Brother Simon I have forgiven them ......




Forgiveness is determined to be the act of pardoning a person for a mistake or wrongdoing. On the other hand a forgiver is someone who has a tendency to forgive offenses readily and easily. In general terms persons who have that tendency is not a captive of hatred, is not malicious and revenge is as far away from their personality as the North Pole is to the South Pole.

In a recent broadcast hosted by Pastor Stanford Simon, the Prime Minister was nudged to say that he has a forgiving soul. Well yes we, who could believe that. He went on to say that he has forgiven Hamlet Mark and Chester Humphrey of all persons.

Why did he need to forgive Hamlet? What did Hamlet do to engage his wrath, when he (Hamlet) was in the main man in NDC media center and reports suggest that he passed on sensitive information to the NNP and actually dissed a major PR effort to further expose Mitchell.  Actually he even boasts that he was always an NNP that is why his blog was a constant thorn in the side of the NDC while in office. Today his brain child “Caribupdate” can be described as the official voice of the NNP. But then would you want to give the impression that a person who has done your bidding in such a manner did actually harm you. Nonsense.

The case of Humphrey is even more laughable. For more than decade the constant barrage and criticism of Mitchell and the NNP by this goodly gentleman .may have caused some headaches for Dr. Mitchell. Did Humphrey peddle lies? Grenadians by and large do not think so. So is it that the Prime Minister saw the need to forgive Humphrey for speaking the truth. La Baye people will hardly believe that Humphrey will actually go and ask Dr. Mitchell for forgiveness. So what all this grand charge is about? It is all about trying to put a new coat of paint on an old rotted vehicle.

The extent of revenge that has accumulated in the nearly five years in opposition can fill Grand Etang lake and more. Look at the treatment of the Commissioner of Police, .the gross disrespect meted out to Sir Carlyle Glean, his constant efforts to smear the good name of Bro Nazim Burke, the arrogance in the treatment of public servants who he perceive are supporters of the NDC.

My friends, forgiveness is readily available for all those persons who were affiliated to the NDC and went all out to ensure that the party was voted out of office. I guess that if a common enemy is shared then forgiveness and friendship are natural outputs The NDC expellees have been forgiven one may conclude, but it is left to be seen if this unholy alliance can stand the test of time.

For all those that want to remake the image of Keith Claudius Mitchell, it is easier to flatten Market Hill than to achieve that. Indeed the politics of hate and spite will find ready comfort in the NNP than in the NDC

OPEN LETTER TO MR HAMLET MARK.

Open Letter To Mr Hamlet Mark ‘Too little too late, your pen is stalling’ Dear sir I have been following your blog Notes From All Around and Caribupdate News Service for long time. I think that you are a very skilful writer who has a very good idea of the political happenings in Grenada, but lately I have realized that your poetic pen is stalling. Your blog and news agency has gone into semi-hibernation. I must repeat that your blogs were well written and they had a very magnetic effect on thousands of readers. As a result of this Notes From All Around and Caribupdate News became the talk of the town. People listen to your tunes religiously. You became the Grenadian ‘Pied Piper’. During that time the National Democratic Congress was in office. You spared no effort in crafting half truths, fairy tales and twists all in an effort to create mistrust in the masses and chaos in government and by extension the nation. You continuously speared the NDC heart with you...

The Prime Minister of Chaos

Image
When the NNP published a poster titled ”Jonah  is back” just before the 2013 elections campaign, even Dr. Mitchell himself never catered for 15- nil. Contrast that with 1999 when the NNP bellowed “not a damn seat for them” egged on by Joan Webley.  From then on the door to chaos was flung wide open. Dr. Mitchell was hard pressed to “allocate” Tobias Clement, Yolande Bain- Horsford and Clifton Paul. True to form, the Prime Minister broke all protocol and instructed that all MPs must get ministerial salaries. I guess that back bench is good for England but not for Grenada. The traditional NNP front bench came back in full force. Bowen, Bhola, Modeste – Curwen and Nimrod. The new kids on the block were given much of the limelight to the annoyance of the traditionals. The emergence of Delma Thomas as a significant minister left the nation shaking his head at what appeared to be cheap theatre. Many citizens could only muster a laugh when in fact tears for Grenada would have be...

VICTIMIZATION AT ITS BEST

St. George –  According to Labour Representative in the Senate, Ray Roberts, dozens of very ordinary workers c annot celebrate the new Government's one hundred days in office. Addressing a meeting of the Upper House, Senator Roberts read excerpts from dismissal letters signed by Permanent Secretaries and sent to more than 50 workers making less than one thousand dollars per month, informing them that their services have been terminated. However, Senator Roberts congratulated the Government backbenchers who he said, can all celebrate because they are all receiving Ministers salaries of more than $6,000.00 although they didn't have ministerial responsibility in our crisis economy. Senator Roberts said that when there is a change of Government, we expect the Chief of Staff and the 'big boys' to exit their jobs - that is accepted.   H owever, what the Government is now demonstrating, according to the Labour Representative, is the termination of the employment of some of...
