SAINT LUCIAN POLICE CONFISCATE NTN VIDEOS:

United PAC have been reliably informed that the National Television Network (N.T.N), the state owned network was intercepted by police and was made to hand over a tape which we believed to have footage of the Harold Dalson saga in Soufriere. Though it is not clear whether the confiscation was ordered by the government hierarchy, the situation is cause for concern as signs of communism are creeping stealthily into our way of life. At this end, we implore the Media Association if there is such an entity, to look into this matter as it sets a dangerous precedent in Saint Lucia. We have also been informed that other copies of the footage are available and will be made public next week, however, this incident of the police confiscation cannot be let to go unnoticed.

Debunking The Labor Propagandist Theory That Those With Economic Power Should Not Have Political Power - By Dane Gibson

  

The latest desperate effort by the minion operatives of the St Lucia Labor Party is to plant fear amongst the masses with this idea that, Allen Chastanet being viewed as being part of an establishment, of a relatively fixed group of privileged people that dominate the St Lucian economy could only be detrimental for St Lucia and St Lucians if they were to be allowed to contribute in Government of St Lucia… Of late terms like "Class", "power" and “bourgeoisie” are terms that suddenly make St Lucians uneasy in social media, and concepts such as "power elite" immediately put people on guard. Do these, like Papa Vader put it “Sections” exist? Of course they do … But the beauty of it all MY FELLOW ST LUCIANS is this Dichotomy in our Democracy has also co-existed and continue to without much ado….But desperate times in the labor camp have led to desperate measures and I suspect it is only to mask numerous failing initiatives and lack of vision by this Gov’t, so the they seek to divide to conquer….Typical.

The fact of the matter is MY FELLOW ST. LUCIANS while we may differ in our social and income levels, and some may have more influence than others, there can be no fixed power group when power is constitutionally lodged the hands of PEOPLE, especially when there is democratic participation through elections and when the evidence of social mobility is everywhere apparent. Our Prime Minister himself is a perfect example having come from humble means working his way to lifestyle of comfort. Anther fact is with that elected officials, along with interest groups like our ever present unions and YOU as consumers, together have enough countervailing power to say that there is a more open, pluralistic distribution of power rather than one with rich people and corporations at the top. Perhaps Dr. Tennyson Joseph labor’s esteemed well degreed political scientist and intellect can come true and shed some light on the matter. I’m sure this would make for a more interesting debate

This latest incident comes on the heels of earlier reports of US visa revocations of senior members of the force and a former government minister.

According to local sources, the situation has reached the point where decisive action must be taken on matters concerning money laundering, drug trafficking and extrajudicial killings.

“This series of events is not only embarrassing for Saint Lucia and the status of the island’s law and order, it is a matter that requires further explanation by Prime Minister Kenny Anthony and Senator Philip Victor La Corbiniere Minister for Legal Affairs, Home Affair and National Security,” one local observer said.

Venezuela to increase interest on PetroCaribe payments

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Starting in October, the Venezuelan government will increase the interest rate it charges to finance oil purchases by Central American and Caribbean countries that participate in PetroCaribe agreements a source with the Venezuela state-owned oil company said on Monday.

According to Guyana-based Kaiteur News the source, who spoke anonymously, said the increase was the result of higher administrative and maintenance costs of the loans.

Since Petrocaribe was created in June 2005, 17 member countries have enjoyed an annual interest rate between 1 per cent and 2 per cent. Beginning in October repayments will be increased to 2 per cent to 4 per cent, the source said.
