Whether or not, who the cap fits wears it, there is no need for me to call names because you have heard or read their statements and after all the time and effort spent denying the things I say, it must be rough for Leaders to finally admit to all these things; including the Snap Election being called as a plan to silence opposing Voices and force our People to go along with what they know is wrong.

Maybe they were successful for Wikipedia’s Article on our NHI shows that Politicians were unable to oppose it because they all previously agreed to it without understanding it… As a result, they said or did nothing, leaving the Public to become threatened and afraid so we must be very careful not to allow this new found Political Anger to cloud our judgment and make us emotionally irrational.

Remember, the consequence of believing lies is what brought us to this crisis stage and we can only succeed by looking at things in a sensible and level headed manner… We would be wrong to allow ourselves to be misled by the misled for what they may present as helpful vengeance may be designed to set us further back at a time when all depends on the Mentality of our Government.

Knowing the difference between Representatives, Leaders & Dictators:

Our own Governmental System is based on Democratic Representation rather than Dictator Rule but often the term ‘Representative’ is conveniently replaced by ‘Leader’ or ‘Ruler/ Dictator’ and we forget that Representatives carry out People’s Wishes and Leaders set Good Examples to be followed by others while Rulers or Dictators stay behind and force others to carry out their wishes.

For Centuries Governments abused their Powers and Responsibilities and created Systems whereby Slave Descendants are programmed to trust others while hating themselves… This conditioned us to doubt our ability to know what is right and do what is good… As a consequence we accept being treated worse than we deserve and taking over a Decade to see NHIS is wrong for our People.

By holding back ourselves we justify Hidden Racists like Trump, Palin, Huckabee and others wishing to revoke the 14^th Amendment to openly refer to us as Dogs and less than Human… Worse yet, the actions of our own Representatives suggest they have joined in seeing us as less than ‘man or woman enough’ to think for ourselves; thus inferring the Black Lives of our Children do not Matter.

Where were we when Leaders forced our Children back into Slavery?

Their NHIS is already acknowledged as a bad idea but the dictatorial decision to push our High School Children backwards is far worse and it’s incomprehensible how any Caribbean Person or Government can ever imagine or enact a Policy that hampers the Education of Children, knowing that our Ancestors were prevented from learning to Read and Write in order to keep them in Slavery.

Our Children should be encouraged to progress and any Person or Government that forces them to regress is unfit to lead… Unfortunately, BV-Islanders have been so castrated that, just like with the NHIS, they will remain quiet until it’s too late and irreparable damage is done to our People and Country… I see no choice but to speak out because ‘Black Lives Matter and our Children Matter’.

Their Education must not be retarded and while the objective is not to destroy NHIS there must be 100% Effort to have it fixed… To achieve this we require Truth, Transparency and Changes in Political Mentalities – none of which we have seen… In fact there are many more questions than answers and the more they try to excuse their Explanations the worse their Mission appears.

When the Chief cannot control his Warriors are any Braves left?

Persons are realising that if this goes forward there is nothing to prevent Government from increasing the NHI Tax when they feel it’s not bringing in the Monies they anticipated… Meanwhile, even Private Health Providers who saw themselves making a killing from this scheme, realise they were fooled - unless they have connections – and NHIS was really created to totally destroy them.

I will always support viable National Health Care for our People but we should be concerned that Government’s Proposed Health Insurance Scheme is not in BV-Islanders Best Interest… However, there are those Representatives who love calling themselves Leaders and playing Dictators so it’s no surprise when they insist NHI must go ahead because someone must pay for Bad Leadership.

Clearly, their way to acknowledge the limitation of their own vision is the creation and design of the NHIS to serve as a Piggy Bank for covering Political Agendas and Mistakes; some of which resulted from their repeated attempts to stop advancements I initiated… This is wrong and we must hope that even Dictatorships have Leaders – If we can change their minds we may find representation.

These are crucial times that need real representation and the fact that you elected them gives you the right to speak to them directly – especially the Chief… There is no doubt that our People are in trouble and even he cannot believe that doing wrong to prove a point can ever make it right.
