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.

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.

The Manatt Inquiry


There are many documents missing, including
statements from those most involved.

The Commission proceeds on what it has.

The Permanent Secretary, holding herself
tightly, speaking slowly, being asked to
continue after pregnant pauses, paints
the picture those of us who know
"How IT Goes"
expected.

A remarkably weak Attorney General; of
course, she never would have been appointed
if she had not agreed to be a mindless
puppet of Golding.

No matter how many attempts have been made
to obliterate the truth,the facts remain.

For those who were unable to connect
the dots in March of 2010, nor in May,
will have them drawn in...
but they will stop
at the Attorney General.

The Permanent Secretary objected to Manatt's
representative being at a meeting.

The Solicitor General, a useful chap for Golding's
purposes, stated that the minster, Lightbourne,
wanted the Manatt representative there.

Twice.
Twice the P.S. objected.
Twice the P.S. was informed.

This was not a JLP meeting, this was a Gov of
Jamaica meeting; hence Manatt was hired by
the Government of Jamaica.
Not by the JLP.

Golding had tried everything to prevent
Dudus from being extradited, from claims of no
evidence, to inviting U.S. reps to lunch with
his wife.

As America began tightening the
screws, Golding had no choice.

To divert, he had the police invade Tivoli,
as if it were Tikrit, had a lot of people
killed.

Unnecessary of course.

But Golding wanted to 'prove' that removing Dudus
would cause trouble.

Why?

To put it simply, Bruce owes Dudus
Bruce would do all he could to protect him.
However, when it is Bruce's ass in the clamps,
he will sell his mother for spare parts.

Instead of having the capture done maturely,
so that Dudus would be enroute to NY before
anyone knew he was missing, Golding again
proves why he has more in common with
Henry Morgan than his predecessors.

When Morgan got the chance to be Governor
of Jamaica, he turned in his fellow pirates.

Golding, under pressure from the US, aware his
card house had collapsed, spilled a lot of
blood, unnecessary, to divert attention.

That they were his constituents is why it could
happen, as other M.P.s would not sit idly by and
see their voters decimated.

Which turns me back to the expensive
Commission of Inquiry...

What will the Mannatt inquiry actually prove?

It will prove Golding will sell Dorothy
Lightbourne to protect his backside.

Dottie, being a good little labourite will
take the fall.

The more intelligent Labourites will know that
Bruce lied from day one about hiring the law firm.
But they'll hold it silent.

They'll watch Dottie be resigned.

She has nothing to lose, her integrity
is already in tatters.

She will be seen as an incompetent fool who
acted on her own initiative.

The Solicitor General only 'followed orders',
the P.S. objected.

The Commission of Police has already been
replaced, Harold Brady is a non-person.

About 100 Million Dollars from now the
Commission will condemn Lightbourne, and
Bruce will give a patented blank look.

Golding takes us for Idiots



In August 2009 Bruce Golding, assuming the
people of Jamaica were stupider than he was,
began his mendacious plot designed to protect
not just Chris Coke, but to protect himself.

If his project was simply to prevent the
extradition of Chris Coke to the United
States, to stand trial for drug charges,
there were myriad ways he could have ensured
Coke's safety.

The easiest was having him quietly transported
from Jamaica to Brasil where once ensconced,
the police could be activated, and finding no
Coke, Golding would be able to honestly tell
the United States, he is not here.

Reports from Coke could be circulated that he
wanted to watch the 2010 World Cup from Brasil
and had gone down extra early to set himself
up comfortably.

Even though the United States learned Golding
was corrupt before the majority of Jamaicans,
(which is why they leaked the extradition request
to the Commissioner of Police, who has integrity)
they could never prove Golding told Coke to disappear.

Golding could put on his patented 'innocent' face
and lie. No one could prove that Coke had been
forewarned, so the matter would float away.

But Golding, thinking Jamaicans were stupider than
he is, began the process of stripping naked on the
wrong side of one way glass.

Golding, poor thing, never knew that any American
citizen who works for a foreign government must declare it.

Manatt, thinking it had been legitimately hired by
the Jamaican government, proceeded to act.

Why should it not think it was hired by a 'political
party' as Golding tells it, (now that he tells it, but
he never told it between August '09 and May '10)? as
no less than the Solicitor General and a member of
Government in the meetings.

That the money was 'washed' through Harold Brady's Account
is not that shocking. After all, Brady is a lawyer and
lawyers disperse funds on behalf of their clients.

Of course, the fact Golding lied about receiving the
Extradition request, lied about hiring Manatt, probably
lies about what he eats for breakfast is to be forgotten.

Forgotten in the blood of Tivoli, forgotten in his war
against the higglers, many of who live in Tivoli, forgotten
in his establishment of a Commission to Inquire into the
events surrounding the hiring of Manatt.

Like Oscar Wilde, Golding is building the case against
himself.

There must be questions asked of Manatt, questions of the
solicitor general, of Brady, and the ex-Commish of Police.

What Golding wisely ceased, was his threat to sue the ABC
news network, which leaked the fact the Grand Jury of
New York, which indicted Coke, listed him as a Criminal
Associate.

The Prime Minister of Jamaica is a Criminal Associate of
Chris Coke.

Oh how Bruce must of wished the Police killed Coke.

Who Paid Manatt?


Someone should have told Bruce.
Someone should have explained to him that American
firms must report their employment by foreign
nations (or governmental departments of foreign
nations.

Maybe use the term 'spy' so as to make him
get the fact that there is no way to lie it out.

Yeah I know Bruce is a great liar.
I know he's gotten by since short pants days
because he is so good at it.

However, he can't lie this one out.

Manatt claims to have been hired by the Government
of Jamaica and paid by the Government of Jamaica.

Since Bruce claims this is 'a lie' it is being
investigated.
In the United States.
By real people.
Who aren't Jamaicans.

The problem Golding faces is that he thinks the
whole world is Jamaica.

That every agency, every public servant, every
system whether in Washington D.C. or London, is
built on the same principles (or lack thereof)
that apply in Kingston.

He has no comprehension that some people are
actually honest.
Some people actually tell the truth.
Some people don't steal.
Some people are not for sale.

Sure, if Bruce had used some kind of 'local' firm
they'd have been die hard Labourites willing to
sell their children into slavery to please him.

But Manatt is Not a local firm.

There is no money that can drop, no threat that
can be used, no great 'I Am' to terrorise the proles.

Unless someone walked into Manatt with a brown
paper bag full of cash, then they were paid by cheque.

If they accepted a cheque drawn on Harold Brady's
account they are in a great deal of trouble.
Because Governments do NOT pay bills through proxies
unless there is an embargo.

As there is no embargo, (that is Jamaica is not
subject to sanctions so as to employ a middleman)
the cheque MUST have been drawn on a Jamaican
Government Account to prove to Manatt they were
acting on behalf of a Government.

Hence; if Manatt had been so reckless as to accept
money in a brown paper bag, or from a private bank
account, they are going to be put out of business
in America.

Would a major law firm, like Manatt, risk their
existence for $50k US?
(This sum is petty cash at a firm like Manatt).

When do you stop believing?


I made up my mind I would be virtually silent
during the first 18 mos. of Bruce's reign...
too often I blurt the answers to questions
so that other people never get a chance to
think...

Not this time.

I enjoyed the Extradition Request performance
by Golding.

Bold faced lies...fed to the public, which
licked it up like hungry pigs in the pit.

Everyone knows that American citizens and firms
have to declare when they work for foreign govs.

Manatt's declaration proved beyond doubt that
they worked for the Ja. Gov. If they had been
hired by a non-gov agency; i.e. the Red Cross
they would not be forced to declare.

Yet Bruce lies.
Lies that it was the JLP which hired the firm.
Lies that the firm was not hired for Dudus.

Manatt waivers...maybe more money changed hands.
But now, with it's own ass in the clamps, it has
to prove to the US Gov. it acted legally.

So who paid Manatt?
Gov of Ja?
Dudus?
If it is the Gov of Ja; well who authorised that?
We want our money back.
If it is Dudus...
would that be the so-called proceeds of crime or
would that be from the 300M of contracts the Gov.
of Ja awarded him?
And if it is from those Contracts, how were those
contracts executed?
Was one for the road that collapsed in Portmore?

Bruce lies so well, so honestly, and his band
of thieves back him at every turn.

Although some Veranda sitters have gone quiet,
others grasp onto the image of St. Bruce
because they really can't admit how well
they were played.

Manatt More


The fact that Bruce Golding lied about hiring the law firm, keeps cycling.
Of course, outside of a small population of persons who can define the
term 'morality', most shrug.
Politicians lie.
Rain falls.
Fire burns.
Politicians lie.

One wonders if Jamaicans really believe that the money to pay this high
priced American law firm came from the JLP coffers.

It is our tax dollars, it is from the Consolidated Fund.

I wonder how long it is going to take before some one actually does the
paper chase to find out where the money came from.

And the Law firm now claims it wasn't hired to deal with the Chris Coke
matter...um...who else? Whom were they hired for, then?

Bruce Golding?
