    Why do you people attribute everything negative to religious correlations? Yes the government may be lacking, thus an increase in crime, the relentless evil this, God that is unbearing.

  3. The Evil One
    January 16, 2023

    When the evil one called his election on the night of November 6 the people of the entire east coast including Delices were cut off from Dominica earlier that same day. Yet the evil one was so bound by his evil commitment that not even that state of emergency would stop him from announcing election. I don’t know if is a blood commitment he had with Satan his boss but we can see the trend. So I not surprised the first road fatality for 2023 is from that same East coast. No matter the cause of death we in Dominica should know by now that the curse of the evil one is hurting the country

    It’s unfortunate that these guys are dying in areas where there is not much traffic. I wish our people were not in such a hurry and they just took their time and paid more attention to driving.
    The country is very small and no matter how fast they drive they will shave a few minutes at best on the trips.
    Slow down bros.

    Dominica now. Depopulation one by one. Who doesn’t think that Dominica is under a heavy curse must think twice. In any case Dominicans have already been replaced. Just look closely. That cool out money is blood 🩸 money. Keep away! You keep taking that 30 pieces of Silver you are doing yourself in.

    Another sad death, another murder and another shooting to end the second week of January 2023.
    Boy as bad as the economy is and as tuff as things are in the commonwealth the amount of blood we are seeing is the cry of the people as our people continue to die a very sad death as if we are under a plague.
    But what do you expect when the church blesses the evil of Skerrit and refer to him as a man of integrity?
    What do you expect when the nine ministers who were fired by Skerrit know the man is wicked but they tell us he is good?
    What do you expect when those 20 candidates that form his new cabinet knew the man is as wicked as hell but just for their greed, evil desires and love of money they decided to join him?
    It is sad to say it but my people we are under a serious curse and we better cover ourselves with the blood of Jesus every day because the plague on our island is real
    My deepest condolences to family and friends of the deceased. But more of Skerrit is more curse and more…

      Is the blood of Jesus really working? I have been hearing this ever since I know myself and I have seen things get from bad to worse. How can the blood of a man who never existed save us? We need to stop believing in myths. Religion has become the opium of the people and nothing gets better.

        You need to read history! Not only does the bible say that Jesus existed, but even historians say that he did; you need to get a hold of the book of Josephus, who was Jewish. The Jews didn’t believe that Jesus was the Christ, but Josephus claims that He did.

      If willful stupidity is a curse, then you are right. Dominicans chose to harbor guns, chose to drink and drive, chose to throw caution to the wind, chose to believe that reality is a hoax and chose to disobey even the most sensible laws.

    RIP young man and my deepest sympathy to the family. The last few years Dominica has become very scary but since the demonic 666 election of Skerrit on December 6, this place has become very very scary with the kind of deaths taking place.
    We ended the year with 2 brutal murders of women murdered by their man. 2023 opened with a drowning, a suicide, a baby died in day care, a young man died cutting a tree, another murder in Mourn Bruce, a near murder or attempted murder in Maro and now this road fatality.
    Yes the likes of man bite dog, LinClown, Elizabeth and others will say these things happening all over. But my friends this is Dominica, a small country, a quiet country where we are not use to so much blood shed. Man since Skerriit became PM and chise the mark of the beast date for his election no doubt demonic activities have increased sharply and the people are mourning much more than rejoicing But pro 29:2 warns …but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.”
