Because of the mischievenousness of certain anonymous elements within our community to label the 'tone' of the programs aired by NATIONtalk, as 'inciting hatred', the producer had decided to cease the broadcast by Year's end.
However, the public at large, in no uncertain terms refused to accept for the 'voice and heartbeat' of the people to be muted.
It is therefore in place, to hereby express our sincerest thanks to all those who sent emails form around the world and spoke to the cast-members of the program expressing support to keep NATIONtalk on the air.
In particular, we hereby express our sincerest appreciation to Mr.Oral GIBBES, The Daily Herald, Management of 98.1 Pearl F.M., Mrs. Bibi SHAW of St. Martin News Network website and others for showing real professionalism and objectivity in executing their important tasks as media informing the public.
This can not be said about all in the media, of which one in particular, seems to have an agenda to destroy any voice representing the proud native-indigenous St. Martin People, who are making use of their ancetsral rights, to be counted appropriately in their own country.
Clearly, this particular pamphlet disguised as 'newspaper', is the mouth piece of everything anti-native St. Martin People and their rights and pro having the island overran and flooded by immigrants at the expense of legal residents on the island.
At the same time, on behalf of the members and associates of NATIONtalk, the SNBF & the Association L' Esprit de Concordia, as we have done before in the past, we invite all St. Martiners, all St. Martiners-at-heart and all other intersted residents and non-residents, who care for this country and its people, to join with us in order to also be part of our movement and to add your contribution to the process of St. Martin nation building, which is an absolutely critical and essential ingredient of any sustainable development, including constitutional change.
This openness and hospitality as expressed here again, is proof that any accusation of us 'inciting hatred' can only come from those who really hate St. Martin people and to maintain the 'puinhoop' (mess) on the island.
In ending, we wish all a very healthy, safe and prosperous New Year 2009 and look forward to you contacting any of our members and associates for more information about our objectives and also about how to be included in our nation building organization and NATIONtalk.
A billlboard message to this effect will be placed in the media.
