By\u00a0Makeda Mikael<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Our hardworking Nigerian friend in Agriculture needs a native Antiguan understudy who will keep him out of trouble in these pre-election times. And as we say native Antiguan, we are simultaneously recognizing that with the introduction of our Criminal Investment Program, we now have several levels of citizens with native Antiguans coming last.<\/p>\n

This most recent fiasco in Old Road has forced our good Land-warrior\u00a0Kublai<\/strong>\u00a0to move in with his people to defend the lands for the native people of Old Road.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The rebuilding of community is a pleasing sight as the breadbasket of Antigua is protected by the people for the people.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Our Ministry of Lands allowed the native fisherfolk to be sold out to a Chinese Principality which has the power to shutdown their fisheries in the entire Northsound region, and in spite of the environmental disaster looming nothing is being done to safeguard rights for the native Antiguan livelihood. The people must hold on to their lands.<\/p>\n

Kublai<\/strong>\u00a0has to remind people that it was Old Road that fed the native Antiguans when for one whole year Bird and the people demanded that all, \u201cHold the Line\u201d in a strike against the colonial Moody Stuart, (and his heirs and successors!).<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Clearly our modern administrations having sipped from the cup of globalism in the days of giving are learning the hard way now in the time of taking, when all who gave are now coming in for the take. Native Antiguans must continue to \u2018Hold the Line\u2019 when it comes to land which native Antiguans bought and paid for with their own sweat, not just the sweat of their ancestors.<\/p>\n

Antigua and Barbuda are islands which really are their lands, and without which as a people they do not exist, especially in these times when citizens are a dime a dozen, and natives are placed at the end of the line, constantly robbed of their land and possessions to satisfy the needs of the new citizens, their heirs and successors.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The hills are constantly denuded of trees in this drought stricken land to make room for ocean view mansions, without thought of tree replacement as a boon to nature. And as the supermarkets increase in size so do their permits for vegetable and fruit imports stymieing any farmer\u2019s dream.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Education, our culture, and our religion will no longer be part of native Antiguans if the lands are owned and controlled by the other newly found and gratuitously citizenized peoples of other worlds and cultures.<\/p>\n

Native Antiguans are being pushed into the background of all their affairs as other citizens take over their roles in all areas of government and the private sector. Time for action, NATIVE ANTIGUANS \u201cHOLD THE LINE!\u201d<\/p>\n
