Nonetheless, I struggle on, because we are all only here for a while, and until we figure out a good reason why, we should spend it in helping others…  Unfortunately, we have been programmed to amass wealth which we will eventually leave for do-nothing Relatives, Strangers, Governments and Lawyers, to fight over… Meanwhile, those who contributed along the way are often worse off than they were before.

This year is already filled with trials and tribulations… The Heat Waves, Sahara dust, and Stress levels are competing for record-setting effects... Hospitals are full, Prisons are full, and the Graveyards are filling up… All across the World, the rich and powerful have their Pensions and Health Care locked in and paid for by the less fortunate, while their actions and inactions threaten the most basic Care for the poor.

The UK’s NHS is on life support, while in America, Trump is consumed with trying to kill Obamacare… Here in the VI, NHI and Public Health Care don’t seem to care or realise that they have the ability to reduce the negatives... It would be easy for them to be helpful and innovative, but those in authority seem to be seeking excuses to blame others, while they create situations that could make NHI nonfunctional. 

We Handicap Our People & Then Blame Them For Not Winning The Race:

To say that we export nothing is misleading, because for years we exported US Dollars whenever we purchase or employ foreign Goods, services, and Entertainment… While International trade is a norm, it becomes counterproductive when we purchase or recruit the same goods and services that can be produced and provided locally… By stifling the local markets and ambition, we create a National failure.

By being conditioned to celebrate blindness as Progress, we position our People to suffer needlessly… These facts may be hard to face, but I have never lied to or misled you… Perhaps you recall my warnings about Trump… No one believed until the World was forced to suffer… We are now in deep trouble, and if we want our Children to experience a hint of true Freedom, then we must face reality.

It is unfortunate when leaders are programmed to spend more time blocking the younger generations, rather than helping them… I hear the cries, but I am hoping for another 15 productive years, and having to smile with Demons and battle with Devils could shorten my days... I much prefer it if New Voices came along to bring Truth for the Youth... In the meanwhile, I will continue the struggle for as long as I can.

As Leaders continue to fail around the world, replacement Candidates are anxious to try their Agendas from the inside, hoping for a greater impact than from the outside… However, Promises are not new, and Life may be unpredictable, but it is real, so when asking me about running for office, we too must be realistic… I ran before and lost, and our People are still suffering as a result of their unfulfilled promises.

We Don’t School Them;... We Just Fool Them & Rule Them:

Some Names carry significant meaning, and Frett is an original VI Name, given because our Ancestors refused to be obedient slaves… Today, we are taught to reject Truth and Reality, and consider ourselves as progressive by being obedient to the directives of Masters, even when they are broke and unable to manage their own affairs... I have zero intention of spoiling the vision and sacrifices of my forefathers.

Meanwhile, their Descendants are in the habit of changing leaders with the frequency of bathroom toiletries... Somehow, they were able to frighten and fool our Leaders with their COI Scheme, so they are back with a Constitution Scheme…  As a result, we are wasting time and money trying to convince our People that this is progress, when it is simply a way of fulfilling the Slave Master’s Dreams and Agenda.

Furthermore, we abandoned Reparation compensation, for the injustices we suffered, and we are preoccupied with chasing OBE’s and MBE’s, without realising that this is a ghost… There is no British Empire, and when one existed, the Wealth came from Colonies, Piracy and Slavery… They took our Wealth back to their Country, and since we lack Resources, they no longer have a real need for us.

Unfortunately, there is a belief that Citizens cannot help their People unless they are in seats of Power but by then, the People may have suffered and died… My messages are tailored to bring awareness to Issues that would enable the Youth to make informed decisions about their future… In this way, whether we are in or out, candidate or voter, you can determine the relevancy of these objectives to your lives.

There are still those who are calling for Independence without weighing the pros and cons... Maybe they should realise that self-sufficiency is the greatest independence and this is best accomplished by developing our local human resources... Subsequently, the Health and Education of a Country are its most precious Resources... Any Constitution should be futuristic for both VIslanders and Residents.

Having the Will to Find a Way for Things to be Done:

No doubt you can add more items to this list, but I would start off with the following, in no particular order...

- Human and Civil Rights for all…

- Access and ownership of Real Estate…

- Company and Employment Rights and Privileges…

- State-Assisted Higher Education…

- Replace Prison Sentencing for Child Support with better means of Collection…

- Provide Public Defenders for Persons deemed unable to afford their own lawyers.

- Salaries for Civil Servants and Politicians to be decided by Public Arbitration and not by Politicians…

- Support and Subsidies for Farming, Fishing and other Local Production and Manufacturing Enterprises…

- Reduction or removal of Income Taxes for VIslanders and their Companies…

- Increases in Social Security and NHI Contributions and Benefits…

- Housing Assistance for 1^st Time Homeowners

To accomplish these may require a new approach to some longstanding irregularities that prevent us from getting what we paid for... For example: We elect Representatives to address our needs, but we get Bosses who call themselves leaders and represent themselves, rather than the People; We pay Civil Servants to meet the needs of the Public, but we get high-priced Employees who act rude and unhelpful.

Some say that time will solve all problems and ease all pain, but that is false... More often than not, the help we need is for here and now… Failing this, things will worsen, and ‘just a little later’ becomes ‘much too late’... Nothing we said today will heal itself, but everything we said today can be changed for the better... All depends on whether there is the will and determination to care enough, to try and find a way.
