just that, read that CIP article he just wrote “racing to the bottom”. That brother is stimulating serious thought in the minds of conscious patriots. Unlike you, a fake. Disguise in your French colors claiming to defend Luica… PEETAR will be at the Helenites this laborday weekend come settle your molestation issues with him in person. PS, your buddy Vincent McDoom will mediate. You will thank me at Hillary’s victory party.

No one is “obsessed” with this relic from 30,000 BC. Black Pete is just the best practical example of what has happened to the Great African People who brought civilization to the Savages of Europe, and took them out of the Dark Ages when these filthy savages did not even bathe, believing that the Funky odor of excrement and urine was perfume which elevated their attraction in the eyes of the other Caucasian savages. The Black/Bubonic Plague wiped out almost half of the population of these savages because of their filthiness, until the African Moors took them out of the latrine called England, smelling of urine and feces and taught them hygiene and how to cook their food, instead of eating raw swine.
Today we have Negroes like Black Pete Josie who hates himself and anyone who looks like his kind, requesting Black women not be allowed to participate in Beauty pageants because they are “too Black and Uglier”, even while these disgraceful scum bags teach their wives and daughters to get urinated on by a naked Caucasian peeing blood into their mouths who they call their God Jesus.
It’s The “War of Armageddon” and we are after the heads of these Satanic beings in Human forms in a battle we are guaranteed Victory.
Surah As-Saff
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful.
All that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth glorifieth Allah, and He is the Mighty, the Wise. (1)
O ye who believe! Why say ye that which ye do not? (2)
It is most hateful in the sight of Allah that ye say that which ye do not. (3)
Lo! Allah loveth them who battle for His cause in ranks, as if they were a solid structure. (4)
And (remember) when Moses said unto his people: O my people! Why persecute ye me, when ye well know that I am Allah’s messenger unto you? So when they went astray Allah sent their hearts astray. And Allah guideth not the evil-living folk. (5)
And when Jesus son of Mary said: O Children of Israel! Lo! I am the messenger of Allah unto you, confirming that which was (revealed) before me in the Torah, and bringing good tidings of a messenger who cometh after me, whose name is the Praised One. Yet when he hath come unto them with clear proofs, they say: This is mere magic. (6)
And who doeth greater wrong than he who inventeth a lie against Allah when he is summoned unto Al-Islam? And Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk. (7)
Fain would they put out the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light however much the disbelievers are averse. (8)
He it is Who hath sent His messenger with the guidance and the religion of Truth, that He may make it conqueror of all religion however much idolaters may be averse. (9)
O ye who believe! Shall I show you a commerce that will save you from a painful doom? (10)
Ye should believe in Allah and His messenger, and should strive for the cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives. That is better for you, if ye did but know. (11)
He will forgive you your sins and bring you into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, and pleasant dwellings in Gardens of Eden. That is the supreme triumph. (12)
And (He will give you) another blessing which ye love: help from Allah and present victory. Give good tidings (O Muhammad) to believers. (13)
O ye who believe! Be Allah’s helpers, even as Jesus son of Mary said unto the disciples: Who are my helpers for Allah? They said: We are Allah’s helpers. And a party of the Children of Israel believed, while a party disbelieved. Then We strengthened those who believed against their foe, and they became the uppermost. (14)

I admit there are times when I am a little slow, but I always reflect on things. It has certainly become clear that you are one of these individuals always using “POOP” in your discourse. I have always found this colloquy strange, but only just now it has dawned upon me that you have simply morphed into one of these Europeans savages from the Elizabethan Era and the Dark Ages, still thinking that Poop is something attractive and pleasant. Yet again DASSAULT MIRAGE may have already diagnosed your propensity on the down-low with an obsession for Deal-Does.

This mis-educational system has focused solely on breeding gullible Negroes like the, “I AM NOT BLACK” Derek Walcott with his trophy white woman, or “I am Roman Catholic” Rickets John Wayne and Black Pete Josie, with a dead Caucasian hanging around their necks, for use as a destructive tool to facilitate their exploitation of the African resources and lands, and the domination of the African minds, and being sure Negroes understand that their God and Master is a Caucasian. Unfortunately at independence it was this same class of deluded Negro hubris, the so-called educated elites, that monopolized the helm of affairs in St . Lucia producing a total Jackass white supremacist as the CHASTANET CRIME FAMILY who has handed our country over to a Chinese Mafia operation, and being St. Lucian will mean NOTHING, and can be purchased for small change..

That is exactly why he promised the gullible “EASY EXODUS” to US ..in order to balance the influx of the new occupation migrants.
The current granting of US visa to legally work in US is based on a needed skill or high academic accomplishment (college+) entry level. In other words you are highly trained to ADD to the the US work force PRODUCTIVELY!!!!!!!!!
