A "news" website that originates in Belize called Channel 5 Belize ran a story on July 26 of this year that made claims that were not based in fact regarding Lord Neil Gibson and his associated company Handels Securities Ltd. In the article (which was published without authorship credits) the writer claims to have no knowledge of Gibson or his business dealings with the leadership of Belize, and goes on to assert that if he has not personally heard of the specifics of these meetings then they must not have happened, even going as far as to claim that the news about the meetings and projects that is referenced on several online spaces dedicated to Neil Gibson is false information in an attempt to dupe investors. This story was obviously slander and was unsubstantiated by any facts or proof of any kind, only the opinion of the author. The fact that the piece was not presented as opinion reflects on the credibility of Channel 5 Belize itself as an organization, and proves conclusively that Channel 5 Belize will air any story that is paid for, without any verification of facts or vetting of information. It is certainly disappointing when "news" organizations act unscrupulously and allow their reputation as a legitimate provider of public information to mislead the general public in this way.
The actual facts in the case are that Lord Neil Gibson and his company Handels Securities Ltd. had been involved in ongoing negotiations and meetings with the leadership of Belize for some time, in an attempt to bring sustainable infrastructure improvements in life-improvement projects to the people of Belize. The speculation that Gibson had not been in contact with Belizian officials can easily be proven otherwise by viewing the documentation provided by Kim Simplis Barrow, the First Lady of Belize and wife of the Prime Minister, regarding charitable donations and sponsorships of charity events organized by her group "The Inspiration Center" in Feb. of this year.
