For many who have to travel frequently by air doing the mandatory security check has become the most disliked part of the journey. Gone are the days when you dumped your carryon in a basket, empty your pockets of coin and whizzed through airport security to your onward destination. Occasionally at the sound of a beep the attendant would manually scan your person without bothering you to remove your shoes or belt. In the post 911 era travelling by air has gotten that much more difficult.

In December 2010 Minister of International Business and Transport, George Hutson alerted Barbadians that the Barbados government had acquired high tech scanning equipment at a cost of USD65,000.00.  It appears Barbados has not seen the need to go the way of body scanners, given the nature of air travel it is only a matter of time.

When one reflects on how the world has changed post-911, it boggles the mind that there is any trace of truth to reports circulating that the World Trade Centre disaster may have been averted.

Examining The Way Miracle-Hoping Religion Is Used As A Tool Of Slave Control

Submitted by Ras Jahaziel

 

SLAVE SERMONS FOR THE POOR AND THE OPPRESSED

One of the common techniques that slave sermons have always used is to put the slave in a mental stupor where he is constantly hoping for a miraculous solution to his every-day problem. The slave preachers know that the slave’s life is constantly beset by problems, but never is any attempt made to decode the mystery of continuing captivity, because to do so would incriminate the slave master. By all means the slave must be made to look elsewhere.

Owen Arthur’s Hubris: There Can Be No Barbados Without Me

 

Owen Arthur, Leader of the Opposition (l) Mia Mottley (r)

This anonymous contribution pre-empted BU’s blog on the subject of alleged financial infelicities which occurred under Mia Mottley’s stewardship as Leader of the Opposition, BU withholds our posting for the moment.

About ten days after running the most disastrous campaign ever ran by any leader of the BLP in St. John, a bitter Owen Arthur who was rejected even by BLP supporter, is seeking to do damage control but succeeds only in destroying Grantley Adams’s party even further. In short, Owen Arthur is a national embarrassment and disgrace, who is obsessed with his public approval rating!  Time was when BLP members and supporters trusted Owen Arthur and his judgment but it is clear that a lot has changed since 2008 and he only has himself to blame.

No one expected that he was capable of putting so many thousands intended as campaign contribution, into his personal bank account unknown to anyone in the BLP. There are also BLP people who stop you on the road daily to tell you that the taxpayers’ money was not Owen Arthur’s’ to help-out a friend,’ even if that friend was in a tight spot.

There are two things that are not in dispute.  One is that under Owen Arthur, the BLP is fast developing an image as a party, which is anti-women.  If Owen Arthur is giving you, that seems alright but if as a woman you can make it on your own, then you immediately become a target for his unprovoked and caustic attack.  Mia Mottley, Andrea Power and Mara Thompson are three of many examples.

The second thing which is not in dispute is that Owen Arthur is a tired, lonely and bitter old man who desperately wants power.  Because of his serious love of himself, he is cranky and terrified by the notion that there can be a Barbados or even a Barbados Labour Party, without him.  This is a man who made it clear to Barbadians that his sole aim in politics is to ensure that the DLP never becomes the government again.  His intention is to orchestrate a rescue mission of himself as having been called to save Barbados.

The very man who is said to have gone to Parliament less than six times between 2008 and October 2010 is now being reported in the Sunday Sun of January 30th 2011 as having said: “I don’t want to appear as though I am fighting with Miss Mottley…I am trying desperately to hold the Barbados Labour Party together.” Mind you, Owen Arthur is talking about a party that has been in existence for over 72 years and had giants within its ranks like Grantley Adams, Tom Adams, Henry Forde, Cheltenham, Louis Tull, Bree St. John, Mia Mottley and Billie Miller. Wasn’t the BLP united before Arthur and his ‘gang of five’ ousted Mia Mottley in October 2010, which started the fast free fall to mistrust and confusion?

The Conversion of Satan: “The Whole World Wondered After The Beast” – Apostate Christianity, Modern-day Spiritualism And The Alchemy Of The Poisonous Golden Chalice

Submitted by Terence Blackett

“And there came one of the [7] angels which had the [7] vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great Whore that sitteth upon many waters… the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornications… (Rev. 17:1, 4).

In an age of rationality (where hardly anything remain sacred), it is easy to see why conditions mirror the Era of Babel where man’s quantum efforts to build a world of their own choosing has resulted in CONFUSION, apathy and everyone a “god” on to himself. Hence the notions of no Absolute Truth; the spurious tale that says “all roads lead to Home” and the bewitching parody of lies which denies the existence of SATAN* and the prevalence of real diabolical EVIL.

“We may disguise poison by mingling it with wholesome food, but we do not change its nature. On the contrary it is rendered more dangerous, as it’s more likely to be taken unawares. It is one of Satan’s devices to combine with falsehood just enough truth to give it plausibility.”

Modern backslidden, apostate Christianity completely mirrors the pagan idolatry of the past. New age theology, modern-day spiritualism and a myriad of hybrid false doctrines have rushed into the modern church with the seismic force of a Tsunami making the common sacred, the unclean acceptable and lukewarm formalism religiously correct. Contemporary spiritualism now imitates nominal Christianity with relentless power to deceive and ensnare. According to the postmodern order of all things “religious”, “Satan himself has been converted” transformed in character to an angel of light working devilish miracles, ultimately causing even fire to come down from heaven with incredible signs and wonders. Deception is rife and has become an acceptable norm while God has been uprooted to be supplanted by the doctrines of men.

The blurring of the lines of “distinction between professed Christians and the ungodly is now hardly distinguishable”. The Church resembles the world; “church members love what the world loves and are ready to join them and Satan is ready to unite them into one body and thus strengthen his cause by sweeping all into the ranks of spiritualism” and a false sense of religious fervour – creating his long cherished ideal of global worship and the usurped sovereignty of planet earth.

So who is this “bloody” woman according to prophecy?

Proposed De-listing of Barbados Dairy Industries Limited

Submitted by Atrue Freeman

Sir Allan Fields

Sir Neville, thank you for your response of January 17, 2011, to my email of January 8, 2011.  Sir Allan C. Fields, Chairman of Barbados Dairy Industries Limited (BDIL), states in BDIL’s 2010 Annual Report that BDIL is expected to be de-listed during January 2011 (see below extract). I urge that a condition of the delisting be that the minority shareholders be offered a fair price, for their shares, of cash or shares in Banks Holdings Limited, which owns 83.74% of BDIL.

Extract from Chairman’s Report, 2010 Annual Report of Barbados Dairy Industries Limited:

During the year, our shareholders approved the Board’s recommendation to de-list our Company from trading on the Barbados Stock Exchange. This approval was obtained at an extra-ordinary shareholders meeting, held on the 27^th May 2010. This was communicated to the Barbados Stock Exchange who approved our request in November 2010 and forwarded their approval to the Securities Commission for ratification. We expect that BDIL will be removed from the list of Companies trading, during January 2011. Our decision to de-list was taken because our Company has not benefited from being listed as borne out by the very low volume of shares traded. When the cost associated with staying listed was taken into consideration, financially it makes sense to de-list. I assure our shareholders that we will continue to manage our Company in keeping with established corporate controls and practices.

Two contrasting stories, what is depicted in the video clearly illustrates what can be done with the right ‘will’. The story below shows why we need to find the right ‘will’, and fast!

The following article reveals the devastating and unprecedented impact that Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide is having on the health of our soil, plants, animals, and human population. Monsanto’s Roundup Triggers Over 40 Plant Diseases and Endangers Human and Animal Health. It is no secret Roundup is used with gay abandon in Barbados.

Caribbean Broadcasting Corporation MCTV Service Or Lack Thereof

The Caribbean Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) is often spared the wrath of BU. It is a media house which has been used as a political football by successive governments. The fact that  Chairman  Leroy Parris and Head of News Reudon Eversley are known political hacks support why it is an entity which is never taken seriously by some. How the CBC could have contrived to jettison the most popular cricket talk show in Barbados and possible the Caribbean Best & Mason remains a talking point around Barbados.  Cricket fans would have breathed a sigh of relief when Voice of Barbados (VoB) gave the show a leg up this week.

On the subject of cricket it remains ridiculous that CBC would take the decision to broadcast cricket featuring Barbados and the West Indies teams on a pay for view basis. Cricket is currently at its lowest ebb in the Caribbean with dwindling spectator support. How is it the management at CBC could fathom that to show cricket on a pay for view basis would be a viable undertaking? Would it not make sense to use the broadcast of first class cricket to spark interest among the young for developmental purposes? In this regard the CBC would not be entirely at fault.

BU family member Mr. Thompson also has a beef with the CBC:

UWI Debate

Submitted by Floyd Vincent

 

Sir Hilary Beckles Principal of UWI, Cave Hill

I have listened and watched the debate about access to university education with some interest over the past few weeks, especially after the announcements in the budget speech of November 22, 2010. I have a Bachelors and Masters degree for Cave Hill, fully funded by the tax payer and my degrees have provided me with many opportunities in life and I would like others to reap the same benefits.

According to my research, UWI Cave Hill has three main categories of students on entry to the university. Normal matriculation students who can be full time from the start of their degree and therefore can complete their degrees in three years or over six consecutive semesters. Lower level matriculation students who are required to be part-time for the first two years of their degree and therefore can complete their degrees in at least four years or over eight consecutive semesters. Advanced standing students (so called two plus two degrees) who are exempted from the majority of the first year of the degree (on the basis of CAPE, Associate Degrees or other qualifications), and therefore can complete their degree in four or five consecutive semesters.

The key elements of the higher education policy outlined in the budget seem to be that the government wants students to enter the university as preferably Advanced Standing students or if not, Normal Matriculation students, and for all students to complete their degrees in certain time limits. To inform myself on the issues I went up to campus and got my hands on a brochure, “Financial Information for Undergraduate and Graduate students 2008-2009” outlining the fee structure at UWI, Cave Hill. The following table summarizes the fee structure outlined in the brochure:
