Why Should We Shut Up?

By Alexis B. Montgomery

IT is interesting that certain segments of the society seem so very eager to have the nation shut up or take a vow of silence on the performance of the recently voted out Dr. Kenny D. Anthony Labour Administration.

This is a rather premature and highly illogical expectation that is being espoused by some SLP sympathizers. The electorate is still appraising the performance of the former leader and his cabinet which left behind many unexplained and unresolved concerns that this incoming Allen Chastanet UWP administration has not only inherited, but now has a mandate to address and resolve in the best interest of the country.

The majority of Saint Lucians feel left in the dark about the many goings–on that relate to the record of the past government, some activities extending well beyond local shores. The public is now anticipating that the layers of secrecy will be peeled back by Allen Chastanet and his Cabinet, so that the public can finally judge just what Dr. Anthony was really up to during his reign as leader of this country. This is not to say that the revelations shall necessarily turn out to be negative or controversial; but there are certainly areas that were deliberately avoided or kept opaque by the past Labour administration including the unclear reasons for the early retirement of former Commissioner of Police Vernon Francois “in the interest of the public”. The public loved the Commissioner so the reason for his premature retirement cannot have much to do with the public’s interest.

Voters were feeling disadvantaged over the past four and a half years and wounds are still in the early stages of healing. Why should the people be told to shut up? Why should the media or Talk Show hosts train their attention solely on the new administration, even as the co–relation between the past and present is clear?

The nation is still being confronted by consequences of Labour’s failed policies and other controversial links to unsavory dealings in matters such as Grynberg, Frenwell, Jufali, Lambirds, Impacs, and the justice system to name a few.

The new government is still settling down, but the nation knows they will have to deal with the unfortunate consequences of the actions and policy decisions of the past government. Practically every aspect of governance of the SLP administration of 2011 to 2016 is still there confronting the country. So why the hasty desire to mute all mention of the main protagonists? Aren’t they the ones to be held responsible, be it good or bad, for the position of the country today?

As a matter of fact, currently the electorate is awaiting profound revelations and disclosures from this new administration on the economic status of the country, which by the way is perceived to have been under impeccable management. It is the people’s right to judge the record of their governments.

The electorate is and will be talking about Dr. Kenny Anthony’s stewardship for a long time to come, his strengths and weaknesses as a leader and his curiously low profile now. Even though he is stepping down as Leader of the Opposition or Party Leader he remains a major talking point for citizens. By the way, if memory serves us well; the Labour administration did not for once allow the former opposition to ever forget about the issues that they considered to be failures of the UWP. Labour’s campaign for Elections 2016 was undeniable proof of that.

    Alexis Montgomery, a pathetic Negro with his Slave identity, and like the disgraceful Negro black Pete Josie, and John Wayne, your dream of the “white woman is now reality. You self-hating Negroes are a sick people, teaching your children that a white man named Jesus is their God nd Master, and so the nincompoop Allen Chastanet Tarzan’s Boy and Jane will teach you Negroes how to cook breadfruit and green ‘figs’.

    You ignorant savages are perhaps the most disgraceful lots of Black people on the planet Earth today. Out of the hundred thousands of black people the only person deserving to lead and govern you bunch of Samboes is an idiot, and Tarzan-like retarded dyslexic fraudster named Allen Chastanet, whose Caucasian parents taught him to hate you negro savages and your culture, and is a Moo Moo, unable to communicate with fifth percent of the Lucian people.

    You, having said an infinite deal of nothingness in this opinion piece, your reasoning were like two grains of sand lost in Choc Cemetery, but even worse was your deception, referencing the Report on the murders and assassinations committed by the the same scoundrels and reprobates who you now glorify as the saviour of the Lucian people.

    Let me remind your dumb and disgraceful self, that the crime is not IMPACS, but the crimes are THE MURDERS COMMITTED UNDER THE SAME UWP GOVERNMENT that you sold your people to for a piece of silver or was it a Sea Urchin’s Shell. Pinochet Vernon Francois whose willful blindness to the heinous murders and the planting of evidence upon the cadavers of the victims of Francois’ Assassination Thugs, deserves nothing less than unequivocal condemnation.

    These murders committed under the direction of Tarzan Michael Chastanet and his bolom Stephenson King, Vernon Pinochet Francois, are the real crimes against the Lucian people and the Murderers’ heads should be swinging from the Gallows, instead you worthless lowlives have become accomplices to murder, in an effort to gain favor with this criminal Chastanets for a worldly gain.

    –Surah Ibrahim

    Mighty indeed were the plots which they made, but their plots were (well) within the sight of Allah, even though they were such as to shake the hills! (46)

    Never think that Allah would fail His messengers in His promise: for Allah is Exalted in power― the Lord of Retribution. (47)

    One day the Earth will be changed to a different Earth, and so will be the Heavens, and (men) will be marshalled forth, before Allah the One, the Irresistible; (48)

    And thou wilt see the Sinners that day bound together in fetters― (49)

    Their garments of liquid pitch, and their faces covered with Fire; (50)

    That Allah may repay each soul what it hath earned.; and verily Allah is Swift in calling account.
    (51)

    Here is a Message for mankind: let them take warning therefrom, and let them know that He is (no other than) One God: let men of understanding take heed. (52)
