Every time Sue's Blog posts - somebody gets annoyed at the political or establishment level. The big corps and the shareholders do not want an interference with their plundering of our future - so a few may get richer and richer. The politicians - controlled by lobbying influence - or worse - simply want me to go away. They wished I did not speak and certainly did not have an open discussion on what is public money, resources, and policy. They are not spending their own personal money they are spending ours. They are not negotiating the sale of their house but rather resources that are owned by the people for the benefit of the people.
Invariably one of them gets a Solid Gold idea and sends shots across my bow. They do not care how they do it or who they harm - they simply just do it.
For four years now they have been rid of me and apparently do not like that I am back. All they have accomplished is the gathering of four years of information and data - that the public does need to know and discuss.
This time when they take a smack - just is well they threw it at themselves. I'm not staying quiet - in fact I am just gearing up. The people deserve open and frank dialogue on issues and resources that affect them. For those of you that do not believe intimidation is alive and well - just means you have not crossed them - in any significant way.
These bullies will come at you whatever way they can. They directly interefere with your employment and anything else that power and money wants. You have heard government employees in the past talk about how they feared speaking up or whistle blowing. This has not changed and that is why we end up with travesties such as the Mount Cashel affair, the Breast Cancer Inquiry, and no doubt some of things John Noseworthy - the provinces Auditor General has in his report issued today or economic catastrophies like the Upper Churchill. I'm sure Cabana just got a little taste as somebody showed up at the door of his house - because he wanted to run for the leadership of a party - which was inconvenient for the party brass.
During the privatization of hydro attempt - when I was still a relatively young woman - I was slandered, telephoned, and "spoken to" - and even today the proponents of that idea and the business people who wanted to make a killing on your assets - continue to hold against me - that I fought that proposed giveaway.
These Solid Gold ideas need to be overhauled and these people need to understand - you can try and silence your critics or those who stand in the way of elite shareholders getting all that they can pocket - but not this time.
The idea that tens of millions - hundreds of millions - billions might be just a government policy away - does not mean you should count those chickens before they hatch. And by the way - as most Newfoundland and Labrador adults have said "grow up out of it".
For the readers any stories you want to pass along - you can do so anonymously, I'm sure there's a good few out there. Remember now - be a team player. That's what Fabian Manning did - he's in the Senate or Beth Marshall - when after Danny demoted her through interference - shutup and was a good tory - she's in the Senate. You should see what it takes to hold a politcal job. Get some popcorn and enjoy the feature.

Hi Sue.
Have you given any thought about running as an independent candidate in the upcoming federalist election?
I think you would have a good chance!
Maria V. Johnson writes in a short story that "you just can't keep a good woman down".
I have followed you for years now Sue .
I have written letters to the editor of a now defunct newspaper, when certain misogynists have used you as there own "whipping girl".
I have made many calls to open-line when callers have wanted to have a "lambaste Sue morning".
I don't feel the need to protect you , but, I absolutely abhor cowardly attacks on someone by anonymous callers .
I have asked Simms many times if it isn't possible to screen such calls .
My answer comes with the very next caller , it is like beating your head against a wall .
Anyway , I am glad that you are "back on your feet again " , so to speak .
Hope that we are taking note of what is happening in the Middle East. People, who have lived for years under the point of a gun, are now demanding real change
