‘Father of the Day’ And Best Friend Too

THE EDITOR:

It was with some misgiving tinged with a little relief, that I read the tribute to Michael Chastanet, father of new Prime Minister Allen Chastanet, promoting the former as father-of-the-day. I have known Earl since the early seventies and his father before him. Pilot Bousquet, had spent many years as Harbour Master in Castries, in which position he was well acquainted with Michael Chastanet who operated several wooden hull vessels at the time.

I was equally intrigued by the statement that Michael had defeated his best friend in the ultimate race to the top. Oh dear, thought I, who could that defeated best friend be? Could it be the one who had declared the last elections a war between that ‘best friend’ and his troops against the Chastanet clan? Never mind, it’s no longer relevant.

It would have been an excellent touch however, had Earl been invited to participate in the Fathers’ Day re-union with new and former Prime Ministers sharing Champagne with Michael as the journalist looked on wearing his best Afro garb and his priced National Journalist Medal loosely hanging around his proud neck.

Would it have made a difference had that letter been written by someone else? More to the point; will Earl use his considerable experience and personal knowledge of Michael Chastanet to promote his son Allen as deserving of the place to which the electorate has elevated him? What will his former boss think if Earl were to pivot 180 degrees promoting the new Prime Minister as part of his (Earl’s), journalistic journey? Over to you Rick.

  4. Pete , one more altruistic piece of advice as your future primary care psychiatrist;
    wean off your lackluster pretension as political writer….
    a hobo on a cross continental freight train ……is far more appealing…if not convincing.
    TRY a column on the art of MIXOLOGY…. ALCOHOL that is 🙂 🙂
    Your breadth and depth of experience is inexhaustible ….if not indispensable 🙂

    Michael Chastanet is one of the most Evil tyrants, that has set foot upon this island, a despot who raised his son Allen to hate the Black people of this island along with their Kweyol language and Culture. Surely this opinion of mine will stand in stark contrast to the derelict Negroes’ like Black Pete and Ezekiel Joseph who perceives this tyrant as Santa Claus, hence the character BLACK PETE.

    This Greedy White Supremacist, has brought much disgrace upon our country, as he openly advocated and encouraged the assassination of Black Lucian men in St. Lucia, with Stephenson King, a man motivated by his self-interest and self-preservation, and the Demonic sanguinary Pinochet Vernon Francois allowed the Killer Cops to murder our sons like animals with impunity.

    Because of the actions by these Evil men, St. Lucia is known internationally as a rogue state and ostracized by countries that aspire to uphold the sanctity of the human being. But because of despots like Ezekiel Joseph, now accused by Ms. Compton of violent sexual Assault, yet he is awarded high office by the Racist Allen and Michael Chastanet, so we have as our Government a cabal of lowlives who would do anything to oppress the Lucian population for their personal gain.

    Does Michael Chastanet think he will escape the consequences of the role he played in the murder of our young St. Lucians, while advocating their murder as he told us, “THAT’S WHAT THEY DO IN THE STATES AND ISRAEL, WE TAKE THEM OUT !”

    Most Lucians, who are brain-damaged from worshiping a Caucasian Male as their God and Savior, making them unable to see past the illusions of the wealth and sons of Michael Chastanet, so these ignorant folk have voted and placed a White Supremacist who sees them as Nigger Savages to rule over the lives of their Black Children, even as Michael Chastanet plans to replace our beautiful Pearlette Louisy as the Governor General with Tarzan Jane Mother of God, and reward Black Pete Josie for expressing his love for Caucasian women and his hatred for the African Queen – this is what happens from your worship of Dead Naked Caucasians as your God and Saviors.

    So we have prepared boiling water and Hell fire for these Criminal settlers who imposed this Satanic Religion upon your heads with the help of these perverted misogynistic homeless men in the Presbytery who spend their lives masturbating, watching porn, and practicing pedophilia.

    Surah Al-Muddaththir
    In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful.

    O thou enveloped in thy cloak, (1) 

    Arise and warn! (2) 

    Thy Lord magnify, (3) 

    Thy raiment purify, (4) 

    Pollution shun! (5) 

    And show not favour, seeking wordly gain! (6)

    For the sake of thy Lord, be patient! (7) 

    For when the trumpet shall sound, (8) 

    Surely that day will be a day of anguish, (9)

    Not of ease, for disbelievers. (10) 

    Leave Me (to deal) with him whom I created lonely, (11)

    And then bestowed upon him ample means, (12) 

    And sons abiding in his presence (13) 

    And made (life) smooth for him. (14) 

    Yet he desireth that I should give more. (15) 

    Nay! For lo! he hath been stubborn to Our revelations. (16) 

    On him I shall impose a fearful doom. (17) 

    For lo! he did consider; then he planned – (18) 

    (Self-)destroyed is he, how he planned! (19) 

    Again (self-)destroyed is he, how he planned! – (20) 

    Then looked he, (21) 

    Then frowned he and showed displeasure. (22)

    Then turned he away in pride (23)

    And said: This is naught else than magic from of old; (24) 

    This is naught else than speech of mortal man. (25) 

    Him shall I fling unto the burning. (26)

    Ah, what will convey unto thee what that burning is! – (27)

    It leaveth naught; it spareth naught (28)

    It shrivelleth the man. (29)

    Above it are nineteen. (30)

    We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and their number have We made to be a stumbling-block for those who disbelieve; that those to whom the Scripture hath been given may have certainty, and that believers may increase in faith; and that those to whom the Scripture hath been given and believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts there is disease, and disbelievers, may say: What meaneth Allah by this similitude? Thus Allah sendeth astray whom He will, and whom He will He guideth. None knoweth the hosts of thy Lord save Him. This is naught else than a Reminder unto mortals. (31) 

    Nay, by the Moon (32) 

    And the night when it withdraweth (33)

    And the dawn when it shineth forth, (34)

    Lo! this is one of the greatest (portents) (35) 

    As a warning unto men, (36) 

    Unto him of you who will advance or hang back. (37) 

    Every soul is a pledge for its own deeds; (38) 

    Save those who will stand on the right hand. (39) 

    In gardens they will ask one another (40) 

    Concerning the guilty: (41) 
    What hath brought you to this burning? (42) 

    They will answer: We were not of those who prayed (43) 

    Nor did we feed the wretched. (44)
     
    We used to wade (in vain dispute) with (all) waders, (45) 

    And we used to deny the Day of Judgment, (46) 

    Till the Inevitable came unto us. (47) 

    The mediation of no mediators will avail them then. (48) 

    Why now turn they away from the Admonishment, (49) 

    As they were frightened asses (50)
     
    Fleeing from a lion! (51) 

    Nay, but everyone of them desireth that he should be given open pages (from Allah). (52) 

    Nay, verily. They fear not the Hereafter. (53) 

    Nay, verily. Lo! this is an Admonishment. (54) 

    So whosoever will may heed. (55) 

    And they will not heed unless Allah willeth (it). He is the fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy. (56)
