Jamaican dancehall artiste Beenie Man and his band the Ruff Cut Crew are scheduled to perform at the United National Congress Alliance's closing rally on Saturday at the Aranjuez Savannah.

The event, dubbed "Dance of the Revolution", also features Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and the number one Bollywood dance troupe from India, while US civil right activist Rev Jesse Jackson is carded to deliver the feature address.

Only last week, a Jamaican magistrate issued a warrant for the immediate arrest of the Beenie Man, after he failed to appear in the Civil Division of the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court.

The DJ, whose real name is Moses Davis, was booked to appear before RM Parkins to answer to charges of tax evasion, due to his alleged failure to pay his income tax.

He reportedly owes the Jamaican government $29.29 million in back taxes and $18.64 million in penalties, bringing the outstanding amount to $47.93 million.

When the Express asked UNC-A co-leader Jack Warner whether Beenie Man was able to leave the Jamaica, he said: "As far as I am aware, he is able to leave or else we would not be bringing him."

He then went on to describe the rally as, "The mother of all rallies".

Salman Khan is a popular Indian film actor who appears in Bollywood movies.

Khan, who made his acting debut with the film Biwi Ho To Aisi (1988), had his first commercial success with the blockbuster Maine Pyar Kiya (1989), and won a Filmfare Best Debut Award for his performance.

During his career years, he was the leading actor in some of Bollywood's biggest hits, such as Saajan (1991), Hum Aapke Hain Kaun (1994), Biwi No.1 (1999) and No Entry (2005).

Some of the local artistes billed to perform are Maximus Dan, Denise "Saucy Wow" Belfon, Soca Elvis and the CLICO Shiv Shakti dancers.

I wonder if them drug lord Panday said were backing the COP now switch they support to the UNCA ?
you don't feel good until you make an arse of yourself eh!
if corpse was bringing him you wouldn't have said anything

[cm103]

Not the COP style to be bringing foreign civil rights leaders to tell Trinis how to handle their affairs.

This is the backup plan to Mandela?

[Sumana]

Do you even understand how campaigns with class are conducted?
Do you understand how campaigns of international standards are conducted?

[Maccogirl]

Look at the support base of the COP you really feel they will ever bring people like Jackson and Sharpton to T&T get real, even if the COP had all the money you wont see that, and it has nothing to do with Trini's can handle their own affairs, you are right it is not their style and sure dose not relate to the COP support base.

[bluemellow]

salman khan + bas ... like iz Jailhouse Rock in Aranguez on Saturday!!

[bluemellow]

Do you even understand how campaigns with class are conducted?
Do you understand how campaigns of international standards are conducted?

there you have it... a campaign with class!!!

[cm103]

Do you even understand how campaigns with class are conducted?
Do you understand how campaigns of international standards are conducted?

Flying to try and score a cheap political points off Mandela head is class?

Shooting an ad in the man yard as a consolation prize is class?

Yeah...I ent know class then

[Maccogirl]

Running an ad in the media where you take a combination of all the poll giving yourself a 1 point lead over the PNM to hood wink the public into believing that you are winning is a class act :lol:

[cm103]

I wasn't the one trying to prove anything Bas do is class eh...

I bet yuh was vex when Patos bring down Sizzla too...how come I not hearing anything about Bas' foreign artistes?

If Jesse cyah make it who next on the foreign endorsement list?

[bluemellow]

Paying ludicrous amounts of money to FOREIGN artistes to attract crowds of local supporters while our OWN local artistes are paid pittance in comparison is indeed very classy also.

[Maccogirl]

How you know our artist are being paid pittance? Am sure no artist will go a sing on a UNCA stage at election time for pittance not when after election they have to face the public like some of you forget what happened to Gypsy, nah they singing because the price is right and nothing more.

[bluemellow]

PITTANCE IN COMPARISON.

[bluemellow]

are you trying to tell me that the unc is paying beenie man and salman khan the same money as the local acts?
riiiiiiiight.

[Maccogirl]

Who care what they paying them why all yuh so interested in where UNC spending they money if they willing to give me a 5000 I an all will go and sing for them, let the artist get a food nah lord some of you unreal yes :roll:

[bluemellow]

i did NOT specify any party in my initial post. YOU mentioned UNCA.

[bluemellow]

Who care what they paying them why all yuh so interested in where UNC spending they money if they willing to give me a 5000 I an all will go and sing for them, let the artist get a food nah lord some of you unreal yes :roll:


i think you misunderstood my post.

[King B]

I have lost all respect for Jesse Jackson; he has no right involving himself in the politics of a sovereign state. The price was clearly right.

[peanut]

I have lost all respect for Jesse Jackson; he has no right involving himself in the politics of a sovereign state. The price was clearly right.

Oh but King, when Patrick was in Opposition I know for a fact he had a long meeting with Jesse Jackson. So what if the UNC-A invites him and who cares if you respect him or not?

[King B]

A long meeting is the same as speaking on an election platform. With that kind of donkey logic you should be contesting a seat in Tabaquite. :roll:

[Maccogirl]

You know what all this belly aching about what UNCA doing this election is really funny. First UNCA had these ad on television you know every single party now running ads just like the UNCA own, COP doing it and PNM doing it also.

Candidates talking to the public, ads on crime every one of them in the act now, this thing looking just like carnival when everyone use to cuss Minshall for his big stage acts, his elaborate wings and so on, the talk was that is not Carnival you know every fool doing the same thing now, so I will bet anything from now on elections in T&T will go to a new stage, it will be foreign acts and speakers galore wait and see :lol: :lol:

[peanut]

It's the kind of logic that PNM applies!

[JPersad]

Do you ?

Hold on pal .
I do not believe Jesse Jackson will be appearing on any platform , UNC or otherwise .Not in the middle of an election .
But Saturday we will know for sure .

[cm103]

so I will bet anything from now on elections in T&T will go to a new stage, it will be foreign acts and speakers galore wait and see :lol: :lol:

Maybe we should outsource the government too then...foreign obviously better

I see some group in Guyana already protesting Jackson coming to Trinidad.

YUh think the Rev will pull ah "Mandela " on Panday and Jck ?

[JPersad]

You comparing peanuts to walnuts ?
Having a meeting with someone and appearing on a political platform is 2 very different thing .
Do not be surprised if the REV Jackson pulls out of the UNC grand finale on Saturday .

[vaio]

he has no right interfering in our internal dealings...the man can't even make an impression in his own land...and he getting paid to come here to infleunce us...oh well..if we can't get mr mandela....jesse will do....dem UNC ppl to stupid to understand otherwise....look we have a goat in our meetings...who the hell is jessee...!!!!!!!!

[Parsifal]

The COP and PNM groups in NYC and Miami have been flooding the Rainbow/Push offices with emails and faxes for the last 48 hours now exhorting him not to come.

I understand that his speaking fee for the even is US$75,000.

[peanut]

So why all yuh start complaing about the 18000 Commonwealthians who are not citizens of T&T but will voting in the elections eh?

All yuh so fraid Jesse might have such an impact that it will sway voters at the last minute. Alkl yuh really full of IT inno :!:

Peanuts ,
Check your facts .
Only citizens can vote in a General Election .

[Maccogirl]

Not so JP. If you are a Commonwealth Citizen and you can prove that you have been resident in T&T for at least one (1) year you are entitled to vote. This has been so for a very long time now. It was ratified at a CHG meeting well over 25 years ago. A number of Trinis working up and down the Caribbean have voted in Barbados and Jamaica on this basis for a while now.

[vaio]

so why they bringing these ppl then and spend soooo much to have them here....?

[Sumana]

Why not :roll: Sure if COP had the money (seeing that they begging for money) they wudda brought even more people too :roll:

[Maccogirl]

The fact of the matter that is the UNCA game plan, you may not agree with it but its their political campaign to design how they want, its their money however they chose to spend it that is their business.

It may work for them it may not I see the PNM bringing a lot of Indians into their party, the PNM now plays a chutney song on their campaign trail, no one has an issue with that, its their choice to fashion their political strategy in whatever manner they feel will be of a benefit to them.

The COP going all over the place doing Puja now, some of their candidates more Hindu's than the Hindu's in T&T now, I see they have young blacks on their music trucks all over D/Martin, no one has a issue with that, the COP had the Chinese Dragon dancers in their rally no outcry, every party does what it feels to appeal to a certain section of the community, what is the big deal.

I feel everyone should bring who they want, if Jackson, Sharpton or whoever willing to come to T&T so what :roll:

[vaio]

Why not :roll: Sure if COP had the money (seeing that they begging for money) they wudda brought even more people too :roll:

So sumi how are you not saying anything abt the PNM?

[cm103]

So sumi how are you not saying anything abt the PNM?


Remember they aren't the real enemy. Panday say dat so everyone else fall in line quick to get Bas favor.

[vaio]

thanks cm, i forgot, what Bas says you obey!!!

Boy ah hate when all yuh furriners playing fast and loose playing all yuh know what going on in T&T

However, according to current assessment of the perceived mood of the electorate, in an increasingly tight three-way contest, the PNM is expected to retain power for a third-term (including its first term of merely nine months)--but without the two-thirds Manning is anxious to achieve.

The PNM has variously held state power for a combined 34 years since the country gained its political independence 45 years ago, in August 1962.

The EBC has given the size of the electorate for the November 5 poll as 990,000---approximately 100,000 more than that of 2002, and now including about 18,000 Commonwealth citizens eligible to vote, among them CARICOM nationals.

At the last election, there was a 68 percent turn out of voters with the PNM securing 20 of the then 36 parliamentary seats, with 50.7 percent of the popular votes to the UNC's 46.6 percent support for its 16 seats.

And it was carried in all the T&T Newspapers too eh.

[peanut]

HEH TAKE THIS TOO :roll: :roll: :roll:

18,000 Commonwealth citizens can vote EBC


EBC info

About 18,000 commonwealth citizens eligible to vote in the November 5 general election.
Commonwealth voters comprise about two per cent of the electorate.


ABOUT 18,000 Commonwealth citizens residing legally in T&T for more than a year are eligible to vote in the 2007 general election, according to information provided by the Elections and Boundaries Commission (EBC) yesterday.

The EBC said the total number of T&T citizens and residents eligible to vote in the 2007 general election was 989,053.

This means that Commonwealth voters comprise about two per cent of the electorate.

Commonwealth voters would include people born in Guyana, Grenada and St Vincent all English speaking Caribbean countries which are also members of the Commonwealth.

The EBC states that Commonwealth citizens who are 18 years and over, who have maintained legal residence in T&T for at least one year as well as residence in an electoral district for at least two months, are eligible for registration as electors.
