We predict 527
Mathematical projections at Freedom Chambers suggest that based on the current homcide figures, that by year's end T&T will see between 510 and 527 homicides. (See the attached graph). Will you or someone you know be a statistic?
The figure boggles the mind, to say the least. We believe that our mathematical model is correct. Readers may copy our graph to friends and family, or print and distribute (by lawful means).

See it? Feel it? Read it: Trinidad Express 2008-08-19 - or ignore it. It's all too common now on Monkey Rock. BTW was it you who was jumpin' up dong in Woodford Square recently supporting a headless regime dat responsible for dis kinda crap.
I express my condolences to the families of the victims, knowing that it won't help one jot.
...we steppin' up wid the "leader-less regime" of the PNM, to the "New Norm" in good ole T&T...the Land of Milk & Honey...???
...somewhere between the shootings and killings, the robberies and rapes, the ducking and hiding, the kidnappings and the ransoms, the murders and the hijackings, the wakes and the funerals, and bawling and crying, and even the marchings and waving placards and shoutings and jumpin' up and protests...for food, health care, help for floods and education, security and policing...and the list goes on and on and on .....!...
...maybe somewhere between all this mayhem, the people will find time to pause and reflect on their lives and their illustrious leader, the same one who they called "prince" and "father" and "preacher" and the many, many other "wonderful names" they find so easily to lay praise on him, and ask themselves the question..."why me lord, why me...?"..."where is the promised land of milk and honey...when will I ever touch or taste or see it in this life...?" or maybe the next one, because the bullets flying so fast these days...even if you go out for your "last supper", hold the chicken please...its too dangerous out there..?
...like I said the last time, its so hard to feel sorry for people who don't seem to feel sorry for themselves, because if they only set up some tents and play some music and give out some free food and rum, and the "bus driver" walks around strutting his stuff to them, they forget in an instant all this pain and suffering...until the next "wake and funeral" and it start up all over again....!
...so in the meantime, my sincere condolences to the family of these victims...its happening all too often, too many wakes and funerals...but nobody cares...so in the meantime remember who help to put the "victims there to begin with...."!
...but like "chickens" they will all tend to forget as soon as they throw out some more free food and music and another wine and jam....more fete for so till the next time around...!
...so praise the "bus driver" ..."the preacher" or the "sneaky snake oil salesman" , whichever....it's all the same to me...so have a care folks...you now steppin up wid the "godfather", steppin up to the new norm in good ole T&T...!...but what a life of pain and sorrow for the people....what a way to live...? ...but then like they say, we Trinis like it so...!
...goodluck...Trini.t.o.o
Looks like 527 will be an accurate prediciton after all.
Hollywood star Philbert James gettin' concerned and calling on people to be patient. Why? Why should anybody be patient with this stinking mess?
See: Newsday 2008-09-20
Imagine you come home and you find your wife hog tied, dead, blood pouring from a hole in the back of her head.
It cyah be you? Why because you have steel cage rong yuh house?
See dis one: Newsday 2008-09-20 - look at dey faces. Not a pleasant sight. Doh tell meh - i's not Manning and he merry men fault. Good - well give 'im private jet, maan! Leh he fly rong in style while you ketch yuh ninnen or get dead.
Mr Lakraj, we are sorry for your loss.
Well I declare...when I saw the picture below, I was dumstruck for hours by the stupidity of it.
At first I saw "Bloody night" etc...about some murders. Then I see a woman looking like she's in her thirty's skinnin' a big grin. How does that fit togedda? It don't there are two conflicting themes - obviously 'severe tragedy' and 'joy'. Eet jes doh fit. Evidence of a confused media, representing the values of a confused people. It's not particular to Newsday. It happens all the time with the Guardian and Express.
...so this is PNM Country...the Preacherman's Promised Land of Milk & Honey...?...if this is what he had in mind, then "we reach" my friends..."we reach"...!..".we stepped up wid Patrick and we reach"...!..yeah man...!...he delivered just like he promised...!...a man of his word...!...a man of "moral & spiritual values"...!...so if this is the Land of Milk and Honey...where's Patrick...?
...well my friends, they say he hiding out in his $278 million mansion, with his 75 plus hand-picked personal body guards, asking Parliament for more money to do more landscaping around the mansion, to put in a "rose garden" , just like the one the U.S President Bush has at the "White House", and to put in a "Cascading Waterfall" in the mansion all for the comfort of his guests, and all this will make the setting look better and more relaxing for when visitors come by, to see his Private Jet parked outside...you remember the "$500 million Private Jet", no...?...the failed or aborted purchase...no...the VAPS that he almost pulled off on the people ...no...??
...all the while me and you and the rest of the country ketching we "nennen" for food, with bullets flying left right and centre, and he comfy and cosy "secured" in his mansion...surrounded all along by his 75 or so hand-picked personal body guards...!
...take a good look at the graph going back to 2000, eight years ago when he took power under the guise of bringing "moral & spiritual values"...the number of murders in 1999 was 93...yes, and I think 98 people were killed in good ole T&T in 2000...!
...now, take a second look at the years rolling by from then onwards...year 2000 and onwards...it's increasing every year and over 2,500 people killed since then to now...up to this time 387 and more...and we are not even involved in fighting a war anywhere like some of the other countries...like the United States of America and Canada and Britain and France...the NATO countries who are fighting wars against terrorists since 2001in Iraq, Afghanistan and collectively have not lost that many soldiers, and they ARE fighting a war...!
...in the civilized countries, criminals and "gang leaders" are arrested and put in prison for life, put away for the security and protection of its citizens...but not in good ole T&T, here they are called "community leaders" and wined and dined at five star hotels and given lucrative million dollar contracts to behave and be good boys by senior members of our government regime....boy what rewards for being "crooks" & "gang leaders" and "hoodlums"...?
...recently their were reports that all or most of the "community leaders" who shook Patrick's hand were now all dead, shot and killed...boy ...talk about being careful who you shake hands with...as the saying goes,..."with friends like that who needs enemies eh...???!
...so yes my friends, every day you pick up the papers, you getting to see a "daily dose" of the promised "Milk & Honey"...no food yes, no water, no roads, no education, no medicine or health care, but a steady dose of lead poisoning (bullets) eating away at our people one by one slowly but surely, just like the man has a plan...?
...so yes, my condolences go out to the Lackraj family on their loss, none of our citizens should have to live in a mess like this created by our government regime of today, ...none...!
...but more importantly, none of our citizens should have to die like this...Mrs. Lackraj included...!...
...to the Lackraj's family and relatives, not only my condolences, but my sincere apology on behalf of all the people of our country for sitting by idly and allowing "a governmental regime", to fall into such decay and disrepair, and to degenerate and become so non-caring and callous towards its hard working citizens...all with such arrogance and disrespect for its people...!
...a governmental regime who is standing by silently and allowing such cowardly acts to be taken daily against its citizens...all the while living in the comfort and luxury of the wealth of the people...but not caring a fig about their well being or safety....!
...their only interest and passion is focused on what they can get for themselves...how much will satisfy their bloated egos...!
...some Moral & Spiritual values...some "leader-less" Leader... !...wake up my friends, beware of the carrier of false promises, even if he calls himself a "preacher-man" and quotes the "scripture"...beware of the "promised Land of Milk and Honey"...it may just be a trap...so don't get caught in it...!
...when we get some quiet moment to think and reflect, take a good look at the faces, the pain and suffering and shock on them and ask yourself the question...How long will this go on...?...or allowed to go on...?...Who will be the next "statistic" on the "Front Page" of tomorrow's newspapers...ask yourselves the question seriously folks...let it not be you...but where's Patrick...???!
...goodluck...Trini.t.o.o
"I have a son..I have a son.." - these are the last words of a man dying of 21 stab wounds.
My heart bleeds for the murdered Hayden Ross, his family and his three year old son.
Ross was on his way home from National Flour Mills in Port-of-Spain after a late shift. He was abducted and taken to Carlsen Field where he was stabbed to death. He managed to crawl for help. Police arrived and were concerned about identifying the vehicle that he was in.
Ross apparently died en route to a Chaguanas Health Facility. After four or five stabs to the body your chances of surviving the exsanguination of blood is pretty slim. Ross having been stabbed some 20 times had mere seconds to live after being discovered, unless he had received immediate and expert medical attention.
The TT Express 2008-09-28 tells us that only 50 of the 401 homicides for this year have been solved. Mind you, solving homicides does not bring back the dead - we all know that - but keep that obvious point in mind. So what does 50 our of 400 - a mere 1 in 8 - a mere 12.5% mean? What you doh know what dat means? Well eef you don't, you are as duncey as the law enforcment agencies that are meant to protect our nation - and their administration!
But I'll help you out - it means that there is an abject failure of crime detection and law enforcement in T&T. Now you tell me - who the hell is directly responsible for that failure? God? Come nah man! Doh make fun wid a serious matter. Drugs? Boy, some people really cyah see further dan dey nose. Leh meh tell you like it is - it is a failure of your government! Daize it (aka That's it). Now go jump up in Woodford Square and march rong wid placard etc. and chant for your leader.
Jes remember one thing, you might have a child. You might know somebody who has a child. And you are the child of somebody. So burn Hayden Ross's dying words in your brain, "I have a son".
...another senseless killing, another brutal assault on the "hard-working citizens" of our country while our non-caring and heartless governmental regime "sit on their hands" and talks a lot, but do sweet nothing for the people...as only they can "suck and blow at the same time", and blow they can except all "hot air"...!
...another son has lost his hard-working and caring father to criminals running wild and free in our once lovely Land of "Milk and Honey", sweet ole Trinidad & Tobago...where have you gone...?..we miss you ...!...but who cares..?...not our government, they have "other priorities" that does not include the ordinary working folks because they are insulated from it all, at your and my expense...courtesy of all the "freebies given by the people to keep them at the trough..."!
...a son who will never be able to see or speak to or touch and feel the warmth and love of his father, who speaks for you now...?
...it is my hope that those around you will "step up" just like Patrick said and provide the care and nurturing which you will surely need from here on, and that the "people will come to their senses" and ask their "so called leaders of government" the hard questions as to why this has to be a "daily event in our lives"?... why this has to be happening at all...?.. while they who have all these "Moral & Spiritual Values" can go to bed and sleep soundly, all without having a conscience or empathy for the people who keep them living in the lap of luxury, far from our lowly peons...in the Land of Milk and Honey...?!
....my condolences to Hayden Ross's family for this unsuspecting tragedy thrust upon your otherwise peaceful lives, and my apology to "the son" for the future we as a people have made for you in this "Land of Milk and Honey"...I
...I hope that when you grow up, you will take a close look at your government of today and ask the hard question...why me...?...what have you done to deserve this at your tender age of three...? ...and what have they done about it...???
...and truly hope they all hang their collective heads in shame...that is if they have any Moral & Spiritual values at all ...!!!
...peace and happiness unto you in your difficult journey ahead...yet another son without a father in the promised "Land of Milk and Honey..."!...where's Patrick now...?
...goodluck...Trini.t.o.o
See how dis woman bawling and asking God for justice: Newday 2008-10-08
I am sad for her. Unfortunately she cries out to a God that will not intervene in the affairs of T&T.
And there is another 'God' aiming to rule the whole Caribbean while people suffer. When will Trinbagonians wake up? You are an oppressed people anaesthetised with oil dollars, empty promises of the land of milk and honey, and that 'the Godfather' loves you.
Wake up and ask yourselves a question. 'Is this what I bargained for?'
...my sincere condolences to Kandan's wife Pulmatie Boodoo and the family...!
...but God does not have the answer to your question, you have to ask the people who should have all the answers, that is the PNM Government regime, the Prime Minister, the Minister of National Security, as well as the Cabinet Members and the PNM Members of Parliament...collectively, they are the ones who have the answers...God is not running the country, these are the people who are elected to do so, and they are the ones who are responsible for the present state of the country and charged with the responsibility for providing security to its citizens...not God...!
...if God gives you comfort, peace of mind, assurance and guidance to bear these heavy burdens being placed upon you by the "incompetence of your government officials", then by all means seek it out, for you need all the help you can get at this trying times of your life, but by no means wait or depend on the Government, as that time will never come, as you very well realize by now...!
...it's reassuring to notice the resident's comment that Ramphal was described as "hardworking, kind and loving"...!
It was further reassuring to note that your son, Satesh who delivered the eulogy, described his step-father as being his own dad. “Although he was my step-dad, we were very close, I considered him to be my own father. I loved him. He was hardworking and dedicated to seeing about my mum and us. He was such a soft hearted person and would have always gone out of his way to help others in need,” he said.
...it was good to know that he was not described as "in a gang or gang related", or "in the URP or CEPEP related activities", or "it was drug related," and that he was not a "community leader" as they are sometimes described by the Government Leaders...!
...he was just a plain "hard working" dedicated and responsible husband, father and citizen, who was abandoned and neglected by his government to face the criminals roaming at large in our country today, some of whom may have been wined and dined in fancy hotels at some time by the very same inept government of the day...!
...hold on to your beliefs and hopefully you too will be able to overcome this tragedy with the help of your son and the rest of your family, for "this too will come and pass"...!
...and hopefully some good day, your Bobby will find some mysterious way to convey and finish his message to you when he said, "I would be home soon and when I come I will tell you everything.”
...so don't wait for the "lame duck Government Officials to provide you help", but do "make them provide you answers" at every opportunity you get, as they are the ones who should have all the answers, "not God", and especially for the ones who walk around pretending to be "pastors" and "fathers of and leaders of the nation" and who are merely false prophets selling "pipe dreams" and "fairy tales", all of which no one will ever see, not in this lifetime anyway....!
...keep up your spirits and those around you...your burden is heavy and the journey is long...but you will survive...may God be with you...!
...good luck...Trini.t.o.o
This is the face of hopelessness, anger, sorrow, and futility! Look into the eyes of Nirmala Malini Persad - or not! What do you see? I see a woman let down by the people and goverment of T&T to say the least. (See the story here: Newsday 2008-10-09). Not jes one government but by successive goverments. Governments obsessed with their own sense of self-importance.
Nirmala, I shed a tear for you and your deceased family. Will Patrick Manning, Basdeo Panday or Dookeran & Co shed a tear for you. Sure thing. But they like me eh go do nuthin for you. At least I have a reasonable excuse; that I 5000 miles away - and I not charged with shaping the country.
Whilst you grieve - and I empathise with you - there is something that you said that is factually incorrect. You said "God wanted you more, he had better plans for you." This is grossly incorrect when you refer to Sanjay. God - no loving god - would submit people to such a horrific death. Vijay - presumed dead - died not because God willed it. He is dead because of the wickedness of man - and that facilitated by a headless uncaring regime. That is the cold hard truth. You, your family and all of Trinidad had better wake up to cold and hard reality. Stop selling yourselves self-consoling untruths.
Nirmala, use your the sense of injustice you feel to drive forward change, but by all means face reality! Turn the loss of your family - your loss - to something worthwhile. Make them proud. Godspeed.
...Malini, firstly, my condolences to you and those that are left in your family, and like Captain Walker, I too shed a tear for you and your family, but thats all I can do...!
...but this is not the work of God, nor even the will of God, for God is a good God...! this is the work of evil men with criminal minds, who are allowed to roam free at will by an uncaring and incompetent government regime, and to carry out these heinous and cowardly crimes on society at large....and unfortunately in this case, you and your family paid the ultimate price...they with their very lives...and you with the burden of carrying on without them...with only the memories...!
...it is a national shame and disgrace that criminals are allowed to prey on hard working citizens as your parents, first to kidnap your brother Vijay at such a young age of ten some four years ago, and now to destroy whats left of your family with impunity, and all in one fell swoop, to "impose this sentence for life" on you, at such a tender age of 18 to carry this heavy burden on your shoulders for the rest of your life...! No God would do this to you or your family...No God would do this to Sanjay, and only the good Lord knows the true fate of Vijay right now...! No, no God would do this to you and your family, for God is not uncaring, but your government regime is...!
... so after all of the crying and tears, and pains and suffering, and heartaches and sorrow that you are presently going through for your enormous loss, and after all is said and done, ...and when you are sufficiently able to pause and look back to reflect on all of this, and to look at facing the harsh reality of life ahead of you, for your young child and your husband...and your future....!
... take a cold hard look at your so called elected leaders of government and ask them what the $50 billion dollar budget will do for you and your family now...? Or what the multi million dollar crime fighting blimp "Eye in the Sky" airship is doing for you...? Or the $178 million dollar Palace the Prime Minister built for himself with his seventy five or more personal body guards doing for you...? Or the $100 million dollars for 200 Executive Limousines, or the $503 million dollars for Summit Leaders spending next year is doing for you and your family now...? or the Billion Dollar Brian Lara Stadium ...? or the many Billion Dollars wasted that could have helped to save your family from the criminals who perpetrated this cowardly act on your family...and you...?!
....if there is the need to place your trust in God, then so be it...for the "so called leaders" of today cannot be trusted, but at some point reach deep down for that inner strength and the will to survive and "be the change that you would like to see in this world", even in the face of and despite such gross injustice, to you and your family...believe you can...and you will...!
...my prayers are with you and may the God you believe in and trust, walk with you each step of the way, for we all know its such a long difficult journey ahead...!
...goodluck...Trini.t.o.o
Well it's another sad day in Paradise. An elderly Swedish couple who made Tobago partly their home were hacked to death. The scene was described as a 'bloodbath'. See the gruesome details here: Newsday 2008-10-10. And guess what Joseph Ross ha' tuh say? How i's ah isolated incident. Look nah man - daize pure crap!Ah want a gun dat does shoot goat pellets.. den put meh in firing range of Joseph Ross!Yuh know is dis kinda t'ing dat does get me hoppin' mad. So Joseph Ross jump up an' gih dee word dat it isolated. ...and...and...like we suppose tuh believe dat? And be calmed by dat? Garbage!! Utter garbage!Mr Ross you sound like fool in my opinion. These should have been your words:'I will ensure that I bring my influence to bear on the investigation of this utterly contemptible crime. Tobago is a paradise and we in goverment must be seen to be acting to protect it and all who live in, or visit the island. Whilst this kind of twin homicide is an uncommon event here in Tobago, I will work closely with my ministerial colleagues to ensure that Tobago remains a place that people can enjoy, free of fear. I will deliver on this.'
Will you adopt the Ostrich position? Yes - bury your heads now. For those who dare, look at that photo below. It says it all. What is Trinidad & Tobago doing to its people!!! What did this child do to deserve this pain. This is the face of Nalini Chaitram (niece of the murdered Allan Seepersad). See Guardian 2008-10-15.
I guess those who live in sprawling mansions don't see these photographs - and if they do dey couldn' cyare less. When you have more important things to do like buying fancy cars fuh big summit, you cyah be bothered with average people being slaughted in cold blood. I really wonder if those who outvoted the vote of no-confidence have anyt'ing to say about all dis? Ah mean tuh say dey real quiet boy. Ah wavin' a red flag to all a dem out dey. Come een here leh meh fix allyuh up good and proper. Tell meh how good dee PNM running dee country - right here, right now!!
“I LOVE YOU...I am going!” Those were final words Allan Seepersad whispered to his daughter Sally, moments before he died on the ground of his Penal home after being shot by bandits on Tuesday....!
...as reported by the newsmedia, this was the final parting gift of a devoted father to his daughter, something she will no doubt cherish and hold dear to her for the rest of her life...after all, this is what she has left of him after the bandits were done...!
...to Sally, Deera, Nalini and the rest of his family, I too shed a tear, and my sincerest condolences to you all, in this most difficult time of your life...!
...Nalini, your most dearest Uncle will not return, or to Sally, your father, or to Deera, your husband, but not because of his fault...he did what any decent father or uncle or husband would do, he fought off the bandits to give his family a fighting chance to "survive" and he paid for it with his own life, something you all should be proud of and always remember, for as long as it takes...!
...but who are these "maggots", these "vermins", these "low life", these "parasites" who are allowed to prowl the communities and prey on society as a whole, while living off the avails of their crime that they have snatched away from our hardworking and decent citizens...? Who are they...?
...and where is our Government and its Ministers who are all mouth and no action...where are they and what are they doing except to pocket a fat salary and "live off" the taxpayers themselves, just like the other parasites, all the while doing nothing about it...!
...somewhere a while back, I read a saying, it might have been Dalai Lama, or Gandhi, I'm not sure, but it said "wealth without labour was a sin...", and so its was a relief to know that Allan Seepersad was a hard working and thriving businessman, and not on CEPEP or URP, or Drugs or Gang related or was a "Community Leader" dependant on Government hand-outs, although his hard work and success was perhaps the major cause of his demise...!
...your Government, the PNM Government, does not care...right from the Leader right down to the Ministers...as you can see, they are more interested in $100 million dollar executive limousines, $503 million dollar get togethers of Heads of State - pappyshow, Billion dollar stadiums and Tall Buildings, but nothing for the people...what do they care...?
...as one of the villagers is reported as saying..."villager Arnold Rampersad said most people only had good things to say about Seepersad."
“Is only the good people nowadays getting killed, not the evil ones,” Rampersad said.
...so once more, the Government, this PNM Government, has "imposed" upon you all a life sentence, and my hope is that you will all rise up to the occasion, and accept this challenge you face, to continue on with dignity, perseverance and resolve, to carry on where Allan left off, and to continue to make a better life for yourselves and the family, even under severe adverse conditions...!
...for as you all are well aware, you won't expect to see any help coming from your PNM government, in fact they are the very ones and the reasons why you are in the position you're in today...their total neglect and abandonement of the security and well being of the citizens of the country, you all included...hopefully, you will overcome this barrier with time...hard as it may be for now...!
...support yourselves and each other, and your strength will come from that and grow, and to the likes of Sally and Nalini, our hope for the future generations, will never forget this passing moment, which should serve as a beacon and guide for mapping out the future, such a heavy burden placed upon you at such an early age by such an uncaring government of the day...!
...and in time, ..believe in yourselves no matter what...and with determination, you all will overcome...!
...goodluck...Trini.t.o.o
Yes cover yuh face...doh watch dat picture. Yuh fed up...yuh know yuh powerless. So jes go away and wait for your piece o' lead to find yuh!
Doh read the full story in Newsday 2008-11-10 and 2008-11-11. Console yuh self and say "Boy, when yuh time come eet come....yuh have tuh live life and be merry...whuh we suppose' tuh do - stop goin' dong dee islands?"
You real sure dat couldna be you takin' bullet dong dee islands, eh.
Whilst I share the relatives suffering - I harden my heart and say, those who stay will have to pay - pay with their lives!
Build dat raft!
Amazingly the murder rate is actually predicted by the Express 2008-11-10 to hit 540 by year's end!! That is actually more than five times the murder rate in 1999!!
What do we do now? Drink a rum and a puncha creme....drink a rum! We ass dark!
Ah doh suppose - eef you listen to dee likes of Tattoo - dat dee govament have any responsibility for dee kinda murder rates we seeing in dee las' five years? Blame it on drugs and gyangs (aka gangs). Ooooh noooooh it couldn't possibly be headless governance of a whole nation - could it?
Whey is dee land o' milk an' honey? Me cyah see it no whay in sight! Could ah diehard PNM supporter help meh out tuh see what dey see? Please.
...Just for the records...On December 1, 2008 one newspaper source reported the Murder Toll had reached (502)- thats Five Hundred and Two people killed to date....and counting...with all of December to go yet...!
...so you think the above graph and the predicted numbers are right on track...? Well boy, for me I feel its a "bulls-eye" for sure, "dead-on", I mean right -on for the dead...!
...do you think Patrick and his side-kick Joseph will now move on to Plan -F...(F-for fail again!), remember last time they said, if Plan A fails, then they will move on to Plan B, and if Plan B fails then they will move on to Plan C, and so on and on and on...till what...? all Trinis dead...?
...funny thing is that most of the people killed and being killed were some of the same people who turned up in Woodford Square in red shirts to support the Prime Minister, when he declared fete for so, and free rum and roti and music and bacchanal for so, the day when he gave them that speech to convince them that he was the Leader who they should not let fall, otherwise they all fall...?
...well boy the "spirit moving them" right now, its like Mighty Sparrow sang so many years ago, "Ten to one is Murder"...well its turning out to be almost true, that is "Ten murders each and every day soon"...?
...they run out of plans, they clean fresh out of ideas, bankrupt, kaputsky, nothing, nada, zero, what a regime, and the people putting up with this every day, just after they finish bawling and crying after every wake and burial of their sons or husbands, and the killings has moved to wives and children...but just give them some free rum and roti and music and some mamaguy, and they get instant amnesia and forget all the pain and suffering they are going through, and they will vote the "PNM regime" right back in power tomorrow...to do the same thing over and over again and again...?
...what a bunch of tribal fools...even if they are the idiots who are suffering the most...does not matter, PNM till ah die...?
...yeah man, this land of milk and honey, where blood now flowing like water in the drains and rivers, and the "man is moved by the spirit"...but then, they just don't care, they like it so...502 and counting...!
...goodluck...Trini.t.o.o
Trini t.o.o.,
This is a most brilliant post. You had meh in stitches, even though I know is no laughing matter.
Dotish people will never change. They remind me of the rats following the Pied Piper. Ultimately, the Pied Piper led the rats to their doom, but they were happy all the way till their death (by drowning). It was only when they hit the water that they panicked; sink or swim.
It seems we ent quite reach ah sink or swim situation yet. If we was to put some bull pistle on the backsides of these Ministers and have them perform like a tightened drum, then we will see some action.
But tribal mentality (and we know of whom I speak, both races) dragging us down - down to graves that is. Panday still won't move aside, and Manning know as long as Panday there he safe too bad.

...well Captain, today is December 10, 2008 and one newspaper reported that the numer killed so far is (214) thats two hundred and fourteen dead, murdered like they were not even people...not given a chance to survive...none...who ain't shot and killed, well they chopped them to pieces...butchered, some even shot and chopped and killed...these murderering thugs have no mercy on anyone...they are pure animals...they were not "raised" in a family...they were "bred" like the wild animals they are...nothing less...they still belong to the "primitive life" in the "caves" and "forests" where they so rightly belong...not amongst humans, not amongst people and families, no, they are not ready for that role yet...they need more light years to develop into humans as they are still in their sub-human stage...more savage animals than anything else...!...!
...and not a word to date from their so called "leader" who asked them to "NOT LET HIM FALL"...!..or else they all fall, and boy are they falling...not he...but them, and fast and furious at that...by the handfull daily...his own people for the most part...!
...so ah don't know that we getting there Captain, ah tink we reach this "promised Land of Milk and Honey" that the good ole preacherman talked about so many times...telling dem that "he moved by the spirit" and on top of that he keep the company of "the prophetess" , another "jablesse spirit" to guide and "move him" in the direction where "blood flowing like water" and maybe, just maybe "his followers" all wearing red so that they can't see the blood on them when they get shot and chopped...!..
...well boy, who ain't dead and wounded, dey already buried, end of story, no more fete, no more free rum and roti, no more wine and jam...all ah dat done...the pastor taking no prisoners...and if you only talk about him, let alone critize him, well boy, crapaud smoke your pipe because the man is moved by the spirit, ah don't know which one, whether the "jablesse" or the "lagahoo" but ah know he say is ah spirit that moves him...and dat ain't good news for we Trinis, cause soon ah fraid he start "sucking blood" like a vampire, like good ole "Frank" himself...then is more ketch arse for we...!
...and like Jumbie talked just in time, because now the Bas man Panday blowing hot air again, talking bout "unity", as he too may have figured out that the Pastor need help again, and so he ready willing and able to shore up that support that kept both he and the Pastor "feeding at the trough" all these donkey years and more...and the more he keep on "braying" about "unity" all ah we know everybody running like hell in the opposite direction, as though the man contagious, like he have the dengue or something, nobody want to stay close to him, poor man, even his "real sidekick" Jack Warner now coming to realize that no matter how long the Bas man keep on braying like a donkey, he will NEVER become a horse...and so Jack maybe now now feeling that if the Bas man try to make an ass of him, then its only he, Jack that is, who will become the so called "Jack-ass"...no one else, so he wake up just in time to kick the door down from the barn and run like the devil on his tail, on his behind...!...So ah tink Jack is right and he has a point and my support in calling for change, as he has "foresight and vision" ...and the people deserve better and it is long overdue, and Jack feels that the time is now to deliver, the waiting is over...so go for it Jack, doh back down now, keep the ball rolling...you right...!...even in the end, you too may be called a "neemakharam" by so predictable Bas man...!...its his way or no way, his way or the highway...so much for unity, so much for the Bas man...!
...anyway, my friends, this is not only "the promised land of milk and honey"...this is also the "land of the humming bird", the land of calypso and steelband" ...and now fast becoming the "land of comedy and errors"...the laughing stock of the world..."the richest island in the carribean" with the "poorest people ketching their nennen", all the while the "emperor" living like "hog in mud" at the expense of the people...they too 'fraid to talk in case he is moved by the spirit, and they get a "visit from him" and they too 'fraid to go out their house in case they get killed...well now they staying in their house and still getting chopped and shot and killed...!
...funny thing is, they like it so, like the calypsonian sang years ago, "sun and rain beating the man and he can't get away poor fellah"...like he have them so...like he put the spirit on them, when he get moved by the spirit and the prophetess...is "jablesse" for so all around..."lagahoo" and "soucouyant" too...."the man is full of the spirit"...we reach man...514 and 21 days to go...we reach for sure...the spirit is on the prowl...he roaming and moving...with all his spirits...?!
....be careful now...!
...goodluck...Trini.t.o.o

Boy Trini.t.o.o yuh had meh rolling arong meh floor laughing. Ah mean it was only about the utter idiocy of the regime that you highlighted in your very witty comment that had me in stitches. But it is no doubt a very serious state of affairs.
Well I am utterly green wid envy now. Dee headless regime lining dey pockets real good boy. Ah mean on dee one han' Pastor Patos telling plebs to tighten dey belt - an guess what daize jes for plebs. In dee mean time dem fellas at dee top livin' it up man.
Look here: One a dem buy a $800,000 SUV. Well I want one a dem too. Eef I was a tax payer in Monkey Rock, I woulda want a piece ah dee akshaan (aka action). How dee ass dee regime could tell plebs to tighten belt, while dey own belt only gettin' tighter because dey gettin' fatter. How does dat work? Me eh really want tuh know. Dee lot a dem deserve to be shot with balls of horse shit.
...well boys, my sincere apology to you all for this "faux pas"...my oversight...so let me correct myself just for the records...the correct number of murders to date as reported was (514)- thats five hundred and fourteen....killed by guns and cutlass...!
...and the (224) thats two hundred and twenty four, well those were killed on the highways in car accidents and crashes...(seems like losing control of cars is a real growing disease in Trinidad), and so the (214) two hundred and fourteen was the number of people killed in car accidents at this same time last year...!
...with all these damn dead bodies all around Trinidad & Tobago these days, ah having real trouble counting and keeping track of who is who, and which is which, who is which and which is who, that its all so confusing...you see they stumbling upon dead bodies just about everywhere now, they floating in the rivers and the sea, by the beach, they finding them in the gardens and the forests, on the roads and highways and byeways, in their houses and shallow graves in the backyards and bushes...just name it and they have it...soon it seems like all Trinidad & Tobago has become a large graveyard, and the growing enterpreneurs and rewarding businesses are Undertakers and Funeral Parlours...just like in the "good ole wild west..."...!...just like "for a few dollars more"...or was it "fistful of dollars"...all the same thing...!..soon its all a free for all as the criminals are on the loose and in control...!
...its a real burning shame that all these people getting killed by either guns, cutlasses and cars, and with all these damn dead bodies turning up all over the place ...nobody could keep up with them, and you just lose count ...!...!
...so when the government talking about investing in business, all they talking about is really the business surrounding guns and gangs, wakes and funerals...all ah this amounts to "big business"...real big business...not like "Agriculture", where the Mega Farms produce "(2) two cucumbers for the Minister of Tourism to show off in Parliament, you could tell he never see a back yard garden in his life...let alone worked one...!
...its a real burning shame
...and the next laughable big business that keeping Trinidad & Tobago rolling in money is "Doubles"...!
...it just seems like the "doubles man" keeps riling up the Government Ministers...with all their big business ideas, and travelling all over the world by private jet to sell Oil and Gas, the "doubles man" just keep on "rolling in dough" and the Ministers getting real vex for that, because their big business ideas all falling apart at the seams like they are all half baked at that anyway, maybe they should fry them like doubles...that should make them work...the Ministers that is, even if its strange to them...work that is...!
.... so doh worry, be happy, if you looking for investment in T&T, look for a good spot to hawk your doubles, or find a good location around Laventille, Morvant, Diego Martin or Beetham, (somewhere close to CEPEP and URP) to put up a good Funeral Parlour...and your business looking good...!
...goodluck and good fortune...Trini.t.o.o
Well said, yet again. I suspect you and I live in the land of realism. Tuh be honest dis land of realism is uncharted territory yuh know. No crowds in dis land boy.
So should reality reign tough, and bearing in mind the statistics, and bearing in mind dee amongt (aka amount) of bloodshed in Monkey Rock in dee last 3 years - I should not be wishing anybody dong dey a Merry Xmas.What allyuh t'ink ah should mamaguy people dong dey now!? Look, ketch allyuh self. I don't do mamagism.
Instead I am constrained by reality to say that it will be a Bloody Xmas for Monkey Rock Crawlers! No, I'm not singing a song dat goes "T'ings will only get better..." buh ah sure it must be a hit dong dey.
...seem like I'm having real trouble counting...keeping up with the thugs and murderers...seems like just as I correct myself...off they go and the Headlines on the Newspapers read...."....murders up to 522...thats five hundred and twenty two...in just the blink of an eye...before I could catch my breath from the last posting to correct myself...!
...well yes Captain Walker, it really looks like a "bloody Xmas" after all, for all those who live to see Xmas, and I sincerely hope thay all do, because I have a very large family along with relatives and friends like peas, they could make up an army all by themselves...!
...so I'm hoping the best for all of them and everyone else for Xmas...enjoy the season and take good care of yourselves and each other...be merry and may the gangs and the criminals postpone their degrading and inhumane activities until they enter their next life...when they all meet up and shake hands with Lucifer in Hades...!
...in the meantime, to all the rest of our peace loving and law-abiding Trinis, have a Merry Xmas and Happy New Year... its just around the corner...so keep well and stay well my friends...and mostly take care...Santa would love that...!
...goodluck...Trini.t.o.o
The bloodshed continues out of control - and all Monkey Islanders could do is pray to a God who busy elsewhere.
In the blink of an eye the innocent life of a 7 year old is snuffed out by a bullet. Look away now: TT Express 2008-12-13.
I'm fed up.
...Well Captain, today is Saturday December 13, 2008 and the murder tally has reached (527) thats five hindred and twenty seven...just like the graph said it would...and like you said, all in the "blink of an eye"...!
...so anything coming forward from here to new years day 2009 is anybody's guess, its all "lagniappe" to the already rediculous number they have reached, and funny thing is, that Trinis have got used to crime and killings to the extent that its now an everyday event, nothing to get too excited about anymore...except, who's going to be next...?
...what a hell hole to get up and not know when the next bullet coming from...or where its coming from...and who's going to get hit...?
...the people have now become not only accustomed but also conditioned to this as the "new normal" - life in Trinidad & Tobago...?
...hope somebody wake up soon and do something about it...anything except just plain talking...too many lives are being lost foolishly, including little children and women...and the Government Ministers and the Prime Minister all silent, don't want to even debate the motion on crime which was started last January in Parliament, they all get dumb all in a sudden, "cat bite their tongue...?
...ah hope they do something soon...anything...!...silence is not always "golden"...speak up and hold your government and the Ministers accountable and responsible for this outrageous ongoing onslaught on the civil and lawabiding citizens of the country...!
...in the meantime, goodluck...you'll need it......!
...oh, bye the way, Tell them Captain, tell them we reach.. 527 that is...just like you predicted ...527 and more than half the month to go yet...!....what a legacy for Trinidad & Tobago in 2008...the whole world is watching closely now...summit or no summit...they watching from afar...!
...goodluck...Trini.t.o.o

We've decided to close this thread now.
Freedom Chambers predictions about the homicide rate have been met and exceeded for 2008.
This is indeed a very sad state of affairs.
We are now moving beyond 2008 and looking to 2010 - just ten years from 2020.
Join us in our challenge to our leaders to say bring back the murder rate to near 1999 by 2020!!
Have your say here at our predictions for Homicide rates in 2010.
