It’s All Flashing Mirrors

Micah,

You presented quite a number of angles of perceptions, then arrived accurately at the deplorable selfish motivations of the victors and the vanquished in this UWP power struggle; tragic but so true as evidenced by the trampling over the dead bodies by the Ghouls who saw the Christmas day storm as an appropriate vehicle to obtain victory in the next general elections.

Like you said, “This rather unfortunate episode should serve as a wake-up call to ALL“ sober-minded Lucians.

Is Allen's UWP knocking on death's door?

The palace coup is complete, with the help of strong gravediggers. Oh, then where is Allen? He is nowhere to be found. Not for long, a source leaked. He is chilling out somewhere in Miami; he will some soon come back. I guess he is looking for the loads of money to pay for his promises. The convention staff, cheerleaders and delegates are not happy, still waiting for their money.

Listening to the news, only one lonely “poodle” is out there leading the charge. The other is the sour grapes chairman on my television screen without his make-up. Oh… will the new leader of the opposition (LOO), tom-girl, need a driver to make use of the jeep that she crucified Stephenson King for accepting from Kenny Anthony? “You know!” said a King supporter, insisting that I share the secret with her. She would not give up; only to drop another teaser on me: who will be the lucky one to escort LOO, tom-girl, at official functions! How is me, eh… you asking all these questions. I don’t know. Ask the village boys and girls.

Ah, ah… the real show in town was Stephenson King, on RealFM on Thursday morning. That was a real blockbuster, for real, people. In Creole, mind you. I only hope Allen can top that, wee mama! Did you listen to the show? I can’t wait for the Richard Frederick Show in the house of assembly (so he says), now that the bandits have taken down the King, mouth will open and story will jump out.

The hot soaps I want to know before the Richard Frederick Show is the Catherine Sealys Venezuelan connection. mi baga! No more moo-moo pills, its full disclosure from now on. United With Poison (UWP) and they shall become one in thine hand; high class hypocrisy has turned on the King. They promised and delivered a well executed plan for losing the 2011 general election. The whisky and champagne was flowing nonstop in Rodney Bay celebration with scorpions and leeches. I wonder for how long. There’s something called reverse osmosis. My three little birds tell me sit tight, it’s never over until the fat lady sings, and you know that eh no joke!

Now submission to the master, like the colonial days, is back in full force, I cannot wait to see the “LOO tom girl” submit to her UWP master Allen, and to Kenny in the House of Assembly. And, by the way, the United PAC and Women in Action (WIA) are under strict submission to leadership to stay away from Facebook and other social media, or else the whipping boy will spare no one. Yes, plantation rule is back again. PAC and WIA are annoyed, I am told. Hey, what can they do aside from Hollywood acting, right, as they painfully waiting the money! It is too late to jump ship. To do that is suicidal. The other way around is to continue the usual Friday fasting and praying.

Whooo, I am beginning to get hot flashes, now it’s time to cool off before I overheat. I am told as soon as the moo-moo pills run out, the bull dog will bite hard. The Richard Frederick Show will be on nationwide. After that, the ungrateful and sour grape losers from Allen's UWP will have to lick their wounds. They will find the going rough and may have to bury their heads in the sand.

If the population could be counted upon to first read the constitution (They leave that for the selfish and greedy empty-headed politicians to tell them what is in it. In the end, no one is any wiser for this.), then there would be a basis for fruitful discussion to move forward to personal and national growth and development.

Instead, all we get from the scheming foot-soldiers on the talk shows are regurgitated crap from their respective parties.

There is no one today, nor in the past has been able to outline a convincing and comprehensive plan to turn this country into a developed and independent nation. Not one past or present.

Kenny at his wits end has found a cute solution: Just say that we (in the CARICOM region) are all in this together and wait for a heads of government do-nothing meeting to clink glasses in grand recognition that "misery loves company". Nothing more. Nothing less.

Compton had one of his airhead ministers boasting the building of "fairty" schools, and went on to solve the employment and development issues of the growing reproductive age cohorts in the population by cleverly disguising his own stupidity, lack of foresight and leadership skills, by REDUCING the retirement age to make way for clearly untrained and inexperienced school-leavers (Genius!).

Today, the civil service (the expected repository of technical skills) is so depleted of talent, that current members could not even make a single technical argument in support of their wage increase claim to government.

This is the state of leadership in this country. All we are doing is recycling non-, and underachievers everywhere we can get them into government positions while reciting the empty party slogans. Concerns about skills, knowledge, abilities and a proven track record of transferrable achievement else are given short shrift. Mainly clearly selfish, power-hungry individuals of all hues, unemployed, under-employed and unemployable can be seen in bitter struggles, as they jostle to make quick-money, secure missed old-age pensions, and do-nothing ministerial and non-ministerial jobs. Plus ca change.

But there is no deep interest in Civics in the country.

Isn't sad that we have had to swallow and pinch our noses at having to even talk to rogue ministers of the UWP tiefing cabinet that makes you want to vomit?
