I think the "Lone Wolves" should of written a letter to the Chinese Embassy first and given them time to respond or even be aware of the whole situation first. Maybe they don't know all the local uproar or concerns. I doubt it ... but we should never asume ... we should make sure.

Finally , it is time the leader of the opposition write a letter to the Chinese Embassy and copy one to some heads in China (maybe the local ambassador love life in Antigua too much right now). The letter should warn them about using projects like the proposed school in Greenbay as political election gimics and let the people of Antigua be assured these are gifts or loans for the people of Antigua & Barbuda and not for the UPP government and their friend Ambassador Shoul. They MUST INSIST that these and all of their other projects old and new go to parliament immediately. that is a must for transparancy and good lasting relations sake between the people of Antigua & China!!! Because unlike in China we do have elections here and governments can and do change!!! And it is not up to them to determine who stays or go!!!

why bother with cool ruler? because he or she is Antiguan and even if cool ruler is a bit of right now does not mean we should just give up on her ?him/
after all if PLM can have flashes of lumency and clarity we must believe there is hope for Cool ruler GOD does not make useless things , we simply need to find a use for cool ruler and her /his Gift of unwavering support of ignorance in the face of overwhelming facts to the opposite.

Thanks Skyewill, chef now knows we must be about the same age. you know your history. ;-)

the time has come to fight and take back our beloved Antigua , Morally , socially, economically and most of all to what we truly are hard working god-fearing people who love fun and joke but with very low tolerance for injustice and dishonesty, we will take a stand and fight back if pushed to far. This needs leaders (not politicians)who do not think about self but only the good of a nation, so far we see but a promise of a shadow of hope but I am hopeful. lone wolfs taking a stand picking a fight and not backing down.
Not RED not BLUE ... but every shade of black and then some.

KOOL RUNNER ER; RULER. THE UPP MONEY MACHINE IS STALLED SO YOU JUST MAY HAVE TO COOL IT.THEY MUST BE CAREFULL OF THE MONEY THEY CAN TOUCH RIGHT NOW. I DONT THINK U CAN GET ANOTHER 30 PIECES OF SILVER ANY TIME SOON. THERE'S HEAT IN THE KITCHEN AND ALL THE RATS WILL BE SCAMPERING OUT. U BETTER HOLD ON TO THAT LAST PIECE OF SILVER.

The Eagle is not a B class aircraft it's an F class aircraft. the air show is this weekend on Fort Lauderdale Beach you invited. We riding motorcycles, can you ride?

**Skyewill** » 2012-04-26 00:08

sam me nah talk yet. member me no say nothing about the power plant yet. I still waiting for the real evidence. As an expert in the field of International finance and commercial underwriting from what was published in the media I would say Antigua has no recourse. Ne personally would go with leters of credit in stages that would perfect on delivery and as a part of the underwriting I would insure the deal since it was so large as a condition for closing. The contract or contracts would also be a part of the loan package so that also would be underwritten. The product(WPP) would have to be appraised for future value and useful life would also be considered so funding the deal should have been through several layers of underwriting at the senior level. The signers at the closing table must have had to read it first right? Busy right now, no time to get down!

**Skyewill** » 2012-04-25 23:52

Why would Bird3 have to pick something out of anybodies eyes? Is he not aqn individual? does he not have to speak for himself? by the way I don't know the brother, I do think he have valid points, debatable issues, note worthly commentary.

**ANTIGUAN WOMAN** » 2012-04-25 21:44

Cool Ruler is losing his sanity,its actually laughable now. The UPP will suffer pretty much the same fate as the Plm did in 76,The writng is on the wall,it is as clear as the sky on a star filled moon lit night and the thought is killing people like cool ruler.TIme is up,the Upp are goners.Thank God,they did it themselves,its called "self destruct."

**Microwave chef** » 2012-04-25 19:01

And again due to the great performance of this UPP we are now likely stuck with an other 28 years of ALP come next election. So cool ruler or should I say Rip van Winkel wake up come out of the past see what has happened. maybe you did? that's why you are so upset ?, you know chef is right ?.UPP made sure that there will be no UPP in government for the next 28 years or so and considering how young VCB III is you think it might be more than 28 years ? hmmm I feel your pain, ...may you suffer less than Antigua has under 8 years of UPP. in history the poor mans freedom-fighter has been the rich mans terrorist and criminal or patriots if they prevail ask nelson Mandela or Steve Biko( R.I.P) and Pick Bota how that works . keep going lone wolfs.

**Microwave chef** » 2012-04-25 18:59

cool ruler , it is clear from your post that you live in the past or are suffering some serious case of post traumatic stress disorder UPP style.
PLM ????..1971.???. let Chef inform you it is 2012
this might come as a shock to you but VC Bird the father of the nation as he is called by friend and foe alike, died some years ago in-case you missed that one, he is dead and as such does not give one rats rectum about your feelings for him or your personal opinion. Trust me on that one it is a condition common to death people just ask the grey ghost.
The present government in Charge is UPP it crawled out of the mess that was Plm Aclm ALP rejects and then some. They have ruined Antigua and as such ensured that the future of Antigua come next election will be without UPP, PLM or any of that.

**Cool Ruler** » 2012-04-25 16:25

Tenman just give me a break with your sanctimonious crap. You and who ever else can put VC on a pedestal and revere him like a deity but I repeat VC Bird is no father of no nation for me. In 1971 when the PLM was in office he Lester and the rest vehemently opposed independence only to seek it right after they were returned in 76 so that he can be called first Priminister. Did they love Antigua then? I have a right to my opinion so if you don’t like it; well that’s your business. Strange your mentioning obea I wonder why? Don’t be obsessed where I live just be happy that you can live in Hodges bay where the average Antiguan cannot afford lands, you’re in good company because Lester lives in Blue waters, maybe you can go visit him.

**tenman** » 2012-04-25 15:15

Cool Ruler its sad that you persist in your ignorance. The other day, persons were upset over about the use of the national anthem. Some years ago there was a discussion in Canada about changing the lyrics for their national anthem. Its strange to me how persons don't see how more dangerous it is when persons unfairly attack the father of the nation. You live in the USA where some of its founders (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson etc.) were slave owners, what has VC Bird done which is worse than that? Even Tim Hector who was very critical of VC, had no problem agreeing that he deserved the accolade as father of the nation. I just find it insulting that you have no problem sitting outside of Antigua and throwing rocks at a man who this nation has made its national hero and father. Missing in your attack is when you stone him, you also stone the rest of us. Have you ever wondered why our youths find it hard to find role models? Its because people like you, out of bitterness/ bad mindedness/ obeah, go out of your way to destroy them all.

I will be on Expressions with Nat Moses on ZDK at 10:40am on Tuesday 1st May, 2012 to discuss The Lone Wolf Protesters picketing the Chinese Embassy, APUA and Ambassador Shouls on Newgate Street. I will also be reading our letter sent to Ambassador Liu Hangming stating our concerns and recommendations for resolving the matter. Please tune in and contact me at vcb321

gmail.com, or on my blog site ipponupp.blogsp ot.com. Shame, Shame, Shame on Baldwin Spencer, David Shoul and the People's Republic of China. Down with China up with Taiwan!!

**Microwave chef** » 2012-04-25 13:36

"way to a means" or you don't catch a shark with a piece of bread, you will need meat.When we asked chine politely to give full disclosure they treated us like stupid black fools, that is after we asked our government the same and they refused rudely and treated us like stupid black fools.
China does not care about antigua ,they care deeply about their world image when it comes to Tibet and Taiwan that what gets there attention and that is what will and can be used to get the answers we want to hear , we asked for truth and got lies now china will get some truth they rather hide. and the truth hurts as it should.

**Johnny** » 2012-04-25 13:25

Ghetto behavior! Lester Bird himself said that intelligent/edu cated people tend not to want to be associated with the ALP.

**Johnny** » 2012-04-25 13:21

Vere Bird III is supposed to be an intelligent guy. If he has anything to do with the organization of the protest, he should tell his people to leave Tibet and Taiwan out of this. it is distracting from the real issue.

Whether or not China gave us a crappy power plant, has NOTHING to do with Tibet or Taiwan!

**Vere C. Bird III** » 2012-04-25 13:20

Thanks for enquiring about signing the letter unfortunately we already sent the letter today by registered mail to the parties concerned, but we will have more letters going up the chain of command in China in the coming weeks if we don't get some answers at this level. We will be sending letters to the UN and body or organization that has an interest in money laundering because we feel there is a lot more than meets the eye with this loan agreement and why it never reached parliament and the facts that the government can't disclose the documents up to now. I'll keep you in informed when the other letters are ready you can send me you email at vcb321

gmail.com. Thank you once again.

**Cool Ruler** » 2012-04-25 13:06

Tenman, you already know how I feel about that father of the nation crap as we have been down this road before. I guess like King Louie of France who once declared “I and the nation are one” any criticism against Bird is considered an attack on the nation. Have you ever stop to wonder where that was coined from or who first started it? I don’t consider VC as no Father of my nation. No wonder Lester could have barefacedly declare “take away the contributions of the Birds and what do you have left”

**jeb** » 2012-04-25 13:02

“We have written a letter,” the protester said. “We have gotten protesters to sign it, or anybody for that matter who is interested in what we are doing"

Dear Mr. Bird,
Did not know about your letters. I am happy to add my signature to any protest letter you are sending. Please advise if you are still looking for signatures and how to do that.

**tenman** » 2012-04-25 11:18

Cool Ruler you must truly hate your country if you cannot respect the father of the nation.

aj » 2012-04-25 11:01

Hey Mr. Kool ruler is people like you that have our country in this quandry with such a sick mental attitude that makes me sick to the stomach(bwwwrrk )... If we see something wrong and we decide to talk out against it we have a right..... Bringing up dirty things from the Birds past, how is that helping our present situation? Answer that. Tell me if it was someone with a different surname would you say something different or would you make up some dirt just to tarnish the person's name? Lest we forget UPP had their demonstrations during the Labour Government era and they were free to protest as they felet to do.... REMEMBER WE ALL BLEED THE SAME COLOR...

**Dig It** » 2012-04-25 10:43

It is funny that prior to 2004, the then Loyal Opposition and many people were crying "victimization, " corruption," among other things in the country! The anti-ALP sentiments were up in the air, especially, when it got close to the general elections! Back then PM Spencer would "protest" anything that walk, crawl or even even run! And, they were people willing to "suffer-the-con sequences" of joining Spencer's fight to get rid of ALP. Spencer and the UPP did what they setted out to do, as they were "overwhelmingly " elected to office in 2004 after 28 years of the ALP! Eight years later, and, the sounds of "victimization" suddenly went quite, in spite, of all the lack of of "accountability " and "transperancy" plauging the PM and his cronies! Where are the concern people of this country that the GOAB is taken totally advantage of in not living up to the Finance and Administration Act 2006? For those who "injudiciously" criticize the Lone Wolf, remember Quote:

we have had "lone wolves" prior to 2004

!

**Antigua Bill** » 2012-04-25 09:34

The lone wolf need to find hard work to do. Lone wolf needs a pack of wolves to get the job done. Does Antiguans know anything about civil disobedience? Skyewill unless you be the one man you’ll have to wait until thy kingdom come to see that leader emerge to take our people to the promise land. Fly boy change will come anytime a B 52 start flying like B 15 striker eagle.

**SAM** » 2012-04-25 09:08

SKYWELL, SAY NO MORE WELL DONE!!!!!!!

**Walter** » 2012-04-25 08:40

Ambassador Wang should ask PM BS to come clean with the Power plant deal - especially since it is now revealed that PM BS has breached the laws of Antigua and Barbuda in sourcing the loan from her Government!

Anything short of that would be tantamount to upholding an illegal act!

**Cool Ruler** » 2012-04-25 07:42

You have some nerve accusing people of anything in Antigua. You should pick the beam out of your family’s eye first. Vere Bird Jr was accused of being a very unprincipled man by Bloom Cooper, in the Airport 12.5 million rip-off he was accused of allegedly running with the hares, don’t even mention your papa and the Carla Samuel xxx-oxx or the xxxxx of moving a xxxxx xxxx into the state xxxx while your grandma was left on tanner street. Lester’s xrixes against the nation is legendary, the laundry list of his xxixes against the nation is so long that I will not have space to list them, but hey you can read Caribbean time bomb for more insight. Antiguans do not want your family government to be in any position of power again to continue where they left off ripping off the country.

**Skyewill** » 2012-04-25 07:12

One man Dr. Martin Luther king did it. One man Ghandi, one man Jesus Christ. just one man can make a difference. One man started World War 1. One Man.
