Understanding Bruce
Bruce Golding is one of those people
who can make it up as he goes along...
and believe it.
Listening between the words, catching
the interplays, the story, (as of
March 25 2011...(story may change
if required)
Is that....
Harold Brady came to him with an idea
to hire an American Lobby firm to
assist in the Dudus matter.
Golding, deciding to keep this secret
from everyone, (including his Deputy
PM, the Gen. Sec of his Party, et.al)
gave Brady the authority to begin
negotiations with a law firm
called Mannatt, Phelps and Phillips.
According to Bruce, this authority
was done as Leader of the JLP not
as Prime Minister.
Brady made his contacts, describing
himself as a consultant of the
Jamaican Government.
Manatt then announced, on it's web
site, (and in keeping with US laws)
that it was working for the Ja. Gov.
Golding admits now that he had no
idea that a US firm would have to
publicly admit when it worked for
a foreign government, so had
absolutely no inkling that his
Big Secret was available to the
world.
To confirm Brady's credibility
he sent Dr. Robertson, who was
a Deputy General Secretary,
(as well as the Jr. Minister
in the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs; but that was just BTW)
to meet with Manatt.
Robertson did not do this.
Bruce claims he didn't know/
realise/understand why this
did not happen.
Subsequently, via Peter Phillips,
the Manatt connection to the
Ja. Gov. (as appeared on their
Website) was brought to the
floor of the House.
Bruce thought he could get
away with pretending he had
no idea who or what Manatt was.
At the Inquiry, Golding testified
that in March 2010 Not the Minister
of Foreign Affairs, not the Attorney
General, not even the General Secretary
of the JLP knew of Manatt.
There is no reason to tell a
featherbrain like Lightbourne
(Minister of Justice and the
Attorney General) about this
because she didn't need to know.
She hasn't had a thought in her
head for years so would do whatever
Party Leader told her without question.
Others might ask Bruce;
"What?"
"Why?"
Making themselves unavailable
to be used so could not be used.
Those who would do what Bruce asked
when he asked without asking were
those he appointed.
Putting a Lightbourne at Justice
meant that he was at Justice.
Putting a moron like Dwight Nelson
at National Security meant that
Bruce controlled National security.
Simpletons have use.
The public watches the Inquiry,
just beginning to get the gist.
It is all going to be put on
Brady; obviously.
He's expendable.
Where did the Money come from?
Bruce claims not the Gov and
not the Party;
special contributors
via an account...
who?
Who are these contributors?
Bruce won't say.
Won't admit how many millions
of dollars of Gov. contracts
Dudus had.
Outside of mind dead Labourites
most of the public is seeing the
discrepancies and the confusion
and the lies.
Wondering whether Bruce ran a
'black ops' as he said, or
if Brady really did work for
the Gov....
But the point is; the US,
assuming Dudus a dangerous man,
(according to all the Shower
Posse Hype) thought to hurry
the procedure along.
So did the Police, the Soldiers,
the DPP....
Alas....
they didn't realise
Bruce would sooner send his
Cabinet than Chris Coke.

The World Watches
A Minister of National Security who can't recall
more than his name,
An Attorney General who doesn't know the law.
Having stonewalled for over nine months
everyone denies knowing Dudus, yet are willing
to spend millions of dollars to prevent his
extradition.
The world is watching.
They don't think Dwight Nelson's poor memory or
giggles are cute.
They aren't impressed with Dorothy Lightbourne's
lack of legal knowledge.
They know corruption when they see it.
The Embassy/Consular Staff are glued to
the TV set, beaming the Inquiry to
their Capitals.
One wonders if Golding appreciates the
impact this has?
It isn't amusing to see Ministers of
a Government lie. And lie so obviously.
Maybe those who appear before the
Inquiry have such contempt for
the Jamaican people they believe
they can 'get over' with a smirk
and a shrug.
Maybe they don't realise that they
do not appear so cute in D.C. or
Downing Street, or anywhere persons
of a certain level of intellect
and integrity assemble.
The effect of the Manatt/Dudus
Inquiry on Jamaica's prestige
overseas is as devastating as
the tsunami on Japan.
The sadly amusing part is that the
Golding Government doesn't realise
it.
Don't appreciate that look on the
faces of First World countries is
contempt.

Dorothy Lightbourne; stooge
Dotty Lightbourne is a poor liar.
Not particularly intelligent for a human
being, nor possessing the erudition of a
clerk of courts, she makes a complete ass
of herself on the Stand.
She looks at laws under cross-examination
which she has obviously never seen before.
She puts forward arguments she must retract,
proving ignorance of standard of proof,
ignorance of the law, she is clearly
unqualified and incompetent to hold the
position of Attorney General.
The tragedy of Dotty is that Bruce pushed
her into a position she is incapable of
performing.
Chosen because he needed a tool, a mindless
drone, unable to question, simply to follow
orders and take advice.
A competent attorney, one with some level
of erudition and integrity could not perform
actions which are clearly bad in law, corrupt
and politically motivated.
Dotty, being told by Bruce Golding not to
sign the warrant never bothered herself
to read it.
She said it was 'illegal', 'unlawful'
with absolutely no legal authority
to support her point.
As she sits and reads the law at the
Manatt inquiry it is clear this is a
first for her.
All these gymnastics, which destroy
her credibility as a lawyer, her
integrity as a person, all because
Golding told her not to sign the
warrant.
There is not a person watching that
Inquiry who can escape the conclusion
that she is person lacking knowledge
of the law.
The more she reads, the more
hesitant her voice, the more shaky
her responses.
She backs and forths, lies, twists,
repeats, then changes her mind.
She tries to behave as if the
U.S. request was clearly wrong
on the face of it, but as she
reads each sentence of the law
her posture droops.
Here is a pitiful stooge, pulled
into a situation far beyond her
ability to manage.
The real point of the Inquiry is
proving to America that the
Golding government is totally
corrupt, willing to do anything
to protect Chris Coke.
Not any citizen, but someone
who is accused of being the
leader of what is the Jamaican
Mafia;
just as Al Capone could never
be arrested or convicted by
the corrupt judges of Chicago
of his day, so to Chris Coke.
If one doubted Bruce Golding
was a Criminal Associate of
Chris Coke, the performance of
his Ministers at the Inquiry
has proven it.

I Know Not The Man
Jamaica Labour Party Minister after
Minister...
denies knowing Christopher Coke.
Denies having ever been to Tivoli.
As if asked about some far away enclave
the Minister of National Security looks
into the television camera and lies with
a perfectly straight face.
Apparently, no one knows Christopher Coke.
The same man who held 600 Million Dollars
of Government Contracts via a number of
companies,
the same man who was Bruce Golding's
campaign manager during 2007.
The Same man who strode about JLP
Headquarters, attended conferences, was
a member of the BITU, walked in and out
of Ministries as if a visiting dignitary...
They don't know the Man.
The Man they protected to the point
of incurring US Sanction for refusing
to Extradite...
They don't know the Man.
From August 2009 until May 2010
every possible attempt to prevent
the extradition of Christopher Coke
was attempted.
From hiring a Law Firm, to inviting
American dignitaries to tea, to
pretending not to have received the
Extradition request nor able to find
the documents which legitimised it...
All of this...
including the Inquiry....
for a man.
They don't know.
That they would lie to this extent
moves the Inquiry from Comedy into
Surreal.
Do they actually think the Jamaican
People are that stupid?
Yes, there are JLP supporters who have
switched off their brains, adopted Zombie
mode and fight to defend what is
indefensible.
The basic point...
If Christopher Coke was so unimportant,
so unknown...
why did they do everything possible
to prevent his extradition?

The Owner of the Brain
A large percentage of Jamaicans receive their
opinions from those who stand in Courtyards
outside of Party Headquarters.
Behind the closed doors of the Conference
Room leaders cut and paste and package.
Those who dwell in the Lobby hear what is
selected for them.
Lobby dwellers race into the Courtyard
to spread what they almost heard about
what they don't know.
Those in the Courtyard advise the Country.
(those in the country who have exiled their
minds to the Party), what their opinions are.
Veranda Sitters, those 'stalwarts' who have
never attended a rally, are not listed in
the Membership of the Party, who may, if it
is not too inconvenient, vote for the Party,
will 'run' with what they heard from someone
who spoke to someone who heard if from someone
who was standing in the Courtyard.
1% of the Jamaican population own fully
operational brains. They know 'how it goes'.
They know about Closed Doors, and Lobby
Lurkers, and the mob which teems in the
Courtyard
1% of Jamaicans do their own research, match
their own facts, make up their own minds.
For this 1% the 'revelations' of the Commission
of Inquiry into the 'Dudus' affair contains
little new evidence.
That Dorothy Lightbourne will be sacrificed
has long been expected.
She and Brady were frills. Only Bruce Golding
and his pet Vaz there is no one in the JLP
government who is not expendable.
The Labourites strangle themselves with
their tongues trying to match what they
heard from someone who heard something
from someone who heard it from someone
who was in the Courtyard contra what is
revealed at the inquiry, contra what they
heard last year.
Behind the Closed Doors on Belmont Road
it was long decided that the corruption
inherent in the Extradition request for
Chris Coke would reach as high as
Lightbourne and stop there.
For the past two years she has known her fate.
She has kept herself aback from National Events,
only occasionally making a fool of herself in
Parliament.
She was appointed Minister of Justice because
Bruce needed to control Justice.
She knew from the day she was offered the
appointment she was to consign her soul to
Bruce Golding. She was to do whatever he
demanded, be it legal or not.
Delroy Chuck was pushed out of the fray, made
Speaker of the House, because he would not
sacrifice his credibility to please a hollow
corrupt man.
Clive Mullins was flung onto the backbench
because he would not interpret the law to
match this season's expediencies.
Only Dotty Lightbourne would sell her
integrity for the meaningless title of
Minister of Justice while the office is
a toy of a man who never attended Law School.
Those who get their opinions prepackaged from
the Courtyard do not know that the next
installment will call for Lightbourne's
resignation, hence they continue to bleat
about what they don't know.
Only those with fully operational brains
under their own jurisdiction can appreciate
that from the moment the extradition request
was received Golding instructed his people
to suppress it.
Only the Commish, whose wife worked for
the American Embassy could not pretend he
didn't know.
That is why he was replaced.
From the moment the extradition request was
received Golding made up his mind to do all
in his power to thwart it.
Not for any legal reason, nor ideas of
rights or nationalism, but because he
was afraid of what Dudus might say if
questioned.
Golding hired American law firms, had
various off the record meetings, tried
every form of pressure he could use, to
thwart the Extradition.
He was not protecting just Dudus.
There is a lot Jamaica doesn't know about
Bruce Golding, a lot which may be revealed
at the trial of Dudus.
If Dudus lives to trial.

The Civil Service
In other nations, to join the civil service
requires a high level of education.
In other nations one is given a fairly
difficult examination, then ranked before
posting.
One simply doesn't reach a position because
she can wide out her leg.
One can come to work every day for twenty
years but is never promoted beyond their
level of competence.
In other countries, the Permanent Secretary
can and does run the Ministry,while the
politician appointed as Minister can posture.
Jamaica, being a kakiscracy does it a bit
differently.
The old fling down gals are shoved into
pensionable positions so that the Big Man
can marry his new young wifeypoo without
any danger one of these old tegeregs will
make trouble.
Failed politicians, guys who made big
contributions to the Party, idiot relatives
are shoved into the civil service where
they can be trusted to screw up just
about anything.
In most cases no one notices. Things
drag on in standard confusion. It is
only when 'something happens' and one
of these morons is put on public
display that the world can appreciate
that the civil service of Jamaica is
staffed by people of extremely low
intellect and ability.
If you knew that next week you would
be called to give evidence concerning
a particular matter, you would, no
doubt review all documentation, and
endeavour to remember every thing that
was said, done, by whom, where, when,
and why.
In Jamaica, the most important thing
is hairstyle. You must insure you get
a hairdresser appointment the morning
of your appearance.
In Jamaica, you must buy a new outfit
of a certain standard.
You must have your nails done. You
must select the right jewelry.
This takes up the time where one would
be refreshing their memory so that they
would not make a perfect ass hole of
themselves before the nation.
Of course, when one deals with double
digit I.Q.s, with people who believe
'how it looks' is more important than
'what it is', you can expect that
perfectly coiffed mannequin to find
dates, times, names and places not as
important as the colour of her lipstick.
Had a person of some quality been placed
in the position; a person who know the
terms of service, who was capable of
fulfilling the role, then there would be
no need for the inquiry.
Second rate attorneys wouldn't appear
so astute questioning a person who has
an I.Q. on par with their helper.
What assists the Government in getting
away with all forms of irregularity is
that the persons installed in positions
which previously required the highest
integrity and ability are so substandard
that their evidence can not be relied
upon.
The Commissioners can not come to a
judgement based on evidence so fragile
one can not be sure of its veracity.
Golding knows the caliber of persons
appointed. He knows their testimony
is worthless.
This is why he created the Commission.
