Repeatedly this forum , which is supportive of regional integration, has found it useful from time to time to highlight benefits of closer Caribbean integration and that all states should put their hands to the plough in re-invigorating the push for integration.
that is a wrong assumption or conclusion..better..whatever it is it is wrong. Caricom has wildy successful for the purpose for which it came into being
the Caricom treaty established a club for the west Indian rich, for the top dogs of the west indies along with their forrin supporters, for the corporations that do business in the west indies and other forrin inverstors.
by Caricom they have effectively locked out everybody else in the region from the higher levales of economics and the society in general. all the top dogs and the forriners with who they dela has access to the whole west indies and the money to travel the region at will..and to do business of their own whatever it is.
it is so expensive to travel the west indies that there is hardly movement of the ordinary west indian folks within the region. we are more isolated from each other that during the colonial/slave periods. hungry west indians, so desperate that they find ways to migrate the region to the spots where money may be bubbling, are the only ones who move within the region.
and when they get to those bubbles they are treated like animals by their very own west indian bretherin
the post in which Jamaican horses dominate the Titty Derby is a case in point.
far from animosity between the Yardys and Titty on the horses, the Yardys praise Trinidadians for being the main upkeep of the Yardy horse-breeding industry. how the hell can that be it struck.. given the usual hostility between the 2 west indian nations.
aaahhh! but the horse racing is the big money people, rich west indian people, the same top Caricom dog. they don't fight each other. they are part of the same club. they help each other. they make a lot of bobol with the forriners and a lot of wealth for themselves. they run the region under Caricom for the forriner and reap soup drinking rewards..except crumbs at their level are huge
What the Caricom treaty has achieved is the re-establishment the old colonial administration, which treats the west indies as colonial as it ever was. the west indian people are still locked out. west indian institutions do not work for the people but still for forrin exploitation of the region
what Caricom does all the time, its basic function is to prepare and effect the western corporate exploitation of the region. they look after the forriner period and not the west indian people.. who are still poor after all these decades of 'Independence'
[size=18pt]for the west indan black and brown elites, forrin corporations and investors, CARICOM has achieved all it was set to do very nicely indeed. and of course the Jackass west indian people do not have a clue and eagerly facilitate their own exploitation, by participating in equally jackass, fraudulent and hypocrite west indian electoral politics, populated by political parties all paid for and beholden to the forriner[/size]
the west indian people are so sweet. they spit on, denigrate and disparage a person like me, who tell them stuff like this. but they love and embrace the forriner, who has enslaved, colonized and degraded them/us, for going on to 600 years now..the same forriner who gave them AIDs and dengue fever, and an assortment of health maladies which suggests the the west indies was some kind of experimental laboratory for them.
right now growing infertility is the major health challenge in the west indies. that could not have happened by guess or happenstance. it must be the result of some stealth program of attack on the west indian people.
the west indian people do not have a clue about all this nor do they appear to care. lovely isnt it.
god bless Caricom then..old colonial administration that it is
