They are big time crooks. I bought a boat that belonged to one of the sons,when I went to collect the cushions for the seat, I was told I have to pay $32 G. I told them to keep it, I'll make new ones.
They ended up making me pay $6500. I took it because it was custom designed. I was offered the TV remote and other accessories for a price which I declined.I told their broker to tell him that money can't buy class.

Make a guess who's not sad about what is happening now?

[Crackpot]

We are all somewhat responsible for being so gullible in 2010 and falling for what we wanted to hear and not what we needed to hear.

The UNC and its minions must never be extricated from the hoisting of this international embarrassment to this country. Pontious Pilate is not here and they are squarely responsible when International news reports use the term "former minister"

[Country_Bookie]

John Oliver (from HBO's Last Week Tonight) gonna air a message to Jack on TV6 Tuesday at 9. Hope he's not like the rest of the fcuking american media spinning it like all trinis love Jack Warner. WTF? Like they interviewing a set of Pioneers?

[DTAC]

John Oliver said on his show on HBO tonight, that he has bought 5 minutes of airtime on TV6 at 9:01pm on Tuesday because he has more to say to Jack Warner than he has room for on his show.

That should be some real kicks.

If you don't know of him or what he's been saying about FIFA and Jack Warner, educate yourself here:

Where the proof from international news that UNC got money from Jack.
What we seeing is that a PNM supermarket is involved in money laundering.

It is going to be like that. Tv6 should not have allowed that but money talks in sweet trinidad. But its gonna be funny as firetruck and I'll be laughing my ass off to trinis getting some truth tea

[BRZ]

I agree with the CO leader, Jack is NOT Trinidad, this should not have to involve, degrade and embarrass the country, we are not on charges, the man whos responsible for this SHOULD be SENT to the US to face his charges in the US court system. Stop involving the entire country.......... only a coward of epic proportions does such a thing.

Psychic Winston Ragoo: Jack will be cleared

Shaliza Hassanali

Published: 

Monday, June 6, 2011



Suspended vice president of FIFA Jack Warner will eventually be cleared of bribery charges levelled against him by the internal football governing body. With this allegation out of the way, local psychic Winston Ragoo predicts Warner will willingly step down from the post and stick to his job as a government minister, serving the citizens of T&T, thousands of whom have been rallying behind him since the controversy erupted within FIFA. But this will not be the end of Warner’s troubles, Ragoo said, as he will be dogged by corruption allegations in the coming months from throngs of people and “a battery of FBI agents trailing his every move.”

Ragoo said FIFA will work closely with FBI agents in an attempt to bring Warner to his knees. “They will try to go all out to bring Warner down.” Before the year’s end, Ragoo said, Warner will face an uphill battle with new allegations of corruption surfacing. “Warner’s misery has just begun. People will be coming forward with information in an attempt to nail him.” Meanwhile, Ragoo said Warner’s performance in the last year has created a lot of enemies in and out of the Government. With supporters rallying behind Warner, Ragoo said, this can lead to the Works and Transport Minister becoming more popular than Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar. Also, the relationship between Warner and Legal Affairs Minister Prakash Ramadhar will become strained following recent statements made against Warner and by Warner against Ramadhar. He also predicted a collapse of the PP’s support base if Warner walks.

In other predictions, Ragoo said:

INFIGHTING IN COP AFTER PARTY ELECTION

• Outgoing leader of the Congress of the People (COP), Winston Dookeran will bow out of the Government before the 2015 general election. 
• Infighting in the party.
• Senior COP members will walk out of the party in disgust after the party’s internal election. 
• Among those who will severe ties with the party is vice chairman Vernon De Lima.
 • The COP will again merge with the UNC to become one party to fight the PNM in the 2015 general election.

As COP’s July 3 election draws closer, Ragoo is predicting some turbulent times ahead. Ragoo spoke about the tongue lashing Warner unleashed on Ramadhar, which he said could lead to a swaying of votes for the COP candidate in the party’s upcoming election. “Warner’s support is strong in the Government and by him saying he is disappointed in Ramadhar could affect him as a candidate at the polls. “If Warner did not hold Ramadhar in high esteem he would not have said what he did.”

The rift in the COP will continue to widen, he added. On Dookeran, Ragoo said that had he stayed as leader of the party, “it certainly would not have made the COP any stronger.” As for Dookeran’s future, Ragoo said: “I think he would be a silent partner in COP and play an important role in advising the Government on the economy and financial budgets. “After this election, he will bow out of politics. I am not seeing Dookeran going into another election.”

After the COP’s internal election, Ragoo said, the party will merge with the UNC to fight the People’s National Movement. “I am not seeing the COP going on as a long term party in the next build up of the election because of the internal rumblings. This whole election thing will not be good for the COP. The momentum they were building is losing steam. If the COP stands alone they will not be strong.”

Predictions include

MANNING TO MAKE A COMEBACK

• Plot by PNM members to undermine Rowley.
• Plans are afoot for former prime minister, Patrick Manning to take over the PNM.
• Manning will come back to lead the PNM.
• PNM support growing.

The People’s Partnership

• The PP has a year to get its act together or lose the 2015 general election.

Ragoo’s successful predictions

Kamla Persad-Bissessar will become T&T’s first female Prime Minister.

Calder Hart will pack up and leave the country.

Tobago Orgainsation of the People (TOP) will capture two seats in the 2010 general election.

PP Government will win PNM stronghold areas Arima, D’Abadie/O’Meara and Toco/ Sangre Grande in the 2010 general election.

Plot to get Patrick Manning out as PNM leader.

Winston Dookeran will bow out of COP leadership race.

But Jack is not an ordinary businessman/individual.

He is an elected member of parliament (twice in one term). It's difficult to not involve the country when this guy helps craft the legislative framework on which our institutions are based

Why would something a psychic 'predict' even be published in a national newspaper as though the information is fact?

DAN WHY U BEHAVING LIKE YOU IN KNOW IS A BANANA REPUBLIC WE LIVING IN.
Yuh forget is the same papers who build it over Jack using the Onion as a fact check.

Come nah man just smile and wave.

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

Why would something a psychic 'predict' even be published in a national newspaper as though the information is fact?

Because the Guardian, Express, Onion and Fox News all share the same credibility. These papers/tv stations are not meant to be taken seriously. I mean some of these local papers are so Pro PNM and Anti Kamla that they make Fox News and their pro Republican/Anti Obama agenda look like play stuff.

This is like asking why does the blast still keep printing about the goat man in Arima with the head of a real goat, bulling more goat and claiming it to be fact. Long story short, stop reading Onion, Guardian, Express, Fox News, bomb, blast etc.

BBC should create a Trinidad page just for us.

Why would something a psychic 'predict' even be published in a national newspaper as though the information is fact?

Just as informed as the political analyst like Mukesh Basdeo, Dr. Indira Rampersad and Dr. Winford James.

In fact, more of his predictions come true

And none of them better than his Cell Phone, the one which shows him behind bars whenever he takes a selfie . The negotiations with the Federal authorities is to get a Family discount on the jail term.
Keep an eye on Jack's accountant, when he took a selfie on Jack's phone, it came out a bit blurry, with a lot of people with dark blue windbreakers and black suits in the background.

both use the medium of choice to make a guess at the future.

we all do....some people are sought out by the media to say something.

Trinidad academy sign of Warner's shady deals

Port of Spain (AFP) - Trinidad and Tobago's Centre of Excellence, a football academy built with millions of dollars from FIFA, today hosts more weddings and conventions than matches, a symbol of the shady dealings of fallen executive Jack Warner.


The $22.5-million centre, which includes a stadium, a practice pitch, a swimming complex, a hotel and sprawling conference facilities, was supposed to train a new generation of footballers from around the Caribbean.

But somehow it ended up registered as belonging to Warner personally instead of the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF), whose presidency the Trinidadian politician held at the time.

And despite the giant football, complete with CONCACAF logo, that sits atop a pedestal near the entrance, the pastel-colored complex today does lots of non-football business -- allegedly for the personal profit of Warner, who is also a former FIFA vice president.

"The Centre of Excellence has blossomed into a multi-purpose facility capable of hosting a range of functions and events catering to individuals and companies including locals and tourists with added amenities for business travelers," it boasts on its website.

"In fact, the complex has staged and hosted everything from large executive events such as seminars, symposiums and trade shows including weddings, graduations and parties."

The centre is named for former FIFA president Joao Havelange of Brazil, who agreed to help fund it before stepping down in 1998 after a 24-year reign that was, like that of his successor Sepp Blatter, overshadowed by scandal.

The complex boasts facilities such as a sprawling 5,000-capacity hall named for Blatter, who announced his resignation last week after US officials indicted Warner and eight other current or former FIFA officials in a sweeping investigation into corruption at world football's governing body.

A smaller 140-capacity conference room is named for Nelson Mandela, who helped campaign for FIFA to name South Africa the 2010 World Cup host nation in a vote that US investigators now suspect was swayed by a $10 million bribe paid to Warner.

- Ownership scandal -

The scandal over the Centre of Excellence erupted in 2012, 13 years after it was inaugurated and one year after Warner was forced to resign from all posts in international football amid allegations he tried to buy Caribbean officials' votes for a FIFA presidential election.

That year, CONCACAF lawyer John Collins caused an uproar at a meeting of the regional football body when he reported that the complex was registered to Warner.

"I am shell-shocked, dismayed and upset," then-CONCACAF president Jeffrey Webb of the Cayman Islands -- now also indicted in the US investigation -- said at the time.

FIFA has sought to wrest ownership of the complex from Warner, but he has insisted it belongs to the Caribbean Football Union, which he also used to run.

The centre did not reply to requests for an interview.

Security guards there now shoo away journalists, as they have been doing at all properties in Trinidad and Tobago linked to Warner, a politically powerful lawmaker, since his arrest on May 29 at the request of US authorities.

An AFP correspondent managed to get as far as the lobby, where a large display case boasts lines of trophies, many of them awarded to Warner, before a security guard asked him to leave.

- 'Badge of honor' -

Lasana Liburd, a Trinidadian sports journalist who has followed Warner's activities for two decades, said the centre is the "badge of honor" on the ex-football exec's scandal-stained reign.

Intended as the training ground of the Caribbean's football future, "it has for the most part been used for flea markets and political rallies and everything else," said Liburd, the editor of sports site wired868.com.

"I am pretty sure it is the main money spinner for Warner right now," he told AFP.

"It is a symbol of Caribbean football and Warner, in that something that could have been used for so much good and empowering the region in terms of sport instead was used for personal gain and profit."

So all the big companies and ordinary people who patronize the CoE are now implicated in Jack Warner's corruption?

[Richard Marshall]

So it looks like since 1998, Jack have been busy with his mastermind plan...

[rspann]

The man had a vision 2015 plan since 1998?

Refuse airing Oliver's message what grounds ? That it go hurt people feelings ?

[EmilioA]

Well if you knew that the CoE was built with illegal funds. That makes you an accessory after the fact.

The other islands dont call we Trickydadians for nothing.

[sMASH]

Can't wait to hear what the 'other' john has to say!!

He painted fifa as one of the most currupt organizations in the world and jack has emerged as one of the biggest if not the biggest fraudster it had.

The Bbc reporter whom had hounded him years aback, Andrew Jennings was he, he must be feeling like a rockstar these days.

[dougla_boy]

i hope allyuh know we trinidadians gonna get level pong by all international news just because of the fact that we put JW in charge of National Security and MP and all that when accusations were first leveled?

[shogun]

Lets not even mention the Tuners that were advocating "Jack for PM" not that long ago.... some seasoned Tuners too. Think this place ain't Uber-chupid? But say wha... he does "puhform", right?
