Antigua St. John's - Caribarena’s latest recording reveals a conversation between Gaston Browne, Asot Michael, and Lester Bird, in which they discuss elements of the ALP Propaganda machine.
The conversation focuses on the role of James “Tanny” Rose, and the difficulties he, along with Member of Parliament Molwyn Joseph, have been causing for ALP Benefactors.
From this recording, it becomes clear how the ALP enabled business owners to control the flow of media in the country.
After paying the ALP, any of its benefactors, including the above mentioned money launderer, simply had to make a phone call and demand that ZDK refrain from mentioning them in order to avoid being discussed in the media.
This control over the flow of information is most clear when Lester Bird says, “I told Tanny after you all have to ease off of Bill Scott”.
Finally, it must be highlighted that Asot was directly responsible for paying Rose, a journalist, $1,000 a month to speak about topics favoring the ALP, and that Lester Bird even forced the Hadeed family to pay Rose an additional $5,000 a month.

While this is a good thing and GB is following the law, it would be helpful if GB would make the declaration public. Since the Commission is secretive, this is of no value to the electorate.

ANU has lots of of potential, but the country has way too many baggage preventing it from advancing up the ladder of success. Now, unlike many who have been commenting on this forum, I have been calling for ANU to have a "Truth and Reconciliation" hearing (similar to what was done in South Africa) to address past practices in order to bring about some form of closure and help our beloved country heal itself and move on. Will such a thing happen? Not while the people who are responsible for the mess the country is in is actively trying to seek or hold on to power to satisfy their own selfish desires.

...games People play
Many of you, take this game of Politics for a joke in Our Nation. This is because the People live in fear of those whose salary they pay. Quite the contrary in the Nation which you cited. In America, the information which has been presented here in this forum from the WPP, to the Fencing Scandals, to these recordings of Our Governing Officials would have been used to indict many of these same Government Officials, and believe you me, many would have a felony conviction.
As, for Tanny Rose been a Lobbyist...I will donate the award which you think that I deserve to a Fund which would erect a stature of a pair of lips at Knuckle Block. I would trust you to be the Chairman/woman of said Committee. The inscription would read, " the words which came from these lips, tantamount to a gift of a dead Rose."

Speaking of rotting, remember, many of Us have dual citizenship, therefore we understand the semantics of politics, and there is no way, that any Public Official in the USA of any form of Government from School Board to the White House, Congress etc. and these conversations were revealed in the media and there would be no repercussions. Get Real for, We have gotten smart. There would be no public association with known and convicted criminals for such crimes as bribery, forgery, embezzlement etc; some can and will toe the line but they could not be exemplifying the kind of callous behavior which Our Politicians are emanating.
As far as Campaign Financing goes, the donor gives to the National Organizations, which can then distribute the funds to Various Candidates.
So, please this type of rhetoric at the recycling bin.

Corruption is like a suck hole!
What we need is people who are willing to come together and curb/end corrupt practices with stronger and fair laws in place to root it out of society in all places...not just with one but all parties. Let us demand that our politicians and caretakers put their money where there mouth is and signed a contract with the people. Otherwise, at the end of the day.."more will be said than done."

I will see Our Nation again soon, there was a reason why I did this. I wanted to judge for myself what the future would bring. There are many controversies which encomp** your team as well, so, don't think that you're off the hook. Not so easy. The People are rising UP, take a look around. You're no fool, by any stretch of the imagination, however, this Nation is crying out for Equal Rights and Justice...remember Mussolini...some say Hitler's Mercenaries are alive and well in some of your opponents.
My mother, who by the way happens to be 86 years young, has warned me, "dem will kill U..."
Mother, I will never and can never stop, ever stop loving you, but shed no tears of sorrow; for Jah brings joy in the Morning as the sun rises over the Atlantic Ocean unto the shores of Half Moon Bay to Mt. Carmel in Old Road.
You are my Mother, I'll always love you but, Jah is my keeper, and,
...me nu fraid a death, much less man. There is work to be done, and my People, you don't have to pay me nada...ziltch, I require nothing more than for you to fully enjoy the riches of Our birth Rights. POSITIVELY....
Jah Guide People,

The People MUST now demand that money is not the main objective for entering the game called Politricks.
Gaston come clean with the People or your days are numbered and the glory will be short lived. Stand up on two feet with your nature hanging where the Great Universal Gad, God, Jah, Jehoviah, Allah put your testicles; not in your head. We want Leaders who will admonish their own children when they have done wrong and stand by their admonishment even if it hurts them, The same can be done for any and every employee who the People' s taxes pays their Salaries.

How many of you like me are getting UPP "popups" on third party websites- which means that C&W are also being paid off!
We live in fear of Dr BS promise for the future of "social programs" and the now obvious commie and dictatorship asperations, I shudder to think of Antigua's future with UPP, after what we have experienced the last 10 years.

You guys see wrong and say its right.
I can bet you none of you can go on ZDK and say Cutie should be tried in court.
The wrong that the ALP Politicians do can't compare to UPP.
My father was one of Papa Bird's henchmen and he died a few years ago.
The things that my dad said he used to do for Papa Bird made my body run cold and my older sister would become teary eyed......My mom would just bow her head and make the sign of the cross and say" Lord have Mercy".
It was only since my dad got really sick and was on his dying bed he said he had to clear his conscience. The last thing he said to us was" I want to see God face so me haffu talk de truth".
He went into a coma soon after never to wake again.
Blessing or Curse we shall choose this election.

We want to read, discern, digest what the Manifesto's of ALL the Political Party's which are attempting to be a part of the next Government.
This type of reporting should have been done months, years ago with proper investigation done by the Judicial System, to bring charges where necessary and prosecute.
We don't have to turn a rock at Devil's Bridge to find or prove that Politics is a nasty, dirty game. We already know that, and that's a fact; the ONLY winners are the Politicians and their cronies sitting at white linen table cloth, eating and drinking merrily, while the People are fighting like rats under the table for the falling crumbs.
Have anyone seen Ben the Rat? He needs to gather his troops for an attack
