COMPLIANCE OFFICERS DON'T RELY UPON "FACTS" IN CARIBBEAN MEDIA, BECAUSE IT'S MOST LIKELY GENERATED IN GOVERNMENT-CONTROLLED PRESS, AND IS PURE PROPAGANDA

If you read my recent article "WHILE SAINT KITTS PRIME MINISTER, TERRANCE DREW, IS BEING WINED AND DINED IN CUBA, HIS NATIONAL SECURITY APPARATUS THREATENS FREEDOM OF SPEECH AT HOME,  https://rijock.blogspot.com/2025/05/while-prime-minister-is-wined-and-dined.html

you know that Freedom of the Press is virtually non-existent in local Eastern Caribbean print media, due to the financial ability of governments in power to dole out revenue-producing official advertising to cash-strapped newspapers, as well as threats of yes, criminal prosecution for Defamation of local elected or appointed leaders. the leaders follow Chinese, Cuban and Venezuelan methods of controlling dissent through telling media what to publish, or face serious legal issues.

If you are a compliance officer performing due diligence on a target with a Caribbean nexus, ignore what amount to planced content, which is often misleading or distorted, and definitely untrue, or you may be taken in by a rosy picture which is pure fiction, to your bank's subsequent detriment.

On the other hand, there is a lot of Opposition media, all online and generally safe from oppressive autocratic regimes, which is often extremely valuable, so long as you know which is trustworthy, and which is pure government propaganda.
