Pinnacle Security's "Securing Hope" Initiative Sends Volunteer Team to Belize
Security Company Partners With Domes for Belize to Construct Disaster-Proof Homes
OREM, UT, Nov 29, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Pinnacle Security, a leader in the North American residential security market, recently completed a week-long home-building project in Belize as part of the company's philanthropic initiative, "Securing Hope." A group of 27 Pinnacle representatives spent one week in November building eco-domes for families in Belize through the nonprofit organization Domes for Belize.
Volunteers including Pinnacle representatives and their family members, as well as supporters of Domes for Belize, raised funds and participated in the construction of disaster-proof housing for families in Belize. The dome-shaped construction of the homes allows them to withstand natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes.
"As part of our Securing Hope initiative, Pinnacle sets up humanitarian opportunities as often as possible, many times partnering with organizations like Domes for Belize to make the most significant impact we can," said Stuart Dean, vice president of corporate communications for Pinnacle Security. "Service is an integral part of our company DNA and that desire and commitment to help is part of what makes up a Pinnacle representative. This trip to Belize is one example of our commitment as a company to a culture of service."
Funding for the Domes for Belize project came from a charity run organized by Pinnacle, as well as additional contributions from Pinnacle associates. Pinnacle sponsored its Third Annual Charity Run with events in October and November, raising tens of thousands of dollars for both Domes for Belize and Beyond Borders. Additionally, Pinnacle representatives who desired to build the homes in Belize donated commission from four to five sales to provide additional funding.
"Families were able to move into the homes as soon as they were finished which just takes a few days," said Scott Warner, a regional vice president for Pinnacle Security. "It was an amazing experience to build safe homes and create an immediate positive impact for these families. Our entire group was so pleased to be a part of it."
In addition to building dome homes, the Pinnacle volunteers painted a local school and donated boxes of groceries to nearby families. The team completed one dome home and began construction on two others. Warner plans to return to Belize next year to build multiple homes for several families in Belize.

UDP GOVERNMENT LOSES 2 POINTS, PERFORMANCE RATING DROPS TO 3%

UDP GOVERNMENT LOSE 2 POINTS FOR BUREAUCRATIC CORRUPTION

NEW SCORE FOR UDP GOVERNMENT DROPS TO 3%

Two points lost over bureaucratic criminality and their getting away with it. The managment controls lie with the UDP Cabinet, as also the punishments and prosecution if any. A government cannot prosecute citizens for violations, if the bureaucrats get away with shoddy, or illegal work.

Belize Channel 7 TV, gets KUDOS for reporting on bureaucratic rice scam!

Uruguayan import rice scam, EXPOSED by Channel 7 tv investigative reports. Job well done!
CHANNEL 7 TV CONTINUES TO DO A GOOD JOB OF INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING. KEEPING OUR POLITICIANS AND BUREAUCRATS IN LINE.

Since last week news has been breaking about the presence of Uruguayan rice on the local market for sale at retail outlets in Orange Walk - and almost 20% cheaper than the abundant Belizean rice.

All fingers pointed to the Belize Marketing Development Corporation, because, plainly, rice from Uruguay was not Mexican contraband. But they empathically denied giving any such permission, so the question lingered, where was the rice coming from, and how much of it was on the market?

Well this evening - in fact, just about an hour ago - BAHA, the Belize Agricultural Health Authority sent out a sheepish press release saying they did it.

But, they say they didn't do it to undermine local imports, it was for charity - how it ended up in a Chinese grocery store in Orange Walk is another story, the answer for which you'd have to look up under the letter H for hustling. But, before we get to that, back to the setup: how it was imported into the country.

On fifth November, BAHA received an application submitted by a charitable foundation called "A Hand to The Needy", which gave its address as Price Barracks, Ladyville - which is BDF Headquarters. When we called the BDF, they said that is an outfit run by NEMO - and the BDF only provides the warehouse. The permit was for the importation of 960 bags of long grain broken white rice donated by Food For The Poor - a charitable foundation in Florida.

According to BAHA, the donation was to support poverty alleviation efforts and school feeding programs countrywide. So, the rice was to be imported as a donation solely for charitable purposes. But somehow, it has turned up at retail outlets in Orange Walk - being sold far cheaper than Belizean rice.

This is wrong on so many levels, that it's hard to quantify them all. But 960 totals 9,700 pounds of rice - which may sound like a lot - but it is an insignificant number considering Belizeans consume 260 thousand pounds of rice a week. And certainly, it offers no explanation as to why rice producers say their sales are down sharply, as much as 20%.

So far, Orange Walk Customs has confiscated six sacks of the Uruguayan rice from a local retailer. And so, the licensed importation of Uruguayan rice raises many questions: first who allowed it unto the market? Which is another way of saying, who took it from the poor, for whom it was designated? Second, did the relevant authorities get a CARICOM waiver to import rice from outside the region, which is strictly prohibited under trade rules Belize must adhere to. We hope to have answers to these questions tomorrow.

In other rice-related news, Cabinet has announced relief for the long-deprived Rice farmers of the South. The BMDC paid Toledo rice farmers $40,000 last week, and they will receive $200,000 this week, with another $100,000 to be disbursed next week.

Central Government’s Cabinet release on land use policy

Cabinet, during a regular session today, was informed that forty thousand dollars was disbursed to rice formers in Toledo last week by the Belize Marketing and Development Corporation. Another two hundred thousand dollars will be paid out this week followed by a hundred thousand next week as part payment for the current rice crop. It also endorsed the National Land Use Policy and Integrated Planning Framework, a course of action put together by the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment through the Forestry Department. Finally, it approved the distribution of two acres of land within the Ministry of Works compound in Belmopan to be used as the site for a new Bureau of Standards building that will house a metrology lab and office space.

Comment: I don´t believe a darned thing about the Forestry Department! That is hot air and baloney. They are incompetent, or corrupt in my opinion.

Romance in Western Belize honeymoon and raves for ATM trip

Romance in Belize's Jungles & Beaches
Sebastian & Julianne's Belize Honeymoon

My wife and I chose Belize for our honeymoon because of all it has to offer: beaches, scuba diving, fishing, archaeology and wildlife. We started in San Ignacio Town (Cayo District), where we toured the Maya pyramids of Caracol, swam at Big Rock Waterfall, explored Rio Frio Cave and spelunked the ATM Cave (our favorite). Our archaeological guide Sergio Paiz and ATM Cave guide Carlos Panti were very knowledgeable and friendly. Our hotel in San Ignacio, Martha’s Guesthouse, was very comfortable and a great value.

Then we jumped on a boat with Captain Fermin, who took us to the quiet and remote coral island of Tobacco Caye... Read More

ANNOYING HABIT OF CORRUPTION IN MEXICO, ALL OVER!

The Mordida corruption in Mexico for service by government salaried workers.

"Robert Lopez, VIP’s Chairman
This weekend, my family and I traveled to Chetumal. Certainly like every other Belizean we went there to enjoy their hospitality and the shopping and their entertainment. Upon reaching the border, on the Mexican side there were long lines and there were at least two to three-hundred of us and the line was wrapped around the building. I noticed that there were two security guards and a group of Belizeans gathered around them. So I said let me find out what that is about. So I walked up to them and I asked the security guard what was going on. He said, ‘Well for ten dollars, I can get your passport stamped and you won’t have to stand in line.’ He continued by saying that ‘The ten dollars is for the immigration officer and you’ll need to give me something for my services,” I guess as a courier to go in. I watched him take bundles of passport, because he didn’t do them one at a time, he did them in fives and even tens at ten dollars apiece. I saw people pull out their money and as we got closer where we could have seen inside the building through the glass, I saw these security officers giving the immigration officers the money and then these Belizeans did not have to stand in line."

RUMORS REACH THE WEST, OF A BUSINESS CONFERENCE IN THE EASTERN PORT OF BELIZE CITY BY PRIME MINISTER OF BELIZE.

RUMOR MILL HAS IT PRIME MINISTER, DEAN BARROW HELD A BUSINESS CONFERENCE IN THE PORT OF BELIZE CITY, DOWN ON THE EAST, CENTRAL COAST OF THE COUNTRY.

Unconfirmed highlights of this port town conference for the business pèople of the port town, were that the Government is spending $50,000 a week, in make work programs, for the street gang types in the city, to deter them away from crime.
Mentioned also; was the drive to improve GST tax collections from businesses. We have noted in the news recently that there are more examples being made of business people who have not paid their GST tax collected, or spent it on their own activities. They are being prosecuted in court.

Also we heard that the DFC ( Development Finance Corporation ) of Belmopan, the capital of Belize in the center of the country, is to be changed to a NATIONAL,COMMERCIAL, LENDING BANK.

There is also a move afoot to legislate a CAP on allowable interest rates that can be charged in Belize.

UDP Government gets 3 points on Report Card approval rating. NEW BELIZE GOVERNMENT RATING IS 5%.

To the NORTH in central Belize, our neighbor Orange Walk town, their district capital got three new classrooms. We are awarding 3 points to the UDP government report card for this. The ITVET is modeled along the USA Community College system. Not as big of course, but impacts youth tremendously in the careers for which there is enough students to make a class pay. The ITVET system needs all the financial help they can get, they do very worthwhile work. Their is an ITVET ( fledgling Community College, USA style) in each of the six district capitals ( six of them around the small nation ).





Armando Gomez, Manager, OW ITVET

“We had an inauguration this morning whereby we inaugurated a triple classroom space, this is a project that we ventured in since the beginning of the school year in January and we worked at it through fund raising and also part of the construction was assisted by the government, the ministry of education, that classroom space we are already using it because like I said we really needed it, it is a state of the art classroom space whereby we have air-conditioned in it and fans so that the students could be learning in comfort, so that building was a big accomplishment for this new year and hence the reason why we had to do an inauguration for it.”

Re-enactment financing of Mayan temple pyramid in Belize sacrifice.

Wendy´s post on the Greek temples and tourism numbers is a wake up call for Belize.

For decades I have put on the listserve, that we require a re-enactment, during the tourist high seasons, at Cahel Pech, 3500 year old, Mayan pyramid temple.

I´ve seen these both in the U.K. also in Canada, and in the USA. They are stupendous tourist affairs. Well worth seeing. I loved them and was very impressed.

I have no idea, how to go about finding the financing for such re-enactments to be held at Cahel Pech, Mayan pyramid. You would have to hire probably 200 people for 12 weeks, have costumes made, do rehearsals, all for a six week season in the winter and another six weeks in the summer. Perhaps in Easter for three weeks also.
I would imagine you could charge an admission as CAHEL PECH is fenced.

Just for the six week winter season on a daily basis, the cost would run $604,800 in salaries. Costumes would run another $30,000. Though they would be reusable for other performances.

Many times, I´ve run the fiscal scenario done by myself, since I could not get any interest locally for financing. Certainly I cannot afford such a thing. These are conservative cost estimates for a working budget. It would take several years, to become a classic tourist draw. So you could expect say, a deficit for around three years. The boost to Belize tourism would be exponential and out of sight.

Caye Caulker gal views on Belize tourism and the Greek Acropolis in Athens.

Dear Editor: ( Amandala newspaper )

I had the good fortune to visit the Acropolis in Athens, Greece last week, and was stunned at just how much tourism revenue this one archeological site generates. The Parthenon in the Acropolis is easily one of the most famous and identifiable structures in the world.

The great Sphinx of Egypt, the Colosseum of Rome, Stonehenge in England, and the Great Wall of China are ALSO on the list of easily identifiable structures. People who have never set foot at any of those places can still point them out to you in pictures. The mere mention of their names conjures up glorious images of grand civilizations rich with stories of fascinating kings and kingdoms, mythical and mystical heroes, amazing gods and goddesses, brave warriors and their captives, impressive art and culture, and yes, incredible architecture that defies our wildest imaginations.

In short, archeological tourism sells .. BIG time!

Wendy Auxillou in GREECE, Fall, 2011 on assignment in Thessaloniki. ( Looks darned cold in Greece. Not for me mon! Give me Belize any day! The land of eternal Spring !)

Belize is a nation covered from north to south, east to west with ancient Mayan sites. We are sitting on a veritable tourism gold mine. The Popul Vuh, sacred book of the ancient Maya, sizzles with the story of how Itzamna created the Mayas, and then taught them how to raise maize, how to write, how to keep a calendar, and how to heal people. For all the right reasons, ancient Mayan history, culture, and civilization, should be at the forefront of our tourism strategy. Our Mayan history is no less fascinating or jaw-dropping than Greek, Chinese or Roman history. They just market theirs better. And we do nothing to tap into this gold mine.

If you type the words "ancient Greece" into Google, you get tens of millions of responses. Yet, if you Google "ancient Maya Belize", there are less than half a million results. If we want to increase tourism in any substantial way, we need to do a complete paradigm shift in the way we market Belize. We need to become "Belize: Homeland of the Ancient Maya" and get rid of that failed marketing slogan "Mother Nature's Best Kept Secret". At the very least, a good start would be to once and for all declare a MAYAN DAY.

Of course, with this racist, anti-Mayan government in place loaded with principals who prefer to pretend that we don't have Mayas in Belize, or if we do, that they are not "real", or if they are real, that they are not human, such a suggestion is like swimming upstream?. But at least the suggestion deserves mention and some contemplation. So there it is, my 2 cents worth...for all its worth.

Sincerely,
Wendy Auxillou

CHIEF FORESTRY OFFICER LABELED A LIAR IN BELIZE!

Cabinet Minister, politician Gaspar Vega, the boss of Marcello Windsor, Chief Forest Officer.
Proven liar, Marcello Windsor, Chief Forestry Officer.


More than a week has passed since the infamous video by local cable tv stations with Chief Forest Officer, Marcello Windsor. The man turned out to be a liar and a fraud. The investigative media reported that the FOREST DEPARTMENT are shrouded in a veil of secrecy regarding the promises made by Chief Forest Officer, Marcello Windsor, the week before. All attempts to get a list of the permit holders for ROSEWOOD failed, by repeated visits to the Forestry Department. All the promises of cooperation, accountability and transparency, met with a BRICK WALL.

As former Prime Minister Said Musa is often quoted when he commented on his corruption scandals. "It will all blow over like a lee breeze!" In this case this is Prime Minister, UDP, Dean Barrow´s corruption scandal, or one of them. Implicated by inference is Marcello Windsor´s boss, Cabinet Minister Gaspar Vega.

Cross border ( Guatemala and Belize students ) end 6 month cultural exchange program.

Hundreds of Belizeans and Guatemalans Storm Border for fun

For the past six months Belizean and Guatemalan students have been working side by side, learning art and music in a cultural exchange program. The initiative to bring together youths from both sides of the border who share common interests, is a part of the Confidence Building Measures implemented by the Organization of American States (OAS). Today, the official closing ceremony was held at the adjacency zone where an art exhibit and cultural display showcased the work of the participants. News Five’s Delahnie Bain headed to the border for this morning’s event.

Delahnie Bain, Reporting

These past 8 years, Belize and Guatemala are acting like ONE COUNTRY, as part of the Mayan Empire. Today the two countries came together to “Promote a Culture of Peace”. That was the goal of the art and culture course that culminated at the OAS Adjacency Zone.

Magdalena Talamas

Magdalena Talamas, Chief of Peace Fund, Secretariat for Political Affairs, OAS

“This is the closure of the culture of peace program in the agency zone. It’s a program that started six months ago and that consists of music, art workshops where approximately three hundred students have participated and today they are showing us the results of what they have accomplished, which goes far beyond having learned or perfected an artistic skill. They have shown us what it truly means to be a good neighbor and we’re very proud of the students and what they’ve done here today.”

The participants put on a grand display, showing off the new talents they developed in the program.

Magdalena Talamas

“We have both art workshops; we have their paintings that are displayed today. We also have the bands and the students playing the instruments that they have learned, guitar and piano and song.”

{Highlights of music and art…}

Magdalena Talamas of the OAS says the program is one of the most successful in their many efforts to keep the peace along the Belize/Guatemala border.

Magdalena Talamas

“The project is open to all the communities in the adjacency zone and we were expecting a registration of approximately a hundred and fifty but it was so successful that we had three hundred students register and we made our best efforts to accommodate them and we’re very happy that we were able to do so. I think it’s one of the most successful projects because these students are representing, they’re showing us that it’s much more than hope for the future. They are showing us that that dream is actually a reality; sitting side by side, persons and young people from two different countries speaking two different languages have planted the seed of peace in the adjacency zone and I’m extremely proud to be a part of this program.”

Unfortunately, because of financial reasons, there is no guarantee that the program will be an annual feature.

Magdalena Talamas

“We didn’t have it last year, unfortunately. We had it in 2009 and we depend on external funding. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the governments of Canada and of Spain who have made generous contributions to the Belize/Guatemala sub-fund of the Peace Fund and who have made this project possible and we hope to be able to count on their support on the future so we can continue this very important project.”

Delahnie Bain for News Five.

The six months of classes were provided free of cost of the students.

Belize MAYAN SCHOLARS CONTEMPLATE MEANING OF HYROGLYPH FOUND ON FRINGES OF THE MAYAN EMPIRE for 2012 cyclical history reference.

Xunantanich Mayan temple, capital of the post classic more modern Mayan Empire built about 1200 years ago and abandoned around 900 AD. The two Mayan temples are favorites of exploring tourists in things Mayan and well maintained by the Government of Belize, in their remoteness. Xunantunich and Cahel Pech are about 8 miles apart and the former overlooks the Mopan River, the earlier city state capital of Cahel Pech, overlooks the Macal River. The two river join together in the TWIN TOWNS of Santa Elena and San Ignacio and form one river, nowadays called the Belize River which flows 200 miles to the Caribbean sea. It is today, the site of a WORLD CLASS canoe race over three days, from the Western TWIN TOWNS to the Caribbean sea port of Belize City. The race is held in March each year and immensely popular.
Cahel Pech, the capital of the MAYAN CITY STATE found in Western Belize is pre-classic and was built about 3,500 years ago, long before either the Roman Empire existed, or even the Greeks and Minoans. The ruins are found in an archeological preserve in the suburbs of the TWIN TOWNS of Western Belize, Cayo District.

BELIZE MAYAN STUDIES CONTEMPLATE HYROGYLPHS MEANING, FOUND ON THE FRINGES OF THE MAYAN EMPIRE IN MEXICO.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico's archaeology institute downplays theories that the ancient Mayas predicted some sort of apocalypse would occur in 2012, but on Thursday it acknowledged that a second reference to the date exists on a carved fragment found at a southern Mexico ruin site.
Most experts had cited only one surviving reference to the date in Mayan glyphs, a stone tablet from the Tortuguero site in the Gulf coast state of Tabasco.
But the National Institute of Anthropology and History said in a statement that there is in fact another apparent reference to the date at the nearby Comalcalco ruin. The inscription is on the carved or molded face of a brick. Comalcalco is unusual amongMayan temples in that it was constructed of bricks.

Comalcalco Mayan ruins of city state.



Arturo Mendez, a spokesman for the institute, said the fragment of inscription had been discovered years ago and has been subject to thorough study. It is not on display and is being kept in storage at the institute.
The "Comalcalco Brick," as the second fragment is known, has been discussed by experts in some online forums. Many still doubt that it is a definite reference to Dec. 21, 2012 or Dec. 23, 2012, the dates cited by proponents of the theory as the possible end of the world.
"Some have proposed it as another reference to 2012, but I remain rather unconvinced," David Stuart, a specialist in Mayan epigraphy at the University of Texas at Austin, said in a message to The Associated Press.
Stuart said the date inscribed on the brick "'is a Calendar Round,' a combination of a day and month position that will repeat every 52 years."
The brick date does coincide with the end of the 13th Baktun; Baktuns were roughly 394-year periods and 13 was a significant, sacred number for the Mayas. The Mayan Long Count calendar begins in 3114 B.C., and the 13th Baktun ends around Dec. 21, 2012.
But the date on the brick could also correspond to similar dates in the past, Stuart said.
"There's no reason it couldn't be also a date in ancient times, describing some important historical event in the Classic period. In fact, the third glyph on the brick seems to read as the verb huli, "he/she/it arrives."
"There's no future tense marking (unlike the Tortuguero phrase), which in my mind points more to the Comalcalco date being more historical that prophetic," Stuart wrote.
Both inscriptions — the Tortuguero tablet and the Comalcalco brick — were probably carved about 1,300 years ago and both are cryptic in some ways.
The Tortuguero inscription describes something that is supposed to occur in 2012 involving Bolon Yokte, a mysterious Mayan god associated with both war and creation.
However, erosion and a crack in the stone make the end of the passage almost illegible, though some read the last eroded glyphs as perhaps saying, "He will descend from the sky."
The Comalcalco brick is also odd in that the molded or inscribed faces of the bricks were probably laid facing inward or covered with stucco, suggesting they were not meant to be seen.
The Institute of Anthropology and History has long said rumors of a world-ending or world-changing event in late December 2012 are a Westernized misinterpretation of Mayan calendars.
The institute repeated Thursday that "western messianic thought has twisted the cosmovision of ancient civilizations like the Maya."
The institute's experts say the Mayas saw time as a series of cycles that began and ended with regularity, but with nothing apocalyptic at the end of a given cycle.
Given the strength of Internet rumors about impending disaster in 2012, the institute is organizing a special round table of 60 Mayan experts next week at the archaeological site of Palenque, in southern Mexico, to "dispel some of the doubts about the end of one era and the beginning of another, in the Mayan Long Count calendar."

The inscription is on the carved or molded face of a brick. Comalcalco is unusual amongMayan temples in that it was constructed of bricks.
Arturo Mendez, a spokesman for the institute, said the fragment of inscription had been discovered years ago and has been subject to thorough study. It is not on display and is being kept in storage at the institute.
The "Comalcalco Brick," as the second fragment is known, has been discussed by experts in some online forums. Many still doubt that it is a definite reference to Dec. 21, 2012 or Dec. 23, 2012, the dates cited by proponents of the theory as the possible end of the world.
"Some have proposed it as another reference to 2012, but I remain rather unconvinced," David Stuart, a specialist in Mayan epigraphy at the University of Texas at Austin, said in a message to The Associated Press.
Stuart said the date inscribed on the brick "'is a Calendar Round,' a combination of a day and month position that will repeat every 52 years."
The brick date does coincide with the end of the 13th Baktun; Baktuns were roughly 394-year periods and 13 was a significant, sacred number for the Mayas. The Mayan Long Count calendar begins in 3114 B.C., and the 13th Baktun ends around Dec. 21, 2012.
But the date on the brick could also correspond to similar dates in the past, Stuart said.
"There's no reason it couldn't be also a date in ancient times, describing some important historical event in the Classic period. In fact, the third glyph on the brick seems to read as the verb huli, "he/she/it arrives."
"There's no future tense marking (unlike the Tortuguero phrase), which in my mind points more to the Comalcalco date being more historical that prophetic," Stuart wrote.
Both inscriptions — the Tortuguero tablet and the Comalcalco brick — were probably carved about 1,300 years ago and both are cryptic in some ways.
The Tortuguero inscription describes something that is supposed to occur in 2012 involving Bolon Yokte, a mysterious Mayan god associated with both war and creation.
However, erosion and a crack in the stone make the end of the passage almost illegible, though some read the last eroded glyphs as perhaps saying, "He will descend from the sky."
The Comalcalco brick is also odd in that the molded or inscribed faces of the bricks were probably laid facing inward or covered with stucco, suggesting they were not meant to be seen.
The Institute of Anthropology and History has long said rumors of a world-ending or world-changing event in late December 2012 are a Westernized misinterpretation of Mayan calendars.
The institute repeated Thursday that "western messianic thought has twisted the cosmovision of ancient civilizations like the Maya."
The institute's experts say the Mayas saw time as a series of cycles that began and ended with regularity, but with nothing apocalyptic at the end of a given cycle.
Given the strength of Internet rumors about impending disaster in 2012, the institute is organizing a special round table of 60 Mayan experts next week at the archaeological site of Palenque, in southern Mexico, to "dispel some of the doubts about the end of one era and the beginning of another, in the Mayan Long Count calendar."

Belize Government Defies Supreme Court Ruling; Grants Oil Company Permit to Maya lands PDF Print E-mail
Written by Intercontinental Cry
Wednesday, 23 November 2011 11:14
Source: Intercontinental Cry
The government of Belize has quietly granted an American oil company drilling rights to protected Maya lands inside the Sarstoon Temash National Park (STNP) in the Toledo District of southern Belize. The surreptitious move is in defiance of an historic Supreme Court ruling that confirmed Belize's obligation to adhere to the international standard of informed consent, says the Sarstoon Temash Institute for Indigenous Management (SATIIM).
SATIIM, a community-based indigenous environmental organization that co-manages the STNP, found out that Belize had granted a permit to US Capital Energy only after it learned that the company had suddenly returned to the protected lands.
The company isn't wasting any time, says SATIIM. "A truck equipped for seismic drilling has already arrived along with a drill-ready tractor. Trees were cut for two seismic lines in Sunday Wood village, with rumors of plans to cut more in the village of Crique Sarco."
SATIIM points out with great concern that the government failed to inform them--or anyone else--that a drilling permit had been issued, adding:

This is merely the latest 'surprise' in a shameful history of secrecy that began one morning in 1997. Five Indigenous communities in Southern Belize woke up to learn that the government had declared their ancestral land a national park in 1994. Ever since, these communities have struggled to defend their land at every turn.
Notably, in 2006 they won a temporary injunction against seismic testing in this protected area, where an entirely new ecosystem was recently discovered. Another ruling from the Supreme Court confirmed Maya rights to land and resources and Belize’s obligation to conform to international standards of informed consent established when it signed the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) in 2007.
Nonetheless, the government has kept all dealings with US Capital Energy secret. SATIIM asked for information in several letters to the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and Chief Forest Officer. The government has ignored each one.

SATIIM is now demanding that the government respect: 1) the rule of law; 2) environmental justice; 3) economic equality; and 4) its obligations under UNDRIP and legal rulings by Belize's highest courts.
Most of all, SATIIM is demanding an end to the government secrecy surrounding US Capital Energy's new operations in southern Belize.
SATIIM and the Indigenous communities have also agreed to use "any means necessary" to make the government and the oil company comply with national and international law.

SEISMIC WORK FOR OIL PONDS CONTINUES IN NORTHERN BELIZE

SEISMIC TESTING for OIL, STILL GOING STRONG IN NORTHWESTERN BELIZE POCKET, NEAR THE PETEN FORMATIONS OF GUATEMALA.

The seismic work is in it´s 5th month now and other lines have yet to be done! Progress is slow but steady.

Treaty Energy Corp, the OIL COMPANY drilling in Belize stays optimistic.

Belize flag.

TREATY ENERGY THE OIL DRILLING COMPANY JUST BECOMING ACTIVE DOWN SOUTH, ARE ASSUMING THEY CAN PRODUCE 5000 BARRELS OF OIL A DAY EVENTUALLY.

At the moment, Treaty Energy, produce nothing but hot air, but activity on the ground and seismic activity are producing lots of investment propoganda and indeed, may eventually produce a working producing oil company in Belize. We still have to wait and see. All oil drilling is a gamble!

Somebody sent me an email, with this New Orleans release. Thought it was interesting. Something from the timespicayne, whatever that is?

New Orleans has a new publicly traded company: Orpheum Property Inc., which owns the city's unrepaired beaux arts theater, the Orpheum, and trades on the unregulated over-the-counter stock market.
orpheum.jpgThe Times-Picayune

On Monday, theater owner Andrew Reid put the finishing touches on a deal with a defunct but publicly held Hawaiian coffee company, Pacific Land and Coffee Corp. Pacific Land and Coffee purchased the assets of Reid's company, 129 University Place LLC, in late June, and Reid took over management of Pacific Land and Coffee. Since the idle, flood-damaged 1921 building is the company's only asset, Reid said he changed the company's name to Orpheum Property Inc. on Monday and moved the headquarters of the company to New Orleans.

The company is intended to be a real estate investment company that will purchase income-producing properties in the hotel and entertainment arena, said Reid, the company's director. "The Orpheum itself was not intended to be the focus of this company. It's just a small portion of it," he said.

Reid said he was interested in taking the Orpheum public because it makes it easier to sell shares to raise money. "The ability to raise funds through a public company is much easier than with a private company," he said. "It gives me a lot of other options."

That's potentially good news for theater fans who would like Reid raise money to reopen the performance venue, but a red flag for prospective investors.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc., the industry group that regulates securities brokers, has seven closed securities investigations on file for Reid alleging things like misrepresentation, fraud, negligence, breach of contract, unsuitable trading and investing, violating securities regulations and depositing a check meant for the firm into his personal account.

Reid said the check deposit was a mistake and resulted in sanction because he failed to respond after leaving the firm, and that prospective investors in Orpheum Property shouldn't worry about dealing with him as a result of his FINRA record.

"I was never found to be at fault for harming any investors," Reid said, a statement which conflicts with the official account in his 22-page report.

Uncertain repair plans

Meanwhile, the new name that Reid has given his company, Orpheum Property Inc., is not registered with the Louisiana secretary of state.

As proof of his intent to restore the Orpheum, Reid says he has hired Landrieu Construction to carry out a $10 million renovation of the theater, expand the stage and install the latest technology in a project that will begin in mid-February.

Renee Landrieu, owner of RLH, the parent company of Landrieu Construction, said her firm is ready for the job -- if it comes together. "We have a verbal agreement subject to them getting all the financing in place that we'll be the general contractor," she said.

Reid said Park 49, a New York private equity firm, is financing the project.

Mario Uribe, managing partner and founder of Park 49, said nothing is firm. "This is one scenario that we might be interested in. We are reviewing the opportunity at this point," Uribe said. "We still have to do our due diligence."

When Reid took over the project in the spring, he said he was talked into applying for Community Development Block Grant money to finance the renovation. While his application was pending, Reid said he was unable to do any work on the theater because he wouldn't have been reimbursed, but the process was taking so long, he abandoned it and found other financing.

"I got tired of waiting, so I'm moving forward with my alternate funding, and look to probably start construction in mid-February," said Reid.

'It just kind of happened'

Doing business as 129 University Place, Reid bought the theater earlier this year from entities controlled by Texas businessmen Richard Weyand and Peter Thiessen.

Weyand and Thiessen purchased the theater in 2006 for the bargain price of $675,000, took out mortgages on the property and transferred ownership between different corporate entities, but they failed to reopen the theater and left it mired in debt. In 2009, the Louisiana Landmarks Society placed the Orpheum on its list of most endangered sites in New Orleans.

Meanwhile, investors around the country have complained that they had put up millions to renovate the theater on the promise of earning handsome returns while helping New Orleans, but the distributions from Weyand and Thiessen stopped arriving. Investors have had little recourse in collecting because their names had never been placed on the deed to the theater.

Reid, a French Quarter resident who says his career was in the oil and gas business, has never been a theater buff, but got involved when the previous owners approached him. He agreed to assume a $2.7 million mortgage on the property and issue $3.47 million in stock to Weyand and Thiessen for total consideration of $6.2 million. "It just kind of happened," said Reid, who in the spring also became chief executive of a Houston energy exploration company that also trades as a bulletin board stock.

Reid's partner in the venture is Rod Solow, the founder of Live Magic, a New Orleans production company that Reid said he bought to help give the Orpheum a technological edge. Solow's company, Live Magic, was incorporated on July 1, according to the Louisiana secretary of state, two days after Reid's takeover of Pacific Land and Coffee was complete.

Their new venture, Orpheum Property Inc., is traded with the ticker symbol PLFF on the over-the-counter quote board, or OTCQB exchange, the middle tier of the largely unregulated bulletin board companies. Orpheum would trade on the lowest tier, the totally unregulated "pink sheet" exchange, but because it merged with a company that was already public, Pacific Land and Coffee, it automatically got bumped up a notch.

History of fraud

Micro-cap stocks, or companies with fewer than 500 investors and $10 million in assets like Orpheum Property, don't have to make filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. No filings have been made about the Orpheum merger or name change.

The SEC notes that many micro-cap stocks are legitimate businesses, "but the lack of reliable, readily available information about some microcap companies can open the door to fraud." Fraud perpetrators often pay promoters to tout their stock and issue news releases that are exaggerated or untrue, the SEC warns.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's database indicates that Reid is no stranger to securities fraud.

In 2002, while working for Williams Financial Group in Dallas, Reid took a $10,090.58 check from a customer and deposited it in his own account rather than forwarding it to the firm. When Reid failed to respond, the National Association of Securities Dealers barred him from association with any member firm.

In 2004, Reid was accused of unsuitable trading and investing, fraud, negligence and violating state and federal securities regulations that caused $6 million in damage to investors. After arbitration, the case was settled in 2006 for $35,000.

In 2003, Reid's employer, Corporate Securities Group, filed a complaint alleging "unsuitable investment" in municipal bonds that caused more than $100,000 of damage. Arbitration is pending.

In 2001, while working for First Allied Securities in San Diego, Reid was accused of having an unexplained debit balance of $60,321.09. The case was settled for $290.

In 2001, GMS Group of New Jersey accused Reid, who worked for the firm, of making "unsuitable recommendations, misrepresentations and breach of contract in connection with their investments in certain high yield corporate debt and other securities" resulting in damages of $200,000. The case was settled in arbitration for $106,275.

EU supplies GRANT of $5 million to help Belize with rural electrification.

SURPRISE NEWS ABOUT RURAL ELECTRIFICATION GRANT FROM THE EU AND THE GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATIONS WHERE THE MONEY WILL BE SPENT!


The message for Belize is that the GDP has to rise from incoming money, such as the expansion of the phone call centers, perhaps shipping semi finished Rosewood wood blanks, or more exports, including blanks for lignum vitae blanks, for ocean ship and submarine shaft bearings.
Only export orientation, or cash incoming activities are going to wipe out the national debt and pay for infra structure.

An interesting blurb on last nights TV was that the EU had given a GRANT for $5.5 million to BEL our electricity carrier. To build rural electric capacity.
I had surmised, or supposed that it would be going to the Toledo District and all those villages without electricity. Imagine my surprise after waiting for a long time about it, the list of places being rural electrified, were all North of Dangriga. Mostly in the Belize River Valley and Corozal and Orange Walk districts, that I thought in my ignorance, already were electrified. Go figure!
If this is true, RURAL ELECTRICIFICATION will need another $50 million dollars for BEL. WOW!!! We are worse off than I thought as a country.

They said, BEL doesn´t have enough money to do it themselves.

*** Expensive chopsticks. The demand exceeds the supply, by billions.


The market for ROSEWOOD, chopsticks is in the billions, as a status expensive symbol of wealth and power, in Asian countries with a Chinese population. Chopsticks are mostly disposable eating utensils.

Yet the UDP GOVERNMENT has allowed the export of raw ROSEWOOD, rare, endangered wood, such as ROSEWOOD and some other types of wood, to be plundered in the name of short term greed. If all the ROSEWOOD logs on the ground, were made into chopsticks, for the upscale market in ASIA, you still could not fill the demand for them. As a Value Added Product coming out of Belize, that is the proper use for ROSEWOOD. Not selling and shipping the raw chunked logs for somebody else to run the machinery to make chopsticks.

* It has acquired 70.95 line kilometres bringing the total for Phases 1 and 2 to 139.15km. Phase 3 seismic acquisition planned to commence immediately - expected completion in Q1 2012.

New World Oil and Gas Plc, a company focused on making investments in the oil and gas sector, announces an update from the 420 sq km Blue Creek Project located in the productive Petén Basin in Northwest Belize ('Blue Creek' or 'the Project').

Overview

* Successful completion of Phase 2 of seismic acquisition at Blue Creek - 70.95 line kilometres acquired bringing the total for Phases 1 and 2 to 139.15km
* Field and processed data to be interpreted shortly by the Company's geophysicist and Competent Person's Report ('CPR') to be updated by mid December 2011
* Updated CPR expected to include P10, P50, P90 mean volumetrics, scoping economics and an estimated market value for Blue Creek
* Phase 3 seismic acquisition planned to commence immediately - expected completion in Q1 2012


New World CEO William Kelleher said, "We continue to make excellent progress at our Blue Creek Project since its acquisition in June of this year. The completion of the second phase of our seismic acquisition programme is another significant milestone for New World as we progress towards anticipated phase three completion in Q1 2012.

"Following the positive results from the first of three planned phases of our seismic programme, the updated CPR specifically highlighted four structures similar to those found in the nearby producing Spanish Lookout field in the productive and highly prospective Petén Basin. Following the completion of the Phase 2 seismic, a second update to the CPR will be completed which we expect to include the first official estimates of in-place and recoverable oil volumes. We expect this update to be released by the middle of December 2011 and look forward to updating shareholders on our progress then."

UDP LOSE 2 % POINTS ON REPORT CARD - NEW SCORE 2% APPROVAL RATING

** Gaspar Vega, Forestry Dept. Cabinet UDP Minister. Is he a well liked, bumbling incompetent politician, or too smart, corrupt political type criminal? You can decide, as cable TV investigative reporters in Belize, reveal the sordid GREED based SCAM of protected ROSEWOOD exporting. This is SOAP OPERA entertainment Belizean style, as we the public wait with bated breath for the newest media revelations.
** Marcello Windsor, Chief Forest Officer, Belmopan.
UDP GOVERNMENT LOSE 2 PERCENTAGE POINTS ON THEIR PERFORMANCE IN GOVERNING REPORT CARD.

The loss is because of the FORESTRY DEPARTMENT. A re-run of the media interview with the Chief Forestry Officer last week, done this following week on evening TV, in which he asked the media to come to his office on Monday after the weekend, to get the list of HOLDERS of ROSEWOOD raw commodity logs, to be exported in containers. The media are reporting by Wednesday morning, with failure. Plain stonewalling by the Forestry Department. At least one media station on local cable TV was claiming to have gone 4 different times over Monday and Tuesday to get the list of license holders promised to them by the Chief Forest Officer last week.

Speculation among the public is rife with ideas for the stonewalling, blockage, prevention of the media from getting the list of licensed, permited persons authorized to export a restricted rare wood species, from Belize in a raw commodity state.

SPECULATION:
a) Chief Forestry Officer was lying?
b) Chief Forestry Officer is incompetent?
c) Chief Forestry Officer is under instructions from Cabinet Minister, Gaspar Vega to avoid the media?
d) Political shennanigans and corruption will be the result of the media following the money trail in this SCAM? So orders have come down from on high, to prevent it?

You name it, and some section of the public will think the worst in these conspiracy theories. At any rate, it is no way to run a government, even if this is standard politicial operating procedure to do with the Forestry Department. So the UDP CABINET lose 2 points from their PERFORMANCE APPROVAL RATING REPORT CARD.
