Caustic
can be looked upon as a chemical that is flesh destroying, or a man
with the same qualities as the chemical.

One of
the very worst things that can happen to a woman, a young boy, or a
child is to be raped. Rape in a particular island in the Caribbean
seems to be part of the culture, and cannot be blamed on just the
black man as so many try and do. Yes, black men rape, so do white
men.

In a
predominantly white society it is mainly white men who rape, and vice
versa in a black society.

But how
do you feel about a white man committing mass rape, molestation, and
assault against innocent black girls and women?

Rapists
can come from all walks of life, doctors, religious leaders,
politicians, and just simple people you can see all around you every
day. I suppose the worst is when it comes from someone you know and
trust, a member of your family, your priest or pastor, or prime
minister.

One set
of islanders have had their name sullied by a political leader who
has been charged with rape and other sexual actions. Accusations so
numerous they go back forty years. A man who has been accused of
sexual molestation and assault by not one or two women, but dozens,
and perhaps there are a hundred more waiting to lodge a complaint
against him. A man that, if you put his name in an internet search
engine followed by the word rape, will generate more than
thirty-eight thousand pages. Try it right now for yourselves, first
and second name then a comer, and the word rape, press enter. Wow!
What did I tell you, bingo. There are stories, foreign newspaper
reports, videos, and YouTube contributors, it will take you weeks if
you read and look at everything. Not written by me but hundreds of
other people.

You may
think under the circumstances such a person would have been dealt
with by the law many years ago. Yet during the last twenty years he
has never been interviewed by the police, never appeared in a court
of law to face his accusers. How is that possible I hear you all
asking, how in God’s name is that possible?

Because
he has such a control over the police and judiciary and has made laws
to protect himself from prosecution for his vile acts, he has become
invincible, untouchable. 

He once
compared himself to Christ and said when he is out walking; people
want to touch his robes, his cuffs, his hems, even his feet.

So how
come people vote for him? Because he is a walking piggy bank,
dropping a coin here, and little envelopes with a $50, here and
there. He gives out contracts to his friends, gives gifts to those
that vote for him. Even gives out prime, top-paying jobs in
government-owned corporations to the upper echelon inside and outside
of his regime, and those favored by him. To the very top supporters
he recommends Knighthoods from the Queen. Then before every election,
gives away $20 million, perhaps double or more in building materials
to villagers for whole villages to vote for him. He is a walking
money tree to a people of which the majority has absolutely nothing.
And that is the sweet side of him; woes betide anyone who would dare
cross him or not support him, even worse anyone that openly changes
sides and supports someone else. He will ensure that person, their
family, their extended family, and also close friends, are destroyed
financially, lose their jobs, and remain unemployed forever. The
numerous islanders that had to take refuge abroad are an indication
of just how bad he is.

Some
people on the islands may know someone who has been sexually molested
by a leader, school girls who want to buy school books or want to get
scholarships, women who want food to feed their children and babies,
even women who wish to hold political or business meetings with him.

I hear
you ask, how can a man remain in society without someone dealing with
him because if the police and the judiciary cannot, someone
inevitably will? He surrounds himself with armed plainclothes police
bodyguards, eighty of them allows for shifts to be scheduled. He is
never without armed protection. He ensures that the police, director
of public prosecutions, and judiciary are selected by him and
therefore owe him a favor, even paying them a stipend for his
privileged protection from the laws they are sworn to uphold. He
picks people from his political party who, without his support, will
never reach the top in their chosen professions, they owe him, and he
reaps that harvest whenever and as frequently as he wants.

He has
become such a bullying menace to journalists that the news media,
online or printed, are either in his pay, on his favor list, or have
been terrorized by him and are frightened to report the truth.
Newspaper owners and editors, online media owners and editors, stay
quiet if they want to remain in business, often scared to ask a
pertinent question, never daring to ask about his accusers of rape
and sexual molestation. The media is so frightened of him that they
are no longer serving the best interests of the people; they are now
an encouraging force for him to continue in his filth. 

There is
so much more I can write here, but I think that is enough for you all
to digest for now. Except perhaps the following!

A
message from one of the victims

“So
many years past being raped, I tell myself what happened is 'in the
past.' This is only partly true. In too many ways, the past is still
with me. The past is written on my body. I carry it every single day.
The past sometimes feels like it might kill me. It is a very heavy
burden.”

And from
another

“I am
now forty, I was only fifteen when he violently raped me, and left me
with my clothes in tatters.”

And yet
another

“I am
a lawyer; one would think that would be enough to deter him raping
me, but apparently not.”

I am sure the confusion will arise in your minds after reading the above that this behavior may apply to several Caribbean leaders.......

How many do you think it fits?
