ANNUAL AGRICULTURE AND TRADE SHOW OPENS IN BELIZE THIS WEEKEND AS A SURPRISE

SURPRISE!!! NATIONAL AGRICULTURE AND TRADE SHOW OPENED IN BELMOPAN FOR THIS WEEKEND. COMES AS SURPRISE NEWS TO ME, VIA THE INTERNET.

WASHINGTON TIMES TELLS US WHY WE ARE POOR IN BELIZE.

FOREIGN ECONOMIST PRINTED IN THE WASHINGTON TIMES AS TO WHY BELIZE IS FAILING THAT CONCLUSION WAS OBVIOUS TO BELIZEANS. WE ARE POOR BECAUSE OF BAD GOVERNANCE We know we are governed badly by a band of self enrichment pirates, calling themselves a party. They make the rules, laws and hold the guns. We know they are nothing more than a herd of pigs, feeding off the tax trough. HOW TO CHANGE THE PROBLEM? GIVE US SOLUTIONS! _____________________________________________________

Richard Rahn states the obvious in the Washington Post. Fails to offer solutions. ( REVOLUTION?) ____________________________________________ *********************( COMPLIMENTS OF Channel 5 )****************************** Economist says opportunity for Belize as High Growth Country Richard Rahn In January we told you about an article printed in the Washington Times on a comparative look on Belize and the Cayman Islands. The writer, Dr. Richard Rahn, who is an American Economist, draws conclusions on why Cayman is rich and Belize is poor, although both are small Caribbean countries with similar climate, mixed cultures and were former British colonies. According to Rahn, Belize should be richer; after all it is the bigger country and has more natural resources. Well, Dr. Richard Rahn is in Belize for the Chamber of Commerce’s AGM. Dr. Rahn spoke about ‘The Opportunity for Belize to be a High-Growth Country.’ Dr. Rahn told News Five that in short, the problem in Belize is poor governance. Dr. Richard Rahn, American Economist & Journalist “Well, Belize remains poor because it has too many tax and regulatory impediments and it needs to clean up its judicial system. We looked around and going back to 1970, Belize has the same per capita income as Cayman and now the Cayman has six times the per capita income. Cayman instituted a number of policies that Belize did not and as a result Belize lags way behind and if all those policies are changed, Belize can catch up very quickly and Belize can become very rich as the average person in the Cayman, the United States, Singapore or wherever.”

BELIZE SCIENTISTS QUARREL WITH CLIMATE CHANGE AGENDA

CLIMATE DEBATE AND RESEARCH IN BELIZE, PUT THE LIE, TO THE GLOBAL WARMING FANATICS AND PEDDLARS OF THINGS TO MAKE BIG MONEY OFF CLIMATE CHANGE. There are many studies of ice cores, marine underwater archeology, and computer charts galore with statistics of real scientific data. In a rough nutshell, you can find CHARTS GALORE on the internet. In rough figures here it is: a) Ice volume on planet Earth in our human era, peaked about 20,000 years ago. b) Human habitation found at 150 feet under the water of Western Canada and USA, prove that water levels were lower back in the years of the GARDEN OF EDEN ( now the Persian Gulf ) c) Present warm inter-glacial started started around 10,000 years ago. d) The warm period PEAKED about 8000 years ago. e) The last time PLANET EARTH was this WARM was 120,000 years ago. f) ICE AGES occurred 410,000 years ago, 330,000 years ago, 240,000 years ago, and 210,000 years ago. g) The MINI ICE AGES, glacial periods run for about 30,000 years and match the rotation of the SOLAR SYSTEM, around the GALACTIC CENTER. In all, taking about 50,000 years to complete an ICE AGE and a WARM inter-glacial period.

CAN BELIZE GOVERNMENT FORM A MARKETING BOARD FOR ARTS AND CRAFTS FOR EXPORT

CAN THE BELIZE TOURIST BOARD, THE BELTRAIDE THINGY DEPARTMENT AND THE MARKETING BOARD ACT AS MIDDLE MEN AND MARKETING GURUS IN THIS NEW AGE OF INTERNATIONAL COMPUTER KNOWLEDGE, TO BUY THE PRODUCTS OF LOCAL ARTISANS, SMALL MANUFACTURERS AND OTHER FOLK ART AND EXPORT SAME? What would it take in government assistance, to make a MARKET for guaranteed prices for local artisans folk art, for EXPORT, similar to what the MARKETING BOARD does for crops and vegetables? Local crafts, from small individuals and families cannot afford the high cost of taking their products around the country to people catering to local tourism and visitors. Nor do shops want the products, except on consignment and the costs of food, lodging and transportation to get your money, if you can, for sold products doesn´t work. Has NEVER WORKED, because I´ve been trying it for 55 years. So, is there an economic answer of government organization and bureaucratic marketing computer skills to solve this local problem of marketing arts and crafts from artisans?

WHAT ARE THE BELIZE TOURIST BOARD PROMOTIONS TO FILL OUR HOTELS WITH CENTRAL AMERICAN TOURISTS, THIS DEAD FALL SEASON?

CURIOUS MINDS WANT TO KNOW IF THE BELIZE TOURIST BOARD ARE PLANNING ANYTHING AT ALL IN CENTRAL AMERICA, TO FILL OUR VACANCIES DURING THE OTHERWISE VERY DEAD, FALL TOURIST SEASON?

BIG BROTHER AND THE MICROCHIP UNDER THE SKIN OF YOUR HAND IN THE USA.

RUMOR MILL HAS IT, THAT A NEW LAW WAS SIGNED AND PASSED BY OBAMA included in a Health Bill, that by NEXT YEAR all USA citizens will have to be implanted with a microchip in their hand. For tracking purposes, identification and bank accounts, etc. MANDATORY, everybody the rumor mill says, will be required to be microchipped. ______________________________________________ "I had forgotten this conversation until a few days ago. When I remembered I started researching it and found out that it was not only true, but the microchip was incorporated in our last health care bill covertly. The process as stated in the bill will begin in "December of 2012". This new law requires an RFID (radio frequency identification) chip implanted in all US citizens. This chip will not only contain your personal information with tracking capability but it will also be linked to your bank account. No US citizen will be allowed in or out of our country without it. And get this, Page 1004 of the new law (dictating the timing of this chip), reads, and I quote: "Not later than 36 months after the date of the enactment". It is now the law of the land that by "March 23 2013" we will all be required to have an RFID chip underneath the skin. Testing has begun with implanting under the skin of the hand. (I will send a PDF of the bill). Please note to look for "The National Registry" on about page 1000. "

ECONOMIC CRASH IN BELIZE IN 5 MORE YEARS

In five more years, it is said the oil will have dried up in Belize and the impact on the economy will be dramatically effected. Estimates ( we lack up to date economic data on the local scene from our government ), the estimates are that the current BUDGETS of Belize are having oil exports contribute between 25% sto 33% to the maintainance of our government. The newly re-elected government run by the UDP and Dean Barrow are going to have the best 5 year term ever for government economics. But by the next election, the loss of a quarter to a third of our economic revenue is going to have a dramatic curtailment on the size of government and the ability to supply services. How our politicians and bureaucrats find a solution to this bureaucratic downsizing over the next 2 to 3 years is probably the biggest challenge this current UDP government faces.

BELIZEAN SAPPHIRA PLAYO, JOINS CIRQUE DU SOLEIL

A report has come in, that a Belizean, Sapphira Playo has joined the famous CIRQUE DU SOLEIL. No photo yet, or word of her act participation. Sapphira is Orlando Pelayo´s daughter.

Reminds me as a young boy, in the farming village of Tavistock, Ontario, when the FALL Agriculture Show Fair came around the boonies. I got my mother´s permission to work with the Lion Tamer show. My job was to take the tickets and in the FALL I remember it was very cold going until Midnight, standing outside collecting tickets. I was 12 years old and remember well the PROUD FEELING I had, when walking down the street at 2 a.m. after the carnies had closed the Fair down, with a group of them for an early breakfast, or late supper, whichever. But I was allowed to carry one of the monkeys from the monkey cage on my shoulder, cleaning my hair. I was very conscious of that monkey on my shoulder. In the all night cafe, the people would stare. I remember that tremendous feeling of pride and belonging with the carnies, night after night. My tour came to an end abruptly, when my MOTHER made an unannounced visit one morning and found me in the cage with the female lion. A beautiful big LION of over a 1000 lbs. We were playing tag inside the cage. I would paw the earth staring at her, and she would whisk her tail back and forth then charge me. I would try to stand up, but at 12 years old was too small and when she put her two paws on my shoulders, I crumbled to the ground from her weight. The LION TAMER had raised her from a baby and had three lions. She was the one that he put his head in her mouth up on a pedastal. There were three lions, but he would not let me play with the other two male lions. Still it was a young boy´s adventure and I remember it still. Those are the memories worth having. I wish our Belizean well with the circus. That outfit is famous as one of the best, if not the BEST circus in the world today.

EATING PEANUTS IS MORE DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH THAN MARIJUANA

Elrington, is the ONLY innovative character in the UDP CABINET. He came on television the other week and said it straight. He has lots of friends that smoke marijuna ( it´s illegal ) and many of them are more hard working, richer, and smarter than he is. He sees that the HYPE on marijuana usage is hypocritical locally. Unfortunately the CABINET and political party is controlled by a strong man autocrat, Dean Barrow ( El Caudillo ). Who is noted for not being too swift with innovation, or out of the box thinking. Successful politician, but very limited otherwise. Legally as a lawyer, he is a 5 out of 10 score card. He can only run the government in established modus operendi. That is his background in legal stuff. Consequently forward thinking CABINET INNOVATORS like ELRINGTON are sidelined, when expressing the wish to make marijuana legal and let the government collect GST sales tax on it. Since Aspirin is 7600 times more dangerous than marijuana, it makes you wonder at this UDP CABINET. The rest of the crowd of ( hic ) MINISTERS in there, are no name mediocre, get rich quick off the tax trough type feeding pigs. They do what they are told. No thinking coming out of them at all. Legalizing marijuana would go part way to contributing taxes to the economy, that the loss of our oil tax income will need by the end of this political 5 year term. Also it would open the other varieties

, of Indian Hemp products that are not marijuana for export. ( currently our police cannot tell the difference, so prosecute everything, thus killing off Indian Hemp grown products that could develop markets)

THIS IS OUR EL CAUDILLO, DEAN BARROW, STRONG MAN CONTROLLING BELIZE in an elected dictatorship. He won´t allow us to legalize marijuana. Has no sense at all! ( opinion ) EATING PEANUTS IS MORE DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH, THAN USING MARIJUANA. Aspirin is 7600 times more dangerous. YET THE FOOLISH GOVERNMENT OF BELIZE, CONTINUES TO LOCK UP PEOPLE FOR YEARS, FOR USING OR POSSESSION OF TINY AMOUNTS OF MARIJUANA. HOW STUPID CAN POLITICIANS GET?

Cabinet Minister Elrington. Elrington favors legalizing marijuana, but he is only one sensible man in the CABINET. The rest are just sheep followers of the El Caudillo, head of the political party, who controls everything.

CARIBBEAN BRAIN DRAIN, EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM EXPORTS IT´S YOUTH ABROAD TO INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRIES.

CARIBBEAN EDUCATION SYSTEM CONCENTRATES ON PRODUCING EXPORT EMMIGRATION TO INDUSTRIALIZED NATIONS.

The Caribbean Educational system concentrates on liberal arts educational system, in the 2 year, Sixth Form, college level and Bachelor Degree level. Exporting the people with these degrees, qualifies these brain drain export Caribbean citizens, to work as gas station pump attendants in places like Canada and the USA. Or perhaps the chance to achieve managerial status of a FAST FOOD restaurant in the industrialised countries. If they are very lucky and there is some sort of minority racial ethnic hiring program, they can often enter low level clerical type jobs, in various civil service administrations.

While there is much opportunity and scope for all kinds of light manufacturing entrepreneurs in their home countries of the Caribbean, they lack the rudimentary educational trained, technical skills to achieve any sort of self supporting independent business, with import substitution potential, or export potential. The bureaucrats of the government civil service themselves, being products of this skewed educational Caribbean system, have failed miserably in the Caribbean in turning the education system around. They go on, year after year, perpetuating the same brain drain, students for export to industrialized countries.

BELIZE - THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DEMOCRACY LIKE BELIZE AND A REPUBLIC 2012

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DEMOCRACY LIKE BELIZE AND A REPUBLIC




"A Democracy
The chief characteristic and distinguishing feature of a Democracy is: Rule by Omnipotent Majority. In a Democracy, The Individual, and any group of Individuals composing any Minority, have no protection against the unlimited power of The Majority. It is a case of Majority-over-Man. This is true whether it be a Direct Democracy, or a Representative Democracy."

"A Republic
A Republic, on the other hand, has a very different purpose and an entirely different form, or system, of government. Its purpose is to control The Majority strictly, as well as all others among the people, primarily to protect The Individual’s God-given, unalienable rights and therefore for the protection of the rights of The Minority, of all minorities, and the liberties of people in general."

JUNK SCRAP METAL IN BELIZE GETS LAYERED WITH PERMITS, FINES, REGULATIONS.

Another layer of bureaucracy and money making for the bureaucracy.

CLEANING UP SCRAP METAL, JUNK CARS AND SUCH HAS JUST BECOME POLITICIZED IN BELIZE. IF THERE IS MONEY TO BE MADE AT IT, THE CABINET POLITICIANS WILL LOOK TO STEAL THE BUSINESS IS THE USUAL REFRAIN.




Effective April 16, 2011, Belize’s Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment, through the Department of the Environment, passed the Scrap Metal Recyclers Regulations. “The main purpose of these regulations, storage, transportation and exportation of scrap metals through a licensing system,” read the online regulations at: www.ddoe.gov.bz.

Under the new legislation:
1. Any person or company who buys or sells scrap metal for the purpose of export or proposes to carry on business as a scrap metal dealer must make an application for a licence to be a scrap metal dealer or recycler to the Department of the Environment. The licence may be refused or granted subject to the conditions by the department and valued for a period of 12 months.

2. The transportation of scrap metals within the country of Belize shall only be via authorised trucks. Authorised trucks are prohibited from entering certain areas, such as along the Arenal Road, Calla Creek Road, Jallacte Road and the Bullet Tree Road.

3. Materials which are substantially made of copper, bronze or material which are considered as antiquities or artifacts, as per the National Institute of Culture and History Act, are strictly prohibited from being exported.
Any persons found in possession of any such prohibited material can be detained and shall be liable to a fine of no less than US$5,113 (B$10,000).

4. Scrap metal dealers must first obtain an “export permit” from the department for each exportation of scrap metal and pay the necessary fees associated with such permit.

According to the Belizean government, these regulations also address the environmental impacts associated with the collection and storage of scrap metals through the requirement of an environmental compliance plan by licensees, as well as the collection of data on the trade of scrap metal in Belize.

BELIZE SENATE COMPARED EQUIVALENT TO JORDAN AND BURKINA FASO DICTATORSHIPS.

BELIZE SENATE A WORLD JOKE !

Britain tries to REFORM their HOUSE OF LORDS, and local writers compare the effort to BELIZE, BURKINA FASO AND JORDAN. Where political corruption and political ruling party dictatorship, make a laughing stock internationally. JORDAN IS AN ARAB DICTATORSHIP CALLED A KINGDOM. BELIZE IS A DICTATORSHIP, BY WHICHEVER RULING PARTY CONTROLS THE CABINET, USED TO RULE THE COUNTRY. HAVE NO IDEA OF BURKINA FASO?

From England on reforming their HOUSE OF LORDS. Most over 90 years old.


"Mr Clegg has become increasingly vocal about the House of Lords in recent weeks. He sent out a briefing note to fellow Lib Dems claiming that failing to reform the Lords would leave Britain "in the same league as Jordan, Belize and Burkina Faso" as countries that allowed political parties to select who sat in their upper house."

BREADFRUIT FRENCH FRIES OF BELIZE BEAT THOSE IN THE USA AND UK FOR FLAVORS, THAT ARE MADE FROM POTATOES.

FAST FOOD FRENCH FRIES

French fries are a USA cultural FAST FOOD restaurant staple. Some few places make memorable french fries. Most are under cooked, or greasy, too thin to cook right.

The British are famous for their FISH and CHIPS. Chips are their version of French Fries.

But Western Belize beats both the USA and Britain for eating French Fries or chips.

They make them out of BREADFRUIT and they are half an inch thick slices of breadfruit. I have my own supply for the two breadfruit producing seasons a year. Got my own tree by the corner fence. The breadfruit chips, taste like well done, the best FRENCH FRIES or CHIPS done in the USA and UK. However here is where the difference lies. The outer crust may be a FRENCH FRY with all that flavor, but the interior of the BREADFRUIT FRY is soft and tender like the most delicious mashed potatoes. The combination is out of this world. To be found only in Belize. Fried in coconut oil yet, the flavors and crunchiness cannot be beat anyplace else in the world.

REFUTING THE NONSENSE ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING CAUSES.



When exactly was the "Medieval Warm Period" ?



From : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_Warm_Period
The Medieval Warm Period (MWP), Medieval Climate Optimum, or Medieval Climatic Anomaly was a time of warm climate in the North Atlantic region, that may also have been related to other climate events around the world during that time, including in China, New Zealand, and other countries lasting from about AD 950 to 1250. It was followed by a cooler period in the North Atlantic termed the Little Ice Age. Some refer to the event as the Medieval Climatic Anomaly as this term emphasizes that effects other than temperature were important.

Looking at the Ice core Temperature graph, it looks as if you can't just say AD 950 to 1250

But notice how those temperatures were Higher around AD 0 to 100 and again AD 350 to 400
The temperatures were much higher 4,000 to 2,000 BC
The first recent cold period started 500 BC and there have been 6 cold periods since then,
but what put the "Little Ice Age" above those 50 or so years cold periods, is that the
"Little Ice Age" lasted for about 400 years, from about 1450 to about 1850 AD
In fact, we have only very recently got out of that "Little Ice Age"
We are now, back up to about the "Medieval Warm Period", but not as warm as it was around 0 to 100 AD.



This shows the shear futility of trying to pretend we, man, are now making the world go too warm.

DEVELOPMENT OF ICT BUSINESSES PROBLEMS IN BELIZE ARE GOVERNMENT CONTROLS - 2012-.

REPORT IDENTIFIES BELIZE PROBLEMS WITH LACK OF DEVELOPMENT AROUND ICT TECHNOLOGY. TWO ITEMS STAND OUT. 1) LACK OF INFRA-STRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT, MAINLY IN SPEED, CAPACITY, LOCAL COST, AND RURAL DISTRIBUTION OF ICT SERVICE. 2) LACK OF FAVORABLE BUSINESS CONDITIONS FOR ENTREPRENURIAL DEVELOPMENT. START UPS, ARE TAXED, LICENSED AND SQUEEZED OUT OF BOOT STRAP BEGINNER BUSINESSES, BY BUREAUCRATIC REGULATORY RED TAPE.


Despite Latin America continuing to lag behind in terms of ICT and technology adoption, Barbados, Puerto Rico, Chile and Uruguay stand out as regional leaders, according to the World Economic Forum's (WEF) 2012 global information technology report.

Among the least prepared countries in the region highlighted by the report include Haiti, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Suriname and Belize.

Latin American countries face a variety of different challenges related to ICT development; however, a number of shared factors - such as insufficient investment in ICT infrastructure development, a weak skills base and unfavorable business conditions - contribute to the regional lag of technology adoption.

CHILE

Chile benefits from a robust environment for innovation and well-functioning legal framework, but ICT development is hindered by the lack of a skills base to fully optimize the use of ICT as well as by the excessively high cost of access, WEF notes.

URUGUAY

The country has recognized the importance of ICT, a process which has been lead by the government.

Uruguay received a US$10.8mn IDB loan in October last year to improve the quality of e-government services and simplify procedures for citizens and businesses.

In addition, Uruguay has good ICT infrastructure and wide access in schools through its one laptop per child program, but the technological readiness of the country still needs improvement, particularly in the area of innovation, according to WEF.

BARBADOS & PUERTO RICO

Both of these Caribbean countries have environments conducive to entrepreneurship as well as relatively strong ICT infrastructure, the report said.

Barbados' population in particular has a strong ICT skills base, leading to a large individual uptake of the technology, which helps to offset the high cost of ICT access in the country.

Barbados would also benefit from improving its innovation capacity.

Puerto Rico, meanwhile, lacks this strong skills base, which negatively affects ICT uptake. ICT development has largely been lead by the country's private sector, with government initiatives lagging behind. This is also true to a lesser extent in Barbados, according to the report.

Bill Gates touring Belize onboard Attessa IV

Tuesday, April 10th, 2012, 4:02 pm



The Attessa IV has been adrift off Ambergris Caye outside the Belize Barrier Reef since early Tuesday, April 10th with the world’s second richest man on board. Aboard the 330ft private super yacht is Bill Gates along with six family members and a crew of 23. The vessel, captained by Sergiy Pashchenko, was given the clearance to navigate into Belizean waters just before mid-morning and has permission to remain in the country until May 9th.

According to sources within the Immigration Department, the vessel was cleared by personnel that flew in from Belize City. The Attessa IV is expected to make stops at various world renowned destinations including Hol Chan Marine Reserve, southern Belize, The Turneff Atolls and the Great Blue Hole.

The visit of Attessa IV and Bill Gates is huge, considering the size and facts of the vessel and similarly important, the person aboard the mega yacht. Firstly the Attessa IV was re-launched on December 2010 and is one of the world’s top 25 private super-yachts by length. It is considered the largest super-yacht to be (re)launched in North America and the 23rd longest private yacht in the world. According to Forbes, the Attessa IV has an estimated value of $250 million. The vessel is able to accommodate up to 36 guests and around 23 crew members. It came equipped with a helicopter which was cleared to fly in Belize. The owner of the impressive nautical masterpiece is industrialist Dennis Washington whose net worth is about $4 billion.

Bill Gates, born William Henry Gates III, is the second richest man in the world. He is a software executive, an American entrepreneur, philanthropist and the chairman of Microsoft. Bill Gates earns US$250 every second which is about US$20 million a day and US$7.8 billion a year.

In January of 2012 the InterAmerican Development Bank (IDB) signed an agreement with Belize under the Salud Mesoamerica 2015 Initiative. The project started with sponsorship from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Carlos Slim Health Institute. Annually, Gates donates some $200 million a year to combat disease in various parts of the world.

SAID MUSA, NEEDED IN THE CABINET AS MINISTER OF STATISTICS

Said Musa, statistical whizz when in office with 1/10th the resources the current UDP government has now, who produced during his last term in office, fabulous up to date economic statistical reporting.
Dean Barrow , Caudillo, current Prime Minister needs to ask SAID MUSA to join his CABINET.
DEAN BARROW, CURRENT UDP PRIME MINISTER AND FINANCE MINISTER, NEEDS TO CREATE A BI-PARTISAN APPROACH, AND REACH ACROSS THE AISLE IN PARLIAMENT AND HIRE EX-PRIME MINISTER SAID MUSA AS ECONOMIC AND STATISTICAL CABINET MINISTER

ECONOMY NEEDS SAID MUSA BACK IN OUR GOVERNMENT?

WE AS A BELIZEAN PEOPLE NEED SAID MUSA BACK IN GOVERNMENT, AT LEAST IN CHARGE OF STATISTICAL INFORMATION ON THE ECONOMY. The UDP has only 5 years to get our economy to a self sufficiency stage, for after when the oil runs out, this economical statistical reporting crap is not any GOOD indicator of their capability to do so.


WE NEED SAID MUSA BACK IN GOVERNMENT. THIS BELIZE GOVERNMENT STUFF IS JUST NOT CUTTING IT.


What the hell use is statistics that is FOUR YEARS OLD? Can´t you find anything current to the last quarter, March 2012.

Is the fabulous money we are paying for economic majors, degreed persons in our Belize government bureaucracy´, only producing crap that is four years old. How can anybody, the private sector, or the government work on this NONSENSE. That is why we gave them computers in Belmopan and exorbitant advantages in computer literacy, software programs. Are our HUMAN RESOURCES in the civil service still SO BAAAAD? The politicians can´t fix this problem? Better bring back Said Musa, he did it, with a secretary out of his office almost alone.

Subject: Bz-Culture: strategic default and the superbond
Oil production has made important contributions
to Belize’s fiscal account and to growth in its gross
domestic product (GDP). Although production
was relatively low in 2006 and 2007, it has grown
and generated important fiscal revenue. Its contribution
in the future could be significant and will make the renegotiation of the "Superbond" seem as a strategic default.
I hope that some people on the superbond renegotiation team have M&A and/or Public finance experience.
Some issues that investors will bring up is that when Belize got the "Superbond" the fiscal condition was as is describe in this
chart but now we have the following added indicators.
1. Indicator for Belize Oil Sector(not including any new oil discovery)
Oil as percentage of GDP =47.75
Oil as percentage of exports = 69.75
Oil revenue as percentage of GDP =24.09
Oil as percentage of fiscal revenue =46.88
Oil production per capital =54.554
Oil production per thousand dollars of GDP=9.745
__________________________________________

BNE THE SUCCESSFUL OIL COMPANY, SAYS THE BELIZE GOVERNMENT IS GETTING 58% OF OIL REVENUES.

No date on this data, but touted as current projections for 2012.

Oil as percentage of GDP =47.75
Oil as percentage of exports = 69.75
Oil revenue as percentage of GDP =24.09
Oil as percentage of fiscal revenue =46.88
Oil production per capital =54.554
Oil production per thousand dollars of GDP=9.745

The next government will HAVE NO OIL REVENUES TO HELP THEM. CAN THIS UDP government put our economy on a productive track in say 3 years? Ask yourself that? Dean Barrow the CAUDILLO did a good enough job, as a defensive measure, as at the Battle of Waterloo during this past term. But does he have the balls, and associates in his current government CABINET to produce effective economic growth in the next three years? Ask yourself that one, when we get obsolete statistical data from the government. It certainly does not look so?

TWO SMALL OIL PONDS IN BELIZE, WILL DRY UP IN LESS THAN SEVEN YEARS IS THE PREDICTION.

BELIZE OIL EXPORTS WILL DRY UP IN LESS THAN SEVEN YEARS, SO SAYS A ONE YEAR OLD PREDICTION BY THE OIL MINISTRY.

The Spanish Lookout field has about 7 years left and the new one, is not big enough to even run those seven years in production.

Behooves this NEW government to get cracking on light manufacturing skills training and subsidy type encouragements. We going to need it about the time this current government comes to an end.

My daughter has a dinghy and a small outboard motor. I asked to use them. She said, the regulations have gotten so tight and expensive, that they can no longer use either the dinghy, or the outboard. The last time they did, it ended up costing them $600 in fines. The modus operendi of the new government is to maintain bureaucracies through licenses, regulations, penalties and fines. The process has become too time consuming, red tape and expensive. Myriad small bureaucracies have been created to provide employment for mainland port town people, from recreational use. The days of yore, when you could build your own boat on the beach and enjoy it, are gone! Two months on Caye Caulker and I cannot go fishing, even close to shore, or enjoy an outing on the water. Everything is regulation, license fees, penalties and fines. The fun has gone out of island life for natives. Only commercial operations can use boats. Going to have to find a friend with a boat in the Rio Dulce and Lago Izabal to go visit.

THE PASSING OF AN ERA.

CHINESE ARE A BIG PART OF THE MULTI - ETHNIC MIX IN BELIZE. BOTH FROM TAIWAN AND MAINLAND CHINESE IMMIGRANTS.

OF THE TWO CHINA´S, TAIWAN HAS THE STRONGEST LONG TERM TIES WITH BELIZE. THEIR ASSISTANCE HAS REPLACED THE U.K. and seems to be more meaningful in practical ways than even European Union assistance, which comes with many strings attached. The E.U. are supplying meaningful small scale markets with special prices through individual companies for Belize raw products. THE CHINESE ARE A BIG PRESENCE IN BELIZE NOW, BOTH ISLAND TAIWANESE AND MAINLAND CHINESE, AND PART OF THE MULTI ETHNIC MATRIX. There are Chinese grocery stores everywhere.

China buys inroads into the Caribbean
Loans from state banks, investments by companies and gifts from the government catch US attention
Randal C Archibold / Nassau (The Bahamas) Apr 09, 2012, 00:51 IST



A brand new $35-million stadium opened here in the Bahamas a few weeks ago, a gift from the Chinese government.

The tiny island nation of Dominica has received a grammar school, a renovated hospital and a sports stadium, also courtesy of the Chinese. Antigua and Barbuda got a power plant and a cricket stadium, and a new school is on its way. The prime minister of Trinidad and Tobago can thank Chinese contractors for the craftsmanship in her official residence.


China’s economic might has rolled up to America’s doorstep in the Caribbean, with a flurry of loans from state banks, investments by companies and outright gifts from the government in the form of new stadiums, roads, official buildings, ports and resorts in a region where the United States has long been a prime benefactor.

The Chinese have flexed their economic prowess in nearly every corner of the world. But planting a flag so close to the United States has generated intense vetting — and some raised eyebrows — among diplomats, economists and investors.

“When you’ve got a new player in the hemisphere all of a sudden, it’s obviously something talked about at the highest level of governments,” said Kevin P Gallagher, a Boston University professor who is an author of a recent report on Chinese financing, “The New Banks in Town.”

Most analysts do not see a security threat, noting that the Chinese are not building bases or forging any military ties that could invoke fears of another Cuban missile crisis. But they do see an emerging superpower securing economic inroads and political support from a bloc of developing countries with anaemic budgets that once counted almost exclusively on the United States, Canada and Europe.

China announced late last year that it would lend $6.3 billion to Caribbean governments, adding considerably to the hundreds of millions of dollars in loans, grants and other forms of economic assistance it has already channelled there in the past decade.

Unlike in Africa, South America and other parts of the world where China’s forays are largely driven by a search for commodities, its presence in the Caribbean derives mainly from long-term economic ventures, like tourism and loans, and potential new allies that are inexpensive to win over, analysts say.

American diplomatic cables released through WikiLeaks and published in the British newspaper The Guardian quoted diplomats as being increasingly worried about the Chinese presence here “less than 190 miles from the United States” and speculating on its purpose. One theory, according to a 2003 cable, suggested that China was lining up allies as “a strategic move” for the eventual end of the Castro era in Cuba, with which it has strong relations.

But the public line today is to be untroubled.

“I am not particularly worried, but it is something the US should continue to monitor,” said Dennis C Shea, the chairman of the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission, a bipartisan Congressional panel. But, he added, “With China you have to be wary of possible policy goals behind the effort.”

This archipelago, less than a one-hour flight from Florida, has gotten particular attention from the Chinese. Aside from the new stadium, with its “China Aid” plaque affixed prominently at the entrance, Chinese workers here in the Bahamas are busy helping build the $3.5-billion Baha Mar, one of the region’s largest megaresorts.

Beyond that, a Chinese state bank agreed in recent weeks to put up $41 million for a new port and bridge, and a new, large Chinese Embassy is being built downtown.

The new stadium here, Bahamian officials said, was in part a reward for breaking ties with Taiwan in 1997 and establishing and keeping relations with China.

It is one of several sporting arenas that China has sprinkled in Caribbean and Central American nations as gratitude for their recognition of “one China” — in other words, for their refusal to recognise Taiwan, which Chinese officials consider part of their country.

“They offered a substantial gift and we opted for a national stadium,” said Charles Maynard, the Bahamian sports minister, adding that his government could never have afforded to build it on its own.

In this enduring tug of war with Taiwan, others have switched, too, with a little financial encouragement. Grenada ended relations with Taiwan in 2004, and it is now in talks with China about getting a new national track and field stadium. The parting has not been entirely amicable; Taiwan and Grenada are now locked in a financial dispute over loans that Grenada received to finance the construction of its airport.

Determined not to be sidelined, Taiwan is seeking to solidify its existing relationships with countries like Belize, St Kitts and Nevis, and St Lucia — which in 2007 broke relations with China in favour of Taiwan — with a bevy of projects, many of them agricultural, including an agreement signed with Belize in recent weeks to develop the fish farming industry there.

Still, Taiwanese diplomats in the region conceded that they could never keep up with China’s largesse but continued to make strategic investments in the Caribbean.

There are some commodities in the region that China wants. In August, a Chinese company, Complant, bought the last three government sugar estates in Jamaica and leased cane fields, for a total investment of $166 million. Last year, Jamaica for the first time shipped its famed Blue Mountain Coffee to China.

The Jamaican government has also received several hundred million dollars in loans from China, including $400 million announced in 2010 over five years to rebuild roads and other infrastructure.

“In order to be prosperous you need to build roads first,” said Adam Wu, an executive with China Business Network, a consulting group for Chinese businesses that has been making the case for China in several Caribbean countries.

Several analysts in the Caribbean say they believe that China eventually will emerge as a political force in the region, with so many countries indebted to it, at a time when the United States is perceived as preoccupied with the Middle East and paying little attention to the region.

“They are buying loyalty and taking up the vacuum left by the United States, Canada and other countries, particularly in infrastructure improvements,” said Sir Ronald Sanders, a former diplomat from Antigua and Barbuda.

“If China continues to invest the way it is doing in the Caribbean, the U.S. is almost making itself irrelevant to the region,” he added. “You don’t leave your flank exposed.”

In some places, Chinese contractors or workers have stayed on, beginning to build communities and businesses. So many have opened in Roseau, Dominica, that local merchants have complained about being squeezed out.

Trinidad and Tobago has had waves of Chinese immigration over the past century, but locals are now seeing more Chinese restaurants and shops, as well as other signs of a new immigrant generation.

“I am second-generation Trinidadian-Chinese, and like most of us of this era, we have integrated very well in society, having friends, girlfriends, spouses and kids with people of other ethnicities,” said Robert Johnson-Attin, 36, a mechanical engineer now with his own successful business. “It’ll only be a matter of time before it happens with the Chinese coming in now.”

Here in the Bahamas, Tan Jian, the economic counselor at the Chinese Embassy, said he that believed “it’s only the start” of the Chinese presence across the Caribbean, casting it as one developing country using its growing economic power to help other developing ones.

The Bahamian government, he said, “cannot afford to build huge projects by itself.”

While the Chinese built the stadium, the Bahamas is responsible for utility hookups and the roads and landscaping outside it.

The $35 million gift “is costing us $50 million,” said Mr. Maynard, the sports minister. “But at the end of the day it will pay for itself” by putting the Bahamas in position to host major sporting events and reap the tourism revenue that comes with that.

For Baha Mar, the Chinese Export-Import Bank is financing $2.6 billion, nearly three-quarters of the cost, and China’s state construction company is a partner.

The Bahamas agreed to allow up to 8,000 foreign workers, most of them Chinese, to work on the project in stages, but it also required employment for 4,000 Bahamians, dampening concerns that Chinese workers were taking jobs. American companies will also take part in building and running it.

Mr. Jian played down any economic competition with the United States, whose tourists, he asserted, stood to benefit from China’s presence in the Caribbean. The Chinese workers here live in barracks behind the project fences, largely shielded from public view.

“We hardly know they are here,” said James Duffy, watching a track practice next to the stadium one recent afternoon, adding with a chuckle: “Except for the big things they build.”

ILLEGAL IN BELIZE FOR FEMALES TO WORK IN STORES AFTER SUNSET?

BELIZE NATIONAL POLICE DID THEIR JOBS AS STIPULATED BY THE POLITICIANS LAWS ON THIS 2012, EASTER WEEKEND TOURIST HOLIDAY TIME.

On Good Friday went to a restaurant in Caye Caulker for lunch. The proprietor informed us that he could not serve any alcoholic beverages with our lunch. He explained that it is against the law to sell alcoholic beverages between the hours of one pm and 3 pm on Good Friday. One minute before 1 or one minute after 3 you are good to go. Maybe some of the time spent revising the constitution to allow citizens of another country to sit in the national assembly should be spent on cleaning up these absurdities still on the law book of Belize. I think it is still illegal for females to work after sunset in Belize.

P.S. How did we get saddled in Belize with a RELIGIOUS LAW, when Belize has over a dozen and a half different main religions?

Belize StrategemFX Tested to US Safety, Security Standard

55-page Independent Audit by Bain Markets Finds Provider Meeting or Exceeding the US NFA Standard

Belize City, Belize, April 07, 2012 --(PR.com)-- StrategemFX, the Belize-based provider of online foreign exchange services, this week went to the extraordinary lengths of documenting its compliance with the security and capacity standards imposed by the National Futures Association (NFA) on US-based forex providers. “To our knowledge, we are the only non-US provider to voluntarily test and document our compliance with the standards imposed on our US-based counterparts,” said Lionel Welch, counsel for StrategemFX. “We wanted to prove to clients that we can provide the best of both worlds: the trust and security of compliance with US standards and the high leverage, low overhead, and privacy of offshore.”

Bain Markets, a US-based provider of audit and technical services to global exchanges, conducted the audit during March and April 2012 to determine whether the StrategemFX electronic trading system (ETS) met the NFA Compliance Rule 2-36(e), Supervision of the Use of Electronic Trading Systems. During the course of the audit enhancements were made to Strategem’s Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery protocols, but the by the end of the audit it was documented in a 55-page report that StrategemFX meets or exceeds this important standard intended to help forex providers maintain high levels of technical service and trading integrity.

The Bain Markets audit also validated the claim of StrategemFX that it is a true Straight Through Processor (STP), meaning that it does not employ a dealing desk to take positions against its own customers. Testing showed that trades were fully automated transactions, drawing on a minimum of 10 liquidity providers resulting in an average completion time under 2.50 seconds. “Strategem derives its income solely from modest fees per trade without betting against our customers,” said StrategemFX’s Andrew Godfrey. “Our strategy is a novel one in this business: to actually help our clients so we can retain their loyal patronage over the long run.”

FLYING SAUCERS AND PLASMA GENERATORS IN BELIZE

Flying Saucer of 11,000 years ago.
The Indian Sanskrit, Mahjarabata VEDAS talk about some battles in an area today 11,000 years later we call PAKISTAN, and KASHMIR. One side had assistance from aliens, They used atomic weapons and hydrogen blimps with sound motors and other stuff. They also talk about going out to the moon. At that time, the ending of the ICE AGE, that area was lush and verdant. Many rivers from the glaciers of the Himalayas flowed through it. There are even today archeological tourist sites of towns, with running water, plumbing and hot baths, from over 9000 years ago in that area, which today is now desert like ( the major rivers shifted about 9000 years ago, caused by landslides and shifted to what is today India. At any rate the geography shifted, the area lost their rivers and became a desert in our memories anyway. Many of the weapons of that period mentioned in the VEDAS have been rediscovered by the scientists of this century. During the last ICE AGE this area, particularly the famous valley of KASHMIR were kingdoms, protected from the cold by the high wall of the Himalayas. Another ICE AGE CIVILIZATION place was in the Northern PYRENEES of Europe. Warmed by the tropical Gulf Stream and sheltered mountain valleys.

This small fusion plasma generator runs on a small amount of fuel, a hydrogen isotope, called deutrium. This thing can produce a million more times energy than current chemical rockets that send satellites into orbit, or jet planes carrying bombs to war. Earlier article on this blog about this fusion generator, about 10 years away from production.
Let us assume you do get fusion power, ( this is not COLD FUSION, a catalytic heat producing process ), but a plasma electrical generator with a million times the energy and power available from small fuel nano sized grains of powder. With that energy you can produce a magnetic field around a flying saucer. So powerful it can use the electromagnatic field around the EARTH, for propulsion, just like an electric door lock.

One can only wonder will this 5 hp generator, run by super hot plasma, be the engine that will fly a new generation of flying saucers around the moon?

RUSSIA LEADS THE WORLD IN SCIENTIFIC BIOLOGICAL MIND AND NERVOUS SYSTEM WEAPONS. ( PYSCHOTRONIC )

RUSSIAN SCIENTISTS GAVE THE WORLD THE TASER. NOW THEY HAVE A WHOLE BATTERY OF NEW PYSCHOTRONIC WEAPONS THAT EFFECT THE MIND AND CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.


By CHRISTOPHER LEAKE and WILL STEWART
PUBLISHED: 18:08 EST, 31 March 2012 | UPDATED: 18:08 EST, 31 March 2012

Mind-bending ‘psychotronic’ guns that can effectively turn people into zombies have been given the go-ahead by Russian president Vladimir Putin.
The futuristic weapons – which will attack the central nervous system of their victims – are being developed by the country’s scientists.
They could be used against Russia’s enemies and, perhaps, its own dissidents by the end of the decade.

Sources in Moscow say Mr Putin has described the guns, which use electromagnetic radiation like that found in microwave ovens, as ‘entirely new instruments for achieving political and strategic goals’.



Mr Putin added: ‘Such high-tech weapons systems will be comparable in effect to nuclear weapons, but will be more acceptable in terms of political and military ideology.’
Plans to introduce the super- weapons were announced quietly last week by Russian defence minister Anatoly Serdyukov, fulfilling a little-noticed election campaign pledge by president-elect Putin.

Mr Serdyukov said: ‘The development of weaponry based on new physics principles – direct-energy weapons, geophysical weapons, wave-energy weapons, genetic weapons, psychotronic weapons, and so on – is part of the state arms procurement programme for 2011-2020.’
Specific proposals on developing the weapons are due to be drawn up before December by a new Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency.
Research into electromagnetic weapons has been secretly carried out in the US and Russia since the Fifties. But now it appears Mr Putin has stolen a march on the Americans. Precise details of the Russian gun have not been revealed. However, previous research has shown that low-frequency waves or beams can affect brain cells, alter psychological states and make it possible to transmit suggestions and commands directly into someone’s thought processes.
High doses of microwaves can damage the functioning of internal organs, control behaviour or even drive victims to suicide. Anatoly Tsyganok, head of the Military Forecasting Centre in Moscow, said: ‘This is a highly serious weapon.
‘When it was used for dispersing a crowd and it was focused on a man, his body temperature went up immediately as if he was thrown into a hot frying pan. Still, we know very little about this weapon and even special forces guys can hardly cope with it.’

The long-term effects are not known, but two years ago a former major in the Russian foreign intelligence agency, the GRU, died in Scotland after making claims about such a weapons programme to MI6.
Sergei Serykh, 43, claimed he was a victim of weapons which he said were ‘many times more powerful than in the Matrix films’.
Mr Serykh died after falling from a Glasgow tower block with his wife and stepson in March 2010. While his death was assumed to be suicide, his family fear there was foul play.

Last night the Ministry of Defence declined to comment.

Around two-fifteen this afternoon a popular supermarket was robbed in downtown San Ignacio. Celina’s Super Store located at number forty-three Burns Avenue was the target of two armed men. It is reported that robbers walked into the store and pistol-whipped two employees. One of the assailants later held a gun to the head of the owner’s son, demanding money. The robbers later helped themselves to money from the cash register. The men made off with about three thousand seven hundred dollars in cash. The two robbers reportedly, escaped in a getaway car. Reports late this evening say that San Ignacio police have one person detained in connection with this robbery.

BELIZE SCIENTISTS MAKE BREAKTHROUGH IN NATURAL SUSTAINABLE ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION FROM SQUIDS

squid electric power replaces solar panels?

BELIZE MARINE SCIENTISTS MAKE SUCCESSFUL BREAKTHROUGH IN PRODUCING SUSTAINABLE ELECTRICITY AT GLOVERS REEF ATOLL. USING SQUID ELECTRIC SHOCKS TO CHARGE STORAGE BATTERIES
Posted on 01 April 2012 by Sumit Bose
Electric squid power homes

A team of scientists from Belize have succesfully harvested electricity from squid. The invertebrates have been discharging enough bioelectricity to run the lighting and air-conditioning units at the research centre on Glover’s Reef Caye on the Caribbean coast.

The team lead by Dr Dino Vanidici have published their findings in the Journal of Invertebrate Science and believe it could herald a breakthrough in sustainable energy. The researchers used the Belize Rainbow Squid (pictured) which discharges an electric shock equivalent to 202V but has been known to produce up to 380V, they then collected the discharge onto a conductor placed in the pen and used it to charge a capacitor which was connected to a large set of batteries.

Dr Vanidici told ELN: “The squid are kept in pens in the sea and we have about 200 per pen. We have put a small underwater microphone in the sea that sends a signal at a certain frequency that makes the squid discharge their shock onto the conductor. It doesn’t harm the squid and they can keep discharging up to 30 times an hour on average they produce 5A of current.”

“It’s small scale but and we are producing on average 20kW of power per hour and that’s with considerable wastage in the converting process. We’ve used it to power our research facilities and are now trialling the system for a few homes in the nearby village, we believe for small rural fishing communities across Belize and the wider Caribbean this could be a great source of sustainable energy.”

The Rainbow Squid is plentiful in the seas around Belize and has been found across the western Caribbean coastal waters of Mexico, Honduras and as far east as Cuba and the Caymans. If the trials in Belize are successful the project could be duplicated across the region.

Dr Vanidici insisted the squid were not being harmed by constantly discharging their electric shocks: “They use their shocks all the time in nature to navigate and capture prey and even to attract a mate, as they discharge they often change colour hence their name. Animal rights people can say its cruel but its just like a dog barking, the squid do this anyway all the time we are just harnessing mother nature’s gift. Besides they don’t taste good so they are not caught for food here and we have plenty of them that can be used by the fishermen as a source of income.”

But critics still say its a dubious practice. Sheila Granoche of the Belize Aquatic Large Lagoon Society said there was a danger of exploitation: “The Rainbow Squid has its place in the ecosystem and if there is more and more harvesting of them for power it could upset the balance of the seas. I’m all for renewable power but we must not destroy the seas to get it.”
