Check SLASPA and Royal Caribbean and the plans they have for royal caribbean doing development work on the castries port.
then have a look at Front Street on the island of St Maarten as wellas St.Croix...how most of that street in St Maarten is now used for shops owned by cruise ship companies.This looks like plans of the desperate,I mean moving gov't offices into rental properties.Why do I say so?
read the following article on www.Caribbeannewsnow.com entitled:CARIBBEAN ECONOMIES WILL CONTINUE TO FEEL PAIN,SAYS IMF EXPERT.
The main reasons the expert gives for the continuing suffering of the caribbean economies including St.Lucia's is that the islands are (a)heavily dependent on tourism and (b)that our economies are tied to the falling U.S economy.
We need to do something quickly.
My question: Do we love the States so much that we are willing to sink with them,even when alll experts are warning of the coming collapse of the U.S economy even their own senators?
read the following article:US SENATOR GREGG JUDD WARNS OF FINANCIAL MELTDOWN RISK.
You can find that on :WWW.infiniteunknown.net.
A related article is entitled:CHINA TO PURCHASE 191.3 TONS OF IMF GOLD.
what does the China move signify?
Simply this:China is no longer willing to invest it's reserves in the US economy.They are no longer willing to continue buying U.S debt.Put on your thinking St.Lucians,think what this will do to the US economy and to our economy if we are unwilling to divorce the US and it's sinking economy.Think of the attendant social unrest and civil disorder in St.Lucia with accompanying police repression and brutality as the Government tries to come to terms with the potential internal discord as it tries to follow the line of its US masters to which the SLU government seems suicidally married.
Additionally Antigua and Barbuda have signed agreements with Morocco and other African countries signalling that they are slowly moving away from dependence on the US economy.Additionally the following article found on www.caribbean360.com entitled:Barbados explores joint venture with Netherlands...these moves tell a story,and there are lots more as other nations move away from the sinking US econmmy.
We need to take charge of our affairs and make sure that the government DOES what we want and not what they want....additionally I heard that King does not listen to people who do not agree with him.....coming dictatorship??
We need to do some heavy soul searching fellas.

Here is some more information this time straight from the U.S FEDERAL RESERVE CHAIRMAN HIMSELF Beb Bernanke.The article is entitled:Ben Bernanke tells the Truth:The United States is on the brink of financial disaster.It is found on www.economicpolicyjournal.com/2010/10/bernanke-tells.
Check out www.infiniteunknown.net for the same article,or simply type the headline in your search bar.
So let us look at the King government's move to increase our debt load in this perspective.....I doubt that King has more information than the US. FED Chairman.....neither does Bousquet.So here we are; let's do some thinking AND THEN SOME ACTION.

ALLEN CHASTANET IS ABOUT FILLING HIS AND HIS FATHER'S POCKETS AND THEIR CHOSEN FRIENDS WITH ALL THEY CAN FURTHER AMASS, UNDER THE GUISE OF SO-CALLED TOURISM INITIATIVES, SUCH AS THE SO-CALLED CASTRIES RE-DEVELOPMENT PLAN, ETC. ETC.

GIVEN THE CLEAR EVIDENCE THAT TOURISM, AND THE HEAVY RELIANCE ON TOURISTS, WILL NOT PROFIT THIS COUNTRY IN THE SHORT OR MEDIUM TERM, AND CERTAINLY TODAY, WE CANNOT SAY, FOR THE LON TERM, WHY ARE THOSE RATS HURRIEDLY RUSHING TO UNDERTAKE SUCH AN INVESTMENT,GIVEN THE SIGNS ON THE HORIZON, GLOBALLY AND IN SAINT LUCIA ITSELF.

GOVERNMENT REVENUES ARE AT AN ALL TIME LOW. UNEMPLOYMENT IS AT AN ALL TIME HIGH. IN THE MEANTIME, THOSE RATS IN GOVERNMENT ARE CONTINUING TO WASTE MONEY LIKE THEY ARE LITERALLY LOSING THEIR MINDS. DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING RELIABLE TO COME FROM FRANCIS COMPTON AT THE NIS. HIS HISTORICAL RECORD AT THE NIS IN TIMES PAST IS WELL KNOWN. ST. LUCIA IS IN SHIT, AND THE SAME PLAYERS ARE RE-CYCLED OVER AND OVER AGAIN, MAKING THE RESULTS WORST, AT EVERY TURN. THE COUNTRY IS PARTICULARLY CORRUPT. DISHONESTY REIGNS SUPREME. THAT IS IN LARGE PART, THE RESULT OF THE MELTDOWN WE ARE WITNESSING TODAY. THE GOVERNMENT/ PUBLIC SECTOR IS CORRUPT AND A FILTHY PLACE TO DO BUSINESS. DISHONESTY REIGNS SUPREME.THE COUNTRY IS DOOMED. THE LEADERS CANNOT SERVE AS ANY GOOD EXAMPLES. SOME IN SECTIONS OF THE MEDIA WERE INSTRUMENTAL FOR THIS MESS IN ST. LUCIA, AS THEY BROKERED FOR THEIR OWN GAIN, LICKING-UP THE REARS OF POLITICIANS FOR BUSINESS CONCESSIONS, AND TELLING LIES TO ST. LUCIANS WHEN IT SUITED THEM FINE TO DO SO. WITHHOLDING PERTINENT INFORMATION FROM THE PUBLIC, WHEN THEY NEED TO BROKER POLITICS FOR BUSINESS CONCESSIONS. THESE WRETCHES WILL SOON MEET THEIR WATERLOO, AND THINGS WILL OCCUR AT THEIR OWN DOORSTEPS, AS IT OCCURED AT STEPHENSON KING'S CONSTITUENCY OFFICE, JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO. TANTO, TANTO. TIME WILL CERTAINLY TELL.
