I did not really bring closure to my first two primary agendas -- but I will take credit for bringing AWARENESS to the issues.
And given the MEXICAN FIRING SQUAD MENTALITY of the STEELBAND AUTHORITY in TRINIDAD, the most I could hope to accomplish with my NEW AGENDA is to bring awareness to a GREAT NEED in the PAN TING in THE MECCA.
So I am calling for the formation of an INDEPENDENT PAN BODY in TRINIDAD that is focused on PAN PROGRESS in THE MECCA. But not just LOCAL PAN PROGRESS -- GLOBAL PAN PROGRESS.
PAN TRINBAGO HAS FAILED and PAN TRINBAGO will CONTINUE TO FAIL. But that should not mean the DEATH of PAN PROGRESS both LOCALLY and GLOBALLY.
So I am calling on all the GENUINE PAN LOVERS both LOCALS and EXPATS to think about the structure and possibilities if GENUINE PAN LOVERS decide to join forces and start a PAN ORGANIZATION that is INDEPENDENT of the GOVERNMENT HANDOUTS and THE EXPLOITATIVE ORGANIZATION that has squandered HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS while pretending to REPRESENT THE BEST INTEREST OF PAN.
THE BIG FIVE HAS FAILED!!! You really cannot put STEELBANDS and STEELBAND LEADERS to run this NEW ORGANIZATION -- THE LEADERSHIP has to come from a DIFFERENT MINDSET.
Now, given the PAN CULTURE, I don't expect that THIS AGENDA will bring about change in my lifetime. But my mission is to BRING AWARENESS to THIS NEED. And from AWARENESS, action will eventually EMERGE.
I will single out ONE NAME who I think could be INSTRUMENTAL in this NEW ORGANIZATION and that person is ARTHUR TRAVERSO. He is a GENUINE PAN LOVER who has the BEST INTEREST OF PAN at HEART. I will put BERTEL GITTENS and GREGORY LINDSAY in that category, too.
But BEVERLEY tief dem TWO GOOD MEN HEAD and dey gone tootoolbay over a FALSE PROPHET. That is a LOCAL PAN DISEASE. Luckily, ARTHUR TRAVERSO is an EXPAT so HE HAS SEEN THE LIGHT!!!
I am willing TO HELP in whatever way I could!!!

Claude: the thing is, after hungering for so long for something, anything, from Pan Trinbago, whatever she now brings to the table will be "Too Little, Too Late!"
I know that she has a large debt to clear but what is she actually doing about it? I hope she doesn't wait until October/November before she starts informing us of her plans for Panorama 2020 because pan is not just about Panorama!!
