Where were the happy celebrations held again ?
Even by the politicians who themselves had back then conspired together to deceive the people through that so-called referendum, which was based on betrayal, manipulation, discrimination and such more ?
Why are the politicians surprised that there is not a bit of public interest, enthusiasm, for this '10-10-10' carnival ?
When are they going to get 'it' ?
Please, no, neen, we do not want it, no matter how much you try to indoctrinate us under the disguise of giving 'more information'.
We are not interested in more of your 'information' about a document that does not recognize us as St. Martin people, our ancestral-identity or rights.
No, we do not want such more 'information', we know enough !
You politicians have proven to be a bunch of cowards, and traitors of our ancestral struggles, history, rights.
Through your betrayal, you have 'molested' the spirit of our departed ancestors, whose blood, sweat and tears fed you and laid the foundation for this country.
Now, you have turned your backs on them.
What gratitude and pride.
We knew that from the onset it was NOT about St. Martin people
You have abused the trust of the people, only to deceive them and to sell out the birth-rights of their future generations.
It was and still is all about more power and nice positions for the POLITICIANS and to secure the 'International Human' rights for immigrants, many of whom flood the island illegally and to get naturalized and outnumber the natives.
You politicians simply chose to ignore the concerns, the cries, the interests the rights of we the St. Martin people.
So, please save us more of your 'information'-session in a futile attempt to 'convince' us.
Fact of the matter is that the more we hear you talk, the less we trust you.
Let us be very clear.
If you want to visit our homes as friends, or as fellow St. Martiners you are welcome.
But, please do NOT come as AGENTS of the betrayal under the guise of giving us more 'information'.
As such you are NOT welcome; in that case you are persona non-grata and enter our premises 'at your own risk'.
You made up your own Dutch colonial colonial bed, now sleep in it by yourself.
Sleep tight,
Leopold JAMES,
and still...
proud native-indigenous St. Martiner without apologies and compromise.
