“Foreign Minister of Antigua and Barbuda Condemns Unfounded Allegations by José Aponte Hernández”
Statement by the Honourable E. P. “Chet” Greene, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Antigua and Barbuda concerning remarks by Puerto Rican politician
St John’s, April 30….
“Stop maligning Antigua and Barbuda to promote your selfish political interests.” That is the message from E. P. “Chet” Greene, the Foreign Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, to former Puerto Rican legislator, José Aponte Hernández.
The Minister stated, “In a recent outburst, José Aponte Hernández launched unfounded and false allegations against the sovereign nation of Antigua and Barbuda, claiming that our infrastructure developments are part of a military strategy by China, particularly alleging that our airport is used for the landing and take-off of Communist Chinese bombers.”
“His statement is not only baseless, but it also appears crafted to promote his long-held and unsuccessful desire to annex Puerto Rico to the United States as a state.”
“Antigua and Barbuda is a world-renowned tourism destination. Our airport and seaport welcome many of the world’s leading airlines and cruise ships, bearing hundreds of thousands of US citizens annually, including officers of the US Embassy. Not one of these entities or individuals has ever corroborated Mr. Aponte’s outrageous and highly malicious claims.”
“These assertions by Mr. Aponte are grounded in a sensationalist article written by a known ardent anti-China advocate in the publication Newsweek. Aponte demonstrated a profound disregard for the truth by not seeking to ascertain the facts before uttering his falsehoods against a neighbouring country, thereby calling into question his credibility as a responsible leader in Puerto Rico.”
” I doubt that Mr. Aponte will be decent enough to apologize but, as the Foreign Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, I am compelled to demand that he cease using unfounded and libelous statements against our sovereign nation. We urge him to focus on constructive and truthful discourse, rather than propagating falsehoods that serve no purpose other than to promote his political ambitions at the expense of the people of Antigua and Barbuda.”
“Our country remains committed to stability and prosperity in the region, fostering relationships based on respect and mutual benefit. We stand strong against any efforts to undermine our nation through deceit and manipulation and will continue to uphold our values of democracy and freedom.”

Chet, Puerto Rican legislator, José Aponte Hernández isn’t completely lying. Stop lying to yourself man. Bombers isn’t accurate, but far worse has come through that airport.
Those who know, know.
Following up to say I’ve never seen Bombers, so really cannot confirm or deny.
Chinese economic free zone?
Questions, that can help Bridge_da_Gap…
1…are the “Chinese Communist bombers” disguised, as #ANTIGUA_AIRWAYS?
2…are the “Chinese Communist Bombers camouflaged, as LIAT 2020 Ltd?
3…are these “Chinese Communist Bombers” disguised, as the ABDF – Spruce_Goose Fighter Squadrons?
Chet should try and get some of Donald ‘teflon_don’ Trump [alleged] hush money which he has fixers, allegedly paying his side chicks, call girls and high end prostitutes, to take this Puerto Rican politician to the cleaners!

This man actually does work? What exactly has Tek Chet done since he’s been in office?
Anyway, we shall see how Mr. Hernandez responds. Perhaps the man has something to validate his claims. The Chinese has a fortress at Marble Hill that noone knows what the hell is in there. In our own country. They built a high wall up at the stadium while building whatever is there. We will not be hasty Tek Chet. The Chinese has a presence here that is getting attention from the world.

CHET GREENE WANTS US TO BELIEVE HIS POINT OF VIEW,
THIS IS A GOVERNMENT WHO TOLD ITS PEOPLE THAT 250 WEALTHY NIGERIANS WERE COMING TO ANTIGUA TO INVEST,
IT TURNS OUT IT WAS A LIE BECAUSE THEY WERE REFUGEES.
ALL 4 FLIGHTS HAD REFUGEES, NOW THE PEOPLE OF ANTIGUA ASKED THE GOVERNMENT WHAT,S GOING ON THEY SAY THEY WERE DUPED.
BUT YET STILL, NO INVESTIGATION WAS DONE,
AND NOW CHET GREENE HAVE THE HEART TO THINK THE COUNTRY
IS GOING TO BELIEVE HIM.
IT WAS GASTON OWN WORDS THAT SAY
IF THE CHINESE WANT TO COLONISE ANTIGUA, TELL THEM TO BRING THE MONEY AND COME, AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW.
THE MORALE OF THIS STORY IS
I BELIEVE WHAT THE PUERTO RICAN POLITICIAN SAID.
I WOULD BELIVE A CRAB RATHER THAN THIS GOVERNMENT
I WOULD BELIEVE A HAM SANDWICH RATHER THAN THIS GOVERNMENT
IF THIS GOVERNMENT TELL YOU TO RUN , LADIES AND GENTLEMEN PLEASE WALK
YOU ARE SAFER WITHOUT LABOUR
AMEN
Demmm clown war, be careful every one from the flying cakes
Why is Antigua always in things? What about the other Caribbean countries, anybody calling up their names? You labour people are a bunch of crooks and will deal with any shady character to put money in your pocket. The labour government won’t rest until you destroy Antigua.
@Ras Smood, always get a smile out of your verse, man. Great stuff. Poetry is one of my interest.
@ Gaston Browne full.. I’m with you there. Anything these hoodlums tell you believe the opposite.
We have no clue what a mess Gaston Browne has dragged this country into. Crooks wanted by Interpol or some foreign country,fraudsters, none more adept at it than Nigerians, many passport holders in jail? If we the people don’t get up and rid the country of this scourge, there might not be much left of what we know as Antigua.
Same right, paid forward to Watching@, you too!
Actually, in todays War of The Worlds, the drone have replaced the foot soldier and #drones are the new Army, sent in by the Generals, similar to the Army of yesteryear!
Knowing this, coupled with these facts; what the Puerto Rican politician is ALLEGING, I’d write some of those thoughts, into a Fictional Script fully aware, that #da_truth is still stranger, than [fiction]. It’s often said, that if you wanna know, about what’s happening and what’s to come for us, in the #HUEman World, pay close attention to HOLLYWOOD MOVIES and other programming which comes from this order.
Now, since VC BIRD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, does not operate 24_SEVEN_365, it means, that there is no need, to monitor the air traffic which is passing through our airspace. Therefore, drones can be flown under the radar, of other jurisdictions in the Caribbean.
Drones not only can be made with shields which are undetectable, as they fly from destination to destination, they can do RECON MISSIONS, be equipped with missiles and other ammo and intelligence collection equipments too. Plus DRONES can be disguised, as birds too. Remember, the Brer Anansi #Tar_n_Feathers Con!
These are serious accusations. So much so, that the Chinese Emvassy already sent their Press Releases to the local and International media houses.
As Edgar Allan Poe stated, “life’s a dream; within A Dream!

Chet Greene how come you never responded to the African Saga. You have them living in your community center that was built by foreign money.
WHO THE CAP FITS, LET THEM WEAR IT!
I can tell y’all this much, China do not want this much attention with the latest furah that has been lambaste against this corrupt Government of Antigua, and it’s very close connection to China..nope they do not want this at all, I can tell y’all that much.
China is the most secret Country in this world, and they want no attention whatsoever..they want to just operate secretly in your backyard in peace…so this right here, they are definitely not happy about one bit.
And to Chet, if y’all were not so damn greedy, and love to dance abroad before these world leaders, showing y’all arses, no one would have a thing to say, no one, so watch your space first before you start talking about the word “integrity”, because you and Gatson have none whatsoever.
The USA trying to wip Antigua in line, it feels that we are becoming functionary of a multipolar world instead of a unipolar world driven by america hegemony or white for that matter, but why infantillised us like we are children of a lesser god? an supposedly independent country can’t decide for itself? I vehemently refuse your aide and hand outs, because he who pays the piper call the tune, so you create my circumstances so you can control the narrative by imasculation? Please allow us to think as though we have brain between our ears.
Puerto Rico is not even a country. Ricans are the laziest people in Latin America. Even before Covid they had a nearly a 100 billion dollar death. It is a territory of children and old people, as the lazy young adults just fly out and become part of the US welfare system.
Puerto Rico is the biggest waste of space in the Caribbean.
