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.

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 ...

 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 ...

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 ...

Author: Fernando Buen Abad | internet@granma.cu August 18, 2020 11:08:30 PM 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, ...

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 ...

 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

 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 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 ...

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 ...

 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 ...

Our Prime minister, Andrew Holness, is scattering his novice leadership on various issues that are plaguing his administration since the false promotion of prosperity and a crime-free Jamaica. He is learning that the art of serving in a political enclave, the JLP, is different than governing a country. The fact that he is surviving is a result of the archaic and undemocratic nature of his party ...

This monument-toppling cultural revolution does nothing to absolve Britain’s imperial crimes, historic or modern George Galloway was a member of the British Parliament for nearly 30 years. He presents TV and radio shows (including on RT). He is a film-maker, writer and a renowned orator.  13 Jun, 2020  Britain is in the grip of a revolution. Much to the relief of the country's ...

Our women traditionally have been assigned the role of housewives, baby mothers, and single parents with little assistance from the State. Michael Manley initiated an awareness when he challenged the status quo to pay more attention to women, especially our black mothers. He called for the removal of barriers to women’s plight and advocated for maternity leave with pay. This empowered our ...

 It is the system that failed Noel Chambers which encompasses all departments, the prison department, the justice department, and the Police department. The pertinent question should be, would the result be different if the victim was a member of the Mahfood Family, the Matalon Family, the McConnell family, the ISSA Family, the Marley Family, the Dacosta Family, The Butch Stewart Family, the ...

Almagro came out of the "quarantine" Mr. Luis Almagro was lost. But, as far as is known, it is not due to any affectation by COVID-19. I think, rather, that he was "charging the batteries" to continue the policy established by the United States government, which was the one who proposed and imposed his reelection as Secretary General of the OAS, last March. Author: Elson ...

The Honorable Ambassador Tapia should use this occasion to take a stand against racism by condemning the brutal murder of George Floyd by rogue policemen. We are connected by race and journey from our motherland, Africa, to our brothers and sister in America and feel their pain. Our ancestors laid the foundation of resistance when our heroine, Nanny, fought the British to gain that precious gift, ...
