Notes From A Native Son Of The Rock! Every country that practices 'So-Called Western Democracy' has a "Silly Season" - some are very short, some very Long. Looks Like A&B's will be very Long.
It is obvious that information will be leaked by some. It will either be a Chinese Water Torture or WaterBoard of Former members of the Gang of Four. Who Benefits? ALP, UPP & WIO? Be not Fooled. Follow The Money. Information is also in the Public Domain which CA's Journalists will ferret out.
That Politicos will make statements which may seem by some to be threats are subject to interpretation. Woodward just accused the BHO Administration of threatening him for going public with an allegation on the Sequester. Nothing new for journalists when lesser/lower functionaries take umbrage with journalist's tales.
More Cerebral & less Sanguine Observers tend to not let that be their focus.
As you have noted, The Bob Linquist Report is the Document, to which the Public should have Access. Transparency & Accountability lead many to the opinion that the Document came upwith a Dry Oil Man's Hole.
Until 2014, Enjoy "The Silly Season".
Go Well! Respect!

"The only information they have is what I suspect persons have selectively chosen to leak to them". IF THAT TURNS OUT TO BE TRUE, IT WOULD REALLY BE SAD". Nobody could give me "some corn and say run with that". Whatever it is, NOBODY GO READ FOR ME AND THEN WE HAVE A DISCUSSION. I FOR ONE CAN READ AND COME UP WITH MY OWN POSITION AND THEN ENGAGE ANYONE IN A DISCUSSION IN WHAT I WOULD HAVE READ. Anything short of that I really do not care to hear or read.

It seems Carib Arena is in control of this one. I agree with you, release it for all to see. The fact that the editor of this publication is the daughter of the former Prime Minister, compromises the selective releases by Carib Arena. Nothing but the unedited release of the entire report will be acceptable.

While we are at investigating,s ince moneys are scarce,lets do all together. The WPP, Fencing
, missing bathroom, roundabouts, roads , Romantic Rhythm, Car park and Bencorp building,

This is the last thing this country needs...a politician who uses 'threats' and 'fear-mongering ' to 'silence' the media or critics in this country! We must stand up to these types of politician and let them know that they are not 'immuned' to any investigation or criticism. The Wadadli Power Plant, the Fences scandal, Cell Towers, MBS, and other investigations is no different from IHI! CA as any other media has a right to investigate any sort of 'corruption' without "fear-or-favor. " It's 'obvious' that some of the bloggers know who this politician is (from a mile away) but others are still looking for a 'smoke-screen." As the Mighty Boldface would say Quote:

"When you don't know, you just don't know, and when know they say you don't know."

BEEF, Caribarena does not have the IHI report done by Bob Linguist. Like you I too would love to read the said report. The only information they have is what I suspect persons have selectively chosen to leak to them. Its pretty obvious that the IHI Bob Linguist report either is a dud or contains information that can damage both sides

Have the report on the investigation been released by Caribarena? If not, they should shut up (in my opinion). I don't need for Caribarena go share their analysis with me when they have the report and have not released it. I am not in agreement with Caribarena with this one. MAKE THE REPORT AVAILABLE. LET THE PUBLIC READ IT FOR THEMSELVES THEN WE CAN HAVE A DISCUSSION. WHY DID CARIBARENA CHOOSE TO GO THE ROUTE OF READING FOR US? WHY?

Tell me Caribarena. Do you guys believe every rumor that you hear. Or are you just making a pre-emptive strike. Cause I didn't read anything to suggest that the story is credible. if you have received the treats yourself then go straight to the police and make a report against the person. Take them to court and bring them here on Caribarena let we deal with him/her.

C'mon folks - if you're a politician making threats to the media, you're unlikely to be so stupid as to make them openly on paper with your mark at the bottom of the the sheet. You put the word out verbally 2nd hand instead, maybe through some mutual acquaintances, so they let you know, but there is no proof - just like a school bully letting you know your card is marked. This is a prime 'good old boy' bullying tactic, and it's unworthy of any decent politician. Man, these guys must have something serious to hide to risk this - and the threats made must be serious for any journalist to pay them attention. But like any bully, the only way to deal with this is face up to them, then hit them harder than they expect when they're not looking out for it. Good luck to you, Caribarena - I've found you will publish facts about individuals who habitually bully and bluster the media, without fear or favor. It's obvious that many posters here know who the would-be bully is, so let him take your article as a shot across the bows before he makes the situation worse for himself.

Based on the illustration, it looks like the ****** is threatening Caribarena. Who's next, The Joker?

I wonder if the ****** reads the blogs on this site. That should give him an idea of how people think of him. But then again, thoughts vanish at the sign of the ching ching. Remember the soirees at the Fort and the street that is High? The people an dem have Antigua nearga number. Just flash some food or some cash and all the memories get erased.

This is a bit vague,what is the threat ,and who is the politician who made the threat. Everyone can assume it is a pxxxxx,but the article never said so.As my Grandmother use to say, when dog thief every bone that is missing is that dog.Why not tell us who it is,and what was said,then everything will appear more real. I am still at a loss though as to why no charges can be laid after 9yrs, no court in this world would grant injunctions to anyone who they see appears to have a trail of wrong doing leading to them,it must be something that dont satisfy them,or maybe some people will say they have friends in the court to. It is time for this to come to a close or else we dont want to hear anymore.

doesnt the bird regime have something to do with caribarena????? ?????? also its since lester bird lost carib arena turning heat on ABLP let go man lester was a great leader he did his time gaston is the man now move on and lets move upp

if treats were made why didnt CA contact the police or u going by hearsay and if it true publish the name of the politician is it upp or labor politicians???? ??????????????? ?????????? please tell

Those blogger/s who are goading for CA to print the name…I have to wonder if “blogger/s” are really under the illusion that medias such as CA are so lacking legal savvy that they will fall for that, comply, and then get sued for liable; thereby putting an end to publicizing/rev ealing a story that appears to be causing some concerns to “whoever”! Caribarena’s credibility and fearlessness are still intact with this blogger.

Is it a fact, that, the hand of this individual, is the UNSEEN HAND which controls both sides of the isle of Parliament?

The ****** has got to go.

CA don't be worried, ALL WHO TIEF MUST GET JAILED....UPP and LABOUR!!!

I don't know why them people from the MIDDLE and the EAST behave like Antiguans and Barbudans owe them something, when under Labour they have gained much more than they have given.

Cde. Leader Gaston Browne better be aware and beware of the close political friends he keeps in Labour, for they will drag him down the dark path as was the Emeritus one.

CA who is the Politician? Are you serious with this article? Loosing credibility here

Ofer to maintain your credibility as a fearless and fair media personality, I recommend that you post the Name of the ALP politician who is threatening CA. Also give the nature of the threat. Please dispatch an investigative journalist to establish whether this is mere HEARSAY or there is evidence based in facts. Put all that out there for the world to see and continue revealing the full details of the IHI case to the same length that you revealed the full story of the Chinese Plant. This is what public service and good reporting is all about...

Politicians (and publice sector employees) are servants of the people since we pay them and they have to always act with honesty and integrity in the best interest of the people of Antigua. Our choice now seem to be between the corrupt or the incompetent.

We the people have to DEMAND that the perons who WE give the opportunity to represent us are accountable to us whether red, blue or green!

CA what you expect? You have been lambasting the UPP and no threats, but when you turn on the ALP, and you are seen as an ALP mouthpiece, of course the threats will ensue. Reminds me of the 90s

It seems that it's all about individuals and not the issues. There is the "new" and "old" groupings bad mouthing each other. When members of the same household are telling me not to support their own, I don't have much of a choice, as I will not vote for what is there now!

Keep up the good work caribarena! Do not be intimidated by the passive threats. As long as you are printing the truth and you obtained the truth legally, you have nothing to fear from lawsuit. It i**y minded who should fear the truth, not carinarena. I see that the other newspaper is not reporting anything...sham e on them! One has to wonder why they are not reporting this serious matter!! If the police would only complete their investigation and get on with what they must do, we all would be better off! Come on mr police chief....do your job!

This politician continues to demonstrate that he is unfit for office. Corruption in office, regardless of red or blue, is in part the reason why Antigua is the way it is today. When will we stand up and say enough is enough without fear or favor?

There should be no room in Antiguan politics must less in a ALP under new leadership, for individuals like this. The ALP and its new leader will continue to be under a cloud of suspicion as long as this individual remains within its ranks. Get rid of him and let him answer to God and the courts for his past actions while in office.

We have a country to rescue and a people to save. Cast out the unclean and let us move on with the job on hand.

The man has done this type of thing many times and it is astonishing that the ALP has been so stupid to keep him on for all these years. He's the reason they lost the last election and will be the main reason the UPP wins the next election despite their utter mismanagement of the entire country. The ALP puppets have been played by him and will continue to be made to jump around on his strings. Publish all and more!! Never stop. He must be put away where other criminals of various descriptions will embrace him. xe xxxa good xxxx from what i hear.

Caribarena as long as what you are printing is factual.That politician cannot do a darn thing.He should go and bury his head in the sand.

This is hilarious. If it wasn't the patrimony of a hapless group of people called Antiguans, it would be so funny. One bunch of **s and scoundrels get booted out of office. The incoming bunch finds evidence of gross malfeasance by the booted out bunch. The booted out bunch use every legal avenue to stall the wheels of justice. The incoming bunch are in a quandry. The supporters of the booted bunch are silent. Meanwhile, the booted out bunch make allegations about the "in" bunch of malfeasance regarding the WPP and fencing. The supporters of the booted bunch began a chorus and chant for the booting of the "in" bunch. Caribarena joins in the chorus but refuse to ignore the stymied case of malfeasance against the booted bunch and so they keep the case on the front burner. The booted bunch and their supporters are mad as hell. They don't want the public to reminded that they are still a bunch of **s and scoundrels masquerading as the new Messiahs of Antigua. They want to become the new "in" bunch and Caribarena is not going to stop them. What a thing!!!

what alp infighting, don't be fooled or don't look for an easy excuse not to vote.

While reading the comments on this story...Caribar ena lost some credibility with me. I don't believe non of this....Preside nt Obama threaten a man I was told..... what turns on that? "hear say"

I thought the Red headed lawyer won the case with the 14 million dollar settlement? So why is this being rehashed? Or is this just a story like the history channel?

Im going to have clean house.

Is this all a part of the party's (ALP) in-fighting? I think I'll stay at home on election day!

CA keep turning up the heat on these **s. Antiguans deserve to know the truth. Who get vex, get vex.

Caribarena is obviously afraid of a suit why they are not publishing the persons name. " received words" ? You either have evidence or you don't. Chupz.

So you can write/publish allegations about anyone and anything except politicians? This is too funny. LOL

This sounds like hearsay to me. You received word that a threat was made.... that reads like if someone came and send something instead of this individual making a direct threat. Antiguans are known for making up and spreading propaganda.... look at the story yesterday claiming something criminal occurred at Mill Reef, oh and the stories about the lady who lost her life and the shooter who some claimed had turned himself in. Caribarena if no direct threat was made, then there was no treat.

If you can't say who threatened you because you can't prove it is a fact, why publish this. I wanted to know who made threats, it is just a blank message with no specifics.

A ** is a **. Richard Nixon once said "I am not a **" but in the end he saw the light shinning brightly in his eyes and resigned. If that politician is a ** then he/she either need to stay out of politics or resign. Voters will not tolerate or elect any ALP or UPP **s this time.

How come it is Carib Arena News writing this and not the editor in charge?
You ARE TAKING STEPS to contact the leadership of the party and media and the police, I tought that you would have already done this before you came out with this.

This is the way how thugs behave. No surprise here, this is Antigua. You have to name the politician. I am going to guess that it is either xxxx xxxx or xxxx xxxxx. They are both deeply involved in the IHI scandal.

xxxx grow up!!

Please do not ease up. This individual is like a spoilt child. He must get his way at all times but please be careful because he is know to follow through with his threats. He even destroyed one of his senior colleagues pathfinder because of a disagreement in executive. I wonder how the IHI scandal fits into the NEW ABLP no nonsense image.
