Belize’s refugee children
By Abdulmajeed K. Nunez
Lord hear my prayer for Belize’s children They are refugees of several wars For which few can prepare or defend them Hailing from predatory environs trying to consume them Violence, incest, drugs, pedophiles and people trying to rape them Born to unskilled parents to fend for them Who scarcely have time to play with them Some don’t have the know how to read to them Lord, hear my prayer for Belize’s children!
Young female teachers trying to teach at risk young men and women The underserved and poverty stricken The ministry has to equip teachers with new techniques to engage them To get past the trauma and trust issue affecting them The dons and cartels are recruiting them Courting, enticing and vying to get loyalty from them No wonder our country is such peril and mayhem Lord, hear my prayer for Belize’s children
The juvenile unjust system Parents are still allow to lock up their children Simply because they cannot control them Starting with the police who are afraid of them Indoctrinated to profile our young black men To abuse and buy in to the police culture of us-against-them Magistrates’ hands are tied in the judiciary system But them the laws are there they have to interpret and implement them A judicial system in peril A Belizean versus those from foreign So our youths become causalities Of a war or refugees just like our Central American neighbours in the 80s
The prison for 13.50 per head per day houses them Warehousing and criminalizing them Exposing them to an environment Where gang recruits them Senior prisoners indoctrinate them With hate and venom Sharing stories and educating them Creating a new generation of universal criminals Under the guise of re-integrating them Lord, hear my prayer for Belize’s children
The hospital is killing them The government is mocking them Joking about neck and back and ramin The make laws to make it mandatory to incarcerate them So they do not benefit from the uncounted welfare system The education policies frustrate them Trying to merge a British and American system Without consulting them about program relevant to them Pushing out our young men so that the street can recruit them This is a human rights problem Lord, hear my prayer for Belize’s children

Child abuse reporting legislation!
By Abdulmajeed K. Nunez
I want to publicly thank Mrs Dolores Balderamos, Faith Babb and Senator Lisa Shoman For championing the cause and helping to draft the legislation And all those who made their contribution To increase the chances of children getting the right protection Thanks for sharing your passion and giving this the right attention The biggest problem I see is implementation But then again some might lack the information Perhaps it’s the time for another round of mass circulation That might even include some media presentations To update the people about the Child Abuse Reporting Regulations.
Happy Mother’s Day to all moms But I want to make a special appeal to all moms In lieu of what happen with the fourteen year student in Belmopan Kudos to the mother who reported this situation And followed it up with the institution I blame the entire institution for failure to report the situation There is a mandatory reporting legislation This case requires a full investigation Some members of staff need to be subject to prosecution Or at the very least asked to hand in their resignation
However, this is abuse of one’s position Despite the fact that there is legislation Under this law, "It shall be the duty of any family member, teacher, social worker, school counselor, employee of a certified children’s institution (especially the Manager thereof), school administrator, principal and deputy principal of any educational institution, dean of a college, probation officer, police officer or any other employee or officer of the Government whose daily duties entails dealing regularly with children, to promptly report orally or in writing all incidents of suspected child abuse which comes to his knowledge and/or attention to the Belize Police Department or to the Department for Investigation."
Now can we honestly celebrate Mother’s Day? When our daughters are prey To those in high positions And even at institutions where they study everyday Yet you’re being invited to ceremonies to serenade It’s all a charade While they take monies from the coffers that you have already paid Using it for political mileage while our children are unprotected Our daughters are being molested, Remember those jack abducted, raped, killed and mutilated Perhaps your memories have been arrested When they bring ham and turkey Or invite you to Mother’s Day party Ask them about your children’s security.

Welfare Poli-tricks
By Abdulmajeed K Nunez
Louis Wade’s ‘Two legged Stool’ still has me thinking I went back into my writings and re-read what Sabino and I were discussing I found some things quite interesting That in the following lines I will be sharing If Belizeans are to truly win There is an issue that is a fundamental thing that they should be advocating The prime minister must not be in charge of financing If we think it through as it stands it’s conflicting It sets him up as king and undermines the entire system
The George Price era was welfare poli-tricks It was done in the United States If you look at the parallel in the 50s When they work toward the blacks to become citizens Their plan was to re-enslave them by creating a system of dependency They gave them handouts - welfare That is what was promulgated, shipped out to Belize, Jamaica, Trinidad in the 60s
Price was a follower and admirer of Nehru from India So he was influenced by what Nehru was doing in the forties Nehru was Price’s mentor, but he too was influenced by Stalin Price and those being trained with him around the same time were all influenced by Stalin His prospective taking over from Richardson this was the direction he took the People’s United Party In 1956 he took over and things changed This is the reason for the split When Richardson went as an observer at the conference on federation Price came back hell bent on collecting on the promises and said, “Let’s give it a try!” Richardson and Goldson left the meeting in September 1956 When they walked out the meeting they had to choose new leaders Richardson was the first PUP Leader
Our politicians have been doing whatever they want from day one When you look at the history in the 1960s The governor who gave a contract to Fred Hunter’s ancestors To dredge the canal when his term was finished in 1966 The contract was given without tender with exclusivity In recent times we have Novelos Bus Company and Kolbe? The colonial secretary took it away from Hunter But due to his conniving negotiation and buttering someone’s hand he won This corruption was been happening since the British And when we got self government it became outlandish Price was aspiring for self government from the day of adult suffrage Because it meant we created our own budget and controlled our own monies Our country was not running its own budget in 54 as a matter of fact this began in 64
Why does the prime minister have to be minister of finance? Price wanted it and it continued because that is where the power lies Belize does not operate the way America does we adopted the Westminister model They appoint senators, decide the cabinet and have control to appoint the judiciary Whoever wins the majority controls the legislature and becomes a dictator
The blue and white flag was not the PUP flag It was in fact the Baymen’s flag -- they absorbed it as the forefathers of the country They adopted it and then Price killed the history of the Baymen He wanted to look at the future, and our alliances with Central America To do that he down played and cut out the history of the battle of St George’s Caye Even though his father led that parade on horseback annually From the time he was a baby, check the history! Hence we have no real affiliation with the West Indies
The entire Caribbean is in a funk In an outlandish funk that requires young minds To come in clean it up and change it up so we can look forward to the twenty-first century With programs like climate change we are just following the leader We need to start to ask pertinent questions and stop being beggars Who is benefiting from these programs? The citizens must formulate and give the government their programs.

No Show Biz Revolution!
By Abdulmajeed K Nunez
Everyone is looking for a showbiz revolution When the real revolution is returning to our agricultural orientation Being able to feed ourselves as a nation Poverty is not Belize’s ailment Poverty is not having the confidence To take opportunities for our own development Why are we waiting for a government? Why do the people like to lament? PUDP is not about development The real similitude of this government Is that of tenant paying rent, but we have as a people have become decadent We’ll allowed this government to renege on our arrangement
Instead of dividing and conquering the country We should planning strategically To set ourselves into sectors for productivity White corn, yellow corn, red kidney beans, and the cattle industry This could boost our economy But we will have to join the disjointed country Improve the infrastructure to transport in commercial quantity To the deepest water port in the country without losing so much money Hindering productivity in country is being done intentionally To enrich the royal families, they are stifling local industries To get foreign money
Let’s ask the foreign trade minister Where is the Guatemalans order? After the meeting with the Guatemalan small farmers at the Radisson He keeps making excuses for no reason If we plan strategically, Belize has the capacity Five hundred young bulls, three hundred pigs, weekly One million pounds of yellow black and white corn Ten thousand pounds of RK beans and sugar, this is how the revolution could be born But our ministry of agriculture is not thinking critically They are thinking of pickings from a trade show annually Mind you with no accountability They are about enrichment of cronies and their families Tragically keeping the country in poverty They are not about the country’s food security Not capitalizing on regional cooperation strategies
They are planning to close the Mexican and Guatemalan border To enrich the Vega empire His brother and San Cas being two huge importers At the sacrifice of the local importers Remember the imported onions from Canada They killed the local rice industry By importing rice from Paraguay Check these facts if you think I am telling a lie
The Belizean people need to seek out startup capital Belizean needs to start thinking radical We think international and regional
And start producing in quantity that’s commercial We need to push for a national headquarters for famers We need to organize cane, sugar, and livestock producers And operate from our headquarters, that’s when we will have true bargaining power All government is doing is dividing and conquering And stifling the local importers Boycotting our local producers and selling out to foreigners

Maafa
By Abdulmajeed K Nunez
After one hundred and fifty years of experimentation America has finally perfected their weapon of mass destruction After slavery was abolished they did not know what to do with the black population Some 40 million, so they developed of plan of extermination Their fears were retaliation and retribution Following Francis Goltin they came up with the Eugenics solution Turning the white against the black population Congress funded this colonization
They tried again with our brothers in Vietnam Eugene Fisher came up with sterilization Starting with countries controlled by the Germans Funded by the Carnage Corporation and Rockefeller Foundation When that did not work, they put chemical in the food and the water They solicited Nixon to get help to influence legislation When that did not work they took it to the United Nations So they do not have to dirty their hands Planned parenthood became their new standard of operation
They used Bill Clinton to issue an executive order To send American dollars abroad to fund sterilization They target the black and brown populations Ford, Kissinger and Rockefellers Then they came up with coercions By having the blacks buy into birth control and then abortion Under developing third world nations Subjecting the Haitians to starvation Giving ninety percent of their women contraception
The UN is the main promoter of this Maafa Through organization like Planned Parenthood, UNESCO and UNAID Urban removal? That is nothing but black removal They even withhold aid from countries who suffer natural disasters Until they jump on board their Planned Parenthood agenda 1997 Guyana after resisting for twelve years, they had to if they were to recover They did in Africa, and even in New Orleans after Katrina They even did it Bermuda until people rebelled in the Caribbean The UN has increased funding 130 percent for family planning agenda
This is cultural suicide, and black genocide These are some of the hyperbole under which they hide Family planning, pro choice, reproductive rights These are code words and marketing slogans They have even pushed for the legalization of abortion Using aid to force other countries in conformation They refuse to recognize Belize as a black nation Planned Parenthood has been in Belize since 1981 In the form of the Belize Family Life Association This is how they have been controlling our population And boycotting our nation, buying out our politicians Paying for our underdevelopment Fooling our country’s parents
Abortion in Belize has and is decimating our nation It has killed more Belizeans than HIV, gang violence and cancer We are consumed with UNIBAM But we do not understand the sinister plan Is to annihilate the black population And steal the wealth from the Caribbean nations They even come on the platform of climate change These people are deranged Now you understand why PUDP behavior is estrange Since the early day our leaders have been engage Ever wonder why our population has not reached a million? Do you find it strange, whenever we borrow monies this is the exchange.

The feeding trough!
By Abdulmajeed K Nunez
I expected better! From Genitty, Caritas, Aird, Carol and Brenda Who have been in the school system forever! More so, in the capacity of administrators So they know the constraints as managers But have miraculously forgotten, now that their bread has butter Now that most of them are doctors, sitting at the table of their master They now think they are better because they are now the decision makers
We have schools refusing kids You trying to tell me they can’t find space Majority of these parents are single parents Many of the children are truants Pick them up and put them in school Some kids honestly want to go Put 50% of them in school and the other 50% in the army Our children need a structured system We have to find ways to engage them Invest in the army for those who do not want to go to school All the doctors in the ministry of education Are looking to pad up and help their alma maters They do not look at the extenuating and overarching factors They are about helping the Anglicans, the Methodists and the Catholics They are there for their own self interests Hence the reason that it is nonsense what they now suggest Then they are forcing the masses to ingest and digest
We have the same problem with UB every year The amalgamation of UB was done in a similar manner Without consultations with all the stakeholders So people go to UB because they have no other choice For some it takes six or more years to do a bachelors degree Having to wait till a certain course is offered When the campus transferred, some had to go to Belmopan It’s just all sort of confusion and so is this one Belize lack truly lacks visionary planners and negotiators
Even if this move is a cost effective measure Look at the CET now ITVET program There is only one on the way to reaching the bar Orange Walk ITVET dih function and Belize City dih play catch up! And in Dangriga, well dat is used fuh hospital, concerts and workshop These only have some thirty students on an average for what it’s worth So too does the ITVET in Cayo, how is that for comfort? What surprising is we have former high school educators Siding with an incompetent minister, singing for their supper Caritas, Genity, Armstrong, Carol, the chief and CEO A chief who was principal of Sacred Heart, oh! All people familiar with secondary schools so they should know better CEO came out of sixth form, tertiary and higher! Brenda – Wesley College leader Caritas – St Catherine’s Carol – primary school manager Genity – E.P Yorke fuh yearz as headmaster They know exactly what is facing the secondary schools And to turn around now and merge three schools into one They are breaking down an entire community and destabilizing the whole country Each school able to fit at least three hundred, four maximum, maybe This merger eliminates five hundred kids already This was done with the national university And twice wid south side pickney I am talking about Excelsior specifically
Whenever our country gets monies for programs We do not prioritize, we sing the songs of donors We clearly do not know where we’re going as a nation Three schools with not enough students There are sufficient kids out here that are not enrolled in schools that can fill these three schools When we have thousands of students not going to school We have the population to fill all three schools night and day That should have been their first priority, followed by getting all teachers qualified to fit into the country's strategy Because teachers have challenges just as the students, some cannot cope with teaching children from predatory environments Despite Caritas boasting about principals managing these criminal elements
The finance reform wit places like SCA that took student with 80s and 90s High-end schools were looking for 50s and 60s to pad up their finances Now they are the ones getting 20s and 30s this is part of the reality The bulk is not in school because of social economic issues Many of them can't pay to go to school This whole thing about free education is just a lot of talk There need to be more incentives The night school is practically free one hundred dollars dah all they pay If students can do that for the night, then extend it to the day When last did they give the first top ten graduates a scholarship opportunity This would be a motivational possibility
They say they are creating something for the south-side schools But exempt Gwen Liz out of it Being in the minister’s constituency they get everything What about the caliber of students they are taking in? You can’t expect a student who got 20s on PSE to do ten CXCs Even on a good day that’s an impossibility We have counselors but have no career coaches in schools If that would be implemented it would help some people A lot of kids at the second form level take certain subjects just because of friends They need to diversify the subjects and create more opportunity
They talk about computer literacy at high school That is for primary school they should be more advanced at primary school At high school they should be drawing, making music and manipulating other computer programs Yet they put the cart before the horse and at high school do reading programs Notwithstanding this is a new era Why do we have retirees planning our future? When we are moving into new millennia Why not use a teacher 45-50 to create a new curriculum with cadre of new teachers?
