General Discussion / Towards SAUTTing out our blimping crime problem
« on: March 08, 2013, 05:40:56 AM »Towards SAUTTing out our blimping crime problem
Published:
Friday, March 8, 2013
GILLIAN LUCKY
I have deliberately made the subject of this article simple and straight to the point because, quite frankly, I am disappointed in regime after regime failing to build on the workable crime-fighting initiatives of the administration before them.
Our crime problem mushroomed before our eyes and, instead of addressing the situation in a holistic manner and placing competent individuals to lead the charge, the options chosen proved to be no more than plasters covering sores.
I never thought the day would come when I would miss the airship which we all fondly called the blimp as we accused this crime-fighting tool of being no more than a spy ship that had nothing better to do than eavesdrop on conversations as it floated in the sky.
Although the Minister of National Security at the time when the airship was in full flight always came to its defence, explaining that it was an intelligence-gathering piece of equipment that was playing a fundamental role in fighting crime, nobody believed him because there was no significant reduction in criminal activity.
To make the blimping matter worse, the population was never given a satisfactory explanation about the capacity and capability of the airship to gather crucial information to detect criminal activity, so, unfortunately, it remained the subject of ridicule.
And while I do appreciate that it would have been a breach of security to place the specific details of the operations of the blimp in the public domain, much more should have been done to educate law-abiding citizens about the work and achievements of the blimp in the fight against crime.
SAUTT it Out
For the past five years, I have been tracking the crime statistics that deal with the reporting and detection of serious and violent crimes and, over that period, the figures show that the average detection rate moved from a dismal 24 per cent to an abysmal 14 per cent.
Obviously, there is insufficient resort to scientific means to detect criminals and the bandits are way ahead of those involved in law enforcement in terms of high-powered weaponry and use of technology.
Initially, I too was very wary when SAUTT was established because its operations were meant to be a well-kept secret and little was done to promote the achievements of this organisation.
In 2009, I accepted an invitation to visit SAUTT at its Cumuto location and I was thoroughly impressed with its operations. SAUTT focused on best practices in investigations and the use of technology to detect the identity of criminals. SAUTT provided training in all aspects of law enforcement and, without exaggeration, its labs were similar to those seen in shows such as NCIS and CSI.
SAUTT ensured that its officers were subjected to the highest scrutiny as part of the recruitment exercise and, even with its deficiencies, the organisation was taking law enforcement, especially in the area of crime detection, to the next level.
The previous regime was advised and later warned that legislation should be brought to the Parliament to ensure that SAUTT was operating within a legal framework and to promote the accomplishments of the organisation.
But the advice was not taken and, at the first opportunity, this regime dismantled SAUTT without fully appreciating its role in the crime fight. With no SAUTT in existence, we have lost an organisation that was assisting in crime detection and improving investigating techniques.
And it has all been to the benefit of the criminals.
Read the Reports
Recently I was forced to do the dreaded task of going through boxes containing documents dealing with the administration of justice and the fight against crime. Some of the articles and cases that I kept stored for years are as relevant today as they were years ago when I sat as an MP and on the Crime and Justice Commission.
I took the opportunity to read the reports of several local legal luminaries and distinguished individuals who chaired committees that were mandated to make recommendations to upgrade the administration of justice and fight crime.
I lamented that the time frame for the implementation of the recommendations has been too long and it is for that reason we are losing the war against crime. The current regime inherited the crime scourge, but much more has to be done in a short time if we are to bring criminals to justice.
I continue to advocate for the establishment of a national crime board comprising representatives from all the major stakeholders involved in crime detection, criminal prosecution and the administration of justice.
The board must not comprise any politicians but will of course be expected to update the executive on its findings, concerns, initiatives and recommendations.
We must go after the criminals now, with full force, within the parameters of the law. Otherwise we will be fighting a losing battle.
At lease you admitting Martin Joseph know what he was about .

General Discussion / 'Nightmare' bacteria spreading in U.S. hospitals, nursing homes: CDC
« on: March 06, 2013, 06:51:57 PM »'Nightmare' bacteria spreading in U.S. hospitals, nursing homes: CDC
.
Half of those infected die from this antibiotic-resistant bacteria
By Steven Reinberg
(HealthDay News) -- A "nightmare" bacteria that is resistant to powerful antibiotics and kills half of those it infects has surfaced in nearly 200 U.S. hospitals and nursing homes, federal health officials reported Tuesday.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said 4 percent of U.S. hospitals and 18 percent of nursing homes had treated at least one patient with the bacteria, called Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), within the first six months of 2012.
"CRE are nightmare bacteria. Our strongest antibiotics don't work and patients are left with potentially untreatable infections," CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden said in a news release. "Doctors, hospital leaders and public health [officials] must work together now to implement the CDC's 'detect and protect' strategy and stop these infections from spreading."
"The good news," Frieden added at an afternoon teleconference, "is we now have an opportunity to prevent its further spread." But, he continued, "We only have a limited window of opportunity to stop this infection from spreading to the community and spreading to more organisms."
CRE are in a family of more than 70 bacteria called enterobacteriaceae, including Klebsiella pneumoniae and E. coli, that normally live in the digestive system.
In recent years, some of these bacteria have become resistant to last-resort antibiotics known as carbapenems.
Although CRE bacteria are not yet found nationwide, they have increased fourfold within the United States in the past decade, with most cases reported in the Northeast.
Health officials said they're concerned about the rapid spread of the bacteria, which can endanger the lives of patients and healthy people. For example, in the last 10 years, the CDC tracked one CRE from one health-care facility to similar facilities in 42 states.
One type of CRE, a resistant form of Klebsiella pneumoniae, has increased sevenfold in the past decade, according to the CDC's March 5 Vital Signs report.
"To see bacteria that are resistant is worrisome, because this group of bacteria are very common," said Dr. Marc Siegel, clinical associate professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City.
Most CRE infections to date have been in patients who had prolonged stays in hospitals, long-term facilities and nursing homes, the report said.
The bacteria kill up to half the patients whose bloodstream gets infected and are easily spread from patient to patient on the hands of health-care workers, the CDC said.
Moreover, CRE bacteria can transfer their antibiotic resistance to other bacteria of the same type.
This problem is the result of the overuse of antibiotics, Siegel said. "The more you use an antibiotic, the more resistance is going to emerge," he said. "This is an indictment of the overuse of this class of antibiotic."
What's needed are new antibiotics, Siegel said, adding that pharmaceutical companies lack the financial motivation to develop them right now. "Eventually, there will be enough resistance so drug companies will have a financial incentive. In the meantime, lives can be lost," he said.
Added Dr. Ghinwa Dumyati, associate professor of medicine at the University of Rochester in New York: "At this time, our best prevention is detection and infection control. The incidence [of CRE] is low and we are looking to prevent it before it gets much higher and we cannot control it."
To beat back the spread of these bacteria, the CDC wants hospitals and other health-care facilities to take the following steps:
• Enforce infection-control precautions.
• Group together patients with CRE.
• Segregate staff, rooms and equipment to patients with CRE.
• Tell facilities when patients with CRE are transferred.
• Use antibiotics carefully.
Additional funding of research and technology is critical to prevent and quickly identify CRE, the CDC said.
Countries where CRE is more common have had some success controlling it.
Israel, for example, worked to reduce CRE in its 27 hospitals, and CRE rates dropped by more than 70 percent. Some U.S. facilities and states have also seen similar reductions, the agency said.
"We have seen in outbreak after outbreak that when facilities and regions follow the CDC's prevention guidelines, CRE can be controlled and even stopped," Dr. Michael Bell, acting director of the CDC's Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion, said in the news release. "As trusted health-care providers, it is our responsibility to prevent further spread of these deadly bacteria."
Siegel said there are measures patients can take to reduce their risk of infection. "No. 1 on the list is [not to] wish that your hospital stay is extended. Patients think they are safer at the hospital, but that may not be true," he said. "And try to go into a clean hospital."
Patients should also make sure doctors and staff wear gloves and wash their hands when treating them, he said.

Help is continuing to pour in for Geeta Maharaj and her two children who have been living in a hunter’s camp in Tableland for the past few years. The family’s plight was brought to the attention of Guardian Media Limited by Ian Puntai, of the St James Presbyterian Church. In an interview, Puntai said he was overwhelmed by the number of people, both locally and abroad, who wanted to assist the family.
“We have collected a lot of food, clothing, stationary for them but what they really need is a proper home of their own to stay,” Puntai said. He added that people have offered to contribute financially towards building a house for Maharaj and her two children. “Some people also offered to rent a place for them to live so they will not have to walk four miles to get to school but we are finding it difficult to get a place to rent,” Puntai said.
He added that he was wary of collecting cash on the family’s behalf and planned to open a bank account for them next week. Puntai also explained that some of the items are being boxed for other needy families. “The food supplies are numerous and we are sharing it with other poor families,” Puntai revealed. He also said the Sai Baba Movement had also expressed interest in building a home for Maharaj and her children.
Meanwhile, Housing Minister Dr Roodal Moonilal said officials of HDC will contact the family to see whether they qualify for a house. Television talk show host Inshan Ishmael also contacted the Guardian and said funds were being raised to help the family. Maharaj and her children live about four miles inside Mc Sween Road, George Village, Tableland. Every day, Maharaj walks with her children to Nipal Presbyterian School where she drops them off. Their hunter’s camp has no electricity and is overrun with rats.
The children spend their free time collecting firewood for Maharaj to cook. They study using a kerosene flambeau and has never watched television or played video games. Maharaj does domestic jobs for her neighbours. Her ex-husband pays $1,300 in maintenance for the children, which she uses for food. Anyone wanting to help the family can contact them at 656-3160.

General Discussion / Manning, the Oligarchs, Narcotics and Change in Trinidad and Tobago
« on: February 27, 2013, 10:15:35 AM »Manning, the Oligarchs, Narcotics and Change in Trinidad and Tobago
By Chad Modeste .
This have any truth in it, could this be for real ?
It is understandable that many Trinbagonians are still very perturbed by former Prime Minister Patrick Manning's calling of an early election which ended in agonizing defeat for him and his party, the People's National Movement (PNM). Understandable because most of them, including citizens in the wider world haven't a clue as to how politics truly functions. They wholeheartedly and sadly believe what they see on television, hear on radio stations and read in newspapers and magazines. But things heard and seen in the print and electronic media concerning politics are almost always 26 light years away from reality.
Knowledge of surreptitious individuals slithering behind stage curtains hidden from public scrutiny and dictating to political leaders is an essential before discussing politics. Monarchs, Presidents, Prime Ministers and Dictators throughout history have always answered to them and are fully aware of the penalties surrounding disobedience. These are the faceless juggernauts that call the shots and possess all the power, resources and money to fulfill most of their temporal desires in the present socio-economic-politico construct.
In Trinidad and Tobago, some call them the oligarchs, in the wider world and to researchers like me, those lacking respect for national sovereignty, boundaries or independent governments and pull the strings of public figures are known as the global elite. Eighteenth century British Prime Minister Sir William Pitt had this to say on the topic, "There is something behind the throne greater than the king himself, there is a power behind the throne." Mayor of New York City in the 1920s John Hylan stated that "The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government." German nationalist and financial advisor to Kaiser Wilhelm II and the French Rothschilds, Walter Rathenau said in 1922 that "There is a committee of 300 men who rule the world and call the shots." And 32nd President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt wrote, in 1933 that "The real truth of the matter is as you and I know, is that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson."
Political scientists and analysts taking seriously the left, right, republican, democrat, liberal, conservative, labour or any other system designed to divide human beings, are either intentionally leading persons astray or have no idea what they're babbling about. There isn't any side, only the manipulators and the manipulated.
In Trinidad and Tobago the oligarchs who answer via stealth networks to the global elite amalgamated and decided that Prime Minister Patrick Manning had to go. They wanted him gone not because he committed any political sin but because of his unwitting meddling in their affairs. You see Trinidad and Tobago has a parallel drug economy, inclusive of a potent money laundering operation worth 52 billion TT dollars a year. Manning with his drive to destroy the local trade, which is partly responsible for much of the murders in the country was also trampling on their international transshipment turf with his various anti-drug efforts. The International Narcotics Control Strategy Reports, issued by the U.S. State Department have long listed Trinidad and Tobago as the prime transshipment hub for tons of 95% pure South American cocaine going to especially Western Europe. And it surely isn't youths on petty crack blocks with chopped ounces involved in moving that tonnage in sea and air vessels. They don't possess the connections (blood, business or otherwise) and are completely ignorant of the delicacy needed and logistics involved in such an undertaking.
Encouraged by the international authorities to lend support to the so-called war on drugs in the Caribbean, Prime Minister Manning unveiled an ambitious plan in response to the call. It included the Special Anti-crime Unit or SAUTT; a radar system in the eastern and southern Caribbean; an airship called the blimp which monitored things from the sky; modern helicopters; and interceptor crafts and fast patrol vessels. It was a fledgling enterprise which understandably didn't yield many significant arrests considering the years those involved had under their belts perfecting the trade. But was a daring start which scared the genuine organized cartels along with the independent bottom feeders and in fact limited the amount of product on the streets of Trinidad and Tobago. But whether big baron or small peddler they all clearly understood the implications of such a plan gelling over time and functioning as a well oiled machine. They all knew that the narco business in and around T&T was living on borrowed time.
Already startled, the organized syndicates in Trinidad and Tobago became further agitated when the Prime Minister announced his intention to purchase 3 large Offshore Patrol Vessels or OPVs to secure the coast lines as well as the Gulf of Paria. Alarm bells of panic reverberated throughout the upper echelons of the narcotics world and the united cry was "something had to be done." That something was Manning's removal from office. Two ways would've been naturally pondered, bloodletting via an assassin or constant vilification in the media. Too dangerous on various levels, the first idea would've been abandoned even before formal discussion and thus the second, the most effective way of destroying a public figure without leaving loose ends was chosen.
While his removal was being hatched the major opposition party dislodged its longstanding leader Basdeo Panday and replaced him with Kamla Persad-Bissessar, a woman touted as the poster-child for change and new politics. She was subsequently built up in the press as Trinidad and Tobago's saviour, equipped with the necessary talents and capabilities to drag the country further than any past leader. The gender issue was also exploited, abused and milked completely dry. Prime Minister Patrick Manning on the other hand was constantly demonized and chastised in the press as a tyrannical failure and arrogant megalomaniac whose tenure was inimical to the twin Republic. All of his contributions, accomplishments and hard work were conveniently forgotten or completely ignored.
Making a caricature of several controversial issues, the compromised press succeeded in forcing vast sections of the population to foolishly believe that Persad-Bissessar was an archangel perched atop a white horse and Manning a creature with cloven hooves, horns and a long tail. Convincing a populace prone to thinking with emotions is always easier than a Sunday morning and the hidden masters who controlled the media had a shinning star in this new and improved wonder woman.
The reputed father of Public Relations Edward Bernays stated that "If you manufacture an authoritative figure who repeats the same messages over and over again, this will appeal to the subconscious desires of the masses. The unwashed masses will helplessly follow the leader and go along with any message they spout." Even those who halfheartedly followed the election could easily recall Kamla Persad-Bissessar's constant repetitiveness regarding "change", "unity", "real development", "new politics" and "we will rise".
The artificially created atmosphere which heralded the May 2010 election witnessed mendacity, deceit and picong taken to novel levels. The opposition parties formed a coalition called the People's Partnership and easily trounced Manning and his PNM at the election polls. The oligarchs were triumphant; the stone in their shoes was removed and replaced with a cruel hoax. Now Trinidad and Tobago has a pathetic administration which promised deliverance of the sun, moon and all the other planets; a leader who's not only a demagogue but also has pathological issues with the creature; and verdant ministers not au courant with the realities of governing a polarized, problematic, cosmopolitan twin island nation. At an economic standstill, the country also floats dangerously near the low tides of regression.
More disturbing is the new government's meticulous dismantling of all Manning's anti-drug initiatives and the scant regard shown to securing Trinidad and Tobago's borders, coastlines and waters. Vilified as nugatory for almost a decade the feared blimp was immediately erased from the skies; accused of spying on the new Prime Minister, SAUTT's head was sacked, general operation stultified and the entire unit subsequently disbanded; the high-tec helicopters, fast patrol vessels and interceptor crafts are rarely used; no one is sure as to the current status of the radar system; and purchase of the dreaded OPVs has been permanently cancelled. The British company charged with building them has also slipped into very hot legal waters in the USA making complete the destruction of Manning's anti-narcotics machinery.
The global elite are obviously elated with Manning's removal because while they pretend to not be a part of the narcotics scene, they're in fact the owners of this multi-trillion dollar trade in the destruction of human life. It was they who created it when the decision was taken to "rightly balance trade" by dumping tons of opium on Chinese society in the 19th century via the British East India Company. They later created and introduced heroin, fomented the Vietnam War to, in part help further the availability of this addictive narcotic during the flower power period, and from the late 1970s skillfully constructed the South American cocaine cartels via transnational intelligence agencies. Some of the faces they control on the global political stage know exactly what is going down while most others are none the wiser. They supervise a mock war on drugs, ask leaders in the developing world to assist them in this farce and cut those leaders down if they display any genuine desire to fight the trade. Like their stooge Karl Marx, they continue to turn Hegel on his head.
Former Prime Minister Patrick Manning was a victim of this type of duplicity and many of those in the Trinidad and Tobago media who viciously maligned him were prostituted in the interest of the sinister narcotic enterprise. Others jumped on the Manning bashing bandwagon without asking from whence it came or what its destination was. The smear campaign against him had nothing, in reality to do with John Calder Hart and UDECOTT, the Guanapo Church, The Property Tax, the Trinidad and Tobago Revenue Authority, smelter, squandermania and constructing tall buildings. These issues, important as they were, were only used to hide the real motive for the sustained media attacks on the Prime Minister. Manning and his OPVs et al stood in the way of the smooth continuation of a multi-trillion dollar illegal business venture which involves the waters and coastlines of, along with a lot of seemingly legitimate individuals from, Trinidad and Tobago. His plans also threatened the opulent but dishonest livelihood of others in South America, the Caribbean, North America, Africa and Europe.
Today you can hear citizens in wonderland and without a clue as to what is really going on still blaming Manning for "mashing up the PNM" while others, embarrassed by the raw incompetence of the new government they supported, claim that Manning was the problem and not the PNM. This is precisely what the global elitist; Caribbean oligarchs; the long list of dishonest money laundering business people and venal politicians desires all and sundry to forever believe. Trinbagonians were hoodwinked, bamboozled, flimflammed, swindled, fooled and lied to by a compromised, reliably uniformed media all in the name of DRUGS. What a lowdown, dirty shame it all is.

« on: February 26, 2013, 01:36:22 PM »Security Centre man back in T&T
Flying Squad issue...
Published:
Tuesday, February 26, 2013
Director of the National Security Operations Centre Garvin Heerah reportedly returned to the country yesterday. However, the T&T Guardian was unable to contact him at his office yesterday for comment on the Flying Squad issue.
When a T&T Guardian team visited his office at Riverside Plaza, Port-of-Spain, yesterday, staff offered conflicting statements on his whereabouts. After being informed of the name of the media house, an official told the T&T Guardian: "We thought he was in the office but were told he left to attend a meeting at the Ministry of National Security."
Another official said: "Mr Heerah has not returned to T&T." Internal e-mails from the Ministry of National Security showed Heerah was aware that premises were being sought last year for the New Flying Squad Investigation Unit.
Eight vehicles for the unit were leased from Miscellaneous Marketing Ltd, El Socorro, after Heerah gave the go-ahead. Heerah answers to the Ministry of National Security which is headed by Jack Warner.
Warner said Heerah was expected to return to the country over the weekend and was due to submit a report on the squad in 24 hours. E-mails showed the ministry's accountant, Rocky Pacheco, was also in contact with members of the NFSIU. Retired police inspector Mervyn Cordner has repeatedly claimed Warner recalled him to head the unit.
Warner, however, has denied any knowledge of the NFSIU and said those culpable would be "dealt with." Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, who is head of the National Security Council, and who last year left it up to Warner whether the unit would be set up, has ordered him to submit a report following the revelations.
The unit, which has to be sanctioned by the Commissioner of Police (CoP), operated outside the T&T Police Service. The acting CoP has also said he was unaware of the NFSIU until he read the T&T Guardian story that exposed its illegal setting-up.

Water and electricity are basic necessities, but for six-year-old Calib and seven-year-old Corina Legendre, these utilities are a luxury. The children along with their mother Geeta Maharaj-Legendre, live in an abandoned hunter’s camp in the bush about four miles off McSween Trace, George Village, Tableland.
Although faced with abject poverty, they tried to smile when the T&T Guardian recently visited their home. As they crouched together on a makeshift bench, Maharaj-Legendre said her children do their schoolwork using a kerosene flambeau.
While other children play electronic games or watch television for recreation, Calib and Corina spend their spare time collecting rainwater and searching through the bush for dry firewood for their mother to cook with. Their meals are prepared on an open fire and breathing in the smoke has caused Calib to suffer fwith asthma.
A bumpy, gravel track leads to the hut, which is overrun by bush rats. The wooden structure has open air windows and rickety stairs. It is owned by an affluent family who once used it for weekend escapades. But for the Legendre family, the simple wooden hut is their sanctuary.
Maharaj-Legendre said she depends on their teachers and villagers for clothing and food. Her husband, who walked out on them five years ago, pays $1,300 in child support, and this is what Maharaj-Legendre uses to sustain her family.
Maharaj-Legendre said she wanted a better life for her two children who attend the Nipal Presbyterian School. “I don’t know how to read or write but I want to educate my children. I don’t want them to be dependent on people. My son wants to be a policeman,” she said.
Their education comes first, she says. But the lack of basic necessities at home has made it difficult for them to excel. Maharaj-Legendre explained that because of the distance to their school and the lack of funds for transport, her children must walk four miles each day to get an education.
“They get up at 5 am and by the time they reach to school for 7 am, they feel tired. They complain that their feet hurt. I would drop them, walk back home and prepare their meals and wash their clothes. Then I walk back to school to bring them home,” Maharaj-Legendre said.
After doing their homework, the two children then go to bed at 5 pm, just before nightfall. “I have to light a flambeau and at nights we can hear the rats running in the roof,” Maharaj-Legendre said. Maharaj-Legendre said the hunters’ hut is isolated and dark at nights. “At times it is scary, but we all stay close together and sleep.”
Ian Puntai of the St James Presbyterian School who alerted the T&T Guardian to the family’s plight said he was concerned for the children. He said Maharaj-Legendre would often load her dirty clothes on a trolley and walk four miles to his home. “We would help her wash. I use my van to drop her off sometimes,” Puntai said. He added that Maharaj-Legendre also stores her flour, rice and other dry goods in buckets at his home to keep them away from the rats.
The children collect water for cooking from a tank which is connected to a rainwater spout. Puntai called on good samaritans to help the family. He said his church was willing to build a proper home for Maharaj-Legendre and her children if she had a piece of land. He also called on Housing Minister Dr Roodal Moonilal to assist the children. Anyone wanting to help the family can contact Puntai at 656-3160.
I wonder how many more families it have like this in Trinbago.

SuperBlue’s praise and warning
Published: Wednesday, February 20, 2013
Tony Fraser
Has this been the most complex, most self-searching, yet free-spirited leggo (road march) of all time? Has an artiste ever bared his soul, thanked God for his deliverance, warned a generation about the dangers of drug abuse and addiction, yet so freed the spirit of a nation to bounce and celebrate the rhythms of a people in the manner that SuperBlue/ Blue Boy has done with his song, so innocently yet so meaningfully titled Fantastic Friday?
Maybe there has been, but with typical myopia, we in this generation may want to believe that this cosmic revelation (to borrow from historian Rudy Piggott) has come in our times because of our genius. Fantastic Friday is a praise song in the manner of Rudder’s thankfulness for the father giving the vibrations for “the ragamuffin (a sense of people being so unworthy in themselves) to congregate,” to receive blessings notwithstanding their intrinsic unworthiness.
But it is also a warning, as SuperBlue demonstrated on the night of Fantastic Friday when he used the spiritual father of the soca, Ras Shorty I, to warn a generation of the mind-bending and body-demolishing job caused by “the lady with the bag of white powder who don’t want to powder yuh face but bring shame and disgrace to the human race.”
Listen to it in the all but destroyed vocals of SuperBlue struggling for articulation; see it in his movements, still rhythmic but nowhere near the sure-footedness and smooth-flowing Blue Boy of 1980 when he came from Baptist Road in Point with a chant.
Now heralding his return is the sound of the bugle, still within his spiritual field and for his benefit, the bell of the mother welcoming, warning, admonishing, announcing the sailor come ashore, at the same time portending freedom to all who are willing to submit to the power of the peals.
“Well, ah pray and ah pray for a day like today, bright and shining… if the Lord is our Shepherd who shall we fear…de party start, Fantastic Friday…sincerely from your heart thank God it’s Friday…a voice from out d blue, thank God it’s Friday.” Freedom day for a voice, a spirit, a human who has undergone degradation, ridicule and at times reduced to being less than human: “Halle, Hallelujah, thank God for soca.”
The true High Priest of Soca of the times sings “to inform, educate, culturally,” to teach that there are storylines beyond jamming some woman or drinking rum. His composition challenges the young soca artistes to look for lyrics, to search for and to create melodies that will contain the energy of the times.
“Ah wining but decently”—the message Blue Boy sent a couple decades ago in Rebecca remains relevant in Fantastic Friday. In the composition, there is not one line, one urging of the crowd to get on “wassi,” however that is spelt. Yet SuperBlue has been able to find the lyrics and the energy of rhythm to allow the Carnival to be spontaneous, to celebrate to give vent to the urge to celebrate, but to do so within limits imposed by propriety and good sense.
And this is where SuperBlue has done what the truly great calypsonians and soca artistes have achieved: span eras of time and still be relevant. He has marched into the times of Machel, Iwer, Bunji, Kees, Fay-Ann, Swappi and others and not only out-created them, but has done so by setting down markers for the next age of soca—meaningful themes (storytelling) couched in a story format that has interest, even intrigue.
Can the new breed of soca artistes take up the challenge? SuperBlue has stated that he has created compositions for 2014. The challenge will be for the young artistes to create anew and not seek to outdo each other by flying through space in a Superman costume but through quality music and the theme-oriented lyrical compositions.
Now what of the man himself? As first expressed in a column three weeks ago, win, lose or draw, SuperBlue will require reintegration, continuing rehabilitation and support to “make it through the night.” The standard response of this society has been to sit back, judge, wag fingers at and “run we mouth” on those who have fallen off the track.
From our international experience, those caught in the vice-like grip of substance abuse cannot by themselves wrench free. Many have wriggled free temporarily only to be once again entangled.
Required is institutional support for a man who has struggled with his demons. Super, undoubtedly with the assistance of others and in answer to his own prayers, has shown himself willing and capable of returning; he needs additional support. He needs the continuing love and assistance from the tens of thousands who reached out to him during the Carnival.
The takeaway message from Fantastic Friday to the national community must be to wonder at the quality and quantity of resources being lost to the drug menace and the need for us to free a missing generation.

Guys you ever notice stories about Jack Warner has very few paper trail but there is always some sort of word of mouth to it.
I heard about this lawyer working in one of the TV stations left Trinbago to handle the situation with young Warner ,i don't know who that lawyer is but people who live in Trinbago should know him.
This story coming out in little pieces, the media is afraid to make any comments about it, but to come out it will.

...I am no part of this covert operation
Published:
Sunday, February 3, 2013
Anika Gumbs-Sandiford
Acting Commissioner of Police (CoP) Stephen Williams
Acting Commissioner of Police (CoP) Stephen Williams has described the secretly revived Flying Squad as illegal. In an exclusive interview with the T&T Guardian on Friday, retired police inspector Mervyn Cordner claimed Minister of National Security Jack Warner approached him to head the covert unit.
But yesterday, Williams distanced himself, saying, “I can speak for myself and say that I, acting CoP Stephen Williams, am not aware of and am no part of this covert operation. “I, Stephen Williams, never met Mervyn Cordner. I am speaking for myself. “The information brought to my attention is a matter that raises great concern of whether there is an illegal group purporting to do legal things.
“I would like to give the public the assurance I am going to get to the bottom of what has been revealed. This matter will be immediately investigated. I am thankful this matter has been brought to my attention. Anything illegal, I have to investigate. I have to find out if this is a vigilante unit. I am extremely concerned.”
The Flying Squad, which was disbanded in the 1980s, was revived in July 2012 and has been working out of a building at Factory Road, Golden Grove, Arouca. In a candid interview on Friday, Cordner said a crime plan was submitted to Warner and a budget of $180 million requested to carry out operations for a period of two years.
However, Cordner said, the lack of funding has stumped the work of the unit. The Flying Squad, according to Cordner, comprises 75 retired officers who previously worked at various state enterprises that include the police, prison service, Immigration Division, Telecommunication Authority of T&T and the T&T Electricity Commission.
Reiterating his concern over the revelations, Williams said, “A Flying Squad is a law-enforcement unit set up for a particular purpose of high-activity enforcement in T&T. “I cannot speak for Cordner’s claim. What I can say is that I have never engaged Cordner and 75 other people.
“I have never been part of a meeting with Minister of National Security and Cordner. Any meeting Cordner would have had with anybody, it was not with me. You need to speak to the relevant minister and Cordner,” Williams stressed.
Covert operations and the Ministry of National Security
Williams said the setting up of such a unit should be endorsed by the commissioner of police, but he had not given any such authorisation. He pointed out that historically, covert operations functioned under the Ministry of National Security. Among them, he said, were the Strategic Intelligence Agency, Strategic Service Agency and the Special Anti-Crime Unit of T&T (SAUTT).
“It is normal for the Ministry of National Security to have covert operations, but when you are dealing with law enforcement, those people operate under the authority of the CoP. When SAUTT operated, the officers who were assigned to SAUTT operated under the authority of the CoP,” Williams said.
SAUTT was established in 2003 and disbanded in August 2011 by the People’s Partnership Government. Williams said he learned of the Flying Squad from the story in yesterday’s T&T Guardian. “I will admit it is the first time I have heard of this covert operation headed by Mervyn Cordner.” He dismissed Cordner’s claim that the unit had been instrumental in solving six murders. “That is a stupid story,” he commented.
“Cordner is not contributing directly or indirectly to the homicide bureau of the Police Service of T&T.” Cordner had said information gathered by the unit was passed on to various police divisions to assist in the fight against crime.
Commenting on the developments yesterday, head of the Police Complaints Authority Gillian Lucky said any entity dealing with law enforcement must work within a legal framework. “Any entity that is involved in law enforcement must be structured in such a way that there is total accountability and transparency.
“One must remember that when SAUTT was established, a major complaint made by the then Opposition was that SAUTT was operating outside of a legal framework,” Lucky pointed out. She said any organisation, institution or department involved in investigating highly sensitive matters or engaged in any kind of law-enforcement activity, must work within the parameters of the law and must account to an independent entity or authority.
Lucky added that the public was entitled to know of the existence of such an entity. “I am well aware that when conducting investigations there is a need to be discreet,” Lucky added. “I am not saying the entity is acting outside the law, but there seem to be more questions than answers.”
Cordner: My informants have information on Mohammed
Cordner also said an informant is probing Dr Hafizool Ali Mohammed, a member of the commission of enquiry into the 1990 coup attempt whose academic qualifications have come under scrutiny. Among numerous other academic credentials, Mohammed said he has a master’s degree in military science from the United States Army Command and General Staff College in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
His curriculum vitae does not state what year he graduated. His master’s thesis is not published on the college’s Web site, unlike those of fellow graduates, such as retired Major Gen Edmund Dillon, who graduated in 2001. According to the Web site, the last T&T national to graduate from the university, in 2009, at the rank of Lt Col, was Rodney Smart.
Cordner said the question must be asked who was responsible for bringing Mohammed to T&T. “Somebody brought him,” Cordner pointed out. Mohammed expressed a keen interest in assisting with national security measures in T&T and had contacted Warner to say so. He also made contact with Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Dookeran via e-mail in 2010.
The Government is expected to make a decision next week on Mohammed’s status as a commissioner in the enquiry into the 1990 coup attempt. Telephone calls to Warner went unanswered yesterday.

« on: February 21, 2013, 04:46:43 AM »Eight vehicles leased to start new Flying Squad
Published:
Thursday, February 21, 2013
Anika Gumbs-Sandiford
Miscellaneous Marketing Ltd, a company that leases unmarked vehicles to the T&T Police Service, supplied eight vehicles to the secretly revived new Flying Squad so the unit could start work last year. Acting Commissioner of Police Stephen Williams yesterday confirmed that unmarked vehicles were leased from the company.
"We rent vehicles from numerous companies and Miscellaneous Marketing Ltd is one of those companies. The T&T Police Service owns marked and unmarked vehicles but we lease vehicles to supplement where we have shortages. I have nothing more to say on the matter," Williams said. Newly-appointed director of the National Security Operations Centre (NSOC) Garvin Heerah gave the go-ahead for the vehicles to be released to the unit.
Whether Heerah was acting on his own when the lease agreement was made is unclear, given that the NSOC falls under the purview of the Ministry of National Security, which is headed by line minister Jack Warner. It is also uncertain whether Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, who is head of the National Security Council, was aware of the arrangement.
Sources said Persad-Bissessar, who was due to return from a Caricom meeting in Haiti today, is expected to request a report on the matter. The vehicles leased to the New Flying Squad Investigations Unit (NFSIU) comprised four Nissan X-Trails, two Mitsubshi Tritons, a Nissan Cefiro and a panel van. Heerah is reported as saying the vehicles were loaned by a civilian.
Investigations show the directors of Miscellaneous Marketing Ltd are Sham and Rachel Mohammed, of Temple Street, Duncan Village, San Fernando. The registered office of the company is listed as 12 Bootan Street, Don Miguel Road, San Juan. The company's profile at the Ministry of Legal Affairs registry in Port-of-Spain shows the company was incorporated on April 27, 2006.
When the T&T Guardian visited the company yesterday, a national security panel van was parked outside the building and there were marked and unmarked police cars on the compound. Asked if it was possible to speak to Mohammed, an employee who wished not to be identified said he had gone to a meeting at the Ministry of National Security. On Tuesday, Opposition Leader Dr Keith Rowley called on the PM to clear the air on the new Flying Squad.
Internal e-mails from the Ministry of National Security showed Heerah helped the unit find a base in Aranguez, though it was eventually set up at Factory Road, Golden Grove, Arouca. Warner has denied any knowledge of the unit operating and has requested a report from Heerah, who is expected to return to T&T tomorrow after attending a conference in Argentina.

Despite some red flags raised by international financial regulatory organisations, Trinidad and Tobago has the necessary framework in place to help control money laundering, accounting expert John Davies said yesterday.
Davies, the UK-based head of technical for the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants (ACCA), spoke to reporters yesterday during a break at an Anti-Money Laundering Seminar hosted by the ACCA and the Institute of Chartered Accountants (ICATT) at the Hilton Trinidad, St Ann's.
The seminar was held to sensitise accountants to the latest revisions to international financial standards.
"The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has red flagged T&T in a couple areas so clearly it is not satisfied all the controls and safeguards are there, but from what I've heard there is a lot of political will and engagement to try and make sure it works properly," he said.
In an interview last year with the Business Express, head of the Caribbean arm of the FATF, Calvin Wilson, said the level of compliance with the organisation's regulations in the region was about 40 per cent.
He said the country has the required framework and an active Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) to receive information about suspicious activities; what it needs now is to set the process for this intelligence to be used in the recovery of stolen property and conviction.
