This interaction took place on November 11TH, as per the prime ministers letter.

I was pleasantly surprised to receive this update, given governments lackluster performance in keeping parliament timely informed. However, the conclusion of the letter gives away the true reason behind this letter to parliament Read more

Philipsburg St. Maarten, Recent reports from the region regarding earthquakes and elevated seismic activity should beofconcern to all of us, Member of Parliament, Sarah Wescot-Williams stated recently.

A statement from Mr. Clive Richardson of Sunday, January 12th, 2020, did not address or allay my concerns, and given the reports and the inquietude amongst the population, Ive posed questions to Prime Minister Silveria Jacobs, as the one responsible for disaster management., the MP said.

The Member of Parliament posed the following questions to the Prime Minister in a recent letter.

What is the view of Government regarding these increasing seismic activities? Do these notwarrant increased alertness? What has Government put in place to mitigate the potential threat of an earthquake to our island? Does the plan include schoolsand other public places?

Part 3: The Conspiracy To Ruin Mp Christopher Emmanuel

Malcolm X

If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, thats not progress. If you pull it all the way out, thats not progress. The progress comes from healing the wound that the blow made. They havent begun to pull the knife out They wont even admit the knife is there.
Malcom X

I would like to start by thanking Raeyhon Peterson for finally admitting publicly and in writing that, as I had set out to bring to light, the accusations levied against MP Christopher Emmanuel and his Chief of Staff were a fabrication!

The additional colorful statements made by Peterson and the written attack on Emmanuel and his Chief of Staff by one of his supporters and another person in the newspaper are of no relevance to me, as Peterson with his statement has already proven that he lied to everyone involved or at least to the judicial authorities.

There are now public statements by the current Minister of VROMI Chris Wever (on video), the previous Minister of VROMI Miklos Giterson (on video), the Secretary General of the Ministry of VROMI Louis Brown (written documents) and Raeyhon Peterson (press release), verifying that there is no policy or structural procedures as it relates to the issuance of government long lease land.

And so, we move on.

Today we will delve into the screening process for ministers and the manner in which it is directly tied into the conspiracy to ruin MP Emmanuel Read more
