GOJ in 3D

Lying takes place on a number of levels and dimensions. Politicians are expected to be adept at the art and skill in so-called spin. Government spin serves no purpose unless it has a modicum of credibility. Sadly this JLP administration are either daft or in need of head examinations or both.

The GOJ is in 3D -
deep do do ;
dunce, duncer and duncest;
deceptive, despicable  and dirty.

Did you ever think that "persons within the JLP" could have hatched such a plot without the knowledge, participation and approval of the party hierarchy? Such would of necessity involve at the minimum the party leader, General Secretary and the Treasurer and/or the Deputy Treasurer.

Is then any wonder that the published Samuda's findings failed to mention the role played by the Party Leader in "sanctioning" the hiring of the US law firm Manatt, Phelps and Phillips  (MP&P)? But even more damning is the fact that MP&P would not have been able to engage US officials of the State Department and the Justice Department in talks concerning the extradition treaty between US and Jamaica unless MP&P was officially representing the GOJ.

Was Golding so informed and did he sanction the ruse?

So Brady signed as "Consultant to the Government of Jamaica" was not in any way an error.  The clause in the contract was very specific to avoid any misrepresentation of the authority under which Brady was operating.  The Consultant designation was an essential element of the conspiracy within the JLP to effect lobbying efforts in Washington.

There are more questions being raised by Golding's belated confession.

• When exactly did Golding sanction the initiative?
• Did Golding receive progress reports and issue directives on the initiatives?
• Who were the other co-conspirators within the JLP?
• How were funds amassed - voluntary contributions and/or gentle extortion?
• Were the financial contributors themselves beneficiaries of government contracts/state largesse ?
• Since Christopher "Dudus" Coke would have been the main beneficiary of such main lobbying efforts, what measures were instituted to monitor his participation - financially or otherwise?
• Did the party leader inform the AG, Minister of Justice and the Minister of Foreign Affairs about this parallel political initiative?

The GOJ continues in 3D - denial, desperation and damnation.
