Heads of Government with their feet on our necks
Never too Young to Earn or Old to Learn:
Some seniors say that they understand and appreciate what I’m saying as good or better than the Youth so I shouldn’t ignore them... They may be right but, they had the same opportunities before and shouldn’t deny the Youth now getting their turn at information... Furthermore, even now they have equal opportunity to read, listen and learn and are even welcomed to correct me when and where necessary.
We are all on the same journey even if not all will reach the destination – We have seen this before where none of the Israelites who left Egypt reached the Promise Land... Nonetheless, life goes on, with or without us even if we brag about achievements on the hope that no one double-checks or realises; like Joshua to Moses, the accomplishments were carryovers from previous persons or administrations.
Similarly, we may have to thank Andrew for his Projects, just as we would acknowledge Wheatley for his efforts... Furthermore, we would have to assess the wholistic effects of extenuating circumstances like; Covid-19 and CoI regarding what they have they done to us and for us from both a long and a short-term aspect... We may have to do a better assessment than what the UK did with Brexit.
She is still trying to pretend that Brexit is not a tragedy but, the reality of life keeps on knocking on her doors and, sooner or later, she will have to acknowledge that the negatives surpassed the positives - even the severity and frequency of violent Crimes have significantly increased... Meanwhile, hard times in the VI are getting harder so we prefer to talk of Christmas, imaginary Monies and Good Times.
We feel that the bigger the Budget, then the better the Budget as we mentally caress the imaginary projects – maybe some of the trickledown will reach us... We refuse to believe that our ‘mother country is broke and we are broke’ so, our glorified Estimates of Budgets and Projects with Monies for leaders to spend, can only be taken from the people, via increased Borrowing, Taxes or any means necessary.
The Failure to Serve the People is a Failure to Please God:
As usual, these are inconvenient truths you wish not to know, for fear that this could mean realising that our Traditional beliefs in most Systems will be turned upside-down and, you may finally have to ask yourself how to go about rearranging the Royal Holidays and, even the Christian Holidays, now that the UK is no longer a majority Christian jurisdiction... Maybe we will solve this by creating a Holiday Council.
A real problem is that these Councils, Associations and Self-interest Bodies have mandated themselves to drain the Resources of the People and Country... They act like Missionaries whose real mission was never the saving of Souls but for capital gain by acting as Trustee Land Agents who would acquire Local Lands for little or nothing – Hence, as soon as we ran out of Lands, we ran out of Missionaries.
Of course, they still left us their broken Justice System which we believed in as much as their Christ... However, it’s becoming increasingly clear that major Courts in the US and UK, are politically biased and quite open to the abuse of Basic Human Rights... Martin Luther King’s Dream is rotating backwards as Justice depends on the Dollar, Democracy is replaced by Hypocrisy and the Poor is destined to suffer.
At the same time, America no longer stands alone as openly racist, for, our suspicion of closeted racism in the UK and Royal Household has been exposed... Indian, Sunak is unappreciated and Lady Hussey had to resign for openly suggesting that UK-born black persons were not real UK Citizens and should go back to Africa... Even Putin’s Russian Friends blame Black Musicians for the problems of the world.
The VI is no longer Nature’s little Secret and, between CoI, Covid and local Leaders, we are destroying ourselves with handpicked decision-making heads of Governmental Agencies who have no desire or intent to advance the Country or People... They are more interested in using their positions to hinder others and help themselves, so, if UK’s desire is our internal self-destruction, she seems to be winning.
...Wonder Why God rejected the Building by Solomon:
We should be terrified when Titles and Actions contradict Missions... After all, commonsense dictates that, if these Agency Heads were really intended to serve the Public, then, it would be better for them to be proposed by Government but ratified by the People... In this way, it would appear less UK-controlled and avoid the agony and embarrassment from persons willing and ready to destroy our Country and People.
We have always thought of ourselves as religious, but, if we truly believe so much in the Bible, then, we should never forget that it was arrogance, bad mindedness and the disparity in labour and taxes that destroyed the kingdom of Israel... We were never a kingdom and therefore much easier to be destroyed – Perhaps, it’s already happening and our failure to recognise and correct this will just hasten the end.
We appear to have our own traitors and sellouts – our own Clarence Thomas, Herschel Walker, Kanye West and Blacks for Trump – Influential persons with no qualms about joining with oppressors in a quest to destroy their own People and take our Country, from bad to worse... Traditions, Superstitions and Prayer Warriors, convinced us that by closing eyes and ignoring facts, our problems will all disappear.
If this was true, we would never be in trouble, and if we are not fools then we know better and, should do better - Just like local Jumbies hide from Electric Light, Lies will disappear in the presence of Truth... Rescue is the priority and, we should know that digging a deeper hole from the inside is no solution, and to simply remain inside provides us with a prison, while, filling in the hole will surely create a grave.
Life can be hard and while most can only talk about impossibilities, we have lived them... We have had to look, listen and learn, so, if our Forefathers with limited knowledge and meagre resources were able to take us from bondage to freedom and sometimes from freedom to prosperity, then, have we grown so useless and incapable that we would turn back the hands of progress to the misery of our own Children?

I find that you were open to others views, and do not have a know-it-all attitude.
Great price of writing. I truly appreciate you straight forwardness, and your understanding that both youths, and older people are views are important to help build a better future for all the citizens of the British Virgin Islands.
Goodly written.✓
Only Joshua and Caleb made in of all the persons who left Egypt.
We should really prepare ourselves for a VIEXIT,,
