So who do you believe?  If there’s any truth to these allegations I say, “Shame on all the so-called “leaders” of this country who talk big and act little.” 

Alleged services offered by the Jamaat-al-Muslimeen

The following are services which the affidavit says were offered to the PNM by the Jamaat-al-Muslimeen:

• That the Jamaat would work within the crime-ridden area to bring about a reduction in crime;
• That the Jamaat would work within the poor areas in the marginal constituencies to mobilise the voting persons to vote. These areas were referred to as “ghetto areas”;
• That in particular areas, the Jamaat and its members would be responsible for developing strategies to ensure a high or higher-than-usual turnout of voters in the marginal constituencies;
• That the Jamaat would publicly come out in favour of the ruling party in Government and endorse the PNM party for re-election;
• That the Jamaat and its members would work actively in campaigning for the PNM party in the marginal seats.
• The Jamaat would “go to the people” and ensure that they voted and voted for the PNM party.
• That the Jamaat would be responsible for ensuring the orderly implementation of social programmes in the targeted marginal constituencies.

Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me.  Fool me the third time…I’m obviously a damned fool!  My question is how long will the PNM Sheeple continue to blindly follow their leader over the cliff?

Who Really is the Jackass?

Is Patrick Manning the jackass of the day or are the voters who have him in power the jackass of the day?  You tell me, because after reading the trinidad express, I think, no I am certain that Patrick Manning knows who really should receive the jackass of the day award.

PM: Citizens not concerned with delay of local gov’t elections

PM: Voters Don’t Care

This article: Legacy of peace built on life of crime in the Trinidad Express has me a bit confused. 

So, is the government and the PM in bed with these gang leaders?  After reading the article I was so perturb that I called my friend in Trinidad, call me stupid, but something is wrong here.  After ranting to my friend his response to me was, “Trinis all know that’s been going on for a long time now…the government is corrupted, the police is politically corrupted so they have no choice but to be on the same side with them.”  So is this why the crime is so rampant in Trinidad, because the gang leaders know that they are running things and the heads of state dare not try to curtail their activites?

I am on the outside looking in, so when I read these things it’s hard for me to understand why these people are still in power.  But then who can be trusted, because UNC and COP also met with this said gang leader.  

I think the person who responded to the article in the ‘post a comment’ summed it up perfectly:-

Confused
I really don’t understand this…if all of this history and illegal activity is known, then why aren’t gang leaders been held responsible for their actions?  Where is the police in all of this?  And why are the leaders even negotiating with these people?  And it’s in the newspapers time and time again.  I am quite bewildered!!
