Local Intelligence?
that title is such an oxymoron…
there are so many things that bother me with the following story…
Muslim denied entry to T’dad from Tobago
Joel Julien jjulien@trinidadexpress.comSunday, November 29th 2009
A LOCAL Muslim was denied entry into Trinidad from Tobago on Friday allegedly because of his radical beliefs on Islam, the Sunday Express learned yesterday.
so essentially ‘A Trinidadian‘ who was staying in Tobago… ppl from Tobago are also called Trinidadian… decided to come back to Trinidad for whatever reason and was denied entry… even though we are the Twin Island Republic of Trinidad & Tobago… no international borders were being crossed… you doh need a Passport… even if you could get an appointment for a new one… so if i from Tunapuna and want to go San Fernando somebody could tell me ‘NAH’… ‘Hard Luck’… ‘You is a terrorist because You are Muslim‘…
it had to be because of ‘radical beliefs‘ that he was targeted right… but PM PM doesnt have ‘radical beliefs’… he eh drunk on the Bible… or is it just because the beliefs happened to be rooted in another religion…
Investigating officers found it ’strange’ that Abdullah decided to travel to Trinidad the same day that Sarkozy arrived here, the Sunday Express learned.
as i wrote on Thursday… Friday was Eid-ul-Adha… i tort we so culturally diverse and everybody know bout everybody else religion… dem fellas mus be skip school that day… or never went…
Abdullah, who had a ticket for the ferry’s sailing, was on his way to Port of Spain to celebrate Eid-ul-Adha, a time when the sacrificing of domestic animals such as goats, sheep or cows usually takes place as remembrance of the sacrifice made by Prophet Abraham.
yuh see this CHOGM ting get some ppl kinda chupid… or he didnt have a ticket fuh he sheep and goat…
Apart from Abdullah being questioned, his home and business place in Tobago were also searched.
i wonder what they were looking for… a copy of the Quran to prove he was a terrorist Muslim…
Abdullah, sources claimed, has been of interest to both United States and United Kingdom intelligence agencies previously while specific plans to attack those countries’ interests here were being investigated.
so the US nd UK managing Local Law Enforcement now… i should watch who name i call in meh bloggin and tweeting now… they might come break down meh glass door… and take meh computer and then leak all meh sex tape dem… truth be told we have no Local Law Enforcement…
i hope Mr. Abdullah sues the state… there must be some kinda breach of his rights here… because if he was such a threat he should have been arrested and charged long before he attempted to board a boat… or maybe that’s why he was arrested… he wasnt showing enough National Pride to be boarding the T&T Spirit…
i kinda peeved nah coz i got an email FWD this week and the sender admitted to FWDing said email not having verified the contents… contents that seek to spread untruths about ISLAM under the pretense of coming from an Islamic source… so this just set me off…
i still think that this was imporperly handled… i mean two ppl stormed a Presidential Dinner in the White House last week… and if they werent caucazoids they prob wouldnt have passed the front gate… yes that is US biz… but its plain old profiling…
i wonder how many other criminals were on that Ferry…
CHOGM Holiday
Government orders schools, public offices closed Friday…
tomorrow – Friday – is now an undeclared public holiday.
I shall be working.
Given the fact that most of the ministries are situated in the capital city – Finance, Planning, Housing, Works and Transport, Attorney General, Sports, Public Utilities, Energy, Trade, Public Administration – it is a holiday for the majority of public servants.
how long do we have to wait until Gov’t decentralizes its operations? OH wait that will never happen because they building all downtown Port-of-Spain for they own Ministries… fed up of paying RENT… yet still the lights are left on in the night while building is empty… doh even have furniture…
For many, particularly teachers, it is the third holiday for this week. Teachers took without approval, Monday and Tuesday as ’day of reflection’ in support of calls from the trade union movement to stay away from work. During the Fifth Summit of the Americas meeting in April, school was on Easter vacation.The Education Ministry’s decision to close all Government and Government-assisted schools, which has led to the decision of private schools to close as well, has left educators scrambling to reschedule end-of-term exams.
yes I… tuh ass with the chirren an dem… who already does be stress out with exams.. well i guess its on less day to worry if they go get stab… doh forget WE CARE…
The day-off is welcome news to Trinidadians who delight in holidays.
the effin truth… who say RIVER… BEACH… LONG WEEKEND… THANKSGIVING… for the holiday… nothing else…
tomorrow is also the celebration of Eid-ul-Adha…
NAPA… not just for Auto Parts
the National Academy for the Performing Arts… NAPA… was unveiled yesterday in a handing over Ceremony that was broadcast by GISL, Government Information Services Limited, on channel 4… the former AVM, then NCCtv now completely rid of anyone who stood in the way of Government’s version of events… it was simulcast on PNMG CNMG… i always make that mistake… up until news time… which coincidentally was right after PM PM finished his speech…
National Academy for the Performing Arts
i tuned in a little late and heard Calder Hart, Chairman of UDeCOTT and at least 3 other Govt Entities say he was proud to be handing over this Complex to the Govt… wait nuh is Taxpayers funds pay for it so wasnt it already ours… the place look nice… PM PM compared it to someplace he went in Hong Kong back in he first stint as PM… when yuh could get fired by fax… talk about pipe dreams… it come like holding a grudge… not that he holds any for anyone… it was also being touted as being as good as or even better than the Sydney Opera House… i dunno how he could make that statement… like he went and see a show there sometime… probably on one of his many Executive Jet trips… thats why he fixing up the Old Airport… sry the Southern Terminal at Piarco… which will be used for Executive Jets…
moving along… Gay Dick also came on and talked some mess… and the CEO of SunWay came to make a speech… he also walked with someone who could speak engrish… yes its not my usual typo… the fella was nearly as bad as who he was translating for… cause he had the paper right in front he face whole time… why didnt he just read it on behalf of the CEO boggles my mind… had more blabbing, presentations and unveiling of a plaque… insert Theme from “The Jeffersons” here…
entertainment sucked… well the National Steel Symphonic Orchestra didnt but they were the lanyap… if the ppl couldnt sing cause they were tone deaf ppl were playing wrong notes… them cheap microphones didnt help either…
thing is Parking isnt available on site… the Government used the Queen’s Park Savannah… amm i thought that was illegal but who is me… i aint any MP or member of Cabinet… or CoP even… Philbert wah yuh say… so when you going to the real opening… if you was one ah dem who fight up fuh FREEness… doh worry bout yuh car… being towed/stolen/broken into… it safe… it a lil walk away…
UDeCOTT has also gone into the fete promotion… they see how much money can be made after that Jah Cure incident last weekend… they say more FREEness to come… plenty more drapes and light in this NAPA… I for one glad that it have a building that will last over 100 years… even if we cyar cash in on he promise cause da man eh go live so long… but i wonder what they gonna have there that the majority of Trinidadians/Tobagonians could enjoy…
next on the cards for the Administration is one set ah Highway all over Trinidad… then when that finish… if the Oil & Gas doh finish before is the President’s House… sounds like it would be just in time for the next General Election… i feel PM PM promise Silver Fox at least that much…
oh yeah and PM PM only said “My Dear Friends” once… unless i missed others… it stood out so much… well i was actually waiting for it…
