Oui mamma! Crapaud open he mout and story jump out.
Letters relating to the UWP have had some very disturbing patterns of late. But Kenny did the right thing. Give the man his props. That one was done deftly. Wow!
Yet, Kenny once and for all diffused a potentially nasty political situation if the UWPs and not SLP had dared to situate that statue in that place in Castries at some later date. What a timely piece of chess.
That statue remains ground zero for bird dung which may have to be cleaned all the time at tax payers' expense. It is not as easily reversible a decision like another John Compton this or that place name.
But Kenny has courage. Better said, it displays very High Mac strategy in the making. What a stroke!
You are a sorry excuse for a human being - too freeeking divisive; you are!!
UWPs don't feel sorry for yourselves. You are the ones, without a moral compass knowingly and wilfully voted into office crooks, sleaze balls, scumbags, slime balls, and liars thus thoroughly disrespecting the august institution called our parliament.
The chickens are coming home to roost?
The power grab by this foreigner like a dog in a manger, remains an insult to all with a nationalistic mind. Say what you will. Such a statue would never have been erected in Jamaica or by Jamaicans. To true-blood born and bred Saint Lucians, it will forever commemorate, each February and every February, a disgusting insult and an unforgivable UWP humiliation!
History is not on your side on that one UWPs. Let the fate of the statues of Saddam Hosein in Iraq, and those of Lenin in the Ukraine be your guide. May be not in our lifetime, but it will come down.
Let bygones be bygones. Like the PM said let us cross party lines for the benefit of St. Lucia. RED added to Yellow equals orange. Let's go orange yall.

If this miscreant Compton, had been sodomizing your little daughters, what would be your price to "let bygones be bygones"? or what would be your price to, "let the dead pass; bury the dead"? or, can we learn to be better at Raping Children?
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again
----
These little girls will take heart again? that the next man who screwed them will be canonized by the great cabal of geriatric homosexuals at Vatican City, Saint Lucia?

I continue to stand by my conviction, that the practice of the Religion of White Supremacy inhibits, and paralyzes the ability of its adherents to think and process information logically. The concept that God, who is the Owner of Life and Death, and all the Galaxies in Creation, HAD/COMPELLED to become a man to die and pay the Devil for mankind, short-circuits the mind of the minions of White Supremacy.
What other explanations can one attribute to the statements of this Catholic Priest, a Black Sambo House Nigger, instructing Lucians not expose the names of pedophiles who rape your little sons and daughters? How can any of you emasculated excuses for men continue to pray to a naked White man? Eat his flesh? Drink his blood? While the hose nigger asks you, “What good would it do to expose the bullers of your sons and daughters?”
Here in the words of you'll father. PROTECT THE PEADOPHILE, AND HAVE COMPASSION ON HIM.

Yet you have the gall to parade anyone of those POS on your political platforms as a representative? Representing what? Representing whom? Is it that the election machine at the constituency level is made up of abominable sickos? UWP reprobates and too large a part of this country's population are just sick, sick, sick! You expect to form another government trailing those POS?
I must say sometimes my fellow St.Lucians baffle me.
Saint Lucians take too much for granted. That is why any idiot about the streets feels that it has the right to be a minister and a PM. That is why also the UWP riff-raff got into parliament and were stealing from government every each way possible.
The UWPs in this country have revealed their true nature. They are all crooks. They rewarded one of their crooks quite mightily. Now he can shoot his shate with impunity. Bastards!
KENNY WHAT DID YOU HAVE TO DO WITH FREDERICK'S VISA REVOCATION?? TIME TO START TALKING!
'Perfect political crime' in St Lucia could mean US criminal charges
Published on March 1, 2014 Email To Friend Print Version
By Caribbean News Now contributor
WASHINGTON, USA -- What was described as “the perfect political crime” in a civil complaint filed on Tuesday in US District Court in Washington, DC, by attorneys acting for former Saint Lucia housing minister Richard Frederick is likely to become the subject of a criminal investigation in the US.

Richard Frederick
According to informed sources in Washington, a criminal report may have already been made in the matter to the Justice Department, which was not, however, prepared to comment on the case.
“As a matter of policy, we generally neither confirm nor deny whether a matter is under investigation,” said Peter Carr, public affairs specialist at the Department of Justice.
In the meantime, in a surprise turn of events, Janice Jacobs, Assistant Secretary for Consular Affairs, was reported to have resigned abruptly on Friday morning.
It is not certain at this time whether or not Jacobs had any oversight responsibility for the State Department employees named as defendants in the Frederick law suit filed on Tuesday or whether her resignation is connected in any way to the Frederick law suit.
While saying earlier in the week that they do not “comment on cases that are pending litigation,” the State Department has not so far responded to a follow up request for comment on Jacobs’ resignation
The civil complaint filed on Tuesday contains details of an alleged conspiracy between George Deterville and other unnamed co-conspirators within the St Lucia Labour Party (SLP), and certain named and unnamed US State Department employees to violate US law, namely, the willful neglect or omission by any consular officer to perform seasonably any duty imposed upon him or her by law, or by any order or instruction made or given in pursuance of law, or any willful malfeasance or abuse of power, or of any corrupt conduct in his or her office.
In particular, the complaint alleges that Deterville, a former police superintendent, who presently works in Prime Minister Kenny Anthony’s office, and is described as “an SLP operative who conspired to have Frederick’s visas revoked”, was involved in an improper personal relationship with another defendant Susan Chainer, a former United States Embassy official, who had worked in the Bridgetown Embassy, where she is said to maintain contacts and influence.
Chainer, at Deterville’s urging, allegedly conspired with US embassy officials to create a false and improper basis for revoking Frederick’s visas, and then to revoke those visas to cause political embarrassment to Frederick for the political gain of the SLP and Deterville.
Since the complaint was filed on Tuesday, additional evidence has reportedly come to light that may indicate an ongoing criminal conspiracy to obstruct justice between SLP operatives and one or more of the State Department employees named in the civil complaint.
Neither the Saint Lucia government nor the SLP have responded to a request for comment on the allegations.
Further, Frederick’s own party, the opposition United Workers Party (UWP) is also blamed in the complaint for conspiring against him.
Immediately after the December 2006 election, then Prime Minister Sir John Compton, who “perceive[d] Frederick as a threat to his control” assured US embassy personnel that he had “taken steps to ensure Frederick would never take a leadership role in the UWP.”
Frederick’s political enemies -- including Compton’s daughter, Jeannine Compton of the UWP, and others -- continued to contact the Bridgetown Embassy through emissaries and personally, seeking information to harm Frederick politically and offering false statements about him.
/
Frederick’s visa revocations should have been confidential, but the news was publicised in the Saint Lucia media by Jeannine Compton, who stated on local television in September 2011, “The United States has obviously made a decision, and it is a matter of concern... because as a minister of government, you are to go to the United States or to go to other countries to represent Saint Lucia, and if you are not entitled to do this, how best are you going to represent Saint Lucia? And there must have been something grave to have your diplomatic visa revoked.”
It is not known at this time if current political leader of the UWP Allen Chastanet, previously described separately by US officials as “a long-time contact of the Embassy”, was involved in the UWP campaign against Frederick.
Again, a request for comment on the matter sent to the UWP earlier this week thus far remains unanswered.

Timothy Poleon
However, local broadcaster Timothy Poleon weighed in on the issue this week.
“In the aftermath of that particular incident and particularly in the run-up to the 2011 general election airwaves were buzzing with a lot of talk about this and certainly it had a lot of implications not only for the individual at the centre of the matter but also for Saint Lucia as well in terms of the nation’s reputation. We were not talking about the revocation of an ordinary individual’s visa; we were talking about a government minister,” Poleon said on local radio.
He pointed out that, in a case where such an action has been taken against a key political figure, in this case against a government minister, the US authorities should be providing at least the government of the day with an explanation and clarification as to why the action was taken.
Somebody had better improve on his or her ESL, English as a second language. If fear mongering captures some kind of activity, then it requires transmission of sound or movement or action that is mechanical or verbal. Duh!!!!!!!!!!! UWP, still the party of idiots, for idiots and by idiots.
Jackass if spreading fear is a behaviour that means action and not inaction. What? A another UWP jackass out there braying for his supper? Good Lord!
What is the purpose of this article? In my estimation, it is to continue to divide. You talk about SLP being divisive but in the same breath, you are doing the same. But, I do understand. It is politics! That's exactly what it's supposed to do . . . have people choose sides.
J4:23 AM, that is just another moron and political yardfowl singing for his supper. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Nothing else can be expected from our garden type variety of learned jackasses and idiots walking our streets and sitting in our high places.
That writer must be just another one of our jackass old and aging political hacks. All of these fools have to die and rot first before St. Lucia gets better.
Was Anthony just a good test taker, or did he plagiarized his way to Phd status?. The man has such a petty mentality.
As a potential and eventual UWI paymaster, after G. HOODLUM had made him a minister, who correcting his work would dare to give him anything less than an A for his assessments? How many times has his work been cited by his peers all over the world would be testimony of his extraordinary gift to Saint Lucians that of being a deity. Do we have this?
Here are some renowned St.Lucians who didn't stay on the rock to practice petty politics: Patterson,jurist Alexander,Roy Augier,Walcotts,Garth St.Omer,Winston Parris...and the list goes on!
There are some Saint Lucians who stay on the rock in order to practice petty politics. Only foolish party hacks and constituency branch idiots see any value in voting for them. They cannot create their own jobs and nobody else but these party yard-fowls will vote to give them that do-nothing but shoot shayte political job.
Kenny is oh so mythical. He raised a statue in honour of the god of Perfidy.
Great leader this one. He is driving the country supposedly forward but with eyes fixed in the rearview mirror of the last 35 years. Political bankruptcy has never ever been so vividly captured in this land of barren ideas.
Ralph, another lawyer is being asked by a prominent Dominican businessman to quit the leadership of LIAT because Ralph does not see how LIAT will ever turn a profit.
UWP promoting members of the Ali Baba Cabinet gang. The mandarins in the OECS giving historical reports on business failures in the first half of last year as economic news, someone said. The OECS countries are a mess.
It is beyond me how we in St.Lucia want to better ourselves but we cant seem to move on. We are stuck in time. Lots to be done than rehashing old news. As for this Party and that Party we need to move beyond this.
Indeed. What a bloody mess. Yet some want us to accept this as normal? As good enough to continue with going forward? You blasted dolt!
