In the language of “straight outta Compton”, “the man” is whoever’s in control of the system, and as such – since you’re ALWAYS oppressed by the system – you always “gotta stick it to the man”!! So, when your Eyewitness saw that Caricom – led by Chairman Mia Mottley – was so upset by Trump’s “America First” policy that they dashed off a letter demanding a meeting to discuss his reciprocal tariff imposition on our exports to the US of A, he wondered what was going on!! Are they thinking of sticking it to Trump??
Well, your Eyewitness got a bit of advice for our esteemed leaders: they better get their act together, and be prepared for the reaction!! They may think they’re the cock of the walk in their postcard-sized islands, but do they remember what Trump called them?? Shithole countries!! Look at how Trump responded to Zelenskiy – of white European Ukraine with 38 million people – who was fighting US’ mortal enemy Russia – and sacrificed hundreds of thousands of lives in that effort. All Zelenskiy did was to protest that he didn’t steal any of the funds that had been contributed by the US. This is Trump’s reply VERBATIM from his Truth Social platform – which he not so incidentally owns!!
“Think of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelensky, talked the United States of America into spending $350 billion dollars, to go into a War that couldn’t be won, that never had to start, but a war that he, without the US and “TRUMP”, will never be able to settle. The United States has spent $200 billion dollars more than Europe, and Europe’s money is guaranteed, while the US will get nothing back. Why Sleepy Joe Biden demand Equalization, in that this War is far more important for Europe than it is to us – We have a big, beautiful Ocean as separation.
“On top of this, Zelensky admits that half of the money we sent him is ‘MISSING”. He refuses to have elections, is very low in Ukrainian polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden “like a fiddle”. A Dictator without elections, Zelensky better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left. In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the War with Russia, something all admit only “TRUMP” and the Trump Administration, can do, Biden never tried, Europe has failed to bring Peace, and Zelensky probably wants to keep the gravy train going. I love Ukraine, but Zelensky has dome a terrible job, his country is shattered, and MILLIONS have unnecessarily died – And so it continues”!!!
Can you imagine what Trump would tell woke leftist Ralph Gonsalves of 133 sq-miles St Vincent and Maduro’s buddy??
…Big Money
Your Eyewitness took note that the Government just now passed legislation allowing “Foreign financial institutions” to set up offices” in our dear beloved Mudland!! Isn’t this like inviting the fox into the hen house?? Up to now, our financial sector – such as it is – has evolved to be just a step above the “box hand” or “sou-sou” of yore!! Do we even have an inkling of what these “foreign financial institutions” are engaged in??
Take our present building boom, that has to be underwritten by mortgages. Are we, for instance, gonna allow the variable-rate interest subprime mortgage scam that brought down the AMERICAN economy in 2008 – because the new securities issued bundled mortgages with all sorts of rating? And sold them as AAA?? Where’s the legislation to prevent this playing fast and loose?? And that’s only ONE example!!
Before we allow these sharks to swim among our sardines, we better bring our regulatory mechanisms beyond not even being able to have US$ in the system!!
…the Opposition
The Opposition just announced that if they don’t get “biometrics” in time for the elections, they’re gonna come out into the streets in protest!! Well, this might just show that the Opposition has no clothes on!!
