BAUGHERS BAY, Tortola, VI- “People of the Virgin Islands, might I dare submit to you that there are some powers at work in these Virgin Islands that is beyond what the naked eyes can see, and we have to get this monkey off our back, we got to get this darkness out of our airspace.”

Those were the words of clergyman and political commentator Mr Claude O. Skelton-Cline during his Honestly Speaking show on ZBVI 780 AM on Tuesday, April 11, 2023.

The talk show host questioned the lack of development in certain critical areas of the Virgin Islands and posited that there are some “strongholds” over the territory.

He said in some cases the “spirits” have delayed and in other instances they have derailed the plans to advance the territory and added that anybody who sees God better than he does always warns him that the VI has become a place where the witchcraft is thriving.

Spirit forces stagnating VI?

“Ask yourself the question, how is it in the 21st century the so-called billions of dollars we spend every four years? How is it with all of the technology that’s available to us, all of the brain power that’s available to us, all of the skillset that’s available to us right here, without us even having to go outside of ourselves…ask yourself this question. How come we can’t get potholes fixed? How come we have basic infrastructure issues such as water? Is there something else at work in these Virgin Islands that is delaying the speed with which we should be as a destination?”

Mr Skelton-Cline also pondered how come in a modern, sophisticated territory, where there live some of the most “degreed” persons, sewage is running in the streets.

He then urged the VI to attend a prayer session at the Road Town Market Square at 5:30 PM today, March 12, 2023.

Mr Skelton-Cline informed that the prayer session will be led by “gatekeeper” Roxanne Tasha Toussaint.

“We got to break loose from some of these chains. We just can’t keep on singing these stuff and then living in chains,” Mr Skelton-Cline argued.

      The hands of these guavanas are not clean. The last one and his mother were worse than any of you could imagine. This one is on an even higher plain. Wake up BVI.

    Smoke and mirrors to distract the gullible from the incompetence and thieving that has gone on for 30+ years.

    The reason everything is done badly, or not at all, is not because of witchcraft. The CoI made that clear.

      Pure foolishness. The worse has been and still is NDP 1 & 2. This election is the worse. You will be shocked to know what they are doing and have done. Their greed to continue their legacy of power and wealth is what has doomed us from when they took over from Lavity last days.

      Glad that it is acknowledged that God is stronger, so if that was the case the last election if He wanted to stop it He would have. What people fail to realize is God put up and puts down. It can be a pharoh but He alows for His purpose

    I want to urge Mr. Skelton Cline that is the spirit of greed and selfishness that people like him possessed that is causing the Territory to be stagnated. First of all we must accept our limitation to cope with the high cost of providing for ourselves. We need to stop pretending that the Virgin Islands is a country that stands aloof. If we humble ourselves and learn to co-exist with other countries of the Caribbean, we could be more advanced than we are. We tend to look in a condescending manner on other countries, that is why we become frustrated when things are happening to us.

    If we should consider the Dominica Republic for instance, the people are producing for themselves. They recycle old cars and other metals. They produce their own food. They built and maintained the best road network in the Caribbean with lesser wages. Yet for all they are humble. The citizens pay their taxes so that the country could have money to build schools, hospitals and affordable medical care for the citizens. Unlike us in the Virgin Islands we don't want to pay our taxes for better health care, education, security and repair the road net work. So what the Man of the Cloth is preaching he is not telling the truth because he knows fully well what took place at the Pier Park development and that is what BROKE the government.

    What ever is a “gatekeeper “ ?
    And please tell Ms. Roxanne that it clearly states on the bible that women should be silent and not talk in church.

    Folks, let’s cut the foolish, idle chatter, crap, bout occult forces running wild in the BVI . The BVI shortcomings and failures are rooted in incompetence, greed, badmindness, disunity, poor planning, execution, etc, not occult forces. Everything that happens to us we attribute to occult science. Hogwash, we need to look at the root cause of our problems and it is not black magic. Some claimed that there the BVI has more degrees per capita than anywhere rise in the world. So what? What are the degreed doing for the territory? Nada. All those degrees are love me walks decorations ,etc. we put up or shut bout all our degrees.

    The population now as is only 40% of the adult voting population can vote, then I am hearing a lot of people say they not voting..so we may end up with Small turn out, and with so many at large a person can win with less than 1000 votes..Imagine that..Small turn out always favour the sitting Govt..

    It seems like some people even people that say they know God: fail to remember that whatever is the will of God it would be done. Turn it or twist it, He has the final say. No power over rules His plan for this land. May it be a blessing or a lesson. Because of the looks at thibgs some of our hearts arw way hardened and didnt get the lesson in 2017. God sees and know and just like His children of Israel He dealt with them accordingly. God is not mocked

    You know it's the ladies that usually carry both surname. But this opportunist involuntary come back from Detroit used both surnames to climb the social ladder for upward mobility to wealth. And he is latching on to the relevance conduit spewing superstitions about "dark force" knowing our people are fed religion from birth and not technology or academics. So we always superstitious and will latch on to him or whoever.
