A far more dangerous effect is based on the increasing numbers of rodent on the island. The endemic rats in government were aided by a flux of albino rats from the Netherlands. These rats take over all leading positions in society and are rewarded with land, positions, money and sexual favors. Yes, that too!
The endemic rats are rewarded with fake tenders for all kind of building projects. Project developers have demanded more roads, so more hotels can be built around the coasts. Don’t be surprised if GTI Statia suddenly gets permission for erecting more terminals on the side of the town. Already the Swiss banking account of a certain endemic rat has received a large sum of money. Wonder who? That’s obvious!
The biggest secret on the island concerns the number of people infected by contact with civil servants. There are also secret statistics about the number of infected by contact with so-called white essential workers. These were invited by the Francis/Toet gang to the island.
On the dark web there is a contest for who can develop a virus that only affects government officials.
