The Government Is Blaming the People for the Cracks It Created and Creating

 

There comes a point when the truth can’t be sugarcoated anymore.

Barbados is being stretched, not by its people, but by the greed and blind ambition of those in power. 

Yet, somehow, the government still dares to turn around and question the people as if the citizens are the problem, when in fact, the people are the ones suffering under the weight of the government’s own decisions.

Let’s be clear: common sense, spiritual discernment, and conscious awakening are no longer optional, they’re survival tools.

When the government starts playing the blame game, it’s a sign of a leadership that has lost its moral compass.

They create the problems, and then question the people for not “understanding” or “appreciating” the chaos. 

They mismanage resources, sell off the land, and stretch an already fragile system, then point fingers when cracks begin to show.

Barbados is a very small island, you cannot build it like Dubai when you don’t even have the land, the water, or the infrastructure to sustain that illusion, This isn’t “vision,” it’s delusion.

Every day, massive buildings rise, fancy resorts expand, and more “foreign investors” are given front-row seats to the island’s natural wealth, while the ordinary man and woman watch their water bills climb and their living standards shrink. 

The same water that’s supposed to serve communities is being pumped into oversized pools, lush golf courses, and luxury villas for people who don’t even live here.

Let’s be honest, the water isn’t being used by the air, it’s being used by those foreign investors. 

Every drop redirected to those properties is a drop taken from a household, a farmer, or a family who actually calls this land home.

This is not progress, it’s exploitation dressed up as “economic development.”

The government’s obsession with fast money and flashy partnerships has blinded it to the long-term consequences. 

The soil, the water, the energy, all are finite. Barbados is being treated like an endless fountain, but it is not.

And when the pressure hits, when shortages rise, when costs spike, when systems buckle, the government will again turn around and blame the people. 

They’ll say “we must conserve”, “the people use too much”, and “everyone has to do their part.”

Meanwhile, the real drainers of the land’s resources, the massive developments, the foreign-owned estates, the private luxury escapes, remain untouched and unbothered.

This is common-sense reasoning, You cannot keep feeding one side and expect the other to survive.

You cannot keep giving away the heart of the island and expect the people to thrive.
And you cannot keep covering greed with the name of “growth.”

The truth is, the island is being drained not by its citizens, but by a government that keeps putting the cart before the donkey, chasing dollars instead of defending dignity.

It’s time for the people to wake up, spiritually, consciously, and collectively.

See through the shiny distractions. See through the staged press releases and foreign praises. 

See through the suits smiling for investors while ignoring the citizens struggling to pay for basic living.

Barbados doesn’t need to become a “little Dubai.”

Barbados needs to remain Barbados, balanced, protected, and preserved for its people.

And until leadership learns that, the people must learn to see through them, because if we don’t awaken now, the island’s beauty, and its soul, will be sold off one glass of water at a time.
