While Leopold JAMES, on St.Maarten/St. Martin, has been for years trying to achieve the same objective for his own island of heritage- and birth, certain elements have been targeting and 'demonizing' him personally for such; the latest such 'attacker' being some Cornelis SCHOTEL.
Leopold JAMES has already, this morning made contact dr. Adrain STOKES, Dennis CHUNG, Karen FITZ RITSON and others in Jamaica to consider a 'regional, strategic partnership' for assisting civil societies to become more organized and effective in demanding more accountability from their respective governments.
It is evident, that despite efforts from certain individuals on the 'Friendly island', to deny citizens of this island the right to know governments policies in certain areas, their efforts will remain futile.
Thanks to the potential for effective world-wide communication, it has become possible for groups with similar objectives to easily communicate, network globally and become increasingly effective.
