I fully understand the political strategy behind shutting J\u2019Truth up with a few crumbs. If we can shut him up, we have less to worry about with him being a voice for the opposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prime Minister, while you may have emerged from that interview looking good and extremely strong, don\u2019t get carried away, because the J\u2019Truth who has been the loudest critic of your government for the last four years has not changed one bit. On a daily basis, he continues to use vulgar language, assassinate the character of innocent citizens, defame individuals, and spread hate in this beautiful country.<\/p><div id=\"antig-626144673\" class=\"antig-content_3 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"IMG_1115\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:864\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_1115.jpeg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:864\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_1115.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:240\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_1115.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:819\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_1115.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:960\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_1115.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>While you may have left that interview thinking that J\u2019Truth is a changed man, nothing could be further from the truth.

The truth is, J\u2019Truth continues to break the law by spreading misinformation and hate via Facebook. This is the very reason your government considered laws to crack down on people like him in the first place. The law exists, and police officers must enforce the Electronic Crimes Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/CRnHw04ajdaBHAPFqHL4Jn\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATS APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wish to bring your attention to two sections of this law that the so-called influencer breaches daily:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Section 13 \u2013 Harassment Utilizing Means of Electronic System<\/strong><br><em>A person shall not intentionally, without lawful excuse or justification, intimidate, coerce, or harass another person using an electronic system.<\/em><br>There are numerous instances of him violating this Act, including his recent personal and sexist attack on songstress Asher Otto and his defamation of former national athlete Tevaughn Hariette.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Section 8 \u2013 Violation of Privacy<\/strong><br><em>A person who, intentionally or without lawful excuse or justification, captures, publishes, or transmits the image of a private area of a person, or the image, whether whole or partial, of a person in a vulnerable position without their consent under circumstances violating their privacy, commits an offence.<\/em><br>J\u2019Truth\u2019s series naming and shaming alleged rapists and sexual offenders\u2014many of whom have never been convicted before a court of law\u2014was a blatant violation of this section.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>He has also breached Section 6, which prohibits sending offensive and threatening messages through communication services. On an almost daily basis, J\u2019Truth uses his Facebook Lives to send offensive and threatening messages, including calling private citizens \u201cwhores,\u201d \u201cprostitutes,\u201d and \u201cbullers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prime Minister, not a single taxpayer dollar should be spent on J\u2019Truth unless he makes an immediate change and apologizes to all his victims. This is serious business. While we tuned in to your interview with J\u2019Truth, it was not to hear national issues\u2014viewers expected a showdown, which we did not get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t think for a moment that the national issues you want to promote will garner any real viewership on his platform. His audience tunes in to hear him curse and insult people, not to engage in serious discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ironically, he recently made a post that all people can do is criticize. I find this to be quite hilarious for a person who has used Facebook and infact has abused Facebook and built a platform on criticizing others while having nothing good to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, Prime Minister, one trend of your leadership concerns me: you seem to reward individuals for bad behavior by fast-tracking their access to the public purse. I urge you to reconsider whether you want to sanitize characters like J\u2019Truth by turning them into saints. Remember, people solely motivated by money will turn against you when the funds stop flowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Focus on rewarding those loyal to you with the same haste that you reward those behaving badly for attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sincerely,<br><strong>Margaret Meredith Perez Joseph-Flores<br><em>Citizen and Resident of Antigua and Barbuda<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/CRnHw04ajdaBHAPFqHL4Jn\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATS APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/CRnHw04ajdaBHAPFqHL4Jn\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATS APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/CRnHw04ajdaBHAPFqHL4Jn\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATS APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/CRnHw04ajdaBHAPFqHL4Jn\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATS APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/CRnHw04ajdaBHAPFqHL4Jn\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATS APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/CRnHw04ajdaBHAPFqHL4Jn\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATS APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/CRnHw04ajdaBHAPFqHL4Jn\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATS APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/CRnHw04ajdaBHAPFqHL4Jn\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATS APP GROUP<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-1404063505\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LETTER: No Taxpayer Money for J\u2019Truth Until He Cleans Up His Act.
