Watching & waiting for the end of trump’s corruption

Alred C. Frett

Accepting Reality in the New Year:

Best Wishes and Happy New Year! 2021 has arrived… Last year was a rough year for everyone except those steeped in Trumpism so, if this year’s sayings sound familiar and repetitious, it’s only because they are based on Reality and necessary for the Future of our Youth… It is unfortunate that, the past 4 years have seen us constantly brutalised into accepting the lies of Leaders over the evidence of Truth.

A new year for another chance to build back better

Will Someone Please Explain What Happens Next?

We ask what will Tomorrow bring only to find that no one has the answer and the best we can do, is prepare as best we can, knowing all we have in common is Time – Our Fears and Dreams may differ but your Second is my Second and your Decade is my Decade so, whether we are here or not, this year shall pass and whether we are there or not, the next year shall come.

Open Borders & the Question of Corruption:

In the real world, Form follows Function and Education is the Key to Survival… Nonetheless, our Forefather’s only Degrees came from the Thermometer and yet they were able to save our Country and secure our Futures – Whereas, Today we have endless Degrees and Masters and Doctorates and yet our Children are worse off than their Parents - Maybe we chose Paper over Substance.

COVID-19, the virus that tanked Thanksgiving

Alred C. Frett

And so, it Came to Pass:

Previous Articles and Broadcasts have been so accurate that the points will last well into the 2nd quarter of next year: Donald J. Trump lost the Election by an Electoral Landslide; 306-232; The Roundabout Barrels and Strings have been removed so Traffic may flow better; Post-Colonial Police Officers Misdeeds surfaced in the Virgin Islands and our Open Borders Uncertainties remain in a constant state of flux.

COVID-19 teaches us to look, listen & learn or lose

Alred C. Frett

Learning is unlimited, Trusting Enemies is bad & Money does not circulate:

Many would prod us into being quiet and depending on Prayers and Miracles for our rescue – Maybe they never bothered to research our History and are interested in repeating a dark history rather than create a brighter one… Fact is, we always fail when not participating in our own redemption and Judases like Thomas, Walker and Carson have made us easier to fool and rule.

Freedom – Emancipation - Celebrations & Cancellations

Alred C. Frett

The Truth may not set us Free but it’s all we can depend on:

Thanks for listening but my message is neither tailored to please nor displease Politicians or the Rich and Powerful whose Bread is already buttered on both sides – I simply seek to bring those in need and fading Dreams a Message of Truth, Hope and Enlightenment… If the contents are wrong then please correct me but if you find it right then make it your obligation to spread the Word.

The question of making COVID-19 an excuse for abuse

Alred C. Frett

Making Right wrong or Scapegoating Uncle Tom:

Sincere thanks and empathy to all those persons and businesses who are helping others even as they struggle and suffer through this Covid-19 pandemic and other disasters… We remain in this together and should be concerned about a potentially bad hurricane season so all I am doing is using our past, present and future to deal with issues with the hope of avoiding dangers.

Creating a new beginning in the tracks of COVID-19

Alred C. Frett

Face to Face with Cruel Fate or Wasted Opportunities in the Year 2020:

When Lockdowns are all over and Curfews have all ceased there will be empty spaces in our lives of many who left us without the privilege of their Last Rites… A lonely passage made still lonelier without the dignity of that last chance for fond memories or sad good byes… Years from now may find us searching for those we never knew had died or encountering those we thought long dead.

Are boycotters the greater danger to the VI?

Alred C. Frett

You may have heard of guests on a talk show trying to personally insult me for taking a stand for the Freedom of Speech and refusing to be controlled by persons who do not have the greater interest of BV-Islanders at heart… You may wish me to retaliate in shouting matches but I see no need to stoop that low when we can first try to educate and uplift those who may have lost their way.
