The Parliamentary Majority Needs To Act

Over time we of this newspaper have been repeatedly warning the people of St. Kitts and Nevis about the grave danger which our country faces because of the carryings-on by members of the SCHEME UNITY government. We wish to assure you that we do so, not because we wish to be repetitious, but because we have major concerns for all of our people, and what lies in store for us should we sit back and allow those in office to continue merrily and recklessly along their current path.

We have reminded you of the fact that a certain individual, while in opposition, managed to penetrate the confidentiality of Social Security and has been for many years in possession of ‘private’ information concerning a large number of persons, information which that individual uses to harass the listed persons.

To date, and apart from our writings, there has not been even one expression of concern by those who purportedly support the government.

It is also the case that the particulars and very private information of the thousands of persons on the government payroll, politicians, civil servants, police officers, and many others, are now in the possession of that same creature and, by extension, his family, relatives and thugs.

No one is safe from the individual, and large numbers of our people are scared out of their minds. They have every right to be.

It is all part of the horrific ‘game-plan’ crafted and put into effect to rule the country through fear, by the process of intimidation, blackmail, and open threats on people’s lives. No one is safe, not even those who are supposed to be in ‘unity’ with the individual.
What this means, dear people of St. Kitts and Nevis, is that we are now living in a nation state under the rule of tyranny.

Forget about all of the grand speeches, the grandstanding in parliament and elsewhere, forget about the so-called town hall meetings, all of the noise making, the arranged ‘questions’, and the positioning of the thugs assigned to quickly close down any objective and serious questioning of SCHEME UNITY. It is all a big ‘show’, a charade.

The reality is that, effectively, democracy in St Kitts and Nevis is a dead entity, seemingly a thing of the past.

We, the people, need to ask ourselves ‘just how did we get to where we are now?’ How is it possible that we could have become so careless and ended up throwing away a good thing?
Many would submit that we did so with our eyes wide open, but was that really the case? The more likely reality is that far too many of us became careless and complacent.

Also, several who were in key positions, became so caught up with their self-serving activities that they had no time for anything or anyone else but themselves and their doings.

How else could it have been possible for a single individual to, over a period of many years, go about corrupting and compromising persons inside and outside of the party, doing the same to civil servants, police officers, officers of the court, persons who worked in the electoral office, in crown corporations, in banks, in private business houses, to the self-employed, and even many of those who profess to be servants of God?

How was it possible for that single individual to traverse the length and breadth of the country recklessly cultivating corruption in every nook and cranny of the land? How? Just how was that possible?

We also need to ask ‘how is it that so many continue to believe in the perpetrator of all those horrors. Is it that they cannot see or hear, will not see or hear, or are just afraid to see or hear?

Those who allowed themselves to be corrupted and compromised need to reflect on the treatment meted out to them once they had served their ‘useful’ purposes. They should not be afraid to search themselves and acknowledge that they were used and then discarded, often times to be used again when needed, then discarded again, in some very heartless and shameful ways.

But, even so, they are always afraid to speak out because they allowed themselves to become ensnared, complicit and compromised. Being guilty of doing what they cannot afford to have others know about them, they find themselves constrained to remain silent.
That, dear people, is the way in which demons operate. They first seduce you, then they ensnare you, but you become terrified of ever letting others know about the terrible things which they trapped you into doing.
The only way to ever avoid them is t

o never allow yourselves to become involved with their trickery. It is a very slippery slope, and once you have placed a foot on that slope you will never ever be able to ‘stand up straight’ again.

Don’t ever begin, for once you start you will never be able to resist.

The reality which we are now facing, dear people, is the fact that our country is now under the control of a great and monstrous evil.

While that creature remains in a position of power it will keep on dragging us further and further down the road to perdition.

The question is: “How do we go about taking back our country from it?”

For those of us now in opposition, we need to maintain the pace of our preparations, and be ready to step them up at short notice.

But the fragility of the existing arrangement must also be a cause for worry. A sudden collapse would have disastrous and long lasting consequences for our economy and our country.

That can and ought to be avoided, but the only way would be for the majority party in parliament to disassociate itself from the cause of our nation’s current horrors.
Action is needed, and right now.

Any failure to act promptly by the majority party will only serve to perpetuate the nation’s undemocratic and economically perilous state, and any such failure to act on their part will be to their long lasting disgrace and political condemnation.
