HOW PASSPORT SALES REVENUE IS BEING USED IN THE CARIBBEAN STATES TO REPEATEDLY BUY ELECTIONS TO KEEP CORRUPT LABOUR PARTIES IN POWER

The unfolding scandal involving the arrest of Saint Lucia Housing Minister RICHARD FREDERICK, who wrote thousands of dollars of checks drawn on a government social services agency account, from funds improperly forwarded without specific designation of use, and subsequently without any audit or supervision whatsoever. The recipient of Frederick's repeated payments, which were given for sexual services, according to the allegations, also reportedly performed illegal services for the minister, including acting as his "mule" (courier) or bagman in international travel. Some of the funds come from international donors, which we alluded to in our last article about Frederick's arrest. Frederick may therefore also have criminal liability under the laws of the United Ststes, the UK and other jurisdictions. 

It is the unaudited movement of passport sales funds that is the curse of the Caribbean, as all five of the region's Labour  Parties, in not only St. Lucia, but also in St. Kitts & Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica and Grenada, divert economic passport revenue illegally into multi-thousand dollar bribes of poor lower class voters, each election time placing more cash into their hands than they have even seen in their lives, and repeatedly buying elections for Labour, and perpetuating one-party autocracies, indefinitely. 

We will be analyzing precisely how Saint Lucia's Prime Minister Philipe J. Pierre, and his ruling Labour Party, obscenely use passport sales money to remain in power in succeeding articles.
