...4 providing some intellectual FODDER from which Arma-G may draw some inference 2 d persona/icon WHO is georgePRICE...GEORGE is really my FAVOURITE whippingBOY so POSTING this OBLIQUE and ESSAYED commentary on his LIFEs work is a fitting prelude 2 d 12-GUAGE approach that i am wont 2 take!!!

MORE in DIRECT response 2 d question on just what GEORGE PRICE has done 2 raise d IRE of more than a few Bzeans over his POLITICAL LIFE: I'll use THREE ISSUES relating 2 d STATE of d NATION and d QUALITY of LIFE in bze 2 make my point...These issues r: econDEV, a cpl indices related 2 d HDI (Human Development Index), as well as those related 2 d SECURITY of d STATE.

ON d ECON Dev front bze has always been a monumental underACHIEVER...Bze has and continues 2 b classified as an LDCs among CARICOM Member States...In terms of d POVERTY pic, RATEs as high as 43% continues 2 b quoted...This means that almost 1 in 2 bzeans CANNOT meet the BASIC needs of FOOD, shelter, health care, etc.

Per Capita earnings of US$3,600 continue 2 b quoted 4 bze...Ditto d HEAD of Household earnings of Bz$6,450.

d QUESTION of 'Just what d HELL does georgePRICE have 2 do with this?' arises AND of course d answer would b twoFOLD...ONE, during d Price ERA although d STATs on d STATE of d ECON were NOT as readily available, PPL would readily confess that d Std of LIVING was not only DEPRESSED but also HEADED in d OPPOSITE direction 2 d remainder of d CARIBBEAN and 2 a lesser extent CENTRAL AMERICA!!! …THUS while d PUP Marshals were whipped into a frenzy on d STREETs of bze in d 60’s & 70’s with adulations of QUE VIVA 2 d CHIEF, d ECONOMIES of jamDOWN & TRINI & B’dos was GROWING, in many instances, in LEAPs & BOUNDs!!!

Sometimes u c d similarities in some of those old COLONIAL pics…downTOWN bzeCTY looked pretty much like Port of Spain or Kingston in d 50’s with its COMMERCIAL row of TWO & THREE storied blds and its stolid SQUARE of GOV blds.,…There is NO comparison NOW though between bzeCTY and Port of Spain or indeed between belmoGEORGE and NEW KINGSTON!!!...d MORAL of this being that d geographic extent, architectural grandeur and cumulative financial worth of these foreign destinations are ORDERs of MAGNITUDE beyond that of bze, even when U factor d population question into d EQUATn…It is literally a situation of while mrPRICE was caught up in d NARCISSISTIC pursuit of forging HIS IMAGE as d FATHER of d NATION and ‘D’ national HERO, his compatriots in d ENGLISH speaking CARIBBEAN, in d persona of normanMANLEY & and d likes, were WORKING on d economic EMPOWERMENT of their PEOPLEs!!!

Although nobody could blame GEORGE 4 d depths of MADNESS that has marked d STEWARDSHIP of SAID and eRALPHUSminus over d JEWEL, it was just a continuation of d POVERTY MODEL of GEORGE who remained pretty much a PART of d POWER structure of d PUP until JOHNNY BRICENO upENDED d PARTY…GEORGE is now only a PART of what godfreySMITH has aptly LABELLED d watchful OLD GUARD of d PARTY!!!

d connection between HUMAN CAPITAL and DEV would certainly NOT b LOST on Arma-G, neither would d IMPACTs of d LOSS of TERTIRAY LEVEL trained personnel
on d DEV prospects of d NATION…In d SIXTIES and 70’s GEORGE was in d NASTY habit of SHOOING away and frustrating TRAINED PROFESSIONAL who left d SHORES of BZE in DROVES…These professionals SPANNED a broad SPECTRUM of DISCIPLINES which ranged from: engineering 2 law & medicine, education & natural SCIENCE, as well as SOCIAL science & d HUMANITIES…It was during these TIMES that d ‘X’, aka KKK dubbed GEORGE as HHMM or His High Messianic Majesty!!!

In d SECOND instance GEORGE saw PROGRESS & ECON independence as a THREAT 2 his MODEL of GOVERNANCE…GEORGE earnestly believed that if d PPL were kept POOR & dePENDENT they would b RIPE 4 moulding and manipulation…HE believed/believes that educational ENLIGHTMENT would run counter 2 d POLITICAL PATRONAGE model WHERE ppl r conditioned, (not unlike d strategy of PAVLOV of SALIVATING DOG fame), 2 come 2 d POLITICIANs 4 handouts & uummm favours…d latter would of course range from d GIFTING of a piece of LAND 2 a needy SINGLE MOTHER on JaneUSHER blvd, 2 FREEBIES 4 a LIGHT BILL 4 d sweetSIXTEEN unemployed CUTIE, and of course school FEES 4 little JANET in 3rd FORM at Gwen Liz High School!!!...THIS Political PATRONAGE shame was and continues 2 b d basis of d Wed CLINICs in every constituency…GEORGEs political career was built on d assUMPTION that if U keep d MASSES poor & dependent THEY would need 2 come 2 U d POLITICIAN 4 their basics NEEDs which would then give U d power 2 DIRECT their hands when they reached d Polling Station on Election DAY!!!

noteWELL that in all d campaigns 2 DIEFY george of late that NONE of his accomplishments r based on d ENLIGHTMENT of d PPL…Thus GEORGE resisted mightily d THRUST 2 bring TV 2 bze in d early/mid-80s…The AWAKENING of d public was d last thing that GEORGE wanted because he knew it would lead 2 his undoing!!!

d TWO things 2 take away from this is that FIRSTLY george saw his RULE as continuing in PERPETUITY and it was based on keeping d POPLn igNORANT and dependent, and SECONDLY d extreme POVERTY in this LAND of PLENTY that we r seeing is NOT by happenstance, it is ENGINEERED.

D SECURITY conVERSATION would bring with it d need 2 use GEORGE & Guatemala in d same sentence and this is NOT a GOOD thing…GEORGE has been unWAVERING in his commitment 2 have d tender underside of d JEWEL xPSD 2 d CONQUISTADORES ambitions of GUAT…He has been willing at d DROP of every GENERALs Hat, 2 capitulate and in effect SURRENDER bze 2 d WILES of this HOSTILE and itinerant neighbour…ANY doubts???...TRY reading d HEADS of AGREEMENT on an EMPTY stomach, or indeed d antecedent WEBSTER proposals.

d HEAVENLY father has a WRY sense of HUMOR manifested in keeping us ALIVE 2 c our AMBITION or indeed NIGHTMARE come through…HE has 4 xmpl kept PSW Goldson ALIVE in my estimation 2 c his PARTY rise from perpetual OPPOSITION 2 being d GOV…In like manner i believe he is keeping georgePRICE alive 2 c d GUAT military on bze SOIL, which might just happen if cmndrZERO & Co conTINUE unchecked on their COMPROMI (read comPROMISE) journey!!!

I must say that I would NOT disagree that GEORGE is a/d National HERO…Problem is as

The UDP time seems up before it began. The people really nuh have tolerance for this shit after 10 years of ralph and said. It's time for a real 3rd party to link up and if you start getting ready for the next general election now you got a chance of getting some seats for sure.

Who seek knowledge deh wisdom increase.

The couple opted for Savannah nuptials for two reasons, Simplis said. First, her mom lives here. Second, nearly everybody else they know doesn't.

Belize's prime minister to wed in Savannah

Prime minister to wed in Savannah

The Central American nation of Belize boasts sun-drenched beaches, offshore atolls, the longest barrier reef in the Western hemisphere and a prime minister who's leaving all that to get married in Savannah.

Prime Minister Dean Barrow plans to wed his longtime girlfriend, Kim Simplis, on Feb. 7 at the Episcopal Church of St. Paul the Apostle.

The couple opted for Savannah nuptials for two reasons, Simplis said. First, her mom lives here. Second, nearly everybody else they know doesn't.

"We really wanted a private wedding away from all the fuss," she said. "We selected Savannah."

The bride will wear a Monique Lhuillier floor-length wedding gown. The groom's attire was undecided as of Tuesday.

"I think he's looking more at Armani or something like that," Simplis said.

The Anglican bishop of Belize, the Right Rev. Philip Wright, will officiate. The couple's 3-year-old daughter, Salima, will be one of the flower girls.

It won't be the little girl's first trip to the Hostess City. Salima was born in Savannah, Simplis said, because of complications during the pregnancy.

"Dean wanted us to name her Savannah," Simplis said.

After the service, about 110 guests are invited to a reception at the Marshall House.

The marriage is Simplis' first, but the groom has a more complicated family history. He has three grown children from a previous marriage to Lois Young.

Another grown child, a rapper known as Shyne, is the former protege of rap impresario Sean "Diddy" Combs and is serving a prison sentence for a 1999 shooting that occurred while he was with Combs and entertainer Jennifer Lopez at a Manhattan nightclub.

Belize, often called a Caribbean paradise bordering on Mexico and Guatemela, is about the size of Massachusetts, with a population of 300,000 - similar to that of the Savannah metropolitan area. English is the official language, although spoken Spanish is more common.

Barrow, 56, was elected prime minister in February, the first black to hold the position in the ethnically diverse British Commonwealth nation.

He's an attorney with a master's degree in international relations from the University of Miami. Simplis, 36, a former executive director for the Belize tourism industry, is the founder and CEO of the Lifeline Foundation, a children's charity. She is already regarded as Belize's first lady.

Simplis' mother, Juva Fernandez, came to Savannah with the family of film producer and ice cream shop owner Stratton Leopold, working as a caretaker for his elderly mother. After Leopold's mother died, Fernandez remained in Savannah, where three of her seven children have also relocated.

Fernandez said the family was originally planning for a small wedding, with about 50 guests.

"We just wanted something simple, that's why they decided to come to Savannah," she said. "Now it's blowing up. I just want for everybody to have fun and enjoy themselves and have God's blessing for everyone."

Nation Time - Editorial Amandala Sunday Jan 11, 2009

The Right Hon. George C. Price is referred to by his admirers as the “Father of the (Belizean) Nation,” but as we enter 2009, 27 plus years after political independence, the question must be asked: What kind of a nation is this?

If one reads history, one will see that nationhood is a very serious matter. Establishing and preserving nationhood most often comes with victims and casualties – heroes and martyrs. When nations are artificially established which do not have the cohesive fabric of nationhood, classically the case of the Congo in 1960, such nations experience violent processes. These violent processes may end up forging true nationhood. You can’t fake nationhood. If there are no genuine heroes, then the national symbols will always be just that – symbols.

Belize is entering a time in our existence when we will be tested as a nation. We will be tested to determine whether we have the mettle, whether we have the gumption, whether we truly deserve to be a nation – a nation of respect and national dignity.

There is a question now whether September 21, 1981 really made us a nation. We are not talking about the fact that we are being asked, 27 plus years after the fact, to submit the national borders we acquired on that date, to the scrutiny and judgement of foreigners. No, we are talking about the circumstances of independence in September of 1981.

Those of you who are old enough to remember what happened 27 plus years ago, know the dubious and divisive nature of what was taking place in Belize in September of 1981. The negative opinion of the Belizean people was quickly translated into an electoral statement, less than three months after independence. In December of 1981, the ruling People’s United Party lost national Town Board elections to an Opposition United Democratic Party led by a shaky Leader, Dr. Ted Aranda, who would be replaced less than a year later. In other words, the December 1981 Town Board vote was more a rejection of the PUP than an endorsement of the UDP. How come? How come less than three months after extravagant independence celebrations?

Remember now, that the Town Boards in 1981 did not include Belize City, usually the origin of opposition to PUP policies after 1956. The district towns rejected the PUP in December of 1981. It was a harbinger of worse things to come for the PUP. In December of 1983, the PUP lost the Belize City Council by a landslide. Then in December of 1984, Mr. Price’s PUP lost national power for the first time in the PUP’s history. The verdict was, again, by landslide.

Our thesis at this newspaper was always that there was something bogus about the independence process which established Belizean nationhood in 1981. The PUP participated in that bogus process because they were impatient for independence, and because they had reached the stage of arrogance where the fact that they believed independence in 1981 would benefit the PUP, was more important than the fact that there was national, militant opposition to the Heads of Agreement which the PUP leaders had signed as a basis for independence.

In 1981, the PUP leaders weren’t listening to anybody. They were mobilized nationwide for violence against their opponents. Belize therefore entered national independence in a state of emergency. The reggay jam was bogus. The PUP entered independence, but Belize did not become a nation. The PUP had a bash. They spent millions of taxpayers’ dollars to throw the independence parties, so much so that they had to enter an IMF arrangement shortly thereafter.

No, Virginia, Belize is not yet a nation. Nationhood is what is to be decided in these months and years ahead of us now. It’s not that we have a gun to your head to force you to see this the way we see it. That which will take place, will take place right before your eyes. The events of real nationhood will not unfold in the editorial pages of a newspaper.

In 1981, Belize didn’t pay the price to be independent. The baby was “a shell eye” baby. That is why there is now a gun being placed to our Belizean heads to force us to go to the International Court of Justice. There was a time it could have been said that we spoke with the impetuosity of youth. That time was a long time ago. We speak now as men, Belizean men, in fact as elders.

All power to the people.

Be careful what you wish for.

...get it...It's not about HIM it's about us...It's not about having his EGO stoked...That is y GOD created Lois...SUDDENLY d focus has shifted from DIANE fukkin UP 2 an APOLOGY 2 DEAN BARROW...FUkK HIM!!!...This has ALWAYS been COUNTRY over PERSONALITY...We have had 50+YRS of this MODEL...I don't think anybody is more EGOTISTICAL than GEORGE PRICE and i don't think anybody has FUkKED bze d way he has SO in a word BACK OFF BARROW!!!

my BRIEF has NOT been in regards 2 worrying about UR sensibilities...It has been and will always b about 'HOW d we take a COUNRTY filled with resources and a TALENTED ppl and TURN IT AROUND from d fuKkin POVERTY MODEL that has been d HALL MARK of SUCCESSIVE GOVERNMENTs'!!!

you certainly read the script right and those in the know will advise you that the relationship between Barrow and Haylock goes wayyyyyyy back before some of us were even born, seems it's another LOVE like Said had for Ralph, nobody going to get between those two!! So, the more things change the more they remain the same!! History has shown us that Barrow talks but has not the balls needed to clean this country up, just look at his handling or should I say non handling of Moya, looks like the ladies keep getting the better of him! Like Moya, Haylock will keep on doing what she wants, Barrow will keep on talking but we won't see action and in the mean time Belize continues its slippery slide down the road of corruption!

I just have 2 apologize for my earlier comments because yaaaw I neva think dis mea play out like dis. Barrow shudda mi accept the apology and still fired dis woman bcas how can he now paint Mr. Cardona as the person who did wrong. The fact that Haylock signed the agreement without any consaultation with the bpard of NICH and Cardona's Ministry indicates that she is incompetent in performing her duties as President of NICH because she does not know what she can and cannot do. I really thought Barrow would fire her or atleast remove her from NICH and put her somewhere else. I feel bad fi da li pancho Cardona bcaz he is know being made out to be the the culprit of devious actions against the GOB and Belize while the real person at fault is being presented as a woman who simply made a "humanly mistake."

Pockets are phat man the guap lookin scoop.

...absolutely AMAZING about d dianeHAYLOCK fiasco is that d GOOD GUY is now being MADE out 2 b d CULPRIT and d REAL perPETRATOR is being lauded as d VICTIM...i am conVINCED that MIN CARDONA was not only speaking his MIND on d WUB yesterday morning, but he was also speaking d TRUTH...d TWO pts that i would identify with 2 make my point is FIRSTLY his statement that msHAYLOCK'S placement at d helm of NICH was a direct REQUEST of d PM, and SECONDLY this TIFF that has mushroomed into a PUBLIC spectacle is NOT an ISOLATED incident.

On d FIRST pt, 4 those who do NOT know, d NAME dianeHAYLOCK did not just pop out of nowhere 2 head NICH, it is very LIKELY that her NAME was proferred BY or on BEHALF of cmndrZERO and THUS functionally her ascendancy 2 d POST was an INSTRUCTION from d SOURCE from which ALL POWERs flow, at least from d perspective of d UDP as we know it...d question of whether or not CABINET was involved in d process is a MUTE pt...If a request/instruction of d nature that THIS one is about came from d ANNIONTED ONE then it would as a matter of course NOT even b a point of DEBATE or disCUSSION, it would simply b an act of ENDORSEMENT...d CABINET involvement issue is one of PROCESS and NOT of SUBSTANCE...Thus d decision 2 have d MIN apologize because it was a CABINET decision AS OPPOSED 2 an EDICT from cmndrZERO is really MISSING d PT of d fundamental FLAW in d SYSTEM...dianeHAYLOCK should not b d HEAD of NICH because SHE has been shooed in by d PM, she should b there because SHE is d BEST candidate based on her PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE (vs her personal friendships and/or political alliances)!!!

d REAL question then becomes WHAT is/r d CRITERIA, if ANY, that has been used by d CABINET in its WISDOM (or indeed d LACK there-of) 2 appt a dianeHAYLOCK 2 d POST of DIRECTOR of NICH???...Is d system that we have adequate or desirable (at least from d perspective of d public)???...Isn't this d SAME system that we have been applying for d last 50YRS???...AND if it hasn't worked B4 y should it WORK now?!?!

On d SECOND pt, d disRESPECT that DIANE has showed 4 BOTH her MIN and d BOARD although unforgivable, is understandable and conSISTENT with WHOM she identifies with as d ULTIMATE POWER and WHOM she C's as relevant in her world...If indeed SHE c's cmndrZERO as d grand ARBITER of ALL things GOOD & BAD, y should she b beholden in any way 2 some secondRATE functionary whom just happends 2 b her MIN?!?!...MIN CARDONAs own observation on d WUB that DIANE does NOT ansr 2 his CEO within d MINISTRY of SPORTs & Culture is another SIGNATURE of d ARROGANCE and disRESPECT with which SHE has TREATED with d MIN and his FLOCK.

It must b kept in MIND that msHAYLOCK works within a SYSTEM that IS or should b based on TRANSPARENCY and accountability and if anybody has TRANSGRESSED this system, in d EYEs of d PUBLIC, it is HER and NOT d MIN.

i BELIEVE if anybody is 2 APOLOGIZE it is HER...and d apology should NOT b 2 cmndrZERO but 2 JOHN Q PUBLIC 4 misbehaviour in PUBLIC OFFICE!!!

No one is illiterate here, but as Dean is a Lawyer, and from what is on the news he appointed Haylock, Dean should have made sure that in her contract, when shit like this happens, she could be held accountable by being FIRED and that way she would not have a case against her employer...to tell you the TRUTH I have lost all CONFIDENCE in this UDP Government. They are full of contradictions, guess when they talk about the pass thief's, it was just Jealousy, This evening on my way home the talk on the Bus was that Gapy Vega Employed 2 of his nephews, one as DEPUTY COMMISSIONER (that is right) and the other as REGISTER OF LAND, without any experience, someone mentioned that the CIRCUS was now complete as they have a DRUNKARD as COMMISSIONER ........BULLSHIT Gapy Vega.. Mr. Barrow what about accountability...ah right I don't believe on you bullshit anymore Mr. Barrow.

Once again unnu damn Belizean di act like illiterates. Barrow is a lawyer and the reason why he asked NICH to rescind their firing of Haylock is to avoid Haylock filing a civil suit that falls under Administrative Law. Haylock has to be give an opportunity to explain/defend her actions before she can be fired otherwise GOB will have to pay some lawyer to represent them in court. I am definitely sure that Barrow belives that Haylock acted beyond her powers as NICH president, but he does not want to make a simple "yet correct" decision to fire Haylock to become a legal fracas that will be a waste of public funds even though the government would have a winning iron clad case against Haylock. You all need to go to school or understand that governemnt administration is not dealt with in the same manner as disagreements between little kids which have no legal determination. The woman has to explain before she can be fired because after all Belize legal system presumes everyone to be innocent until proven guilty unlike in Mexico where you are presumed guilty until proven innocent.

Pockets are phat man the guap lookin scoop.

...sweetHEART DEAL with GEGG should a d very least b a TEST of RHETORIC vs PRACTICE...i don't think anybody would disPUTE d FACT that cmdrZERO talks a GREAT GAME of ZERO CORRUPTION, however MANY question and r indeed conVINCED that FUNCTIONALLY he embraces d STATUS QUO model with all its attendant avenues of CORRUPTION.

This DEAL between dianeHAYLOCK & GEGG was 4 all intents & purposes a SECRET DEAL until it was spirited on d AGENDA of d NICH BOARD 2 conSIDER and ostensibly approve at d 11TH HR...d coROLLARY 2 d RHETORIC of ZERO coRRUPTION is d functional PRINCIPLES of GOOD GOVERNANCE dev by TRANSPARENCY INTL which can b downLOADED from d nearest INTERNET outlet...d cornerSTONE of these PRINCIPLES r of course TRANSPARENCY & ACCOUNTABILITY...d behaviour of msHAYLOCK would certainly NOT be seen as being consistent with d TENETs of GOOD GOVERNANCE.

My own feelings is that at d POLITICAL level d conNECTION went well above d jurisdiction of DIANE 2 GOD knows WHO or indeed WHOM ALL...d GOOD thing about having MIN Cardona on d WUB this morning is that it gave PPL a Birdseye view into HOW certain decisions r made at CABINET...It is obvious that DESPITE d NICH Act there were v/v powerful PPLs that sided with DIANE over d MIN 2 d xTNT that SHE has developed a culture of disRESPECT and disREGARD 4 him.

WHAT i found most INSTRUCTIVE about d WUB Show this morning was d intervention by a CALLER whom stated that d ROOT CAUSE of d PROB is that cmndrZERO is running this "I am d ALPHA & OMEGA" show where HE keeps d MINs in check by KEEPING d PROVISO enacted by his predecessor, miniME, that anybody WHO goes against HIM and ostensibly d PARTY, needs 2 reSIGN from CABINET and VACATE their SEAT in d NATIONAL ASSEMBLY...This is d so-called 'Crossing d FLOOR’ ACT which finally thwarted d REBELLIOUS ambitions of d G-7 during d more TESTOSTERONE driven days of d mUSA Admin.

This ACT would b seen as REPRESSIVE by any student of d political RIGHT and would b in tandem with d ideologically LEFTIST tendencies of senorMUSA, however it would b assUMED that this would have been OBJECTIONABLE 2 an assUMEDLY WESTWARD leaning cmdrZERO…xCPT that thus far it has NOT happened AND it probably will NOT happen if ZERO is 2 remain LOYAL 2 d status quo PLAY BOOK which has been his modus operandi in HIS previous TWO terms in OFFICE!!!

Wiser words have not been spoken Terminator. You hit the nail on the head. Wish our Belizean people would wake up and see our politcal system for what it really is.
