The Deaths of Politicians and Other Enablers Do Not Mean Acts of Economic e Plunder Should Never be  Overlooked! 


A prominent unresolved controversy centers on the lack of transparency and accountability regarding the late Antigua Labor Party (ALP) prime minister, Lester Bird, and former MP Asot Michael. 

Their deaths add to a history of other enablers who empowered elites to establish the current gangs of ALP robber barons, allowing them to enrich themselves for over six decades. 

Therefore, a thorough investigation into their accumulated wealth is essential to return those funds to the public treasury. 

The influence of the ALP is deeply rooted, stemming from its control of the executive branch and conflicts of interest. 

Although no final verdict has been reached, it is widely acknowledged that the estates of these individuals should compensate for all illegal dealings and set a precedent for others whose fates seem sealed. 

Power is fleeting; it does not last forever. The focus must remain on ongoing corruption, financial misconduct, and potential quid pro quo arrangements involving top officials, corporations, and the many political "who-galist" who currently benefit at taxpayers' expense, often ignoring the suffering of the masses. 

The recorded conversation between Bird and Michael is central, revealing troubling misconduct and demanding public accountability. 

This narrative exposes a deeply rooted culture of corruption involving figures such as Norman Wexelman, Josette Michael, and the corrupt Ambassador Ronald Michael Sanders. 

Their alleged involvement in real estate transactions, including the scandalous sale of 

Thousands of acres of land and other properties raise serious concerns about the integrity of public officials. 

These actions heighten public frustration with political decay and the perceived lack of justice for economic crimes. 

Asot Michael's questioning of Bird during their conversation, especially about Wexelman's possible incarceration, highlights the seriousness of these allegations. 

Bird’s candid admission reveals a troubling reality: those involved may escape accountability. 

Despite mounting evidence, public apathy toward these issues remains strong. 

Investigative efforts, notably by Antigua Observer and Caribarena, have uncovered widespread corruption involving government officials and certain business figures. 

Documents such as the Bob Lindquist Report link Josette Michael to questionable financial activities involving Bird, suggesting a complex web of deception and financial manipulation designed to shield powerful individuals from legal consequences. 

Additionally, the IMF has expressed concerns about large-scale embezzlement in publicly led investments, including projects such as the Royal Antiguian Hotel and Mount St. John's Medical Center, which appear to serve more personal interests than public needs. 


Overall, the taped conversation has intensified ongoing debates about ALP corruption, prompting renewed calls for civic responsibility and action against political misconduct, with an urgent demand for justice and transparency in governance.

Antigua SIDS4 Conference: Pressing Environmental Issues in Antigua and Barbuda By Kwame Nkosi Romeo The ALP administration never discussed climate change; only when it became a source of money did the ALP government, led by prime minister Gaston Browne and the Antigua and Barbuda Ambassador to the US Ronald Michael Sanders, start to scheme and speechify about it.   Both greedily jumped on the climate change bandwagon with cap in hand, talking about the disastrous consequences of climate change. ALP offers no responsible environmental governance regarding the dynamics of climate change, only ecological degradation!  The citizenry campaigned against Browne's environmental terrorism, particularly the ecological damage caused by Peace Love and Happiness (PLH) in Barbuda, YIDA, WISEZ, and the Public Works Department (PWD) in Antigua! So the notoriously infamous Antigua and Barbuda Ambassador to the US, Ronald Michael Sanders's observation is deceptive propaganda and the worst ...
