the Belize Defense Force and avolunteer instructor in thereserve element of the BelizeDefense Force, was working asan SOSL security officer forthe past four years. He wastransferred, about two monthsago, to supervise the company’soperations in San Ignacio. While his friends, whoroutinely hung out with him onthe Burns Avenue sidewalkacross the street from the office,were looking for an explanationbehind the tragedy, there was thetalk about the possibility of thetragedy being triggered by therecent losing of security jobsin the community as thisdominated his most recentconversations with his twosidewalk friends one of whomoperated the adjacent S&BLoans business and the other hispredecessor at SOSL. These twofriends are reportedly the lastpersons to see him alive, when,at around 10 the previousmorning, he left them on thesidewalk, walked across thestreet, entered his livingquarters, exited through theoffice door, padlocked the officedoor from the outside andreentered his living quarterspulling the door behind him.The friend who occupies anadjacent room in the S&B Loanssection informed of the unusualloud volume of the TV in hisneighbor’s room, but he wasmore concerned about thedisturbance to the landlord wholives upstairs. The volume of thetelevision remained high rightup until the police entered theroom on Thursday morning. The predecessor friendarrived, as usual, at around 8

o’clock on Thursday morningand began inquiring aboutReyes, he reportedly knocked onthe back door and when he gotthe unusual no response, hewalked around the corner to aside bathroom window, pulledthe curtain and with thebathroom door open, he got aclear view of the bedroom wherehe saw the body and the largeblood stain on the bed. Herushed around to the front ofthe building and told the otherfriend what he saw. The otherfriend placed the 911 call tothe police who arrived shortlythereafter. The owner and managingdirector of SOSL, Paul Garcia,confirmed that the company’sclientele was indeed on thedecline in the area which heattributes to other factors andnot necessarily to Reyes’performance. The suspectedsuicide note, which was certifiedin a written statement to thepolice by police corporal,Samuel Bonilla , youngerbrother of the deceased, to be inthe decease’s handwriting withwhich he is acquainted, rathervindicated Garcia’s position as,at the risk of delving too deep inthis rather personal message tohis wife and son, indicated thathe was sorry for what he haddone and that he had gotten tiredof the medication. He requestedfor his son to “Take good careof your mother, my wife”. Thenote also informed that“whoever finds this note give itto my wife”. It ended with therequest to “tell everyone I amsorry. I can’t take it no more.

BY: Athenee Elrington TREASON: The offense ofattempting by overt acts tooverthrow the government of thestate to which one owesallegiance... QUISLING: A traitor who col-laborates with the invaders of hiscountry...PERJURY: The vol-untary violation of an oath to tellthe truth: false swearing... Believe this, there are peoplealive today who still worship thedevilish Adolf Hitler! That is astraight-up fact. Most tyrants, des-pots, dictators and political massmurderers started out small, butused the very power loaned to themby the electorate to become themonsters that then preyed on thatsame electorate! When peoplelook back at the way they voted,some say: “ I didn’t know..” Then, there are the others who:Frankly did not care. Active Participation; Culpabil-ity! When Ralph said that the messthat Belize is in was caused by thePUP he knew exactly what he wastalking about and he was 100%right. When my father led thediscussions concerning thepolitical points of the day on ourverandah, he was very clear about

why he could NEVER supportPrice nor the PUP. He neverwanted us to be ‘uninformed.’ Wecontinue the discussions in Pa’smemory. I feel that this is the righttime to share these truths with you: 1) Price was sent intopolitics by a millionaire capitalistswho did NOT want to pay taxes:the relevance to today is that wehave a billionaire who wants ALLthe Belizeans’ money - and do NOTwant to pay taxes. A PUP winwould allow the billionaire to havehis way with Belize. Differenttime, same motive! 2) Price failed to complete theprescribed course of study at semi-nary. Relevance: Smith explainedthat by the end of Price’s longreign, things worsened and corrup-tion reached a critical mass; con-tinued failure. 3) Price was expelled from themeeting in London after secret,unauthorized scheming withGranados. Relevance: Chiquibul,and indeed the whole bordercontinues to be threatened byGranado’s countrymen. 4) Price sold out. His thirtypieces of silver was the promiseof becoming the 1st President of aproposed Central AmericanFederation. Relevance:

Sagastume’s crossing. 5) Price was totally against aWest Indies Federation and herefused twice to give the land forthe UWI campus at thatUniversity’s birth. Relevance: Belize would now have a superb teaching, tertiarylevel hospital, I lay the blame ofevery one of the premature deathson the shoulders of Price and hissupporters. 6) Price would shamelessly runinto the protected arms of the very‘Colonial British’ that he claimedto be fighting against, whenever hewanted to save his skin or when itsuited his selfish needs. Examples: i) When Hector Silva andSantiago Perdomo, backed byYdigoras ’’ Belize will be ours byright or might’’ Fuentes wanted topush him aside. ii) Whenever solders, warshipsand harriers were needed to cometo the aid of Belizeans. 7) Price went from house tohouse and community to commu-nity to encourage Citizens to givehim their allegiance - ratherthan the COUNTRY. He used thevisits to encourage class andethnic separation. Relevance: Today’s population is not as nation-alistic and unified as it needs to be,

especially when faced with threatsfrom outside. This is probably themost important point of this essay! 8) Price told Pollard that a Brit-ish passport would be irrelevantbecause Belize would soon becomea Department of Guatemala. Rel-evance: The totally unfundedclaim is still being pushed by theenemies of our state. 9) Price had been receivingmonthly cash contributions fromthe Guatemalans; specifically toturn the inhabitants of British Hon-duras against Britain and to lieabout the Battle of St. George’sCaye. Tony M. alleged lover andbagman is living in San Fransico,give him a call! Relevance: Gua-temala wants what it feels that ithas bought from George C. Price -problem is; Price was wrong to putBelize on the selling block, becauseBelize was NEVER his to sell andthe Bat tle is a real historicalfact. Smith, Richardson, Jeffery,DePaz and Goldson turned awayfrom him because of his ‘greatlove:’ Guatemala. DePaz did NOTapprove of Guatemala indoctrinat-ing young Belizean minds: Belizebelongs to Belizeans; our destinylies with us coming fully to gripwith that fact; 100% ownership ofour Jewel. 10) Price lied under oath duringthe Sharpe Inquiry (contact with

Under the Constitution of mostformer British colonies, there isno fix date to call GeneralElections. It is the prerogative ofthe serving head of state to setthe date for subsequent generalelections. In some former British coloniesand Commonwealth countries,the head of state is not elected bydirect election but rather byvoting in a single constituency.With this type of arrangement,anybody who want to becomePrime Minister or President mustfirst be elected to the House ofRepresentatives and must enjoythe support of the majoritymembers in the House. In otherwords, that individual must be theleader of the winning party. If this person win theleadership of the party and loseshis or her seat in the GeneralElection, that person cannotbecome Prime Minister orPresident but retain the partyleader position until that personeither resigns or is replaced by theparty. The elected members of theparty among themselves shallthen decide who will be namedPrime Minister or President. In 1979 Dean Lindo, the thenleader of the United DemocraticParty (UDP) lost his seat in theFort George Constituency to SaidMusa of the People’s UnitedParty (PUP) resulting in the UDPappointing Dr. Theodore Arandaas the leader of the opposition. Aranda later lost the partyleadership to newcommer,Physics professor, ManuelEsquivel. Aranda then went onto form his own ChristianDemocratic Party (CDP) whichwas shortlived and never won anyseat in any election in Belize.Aranda the joined the PUP andwent on to win the Dangriga seatfor the PUP in the 1989 generalelections. General elections were held in

December 1984 and, for the firsttime in Belize’s political historythe PUP was defeated by the UDP.Of the 28 seats in the House ofRepresentative, at that time, theUDP caputred 21 while the PUPgot only seven. The real upset inthe 1984 general election was thedefeat of PUP leader and veteranpolitician, George Price in theFreetown Constituency by DerekAikman, a young politician, inhis early 20’s. PUP leader, George Price waseffectively left without a seat inthe House resulting in the PUPappointment of Florencio Marinfrom Corozal Southeast asleader of the opposition in theHouse. Notwithstanding Marin’sappointment, Price retained hisposition as leader of the PUP.Realizing that Freetown hadshifted to the UDP, Price wasmoved to the PUP stronghold inPickstock which at the time wascontrolled by his sister JaneUsher who was asked to stepaside to make way for Price.Price went on to win theconstituency in 1989 but by1993, when he called earlyelection, 16 months before it wasconstitutionally due, the marginof victory was significantly closedwith the arrival of the formidableWilfred Sedi Elrington, anattorney by procession, as theUDP candidate in Pickstock; Thiswas when the PUP came to therealization that Price’s days inpolitics coming to and end and so,in avoiding a repeat of the 1984scenario, Price was forced toresigned in 1996 as the party wasgearing up for the 1998 generalelections. In the wake of George Price’sdeparture, Florencio Marin andSaid Musa competed for thevacant position.Musa defeatedMarin in a convention held on“neutral grounds” in Belmopan.The convention resulted in theisolation of Marin until heresigned in 2007annointing hisson, Florencio Jr, to take overCorozal Southeast. The George Price led PUPcalled early in 1993 proclaimingthat “Job Done” giving theimpression that they needed anew mandate because that hadfulfilled all their manifestopromises. The UDP won by a slim2 seat margin. Manuel Esquivel,who won his Caribbean Shoresseat became the new PrimeMinister of Belize for a second

time. The UDP again served a singlefive year term in office and wasdefeated by the Said Musa ledPUP in 1998. Musa went on towin two consecutive five yearterms in office until his party,plagued by allegations of rampantcorruption, was swept out ofoffice by a 26 to five defeat bythe UDP led Dean Barrow inFebruary of 2008. Barrowwho had served as Deputy in the93-98 UDP administrationbecame the new Prime Ministerof Belize. Since taking over theleadership of the UDP, DeanBarrow has been winningsuccessive municipal and villagecouncil elections and in theprocess transforming his partyinto a political force to bereckoned with. As 2011 draws to a close,the PUP remains severlyfragmented. It is controlled by afew select families, businesspeople, special interest groupsand people of Arab descent.Grassroots Belizeans are notpleased with this arrangements.More native Belizean ethnicgroups such as the Creoles,Garifunas, Latinos, East Indians,Mayas are openly supportingDean Barrow and the UDP. The attempt by the PUP toportray the UDP as an antiHispanic party continues to failedmiserably as Belizeans of allethnic orignins routinelyflock toUDP public events especiallywhen called to do so by theirrespective area representative andtheir party leader. The UDP have been enjoyingresounding election victoriessince March of 2006 when theywon 64 of the 67 municipal seats.This exact margin of victory wasrepeated in 2009 and could verywell tripete in 2012. The UDP went on to a landslidevictory in February 2008 winningin 26 of the available 31 seats inthe House . This massive victorywas followed by the secondlandslide municipal victory, oneyear later, in 2009. The UDP hassince been on a election victoryroll and by all indications it lookslike nothing is going to stop themnow. Most recently the PUP has beensaying that they are ready forgeneral elections because theyhave all thirty one candidates inplace. Having candidates in place

and winning elections howeverare two different things. The UDP can now call thegeneral elections whenever theyfeel that the time is right. A favorable outcome in the 7March 2012 municipal elections,could very well prompt PrimeMinister Barrow to call generalelections shortly thereafter. Elections were recently held inGuyana and the party in powerlost the House of Parliament butretained the presidency. In St. Lucia the UWP party thatwas in control, lost the House ofRepresentatives and the St. LuciaLabor Party (SLP) headed by DrKenny Anthony, after about nineyears in opposition, returned topower by winning nine out of fif-teen seats in Parliament Elections in Jamaican is sched-uled for 29 December 2011. Ja-maicans are ready to go to thepolls with their JLP governmentand their new Prime Minister An-drew Holness. The Government of Belize hassuccessfully controlled gangviolence in urban Belize Citywhile working on a severaleconomic initiatives to createjobs for Belizeans. Roads and bridges are underconstruction. Several WorldBank funded tourism projects areunderway countrywide. Government has sincerenationalized two public utilitiesmuch to the pleasure of themajority of Belzeans. The onceonerous telephone rates havegone down by as much as 75%.Furthermore, Prime MinisterBarrow recently announced thatelectricity rates will be reduced inthe first months of the new year. New schools are being builtcountrywide. Electricity will soonbe extended to an additionaltwenty-nine villages With all these projects on theagenda, it is clear that the UDPgovernment is gearing up forelections. Before a PrimeMinister calls early elections, heor she must first weigh the prosand cons of their chances ofreelected first. With the currentfinancial and fragmented state ofthe PUP, combined with their lackof a clear vision and direction, theUDP should so go ahead and takeadvantage of the prevailingchallenging state of the PUP. After two consecutived terms ofbeing in opposition it is now timefor the UDP to be given anotherterm to continue cleaning up themessinherited from the misman-agement and outright corruptionactivities of the previous PUPadministration.

The move follows twohigh-profile murders this week,both blamed on gunmen onmotorbikes. Congress also approved awiretapping law proposed aspart of efforts to tackle crime butwhich has raised privacyconcerns. Honduras has the world’shighest murder rate: 82 per100,000 people a year.

The measure, which will lastfor six months, was requested byPresident Porfirio Lobo,whose government is facingrising crime. “We know it is going toaffect a certain part of thepopulation,” congressman

He was driving his white pickupwhen he ran into a passenger busheading in the opposite directionas he tired to avoid colliding intothe back of a water truck parked inhis lane. While the driver of the bus triedto make way for Williams’

approaching vehicle by shifting offthe road, the accident could not beavoided as the pickup made

contact with the right side of thepassenger bus resulting in thepickup, with Williams inside,flipping several times. The family, obviously shaken bythe sudden and tragic loss of a loveone are making arrangements to lay

Silky, Cain,Lightburn, Smiling, marshals.....were encouraged to harm BelizeanCitizens. Stoning, gunshots,arson....Relevance: One of the big-gest problem the once peacefulBelize is now fighting is a massivecrime/violence problem. 12) Price ALWAYS placed him-self, his family and his party wellabove the interest of Belize andBelizeans. Relevance: Belizeansare worst off now than when he

entered politics 60 years ago;expected, since he went in to lookafter the interest of ascrooge.....Shameful and Wrong! Price was no nationalist! NO. 13) The very ones that votedBLUE called us many things andmany names; that’s OK! The onething that they avoided calling uswas nationalists/patriots, yet weremain on guard for Belize. Rel-evance: The Anti-Price Coalition’spurpose to keep Belize out of thejaws of Guatemala continues..... 14) Price could not turn Belizeover to Guatemala despite the vastsums of Quetzales that was paid tohim but he was able to turn Belizeover to Ralph and Said - and we allknow just how terrible that was andcontinues to be.... Ralph and Saidbought him out witht h e u n d e s e r v e d / ma d e - u p /false titles: “ Father of the Nation’’ ‘’ National Hero’’ Relevance: Price ALWAYS sells out; his lifelong silence was a testament to hisfear of facing the gallows; some of

us always knew ofhis dastardly deeds! We did notneed smith’s book to tell us! Letthe ones who voted BLUE readthat! I have offered you a taste of thematerial we discussed. I now saythat the sneaky push for sainthoodis a sinister move by those who fa-cilitated Price to feel good abouttheir actions. They did wrong by supportinghim and the knowledge of theirmassive unpatriotic error bringsthem severe mental pain. To es-cape, they must justify theirdeeds. Their plan for relief is tomake Price a hero and a saint;impossible! They know that he isneither! I strongly advise them tolook at mythology for a way out.... Permit me to publish my Christ-mas wish! I would like two (2)copies each of the Smith andPollard books. I would ask thewriters to sign them with thefollowing memo: “Mr Goldson,Mr. Elrington you didn’t lie.” Imyself would write: “ Price Lied!”and then I would march, with thefull band to Lord’s Ridge

Cemeteryc , with the band playingONLY Belizean patriotic music. Iwould have the books in my lefthand and a spade in my right hand. I would dig shallow holes atGoldson’s and Pa’s graves andplace a copy of each of the booksin the respective holes. As I coverthe holes I would say: “ Respectfor standing truthful!” Richardson should similarly beso honored!! Belizean Patriotsvindicated!! In closing I want to warn that ifat the end of the reading, you cometo the conclusion that this article isabout Price, then you have misun-derstood me completely. Despitethe many appearances of that name;the focus is on those individualswho allowed him to mess-upBelize. This article is a gentle warningto the voters to be very careful - donot vote against your interest andagainst the country. I am reallybegging you NEVER to vote PUP;that would put the country ingrave peril. I NEVER VOTEDBLUE, NOW YOU KNOWWHY!

BY: Richard BlackEnvironment correspondent,BBC News, Durban Protesters say the talks are notdoing enough to prevent dan-gerous climate change Nations seeking a strongclimate change deal at the UNtalks received a rebuff as drafttexts proposed future emissioncuts kicking in after 2020. The EU and many countriesvulnerable to climate impactssay that is too late to preventmajor consequences, and cutsshould start well before. They also want to ensure thatfuture deal would be legallybinding on all. But the draft texts written bychairs of overnight talks, seen byBBC News, do not specify abinding outcome. This year’s talks in SouthAfrica are not intended to pro-duce a new binding agreement. But the EU and its allies fromthe Alliance of Small IslandStates (Aosis) and the LeastDeveloped Countries (LDCs)are seeking a firm roadmaptowards such an agreement, andsoon. Aosis delegates are not happywith the drafts. They, and the EU, havepledged they will not make anagreement here that is notconsistent with the scientificpicture.“If there is no furthermovement, then I must say Idon’t think there will be adeal in Durban,” said EUclimate commissioner ConnieHedegaard. Action that helps cope with theeffects of climate change - forexample construction of barriersto protect against rising sealevels, or conversion to cropscapable of surviving hightemperatures and drought. The drafts broadly reflectthe priorities of the BASIC

group - Brazil, the SouthAfrican hosts, India and China -and the United States. They envisage somedeveloped countries - the EU,and probably others - pledgingfurther emission cuts within theKyoto Protocol, without makingthose pledges binding as yetunder the protocol. One seasoned observer of theUN process said the proposals“buy 10 years’ delay in actionfor the US, China, India andBrazil, and risk making the mostvulnerable countries ‘road kill’on the big emitters’ highway tothe future.” Detailed reactions fromdelegations are awaited. The main lobby of theconference centre in Durban,South Africa, saw a longdemonstration on the finalafternoon, with campaignersdemanding progress.“Listen to the people, not thepolluters,” they chanted.The last of the demonstratorswas led away about an hour and

a half later. Christiana Figueres, execu-tive secretary of the UN climateconvention (UNFCCC), saidthat whatever governments

decide here will not be enoughto bridge the gap between theemission cuts governments havepledged, and the cuts necessaryto keep the global average tem-perature rise below 2C from pre-industrial times.
