Dear all, The decision to import GM seeds into Belize is folly. At the very least, it’s extremely premature. The Belize Agricultural Health Authority does not have the resources, time, or capacity to do any meaningful monitoring of this environmental release. I find it incredulous that the product was brought in ...

Editor Sir, Kindly allow me some of your valuable space to comment on Searchlight of 18-12-11. The article consists of four long paragraphs.  In the first she approves of foreign governments using their power to force Belize to accept the Homosexual Agenda.  This is a strange position for the wife of a ...

Dear Editor, It seems as if every time we go into the month of December, Belizeans have this flash back of the U.D.P. massacre. How can any one forget about that year?  February 11th, 1996 was when the U.D.P. was in power under the leadership of the Vat Man, Manuel Esquivel. ...

Editor Sir: In a television program done by Miss Janelle Chanona, the question was asked: “Can the State impose morality on its citizens?” The topic being discussed was the homosexual issue on a segment of the news of Friday, 9- 12-2011.

Dear Editor, After all the struggling and painful moments we went through for four long years under this so-called UDP Government, we ask ourselves: do we need another five more years? Hell NO!  Belizeans, if that happens you can kiss this country goodbye because the little bit of oxygen we are ...

Dear Editor, Please allow me space in your newspaper to share a very important concern of mine and that of many other parents like myself. Earlier this year, the Government of Belize declared the Belize City Centre as “condemned”, explaining that its structural integrity was all but lost, rendering it unsafe.  I ...

Dear Mr. Editor, This morning I was flipping through the television channels and I heard when Joe Bradley’s son who is running for UDP mayor say that he will impose another tax. Imagine that without elections he is talking about increasing taxes. His father (a man I cannot stand) admitted that he ...
