PENSION- 50 FOR THEM, 67 FOR THE PEOPLE, THIS IS NOT FAIRNESS, THIS IS BETRAYAL

 

Let’s call this what it is, a set-up.
In Barbados, politicians can access pension benefits at 50 years old, while the people they claim to serve must wait until 67, with plans to push that to 68 by 2034. Two standards. One rulebook for them, another for the people. That is not leadership. That is privilege wrapped in policy.

Ask yourself: why the rush to secure comfort for politicians, and the constant delay for the people?
Why is the pensionable age for ordinary workers, people who labor for decades, who build, clean, teach, heal, and carry the weight of the nation, pushed further and further out of reach? Why design a system where some may never live long enough to receive what they paid into all their lives?

This isn’t accidental. It’s intentional.

Politicians stand on podiums and look into cameras promising to “protect the elderly” and “serve the people.” Yet their actions tell a very different story. Their policies do not protect; they postpone. They do not serve; they secure themselves first. This is not help, it is treason against the trust of the people.

How can anyone enjoy their pension when the government keeps moving the finish line?
How can dignity in old age exist when the age of access is deliberately pushed beyond reach, while politicians quietly enjoy early pensions funded by the very people they burden?

Let’s be clear: there is nothing special about a politician.
No divine status. No superior labor. No moral exemption. They are not above the nurse, the mason, the vendor, the teacher, the sanitation worker. Yet the law treats them as if they are. That is one-sided legislation, and it exposes exactly where the government’s interests lie, with themselves.

If fairness truly mattered, the rule would be simple and equal:
One pensionable age. For everyone.
Government and people alike. No shortcuts. No special lanes. No quiet benefits for those in power while the masses are told to wait, and wait, and wait some more.

And while the people struggle, watch how easily funds flow to corporations, elites, and the already wealthy. Watch how fast doors open for friends of friends, family connections, sidekicks, and insiders. But when do the people ask for relief? Silence. Delays. Excuses.

That is a devious act.

A government that pulls money closer to itself while pushing the people’s benefits further away does not have the people’s best interests at heart. It is a government focused on self-preservation, even if it means the people fail, suffer, or never collect what is rightfully theirs.

So, the question remains, and it demands an answer:
Why should politicians enjoy pensions at 50 while the people must wait until 67, soon 68?
What justifies this imbalance? What moral ground supports it?

There is none.

This is not fairness.
They do not care.
This is betrayal dressed up as policy.

And the people deserve better.

How much more does the government want from the people?
Taxes are already beyond high, yet price gouging is happening at every turn. Food, utilities, rent, fuel, everything is rising, and the burden is always placed on the small man. Every honest attempt to create something, to hustle, to survive, to help oneself is met with another tax, another fee, another hand reaching into empty pockets.

This is no longer governance; it feels like extraction.
The people are squeezed from every angle, while relief is nowhere in sight. Unfairness has become policy, betrayal has become routine, and theft has been normalized under the name of law. The question the people are left asking is simple and painful: when does it end?

Election Season Theater: When Power Suddenly Pretends to Care

Every time elections draw near, governments and politicians put on the same tired performance. Suddenly, they’re everywhere. 

Jumping. Dancing. Laughing. Partying. Drinking with the people. Hugging babies. Shaking hands. Pretending they’ve always been close, always been listening, always been present.

Where was this energy before the election season?
Where was this concern when the cameras were off?

Election time exposes the hypocrisy in full daylight.

This is the season of vote-baiting, where dignity is insulted, intelligence is underestimated, and the people are treated like they have no memory. Votes are bought with cash, food, liquor, favors, and empty smiles. 

Broken promises are recycled, repackaged, and resold as if they were brand new. The audacity is staggering.

When elections are near, governments suddenly “remember”:

• Roads need fixing
• Clean water should flow to communities neglected for years
• Fuel prices should drop
• Pensioners need relief
• The needy deserve support

All the things they ignored, delayed, dismissed, and explained away for years, now magically become “urgent.” Not because they care, but because they want votes.

These are not solutions.
These are quick fixes, rushed to create illusions of progress.
Smoke screens.
Damage control.

For years, the same governments turned a blind eye. They watched communities suffer. They ignored public outcry. They covered up exposed corruption. When scandals surfaced, they sacrificed scapegoat politicians, throwing one under the bus to protect the system, while the real rot remained untouched.

Now, during elections, they climb podiums and shout manifestos filled with promises that sound familiar. Why? Because they are the same promises they made before. Promises that were never kept. Promises that blew away like dust in the wind once the votes were secured.

Let this be said plainly:
A government that only remembers the people when it needs votes is not a government; it is a manipulative machine.

If a government shows no genuine interest in the well-being of the people as a whole, but instead operates on favoritism, that government does not deserve a seat in leadership. Favoritism is not governance. It is corruption wearing a suit.

If a government swears to protect the people yet consistently puts their lives in jeopardy, through neglect, greed, deception, and indifference, that is a clear sign that the enemy is already in the camp.

If a government looks past its own people to prioritize foreign traders, investors, elites, friends of friends, family connections, side-kicks, and corporate interests, then the agenda is clear, and the people are not part of it.

A government truly committed to the nation and its people will always show real growth, not just before elections, but consistently. Growth in infrastructure. Growth in opportunity. Growth in dignity. Growth in freedom.

But a corrupt government, driven by self-interest, obsessed with dollar signs, loyal to corporations and the already wealthy, will never deliver true progress. Its intentions are never aligned with the people. Expecting such a system to uplift the masses is like standing in front of your enemy and asking them to save you.

The people must wake up.
See through the theatrics.
See through the lies.
See through the handouts, the staged concern, the rehearsed humility.

Vote for freedom, not controlled oppression.
Vote with discernment, not desperation.
Vote with memory, not manipulation.

Because a vote given blindly is a future surrendered willingly, and a people who refuse to wake up will always be ruled by those who never intended to serve them.

 

Stop Voting Blind: Choose Truth, Stability, and Integrity

People, when you vote, don’t let it be about party favoritism. Let it be about truth. Let it be about real, authentic promises, the kind you can actually see working for the people as a whole.

Do not vote out of favoritism. Vote for reliability. Vote for real security, the kind that benefits everyone, not just a select few.
Do not vote for sugar-coated speeches that sound good on a podium and disappear once the election is over. Vote for constructive action. Vote for measures that truly help people grow, thrive, and become financially stable.

Do not vote from deception.
Do not vote from fear.
Do not sell your voice for money or temporary comfort.

Be true to yourself. Place your vote consciously and willingly. Choose leaders who have your best interests at heart, not just during election season, but consistently, over time.

Vote for truth.
Vote for stability.
Vote for integrity.

Not favoritism.
Not control.
Not secrecy.

Your vote carries power. Use it with awareness.

“Stop Voting Blind: Choose Truth, Stability, and Integrity”

 

Some people are not using common sense; they are using common ignorance.

There is a difference between not knowing and refusing to know.

What we are witnessing at this time is not a lack of information; it is a rejection of truth. Some people are no longer operating from common sense; they are operating from common ignorance. And ignorance, when chosen, becomes dangerous.

Truth today is being twisted, diluted, and repackaged until evil is made to look good, darkness is paraded as light, and lies are defended with emotional loyalty instead of logic. People aren’t confused; they are disconnected.

Disconnected from discernment. Disconnected from inner awareness. Disconnected from the quiet voice that says, “Something isn’t right here.”

When spiritual discernment is absent, the senses become unreliable. The eyes see, but do not perceive.

The ears hear, but do not understand, and the mind absorbs information but cannot process meaning.

That is how deception walks in freely, not through force, but through distraction, comfort, and emotional manipulation.

And when a person cannot recognize truth, they can be led anywhere.

This is where the real danger lies.

A person without discernment will defend corruption if it feels familiar. They will protect lies if it comforts their identity.

They will attack truth if it threatens the illusion they’ve grown comfortable living in, they'll call wisdom “hate,” call accountability “oppression,” and call deception “progress.”

When people lose their ability to discern, they become easy to program.

That’s why manipulation works so well on the masses. It doesn’t require intelligence; it requires emotional control. Feed fear, reward conformity, punish questioning, and soon you have a population that reacts instead of thinks.

Trouble enters the camp when people stop using discernment and start outsourcing their thinking.

Because without discernment:

• Lies feel safe
• Truth feels offensive
• Corruption feels normal
• And freedom feels dangerous

A mind that cannot recognize truth can be persuaded to defend its own destruction. That is the reality many are living in right now.

But here’s the part they don’t want people to realize:

Truth doesn’t need to scream.
Truth doesn’t need to be manipulated.
Truth doesn’t need to beg to be believed.

Truth stands, and those with eyes to see will recognize it instantly.

The question is not whether truth exists.

The question is whether people are willing to wake up enough to face it.

Because once discernment is gone, anything can be justified.
And once common sense is replaced with common ignorance,
darkness no longer needs to hide; it gets elected, celebrated, and defended.

That’s when you know something has gone very wrong.

The mind can be controlled by many things; be the only master of your mind~quotesisit.blogspot.com

 

Running by Integrity or Running by Money — Which One Are You?

Every election season, the same parade marches past our eyes: polished speeches, rehearsed smiles, empty promises wrapped in expensive suits. And yet the question no one dares to ask out loud is the only one that truly matters: Are you running by integrity, or are you running by money?

Because power reveals character.
And elections expose it.

Some individuals don’t even wait until they’re in office to show their corruption.

From the very beginning of the race, the signs are loud and shameless: unexplained funding, dirty alliances, silence in the face of wrongdoing, deals made in the shadows while the people are distracted by slogans and soundbites. These are not leaders. These are investors in their own future, gambling with the destiny of a nation.

And let us speak plainly:
If you are running in the same party, seeing corruption happen, and you do not object, then you are not innocent.
Silence is agreement.
Neutrality is endorsement.
Compliance is corruption.

You cannot stand beside wrongdoing and pretend your hands are clean.

So here is the uncomfortable truth many refuse to face:

How can a nation of people vote for such corrupt individuals?
How can conscious minds place their future next to a dishonest name?
How can anyone mark a ballot beside someone whose character is already stained?

This is not ignorance anymore.
This is participation.

A corrupt candidate does not rise alone. They are lifted by voters who chose convenience over conscience, party over principle, loyalty over logic. When people knowingly vote for corruption, they become shareholders in the collapse that follows.

Integrity is not a slogan.
It is not a campaign line.
It is not a performance.

Integrity is what you do when money is offered.
Integrity is what you say when corruption is visible.
Integrity is what you choose when power is within reach.

Running by money produces rulers who sell nations.
Running by integrity produces leaders who protect them.

And the people must decide, not just who they vote for, but who they are willing to become.

Because every ballot is a mirror.
And every election reveals the true condition of a society’s conscience.

So, ask yourself before you vote, before you cheer, before you defend:

Are you supporting integrity?
Or are you funding your own betrayal?

This is not politics.
This is accountability.
This is awakening.
And this is the line between a nation that rises, and a nation that willingly falls.

The Transparency of Their Corrupt Ways, by Buying Votes

I don’t know about anyone else, but I know this about myself,

I have the common sense of intelligence, and I am wide awake.

Wide awake enough to know that any individual running for elections who buys votes automatically exposes exactly what kind of corrupt person they are.

They love to speak about transparency.

And yes, right there, that alone speaks for itself.
The transparency of their corrupt ways.

Because when someone buys votes, they are not hiding who they are.
They are announcing it.

Openly.
Boldly.
Shamelessly.

And if people cannot see this, then either they are on the same network of corruption, or they have been bewitched through mind manipulation.

There is no middle ground here.

An individual should have their own independent voice when they vote.
A voice shaped by experience.
By lived reality.
By what they have endured, witnessed, and understood under whatever party or administration governs them.

Not by money.
Not by favors.
Not by pressure.
Not by deception.

Come on, people, use common sense.

If a government or a candidate has to use money to deceptively buy votes, that alone should tell you everything you need to know about their character.

Anyone willing to buy their way into power is capable of doing anything, locally and internationally, just to gain control.

Power obtained through deception will always be exercised through deception.

A person who enters leadership through corruption will govern through corruption.

That kind of individual is not only untrustworthy, but they are also dangerous to a nation and its people.

Just imagine how far their corruption will flow.
Locally.
Regionally.
Internationally.

We already know they are corrupt foreign bodies in spirit and intention.

Now imagine such an individual joining forces with other corrupt leaders around the world.

That is not leadership.

That is corruption at the highest level.

And here is the greatest hypocrisy of all:

These are the same individuals who boldly speak against corruption worldwide.
The same individuals who condemn corruption on international stages.
The same individuals who pretend to stand for integrity.

Yet they willingly try to start parties, campaigns, and governments founded on corruption.

They fight corruption with speeches, while practicing it with actions.

So let us be very clear.

Buying votes is not politics.
It is not campaigning.
It is not leadership.

It is a confession.

A public declaration of moral bankruptcy.

And any nation that places such individuals in power should not be surprised when deception becomes policy, corruption becomes law, and the people become victims.

The warning signs are not hidden.

They are transparent.

The only question left is, who is awake enough to see them?

Every individual running in that same party is just as corrupt as the one trying to govern through leadership.
They already know how this corruption started, with buying votes.
And if allowed to govern, that corruption will not stop.
It will only rise to different levels and higher forms of corruption.

 

People Don’t Sell Your Votes — Because You Will Sell Your Rights to Freely Live

People, do not sell your votes.

Because the moment you sell your vote, you sell your voice.
And when you sell your voice, you sell your future.

The money they hand you today is not a gift; it is a price.
A price paid for your silence.
A price paid for your suffering tomorrow.
That money is comfort for one night, and chains for many years.

Understand this clearly: the money you accept today is your soul and your comfort being traded away to deceptive hands.

Around election time, this evil becomes organized.

Governments quietly position people in communities to buy votes.
Individuals who are respected in certain areas that others look up to are persuaded, bribed, and turned into supervisors of corruption. They become the ones distributing cash, favors, groceries, building materials, school fees, phone cards, anything to sway the people’s minds and bend their will.

All across nations, you will find them.
Working quietly.
Smiling politely.
Buying democracy piece by piece.

This is deception.
This is manipulation.
And yes, this is evil.

Because vulnerable people are being used as tools to cast votes for parties that care nothing about them, nothing about their children, nothing about the nation, parties that are only out to enrich themselves while destroying the land and its people.

The vulnerable are targeted for vote buying for a reason; they are deliberately kept poor, dependent, and exposed, so they can be easily manipulated. A government that truly wanted to uplift the people would not maintain poverty as a tool to control votes.

To the people I say this, plainly and without apology:

Take the money.
Take the freebies.
Take whatever they give you.

But when voting time comes, vote with integrity.

Vote for the individual who truly has your best interest at heart.
Vote for the one who wants to make your nation better, not bury you deeper in the soil.
Vote for the leader who offers a helping hand, not a crushing foot.

Do not vote for leaders who only see corporations, investors, the rich, and the famous.
Do not vote for leaders who worship the spotlight more than they serve the people.
Do not vote for leaders who carry pride, greed, and ego dressed in fine suits.

Vote for a leader who bears good fruit, not one who carries baskets of rotten deeds.

Vote for an individual who will not sit comfortably while healthcare collapses, education decays, transportation falls apart, and industries crumble, all while building empires for investors and elites.

Vote for an individual who believes every citizen deserves a comfortable life.
Not one who will sell out your future and give away the very land beneath your feet.

Vote for truth.
Vote for transparency.
Vote for integrity.
Vote for love, care, and justice.

Vote for a God-fearing individual who puts God before money, and people before investors.

Vote for freedom.
Vote for Security.
Vote for stability.

Vote for Protection.

Do not cast your vote simply because you were paid to do so.
Your future, and the future of your children and grandchildren, is written on that ballot.

People, look around.
It is no secret.

Look at the condition of your nation.
Look at what you once had, and what has been taken from you.
Examine the corruption permeating your systems.
Look at the deception standing boldly in daylight.

Then ask yourself one honest question:

Who was in leadership while all of this happened?

Were they building you up, or building corporations?
Were they serving the people, or serving friends, family, investors, elites, and sidekicks?

Are they for you…
Or against you?

Think wisely before you place that vote.

Because that small mark on a piece of paper decides whether you live free or live trapped.
Whether your children rise or remain buried.
Whether your nation heals or continues to bleed.

People, do not sell your votes.
Because when you sell your vote,
You sell your right to live freely.

Come on, people, use common sense.
If a government has to use money to deceptively buy votes, that alone should show you how corrupt that individual already is. 

Anyone willing to buy their way into power is capable of doing anything, locally and internationally, just to gain control. 

A person who enters leadership through deception will govern through deception; that kind of individual is not only untrustworthy but dangerous to a nation and its people. 

And they will do anything that crosses their path just to stay in power.
