• From Cris Hassell on Saba’s Longest-Serving Governor Jonathan Johnson Announces End of Tenure After 17 Years

    Jonathan Johnson served with Ethics and principles. very honorable to see him step aside so that it does not look like a Dictatorship! It is fair to say others deserve a chance! The New Lieutenant Governor should be a Native from the Mother Country the Netherlands! That way the Dutchmen can also Serve as intermediary to regulate the relentless issue of Nepotism on Saba! All Lieutenant Governors in All the 5 Dutch Netherlands Antilles islands Curacao, Aruba, St. Maarten, Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba should be born in Europe in the Mother Country to regulate and oversee issues of Nepotism and favoratism!

  • From Cris Hassell on Dutch Government Launches €100 Million Grant Program for Slavery History Initiatives

    What about a 100 Millón Grant Program just to simple help poor families today who are Enslaved financialy to low incomes? Is great to remember the past because if You do not know where You come from You won’t know where You are going. But the New type of slavery in todays modern world is poverty.
    Emancipate Yourselves from Mental Slavery! Such as descrimination, Prejudice and Racism is mental slavery! When will We be free from a Not Equal, Unjust, corrupt system and from uneven Distributión of wealth and Goverment Resources? How long will the poor people and families be ignored? When will the Real Emancipation be Proclaimed???

  • From Maria Christina Sarmiento Firme on Public Entity Saba Prepares Changes in the Rental Market on Saba

    In my eyes, this seems like establishing an island-wide homeowners association. May seem simple with all the good intentions stated but really is such a delicate, tricky endeavor to venture in. A potential source of a plethora of discriminations. Whoever gets to be “in-command” together with his team would have to be people who are not easily swayed in giving “personal favors” and should have no conflict of interest with the post. That is why, for a start prerequisite, I strongly believe that everybody in the would-be team should not own nor actively manage any housing rental unit in Saba.

    • From Gloria Ann Johnson on Saba Engages Community in Shaping Its First Spatial Development Plan

      Local people should go and express their interest and give their opinions and thoughts about planning on this beautiful Island Saba .
      Public views are very important especially with all
      national building and state building happening on Saba the Unspoiled Queen!
      This is how foreign entities can clam properties outside their country!
      Citizens must voice their concerns and have input into the affairs of the island they come form
      Or spatial – Development – will be pushed on us from outsider sources!!
      Let your voice be heard and answered !!
      Come out with your ideas as a whole community!!
      Thank you!!

  • From Cris Hassell on PEP Leader Saskia Matthew Defends Absence, Questions Legitimacy of Saba IC Meetings

    Not so long ago in 2024 This WPM Regime Dictatorship Under Bruce Zagers was scolded by the Central Goverment of Bonaire of the BES islands for lack of transparency and now they are even violating Quórum procedures in meetings and democratic norms! When You have two jokers self- Center individuals leading Saba; with their interest in mind and not the Saba people: these are the type of cheap political gamemanship they get involved in. Collecting Big Salaries for nothing! They are a utter failure to Saba people!

  • From Cris Hassell on Cabinet Restart or New Elections? - Updated

    I regret to report this but Geert Wilders with his PVV party is making The Netherlands look worse than Willemstad, Curacao and The Island of Haití with Goverment collapsing every time. The PVV party is turning the Dutch Goverment into a Banana Republic Goverment! Does Geert Wilders think this will improve anything? This is an Unstable Goverment; Dutch people are seeing that Geert Wilders is not serious at all about Governing the Netherlands because he can not even keep a reliable Coalition. He is creating unncessary Chaos. On the other hand on Small Saba there is a WIPM REGIME Dictatorship under Bruce Zagers. This is unacceptable!

  • From Cris Hassell on Commissioner Heyliger Urges Island Council to Fulfill Their Role in Strengthening Education

    When there is No transparency in the Executive council of Saba; it is nearly imposible for the Saba Island Council to fashion policies to improve education that work for the wonderful Saba students. The banking systems is not even reliable and education should be a Portfolio functioning with no issues whatsoever. I think that the Commissioner need to Serve Saba better You can not be collecting such high salaries for nothing! This WIPM Regime dictatorship with Bruce Zagers is no longer good for Saba! It is not serving Saba!!!

  • From Capt Jack Sparrow on Hyacinth House Restoration has begun

    When I was visiting Saba from NY , way back in the day, we would visit Hyacinth and Leonard. Two of the nicest people you would ever meet. They were family on my mothers side…..but then again almost everybody on Saba is family on both my mother and fathers side. Johnson / Hassell.
    We say that we don’t have a family tree…..we have a family bush !
