Notes From A Native Son Of The Rock. Some would quickly add that. Quote:

The Children you breed don't know how you squeeze their mother's womb into submission. Ram kept the trembling whip in place. "You think we following you?" he went on. "Is to raise enough money to feed them why we here. We aint have to breed the blasted place to rule it."

Based on the 2011 Census 18 to 25 year olds are the largest group in the demographics. Crapaud Smoke u pipe.
The Russians are coming! A truly Masquerading Show complete with, as Dr. Glen Richards has written:Quote:

The staging of revolutionary mass protest as popular entertainment and carnival spectacle with the revolutionary band leader leading "the ole mass" parade costumed as the Grand Old Duke of York. After three years of stunning media revelations, popular protests and mass public meetings the ACLM won less tha 4% of the popular vote in the gemeral elections.

The People Of The Book once more. Quote:

To him that hath shall be given. To him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away....The Poor We shall always have.

Have Mercy Pon Us.

Notes From A Native Son Of The Rock. Shaka, Chaku, The Queen of Spades, The MisEducated and The Dame of Ethical Badmindedness are at the top of their game. Quote:

My scheming game, born of the Bridge, was no different. I awoke filled with a cruel plan to assemble a band of Spades who would lead the other way - to rob the hamlet-dwellers' fortunes in the countryside: a selection of Clubs with dazzling masquerading skills and truely heartless masks were needed to complete this task and cruel mission. So, I sought the most notorious Aces, who could abandon their musical bands for a short time. - Edgar O Lake.

The People Of The Book. To Him That Hath Shall Be Given. To him that hath not evn that which he hath shall be taken away. The Poorly Capitalized Banking, Financial and Insurance Sector. Are you aware that Boston with its Insurance Sector commands more Economic clout than New York in the good ole USA. The Political Elites are always amused and bemused, when like the Lady Senator & Former Bank Chair & Legal Beagle to the same Financial Enterprise, that the Bewildered Electorate expect more rather than individuals doing their Best.

@Morris, communist and Socialist countries investing in ANU, has nothing to do with the populace...it's to keep a particular party in power.

This always facinates me that the government seem to think that they have to run all over the world looking for the so called investor to come and put our economy right. What happen to the small and indiginous business person who could benefit from some of the same tax brakes and incentives that is being offered to the overseas investor, to me the local investor have more interest in his business growing and that way they are more able to employ people and thereby grow. Small business is the engine of any economy these guy need to think local and encourage our people that have money to invest in the country.

Begging from those who think less of us. Why don't these governement officials implement training programs to the youths to become self-sustained. If they had Cubans building roads a while back why didn't they have young people learning this trade and have Antiguan engineers supervise these young people to build roads around Antigua. There are many job training programs that could be put in place to have the country develop empowerment. The more you invest in your own the most you get out of it instead of begging others who think less of us.

Agreed. What I hate about FDI into the financial and hospitality sectors is that it just nurtures the cycle of dependence on foreign income. It creates a mentality that ultimately sustains itself - one of subservience and begging. The ideas you put forward have real merit and, in some cases, would take a fraction of the investment of these property developments. Perhaps liberating our people is not to the advantage of these investors however...

Good questions. I am confident that ANU is ripe for some small scale manufacturing, product assembly, pharmaceutical research, cannery etc. These are the type of investments that will not only bring revenue to the shores of ANU, but the necessary skill sets to prepare the citizens for a successful future. I always wonder with the abundance of flora in ANU and their medicinal properties, why haven't the gov't sought international support to fully develop this into perhaps the premier medicinal research industry in the C'bean? Imagine the possibilities. We have an abundance of fruits that could be processed, packaged, and sold in juice and solid form around the C'bean as well. Why must most of the beverages only be produced in JA and T&T when ANU has the potential to do likewise? We should be fighting to establish a presence in that arena too.

I did not get a lot out of this article. I know there was a presentation and a lot of nice music entertained the group, but what I did not get is what were presented to the group.

Quote:

Minister Hilson Baptiste, parliamentary representative for the St Mary’s South constituency, both welcomed the Russians to Antigua & Barbuda on behalf of his government, and invited the prospective investors to indulge in the profitable propositions being offered.

Does anyone know what the “profitable propositions” are? Did I miss something?

“Let’s fix the little things before we attempt to fix the big things.”

I was there not a single russian showed any intrest in no investment. These people are on holiday there are not here for business and the investment presentation was horrible.

**dadlison** » 2012-03-22 10:10

So all the investment opportunities in Antigua are in the hospitality sector? Not a single investment opportunity in technology or manufacturing? This my friends is why we can't strive.

Everyone knows that when communism fell in Russia, the Mafia and criminals took over and became incredibly wealthy. One characteristic of the Russain Mafia has been their penchant for violence. They have made the Italian Mafia and the Jamaican Passees lokk like school children
But we will welcome them. They qualify unconditionally because they are not BLACK and you know it is only black people that the UPP don't love.

Quote:

The visitors were treated to the sounds of sweet local and regional soca, played by the famous Chicki’s Hi-Fi, and joined in the presentation produced by the Beautiful People Mas Band, which showcased their 2011 Carnival production, “What Happens in Vegas” by Calvin Southwell.

Is this is what we will now resort to? What were we really trying to sell here?

Please UPP Government, remember the lessons from the Alan Stanford case! Antigua cannot take and survive another international scandal! Why do our leaders insist on going after tainted money? Is there something passing under some table somewhere? We want to know!

**Very Sad** » 2012-03-22 07:41

Oh Great! The Russian MAFIA is comming! What's next UPP?

**Morris** » 2012-03-22 07:03

I welcome foreign investment, but I think the gov't needs to do its due diligence before signing any paperwork. There are some very unscrupulous Russian businessmen and ANU surely does not need another black eye.

Another thing, are there no investors from democratic countries interested in doing business in ANU? We already rely heavily on China and Venezuela for most of our needs, and likely looking to have Russia on board too. There needs to be some balance so we're not viewed as leaning too much toward their ideals.
