CARICOM WAS WARNED ABOUT THE THREAT OF MUSLIM EXTREMISM FROM GUYANESE MUSLIMS. In the presence of representatives from more than 25 countries, the international and regional community had been warned, that should there be any Caribbean involvement in terrorist activities. That the likelihood that there would be black Guyanese involved was almost 100% certain. The warning was made in 2005 by a Guyanese delegate who had made a study on the structure of Islam in Guyana, at an international Caricom seminar for a Small Business training program.  The majority of black Guyanese men he noted were converted to Islam while in prison. The disaffected poorly educated men in prison are fertile soil for radicalization. Above left Abdul Kadir is the exact opposite of the profile given for radicalization by the delegate. Kadir is a former Guyanese parliamentarian, who was arrested along with his cohorts in the middle and right, in the plot to blow up the Kennedy International Airport in New ...

After obtaining a license from the Italian gambling authority in 2004, the group quickly acqu...

Today Tuesday, November 15 2016 an article was printed in the Daily Herald under the heading Immigration Officer arrested for human trafficking, bribery.   The salient, potent, reality on Sint Maarten is the inability of the (state), to properly police itself hence the many opportunities for criminal activity to manifest throughout all levels of Government. The woman J.M. was arrested by the Human Trafficking and Human Smuggling Unit of the St Maarten police Force. Her partner D.F. was also arrested at 7:00 today. Gino Bernadina the spokesman for the Prosecutor’s Office said: “ The arrests are the results of a lengthy investigation that has been ongoing since April 2016, code-named ‘Ostrich’. It concerns an investigation carried out by police into the illegal admittance of Jamaican and Haitian nationals”.               SIMPSONBAY, Sint Maarten — Rogelio Gregory Koeiman (R.G.K.)

In an article titled “ No takers for $ 3.5m reward offered for Dana’s killer ” published in the Sunday Guardian of May 11, 2014 the Minister of National Security of T&T is reported as stating that there is no evidence that the assassination of May 4, 2014 was the “ work of highly trained individuals”. The minister is reported as stating that the shooter used a small handgun at close range to effect the assassination and there was no Latin American gang killer, sniper or hired assassin. The minister is then insisting that the assassination was the product of home grown talent and that the modus operandi was in effect not a well-planned, precision attack. The minister is well advised to grasp the political reality and insist that the assassination was the action of transnational organised crime and rally the nation around the present government in light of this most potent threat.  Because after the dismantling of SAUTT and the covert civilian intelligence agencies t...

I indicated since 2003 that the Mara Salvatuchra or MS 13 , and the Trinitarios (the Dominicano gang active throughout the US , St Thomas, St Croix, Belize and peripherally through proxies in some Antillean islands), are the proxies of some powerful Mexican “ narco-cartels ” . Increasingly Caribbean gangs are as I have stated previously,   displaying certain characteristics most often associated with terrorist organizations i.e. kidnappings used as a political bargaining chip whilst simultaneously using kidnapping as a revenue stream, their use of highly sophisticated military grade weapons, tactics of dismemberment of rivals and even civilians as a means of sowing terror and fear in their opposition, local populations and the elite within the state apparatus.    Drug trafficking is viewed as a primary threat to citizen security and U.S. interests in Latin America and the Caribbean despite decades of anti-drug efforts by the United States and partner ...

To those at UWI who insist that my work is fabrication and myth necessitating my dismissal from UWI please note that Brownfield is also speaking myths. The question arises as to the nature of and the agenda of the string puller at UWI? A link with the Brownfield position is listed above ”. William Brownfield does not speak from the basis of crime scene data. Brownfield is the designated US Federal government spokesperson on this issue and he is s...

Ronald Van Raak. Today I will include an oped by Ronald Van Raak a member of the Dutch Parliament. In his piece, he openly concurs with the criminal  Anthony Bertinus aka “ Pencho” , that Gerrit Schotte is a criminal. He names Francisco Corallo a “gambling boss” and he even stated publicly that: “ At our request, the Netherlands now joins the United States in a large-scale investigation into the relationship between politics and the world of the gambling. The Netherlands also provides all the necessary assistance in the investigation into the murder of Helmin Wiels in 2013, after the politician had said to want to take action against the gambling industry on the island”.   The above statement is devastating for the political classes in the former Netherlands Antilles, as it promises that many of them will fall in the upcoming months. Here again is proof of what I post on this Blog, verified by a member of Parliament in the Dutch government. THE HAGUE - The fo...
