BVP (Truth for the Youth)… PREVENTING ‘TRAYVONS’ IN THE BVI

By Alred Frett

The Spin-off TV Documentaries resulting from the murder of Trayvon Martin give us a small Synopsis of daily Injustices & Inequalities to which Descendants of Slaves are subjected in Society… Such treatment makes it illogical to defend a Status Quo that calls us Free but treats us like Wards & Disciples of John Hawkins and Willie Lynch… This has been accepted as normal.

It is only because of Internet that Oppressors Secrets are no longer secret as Judiciaries & Law Makers across the World are beginning to realize their once hidden injustices are being exposed and in their scramble for Damage Control they are now putting lipstick on pigs… Even Congress was finally forced to pass Laws to stop themselves from open stealing through Insider Trading.

Here in the BVI, Senior Officers of the Court appear to be taking advantage of the System for their own personal gain even as we see our Sons & Daughters hit with Fines they can never afford or shipped off to Prison for fool-fool Slave Master Offenses… It would be unfortunate if Officers feel their Positions, Wigs & Robes give them justification for victimization of the Poor.

Such misbehavior is a long standing practice and those who believe that Imaginary Friends and Law & Order are more important than Caring, Sharing, Fairness & Justice should read or watch the classic 1960’s tale ‘To kill a Mocking Bird’… It is clear that Leaders & Society always knew wrong from right but choose to ignore Fairness & Justice as we saw done in Trayvon’s case.

Again, things are changing and Master’s Secrets are no longer secret… Today’s Children have the World in their Pocket with the Internet in their Hand… They are aware of Ancient History & Current Events where Dynasties tumbled & Nations crumbled as a result of Rulers’ Wickedness & Corruption… They know that it is Leaders who turn followers into victimizers of one another.

Commonsense says Youth will not tolerate Wickedness & Evil of those in Authority forever, so it is up to us to prevent Violence of frustration before Innocent suffers for Guilty… Politicians & Preachers should stop promising what they will not deliver; Lawyers should stop stealing their Clients’ Monies for failure to succeed and Courts stop wasting Lives of our Children in Prisons.

These initial steps are as necessary as Jesus telling the Rich Man to sell Possessions & give to the Poor but these no doubt will be just as ignored because Greed is too strong a force to care about Humanity… Oppressors have always planned that this Class Mentality would ensure our Trayvons never reach maturity as our Children populate Graveyards or languish & rot in Prisons.

Some feel they should have all… Just last year I spoke of Battling to stop a New Pharmacy Bill that would have placed our Health Care under full control of Non-BV-Islanders… You may recall I had to march & fight alone but we won and thought it was over but the Pushers are back.

Somehow they seem to think the new Government can be swayed into resurrecting Old Tricks.

Their Doctrines of ‘Might makes Right & Greed is Good’ are directly contra to my conviction that Health & Education must come first, especially with all the present threats to Medical Care for the Poor & Needy, locally & internationally… Viz: From the ignorance of Obeah Remedies in 3rd World Countries to the GOP’s attacks on Obama-Care in America’s Supreme Court.

At the same time it would be a huge mistake not to realize that what works for the US or UK may not work for us and it’s crucial that our Medical Services are tailored to suit our own Needs… We must avoid the ‘grab all’ copycatting of Draconian Laws and Ill-advised Models like National Health Insurance Schemes that can bring more Harm than Help to the BVI.

The proposed Pharmacy Act would be a disaster and for Sponsors of this to use threats & force to implement section of this nonexistent Law frighten Parents who now find their Children being blocked from obtaining necessary Medical Care… While it is possible that Government is quite unaware of such actions, they remain fully accountable for actions of Officers in their Ministries.

With so many of our People sick & dying, World Health Day’s theme of “Good Health adds life to years” is so serious that I will repeat a Real-life Story for general information & assessment:

‘Once upon a time there was a Poor Lady with her only Child; a little 7-years old girl who got Ill and was taken to local Doctors throughout the Territory but her condition only worsened …

As a last resort her Mother begged & borrowed in order to take her Overseas for Medical Care.

After what seemed an eternity she was able to travel and see a Doctor who diagnosed the Illness and issued prescriptions for medical tests and medication… However, the poor Mother could not afford the costs of overseas Medication so she brought the requests back to the Public Hospital within the Territory where they would be free or at least more affordable for Children.

On presenting these requests at the Hospital she was told Government had instructed that Medical Requests from outside the Territory should not be filled within the Territory unless someone within the Territory (who was likely ignorant of the situation or unable to treat the ailment in the 1st instance) would Okay what the overseas Physician had prescribed…

Furthermore, any Health Providers would be punished if they dared to break these Rules…

The Mother begged & beseeched, tried & cried but even Private Services were too afraid to help so the little girl went untreated and eventually died…

Perhaps you already reasoned whether Government is Right or Wrong but this goes much deeper when you know Friends & Families of Politicians & Officials who needed to seek Overseas Treatment and you cannot but wonder whether they will risk the lives of their Friends & Family by not allowing their Prescriptions to be filled or whether this madness is aimed just at the Poor.

Authorities already know that unless our People practice those things of which I speak they will continue fighting & killing one another in the name of Gods they claim have enough Powers to kill for themselves and Politicians who seek Powers to fool & steal for themselves… Until we act as if Slavery is truly over Devils will make Shackles for the Mind to ensure Slavery of Mankind.

Many Young & Innocent are already trapped by Snares of the Systems and while there is no Joy is trying to save a People from their own self-made Gallows we must steadfastly encourage our Youth to open their Eyes, rise up from their Knees and Rescue themselves… In the meanwhile I refuse to turn away any Child in need of Meical Care so, Massas, let your Victimization proceed.

    As for Trayvon, NBC News Appologised for doctoring the 911 tapes to make Zimmerman sound like a racist by manipulating the words. Also on the video of the police takon on the floor being beatening the handcuffed Zimmerman out of the patrol car the night of the incident was also doctored where they elimated the bloody gash on Zimmermans head. Another appology was given to the public. There was a lot corruption going on here. An African American witness saw Trayvon on top of Zimmerman beating his brains out. The news reported Zimmerman as a big 240 pound man (He actually weighs 160 + pounds) and he's 5'7" tall against Trayvons 6'3" 155 pounds. This was a political thing by Obama and Holder to start a race problem to get the people to to forget his failures at running the country.

      @Rodent You should listen to yourself. We really don't have to go far to find racists. NBC didn't edit the tape "to make Zimmerman sound racist" Only a racist would make that remark. Get over yourself. The kid was carrying a bag of skittles when he was followed by an suspicious looking white man with a gun. What was he supposed to do? I hope Trayvon got in some good blows on that bastard who should spend the rest of his natural life in jail. Strups man.

        @Strupps, NBC doctored the tapes and ABC retouched the phot of Zimmermans head. Both NBC and ABC made a public appology to Zimmerman and the public on all the US News programs. So to accuse me of making it up is pure nonsense. Also Zimmermans great grand father was African American and Zimmerman is also a Peruvian American which means he's also part native South American indian.
