By Stephen Lester Prescott
TWO weeks ago and in response to the news that Stephenson King and his fellow dissidents had written Allen Chastanet seeking a meeting to make peace, I had pointedly stated that Chastanet would reject the request. And so it proved!
I said this about Sarah Flood-Beaubrun’s challenge: “Further, how does one explain that despite King, Montoute and Mary Polius all declining to accept nominations to contest senior positions on the party’s executive – they all claim the process is already fixed to guarantee a Chastanet victory – they all have publicly thrown their support behind the naive Sarah Flood-Beaubrun? Would it not better serve their purposes to have Mrs. Flood-Beaubrun throw her support with the dissidents and boycott the event which they claim is set up to ensure Chastanet cannot lose? Why then is Mrs. Flood-Beaubrun running a race and receiving support from those who already know she doesn’t have a chance? Are they so politically infantile not to appreciate that a Flood-Beaubrun challenge serves only to legitimise a Chastanet victory”?
It is now common knowledge that Mrs. Flood-Beaubrun’s dreams came crashing down this past Sunday when she polled less than 17% of the votes cast. Fresh from his victory Chastanet, would, however, immediately revert to form. According to the UWP leader, with him as Prime Minister, St Lucians would no longer require visas to enter the United States and Canada. Of course, Chastanet appears to have conveniently forgotten that under Kenny Anthony’s Labour government, St Lucians were in fact allowed visa free access to Canada. He has chosen to forget that it was under his watch that Canada began the move to impose visa restrictions. Rather than provide his usual false hope promises, Chastanet would be better off telling us what it was that his government did which caused the Canadians to eventually impose visas on Saint Lucian citizens.
Still on the question of sanctions, was it not whilst he was in office that that the so called extra judicial killings occurred and eventually led the US government to invoke the Leahy Law on the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force? Was he not a Cabinet Minister when Operation Restore Confidence occurred?
Though the responses to the above questions are an obvious yes, don’t hold your breath thinking Chastanet’s acknowledgement is a given. Chastanet is after all the same individual who insisted he had said one thing about petrol prices in Grenada even in the face of irrefutable evidence, including a tape recording, that he had said something else. Late last week, in another recording made public, he is heard saying that should Flood-Beaubrun defeat him at the convention he would refuse to work with her. When confronted, Chastanet responded that he had nothing to say as the comments he made were intended only for the delegates and not for public consumption. In effect, Chastanet admitted to saying he would not work with Sarah Flood-Beaubrun. If as leader of a political party Chastanet already displays such dictatorial tendencies, imagine what he would be like as Prime Minister.
No doubt, troubled by the population’s view of him as untrustworthy, the UWP leader this week took to the Talk Show circuit, telling UWP apologist, Clinton Reynolds, that contrary to public perception he was never deemed an untrustworthy witness. According to Chastanet, the High Court had deemed him a credible witness and all the Court of Appeal did was simply declare him a witness. Confused? Don’t be. Unfortunately for Chastanet, voters are no longer the uninformed people of the 70s. Today’s voter is a much more discerning individual, one who does not simply accept all that is said to them. They know that what the Court of Appeal did was nothing short of telling Chastanet his evidence could not be believed. Chastanet had told the Court that he was absent for a particular Cabinet meeting when the records showed otherwise. The Court of Appeal summarily set aside the High Court ruling that he was a credible witness, rendering his testimony similar to that of Al Capone’s. Not to be trusted!
And so the theatre continues.
This week began much like how last week ended. Chastanet was on the ropes attacking all and sundry. Last week, the St. Lucia Electricity Services was the latest to feel his unwarranted wrath. On 13 November, 2015, his office issued a press release where it called on the utility company to “clarify rumours that prices remained high due to an internal mistake by the company and instead of the shareholders paying for the mistake, they kept prices high in order to pass on the cost of the mistake to consumers.”
Not only had Allen Chastanet accused one of the most reputable companies in the Caribbean of a criminal offence but he did so on something as unsubstantiated and flimsy as a “rumour”. Is that how Chastanet intends to govern our Fair Helen? This is a man who has said nothing in response to Kenny Anthony’s damning question regarding Guy Joseph having made certain entreaties to his then Prime Minister Stephenson King. Doesn’t it bother Chastanet that more than three weeks later King is yet to deny the bribe attempt? Yet this same man with not one shred of evidence would, on a mere “rumour” accuse the shareholders of St Lucia Electricity Services of robbing the public.
We should not be surprised for this is the same man who without batting an eyelid, rented a tent for nearly a million dollars and saw nothing wrong with that squander mania. The same man who would heartlessly dismiss nine poor female workers from Soufriere – the same Soufriere he would later ask to support him – whilst simultaneously employing James Hepple for than one million dollars. The same man who would cost the State in excess of $40,000.00 monthly in telephone bills and close to a million dollars in travel expenses during his tenure.
In his continuing desperation, Chastanet would turn to the clearly out of touch Sir James Mitchell to be his convention’s key note speaker. James Mitchell? Really now! In what must be considered among the most boring of speeches ever, one which caused more perspiration than inspiration, Mitchell would chastise what he termed Caribbean Prime Ministers who do not know when it was time to quit. Has Chastanet now concluded that his only chance of defeating Kenny Anthony is to call on the Prime Minister to not contest the next poll? Is he finally acknowledging what all of his polls have long ago told him, that in any head to head battle Kenny Anthony leads by three to one? Has Chastanet finally come to realise that as distant as are his prime ministerial dreams they become almost extinct with Kenny Anthony at Labour’s helm?
And who is James Mitchell to tell us when to change our Prime Minister? Arnhim Eustace succeeded the same James Mitchell over a decade ago and has lost successive general elections to Ralph Gonsalves. On the basis of Mitchell’s pronouncement, Eustace should have long ago called it a day but guess who is leading the NDP into next month’s elections? The same Arnhim Eustace. Does Mitchell not know that in the last General Elections, Kenny Anthony not only polled his largest number of votes in his twenty-year career but in the process, the margin of his victory was also his largest ever! Mitchell is certainly better off giving his advice to his own party.
Notwithstanding the sheer stupidity, not to mention the factually incorrect assertion by Mitchell as it related to Caribbean prime ministers, Mary Isaac could not resist. Handed the simple task of delivering the vote of thanks, Isaac would instead launch an assault on former Prime Minister and UWP Political Leader, Stephenson King. She chastised him for being the only former Prime Minister who sat as a backbencher in any Caribbean island. She said this was the first and only time that a former Prime Minister was a backbencher in a parliament and that it was time for King to move on in favour of the youth.
My information is that King is younger than Isaac. In effect, at a time when she is older than King and is seeking to contest the upcoming general elections she is asking King to move out in favour of the youth. I carry no brief for King whom I believe is foolishly holding on to a dream of again leading the UWP – the sooner he realises that Chastanet’s money will make that next to impossible the better off he will be – but this is no way to treat a man who almost single-handedly held the party together following its devastating 16-1 defeat in 1997. It must hurt that such criticism is coming not from a stalwart but from someone who as recently as the 2011 General Elections was seeking to be Labour Party candidate.
That is another difference in the quality of Kenny Anthony’s leadership over Chastanet’s. Where Kenny saw the danger of the loose cannon Mary and let her go before she caused too much damage, Chastanet, blinded by his own ambition, is willing to partner with anyone who supports him, no matter how much damage they cause to the UWP. Mary and Allen are truly well met! May their political marriage endure, forever.
OH, the insolence of office:
You Labour Party guys never give up on Allen Chastanet, do you?
well, let’s see; from what I can see, he is doing quite well, thank God.
For those of you who spend all of your lives in politics, be aware that
there is no life after politics. That ‘Titanic’ of yours, is sinkable after all.
You will all soon find out. I will leave you with this thought.
The evil intended against him by you, God turned it around for the good.
the # fox.
you an azzzzzzz.
Where God coming in your bullshit?
The Fox, are you serious? What is Allen Chastenet’s legacy? Please, share. Additionally, you said the Titanic sank . . . well, it did because it was made of substandard material. Guess which party is made up of substandard material, attempting to bind together . . . The UWP. The materials are:
1. Mary Isaac
2. Allen Chastenet
3. Guy Joseph
4. Stephenson King
5. Ezekiel Joseph
6. Guy Mayers
In attempting to bring the party together, the party brought in:
1. Psychologist
2. Counselors
3. Even Jame Mitchel
The above mentioned, were brought in to keep the party together but that just cannot and will never work. They failed! Just as iron and clay cannot cleave is the same way UWP will not cleave. It will sink. They will not form the Government after the next general elections.
the Crow
tell the fox that he try 2 rape THE “BIG RED-RIDING-HOOD” but she was to vibrant and healthy for his next to-nothing dick.
There was this man who started with a bunch of nonentities,
some lowly fishermen, a Tax collector, and so on. They turned the
world upside down, even I felt the effects after 2,000 years;
It has nothing to do with the six you mentioned above. Once you are
picked for the requirements, not even the chosen ones are aware of what
stands ahead of them, amazed are they when miracles begin to happen.
I can only promise you, stand in awe for you will be amazed: I promise you.
FOX:
The Cardinal describes you as a, “resident vermin rodent of the sub basement of Lucifer’s inferno.” and like the genius that he is, his words are seasoned with mercy. As for me, I have too often identified you and the cabal of House Niggers who see the so-called white man Allen Chastanet as God, to be a shameless bunch of lowlifes willing to put your own Black daughters on the block to obtain some crumb from Allen and his lowlife backer Michael who advocates the murder of Black Lucian ‘mar-le-weys’ he calls boys, Bad Boys, who should be murdered by rogue police, and you will be rewarded with a Witch as your First Lady and as a bonus, fulfill your lust and have a white woman as the object of your masturbation.
Thanks for finally admitting that Chastanet is Jesus/God who walked on water and made Peter Josie the Rock of his Kingdom.
Peter’s Confession of Christ
17. And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.
18 “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19 “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven(a white woman); and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.”…

# The Fox is none other than alter ego of PETER Judas JOSIE-
I once referred to him as sly Marie Islet Fox-
an erroneous label way above his true potential of resident vermin rodent of the sub basement of Lucifer’s inferno.
Note his style as he responds in an attempt to blunt superior credible authors – way beyond his myopic rose colored, carpet bagging salesmanship of silver spooned aristocrat Emperor Chaz.
This is the same Chaz who knows only his online study notes on Bush implementation of Reagonomics.
With Reaganomics the gains made by the Civil Rights Act 1964 (Kennedy-MLKing legacy) were eroded in deliberate appeal to racist sentiments.
That is why my evac Sikorsky will pluck ‘osie
– Noriega style and whisk this vermin to a secure psychiatric center or Dante’s Inferno…..
Peter ‘udas ‘osie aka # (666) The Fox-
is a vile hermaphrodite who was phsically, mentally & spiritually CASTRATED during his earl tenure at St Mary’s College.
Why?
The challenge of his Latin studies classes triggered his latent Bi-Polar Disorder, overlaying his parents suspicions of SCHZOID AFFECT -during his earlier Primary school vignettes and neighborly informal anecdotals.
Middle class access to maintenance meds plaed a pivotal role in cloaking his abnormal disorders.
Be warned he is a dangerous venomous SIDEWINDER of the reptilian phylum-as he enjoys the enabling empowerment-
doled out b the aristocracy. Only infra red detection can monitor this nocturnal denizen of Hades.
Cardinal, you talk out of that fertile orifice below your gut and it has the same
offensive sound and smell you’re accustomed to. No point you never come clean
anyway so, leave the alter boys alone.
hank you Peter “cloaked Fox”- the nose of Bergerac indeed!
Unlike your snail and mushroom hunting French /Irisk patrons-whose aims are their own self serving gastronomic pleasures;
the foul and antiseptic smells of hospitals are my calling.
You are quite right- I can be quite stoic in the presence of foul human odor- because I have answered the spiritual call to serve humanity -at its fragile fringes.
Yes Josie I can patiently perform a slow meticulous colonoscopy through your bowels 🙂
Have you ever volunteered to counsel homeless souls on wintry subways , streets in an attempt to get them to shelters /medical resources etc.
Well, said proximity may entail odors if not stench that reaches stratospheric altitudes. Therefore, I thank God for a daily steam and bath.
But why this nauseating detour, let’s get back to an arena that is even more odiferous- your recent convention at Gros Islet- n’est pas?
Theatre of the Horror Freak Show
Featuring:
1-Rigo: Sporting shaven scalp of a French Nazi Collaborator + US$5000 Augmented Mammary Glands for cosmetic appeal-only!
2- Mary the bearded Hag- $100’s on maintenance hormone treatments to control facial hair abnormalities and other bouts of exaggerated male aggressiveness. Active witch
3- Guy- Pavlovian canine instincts. Covertly stuck betwixt the coveted flamboyance of of Little Richard and Liberace-
4- Peter Josie : castrated hermaphodite
5- Chaz- Imagines himself to be the Phil Jackson of St Lucia “B-Ball Politics”
6- Sarah Flood- Dumb Blonde as lady in perpetual distress
The Fabulously Freaky Flambeau Convention
“Karn Evil 9”
Cold and misty morning, I heard a warning borne in the air
About an age of power where no one had an hour to spare,
Where the seeds have withered, silent children shivered, in the cold
Now their faces captured in the lenses of the jackals for gold.
Chaz willl be there
Rigo will be there
The witch Mary Isaac will be there.

# The Fox aka Alter Ego of Peter Judas Josie-
here is a clue as to my favorite character traits- and online profile-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEacXeAbHpQ
Your hasty retreat from the “skirmish” (nb-only sissies SQUABBLE 😉
in order to cloak your Doberman style -TAILESS sphincter,
is evidenced in your ‘batee-bwoy’ allusion.
As usual you veer of course/target because of the “Shakes” compiled from your long term chronic drunken lifestyle.
Think satire -when you read my nom de plume, oui.
As the ship of state pitched /listed precariously in the swirling seas of global economic squalls; Mary played mute/dumb/mule, by burying her head ostrich style in Choc Bay sand. Ah, much like Petar Judas Josie, her conniving prowess anticipated the proverbial pieces of silver.
For that deliberate roadblock act of national sabotage, SS chief Himmler paid her with a senate seat:
Aplomb and on cue at the conspicuous convention; the 3rd generation of Conway-Bahjuhns who kept the wharf rats in check from the spoils of the “matlow” brothels-
..reared her “tete chien” to rail at a sitting ELECTED MP of the nation.
At that moment her face was as dreadful as a screaming Irish Banshee 🙁
Maybe it’s the pastoral suburban middle class posture of La Clery –
juxtaposed to squalid memories, conveyed via the oral history of grand parents;
raised in a Conway neighborhood that harbored all the decadent excesses of Marlene Dietrich’s Berlin, circa 1920’s.
Should we be surprised that the witch inherited her canine chops from some gin soaked bar room preferable engagement with a tattooed yeoman- somewhere along the generational continuum.
Any who, it is what it is; since our national importance to Europe has for the most part has been- STRATEGIC NAVAL LOCATION- ask the late Admiral Rodney.
Ask Chaz senior about the synergy of the Castries COALING STATION and early Conway roustabouts.
The hybrid symmetry between the Chas Coaling emporium and the genetically coded traits acquired from the Speak easy joints of ye olde Conway –
is a skulls & bones pact between Mary the witch & Chas jr.
Nonetheless, the witch is better qualified as a Madame manager of twilight “flys”in the liberalized districts of Amsterdam, jawohl!
