2019, A YEAR OF CORRUPTION, MURDERS, PROMISES AND NO GROWTH!!

What happened in 2019 is the enrichment of the same few that have been in control of our economic and political life since independence. The Private Sector along with their partners in Parliament have ...
MODERN SLAVERY IN RURAL JAMAICA, NEGLECT AND DECAY.
Touring the parish of Manchester, parish of my dad's birthplace was a refreshing and shocking experience. Not much has changed, the natural beauty still dots the landscape.

The price they are paid is so minimal ...

Dr. NIGEL CLARKE, THE IMF CANNOT WORK IN JAMAICA FOR THE 95% ONLY FOR THE 5%
Dr. Clarke's article in the Sunday Gleaner, Dec,15,2019 ( Fiscal Sustainability, external sustainability, and price stability) regurgitated the typical liberal argument on the correct path chosen in adopting the IMF model of economic development.

BORIS JOHNSON, DONALD TRUMP TWIN BROTHER.
In the western world, using their concept of democracy to elect racist, warmongers, and demagogues, Boris Johnson is the latest addition. Hidden behind the media hoopla is the privately-owned media manipulating people's thoughts to gain the desired outcome. When the racists are not stealing Venezuelan assets they are overthrowing governments in Latin America. Ethnic groups in England will be ...
