OPINION: Is Jomo Thomas in grave danger?

By Nathan 'Jolly' Green Late February 2020
The
ULP have gone into top gear in an attempt silence Jomo Thomas. “If
Jomo goes back to South Leaward the people will stone him on the
platform.”
At the funeral of the assassinated Glen Jackson, press secretary and personal aide of Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves of SVG, the following song was sung. One must question the relevance of words of the chosen song. Not Glen’s choice, but Julian’s.

Glen
Jackson had booked a studio for the following Monday at the T.V.
station, telling friends he was going to expose something big about
ULP and someone. Was he about to publicly leave the ULP family? Which
we now know no one is allowed to do. Did that lead to his death? On
the Saturday before his Monday studio appointment, he was shot by a
person or persons unknown, stripped of his clothes, and his body was
washed down and placed nude into his vehicle. Not just his body, even
the car had been carefully cleaned inside to eliminate any forensic
evidence. Who informed on Jackson about his Monday appointment, and
who did they tell? Someone must have that information.
The
politically motivated police, accused, and charged a little timid,
frail gay boy of killing Jackson, he was one of Jacksons known close
friends. Most people knew that one little boy could never have shot
Jackson, stripped him of his clothes, washed the body, carried it
outside into the street, and then placed Jackson’s body into his
carefully sanitized car. That took a crew of people, certainly not
less than two big strong men, even perhaps three or four. Yes, an
assassination squad, not an incapable single little boy.
Francis
Williams accused of killing the St. Vincent Prime Minister’s Press
Secretary, Glen Jackson, was acquitted of murder charges against
him.
Francis
Williams was reportedly charged, following the death of Mr. Jackson
by a single gunshot to the chest in March 2006.
Justice
Bruce Lyle ruled that investigators had not followed the proper
procedure and that a confession obtained by the police from Williams
was inadmissible.
High
Court Judge Frederick Bruce-Lyle ruled that the prosecution could not
include as evidence an oral confession received from Williams during
the course of the investigation.
Bruce-Lyle
also ruled that the manner in which the alleged confession was
obtained breached several chapters of the Police Act.
He noted
that the police officers in the investigation failed to properly
record the confession and said they had conducted an awful
investigation.
Peter
Binose, with his in-depth research, who often saw into the future and
who was able to work things out where others just thrashed around and
came to no conclusions. Binose wrote the following.
Binose
wrote, “rumors also say that shortly before his death, Jackson had
a massive argument with one of the top ULP people. Did that happen?
If it did, who did he have a falling out with? A top party member? A
minister? A senator? Who? About what? Were Jacksons phone calls and
emails recorded? If so, on whose instructions? ”
Now I do
not have the intuition or insight that Binose had, but I think I can
see some clear pointers that Jomo Thomas may be in great danger from
the assassination squad.
There
have been what I believe are veiled threats to Jomo Thomas, talk of
him being dead, politically. Talks of him being stoned if he appeared
on a public or political platform.
Jomo may
have made two moves conceived as deserving the death squad, deserving
of being stoned. He left the ULP family, and he has been talking
about what they have been doing, which he alleges are illegal.
Jomo,
can I ask you a question? Do you think there is any link between
Ralph Gonsalves stating he is here to complete the work of Maurice
Bishop, and the alleged financial irregularities currently voiced by
you?
This is
part of Bishops well documented unfinished work -
“Comrade
Maurice Bishop suggested that we use the Suriname and Cuban
experience in keeping two sets of records in the banks for this
purpose.”
Later in
the same meeting -
“Comrades
again highlighted the urgent importance of training Comrades to
adjust the banking figures. Someone should be sent to Cuba or the
Soviet Union.”
And
again -
“The
comrades from Nicaragua and Cuba must-visit Grenada to train Comrades
in the re-adjustment of the books.”

Jomo,
you may be in grave danger, have you paid all your taxes up to date,
are you a danger to anyone in the ULP hierarchy? Are you a danger to
the ULP becoming the government at the next election.
If the
answer to all my questions is yes, I would ask you to carry on the
excellent work and expose all you know.
But in
the real world, I recommend you pack your bags and run for your life.
I
remember when Julian once spoke of releasing “the ULP dogs,” and
now the use of words by leading politicians such as ‘stoning’ and
“dead politically” may be seen by some of those dogs as a coded
message to attack Jomo. Or perhaps much worse than that those words
may incite violence against Jomo. Is the use of such terms a criminal
act in themselves? Of course, in a healthy democratic society, the
police would investigate such utterances, can we expect that in SVG?
I doubt it very much.
Those
that know Jomo Thomas will know he has the artfulness of a fox and
the savagery of a ferret. Can we expect Jomo to continue his blitz on
those that are seeking revenge against him, and to stand as an
independent in the Comrades constituency? Or will he resurrect his
party again and stand a whole lot of candidates in the ULP
constituencies.
Just
take care Jomo, better care than Glen Jackson, Edgar Cruikshank,
Peter Dennie, Cecil Boatswain, Mr. Joslyn ‘The Servant of the
Lord’, Ewart “Ells” King, Edwardo Lynch.
There
are now others; it needs updating.
I would not like to add your name to the list Jomo.
