St. Martin News Network

wow i can't believe it! how can someone do something this stupid and think he can get away with it in the 21st century??? we already looked like fools for the past 5 years and now that we finally got our change we start on the wrong foot again! Sad day for St Martin!

I totally diaagree with the aim of this reporting.
Everyone uses words anfd sentences that have been used before.
Will it be wrong to "haave a dream"?

Most important is the pPresident must be committed to what he said.

If there is a plan for a country and tht plan can work to the benefit of my country, I would implement that plan.

I don't see why it should appear as negative.

Blessings!!!

wrong is wrong... no matter how you turn it... and it should not matter who's done it... it's not the reporting its the wrong doings being reported. it has nothing to do with the president (the report says he was not aware) but it does ashame us! we'll only move forward when we'll stop excusing the wrongs...

Bwahahahhahaha..

what else can you do but laugh.. really!

I AM SADENED BY THIS, AND IF I WAS MR RICHARDSON,
HOME YOU GO.........
THIS IS SO EMBARa**ING.

IN THE 21ST CENTURY, AND COMPUTERS NOTHING HIDE

TO THE ABOVE, WITH IS IT WRONG TO HAVE A DREAM.
NO ITS NOT WRONG TO HAVE A DREAM, BUT IT ALWAYS SAID
AS THE LATE MARTIN KING SAID............
I HAVE A DREAM.

MR RICHARDSON, TRUST NOBODY MORE WITH YOUR WORDS.

IF YOU HAVE TWO WORDS, THEN SAY THEM........

Alex Richards must have stolen his so called degree that he has. What example is he to the students of USM. Alain Richardson, your Director of Cabinet is a thief... Hope he dont get access to the peoples money,

Did Peter Gunn write for the RRR?

Strike one.

I hope that this would be a lesson, hard learned, to stay on top of your game and not pa** the responsibility on to others.

This is what breaks the "Greatest of Leaders".

Mr. Richardson, pls. don't let the people down. Trust no one, always sleep with one eye open and watch your own back.

You are in the "Big League" now. It is a dangerous ball game.

His mistakes start already, within a week. Obeah no help, God is awake. More mishaps to come from all of those misfits. ;-) ;-)

I realise there are alot of people waiting to see The President stumble and fall,, but as the saying goes" becareful what you wish for"......

Bibi , out of allllllllllllllllllllllllllllll that is going on , this is all you can bring forward like news ? Why don't you by the Guyanee gouverment building and comment what all your gouverment is doing good for their people....... Some of the article you does release here are so PETIT( low), and only aiming to shame Sint Maarten people.

next speech will be one made in China......wonder if he can read kantonese or mandarin.......woooooiiii.....set of jokers....

@observant: you're right no one should wish for our president to fail because it would be us all who would fail for the next 5 years... again! we're still days after election and already a mistake is made... probably not his fault but being the president he is in "control". another thing... he chose his staff, that mistake was not made by a newcomer but someone close to him for years... now let's see how he handles that matter... great leaders make decisions.

ACTIONS SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS? :sad: Do not count him out, after all he is a sxmner and we always bounce back. This is why all who come here do not ever want to leave. Sxm and its people are in God's loving and forgiving arms. Hold fact! :-)

here goes sxmers again some a** write something on a next sxmer in here they goes bringing them down beating them up but you know what what god choose for us know one can destroy.for the evil that calls it obeah i positive it was prayer and you know nothing about that.this woman came here and write stuff try to bring down all sxmers today alex next will be you have a bless day

Yep to those with negative comments what God bless no man curse.
Alain don't let that distabalize you keep focus, we praying for you

Here we go again! bringing down, one of our own.
Only in sxm

You have the right person running the island now, he can't even write his own speech. Good luck!

when using someone words or ideas, you have to quote them. alex richards had to put the person's name instead of making others believe (especially the president) that he write such a long speech in 5 days.
God do'nt sleep alex, you get away with it last time by putting it under a mat hoping it will go away. use the brains God give you. you bring sxm and your family to shame again!!
mr president, beware of wolves in sheep clothing... role up your sleeves and do your own work for pete's sake!!!

@janine... what they he steal from you! Stop running off your mouth like a diarrhea.
Stop the judging and the negative comments.
Let God be the judge.

@ for real

SMN NEWS DID GOOD REPORTING TO FIND THAT OUT.

SHE IS NOT AT FAULT........HOWEVER THE PERSON THAT WROTE THE SO SAID SPEACH, IS THE ONE NEEDS TO BE BE SANCTIONED AND GO HOME.

WE ARE IN A WORLD FULL OF TECHNICAL WAYS TO DO THIS, AND IF THAT DUMMY ( THE WRITER) DID NOT
REALIZE THAT, THEN HE TAKE YOU ALL FOR DUMMIES ALSO.

YOU CAN MATCH SPEACHES.

I WOULD NOT LIKE TO SEE ALAIN, FALL, THE PEOPLE PUT HIM THERE, BUT HE HAS TO BE CAREFUL WITH THE IDIOTS HE SURROUND HIMSELF WITH, AND DON'T TRUST THEM, AS MAYBE HIS JUDAS, IS RIGHT THERE WITH HIM,
ESPECIALLY IF HE GET GOOD PRICE, AND IT WON'T BE 30 PIECES OF SILVER, AND IT WON'T BE WHO YOU ALL THINK IT WILL BE,
THIS WILL BE A STRIKE FROM LEFT FIELD,

ALAIN, BE CAREFUL, WATCH OUT, AND DROP ON YOUR KNEES TO ASK GOD TO WATCH OVER YOU AND YOUR DECISIONS, AS YOU PROMISED THE PEOPLE.

It is embara**ing but guess what......many ahve done it before him. This does not justify the action taken but it is not such a big deal.

There is no monopoly on words, said an international judge.This was an interesting case for the judge made it clear not everything that is copied and presented as your own original work can be considered as plagiarism. It depends on certain factors...(alot of legal jargon that I will leave out for now).

Give the guy a break....he just got in. Hopefully, this will be an eye opener for him to be more careful.

i beleive it's a wake-up call for our president to show him that alex richardson is a ac-dc man and god don't want those kind of people in his goverment so mr alain richardson do what god call you to do

The speach was written by a third party that contains the philosophy of both the Prime Minister and Prisident.

Isen't that what it's all about, So what?

Small minds cannot see beyond their noses.

Jubee then this third party sold one piece of work twice... good way to make money..

ahahahahahhhh mistake done starting newly president and alreeady thing sayin about him alala ppl wa vote for the RRR ayu not a lil shame tha he crew can't do simple job like this can't wait to see the rest lol

You must both be blind...
What about the proverbial saying:
He that will steal an egg will steal an ox?
The problem here is not about the importance of the act,
it is IMHO in the principle of it...
The same idea gave us this more general proverb:
He that will steal a pin, will steal a better thing...
In our case we can say:
He that has plagiarized will do other bad things...
if you let him!

Who CARES! There was nothing else to talk about being this elections was a clean cut elections!

They always got to come up with some crap!


Chuupps Alain the people of St.Maarten put you there!
The past goverment have done worst! They have turn this country into a begging state! :sad:

5 years ago it started the same way... so wait and see...

To all those who are upset becoz Bini brought this out! She is not the only one! In fact all the french papers are talking about it so please refrain from bashing Bibi. She is the best and most reliable jouranlist we have!
Well as we can see we stick to the African Continent: Ogoundele-Tessi frop Africa, Yawo from Africa and now Alain from Burkina Fasa! What's the problem Sujah always tell us we have to go back AFRICA! HAHAHAHAHAHA
Now seriously, Does Alain need somebody to write his speech for such an occasion???? Will never beat Albert Fleming who didn't even had half the schooling (can't say education!!!!) Alain has!!!! But no surprise to me however, after he pa**ed thru the Masters' clan (Mouial, Fisher.....) New administration, same old practice!!!! We are doomed anyway!

What a coincidence, Mr. Gibbs keep on forcing his so-called "if he had won the election speech" in the media. Who cares what he have to say, he did not win , so why keep on printing his speech? Now you hear about Mr. R'dson's speech. Give me a break :sad: :sad:
Sour loser. ;-)

To the President I say the following: Do not let small minded people deter you. Use whatever words you want to use as long as you live up to them. If some one says something before me, does that mean that I cannot say the same thing again if I am in the same position? Mr. President make sure that you do not even read this blog or any other while going about the people"s business. Don't waste that energy. We have your back. Those commenting are all the sore loosers who are right now licking their wounds. They will be like that for a very loooooooong time. So prepare for this to continue for a while. Once you've entered the political arena the small minded idiots think that this is the way to go about things while tying to make themselves feel better because the people rejected them. Be strong and encouraged. Don't let nothing hinder you. Not the foolish comments above or those foolish ones that may come below. You are strong so run our Country as you were elected to do and we will watch out for the lunatics for you. As I said previously, We have your back.

Ok Then Mr. President. You hear?

@hahaha


DO YOU SEE SUJAH GOING TO AFRICA TO LIVE????

TELL ME...
THEY ALL TALK SHIT, BUT NONE WILL PACK UP AND SAY I AM GONE........NONE, AND I MEAN........ NONE.......

I VISITED LAGOS, AND NIGERIA, AND CUT MY VACATION SHORT, BOTH TIMES, NOTHING THERE FOR WE INDEPENDANT PEOPLE.

MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER CROSS THE OCEAN AND BRING ME HERE, SO I AM STAYING HERE.

DID YOU HEAR WHAT LEROY DE WEEVER TOLD THE PEOPLE,
WHY DO YOU WANT TO KEEP EMILIO WILSON PARK, TO REMIND US OF SLAVERY.........??? WE DON'T NEED IT.

MAYBE HE IS RIGHT....MOVE ON.......

I FEEL EVERYBODY LIKE ALAIN, BUT THIS ERROR, STRUCK HOME BAD, AND THE PERSON, THAT WROTE IT, SHOULD
NOT REMAIN THERE.

ALAIN IS SMART, AND DON'T NEED A WRITTEN SPEACH.

WORDS THAT FLOW FROM THE HEART....MEANS MORE.

I DON'T GET THE FEELING PEOPLE ARE AGAINST ALAIN...AT ALL.

@jubeeandexceptionally

How nice of you to quote scripture.But try to remember the bible is about love and forgiveness.

Prov.19:11: the discretion of man deferreth anger; It is his glory to pa** a transgression.

If you are without sin cast the first stone....this is my favorite.

Forgive us for our traspa**es as we forgive others others for their traspa**es.....another favorite.

Like I stated....it is embara**ing and this should be an eye opener for him.......give him a chance to prove himself to the people.

The God you serve is a loving God...His anger lasteth but for awhile.

Alain accustomed to writting his sermons, why he ain't write his speech. He too big for that now?

As a person who sat through many of his sermons over the years, i'm disapointed!

Stick to the basics Alain.

I saw the speech in the Fax info 90% of it is plagarized! They have money to waist man!

@exceptionallyperfect: i do not forget...
but i think YOU forgot #8 of the TEN COMMANDMENTS (Exodus 20:1-17)
Thou shalt not steal

I suppose Henri Ford stole the wheel from the cave man inventer too?

politicians,they are all fake!! they only take care of them self,the same thing happen on the dutch side will happen on the french side,which is the only change they will see is in the politicians salarys and the people will be left to suck salt,all the nice talk and empty promises was just a joke for them to get in,when will you people learn?

Take a deep breath....hereon Alain needs to check ahead anything given to him. Question, question, question!!!
because at the end of the day there are more who want him to fail vs. those who wish him well.
We have too many crab mentality ppl in our society that need eradicating for good.
It's about trust, all President's speeches are written by their right hand man/woman and even if he used some phrases, in this setting it would only be prudent to quote - unquote. No one would then call him any name today. Hope he learned a lesson that ppl are more advanced technology wise than ever.

It's sad for the President that he has to start off with this cloud hanging over all his good intentions for St Martin and its people.
Let's put our support behind our President nonetheless.

Ha ha, you see they wanted Louis out and I said I hope they will do what is right now he done start of with doing a shit so plus what make a big man like him can't write his own speech

@jubee,

go read a book.. your comments are dumb as hell.

for everyone saying he can use any word he wants, yes he can but he certainly CANNOT VERBATIM take entire sentences and paragraphs from someone elses speach.

Its called Intellectual Property!!!

Look it up!

if that the kind of person his "directeur de cabinet" is he should get rid of him, find someone else, he will spoil things for the president, he did it already and sure will again, as they say there is never 2 without 3. Then they say we dont want our own SxMers. Pres Richardson dont need no poison ivy around him, do a good clean up.

;-) ;-) ;-) Come again with copied speeches for your office. I like it. His speech is a good laugh and i guess not by me alone.

I am just not suprised with such acts .....

Why did this happen? Iwatched on tv the newly elected president reading rather poorly his speech. It appeared like he just got the speech the very same morning. Burkina Faso is one of the poorest countries in the world, run by a dictator who has got in power by military coup some 25 years ago... no democraty. Is this the type of mandate we will see in saint martin for the next 5 years? This is very ugly and it weakens your victory. Mr president please adress the issue and make the right decisions. This is also embarra**ing for us as there were many visting dignitaries that had their translations... Its a bad start but lets hope this story gets blown over fast.... and thet the prefecture does not act on it!

Please this has become unbearable, please leaders or leaders to be , join the TOASTMASTERS CLUB , this is a club where leaders are made, it will help you write your speech and deliver yourselph, not matter the situation, there are 6 clubs on the island i am am member and it is doing me a good, and i hope one day soon i will be able to put my communication skills to the use our community and not just sit back and post negative comments

As long as life continues, we will be faced with deacon jones and aunt lucy's. We are prone to accept the christian fanatics in their suite and ties, their long dresses though they be fornicators, child molesters. I believe that people would do better if they should educate themselves and be concern with the issues that compound us as an island. Mr Richardson should investigate the economic foreigner responsible for the intrusion and deport her back to her mud hut. These people have no allegiance to this island or its people. To them it is all about money. What they can get out of SXM. I would say unleash the forces of nature on her behind, let her run like a deer.

alain richardson is there for the haitian and spanish
