Hundreds protest attack on Temple on the Sea
Louis B Homer South Bureau
Every day, at least 50 people visit the Temple on the Sea at Waterloo, Central Trinidad.
After the news broke that an attempt was made to burn the temple, there were hundreds of visitors who went to view the damage or to express their disgust about the incident.
Owner of the temple Randolph Rampersad said four murtis (statues) were damaged and bundled together, several windows were damaged and an attempt was made to burn the 12-year-old shrine, which replaced one constructed in 1949 by an East Indian immigrant, Sewdas Sadhu.
The four murtis that were damaged are of Lord Krishna, Lord Ganesh, Hannuman Baba and Mother Durga. Rampersad said, "It will cost approximately $100,000 to repair the damage done to the temple."
The Rampersad family was shocked at the extent off the damage done to the temple.
It have to take some dotish setta niggas to do something like this.
Off course these fockers doh have no sense of fockin religion in them and as such no regard for any fockin people. They doh know whether dem is mudder cont Christian, Muslim, Buddhists or whatever. Hinduism is the only religion that will not accept these fockers. So they mash up the mudder cont thing.
And bet you bottom dollar the fockin waste ah time police will be of no use in finding perpetrators of this disgusting act.
Something telling me is dem niggas from Boot Hill. And they probably responding from the fockin racist comments made by people on the COP platform.

Uganda: The Asian Backlash
April 29, 2007 Frontline World.Uganda: The Asian BacklashBY Jonathan Jones
It was our second week in Uganda. My wife and I were heading back tothe capital, Kampala, after two days in the beautiful Kibale Forest inthe southwest of the country.
Approaching the city, our driver, Geoffrey, received a text message.
Protests had erupted in the capital over the government's decision to hand over more than 7,000 hectares of the Mabira Forest Reserve to an Asian-owned sugarcane company, and things had turned violent.
What began as an environmental demonstration left three people dead, including a 25-year-old Indian man who was pulled off his motorcycleand stoned to death.Some of the demonstrators carried signs that read, "Save Mabira Forest," but others touted messages proclaiming, "Asians should go,"and "For one tree cut, five Indians dead," along with praise for Idi Amin's decision to expel the Asian community in the 1970s.
When an Asian man tried to escape the crowd by driving through it, knocking down several black men, the crowd began attacking Asians indiscriminately, looting their businesses, and smashing the windows of a Hindu Temple, according to local newspaper reports.
During a radio call-in show that night some callers condemned the attacks, but others were less conciliatory.
"Asians would rather throw away the food they don't eat rather than give it to an African," said one caller."Idi Amin saved us," said another.
Driving back through downtown Kampala after the riots, I was struck by how deserted the city looked.
Reporter, Jonathan Jones, surveys the local newspaper headlines following the riots that left three people dead.
When I first arrived in Uganda, I couldn't help but notice the number of Asian businesses. Asians own the majority of the upscale hotels, restaurants and retail stores in the capital.
But most black Ugandans earn very little and are trying desperately to escape poverty.
When Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni came to power in the mid-1980s, he essentially inherited an economy in shambles. Desperate to revive his country's fortunes, Museveni wooed Asians back to Uganda, believing that they could attract foreign investors. He offered to return their property and provide them with financial compensation. But his policies reignited old hostilities.
In the last two decades, Asians, especially those of Indian descent,have re-established both their economic and class status in Ugandan society. Today, India is one of the largest foreign investors in Uganda, and Asians make up a large portion of the country's elite.
But this resurgence has come at a cost. At upscale restaurants or hotels, I've seen Asian bosses verbally abuse their black employees. I've noticed black Ugandans checking to see if their Asian bosses are watching before taking a tip. Of course, I've also seen Asian employers showing their employees compassion and respect, while black Ugandan business owners mistreat their black workers. But I would be lying if I said I hadn't noticed the power dynamic between Asian employers and their black employees here.
A number of failed Asian business projects, including the Sri-Lankanrun Tri-Star Apparels textile factory that produced clothing forWal-Mart and other U.S. stores, have fueled further resentment toward Asian businesses. The general perception is that these large industries are taking money away from Africans.
But even more important, many Ugandans feel that Asian businesses are influencing the country's political future by feeding money into the ruling party, which recently moved to scrap constitutional term limits so that Museveni could run for another term.
The opposition along with aid organizations have accused the president of cracking down on dissent and expanding his own presidential powers. Although Museveni denies this, it remains to be seen whether the leading opposition party, the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC), will use the wave of anti-Asian sentiment to build political support.
TheFDC has already stated that the recent racial attacks are a result of the government's favorable business policies toward Asians. A few days after the riots when everything looked to be settling down,trouble flared again when police arrested two opposition members of parliament in connection with the Mabira Forest demonstrations. Hundreds of opposition supporters poured on to the streets. Riot police blocked parts of downtown Kampala and used tear gas and clubs to break up the crowds.
The minute I stepped out of a cab, I couldhardly see or breathe for the noxious effects of the smoke. Other groups, known as the "kiboko" or "stick brigade," because of the canes they carry, worked alongside the police, chasing people through the streets and clobbering anyone who failed to stop. I noticed hundreds of young men lining the streets, waiting to see what would happen next. I didn't stick around to find out.In the aftermath of the violence, I got the sense from both public and media reactions that most Ugandans would rather harmony prevail.
Asian and black Ugandans alike realize that the last thing the country needs is a reputation for violent xenophobia that could scare away much-needed foreign visitors and investment.
As for the fate of the reserve, leaders from both communities were also in agreement that the precious natural habitat was worth tryingto save.The question now is whether Museveni and his government are willing to listen.

Over the next 18 months,Jones and reporter, Anna Sussman, will be traveling through East Africa, the Indian Subcontinent and South East Asia reporting on peace and reconciliation.
Does this sound or smells familiar?

TT will help Africa’s poverty
By SEAN DOUGLAS Friday, August 3 2007
PRIME MINISTER Patrick Manning yesterday vowed that this country will help “relieve suffering and poverty on the African continent.” He told reporters this at Piarco International Airport moments after the departure of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni following a three-day State visit.
“We will assist Uganda in energy development. They discovered oil and gas last year,” Manning said.
He explained that Uganda’s energy sector is in “a different stage of its developmental paradigm.” He also said a Ugandan delegation would soon visit this country to talk to businessmen interested in investing in Uganda, following Museveni’s invitation on Wednesday for local businesses to take advantage of Uganda’s preferential trade access to US, European, Chinese and Japanese markets for certain items without taxes or quotas.
Reporters asked Manning about the value of such links in energy and trade between TT and Uganda and he said it was not a matter to be measured in dollars and cents but rather in terms of “the contribution of Trinidad and Tobago to relieving suffering and poverty on the African continent.”
He brushed off concern about unrest in Uganda, saying unrest had occurred even in the United States and in this country in 1990. “We intervene in the development of people,” he said.
He added that he supported cultural links between the two countries, saying a Ugandan troupe of artistes could perform at next year’s Emancipation Day celebrations. “It was a short but very successful visit,” Manning said.
Reports are that Uganda’s combined energy reserves of about 26,000 barrels per day (bpd) exceeds its own current requirements of 12,000 bpd and that it is expected to be a supplier to its East African neighbours.
Same fockin thing I thought. I know this visit did boil dong to dem African mudder cont despots coming to fockin beg. Like all niggas is vagrants or wa ?
Why the fock Manning want to take up the resouces of T&T and fockin give it away like that and worse for nutten in return. All dem fockin nigga leaders on the African continent livin like Kings and Queens while dey fockin people starving. Driving about 40 fockin Benz, private aircraft and ah setta fockin useless mudder cont around dem..
Hear the big cont Manning, this is not a matter that you measure in dollars and sense. What wanton fockery. Which fockin Trinidadian businessman goin to invest in fockin Uganda cont? Yuh think businessmen dotish to invest and den 2 weeks after yuh hear dey have some coup, another nigga want to be Don Raja and take away everything that people wok for. Like he fockin bredda Idi do?
Boy Idi Ot Manning, go and raise fockin ole people pension so dey could live comfortable nah. Give the fockin farmers some money to plant some food cont. Remove vat from all food nah cont. Give people in rural areas some fockin water on a regular basis nah cont. Fix the fockin roads nah cont.
So much to do wid we money and you want to give it to some maniac African mudder cont? Fock off Mannning

Panday: Crime wave keeps us enslaved
POLITICAL leader of the United National Congress Basdeo Panday says as T&T observes Emancipation Day, people are enslaved and held prisoner by an unprecedented crime wave.
In a media release issued on Tuesday by the UNC Alliance, Panday said as the nation celebrates 169 years of freedom, people must cultivate the economic independence of their foreparents who struggled and gave up their lives.
“We must return to the strong family values which characterised our ancestors,” the release said.
The release said although slaves were emancipated, the residue of slavery lingers on.
“The political and physical emancipation of the slaves didn’t mean that there was a corresponding and mental freedom that came with it. We must cultivate the economic independence of our foreparents who struggled and gave up their lives.
We must return to the strong family values which characterised our ancestors.”
Not only the crime wave Bas, the PNM have dem niggas up in Laventille in bondage still. They cyah support dey self and still have to depend on massa Manning to provide dem wid handouts for survival.
And the cont and dem feel so grateful that they still turn around and vote for Massa.

Museveni urges role for Caricom in Africa
BY GEISHA KOWLESSAR
The Caribbean Community (Caricom) may soon play an integral role in Africa if visiting Ugandan President Youweri Museveni has his way.
Museveni yesterday announced his intention to make the regional body an “observer” in the African Union.
Addressing a large crowd of participants colourfully bedecked in elaborate African wear, Museveni said he was impressed with the achievements of Caricom.
“I would support the idea of Caricom becoming an observer in the African Union or the sixth region of the African Union... There are five regions and I would want Caricom to become the sixth,” he said.
Speaking from a podium at the Brian Lara Promenade in Port-of-Spain, Museveni also said he was impressed with the overall development of T&T, citing the free-education-for-all system.
Describing T&T as an “industrialised economy,” Museveni said much more could be achieved if the Caribbean became united.
“You must not only unite yourselves as black people, but you must also unite yourselves as Caribbean people,” he said.
“You may think these islands are small but they are not small at all... If you act together you will be stronger.”
He added that plans were on the drawing board to make Africa a united place with the coming together of all groups and states.
“We are working to unite East Africa and eventually the whole of Africa,” said the Ugandan president.
Expressing his delight in seeing so may people supporting their ancestral heritage, Museveni said, “I feel as if I’m in some part of Africa.”
The crowd responded with lusty cheers.
However, unlike the participants, Museveni himself was not in traditional African attire, but instead wore a baby-blue, short-sleeved cotton shirt, light grey trousers and a broad-brimmed hat.
His wife Janet was similarly garbed in a flowing lime green outfit devoid of any fancy embroidery, black sandals and a woven straw hat.
Off course with the resources of T&T, why not really make Caricom the sixth region of Africa.
The fockin PNM niggas only show you one side of T&T Museveni. They probably didnt tell you that it ha more Indians in T&T, they didnt tell you that the PNM encourage niggas to rob and kidnap Indian people. So ah wont blame yuh, but if I was you doh study Manning and fockin Selwyn Cudjoe. They like real slave drivers and will suck out the resources of Uganda.
They still have niggas in Trinidad under slavery.
Notice d dotish fockers wear African wear while you and yuh wife look resplendent in typical European wear.
Doh come back again Museveni. Run from dem fockers.

Magistrate refuses to step down
By ANDRE BAGOO Wednesday, August 1 2007
MAGISTRATE Ejenny Espinet yesterday refused to recuse (step down) herself from the Integrity retrial of former Prime Minister Basdeo Panday, saying there was not enough circumstances to disqualify her on the basis of “apparent bias.”
Both the defence and prosecution had asked the magistrate to recuse herself. Lead prosecutor Sir Timothy Cassel QC argued that because Espinet was also presiding in another matter in which Panday is charged (the Piarco III bribery inquiry) she would have been exposed to overlapping evidence.
Panday had been convicted of failing to declare a NatWest Bank account to the Integrity Commission. But on March 20, the Court of Appeal quashed his conviction on the basis of apparent (not actual) bias on the part of Chief Magistrate Sherman Mc Nicolls.
A retrial was ordered, but Panday will be going to the Privy Council in an attempt to block it, on October 4.
The charge in the Piarco III inquiry concerns itself with bribes allegedly paid into a London bank account in relation to the Piarco Airport project.
As Panday sat in the prisoners’ dock yesterday, Espinet gave three reasons why she was not recusing herself. Noting the heavy workload of the Magistrates’ Courts, she said the decision to recuse herself would be “a serious one” as it would set precedent for other matters, especially given the “inevitable” situation whereby magistrates often preside over several matters involving the same litigant.
However, she expressed the view that the “proper exercise of the judicial functions of (a) Magistrate” should not easily be brought into question and that as such recusal should only occur in specific circumstances.
She furthermore added that in the Piarco III inquiry, she presided over evidence adduced at the preliminary inquiry level, not the trial level. The evidentiary thresholds in such matters she said were markedly different.
“I cannot accede to the request to recuse myself,” she told lawyers yesterday in the Port-of-Spain First Magistrates’ Court.
She set the matter to October 15, two weeks after the Panday matter comes up before the Privy Council “out of an abundance of caution.”
Now think carefully and ask some questions here kiddo.
Why the fock Manning in haste to run the CJ out of office ?
Asshole, so he could strategically place certain Magistrates and Judges to hear certain matters. And that is why the put the PNM Roger Hamel Smith to act as CJ.
Also note that both the prosecution and defence requested that she recused herself... but apparently she have she own agenda.

Israel Khan to Ugandan president:
BY FAINE RICHARDS
SENIOR COUNSEL Israel Khan is hoping that visiting Ugandan President Youweri Museveni would apologise for past atrocities committed against Indians in Uganda.
In a telephone interview yesterday following a news release Khan “politely” called on Museveni to deliver a public apology for “brutality” against Indians in Uganda under former president Idi Amin Dada.
Museveni arrived in T&T yesterday for a three-day visit. He was scheduled to deliver the keynote address at a dinner hosted by the National Association for the Empowerment of African People at the Centre of Excellence, Macoya, last night.
Khan was hoping Museveni would devote a portion of his address to reiterating similar apologies he made to the Indian Diaspora in Canada and England.
Khan believes the apology is fitting in light of efforts to develop diplomatic ties between T&T and Uganda.
Referring to the request from Uganda’s Foreign Affairs Minister Sam Jutesa for T&T’s oil and gas expertise, Khan said: “I observe that the present president of Uganda is coming to our country seeking assistance as to how to manage his oil and gas.”
“When he (Museveni) arrives here, he will see how East Indians and Africans live side by side in a peaceful manner. This is a model country for him,” Khan said.
Recalling former president Amin’s statement that Indians were “bloodsuckers,” Khan said Amin expelled Indians from Uganda, and confiscated their properties.
Khan said Museveni previously invited the descendants of those expelled to return to Uganda and resettle their family’s property.
“He (Museveni) wants to have ties with our country and he is not to be blamed for what Idi Amin did,” Khan said.
Why the fock Israel Khan doh apologise to the fockin lawyers "south of the caroni bridge?"
Who the fock he tryin to impress ? NEAAP and fockin Selwyn Cudjoe?
Fockin ass licker. Cont, the Indians Idi expel were from India and it should be left up to the fockin government of India to demand an apology. Not ah fockin low class chamar like you
Anyhow, you ha to lick Manning bamcee and all the shit off it to get some brief from the State.
I pity you.
