Patrick Faber: “Mind How You di Sell Your Soul For $250 Million”

Also contributing to the debate was former Minister of Education and Collet Area Representative Patrick Faber. He says that he is not anti-American but questions what the U.S. wants from Belize in exchange for the two hundred and fifty million dollars. Faber cautioned Belizeans to stay woke and remain cautious. He also chastised the Briceno administration over the composition of the M.C.C. Belize board of directors. Faber contended that four handpicked government C.E.O.s will be appointed to the board.

“The way how some of my colleagues get up and sing you would think America is doing this out of some great love for Belize. In fact, no they are doing it out of great love for the P.U.P., the wonderful Plan Belize that they put into effect. The Wonderful leadership of John Briceno, wonderful practices. This is why the U.S woke up and said let us develop this Millenium Challenge and let’s have Belize be a part of it. Please nobody misquote me or say anything contrary. In fact, the U.S have their ears to the ground for sure. I am not anti-U.S.A, but what I am saying is whenever you see the U.S doing something it is part of a larger plan. This is historical. I watched as President Biden laid out his plan to NATO and they are celebrating the seventy-fifth anniversary as NATO. They are clear of what the agenda is, to keep the U.S as a superpower and so everything the U.S does is geared towards and agenda for the U.S. We have long been struggling with poverty and the U.S has not changed its geographical location; in fact, I skip to Mexico and cross the border and we are in the U.S.  And I don’t blame America, America has its agenda. We should have ours too. When they give us this gift, it is not a loan. Two hundred and fifty million dollars gift, you best believe there is some agenda. I am not saying it is a bad agenda, but I am hoping the prime minister can tell us what the U.S will get from this.”
