The headquarters for hard-hitting discussion on issues and sharing of up-to-date information deemed to be relevant to Choiseul/Saltibus and the St. Lucian diaspora generally. The mainstream news media have not always lived up to our expectations in publishing our views or news and information about us. The POWERHOUSE attempts to fill that gap. We encourage everyone, everywhere to participate by sharing news, views, ideas and opinions about any topic of relevance.
THE POWERHOUSE IS GOING PLACES!
The Choiseul PowerHouse is “powering ahead” in Cyberspace with the speed of light. Some claim we are hard-hitting and controversial; some claim we are intellectual and academic! Some even claim we are political! Everybody is right! We are all of those things! We have a diverse global audience and it is our pleasure to stimulate your intellectual taste buds and we make no apologies for that. The bottomline is we are independent and have no affinity to any organisation: political or otherwise! We will continue to publish our "power articles"
We wish to extend special thanks to followers for their support. We also encourage you to post your comments and feedback on the Blog using the comments link following the Articles.

Altercation between Politician and Young Man?
Allegations are rife that a certain politician had a freak altercation with a constituent. Sources close the PowerHouse reported that the politician was en route to the Choiseul River apparently to collect water for distribution to his constituency when a young man allegedly cracked a joke with him. He took offense and physically attacked the young man who allegedly struck back. The result was a brief altercation between them.
It's amazing how some of our leaders who hold high office are "loosing it". Lately, one of the candidates for Choiseul/Saltibus constituency seem to have become excessively and inexplicably aggressive. Constituents are puzzled by this "seemingly charismatic" politician's behaviour whose campaign has gone to the point of attacks even on honorable and respected citizens of the constituency.
Choiseulians are going through a process of "political enlightenment" and "disillusionment". They are beginning to see the wolf in sheep's clothing; and this seems to be having a telling impact on the faculties of fraudulent politicians even to the point of causing violence.
The PowerHouse is investigating the altercation story.
Yes, indeed! I heard the story, too.It is spreading like wildfire but the victim has a different version. You better talk to him. I understand it may even end up in the courts.
ReplyDeleteIs it also true that the district rep embarked on a character assassination campaign on some ladies from Mongouge? Please investigate the story and bring the truth to light.
ReplyDeleteI am very much perturbed by Rufus' behaviour, his is getting more desperate by the second however does choiseulians really expect anything better from Rufus and man who runs all over the place(after the young "stuip, shameless" girls),on helicopter fleeing for is constituants, now attacking people!What is there left for Rufus to do? Watch the arrogance Rufus you need to.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it normal for we human beings to sow emotion? Some of us behave ignorant to the fact that whenever someone in society has a certain post as a teacher, doctor, politician etc. must always comply with "Values and Norms" that we ourselves have created. Come on...express yourself!...if someone were to strike at me...I would!.....We're only human beings...everyone has their breaking point. Furthermore, I'm not on any side. I hope this doesn't turn out top be a political blog.
ReplyDeleteThis page seems to be a great idea although the true motives behind it wll eventually be revealed if the story above is any indication of the unnoticed news referred to. Neither candidate appeals to me and a small emotionally harged altercation will not sway me in either direction. Neither candidate lives in the constituency. Rather they use the connections they have there to further their personal political ambititions. Choiseulians deserve better. Unfortunately, the nasty political climate deters any true, honest individual from entering the arena and providing the kind of representation that choiseul and st. Lucia deserve.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that neither candidate lives in the constituency does not affect their ability to properly represent it. the altercation between Rufus and the man goes to show the character we are dealing with and the information is that he the district rep hit the man first.I agree that Choiseul deserves better, that is why Lorne is the man, we voting. Better days are coming, a better rep is coming.

Have any of you seen Lorne's campaign team? A master shot, if I may say so. If a person is to be judged by those he surrounds himself by, then Lorne is destined for great things. See you on election day
ReplyDeleteYes! he does have a great campaign. Doctors & all. A clean, high profile team of honest men and women There's even an experienced researcher, a pollster and analyst on board. all good, clean persons. Rufus must be having many sleepless nights!
