Governor could force same-sex marriage on VI with additional powers- Premier
This is according to Premier and Minister of Finance Dr the Hon Natalio D. Wheatley (R7) when asked about possible implications of the Governor being given additional powers.
“One of the very damaging additional powers that he [Governor Rankin] is requesting is the ability to introduce new legislation,” Premier Wheatley said during a press conference on Monday, January 8, 2024.
What damage can the Governor do with additional powers?
Premier Wheatley said one of the things that the Governor failed to mention during his January 5, press conference is the fact that he has the power to pass legislation once it’s already introduced.
“So, let’s just give an example, for instance, if he wanted to pass a same-sex marriage law he could do that.”
He also referenced other areas where high-handed legislations are at risk of being imposed on the VI, “If he wants to pass a police legislation where the police can just go into your homes without warrants, he could do that. He would have all legislative authority and we as a Virgin Islands People would have to determine if we are comfortable with that.”
Premier Wheatley is also concerned that, among the many other things, the Governor would have the power to take over any government department or ministry.
“That’s what he is requesting and that is a power that we gained with Ministerial Government in 1967,” Dr Wheatley said.

1) Take over Immigration: He wants to immediately give over 4000 of his kind status so they can out number the people of the BVI and then allow them to have a secondary take over plan.
2) Pass the new police act on his own: He wants to give the police unlimited powers to do many anti-democratic things such as but not limited to searching anyone's home without a warrant and do so on mere suspicion. Talk about making the BVI a police state where people will have no basic human nor democratic rights.
3) He wants to pass the Jury Act: Here is where he wants the cases to proceed without any jury to decided the cases but rather have the Judge themselves decide if you are guilty. Not only is this anti democratic but it represents dictatorship as all the UK will do next is flood the position of Judges with persons from the UK who have like minds as them against the locals and Caribbean people. It is another tier of their take over plan.
4) Powers to pass laws by himself without HOA: Here is where he wants to legalize same sex marriage. Here is where he wants to redefine who is a Virgin Islander.
I will stop there for now but people of the BVI these people have no good intention for us. They have no respect for our democracy and democratic rights. It is time to wake up and stand up for what is right and represents true democracy and not sit back and allow a wicked agenda by the Brits to get through.
That way, when those murderers responsible for all these unsolved murders are caught, we just execute them by lethal injection once convicted. By now, it won’t be any damn hanging. We’ll be well past that. Let families watch that injection take effect.
In fact the governor is in a same sex union. FASTS!
And who wants the police to pass more than him. He believes in corruption that's why the police commissioner is still in office.
But what really gets them upset is the idea of 2 men getting married.
How the F does allowing gay people to come here for a civil marriage ceremony out on some beach you never go to, threaten your little weak-ass, insecure cultural security? You think BVI women are so weak? You afraid YOU will be turned gay by being on the same island as some gay people?
One area you are correct - this whole righteous hatred towards gay people is a symptom of your colonized mind. Because someone FORCED christianity down your ancestors' throat in order to control them, you now spout fundamentalist Christian bull crap without even realising it's the ultimate slavery tool.
And you all cluck around so proud that you KNOW "God" and are so certain of His Word (slave masters told you this, right?) that you feel you can go around spreading HATE and calling for gay people to be burned and killed and tortured.
Think about how messed up this is. Let them be. Let them love. Love is better than hate, for all of us.
You will never escape the fact that gay people do and have existed everywhere, all through time. So which is more natural? Gayness? Or the wyt man's book of mental control handed down from day's past?
Oh wait. No.
If he does force a law through and it is about gay marriage, it won't affect anyone in the BVI in any way all.
Except the poor gay people who have to live down low because they are afraid for their life in this crazy fundamentalist christian society that is closer to Taliban and Isis than anything.
Low education, clinging to scriptures - originally imposed by slave masters - like they are the only truth, leads to intolerance and cruelty towards fellow humans. And still you think you are righteous and Godly.
