The Governor-General was on Monday advised by the Leader of the Opposition the Hon Mark Brantley that a senator had been selected to fulfill the constitutional complement on the opposition bench in the National Assembly. In a show of collegiality that demonstrates that the members on the opposition benches put country above party or individuals the PAM was invited to recommend the Opposition Senator. Political Leader of the PAM...

The heavy hand of Labour’s victimization fell on Bishop Ron Collins just days after the conclusion of the electoral fraud of 25th January. I could not help but laugh as I remembered the campaign of misinformation mounted from the Labour platform during the campaign that sought to paint PAM as the party of victimization. We were told that every family was victimized under PAM which we must presume had to include the Simmonds family among others but that no one was ever victimized under Labour. That illusion was erased rather quickly when Bishop Collins made the mistake of thinking that in a free country governed by a constitution which guarantees freedom of expression he could speak his mind. The message that was sent by Dr. Douglas could not be clearer or more sinister, whoever tries to follow in the footsteps of Bishop Collins will suffer the same punishment. Now the “Security Chiefs” have joined in the campaign against Bishop Collins who was the chairman of the NGO Coalition that observed the general election. Again we hear hysterical calls for a retraction of the truth so that the fairytales that are being peddled by Dr. Douglas and his stooges can be legitimized. The army fatigues, M16 rifles and security force transport of voters from St. Pauls was in full view of hundreds of witnesses; but they think that after just four weeks that would all be forgotten.

This country has fallen into a very dangerous state. It is such that a person’s own mother will be standing in front of him or her, yet someone will be bold enough to tell that person it is not his/her mother. The syndrome of lies begins with Dr. Douglas and permeates every level of society. Sadly right is wrong and wrong is right. Too many Kittitians are making a strong effort to reverse the norm. Dr. Douglas and his lac...

The St. Kitts-Nevis Amateur Athletics Association (SKNAAA) is expecting an exciting and high energy level day of athletics at the Junior Championships and Carifta Trials, which would be held on March 6th at the Jubilee Athletic Stadium, Bird Rock. The Junior Championships, as opposed to recent years ...

Many years ago, it was common to hear a story of a man who held his book upside down because he could not read. This did not prevent him from pretending to read, so looking at a picture of an upside down ship in his book he ‘read’… “Wonderful days are coming to pass Ships are now sailing on their mast…” Like that illiterate man (and remember a Minister of Government has already called us ‘illiterate’) we are seeing our country turned upside down, and even while we view this weird happening and the ensuing disaster, some are still shouting “Wonderful days are coming to pass! We want more of the same!” We cannot help looking curiously and sadly at those people who blindly continue to hold their books upside down and tell us that Douglas is the best prime minister we ever had and we want more of the same. More murders; more debt; more fraud; more gerrymandering, more contempt of court, more lies, more corruption, more embarrassing comments, more foreign occupation, more expletives, more political polarization, more electoral fixing, more character assassinations,

In the aftermath of the vicious character assassination of Bishop Ron Dublin – Collins when he attempted out of Christian charity to put an end to the rancor that occurred when the full weight of the government was brought to bear against him for simply speaking the truth, Prime Minister Douglas went on the radio to declare “this aint done.” He likely felt that he had trapped Bishop Collins after he had retracted his statement in relation to the customs matter and that a retraction of the NGO coalition Election Observer Report was soon to be forthcoming. He was wrong about the NGO report but his campaign of terror continues and the St. Kitts Nevis Defense Force joined the fray on Monday 1st March. In a press release sent by the SKNDF but purportedly from the security forces the invisible hand of Prime Minister Douglas could clearly be seen in the point by point refutation of the most damning accusations made against the Prime Minister. The SKNDF and security forces claim that the military was not deployed in constituency #4 with assault rifles and bullet proof vests but photographic and video evidence prove otherwise. They claim that the Prime Minister was not disruptive but will have to prove such an incredulous claim in the court.
