NATIONAL LEADERS FROM ST. KITTS, GRENADA AND BARBADOS FAILURE TO RESPOND TO SYMBOLIC THREAT HAS NOT GONE UNNOTICED BY THE UNITED STATES

The leaders of the now polarized Caribbean nations have now lined up on one side or the other; one side is composed of states politically aligned with the United States, and the other of countries that have chosen to affiliate with the autocracies of Venezuela, China and Cuba. Unfortunately, for financial, self-serving or philosophical reasons, all five of the EC states that offer economic citizenships have seen fit to throw in their lot with the dictatorships of the world, and such associations have consequences in Washington, which their leaders must certainly realize.
Recently, the President of Venezuela, DELCY RODRIGUEZ, held meetings abroad with the Prime Ministers of both Grenada and Barbados, and at those public meetings, she prominently wore a controversial brooch that featured a map of her native country's discredited claim to a large portion of territory of neighboring Guyana, which is a close associate of the United States. This bold display of a known Venezuelan territorial claim that was found to be without legal merit in 1899 is a thinly-disguised military threat to an American ally. 
Bogus territorial claims are how wars start, and dictators often advance them against weaker nations, resulting in armed conflicts that kill thousands, and destroy peacetime economies. This is not the future anyone wants for the Caribbean. 
To make matters worse, public complaints made to the current leader of the regional alliance, CARICOM, St.Kitts & Nevis PM TERRANCE DREW, have been completely ignored; Drew is a known ally and supporter of Venezuela, Cuba and China. CARICOM is supposed to support territorial integrity of its members, and peaceful solutions in the region. Drew's inaction shows his political alliance with the dictatorship in Venezuela trumps his duty and loyalty. He has essentially and arrogantly betrayed the members of CARICOM. 
And do not think for one moment that the U.S. State Department did not see that MIA MOTTLEY, DICKON MITCHELL and TERRANCE DREW have chosen sides with the Venezuelan autocracy, and that their cooperation with Venezuela, in the past and presently, did not go unnoticed in the greater diplomatic scheme of things. It was noticed throughout the Caribbean as well.

WE UNSCRAMBLE THE DISINFORMATION FROM MONTREAL MANAGEMENT REGARDING ITS DOMINICA LITIGATION

Given the apparent confusion amidst the public in Dominica, to the circumstances surrounding the Montreal Management case against the Government there, I find it necessary and proper to clear the air. Conflicting statements from MMC and Government, and the lack of truth from both, compel me to detail what has actually happened in the litigation.

A fair reading of the filing, styled "Notice of Discontinuance," by MMC's attorney, Dawn Yearwood-Stewart, which is, in truth and in fact, a notice of voluntary dismissal, shows:

(1) It is without prejudice, meaning that it can be refiled tomorrow if MMC so chooses. Note that it was hurriedly filed on 22 May, only after news of the Dominica Police investigation broke.

(2) It is NOT an adjudication on the merits, only a pause in the proceedings.
(

3) If you read the actual language of the filing, it is ONLY effective as to defendants RANGE MARINA DEVELOPMENTS LTD and ABL HOLDINGS LTDA, and not as to the two principal defendants, the GOVERNMENT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF DOMINICA, and the PERMANENT SECRETARY OF THE OFFICE OF THE PRIME MINISTER.This is not a dismissal as to all party defendants.


Now, let's look at the MMC Press Release; it"formally confirms that no legal proceedings or arbitrations ARE CURRENTLY IN EFFECT against the Government of Dominica." This is incorrect, as the Government was never dismissed from the litigation. Additionally, we are hearing that the people of Dominica are being told that to suit was ever filed. This is untrue, and a misstatement of material fact; MMC has definitely underestimated the intelligence of Dominican voters,

Also, we have learned that Dominica's Prime Minister, ROOSEVELT SKERRIT, is also claiming that the case was dismissed. Nonsense; it still exists as to the two principal defendants I mentioned above, including the Government of Dominica. 

These statements are all a political smokescreen, intended to distract the public from the sordid truth of recent events.

GLOBAL CBI SCANDAL PART 3: THE "UAE CITIZENSHIP" FRAUD – A DIRECT AFFRONT TO THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES BY AN IRANIAN NATIONAL RESIDING IN DUBAI

NEDA AZARMEHR

Investigative analysis has uncovered a reckless and potentially criminal deception by Neda Azarmehr and her firm, Cross Border Freedom. By promoting a completely non-existent "UAE Citizenship by Investment" program, complete with fabricated financial requirements (AED 10M investment and AED 5M contribution), Azarmehr has crossed a dangerous line.

The Truth: There is NO such program. The United Arab Emirates has never launched a commercial Citizenship-by-Investment (CBI) program. While the UAE recently amended its nationality laws, citizenship is granted exclusively through nomination by the Rulers’ Courts or the Cabinet for exceptional individuals (doctors, scientists, and elite investors). It is not—and has never been—a product for sale by migration agents.

WILL GASTON BROWNE'S ANTIGUA INTRODUCE EBOLA INTO THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE THIS MONTH?

Today, the first 2026 nonstop flights NIGERIA-BARBADOS-ANTIGUA  on the Nigerian carrier  Air Peace, are scheduled to land. Whether these flights result in the accidental introduction of EBOLA into  the Caribbean, and hence into all of the Western Hemisphere is a clear and present danger, given how chaotic the last time such flights came into the region, we fear the worst. The fact that visa-free admission into BARBADOS, the first stop, will increase the chances that the fatal disease enters the West Indies. 

These flights should be cancelled forthwith, lest we all end up paying for Antigua Prime Minister GASTON BROWNE'S greed and avarice, in allowing such high-risk flights to land. Antiguans will end up paying the price, in sick and dying citizens, unless something  is done about it now.

HUMAN TRAFFICKING INTO ANTIGUA AND BARBADOS, VIA SCHEDULED AIRLINE SERVICE FROM AFRICA, RETURNS TOMORROW

THE REAL STORY BEHIND HOW MMCE TRIED TO OBTAIN A CBI MONOPOLY IN DOMINICA, AND THAT THE BATTLE IS NOT OVER

We wanted to follow up quickly on unfolding developments in Dominica, because things have moved at a rapid pace since the police investigation started. When the Government of Dominica opened a criminal investigation into Anthony Haiden and MMCE in response to the controversy, the company and its owner reportedly panicked immediately; Right after the investigation was initiated, MMCE quickly withdrew its Petition against the Government of Dominica on the 22nd, regarding the Attorney General, the Permanent Secretary, Range Developments, and ABL Holdings. Gone. MMCE also issued a retraction letter publicly stating they have no case against the Government of Dominica.

Unfortunately, the devil is in the details. What the deceptive MMCE press release did not disclose is that the filing, captioned " Notice of Discontinuance," filed by its attorney, DAWN YEARWOOD-STEWART, was a dismissal WITHOUT PREJUDICE. For the non-lawyers, it means MMCE is free to refile its Petition, without sustaining any effect regarding its claims and demands in present or future legal or administrative proceedings. Therefore, its PR efforts are not what they seem to be, and Dominicans should be aware of this fine legal point.

Now, an important clarification on the so-called "side letter" that MMCE was relying on to claim exclusive rights over all CBI projects; It's not a fabrication in the traditional sense. The letter does exist and was apparently signed by a staff member within the CBI unit. However, it carries no legal authority whatsoever. as It was never forwarded through the proper governmental channels, never approved through due process, and has no binding legal effect, in my humble opinion reinforced by decades of legal experience in the Caribbean. So, while it's a government document with a real signature, it's being treated as effectively fraudulent, because it was presented as something it was not. What Haiden appears to have done is take an ordinary internal letter from a low-level CBI staff member and attempt to leverage it as if it were an official government mandate granting him exclusive control. That was a serious miscalculation, and there will be consequences.

It's possible the government will wind down the investigation now that Mr. Haiden has backed off and is now beseeching the government to stop the investigation, but the damage has been done. His relationship with the Dominican government is, by all accounts, ccording to my sources, beyond repair. The practical consequences are likely to be felt going forward in how MMCE's CBI applications are handled. The expectation is that the CBI unit will now scrutinize each and every MMCE submission far more aggressively. Applications could also face administrative delays, due to a heightened review for errors, or outright rejection. MMCE may still be authorized to operate on paper, but in practice, many prominent Dominicans now believe that Haiden's misconduct has made himself radioactive with their government.

HUMAN TRAFFICKING INTO ANTIGUA AND BARBADOS, VIA SCHEDULED AIRLINE SERVICE FROM AFRICA, RETURNS TOMORROW

For those readers not keeping a close watch on the Caribbean, tomorrow marks the reintroduction of scheduled nonstop airline service between Nigeria and Antigua & Barbuda; the controversial Nigerian carrier AIR PEACE, will commencing May 24, offer twice a month Boeing 777 flights from Murtala Muhammed international Airport in Lagos, arriving at Grantley Adams International Airport in Barbados, and V.C. Bird International Airport in Antigua.

I trust that I have your attention; the last time such nonstop service was operational in 2022-2023, over 900 passengers arrived from Nigeria, and the flights sparked public outcry, amid valid concerns that individuals were being exploited and illegally funneled into the Caribbean. The Government of Antigua opened 25 investigations into sex trafficking, labour trafficking, and unspecified forms of exploitation. There is a U.S. State Department Report on that case: "2024 Trafficking in Persons Report: Antigua and Barbuda" https://lnkd.in/e6jwTR9K

While Antigua has since those early flights increased certain requirements of arriving passengers, we seriously doubt that, in a country where customs and immigration is notorious for accepting bribes and kickbacks, that traffickers will not be able to evade the additional measures since laid on. Additionally, and more ominously, there are reportedly zero restrictions and requirements for arriving African passengers coming into Barbados visa-free, due to policies instituted by Prime Minister Maria Amor Mottley, and there are concerns that this loophole will be exploited by professional human traffickers.

For those readers not from the United States, please note that the owner of Air Peace, the Nigerian lawyer, ALLEN ONYEMA, is under indictment and wanted in the United States on Federal criminal charges; since 2019, for Money Laundering and Bank Fraud, and since 2024, for Obstruction of Justice. The airline's Chief of Administration and Finance, Ejiroghene Eghagha, is also wanted on the same charges, and another codefendant has previously pled guilty for her role in the scheme. Given Onyema's close personal relationship with Antigua Prime Minister GASTON BROWNE, most legal observers believe that local law enforcement will choose to ignore any evidence of human trafficking into and through Antigua.

Allen Onyema

The U.S. Department of State, which has placed serious visa restrictions on Antiguan passport holders, will not be pleased to see that the country is about to again become a facilitator of human trafficking. We will be monitoring the situation, to see whether it will result in a further increase restrictions or sanctions upon Antigua and Barbuda.

ALARMING DEVELOPMENTS IN DOMINICA THAT COULD IMPACT CBI PASSPORT HOLDERS; WILL THEY LOSE THEIR CITIZENSHIP STATUS?

There are important developments out of Dominica that I believe you will find significant, particularly as they relate to the Citizenship by Investment programme there. As you may know, Anthony Haiden, the owner of Dubai-based MMCE (Montreal Management Consultants LLC), has filed a petition in the High Court of Dominica. He has named as defendants a long list of respondents: the Government of Dominica, the Attorney General, the Permanent Secretary, Range Developments, and ABL Holdings.

To give you the background on the parties involved: Range Developments is the company that built the Kempinski Hotel on the island and is currently developing a marina project. ABL Holdings is the company constructing the Cable Car project in Dominica. MMCE, for its part, is handling the Dominica International Airport project.

The crux of Haiden's petition is that he's claiming MMCE should be the sole/exclusive authorized agent/developer for selling citizenships tied to CBI development projects in Dominica. He's essentially arguing that neither Range Developments nor ABL Holdings should have any authority to market or process CBI applications for the respective construction projects.

Here's where it gets interesting. This move has not gone over well locally. There's real anger on the ground haa come from the voters. Members of the public are calling on the government to cancel MMCE's license outright; Some are going even further, demanding that citizenships issued through MMCE be revoked, citing what they see as conduct that runs against what has been described as the National Interest. The prevailing local sentiment is that Haiden overplayed his hand. Range Developments already has a completed Kempinski hotel. ABL Holdings is close to finishing the Cable Car, and rather than staying in his lane with the airport project, Haiden has tried to claim exclusive rights over the entire CBI pipeline. That kind of overreach tends to backfire, and it appears to have done exactly that.

There's a real possibility that individuals who obtained their Dominican citizenship through MMCE could find themselves in serious jeopardy, potentially facing revocation of their citizenship status through no fault of their own. The legal battle Haiden has picked with the government is not one he's likely to win quietly, and there's talk that he could face arrest in Dominica for allegedly presenting fraudulent documents (Side letter) that claim all CBI-related projects must be channeled exclusively through MMCE. My sources in the country have advised that the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force have registered a case against him for the creation of fake & forged documents, which brings with it a high possibility of him getting arrested if he enters Dominica.

It's worth noting this isn't Haiden's first run-in with document-related legal trouble; He has prior history in Dubai. In May 2024, a CBI applicant named Rasha Ahmed Mohammed Almukhtar filed a case in Dubai accusing Haiden and an associate, reportedly a Syrian national named Aya Ghattas, of forgery and fraud in connection with her Dominican citizenship application. The allegation was that Haiden and MMCE submitted forged documents on her behalf and deceived her throughout the process. That case resulted in a three-month prison sentence for Hayden.

Stay tuned for more information, regarding unfolding developments in Dominica, on this crucial story.

HOW AMERICAN PRONOUNCEMENT OF CUBA AS A NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT TRANSLATES INTO A GROWING PROBLEM FOR THE EASTERN CARIBBEAN STATES

This week's statement, by the American Secretary of State Marco Rubio, to the effect that the United States, as a matter of policy, regards the Republic of Cuba as a National Security Threat, will directly impact the five Eastern Caribbean states that were already regarded by the State Department as problematic, due to their corrupt CBI programs, which have funneled application funds containing the Proceeds of Crime through American correspondent bank accounts.

Given that President Trump has essentially ruled out diplomacy in its dealings with what it has deemed as an uncooperative Cuban national government, and moved military assets in the Caribbean, including a carrier group, closer to Cuba's shores, expect some level of American action against Cuba this summer. The five Eastern Caribbean states, which each have some level of Cuban nationals within their borders, in embassies, as trainers and advisors to law enforcement, as medical teams, as political advisors, and as construction project supervisors and contractors, could find themselves even more alienated from a United States exerting its influence upon the Communist Cuban regime. Whether this will translate into the abrupt closing of correspondent bank accounts in New York and Miami, more visa sanctions, or restrictions placed on American vacation visitors into the Caribbean we cannot say, but there most likely will be adverse consequences for the Caribbean, especially since some notably pro-Cuba Caribbean leaders have been quite outspoken as protesting America's efforts to reform the Cuban political model.

LITIGATION IN SINT MAARTEN REMINDS US THAT DOMINICA IS STILL SELLING DIPLOMATIC PASSPORTS TO DODGY BUYERS

If you monitor Caribbean media, you may have read that the French luxury brand LOUIS VUITTON is suing the Italian casino owner FRANCESCO CORALLO's Sint Maarten Vegas Casino, for the unlawful of its trademarked designs and logos throughout the casino. A local court has reportedly frozen $350,000 of casino profits, during the pending litigation, which to me demonstrates that the plaintiff may have a solid claim for damages for the illegal use of intellectual property. There are also reported allegations of money laundering and tax evasion, linked to the casino owner's operations in other jurisdictions.

What has surfaced, and what is extremely disturbing is the fact that, back in 2011, the Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Dominica appointed CORALLO the country's Ambassador to the United Nations agency, the FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION (FAO), which made him a Dominican diplomat under the privileges and immunities that such a position conveys. The position carries with zero diplomatic responsibilities, as the FAO only meets once every two years, and its global headquarters in in Rome, which is convenient for Corallo.

The appointment is only one of several that Dominica's Prime Minister, ROOSEVELT SKERRIT, has made to foreign nationals, under suspicious circumstances where it is alleged that illegal consideration may have been accepted to secure it. We have previously reported on several similar appointments, all made by Skerrit, and which are probably violate the requirements of the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, of which all UN members are signatories. The abuse of diplomatic passports by those five Eastern Caribbean states that also sell Citizenship by Investment (CBI/CIP) passports has not gone unnoticed by the United States, and has reportedly contributed to American suspicions, and restrictions, imposed, or threatened, on those EC states, especially Dominica and Antigua, both of whom have had dubious diplomatic passport-issuing practices for decades.
