America became independent on July 4,1776.Two hundred and thirty- six(236) years later in 2022,Ketanjl Brown Jackson a 51 year old became the first black woman to be confirmed as a supreme court judge.The Republicans voted 47 against confirmation out of a total of 50.Kenneth Rijock a white convicted money launderer is able to convince a bunch of black UWP crooks and traitors to walk in a black country against a black government based on fake news,propaganda and lies.
I would like to ask Jonathan Y St.Jean,IBO France and Francisco-dog what is the difference between Kenneth Rijock and Lennox Linton?It is documented that Kenneth Rijock went to jail charged and convicted for money laundering.
You should be making that specific comparison to the gentleman and your ungodly idol. He should be behind bard for his copious, corrupt practices. These include but not limited to garbage bins and fertilizer scandals, the missing CBI $Billions.
One day I went to buy some stuff from a Dominican guy I asked him the price of his lettuce he said $5,price of sweet potatoes he said $5,price of a jelly $5,then he shamelessly said,without being asked”The Haitians selling it $5.The lazy bunch of UWP marchers should go get work to do instead of letting the Haitians dictate how they should sell fruits and vegetables from Dominican lands.I listen to one of the marches say ” I took a walk in Roseau and everywhere I go is just Jenny’s,Jenny’s Jenny’s”The useless bunch of marchers headed by Martin does not have a single business to employ one Dominican,but they are trying to stab foreigners in the back for employing Dominicans,in the name of peace and prosperity.The Haitians are sending millions of dollars to Haiti from the proceeds of agricultural produce grown on Dominican soil,while a bunch of uwp JACKA patrolling in the sun for,peace,justice and prosperity.A bunch of losers.
A word of advice to the lazy louts who either refuse to work and have a lot of time to kill walking about the streets of Roseau, following lazy unproductive leaders who are contributing nothing towards the development of Dominica, or those taking time away from the workplace – prosperity only comes with hard work. So spending so much time walking about not doing nothing, will not bring you or Dominica prosperity. Please get real. Linton, lugay etc. only have one thing on their mind, to get into power to enable them to enrich themselves with CBI money. Athie Martin need to be put in an old peoples home to relax and enjoy the later part of his life. He is a Dominican icon and should retire from politics gracefully.
Do you know that Dominica has one of the highest rates of unemployment in the Caribbean? The country is presently economically barren. To find gainful employment is like trying to find a safety pin in a expansive, forested area.
What did Martin Luther King Jr. do to bring about fundamental changes to systemic racism in the US? WALK/MARCH! We have to use our feet and not just our mouths to effect fundamental changes at times. A bonus benefit from these WALKS is that we also get well needed exercise.
51 NEW apartments to be handed to the people of Roseau Central today.That is the end of UWP in Roseau Central.Walk,march,protest is for losers and lazy people with no ambition.Mal twavy.Anybody against the CBI is committing crimes against the people of Dominica.At the handing over ceremony the people should be reminded of the UWP opposition to the CBI.
These apartments were built with the people’s money. Not even one cent came from Skerrit’s personal account nor his pocket.
The occupants of these apartments still remain as dispossessed as they were before they moved in. Not one of them has documents of ownership. They can be evicted at anytime at the whim and fancy of this Despot.
What is much more preferable is the government creating the enabling economic environment for most citizens to build and own their own individual houses, on their own piece of the rock, with their own design with much land space for recreation and backyard gardening.
Steel and concrete edifices and structure is the easiest thing for the government to do as they have access to billions of CBI funds illegally kept from the scrutiny of the Director of Audit.
Not to be handed to people of Roseau. To be handed to Skerrit supporters of Roseau. Stop your cheap propaganda! Get your facts right, you greedy worm!
What a flop. Affee give up go bottle water.
Wake up Dominican,s wake up! Your future and the future of your children, grandchildren and unborn great grandchildren is at stake. Whether your children get to live a fulfilling and productive life in their homeland depends on what you adults do today/now.
Give not even a nanosecond of your attention to the meagre handful of buffoons and those on the fringe of life affiliated with the DLP and its chief DESPERADO.
Keep the fire burning .
Let Skerrit know and understand that people are fed up with his corrupt practices and needs to go….
Now, we have marches happening simultaneously, one in Roseau the other in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Bronx. Oh Athie, behave yourself and stop acting like a fool. What do you hope to accomplish from this mess? Look at how healthy, big and strong and robust Dominicans look. Life must be good in DA except for Athie who looks old, feeble, and emaciated.
ds, Athie will not fight-back and let you have it, but I the kid will take you on because I bad and don’t give a damn.
Athie might be many other things, but to make himself fool I doubt that could ever happen, let me tell you claim to have a masters degree in accounting, you even claim to have a BBA, but I can tell you if in fact Athie has a scientific degree which I know he has, in Agronomy, your peanut brain cannot compare or match the intelligence you the man you suggest making himself a fool.
Research the classes Athie had to take in order to achieve his degree in agronomy, it is not an easy walk-over discipline.
The only thing I blame him for now, he should have stayed in the Roosevelt Skerrit regime, and destroy it from within, if he did that he would not be marching now!
But, somebody from withing will destroy Roosevelt, I believe Melisa his wife will, she knows all that crooked fellow secrets, she will eventually get tired, and destroy him!
That’s a…
Brother, i took on Maths, Chemistry, Biology and Physics and Agricultural Science in High school. My Agricultural Science teacher at the time was Edison James. I also did Accounting and Commerce in high school as well. I know science. What is your point? My original plan was to study to become a Pharmacist but, I chose Accounting instead so that I could control the CBI money. lol. If Athie was that good in Agronomy why did our banana industry fail under his leadership, according to you? He was just another Peter Josie of St. Lucia, another BS Agronomist.
ds, when you talking to someone like me who know how the the college, and university academic system works; for you to introduce me or anyone to this is a total insult to ones intelligence.
Brother, i took on Maths, Chemistry, Biology and Physics and Agricultural Science in High school.
So, the point I am making here is that the stuff you learn in high school becomes practically irrelevant when you get into college and university. It is my experience that if one is an A, student in high school, it is practically impossible to maintain an A, GPA average.
Sometimes the prerequisites you you use to get into college becomes useless, because you are at a higher level.
You talk about Physics, but high school physics will help you with quantum physics in University, and that is why you often here the term undergraduate.
If James taught you, you must have some potential; I remember he told Dr. Griffin Benjamin father, your son will become medical doctor.
So , stop farting Roosevelt!
So, I was telling you if Edison James taught you; indeed you might have some high potential, so stop farting for Roosevelt Skerrit, and find a way to make some money.
I was there the day when Edison told Elford Griffin will become a medical doctor; and by the way Griffin is also a “Telemaque” too, his grandmother, his father’s mother biological surname is Telemaque, she is my late father aunt.
You see we are all born smart!
What do you have to say about that now ds, watch that fake fly claims to be for Wesley, that can’t read nobody run their mouth off on me now if the read this.
Fly don’t buzz in my ear, I will get fly squishier and hammer you with it.
, “but high school physics will help you with quantum physics in University, and that is why you often here the term”
I meant to say high school physics will not help you in quantum physics.
A good background in Algebra is the the bass for every level of mathematics.
Who told you that Accounting was an easy walk-on discipline? I am quoting you, brother – Athie devastated the banana industry in Dominica. Agronomy, my foot. Bad, my foot. Accounting is a classy, dressed-up, professional, white-collar job in the world. You talking “By the Numbers”, brother. Agronomy is a dirty, blue-collar job.
Talk to Jimmy Carter about peanut brain; he is the peanut man in the fields of Atlanta, Georgia. You claim to have all these bogus qualifications in America and, you have made not one contribution to your country, Dominica. You claim to be cousins and relatives of phantom big shots and nobody in Dominica knows you and ever brings up your name in conversations. It is a sad commentary. We reminisce about Jeff Charles, Barnette Defoe, Francis Andre, Irvine Shillingford, Clem John but not you. You are insignificant and a nonentity.
My humble advice to the organizer(s) of this most worthwhile initiative. The chosen time of the day for the march is when most adults are working or students are at school.
In order to garner maximum participation, just after 4 pm when the workday for most persons would have ended is a more suitable time. Students would have been dismissed from most schools also. Just a suggestion.
Every reasonable, sensible and able-bodied Dominican would support this worthy effort. Put your fears and inhibitions aside and change the downward trajectory of the country.
Dominica needs you more than ever before. Come on, let all flag-waving Dominicans show up and be counted. History will smile on you.
