THE REASON THE US WANTS WAR IN UKRAINE IS ULTIMATELY ALL ABOUT THE DOLLAR.
For months now we’ve been hearing Washington ring alarm bells regarding what they have cited as an “imminent Russian invasion of Ukraine.” According to the latest so-called US “intelligence,” a full-scale invasion would take place this week. Yet, as some of us have for months insisted would be the case, no invasion has transpired, nor, I believe, is one likely.
Moscow, which has ...
YES TO COMPLETE REPUBLICAN STATUS, YES TO OUR PEOPLE VOTING FOR THE PRESIDENT, NO TO PARLIAMENT OBSTRUCTION AND DELAY!!
Mr. Holness has established a Ministry of legal and constitutional Affairs, another layer of bureaucracy to possibly deal with the colonial constitution that degrades us as a nation. We totally endorse the gleaner editorial position on having our 60th year of political independence the year of reckoning. We differ with their position of having the Parliament choosing the president, it must ...
DR. CHANG CANNOT SOLVE OUR CRIME PROBLEMS, OTHERS BEFORE HIM FAILED, THE SOLUTION LIES IN THE DETACHMENT OF THE DIRTY POLITICS FROM THE SECURITY FORCES.

All Maroons Must Unite As One, The Historical Mistake Must Not Be Repeated
The cockpit region is in the news again with the Gleaner playing its divisive rols as they did during the Garvey period and our socio-political development. A national newspaper and our Prime minister must be the first line of defence of our historical and national treasure.

A Summit As Unreal As The "Democracy" It Defends
The virtual summit held at the behest of the United States government on December 9 and 10, with pre-recorded speeches by the guests and a completely manipulated agenda, was an exercise in demagoguery, with no benefit to the international community and without any proposal to solve the world's most pressing problems that we share.
As a political device, it only served to show the growing ...

CRIME, VIOLENCE,CORRUPTION, MIGRATION, MURDERS AND THE IMPOSITION OF SOE IS THE RESULT OF YEARS OF BAD ECONOMIC PLANNING AND EXECUTION
The same old tried and failed policies on crime management are parlayed to our people with the chief executive officer of our country at the helm again. We warned repeatedly that the economic agenda pursued by the IMF and our Private sector would fail our country, it was never designed to empower our country or people. It is a debt trap that enriches the already wealthy and the 5% who control our ...
THE SOLUTION TO OUR PROBLEM MUST BEGIN WITH THE CHANGING OF OUR ECONOMIC PLATFORM!!
The continuing decline in our economic and social pillars results from our current financial platform. One cannot develop a country financed by the International Monetary Fund whose only objective is to keep us indebted to the benefit of the private sector!!

OUR HEROES FOUGHT FOR THE POOR AND THE OPPRESSED, OUR PEOPLE STILL IN BONDAGE.
National heroes day, a reflection on where we are and what our heroes fought for. Our country has become the haven for exploiters to invest and maximize profit as they wish with no protection or oversight from our government.

CAPITALISM DEGRADES LIFE AND REDUCE EVERYTHING TO COMMODITIES
