We d n e s d a y ,
February 22
was a big day
for the United Democratic
Party. It was the day when the
party launched its manifesto
for the upcoming General Elec-
tions on March 7. And, by
all accounts, the success of
the event was overwhelming.
Ever since the elections
were called, there’s been a dis-
tinctive feeling in the air that
the UDP, already discernibly
in the lead, has been steadily, if
not rapidly gaining greater mo-
mentum. But the launch of the
Party’s General Election Mani-
festo on Wednesday was the
rst occasion for the UDP and
its observers to establish how
real and how great, on the na-
tional scale, that momentum is.
The UDP had announced
that it was going to have an
ofcial launch at a press con-
ference in the afternoon at the
Biltmore Hotel, and then the
People’s Launch in the evening
at the Party Headquarters at the
foot of the BelChina Bridge.
As it turned out, the
press conference launch was
a kind of mini-rally to warm
up for the real spectacle later
that evening. Supporters and
campaigners of the UDP and
its candidates mainly in Belize
City could hardly wait for the
real rally, and they crowd-
ed the hall at the Biltmore,
cheering on their party leader
and standard bearers as the

Patriotism versus Politics
Th a t t h e
U n i t e d
D e m o -
cratic Party will be vic-
torious at the polls on
March 7—overwhelm-
ingly so—is all but con-
firmed. But nothing is
ever certain in politics;
and that’s the reason for
having the Elections.
When the UDPwins on March 7, as it
almost certainly will, it
will be not so much a
victory for the Party, but
a triumph for the People
and Nation of Belize.
That was clearly
the pervading mood and
sentiment amid the gi-
gantic crowd that at-
tended the UDP rallyto launch its manifesto
on Wednesday of this
week. The outpouring
of national pride and
patriotism was spontane-
ous and unmistakable.
For quite some
time now, Dean Barrow
has proven himself to be
one of Belize’s most bril-
liant and successful poli-
ticians. In fact, he is the
only area representative
still sitting in the House
today who has won six
consecutive victories and
has never lost his seat.
As an attorney,
he has also been knownto be one of the best
and most successful.
Yet, what most de-
nes Dean Barrow today
is neither his perfect re-
cord as a politician nor
his brilliance and suc-
cess as an attorney. He
is most dened now by
his patriotism, his na-
tionalism, his populism.In four short years,
Dean Barrow has earned
the distinction of being
the greatest defender and
liberator of a people and
nation in this Twenty-
First Century. That is no
hyperbole. The numbers
at the rally on Wednesday
were real, and the mood
palpable. Check it out.Look around and tell us,
where else do you see such
a revolution occurring?
As to those in the
Opposition Party, they
are being left behind by
a mile because they have
refused to come to terms
with the fact that these
Elections are not really a
battle between two ma- jor political parties, but
rather a war between
Politics and Patriotism;
and that under the cur-
rent prevailing mood,
there is no way the for-
mer can defeat the latter.
Death to Pol i -
tics! Long Live Patrio-
tism! Happy Elections!
Victory in the Air!UDP Launches Maniesto
Trows Gigantic Rally
manifesto was being unveiled.
And in similar fashion,
Prime Minister and Party Lead-
er Dean Barrow’s presentation
at that press conference launch
was as much a rostrum speech
as it was an ofcial address.Prior to his address,
there were presentations by
other standard bearers, outlin-
ing the essence of the mani-
festo. The accomplishments
of the past term were outlined
by Party Chairman, Honour-
able Patrick Faber, while the
pledges and commitments for
the term ahead were outlined in
three parts, by Hugo Pott from
the North, Hon. Eden Martinez
from the South, and Hon. JohnSaldivar from the Heart of the
Nation, Capital City Belmopan.
The Prime Minister took
the opportunity to cite other ac-
complishments and plans not
quite spelled out in the manifes-
to which, as he pointed out, had
its limitations as a document
that is by its nature concise.
He also pre-empted, in
a way, the People’s Launch by
introducing new candidates
added to the party slate during
the recent round of standard-
bearer conventions in prepara-
tion for the General Elections.
And he gave a kind of constitu-

Victory in the Air!UDP Launches Manifesto - Trows Gigantic Rally
ency by constituency analysis
of the odds and the party’s
expectations of victory in those
constituencies countrywide.
The atmosphere was jubilant and the mood mili-
tant as party supporters and
campaigners cheered on party
leader Barrow and all standard
bearers on stage with boisterous
applause and shouts of victory.
The media was rather
subdued, only Jules Vasquez, as
expected, attempting to dissect
and question the substance of
the manifesto, as is his job and
responsibility as a journalist.
The exchange between him and
Party Leader Barrow was again,
as usual, convivial and enter-
taining, providing further fuel to
keep alive the jubilant and cel-
ebrative mood of the occasion.
Broadcast live on nation-
al radio, the event was chaired
by National Campaign Manager
and former UDP Minister Ru-
ben Campos. It was no doubt a
successful ofcial launch, just
the way the party planned it,we’re sure, and perfectly set-
ting the mood for the massive
rally that would take place later
at the party headquarters at the
foot of the BelChina Bridge.

his is the third visitthat I have made toOrange Walk dur-
ing the course o this UDP Victory our. And every time I think thatit can’t get any better, the crowdgrows bigger and bigger and big-ger; the size o the crowd that turnsout to support and welcome meand the United Democratic Party get’s more and more humongous.
You know, I sat there, andthere was a song that went throughmy mind. I listened to Landy, Ilistened to Gapi, I listened to ev-
erybody, and I’m paying attention,but this song is running throughmy mind. I was thinking about theact that I thought that it couldn’tget any better; but you know thatsong which goes, “You went andsaved the best or last.” (Applause)
You see how Landy toldyou that he never talked beorethe way he talked this evening;but the crowd energized him tooutdo himsel. Well I never sangon a microphone beore in my lie; but that is what you have donehere today in Palmar. (Applause)
On a very serious note, La-dies and Gentlemen, it’s wonderulto be here in the beautiul villageo Palmar; and I am so glad thatLandy Burns decided to hold thisrally here in Palmar, because, youknow traditionally, Palmar is kindo either or either; and certainly atthe time o the last village councilelections, Palmar voted or thePeople’s United Party. But Landy knew, as a consequence o his
campaigning here, that the villageo Palmar will support the UnitedDemocratic Party and OrlandoBurns in a massive ashion comeWednesday, March the 7th. And itis only tting that Landy chose Pal-mar or the battle ground this eve-ning. And I say again, what a won-derul crowd you have been; whata magnicent turnout. (Applause)
You have been patient;you have stayed here all aernoon,and it is because you are eelingit; in the same way Landy eelsit, you are eeling it. You knowthat there is the smell o a great
victory in the air. he UnitedDemocratic Party will be returnedto government on March the 7th.So, I want to thank all o you orcoming out this evening; and Iwant to thank you or what hap-pened on Wednesday in OrangeWalk own, and what happenedon Friday in Orange Walk own(Nomination Day for Municipal and General Election respectively).
Great Things Achieved - Greater Things Coming
PM Dean Barrow’s Speech at Orange Walk East Rally
And then, you watchedthe television images, and you sawthat exactly what happened here inOrange Walk happened through-
out the entire country o Belize; asea o red rom end to end in theNation o Belize. And everybody knows, everybody knows thatthe United Democratic Party willmake history. No government ever;no government ever; listen to mecareully; no government ever winsa second term with a bigger ma-
jority than they got or their rstterm. And I am telling you that thisis history in the making, becausethe United Democratic Party onMarch 7th will win no less than
boasting; it is about expressinggratitude to the people o thisCountry who believe, and areshowing this in a way that does not
permit or the slightest shadow o adoubt. Te People o this Country believe that this United Demo-cratic Party Government is the bestBelize has ever seen (applause).
Tere was a time when allthe media people, all the pundits,all the so-called experts, all theanalysts were saying, well, you allmight win again, you know, but i you win again it is because really the people have no choice becausenobody wants PUP again. AndI used to say to them, well ugly
this Country are showing orthe United Democratic Party, itis not because the PUP are bad,it is because the UDP is good.
Tere were times when thegoing got a little rough, but youwere always there to support us, toencourage us, maybe not in quitethe numbers we are beginningto see; but you the poor people,the aithul, always continued tomaintain the love and supportor your party; and or that weare eternally grateul. In the end,the entire country judges you in
pronouncing the judgment thatwill soon be a matter o record,the judgment that is inevitable.
his United DemocraticParty has demonstrated that neverin the history o Belize has a gov-ernment been on the side o thePeople in the way this UnitedDemocratic Party Governmenthas. What you see happening, thismagic that is in the air, it is notsomething that just comes up likethat; it doesn’t just spring up; itdoesn’t just arise. People are beingdriven by the recognition that thedeeds o the United DemocraticParty are there or all to see. Teevidence is there! here can beno doubt that we are the Govern-ment or the poor. Tere can beno doubt that we are the Govern-ment or the People. Tere can beno doubt that in terms o Educa-tion, in terms o ood subsidies,in terms o lower water bills, interms o lower electricity bills,in terms o the conditional cash
transer, in terms o second chanceopportunities, this is a govern-ment that has created the greatestsocial saety net in this Country.
And we don’t do it as amatter o strategy; we do it as amatter o conviction. I am happy and proud to say that every singleone o my Cabinet colleagues,
just as I do, believes heart andsoul in the philosophy o social
justice; and this is the Govern-ment that has at long last imple-mented a vision o social justicein the Country o Belize. Whatdo you think is generating all o this love? It is the combinationo social justice and nationalism.
Landy hit the nail on thehead. Tis is a government that isnot araid o anybody. Tis is a gov-ernment that doesn’t stop to countthe cost. Tis is a government thatno odds can intimidate. Tis is agovernment that will always dowhatever is necessary to place it
27 seats in the Country o Belize.
And I am being conserva-tive. You know, ladies and gentle-men. All o us are eeling the hype;the buzz is out there; the moodis out there; the sentiment is outthere; the eeling is out there. Inact, I had to tell some o our sup-porters, slow down. You knowwhat one o them told me? Te way this thing is going, we will win 32seats! Only 31 people are running,but he thinks we will win 32 seats.
On a serious note, ladiesand gentlemen, it is not about
win better than pretty lose, so we
will take it any way we can getit, even i you say it’s by deault.Tose same pundits, those sameexperts, those same analysts arenow conessing as to how wrongthey were; it is not that nobody wants the PUP, it is that every-body wants the UDP (applause).
What you see happening,what you saw on Wednesday,what you are seeing today, thistremendous unprecedented out-pouring o support and love, actualL-O-V-E, love, that the people o

rmly on the side o the Peopleo this Country. Tis is a govern-
ment that has restored pride toBelize. Tis is a government thathas said to the outside world, wedon’t care how big you are big, wedon’t care how rich you are rich;whenever you meet Belizean spiritand will and determination, youwill have to give way, because weare coming like a mighty orce toensure that we enshrine national-ism, sovereignty as a paramounteature o Belizean culture andthe Belizean political landscape.
I want to close by telling
you just a little bit about what wehave planned or the next ve years.
o start with, that 300 dol-lars a year subsidy to rst and sec-ond ormers will go up immediately,we take oce again, to 350 dollars.
We shall expand the pro-poor programs. he Food Pan-try that is in Belize District andthe Cayo District, and the o-ledo District, we will ensure thatthe ood-subsidy, ood-pantry program is enshrined in every
single district o this Country.What we have done interms o the essential utilities andthe lowering o the electricity rates;it is right here in a ew days time,you will get your February bill, youknow; and when you get that Feb-ruary bill and you see how muchthe thing went down by, I believei we call a meeting then, we willhave a bigger celebration than whatwe are seeing out here this evening.
And we’ve already dealtwith the Ministry o Housing
and the Social Security Board;as soon as we take back oiceagain, we will start to write o the mortgages at the Develop-ment Finance Corporation.
And, this is the most sol-emn promise I want to make thisevening. Right now, because o what is happening in the interna-tional oil markets, we are gettinghammered at the pump. Every time a new shipment comes, dieselgone up; gasoline gone up; the last
time even kerosene gone up. Well,I make a promise that the UnitedDemocratic Party will deal withthat as soon as we get back intopower. I don’t care what we have todo to get the money and the exper-tise, we will establish a national re-nery so that the oil in this country,instead o being exported abroadand then having to be re-importedin the nished-product orm, willbe rened right here in Belize inorder to give you the consumerlower pump prices (applause).
We are talking to somepeople right now, and they aretelling us that this will take about18 months to do; and we will doit. But beore we even do that, we
will nd space in this country to setup storage tanks. And then we willbegin to buy the imported productin terms o oil rom Venezuela,which is giving us a special deal.
We might not have enough storagespace to take the Venezuelan oiland give everybody, but at the very
least, we will have enough storagespace so that all government de-partments will operate on the basiso the cheaper Venezuelan uel;and with the savings that we e-ect, we will then turn around andlower the taxes to you with respectto the imported petroleum prod-ucts, so that right away you willstart to see lower petroleum prices.
And inally, when I tellyou that this government is notaraid o a soul, you look on therecord with respect to the na-
tionalizations; you know that istrue. And that is why, in makingthe announcement about themarch 7th election I said we areasking the people o this Country or a new mandate to do sev-eral things, including somethingabout the Super Bond (applause).

Lane, Belize City, Belize.
All the bureaucrats in theMinistry o Finance, all the econo-
mists who are my advisors say,Boss, you can’t do that, becausethe rating agencies will downgradeBelize. You know what I told them?o hell with the rating agencies;no rating agency can come in my house and tell me what I must doand what I must not do; and whenthey downgrade a country, it meansthat the country i it is borrowingon the commercial market, as whatthe PUP used to do, will nd thecost o borrowing more expensive.
But I am not borrowing onany commercial market. We arepaddling our own canoe based onan economy that is striving rightnow, based on ourism numbersthat are through the roo, based oncitrus prices that have gone to thetop; I don’t need to go and borrowany money on any external com-mercial markets, so I don’t give adamn about any rating agencies.
What I am doing i stelling them, you know what,I am serving you notice, look
out and get ready because Be-lize is coming; we are coming.
Tere is no doubt that thePeople’s United Party, in terms o this super bond, did a horriblething to the people o Belize. But,I know or a long time; a wise mansaid it ions ago; you can’t have abad borrower i you don’t have abad lender. So, all o you out there,Mr. Man, who were happy to lendthe PUP this money and burden ustill kingdom come with this superbond, well hear this; we are comingback to you, and we are telling youthat you will re-negotiate that, youwill take down that interest rate;you will spread the maturity periodover a ar longer time. We will stoppaying that 8.5 percent interest andeighty odd million dollars a year,because we need that money tospend on the development o Be-lize, on the People o this Country.
So, you will nd, you willhear that the irst thing we doater being re-elected is to an-
nounce the appointment o ateam to go and renegotiate thatsuper bond to give us better rates,ar better rates, because we ain’ttaking it no more! (applause)
I know what I am doing,because I know that I have youthe people o Belize behind me.You know all o us in this Cabi-net. You know that we are notirresponsible; but you know thatwe are not conchs either. We haveblood running through our veins.
So, Mr. Super bond holder outthere, i you don’t come to termswith us, we will NO stop pay-ing you, you know; but we arenot going to pay you at the rate
it, because this is a people, the Be-lizean people who simply will notknuckle under to any oreigner;who simply will not knuckle underto any big man; who simply will
we are able to do because o you.When Landy was going
o, it reminded me that nothingo what he said was as true as hisreminder that he has always been awarrior or the United DemocraticParty, a warrior or Orange Walk;and that during the darkest dayso the UDP, when we were in thepolitical doldrums, when we werein the political wilderness, whenthey had conned us to a politicalinerno, Landy Burns hang all thesigns on his shop. He had no coveror his mouth. He stood tall, evenas a businessman, knowing that a
vindictive government could have
pressured him, and he traced o Johnny Briceno, and he tracedo the PUP. And my point is thatit is that kind o warrior bloodthat is replicated throughout yourUDP Cabinet, throughout yourUDP Government. (Applause).
And that is why I close by saying, look out, World, Belize iscoming. hank you, ladies andgentlemen; just don’t let us getcomplacent. Come out March 7,continue the work between nowand then, and let that red tsunamiabsolutely wash away the People’sUnited Party, cleanse the land onemore time, and set up everythingor a period o even greater prog-ress and enlightenment; a periodo unmatched prosperity underthe second coming o your UnitedDemocratic Party (applause).
Buenas Noches. Des-de el ondo de mi corazon, unmillion de gracias! (Applause)
Great Things Achieved - Greater Things ComingPM Dean Barrow’s Speech at Orange Walk East Rally
that you are charging bus now.And i you don’t agree to re-
negotiate the rates so that we couldpay you what is manageable, thenyou know what? We will not pay you at all! (Applause) We, i they don’t come to terms with us, i they don’t see reason, we will deault onthe Super Bond and be proud o
not turn tail and run rom any large country. We are Belizeans;the blood o the Baymen runsthrough our veins. (Applause).
So, Ladies and Gentle-men, that is what is on the agenda;that is what is on the menu orthe second UDP term. Again,everything that we are able to do,
“Well, I make a promise that the United Demo-cratic Party will deal with that as soon as we get backinto power. I don’t care what we have to do to get themoney and the expertise, we will establish a national refnery so that the oil in this country, instead o being exported abroad and then having to be re-imported in the fnished-product orm, will be refned right here in Belize
in order to give you the consumer lower pump prices.”

Faith Lift
By Zelda Hill
Today in Belize, the
outcome of a trial
for the worst in-
justice that can ever be
committed against another
human being is often pre-dictable. Murderers are
awarded with the free-
dom to repeat their grave
offenses despite the en-
hancements to our system
of law enforcement and
the judiciary. While the
pleas for the reinstitution
of the death penalty are
challenged by those who
merge capital punishment
with human rights abuse,
the lawless exact private
revenge and fuel the car-
nage. Some 600 years
before Christ’s birth, a
similar situation evolved
in the land of Israel, which
provoked God to issue a
reminder and a warning
to the prophet Ezekiel.
God said to the
prophet: “The sin of Israeland Judah is exceedingly
great; the land is full of
bloodshed and the city
is full of injustice. They
say, ‘the Lord has forsaken
the land; the Lord does
not see.’ So I will not
look on them with pity
or spare them, but I will
bring down on their own
heads what they have
done (Ezekiel 9:9-10).”
W h i l e s o m e
may a rg u e t h a t o u r
country’s predicament
is a consequence of the
global economic crisis,
we can rest assured that
our recovery rests in
the hands of God. His
offer of blessing or curse
in accordance with our
Roll Out Te Justice, Please!
“When a lie is intentionally snued out by another human being, beore birth or ater,
generations o potential lives are also included
in the total loss to humankind. For these rea-sons and more, murder is such a grave injus-tice which we must not continue to pardon.”
individual and collective
obedience has not expired
(Deuteronomy 11:26-27)
and He still holds an entire
nation accountable when
we fail to demand or deliver
justice for those who are
being innocently slain.
God is just and our
desire for justice endors-
es the revelation that we
are created in His im-
age and likeness (Genesis
1:26-27). The Bible con-
rms that God establishes
nations that follow His
statutes and withdraws
His blessing from those
that neglect to do what
is just and right (Jeremi-
ah 12:17;18:8-9). God
is omnipresent and His
eyes behold the evil and
the good while His handsmove to exact judgment
when innocent blood pol-
lutes the land and justice is
denied. In the Scriptures,
the Psalmist lamented on
the time when the Israelites
shed innocent blood by
sacricing their children
to the idols of Canaan and
God exacted revenge by
allowing an enemy nationto rule over and oppress
them (Psalm106:37- 42).
Even before the Is-
raelites entered Canaan,
God advised them to set
aside cities of refuge for
those who killed uninten-
tionally because if inno-
cent blood was shed, the
people would be guilty of
bloodshed. The one who
hated his neighbor and lay
in wait for him and killed
him, was handed over to
the avenger of blood to
die because the guilt of
shedding innocent blood
had to be purged so that
it may go well with the
nation (Deut 19:10-13).
On another occa-
sion, when God was ready
to pass judgment on Je-
rusalem because of their
iniquity, including all the
bloodshed, He ordered
an angel to mark only the
foreheads of the people
who grieved and lament-
ed over all the detestable
things that were done in
it. Those with the mark
were spared from God’s
wrath (Ezekiel 9:1-10).
Former AmericanPresident, Thomas Jeffer-
son, once said , “I tremble
for the future of my coun-
try when I’m reminded
that God is just. And that
His justice will not sleep
forever.” As beings that
share God’s likeness in
attributes, we should hate
what God hates and love
what He loves. The griev-ing and lamenting over
the shedding of innocent
blood should not only be
heard by those who suffer
such loss but our collective
cries for justice should be
constant and shattering un-
til God’s appointed agents
who are not to “bear the
sword in vain” inict just
punishment on those who
do wrong (Romans 13:4).
In addition to pro-
voking God’s judgment
and interrupting the com-
fort of human life, mur-
der is acclaimed by the
devil who Jesus said is “a
murderer from the begin-
ning” (John 8:44). His
goal is to destroy the hu-
man race, physically and
spiritually, because Hedespises those who are
created in God’s image.
When a life is in-
tentionally snuffed out by
another human being, be-
fore birth or after, genera-
tions of potential lives are
also included in the total
loss to humankind. For
these reasons and more,
murder is such a grave
injustice which we must
not continue to pardon.
As a nation, we do
not want to fall under the
just judgments of God and
incur heavier penalties.
On the contrary, we
desire peace, plenty, and
prosperity of every kind and
such will be afforded to our
nation when “justice rolls
on like a river and right-eousness like a never-fail-
ing stream (Amos 5:24)”.
