The key to Victory


He who fights against himself will never win, for he creates and enemy of and with himself;
The one he must protect and defend, therefore he defeat the sole purpose for which to fight.
The one who rage war against himself will, shall and will become a victim of his own victory.
He who fight against himself will lose the war even before the first battle began.

He who do not understand the battle will lose the war, he will become a victims of his ignorance;
For he failed to prepare himself to meet the challenges ahead, challenges he was destined to confront.
A victim several time over, a victim of defeat, a victim of his neglect and a victim of himself.
For he fail to understand that which, it was his duty and responsibility to know.

He who do not understand the war, can still be victorious. But only if he fights each battle on its merits.
You must be careful to utilize only the resources needed to secure a victory;
Always putting forward your best, fighting the war one battle at a time; focusing on the present battle.
Overcoming tomorrow’s obstacles, fighting tomorrow’s battles and looking forward to tomorrow’s victories only after today have ended.

Were the Garifunas Betrayed by the Kalinargos


After many years of trying, the British finally managed to conquer the St. Vincent and the Grenadines indigenous people (SIP) the Kalinago and the Garifuna. This unfortunate occurrence leave many question unanswered. The primary of which is: what changes have occurred within the SIP community that could have so drastically weaken the SIP, to the point where their conquest could have been so swift and so costly.

We know that there was a peace treaty reach between England and the SIP, and they were expected to exist on the island together. However it is this author believes the peace treaty that was sign, was part of the English plan to lure the SIP into a state of peace until the requested troops have arrived. Once the promised troops arrived in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, then the treaty would have fulfilled its purpose; which was to reduce the English causality, during the time it would have taken for the request for troop’s re-enforcement to reach the island.

So the peace treaty was just an English Strategy of war and the SIP bore the penalty for their trust they placed in the white English tyrant, and soon discovered that the words of their un-pigmented (white) associates had not real significant or value. But their kind words and friendly smiles were just a means to an end. They were men driven by a tremendous lust to become wealthy at any cost and as soon as possible, and they were willing and able to do anything to accomplish their objective.

They (the English colonizers) have left friends and family behind and it was their intent to return to their homes as soon as possible, with the wealth that will give them and their families the privilege the wealthy enjoy and the recognition of the throne.

The behavior of the English after they conquered the SIP is laced with red flag that presented a series of new unanswered question, answer which lay hidden in the mountain of files in the British archives. For more than two hundred years plus years the two distinct fractions that made up the SIP had proven to be an unbeatable force that defeated the English and the French every time they try lay claim on, in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

However, after the SIP was conquered and captured, there was a mark difference in the why the British treated the Kalinago and the Garifuna the inhabitant and defender of the group of Island that made up St. Vincent. While the Kalinargo were pushed to the dense and rocky north each of the mainland of St. Vincent, the Garifuna men, women and children were in turn shipped to a small barren island to the south of St. Vincent: Balliceaux. Balliceaux is an island south of the Main Island St. Vincent, with scarce vegetation and animal life, no fresh water source and no ready supply of food. On this island many hundreds of Garifuna die from starvation. However when the English who inhabited St. Vincent and the Grenadines was pressure by fellow colonist of different island and other nationality the Garifuna was banished to Roatan Honduras.

Why did the Garifuna suffered so harshly when compared to their Kalinago brothers and sisters. I have concluded that the Kalinargo people struct a deal with the British unknowing to the Garifuna and they betray and abandoned their Garifuna sibling and did not participated in the final war against the British. Thus weaken the Garifuna fighting force and also diminished their fighting ability. As a result the Garifuna were outnumbered, out maneuvered, and out gunned by the English deceivers. What was promised, what were the conditions of betrayal and did the British kept their words. The answers are waiting to be unearthed in the English archives.


We must also be mindful that the English have embellished aspect of the events that occurred to be viewed as heroes and become the benefit of reward and recognition from the throne.

I will stand like a brave

I will stand like a brave, in the shadows of my fathers,
with the courage to rage a war and the willingness to be a Martyr. 
As Paramount as Garifuna, no time to be contrite;
We will use the glory of the battle, for the strength with which to fight.
I will never shout surrender, for I am far too proud to run,
I've resolved to fight to the death or until the war is won.


I will stand like a brave, not afraid to face the enemy,
For when the war is done, you will have no choice but to remember me.
I will not wait for you to come, I bring the fight right to your door,
and when you say surrender I will fight with you some more.
For I am not afraid to stand, I am not afraid to fight,
I am not afraid to die for what I know is right.


I will all stand like the braves, and face all of our foe;
when the battle is won the thrill of victory we will know.
This battle is worth fighting, so it’s worth fighting well;
In this fight for justice we will give them hell.
Though afraid we are courageous, we will never give in;
in this fight for the future, we have got to win.

PM Ralph E. Gonsalves actions against this blog


You may have notice some problem with the different font size and in some cases jumbled paragraphs. Please accept my apology for the different size front and the jumbled paragraph spacing that appear on this blog. I have corrected this on several occasion. However this is as a result of the actions of the agents of Prime Minister’s Ralph E. Gonsalves, the Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, of whom I am his greatest political critic. My criticism of Mr. Gonsalves is based on the truth about his personal behavior, his ethics and or lack thereof and his mismanagement of St. Vincent and the Grenadines (Yurumein) resources.

As a result of my honest critique of the Prime Minister, He have dedicated his the Country’s (St. Vincent and the Grenadines) resources to undermine mu efforts. From obtaining employment to distorting my writings if they can access them. They have hacked this blog and created the distortions.


List of blogs the have deleted: Allan H. F. Palmer Policing 121, Allan H. F Palmer: Expressions,



Gonsalves hates the Garifuna people of whom I am number among the decedents of St. Vincent and the Grenadines the remnant Garifuna. Gonsalves people are able to so hack this because the email address to which this blog is link is tied into one on which I link my android apparatuses.

Unapologetic Garifuna

Unapologetic I stand, don't expect me to be sorry for who I am;
Because my heritage makes me inherently strong,
Totally unstoppable, like the mighty river that runs into the sea,
I can feel the awesome glory of Garafuna flowing within me.
So I stand independent of thought, keeping full ownership of my mind.
Never forgetting pass glories, our heroes and the banishment of time.
The spirits of warriors passed, a people courageous and strong,
The spirit of a nation, oppressed for far too long.
They stripped us of our homeland, tried to tear us apart,
They couldn’t rip the love I had for Yurumein from my heart.
We still tell the stories of the people over the seas,
There lives a remnants of our people where Garifunas are free.
So defiant I stand, when my people’s plight I remember,
Unapologetic I proclaim; I am Garifuna!


There is a portrait of genocide still fresh in my mind,
Why haven't my wounds healed with the passage of time?
A true Garifuna will never be a slaves,
So give Garifunas liberty or give us the grave!
Not freedom as you wish but the freedom that we know,
Where our culture will evolve and the people will grow.
You can't have our dignity, our culture and you can’t have our land,
Unafraid to do battle so defiant we stand.
Your swords weren't sharp enough, your muskets weren’t strong enough,
Starvation couldn't destroy us and banishment couldn't stop us from rising
Glorious, even when we did not win we reigned victorious.
And though our blood, the soil of Yurumein has stained,
The spirit of Garifuna undoubtedly remains.
Defiant I stand, in the shadows of my father,
Unapologetic I proclaim; I am Garifuna.


Who are the Caribs and the Arawaks?


The Carib and the Arawak, are the names that was given to the original settlers of the Caribbean, by those European; who settled the Caribbean, after the first aborigine people had settled and lived there a free people and in peace for centuries. They existed amongst themselves, freely utilizing the resources that were available. The fertile land on which they planted their food and the sea where they harvested the rich bounty that live and made the sea their home.

The peace loving Kalinargo the original islanders befriend the strangers, and even though, the European were not required to lift a stroke in resistance, against the original settlers of these islands paradises, that is now known as the Caribbean (a name that find its origin in the given name to the original settlers the Caribs), the European did what was common to conquerors, the first acts of the European was: to change the name of the people living on the islands and they changed the name of Islands as well.


As is expected, there were members of the Kalinargo Community who, were suspicious of the European visitors and did not want to have anything to do with the outsiders. However this group accepted the decisions of the elders and other leaders, but they did not extend a hand of friendship to the new settlers Those members of the Kalinargo community, took the liberty, to sabotage the comfort of the European settlers; with the hopes that they will move on.

This led the European settlers to mentally divide the Kalinargo into two groups, and a record were made to justify them exercising their tyrannical behaviors, which was their first intent, upon the original settlers.



The name that was given to the members of the Kalinargo Community, who opposed the tribal embracing of the foreigners by the Kalenargos were: Caribs. The European settler called the unfriendly Kalinargo: Caribs, and without any evidence, they accuse and documented the Caribs, as extremely hostile people who practices cannibalism. They said that the Caribs delighted in eating the flesh of others humans, especially their enemies.



Those members of the Kalinargo Community who embraced and befriended the European, were called the Arawaks. The Arawaks were described as peace loving people, who did not like war as the Caribs did, and did not practice Cannibalism.

Later, when the settlers in the new world, got the right away to use slave labor to enrich their sponsors and themselves, the European quickly became unable to distinguish between the Caribs and the Arawaks. At this point of their settlement, it did not served their purpose to remember those Kalinargo who befriend them, but both the so-call Caribs and Arawaks were enslaved under the name Caribs and they were used in the production of Cotton, sugar and tobacco etc.

To justify the absence of the peace loving Arawaks from the entire Caribbean, to visiting officials from their countries, it is recorded on the pages of colonial history, of the Caribbean that the Caribs conquered and wiped-out the entire Arawak communities.



In my opinion, the word Carib and the characteristic that were unjustly, associated with this proud people, indicated that the word Carib, was a word that was given to the Caribbean Indigenous People (CIP) as a means of degrading them. Therefore, I rather use the term Caribbean or St. Vincent Indigenous People (CIP or the SIP), hen referring to these dignify people of the Caribbean. In the case of St. Vincent, I use the handle St. Vincent Indigenous People (SIP) to which encapsulate the Garifuna and the Kalinago. The use of word Carib or the terms SIP are personal






The Making of a Garifuna

The indigenous people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines became a diverse but united nation. This was what happened to the Kalinago community, after 1635. In the same manner there were members of the Kalinago community, who did not trusted the European. They did not want the Kalinago nation, to have anything to do with any outsiders. The same thing happened to the survivors of the two Spanish slaves ships laden with slaves that came from the West African course, which became wreck, off the course of St. Vincent. There were some sects within the Kalinago Community, who were suspicions of all outsiders; and they were right to be suspicions. When the ship wreck survivors, arrived on the biggest and more fertile of the island: St. Vincent, they were helped, but they were not fully embraced by the Kalinago community right away.


The true nature of the Kalinago, was that of which the European described the Arawaks to be. The Kalinago were naturally friendly people, who were quick to embrace and help others; especially, people who were in distressed. They helped the European, who did not understood the best farming techniques to be employed in the part of the world to yield the best results. They also did not understood the climate and Geography of the islands. They also did not understood the reef layout of the Caribbean seas and the weather of the new part of the world, where they ended up by accident.


The Ship wreck survivors, of the 1635 ship wreck, were in a completely strange part of the world. They ended up on extremely small but partially barren islands, surrounded by the sea. A place whose geography, climate, people and the way of life they knew nothing about. They did not have any food, water or tools. As a result, they became completely dependent on the Kalinago people. The survivors of the ship wreck, depended on the Kalinago people for food, water and transportation from the smaller, less fertile islands, which today is known as the Grenadines, to the biggest of the island which was called St. Vincent by the British. On St. Vincent there were a ready supply of food growing naturally, there were also small plots of Kalinago cultivation deep in the forest, as well as the larger fields owned by the Europeans.


The total reliant on the Kalinago people and the Kalinagos willingness to help the ship wreck survivors, cause the survivors to develop an unbreakable gratitude towards and for the Kalinago people. As a result of the level of Gratitude the survivors showed the Kalinago people; helped the Kalinago people to disown the difference between their new friends and their Colonial oppressors, who came to them wearing the mask of friendship, but ended up enslaving the peaceful, helpful and friendly Kalinago people. The Kalinago people came to understand that their news friends possessed a totally different spirit (a good spirit) to that of their European enslavers, who greatly betrayed their trust. It was this understanding that forged an unbreakable friendship between the two groups.


Later, the custom of the Kalinago people, once again benefited the Ship wreck survivors. In the Kalinago Culture, it was shameful for men in the community to go unwed. Since the survivors and the Kalinagos now share the same space, and almost everything else, which included a common enemy, they were considered a part of the Kalinago community and as a result, the ship wreck survivors were allowed to married into the Kalinago nations. The children that were born to these mixed union were known as the Garifuna.
