CHASTENET CHASTISES KING

Anonymous said...: Micah, thank you for this piece. As a journalist, the least of your responsibilities should be your proper spelling of the names of the personalities. You spelled the UWP Political Leader's name wrongly 13 times, so it is no error. Please try to get it right, as it clearly is not Rocket Science. This doesn't look good for you brother. Also, Allen's letter has several grammatical errors. Even that qualified university graduate can hardly write, yet he wants to be Prime Minister of the Caribbean Laureate kingdom. I hope that this is not a national disease in my father's birthplace. Thanks again for the piece. Peeping Tom.; January 9, 2014 at 10:02 AM

While the Gods are angry with us
we are doing our best to screw up by ourselves.
I don't like that talk down to king by Chastanet,
but King himself fails to command a manly respect as a leader, lack of sophistication
and a lack of leadership command for the position he holds. We need new blood, not a new Party.; January 9, 2014 at 10:59 AM
Son-of-man said...: "Forward, the Light Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Someone had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

The Christmas day storm which caused intensive damage to the island's infrastructure, revealed a number of unintended side-effects, that those with remembering ears might remember. It magnified the exemplary leadership of the Labor Government headed by Dr. Kenny Anthony while exposing the diabolical schemes from Snake-oil Circus-illusionist, offering trick-bag solutions on how to stop the rain from falling, and stop the Sun from shinning.

This macabre behavior was perpetrated by the father of a rejected power-hungry politician in what was a failed attempt to undermine the Government of Saint Lucia at a time when the people were in a life and death Emergency situation, with families engaged in recovering the dead bodies of their loved ones.

More than the manifestation of Lucifer and his Bolom, this divine rain exposed the enormous blunder made by members of the UWP when they selected an ignorant imbecile as their leader in the person of Allen Chastanet. First there was the failed publicity stunt by Chastanet in the form of a written request to the PM for the removal of the tax on emergency relief supplies. The only problem with the request is, emergency relief supplies are not subjected to taxation.

In a magnanimous act of bipartisanship, Dr. Anthony briefed the Official leader of the parliamentary opposition (LPO) Mr. Stephenson King, informing him of the challenges the country faced, and the actions required to alleviate the suffering caused by this Natural disaster – since Chastanet was rejected by the people of Soufreire he is not a voting member of parliamentary opposition and cannot hold the position of LPO, even though he is leader of the United Workers Party. To Mr. King's credit he agreed to work with Kenny to stabilize the disruptions caused by this disaster.

Chastanet became extremely agitated{en-wa-jey} accusing Mr. King of insubordination for not seeking his permission to meet with Saint Lucia's Prime Minster Dr. Anthony, and Chastanet now threatens to cause a constitutional crisis at a time when everyone is calling for unity to alleviate the sufferings of the people who have suffered so much already, and in some cases have lost all of their possessions. Chastanet intends to ask the Governor General to remove Mr. king and install Guy Joseph, a man who is known to hide hurricane and emergency relief items under his bed, while having the most annoying voice in the Western Hemisphere.

Obviously you understand it, since you work at the Super Market, but there's no need to follow this Ignoramus Allen Chastanet on this kamikaze trajectory to embarrass the Lucian people.

Do you have any shame at all? You little dwarf. The country was in a state of emergency requiring prompt and immediate action; people were dying, transportation paralyzed, but you think by virtue of your retardation, that the best “Democratic” action was that king sit with the Power-hungry Chastanet to plan a strategy on how to win the next ELECTION?

You little dwarf, or should I say Te-Bolom-Chastanet, there was nothing selfish about the Hon. King meeting with Dr, Anthony to arrest the suffering and damage caused by this unprecedented Natural Disaster. The only atrocity here is there are degenerates like yourself who think that party-politics supersedes saving the lives of your fellowman.; January 10, 2014 at 5:41 AM
LuciaBoy said...: No Snake Charmer

Allen Chastenet was right about one thing, winning the leadership of the UWP was a fait accompli. What he never imagined was that winning the hearts and minds of the rank and file of the party would prove to be such a formidable task. He might have “bought”, according to whom you speak to, a real live snake-pit but he sure is a lousy snake charmer.

He was of the misguided impression that with his many years at the top of the food chain (no pun intended) in the corporate world he would be able to transform the UWP into a ruthlessly efficient well-oiled election winning machine.

To achieve this lofty goal he would have to have the likes of Stephenson King, and particularly Richard Frederick marching in lock step with him but so far it seems he has a better chance building an igloo in hell.

Mr. Chastenet will be unable to get the still smarting and more politically calculating King and the Machiavellian former Housing Minister working in tandem with him to achieve his personal goal of being Prime Minister and his party’s goal of retaining governing control of the political economy of Saint Lucia.

Mr. King for his part has not fully relinquished the leadership of the party to Mr. Chastenet he seemingly thinks that Chastenet’s hold on the reins is tenuous at best and that he is the rightful owner of the party leadership bequeathed to him by Sir John. He has made it abundantly clear that he will be back and so he intends to make Mr. Chastenet’s life at the helm hell. He plans to show him as effete, a blunderbuss with more bark than bite.

Mr. King perceives himself as superior to the Johnny-come-lately, who is yet to win a seat by dint of his talents or political acumen and who may very well never accomplish that goal unless he, Mr. Chastenet goes into some kind of costly accommodation with a holder of a supposed safe seat.

Mr. King feels that he has been the loyal altar boy of the UWP High Priest and the other founding fathers; he’s had many years of ministerial responsibility, has had several electoral victories under his belt, he is the undisputed Leader of Her Majesty’s Opposition, and more importantly has already occupied the highest position in government as Prime Minister - albeit a disastrous tenure.

Perhaps Mr. King’s failure to acknowledge Mr. Chastenet’s leadership and authority in the party speaks to his seeming disdain for the democratic process that saw his ouster and a visceral reaction to what he considers to be a rejection of him who held a fractious government in place until everyone was sated by the incestuous orgy of spending of Taiwanese funds and other state largesse.

He feels betrayed by those whom he thought were in his corner and wants very badly to regain the leadership to exact some revenge.

Mr. King, it is believed by some well placed party members, is being advised by nefarious characters and perhaps by some of the opposite side, to goad Mr. Chastenet to the point of an “I’ll break glass in your ass” episode ala Julian Hunte thereby tar and feather Mr. Chastenet's supposed lily-white image and make him seem unfit to hold the highest office in the land.

Cont. below; January 10, 2014 at 6:39 AM
LuciaBoy said...: LuciaBoy cont..

UWP supporters must never discount the possibility that they can be victims of SLP subterfuge as the same persons who excoriated King for his lack of hap, lacking the necessary intellectual heft to grapple with the international, regional, and national problems that beset us, and accused him of pretty much standing pat while all manner of corruption was rife in his administration are the same ones offering him fulsome praise as the best thing that has happened to the UWP lately.

For his part Mr. Chastenet seems hell bent on changing the culture of a party of renegades who showed Mr. King little respect and consideration during his tenure in leadership simply because he King could not command that respect by virtue of him being pillowy at the core and lacking in courage to assert leadership.

One glaring misstep of Mr. Chastenet is to give the impression that the party should decide who should attend a meeting that the Leader of the Opposition was invited to instead of the party jointly deciding what Mr. King should bring up at the meeting.

Mr. Chastenet is doomed to fail as he lacks the soft skills needed to rein in the seemingly recalcitrant King and has little chance of even getting Richard Frederick to greet him much less cooperate with him in his efforts to make the UWP viable again.

The UWP will not win another election by virtue of SLP self immolation so they will have to wrest the government from the SLP by dint of hard work in the trenches, becoming a unified party offering the best hope for the country’s future with visionary transformative leadership.

Anything short of that will relegate them to the comatose state they were in during the period of the previous Kenny Anthony-led two term administration.; January 10, 2014 at 6:44 AM

Here is an opportunity to examine the effects of the Stellar leadership that Kenny Anthony has applied to establish friendships with the Governments of the World that has now resulted in countries around the World expressing empathy, condolences, and monetary assistance.

Based on the goon-like tactics of Chastanet, I ask you, who would you prefer to be to be at the helm at this time – try to put aside party politics.

PRESS RELEASE

06/14
For Immediate Release
January 10, 2014

CONDOLENCES POUR IN

Two weeks after the deadly Christmas Eve Trough, condolence messages continue to pour in from friendly Governments and organizations from near and far.

The President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro Moros, on behalf of the Government and People of Venezuela, offered deepest condolences to the "fraternal Peoples of Dominica, Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines". In a communique dated December 27, 2013 the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela also expressed "its unwavering support to the efforts of the respective Governments, in the care of the victims and the reconstruction of the affected infrastructure, with the aim of continuing the promotion of the sustainable development of the Greater Caribbean, on behalf of our Peoples."

In a letter dated December 27, 2013, Hon. Dr. W. Baldwin Spencer, Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda wrote,

"I was saddened to learn of the destruction that resulted from the passage of torrential rainfall in Saint Lucia on 24th December, 2013.

The Government and people of Antigua and Barbuda wish to extend its condolence to you and citizens of Saint Lucia and it is my hope that your beloved country will remain resolute and sanguine during this difficult period. "

The Rt. Hon. Dr. Denzil Douglas, Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis also expressed the sorrow of his Government and People, while pledging a donation of XCD $1 million. The Prime Minister wrote,

"In extending heartfelt sympathy on this occasion, I also commit to assisting where possible to quickly relieve your people of the discomfort and to ensure they return to a state of normalcy as quickly as possible.

Please know we stand in solidarity with you and your beloved people during this time of sorrow. "

Premier of Nevis also wrote to offer support to the Government and People of Saint Lucia, following news of the effects of the trough. Hon. Vance Amory said,

"My Ministers and I share your distress and pray that the resilience of your people and your Government will enable you and them to recover from this unusual and serious devastation at the hands of Mother Nature.

I extend my heart and my hand to you and your people and if there is anything we can do in the Spirit of Regional Cooperation and Caribbean Brotherhood, please let us know and we shall do what we can to assist in this time of need. "

Prime Minister, Hon. Dr. Kenny D. Anthony was indeed pleased to receive a letter of support from the Office of the Leader of the Opposition, in Jamaica. Hon. Andrew Holness , Political Leader of the Jamaica Labour Party wrote,

"Let me extend to your Government and the people of St. Lucia, condolences on behalf of the officers and members of the Jamaica Labour Party, and in fact all Jamaicans, regarding the loss of lives which have occurred with the passage of the Christmas Storm. We also take note of the significant damage to Infrastructure which has taken place.

While we are not in a position to offer technical assistance, we want however for you to understand, that we commiserate with you, especially in light of this occurrence taking place within time dedicated to family festivities."

The Government of Saint Lucia again takes this opportunity to thank all for their prayers, support and words of comfort.

We continue to urge all to reach out to those families affected by the trough, whether through loss of life or personal property.

Anonymous said...: The UWP has always had problems in its ranks of cliques determined to maintain the status quo from the time of Sir John.
Insular and only concerned with their perceived importance they would rather support 'their boy' King than move forward.
How quickly we forget the sheer horror of kings lack of leadership,
Mounted by whycleff at pigeon point. The daily turmoil when we Lucian's did not know from one morning to the next what was happening in the country.
The rumours of the use of money from a friendly country. The waste of resources. The denigration of Sir John's legacy by the vulgar behaviour of Cabinet.
Under King St Lucia was a laughing stock around the Caribbean. Now the simple minded uwp hacks want this clown to bring more shame on the party.
There is no hope for now pathetic Helen.; January 11, 2014 at 3:46 AM

Now they are meeting with him to marginalise chastanet and feed his ego.

Anonymous said...: The recent death of Israel's legendary statesman brings to mind a plausible direction on the continuum of political structures available to Fair Helen. It appears that consensus is growing for a plurality of political party representation beyond the typical two party dominance. In Israel's pluralistic party framework, often times post election alliances must be negotiated in order to form a ruling majority. This particular mechanism may subdue bitter subjective rivalries while practicing more objective outcomes.
The mission of the nation becomes paramount whilst more obscure voices become part of the nation building conversation.
As for the senate circle of influence perhaps a framework that borrows some fittings from the federal model might do. For example, use the old parish delineation measures to ELECT one senator each for a 3-5 year term depending on the extent of their role / responsibilities.
Of course the above mentioned requires constitutional reform.; January 12, 2014 at 10:47 AM

To make matters worse, I am still waiting for my pain eh pannier.

Christmas came and left. No Allen. No Santa. Not even his elves or his cherished “poodle” could be found. His was covered, by all indications, with a wedding gown and too wet to come out.

Where are the promised jobs, why is St.Jude's Hospital still a Ghost Building?
What if there was massive casualties at the Plane crash in V-F? why is the new hospital @ La Tac not operational as intended?
You keep your focus on an unelected man who can do nothing for you, and think you can fool us with your blind attack on him.
You got us into Grynsburg, now costing us millions to get out of the fix like Rochamel.
You gave us VAT and it's costing us millions, and all you do is to attack Allen who is no threat to the Country. I personally don't think the man stands a chance politically, but you seem to spend a lot of energy attacking him instead of finding jobs for the people. Even to the point of dredging up muck to drag him to court.
Your Communist skirt is showing, i.e. destroy the opposition and dictate under the guise of democracy. You've learned well from Putin, your friend Castro and the Chinese. St. Lucia is no place for Communism, and that's why you are attacking Allen so vigorously; will it work? are you doing it to mask your dire failures economically? say yes.
