It is very interesting to observe that this report in the TODAY-paper entitled 'NationTalk', could not contrast more than the report in Daily Herald of Saturday, December 27, 2008, on page 7, entitled 'NATIONtalk to stay on the air '.
For the record, in these editions, both papers are reporting on the SAME day, the SAME topic, happening on the SAME island, involving as well the SAME Leopold JAMES.
Such a 'world of difference' in reporting the same situation, brings into very serious question, the objective of the paper misrepresenting the truth and clearly out to assassinate the character an organization representing the best interest of the natives and other Antilleans on the island.
It also substantiates the need for the implementation of the a new labor policy and it justifies and reinforces the call of the people for such as well.
In addition, it is time, that the responsible authorities investigate and where necessary takes appropriate measures against those who come to this island and feel that they can freely dis-respect the native St. Martin- and Antillean People residing on the island.
Meanwhile, regardless of what the TODAY-newspaper thinks of our legitimate cause, such by no conceivable means can deter us from defending our rights as natives of this island.
