The recent “I Run Tings” (IRT) statement by Prime Minister Skerrit has set social media platforms and talk shows buzzing with stinging critiques, serious accusations and hilarious comments. The comment that amused me the most was the one that stated “Skerrit suffering from “IRTitis”, no cause of the “IRTitis” was given neither was any treatment recommended. I imagined the writer must have been thinking that Mr. Skerrit’s mind was inflamed at the time of the utterance and made their diagnosis in the same way doctors call an inflamed appendix appendicitis. Though I am not a psychiatrist nor Mr. Skerrit’s physician I can relate to the diagnosis, however the closet medical term to “IRTitis” I know is Hubris Syndrome.
In medicine, a syndrome is a combination of symptoms and signs that together represent a disease process. Hubris Syndrome, a term coined by former UK politician and physician Dr David Owen is not a formal personality disorder but an illness of position as much as of person. He came to his conclusions after studying heads of various governments over 100 years. Interestingly, he singled out Margaret Thatcher, George W Bush and Tony Blair as having developed Hubris Syndrome while in office. The syndrome was also assigned to President Trump in the May 5th2017 edition of the New Yorker Magazine.
According to Owen, Hubris syndrome is inextricably linked with power. Indeed power is a prerequisite for the condition. He notes that the severity of the condition bears some relationship to the time the individual has been in high office. Owen further states that the behavioral symptoms in a head of government which might trigger the diagnosis of hubris syndrome typically grow in strength with time and at least three or four symptoms on a recommended list of fourteen, should be present before the diagnosis is made. I will quote nine from Owen’s list that support a diagnosis of Hubris Syndrome in Prime Minister Skerrit.
1) a narcissistic propensity to see the world primarily as an arena in which they can exercise power and seek glory rather than as a place with problems that need approaching in a pragmatic and self-referential manner
2)a predisposition to take actions which seem likely to cast them in a good light, taken in part in order to enhance their image.
3)a disproportionate concern with image and presentation.
4) a messianic manner of talking about what they are doing and a tendency to exalt in speech and manner.
5)excessive confidence in their own judgement and contempt for the advice or criticism of others.
6)recklessness, restlessness and impulsiveness.
7)loss of contact with reality, often associated with progressive isolation.
a consequent type of incompetence in carrying out a policy, which could be called hubristic incompetence. This is where things go wrong precisely because too much self-confidence has led the leader not to worry about the nuts and bolts of policy. (it is to be distinguished from ordinary incompetence).
9) a belief that rather than being accountable to the mundane court of colleagues or public opinion, the real court to which they answer is much greater i.e History or God. This is often accompanied by an unshakable belief that in that court, they will be vindicated.
Remember, you only need three or four to make the diagnosis.Yet, it will be no surprise that the inherent bias of those who blindly support Mr. Skerrit will not allow themselves to acknowledge the signs of irrational behavior in their dear leader. Why? Simply because that acknowledgement will reflect poorly on their decision to put him there in the first place and to keep him there for three consecutive terms to the detriment of the country. That notwithstanding, I think it is of extreme importance to those concerned by this hubristic “I Run Tings” outburst and faux pas to be aware that the syndrome only gets worse with time and the only known cure is for the individual to demit office or lose power. Furthermore, if the diagnosis of Hubris Syndrome in Skerrit has saddened or worse, angered you, cheer up. Let not your hearts be troubled. In Dominica, Nature Isle of the World, “Everything Bless and Jah, only Jah Run Things”.
May the spirits of the ancestors be pleased.
Politicians must stop using their nation nationals and an armoured shield for their own personal gains and profits. They owe the duty of partotism to they nation and citizenry.
Doctor smoke weed please do a diagnosis for mad max Lenox. We waiting
Thank you Dr. Pascal for your diagnosis and suggestion for cure. We await Dr. Dr. Punjab to schedule the Skerrit-ectomy.
There is no cure bro. Is like a cancer, you must remove it
I alone run things meaning i alone run Dominica into the ground while taking CASH from the treasury.
Who runs things in Dominica? CASH to yours truly.
Thank you Dr P. I won’t say too much, just that you spoke the truth. The good Dr Dr has lost his grip on reality.
SIr, you are trying to see if you will be minister of health wit your hatred and malice you will never get there. When Linton went to Guyana and made a fool of himself what was the diagnosis?
I’ve pointed this out many times and here am I doing it again. When the DLP supporters have no defence to the truth, they resort to concocted stories about farcical events that were supposedly done by the members of the opposition many moons ago. Their first instinct is to accuse and vilify decent minded people. They are really pathetic.
Ibo MALAPROP France, history is an important subject taught at school. Why do you UWPites refer back to May 29, 1979 so much then? Well what the opposition and its Leader has done many moons ago is important too because the first thing that comes to your mind and the rest like you is to accuse and vilify Skerrit and the Government to suit you ALLS’ agenda. Ain’t you really pathetic too?
It is interesting that stories are always concocted about LENNOX LINTON and what he says is always the truth. If such is the case, why was not the decision of the PRIVY COUNCIL RULING against he LENNOX LINTON different?
@mine
Skerrit says “”I run things in Dominica””…..
The diagnosis was that Caricom is a waste of time, a boys club that does not care about the Caribbean people
Any grouping, organisation, body , institution that refuses to listen to a Dominican re the wicked rule that has been obtained on island under the leadership of Skerrit is in itself a failure..
Skerrit Must Go
Skerrit Must Go
Lazy Skerrit Must Go Now
When a leader, especially of a country, overstays his time in office, he becomes narcissistic, dictatorial, mendacious and corrupt. His only concern is to retain power by any means. He becomes megalomaniacal. His sense of importance becomes overly inflated. For a leader to pontificate for the whole world to hear that ‘I alone run things in Dominica’ clearly shows that he has lost complete touch with reality. His statement means that no Minister, no Permanent Secretary, no Civil Servant, in fact, no Dominican has a part in the decision making process in Dominica. This can only come from a person with serious mental issues. Dr. Pascal , I wish to commend you for coming out and speaking truth to power. Too many influential Dominicans remain deafening silent despite the errant ways of Dr.² Skerrit’s pronouncements and bizarre antics. Bad governments are allowed to exist when people of influence remain stoic.
Edison said they had their own court
The unfortunate gaffe by the PM should have been laid to rest a while ago. We have bigger fish to fry on this Nature Isle by the sea.
With elections fast approaching, our energy needs to be focused squarely on which candidates have the wherewithal to effectively lead (not run) our nation over the next five years.
Stop beating the “Run Things” dead horse and let your mind percolate on matters which are relevant to you, you family and our country.
I disagree, the “I run things” horse is alive and well. In fact, it means everything in this elections. For years Skerrit has been imposing his desires upon us as lord and supreme leader without us suspecting a thing. In the excitement of the rally, he let it slip what he is really about. Domination. This cannot be taken for granted or we will find ourselves years from now begging the US president to rescue us. Vote him out now! Skerrit must Go!
Are you really suggesting that it does not matter what the P.M. says, that we must not take him at his word? I think the PM. Will be the first one to disagree with that. I think he is dead serious but can not separate fact from fiction.
As long as Skerrit remains as the Prime Minister of Dominica, the ‘I alone run things’ asinine statement will stay alive and will be engraved in the minds of all Dominicans. The two are now inseparable. Every time a see Sherrie, the ridiculous utterance will come to mind. Such an egotistical charlatan only thinks about self. The country and its people are only there for him to exploit to advance himself and his family. He has already shown conspicuous signs of this by handpicking his wife as a candidate for the upcoming elections. If Mr. Skerrit were not the Prime Minister, there is no way any leader would have recruited Melissa Skerrit as a political candidate to contest any election.
don’t forget to do one on linton
skerrit talks about me me me and I
lennox always refer to his team
what else you want de Dr to write for you to feel good about your self and party?
“Doctor Pascal Sir, what attracted me from that story as is the line above; human philosophy is not for me. “(Elizabeth Xavier).
Elizabeth, I knew it would not take very long before you exposed your lack of intelligence, and lack of academics.
As far as I am concern, Pascal is not into simple philosophy as you conceived; if you had any real scholastic or academic education you might be able to discern, or actually understand what Pascal conveyed is a psychological profile of Roosevelt Skerrit.
Pascal has stripped Roosevelt of his wolf clothing, and left him standing naked exposing his inner way of thinking.
There is a vast difference between philosophy, and psychology okay!
“Sir, what attracted me from that story”(Elizabeth).
I wonder if it was your intention to write detracted, or distracted? Since detracted means; causing someone, or something to be distracted or “diverted from.”
Such as taking your attention away from something!
Telemaque, what you accept about me is that I have the weight of wisdom, understanding, and knowledge of Life, that you will ever have. It is my gift from God.
Notice that Pascal denounced his theory, by his scholastic education, saying that “In Dominica, Nature Isle–, “Everything Bless and Jah, only Jah Run Things”; The answer to his question: “Who runs things in Dominica?”
So tell me, who did Pascal stripped out of his “wolf clothing”, your idea; Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit, or God/Jah, Himself?
I have already said: God is Spirit and He needs a physical medium to do His work, including a donkey, which He used to discipline the man Balark, the donkey belonged to Balark himself.
Yes, I agree with Pascal: “God/Jah runs things in Dominica, by the Person of PM Skerrit and his governing body.
You, and him, can never understand; even if Pascal said it himself; for you think your “scholastic education” is what stands; but how foolish!
I wonder if it was your intention to write detracted, or distracted? Telemaaque
Why would I say distracted? If I was distracted I wouldn’t respond to the article.
The whole story distracted me until I got to that last line, which attracted my attention.
That problem with you is that you have no reading comprehension, how on Earth did you attain that “scholastic education” which you are claiming
The line attracted me in that the message is presented with the question: “Who runs things in Dominica”? Closing with: “In Dominica, Nature Isle–, “Everything Bless and Jah, only Jah Run Things”. That was after he used “his scholastic education” to describe PM Skerrit’s mentality.
If God is running things in Dominica, by His own Spiritual self, why would He allow the majority of the people to raise PM Skerrit above Himself–that cannot happen!
PM Skerrit is the mediator between God and Dominicans to do His work on their behalf.
OMG! Now I’ve heard it all. Skerrit is the mediator between God and Dominicans to do his work on his behalf??? So your beloved crime minister is also the Pope or the archbishop of Dominica. Next thing you will demand to have his picture in any place of worship in DA. Woman, you are completely insane and now you gave us all the proof we needed!!
You might as well leave it alone Elizabeth; because the more you write, it’s the more you make yourself look stupid!
All you are saying here has nothing to do with Irving psychoanalytical analyst of Roosevelt Skerrit!
It is Good to know about God, nevertheless; God gave us all different abilities, and knowledge to survive in this world.
That is why he gave medical doctors the ability to function in different fields of medicine; he gave us psychiatrist like me cousin Dr. Griffin Benjamin to treat people who are delusional and mentality ill.
I know you will ask how Griffin manage to be me cousin too; well doh asked; his grandmother, his father mother is my biological aunt; she was born “Telemaque” okay!
Now, since you are the only person endowed with all the knowledge of God, clap yourself on your shoulder, and leave politics to those of us who understands it.
I tell you now God is not into politics, he did not appoint Roosevelt to rule Dominica!
I have come the conclusion that we neither love nor respect ourselves in Dominica. In countries where leaders are held accountable for their actions, even the mere allegation of corruption, illegality or distasteful behavior is enough to send them packing. Not in Dominica though, oh no no no. Our leaders can be accused, even caught with both hands in the cookie jar, yet nothing is done. We just continue on with our day like nothing happened. This amazes me. The comfortable pillow called Dominicans has given rise to leaders, like Mr. Skerrit, who believe themselves to beyond reproach thus giving him the idea that he runs everything and everyone and is therefore not required to adhere to the rules.
A constant chant on Q95 by repetitive callers “One Man Government” What exactly does that mean?.
“One Man Government” What exactly does that mean?.
Very simple, its a one man government. He pulls the strings, he is not leadership material. He lacks the knowledge and intelligence of socio-economic development. Has no knowledge of what and how does “poverty” and “corruption” (that is rampant in Dominica 19 years now) in government affects our poor people and island under his watch, if that he can see clearly.
Appears to buy loyalty to stay in power with limited strength in the development of a very poor island. This one man government has so called weird and upfront acolytes who prepares his scripts and other matters for him to go public. The worse Prime (Odd) Minister Dominica has seen. This failed Skerrit knows absolutely nothing of development. He is like on leach (woof. Woof) lead by some nefarious political misfits and gangsters themselves don`t care of Dominica and Dominicans themselves but may be benefiting from handouts from weird acolytes passing on the brunch of…
One man government means you have a dictator. no need to hold elections.
Out of 32 comments 1 political leader wrote 7 under different disguises, who has the symptoms? If I become ill there is no need to see you because I would be misdiagnosed. As I male I would be told I am pregnant . It is ok to talk to yourself, but answering yourself. I am in control same prognosis.
Delusion of grandeur:
A is the false belief in one’s own superiority, greatness, or intelligence. People experiencing delusions of grandeur do not just have high self-esteem; instead, they believe in their own greatness and importance even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Dr. Pascal, unfortunately I can not disagree with you. A Hubris syndrome is not necessarily linked to mental illness. In this case, however it appears to be fueled by psychopatic character traits, that are innate and not clinically treatable and will always manifest themselves, resurface, no matter the treatment suggested, or applied by psychologists or psychiatrists. Cases like these never have a happy ending.
“Dominica, Nature Isle of the World, “Everything Bless and Jah, only Jah Run Things”. News article
My other observation in this article is: If we know that God runs things in DA, what is the reason for shooting at PM Skerrit and his government, for all those made-up ills which are spoken of by the opposition?
In with one breathe you are claiming that “Jah runs things in Dominica” and with that same breath, you are denying His work, speaking left, right, up, down, black, and blue about how bad Dominica has become under the rulership of PM Skerrit who indeed, is the controller under God’s command?
So you have pointed a truth that you do not understand, for if you did, you would not do that to close your line of reasoning–oh my!
God uses people to do His work, for the comfort and relief for all of us. Obedience and trust is our key to His glory in Love. You put down the work of PM Skerrit, then you put down God’s work–bottom line!
“My other observation in this article is: If we know that God runs things in DA, what is the reason for shooting at PM Skerrit and his government, for all those made-up ills which are spoken of by the opposition?” Skerrit is a failure big time. He running here there and everywhere in fear with fake people like a lady called Elizabeth J.D who is way out of understanding the concept of social-economic development. We are listening to the lies and deception right now on Q 95c with Matt, where Skerrit has gone years back where he`s fake composure again keep saying every year for the past 10 years to build an airport and he always says that “I will tell the public later where we are with this…”. Well Skerrit, you are nowhere with nothing and its all empty belching low standard irrelevant talk. You will fool your inner circles Skerrit but not us here at the Financial Centre. Skerrit , please go and take your fake immature failed Labour government with you. We welcome Hon Linton, UWP…
@viewsexpressed and the whole heap of you, UWPites here, no matter what you all say, you are speaking against the idea of Mr. Pascal, who declares that “God runs things in Dominica” So why are you all blaming you all’s dissatisfaction on PM Skerrit?
For according to Pascal, what is happening in Dominica is beyond his control; he is not the one running things; it is God, by Himself.
And by the way, should Linton become the Prime Minister –God forbid this–who will be running things in Dominica, especially that things will become a nightmare there? God or Linton?
Lady, you are as delusional as Roosevelt Skerrit himself by saying that he is the controller under God’s command. You really believe that? Roosevelt Skerrit is a mere human being, not chosen by God to do His works but elected by Dominicans to work in the interest of all of us. He is not without sin, like all of us and has no special entitlement.
Please, come back down to earth before you become like Icarus son and fly too close too the sun with him and crash to nothing because of vanity.
@Pipo the only person who is delusional is you because you are denying what Pascal said: I repeat: “In Dominica Nature Isle–Jah, only Jah run things”.
How do you explain what he means, since you all are still trying to take PM Skerrit to the guillotine because you are dissatisfied with the work in Dominica–which, according to Pascal is God’s work? Toneh!
If God; the God that I serve hand pick Roosevelt to serve over Dominica, and the people of Dominica; then I must confess, that God must be punishing the nation for some specific reason.
In that case I submit God must have put a curse on our country: If Elizabeth is correct, then she is confirming that God plays politics, and indeed condones corruption; thievery and victimization of the people.
I am a sinful man; however a believer in the Trinity, God the Father Jehovah, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Ghost).
God does not have any interest in poverty; and people suffering in poverty in a poor nation such as ours.
If God appointed Roosevelt to rule over Dominica, our country would be compelled to be the wealthiest place on the planet!
Our economy would not be based on the sale of passports to criminals whom have never set foot in Dominica, nor know the geographic location of Dominica.
There would be industrious; jobs for the people!
I am a sinful man! Telemaque
Those are your words, not mine! That is the reason everything you speak is about your natural self, your mind is carnal, you do not know the God of Life and His ways in Love–so you need to shut-up!
“If Elizabeth is correct, then she is confirming that God plays politics, and indeed condones corruption; thievery and victimization of the people”.
So what is Pascal confirming when he said that: “In Dominica, Nature Island, Jah, only Jah runs things”?
That is what proves your stupidity that you have no reading comprehension because you never read what is placed before you, before you react to the message, making a great fool of yourself.
You claim to agree with Pascal’s message, but you are ridiculing his conclusion, thinking that it is my idea.
Even if I agree with him, on curtains terms, those words are his, not mine! Learn to read the message that is placed before you, then respond to it.
All I say to you – Where the leader has no vision the people perish. Keep being selective in you application of your doctrine/belief and it will catch up with you.
“Where the leader has no vision the people perish..” Namely referred to as failed, immature, immature, incompetent Skerrit.
Countryman; Go tell that Female Blind Clown called Elizabeth. She is one of those blind followers of failed incompetent Skerrit and his failed corrupt idiotic Labour Government.
We look forward to receiving the decent Hon Lennox Linton and his highly professional UWP Team. Skerrit must Go, he has been this failure and extremely immature. Where I sit on this floor (?), We are fedup of receiving all these deceiving and ridiculous puppet fake tales from upstairs, PM`s office and so called acolytes. Skerrit is this immature, flamboyant, worse Prime Minister in Dominica. Skerrit falls in the failed highly corrupt league of failed heads of state of the likes of: Pol Pot, Baby Doc and Papa Doc (Haiti), where they have ruined their beautiful countries & like Skerrit reduced the people of Dominica to poverty & begging at the Red Clinic Palace. Shame Skerrit-Go away.
“My other observation in this article is: If we know that God runs things in DA, what is the reason for shooting at PM Skerrit and his government, for all those made-up ills which are spoken of by the opposition?”
Elizabeth, because Satan, the Red fireball bad man in the pack, is dangerous to the people and the public. This scenario reflects on your own surroundings and failed Labour government. Time to wake and go get a life of one of decency and good governance. Time to repent and account on the Bin Bobol and The Fertlizer Bobol, by your own company, where your pack of failed labour government people are in deep denial. Meanwhile the people and country is in a Skerrit mess. No jobs, no bananas exported to the UK, no limes just DLP lies and excuses. I know so from where I sit at the Financial Centre. Real destruction, poor governance, from a very immature Odd Mininister and worthless 19 ministers. You`ll are failures
By the way Elizabeth recall that Satan don`t, cannot forgive…
@Viewsexpress “because Satan, the Red fireball bad man in the pack, is dangerous to the people and the public”.
So you do believe that Satan uses man to do his work of wickedness and evil, who is also a person of spirit, meaning that he has no physical features to use to do those disgusting and deplorable things–according to you, his person in Dominica is “the Red fireball bad man in the pack”
Why then, do you deny that God, who is also a Person of Spirit, is using PM Skerrit, as His moderator to do His work in Dominica for the sake of social and economic development there?
I will continue to say that I agree with Pascal according to his final statement; but with all that diagnosis of PM Skerrit’s character, he has condemned his own theory. Bottom Linr
Thank you IP! As my Jamaican friends would say “Cure soon come man”.
It’s nice to hear from a real doctor while people like melo mills who supposed to know better celebrate and worship a fake doctor as if they themselves are inferior and of lower standing to their almighty PM. I mean how can so called educated people like melo mills and facially challenged capitolin be fooled by a bipolar, narcissistic fake doctor who every three months has 5 sets of investors with drawn plans for an international airport?
A bit too cerebral for the masses IP but the orange orangutan immediately came to mind. (DT)! Well written, I sense some frustration in your expectation of better things to come. I long ago gave up on hope for the better and have moved onto greener pastures. But in a democracy, the people get the government they deserve, they elect them. Nevertheless, I wish you good luck and vote you for minister of health.
Dr. Pascall: Everything you listed based on Dr. David’s theory to prove Mr. Skeritt’s political illness of position may sound uncanny but is actually a bullet list of Dr David’s long stint as a politician… The man was in touch with himself and good of him to be transparent though wearing a psychiatric “mask”; pointing away.
Where was this long commentary, when Edison as Prime Minister said he was in charge?
Is Edison James the head of the current opposition? Take your time to think carefully about that instead of being desperate.
Maybe we should even speak about Patrick John and the DLP since we are going back to previous PM who are nowhere contesting political seats this coming election nor the last? Nowhere will you see Eddison James on any ballots, so what is your point when bringing him up when Patrick John had tried to sell our country to KKK members and tried to start a coup? PJ was sent to stockfarm prison for how much decades. so what is your point about bringing up Edison James? We are not living in the past, we are dealing with our current government and our current opposition.
Anon, because there was no substance to it, and there is no way that you, absolutely no way that you are able to or can compare Hon Eddison James` character, intellectual and decency to that of this failed immature, little boy Skerrit. Skerrit is a failure and he brought it to himself. Rather than position himself to those of intellectual and know how, he embraces a bunch of misfits who frequently call Kairi and DBS with silly protective talk nothing to do with the upliftment of Skerrit and development of our ailing Dominica, with a poison and trauma created by this failed incompetent, untrained so called doctor. Skerrit has bestowed witty some kind of doctor (Ductored somehow) and he is yet to understand this due to his immature little boy mentality and he believes that he is or has done good to himself, let alone the people of Dominica. This man Skerrit must go, he has been a failure and waste of time.
We welcome Hon Lennox Linton and his credible, professional UWP Team.
Anon was a lady in warner which died years ago.so tell me anon why are you playing alive? I was at your funeral…stop playing alive anon wen infact you are dead…i will warn totote with you..go back to your grave now
Anon, this is the problem with blind supporters of the PM as yourself. You quickly delve into the past to make false assertions. Even if something adverse was done by another administration, we should learn from it and don’t venture there again. It’s okay to make mistakes but we must learn from them and should not repeat same. Your argument is null and void. Come again with something substantive to trouble the intellect.
Doctor Pascal, can you PLEASE write a commentary of the same on : I AM IN CHARGE.
This is the diagnosis of Hubris SYNDROME in Edison
Aanon, because there was no substance to it, and there is no way that you, absolutely no way that you are able to or can compare Hon Eddison James` character, intellectual and decency to that of this failed immature, little boy Skerrit. Skerrit is a failure and he brought it to himself. Rather than position himself to those of intellectual and know how, he embraces a bunch of misfits who frequently call Kairi and DBS with silly pritective talk nothing to do with the upliftment of Skerrit and development of our ailing Dominica, with a poison and trauma created by this failed incompetent, untrained so called doctor. Skerrit has bestowed witty some kind of doctor (Ductored somehow) and he is yet to understand this due to his immature little boy mentality and he believes that he is or has done good to himself, let alone the people of Dominica. This man Skerrit must go, he has been a failure and waste of time.
Poor this Kid stuck on the Block! When on earth will he be graduated to the level of “Manhood”, rather than out there wasting time playing with his school “Balls” game, his parents bought him years ago. This is 2019 your childish Kid you are, wake up the politics of today is decency and country comes first, not corrupt, immature, failed, faked Bobolistic Prime Minister like you who has reduced our Dominica and its struggling people to one of no regards, to one of poverty and rather than jobs created the Red Corrupt insulting Clinic and other Bobolistic behavior, reducing our decent people to suffering, begging, disrespectful and inhuman. This Corrupt failed PM must go and Skerrit needs to take his irrelevant ridiculous so called supporters who write alot of BS nonsense that they have failed to realise represent the behaviour and failure of their own failed irresponble childish, immature, clueless of development of this so called Odd Minister.
We welcome Hon, Linton and decent…
You dont need a Doc to write that its preschool level. knowing skerit followers dont have much brain cells let me help you. Edison said it and lost the election. figure out what is going to happen to skerrit. Doc is busy he doesnt have time for your level.
A manager is in charge…so wat…but its jah dat run tings..
How is your rabbis developing?
Leadership starts with God, Sir. Leaders are designated and are placed in authority over us by God. Those of us who are God fearing must respect them while they are in office. Do not incite the public by publicly diagnosing our leader based on the negative political views he had for others in his country who had reached the highest office in the land..Like we say, if our two cents means nothing to them why should we apply their two pence to the propensity of our leader, Mr Skerritt.
He was socialist minded. A political gangster. He was an opportunist who toiled, and upturned every ”stone” and in the end, did not emerge as supreme leader of his party or government.
Mr Baxter by character or by habit is a political deserter, a rebel rouser, a political gangster. A flaw that denied him of reaching the pinnacle of power in London. Never mind his illustrious resume. His findings, Dr. Baxter, is based on jealousy, wrong decision making as a party member, and the fact that in his…
Do not use this man’s yardstick to measure and diagnose our/your Prime Minister publicly. If you were his psychiatrist or doctor you could not violate doctor patient privilege by disclosing his “illness” to the public. Well, you are neither.
“Only Jah runs things!” Your statement not mine. Jah designated him, Dr Pascal. Men, women were moved to vote. All about the Breadth of Life – that’s the connection.
What’s wrong with a little big-headedness. Aren’t we all guilty in our social behavior, with family, friends, classmates, peers. We are not Kings, nor Presidents, nor Prime Ministers. God knows us all very, very, well. Just remember Jesus standing before Herod and his accusers. No sweat! Small Ting Man! Got it?
Some religious people are truly crazy
Amen to that!!!
“Everything Bless and Jah, only Jah Run Things”. News Article
Doctor Pascal Sir, what attracted me from that story as is the line above; human philosophy is not for me.
You are right, but wait! How is God/Jah running things in Dominica, for He has a Spiritual body?
Can you see a spirit? Do you know the voice of a spirit? Can you shake hands with a spirit? Do I hear “NO!”
You all need to understand that God needs a physical medium to do His work–that is the reason for Jesus, the Son–right from the beginning.
Even if PM Skerrit did not specify, he once confirmed it when he said that “he is a disciple of Jesus”–but you all did not understand him either.
And you ignorantly confirmed it, right after you wrote that book above–God/Jah runs things in Dominica but by the person of PM Skerrit and his governing body.
Satan is a spirit too; he does his work just as God does, except that his work is wickedness and evil. Be careful!
Elizabeth, you either are blind or unable to comprehend the bigger picture. You are right, but wait! How is God/Jah running things in Dominica, for He has a Spiritual body? I am telling what you write 90% laugh out (LOL) at you and the rest dismiss what you write because relating to a failed PM and crippling Dominica you script is useless, not analytic but to get people personally and not the message you are unable to comprehend. The same weakness with your failed incompetent Skerrit. He must go. Go away, Get lost. You have nothing of substance to write about. Skerrit – “Go to hell, Go to Hell, Go to Hell, its our damn business to protect our nature island. You are the worse Prime Minister Dominica has seen. Go away, Get lost.
We await our leader in waiting Hon Lennox Linton and is highly professional UWP Tea. God Bless and Guide them richly.
@viewsexpressed, go away now! You have said enough. It is a waste of time for you and me to go into combat on DNO. I will always fire against you and you against me, and there will never be a final victor, so what is the point?
Who is the disciple of Jesus there? Skerrit? You don’t know Skerrit. He only allows you see what he wants you to see. Lennox Linton knows him very well and keeps warning us of the evil man, but some of you won’t take heed. You won’t listen to Lennox because he doesn’t come in the package you’re expecting. Thank God, some of us have seen the light, your time will come.
Broadly thinking.you know you have genuine complaint and visited various offices with no joy.Which office would contact you and said, there is a problem about this or that I want you to solve it.
The PM OFCOURSE
Before you bring your medication and medical prognosis, listen to the street talk. In case you are not familiar with the term , this is actually the lyrics of a Song Song composed by Jam Band from St. Thomas or Daddy Friday in the 90s. Jam Band states, Run ting, we run ting meaning What? There are buses in DA that have the same term, I run tings, did you give them a prognosis? You people are so petty and small minded. GROW UP, when my husband express the term, we just laugh. Run tings,
I run tings in Dominica. No he doesn’t. He could had even said we run tings to show solidarity. Dominicans like you all just like a set of roro so nonsense like that is acceptable. Quit letting your affiliation make a fool of you.
Dear Bro Eipigh
I endorse this message. The diagnosis was bang on as was the prescription: out with Iritis! But that precise diagnosis is to be expected from a real doctor not the double doctor.
But Doctor, in your own humble understanding I am sure you know in what context the Prime Minister spoke, so your utterance here speaks of some form of hatred for the Prime Minister and an Anti- Government statement that you wish to gain support for. We all know Jah run things, but it was not an angel who told Mr. SKERRIT stop meeting the public servant but rather it was Mr. Letang. So the Prime Minister’s response was consistent. I hate it when smart thinking people like u would come so. Low to show support for your Party.
Oh, you are not wise at all. The PM is clearly a narcissist and meets sufficient criteria to be diagnosed as such. Please read the criteria without bias.
Hate when people like you showcase your intellectual dishonesty. Skerrit should NOT be saying that to a union leader and anywhere else in the world its a case of micromanagement: an early sign of dictatorship control. Read between the lines where he’d boast so passionately about that single statement which to him bears significance and quit letting your affiliation fool you. Context is everything as you said
I am sincerely hoping that this was a mistake comment coming from this Lawrence Ettiene. Lawrence we have that right as Tax payers and citizens to observe our leaders and government to comment on their irregularities and corrupt Bobol behaviour. From the point of decency in public office, that is our government. Have you Lawrence address the Bin & Fertlizer Bool and misuse and abuse of states resources via the Red Clinic and administered by this failed PM Skerrit. This practice is not allowed and should be administered by the Welfare Division where there are committed civil servants in the name of Welfare Officers who visit family homes in need, do an assessment and then address the matter accordingly after they have conducted assist where possible. That kind of decorum, discipline relating to states resources that you blind incompetent Friends of Skerrit that failed Pm, illiterate about is how these matters of good governance is done. Skerrit abuses this. He must Go, also ministers.
Lawrence Ettienne we all know in what context you are responding, but I wont even say it here, it wont be printed. I see you getting personal on facebook but close your closet door first. Remember you are in no moral position to utter the things you say so watch it.
Ditto dr. Pascal.
Doh the moon is many million miles away..skerro yo kar fan choo moon…doc please time for injection i mean election…he need a cure..if you love the pm then vote him out .
Dr. IP, now that you have don your psycho analysis of Skerrit I’m waiting on a non bias analysis on Linton. I will withhold my comments until them. Lets’s see who is politically motivated. I wonder if you thought the same when Eddie said, “Im in charge”.
When Linton take the hot seat we will hold him to account also, don’t worry. Right now that is not him being the Prime Minisrter but Roosevelt Skerrit that must give account to us.
Well i have been calling on those who say thst they love him (Skerrit) to take him to the doctor, but to no avail.
In the meantime, things are running wild..The saddest thing though, is that those close to him,cheer and jump at his preposterous and reckless pronouncements.. Even so called candidates on stage were cheering when, like an imbecile he stuttered incoherently “”Tell Letang, I run things in Dominica”””..Really!!!
I cringed at the idiocy which pervades this man’s head, as he nears his wicked rule as PM!!

Nice article Dr. Pascal. I smiled right through as I pictured the P.M displaying all nine attributes highlighted. Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.
Mr. Brisbane, on Q95, told Dominicans a few years ago, Skeritt was suffering from Hubris Syndrome. They were so captivated by his pretty face and dimples or because he isn’t a medical doctor, they never believed him. I am happy a medical doctor his suggesting the same medical conditions.
