THE GOVERNMENT MUST MOVE TO PROTECT THE LIVELIHOOD OF THE WORKERS AND POOR, COVID19 IS A THREAT TO THEIR LIFE.
The threat of some of our people not having enough to eat, to pay for medical care, and to pay rent and mortgages is manifesting itself daily as the fallout from the Covid19 is being felt across the island. Some businesses are using the pandemic as a cover to further maximize profit by laying off workers and having a few doing the work thus adding more stress in the delivery of services and ...
GOVERNMENT MUST MOVE TO HAVE EACH PARISH BECOMING A FOOD PRODUCING CENTRE TO OFSETT THE IMPENDING CRISIS OF COVID19.
The continuing privatization of our food will only exacerbate the problems. Successive government has pay lip service to our agriculture sector. The pandemic sweeping our island is already witnessing hunger and unemployment coupled with the tax payment to be paid out, over 200billion, to the private sector on the back of our people. Our people are already feeling the negative effect of COVID 19 ...

BIG DATA AND THE SCIENCE OF MANIPULATING THE MASSES
At the beginning of the 20th century, Edward L. Bernays, publicist, journalist, and inventor of the theory of public relations, considered the father of modern propaganda and the engineering of consensus in the United States, stated in one of his texts, “The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in a democratic ...
RIP TOOTS, A MUSICAL REGGAE ICON, FOUNDATION OF OUR INDIGENOUS CULTURE
Toots represented the main sinew of our musical fiber taken from the rhythmical movement of our daily life. It is a shame that it is in death that our people are bombarded with the many songs attributed to our musical icon. It is the lack of promotion and acceptance by the powers that be of our homegrown culture why our youths are steeped in western decadence. The adage that fish rot from ...
ALLENDE, PATRIOT OF CHILE, KILLED WHILE DEFENDING DEMOCRACY.
The coup d'état reminds us that wherever socialism has shown the best possibilities of making life viable for our peoples, capitalism has fought it with suffocation and death.

DOES THE SYSTEM REALLY NEED GOOD LEADERSHIP THAT SOLVE OUR PEOPLE PROBLEM? BOTH PNP AND JLP WAS SET UP TO PRESERVE THE STATUS QUO!!!
The result and conduct of our election prove the corruption and decay of a system that benefits the powerful elites that still dominate. Over 60% of our people refused to be part of this charade an increase from the 56% that prevailed. It is not a surprise to those who understand the dynamics of our tribal politics, both parties decline in acceptance by our people. The PNP died over forty ...
63% OF OUR PEOPLE SHUN BOTH POLITICAL PARTIES!! ANDREW HOLNESS RETURN AS PRIME MINISTER WITH 20% OF COVID 19 VOTERS.
Mr. Andrew Holness was returned as Prime Minister of Jamaica after garnering 20% of a total of 37% voters participation. Mr. Holness with cash in hand and after placing key loyal personnel in important positions decimated the once-powerful machinery of the Peoples National Party. Mr. Holness had the covert blessing of the United States with Donald Trump and the powerful Private Sector ...
THE CORPORATE SPONSOR ELECTION DEBATE, BOTH GOLDING AND CLARKE ARE PAWN IN THIS ELECTIONEERING GAME.
It was very interesting to watch both Nigel and Mark trying to explain how they will finance the promises made to gain power in the anti-people parliament, a relic of our colonial past. Mark was more honest and forthcoming in his answers, he is sympathetic to the cause of the poor, while Nigel was repeating his textbook knowledge of Macro-Economics. Both stayed clear of not mentioning the impact ...

Habits, customs, and traditions (so apparently untouchable in times of "normality") were "derailed" by the enormous force of the health crisis, until today, the largest in history, caused by capitalism. Weddings, birthdays, baptisms, funerals ... rites, processions, or inheritances to which else, ...
OUR STATE OF POLITICAL DECAY IN FULL DISPLAY, WHILE THE POWER PLAYERS STAY SILENT, THEY PROFIT FROM IT.
The fight for power is on, both sides putting their machinery in motion. It is well known that Andrew Holness is well oiled financially, the power-brokers are solidly behind him, they profit handsomely from the stock market last year. Both parties are signatory to the apartheid economic formula imposed on our country, the IMF, a system that has no record of success in the world. To begin the ...
WHAT THE UPCOMING ELECTION OFFERS IS THE CHANCE FOR OUR PEOPLE TO FIRE ANDREW HOLNESS!!
Our people are faced with two option, the continuation of a Prime Minister that mimick the behavior of Donald Trump or an opposition that promised stability, a desire to follow the rule of law, to stamp out corruption and to realign our foreign policy to reflect the sentiment of the United Nations. Mr. Holness promised our people a lot and have yet to fulfill any of them. Our dollar ...
EMANCIPATION FROM WHAT TO WHAT? THE SELLING OFF OF OUR BIRTHRIGHT AND IMPOVERISHMENT IS THE RESULT OF BOTH PATTERSON AND HOLNESS NEO-COLONIAL AGENDA.
We are celebrating our 58th political independence celebration with our present governance mired in corruption, a spiraling murder rate, a dysfunctional health care system, and an educational system that still looks down on students from the poor and working-class while the elite school has the black students subjected to racist overtures and insults, an educated beggar class, a sizable homeless ...
CORRUPTION-SCANDAL-CORRUPTION-SCANDAL AND MURDERS ARE THE HALLMARK OF HOLNESS GOVERNANCE!!
It is interesting to read the commentaries by the gleaner Journalist on the misdeeds of our politicians, all describing their deeds but never the punishment, it is what our people are looking for. It is no accident that our national hero, the Rt. Honorable Marcus Garvey recommendation on public official betraying the public trust, they must be shot. Our governance is so corrupt that they are now ...
JAMAICA CANNOT BE PROSPEROUS AND BENEFIT THE MAJORITY OF OUR PEOPLE IF IT IS FACE WITH SYSTEMIC CORRUPTION AND POVERTY!!
Our government needs to end the politicization of our national life. We are a critical juncture wherein our people want drastic change that will improve their security and their living standard. The endemic corruption must be rooted out and along with that the equitable distribution of wealth. The current architectual design benefit only 5% of the population. It cannot be business as usual, our ...
IT IS THE SYSTEM THAT IS CORRUPT!! IT PROTECT THE POLITICIANS AND THE ELITES, IT WORK ONLY AGAINST THE POOR AND WORKERS.
The system is giving cover to the powerful, rich, and politicians that flout the law. The petro-caribe scandal is still not investigated and the reasons are clear, it goes all the way to the top. There are so many layers of prosecutorial entities with most fill with political appointees and thus are there to push back against exposure and due process. The history Of Vaz is a vivid ...
THE GOVERNOR GENERAL INSIGNIA WORN ON HIS SHOULDER IS A TESTAMENT TO OUR RACIST STRUCTURE AND ALLEGIANCE TO THE BRITISH THRONE.
The revolt against the racist killing of Floyd George has spread its wings and landed on the shoulders of our Honorable British designate, our governor-general. If the governor was not aware of this racist badge then he must have been so colonized or simply stupid!! It is a fact that most of our institution is a replica of the Monarchial system of governance, which is racist!!! How else can one ...
CUBA, A NATION UNDER SIEGE BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, NEED OUR FULL SUPPORT OF SOLIDARITY.
The Trump administration is hell-bent on reversing the progress made under the Obama administration by attacking the Cuban medical mission in providing health care to deserving countries. The Cuban medical program and technology within this pandemic have shone the light on their sterling performance and accomplishment in tackling this monster. The Trump administration under the false accusation ...
THEY ARE NO LONGER SERVANTS OF OUR PEOPLE, THEY ARE DRUNK WITH CORRUPTION WITH NO CONSEQUENCES!!!
Once again we see shady acts by our politicians with no penalty enforced. They are above the law that they enact and ensure that all branches of government are infected. The Political Parties have a code of silence among themselves that mirror those that exist within the US police force. Our prosecutorial organs are stack with their allies thus hindering the flow of Justice. They must be ...
