Apparently I work in the Ministry of Education….how so? Because I have a pdf copy of the SEA results in my possession. Results that are only supposed to be released tomorrow, July 6th. The Ministry, in a clumsy attempt to cover up the fact that there had been a security breach claimed there was no leak and the only people who knew in advanced that they had passed, were the 20% of students covered in the Concordat Agreement between the government and denominational schools. SPLAAAAT!!! Yep, that’s the sound of shit hitting fan!
Grim Tim is currently bellowing like a wounded ox calling it an act of sabotage. And instead of calling in the police to do its job….because there is a section that deals with cyber crime, he is instead calling on Action Jack….I guess Jack going to issue orders to the police service again. More constitutional breaches in the making? But who cares, right? We supporting the government hardcore regardless of the shit they do, and anybody who criticise them hadda be PNM!!!!
A Hindu teacher spat in a student’s face earlier this week. And according to news paper reports this isn’t the first time she has misbehaved. I can assure you that had it been a Hindu child that this had happened to the uproar and public outcry over it would have been great….because Sat Maharaj knows how to make an issue into an ISSUE. We’d have known who the teacher was, he’d have called for the teacher’s immediate resignation and firing, and all manner of dire warnings would have been issued. I have to wonder though, what causes a teacher, any for that matter, to spit in a child’s face and if this unnamed woman’s action was an act of frustration or prejudice?
The Minister of Health has recently gotten Cabinet approval to do away with Nursing Council Exams. Minister Khan has cited a high failure rate, among other reasons for removing the exam. But I don’t know if he has indicated to anyone that removing the exam means that pretty much anyone can now enter the nursing profession, or huge numbers of nurses can be imported from a foreign country without having to meet any local standards, requirements or face any board. When you hear about the mass importation of foreign nurses remember I said it was going to happen. The Nursing Council is currently taking him to task. But I am wondering if it will go anywhere. One of the worst things to happen to this country is the large Parliamentary majority Kamla’s All Fours’ team got. They now run roughshod over the Parliament making and breaking laws as they damn well please!
Apparently nobody clear on who bring Shaq to Trinidad, first Jack and Kamla implied that two Ministries, Sport and National Security, brought him down for a joint crime initiative. Now Moonilal the Court Jester is saying a private businessman paid for Shaq’s trip….who is the businessman? Does he pay taxes? Private Citizens supporting Crime Initiatives now? And Action Jack is now supporting Moonilal saying Shaq’s visit didn’t cost us a cent! This government turn mouth too bad. Is always multiple stories with them that they can never quite get straight.
Doh worry, by Saturday we will hear that nobody paid for Shaq’s trip, he paid for it himself…and by Sunday it’ll be that Shaq got off his plane by accident and decided to mop a drop from the PM to Beetham Gardens. What we are sure of though, is that somehow we being lied to and DE Vice Cyah Done!
Young lady well written as usual, it seems as though they Treasury is now a “private matter” and all on sundry of their cronies have access to it well if they said that it was empty when they came into power and the PNM wasted the money wait until they leave office or the people wake up and vote them out Heaven help Trinidad & Tobago they will all have their houses in Florida or Toronto Canada and who will be the ones catching and be the laughing stock of the Caribbean oh wait we already are. OMG!
The philosophical underpinning for all of this, the fertile soil in which it is rooted, is our shared meritocratic commitment. Fundamentally we still think that a select few should rule, we’ve just changed our criteria for what makes someone qualified to be a member in good standing of that select few. (Someone under investigation of wrongdoing and who resigned because they started an investigation on him is now at the helm of our ministry of nation security) Heaven help us! It is precisely elite acquaintance with, and acceptance, of this that has produced a cohort of socially distant, blinkered, and self-dealing elites. It is those same elites who helm the pillar institutions and who have been responsible for the cascade of institutional failure that has come to characterize the failed decade and produce the crisis of authority through which we are now living.” The consistent theme throughout this all is elite malfeasance and elite corruption. DE Vice Cyah Done!
The problem with the leak is that people may see a difference between the results and the placements.Obviously now Warner will have to import some big name to deal with this situation,of course some well known company will have to arrange the trip and accommodation and ground transfer etc…..oh sorry and security, as we have all these security companies belonging to quess who, that we have to feed.
There always seems to have some controversy after the government makes a big dynamic blunder. The SEA, common entrance results have been leaked to the public from time in memorial. My brother and I knew our placements the day before being released, big deal. The move by the Sinister of Health (oops) seems to be a nice way for him and his boys to open up private nursing schools that are funded by Gate. Qualify to be a nurse in two months, a la Dr. Duane Gibbs, no standards no problem. No mystery there. Shaq coming for $10M to launch a program that is directly in conflict with one being launched by the Monster of Sport (oops again) for prizes worth $1M……usual story of can’t get the story straight before opening their collective traps. All of these pale in comparison to the open hijacking of MONS machinery. This is so serious and we roll over it as if it is another Sunday drive. This is the crown jewel and the massive tremor that has brought down the eroded mountain of democracy. Has anyone heard about Syria lately? The illusion has been cast to draw our eyes away. Houdini himself would be in aww.
