Honestly Speaking: The Mischief of Truth & Value of Lies!

Raymond S. Edwards

From my lips will come what is right; for my mouth will utter truth.

Backdrop

Imagine politicians reciting above preamble (Proverbs 6:7) with passionate sincerity! Still, my politician’s Oscar goes to disgraced former Chicago governor Rod Blagojevich for looking into the cameras and quoting Kipling “…….don’t deal in lies” before straight facedly declaring “I am confident I have the greatest ally on my side; the truth”!

Hon. Lester B. Bird, To The Nation

In response to Sunday’s address by Baldwin Spencer

Monday, April 12, 2010

My fellow Antiguans and Barbudans, Residents and Friends: Last Wednesday evening, following the decision by Judge Blenman in the election petition cases, I was unable to address you on the state-owned and taxpayer-funded ABS-TV and Radio. There is a standing and illegal order by the minority UPP regime to keep the Leader of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition off ABS-TV. The minority UPP regime has unfettered access to ABS-TV and has exercised its monopoly without shame.

Today my right honourable friend the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (David Miliband) and I are announcing the final stage of the UK’s first global review of visa regimes in relation to the seven countries of the Eastern Caribbean – Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia and St Vincent and the Grenadines.

“UPP Government – Six Wasted Years”

Fellow Citizens and Residents of Antigua and Barbuda

This past week marked six years since our nation has suffered under the mismanagement of the UPP regime.

By Gabriel Christian Esq.

Christians revere the cross as an instrument of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The cross is also a symbol of sacred fire and of the sun, a representation of lightening and a symbol of the Aryan civilization. The Cross had tremendous significance to ancient Egyptians and to members of the early Christian church. According to the Jewish encyclopaedia, the marking of a cross upon the forehead and the chest was regarded as a talisman against the powers of demons.
