    Gary, here is a nail in your head it is not, and was never intend be barrels!
    ( empty barrels make the most noise(Gary).

    William Shakespeare said:

    “The empty vessel makes the loudest sound;” that, “carries a profound meaning that transcends its simplicity. On the surface, it suggests that those who lack substance or knowledge often compensate by speaking with great verbosity. This quote emphasizes the importance of substance over empty noise, reminding us to focus on the quality rather than the quantity of one’s words.”

    “Good” people’s representative. I hope you report to your Government that we are suffocating under the pressure of your banking transfer system. This system is responsible for the perpetuation of poverty by blocking opportunities to access needed business opportunities. It has been reduced to a weapon of mass destitution. You might want to earn the title of “Good”.

    Is he a resident ambassador, with a residential home in Dominica; or, is he simply a visiting ambassador making periodic visits?
    The article did not give any clarification on that!

    ADMIN: The US Ambassador to Dominica officially resides in the US Embassy in Barbados whose longer longer title is United States Ambassador to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean.

    Like his predecessors, Nyhus serves concurrently as Ambassador to the following islands: Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

    His ambassadorial duties also extend to the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS).

    Would someone ensure that En Ba La takes his meds, before he gets out of bed. Would save DNO lots of energy.

      Ambrose Laville do you know what happens to you the fact that you do not know where they come from and what they do. Just that iif you look you will know another possible ambassador whilst they are talking climate there the president is talking climate in another of his billionaire friends homes raising funds in Carlifornia.

      We are ALUMS at the same school – University of Washington Seattle a government institution in Seattle Washington. I am doing Political Science – the prime minister did psyche and whatever he studied. Pemberton studied Political Science Florida based politicians. I from Washington state Know what I am talking about – I did not get to do this – I saw witnessed interns doing nonsense with their mouths running on other people’s mouth – Law enforcement in the United States – Seattle and Everett do this.
      These people they come to your shores and what you do they can do it and know what you do.

        You know I am not a fan of Ambrose, but after reading your comments I kind of figured out why he wanted you caged before you spoke!
        I mean you are total nonsense!
        In America politicians rises money to utilize in their campaign.
        There are people in America with unlimited amounts of money they give to people like Biden, what does Biden in California rising cash have to do with Dominica?
        People like you run your mouth off on Americans and the land America, but right now you would rather be dragged behind ten wild horses than to voluntarily get of America if you are here.
        Talking about alumni? I have some doubts?

          In countries like ours we are only forty years old we have seventy five years of making up politically to do. In countries like ours we are considered ROGUES and other such words to describe us and we call for campaign financing other nations these people are Oligarchs and other times giving friends JOBS.
          Thes USA calls this man Donor, others philanthropist. and all other good names.
          The USA Presidents during their campaign they go to these rich folks homes have dinners cost per plate regulars cannot buy and upon winning they are the OUTDISDE ambassadors.

          The US does different things in different states – they use schools and students to do so much – I am in this type of school – I am saying it so we learn.

          Politically we have no voice, we have done nothing.

          I am using a uw.edu address before I was using a seattlecolleges.edu address to post – political science major.

    Oh nothing ever comes out of these meetings since we are not strategically important to them, just protocol. But, be careful, rember what happened in the Ross saga when the top fella squandered an important meeting 🤔 and elbowed the Ross exec to meet with his unimportant subordinate instead. Big mistake. The rest is.. .. history.

    What would he possibly tell another country leadership in the event they express concerns for their national security based on the above.

    With this in mind how does he see this affecting the immunity status that their service men and women enjoy worldwide?
    Even the peace corps how does he see this affecting them and acceptance of them in other peoples country.
    Based on what is going on and observed in his state and in businesses in his state and schools and groups a country requesting to have these placed on hold would he say this a hostile or a country looking after its citizens interest and the country’s interest self interest which based on being part of the international institutions that the US itself is involved in as well as leader of the free world countries would socialize and adopt at least this :self interest” from the united states and put the peace corps and the immunity enjoyed by your service men and women on hold?

    Ask about the use of microwave technology on people during protests what does he think about it.
    Seeing that this is a weapon does he have an opinion about it being utilized on people.
    Legalization of hard drugs in small amounts what does he think about it seeing that in his state marijuana is legalized recreationally with store fronts and the state next door Oregon has hard drugs legalized in small amounts what does he think?

    What does he think about what is observed and going on in his state with people’s mouths going around like round robin? Law enforcement has been witnessed doing this as well as others would he be concerned that other nations would see this as a security concern for them? Would it be other way around – would he see it as a security concern for his country?
    How about putting others mouths on others would he consider a threat to his country’s national security or how would he feel about another country being concerned about this?

    DNO would you kindly find a way to interview this Ambassador and ask him some questions
    What is the political climate in the state where he came from?
    Seeing that there is this high profile case involving the Americans in our prisons what can he tell us concerning the conditions in the jails out there in the state he came from Washington state seeing that the United States is big on human rights and conditions of jails elsewhere in third world and developing countries.
    Social structures in place protect people and their rights in his state
    Educationwise your systems how they are arranged and women children rights..
    Policing seeing we have this issue citizens from various countries including ours are concerned about policing what can tell us about your state.
    Judicial system in terms corrupt practices or illegal arrests, police harassment. The likelihood of citizens getting justice and violation of people’s rights. adherence to the constitution Intrusion of seclusion,…

      DNO I can tell you and say it clearly when I say what I say the man I can say it loudly and tell him clearly to his face,
      I have a tort claim against the city this man he is part of the problem that the USA faces today.
      Do you know that the relevant authorities are engaging in criminal activity in the United States itself?
      The same state that this man came from and the same city.
      DNO do you know what tactics that the USA engaged in during the cold War
      Are you aware that the USA itself said that it is great at what they do and they stopped but they continued?
      Are you aware that I can stand my grounds based on what I am saying? The United States today can be accused of Human Rights and Torture and bring this to foreign soil. The USA is known to associate with rogues when convenient?
      Roseau Parl Rep is a …… as well. Are you aware that there are issues to be addressed that they are not telling him. His state has people who cannot get out of prison.

          you have no idea. Dominica engaged in so much – it will sound like gibberish but they all run to the USA. They leave Dominica and RUN and these people have Think Tanks, Analysts, they have strategists – they state and school pay fees.

          Faith in our own people’s ability this is what is hindering us.

    this announcement doesn’t have any meat in it
    it;s like this was done to give Dominica a certain image
    making it worse Skerrit not there to receive de man
    His meeting with de silent moo moo President was never highlighted in de news so basically I don’t see meat on dat bone.
    This seems to be a smoke screen to give de impression that Dominica in some good company or something
    You see how far Skerrit will go now?
    Like it was tied perfectly to coincide with his outgoing meeting as CARICOM chairman……..this meeting appears to be empty and meaningless from de outside looking in.
    Did he meet with de minister of education
    did de finance minister ask pardon for all de monies we owe for student loans paid by government in de US itself
    was dis discussed at de meeting

        You are so correct, this is the example of a pervasive cult behavior
        always injecting their political partisan rhetoric as to what they want to see and hear, it is a form of sanity, lol.

      Do you have any meat on your fake body? The DLP is in control at the driver’s seat. Go exile yourself to North Korea. That is where you are needed.

        The Prime Minister and the rest of them – they said so much about the USA and they retire there. Do we ever look at Dominica through Political lenses and while we study politics do we keep the various types of governments including ours in Dominica in mind. By so doing we would be able to engage or have more meaningful engagements at the United Nations and recognize where we are on the political totem pole and see where we want to go as a nation.

        Also we would be able to recognize that we are a sovereign state and no one is above us therefore we have to chart our course – carefully tread and do what is in our peoples interest and the country on a whole.
        Learn to listen to these leaders themselves and not only adopt what they say.

        These nations established the United Nations and set the pace for countries like ours to operate. If you study politics in the right place and school you will know.

      What did they talk about for real?
      Sitting there is a businessman who himself is a billionaire or millionaire from Washington State who himself is a donor to the current president Joe Biden’s campaign and a man who is rubbing shoulders with Seattle and Washington State’s business people and politicians in Washington State.

      He is a donor with his BIG MANSION hosting Presidential candidates and the congress people secret service visits his home and have the thousands of dollars per plate dinner – with microsoft execs and amazon execs and starbucks execs, google execs, expedia exxecs, boeing execs, metro execs seahawks execs any big company execs as well as Democrats. For his contribution or raising funds on behalf of the President current he go a job and ambassadorship you see why we cannot and should have these men as ambassadors and this is not the first during Trumps reign there was another and he got EU Ambassadorship and his name ended up in a lot,
