Thompson Fontaine, who is presently facing a lawsuit from the legal team of Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit, said all he wants is his day in court.
Speaking on Q95’s Matt in the Morning, Fontaine said he will not retract nor will he issue any apologies for what he said concerning the sale of Dominica’s passports.
“I want my day in court,” he said. “I will not retract, I will not keep quiet because what I have written is the truth.”
The prime minister’s legal team has demanded that Fontaine pay $250,000 in compensation and has given him 14 days to retract the allegations and apologize. The team said the government believes Fontaine is the source of claims that PM Skerrit was involved in the sale of a Dominican passport to Darwood Ibrahim, a notorious Indian national.
Thompson said he received a notification from attorney-at-law Lennox Lawrence, who wrote on the behalf of the prime minister, yesterday but considered it a ‘waste of time.’
“I will not in anyway respond, don’t expect me to respond, take me to court,” he stated. “I am anxious to go to court.”
Boy look row row in Dominica. All I’m hereing is lawsuits and charges towards the opposition Wake up Dominicans wherever you are. Isn’t this government.Supposed to be working to fix our country after Ericka? It’s about time we start working on bridges to give back st.vincent their metal bridges Lots of people crying they are not working no money lots of things not selling. Isn’t it time for this government should work for the people? Instead of all these none sense.
Nonsense! We out there hating each other for politic. By that time our country is going downhill and or most of our citizens have nothing to eat because of no work in the country. let’s help to better our country.

Is the same sh** that keep happening after those men want people help when they lose their case
Lol
Thompson Im not taking cover n firing.I’m standing right in the open cause i got a metal jacket on. Try to concentrate on something new cause this story will die sooner than Skerrit loyalists think. he will never advise Lennox to proceed at court with this. Cause IT’S TRUE.
By the way’ who iss this other rep of skerrit who said if it is true, he will ask skerrit to resign? seems u are the one who got him there still. I know u got info for us. I know , u sound like a big boss in d force.
Peace brother thompson…..andrew
I have had the occassion to interface with the PM in the “recent past” and find him VERY engaging and a fairly decent and honest gentleman. Meeting with him gave me a deeper appreciation for his humanity and fallibility as a mere man. I am not at all claiming that the man is perfect and has not made mistakes in his tenure, WE HAVE ALL done at one point or the other.
I have had the previledge of being very candid with the PM on certain issues and contrary to popular belief the man is VERY approachable and understanding. I have “held him accountable” on certain matters and he was also OK with that and responded appropriately.
I am not merely writing in defence of Hon. Roosevelt Skerrit but more so in defence of DOMINICA. I have written several reactions to the “many parts; I, II, III”etc on the weeklyblitz website and unfortunately none past their litmus test and were barred from being posted.
My problem with these “bltiz people” and the famous Jeremy Sinclair et al is the fact that they cast SO MANY UMSUBSTANTIATED ASPIRSIONS at the PM’s reputation and more so the good name of this country. Whilst this is an OVERT plan and operation to “take Skerrit down at any cost” it is really damaging the image of the country. These people make so many allegations and have not offered one “inch” of proof to link Mr. Skerrit directly with any of the falsehoods that they are claiming. I see these “frontal attacks” as a total travesty and shameful SMEAR CAMPAIGN in attempt to distablize a government and an other wise very stable nation. Why seek to birate the PM/Government in the court of public opinion where there are avenues and better forums and measures to better handle the alledged atrocities. In the absence of COMPELLING EVIDENCE and proof BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT we the people have no alternative but to stand behind the PM and his “rogue regime”, because ROGUE must not be a matter of opinion, speculation or perception but must be a matter of fact!, that we are YET to see……
Further I have made the observation that the vast majority of guys “comming out of the woodwork” to condemn Skerrit are people who seems to have fallen out with him over one thing or another. We have heard about the Christian brothers and the GEOTHERMAL AMBITIONS, the former chief justice and his REHAB CENTRE INTENSIONS and the many businessmen who have grown bitter over the fact that Skerrit blatantly refuse to approach them for campaign or any other sort of financing and thus they feel “out of the loop”. My friends Dominica’s is ours to build and lets remain on task in building a GREAT Dominica for all. At the appropriate time the “chips will fall where they may” but let us not seek to destroy one man simply because he has not given into our WHIMS AND FANCIES.
On a personal note I have “fallen out with the PM and his cabinet colleagues” but one must learn to seperate the issues and move away from personbality clashes and idiosyncracies. Let’s do it for the country!
This is so true, they think that they are hurting Skerrit but they’re bringing down their own country. This need to stop, there’s a time and place for everything. They are talking all the talk but when comes for proof there’s none. If all these allegations that are being said are really happening then the matter should be taken to court not to q95 or DBS or Kairi or any of the othe medias out there. That’s just plain nonsense and this got to stop. The whole world is listening for crying out loud.
The American Government will not forsake thompson. He will definiteely get all their backing and will provide him with all the intelligence he needs for the case.
Q95 is just a place where the UWP supporters and ministers go to have their DRAMA on national radio. It’s a Damn shame that these people can’t be more profesional SMH… and these people want to run a country? I can imagine if they get a chance what’s going to happen to Dominica. It sure won’t be “THE NATURE ISLE” anymore, it’s going to be “THE ISLAND OF DRAMA”
@SMH – it is so sad that gone are the days of WIBS with the great Jeff Charles, Barnett Defoe and Francis Andre and DBS with Dennis Joseph. Today, Radio has become not what it was intended for.
tell me about it, instead of trying to help the people they on radio talking nonsence and they want to run the country? If Sherrit have to be removed and they have to be placed in to run the country they need a NEW team. These people are too childish and they need to stop running their mouths like little girls and STOP being like pre-schoolers.
Pawol pour rire.
*All the world is a stage and everyone has their part…* what a show..Dr. Fontaine…intents are usually good methods questionable…im going to be one of the members of the audience…ill be watching…
Hello my nature islanders and other readers, is that the way we support??? Then that is a dangerous trend that we are setting. Let me say a few things to all of us: Dr Fontaine made a statement and he better have the proof to present to the Court for the statement that he made and all of you who are trying to make him a hero wait for the day he wants in court BUT prepare to weep with him as he faces the system that ONLY deals with facts. Questions: does Fontaine have the Passport, a copy of its pages with the photo of the person who the passport was allegedly sold to? does Fontaine have the documentation that MUST be issued to the Immigration Dept to have that passport printed??? does Fontaine have anything to present to the Court to support the statement that he made publicly and which he seem to convice a lot of you is a fact? If he does then I will ask the PM to resign if he does not then he better stop placing poker chips on the table without having the cards to win the game. Dr Fontaine has laid all his POKER CHIPS ON THE TABLE SO NOW HE BETTER DISPLAY THE CARDS THAT HE GOT OR ELSE. Dr Fontaine is saying that when the matter goes to Court then all the information on the ECONOMIC CITIZENSHIP PROGRAMME will be exposed. The brilliant doctor seem not to understand the way the COURT SYSTEM WORKS. DR FONTAINE WILL BE THE ONE WHO WILL BE REQUIRED TO PRESENT HIS PROOF THAT THE ALLEGED PASSPORT EXIST AND NOT THE PM AS HE IS THE ONE THAT MADE THE STATEMENT. He made a very loose and dangerous statement which linked Dominica and its leader to a known world terrorists and you guys think that this is a joke and you making all sorts of irrelevant statements in this medium. I would like all the Dr Fontaine supporters to advise your so called patriotic and honest Dr to get his documentation ready to present to the Judge or else he will be walking out of the court with his Dr, Certificate in shreds and owing a huge sum of money for his recklessness. stupes.
I hope the Doc is not a Mat
NO BODY CAN WIN THE PM IN COURT BECAUSE IS HE THA THE BIG BOSS OF DA GOOD LUCK …..
SO HE THINKS
So was Gaddafi and Sadam
AND YR MOUTH ALSO
TELL ME HOW CAN I GET DOMINICA PASSE-PORT FOR MY CHILDRE BECAUSE THEY A FRENCH,DO I HAVE TO PAY UNDERTABLE FOR IT.AM DOMINICA AND MY CHILDREN DON’T HAVE RIGHT BECAUSE THE HAVE A DIFFERENT NATIONALLITY
@THOMAS What are you trying. I think you lie on this you are playing the name game. you want noticeing if u are a DOMINICAN you already have yr children passports. Please go to church on SUNDAY and ask forgiveness is beff you want to make. GOOD BYE AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
The PM will not pursue this case, mark my words. There are too much empirical and inauspicious information to be revealed. He is not the type to shoot him in the leg. He is just trying a scare tactic.
I have had the privilege to meet Dr Fontaine and his lovely family recently. I was very impressed with his love and dedication to his homeland. I find him to be a an honest and compassionate individual. In the political arena in any country there is much mud thrown from all sides. I feel Dr Fontaine would not in good conscience accuse anyone of inappropriate conduct without the means to prove it to the world. Why would he wish to ruin his reputation and integrity by making false accusations. Let him have his day in court, do not judge until all the facts are known.
It’s very shamefull how some people can bash a hard working PM and glorify an unknown individual because of party politic.One can truly see the reason why it’s so difficult to move Dominica from the days of the ice age.God bless her and the PM.
Fontaine boy, I feel you swallow a zaboca seed this time. I hope you know how it going and come out.
well it is a very dirty job but somebody has to do it.
The truth has to be told.
hey mr.fontaine, i am with you but i hope what you are about. Some of our moths are bigger than it should be, i hope you did not bite more than you can chew.
Just for the recored I am not a UWP, labour or freedom supporter.
Not into politics just looking out for Dominica and Dominicans.
I personally think that we should allow the facts to be told and If our dear PM is not quilty of selling passports then we will find out, but I know Dr Fontaine and he is a credible man, if he says he has the facts he has them rest assure let the truth be told .We as Dominicans need to know .
What is true and what is fales?
Who is the lier?
On either side, the person that is making Dominica look bad, God is watching and he knows you.
Linton said the same thing.
Respect Linton boss…Linton is an honourable man.. Learn to be like him.
u have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME RIGHT….jeeese ..who are you trying to convince youself or the genpop?
Dr Fontaine i would give you an A+ for the answer that you gave to the corrupt cabal… LOVE YOU DOCTOR.!
Thank you Dr. Fontaine, you are one of the few Domincans who cannot be bought by the dirty money that has been used to purchase political power in Dominica.Thanks for standing for the right of Dominicans.
EVERY BODY IS NICE AND HONEST UNTIL THE GET
WHAT THEY WANT. THEY CHANGE SO FAST LIKE BAD
MILK IN COFFEE.
Is like lime juice in milk.
We talk about illigal passports like is a first time thing in Dominica. Lets go down memory lane.. under the UWP when our passports were sold, resulting in passports being sold to criminals hence the reason we have to obtain visas to Canada today.. hence we forget.
DOES THAT MAKE IT RIGHT?
always that same B.S response,”does that make it right”. when it is wrong, say it is wrong, regardless of party affiliation. too much political games
you re so correct,, but i was not right then and it is not right now. Remember politician looking for their pocket and that’s it. I do not know why we do not fire the worthless politican after all the are working for us ,we are the ones paying them (well at least some of them) some of them getting money from outside sources. But my friend it was and it still a dumb thing to do no matter which party is or was doing it. The Government should stop that Bull sh**t program.
If Dominicans had 1/3 of the guts the lybian have, thing would be much better here.
TWO WRONGS DONT MAKE IT RIGHT. IF THERE WAS WRONG DOING DURING WORKERS TIME IN OFFICE THEN LABOUR SHOULD INVESTIGATE AND PROSECUTE. IF THERE IS WRONG DOING NOW WHY SHOULDN’T FONTAINE INVESTIGATE AND EXPOSE IT…
You dominicans are just a bunch of hypocrites, calling on the radio and writing comments because you are not identified.
If Dr. Fontaine were to call a march tomorrow, how many of you would show up?
If elections were called and bribes were passed, 90% of you would accept the gifts.
So as far as Im concerned all of this bashing and back and forth cussing is just dominicans being dominicans. Like to run their mouths. Palay, palay, palay.
‘Behind you all the way’… MY FOOT!
man if you are reading this……please apologize if you cant prove what you’ve stated….you may be telling the truth but if you can’t prove it ….an apology is in no way admitting that you have lied or you were wrong…
i’m bursting my brain here wondering how you will be able to prove this….skerrit and his team on the other hand can cover thier track….
if all you have to go on is the passport number….well they PROBABLY recorded it under another name( the passport is in his name but it MAY HAVE BEEN recored under a fictitious name….so i read on
here] so what can you do…..the person does not exist……you can’t search for someone who don’t exist
you obiously can’t forcee them to find that person…….
Enough with you guys B.S… let the “evidence” speak. I want the truth to come out in the court of law if there is truth to be known. Afterall… i haven’t seen any evidence …i’ve heard allegations..but we all know how Dominicans chat alot with nothing to back it up…i say bring on the lawsuit…if he doesn’t want to disclose the hard facts NOW, then he’ll disclose it in court. I want the issue to go to court…let’s the true liar be exposed
man if you are reading this…..you may be speaking the truth…..but you may not be able to prove it….if only lie detector tests were admissilble in the court of law……………..please apologize if you know that you can’t prove wwhat you are saying……….this is in no way saying that you are wrong or you have lied
Dr. Fountain I know you better than that to even think you will to Astapan and them scare tactit. These guys are on the run and their poolytricks is begining to crumble.
I have one problem with their poorlytricks…I know they will not take it to the court as metioned by Tony. They had a simple case with Matt and just to avoid the public, they settled with him in secret so you expect them to deal with Dr. Fountain, a man who lives and works in the USA, dealing with FBI where information is revealed?
These guys scared of taking local Dominicans to court because they know the day they try that would be their last day in the parliament because they would open cans upon cans of worms that would cause all of Dominica to stink.
I have heard better birds sing.I heard something close to that when the bugging allegations were in the air here.I remember hearing something like”we have concrete evidence”.So let the ball roll and let us see what it is you have to tell.Be careful Mr.T.F,i hope you have concrete info.
Iheard more than that when thy took Matt to court for the truth, then they had to secretely settle with money under the table.
I RESPECT YOU DR FONTAINE..Keep on fighting for Waitikubukli.
Yeah Matt, what was that deal? You promised to tell us. We still waiting!
HEROIC WELCOME FOR FONTAINE’S RETURN BACK HOME PLEASE…Fontaine all the way !
As fron now i will be chanting DR FONTAINE FOR PM….I JUST LOVE HIM…for his LOVE OF COUNTRY…AND BOBOL FREE LIFE..!
Who is paying for all these legal battles? The people of Dominica Should demand accountability, and insist that not a cent be removed from the treasury to pay for legal fees that are of no or of little benefit to the well being of country.
The people of Dominica are not demanding accountability for anything even if they get slapped in the face. No wonder the country is the way it is right now.
Thompson has already presented his `evidence` `the man`s lawyer and friend has a passport so it`s likely that he has one too.`it`s circumstantial`. i wonder if that’s the evidence he`s taking to court.
I always lament at the fact that even amidst increase access to advance education, exposure to high speed and readily available information we still remain ignorant and dwell in the ways and tradition of our grand parents when it comes to selecting representatives of government. “ In the abundance of water the fool is still thirsty” When I read some comments clearly there are people who are just bone dry ignorant and truly are incapable of good rationalization and one can tell by the contents presented in their blogs. However there are educated people who for obvious reasons are clearly bent on distortion of facts and reasoning. How can an educated person with an independent mind and a 21 century demeanor accept any government be it UWP, DLP or DFP who is corrupt even by reasonable suspicions. As an intellect I cannot I find it very difficult to not conclude that this present administration unscrupulous at best. I’ve never voted for Tony Astaphan yet Tony Astaphan speaks to me on matters which in a working democracy should be done by the elected leader. I cannot help but to be suspicious and dubious of elected leaders who willing and dealing supposedly on my behalf yet the final deal is hidden and remain a secrete between the leader and outside agents. I can tolerate having to know only when a whistle blower sound the alert. I cannot tolerate the desultory and desperate reaction when every time allegations of malfeasance and misconduct is brought to the public my elected officials are asking for the evidence when in fact it is much easier to present the evidence that would nullify the allegations. To me something is wrong with that when the government works for me.
Thumbs up,
. .”every time allegations of malfeasance and misconduct is brought to the public my elected officials are asking for the evidence when in fact it is much easier to present the evidence that would nullify the allegations”
So Skerrit should just publish the documents which he read from last week . . I agree.
However, many people speaking on behalf of President Obama “in a working democracy” are selected not “elected”.
Also, If enough invalid allegations by the opposition are shown to be vicious lies, the even their valid allegation may become insignificant . . unfortunately.
well said you’ve summed up the long and short of it…
thompson was a hero for the failng economy under the labour party now his head under a red ax..hahaha something is gone wrong with that system.wow..
That is what the PM should be doing long time. Ralphy in Vincy shut down one of those beff and propaganda radio stations (like Q) simply with lawsuits. Sent them broke. People like Lennox, Matt, Angelo and now Thompson should be in and out of court everyday answering lawsuit claims.
That would surely keep them busy!!!!!
I think instead of shutting down Q95, your MOUTH deserves shutting, because it is preventing me from eating what i have in my hands,when you open it.! GO TO THE DENTIST AND EXTRACT THEM,THEN SHAKE WATER..
YOURE TOO RUDE LIKE WISE YOURS. RESPECT PPL
your system going down, there is no doubt about that. should hear what business people in the USA & england saying about dominica, uwp could have done a lot better in the past & we waiting to her from workers a way foward, but to tell your system is going down fast very fast, thay should be focusing on building the country for the past 10 years unemployment in dominica is over 30%
man this is nonsence dominica was never is this mess before we had wealth now its hard for every body in this place, NO MONEY COMEING IN BILL TO PAY.
Skerro hasbeen on the receiving end of a well orchestrated chatrcater assassination plot. In large measure he has not responded. Others have mostly responded for him. for his sielnce on many issues about him the opposition claim it represents his guilt. “Silence is consent they say”. Now thathe has decided to challenge those who has sought to killhis name and reputation,he is accused of stifling the media. Acting in a manner to prevent people form telling the truth.last week when he spoke, explaininghowthe Economic Citizenshipprogram is administered, what did they say? Skerrit lying. That is never so. Civil servants are lying and covering up for him. Well, Let it go to court. Let the chips fall where it might. The sad thing about this is that the court process might take all of five or six years to conclude as in the case with the bugging scandal. It is not new. For all the yeasr Eddo was PM, the court case with Mamo never saw the light of day. Should we say in hind sight that Eddo interefered with the justice system when he was PM? We need a swifter justice system.
Are you dr.Aaron
Look row row! “TRUTH”in Dominica right now is decided depending on which side of the fence you are when the episode comes out. The drama continues…….. Next episode will be rather interesting! Huh! Huh! Huh!
PAWOL POUR RIRE EPISODE
Please Thompson wait for your day in court and no out-of-court settlement PLEASE. Let the truth be told.
You have them trembling Dr Fontaine…I LIKE THAT….TOO MUCH BOBOL, AND CORRUPTION…Tell patriots when you will be returning, and keep ;on informing us the breaking bad news about our PASSPORTS……
Skerrit and Toney is causing Dr Fontaines to sky rocket…Skerrit is scared of the Dr..Let us support the statesman,the honest man,the man of integrity,the man who hates bobol….PLEASE LET US GATHER AT MELVILLEHALL IN THE 000 000 000 000 000 000 (THOUSANDS) to give him a heroic welcome back home…LOVE YOU DR FONTAINE….WOW
gathering at melvillehall will not prevent him from being picked up for questioning by the authorities at the most appropriate time. investigation pending as it relates to matter at hand
Politics in this country stinks!
The approach to politics in Dominica has left our people deaf, dumb and blind.
Many of our people do not revere any kind of moral or ethics. When some people can say, ‘leave him take from the cookie jar as long as he working,’ this tells me we are in a sad state of affairs.
Many among our people are very “cultural” and shallow minded. They fail to see the big picture. They cannot differentiate between political gimmick and facts based on sound evidence.
Honestly, I am yet to see a single shred of evidence on the passport related issue. I am yet to see a shred of evidence regarding the dual citizenship case and all the other claims regarding Roosevelt Skerrit. I am tired of hearing he say, she say etc. If anyone can refer me to any evidence regarding these claims it will be my absolute pleasure to review them and make a sound evaluation on the issue. Too many people say things based on emotions.
I toally agreed with you……..
I had consentual sex with this girl in this posh, swank hotel at about 3A same time last year. Then she claimed it’s rape…They arrested me, but there was no evidence.
We spent the next year…She say, I say,she say, I say.
The judge dismissed the case for lack of evidence
WHO DO YOU TRUST IN THIS CASE???
Naturally if it’s rape, let’s see some torn clothes, some vaginal bruises let’s see something concrete or else I’m throwing the case out the window. Let’s see some referral to a psychiatrist that in his evaluation one can suggest this girl was raped. No evidence, no case! You can’t run a country like this! I’m not believing anything about corruption etc without something tangible.
Trust No One
Let the evidence speak for itself.
Facts don’t lie
SURELY NOT YOU RAPIST
really wikileaks??? rape??? gosh, i have to keep an eye on my kids wi pal…i rob, and sell drugs already. even when i was most undesireable I never had to rape nuh> waw
I TRUST NO ONE CAUSE LACK OF EVIDENCE
a politician’s biggest threat is an educated mind,an honest mind and an independent mind.Mr.Fontaine you are all of the above and that makes you,not only a threat to this govt. and the kabal but also a thorn in their flesh.dont be perturbed bro we shall overcome.you are solid as a rock they cant touch you..scare tactics to shut up the patriots
This man is no educated man…where did you get that. He is an economist and can’t think of a single project that would benefit Dominica…How long has this man been playing politics????
lennox always have evidence and all of you shout this time, this time, when the time come for him to present the evidence he have another story.
history will judge us as a people. time will tell
Is this guy now residing in DA? Why is the government allowing him to distract them? Just ignore mister; as long as they continue to respond to his allegations he will never disappear into the sunset.
Respect the gentleman..He is not ‘this guy”. He is not part of the corrupt leadership, so respect him. HE IS DR FONTAINE, AND HE IS NOT INVOLVED IN BOBOL. OK!
Well respect the PM ALSO HE IS our PM NOT THIS GUY
Fontaine approached the situation in an unethical manner which could hurt the very name of Dominica and Dominicans. Why is he soo behind the Government of Dominica?Shame to say that men like Fontaine and linton them have no moral ethics at all.
SHUT your mouth you idiot…We have a failed state not Dominica.Give Dr Fontaine a break.!
always quick to call someone idiot. takes one to know one
Are you kidding or what, what about Tony what happen to your ears
It’s amazing how these Rogue DLP supporters can just determine to themselves who was fired, from where, what position they held and all of that.
Just because the man bring information out which is being investigated by SO MANY other newspapers, they want to crucify him.
They want to say now he got fired from IMF, he was a junoir clerk? hahaha where the hell those hungry labourites does get nuh?
LABOUR FINISH!
Stay Tuned!
At 18-3, DLP not fini bat, Mr DLP Fini bat. You are the one who fini bat.
A PURCHASED 18-3? lol lol lol
who finish am no supporter to none but in 2009 and right now they above cause is they alone that there cause uwp not doin nothing not going to parliament so dlp will stay dats how i see it
my advice to Mr Fountain is that he returns to the island and take over the UWP which is badly in need of leadership. Your qualifications and experienced are well needed. Why are you no longer listed as an IMF employee though sir?
@ Jespen, he could not handle satisfactorily the big boys, the IMF and the World Bank, now he wants to manhandle the small boy Skerrit, but his handling of Skerro will end up in a debacle and a disaster.
My vote for him or the candidate representing him is a MUST…I AM SUGGESTING THE SAME…
Did you say experience…an experience economist calling people around the world looking for passports
He should be calling bankers around the world to do something good in DA
DO WE HAVE A DOMINICA UNDER THIS AVALANCHE OF CORRUPTION? I am going with the Doctor for sure…This government has failed me as a former Labourite.
AMEN. @WIKILEAKS, THANKYOU FOR THE ANSWERE. IF HE LOVE HIS COUNTRY THATS WHAT HE SHOULD DO.
@NONAME . YOU ARE NOT A LABOURITE YOU PLAY THE NAME GAME.
He is already in DA on “MATT IN THE MORNING” wasting time and breath and talking stupidness, the Grand Fond boy.
I am proud of you Dr Fontaine…My vote is for you for sure.
DO YOU THINK HE’LL TELL YOU WHY? I SMELL A
RAT. DON’T TRUST POWER HUNGRY PEOPLE ALL OF
THEM FIGHTING FOR THE POCKET. I DON’T TRUST
FONTAINE.
ADMIN please correct that to he received a letter from Attorney Lennox Lawrence..
Thank you!
I love you admin
It is really sad to learn of this big fire in the heart of Roseau, close to the fire station. If it is true that they cannot break no entry, I think that this should be changed. It is a big shame that they were so close yet so far. My sympathies go out to the Juliens hope that they can understand that God is all powerful. They are a very nice family and hope they will continue to serve God in all of this. They are a praying family and God will see them through. may the souls of the faithful departed RIP.
i wonder whos money paying for that case, because i know that is another hushup tactic by asstapans..
remember de matt case.. but thomson not matt toney
One has a scar face the other one face is scarred
To all Dominicans, “This case is now out of Skerritt and Tony hands, so we must now come togher to save our country form these greedy money grabers.”
The evidence is in plain sight for the whole world to see and if we do not remove these corrupt men, history will gudge us as the wish-ful thinkers in a fools paradise.
To the civil servants, come join the PWC the next time they are going to march in the streets of Roseau becaue soon it will be you all who wont get salaries.
Dominicans let’s give Dr Fontaine a motorcade whenever he is returning home…Skerrit is running scared of him.
What is the evidence you speak off? Is it like the french passport where you will ask them to produce it themselves in support of your allegations? Evidence, beffidence
Mr Fontaine is talking utter rubbish. His unplanned and unfortunate departure from the IMF has left him with too much time on his hands and nothing constructive to do. Anyone who took the time to thoroughly investigate the matter online will see it is based on innuendo and unsubstantiated allegations. It seems Thompson is just vexed because he lose his job as a junior clerk at the IMF and wants to bring Dominica down with him.
truth be told if you beleive in what your name implies then you should want to hear the truth. LET THE MATTER GO TO COURT and you will find out what is truth and what is innuendo
Anonymous, you are just another utter rubbish. The truth has been told about Fontaine. That’s what happens when you are unemployed like Fontaine and employed by whom? – “matt in the morning”. Crazy Matt.
@truth be told: If you are really true to your name the you will want to know the truth i figure. Then like aSSTAPHANS and sKERRIT like to say “TAKE THE MATTER TO COURT” then you will see what is allegations, innuendo and what is the truth. Thats all, plain and simple. THE TRUTH WILL BE TOLD
” junior clerk at the IMF ” Truth be Told” yet your ignorant, unlearned and self hating act begins with a LIE!
Truth be Told, Your vexacious comments does not address the story you have just read, i think DR Fountain is making good of the time he has on his hands to make us be aware of all the illegalities going on in our beloved country, are you aware its one issue after another, we are having more issues in the country than development plans to move the country foward, instead of men in authority using their position for their personal gain moving the country foward we are constantly being bombarded with all these illegal passport sales, crisis in agriculture, high unemployment, crime and all these socila ills, Dr Fountain spare time is well spent to keep us alert
Truth be told, grow up…..If you are going to comment do so base on some facts and say something that make sense….What do you know anything material and subtantial about Dr. Fountaine’s depature from the IMF and how he spends his time today? You guys get so EMOTIONAL when commenting that you lost touch with reality….Reading comments on here is comedy to me….WHAT A WASTE OF TIME…SMH
You more need to grow up because you still living on the ROCKS, ROCKS.
YOur brain has so much rubbish that it scares many people…Why not hire the fire service to hose it for you.
Thompson and Gabu were Skerrits biggest defenders when Matt wrote the article. They harassed Matt on and off air, their very actions emboldened Skerrit and Tony to take Matt to court for telling the Truth. When it was all said and done the obvious they no longer could defend.
This is all a weak and well known, played out strategy by Tony to try to scare Thompson and others, to intimidate people from questioning the passport fiasco, to save face for Skerrit and to pretend they are above board. . They’re hoping Thompson will play his hands, but becareful what all you ask for, because this will be the mother of all exposure.
Thomson Fontaine for PM- We have found the leader we have been looking for –Fontiane for PM–I smell Coalition with TF leadiing.,
TF for PM–ALL THE WAY……………come with it
He needs to surrender his US citizenship first, which I doubt he will do. His role now is to try to control the minds of the weak.
What Leader, you fool?
The leader that is not corrupt.! hope that satisfies you.
are you serious? i mean is that all you people think of? Try to be the leader of your own mind self and person THEN you may be one of the few who wont be LAMBS TO THE SLAUGHTER.I mean seriously because the man has a peice of paper calling him DR (Phd.) and he claims to have evidenciary support of some sort on an allegation he made against the govt that makes him fit to decide your fate as a people, to rule your country?eh bien all you desperate papa(Edicacion c’est pas lespwee)
This is scare tactics. They want to shut up the good Doctor. Dr. Fontaine please consider running for election is people like you we need in government: From Humble Beginning, Articulate, Bright, Qualified, Brave and Honest. Go for it now is the time. Skerro afraid of you i heard that from the grapevine
He will have my vote, let us show the world what this little speck of dust in the Caribbean sea stands for!! let us become a 1st prominent example in the world for all for each and each for all, equality and justice! This is our chance to boost our image, let the world wonder where is this little island of about 70,000 who will not stand for corruption and inequality,
LET US BE THE GREAT NATION THAT WE ARE!!!! LET US SHOW THE WORLD!!!
Looks like everybody outside the beltway got your vote until a year after they are in office when you start smelling a rat. You seem to be gullible and vulnerable, “1979”.
UMMMMM… Is he am MD or PHD. Just asking, because i do not know.
PhD
Only God we fraid of, nobody else, stupid Joe Blow..
ARTICULATE…oh my, he even spell it correctly. At least you are suin it better in writing, than your friend is from his mouth.
Tell Skerrit to send Lawyers to find out who burn GON Emanuel’s house.
some dominicans eh! hmmmmmm! later will tell!
mr pm deal with the message and forget the messenger its a shame anytime someone speaks the truth you get offended do you have a french pasport yes or no that to deal with and forget dr fontaine shame………
I have every reason to believe in truth of your investigation, i wish your bravery and honesty would motivate those retired men who pretend that they are serving the country while turning a blind eye to the corrupt practices of this young dimples prime minister, May the good Lord give you the strength and courage to carry on, we are in your corner.
Fontaine u should file a defamation suit against Astaphans, u know how our court system corrupt and file it in the US, and make skerrit appear, let Gabo represent u, u need to fight fire with fire
Jurisdiction? How do you get jurisdiction in the US?
Oh boy, you sound like Donald duck. Do you know and understand what a defamation suit is. Why would you think that our court system is corrupted, is it because the justice you want based on your political afilliation is not handed out.
Finally this is not about fighting fire with fire as you would like to believe, it is about fighting hatred accompanied with a political agenda and ignorance on your part. Stop quacking Donald.
so why did you make this comment that he was fired from the imf he can take you to court do you have proof on that watch your steps my boy. get it right.
WELL DR. YOU ARE AT THE CROSSROADS TO BE OR NOT TO BE. LIKE A MAN YOU WILL STAND BY YOUR WORDS WHETHER THEY ARE RIGHT OR WRONG, BUT AT THE END OF YOUR ROLE ON STAGE WHEN THE CURTAINS FALL THE PEOPLE WILL KNOW WHO IS THE STAR AND WHO IS THE VALLAIN. HOPE YOU ACT YOUR ROLE WELL AND REMEMBER THE EVIL THAT MEN DO LIVES AFTER THEM. PLEASE DON’T LOSE YOUR DAY IN COURT LIKE PJ AND EJ FOR YOU WILL BE INFAMOUS IN HISTORY AS A BRILLIANT CREATIVE CONJURER LIVING IN A CASTLE IN THE SKY BEYOND IMAGINATION. ATTABOY DR.! BEAT SKIRRIT AND TONY AND THEM!
So did Lennox Linton, and he got it good too!
The matter will never reach in court and that’s the honest truth,am i Europe now and thompson has concrete evidence lol. I cannot wait to hear Tony mouth he is the one that has the PM in all that mess greedy.
just another one of the p.m haters.
Think he loves the PM more than you..Have you ever told the PM to be above board in what he does? Sure not… So you do not love the PM.. BEST YOU SHUT UP.
Hmmmmm….how did they reach the $250 number. Was that the money they pay Matt to hush his mouth?
You all are the ones instigated all these hate in the Country. Why can’t we be as one. God is looking at our behaviour and one day we will be asked about the talents he gave us to concentrate on and not bring our brother and sister down. So carry on thinking you hurting the Pm and others. Examine yourself first
WHy do these people find it in their best interest to DE-THROWN a set of people who are simply trying to assist them… this guy needs to give me ONE GOOD DAMN REASON WHY ON EARTH WOULD THE PM or any Government MEMBER WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND would PUT THE COUNTRY AT RISK TO DEAL WITH a person related to terrorist threat!!!!! STUEPS!
where as u expect ur leaders to do what is ethical that is not always the caes society has had its sahre of currupt leaders who put their selvs b4 the people they swore to serv ….
MONEY!!
CAMPAIGN MONEY, to PAY PEOPLE LIKE YOU, so YOU CAN REMAIN IGNORANT of the REALITIES!
zeh zeh!
I hope if you actually end up in court you can defend yourself because I notice the trend is people saying take me to court and in court they singing a different song. Good luck to you sir I just hope you have a defence cuz what was said is serious.
Dr Fontaine does not need to go to court to present us, Dominican’s with the evidence that what he has written is the truth.
Does he?
Why all the Drama if all he wants to do is present the evidence?
Dr Fontaine saying its “the truth”, does not make it the truth to any reasonable person.
The evidence that it is the truth is what determines that its really “the truth”
I do hope that Dr Fontaine isn’t simply on an attention seeking campaign.
when someone hold u up with a paper bag over their hand, wait till you hear BOW to believe they really have a gun….I wish you long life.
Thanks 1979, I wish the same to you.
How does asking to be presented evidence in a political situation hot in the news for weeks equate to one making an on-the-spot, split-second decision which may mean the end of their life? Please expound.
my discretion dictates to me that the lack of the ability for this administration to be TRANSPARENT AND ACCOUNTABLE for the people a their VALID concerns are much like a GUN IN A PAPER BAG….. People of this calibre should have no difficulty in accepting AND RESPECTING the full CONSTITUTION of the job they have been ELECTED to perform. THE BLATANT DISREGARD OF THE CONCERNS OF “THE MAJORITY”!! IS INDICATIVE that something is not as it should be, and as such we are within our RIGHT MIND to request HANDBRAKES!!!!!!!!
IN OTHER WORDS, TOO MUCH IS AT STAKE FOR US TO PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE…I CANNOT PUT MY HAND IN FIRE FOR A MAN WHO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CLEAR HIS GOOD NAME AND INSTEAD INVOKED PROTECTION AGAINST “SELF INCRIMINATION”. that’s the thing about deceit, “from what-i-know” sometimes when you telling the truth, no one believes you because of your past actions or inactions. Once bitten, twice shy!
1979
Ok . . .
Well, I think that in this matter I’d like to see Thomson’s Gun if you don’t mind.
jus listen to yourself, your conscience sounds heavy
I’m listening . . . I’m listening
Nope, my conscience is clear and so is my mind, thank You
“I do hope that Dr Fontaine isn’t simply on an attention seeking campaign.”
Well, the Dominican has not been as popular as DNO or partydominica, has it? Now, i am sure,it would be seeing increased traffic.
It is not what you know…it is what you can prove in court that will determine your credibility.
For example I can say that I know you commit this crime, however to get you convicted I have to be able to prove that you indeed committed this crime….. So it is not what you know…it is what you can prove in a court of law.
So as a past student of the good Doctor, I hope he can back up his statements….
Last week (Friday?) Dr Fontaine told Matt that he had a “BOMBSHELL” to release.
We tuned in to Q95 and apparently the “Bombshell” was that he would provide a Bombshell when the time was right!
Is it not better for a ‘Patriot” to provide the evidence and let the public know the truth than to provide Drama?
The learned Dr Fontaine can’t very well expect a Defamation case to be decided on what he provided to Matt as ‘Circumstantial evidence” . . surely not!
It is high time that this dictatorship stops in the country. Skerrits sits idle by and his hoodlums attack right-thinking people eager for truth. The truth is out and can’t be hidden. What they think it is we have to take and take “sheet” like the middle east. Time we speak out and stand up.
is that the same alick lawrence ? the one that is alleged to send his staff to dubai, hong kong and New york to sell our passports?
North Carolina TOO!!
Fontaine is a waste of time and is just a trouble making. Fontain was fired from IMF and is looking for someting to whole on too.
Do you have evidence that The Dr was fired from IMF?
Well maybe the Dr. needs to take IZ to court for the evidence to then…lol. Just have one huge court hearing in de damn stadium for everything. I tired!!
Dr Fontaine needs to find himself a real job and stop wasting his time in Dominica on Q95 with “MATT IN THE MORNING”. I believe they discarded him at the IMF. Now, he is on his own “austerity package” that he has to contend with daily.
And waht if he was fired from the IMF, its a known fact he was not corrupt but if at all he was fired no fingures are pointing at him now
Find out y they fired him!…smdh
You will find out 10 years later what fingers are pointing. It might be the index finger, Mr Fake CIA.
finally!!!!! a man that will stand up and fight with words of truth!! HOOORAY!!
i say dey fraid,OH lord …… dey fraid…
They think they can scare you Mr. Fontaine. We are behind you 100%
put your money where your mouth is
Boom bang, shots gone off… the man ready I tell you ! …Finally someone to challenge Skerritt
good to know…
My my my…….this one is gonna be good!
Many moons ago P.J said I will not resign. Later, Some time later, Eddo said he will never apologise to Mammo. A few years ago, Matt said I will not apologise. i will not take back my article. For all his bravado and amidst many promises of support Matt turned 360 degrees and accepted a “keep my mouth shut” arrangement with Skerrit. Interestingly, back then, it ws Thomson Fontaine who offered to mediate between the PM and Matt. Will Matt do the same?
You know when I read Thompson’s piece I said Oh, my God, Skerrit selling more passports to crooks again? Let us see what happens this time around. Thomson looks like he have soem testicular fortitude – real or imagined.
I got into this issue because Thomson said the evidence can be read by anyone online and he sent us to the source of his stories on the internet:
The WeeklyBlitz and other articles he himself wrote! imagine that!
He bold face so maybe he doesn’t really have sh##t!
I hope he’s not just using big lies to cover up small lies, like a thief who will murder someone who caught him stealing candy!
Why won’t you cut the crap, you are defending the indefensible. Go tell Tony, don’t make it 14 days, make it 5 days, hurry and file the case, in an international court for that matter. hurrrrry!
THE DLP Days are numbered and you better start to accept that!
I agree, Tony SHOULD have sued immediately.
Dominica’s court will do for this Defamatory matter involving 2 Dominican’s.
Every party’s days are numbered, but it appears to me that DLP is presently the dominant party in Dominica. . . You thought it was Freedom or UWP non?
Nothing is indefensible but anyway, WHEN and WHERE did I defend what you consider Indefensible?
Rest ashored. Together with the Almight Father, Most High we are united with you.
The Almighty Father? . . he not the evidence non partner!
Skerro say “God is good all D time” but if you really think you may find that
“God is absent all D time”
rest ashored???? my god…i suspect u only went to shcool during the summertime…anyways….for your info: its “assured”. take care
I love you Dr. Fontaine. You have my full support!!
14 days and you will be served.
SERVED MY FOOT…May be with champagne.
