Senior Counsel Israel Khan has gone PNM. He denies that his briefs from the State were an influencing factor.
Khan declines to answer if it would be good for the country if the PNM should win a constitutional majority in the upcoming general election, making it possible for laws to be passed without the support of the Opposition.
Mr Khan, I feel that after this interview, you may not wish to speak to me again, but I have some blunt questions to ask you. May I?
Clevon, I usually face tough questions in my profession, so I don’t mind answering questions like that.
Very well. Mr Khan, have you sold out to the PNM?
[Stunned and pausing for about 20 seconds in his chambers on Thursday morning and then laughing aloud]. Have I sold out to the PNM? That question is a political question you are asking me [pausing again], and it suggests I belonged to another political party and I have crossed the floor...
No. No. The question should be read only as it is asked. Have you sold out to the PNM?
No. I have not sold out to the PNM, but at this point in time, I am a supporter of the PNM, and I support the party, I support...
You fockin sell out to get big brief Cont.
Senior, this has come as a surprise to many people, including me, especially as in June, 2003, you told me you had not gone PNM. What has caused this radical change?
Well, I am satisfied the present leadership of the PNM is making a great effort to include every national in the party...
No, is the fockin amount ah money I making now. All I have to do, is put up my finger for the Balisier and I loading up my fockin Bank account all yuh ass.
Mr Khan, you are a man about town. Have you heard the talk that because of the heavy briefs you have been receiving from the State that perhaps you have been influenced to...
[Interrupting]...give my support to the PNM. That is certainly not so. I would like to believe that whatever briefs I have received from the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Attorney General that they would have considered my competence, integrity, and I believe that I, like other lawyers, being briefed because of my competence.
Fockin lie, it ha 90 times more competent attorneys than you who doh sen criminals in the jail to solicit business.
Even so, Mr Khan, people still cannot get over your political move…?
I will vote for the PNM, and I am of the view that the leadership manages the economy properly.
Ha, like you is some big fockin economist. Every fockin economic asshole will tell you that the PNM is mismanaging the resources of the State, especially to feed fockers like you.
Senior, are you not compromising your professional integrity or yourself in any other way?
No. I’m of that view.
No, I done do that long time ago.
You go to bed with your conscience very clear?
yeah, and meh bamcee plugged by some fockin homosexual PNM creole ah could find at the time.
This did not come as an overnight situation. I have been looking at the political parties, and the COP is really the NAR of 1986.
Dat is the only true thing you say.
Before we go there, the talk is that you have received or are about to receive something for supporting the PNM?
[Chuckling]. You see, Trinidadians are very narrow-minded; in that to support something you must get something. I believe the leadership of this country is managing our diversity very well.
Yeah, big briefs (manning jockey shorts) to smell after he done bull Christine.
Mr Khan, do you expect to get a place in Mr Manning’s cabinet?
[Twirling a pencil between his fingers]. I have no ambition to be in active politics.
Once I making money, fock Cabinet. Then the change go be less.
Mr Khan, I believe you are hiding something. Nothing you have said so far has convinced me that you have joined the PNM simply because you believe it is the better party to run this country..?
Clevon, it is because you are listening to rumours. I have heard that I am contesting [counting on his fingers] St Augustine, St Joseph and Tunapuna...
So which one are you really contesting?
[Laughing]. None of them. But Clevon, I thought when you came to interview me this morning we would be dealing with the issue of race…
Fock dem greasy head coolie South of the Caroni bridge. I doh fockin care bout them.
No. No. I did not make any deals with you.
[Protesting vigorously]. No. No. Not a deal, not a deal...
I came to discuss your sudden swing to the PNM.
[Half smiling]. Look; there are many prominent and grassroots Indians who are supporting the PNM this time around, you know?
How did you gauge that?
Speaking to people on the ground level, by speaking to professionals...
On my latest tour of Uranus (your anus)
You are aware, of course, that the PNM has been accused of discriminating against Indians?
There are many East Indians who would see race behind anything.
I does only see race to lik up dem young Indian lawyers and take way dey wok.
Racism?
Well, that issue is one more of perception than reality, but that does not mean to say what has happened in Guyana cannot happen here.
Yeah like I does perceive that I does be fockin Joan Yuille Williams in she bottom and finishin off wid a blow job from them glorious teeth in she horse mouth.
But Clevon, PNM is definitely going to win the next election; they may not get the three-fifths majority, as some people are predicting.
Would it be a good thing, Mr Khan, if the party should get that majority?
[Gently knocking his pencil on a note pad on his desk]. Well, if the opposition keeps blocking legislation…
Duncee head answer, fock. Who does do your legal work ?
No. No. Mr Khan. Would it be a good thing for the country if the party should get that kind of majority? To change the laws of the country without requiring the support of the Opposition?
[A pensive expression while looking out the window of his Abercromby Street chambers]. Was it a good thing that NAR got 33 and the PNM three?
Mr Khan, you are beating around the bush...You know you cannot answer a question with another question. Is it a good thing?
[Back to tapping his note pad with the pencil and a long pause]. You see, I cannot say, because I do not know the future…I don’t know.
Revealin his stupidity again.
But Mr Khan, if you are prepared to vote for a party, shouldn’t you have absolute confidence in the way the party conducts its business in government?
What I wish today at this point is that whoever is in power we need to have a strong Opposition to keep the PNM on their toes.
Oh fock, like he really aint know what he want now.
So I see you are not answering the question, Mr Khan?
[Grinning]. I take the Fifth Amendment on this one.
Yuh cont, it doh ha no fockin 5th here in Trinidad.
Well said, Mr Khan. Do you agree that politicians are fuelling this race talk, especially at election time, for their own selfish ends?
Clevon, it is an historical situation where, because of colonial policies, there was mistrust and antagonism between the major races, but we have come a long way.
Do politicians exploit that historical mistrust as you have described it?
I talk to Patos and we decide how to fix dat already.
[Loud tone]. So what do you think Panday was doing when he said they wanted to hang two Indians with one rope?
There couldn’t be a more racist statement than that.
What about when Mr Manning said another black man bites the dust when the UNC fired Malcolm Jones from a big job in the energy sector?
Well [another chuckle], it is just as Panday saying another East Indian bites the dust. Race is used conveniently. You see, Mr Manning is in a very fortunate position with this huge windfall, because with a lot of money you could manage the diversity.
By the same token, any fool could spend money?
Yeah. But he is spending it wisely, and those who are saying otherwise must tell me how he is spending it foolishly.
Oh fock, well blow me down.
Mr Khan, you know I cannot understand what is going on, with you coming out this morning to defend Mr Manning?
He is taking some bold steps, and I am of the view he is moving in the right direction. And you cannot talk about racism as it was years ago.
Yeah, dat is why he losing all dem discriminatory battles in court. Maybe you should do one or two for him.
Look around and see how many East Indians are in the Police Service. Check out the Sir Hugh Wooding Law School, the medical faculty at UWI. They have to manage the diversity, and he is making a great effort at doing that.
Which mudder cont Indian in the police service?
De fockin Indians in Law and Med School on merit and hard work cont. Not because the PNM want to see Indians in there.
Yuh fockin asshole.

Caribbean Airlines CEO earning $.5m monthly
Caribbean Airlines’ chief executive officer Peter Davies could be in receipt of handsome salary and fringe benefits—anywhere in the region of £50,000 (about $655,000) a month.
This is according to local airline sources, who offered that figure yesterday, after the Government pointedly ducked a question concerning the remuneration of Davies, a 56-year-old British citizen.
The refusal has attracted a stinging accusation that the Government believes it can spend taxpayers’ money with impunity.
In a written answer filed in the Lower House on Friday in response to a question tabled by Caroni East MP Ganga Singh, the Government refused, on the grounds of confidentiality, to divulge Davies’ terms of employment.
Singh had demanded that the Government also account to the Parliament on the remuneration earned by two other expatriates: Francois Parisseau, Caribbean Airlines’ director of marketing, and Anne Cole, vice president, human resources.
The answer provided on Friday by Leader of Government Business Ken Valley indicated the terms, conditions and salary of the trio “were considered to be of a competitive nature, and release of this information into the public domain is considered prejudicial to the airline’s strategic and competitive position.
WEEEEEEEEEEEYYYY SA!
5 and ah half mill ah month.
To fockin fire the entire mudda cont staff, sell the fockin Heathrow slots, crush the fockin union and allow Joanne Edwards to niggerise the entire operation.
I coulda do that.
In all seriousness though. Ganga and Valley done ha dey deal goin down with CWee, the new airline wid dem Constellation people.
So is jus to fock the ole bwee to the cross now, like Valley did wid Acker the last time around.

Manning: I’m healthy for service
By SEAN DOUGLAS Saturday, July 14 2007
PRIME MINISTER Patrick Manning caused good-natured laughter yesterday when he assured the House of Representatives that he has been certified fit for service “at all levels” yesterday.
He was replying to a casual query and good wishes from Chaguanas MP Manohar Ramsaran about his recent health check-up in Cuba where he had previously had a heart-valve replacement and was fitted with a pacemaker.
“I’d like to assure him and the members of the national community that not only have I been given a clean bill of health, but the doctor has assured me that I can return to service at all levels with full capacity, Mr Speaker.”
At that jocular quip, MPs clapped as laughter filled the House.
Minutes earlier Manning had struck a serious note as he explained that recently he had got two differing diagnoses on his health.
Yes Shithead Mano! Enquire about yuh fockin colleague.
Doctors remove ah lump from Kamla breast but yuh aint concern bout she, yuh former Cabinet colleague. You concern bout Manning so the COP will make PNM win this election, so all yuh go finally get rid of the ole man from the scene. But all yuh wait, you aint see Manning say he ready for servicing.
He want to service all yuh cont jus like he droppin that limp black prick on Christine Sahadeo all over Trinidad.
Why you think he driving around by he self now. He aint want the security to see he pickin she up to go and bull she all over the place.
Just now they go have to put ah pacemaker in she cyat.

A Political Mirage
By RIA TAITT Saturday, July 14 2007
Congress of the People leader Winston Dookeran’s experiences with UNC leader Basdeo Panday both in respect of the NAR and the UNC, have caused him to be wary of any invitation to join forces once again with the Silver Fox.
And his wariness has been strengthened by what he sees as the collapse, even before it has gotten off the ground, of the recent electoral accommodation of the UNC and four small parties. Dookeran feels that this “disaster” has undermined and damaged the political position of not only the alliance itself, but of all the parties which subscribe to it, including the UNC.
The general perception held by many in the country, including persons in the UNC, is that a Panday/Dookeran alliance would be a formidable electoral force. Dookeran however remains absolute and resolute in his rejection of any alliance, that is based not on common principles and philosophies, but on personalities and political convenience.
It is doomed to fail, he told Newsday in a interview done at Maple Leaf International, on Thursday night, on the eve of his departure for China in which he gave his views of the whole concept of an alliance and on the current UNC alliance between UNC and other parties, including the NAR.
The fockin mirage he seeing is the fockin "Silver Fox." Punto mudder cont finale!
The people crying for unity cont. Every Tom Dick and Prick on the road saying to yuh.......UNITE, but nah.
You have to seek the fockin oligarchy's interest. Everybody else slowly coming together..........so fock you and next year we'll bid you good fockin riddance from the politics of T&T
Haul u parrot shaking head mudder cont.

Minister: $613m spent on school construction
Anna Ramdass aramdass@trinidadexpress.com
Wednesday, July 11th 2007
Education Minister Hazel Manning yesterday clarified that Government did not spend $239 million for the construction of schools, but some $613 million.
At the Senate sitting at the Red House yesterday Manning, in a statement, sought to clarify the figures she gave at a previous sitting in response to a question on the order paper.
The question asked for a detailed breakdown of the expenditure for the construction of early childhood care centres (ECCE) and primary and secondary schools during the period January 1st 2002 to December 31st 2006.
Manning had said that 47 schools in total (18 ECCE,18 primary, 11 secondary) were constructed to the tune of $239,701,713.
Yesterday, she said Government had actually spent more money on construction, but that in her previous response she did not mention some other schools which were constructed under another programme.
"This Government has incurred expenditure on the construction of 70 schools, 23 more than initially stated," Manning said.
"Heavy weather has been made of the figures given in the response to question 62, and in this context, the Government wishes to make it abundantly clear that what actually occurred was that the total number of schools that the Government spent money on was understated in the previous response, whereby schools constructed under the fourth basic education project and the SEMP phase two project were omitted.
One simple question. Where d fockin schools ?
Everyone wants to know. Unless yuh build dem schools in yuh teefin son Brian Mannigga cacahole.
We cyah find one ah dem schools Hazel...help us. Where you build dem fockin schools?
Or just be honest and tell we wey the $613 million gone.

COP's 'Unity Safari' offers 'clean slate'
WHILE the United National Congress has united with different political groups to fight the general election, the Congress of the People (COP) has set up a caravan to move throughout the country to unite the people, COP political leader Winston Dookeran says.
Referring to the caravan as a "Unity Safari", Dookeran said they were already seeing results.
"That is what is bringing people like economist Dr Patrick Watson and former House speaker Nizam Mohammed onto our platform. The unity drive is beginning to pay."
He was speaking at a public meeting at the Montrose Government School in Chaguanas on Tuesday. Both Dr Watson and Mohammed also addressed the meeting.
The UNC has joined forces with four smaller political groups-the National Alliance for Reconstruction (NAR), Democratic Party of Trinidad and Tobago (DPTT), National Democratic Party (NDP) and YEStt-in the hope of defeating the PNM in the upcoming general election.
But Dookeran remained defiant that his party would continue with its own agenda.
"While some (people) continue to talk about unity, we shall be the unity party of Trinidad and Tobago," he said, adding that the evidence of such would be seen in the next six weeks.
Now this cont eh bet he fockin dotish nah. Lard put ah hand.
What fockin safari he on. Like he touring Mt. fockin Kilimanjaro looking for baboons to support the COP or did he find "tabla head Nizam Mohammed and Dr. Patrick Watson on the fockin safari?
Every fockin jackass in the country pleading wid d leaders of all the opposing parties to the PNM to get together to defeat them.
This is the only group that is detemined not to join forces to win the election. They have said so over and over. So the rest of us are movin on... and dey heaping scorn on the effort.
What the UNC has done is to make an effort that demonstrates that they are willing to work with any group that is opposed to the PNM.
The COP on the other hand is fockin bent on providing the PNM with the government on ah silver platter.
Question is: Who benefits from this fockin split on the opposing sides?
PNM off course!

Conflicting reports on Danah collecting award
Amidst growing controversy over Caribbean Vizion’s naming of Danah Alleyene as an exemplar to T&T’s youth, there are conflicting reports about whether Danah plans to receive the “100 per cent Crime Free” Youth Motivation Award.
In a release yesterday, 13-year-old youth activist Choc’late Allen said she received “the expressed permission from Ms Danah Alleyene’s official representation, namely ‘Flaming Words Ministry,’” that (Danah) will attend and receive the ‘100 per cent Crime Free’ Youth Motivation Award.”
Danah, 15, is one of six “exemplars to the nation’s youth” selected by Choc’late’s organisation—Caribbean Vizion to receive monetary awards, the release said.
However, Danah’s brother Ian, said in a telephone interview yesterday he could not confirm whether Danah would attend the awards ceremony or receive the award.
He said he saw Choc’late’s invitation as a “PR stunt.”
More fockin dotishness. Trinidad jus goin from fockin bad to worse.
This underage little slut, went Zen, get focked up on stage by an African gorilla. If you see she get dong on the dutty black cock in the fockin toilet in Zen ( and believe me I saw the video)
