INDEPENDENCE MESSAGE<\/strong><\/p>\nNovember, 2021<\/p>\n
Hon. Lennox Linton<\/p>\n
Parliamentary Opposition Leader<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My Nature Island Brothers and Sisters:<\/p>\n
As we slip deeper and deeper into the disgraces of a failed independent state where control of the economy and social service delivery system has been surrendered to foreigners, we call again on the citizens of this land to stand up and save our country.<\/p>\n
We cannot afford to continue sleepwalking behind leaders who are hell bent on using our own resources to take us back into the dark days of colonialism for their personal gain. We must wake up and change course. And changing course is not the responsibility of those leaders who have plotted and schemed with foreign interests to get us into this most unfortunate position. Changing course is the collective responsibility of the citizens of Dominica standing firm for God and country.<\/p>\n
When we celebrated the independence milestone last year, the Covid 19 pandemic had severely injured an economy that was already brought to its knees by leadership incompetence\u2026 and with billions of dollars of the people\u2019s money under private control in overseas bank accounts, government, under instructions from its foreign masters, had refused to provide an adequate package of financial assistance for citizens who have lost their jobs, their businesses, their means of livelihood. But the government was taking care of its own at the expense of suffering Dominicans. In the grip of the Covid economic crisis, over 65 thousand dollars per month of poor people\u2019s money to rent a mansion for the Prime Minister while government cried broke.<\/p>\n
One year later, the government of this \u201cindependent\u201d country under tighter control of foreign masters, continues to deprive our \u201cindependent\u201d people of their own money to assist them in times of need.<\/p>\n
As we noted in last year\u2019s independence message:<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no bigger mockery of our independence 42 years later than this cruel hand-over of Dominica\u2019s financial resources to foreign controllers of the ruling party, who don\u2019t share our values and don\u2019t believe in the ethos of our society – our values and norms.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe sale of our passports, the proud emblem of citizenship, the very element within our national revenue stream intended to improve our quality of life, is being used to cripple the character of our nation and cast the darkest clouds over our Nature Island space\u201d.<\/p>\n
So, aren\u2019t we tired yet? Haven\u2019t we had enough meaningless independence celebrations in increasing dependency, hypocrisy and self-hate?<\/p>\n
In the four-year period ending June 30th<\/sup>, 2020, under the Citizenship by Investment program, Dominica received 5.4 billion dollars from the sale of its passports to 23,794 persons around the world. This money belongs to the people of Dominica and accordingly the Constitution, the supreme law of Dominica, requires it to be deposited in and spent from the consolidated fund of Dominica. But of the 5.4 billion dollars of the people\u2019s money \u2013 5,400 million dollars \u2013 only 1.2 billion was placed in the consolidated fund. 4.2 billion \u2013 4,200 million is in private accounts outside of Dominica, an ATM for leaders of the ruling party and the foreign friends who control them.<\/p>\nWhile Dominicans are now being enslaved with their own money to the will of foreign masters, Dominica is demanding reparations for the injustice of slavery which was abolished 187 years ago.<\/p>\n
We asked the question last year and we ask it again:<\/p>\n
What is this \u201cindependence\u201d that we are asked to celebrate with pride?<\/p>\n
\u201cIn this day and age impoverished citizens yearning for a better life are being enslaved by ruling party puppets of their passport selling masters behind the bars of need for food, clothing, and shelter assistance provided by the State, while foreigners are allowed to plunder hundreds of millions from the public purse with impunity.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith our own passport money, foreign friends of the regime are deciding who sits in parliament for a political party that has failed the people miserably in government for 20 years; how many hundreds of millions will be spent to buy elections and defeat the will of the people.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe slave masters are deciding, all by themselves, how much of our passport money will come into Dominica and how much they will keep overseas; which foreign contractors will, without competitive bid or public tender, receive hundreds of millions of dollars from our passport sales to build public facilities and build out the economic infrastructure.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe slave masters, insisting that Dominican lives do not matter, ensure that local contractors, service providers and born Dominicans in general suffer, deliberately deprived of opportunities funded by the sale of their passports to earn a living from using their talents and skills in the development of their own country\u201d.<\/p>\n
This year, in the signature disgrace of our life and times, Mohammed Abdullah aka Anthony Haiden, a Lebanese national, signed off on International Airport and other arrangements that give him exclusive control over more than seventy five percent of Dominica\u2019s national income and all of Dominica\u2019s major infrastructure projects.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is no longer an economy for the people of Dominica; it is emerging as a modern-day slave plantation organized by ruling party puppets of Haiden and other foreign masters for their wealth creation benefit.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Independence to run our own affairs that we gleefully embraced on November 3rd, 1978, is working wonders for the multi-billion-dollar benefit of the foreign friends of the ruling party regime. It is not working for the farmers, the hucksters, the seafarers, the fishermen, the nurses, the teachers, the police officers, the public officers, the doctors, the lawyers, the business men and women, the shop keepers, the disappearing middle class, the clerks, the carpenters, the masons, the electricians, the plumbers, the rich, the poor, the unemployed, the youth, the single parents, the elderly, the leaders of church\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cThe nature island people of Dominica from all walks of life, know and understand that in the last 20 years we have been reversing into the dark ages where our ancestors fought against the odds for our freedom\u2026 for a Dominica for Dominicans\u2026 for lives that matter.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we reflect carefully on the necessity of ensuring that our lives in Dominica matter, the United Workers Party calls on all Dominicans to stand for right and save our country. It\u2019s a collective national responsibility that commits us to:<\/p>\n
\n- Bring an immediate end to the anti-Dominica national policy that places foreign interests above Dominican interests. Stop the relegation of Dominicans to second class citizens in Dominica increasingly unable to own land, residential\/commercial property and industry while foreigners selling Dominican passports are buying up Dominica\u2019s prime real estate<\/li>\n
- Build a new economic framework, driven by the private, public, cooperative and civil society sectors for the development of the growth engines \u2013 Agriculture, Water, Tourism, Renewable Energy, Manufacturing, Construction, Information Communication Technology, Culture<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\u201cFar from addressing these fundamental requirements of change, the ruling party is relentlessly destroying Dominica\u2019s independence and leading Dominicans back into enslavement\u201d.<\/p>\n
Against this clear and present danger, we must stand resolute in the conviction that the dream of independence – the hope for freedom, happiness, truth, righteousness, justice and human dignity – will be relentlessly pursued and never abandoned in our Nature Island to the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"INDEPENDENCE MESSAGE November, 2021 Hon.
