There is no doubt that global politics and its power bases are definitely in transition.

 What we are experiencing these days is indeed a dramatic change in world political and economic relations.

 For us here in the Caribbean and Antigua in particular, it is important that the government manage the ship of state with prudence, frugality, diligence and restraint because tough days are definitely on the horizon.

 Agriculture and food security is going to be paramount because foreign imports are going to be enormously high in costs in light of all these tariffs and ongoing  trade wars.

 As we have seen from Washington, there are no more handouts and we are now being dictated to daily. 

Our relationship with Cuba, China and other powers would be under severe scrutiny even as we can no longer expect assistance from the United States. Our destiny is being shaped and directed in Washington DC.

How we do things in St John’s Antigua is going to be significant to our survival.

  1. NEW WORLD ORDER: …CALL TO ACTION

    Well, my ‘…Good Friend,’ these are exactly that which are now taking place.

    WHETHER OR NOT THE APPARENT ‘…DOMINANT WORLD POWER-UNDER THE PRESIDENCY OF DONALD TRUMP,’ NATIONS WILL SEE MUCH ACHIEVEMENT,’ HE HAS DETERMINEDTHAT THE UNITED STATES,’ IS NOT GOING TO BE THE ‘…SANTA CLAUSE’ FOR:

    (a) ‘…PROVIDING NATIONAL SECURITY:

    (b) …ECONOMIC PROSPERITY’ FOR MANY IMPOVERISHED COUNTRIES.’

    ***

    LIKENED TO A MOTHER, AFTER ‘CHILD’S BIRTH’ that which shall be severed are:

    (i) ‘…THE UMBILICAL CORD: and

    (ii) …BREAST FEEDING: and

    (iii) …COMPLETE WEENING.’

    ***

    4-YEARS FROM NOW -BACK TO NORMAL

    ALL DEPENDENT NATIONS, SHALL BE ‘…WEENED’ UNTIL HIS PRESIDENTIAL TENURE ENDS.’

    ***
    HOPEM FOR THE FUTURE:

    THERE IS STILL ‘…HOPE FOR THE FUTURE.’

    ***

    NOW:

    (i) ‘…AS IT HAD BEEN LONG PRINTED ON ITS CURRENCY, AMERICANS WILL SING: ‘…IN GOD WE TRUST:’ and

    (ii) …OTHER NATIONS, ESPECIALLY THOSE ‘…IMPOVERISHED,’ MAY AGAIN SING: ‘…GOD BLESS AMERICA.’

    ***
    FOR NOW, ALL SHALL SING: ‘…GOD BLESS ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA.’

  2. Historically the world is in constant change. Economically the United States and Europe are grappling with the resurgence of a powerful African continent where most of our ancestors are from. The African leaders and our peoples are no longer prepared to allow the colonisers to take what they want. Niger is rich in Uranium. French companies extract the Uranium from Niger and use it to supply France, and Europe with electricity and power their submarines. Meanwhile over ninety percent of the Nigerian people do not have electricity. So their leaders have driven out the French. We are not living in the end times yet. We are witnessing a change in the world order. Pay attention my peoples.

  3. Until the mother ship is sinking: there is no need for the life raft. This is a prime example of our quasi state of independence from England after enslavement and colonization: where we were left adrift without a paddle to face survival, not of the fittest, but survival period. And thus, to sink or swim. Our current state of affairs, is a clash of want and need tugging us to the various changes of the prevailing global currents of, damn if we do, damn if we don’t: with no middle ground to escape from the constant effect of the global buffetting phenomenon of geopolitical upheavals of a none producing island–state, dependent on seasonal tourism. This place us in the acute peculiar state of the have nots: like barnacles on a rock waiting on the tide to be fed. Mindful that this is not of our own making or desire. But, rather that of hand that we were dealt. We can only hope to weather the storm that is imminently brewing in our path of relevance; as we relish the ignoble association of being a member of a Commonwealth–that is not common in its staid pursuit for passive contentment. As we watch the pendulum swing from European to Asian hegemony; with Africa being the axis of the pivoting, and existing for acceptance of one form of Neo Colonization or the other, without consent of implied impact. As our survival dictate our collective continuation of the have-nots, we are stuck between the rock and the hard place, of the none marketable consumer producer’s on planet earth. It is Tariff, eh! When retrenchment bid it’s due: its who looking out for who?

    Yours is the type and quality and rich relevance of the commentary we should all read and digest. What new world order??? The current world order is anything but new, having been in existence for centuries. The reason for its only now dawning to some of us is, I humbly suggest, that with active social media, news media, print media, people have NO CHOICE now but to confront realities tossed squarely in their faces. With respect to those of us living in this hemisphere, it’s time to grow up and wise up. Front the days of Columbus to present the rules by which the world lived was shaped and dictated to by those countries, either through outright theft and or genocide..Spain dominated the world during the 14th,15th & 16th centuries based solely on the treasures of the America’s and the genocide and subjugation of the indigenous inhabitants. Britain and France, too, rose to world prominence and dominance in pretty much the same pattern. Survival of the fittest became the mantra and has so to present. The johnny-come-lately USA, taking advantage of a tired, run-down, war-weary Europe, joined this privileged band of warmongering, thieving rogues who declared themselves world leaders. Dictators who would dictate the rules by which all human species, if they wished to continue to thrive on God’s green earth, are to live. Nothing has changed. Things have merely intensified, the stark realities staring us, or rather those of us with eyes wide open, directly in our face? Because of centuries of black on black hate , self loathing, total absence of belief in oneself we continue to look to these evil, murderous, thieving “world leaders”. We in the designated Third
    World countries continue to perform the roles expected of us – the Willy Lynch model – refusing to raise our own standards, adopting cultures that totally non-African, falling prey to the drug and gun culture, hating , abusing and cannibalizing one another.
    So you, Mr./Ms Fat chat, now that you know fot real that the sky is falling, what do YOU suggest?
