On patriotism & blind stupidity…

By: Mike Rudon Jr.

On Independence Day the Prime Minister was visibly upset as he listened to the address by the Leader of the Opposition. It seems that he was not comfortable listening to reality being read to him, since he prefers to reside in his own pimped-out little red bubble. It seems he got irritated that anybody would dare to invite reality into what should have been his show, governed by the niceties of protocol. In fact, Mr. Barrow made scathing reference to those who flaunted protocol during this time of patriotism to let him know that he is a dud…a missile with no propulsion system and no warhead who is doing a piss-poor job of running this country, 29 years after Independence.

I say there was no better time to make the leader of the nation aware of what has become of this once pristine jewel under his watch. There was no better time to remind Mr. Barrow that nearly three decades after the fight to glorious

FAREWELL TO EYANNIE

All across Belize City, office buildings and storefronts remained shuttered throughout the business day.  Albert Street, the commercial thoroughfare of Indian owned businesses, looked more like Sunday morning than a usually bustling Thursday.  With the exception of Romacs Plaza and the Brodies, who opened in spite of the call for a business shutdown, the Central Business District was quiet.  Even the food vendors in Central Park stayed away from their places of business in support of the Belizeans For Justice's call for a shutdown to protest the deadly murder spree of last Sunday that claimed six lives in a single

September Celebrations? Bah, Humbug…!

By: Mike Rudon Jr.

If old Ebenezer were still around today and living in this UDP-tainted charcoal caricature of the once shining and colorful jewel, he would be hollering Bah Hambug! at the top of his lungs. There is absolutely nothing to smile about today, nothing to celebrate, nothing to jump up and down in the streets and be happy about. Call me what you want and say what you will, but it is damned ridiculous to ignore what is happening in our nation just because Dean Barrow says we should jump up and down to a song which has done absolutely nothing to benefit anybody or alleviate any suffering or put food on anyone's table or save one youth from being gunned down. I listen to those people saying that we should celebrate because that is what we do in September and nothing else matters right about now. Well so sorry, but far too many of us don't even know what we're going to give our children to eat tonight and tomorrow and the day after that. You

Unity in Sight

Members of the People's United Party breathed a sigh of relief on Saturday last when word came out that delegates from across the country had reached a consensus.  For too long, members and supporters of the 'grand old party" have been kept in limbo, waiting and hoping for a sign that those at the top could work out their differences, bury their hatchets and get on with the task at hand.

The hard cold reality is that the United Democratic Party have been failing miserably at governance but with a splintered and unfocused opposition, they have been able to move from weak to weak with nary a dissenting bleat.  We have seen that we cannot rely upon a seemingly infiltrated, compensated and castrated media to hold this administration to task.

For the Sake of the People: Unite

By Marshall Nunez

This Tuesday night  the twenty three constituents came together in an effort to established unity within the PUP as we head into an announcement of the upcoming Party’s National  Convention.

What can be construed from the Patchakan Accord  seems to have created some calm especially around what would have been the factions between the party .  Some people at the Northern Caucus event  are ecstatic about this latest attempt at unification and yet, some people are a little uneasy even skeptical that it is for real then there is a small group who are sorry that the unity has taken place because they live for the division and excitement that is used to create.

For me I have always been an advocate of unity and so I am pleased to see that there is this level of unity within the party. Of course this is only the begging and we are quite away from the coming of next government but when we consider as a nation the what that the UDP
