Barbados Government’s Propaganda Response For Director Of Public Prosecutions – “Ronja Juman Is A Thief, A Whore, A Druggie – She Deserved It”

Jump to Comments

Good day, friends!

Please take the time to read this article so you can understand something that will be happening at Barbados Free Press later today. We want you to know the background so you can clearly see the Government’s current strategies to deal with BFP and also the government’s attempts to defuse the situation involving the DPP and police thuggery against Ronja Juman and her son.

The Government Attacks Against Barbados Free Press Continue – With A Twist

As our regular readers know, for the past few months Barbados Free Press has been inundated with thousands upon thousands of vile comments designed to shut down freedom of speech, especially our readers’ discussion of government corruption and other vital issues. In response, for two months BFP staffed the comment moderation almost 21 hours a day in four shifts. But we have real jobs and families, so that couldn’t be a permanent solution.

Through sources and our own enquiries, we know that these attacks were coordinated and that they were carried out by agents of the Government of Barbados. (For any doubters, read on to the end of this article and your doubts will be gone)

Agents of the Government also put up their own blogs with names similar to BFP – the idea being to piggy-back upon BFP’s Google hits and popularity to continue the attacks against free speech. The same people who established those blogs and flooded our comments section with vile filth also made violent threats against BFP’s writers, a local business owner and a DLP candidate and their families and homes.

A few weeks ago, we were forced to put Barbados Free Press on “moderate all comments”. The attacks continued, but it was easier to list the spam once an hour, dump it and then post the rest of the good comments.

BFP’s Readership Soars!

The number of comments declined, but average daily readership soared with our first print edition – and has stayed right up there. In fact, two days ago we welcomed visitor number 1,500,000 (1.5 million) and moved to the top 20 on the WordPress Top Blogs list. Not bad for a nothing little part time blog out of an island with a population smaller than most US cities!

At current traffic levels, over 3 million people will visit Barbados Free Press in the next 12 months from all over the world. And that is not counting the folks who read a paper or emailed edition of BFP!

The coordinated government attack with the strategy of posting thousands of vile comments backfired and caused us to do something different – the print edition – and that resulted in unprecedented visitor growth.

Vile Comments Cease – Overnight!

Then three days ago, the vile comments stopped.

Just like that.

We used to receive dozens of vile, threatening comments from three or four IPs in an obviously coordinated attack, then as soon as we blocked the IPs, the attackers would establish new internet routes and go at it again in a contest of will that ran 24/7 for months.

The comments stopped.

They were there, and then they weren’t. Similarly the government blogs became dormant with no new attack “articles.”

Someone Ordered The Attack Campaign Against BFP To Stop

How foolish those coordinating the attacks against BFP have been! The fact that the vile comments stopped all at once is proof enough for any doubters that the attack was a coordinated effort.

For the past three days, we have had the comments section wide open again with no moderation and not one vile comment has been posted!

Why did the attacks stop? That’s easy… someone ordered that this form of attack was to stop.

Now that we have mentioned how the attacks suddenly stopped, there will probably be a few more – but it is too late. Our readers have seen proof with their own eyes that the attacks upon Barbados Free Press were coordinated!

The people attacking BFP made a public mistake and showed the world that the attacks were a coordinated strategy.

A New Strategy – Posting Single Comments To Defuse The Ronja Juman Incident

The same government agents have now adopted another tactic – trying to influence the debate by posting single comments from one IP before moving on to another IP and posting a supporting comment in a different name.

Here are two comments posted an hour apart from two IPs. Both are by the same writer. How do we know that? We’ll have to defer on the public explanation for now, and it will have to be sufficient just to say that the government agents made some other mistakes that Cliverton picked up on.

Notice how these and other similar comments on the Ronja Juman articles imply that the writer has confidential or “inside” knowledge or knows Juman. This is insidious propaganda designed to divert the attention from the actions of the Director of Public Prosecutions, the police and Juman’s involvement with a man who appears to have been misusing his position to defraud the government of import duties and VAT.

The strategy is obvious… The government hopes to defuse the situation by saying that Ronja Juman * (Mrs. Juman’s first name is spelled two ways in various court documents “Ronya” and “Ronja”) deserved what happened to her because she is a thief, a whore and a druggie. Previous comments spoke of “inside” knowledge that the police action was really a drug raid, and that’s why the vaginal search at the police station.

Read the BFP articles yourselves, folks. Look at the documents posted online at the Justice B Mine website. Make up your own minds. We have examined all and find that the police nighttime raid, naked vaginal search, interrogation and criminal charges are all about back rent owed to the Director of Public Prosecutions.

I don’t know Ronja Juman. She might be a thief, a whore and a druggie for all I know…

… or not. But that has nothing to do with the Director of Public Prosecutions misusing his authority, the police and the courts to harass and intimidate a person so they will pay him back rent on his apartment building.

Here are the propaganda posts from the one government agent. There are many similar comments already posted, and you can expect more of the same…

Re—Ronya Juman

What a story…but it is not strange to me…..a story has 3 sides..

I am familiar with this woman…..for the time I knew her she told that story of her husband…..but I realized that both of them were ideal for each other….they both both rented houses over the years and moved out without settling the bills….I remembered the condos and apartment owned by my friends at sunset Crest St. James..the matter called for extreme action to recover the rent arrears…

This woman is a stranger to the truth…she is a con-woman…her skin is pretty ….she looks at sex as nothing more than a plaster on a cut….

Have you seen how she recalled those events….she mentioned all the names….what do think de Rev…was doing come on!….he was her man..she entertains for money….she tricks you ….uses you….and most most men who are ignorant will be trapped….

  • I see what you mean BFP. You can see the plan in the comments to discredit Juman. Never a mention of what the DPP or police did.

    Regarding the bad comments stopping all at once. You are right there too! What fools!

  • The filthy comments stopped “just like that” ? !

    That is proof enough for me that they were coordinated. Maybe they were coming from a “boiler room” operation and the government shut it down?

    ?

  • The measure of our society should be that, even if a person is bad, she gets treated with respect and all of the protections available at law. If this woman were a murderer, drug addict, thief or anything close all the more important that she be given full and due process with the press fully informed.

    Anyone in Barbados that thinks otherwise deserves the government we get and may be its next victim.

    If the DPP has not already been put on suspension (with pay until all facts are known) we already have the answer as to whether our country’s government respects its people.

  • I think it’s fairly obvious to anyone with half a brain that the government tried, they failed and at last realised that the strategy had backfired. However, I’m not nearly convinced that the Ronya Juman case is as cut and dried as it appears. Nor am I working for the BLP, Masons or Mafia. This is the problem with online contributions – I have seen no evidence other than her deposition and her online statements to prove anything. It could have been a horrendous miscarriage of justice but then again it could well be a malicious attempt to spin a drug-related story positively. I simply don’t know and I suspect that very few people do either. Can we have some fact checking please on this ?

  • It’s sad when someone is treated with such disrespect especially when it comes from those that we have trusted to up hold the law and maintain a certain level of diginity and respect in our society.

  • The system that allows the U.N. to seize all assets unlawfully gained by corrupt politicians will be greatly needed before the next election,BFP you and you readers need to e-mail to the U.N all the names of corrupt politicians and friends(nicholls,shorey etc) and have all these people brought up on corruption charges and all their ill-gained taxpayer assets in offshore accounts seized and returned to the people,jail time is also in order for these criminals.

    Unfortunately Barbados did not sign on to this system which would have offered some protection and comfort to taxpayers who have been betrayed.

    Do you think they will sign on now?

  • Oh the UN is coming, just not for all the reasons you would think.

  • BFP, I know I questioned your moderation policies in the past but with the utter stupidity I am seeing with the return of the Idiot and the nasty comments I think I owe you an apology… I fiercely object to this ignorance and if it is from a BLP source Shame on them…

    Can’t we disagree and not call each other names Good God we are debating our country’s future there is no room for this ignorance.

  • notesfromthemargin

    Of course the attacks were co-ordinated, BFPE bragged about it.

    If our article on the “The Stupidity of Barbados Free Press Exposed” on the 18th helped to bring an end to the comments then we are glad to have contributed.

    Who would you like to be convinced by?

    a government that operates from the darkness and does not openly discuss issues in a free, open and honest manner ? or

    a woman and her allies who are willing to put everything on the line and disclose what they have because the legal system has conspired against her most minimum basic rights of dignity and due process?

    What we have here is a strip search in the middle of the night for non-payment of rent. This is a flagrant abuse of power and would require immediate firing of the DPP in just about any democratic country.

    Sorry did I say democratic country? I must have been thinking of another country.

    Its nice to see the animals have been let out of their cage again

  • BFP: I had serious doubts when I read your comments about the vile BLP posters disappearing. I thought to myself, “I hope BFP aren’t speaking too soon”, and here we have them back again. So, back to the moderation, I guess.

  • PoliticsAndBuddha

    The good people of Burma (Myanmar) are on the streets, led by Buddhist monks, protesting the policies of the dictatorial and corrupt government.

    Do you think the religious leaders in Barbados would make a similar gesture here in protest against the apparent corruption here?

  • PandB you can’t be comparing Barbados to Myanmar,,,,, there can be no comparison between the two. We say that Barbados is bad, but have you seriously considered what it would be like if we were under a military dictatorship, people of opposing views extinguished , or banished to house arrest indefinitely…. No No P and B go and come again.

  • YUM YUM I like it!

    PoliticsAndBuddha

    Great point.

    Can’t see it happening.

  • For some reason my last post has disappeared.
    Pand B what I had said in it was there cannot be a comparison between Barbados and Myanmar as we do not have a military dictatorship.. I won’t go any further with my comment as It might also disappear

  • it has been drawn to my attention that a former goverment minister is to be charge before the barbados court for not paying national insurance for his workers, he stop backing the p.m and has said he is backing mia and the prime minister has given his cousin the chief officer of the royal barbados police force the go ahead to prosecute him and it is rumor that he want to buy Dr. Dennis Lowe over to his party to run for rommell marshall seat ROMMEL YA GONE THROUGH THE EDDOES say it in so.

  • Is non-payment of National Insurance a police matter? I don’t think so.

  • Oh yes it is most certainly something that the Crown can charge the person with, this in itself is a sickening action because when these workers will need the help of NIS it will only be then that they will discover the dishonesty of the employer.

  • notesfromthemargin

    basically its deducting money from someones salary and not paying it over.

    Yes it’s a very serious matter.

  • Its teifing when done.
    Now I shall break into song

    Help me ronja
    Help help me ronja
    Help me ronja
    Help help me ronja

    She was gonna be my wife
    And I was gonna be her man
    But she let another guy come between us
    And it ruined our plan

  • notesfromthemargin

    sigh…..
    I guess regular readers would know by now that I didn’t make that post.

    Marginal.

    somewhere a village is missing an idiot.

  • And I guess BFP know for sure that I didn’t make the comment attributed to me either. A village is missing an idiot is right, and the Psychiatric Hospital is missing a few of its inmates.

  • What really got attention was this comment below that was written by an unknown person see below and then I will comment on this statement

    Quote:

    “The system that allows the U.N. to seize all assets unlawfully gained by corrupt politicians will be greatly needed before the next election,BFP you and you readers need to e-mail to the U.N all the names of corrupt politicians and friends(nicholls,shorey etc) and have all these people brought up on corruption charges and all their ill-gained taxpayer assets in offshore accounts seized and returned to the people,jail time is also in order for these criminals.

    Masai Response :

    I am writing you from Montreal , Canada , never have I been to Barbados , have no relatives in Barbados and only relationship to its people is through Slavery. All you on that Island better take your own business in your hands and stop getting the U.N involved before you get a mad flux of rich bureaucrats come in and buy more of your land , you think you have them bad down dere in the sun and fun , you all better hold on

  • I urge all BFP and BU bloggers and readers who are really interested in knowing the truth, to get a background. This background involves the reading n and understanding of the “Hegelian Dialectic” principal. It will open your eyes. You’ll be surprised that even the position you hold on anything is influenced by it. More will come later.

  • Pelican:

    I don’t want to listen to some 200 year dead and ` somewhat discredited German, you explain this theory, and its relevance to modern Barbados.

    That is what this blog is for!

    In your own words enlighten us, and let the people comment.

  • What is the relevance Straight talk ? it’s everything. Let’s go. If i can control what people think,say,wear,their listening and eating habits I can control them all. Each of these factors is part of the same whole. Further more, if one can control the voting process and habits (not illegally) then the purposes of a particular group can be worked out in a government of their making( name or type is irrelevant).

    So printing a “big” story once in a while may give the illusion that yes there’s some freedom of speech in the press(the big cover up is uncovered).

    Here’s something else, there has arisen the perception that we’re not getting all the truth about many matters. So hence, we have the group who believes that there is somewhat freedom of speech, and yet there’s another group who perceives without “real” proof that something is wrong,but nothing is being said or can be said about it (no real freedom).

    Then there’s a group who believe they have the truth. This group has gleaned snippets for the most part of what they believe is true. These snippets are related as truth, but unfortunately it’s not the full truth.

    What do we have then ? Three seemingly different points of view in which everyone falls into:
    1. There is freedom of speech and we believe it.
    2. Something is wrong with the expression of free speech but we can’t prove it.
    3. We have the truth about a particular story of incident and we have the right or freedom to reveal whatever it maybe.

    So what happens in “modern” Barbados ? Well, we get enough news to give those who believe there’s freedom of speech enough to keep them convinced there is. Impressions are given via certain practices of some radio stations that you have spoken out of term (hence the cut for liable purposes) leaving the other group with the thought that something is wrong but they can’t really prove it.

    Then finally, enough truth is fed mixed with close-ended statements which give those who feel they have the truth the impression they have it. This group believes it’s their right to reveal or speak it.

    This division helps perpetuate the system, without it it would fail. Get the people split along certain lines and you can perpetuate any system. Fear, Politics and consumers in a later post.

  • Thanks Pelican.

    I like the analogy and will read up some, now I know where you’re coming from.

  • Lets have the print edition with this DPP vs. Ronja Juman story please. BU blog has interesting information on the post of DPP. Lets hope this story coming out on the blogs results in more than exchange of opinions.

  • The only crime Ronya Juman is quilty of was convincing her family in signing for her in marrying at age 17yrs. to Charles Juman at that time 35yrs. old after eloping with him to Trinidad. By the time his drug habit came to light he had her with him infront of the law at age 18yrs.
    All the negative comments what a pity to read how her being smart effected some bitter men out there and there might even be some women because those who really knows Ronya would know that she has a “Fearlessheart” and she was thought that”we must not make a scare crow of the law”…… and “with God all things are possible” according to one’s belief.
    THE LORD REIGNS …. and he said “Judge not and ye shall not be judge”
    Stop the talk and do the Walk.
